On the bright moon night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, enjoy the fireworks in Bianjing Golden Pond.

On this day, the night in Bianjing City will be as lively as day.

Boiling and noisy, it is a real city that never sleeps.

On weekdays, if a woman wants to go out, she must first have a suitable reason, and then ask the elders in the family for instructions, and only after approval can she come out.

Some families have strict upbringing, and there is a limit to the number of times a woman can go out each month.

But on this day every year, the ladies can travel at will, play together, enjoy the lanterns and riddles, and watch the lion dance and fireworks.

Because of this, this day is also the most anticipated day of the year for young ladies and gentlemen, and it is the only opportunity for them to meet the opposite sex freely.

The sun is cold, the river is freezing, and the river lanterns cannot be placed.

But that doesn't dampen people's enthusiasm for the holiday.

The emperor allocated some silver taels from the treasury, which had been a little empty by his two confessions, and made a 100-foot-high, ten-room wide lantern tower, which was placed in the most prosperous place in Bianjing.

The road near the tower was crowded with people, and the streets were full of vendors selling lanterns, masks, and snacks, and no matter how high the status, people could only walk in the crowd.

Xu Pingyi took Xu Pingqi to the restaurant on time, and when he entered the box, he saw Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu, who had just had dinner.

He took Xu Pingqi to salute Yan Shu and then bowed to Fan Zhongyan, saying, "Brother Xiwen, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

"Da Lang, how are you doing these days? This is Xu Erlang, it is really rare to have such a look at such an age. There was a sincere admiration in the words.

Fan Zhongyan heard Xu Pingqi from Xu Pingyi's mouth, and always knew that Xu Pingqi was a calm and calm child, but when he saw it today, he realized that Xu Pingqi was even calmer than he imagined.

"I've seen Brother Xiwen, thank you for the compliment. ”

Xu Pingqi didn't say much, and after saluting, he stood behind Xu Pingyi's right, and there was no discomfort or embarrassment in his gestures, and he looked downright and generous.

"Erlang just doesn't talk much, but people are smarter than me. Xu Pingyi chattered, Xu Pingqi compared to him as if he never spoke.

"The streets outside are full of people, and the roadside is full of riddles. I just looked at the way here, and found that there are a lot of interesting ones, can you be interested in solving lantern riddles with my uncle and brother Xiwen?"

Xu Pingyi is better than ordinary people because of his good looks. It's exactly the kind of person who is full of scenery in every gesture, and you won't get tired of looking at it.

But he is very peaceful, especially when he is with people he knows, except for some chatter, he always makes people feel as comfortable as a spring breeze.

And that's exactly because of that. Yan Shu and Fan Zhongyan were willing to befriend him.

Otherwise, he is not inspired by his career and has some idle sons, he will not get into the eyes of the two of them.

The person who can get along so well with the two future prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty is probably only Xu Pingyi.

Several people came out of the restaurant, and the light and noise outside quickly drowned them out.

The Xu Pingyi brothers are dressed plainly, and Fan Zhongyan is even more plain, only Yan Shu has an official position and is dressed quite brightly.

However, in such a brightly lit place, even plain clothes will be covered with a faint orange light.

Xu Pingyi yì four-person competition guessing lantern riddles.

The fourth place wrote three lyrics, and the third place wrote two lyrics. The second place will copy the five poems in the book, and the first place will get this booklet.

The four of them began to guess the lantern riddles, and Xu Yu had just met with Hu Ling and Lu Jiuniang.

The place where they met was not elsewhere, it was the Evening Fragrance Building.

Because they were going to come to Wanxianglou, the three of them all wore men's clothes and did not wear the clothes carefully prepared at home.

Lu Jiuniang wore men's clothes for the first time since she was a child, and she was very restrained, and she didn't dare to look directly at others.

As for a place like Wanxianglou, she never thought that she would come in, and when she came in with Hu Ling, her palms were sweating nervously.

Hu Ling said with a smile: "I don't see you like this in the palace." How timid and chick-like now. ”

"Participating in the Keju performance in the palace is a legitimate act, and what I did today, but my father has repeatedly emphasized that my brothers are not allowed to do it. None of my brothers had done it, but I did, and if my father and father knew about it, they would have been disappointed, and I would naturally be nervous. ”

Lu Jiuniang entered the box, and when she saw the furnishings of the box, she found that it was quite orthodox, and her mood relaxed.

"It's fine. If your father investigates, you will say that Liuniang wants you to come, and your sister is worried about her safety so she has to come with you. It's all on her. Hu Ling patted Lu Jiuniang's shoulder irresponsibly and gave her this unreliable Jianyì.

Then he skillfully poured himself a cup of water to drink.

She put the teacup to her lips, and promised to push the door in.

"I have a good ear, and I can hear everything you say clearly. Xu Yu came to Hu Ling's side with a grasping expression, and the evil smile on her face and her wearing men's clothes made her feel a little like a gentleman.

Hu Ling glanced at her, drank the water from the teacup, and poured another one before saying, "It's not that you don't know that I know you're coming, so don't deliberately pretend to be stupid." ”

Xu Promise smiled, turned around with a light tap on his tiptoes, and the lantern in his hand also spun in a circle.

said to Lu Jiuniang: "If your father finds out, you can really put the responsibility on me, my father loves me and won't say anything about me." ”

Without waiting for Lu Jiuniang to answer, Hu Ling on the other side shouted out.

"Where did you get this lamp?" Hu Ling saw the lamp that Xu Yu was carrying, and immediately jumped up from the stool to take it and looked at it, "It's better than the one I made, when did a clumsy person like you who can't even embroider a handkerchief become so ingenious?"

Xu Xu glanced at Hu Ling with a dark face.

Can't you not mention the female workers, the embroidery, and the handkerchief?

Lu Jiuniang had also heard about the promise of a bad female worker, and she seemed a little embarrassed when she looked at the scene, giggled, and explained to Hu Ling: "It's not made by Liuniang, it's a lantern made by the eldest cousin, and I also have one, so I didn't take it out for fear of breaking it." ”

This explanation sounded too much like showing off in Hu Ling's ears, her hand holding the lantern tightened, and she snorted and said, "It's great to have a big brother, it's great to have a big cousin." ”

Today, she was stopped by Xu Yu and Lu Jiuniang and didn't go to smoke the shameless guy of the county lord of Jiaren, and she was still not happy in her heart.

Nowadays, even the lanterns are not as beautiful as others.

"My eldest brother is really good, just amazing. In the singular number of people I have seen, there is no one who can compare with him. Xu Promise praised Xu Pingyi with satisfaction, and snatched his lantern again.

Speaking of good-looking people, Hu Ling naturally felt that she also had a lot of power, and immediately said: "My senior brother is called good-looking, Zhu ...... The shopkeeper Zhu is also good. ”

She originally wanted to call Zhu Shang by his name directly, but when she thought that Lu Jiuniang was also there, she euphemistically called Zhu Shopkeeper. (To be continued.) )

PS: The author made two mistakes yesterday, and I didn't notice the word count when I uploaded the second chapter. This afternoon, I found out that the number of words was less than 2,000 words, and then I realized that I had not been able to attend full time this month, and suddenly I was very worried and very congested, and I felt that it was really hard to stay up until one o'clock in the morning every day for half a month. Fortunately, Watarika comforted me in time, telling me that even if I didn't have full attendance, my sisters read the essays I wrote, and it was worth the effort. Thank you for the comfort, I'm full of energy again. Thank you also for the message of the hallucinatory baby in the book review area, I have read each of your messages carefully. Group~
