As soon as the idea came up, Wei Luo suddenly realized that she was wearing it for him.
Looking at her disappointed face again, it was like a flower that had just emerged from the pond and was about to bloom beautifully, but was immediately hit by the cold rain. Wei Luo rubbed his right hand on his knee twice, and then said, “I told Chang Feng to tell Elder Yin that you and I will go to appreciate the lanterns, so we won’t go in.”
Elder Yin really loved her. He would be happy that she could come out to see the lanterns. How could he feel sorry for not seeing her?
Yin Hui really didn’t expect it. She smiled unconsciously looking at him.
Wei Luo looked to one side, and the dim light in the carriage couldn’t warm his cold face.
But Yin Hui was happy. His confession proved that he still respected her grandfather, and he was not arrogant and rude.
“It turns out that you are so thoughtful. I wrongly blamed you,” Yin Hui moved to his side, hugged his arm, and rested her head on his shoulder.
Wei Luo said indifferently, “What’s wrong with me?”
Yin Hui hugged him even tightly and whispered, “You are usually cold to me, but just now I wrongly blamed you for not caring about my feelings with my grandfather.”
Wei Luo frowned. When did he treat her coldly?
When the words were on the verge of speaking, he didn’t want to ask anymore. Women always liked to think wildly. Just like that day, he just didn’t come out of the study to see her, but she actually thought about the difference between thinking about her body and thinking about her.
“Sit down, how indecent it will be to be seen by others,” Wei Luo scolded in a low voice.
Yin Hui obediently sat back in her original position.
Wei Luo continued to close his eyes and meditate.
Yin Hui’s mood improved and she listened attentively to the commotion on the street.
When they arrived at the main street, the carriage stopped at the entrance of an alley, and Wei Luo helped Yinhui get off the carriage.
The place was dark, and there was a whole street of lights in front of it, and the people were constantly moving, laughing and drinking to dilute the coldness of the night.
They were out anyway. So it was better to have a good time, otherwise it would be coming out to freeze in vain.
Putting the hand stove back on the carriage, Yin Hui pulled Wei Luo’s sleeve and said with a smile, “Let’s go, the lantern festival in Pingcheng is still very interesting.”
Wei Luo pulled her hand away and glanced around.
Yin Hui went to the carriage again, poked her head in and rummaged for a while, and then brought out two bamboo masks. The smaller one was painted as a rabbit, and the larger one was painted as a tiger.
Wei Luo looked at her puzzled.
Yin Hui explained, “I knew you may not like to show your face, so I brought these two masks I used when I was a child, just in case.”
She put on the rabbit head mask, revealing only a pair of beautiful bright eyes. “This way, no one will recognize who we are.”
Wei Luo doubted it, as he could recognize her by her eyes.
However, if one just passed by and didn’t pay special attention, it was really hard to recognize her.
After he thought that, he looked at the tiger mask in her hand and asked, “Is this also what you used?”
Yin Hui said, “This is my grandfather’s. In those years, everyone liked to wear this thing. By the way, don’t worry, my grandfather wore it once, and I let the servant girl scrub it carefully. So you can wear it with confidence.”
Wei Luo finally took the tiger mask, and before putting it on, he asked again, “Why does he have a tiger mask?”
Yin Hui smiled and said, “Grandfather said I am a rabbit who may be bullied easily and he pretended to be a tiger to protect me.”
At that moment, she seemed to have turned back into the carefree second lady of the Yin family, a child who was held in the palm of her grandfather.
Wei Luo could imagine the scene and silently put on the mask.
Yin Hui looked at him, walked over, supported his arm with one hand, and stood on tiptoe, straightening the mask for him, which was a little crooked.
After setting it up, she looked at him again, and saw a pair of clear and cold eyes hidden behind the majestic tiger mask.
Well, the grandfather pretending to be a tiger was a kind tiger, but Wei Luo was even scarier.
“Let’s go.” She took the lead and walked toward the brightly lit long street.
Just as Wei Luo was about to catch up, he glanced at Chang Feng who had already caught up and ordered, “You stay.”
The purpose of wearing a mask was to hide his identity. If Chang Feng was by his side, people who had seen him would naturally be able to guess who he was.
“Be careful,” Chang Feng said worriedly. His third master had never been to such a busy area alone, in case there were assassins…
Wei Luo had already returned to Yin Hui’s side, and followed her into the sea of people.
King Yan’s Mansion was Wei Luo’s territory, and Yin Hui was obviously at ease on the streets of Pingcheng. She easily avoided pedestrians who bumped into her unintentionally. Wei Luo, on the other hand, seemed to regard those people as enemies, avoiding them as much as he could. It was fine for him to avoid them himself, but he also grabbed Yin Hui and hid together, like avoiding snakes and scorpions. It gradually attracted strange expressions from the people.
Yin Hui couldn’t persuade him. So she simply followed him to the side of the road, so as not to be regarded as a lunatic by the people again.
In front of them, there was a stall selling candied haws.
“I want to buy it! Do you want to eat it?” Yin Hui asked him.
The people standing in front of the stall were all children and accompanying parents and elders, so Wei Luo refused without thinking.
Yin Hui took out her purse from her sleeve and said with a smile, “Then wait here. I will go by myself.”
Wei Luo acquiesced, watching her graciously lining up behind the two children, and when it was her turn, she unexpectedly also carefully picked a bunch.
“The one at the top is the biggest, you really don’t want to eat it?” Standing together again, Yin Hui held the candied haws in front of him.
The bright red hawthorn fruit was covered with a thin layer of sugar candy, the beautiful and bright red was like her lips after drinking water.
Wei Luo turned his head to avoid it.
Yin Hui ate it by herself, raised the edge of the mask slightly with one hand, stuffed the candied haws in, and took a light bite, making a crunchy click.
After eating it, only half of the hawthorn fruit at the top was left.
“Let’s go ahead,” Yin Hui commanded.
Wei Luo walked outside, not only to guard against the pedestrians who might squeeze over at any time, but also to prevent her from carelessly swinging the candied haws on him.
Yin Hui had enough after eating three hawthorns, and there happened to be a seven or eight-year-old commoner girl next to her. Yin Hui smiled and asked her if she wanted it. Her lips did not touch any other hawthorns, and they were very clean.
The little girl’s eyes lit up with joy.
Without the candied haws in her hand, Yin Hui walked faster, looking around, and suddenly stopped, pointing to a lamp store opposite, “Look!”
Wei Luo looked over.
Yin Hui was very pleasantly surprised. “After visiting the lantern festival for so many years, this is the first time I saw a pigeon lantern. I’ll buy two.”
Before she finished her words, Yin Hui had already run through the crowd.
Soon, she came over with two lanterns.
Wei Luo looked at the two gently shaking pigeon lights.
Two, in pairs?
The author has something to say:
Huihui: It’s a lamp for me and my child, Xiao Heng and I have one lamp for each of us!
Third Master: You don’t need to explain, I understand.
