Tang Ning himself didn't expect that he would actually sleep until the next day.

The thirteenth and fourteenth days of the first lunar month, plus the night of Shangyuan on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, is the most lively day of the year in Jingshi, there is no curfew in the city during these three days, and the people can enjoy the rich nightlife.

They only arrived in Jingshi two days ago, and they planned to have a good stroll at night, but they didn't expect to sleep until Shangyuan in one sleep, and if they missed tonight, they would have to wait for next year.

The sky has just darkened, and the entire capital has gradually lit up again, and the lights are like day.

The Shangyuan Festival in Jingshi, in terms of liveliness and prosperity, naturally cannot be compared with those modern metropolises in later generations, but the candles hanging on the streets, the lotus lanterns floating in the river, and the floating painting boats are more charming than the colorful neon lights in later generations, and the traffic that clogs the streets when they encounter festivals.

Xiao Jue followed the old beggar, before and after the saddle, he served carefully like a subordinate, without the slightest bit of a little grandfather's shelf.

He couldn't take Chun medicine, but he only reacted to that one prescription, and the old beggar had become a life-saving straw for him to achieve the happiness of life.

Tang Ning and Li Tianlan walked in front and walked to a certain bridge, Li Tianlan stopped and looked into the distance.

Tang Ning turned his head to look at her, noticed a melancholy expression on her face, thought for a while and asked, "Being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, the Shangyuan Festival, far away from home, away from relatives, feel uncomfortable, right?" ”

Li Tianlan looked down at the lotus lantern floating below, looked at him again, and asked, "Aren't you the same?" ”

Tang Ning was stunned for a long time, looked at the same night as her, and muttered: "Get used to it, it's fine......"

Li Tianlan looked at him and comforted: "The mission will stay in Beijing for a long time, you are better than me, and after the imperial examination is over, you will be able to return to Lingzhou." ”

Tang Ning sighed and said in a low voice: "I can't go back......"

Li Tianlan turned his head to look at him, and fireworks bloomed in the night sky in the distance, clearly reflecting his side face.

The same melancholy, the same thoughts, the difference is that there is a trace of hidden despair.

It was as if what he had in mind was a place he could never go back to.

He just left Lingzhou and came to Beijing to take the exam, this trace of despair should never appear on his face, Li Tianlan looked at him in a daze, his heart was full of doubts.

Thinking of another world, Tang Ning lost his mind for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he found that Li Tianlan was looking at him.

Tang Ning was surprised: "What is Miss Li looking at me for?" ”

"Nothing." Li Tianlan came back to his senses, immediately looked away, and said: "It's also considered familiar, and in the future, I still don't want to call "Miss Li" and "Miss Li" ......."

Tang Ning also felt that this was a bit raw, after all, everyone was so familiar, not to mention that Li Tianlan was his savior, what else did he have with his savior?

He thought for a while and said, "If you don't call Miss Li, why don't you call Sister Lan?" If you're younger than me, then call Sister Lan ......, what do you think of Lan Lan? ”

Li Tianlan pondered for a moment, looked at him and said, "You still call me Miss Li." ”

Women are really fickle, she is the one who says she is not called "Miss Li", and she is the one who says "Miss Li", she wants it for a while and does not want it for a while, and all the truth in the world is occupied by them.

After a while, Xiao Jue and the old beggar didn't know where to go.

Tang Ning saw that Li Tianlan had also walked off the bridge, and hurriedly followed, the old beggar and Peng Chen were gone, in order to prevent accidents, he had to hold Miss Li's thighs tightly.

Under the bridge is a stall that guesses the lantern riddle, a long shelf hangs several rows of lanterns, ten cents can be close to guess once, if you guess right, you can take away the lanterns, if you don't guess, ten cents will not be refunded.

In case someone picks on it, the riddles are all covered, and when Tang Ning walked over, Li Tianlan had already uncovered a riddle.

"The mountains are full of shade, and people are in the grass and trees." She glanced at it and said, "It's the word 'tea'." ”

The stall owner came over, smiled, took off the sky lantern, and said, "Congratulations girl, you guessed right." ”

A woman beside her pinched her male partner's waist and said angrily: "It's really useless, I didn't guess this, even a woman is not as good." ”

The young man laughed and said, "It's just a little bit, it's a little bit." ”

Tang Ning took the lantern handed over by the shopkeeper, and Li Tianlan had already unveiled the other.

