(074), embarrassment

After listening to Xingfeng's words, Mo Ye also remembered. That day, she and Xing Feng were having a snowball fight in the courtyard, and the master suddenly came back and quickly drew his sword to cut the snow when he was about to be hit by a snowball.

After listening to Xingfeng's narration, Yan Xingzhi only felt that it was difficult to feel the 'surprise' emphasized in Xingfeng's words. Mo Ye recalled that memory, but he didn't feel anything.

Seeing the unconscious expressions on the faces of the two, Xing Feng smiled a little reluctantly and said, "I'm really clumsy." ā€

Mo Ye shook his head lightly, and after pondering for a while, he said to Yan Xingzhi: "Maybe you need to be there to feel like this!" Although I was there at the time, I didn't have the same feeling as Brother Xing, probably because I had been guided by Master for a long time and was used to it. You may be able to try to travel and experience the life of strangers in a familiar environment, and you may be able to gain something different. ā€

Finding that Yan Xingzhi's eyes gradually revealed a sense of novelty, Mo Ye hurriedly added with a smile: "These experiences are all written by those in the many idler's travelogues that I usually read. Actually, I don't fully understand the meaning, just an excuse, haha. ā€

Yan Xingzhi smiled and said gently: "Maybe it's really like you, I'll go back and ask about my father's travels." ā€

When the three of them talked about this, they heard a sound of "huh-" from the sky, and they saw a red flame rushing straight towards Xiao Han. On the night of the Lantern Festival when the bright moon hung in the sky, the light of the fireworks may not seem a little bright, but among the crowd looking up on the ground, there were many people cheering.

The fireworks that represent the beginning of the lantern festival were set off. On the high platform built during the day on Taoliu Street, a giant lantern, pulled by ropes, also began to slowly cross the lanterns on the two floors below, and rose to the top of the triangular frame, illuminating the people and things within a radius around the high platform. With the head of the lamp hanging in the air, the lampstand is finally completely erected, and the third stage of the lantern riddle is about to be opened.

The winner of this year's Lantern Festival is an auspicious New Year beast made of pure gold, which is wholly owned by a local banker, which has really added a lot of popularity to this year's Lantern Festival. However, the third-order lighting fundraising is also one of the few treasures in the past five years, and it is the 'Double Sparrow Club Red Shawl' offered by local merchants.

There is no clear estimate of this embroidery, but according to the description of the organizer of the lantern festival who has seen this thing, this red cloak embroidery technique is special, because of the ingenious coordination of the threading steps, the double finch picture on the red cloak will change with the change of light, like a living thing waving its wings and flying after each other, which is very special.

However, regardless of whether the rumors are exaggerated or not, such a red cloak must be the red dress that many young women most hope that their crush will win tonight with poetry and put on for themselves.

The third order of lantern riddles was opened, and the crowd around the high platform became more and more wide, and most of them were young people in pairs.

Mo Ye and his entourage also approached the high platform, but before they reached the bottom of the high platform, the three of them suddenly slowed down their steps with strange expressions.

Yan Xingzhi didn't know that Mo Yeshi was his daughter, so he felt that it seemed a little strange for three men to join in the fun. And Xing Feng knew that Mo Ye was a woman dressed as a man, and when he thought of the selfishness of men and women, his expression naturally became strange. Mo Ye is actually the one who feels the most embarrassed, a girl and two boys to guess the lantern riddle that was set up to cater to couples at the beginning, what is this called!

The embarrassed person would inevitably look around to divert his attention, and at this moment, Xing Feng suddenly pointed to the second floor of a winery close to the high platform and shouted: "Mo Ye, look." ā€

The sound of the torture wind quickly disappeared from the crowd, but it was very clear between the three of them. Hearing this, Mo Ye looked in the direction that Xing Feng was pointing, and immediately whispered, "Hey, it's Master." ā€

Yan Xingzhi also looked in the direction that Xing Feng was pointing. He had never seen Lin Shan, so in his eyes, he only saw that the viewing windows of the winery were all open, and the room was brightly lit, and the lights in the nearby place were reflected, and the wine inside was all red, and he could no longer tell whether it was the wine or the light. The second floor of the winery was full of guests, but he didn't know the gentleman that Xing Feng mentioned in front of him many times on weekdays.

"Why don't we go to the restaurant across the street from that winery?" Yan Xingzhi suddenly mentioned yƬ said.

Seeing Mo Ye and Xing Feng looking at him wordlessly, he suddenly felt a little unnatural, and hurriedly added: "There will be so many people participating in the lantern tonight, it is estimated that we will no longer have our share in guessing the lantern riddle, not to mention that there are quite a lot of people reading in this county." Why don't we take advantage of everyone to participate in the meeting, look for an opportunity to find a good position, watch them guess the lantern riddles, compete for the lottery, and also sit and have fun. ā€

Yan Xingzhi's words were orderly, and the other two had no objections. It's just that when he came to the position he chose, Mo Ye subconsciously took a step back, pulled Yan Xingzhi's sleeve and said, "Still no, it's too expensive here." ā€

Yan Xingzhi didn't say anything, only grabbed Mo Ye's hand through his sleeve with his backhand, and pulled him into the lobby of the restaurant in front of him. Mo Ye was stunned for a moment, and he had already come to the counter in the lobby.

