Lan Xin and a few people came downstairs to meet Fang Ning, and several girls held hands and happily went to see the lights together. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

There was an endless stream of people watching the lanterns, and the two brothers Rong Jing and the Zhou family surrounded Lan Xin and the others in the middle so as not to be squeezed in.

The doors of each shop are hung with all kinds of lights, including lifelike goldfish lanterns, vivid lotus lanterns, and exquisite palace lanterns······ All kinds of lanterns are beautifully shaped, elegantly decorated, and finely made, which is really dazzling and beautiful.

At the door of each shop, the front of the stall was crowded with people, some people answered a few riddles in a row, and took away their favorite lanterns with satisfaction, while some people shook their heads in frustration, reluctantly glanced at the lanterns they couldn't get, and ran to the next place.

Fang Ning also pulled Lan Xin over to have fun, and when she saw the lantern she liked, she looked at the lantern riddle below. Along the way, Xiaoli and Xiaojing each had three or four lanterns in their hands.

Lan Xin also deliberately chose a pink goldfish-shaped lantern for Rong Zhu and a lotus lantern for Yuxue. Coupled with guessing the lantern riddle to win, the hands of Lumei and Ziyi are also full.

Rong Zhen's harvest is not small. There is only Evian, and there is no interest along the way, and no lantern can be seen. Lan Xin was very helpless about her like this, she knew where her mind was, but she couldn't say it, she couldn't be annoyed, and she felt a little more depressed.

Gradually, he didn't have the heart to guess the riddles, and it was not good to snub Fang Ning, so he cheered up and wanted to eat.

"Brother Rong is gone. A few people were about to walk towards the food stall when Evian suddenly shouted.

"Oh, don't worry, everyone, he'll be up in a moment. Zhou Wentao said with a smile, and after speaking, he glanced at Lan Xin with complicated eyes. glanced at the lantern he had carefully selected in Ziyi's hand, and felt sour in her heart, when Rong Jing came back, she wouldn't see this lantern, right?!

It didn't take long for Rong Jing to return, carrying two lanterns in his hands, his face was unconcealed excitement, and his eyes were frighteningly bright. Staring at Lan Xin tightly, the sky was dark, and no one saw the tips of his reddened ears.

Lan Xin only felt that his face was hot, nervously stirring the handkerchief in his hand, his body was a little stiff, and he could only blink and stare at Rong Jing who was walking towards him step by step.

Rong Jing handed one of the lanterns to her hand, and there was a slight nervousness in her gentle voice, "I picked it myself, I don't know if you like it or not?"

Lan Xin took the lantern in surprise, nodded carelessly, and pulled Fang Ning next to him and walked towards the nearby food stall.

"Why did you buy two lanterns in the shape of ducks?" asked Evian, frowning.

"Hehe!" Rong Zhen covered her mouth and laughed, and explained to Evian in a low voice, "That's not a duck, it's a mandarin duck!"

Evian's face sank with a "swish", how to look at the pair of lanterns how unpleasant, I couldn't tell where the discomfort in my heart came from, I could only use it to stir the handkerchief to vent this resentment.

There was no light in the study, and the bright moonlight shone in through the window.

Lu Sheng sat on the circle chair behind the bookcase, his elbows resting on the back of the chair, and his eyes saw through the rays of light, more than ten years ago.

Lu Sheng's father died early, and his mother raised him with hard work. Lu's mother was a wise woman, and when Lu Sheng became an adult, she asked him to go out to study. At that time, Lu Sheng was very respected in the clan and was a little arrogant.

When he traveled to Huzhou, he was accidentally stolen by a pickpocket, and he was very angry when he was penniless, but in order to make a living, he had to make a living by selling calligraphy and paintings.

One day, a woman with a maid followed her family to the stall to buy a unicorn picture. Lu Sheng looked at the woman's dress and pomp, and immediately recognized that this woman was the wife of the official eunuch. He was angry about the loss of his wallet, thinking that it was the incompetence of Huzhou officials, so he vented all his frustration on the painting. Instead of drawing a unicorn, he drew a picture of a withered plum blossom.

When the lady got the painting, she was furious. She was going to buy a unicorn picture to please a good omen and win a man in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, he gave her a picture of plum blossoms, and it withered! What does he mean by this, is he cursing himself for having no children for the rest of his life? ! She slammed the painting to the ground, looked at Lu Sheng with gloomy eyes, and coldly ordered: "Give me a beat!"

At the sound of an order, the family behind suddenly surrounded him, and he couldn't help but say that he would fight with his hands.

Lu Qiu immediately pounced on Lu Sheng's body, and while protecting him, he shouted: "Stop fighting, stop fighting······!

"Drag him away!" the woman pointed at Lu Qiu and then at Lu Sheng and said, "Break his hand and let him never think about painting for the rest of his life." ”

Lu Sheng's calm and stubborn eyes finally panicked, he stared at the woman in front of him in disbelief, how could she ······ How can it be so cruel. No, he can't do without this hand! If the hand is broken, his spring, his career, his future······ He didn't dare to think about it.

Lu Qiu was dragged away in two strokes, a family member held down Lu Sheng, and a family member grabbed his hand······

"Young master, young master, let go of our young master!" Lu Qiu shouted while struggling, but he was weak and couldn't break the family's clamp at all.

Lu Sheng was stunned, at the mercy of others like a puppet. In front of him, he saw his silver-haired mother sitting at the loom, busy for her meager income. Suddenly, his mother turned to look at him, her eyes full of disappointment. He regretted it, he shouldn't have ruined his future and lived up to his mother's expectations. But the arrogance in his bones made him unable to say the words begging for mercy. can only watch this hand be destroyed, he is unwilling, unwilling!

"Wait!" Just as the stick was about to fall, a crisp voice sounded.

"Who are you to meddle in, do you know who I am?" the woman squinted at the visitor, and scolded unkindly.

"I've seen Mrs. Sue. The man who came saluted the woman without humility or arrogance. The woman's pupils shrank, she actually knew her identity, so she dared to come over, it seemed that there was some reason. The woman looked at the visitor quietly, waiting for her to continue. The person who came continued: "The slave maid Yuliu is the person next to Mrs. Yu. ”

"But the Yu family in Qingliu Lane in Huzhou City?" The woman chuckled in her heart, feeling unlucky in her heart, it was really unfavorable to go out, and she actually met the Yu family. That Yu family didn't even dare to offend the prefect's wife, let alone her, the second lady?

Yuliu replied with a smile: "It is the Yu family in Qingliu Lane." ”
