The sky is not dark, and the streets and alleys of Changzhou have been lit with lanterns.

The shops on both sides of the street had prepared their goods early, and the vendors who set up the stalls also came early to take up their positions. There are all kinds of lanterns between the eaves, just waiting for the sky to darken, and looking up is full of lights.

Unlike the stiffness of the glow emitted by the moonstone, this simple light has a temperature.

In the territory where the great families are located, there are one or two festivals every year that allow monks and ordinary people to enjoy together.

On that day, perhaps the daughters of the common people would have the courage to stuff handkerchiefs for the young monks, or perhaps the people who had just met could introduce each other as confidants, or perhaps ......

The more the family has a deep heritage, the more friendly it is to the ordinary people in its sphere of influence in a state of inviolability to the outside world.

For example, the Song clan will send disciples with good character to patrol the streets every year during the Lantern Festival to maintain the order of the Lantern Festival.

And every year, those handsome or beautiful male and female disciples will receive a lot of handkerchiefs or flowers during the lantern festival, which just proves the reputation of the Song family among the people.

Every night, a flower god will be elected, and after the twelfth flower god is elected, all the flower gods will go to the built kaleidostage to dance together, which will be a very beautiful feast.

Yin Zhen still didn't wait for the head of the family to come out, so he didn't come, Song Yu crossed his waist and muttered for a long time, and finally pouted, leading Jing Qingli and the others to the Drunken Immortal Tower.

Song Yu had already booked a box in Zuixian Building, and the box window was wide open, and it was facing the Baihua Terrace, which was the best place to watch the election of the god of flowers.

When they arrived, it was already dark, many boxes were crowded, and the hall was noisy and noisy, all discussing this year's flower god election.

There were already many people standing on the street, but it was not crowded, and everyone with lanterns would be empty around them. There are those who don't know the rules and rush forward, and they will be stopped if they don't take three steps. It's okay to stop and obey the rules, but if you still don't obey the rules, you dare to hand it over directly to the patrolling disciples.

Looking down from the upstairs windowsill, there are warm lights between the chaotic and orderly crowds, and the light mixed with the faint fragrance of flowers can directly warm people's hearts.

The crowd chattered and shouted one after another, and there were people who rode directly on the shoulders of their fathers and brothers, nibbling on the candy in their hands and laughing happily.

Xiao Junyu's mood was a little complicated when he faced Song Yu after learning about those things, but all his emotions were well controlled by him.

Song Yu was introducing the process of the Lantern Festival to a few people, and even Xiao Junyu, the young city lord who had experienced many barter conferences in Xuanji City, listened carefully and nodded from time to time.

In a short time, she had already talked about the election of the god of flowers, and was about to open her mouth when she heard a knock at the door. Song Yu glanced at the maid standing aside, and the maid went to open the door at her behest and found that the person who came was the family's guard.

"What's the matter?" Song Yu smiled apologetically at the others, and then turned to ask the guard.

"Miss, the eldest young master is back!"

The guard didn't have any expression on his face, as if he was reporting something insignificant, and Song Yu was surprised: "Big brother is back?!" ”

When the words fell, her joyful expression suddenly froze, as if remembering something, the corners of her raised mouth slowly fell, and her expression was a little hurt.

Her brother, who was fifteen years older than her, didn't know why he just didn't like her, and since he was older, he never coaxed her, but only ignored her more and more.

Later, he went out to travel, and every time he came back, his attitude towards her would become worse and worse, and he didn't know what words he would use to sarcastically mock her when he came back this time......

Song Yu sighed lightly, she couldn't see the lanterns tonight.

She turned around and apologized to a few people, but before she could speak, she heard Jing Qingli say: "Miss Song, just go, a few of us can't run away here." ”

Song Yu insisted on apologizing, and although they said they didn't need to keep someone to serve her, she still left a few guards to guard outside the box.

She wasn't worried about the abilities of a few people in the house, but these guards could always prevent accidents, such as stopping people who wanted to spoil the guests.

