1030 Chapter 1030-making a wish
“Aunt Yin’s niece? Why did he come to kun city? Are you here to visit your relatives?” Gu Xin asked curiously.
She wouldn’t make friends with just anyone. Ever since she met Li Shan, she knew that not all girls were good girls like Xiao Yu, Yanyu, and Zhiyi. There were also bad girls in this world.
“No, it’s just that her parents were killed and her uncle and aunt wanted to marry her off to her aunt’s silly nephew. When first aunt found out, she sent someone to pick her up. First aunt thought that since I’m the only daughter in the family, it doesn’t matter if I have one more. You can keep me company.” Cheng Huaiyu explained.
“Oh, is that so? that’s really quite pitiful.” Gu Xin said sincerely.
“That’s right, this happened in our village before. However, she wasn’t as lucky as aunt Yin’s niece. After marrying a fool, she was tortured to death.” Gu si said with lingering fear.
“Really? Poor thing!” Cheng Huaiyu sighed with emotion.
Peng mu looked at the three young ladies who were upset over other people’s matter and smiled. “You three, don’t pity others. In this world, everyone had their own lives. Some people didn’t believe in fate, so they stubbornly resisted and changed their fate. However, there were some people who could not escape the arrangements of fate. So, don’t think too much about it. It’s only right for you to live well.”
The three girls looked at Peng mu.
Peng mu changed the topic without leaving a trace, directly leading the few people to the lantern show.
Soon, the three of them stopped thinking about those poor girls and began to shop at the lantern show.
Gu Xin was able to guess all these riddles correctly. She had been to the lantern shows twice and had heard so many others guess it. Before the first two lantern shows, she had even pestered her father to tell her a lot.
So, when Gu Xin saw that the neighboring country’s people were still trying to figure it out, she wanted to tell him the answer.
But this was against the rules!
Along the way, the people of the Lang GE Kingdom could basically guess the simple lantern riddles. Some of the people from the other four kingdoms could also guess it, but not many.
Gu Xin was a little speechless. She looked around and saw that there were people releasing river lanterns and Kong Ming lanterns by the lake.
Gu Xin called Gu si and Cheng Huaiyu to release the lights.
You can even make a wish by releasing a light!
Peng mu came over with the three girls. After taking a look at Cheng Huaiyu, he also bought a River lamp and wrote a poem. He then walked to the river and waited for the girls.
Gu Xin and Gu si were just having fun, so they wrote about the great Zhou Dynasty being peaceful and the whole family being healthy.
Cheng Huaiyu missed her brother, and she hoped that everything would be fine for her brother.
Gu Xin put down the river lamp and suddenly thought of Lu Zheng, ” “It would be great if brother Yuanyuan was here! I don’t know if I can give out the birthday gift today!”
Cheng Huaiyu tilted his head and said,”Xinxin, third brother said that young master Zhou will be back soon.” Was it his birthday today? You mean the birthday present?”
Gu Xin nodded, ” My birthday is on the same day as brother Yuanyuan’s, so today is my birthday too. Little Yu, I’m 13!”
I’m sorry, Xinxin, ” Cheng Huaiyu said apologetically. I didn’t know it was your birthday today. I didn’t even prepare a gift for you. I’ll make it up to you in two days, okay?”
Gu Xin smiled and waved her hand. I didn’t even celebrate my birthday in the past. I only celebrated it in the past two years. You don’t have to give me a present.
Cheng Huaiyu shook her head and said,”no, I have to give it to you.” You’re so good to me and have helped me so much. Next month, I’ll give it to you on the 15th of next month, okay?”
