The other mother-in-law held up the lamp and shone it on Pan Zi's face, and said happily: "But the eldest sister Pan Zi in the second lady's house?" Seeing Pan Zi followed by a girl with her head down, dressed ordinarily and looking timid, she thought it was a little girl who was following the errands, and she didn't pay attention.

Pan Zizao smiled: "It's not me!" This mom has such good eyesight that she recognized me! Under this big festival, mothers are not allowed to watch the lights to play, and they are also on duty at night, which is really hard. These are the fruits that our wives buy for our mothers to eat. As he spoke, he shoved two pieces of broken silver into the hands of the two mothers-in-law.

A mother-in-law smiled and said: "We all went to see it last night, we should be on duty tonight, and it is not hard to keep the masters safe." It was rare for the second lady and the eldest sister to be sympathetic, and they also rewarded silver. The eldest sister has something to leave the house? ”

Pan Zi said: "Madame suddenly wanted to eat the jujube paste yam cake from Daoxiangyuan, so she sent me to buy it." Mothers can make it convenient and will be back in a while. ”

The mother-in-law smiled and moved out of the way, and instructed while opening the door: "Then the eldest sister will go, don't be in a hurry to go back, the ban will be lifted tonight, and this corner door will not be keyed all night." ”

Pan Zi thanked the two mothers-in-law again, and then went out with Weihuan.

As soon as I came out, the door closed behind me. When I left the house, it was as if I had turned off the lights in the courtyard in another world, and although the moon was shining brightly overhead, the back street became much darker.

After walking more than a dozen steps away, Pan Zicai whispered: "Turn out from this back street, and you will arrive at the street, there are many rental scooters on the side of the street, let's rent one and change clothes inside." ”

As soon as Wei Wan went out, she looked around, and saw two figures in the distance hurrying in front of her, thinking that it was probably Biyun and Cha Xiang, so she pulled Pan Zi to follow.

Turn out from the back street in the backyard of the Guogong Mansion, and it is indeed the avenue. In the transparent and dark night, the avenue stretches into the distance like a faint black ribbon.

There are not many pedestrians, sparsely scattered, but there are also endless tracks, all with lanterns, which is very inconsistent with the legendary lively pomp. From time to time, there is a small donkey cart with a small lantern hanging on the front of the car passing by, and the curtain is lowered by the passengers, and the curtains are empty cars waiting for customers.

Biyun and Cha Xiang, who were walking in front, beckoned a simple little donkey cart to go up.

Pan Zi hurriedly beckoned another one to go up.

The one who drove the car was a man with a round face, short eyebrows, brown clothes, no hat, and hair, and asked with a smile: "Where are the two ladies going?" ”

Although Pan Zi didn't know why, she knew from Weihuan's actions that she was going to follow the two people in front of her, so she lifted the curtain, pointed to the car on Biyun and Chaxiang, and said, "Follow that car." If you don't follow well, beware of the girl smashing your little broken car! ”

The man said with a smile while driving the donkey: "This little lady is so handsome, why is she so fierce?" I'll just follow along. Don't be afraid to smash a small car. It's not that I'm afraid that my broken car will make a mistake, it's not good to hurt the hand of the little lady who is like a flower. ”

Pan Zi couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "Flim tongue!" Catch your car with peace of mind. ”

Put down the curtain of the car and whispered: "Madame......" Seeing that Weiwan took off the maid's clothes, revealing the men's clothes she was wearing inside, she hurriedly changed her words, "Don't worry, you won't lose it." As he spoke, he also took off his outer clothes, revealing the clothes of the little maid inside.

The master and servant looked at each other. Pan Zi saw that Weiwan was wearing a round-necked, narrow-sleeved, green hakama robe, a dark leather belt of the same color tied around her waist, wings of the same color, beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, red lips and white teeth, and she was a handsome young man.

Pan Zi is a cyan straight shirt, dressed as a little guy with a black scarf on his head, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes are very energetic. The two looked at each other and smiled, both feeling excited and happy.

The man who was driving the car suddenly said: "Tai'an Street is almost here, the two ladies can't help but open the car curtain to see, the street scene is very beautiful." ”

Pan Zi opened the curtain, and both of them stretched out their heads to look out, but saw that the front was still dark, and the occasional moving light was a lantern played by passers-by.

Just about to ask the owner of the car, suddenly saw not far ahead, a light came out, as the donkey cart gradually approached, just turned the corner, as if suddenly into a large ball of light, Wei Wan and Pan Zi felt that there was light in front of them......

I heard the car boss say happily: "Little lady, Tai'an Street has arrived." The two young men in the car in front of them also just got out of the car. ”

When Wei Wan heard this, she hurriedly got out of the car, Pan Zi threw a tael of silver to the car owner, and also got out of the car and caught up with Wei Wan.

The car boss received the silver and looked at it again and again, and after confirming that it was true, he carefully put it in his arms, and then remembered a strange thing: the two little ladies who got into the car were obviously two little ladies who were like flowers and jade, how did they become handsome offspring when they got off the car?

It was the first time for Weihuan to see such a prosperous and lively scene.

Tai'an Street is the most prosperous street in Beijing, with hotels, teahouses, and various shops lining both sides of the street. At this time, all kinds of lanterns hung under the eaves of the upper floors of the house, and as the street went, rows of lanterns snaked and brilliant into the distance, like a dragon of light writhing and flying in front.

There are beautiful courtesans and orchids dressed in exotic clothes, sitting on the upper floor of a tea shop and teasing at passers-by, or throwing winks, which often attracts laughter from the people downstairs...... As far as the eye can see, there are all black pressed human heads. Most of them wore masks on their heads, and those who did not wear masks showed a leisurely and happy smile; There are also those who ride tall horses and sit on carved chariots, but they are all visitors from afar; The downstairs is full of stalls for all kinds of food and goods; Vendors wear masks and laugh as they happily haggle with customers who come to buy something; The sound of gongs, drums and silk and bamboo can be heard in the distance, presumably where the floats process......

Weiwan has something in her heart, where is she in the mood to take a closer look, only staring at the blue clouds and tea fragrance in front of her, and she doesn't dare to make a mistake in her eyes. However, there are too many people, and in just a blink of an eye, the blue clouds and the fragrance of tea are gone.

Wei Wan said urgently: "I can't go far, look for it quickly." Pulling Pan Zi to drill in the crowd.

But people are as dense as weaving, where to find it!

Just when they were in a daze, they suddenly heard a woman's voice scolding not far away: "Bold fanatics, in the imperial city, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, dare to be so rude!" The cold tone was clearly Biyun.

Another oily voice giggled and said, "Little lady, what's the use of saying this? Follow me to ensure your glory and wealth, eat fragrant and drink spicy, do you know who I am? My dad is Lin Tongzhi......"

Listen to the sound not far away. Pan Zi and Wei Wan hurriedly walked over there. The people who were playing also heard the discordant sound in the bustle of the flowers, and they all gathered over there, and there were voices of discussion: "The son of the Lin Mansion is going to rob people", "It's this evil disciple again", "I don't know whose woman is going to suffer again"......

Pan Zi relied on his strong body, squeezed through the rows of people, and opened the way in front, but Wan followed, and finally got through the crowd and stood at the front, and saw two people dressed as small servants surrounded by five or six men, the hats of the two little ones were gone, and the black hair fell down and fell in front of the pale and pretty face. The hat was held in the hands of two fanatics. It was Cha Xiang who stood timidly in front of him, glaring angrily at the fanatic, and it was Biyun who reprimanded loudly.
