The lantern festival is held in the downtown area of South Street, which has a naturally formed lake and a small island in the center of the lake.

The richest man in the capital, Nangong family, paid to buy this small island, built a restaurant on it, the guests who want to pass have to take a boat across the lake by the lake, this restaurant is called the lake center building, every day want to come to this restaurant to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the guests are too many to count, so you must make an appointment in advance.

Lu Linlang took the Xu family's carriage to the lake, the sky had already darkened, the stalls and vendors were ready, the streets by the lake were full of people, and it was already very lively before it got dark.

The streets are covered with lanterns from trees to railings, and some shops simply set up a lantern stand in front of their doors, and the various lanterns are very beautiful when they fall down.

"Wow, so many lanterns." Lu Linlang couldn't help but sigh, Xu Qingyue's face also showed a look of surprise, and then pointed in the direction of the center of the lake, "Miss Lu, look there." ”

The island in the middle of the lake has long been lit up with lanterns, and all of them are larger than usual, and on the ridge of their eaves, lanterns of various colors are dotted on it, and it looks like a fairyland from a distance.

"If only I could go to the island in the middle of the lake today." Xu Qingyue looked at the direction of the island in the middle of the lake, there was a bit of expectation in her eyes, Lu Linlang blinked, "Then it's over, there is a boat next to it, let's go over and ask." ”

"You have to make an appointment in advance to go to the island in the middle of the lake, today is the lantern festival, and there are more people going, so forget it." Xu Qingyue shook her head, there was a little disappointment in her eyes, but Murong Zheng took a step forward, "I have already made an appointment, and that ship is waiting for us." ”

Lu Linlang looked at him with a surprised face, he was even ready for this kind of preparation, and vaguely felt that something big was going to happen tonight, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity, looking at such a beautiful island in the middle of the lake from a distance, she also wanted to go up and find out.

The boat is not big, the three of them just sat down, Xu Qingyue sat in the cabin, Lu Linlang stood on the deck outside, the wind at night was a little cool, blowing on the face was very comfortable, Lu Linlang felt like he was flying in the sky at the moment, and couldn't help but open his arms, as if he wanted to hug the spring breeze.

But the surface of the lake seemed calm and waveless, but there were some undercurrents underneath from time to time, and the boatman looked at something wrong, and warned him to be careful while paddling.

Lu Linlang didn't react yet, she only felt that the hull of the boat shook violently, and she was about to fall into this bottomless lake, but fortunately there was a railing next to her, and she hurriedly reached out and grabbed it to stabilize her figure.

"Ah--!h Suddenly, she heard an exclamation behind her, she hurriedly turned around, and saw that Xu Qingyue was at the door of the cabin, her body was shaking, and she was about to fall to the side, but a big hand next to her reached over and firmly grabbed her arm, and took her to lean against the door of the cabin before she stood firmly.

Murong Zheng frowned slightly, and looked up at Lu Linlang while holding Xu Qingyue, and was relieved to see that she had already stood firm holding on to the railing next to her.

"Thank you, Brother Murong." The temperature of the man's palm was terrifying, almost reaching the skin through the clothes on his body, Xu Qingyue was slightly stunned and retracted his hand, but Murong Zheng didn't think much about it, only said lightly, "Miss Xu is still sitting in the cabin, don't come out and walk around." ”

"I saw Miss Lu standing alone in the bow of the boat and wanted to warn her that she was in danger." Xu Qingyue lowered her head, her face was already flushed, and the moment Murong Zheng grabbed her, she felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat.

"My sister is naughty, I'll teach her a few sentences." After Murong Zheng finished speaking, he walked towards Lu Linlang, the waves under the boat had not stopped, Lu Linlang didn't dare to let go, and when he saw Murong Zheng walking towards her with a calm face, there was a faint feeling in his heart that he couldn't speak.

"Are you alright?" Murong Zheng walked up to her and glanced at the lake below, "This place is too small, it's not safe for you to stay here, go and stay in the cabin." ”

"I want to see the scenery blowing here, I'll pay attention to it myself, don't worry." Thinking that Murong Zheng was only caring about supporting Xu Qingyue just now, and didn't care about her life or death here, Lu Linlang felt that he was faintly a little pantothenic acid in his heart.

But after thinking about it, after all, he likes Miss Xu, so of course he had to show himself at this time, so he forgave him.

Murong Zheng glanced at her and didn't say anything, but he didn't turn around and go back, but stood here with her, a light breeze blew, bringing up his hair, and at this moment he looked a little soft in the night.

The boat docked on the island in the middle of the lake, Lu Linlang turned around and went to the cabin to pull Xu Qingyue out and set foot on the island together, the beautiful scenery that was originally seen across a large lake is now in front of him, and it feels a little unrealistic.

"Murong!"

