Linxi City really deserves to be Kyoto in the West Night, Xin Xiran took Yao Shi and Qiu Zhan to the center of the city, and Yao Xi finally realized what prosperity is.

In fact, after entering Beijing, except for a few days before entering the school, she walked around Beijing, and then she didn't come once. And now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the style of the street is even more different.

Although it is not yet Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets have begun to play drums, people are also wearing red colors, children wearing ghost masks are shuttling through the crowd, and adults are constantly chasing behind, for fear that the children will be lost.

The vendors on both sides of the street are dressed in festive clothes, and red lanterns are hung on the shops and lit up until dark.

The juggling troupe's performance was also very exciting, and everyone was full of people, and everyone applauded while throwing a few copper coins into the copper basin.

As the sky grew dark, the lanterns were lit one after another, and the streets were full of red lanterns hanging high.

The vendor's shouts were louder, and the old man who sold the candy was full of children, chirping and pointing, and the mother-in-law who sold sugar gourds was followed by a string of children, laughing and singing nursery rhymes.

It is a scene of prosperity and harmony, even if you are a bystander, you can't help but smile when you look at it. Yao Xi was infected by such emotions, and the smile on his face never stopped.

At this moment, the three of them finally became like children, in fact, they were only twelve or thirteen or fourteen years old, just older children than ordinary children, in such a lively and fun place, they naturally returned to a little bit of children's nature.

"Sister Yao, come on, come on, this is good-looking. Xin Xiran ran excitedly to a shop and pointed to a bunch of things on the stall.

Yao Xi looked over and saw that it was all kinds of gesture earrings and hairpins, which were good-looking, but she didn't need them now, she only glanced at them a few times, and finally her eyes fell on a bamboo flute.

Although he only stayed for a while, Xin Xiran still noticed it, picked up the flute with a smile and said, "Boss, wrap this up for me." ”

Yao Yan hurriedly pressed his hand when he heard this: "If you want to buy it and give it to me, then I don't want it." ”

Xin Xiran was puzzled: "Don't you like it, this is not valuable, it should be a New Year's gift from me." ”

Yao Xian's attitude was extremely resolute: "Don't, I don't want it if you buy it, not to mention ----- I have it myself." Qiu Ji gave her a jade flute, and when she was fine, she took it out and blew it blindly, and she couldn't find the tune, but she was very happy.

Xin Xiran sighed, put down the flute and asked, "These things are very good-looking, which one do you like?"

"Is it appropriate to wear gold and silver in the academy?" Yao Xian smiled angrily, "Let's go, I'll just take a look at it, and I don't like these beads." ”

Xin Xiran shrugged his shoulders, "It's okay, I'll send you good ones in the future, don't do these." ”

Yao Yan didn't seem to hear it, her eyes were already attracted by the mask shop opposite, she walked over with a smile, picked up a lady's mask, compared it to her face, and said to herself with a smile: "This mask is beautiful." ”

"Not only is it pretty, but it's also cheap, girl, buy one, my mask here is the cheapest on the street, only ten copper plates. ”

Yao Xi was a little moved, she glanced at the shelf again, and wondered, "Is this mask a pair?"

The boss smiled: "The girl is smart, she has a couple, and a young man's mask, but she was just bought by a son." The little old man saw that the son's bearing was extraordinary, he was definitely the dragon and phoenix among the people, the girl might as well buy one, maybe she could meet the son, and it was also your fate. ”

Yao Yan put the mask down again and shook his head.

The boss was anxious: "Girl, this is really the only mask on this street that is not the same, it is different from others, you must be brilliant when you wear it." ”

"But you originally sold it as a pair, and I also wanted to buy a pair, but now there is only a single one, and I don't want it. Yao said with regret.

"What's wrong?" Xin Xiran followed from behind.

Yao Yan shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go elsewhere." ”

When the boss saw that she was leaving, he immediately compromised and said: "In this way, eight copper plates, this mask will belong to you, how about it? This is indeed sold in pairs, but the boy said that he would only buy one, and I can't help it." ”

Yao Xi hesitated for a moment, and finally picked up the mask again, gestured at the bronze mirror, and said with a smile: "I bought it." As he spoke, he took out eight copper plates and handed them to the boss.

Xin Xiran hurriedly picked a man's mask on the shelf, and asked Qiu Zhan to pick one too, Qiu Zhan chose to choose and choose, and chose a child's face, and the three of them put on the masks, looked at each other's funny masks, and laughed for a while.

The boss counted the copper plates to make sure it was right, smiled and bowed goodbye, and watched Yao Xi and the three of them leave.

Although there is the sound of singing and laughter in his ears, but through a mask, he seems to have become an outsider, those voices sound so unreal, and the blur and prosperity in front of him seem to have nothing to do with him.

Yao Yan lowered the corners of her mouth, the joy just now was gone in an instant, for some reason, she always felt empty in her heart, as if something was missing, but she didn't understand what was missing.

"Sister Yao----- Sister Yao?" Xin Xi shook his hand in front of Yao Yan's eyes, staring at her strangely, "What's wrong?"

Although he couldn't see it through the mask, Yao Xi still showed a smile: "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, I just asked if you want to eat Ji Xiangju or Bao Cui Lou. ”

Qiu Zhan hurriedly said: "Ji Xiangju, Ji Xiangju." ”

Yao Xian nodded: "Then Ji Xiangju." ”

Xin Xiran glanced at Qiu Zhan angrily: "Ji Xiangju is not as good as Baocui Building." In fact, he wanted to take Yao Shi to Baocui Building, although the two are not equal in taste, but the decoration of Baocui House is more suitable for young people, especially for young boys and girls, in comparison, Ji Xiangju is too serious.

"Then let's go to Jixiangju. Xin Xiran finally compromised.

Jixiangju is a famous restaurant in Beijing, it is overcrowded on weekdays, like these days, almost all the academies have been closed one after another, and the wine shops, gambling halls and even kilns in Beijing can see the shadow of the apprentices everywhere. When the three of them came to the door of Ji Xiangju, they saw people waiting in line outside the door.

Seeing this, Yao Xi and Qiu Zhan glanced at each other, and both understood the meaning from each other's eyes, Yao Yan said: "Let's go and eat a bowl of chaos casually, I don't know how long it will take to wait here, but I am already hungry with my chest against my back." ”

When Xin Xiran heard this, she thought she was really hungry and uncomfortable, so she hurriedly comforted: "Bear with me, I'll go to the shopkeeper, he knows me, let him arrange a private room." ”

Yao Yan wanted to stop it, but Xin Xiran had already crossed the threshold, and she and Qiu Zhan had to follow.

The shopkeeper really knew Xin Xiran, and when he saw him, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and bowed: "Young Master Xin hasn't been to the shop for a long time, and the shop has recently released several new dishes. ”

Xin Xiran raised his eyebrows at the two, and his face was smug.

The three of them were about to go upstairs when they heard someone behind them shouting, "Wait." ”

Several people looked back, but they were four young sons, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and they were also the sons of the families of dignitaries, but the four of them were now glaring at Xin Xiran, Yao Xi and Qiu Zhan.

"Shopkeeper, didn't you just say that there is no space? Why are you still bringing people with you?"

The shopkeeper's heart tightened, and he hurriedly stepped forward with a smiling face: "There was indeed no private room just now, but someone just went out, and it happened that Young Master Xin brought his friends to dinner, isn't it, it's a coincidence." ”
