On the fifteenth festival, Yecheng, the capital of Xuanguo.

Although it was the first month of the year, the weather was not as mild and pleasant as March and April, but the bright lights on the streets made it impossible to detect the chill.

There is no curfew in Yecheng today, and there is only bliss. The one who is blissful is also happy.

The soft breeze is affectionate, carrying the cold fragrance of plum blossoms in the distance, as if the woman of the small jasper is coming from the east. On both sides of the main road under the gate of Yecheng City, there are white plum trees with all kinds of exquisite and small lanterns.

With this fragrant wind, some plum petals are scattered. Some of them were covered with soil, and some of them happened to be deliberately triggered and flew into a vermilion-topped carriage.

The next moment, a little girl poked her head out of the carriage, looking at the lantern on the white plum tree with black and white eyes, looking left and right.

The little girl was not very old, she was exactly eight or nine years old. Her hair was coiled into two horn knots, one on each side, and the horn knots were tied in snow-blue and embellished with a few small hollowed-out silver bells. The silver bell was ringing lightly with her wandering gaze. The little girl looked at it, and stretched out her right hand, not knowing whether she wanted to grab the petals herself or break the plum branches and take them into the carriage to enjoy them, but when she hesitated, she was interrupted by a hearty and crisp voice.

"Out of the uncle! Out of the uncle! I want to eat the sesame cake of North Street Xiangyizhai, as well as hibiscus cake, osmanthus cake, oh, and another pack of jade cicada fruit! ”

The owner of the voice was a six-year-old child, and although he was not very old, his hair was neatly tied up on the top of his head by a white jade crown. Looking at the body again, he was dressed in brocade red satin arrow sleeves and a snow-colored fox fur cape.

And the little girl wearing a pair of jade palace boots is constantly stepping around at the moment, and the child's face also has the same anxious look as the children of ordinary people's families, as if a chirping chick in the bird's nest is waiting to be fed.

The middle-aged man who was called "Uncle Uncle" by the child was also dressed in a blue shirt, touching his beard and looking down and nodding his head to the red bean in front of him.

"Haha! Well? Haha......"

The little girl in the carriage couldn't help but open her mouth and laugh when she saw the appearance of the young child, but after she seemed to hear something, she immediately took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and smiled, but the corners of her eyes were not at all as crooked as the moon just now.

Or rather, she wasn't really smiling at this point. The hearty laughter of a moment ago was enough to attract attention, and the middle-aged man who had been replaced by "out of the uncle" came straight to the carriage with the young child.

"In Xia Liu, I'm bothering Miss Madame, my young master would like to ask you to take care of it for a while." As he spoke, Liu Chu leaned down and said a few words to the young child, put him under the plum tree next to the carriage, and hurriedly turned around and walked in the direction of North Street.

The boy in red looked at the carriage, which was very quiet, as if there was no one inside, and the groom in the carriage ignored him. The young boy lowered his head and muttered, but no one heard, and the two restless little feet subconsciously kicked the white plum tree next to him, and a small lantern that was not hung firmly fell to the ground.

The young boy rolled his eyes, immediately picked up the lantern on the ground, and said crisply to the carriage: "There is a lantern festival today, the sister in the car, do you want to come out and have a look?" So saying, he climbed into the carriage himself, and unheeded the groom's persuasion, and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

In the carriage, two people were seated. One was an older-looking woman in a winter coat of green satin, and the little girl sitting next to her was just now.

The little girl is wearing a white coat, and she is also wearing a simple plain clothes, if she walks out, it will be very out of place in this lively street. The woman in the carriage was a little vigilant, but when she saw that the person who came was just a child, her expression relaxed, but there was still three points of suspicion in her eyes.

"It turned out to be you, a little bean ding, and your housekeeper really dared to hand you over to passers-by casually, or did you already know who I was?"

The little girl's expression was unusually serious, and she didn't look like a nine-year-old child at all.

"Yay~ Sister, where are you from, is it the first time you have come to Xuanguo? You look ......, and the Master taught me, saying that this is called, what is it called? Oh, yes, 'the hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, and the teeth are like a rhinoceros.' 'Sister, you're so good-looking. As the young boy spoke, his face turned red together, and he lowered his head slightly, not noticing the little girl's brows that were wrinkled for a moment.

The little girl ignored the child's praise for her, but looked at the child in front of her carefully with the woman next to her, and suddenly the woman in front of her seemed to see something, leaned down and whispered a few words in the little girl's ear. The little girl's brows tightened slightly, and she changed her happy face, squatted down and moved forward, and pulled the toddler to sit down.

"My name is Gongyi Scarlet, and I am the 'Scarlet' of 'Scarlet Peach'. I don't know what your name is this little brother? ”

The young child's face was no longer red at the moment, perhaps because he knew that he was a little rude just now, so at this moment, he was very obedient in the small and limited space of the carriage with both hands to the two of them. "My name is 'Xuanyuan Qi', and it's the 'Qi' that is only half a word short of Sister Scarlet's 'Scarlet', this, well, yes, the master said, this is called fate."

As soon as Xuanyuan Qi's words fell, Gongyi's eyebrows couldn't help but raise, and his right hand was secretly clenched into a fist when he placed it in the warm sleeve.

Xuanyuan Qi was looking at Gongyi Scarlet intently at this time, muttering in his mouth, "Why haven't you come back yet?" At the same time, he turned his gaze to the older woman next to Gongyi.

"This is Aunt Yan, just like Uncle Yan, but Aunt Yan was born deaf and dumb......"

"Sister Scarlet, why don't we go guess the riddle?"

Xuanyuan Qi was exposed in the carriage again, and began to be restless, and without waiting for Gongyifei's words to finish, he pulled up Gongyifei to get out of the carriage. Gongyi Fei subconsciously dodged his hand back, but unexpectedly, he never thought that Xuanyuan Qi was young and had a lot of strength, and Gongyi Fei, a nine-year-old child, couldn't get rid of him for a while.

"Aunt Yan doesn't have to worry, let's go out and walk around the neighborhood and come back soon."

Aunt Yan was about to make a sound, but she was patted on the shoulder by Gongyifei with one hand, so she nodded again and again, pointing at Gongyifei and Xuanyuanqi, signaling Gongyifei to be more careful.

But Aunt Yan, who was obviously not at ease with the "uninvited" Xuanyuan Qi, still lifted the curtain of the carriage to the side, looked at Xuanyuan Qi, who was grinning and stiff, and Gongyi Fei who was behind, and saw that the two were indeed walking in the direction of the Lantern Festival, so she slowly exhaled.

"I hope I can come back before I enter the palace."

"Mrs. Yan, please rest assured, although my young master is naughty, he will definitely not delay the big event." Another person's voice came from the side of the carriage, and Aunt Yan turned around, it was Liu Chu, still holding the purchased pastry in her hand, plus a sprig of white plum.