After Song Yu left, Xiao Junyu collapsed on the windowsill as if he was relieved, took out a fan and snorted a few times, and the hair on his sideburns fluttered in a mess.

Jing Qingli unceremoniously ridiculed Xiao Shao's city lord, leaning back to Mingxi with a face full of enjoyment.

Ye Xiaoxiao concentrated on eating pastries, and unconsciously tasted the pastries in front of Xiao Junyu, frowned and thought for a while, he said: "This pastry in front of Uncle Xiao is delicious." ”

Xiao Junyu, who was affirmed, raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and her tone was full of pride: "That's not it, I know which of these plates of pastries is the best at a glance, so I chose to sit here...... Eh- why did you eat it all for me? ”

In the midst of laughter, a gong and drum sounded outside the window, indicating the official start of the Lantern Festival.

The first event was the Flower God Receiving Event, in which a procession of several hundred people set off from the Flower God Altar and walked to the election platform.

A hundred handsome boys and girls were dressed in flower children's clothes, and the buds of different flowers were depicted on their foreheads, and the corresponding buds were held in their hands.

The children's eyes were bright, and although their eyes sometimes unconsciously drifted to the candy sellers and rattle sellers on both sides of the road, their steps were not in the slightest.

Then there were a hundred young boys and girls with delicate faces, and their foreheads were depicted with a hundred kinds of flowers half-opened, and there were no bouquets of flowers in their hands, but lanterns in the shape of flowers. While walking, the lanterns swayed, and it seemed that you could still smell the faint fragrance of flowers.

Later, there were twelve flower envoys, among whom were men and women, and their faces were all exquisite and beautiful, but each of them had a unique charm.

or beautiful as jade water orchid, or charming as ten thousand jade lotus, or cold and arrogant as ice plum......

The crowd exclaimed one after another, and many people even stayed in place until the twelve flower envoys walked by.

Watching the curtains pass in front of him, countless eager eyes were projected on the layers of drapery as thin as cicada wings, imagining how amazing the appearance of these people who can be recognized by the twelve flowers.

It didn't take long for the team to reach Baihuatai. The flowers bloom around the flower stand, and the teenagers place the lanterns on the edge of the flower stand for a week, and the flower girls walk to the corresponding flower lanterns and put down the buds in their hands reverently.

The Baihuatai is large enough to put down twelve curtains. Each of the twelve flower envoys corresponds to a curtain chariot, and in the curtain chariot is the candidate flower god recognized by each of them.

When all the candidates get out of the car, countless birds and butterflies will be released, and the results of the competition will depend on who has the most butterflies on their body and the number of flowers they have received.

Birds are trained and tame spirit animals, and they will offer flowers to the things they think are the most beautiful, and those flowers are the hundred buds that the flower girls put down.

"Come out, Shu'er......"

The first flower envoy was a man with a body like a pine, and at this time a trace of obsession flashed in his eyes, and his voice was soft and unspeakable.

A chuckle came from the curtains, and everyone who heard it was tingling in their hearts and their faces were flushed. The sound was like a bone-eating poison, but it tempted people to tear off the curtains that were in the way and see what kind of stunner was in the curtain.

"Ding-dong-"

The subtle and melodious sound of bells lingered in my ears, and a jade-like flawless foot poked out of the layers of drapery.

The foot was not small, or even slightly larger, but it did not hinder its beauty in the slightest.

A red gold bell was tied to his ankle, and the bright red chain rope contrasted with the pale skin, making the crisp sound of the bell stained with an indescribable blur.

There were steps in front of the curtain, and after the jade foot stepped on the steps, a bony hand rested on the curtain, revealing a red corner embroidered with intricate patterns.

There were many people in the audience who held their breath, for fear that they would make some noise to abruptly abrupt the beauty, and Jing Qingli, who was sitting in front of the window, suddenly felt a little bad, and a sense of chill arose.

The feeling reminded her of the face in her memory, and she hurriedly began to calculate where the man was at this time, and the results of the calculations devastated her.

