A group of six people ran around for six or seven days, and finally saw the shadow of Jiankang Mansion, and the more they walked forward, the more sad Mu Qingyao's face became.

I left my hometown more than ten years ago, I had enough of sad tears, and I suffered all kinds of hardships, and now I have returned to my hometown with no relatives.

"Childe...... Where do you think my brother and sister will be? Could they be no longer alive? Mu Qingyao leaned weakly into Qin Fan's arms, tears gradually soaking his clothes.

"Qingyao, don't worry, when I have the ability in the future, I will do my best to help you find your relatives!"

Without any clues, Qin Fan could only give her a firm commitment to herself.

Coming to the northwest of Jiankang Mansion, a wide turquoise river enters the city from the northwest and slowly traverses the entire main city of Jiankang Mansion from east to west.

Outside the city, Li Ming said goodbye to Qin Fan: "Son, Jiankang Mansion is not far from Jingshi Lin'an Mansion, I am worried that I will be recognized here." So I want to take Xiaolian back to my hometown in the suburbs first, and I will wait for you at Qinhuai Restaurant in the city in a few days. ”

During the past few days on the road, Qin Fan continued to instill his thoughts to Li Ming and show his strength, coupled with Ji Bing's kindness of rescuing, Li Ming agreed to Qin Fan's invitation and returned to Datong Mansion with him. It's just that Li Ming's identity is still free at present, and his specific occupation cannot be seen.

"It's okay, then we'll make an appointment to see you at Qinhuai Restaurant in five days!"

Li Ming and Zhao Lian walked down the post road along the path, and Qin Fan and the four entered the city.

Jinling is indeed worthy of the holy land of literati, under the flowers and green willows everywhere, the poems left by the literati can be seen everywhere in the places of interest.

Although it was renamed Jiankang Mansion, Qin Fan still felt that Jinling was more in line with the temperament of this city. Entering the city, the southern classical style buildings abound, the two banks of the Qinhuai River carved beams and painted buildings, the wooden workshops are grouped, and the number of boat boats on the river is not very numerous.

The bluestone streets in all directions are full of people dressed in complicated clothes, there are countless people in gorgeous costumes, there are many shops on both sides of the street, taverns, inns, gambling houses, flower buildings are dazzling, and the vendors selling along the street shout words that Qin Fan does not understand.

But what is very characteristic is that the whole street is full of people hanging colorful and colorful lanterns of different shapes, which looks very festive.

"Wow! Lantern! What day is it? Mu Qingyao suddenly remembered something.

"The eighth day of April ......," Ji Bing said.

Mu Qingyao suddenly said excitedly when she heard this: "Ah! Childe, we came by such a coincidence! Today is the eighth day of April! ”

"What happened on the eighth day of April?" Qin Fan wondered.

"The eighth day of April is the annual Lantern Festival in Jiankang Mansion! There are a lot of people on this day every year, and it is more lively than the New Year! The government and major businessmen will organize a lightboat race on the Qinhuai River, and those famous literati will also compete on the Qinhuai River. There will be beautiful lanterns hanging in the streets and alleys, and there will be lantern riddles on the riverbank, as long as you guess the lantern riddles, there will be prizes. ”

"I see! What a coincidence, we seem to have a good eye at night......"

The four of them walked around the city for a long time, found a tavern and sat down, Qin Fan took out the copy of the note and frowned: "Although I have arrived at Jiankang Mansion now, there is no clue about this Lu Diaoying. ”

"Childe doesn't need to be sad, the tavern has always been well-informed, and there may be some information to ask later." Ji Bing said very experienced.

After a while, the shopkeeper trotted all the way over, wiped the white towel on his shoulder on the table, and said with a very professional smile: "What do a few guest officers eat?" ”

Qin Fan took out a tael of silver from his backpack and shook it in front of Xiao Er, which immediately attracted Xiao Er's attention, and he said, "Don't be busy with what to eat, let me ask you something, this silver is yours!" ”

"Alas, even if you ask, the little one must know everything, know everything!"

One or two pieces of silver can be regarded as a lot of money for ordinary NPCs, which provoked the shopkeeper to hurriedly echo it.

"Is there a person named Lu Diaoying in the city?"

"Lu Diaoying? I've never heard of this, but I've been working in this tavern for more than ten years, and I know everyone in the city who has a little name. What Childe is looking for should not be an ordinary person, right? ”

The second child of this shop is quite slippery when he speaks and sees things, and he is really mixed in a tavern, and his eyes are poisonous.

