At the beginning of the day, the city is full of lively scenes.

The people of the city are all from their homes. Come out and walk the streets. South Street and North Lane, full of people everywhere, full of vitality.

It rained a few days ago, and the streets were deserted, and there were a lot fewer vendors doing business. If it is sunny today, and there is a festival once a month, everyone is riveting, wanting to earn it a lot of money at this time to make up for the loss a while ago.

At this time, whether it is a dignitary or a nobleman, they will come out to take a look, take a dip in this lively day, and find a happy time.

And the hawkers are most willing to meet the sons and ladies of these rich families. They don't go out much on weekdays, and the outside world is relatively new to them, and the novelties they haven't seen before are enough to arouse their curiosity, so as to make a business.

At this time, they will not worry that their things will not be sold, after all, ordinary people may think that things that are not new, in the eyes of these young ladies and gentlemen, it is different.

It was getting late, the sun had already disappeared, the stars were slowly appearing, and Yue'er also poked out half of her head, looking at the scene outside.

The streets are full of traffic, and although they are very lively, they are still orderly, and everyone is not crowded. Such an event is held every month, and the prefect has always attached great importance to the safety of the people, so on the day of the festival, many guards will be sent to guard it to ensure the order of the streets and the safety of the people.

But this month, for some reason, the guards sent by the prefect were much fewer than before. The explanation given by the prefect is that the guards in the palace have other things to do in the near future, and they cannot spare so many manpower to assist in the activities for the time being, so they only appeal to the people to be careful and not to go to too crowded places to join in the fun.

Some people listened to it, thinking in their hearts, and they didn't know if it was because of the gambling stone shop, the prefect rarely appeared in front of the public in recent days, and he didn't do anything, as if he had disappeared, and his style of acting was very low-key.

Although I had heard that the prefect made a special trip to apologize to the guests who were beaten in front of the prefect, this incident has already happened, and even if it is remedied afterwards, it will not have much effect.

At least for them, ordinary people, it is not convincing enough. The matter of the gambling stone shop, the prefect did not show up to give everyone an explanation, so it can be seen that this matter is still a problem on the prefect's side after all. Otherwise, by this time, he would not have come out to give any explanation, and who would believe that he had done nothing?

On this festival, the prefect released such a statement, although the people complained a lot, but they couldn't say anything in the end. After all, this matter was originally handled by the prefect, and if someone became the shopkeeper, others couldn't say anything, right?

Could it be that they can still come to the door to crusade against the prefect and make him responsible? They didn't want to be beaten up by the guards in front of the prefect's house like those guests. Speaking of which, they really suffered a big loss.

But if this is the case, once there is something wrong during the festival, it will be serious. But the prefect said so, and everyone had no choice but to give up and follow the arrangement. After all, no matter what people say, they are all prefects, aren't they? It's not something they can question casually.

However, after the gambling stone shop and the guests were beaten, many people have a new definition of the image of the prefect. Maybe the prefect is not as gentle as he seems, otherwise, how could he do such a thing?

Could it be that everything before was all pretended by him? If this is the case, how deep is the mind of this prefect, just thinking about it makes people feel terrible.

Although the number of people sent by the prefect is much smaller than in the past, this does not prevent the hawkers from coming out to do business, they should set up stalls, and they should shout or shout.

This kind of day when they can earn the most silver once a month, how can they, who are doing business, want to miss it?

Everyone is not a child anymore, and it is not very difficult to pay attention to your own safety. If it is a family with small children, isn't there nothing wrong with the family watching a little?

Most people are still a little unimpressed by this matter. As long as it doesn't affect their business and doesn't affect the travel of others, there is no problem.

It was a little darker and the streets were brightly lit with more people from their homes. Come out, walk to South Street North Lane, and start participating in the evening activities.

After dark, there will be not only lantern riddles, but also beautiful fireworks.

Because of the rain, many people rarely come out of their homes, if it is sunny today, and it is a lively festival, they are naturally willing to come out to see the excitement.

After all, ordinary people have no fun to eat on weekdays.

The street was full of people, a girl in blue appeared from one end of the corner, her steps were brisk, her skirt was flying, her soft hair danced gently with her movements, the girl's energetic face was full of immaturity, and her face was full of interest. Let's have a book

The girl in blue was followed by a girl in pink, who seemed to be the same age as the girl in blue, with two cute double buns on her head, it seemed that she should be the maid of the girl in blue.

