In the later generations of the Lantern Festival, the family got together to wrap the Lantern Festival and rub mahjong to watch the Spring Festival Gala playback, in the Ming Dynasty, this feature is to watch the lanterns!

This year is a bumper year, every household has surplus food, not hungry, but also every household has thoughts, out of the seventh day of the first month, almost every household is looking for materials to make lamps, to the fifteenth day of the first month, Tieshan City is simply hung with all kinds of status lanterns to be hung into the night, it is very good-looking.

Today is also the last day spent in Tieyi before departure, accompanied Mao Wenlong to observe the people's situation in the city for a while, and pulled his two girls, Mao Jue took advantage of the situation. As soon as he turned around, Mao Wenlong could only see the sneaky shadows of the three people entering the crowd, and the old guy who watched it also smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Wow, that's beautiful!"

The bright eyes were round, and the plain clothes were extremely excited to shout around a rabbit-shaped lantern, jumping around, usually the steady energy I don't know where to throw it, living like a child who doesn't grow up.

Not only she, but even the self-proclaimed well-informed Adriana was fascinated by the lanterns in front of her, all kinds of colored lanterns hanging on the railings and ropes of the building, almost covering the street, Maitreya shape, bird shape, big corn cob shape, all kinds of patterns. Last year was still in the stage of hard work, the New Year was not too extravagant, this year is considered to be into the food and clothing, this year's lantern festival is also the largest in the entire Iron Mountain, even if she has walked through so many places, she has never seen such a beautiful scene, and she is also carrying a lantern in her hand, and the foreign beauty is also looking left and right and can't stop at all.

In the past, these two girls could form a unique landscape, but this time, they are completely submerged in the crowd, because there are so many girls on the street today.

Chinese etiquette is strict, especially since the Song Dynasty, the prevalence of Cheng Zhu Lixue, the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law are trapped in the boudoir, and they can no longer see the scene of the noble girl in the Tang Dynasty in the past, walking through the market, but there are a few days of accidents in a year, today is one of them, no matter the daughter of that family, today can be justified on the street without being scolded.

In addition, this is the most traditional Valentine's Day in China! On this road, Mao Jue has seen more than a pair of mandarin ducks sneaking into the alley, and it is conceivable to do something.

However, Mao Jue didn't feel this kind of romantic feelings at all, and following behind his two girls, he was a little irritable.

There's no way, he hasn't told the two girls about Mao Wenlong's marriage to him, the key is really unspeakable, and he can't hold his plain face and say it to her affectionately.

"Girl! The young master went to Jiangnan this time, how about bringing back a young grandmother for you to play? ”

This girl must be teary-eyed and dotting her little brain, as for Adelena, she probably slammed the door and left.

And Adriana is really a troublemaker, unconsciously, Mao Jue still relies on her for many things, tobacco planting, mills, copywriting, this time I can't take her to the south, if I hide from her and bring back a woman, this girl doesn't know if she will give herself a general strike or something.

The question is, how do you open your mouth?

While thinking about it, Su Yi, who was jumping in front of him, ran back excitedly with a sugar gourd.

"Young Master! Those people over there are going to the sea to put lanterns, shall we go too? ”

The lotus lantern on the surface of the sea is very beautiful when you think about it, but the sea breeze is also quite cold at this time, looking at this girl's smiling face and cold red, Mao Jue still subconsciously shook his head.

"It's too late, don't go!"

"Oh! Master! ”

Obviously a little disappointed, Su Yi took care of his little brain, but this time, a sour voice sounded on the other side.

"Our young master is worried about more than a hundred goblins in his heart, where do you still have the heart to accompany our sisters? People are old! Hey...... in Da Ming's words, I'm going to be sent to the cold palace! ”

It was really sour to fly, and she almost didn't hang a vinegar bottle on the rising little mouth, hugging her arms, and brushing aside her face that was also red from the cold, Adriana snorted angrily.

Mao Jue suddenly felt a faint pain in his brain, the matter of marriage has not been disclosed, the backyard has been on fire, a few days ago, Mao Jue selected out of the group of widows to change a set of beautiful clothes, placed in the Hot Spring Valley Officer Club to start the official operation, a group of officers are hungry wolf is to raise their hands in agreement, but this girl immediately turned cloudy, that day on the excuse of the tantrum, a few new maids almost did not scold and cry, this time was raised again.

I want to tell her, young master, I got married, congratulations on being a junior, this girl is not allowed to fly?

"Okay! Yes! Yes! I'm afraid of you, can't we go? Mao Lance, go get dozens of lanterns for the young master, let's go to the beach to put lanterns!"

The faithful bodyguard behind him immediately appeared from an unobtrusive place to run errands, and the girl in plain clothes couldn't help cheering excitedly.

"Young Master, you're so nice!"

With a bang, a soft touch was imprinted on Mao Jue's old face, and before he could react, this girl covered her red little face again, and ran away without a trace.

Seeing Adriana's appearance of smiling, Mao Jue shook her head helplessly, and hurriedly chased after her.

"Lots of people! Don't run around! Plain clothes!"

…………

No matter what era, people's pursuit of romance is common, since Mao Jue came to power, the Tieshan Port with cement concrete to build a few miles of platform, here has also become the best meeting place for young men and women who pursue romance.

Five galleons were quietly moored in the harbor, and the goods of the northern specialties to be brought down to the south of the Yangtze River had been filled, and more than 800 sailors borrowed from Mao Jue on Phi Island had also boarded the ship, and were lazily lying on the fence looking down, and on the sea, which was still ebb and flowed, an incomparably beautiful spectacle was unfolding in front of them.

