Chapter 7: The Lantern Festival's First Encounter

30th Night of the Lunar New Year:

Uncle Liu is commanding his subordinates to stick peach charms and hang lanterns, and Qi Yu is bored and goes to the lobby to make trouble for Uncle Liu.

One will say that the window flowers are low, one will say that the lanterns are crooked, one will say that the content of this peach charm is not atmospheric enough, and one will go to tease the busy maids in this house, teasing their cheeks crimson and delaying their work, anyway, they just don't do the right thing and don't take a handle.

Uncle Liu angrily complained to the fourth master, but Qi Zhen smiled happily and reassured Uncle Liu and asked him to do whatever he wanted.

Uncle Liu had no choice, so he rolled his eyes and said loudly: "Fourth master, the old slave heard that this year's lantern festival by the Jinjiang River is much more lively than in previous years,"

Uncle Liu glanced at Qi Yu as he spoke, and after seeing him stop his movements and prick up his ears to listen, his voice became louder:

"I've had a walk around today, and I've seen a lot of handsome young men and pretty ladies from this family. Lord, are you going to take a look? ”

Qi Zhen looked at Uncle Liu, who was performing too hard in front of him, and then looked at Qi Yu who looked expectant in the distance, and said with a smile: "Don't go." ”

"Fourth brother and fourth brother, why don't you go! How much fun. Qi Yu jumped in front of Qi Zhen: "Fourth brother~ Xiao Jiu is bored to death these days, I haven't visited the lantern festival yet, let's go~"

Qi Zhen looked at him for a while, and finally couldn't resist his expectant eyes: "Okay, okay, just go." But say in advance, don't stir up trouble, don't leave me half a step, don't disappear. ”

"Oops, got it, got it." Qi Yu walked around behind Qi Zhen and held his shoulders and pushed forward: "Fourth brother, you are verbose to death." ”

Jinjiang Lantern Festival:

"Fourth brother, do you want to eat or not? Extra sweet! Qi Yu took a bag of sugar-fried chestnuts in his hand, peeled off one and handed it to Qi Zhen's mouth,

Qi Zhen pushed his hand away: "Don't eat!" You also eat less, look at the shortbread and chestnuts for a while, taste two bites of everything, and eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner for a while. ”

Qi Yu pursed his lips: "Where will these snacks be stomach-resistant, and they will be digested when they walk." The fourth brother is really good at chattering, verbose and verbose. ”

"This annoys the fourth brother? Isn't it afraid that the fourth brother will not hurt you in the future when he is sad? Qi Zhen scolded with a smile.

"What are you afraid of, the fourth brother won't." Qi Yu smiled and stuffed the chestnuts into Qi Zhen's mouth: "Sweet or not?" ”

Qi Zhen nodded with a smile and patted him: "Fourth brother is a little tired, you can go shopping by yourself for a while." ”

"Fourth brother is tired? Then let's go back. ”

"No, you've had enough fun going back to Beijing for the first time, I'll take a look here, and you'll come back to find me later."

Qi Yu looked around, and happened to match his eyes with Seventeen, who was mixed in the crowd, before he said with confidence: "Then I'll go." ”

"Go, go, go." Qi Zhen waved his hand. It wasn't until Qi Yu's figure disappeared into the crowd that Seventeen walked up to Qi Zhen and took out a pill and put it in his mouth: "Lord Wang, it's too cold, I'm afraid your body can't help it." ”

Qi Zhen bit the pill and swallowed it with spit, and it took a long time to recover, and he raised his head and said, "I'm fine, you can step down." ”

Qi Zhen walked to the willow tree not far away to rest for a while, and when he was about to get up, he heard a mother-in-law next to him shouting at him in front of the stall, and she was still holding a few hand ornaments made of red rope in her hands:

"Childe, let's see if you like any of these gadgets, come and see."

Qi Zhen walked forward and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, still come out to set up a stall at such an old age?" Can the body stand it? ”

"Hehe, my mother-in-law is so busy that she can't be idle." The old woman laughed as she picked out a red rope from her hand.

"Mother-in-law, this red rope is not ordinary, it has aura, mother-in-law looks at you, like a God-given person, you can't live long, and when the time comes, God will take you back."

Qi Zhen listened to it funny: "Mother-in-law, do you still look at your face?" ”

"Childe, don't believe it, mother-in-law, I understand this." The old woman tied the red rope around his wrist and said seriously.

"Then thank you, mother-in-law." Qi Zhen took out a silver ingot from his arms: "Then I also wish my mother-in-law a long life and good health." Hurry up and put the stall back, don't freeze your body again. ”

The mother-in-law took the silver and was happy like a child: "Hey~ Childe, good people have good rewards, you will definitely live a long time if you have such a good heart." ”

Qi Zhen sniffed the red thread in his wrist, and the faint smell of herbs came out, and he took a deep breath and found that the physical discomfort had actually disappeared.

