When night falls, all the streets of Baekan City are full of lanterns, and there are vendors selling lanterns, snacks, snacks, etc., and every family goes out of their homes to look at the lanterns with joy.

Colorful lanterns are hung at the door and on the branches, illuminating the bustling and lively city of Bei'an.

The major restaurants in the city are also full, there are guests everywhere, as soon as you enter the door, you can hear the voice of Xiao Er greeting guests, the aroma of wine and meat floats down the door of the restaurant to the street, the people on the street talk and laugh, everywhere is very lively.

However, because there were too many people on the street, the carriage that Xiao Man and Lu Li were riding in was blocked and could not move for a long time.

"It seems that the time agreed with Mrs. Zhou has passed." Xiao Man was anxious, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked left and right, looked at the bustling crowd with no end in sight, frowned and said anxiously: "What can I do about this?" ”

Jade on the side stepped forward and said, "Anyway, Madam didn't really want to get along with them, so it should be okay to be late, right?" ”

Xiao Man shook his head, his eyes were still looking at the bustling crowd, and he said anxiously: "That's not good!" ”

As he spoke, Xiao Man retracted into the carriage and frowned for Lu Li, "What should I do?" ”

"Let's get out of the car, I'll take you." Lu Li proposed.

"You?" Xiaoman was puzzled, "There are so many people outside, why are you taking me there?" Besides, do you know where the Drunken Immortal Tower is? What if I make a mistake? It's not the same lateness. ”

Lu Li didn't answer anything else, only raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Man with a smile, "Don't believe me?" ”

Xiao Man bit his lip, "It's not that I don't believe it, it's just-"

"Tell me straight, do you want me to take you there?" Lu Li interrupted and asked directly.

Hearing this question, Xiao Man hesitated for a while, thought about it in his heart, and then nodded firmly: "Okay, then I'll go with you." ”

After getting the permission of the other party, Lu Li didn't talk nonsense, and directly stepped forward to grab Xiaoman's waist and get out of the carriage, and then lightly totoe on the top of the carriage.

Lu Li's movements were smooth and fast, so that as soon as the jade below saw the two of them come out, they only pierced their eyes, and the two of them had already reached the top of the carriage.

"Madame! Grandpa Guo! Emerald shouted from below, "What are you going to do?" It's too dangerous up there! You'd better come down first! ”

She thought to herself, even if she wanted to see how long it would take to dredge this road, she wouldn't use such a method! Moreover, Lu Li still has to carry Xiaoman up, even if he knows martial arts, it is difficult to ensure Xiaoman's safety at such a high place!

Just when Jade was thinking nonsense, Xiao Man shouted with a smile: "We're going to the Drunken Immortal Tower, remember to follow later!" ”

After speaking, before Jade could speak, Lu Li had already taken Xiao Man to the roof of the shop on the street, and the two of them were almost electric from the top of the carriage to the roof, Jade was surprised and completely forgot to react.

In fact, it was not only jadeite, but even passers-by who came to see the lanterns on the street were shocked.

I saw a handsome man in white holding a petite woman in white, like a light butterfly, constantly flying over one rooftop after another, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, if it weren't for the accompanying maid and carriage still staying in place, they would almost think that they were dazzled.

Xiao Man hugged the man's waist tightly, clinging to the other party's chest, feeling the wind whirring in her ears, and the exclamations one after another, she would occasionally open her eyes boldly, and she would see all kinds of colored lights, which looked particularly good against the backdrop of night.

I don't know how many times he jumped over the roof, Lu Li finally stopped, he fell to the ground handsome with Xiao Man in his arms, and his breathing was not chaotic at all.

"Have you arrived?" Xiaoman opened his eyes in surprise and looked left and right.

Lu Li smiled, his eyes were full of pampering and gentleness, and he said while helping the other party's wind-blown hair to be tidied up, "Well, it's here." ”

I saw a gorgeous and majestic pavilion standing tall in front of me, and each floor was lit with different colors and styles of lanterns, and all kinds of lanterns matched with the gorgeous style of the building, which looked quite spectacular and beautiful.

And the lantern style hanging on the upper floor of this drunken fairy is not ordinary lotus, rabbit, etc., but a variety of flowers, birds, fish and insects based on gorgeousness, and even dragons and phoenixes. These lanterns are different from the ordinary lanterns sold on the street, and the material and the bones that support the shape of the inside are very special, and it is precisely because of this that this lantern appears more and more exquisite.

Xiao Man looked up and saw that the three words of the Drunken Immortal Building on the plaque were all shining with light, and she asked in surprise: "Wouldn't the three words of the Drunken Immortal Building also be a lantern?" ”

"Just go in and ask." Lu Li took Xiao Man's hand and walked straight inside.

Different from other lively restaurants in the city, this drunken fairy building is quiet after entering, there is neither noisy talk and laughter, nor Xiao Er, who shuttles back and forth between the dining tables, compared with the outside, this drunken fairy building is inevitably a little deserted.

"Two guest officers, please."