There was a sudden uproar in the audience, Jing Qingli glanced at Baihuatai in a panic, but found that the person named Shu'er had already walked out of the curtain, and she would never forget that stunning face of the world!

The wind is overwhelming! How did you find this thing?

Jing Qingli was just about to look away, ready to stay away from this big window that was easy to expose herself, when she found that Feng Shu was actually looking at her!

Almost subconsciously, Jing Qingli was about to hide back, but Ming Xi easily scooped her into his arms and asked softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Jing Qingli buried her face in Ming Xi's arms, and thought to herself: Feng Shu has never seen my true face, and he will never recognize me.

But in the next second, her expectation was ruthlessly shattered.

"Xiao Qingqing—"

There was a shout from outside the window, and the familiar voice made Jing Qingli want to flee immediately.

As the first candidate for the god of flowers, the process of getting off the curtain cart is not slow, but in the eyes of others, his charming every move is always so abrasive.

When his thinly covered face appeared in front of everyone, there was a sudden silence around him. Immediately after that, one after another came back to their senses, and the silent crowd seemed to flip a switch, and the sound of gasps and exclamations almost drowned out the entire street.

His original face is indistinguishable from male and female, but after applying makeup, it has a thrilling beauty that blends with his temperament.

Feeling the fiery gaze cast on him from all directions, Feng Shu's eyes flowed, and slowly evoked a smile, which naturally caused another commotion.

His gaze swept over the obsessed people in the audience and slowly moved up, casually glancing at the faces of these people who had booked the box, but met the familiar gaze.

It's Xiao Qingqing!

"Pearl! Fast! Remember to hide the pearl! Jing Qingli's voice fell, and she disappeared in place.

Mingzhu's baby rolled to Mingxi's legs, and his soft voice also carried a hint of eagerness: "Daddy, can you hide the baby and his mother in a place where others can't find it?" ”

Mingxi stretched out his hand to pick up Mingzhu, a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he said slowly: "Yes, yes, don't worry, baby." ”

His eyes were gentle and delicate, and he was obviously saying this to Mingzhu Baby, but Jing Qingli always looked at this guy and was also talking to him.

Jing Qingli blushed secretly, as if since that night, Mingxi had become different from usual.

Mingxi put the baby pearl into his storage space, glanced out the window, and found that the person who made Jing Qingli look strange had jumped off the Baihuatai, and his spiritual power was about to come to them.

Ming Xi raised his hand slightly, and a bit of white light popped out from his fingertips, quickly submerging into the body of the person who had already exerted his spiritual power a few feet above the ground.

I saw that the beauty who was still in high spirits changed her face in a blink of an eye, and fell down from mid-air with a plop, but even if the beauty fell, her posture was perfect and pleasing to the eye - although now the stage and the stage are all messed up into a nest of porridge.

Feng Shujue grinded his teeth fiercely, just now I don't know which villain dared to plot against him! Now he can't use any spiritual power, and he is doomed to be fruitless when he opens the window, so he has to enter the restaurant.

He met the man's eyes just now, and although his face was different, his eyes were very familiar.

He's been looking for someone for so long! He didn't expect to meet here, how could he not be surprised? Who cares about the flower god election at this time?

Xiao Junyu, who had been in a state of onlookers, had a subtle look in her eyes the moment she recognized Feng Shuju, remembering all kinds of deeds about him, and then looking at Jing Qingli's rare cowardice-

Xiao Junyu moved the fan in front of him to block his slightly strange smile, but was ruthlessly pierced by Ye Yuanyuan on the side.

"Uncle Xiao, your smile is so scary."

Xiao Junyu's face stiffened, and the secret way was not good, and sure enough, Ming Xi on the other side had already moved his gaze to him, and the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Regretting that he might have lost an opportunity to strike Jing Qingli, Xiao Junyu said what he knew in three or two sentences: "That person is the young master of the Feng Clan, and his personality is ...... Quite uninhibited......" After a pause, he continued: "It is rumored that he once fell in love with a woman named Xiaoqing, but then I don't know why he suddenly started pretending to be a woman, and was expelled from the family because of it, it is rumored that he is ...... Hurt by love. ”

After he finished speaking, Mingxi lowered his eyes, and the next moment the temperament around him underwent earth-shaking changes, and his face also changed into the appearance of Jing Qingli in an instant.