The girl in pink followed behind the girl in blue quickly, with a hint of anxiety on her round and lovely face, and she also called out in her mouth: "Miss, you wait for Lan Xin, slow down!" ”

But the girl in blue didn't seem to hear the call of the girl in pink, and she looked at the surrounding scene with cheerful steps and a pair of crystal eyes.

She turned around as she walked, beckoned to the pink-clothed girl behind her, who was already a distance away from her, and shouted, "Lan Xin, hurry up, why are you walking so slowly?" If this continues, Miss Ben won't wait for you! I heard that the fireworks are about to start, and Miss Ben is going to grab the best position! ”

When the girl in blue said this, there was a trace of impatience on her delicate face, obviously, she was in a hurry to see the fireworks at this time, but her little maid walked so slowly, which made her a little helpless.

She hadn't been out for a long time, and she had never participated in such a festival before, which was too novel and interesting for her.

No, today, looking for her father and mother are not at home when they go out to do errands, she found a way, avoided the sight of the people in the house, pulled her maid, and slipped out of the back door smoothly.

After all, if her father and mother are at home, she is categorically not allowed to go out casually, let alone play in a place with so many people, which is not in line with the rules of the family at all.

But these rules and regulations, she can abide by too many rules on weekdays, and she has long been impatient, but because of her father and mother, she can't refute it.

Now that she has seized such an opportunity, she naturally wants to come out and have enough!

Originally, Lan Xin's maid, she didn't plan to bring it out, but she had never done such a sneaky thing, and in the process of sneaking out, she was discovered by her own clever maid.

She said that she would go out no matter what she said, no matter how hard Lan Xin persuaded her, she couldn't listen to it.

On weekdays, she was disciplined by her father and mother strictly, but now she can finally be presumptuous, how can she give up? As long as she goes out to play for a while, and then sneaks back quietly, no one will find out when the time comes.

But Lan Xin already knew her plan, and in desperation, she finally reached a consensus with Lan Xin. Lan Xin can follow her, but she can't tell her father and mother about her sneaking out to play, otherwise, she won't want Lan Xin to be her personal maid.

Although Lan Xin was helpless, she had been by the eldest lady's side for a long time, so she naturally knew it very well. The eldest lady has always been well-behaved, but she is actually very stubborn in her bones, if she decides something good, even if it is nine cows, she will not be able to pull it back.

Anyway, as a little maid, she can't stop the eldest lady. In this case, she is bound to follow the eldest lady, otherwise if the people outside collide with the eldest lady, how should she explain to the lord and the lady when she turns around.

Lan thought about it for a while, but decided that no matter what, she would follow the eldest lady's side. The eldest lady is very well protected by the lord and the lady on weekdays, and if something happens, she doesn't dare to think about what will happen at all. Therefore, she must protect the safety of the eldest lady!

The girl in blue, that is, Li Qinghuan, didn't know that her maid had so many twisting thoughts and worries in her head, her mind was very simple, she came out tonight, she wanted to see the lively world outside, and after this festival, guess the lantern riddles, and take a look at the fireworks, she felt satisfied.

It wasn't a big deal in itself, as long as she was careful, it was fine.

When the time comes, I'll go back, and when my father and mother come back, she will act as if nothing happened, and everything will be as it was.

But Lan Xin, the little girl, had to follow her, although Li Qinghuan was helpless, she had no choice but to agree. After all, she came out by herself, and Lan Xin categorically couldn't agree. If she goes to her father and mother to complain at that time, then she will be miserable. If she is grounded at that time, she will not be able to breathe the fresh air outside for a long time.

Li Qinghuan felt that such a result was even more unacceptable to him, so he simply let Lan Xin follow. Anyway, as long as she follows her in an an, there will probably be no problem.

But at this moment, Li Qinghuan regretted it a little, Lan Xin's girl was so grinding that she couldn't keep up for half a day, and she was impatient to wait. Time waits for no one, the fireworks will start later, but she is rushing for the fireworks, she must see it!

Li Qinghuan thought about it, and simply turned around and walked towards the crowd first.

That's it, anyway, after a while, Lan Xin, this girl will naturally follow, she has always been like this.

Li Qinghuan didn't know that the moment he turned around, a man wearing a hat behind him quietly followed.
