The sky gradually darkened, but there was a lot of people outside the Anling Temple.

Xia Ruan stood on a teahouse not far from Anling Temple, and she deliberately chose a private room, where she could see the gate of Anling Temple.

Du Lan had been immersed in eating, and looked at Xia Ruan standing at the window with some curiosity: "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

In fact, Duran didn't understand that Xia Ruan, a person who likes to be quiet, would suddenly choose to stay and watch the Lantern Festival.

And isn't it time to go down there to see the lantern festival? For what Miss ......

However, because Du Ruo had been staring at her, Du Lan didn't dare to say anything.

Xia Ruan's thoughts drifted farther and farther away......

When she saw Cinnabar that year, she was somewhat shocked.

At that time, she basically wanted to get involved in any business, and when someone told her about the silk business, Xia Ruan wanted to do this business at that time, but she never thought that the business would be sent to the door.

In her restaurant, a group of people from the Western Regions came, led by the one with bronzed skin and the appearance of a jade tree facing the wind, so that the people around couldn't help but look at him more. Xia Ruan couldn't help but take a few more glances at that time, after all, the man was good-looking, and everyone would appreciate it for a while. But who knows, the man suddenly smiled at her, and said something she didn't understand.

She looked at the man in some surprise at the time, and the people who followed the man laughed: "Shopkeeper, our young master praises you for your good looks." ”

Xia Ruan just smiled faintly at that time and didn't take it to heart.

Later, she learned about that person. It's the person who makes the southern family of Kyoto a little scared - cinnabar.

Over the years, the merchants of Great Qin have also often done business with people from the Western Regions, and their contacts have become more and more intimate, and the most notable one in this group of merchants is cinnabar. When Xia Ruan saw Cinnabar for the second time, he was a little embarrassed.

Because she never thought that Cinnabar would go to her restaurant to eat.

"Shopkeeper, we'll see you again." After Cinnabar said this, there was a little more smile on her face.

Cinnabar has great benefits for Xia Ruan, but the risk is also very great, and if you are not careful, you may make Xia Ruan's family bankrupt.

At that time, Xia Ruan only frowned when he heard this. And cinnabar said to think about it.

Cinnabar was a little disdainful: "I thought you were a heroine in the middle of the women." I didn't expect it to be the same. ”

It's just that cinnabar's agitation method is not of much use to Xia Ruan, she has come to her current position step by step over the years, and the restaurant is her hard-won achievement, and she doesn't want to be careless at all. and return to the old days.

After returning to the restaurant. Xia Ruan told Liu Changyuan about the cinnabar. At that time, Liu Changyuan told Xia Ruan: "You'd better stay away from Cinnabar, he's not as simple as you think." ”

Xia Ruan didn't pay attention to it when she heard it, but she still went to do business with cinnabar afterwards. She was in dire need of money for her dowry.

On that trip to the Western Regions, she almost died.

Later, he made a lot of money.

After she came back from the Western Regions, Xiao Shaocheng found Xia Ruan, his whole face was cold, and Xia Ruan, who was frightened, stood aside and didn't dare to speak.

"You're too bold, do you know who Cinnabar is?" Xiao Shaocheng sighed helplessly, looked at Xia Ruan and said worriedly, "There is no need to do such business in the future, this person is not something you can touch, and next time you may die somewhere and you won't be able to come back." ”

Xiao Shaocheng's words made Xia Ruan have to bow his head.

Cinnabar was still pestering Xia Ruan to do business at first, but after Li Changfeng and Xiao Shaocheng often went in and out of the restaurant, Cinnabar gradually came less.

Thinking of the past, Xia Ruan felt a little remorseful.

She was just thinking about how to make money and marry Tang Jingxuan, but she stupidly didn't think about why Cinnabar appeared in front of her. Looking at these things now, she feels that cinnabar has a purpose, after all, that trip to the Western Regions......

"Miss, Miss, did you see that? Over there...... Wow......" Du Lan didn't know when he stood beside Xia Ruan, pointed to the right and said, "You see a lot of beautiful lights, when I was a child, my father would always take me and my sister to see the lanterns, and buy us lotus lanterns for us to make a wish." ”

Xia Ruan was startled by Du Lan's words, but quickly calmed down again, she looked at the direction Du Lan was pointing, but it was very lively over there.

Although Dongyang County is a small county, there are many people.

Duran began to tweet to Xia Ruan again about what to see and what to eat at the Lantern Festival, and Xia Ruan was somewhat moved.

"Guess the lantern riddle?" When Xia Ruan heard this, he was obviously interested.

Duran nodded: "Yes, do you see the front, that side may be the place to guess the lantern riddle." Moreover, some beautiful lanterns will not be sold, saying that they will be sold to people who are destined to guess the riddles. ”

Duran said sincerely, but Xia Ruan, who listened, couldn't help laughing.

The so-called destined people are not going to pay money to buy these lanterns.

"Miss, let's go down and have a look, you must not have seen these lanterns, but they look good." Du Lan plucked up his courage and gave Du Ruo a look while encouraging Xia Ruan.

