Time flickered, but it was the day of the Lantern Festival.

If the Spring Festival is a day when relatives are eager to reunite and look forward to the new year, then the Lantern Festival is the festival that young men and women are most looking forward to. This night, the boys and girls in the capital will dress up carefully, go out to enjoy the lanterns, if you are lucky, you can also meet your sweetheart, and achieve a marriage, isn't it beautiful.

As soon as night came, Chu Yueyun couldn't wait to pull Chu Yue'an and Chu Yuexi out of the house, the three sisters all carried a rabbit lantern in their hands, and walking on the street hand in hand was also a beautiful scenery, attracting the attention of pedestrians.

There are many pedestrians on this street, all kinds of lanterns are hung on both sides of the street, the capital is dressed up brightly, the laughter of children, the selfish desires of women, and the loud voices of men, it is indeed a good scene of prosperity.

Chu Yueyun first bought three river lanterns, and the three of them came to the river to put the river lanterns and make a wish.

Chu Yueyun said with a grin: "I don't have any other wishes, I just hope that my mother can give birth safely and add a younger brother to me." ”

She turned her head to look at Chu Yue'an and Chu Yuexi and asked, "What wish did you make?" ”

"If the wish is useful, what else do you want to work on?" Chu Yue'an said lightly, "If you want to say a wish, I hope we can all be safe." ”

She died once, and naturally knew that there was nothing more important than peace, and that wealth and glory in front of life were just a passing moment.

Chu Yue made a wish naturally hoping for a good marriage, but she was embarrassed to say it, and said with a light smile: "I hope that our Hou Mansion can prosper for a long time." ”

After putting out the river lanterns, the three of them were wandering on the street, and suddenly they only felt that the people around them were excited and ran forward, Chu Yueyun felt curious, and grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened?" Why are they all running? ”

"The richest man is throwing money in front, we're going to pick up money, you let go of me, or I won't be able to squeeze in front." The man said hurriedly.

Chu Yueyun smiled: "How about we also go and join in this fun?" ”

Feng Nan? Chu Yue'an looked at it from a distance, but he really saw that not far in front of him, someone was scattering copper coins under a five-story building. This high-rise building is decorated with golden brilliance, very magnificent, and below is a large square, after the people on the square saw the money, they were very grateful to this Feng Gongzi.

Chu Yue'an's eyes narrowed, Mu Xiu Yu Lin, the Feng family is indeed rich and rival the country, Qian Duo does not have many political resources in the imperial court, so high-profile, but it is a good thing? If it arouses jealousy, it is not impossible to go bankrupt.

The big guys seemed to know that Feng Gongzi was throwing money, and the people rushed here, and there were more and more people around, and they actually scattered the third sister.

The emotions of the people are too excited, a little slip is extremely prone to stampede accidents, if a few people die, then the Feng family is to blame, but Chu Yue'an is more worried about Yueyun now, so many people can't take care of her identity, if something really happens, she is only afraid that she will be involved.

Chu Yue'an pushed out of the crowd and stood on a high platform to look, but there were too many people, just like crossing the river, no matter what, he couldn't find the figures of the two younger sisters, and he didn't know where he was squeezed to.

"Second Miss Chu."

Chu Yue'an retracted his thoughts, lowered his eyes and looked at the warm-faced man below, frowning slightly: "You are Master Su?" ”

"You remember me." Su Hongshen smiled slightly, "I'm deeply honored." ”

Chu Yue'an jumped down from the high platform, tidied up the hem of her skirt, and said, "It's rude." Su Gongzi is still the young master of the secret realm, how can he not remember? I don't know if Su Gongzi also came to the capital, how to say that we also have a relationship, I should invite you to have a meal to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

"It's not too late." Su Hong smiled deeply, "I just didn't have dinner. ”

Hey, big brother, I'm just being polite.

