However, around lunch, the second daughter made a fuss about the queen's birthday in the capital. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The whole city is talking about it, and it also makes the festival of lights in the evening even more lively.
Su Shifeng rarely changed into new clothes and went out with his wife and children.
Shi Jin and they stepped out of the door late, and tonight Shi Jin had changed into an ordinary person's winter clothes and took Bai Er'er to see the excitement.
The sky was not yet completely dark, and the moon was not very real hidden in the clouds, but it was warmer than the day.
There are people coming and going on the street, colorful lanterns are hung on the street, and there are fireworks in the sky from time to time, and the two little maids who are watching are stunned.
"Male, Miss, Kanguan wants to be with you, why do you say that you have an appointment with the prince?" Bai'er was puzzled, the prince obviously didn't say anything at all.
"Guan'er hasn't seen her father for a few years, and the family definitely wants to reunite, so why let Guan'er be patient to accompany me?" Shi Jin smiled slightly.
Mrs. Su wanted to please her, or befriend her, and when her marriage was over, she would not bear to let them go, and if she pleaded with the imperial brother again, they might stay forever.
But she is four years apart from Kankan, how can she talk about it in particular? And for them, they did not hesitate to disobey the royal brother?
The purpose of letting Kawanan go back is to show that what the imperial brother means is what she means. Perhaps then they will be able to hold their hearts and understand their responsibilities as courtiers.
The three of them walked and watched, and the things from the street vendors were more and more novel than the other.
What sugar gourd, sugar man, black pear paste, spiced wonton, glutinous soft and sweet rice balls, the cutest is Chang'e's rabbit.
Fortunately, Shi Jin asked Bai'er to bring two hangs of money and some broken silver, and tasted everything that could be eaten, and bought a willow basket to take away if he couldn't eat.
Bai'er and Yu'er couldn't stop laughing.
"Miss, I heard that there is a maze of riddle lanterns in West Street, should we go and take a look?" Bai'er said with a smile, winking at Yu'er secretly.
Yu'er immediately nodded vigorously, and Shi Jin reluctantly agreed.
I didn't want to go, but now I have to meet it.
When I arrived at the West Street, the lantern maze was set up in a large open space, and the lights illuminated a street brilliantly, and this lantern was made by the Hexi Liu family at a glance, which was different, and all were exquisite and beautiful.
Before they could get closer, a man who seemed to be in charge came over with a smile.
"Miss, but you want to challenge our lantern maze?"
"Could it be that there are still lottery heads?" Bo'er grinned.
"Of course, this is our Mrs. Liu personally purchased, the riddles are all made by Mrs. Liu's family personally, including the lantern riddles of Liu Ruolan, who is known as the talented daughter of Tanglin, the more riddles you guess correctly, the longer you will go, and the richer the prizes you get!"
The steward's eyebrows fluttered, and finally he said a person, a tael of silver.
Bai'er, although Ji'er can speak Tanglin, but she doesn't recognize much Tanglin characters, so she doesn't go in, but begs Shi Jin to go in and take more gifts out.
Shi Jin couldn't, so he had to walk in with a lantern like a pass.
It turns out that the maze is just a road made of red railings more than half a person high, and there will be a child at each corner, and if you guess any of the riddles on the road, the child will point you in the right direction.
There are many and simple lanterns on the periphery, and the further you go inside, the fewer lights there are, the more difficult it is to enigrate.
When you walk in it, you can also see the hem of the clothes of the same guesser, coming and going, plus the dazzling lanterns, if there is no child to guide the way, you will enter a dead end, where there will be servants wearing different colors of clothes to lead people out, and the steward will give corresponding gifts according to the color of the servants' clothes.
When they arrived in the middle of the enclosure, many guessers were blown out of their lanterns and taken out, and there were only 12 out of 10 people in the inner enclosure.
A person like Shi Jin, who is good at guessing people's hearts, is naturally easy to guess a few riddles, and it is unimpeded all the way.
