Chapter 17: The Wine Prayer Festival (1)

Since he was taken captive by Qi Yu to the mountains last time and came back, Qi Yu has come to Wutong Garden from time to time to stroll around, and say a few words when he has nothing to do, which makes Xu Momo worry every day, for fear of saying something wrong and annoying this ice lump.

In the past few days, Qi Yu has come less, as if something has happened in the palace.

Xu Momo didn't care, it was none of her business.

Grinding left and right, Xiaoxiao finally agreed to take Xu Momo to the street.

--Street--

"Wow, this capital is really not built." Xu Momo couldn't help but sigh at the bustling and lively city of Beichuan Capital, probably Chang'an City, which was prosperous at that time, was nothing more than that, it seems that all aspects of this world are still quite advanced and developed.

"Xiaoxiao, does Chuyue like to come out to play? What does she usually do? Xu Momo saw that Xiaoxiao didn't seem to see such a scene often, but she was already in the capital, so it should be that the early moon didn't come out often.

"My lady and I live in Liangzhou all the year round and don't come to the capital often. Liangzhou is located in a desert land, there is nothing to play, and the young lady generally studies martial arts at home and manages the affairs of the pavilion. Xiaoxiao watched the people coming and going in the capital, and couldn't help but remember what Chu Yue had said: When the big thing is completed, he will retire to the rivers and lakes to find a prosperous place to live in peace.

Now, when I first went to the capital, I have accumulated reserves for many years, and I see that I can make a move soon, but the whereabouts of the young lady are unknown.

"Xiaoxiao, don't worry, Chuyue will definitely be able to come back, before that, if there is anything you need me for, I will definitely try my best to help you." Xu Momo knew that his arrival disrupted their plans, although he didn't mean it, but after all, he couldn't bear it, they were still eighteen or nineteen years old, but they were burdened with too much hatred and resentment.

"Thank you." Xiaoxiao didn't have any ill will towards Xu Momo, and after getting along for a while, she felt that Xu Momo was a very good person. It even often reminds her of what she looked like when she was a child, when there was no hatred, they were all ordinary girls.

"Okay, don't think about it, it's finally out. Let's have some fun. Xu Momo took Xiaoxiao's hand, "Let's go, let's go to the front, it's so lively in front." ”

"Eun."

Two beautiful young women ran hand in hand to the crowd in front of them, each with their own beauty, causing many people to turn around and stop.

"Uncle, what's going on? Why are there so many people? The two of them really couldn't squeeze in, so Xiaoxiao wittily grabbed a vendor who was setting up a stall next to him and asked.

"Oh, you don't know this, tonight is the Wine Prayer Festival, and there will be a lantern festival at night, and now everyone is rushing to buy their favorite lamps."

"Wine prayers?"

"That's right, this wine prayer festival is a traditional festival in our Beichuan country, every year on the seventh day of the ninth month, there will be a few streets in the more prosperous areas of various places to hold lantern festivals. Young men and women can buy a lamp they like, and when they visit the lantern festival, they can write their age on the lamp in their hand and give it to their favorite person. If the two are in love, the man can ask the matchmaker to come to the door according to the address. ”

"Isn't this a blind date meeting for 10,000 people?" Xu Momo was amazed by the direct method of the ancients, which must be the envy of many single dogs in modern times.

"Blind date?" The peddler wondered.

"Ah, it's fine. So what does this have to do with wine? Xu Momo immediately diverted the topic.

"Oh. At the beginning of this wine prayer festival, it was actually a wine exhibition held by wine merchants from all over the world who came to Beijing, and later, because they were all young and promising people, it slowly evolved into what it is now. ”

"That's right. Okay, thank you, uncle. ”

"Eh, two girls, buy a lamp. A beautiful woman like you two will definitely be able to find someone you like tonight, and many rich sons will come to participate tonight. ”

Only then did Xu Momo and the others see the dazzling array of lanterns behind the uncle.

Xu Momo smiled, motioned for Xiaoxiao to pay, and picked two lamps at random.

There was still a period of time before it got dark, and the street was crowded, so Xu Momo took Xiaoxiao to a restaurant to rest, and by the way, he had something to eat to replenish his strength.

