Chapter 64: A Chance Encounter
Soon, the days of winter passed in a flash.
The New Year is approaching, and the capital is also lively. Tonight is the annual lantern festival, Shi Qingqian thought about the lantern festival scene described in the book, shoulder to shoulder, all kinds of lanterns can light up the sky, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
You must know that Shi Keke had promised a long time ago that he would take her out of the house tonight and go to the lantern festival to have a good time.
In order to go out to play, Shi Qingqian deliberately changed into a goose yellow bottom, embroidered trimmed with folded branches and dark floral dark flower robes, and a silver-red twig skirt with eight branches.
Jet-black shawl hair, with a chic bun of smoke and flowers. The little face like a goose egg is pink and lovely, and the two black eyes on the face are shining, and the whole person looks fairy and jade, as bright as spring.
Even Shi was really shocked when he saw his sister's dress, and he couldn't believe that this little beauty was his greedy little sister.
Shi Qingqian is already more than seven years old, and his height has also scurried up, and now his eyes have reached Shi Ke's waist. People who have been worried that she will grow horizontally are also a lot more relieved, in addition to the two naturally growing lumps of flesh on the face, the body shape is also well-proportioned, although the girl's body has not yet begun to develop, but at first glance, it really began to have the appearance of everyone's ladies.
"My son-in-law is really beautiful today." Shi Ke hugged Shi Qingqian with a smirk, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little face that had not been modified in the slightest, "Dressed up so well, what if you go out for a while and are seen by the sons of other families." β
Shi Qing pouted and rolled his eyes, his face was helpless and funny, his sister-controlled brother was really hopeless, "Qi'er is already good-looking, isn't it good-looking that day?" β
"Hahaha, my children look good every day, and today is especially good-looking."
Shi Ke rubbed her soft hair like a rabbit dotingly, his sister, he really couldn't get enough of it.
The brother and sister sat in the carriage and staggered towards Higashi. The lantern festival is mainly held in Dongshi, and although it is evening and the sky has not yet completely darkened, you can also see the dark purple gradually rising on the horizon. They went so early because Shi Qingqian couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and urged Shi Ke several times.
Halfway through the road, Shi Qingqian couldn't help but open the curtain and peek out secretly.
As soon as I glanced at it, I was shocked by the familiar and unfamiliar scenery in front of me. This is so different from the capital in her eyes in the past.
Vendors on the side of the road have come out of their stalls, sugar gourds, lanterns, masks, and all kinds of novelty knick-knacks on both sides of the avenue. Looking overhead, lanterns of various styles were hung all over the road, some of which had already been lit, and there was a faint glow under the dark yellow sky.
The light reflected in Shi Qing's dark pupils and hit her small face carved like mutton fat jade, which made Shi Ke look fascinated for a while.
With such a fool, he can't cheapen any stupid boy at will!
As soon as the carriage arrived at Tingyu Tower, Shi Qingqian couldn't wait to jump down.
Tingyulou is located in the center of the East Market, and when it comes to major festivals, famous nobles will invariably choose to settle here.
"Boy, run slower!" Shi Ke behind him was so worried that she would fall.
Shi Qingqian didn't stop, he ran forward, twisting his head, his face was full of ridicule at Shi Ke, "Brother, hurry up, I heard that the pastries in Yulou are also a must, hurry up!" β
Seeing Shi Ke's expression suddenly turn from helpless to frightened, the next second, Shi Qingqian felt pain in his head, only to feel that he had hit something, his body lost his balance, and he fell backwards uncontrollably.
In the eyes of others, you can only see the little girl running and crashing into the other party, but she was bounced away, but the other party did not move.
"Hmm......" Shi Qingqian struggled to stand up while holding his sore buttocks, but in the next second, he faced a pair of eyes like deep pools-
"Shen, Shen Shu!?"
As soon as Shi Ke, who came in a hurry, helped Shi Qingqian up, he quietly flashed behind her and gave Shen Shu a fist salute, "See Xiao Wang Ye Shen, Xiao Mei accidentally bumped into Xiao Wang Ye, and I ask Xiao Wang Ye Shen for forgiveness." β
Shen Shu is tall, today he is wearing a blue jacquard silk garden collar brocade robe, with a dark blue gold ribbon around his waist, the whole popularity is Yu Xuanang, I don't know, I thought it was a noble son who reported poetry and books, and Sven was elegant.
His phoenix eyes, which were as clear as lake water, gently swept over Shi Qingqi's body, and he flickered as if he had a little surprise, but soon, he focused his eyes on Shi Ke, slightly blessed, and greeted, "It's okay." β
"Tsk, it's still so precious to the words like gold." Shi Qingqian, who was hiding behind Shi Ke, muttered secretly.
She hadn't seen Shen Shu for a long time, and she couldn't care about sighing ingeniously at this time, but she was unconsciously attracted by Shen Shu's pretending to be old-fashioned, but well-dressed.
Even the shallow curvature of the corners of Shen Shu's lips was not noticed.
Shi Ke couldn't laugh, he knew that before he went out, he would have to inquire if Shen Xiao Wang Ye would come today, but he still felt in his heart that this Shen Xiao Wang Ye was 'plotting against his sister', so he unconsciously included him in the list of people who needed to be carefully guarded against.
"Lord Shen...... Also to see the Lantern Festival? Shi Ke asked tentatively.
There were no emotional ups and downs in Shen Shu's words, but the cold voice had an irresistible magnetism, "I'm leaving." β
Hearing this, the big stone in Shi Ke's heart just landed, and he wished he left early, "Then don't disturb Xiao Wang Shen, Xiao Sheng will take his little sister in first." β
After saying that, he hurriedly took Shi Qingqian's hand and walked quickly towards the Tingyu Building.
Shen Shu also took a step and left Tingyu Building.
Shi Qingqian still couldn't hold back, and cautiously twisted his head to look over.
The back is long and elegant, exuding a faint and indifferent atmosphere. The people around him went in or out, but they were all in groups of threes and threes, but Shen Shu was only followed by Changwu, and he was always one or two meters behind him. He walked out so lonely, out of step with the hustle and bustle around him and the warm yellow glow of the lanterns.
Suddenly, Shen Shu stopped, turned his head slightly, and glanced at Shi Qingqian deeply.
Shi Qingqian only felt that something exploded in his heart, and the flush quickly stained his cheeks. And that look disappeared very quickly, and in the next second, Shen Shu's back had slowly lost its outline, turning into a vague light blue, slowly blending into the withered yellow market......
"Why?" Feeling that Shi Qingqian's steps were a little faltering, Shi Ke slowed down and said with concern.
Shi Qing paused for a moment, came back to his senses and looked at Shi Ke in a daze, "Ah...... No, it's okay, brother, let's go in quickly. β
Shi Ke nodded, and led Shi Qingqian to continue walking inside.
Shi Qing stubbornly turned his head, wanting to continue looking for the lost back, but he could only see the darkness that was gradually suppressed, and his heart was empty, and he only felt that his thoughts had followed the figure away.
Out of his mind, a bright girl's voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Qingyi! Come hereβ"
