"Let the little grandfather wait for a long time, and Nian'er couldn't help but delay some time when she saw such a fresh scene for the first time."

After getting closer, Xiao Yin took the initiative to let go of the hand holding Ran Qiunian, Ran Qiunian withdrew his hand and saluted the little grandfather, but she still felt that her hand was empty all of a sudden, and she knew that she should let Qingxi bring the hand stove, she thought about it indiscriminately.

"I also just arrived, and Sister Nian'er doesn't need to blame herself."

Qi Ruoyun smiled, didn't care about this, and after the three of them converged, they walked along the lively street, wandering all the way.

"Last night, there was a fire in the Imperial Guard Mansion, I thought that Brother Xiao didn't have the heart to come out tonight."

Qi Ruoyun said suddenly, Ran Qiunian subconsciously looked at him, but saw that the smile between his eyebrows and eyes had not changed, as if he was just talking about a trivial matter.

"Why does the little grandfather think so?" Xiao Yin did not answer the rhetorical question.

"I just heard that Brother Xiao is still investigating the iron ore loss case these days, so he just asked casually."

Qi Ruoyun said meaninglessly: "This case has been closed, if Brother Xiao feels that there are still doubts, he should discuss with me, after all, the Holy Lord has assigned you and me to cooperate in the investigation of the case, and there should be more trust between each other." ”

It turns out that we blamed us for investigating the case and not bringing him? Ran Qiunian thought on the side, yesterday he saw himself dressed as a retinue and came out of the eldest brother, he would definitely be suspicious, and he could find out that they had been to the Imperial Guard Mansion that day, and Qi Ruoyun would be strange if he pretended not to know anything.

"It's just some clues that no one can say, and the left and right have been broken there, and there is nothing to check. That's why I didn't bother with it. ”

After Xiao Yin finished speaking, Ran Qiunian pretended to be unhappy and said, "Are you here to visit the Lantern Street today, or are you here to talk about the case?" If you want to talk about the case, go back early, Nian'er doesn't dare to disturb the business of the two adults. ”

"It's mine, isn't it, sister Nian'er, don't blame it, let's not talk about it."

Now that he had gotten the answer he wanted, Qi Ruoyun listened to Ran Qiunian's words, and then stopped mentioning it.

Ran Qiunian walked between the two, because the little grandfather was there, she was not too careful, and many interesting stalls were just casually glanced, and she no longer had the interest of pulling Xiao Yin into the crowd with great interest before.

"There are lantern riddles in front of us, so let's go over and have a look. Both of you are great talents, and most of those lantern riddles can't bother you, right? ”

Ran Qiunian finally found a place where all three of them could participate, and hurriedly led people to the lampstand.

She already had a plan in her heart, and when she finished guessing the riddles one by one, she said that she was tired, and went home early to rest, and when Qi Ruoyun left, she begged Xiao Yin to secretly take her out to play, and when there were no outsiders around, wouldn't she be able to play at will?

Qi Ruoyun naturally couldn't see Ran Qiunian's plan, and when she said this, she also looked at the riddle with some interest.

There were already a lot of people gathered here in the stall, all of them were groups of young people, and while the two of them were looking at the lantern riddles, Ran Qiunian looked around.

Fang Cai didn't think that now that there were more people, Ran Qiunian noticed something strange, why are there all young people on this street? In addition to the vendors, more than half of the people walking the streets are young men and women who appear to be unmarried.

"This son, I don't know if I can accept the little girl's sachet?"

Just as she was thinking about it, a somewhat nervous girl's voice sounded in front of Ran Qiunian, she looked intently, and it turned out that there was a veiled girl in a blue dress standing in front of them at some point.

The girl was holding a small sachet of delicate embroidery, standing in front of Qi Ruoyun shyly, and what she said was for Qi Ruoyun.

Ran Qiu thought of the novelty, so he wanted to see how Qi Ruoyun dealt with it, and he was not surprised to see him gently reject the bold girl.

But the rejected girl, though a little disappointed, said nothing, turned back to her female companion, and whispered and left.

"The little grandfather is really beautiful. You can come across such a good thing when you walk into the street. ”

Seeing that Qi Ruoyun noticed his gaze and looked over, Ran Qiunian hurriedly said with a smile.

"Today is the Begging Festival, no formal etiquette, it is inevitable that it will be a little lively, I see that you are empty-handed, and I think you are not very interested in this custom."

Ran Qiunian heard that Qi Ruoyun also talked about the custom rites of the Begging Yuan Festival, and when he was about to leave, Qingxi squeezed his eyebrows and looked mysteriously and said it secretly, Ran Qiunian couldn't help but ask:

"What's so special about this begging festival? Isn't it just a lantern rally, a street market, and what does it have to do with giving away sachets? ”

Xu is question made Qi Ruoyun very surprised, he looked at Ran Qiu for a long time, and then sighed and said: "It turns out that Sister Nian'er doesn't know, I thought it was ......"

"What? What did the little grandfather just say, Nian'er didn't hear clearly, what is the special statement of this begging festival? ”

Ran Qiunian didn't hear clearly, and subconsciously took a step towards Qi Ruoyun's side, but was pulled by Xiao Yin next to her, she paused at her feet, retreated again, and looked at Xiao Yin sideways.

"Does the big brother know too?"

Xiao Yin didn't know why at this time, he looked in a good mood, and even his eyes were warm, although his face was not obvious, but Ran Qiunian knew that he was in a good mood.