"Little Er, upstairs private room." Xiaoxiao directly took Xu Momo to the second floor and beckoned the shopkeeper to order.

"Come on, two people upstairs." The shopkeeper settled down Xu Momo and the others, and went downstairs to order.

"Two beautiful girls, your dish is here." Chu Feng pushed open the door of the private room with a face that fascinated thousands of girls.

"Chu Feng?" Xiaoxiao was the first to react, and it could be seen that she was very dissatisfied with Chu Feng's sudden appearance.

"Oh, Xiaoxiao, don't be so excited." Chu Feng knew that he would inevitably be punished by Xiaoxiao.

"Miss said that you are not allowed to leave Dashang without permission, you appear in Beichuan Capital so blatantly, if..."

"Xiaoxiao - a girl's mother-in-law, mother-in-law is easy to get married." Chu Feng didn't know if he could see Xiaoxiao's anger now, and he was still touching the scales.

"You...... According to the rules, if you leave your post without permission, you must ......"

|“ What do you want, I'm the right star lord of the Dark Moon Pavilion, I... My officer is older than you. ”

"You, I have the right to punish you according to the regulations, this is set by Miss."

"Miss, isn't the Moon Lord here, besides, the Little Moon Lord knows about my coming to Beichuan, right, the Little Moon Lord." Chu Feng was really thick-skinned, regardless of Xiaoxiao's anger at him, he stomped his feet, and sat next to Xu Momo with a stool on his own.

Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Momo and sat down angrily.

"Miss, look at him." Xiaoxiao didn't tell Chu Feng about Chuyue and Xu Momo, and in front of Chu Feng, he had to admit that the person in front of him was the real Chuyue, and the things in the capital were changing rapidly, and there was no room for extraneous branches.

"Lord Xiaoyue, don't listen to Xiaoxiao. Quick, taste, these are all dishes I make with my own hands, and they are all what you like to eat. Chu Feng vigorously put vegetables into Xu Momo's bowl, but he didn't dare to look at her, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that his little moon lord would be angry that he had stayed in the capital for so long.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be angry. I do know about Chu Feng's affairs in the capital, but, Chu Feng, if you can't say why you come, I won't stop you, Xiaoxiao will come according to the rules. ”

"Don't, don't. Of course, I came to Beichuan because of important things. ”

"What's important?" Xu Momo asked.

"Uh, I'm ......"

"Wait, tomorrow I will go to Yunyin Pavilion and say, here, it's not safe." Xiaoxiao interrupted Chu Feng's words.

Yes, in this capital, the only place that can really be used for communication for them is Yunyin Pavilion.

"Okay, let's talk about something else." Xu Momo said.

"Huh? What is it? Lantern? Are you going to go to the Lantern Festival? I'm going too. Chu Feng reached out and picked up the lanterns of the two, "Oops, it's so ugly." What kind of vision do you have? Chu Feng pinched the lantern with great disgust and threw it aside.

Xu Momo and Xiaoxiao rolled their eyes tacitly.

The three of them had been chatting in the restaurant, and before they knew it, it was getting dark, and night was falling in an instant.

"Let's go out for the lantern festival, heck, I don't have a handsome lantern yet. Let's go, Lord Xiaoyue, first accompany me to buy a lantern worthy of my appearance. ”

"That's it, not that ugly lamp." Xiaoxiao's eyes were sharp-eyed, and Chu Feng's hands trembled when she said a word.

"Haha, Xiaoxiao is right, where is there such an ugly lamp." Xu Momo happily agreed.

The three of them talked and laughed, and left the private room and went downstairs.

In the private room next door, Zhan Yi watched his prince's face become darker and darker, and he didn't dare to say more. Originally, I went to the restaurant to connect with the informant, but I heard that there was an abnormality on the prince's side, but I didn't expect the informant to be assassinated and didn't come. But I heard the movement in the private room next door.

Qi Yu didn't say a word from beginning to end, but the air around him was getting colder and colder.

Qi Yu suddenly got up and walked out.

"Lord Wang?" Zhan Yi didn't know what to say.

"Go to the lantern festival."

"Huh?" If you fight, you will be shocked, you know, on weekdays, the prince will never go to such a noisy place.