Xiao Er, who welcomed the two of them in a long tone, interrupted Xiao Man's thoughts, she looked at Xiao Er who was walking towards her, and took the lead in saying, "I made an appointment with others, but I don't know where they are, can you take us there?" ”

"What's that guest's name, do you know?" Xiao Er asked.

"Zhou Xiaoxiao."

As soon as he heard the name "Zhou Xiaoxiao", Xiao Er immediately put away his smile, bent down to salute Xiao Man, and then said respectfully: "I've been waiting for the county lord for a long time, I'll take you over." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Er bowed his waist slightly and took the initiative to lead the way.

And Xiao Man and Lu Li were also surprised how this little two would know her identity, and the two subconsciously looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

"How does he know who you are?" Lu Li lowered his voice, took Xiao Man's hand and walked forward, and asked with his head sideways.

Xiao Man was also surprised, she shook her head, "I don't know......"

Lu Li snorted lightly, and said amusefully and helplessly: "I guess, it should be the mother and daughter of the Zhou family who told him." ”

"No......" Xiaoman was still a little confused, and he couldn't react for a while.

Just as the two of them were talking, Xiao Er, who was leading the way, stopped, hunched over and pointed to the room on the right, "Miss Zhou has already come, and she is waiting for the county lord and the grandfather in the house, please come in, and I will wait at the door." ”

Pushing the door in, Zhou Xiaoxiao and Mrs. Zhou were sitting at the dining table, as soon as they heard the sound of the door opening, they hurriedly got up to greet them, and they praised them again, which made Xiaoman a little disgusted.

Lu Li frowned a little impatiently, interrupted the two of them unceremoniously, and asked, "Didn't you say to come to dinner?" Why hasn't the meal been served yet? ”

Mrs. Zhou's face stiffened when she was smiling, and then she hurriedly twisted her body to the door and shouted, "Why don't you have any eyesight?!" Grandpa Guo is here, why don't you serve it soon? Hurry up and let the kitchen bring the best meals! ”

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zhou saluted Lu Li after coming back, and smiled: "Grandpa Guo, forgive me, Xiao Er doesn't know how to measure, it delayed your time, you wait, the kitchen will serve the food in a while." ”

However, Lu Li just sneered, and looked away without answering, not paying attention to the other party's meaning at all, let alone Mrs. Chengzhou's affection.

For a while, the atmosphere in the room became solemn and awkward, Zhou Xiaoxiao's face darkened little by little, and Mrs. Zhou laughed dryly twice helplessly.

Fortunately, Xiaoman stood up in time and said; "I heard Mrs. Zhou say that this location is the best place to see lanterns, really?"

"Yes, Lord County." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly picked up the stubble, smiled and took Xiao Man to the window, and pointed to the distance, "County Lord, look!" The location of this drunken fairy building is high, and this room is the best location, with a panoramic view of the entire Bei'an City. ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao, who came later, echoed: "Yes, this location began to be sold half a year before the Lantern Festival, and people rush to buy it every year. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man thought: It seems that in order to let Zhou Xiaoxiao have a good home, this Zhou family has really put a lot of effort into it, and she did not hesitate to spend so much money to set a position, just to make herself happy.

Thinking of this, Xiao Man couldn't help but feel a little emotional, if the mother and daughter of the Zhou family could use this thought on Mrs. Zhang, the other party would not be so sad and angry.

"County Lord, look there!" Zhou Xiaoxiao pointed to the distance and reminded: "There is the largest and most gorgeous lantern in the entire Bei'an City, which will be lit in a while, and the patterns are different every year, and I don't know what style it will be this year, I'm really looking forward to it." ”

Looking in the direction of Zhou Xiaoxiao's finger, I saw that that place was the darkest place in the entire Bei'an City, and there were large and small lanterns in other places, but there, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

Xiao Man nodded, and then asked curiously, "Miss Zhou, isn't it the first time you have come to Bei'an?" How do you know so much about the Bei'an Lantern Festival? ”

As if she had already guessed that Xiao Man would ask this, Zhou Xiaoxiao looked like she had already prepared, and explained unhurriedly: "In order to make the county lord spend the Lantern Festival happily in Bei'an City, I have done a lot of work in advance. ”

After speaking, she turned sideways and saluted Xiao Manying, "County Lord, are you still satisfied?" ”

"Satisfied, satisfied, very satisfied." Xiao Man raised his lips and smiled: "Miss Zhou bothered. ”

"As long as the county lord is satisfied, Xiaoxiao's efforts and hard work will not be in vain." Zhou Xiaoxiao bowed her head slightly and said softly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden noise downstairs, Xiao Man followed the sound and looked down, only to see that everyone on the street began to run in the same direction, and the place Zhou Xiaoxiao pointed to before was particularly lively, and the group was full of voices, as if they were greeting something.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was a little excited, "County Lord, look! The biggest lantern is about to come on! ”

Hearing this, Xiao Man couldn't suppress his excitement, hurriedly turned around to greet Lu Li, and said happily: "Lu Li, come on, the biggest lantern is about to be lit!" ”