"Ninety-nine. Missing one is a hundred, it is a "white" word. ”

The smile on the stall owner's face was no longer as bright as it was just now, and he took off the lamp and said with a smile: "The girl is really smart......

Li Tianlan continued to walk forward: "The two mountains are opposite and connected, and there are dangerous peaks inserted into the blue sky, which is the word "by". ”

The smile on the stall owner's face began to reluctantly.

"You have him, everyone has it, but I don't, it's a "human" word. ”

The stall owner couldn't laugh anymore.

"It's hard to speak, it's a "Ya" word. ”

There are mountains on all sides, and the mountains and mountains are connected, which is the word "field". ”

……

When Li Tianlan guessed more than a dozen in a row, Tang Ning couldn't laugh, because he couldn't take the lamp in his hand, the stall owner walked up to him, stuffed a piece of broken silver in his hand, and whispered: "Son, you take care of your lady, my small business, the family is counting on this business to eat......"

Downing explained: "She's not my wife. ”

The stall owner looked at him and said, "Then you don't go quickly, if you are seen by acquaintances, you will dip in the pig cage......

"It's not someone else's girl."

"Miss Steal still dares to be so blatant, if you don't leave, I'll call someone!"

……

Tang Ning only picked two good-looking lamps, and then pulled Li Tianlan away.

He is not afraid of dipping in the pig cage or being caught stealing the young lady, but he is just a small business, and if he is so stirred up by her, the family may be hungry.

Li Tianlan glanced at the place where he guessed the lantern riddle, and said: "There is no treachery, no business, just now he saw that he guessed a child, so he had to repay the debt, what kind of business does such a person do, why do you stop me?" ”

Naturally stopped her because if she guessed again, the stall owner would shout "Miss Steal", and Tang Ning was worried that if he shouted out at this voice, he would not live next year's Shangyuan.

He shook his head and said, "The people in the market, these are no longer normal, he bullied that child, and naturally there are people who bully him." ”

Downing looked back and saw that the crowd in front of the stall had dispersed, a child was standing in front of the lampstand, and the stall owner was pressed to the ground by a strong man and beat him wildly.

"Lao Tzu's son dares to bully, he can't beat you!"

……

walked around the street with Li Tianlan and met Xiao Jue and the old beggar again.

"Where did you two go, I was about to send someone to find you!" Xiao Jue glanced at the two suspiciously, and said: "After shopping for half a night, tired and hungry, go to the natural residence, I will treat you, fill your stomach first and then go shopping." ”

In order to celebrate that he was about to become a veritable lifter, Xiao Jue insisted on inviting guests to dinner, but Tang Ning couldn't shirk it, and he didn't want to dampen his enthusiasm, so he hesitated for a moment and agreed.

Tang Ning originally thought that the natural residence was a restaurant, but when he arrived at the place, he realized that this was actually a garden with a large area.

In a place like Jingshi, where every inch of land is valuable, if you can buy such a garden as a restaurant, the behind-the-scenes boss of the natural residence must have money and power.

Li Tianlan stopped at the door of the natural residence and looked at the couplets hanging on both sides of the gate.

Although it was night, the surroundings were brightly lit, and this couplet could be seen clearly.

"Getting the cool realm outside the world, just talking about poetry, when the lotus dew is newly cooked, the bamboo spring is hot."

"Pouring the chest in the middle of the block, what is the wine, so that the cold plum can be chewed, and the autumn chrysanthemum is feasting."

Li Tianlan looked at the couplet and said, "The couplet is elegant, in addition to this couplet, can you come up with another one?" ”

Tang Ning knew that her couplet addiction had committed it again, and urged: "This pair is ordinary, what's so right, let's go eat first, if you want to couplet, go back at night, and have time to take it slowly." ”

"If you can't come out, you can't come out, what do you say about the ordinary couplet, since our couplet is ordinary, you say that an unordinary one comes out!" As soon as Tang Ning's words fell, an unconvinced voice came from behind them.

He turned his head and saw a young girl dressed as a maid looking at him with her hands on her hips and her chest up.

The little girl also learns to stand tall and stand tall in front of Miss Li, who gave her the courage?

Tang Ning didn't intend to reason with this little maid, shook his head and said, "Go in." ”

The little maid stuck out her tongue at him and said, "Big talker, I'm afraid, you're still a man......"

Downing's steps that had already taken him back were retracted.

The most annoying thing in his life is that some people doubt whether he is a real man, and there is no one.
