Vermilion Bird Street in front of the Imperial City, fire trees and silver flowers, lights such as day, bustling flow of people from all over the capital gathered, in this magnificent and brilliant lantern festival, Vermilion Bird Street from east to west two rows of streets, a total of hundreds of color sheds have been built, these color sheds not only have the color sheds of the royal and various yamen, but also the major temples and Taoist temples, civil associations, and individual funds to build the color sheds.

Each lantern is brilliantly lit, singing and dancing, even if it is the temple Taoist temple's lantern shed, the lantern visitors walk back and forth on this mile-long long street, stop to watch from time to time, or go directly to the front, enjoy the lantern, receive a gift.

Among the crowded tourists, all kinds of people, such as dignitaries, wealthy businessmen, official wives, small jasper, Fengchen women, nuns, light chivalrous children, gentlemen, green idlers, pulp and car sellers, etc., and so on.

Many little ladies in tonight makeup makeup, not only eyebrows are pointed, small mouths are bright red, head and skirt also do enough work to attract the attention of those young Lang Jun, some come and go, Lang has a concubine intention, then left the lantern festival, to a secluded place to go on a private date, when the love is strong, the two convenient have "remember the central media mother-in-law to my house to propose", "rest assured, never live up to you" and other dialogues, the young men and women in the market are always bold, behind this flashy and grand festival, it seems that they also love the spring festival.

The color sheds that stretched through the past were full of people and brightly lit.

The color shed of Yanjing Morning News is one of the most lively more than a dozen color sheds among the many color sheds, the color shed is surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the three floors, enjoying the lanterns, receiving gifts, in addition, the Yanjing Morning News will be marketing this lantern, spending a lot of silver, and the kaki dancers and dancers invited are all excellent, and they are also the factors that attract tourists.

Jia Wei, Kong Li, Chen Lei, Lin Yongfu, Ye Mingcheng, Xu Tian and other leading figures of the newspaper office all came, sitting at the back of the stage with smiles on their faces, looking at the lively scene under the stage from time to time, and talking to each other a few words.

On the opposite street, a community color shed face to face with the Yanjing Morning News booth, in addition to singing and dancing, there are also jugglers, which also attracted a lot of tourists to stop.

“…… Auntie, I didn't coax you, Bao Erye's Yanjing Morning News also has a color shed, and even Bao Erye himself is here! ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, Zhen'er retracted her gaze and said to Xiangling with a smile.

After all, the Yanjing Morning News is close to the Jade Lion Hutong, and some of the publishers are from the Jade Lion Hutong, so every day there is news from the Yanjing Morning News in the Hutong to spread the past, as a conversation after the tea, this time the Morning News Agency set up a color shed, for lantern marketing, it is the matter of the distribution department, so it spread more widely in the Hutong, heard about this, she naturally went back to the yard, and told Xiangling, It's just that I didn't think about it, but when I got here, I not only saw the color shed of the morning newspaper, but even Jia Wei actually saw it.

For Xiangling, this is really an unimaginable joy.

After all, since Jia Wei left in a fit of anger that night, she hadn't seen him for nearly three months, and when she saw him at this time, she was in a state of excitement.

Looking at the handsome and free figure on the stage, for a while, she completely ignored the lantern festival around her, and even Zhen'er's words were not heard at all.

Zhen'er waited for a long time, but didn't see her speak, so she couldn't help but take a serious look, and then sighed lightly, not knowing whether to be happy or worried about her.

In the next hour, Xiangling didn't have the heart to go to the lantern festival again, just stood in front of this color shed, looking at Jia Wei's every move opposite, she didn't go shopping, Zhen'er as a maidservant, naturally it was not good to leave her alone to go shopping, she could only accompany her here, so after more than half an hour, I saw the wide and bright stage, Jia Wei got up and said a few words with a smile to the next few people, and then left the color shed surrounded by a group of relatives, and then passed through the noisy Vermilion Bird Street and went to the street in front.

Xiangling's gaze followed him closely, and she didn't turn around until Jia Wei's group of relatives disappeared into the night in front of her.

"Auntie...... Second Master Bao is gone, let's go shopping. Zhen'er on the side said softly.

"Yes." After a moment, Xiangling came back to her senses and nodded.

At this time, the time had passed, and then the master and servant had wandered around for more than half an hour, and when they saw that the hour was approaching, they planned to go back.

Although tonight is not the night sky, the imperial court also encourages the people to stay all night and spend the festival together, but the people who will really stay at the lantern festival all night and do not return are a minority, especially young women like Xiangling's master and servant, it is impossible to stay here all night, and now when it is close to the child, it will take nearly half an hour to return to the east city from the imperial city, so it should be early in the morning to really get home, lie down and rest, thinking that after tomorrow's fifteenth, you will have to do pulp washing and needlework, but you dare not delay the rest, save the whole day can not lift your spirit, The master and servant did not hesitate any longer, took up their skirts, quickened their pace a little, and went to the street ahead.

Speaking of which, Suzaku Street is where the lantern festival is located, and in order to make the road smooth and not affect the lantern viewing, parking is not allowed here, so the cars of those who come tonight are parked on the side of the street in front.

Previously, Jia Wei went to the street in front of him, and naturally boarded the car over there, and similarly, Xiangling's master and servant also had to go there to take a sedan chair and go home.

When the two of them came tonight, they came in the same sedan chair, which had been hired by Zhen'er two days ago, and it cost two dollars to go back and forth.

For the current master and servant, this is not a small amount, but to visit the lantern fair, but have to pay this money to hire a sedan chair, one is a long distance, with their physical strength, walking back and forth, it is unbearable at all, two to come on foot, but it's okay, when returning is bound to be late at night, for safety reasons, you have to hire a sedan chair, there are two sedan chair drivers, so you can feel at ease. In this way, for this lantern festival, the master and servant are also extravagant.

The two of them went all the way to the street in front of them, and saw from a distance that they had hired a small sedan chair resting aside, and the two sedan chair drivers were sitting on the sedan pole chatting idlely, and when they were about to pass, Zhen'er suddenly pulled the corner of Xiangling's clothes, and said in a low voice, "...... Auntie, you look at the person behind you, it seems that he followed our sedan chair when he came from Dongcheng, and the little maid was not sure at that time, for fear that his aunt and grandmother would be needless to worry, so he didn't say anything...... Now that they have come with him, there is no more doubt...... Presumably they followed at the Lantern Festival, but there were too many people, and the little maid didn't notice it......"

When Xiangling heard this, she looked behind her, and sure enough, there was a strong man standing a few feet behind them, and at this time she looked over, and the other party's eyes looked away, as if she was looking at a nearby mansion with interest.

“…… Auntie, this person has followed us all the way, obviously with bad intentions, and must be waiting for us to return now, in the dead of night, waiting for the opportunity to start...... Look at this strong person, even if we have two sedan chair men, I'm afraid it won't help...... What to do, Grandma? Zhen'er whispered again with concern.

Xiangling saw the appearance of this strong man, and listened to Zhen'er's words, her heart fluttered, where did she have an idea, she looked more flustered than Zhen'er, and it took a while before her face turned pale and said, "...... Regardless of his ...... We...... Let's get on the sedan chair first......"

"Auntie, I blame me, I shouldn't have pleaded you to the Lantern Festival...... Auntie and grandmother are so beautiful, after all, it will make some bad people have bad thoughts......"

“…… Zhen'er, don't talk about this...... We...... Let's hurry up and get on the sedan ......"