"I should have had a meal with Master Su, but I went out with my two younger sisters, and now my two younger sisters have been scattered by this crowd, and I have to go to them, I'm afraid I can only change the day." Chu Yue said with difficulty, "I hope Master Su doesn't mind." ”

"That's okay, I'll let my people find it for you, they're the best at finding people." Su Hongshen waved his hand, and the two black shadows flew away, and Chu Yue'an didn't even see their backs clearly, and the two had disappeared into the vast sea of people.

"It's a light effort." Chu Yue'an is still relatively confident in her skills, but her light skills are still obviously not enough in front of these two people, "Su Gongzi's subordinates are really Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment, they are at least good at finding people, but now the streets are lively, they won't disturb the two young ladies Yaxing, they will protect it secretly, so you don't need to worry." Su Hongshen said, "I know that the mutton shabu on the street next door is not bad, why don't you go there to eat?" ”

You still don't know what politeness is, Chu Yue'an nodded: "No problem, Master Su, please." ”

The two walked to the mutton restaurant in Su Hongshen's mouth, Su Hongshen seemed to be very familiar with the boss here, and when he entered, he called: "Boss, it's the same." ”

Because everyone went to the street to shop for lanterns, there were not many customers in this store, Su Hongshen sat down at the table inside, and beckoned to Chu Yue'an: "Second Miss Chu's golden branches and jade leaves, don't you look down on this small shop?" Don't look at the shop small, but the taste is a must. ”

Chu Yue'an sat down and said with a smile: "Su Gongzi is not from the capital, so I didn't expect to be able to treasure the small shops in this remote corner." ”

"Don't forget what the secret realm is for." Su Hongshen smiled lightly, "What's more, my footprints have also traveled all over the great rivers of the Southern Tang Dynasty." ”

"The last time we met, I was in men's clothes, and I also wore makeup, and Su Gongzi was able to recognize me at a glance in the crowd this time, which is really amazing." Chu Yue'an smiled lightly, "The secret realm is unfathomable, Su Gongzi won't be using the secret realm to spy on me, right?" ”

"I know something about Miss Chu Er, I don't hide this, but the word surveillance is serious." Su Hongshen smiled lightly and handed Su Jiayu a pair of chopsticks.

Soon the boss came up to brush the pot, brought a few plates of mutton, a pot of wine, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su has been here several times, but it is the first time that I have seen you bring the girl over." ”

"Miss Chu and I are old acquaintances, and this time it can be regarded as a reunion after a long absence." Su Hong smiled deeply, "Boss, you just have to beckon the other guests to go, and we'll come by ourselves." ”

"Okay, Master Su, Miss Chu, use it slowly."

"I am well-informed in the secret realm and good at finding people, if I change my disguise, I don't know if Su Gongzi can deny it?" Chu Yue'an smiled lightly, her eyes rolled for a moment, "Since I met Su Gongzi, I want to make a deal with Su Gongzi." ”

"Tell me about it." Su Hong smiled deeply, "But the ugly words are in front, I don't do loss-making business." ”

Chu Yue'an didn't say anything, but took out something from her arms, her head lowered slightly, and when she raised it again, it made Su Hongshen take it aback, because the woman in front of her had completely become another person.

He asked in surprise, "Are you Second Miss Chu?" ”

Chu Yue'an immediately took off the human skin mask on his face and said with a smile: "It's indeed me." ”

"Fang is a trick? I didn't see any flaws. Su Hong said in surprise, "How did you do it as if you were a different person?" ”

Su Jiayu handed the human skin mask in his hand to Su Hongshen, and said with a light smile: "That's it." ”

"What is this?" Su Hongshen's media wrinkled even deeper, "I've never seen anything like this." ”

"This is a human skin mask, very close to human skin, and there are almost no flaws visible to the naked eye." Chu Yue'an said, "What the secret realm does is to spy on intelligence, the most important thing for people working underground is not to be exposed, if you have this human skin mask, it will be even more powerful for the secret realm, and it will also help protect the safety of your people." I can tell you the secret recipe for making a human skin mask. ”

"This is Miss Chu, is your condition? So what about your request? What do you want from me? Su Hongshen's expression was a little excited, if he had this human skin mask, it would indeed be of great benefit to spy on some more secret intelligence, and this thing could make the intelligence personnel of the secret realm more like entering a no-man's land, and everything in the world could be explored.

