Chapter 40 Sending Lanterns

She followed the man into the alley, and the man's footsteps were fast and slow, and after falling some distance from her, he quietly slowed down again, and after a cup of tea, the man finally stopped. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

She was a foot away from him, waiting for the man to turn around.

"What are you doing with me?" The voice of the speaker was deliberately low, appearing hoarse and heavy.

"And what do you see me doing?" She suddenly became interested.

The man paused, his face flushed and indistinguishable in the night, and muttered in a low voice, "How can I look at you, I look at lanterns." ā€

She didn't argue, and then asked, "Then what do you do with the lanterns?" ā€

The man raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and said angrily, "What do you look at if you don't look at the lanterns during the Lantern Festival?" Besides, the lantern is still made by me, let me take a look at who is destined for it? ā€

She was stunned, "You made the lantern?" ā€

"What, can't you?" The man asked rhetorically, and walked out of the shadows directly, standing in front of her, wasn't it Zhou Wu who disappeared inexplicably a while ago?

She was a little stunned, her face was obscure, "How did you do this?" ā€

She thought that the lamp was the one in her dormitory, but it seemed to be just a coincidence, so where was the lamp in her dormitory?

Zhou Wu didn't think so, "I've seen that appearance occasionally, and I made one on a whim, is it good-looking?" ā€

"Have you ever seen that?" She looked up suddenly, the appearance of the palace lamp was handed over to the craftsman by the mold drawn by the man, and there were only three people who handled it, where did he see it?

The night was blurry, and he couldn't notice the face on her face, but said, "I just saw it by chance a few years ago." ā€

After that, he complained, "What are you doing standing there stupidly?" I don't know how to guess the lantern riddle, the lantern riddle is very simple, if you are faster, make sure you are the first to guess, the octagonal palace lamp is yours. ā€

She wanted to laugh a little, but felt that it was wrong, so she deliberately darkened her face, "I'm a man, how can I like lanterns?" ā€

Zhou Wu stretched out his hand and knocked her on the head, "Who said that men can't like lanterns, don't you see that Ah Zhao has several in his arms?" ā€

She exhaled pain in her mouth, and retorted, "Ah Zhao is still young. ā€

"It's like you're a lot older than him." It's just two years older.

She pursed her lips, thought of something, and looked up and said, "You have been following us?" ā€

"Don't be sentimental, just happen to see it." Zhou Wu argued and handed her the object in his hand, "Take it." ā€

She was puzzled, but she still took it, and when Zhou Wu hit the spark with flint and lit up the object in her hand, she saw that it was an octagonal palace lamp, but it was very different from Fang Cai's lantern, and the lantern in her hand was very fine.

"What is this?" She was slightly confused.

"Flower lantern, the one just now when I practice, a good luck, this is the finished product, give it to you." Zhou Wu glanced at her and then said.

The bright light from the lantern was reflected on Zhou Wu's face, which was more or less soft, and it was much different from the pale complexion of the past, and it seemed that these days were not bad.

Without waiting for her to speak, Zhou Wu asked again, "I asked you to teach Ah Zhao, how do you feel?" If it doesn't work, I'll find someone else. ā€

Speaking of these, her doubts about Zhou Wu's identity flooded into her heart, but at this time, she was just a person who had just arrived in Changle Mansion from other places, how could she recognize the third prince of Zhongyi Mansion?

"Yes, where did you get that?" She seemed to be chatting.

Zhou Wu laughed twice, very proud, "It's just a poor scholar, it's easy to find." ā€

She paused slightly, if Fan Li heard Zhou Wu describe him as a poor scholar, would he throw his brocade robe and valuable ornaments on Zhou Wu's face.

Thinking of this, she smiled dryly, "You're so lucky, why can't I touch it?" ā€

Zhou Wu did not doubt it, "This is the blessing I accumulated in my previous life, how can I be easily touched by you?" ā€

Her tone suddenly deepened, "It's not as good as you." ā€

Zhou Wu wanted to say something, but she intercepted him, "Where have you been accumulating blessings these days?" ā€

Zhou Wu was stunned, knowing that she wanted to ask him where he had gone and what he had done, he had thought of a variety of reasons before he came, and he didn't want to lie to her when he left, and he didn't want to at this time.

There was silence for a moment, and then he said, "I haven't told you about me, I'm not alone, my parents and brothers are also in Changle Mansion, but I'm tired of being disciplined by them, so I moved out alone." ā€

"I just went home and didn't do anything."

For a long time, Zhou Wu didn't have anything else to say, Xu was this question that made him lose all his interest, and he said, "It's late, I'll send you back!" ā€

"No, I can go back myself." She felt strange in her heart, and she didn't want to delve into it.

Zhou Wu smiled dumbly, "You almost fell a few times when you came with me, if it weren't for the lanes I chose were easy to walk, you would definitely have to roll on the ground a few times today." ā€

Zhou Wu still knew a little about her eyes not being able to see at night, so he insisted on sending her back.

Indeed, she no longer shirked, and followed Zhou Wu in the direction of Yangqiao Lane.

A few days after the Lantern Festival, it has been spring, Hengtong Rice Shop has been opened a few days ago, and Yao's Tea Shop will also be opened.

Everything is the same as before in the tea shop, and even Steward Yao is the same as before, too lazy to discipline her.

She went to the account room as usual, and Zhang Sheng was still in the account room early.

She took out the broken silver from her arms, put it in front of Zhang Sheng, and said insistently, "I said I didn't want it." ā€

Zhang Sheng raised his head and silently put the broken silver into his arms, and the purse he had seen before did not even reveal a corner, probably because he was afraid that she would rob it.

She sat silently on the side, just watching Zhang Sheng crackling and calculating on the side, she didn't understand, this has just opened the door, and the spring tea has not yet been served, where are there so many account books that need to be checked?

After a long time, Zhang Shengcai silently raised his head, "Why are you still here?" ā€

She stood up and said angrily, "Look at when you are going to talk to me, did I make you angry last time?" ā€

Zhang Sheng paused, she didn't expect her to come directly to such a sentence, although she didn't hear much that day, but she could always know that he was not an ordinary bookkeeper, why would he get along with him as before?

Is it ignorance and fearlessness, or is there really a plan?

He suddenly became a little irritated, "No. ā€

When she heard this, she walked up to him with an arrow and grinned, "Really? ā€

After speaking, he became discouraged again, "Last time it was me who was wrong, I broke into the tea shop by mistake and heard something I shouldn't have heard, but no matter who you are, you take the most care of me, and I don't want you to alienate me because of this." ā€

She said it so straightforwardly, but Zhang Sheng's repeated speculation in his heart seemed too trivial, and after a long time, she said, "I won't come again in the future." ā€

She was stunned, "What's wrong?" ā€

Zhang Sheng shook his head and said that, "There is something else to do." ā€

She bowed her head slightly and said helplessly, "Okay! ā€

Suddenly, he looked up and asked, "Why are you so good to me?" ā€

Zhang Sheng was slightly stunned, and said sadly for a long time, "I used to have a younger brother as big as you, but he died." ā€