It must be some kind of soothing herb, so he raised his head and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law too." ”

On the other side: Qi Yuzheng gathered in front of the crowd while eating brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, watching the beautiful woman in front of him dance with the python, the picture is very beautiful and ferocious.

Months have passed since the Battle of Long An, the border has stabilized, the emperor has reopened the Silk Road, and exchanges between the East and the West have become more frequent.

Shangjing was the capital of the Long Dynasty, and it was the most prosperous commercial city, so it gathered merchants and juggling teams from many countries, and this Western Regions dancer was one of them.

The beautiful woman Xu saw Qi Yu's handsome appearance, twisted her body and walked up and down with the python and danced, rubbing him up and down while dancing, throwing winks at him, and even touching him many times with the big snake.

Qi Yu looked at the woman in front of him, and then at the big snake in front of him, a mouthful of glutinous rice stuck in his throat almost made him lose his breath, and quickly hammered his chest, quickly took out a piece of silver from his arms, handed it to the beauty, and hurriedly retreated.

Qi Yu patted the place where he had been rubbed and walked forward, but suddenly heard the noise in front of him, so he went to see the excitement.

A vendor in the circle was pulling a man's clothes, and scolded while pulling them back:

"Everyone, I happened to be setting up a stall, and suddenly this person rushed over and knocked down my stall, and stepped on a few of my lanterns, he didn't pay me money and wanted to do it, is there any reason?!"

The people watching the play around said: "It should be compensated!" "If you don't pay for it, you can't leave!"

The man said in a deep voice, "Let me go first, let me go back and get some silver, and then come back to compensate you." ”

Qi Yu listened to the man's deep and beautiful voice, so he changed his position to look at him, it didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was shocked when he saw it:

I saw that the man was not very old, but he was very tall, I was afraid that he was only a little lower than him, dressed in white clothes and white robes and holding a long sword.

The facial features are upright and exquisite, the facial lines are clear, and the mandible is especially obvious and beautiful from the side. The eyelashes are long and curled, the bridge of the nose is high, the skin is as white as jade, and the fingers holding the long sword are thin and long.

On the whole, she is a beautiful woman with a delicate appearance but not a woman, and she looks like an immortal at that station, and people can't take their eyes off it.

The first time Qi Yu saw a person who was extremely beautiful in skin and bones, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that there were really people in this world who had completely grown into what he imagined, even more outstanding than the person he imagined.

This person was entangled by the hawker and looked embarrassed, gritted his teeth and tried to break free from the hawker, but the hawker grabbed it very steadily, and the white robe was torn open during the struggle, and the man's face became more and more ugly.

Qi Yu came back to his senses and hurriedly pushed aside the crowd and walked to the front of the hawker, and took out a silver ingot: "Are these enough for you?" ”

The peddler took the silver and bit it, and the pleats laughed: "Enough is enough." ”

The people watching the excitement next to them saw that someone came out, and they all pursed their lips and dispersed.

Qi Yu turned his head to look at the man, and when he got closer, he saw that there was actually a small mole on the side of the bridge of the man's nose, which added a playful touch to his coldness.

The man held the sword in his left hand and clenched his fist against the palm of his right palm, and saluted him: "Under Su Jingchen, Gongzi Xie will relieve the siege." ”

Qi Yu smiled: "You're welcome, it's a gesture." In Xia Changyu, the word Daoyi. ”

(Chang was his mother's surname, and he used it every time he was away on errands and it was inconvenient to reveal his identity.) )

"Brother Chang, I forgot to bring silver taels when I went out today, if it wasn't for the rescue of the child, I might have to be entangled by that vendor for a while, thank you so much Brother Chang."

"Su Gongzi doesn't have to worry about it, it's just a few taels of silver." Qi Yu smiled.

"I just went back to Beijing to visit the Lantern Festival and met Gongzi, which shows that we have a lot of fate, so don't hang these taels of silver anymore."

Su Jingchen nodded: "Then Su won't say anything, thank Brother Chang again." ”

"I don't know which son of the house Brother Su is?"

"Su just heard that the Shanghai Lantern Club came to play, and his family is not from Beijing."

"I see."

At this moment, Qi Zhen's voice behind him suddenly sounded: "You can make the fourth brother easy to find." This is? Qi Zhen looked at Su Jingchen on the opposite side and asked.

"Fourth brother, this is a son I met just now, Su Jingchen."

Su Jingchen smiled at Qi Zhen and said hello: "Su Mou has something to do, so I will leave first." ”

Qi Yu looked at his figure who turned around and was about to leave and asked, "Brother Su, will we see each other again in the future?" ”

"We will meet by fate." With that, the figure disappeared into the sea of people.

Qi Zhen looked at Qi Yu's distracted expression and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Is it good-looking?" ”

Qi Yu came back to his senses: "Huh? ”

Qi Zhen stopped looking at him and turned around, "Let's go back." ”

Qi Yu watched Qi Zhen walk forward by himself, without waiting for him at all, and hurriedly followed behind Qi Zhen, thinking as he walked: What's wrong with the fourth brother? Odd......