"Intelligence." Chu Yue'an said softly, "This world is very big, but I am like I am blind, I need your intelligence network, I need to allow myself to obtain more advanced and useful raw information, instead of others telling me their filtered information, which is more conducive to my decision." This request of mine is not a particularly difficult thing for you, and this transaction is not a loss for you, right? ”

Su Hong rubbed the human skin mask on his hand deeply, looked at Chu Yue'an and smiled slightly, with admiration in his eyes: "Second Miss Chu is really good at surprising people, I don't know how many skills you still have that we don't know?" ”

"Then go more." Chu Yue'an hugged his arms and said, "If we cooperate for a long time, you will slowly know in the future." ”

"Deal." Su Hongshen said without hesitation, he took off a token from his waist and pushed it in front of Chu Yue'an, "With this thing, any stronghold in the secret realm, you can know what you want to know." ”

"Thank you." Chu Yue'an accepted the token, "Su Gongzi, this friend, I made it." ”

"The lamb is cooked." Su Hongshen said, "Miss Chu, please." ”

Chu Yue'an sandwiched a piece of mutton, dipped it in the boss's secret dipping sauce, tasted it, nodded and praised: "It's really delicious." ”

As he spoke, a burst of screams erupted outside, and pedestrians on the street ran one after another, only to hear someone shouting: "Dead man, dead man!" ”

What's going on?

Chu Yue'an hurriedly put down his chopsticks and went out to check, and said to Su Hongshen: "I have to go find my two younger sisters, this meal Master Su can take care of himself, tomorrow here and now, let's meet again." ”

It is not as expected by Chu Yue'an, it is true that there was a stampede, it is said that it is because Feng Nan is throwing money here, and on a seven-story pagoda outside the palace, the queen mother and the emperor appeared at the same time to pray for the blessing of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but there was news of assassins, the news spread to the square here one after another, the people were frightened and ran away, and the person who accidentally fell was trampled to death.

Just when Chu Yue'an had no clue, she saw a figure flying in front of her, hugged her fists and said: "Second Miss Chu doesn't need to worry, the two young ladies are safe now, please come with the villain." ”

While speaking, the man in black hurriedly walked forward, Chu Yue'an followed, passed through the bustling crowd, and after turning two streets, he found Chu Yueyun's figure by the window of a restaurant, and there was another person beside him, Shen Yimei. I'm afraid that after they discovered the movement below, they went to the restaurant to hide.

"Thanks for leading the way." When Chu Yuean was about to say thanks, the man in black behind her was gone, and this figure that came and went without a trace once again amazed her.

Chu Yue went up to the restaurant and called, "Yueyun." ”

Chu Yueyun hurriedly turned around, trotted a few steps and grabbed her hand: "Where did the second miss go?" But I'm worried to death, are you okay? ”

Chu Yue'an looked at the scratches on her hands and her wrists were swollen, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"After being dispersed by the crowd, I fell and was stepped on, thanks to Miss Shen's timely arrival, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!" Chu Yueyun said.