"It's nothing, it's okay if you don't know."

Xiao Yin touched Ran Qiunian's head and didn't tell her anything. Qi Ruoyun listened to it on the side, glanced at Xiao Yin for some reason, and in the face of Ran Qiunian's doubts, he was uncharacteristically silent.

Ran Qiunian frowned, knowing that she couldn't ask anything, but she was not a little girl who didn't know anything, seeing the secretive appearance of the two, combined with what she saw, she had some guesses.

The custom of this begging festival is not the same as Qixi Festival, where young men and women who have not yet married go to the street together to make love with sachets? Thinking of this, Ran Qiunian finally understood why Qingxi's girl had a strange reaction since she promised Qi Ruoyun yesterday.

And the big brother, Ran Qiunian suddenly didn't dare to look at his eyes when he thought of this, I wonder if the big brother also misunderstood me?

Ran Qiunian's mind was full of Xiao Yin's opinions at this time, and she didn't notice Qi Ruoyun's lost eyes since she broke out that she didn't know the customs of the Qiyuan Festival.

The atmosphere between the three of them was a little strange for a while.

It's good that I didn't understand it before, but now that I know the reason, looking at the eyes on the street that are looking this way openly and secretly, Ran Qiunian feels a little uncomfortable.

She walked to a mask stall, picked up two masks from it, turned around and handed them to Xiao Yin and Qi Ruoyun.

"I see a lot of people on the street wearing masks, it's also a novelty, let's have one by one, and we can have fun."

Seeing that Ran Qiunian was interested, Qi Ruoyun naturally wouldn't refute her face, not to mention that he didn't want some unknown women to come over and disturb them.

Seeing that both of them took the masks, Ran Qiunian also turned around and got one for himself, and when he turned around, he saw that Xiao Yin was still stunned, so he urged.

"Why don't you put it on big brother, I'll help you."

After Ran Qiunian finished speaking, he put down the mask in his hand, took Xiao Yin's, and wanted to help him put it on.

Xiao Yin was slightly stunned, the mask had already been buckled, and he bent down according to Ran Qiunian's movements, and asked her to help tie the ribbons on both sides of the mask to the back of his head.

Qi Ruoyun on the side saw it, and couldn't help but secretly regret it, why did he put on the mask so quickly?

Ran Qiunian tiptoed to put on Xiao Yin's mask to make sure that his face was covered behind the mask, and then he withdrew his hand with satisfaction, took his mask and put it on his face.

The three of them put on their masks, and then returned to the stall where they guessed the lantern riddles, mingling with the young people who were also wearing masks, and Ran Qiunian was satisfied to find that the sight cast from the dark place before was suddenly less than half.

It's not in vain that she deliberately chose such a wolf mask with a blue face and fangs for her eldest brother, Ran Qiunian, who was wearing a horse mask, was quite complacent, and under the cover of the mask, no one could see her careful thoughts clearly.

After guessing a few riddles, Ran Qiunian felt bored again, the few riddles from this hawker were really difficult for Xiao Yin and Qi Ruoyun, two well-educated people.

I thought it would take a while to solve it to the end, but who knew that it would only take a moment for all the riddles to be guessed.

Ran Qiunian took a beautiful Moon Palace lantern from the hawker's hand, and carried this colorful head, under the envious gaze of everyone, she only smiled bitterly.

"I've guessed all the riddles, where do you want to look next?"

Through the mask, Qi Ruoyun couldn't tell whether Ran Qiunian was happy or unhappy, and when she saw that she was staring at the lantern for a long time, she asked out loud.

"After walking for a long time, I'm a little hungry, there are more and more people on this street, why don't we go to Tianxianglou to sit down and rest for a while?"

Ran Qiunian proposed, Qi Ruoyun didn't like to be crowded in the crowd, if it weren't for Ran Qiunian's happiness, he wouldn't give up the carriage and go down to the ground to walk, and he naturally agreed with it.

The three of them went up to the nearest Tianxiang Building, opened a private room facing the street, opened the window, and sat down to rest.

Ran Qiunian put the lantern on the table, and stood by the window before the pastries and tea were delivered, overlooking the street scene below from a high place.

All kinds of lanterns are decorated from the street to the end of the street, and you don't feel like it from below, but when you look at it from above, it really has a different attitude.

"In half an hour, it will be the time for the flower god to parade the street, and then the street scene below will be more lively, and more beautiful lanterns will be put out."

Qi Ruoyun didn't know when he stood beside Ran Qiunian, and when he saw her looking intently, with a smile in his eyes, he took off the mask on his face.

"Little grandfather." Ran Qiunian turned his head sideways and saw that Qi Ruoyun was also standing over, so he stood up straight and greeted him.

With a mask to cover it, she just didn't have to work on her face, her expression was light, but her tone was the same as usual: "The timing of that thought'er is just right, and after a while, the flower spirit wanders the street, and when you look down from the window of the private room, you can just see it at a glance." ”

Saying this, Ran Qiunian noticed that Xiao Er had brought in pastries and tea, so he gave up the window to Qi Ruoyun, walked to Xiao Yin and sat down, took off the mask and veil on his face, and couldn't help but smile when he looked at the wolf mask with blue fangs on Xiao Yin's face.

Ran Qiu Nian saw that Xiao Yin didn't take the initiative to take off the mask, so he didn't mention it.