"Xiao Shishi, Yuanyuan, don't you have to pretend?" The familiar tone came out of Mingxi's mouth, and even the sound was ten out of ten.

It can be said that if it weren't for Xiao Junyu and Ye Yuanyuan seeing all this with their own eyes, it would be difficult for them to see that he was not Jing Qingli for a while.

Ming Xi's words reminded him that he had been at odds with Feng Shu since he was a child, although his strength was higher than Feng Shuju. But every time they met, he would choke on the wind's words and couldn't return it.

Thinking of some not-so-beautiful pictures, Xiao Junyu put away the fan expressionlessly and changed to a delicate face.

Yuanyuan actually doesn't matter, after all, there are definitely not many "people" who know this face, but after all, they are unfamiliar people, so they are obedient and simple.

Heavy footsteps came from outside the door, and a familiar voice sounded outside the door: "Xiao Qingqing!" I'm coming—"

"Stop! Who are you?! The guards left by Song Yu finally caught a person who was about to break in, and couldn't help but scold. But when they saw the face clearly, the words that had already reached their lips swirled and swallowed back into their stomachs.

Feng Shujue's spiritual power in his body couldn't be adjusted, he was very anxious, and he was afraid that Xiaoqing would escape, looking at the few guards who were blocking the road, he secretly grinded his teeth, and he couldn't wait to kick these people who were in the way.

"Girl, what's the matter with you?" The young guard blushed.

Hearing the guard's words, Feng Shu's eyes flashed, and then he hid his face and whimpered: "Woo woo...... I, I'm here to find the missing ......"

Husband's.

Before Feng Shuji's words were finished, a female voice came from the box, and the content of the words made him happy.

"Let this 'girl' in."

-----------

In fact, this is also a bad fate.

In the past, the young master of the Feng clan traveled in a chic manner, and I don't know how many daughters were secretly approved.

He was impatient with the famous ladies that the family wanted to promise him, and he only felt very bored, although some of these delicate flowers he met along the way could talk a few words, but he always felt that something was missing.

The prodigal son of the wind has been among thousands of flowers, and there is really no one who can make him stay.

"Brother Feng, Yu'er...... Yu'er pleases you! The petite girl wrung her veil, her cheeks crimson, and the fragility of her eyes made it impossible to say no.

Wind is amazing: We've only known each other for two days, don't scare me......

"Boy, listen, the old lady has taken a fancy to you!" The hot woman raised her whip and whipped it to the ground, and the threat was self-evident.

Wind Legend: I really didn't want to help you and beg you to let me go......

"I know, you only need an honorary lady to gag the clansmen's mouths, anyway, I'm just to keep the family from marrying those bad old men, we take what we need, how about it?" The lady of the shrewd family bowed to him Yingying, and said the most worrying thing about the wind.

Wind Special: I don't think it's good......

"In that case, then let's leave it at that, I wish you to find the person you like as soon as possible!" Picking up the wine and leaning back, the grinning woman gnawed half of the pig's trotters in the bowl again, and then wiped her mouth and left with her sword.

Wind Exception: ...... You're good to go......

All this made the suave young master of the Feng clan doubt himself. Why did he decide to come out in the first place?

Oh yes, it was his cousin who told him that he needed to keep looking for true love, and he also helped him go out and travel as a cover.

Wait a minute! Feng Shu never remembered that the person his cousin liked was the girl introduced to him by his family...... No wonder they were so eager to get him away!

Feng Shujue, who came out with the truth, grinded his teeth fiercely, and was about to go back to the family to hang that bastard and beat him, but he didn't expect to meet the person who haunted him in the middle of the way.