Chu Yue'an checked Chu Yueyun's injury, it was no big deal, and said, "Just give you some medicine when I go back." ”

She glanced at Shen Yimei again, and saw that there were several scars on her face, which did not look like new injuries, and asked suspiciously, "Miss Shen, who are you?" ”

Shen Yimei didn't hide it, and said lightly: "I had a fight with my stepmother, this Chinese New Year, she just tried her best to come up with a moth, and actually took a fancy to someone else's dowry and wanted to marry me to fill the house, the key is that the person is almost fifty years old!" Naturally, I couldn't get angry, so I ran to ask her why she didn't marry her own daughter, and she cried, made trouble, and hanged herself in front of her father, saying that I was bullying her, so I simply didn't do anything, and beat their mother and daughter in front of my father, but I also fell a little injured. ”

Chu Yueyun gave a thumbs up: "Good courage, didn't your father say anything?" ”

"What can he do, naturally he will play fifty boards each!" Shen Yimei said lightly, "No matter what, at any time, he still defends me." ”

Chu Yue'an suddenly thought: "What about the fifth sister?" ”

"Scattered together." Chu Yueyun said, "I was going to look for it, but how do you go there when you look at the movement below?" ”

For Chu Yue, Chu Yueyun has never liked her, but sometimes she is a little pitiful and unbearable, but from the bottom of her heart, she still looks down on her a little bit, and has never regarded her as a real sister.

"It's too chaotic outside, you guys are here, I'll go find her." Chu Yuean said.

"How do you get out?" Shen Yimei objected, "You also saw the situation outside, it's a mess." Isn't it dangerous for you to go out? ”

"Don't worry, I'll take care of myself." Chu Yue'an said, "I am their elder sister, so I am naturally obliged to bring the two younger sisters back completely." ”

Chu Yue'an didn't go down to squeeze with the chaotic crowd, but went up to the roof and ran on the roof to find Chu Yuexi's whereabouts.

For Chu Yue'an, she doesn't have much pity for Chu Yuexi, although Chu Yuexi has done some things to hurt her in the past, but her background is also relatively pitiful, in the end, she still has some sympathy for her, it is impossible to treat Chu Yueyun as her own, but she still has to ensure her thoughtfulness.

After searching two streets in a row, many of the people below had already returned to their homes, and the rest of the people had calmed down a lot. Under a willow tree, she found Chu Yuexi's trace, only looking at what she was talking to with a man who looked like a scholar at her moment, there were tears on her face, which should be because she was frightened.

At this time, she saw a team of guards in armor riding by, and the leader was the King of Jin, looking at their serious looks, could it be that this assassin was true?

Chu Yue'an hid in the dark for a while, and her sneaky appearance at this moment was seen by others, so she would inevitably have a little more trouble.

After knowing that King Jin's men and horses had left, Chu Yue'an flew down from the eaves, came to Chu Yuexi's body, and said, "So you are here." ”

Chu Yue looked at Chu Yue'an's figure, and unconsciously tears came out, she said aggrievedly: "Where did you go?" I can't find you, I'm scared. ”

"Are you alright?" Chu Yue'an asked.

"It's fine." Chu Yuexi shook her head gently, "Thanks to this son's help." ”

Chu Yue'an glanced at the scholar, but his eyebrows were clear, and he arched his hand: "Thank you for this son, I don't know what to call it?" ”

"Under the surname Yu Minghao feast." The man returned the salute with a fist.

Yu Haoyan? Chu Yue'an was a little familiar with this name when she heard it, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, Chu Yuan said that he had taken a fancy to a student and wanted to recruit Chu Yue as a quick son-in-law, isn't this person called Yu Haoyan?

"You're a good fate."

Chu Yuexi also knew his identity, and his eyes were shy.

Chu Yue'an said again: "Yu Gongzi, I am Chu Yue'an, the second lady of Ninghou Mansion, this fifth lady of Ninghou Mansion Chu Yuexi, I heard my father mention your name, he often praises you for being knowledgeable, and this year Enke will definitely be able to be named on the gold list." ”

"It turned out to be the two young ladies of Ninghou Mansion, and they were polite." Yu Haoyan said modestly, "Master Hou praises falsely, I really dare not be ashamed." ”

"There's nothing you dare to do, Enko is coming, we'll see your results." Chu Yuean said with a smile, "It's not too early today, we're going back to the house, if there is fate, he will see you again one day." ”

"Two young ladies, please." Yu Haoyan took a step back and arched his hand.
