Chapter 169: The Town's Lantern Festival

When Yu Panxi woke up again, it was almost dusk. Ah Ye had already wiped out the tray of dried fruits, and returned to the night pearl to fall asleep.

Fortunately, after the former woke up, the connection between the dream and his memory was severed by itself, and there was no need to trouble him anymore.

As Yu Panxi had seen on the map before, the next city was very far away. The march of the army was not slow, but after a day's journey, it still did not reach the outside of the next city before dark.

The carriage slowly stopped, Yu Panxi lifted the curtain, and found that there was a lot of people not far ahead, obviously this was not a place in the wilderness.

"There's not much to stay in, and the spies sent out found a lively town here, so I decided to stay here tonight."

Xiao Chumo's voice came, and I saw him get off the horse very neatly, and while explaining to Yu Panxi, he carefully helped her out of the carriage.

Yu Panxi knows the rules of Xiao Chumo's hurry, the first thing is to find a place where there are people. If something happens on the way, make sure the news flows.

And this time, the itinerary is to use the cities along the way as footholds and connect them in series. Although you don't actually go inside, you can still replenish some food or other supplies. This is also the most important point.

It's just that it's getting late at this time, and normally speaking, people should be eating dinner at home at this time. The town in front of it seems to be completely unaffected, and it is still very lively.

"What's going on over there?"

Yu Panxi's eyes were attracted by the noisy voice, and he only felt very curious. She had just watched the lively singing and dancing in the afternoon's memory in Ah Ye's memory, and the interest had not completely dissipated at this time.

As for the place where the army settled, Xiao Chumo naturally sent someone over early in the morning to inquire clearly. At this time, he heard Yu Panxi ask, and said: "It seems that the annual lantern festival here is similar to that in Kyoto, and it should not stop until the second half of the night." ”

Lantern Festival?

When Yu Panxi heard this word, her eyes seemed to light up.

She goes to the annual lantern festival in Kyoto. But the palace door in the palace was closed very early, and Yu Feng was worried about her safety and didn't let her stay outside for a long time.

She'd never seen anything really exciting, let alone had a good time at the meeting. At this time, I suddenly ran into it, and naturally I yearned for it.

Xiao Chumo couldn't see her thoughts, and couldn't help but feel funny: "If you want to go, let's go in and have a look!" ”

"Is that okay?"

His words can be regarded as talking about Yu Panxi's heart, and the latter's face instantly appeared with a touch of surprise. It's just that the matter of the Dong clan hasn't been long before, and she is still a little worried, what if she encounters that incident again?

Xiao Chumo immediately heard what she was worried about, so he raised his hand and pinched the tip of her nose, and his voice became more and more gentle: "We came so coincidentally, how can we not take a good look?" You can just play with confidence. ”

In fact, he was not interested in the things that these little daughters loved, but since Yu Panxi liked them, he didn't mind accompanying her for a walk.

Although he has been married for so long, such an intimate action still makes the latter can't help but blush. Yu Panxi looked away a little embarrassed and nodded slightly.

Look, it's shy.

Xiao Chumo chuckled, but he didn't break it, and took her hand and walked towards the town.

In fact, the lantern festival here is not different from Kyoto, but the time is different and it doesn't look so grand. Activities such as guessing lantern riddles and putting lanterns are still similar.

Yu Panxi shuttled through it, looking at the crowd of people coming and going around him, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up. She has seen such a lively scene countless times, but she has not been able to be in it.

In her previous life, it was because she was arrogant, even if she was envious in her heart, she didn't want to walk with the small people in the market. Relying on his friendship with the princes and nobles on weekdays, he only haunts the banquets held by the princesses and ladies. As a result, after the whole banquet, except for the ladies praising each other, the atmosphere was really heavy.

And in this life, she tried her best to get revenge, and she didn't have the leisure to participate in those banquets. The lantern festival in front of her can be regarded as being able to make up for the little regret in her heart.

The crowd was crowded, and Xiao Chumo protected Yu Panxi all the way, blocking the surrounding crowd for her. Looking at the irrepressible smile on the latter's face, it seemed to be infected, and he unconsciously brought a smile. The whole person has faded away from the indifferent atmosphere of weekdays, but it seems to be a lot softer.

"There's still one selling this!"

Yu Panxi screamed in surprise, as if he had seen something, and pulled Xiao Chumo towards the stall on the side.

As he got closer, he saw that there were many masks hanging on the wooden shelves of the shop in front of him. From various animals to characters depicted in mythology, although they are not everything, they are all vividly drawn, and the eyebrows are very expressive.

You can see this in the palace!

Yu Panxi only glanced at the previous lantern festival from a distance, and did not walk over at all. Now that she has met her again, she naturally doesn't plan to let it go, but wants to have a good time.

Her gaze swept roughly over those masks, and suddenly she took a fancy to one of them, picked it up and held it up in front of Xiao Chumo: "Look at you, is this mask very similar to you?" ”

Her crooked eyebrows and eyes are very infectious, Xiao Chumo saw it in his eyes, and he only felt that he was also full of joy. It's just that when his gaze fell on the mask, the corners of his mouth twitched obviously.

“…… Am I that scary in your eyes? ”

The mask held up in front of him was not depicted with a cat or a dog, but with a malevolent looking ghost. The appearance of the blue-faced fangs is really a little unacceptable.

Not to mention women, I'm afraid that ordinary people won't take a fancy to this kind of thing, right?

Yu Panxi couldn't let go of the various looks on his face, and he didn't miss the corners of his slightly twitching mouth. Even though he was about to laugh out loud secretly, he still turned the mask over and looked at it, and commented in a matter-of-fact manner: "It's not scary, I just think this mask is quite suitable for you." ”

Fit?

Xiao Chumo couldn't help but glance at the mask again.

Yu Panxi watched his movements, and then said: "You said that you always look cold on weekdays, and in the eyes of others, isn't it the same as seeing this kind of little ghost?" Besides, you look so handsome, you always like to attract bees and butterflies. If I don't cover it with a mask, how can I rest assured that I will visit the Lantern Festival? ”

This is a half-truth.

Originally, she planned to tease Xiao Chumo, but what she said was not a lie. Those aristocratic women in Kyoto who dreamed of squeezing into the gate of the Xiao family, and the previous Meng Lin are the best examples.
