Chapter 44: The Lantern Festival
This year's New Year is very different from the past, Zhu Mingyang did not watch the Spring Festival Gala next to his parents, but stood at the gate of the house in Chang'an West City, I don't know how his parents should spend the New Year this year? This house was given to him by Wang Renyou, and Zhu Mingyang moved over in a hurry a year ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The yard is clean and generous, indeed a very nice place. The wide courtyard is surrounded by a rockery, which is covered in silver against the background of the blizzard, which is even more beautiful. The tall Zhu Gate is alone with two servants, and the gate is replaced with the powerful word "Zhu Fu", but there are two huge red lanterns hanging on both sides of the plaque, which is full of joy.
"Brother Zhu! The dumplings are cooked, let's go inside and eat some! Cuicui took an oilcloth umbrella from the house to prop it up for Zhu Mingyang.
"Cuicui, come inside, it's cold outside." Zhu Mingyang said distressedly.
"Cuicui doesn't enter the house, Cuicui will accompany Brother Zhu to enjoy this snow scene!" Cuicui raised the umbrella pestle a little higher. In a huge courtyard, a pair of good men and women stood in the snow.
The curtain had just ended, and the streets were already crowded with people. On the side of the street, the lanterns by the river have been hung, and the clear river water is like a mirror, illuminating the entire Chang'an City like daytime. The Lantern Festival in Chang'an is particularly lively, especially this year's Lantern Festival, the new emperor ascended the throne, adding a touch of joy, through this Chang'an City seems to be the world is all over the world. Zhu Mingyang dragged Cuicui to wander on Chang'an Street, the two sometimes stationed in front of the cloth shop, and sometimes picked up in the jewelry store, but saw Zhu Mingyang inserting a silver hairpin into Cuicui's bun. After Wang Youren handed over the house to Zhu Mingyang, he sent someone to send Wanguan coins the next day, and Zhu Mingyang can now dress up Cuicui well.
"You are Zhu Mingyang?" Just as Zhu Mingyang was about to pay and leave, a group of fierce and vicious people surrounded him, but he saw that these people were dressed like people from the official family, but they were not wearing soldiers' clothes.
"You, what are you looking for from me?" Zhu Mingyang asked suspiciously.
"We took money from others to buy your life." A leader shouted. The pedestrians who were originally full of people on the street, seeing such a group of people with knives, all fled, leaving Zhu Mingyang and Cuicui facing this group of fierce and vicious men.
"This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, do you still have a royal law?" If Zhu Mingyang had already found a corner to hide in the past, and had experienced so many lives and deaths, he would no longer be afraid.
"Yo! Your kid has a hard mouth, brothers, give it to me. The leader pointed at Zhu Mingyang with the steel knife in his hand.
"Run!" Zhu Mingyang shouted, pulled Cuicui and ran.
"Chase!" Seeing Zhu Mingyang escaping, the leader immediately summoned his subordinates and immediately followed.
Zhu Mingyang held Cuicui's hand tightly, and he didn't know the direction he was running, he ran when he saw the road, he didn't know how long he had been running, but seeing that there was actually a dead end in front of him, Zhu Mingyang turned around and saw that a few big men behind him had blocked the exit of the alley. I didn't expect to run around just now, and I actually ran a dead end, it seems that today is a catastrophe.
"We have no grievances and no hatred, let's not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, how much do you say, make a price." Zhu Mingyang wondered if these people were running for their own money.
"No, no, no. We just need to lend you the head. After speaking, the leader raised the steel knife,
"Brother Zhu!" Cuicui hurriedly blocked in front of Zhu Mingyang.
"He pulled away, Lao Tzu will never kill women in his life." The leader let his subordinates pull Cuicui away and raised the steel knife in his hand.
"Uhh Just as the leader raised the steel knife and was about to cut down, a red shadow flew in front of Zhu Mingyang's eyes, except for Chen Shuozhen, Zhu Mingyang had never seen such a fast body, and when Zhu Mingyang fixed his eyes to see the person clearly, a sword had been pressed against the leader's throat.
"Big brother!" But I saw the younger brother behind him surrounding him.
"Get out of here with your guys!" The red shadow spat out a few words, each of which was chilling.
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go! After the leader finished speaking, he took a group of little brothers and left.
"Thank you, girl, for saving your life!" Zhu Mingyang saw that the leader was gone, and hurriedly pulled Cuicui forward to thank him.
"Be careful when you go out in the future." The woman said proudly and patted the dust off her body.
Zhu Mingyang hurriedly took the opportunity to look up, but this look made Zhu Mingyang a little moved. But I saw that this woman was about the same height as herself, and her black hair was coiled like a protruding hill above her head. Guazi has a pair of big eyes on his face, his eyes are full of unruliness, long eyelashes under his curved eyebrows, and a red Luo skirt is clinging to his body but can't hide his charming figure and slender thighs. Occasionally, a majestic wind blows, and a faint fragrance blows to the face.
"I don't know the girl's name, I will repay it slowly in the future." The other party has always saved himself, he should still go through the motions, thinking of this, Zhu Mingyang took a deep look.
"I didn't expect you, a poor scholar, to repay your kindness." The woman inserts her dagger into her scabbard.
The girl laughed. Zhu Mingyang responded politely.
"Alright! It doesn't hurt to tell you, my name is Xu Yue'er. The woman replied haughtily.
"My name is Zhu Mingyang, I now live in Chang'an West City, and I will repay the girl's kindness in the future." Zhu Mingyang saw that Xu Yue'er was so arrogant, so he pulled Cuicui and prepared to go home, so as not to cause any trouble.
"Childe is leaving like this?" Just as Zhu Mingyang was about to leave, Xu Yue'er's questioning voice came from behind.
"Girl, what else do you want?" Zhu Mingyang turned around and asked.
"I'm wandering here, I'm running out of entanglements, give me some of your entanglements, and repay me!" Xu Yue'er was very direct and did not detour.
"You ......" Zhu Mingyang didn't expect that there would be such a cheeky person, although he saved himself, he shouldn't be so direct.
"Brother Zhu, I see that the night is already very late, since this sister saved us, let her rest in our house, anyway, there are so many empty rooms at home, can't you get up tomorrow and get some plates for her." Cuicui saw that Zhu Mingyang was about to have a seizure, so she hurriedly came out to play a round.
"It's still this sister who is sensible, not only good-looking, but also good-hearted. Unlike some people, others saved him, but treated others as enemies. Xu Yue'er held the sword and teased Zhu Mingyang.
"You ......" Zhu Mingyang pointed his finger at Xu Yue'er, but saw Cuicui shake his head and withdrew his finger. Xu Yue'er strode towards Chang'an West City with a sword......