Du Ruo glanced at his sister helplessly, and reprimanded again: "It's not big, it's not small, come here." ”

Duran has been arguing for a day today, and if he had been a young lady from another family, he might have punished Duran a long time ago. But although Xia Ruan didn't like Du Lan's noise, he didn't show a trace of disgust, and Du Ruo saw it in his heart.

She thought that her father's decision was indeed right, and Xia Ruan was a good person.

What Du Ruo was thinking at this time, Xia Ruan didn't know anything about it, she thought about it before saying to Du Lan: "Let's go, let's go and have a look." ”

Duran looked at Xia Ruan happily and nodded.

It's not that Xia Ruan is interested in lanterns, she feels that it's not a way to look at her here, if Cinnabar really comes to Dongyang County, if it is for a purpose, she will definitely come to her. She just needs to wait for the rabbit, so why wait.

At the beginning of the lanterns, outside the Anling Temple at night, the beauty makes people can't take their eyes off.

There was the cries of the vendors around, and the six sons didn't dare to go far, and followed closely behind Xia Ruan.

Because he knows that when there are many people, in fact, many troublesome things will come.

Xia Ruan didn't mind this, she walked towards the place where she guessed the lantern riddle, after all, this was the only place on the lantern that attracted her.

But when she got closer, she saw a strange sight.

Several men were dressed strangely around the man in white in the middle, she stood too far away to see the face of the man in white clearly, but this figure ......

Her heart felt like it had been hit hard by something, and she couldn't help but slowly move closer.

Du Lan thought that Xia Ruan was interested in guessing lantern riddles, and while reading the words on the lantern to Xia Ruan, she looked at Du Ruo with some words she didn't know.

Xia Ruan can guess some of the riddles at the beginning, but because she is always distracted, she is not all right.

After the last moment, Duran couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh my God...... It's ......"

Xia Ruan couldn't help but withdraw his gaze and looked in the direction that Duran was looking at.

The rabbit lantern in front of me attracted a lot of attention.

The workmanship is exquisite, and the color of the lantern is chic, Xia Ruan couldn't help but look at it for a while.

"This lantern riddle is too difficult to guess, boss, you just say it, let's buy it."

Someone in the crowd suggested.

"Yes, yes, boss, you're selling."

It's just that the boss of the lantern shook it: "Everyone, this is the rule, you can't mess with the rules." ”

But this is also the truth, the people around can't help but start to guess again and again, Xia Ruan didn't participate in it, because she knew that she was only a shallow learner, and she would definitely not be able to guess these.

She was about to turn around and continue to look at the man in white just now, but she heard someone say: "This lantern riddle is a word, right?" ”

The young man's voice was as warm as jade, and the people around him couldn't help but look over.

The inky hair looked like it was plated with a faint layer of gold under the lamplight, the angular face was like the most beautiful jade in the world, and the man's eyes were covered with white silk, but it didn't make people feel that he was a little less handsome, but a little more mysterious.

This person is very similar to cinnabar, but Xia Ruan knows that this is not cinnabar.

"This son, it's really amazing, this lamp is old and rotten to you." The boss took down the lantern and handed it over slowly.

At this time, someone couldn't help but say: "What kind of lamp do blind people look at, boss, you are a waste, and you give ...... for nothing"

There are more and more unwilling people around, but the young man seems to be in danger.

"Although the eyes are blind below, the heart is not blind." The young man said slowly, "It's just that you say that you are a blind man, but you are not blind but you can't guess these riddles, it seems that it is better to be blind under this blind man." ”

His words blocked the people who spoke red-faced, and this was also the truth.

The young man instructed the people around him to hand the silver to the boss: "Chunyu Xiaoxiao's wife sleeps alone, boss, you accept this silver, although this lantern riddle is good, you also have to support your family." ”

As soon as the young man made a move, he was a hundred taels of silver, and although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to say more than half a word, after all, no one could be more generous than the young man.

Xia Ruan didn't plan to continue watching, turned around and planned to leave.

She was still a little worried about cinnabar in her heart, if cinnabar appeared and she didn't see it, then she would still have some regrets in her heart.

"Miss." The young man called Xia Ruan, "Miss Xia San, please wait." ”

After Xia Ruan heard this, she couldn't help but stop, slightly stunned, she turned to look at the young man: "Who are you?" ”

"It doesn't matter who you are, but I'll meet with the third lady next day." The young man smiled, revealing a shallow dimple, "This lamp is a greeting gift." ”

After the young man handed it over, Duran helped Xia Ruan take it without thinking about it.

Xia Ruan's brows frowned slightly, who is this person?

She was just about to speak, when she heard someone shouting: "Oh no, no, look over there, there is a fire in the northern suburbs......"

Xia Ruan looked to the north and saw that the firelight was very conspicuous in the night, although it was a little far away, he could still feel the fierceness of the fire over there. (To be continued......)

PS: Guess who this person is! I guess I'm the only one who knows about it, right? Ha Lu Ha!!

Three more send, dear ones!