Qin Fan was a little disappointed, and asked again, "Then do you know what Yanyun is called?" Does the city have anything to do with these words? ”

"This ...... The little ones haven't heard of it either. The shopkeeper was a little depressed, seeing that the silver poured was about to fly.

Qin Fan was a little disappointed, this headless and uninterrupted poem was really impossible to start.

Throwing the silver to the shopkeeper, the four of them casually ordered some wine and food, Mu Qingyao comforted: "Childe doesn't need to worry too much, if we can meet tonight's Lantern Festival, it means that we have a fate, maybe we will find a clue in two days?" ”

Qin Fan smiled and nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank the high-grade Qin Huai brewing......

In the evening, the four of them came out of the inn, and the street was already crowded with people, and it was very lively. Colorful lanterns are hung on both sides of the river, both large and small, and their shapes are made according to the auspicious objects of flowers and birds, and they are painted with exquisite patterns and beautiful poems with paint.

The corridor along the river is the most lively, with hundreds of meters of colored silk tied up on the bank, and people hang small lanterns between the willow trees, each with a lantern riddle. In order to promote their own goods, merchants and benevolent gentlemen will prepare many small gifts, and visitors to the lantern festival can get gifts as long as they guess the lantern riddles correctly, and the more difficult the lantern riddles, the better the prizes.

The four of them walked to a row of lantern riddles, and an elderly man in Chinese costume who guarded the lantern said: "Young people, come and guess the lantern riddles, there will be prizes for guessing the lantern riddles, and you will have good luck this year!" ”

Qin Fan looked at the past with great interest, and one of the lantern riddles made him quite interested, only to see that he said: The Jurchen invaded the Song Dynasty and divided the north and south, and typed a word.

"Old gentleman, it seems that you are still a hot-blooded old man, aren't you afraid of the government's punishment for such a mystery?"

"Humph! Now that the northern Xinjiang is lost, Jinmeng has invaded in turn, and I am like a lamb to be slaughtered, and the imperial court still talks about peace and even has to pay taxes and tribute. All the money and food I draw are to oppress the poor people, and I have made this mystery lightly......"

"The old gentleman worries about the country and the people, and admires ...... in his later life"

When the old man heard that Qin Fan seemed to agree with his idea, his mood eased a lot, and then he said, "If Childe guesses this riddle, I will give Childe a good gift." ”

"Oh, really?" Qin Fan listened to the old man's words, and suddenly realized, could this be a task reward for the player?

"Childe, what is the answer to this mystery? Why didn't I think about it for a long time? Mu Qingyao stared at the lantern for a long time, but she really couldn't think of it.

"What about you?" Qin Fan looked back at Ji Bing and Li Yiyi, both of whom shook their heads.

"Haha!" Qin Fan said with a smile: "Actually, this mystery couldn't be simpler, it's all on top of this mystery, the Jurchen invasion of the Song Dynasty is divided into north and south, and the Jurchen invasion of the Song Realm is divided into half south and half north, isn't it just a case?" ”

"Case?"

"Case?"

"Ahh I see! ”

"Childe is really smart!"

When Qin Fan said this word, several people were stunned, and then suddenly realized.

"Haha! The son is so literate, the old man will give you this gift. ”

The old man in the Chinese costume was very happy, took out a square brocade box from his sleeve, and handed it to Qin Fan.

He immediately opened the box, and inside it turned out to be a piece of fan jade, engraved with four words: Ping An ticket number!

"it!"

Qin Fan suddenly burst into a foul mouth and looked at the old man with surprised eyes, but the old man made a gesture to silence him.

Qin Fan didn't expect this old man's identity to be so stubborn, what is the ticket number? That's an ancient bank, a financial unit authorized by the imperial court to issue a bank bill exchange business, in a word, there is money!

"No wonder this old man is so bold and openly abuses the court, feelings are the pillar industry of the country's economy......"

Now the player has less money, and he can't use the ticket number, and when the money is more, the gold and silver in the backpack have to be deposited into the ticket number to exchange for the transaction, that is, the silver ticket, and there is a handling fee for the exchange of silver tickets, and if you save money, you will have a meager bonus to get.

The death of gold and silver will burst out, but the silver ticket will not, and the ticket number will have to be dealt with in the future, and the attributes of this piece of jade are: holding the jade pass to exchange the silver ticket handling fee is 20% off, and the deposit bonus is 5%.