Liu Ruolan, the first talented woman in Tanglin, has never been married, but looking at her riddle, there is a hidden meaning of longing.
"Snow satin is sadly wrapped around red beans, hit a thing." Shi Jin picked up a paper tape and read softly.
"Tangyuan." A male voice came out from the side.
Shi Jin smiled bitterly, but he still couldn't hide from what he should have come.
"Gongzi Wei is also here!" Shi Jin replied softly.
"I actually met Miss?" After asking Wei Hai, he felt that he was asking so stupidly, thinking about his name as a merry and talented man, there are many people in this capital who know it regularly.
However, the woman in front of him didn't seem to have any affection for him, and although she smiled, she always felt a faint alienation.
"Yes, the noble Wei Gongzi is so forgetful, thank you Gongzi for solving the riddle, the little girl has left." Shi Jin bowed his head and said goodbye, turned to leave.
How forgetful are the nobles? Wei Hai smiled, such a special woman, I think he won't forget it, right?
Forget it, meeting is fate!
Wei Hai shook his fan and walked to the other side.
Bai Er'er waited outside the labyrinth for about a pillar of incense before Shi Jin came out, followed by a servant in purple clothes.
The steward took a look at it and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
"I didn't expect that Miss was also a talented girl, and it only took a pillar of incense to come out. I don't know if Miss can leave the name of your house, but our Miss Liu likes to make talented people in her life. ”
The steward must also know that although Shi Jin is dressed ordinarily, she is not an ordinary woman.
"The steward laughed, just a few riddles, the guess is interesting, not talented, how dare you cling to Miss Liu." Shi Jin handed back the lantern in his hand, this lantern was small and chic, exquisite, but it was a good lamp.
"The steward quickly take the gift out, it's not a good thing, our lady won't accept it!" Bai'er knew that the steward was inquiring about the identity of the princess, and immediately diverted the topic.
Seeing this, the steward didn't ask any more questions, smiled and took out a nanmu box from the wooden cabinet on the side, and handed it to Bai'er.
"Jade plum hairpin." Bai'er opened it and took a look, and then she had seen a lot, and the color of this red jade was not the best, but it was better than the exquisite workmanship.
"It turns out that the girl came out early, Wei admires it." Wei Hai also came out and greeted him with a smile.
also received a jade plum hairpin, and said, "What is the use of me?" "I gave it to Shi Jin.
It happened that one of the two little maids got one, and they were so happy that they immediately put it on their heads.
Just as he was about to say goodbye, there was a sudden riot not far ahead, and the crowd suddenly screamed and scattered.
The incident happened so suddenly, almost instantly, several people were dispersed by the panicked crowd.
"Miss, Miss!" Bai'er threw the basket, and Yu'er grabbed Bai'er and slowly retreated to the side of the road.
"What are you doing? I'm going to find the princess, don't mess with you! Bai'er wanted to shake off her hand, the princess was her dearest, if the princess didn't appreciate it, maybe she would still be a little girl in the troupe who was bullied.
Of course, Yu'er, who has only been here for less than a month, will not know how good the princess is, and a dumb person can't help much, and she has to stop her.
Unexpectedly, Ju'er's strength was so great that Bai'er couldn't break free.
Yu'er grabbed her with her left hand, put her right hand on her head, made an ear shape, and stared at her eagerly.
"What are you talking about...... Alang! Bai'er suddenly realized, "Why did you forget it?" Let's go home, let's go home! "Bo'er is going to go all the way back to the side of the road, so that the minister's mansion is only two streets away.
Unexpectedly, Yu'er still pulled her still, and quietly pointed to the Liu family's steward not far away.
Bo'er saw that the steward and the servant were leaning against the back of the cabinet, and from time to time they looked at the two of them, wanting to follow us!
Bai'er nodded, jumped into the vast sea of people with Yu'er, and disappeared from the sight of the steward in an instant.