Under the slightly strange gaze of the shopkeeper, Yan Xingzhi generously took the booklet on the counter, turned two pages and said to the shopkeeper: "East, between the words C, trouble the shopkeeper." ā€

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, and then he said with a pleasant face but obvious meaning: "I'm sorry, this son, today is the Lantern Festival, at this time it is the beginning of the Lantern Festival, and the small shop is close to this, can you ask the son to pay the deposit first?" ā€

Yan Xingzhi had already taken out the money bag from his arms, and said with a smile while opening it: "It's okay." Xiaosheng met a few friends today, and he must have to go back to the east, but the money that Xiaosheng brought today was only enough to pay the deposit for the C-shaped room. I have disturbed the business of your store, and I ask the shopkeeper to forgive me. ā€

The shopkeeper took a silver ticket handed out by Yan Xingzhi, and when he saw the seal on the end of the ticket, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said in a harmonious voice: "It turned out to be the son of the Yan family, and he was presumptuous in speaking out just now." ā€

Yan Xingzhi put away the money bag, then reached out and took a Xiaohao on the counter, and said: "Business is not a favor, but Xiaosheng met a friend unexpectedly today, and he didn't have time to prepare more, so he could only temporarily pay for credit." My friend wanted to go upstairs to watch the lights quickly, and bothered the shopkeeper to get the ledger. ā€

"Okay." The shopkeeper hurriedly bowed down and took out an account book, put it on the counter, opened a few pages, and then pushed it out to Yan Xingzhi. Yan Xingzhi understood, swept his eyes and wrote a few words on it, and then the shopkeeper put the account book back with a smile, and then beckoned one of the little second leaders Yan Xing and the pedestrian to go upstairs.

Listening to the greeting of the shopkeeper downstairs, Xiao Er, who led the way, and the greeting of a free melon seed pastry, stayed in the room, and as soon as he closed the door, Mo Ye couldn't help but ask Yan Xingzhi: "Brother, how much is the deposit for this C-shaped room?" ā€

Yan Xingzhi didn't want to be straight, but said with a light smile: "Silver money is just a trivial matter for my Yan family, sometimes my father's good medicine can be exchanged for a thousand taels of snow, and sometimes he doesn't charge money for medicine." I didn't waste it extravagantly tonight, and it was worth the money to have this opportunity to meet the gentleman that Senior Brother Xing mentioned several times. ā€

Mo Ye couldn't help frowning and said, "It's extremely pedantic, who has to be so extravagant." ā€

Hearing this, Xing Feng looked at Mo Ye in amazement and said, "Of course it's your master." ā€

Mo Ye was surprised: "Then it's even more pedantic, why is it difficult to see my master, follow me, I'll take you directly to my house, won't it?" ā€

Yan Xingzhi waved his hand and said, "Senior Brother Mo, these two ways of seeing are different. I don't have anything special to look for your master, so wouldn't it be embarrassing if I met with Master Venerable too formally and had nothing to discuss. I'll just look at it from a distance, maybe I can see a group of masters fighting lantern fans, presumably the process must be exciting, and we don't have to observe any teacher-student etiquette when they don't know about it, wouldn't it be comfortable. If so, not only did the money not be lost, but it was earned. ā€

Mo Ye suddenly said: "I see, your brain is spinning fast." ā€

The three of them each entered the banquet, and then, the guide Xiao Er, who had just gone downstairs, came up again at this time, with an extra tray in his hand, on which were placed a plate of melon seeds, a plate of shortbread, and a pot of tea.

After Xiao Er left, Yan Xingzhi got up and pushed open the three large windows opposite the door, and the elegant house of the restaurant here suddenly turned into a pavilion in the air. Everyone only felt that the evening breeze was slight, and the vision was wide, and the group of masters who were drinking on the opposite side could also see it clearly.

It's just that the second floor of the restaurant where Lin Shan is located is slightly higher than the private room of the restaurant where Mo Ye is at this time, so the three people in the private room can see the people upstairs opposite, but the people on the opposite side are slightly drunk drinking, but it is difficult to look down at the people in the opposite building. What's more, the few masters who were drinking with Lin Shan seemed to be discussing something at this time, and everyone had already gathered together.

Mo Ye was not shy after entering the banquet. She first lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for each of the three of them, and then took a sip of the teacup by herself, which was considered to moisten her throat, and then she put down the teacup and smiled at Yan Xingzhi who was standing by the window: "Senior Brother Yan, walking with you today, I suddenly felt that I really knew too little about this aspect of being invited." ā€

Yan Xingzhi said with a faint smile in his eyes: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a matter of hearing and seeing, and I just learned a little bit from my fathers." I'm curious, what kind of person is Venerable Master? ā€

Mo Ye heard that he was using his influence from his father to speculate on how her master was.

Remembering that the master had been, Yan Xingzhi's grandfather had been an imperial doctor, and the three generations of their family had been involved in a wide range of people, it seemed that their interpersonal skills should be not shallow. However, Mo Ye also thought that Yan Xingzhi's grandfather should have been a royal doctor in the court of the previous dynasty, but what about now? It's just that she hadn't heard Master talk about this kind of private matter before, and it was not appropriate for her to put this curiosity on the table now. As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but have some complicated feelings in her heart.

Yan Xingzhi didn't bother to investigate why Mo Ye fell silent, because his attention was being attracted by another matter. Standing by the window, he turned sideways to Mo Ye and said, "The masters in the opposite building gathered together and seemed to be discussing something. Senior Brother Mo, you can also take a look