Lu Linlang and Xu Qingyue were still immersed in the beautiful scenery around them, when they heard a familiar voice, Nangong Yu was on the second floor of the Huxin Building, saw Murong Zheng's figure, and called his name upstairs.

"This is a friend of my eldest brother, who is quite rich." Lu Linlang whispered to Xu Qingyue about Nangong Yu.

"I'll go talk to him first, you guys go around first, don't go far." Murong Zheng dropped a sentence, raised his feet and walked into the Huxin Building, Lu Linlang and Xu Qingyue were happy, and they walked around before coming back satisfied.

After all, it's just a small island in the middle of the lake, there is a place, and the rest of the place is not big after the restaurant is built, and the two of them quickly finished turning around, and returned to the lobby, which was empty and there was not a single guest.

"Hey, I thought there would be a lot of guests here, it's a lantern festival today, and no one has booked in advance?" Xu Qingyue was slightly stunned, but Lu Linlang suddenly remembered what Murong Zheng had told her before.

Could it be that he just wanted to let himself wait in this place with Xu Qingyue, what were their plans? Will there be any danger?

After learning that this restaurant was also Nangong's family, Lu Linlang dispelled this idea, and could make Murong Zheng a good friend, although this Nangong Yu looked a little hanging, but his character should not be bad.

"The lantern festival hasn't started yet, you two will rest here for a while, and Nangong and I will go out to do some errands." Murong Zheng and Nangong Yu came down from upstairs and looked at Lu Linlang with a little meaning in their eyes.

Lu Linlang suddenly became nervous, she turned her head to look at Xu Qingyue beside her, and asked her opinion, Xu Qingyue nodded, "Okay, anyway, you can see the scenery on the street here, there are not so many people here, it's more clean." ”

"Okay, then we'll stay here for now." Lu Linlang nodded, and suddenly saw Nangong Yu winking at her, this young man looked strangely handsome, but he was too unorthodox, she didn't think she saw it and turned her head.

Murong Zheng and Nangong Yu left the restaurant, and Xu Qingyue completely relaxed, "Miss Lu, let's go upstairs and have a look, I heard that this restaurant has seven floors, and you can see the whole picture of the lantern festival upstairs." ”

"Okay, let's go up." It is not easy to build a high-rise building in ancient times, not to mention that on this island in the middle of the lake, it is even more difficult to transport materials and build it again, no wonder I saw this restaurant so beautiful on the street next to it just now, and I don't know how much financial, material and manpower Nangong's family has spent.

On the other side, Su Liuli had already taken her special carriage to South Street, and there were a lot of places next to it where the carriage was parked, and some official ladies saw Su Liuli's carriage waiting on the side of the road from a distance.

As soon as Su Liuli came, they immediately surrounded them, "Wow, is this the county lord's new clothes?" It's so beautiful, I've never seen the county lord wear it before. ”

"Yes, yes, this color and style are a perfect match for the county lord!"

"If you want me to say that it's not that this dress is good-looking, it's that the county lord is born beautiful, and good-looking people look good in anything!"

A group of women chattered around and chattered non-stop, Su Liuli was originally not satisfied with this dress, because she had already seen the drawings drawn by Lu Linlang, compared to the dress designed by Lu Linlang, the set sent by the Shen family was much inferior.

But hearing the compliments of these young ladies, Su Liuli's mood also improved a lot, "Okay, okay, everyone is here to enjoy the lanterns today, don't just stare at me alone." ”

"Isn't that Miss Li? The clothes on her body ......" As soon as Su Liuli's words fell, she heard someone next to her whispering something, she immediately turned around and saw another carriage parked behind her, and Li Ruohong was walking out of the carriage.

Since the last time Li Ruohong wore a dress specially made for her by Lu Linlang and was outside for a while, everyone would see her at first glance at what she was wearing.

Li Ruohong wore the dress that was torn by Su Liuli last time, Lu Linlang changed it into a set of pants for her, and today happened to be out to enjoy the lantern festival, so it was inevitable to walk, and the pants were more convenient.

She remembered Lu Linlang's instructions, and simply combed a high ponytail, and the scholar generally wore a hair crown, and his face was just a light makeup, and he jumped lightly from the carriage, and he had a heroic spirit.

"That's actually Miss Li, don't you think it's the son of the family? is so handsome and chic, isn't she a woman? How can you dress up like this? ”

"Who says women can't dress like that? I've seen other women wear pants, but they don't look as good as Miss Li's......"

The topic of discussion among the ladies around her instantly shifted from Su Liuli to Li Ruohong's body, Su Liuli frowned, and watched Li Ruohong stride over from the side.

Li Ruohong quarreled with Su Liuli on the street last time, and was taken back by Commander Li to punish the ancestral hall where she knelt all night, so she also learned to be smart, and she had to save more face for Su Liuli in a place where there were many people outside, and the well water would not violate the river water, so as not to go back and be punished.