For several miles, countless floating lamps, flickering candles were as brilliant as the stars in the sky, and on the shore of the cement harbor, a pair of young men and women also embraced each other, without the fierceness and madness of later generations, just so gentle and elegant with the lights and looking at the sea.

In this bloody and cruel era, a rare warmth vein!

When the leader is always good, and those young people are enjoying the romance with the cold wind blowing below, Mao Jue can hug left and right, sit in the warm three-story captain's room, and look down at the most beautiful scene through a small piece of mosaic glass.

On the table, the ice cubes were soaked in wine, occasionally making a crackling sound, in the stove, the dry wood was rising, changing the light and shadow in the dark room, leaning on the soft big sofa, Mao Jue also watched it for a while.

God is really fair, he deprived Mao Jue of a comfortable life, dragged him away from the glamorous world of flowers and flowers in later generations, and even his identity became another person, but this kind of right, this kind of tranquility is also something he has never experienced. In later generations, he didn't even have a girl who looked at him squarely, but now, he has two confidants, to use a saying of the ancients, then what can he ask for!

But just when Mao Jue was thinking about it, there was a bone sound, and the little plain clothes with a red face who was still excited just now actually had a crooked brain, and fell asleep, and the glass in his hand also fell aside, and the red wine was sprinkled a piece, looking at the corner of this girl's mouth with a trace of crystal saliva, and still smirking, Mao Jue pinched her little nose funny.

"Help her in! I'll wipe it!"

Nodding to Adlena, holding the plain clothes horizontally, Mao Jue turned around and went into the bedroom next to her, stuffed the plain clothes into the quilt, and covered her with the quilt, looking at her sleeping appearance, Mao Jue really struggled for a while, which made her little face fragrant, and turned around to go out.

Exiting the room with his back and closing the door, Mao Jue just turned around, and a stream of red with fragrance swept in front of his eyes, the light yarn floated by, flew aside, and the afterimage fell, Mao Jue's whole person was dumbfounded, looking forward in disbelief, for a while, the only impression that echoed in his mind was the Aegean Sea, the broken arm Venus that had charmed for thousands of years.

"Aderena, what are you?"

The milky white skin was flashed by the firelight, two blushes appeared on the cheeks, the hands behind the back of the back supported the seductive delicate body, elegantly reclining on the leather chair, the slender legs overlapped, Adriana's expression was still so calm, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"Although it's a little different from the sorghum field that the young master always thinks about, but this time, the young master shouldn't brush his sleeves and go away, right?"

"Why tonight?"

"This time, the master arranged for the young master to go to Jiangnan, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as worshipping the ancestral spirit, right?"

"In our West, marriage is essential for a big family to prosper! And if Dongjiang wants to be passed on to the young master, the young master also needs to have enough heirs to continue the allegiance of the generals' retainers! But regardless of the East and the West, they all pay attention to the right people, concubines and plain clothes, and their identities are obviously not qualified!"

After a pause, a seductive smile appeared on Adlena's face.

"Therefore, the concubine has to leave an indelible impression before the young master leaves!"

Mao Jue is really a little scared, this woman is rational enough to be terrifying, after Mao Wenlong told himself about it, in addition to instructing Wen Meng, Su Changmei, and Kong Youde to follow the steps and stay safe, he didn't mention it to anyone, but he was guessed by this girl.

Swallowing his saliva, Mao Jue twisted his head slightly with some difficulty.

"She ...... in plain clothes"

"That's right, I drugged her wine!"

stood up suddenly, in the white shadow, a pair of heavy and oppressive forces on Mao Jue's chest, her blue eyes were full of ** smiles, Adriana seemed to have really incarnated into a high god of beauty at this moment, looking down at Mao Jue's somewhat panicked eyes.

"Women are selfish, aren't they?"

This kind of passivity is by no means Mao Jue's character, not to mention, the dry firewood has already ignited a raging fire, what else needs to be said! Suddenly hugged the girl, and in her exclamation, the two of them slammed into the sofa just now.

The firelight is beating, the shadows are shrouded, and in the floating sea, the lanterns are still drifting farther and farther away with romantic blessings, and in the swaying waves, I don't know how to cover up the continued murmuring.

…………

The absurd and impulsive night passed like this, after the celebration, the people of the Dongjiang River packed up their moods again and began the busy new year, on the edge of the port, those large fishing boats put away the big nets in the fisherman's number, and the dock workers were also sorting out the big barrels, and everyone began to struggle for next year's today, as their Mao said, because they love life, so they are fearless!

In the port, Adriana's body was a little weak, but holding on to the carriage window lattice, watching the back of the five galleons with eight lucky boats heading south, there was still a triumphant smile on the corner of her mouth, a woman is really a shrewd animal, no matter what kind of affair Mao Jue had in Jiangnan this time, he was destined to never forget the romance of last night, this is the guarantee of her future.

The Black Pearl, the aft building, the captain's quarters.

"It's over, young master's thing!"

She slept for the first time, and when she still shone on her ruddy face, the girl suddenly woke up. One of the bones got up, and Suyi screamed and rushed out. But just pushed the door open, leaning against the big sofa by the window, a lot of luggage came into view, already dressed neatly, Mao Jue, who was dressed as a Confucian student, was stuffing the cabinet one by one, and when he heard this girl come out, he turned around and showed a bright smile.

"The luggage has been delivered, so there's nothing to worry about."

At the end, Mao Jue added another sentence.

"Happy traveling!"
