Chapter 23: Fans

This year's winter is cold and wet, and the snow near the Shangyuan Festival is mixed with rain and falls coldly.

Shu Tan begged Song Shuyu to take her around the street during the Shangyuan Festival.

She had never gone out during the Shangyuan Festival, and every night on this night, Shutan would sit in the courtyard wearing thick clothes and watch the colorful flowers in the sky.

Granny Harueda said that there were so many noisy people that night, and if something went wrong, it would make the lady and the lord unhappy.

Shu Tan thought to herself, she should be careful, just take a walk outside, where will something go wrong?

It was snowing again, and Shutan was on her back, and the fluttering snowflakes fell on her nose.

Song Shuyu wore a thick, brown old jacket, and a cyan cotton jacket that just reached her ankles. Song Shuyu is taller than Fugui, and these clothes were picked up by Fugui.

He was satisfied, the jackets were much warmer than the clothes of the little guy he had received from the chief.

Song Shuyu took Shutan to lock the courtyard door and found the cowshed not far from the backyard.

There was a small door there, probably to make it easier for the servants who fed the cattle to carry the grass and take care of it.

Song Shuyu found out early in the morning.

At this time, the door was locked, and several cattle were lying in the shed and resting with their eyes closed.

"Or ...... We're not going. Shutan looked at the lock on the door and said to Song Shuyu.

Song Shuyu had a faint smile on his face, he lowered his head, leaned his face on the side of Shutan's face, and pointed to the wall in front of him: "You see that it is so short, you can turn over it in one go." ”

Shu Tan refused, shook his head and retreated.

Song Shuyu didn't say much to her, his big hand hooked the wall, jumped up, he squatted on it and stretched out his hand: "Why don't you hurry up?" ”

"This ...... How can I climb up! Shutan was depressed and showed her height to Song Shuyu.

"Hold my hand, and I'll pull you up, or I'll go by myself."

Shu Tan had no choice but to put his hand on his, and his hand was very cold.

After Song Shuyu brought Shutan to the wall, he jumped down again, and waited for her with his hand stretched out on the side of the wall.

In this situation, Shu Tan could only close his eyes ruthlessly and threw himself into his arms.

The smell on his body was very good, a faint smell of soap, a little familiar.

BMW carved cars, flower market lights like day, Shutan is very happy, I have never seen such a lively street.

She happily beckoned to Song Shuyu behind her, "Hurry up, you follow closely." ”

Song Shuyu frowned, and shouted after her: "Don't go so fast!" ”

A young man pushing a wooden cart came up to them, and the wooden cart was full of strings of candy figures.

A little girl stopped the prime man in a milky voice: "Abel, I want this-"

The little girl pointed to a string of wooden skewers stained with pink sugar threads.

"It's a fan, it's sweet. Did the little sister bring money? ”

"Uh-huh!" The little girl nodded, and pulled a copper coin out of her sleeve.

"That's not enough, we have to have three." The prime man shook his head and stretched out three fingers, wanting to push the cart away.

The little girl's eyes were wet and watery.

Song Shuyu stepped forward, squatted down and was level with the little girl, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Does my sister want fans?" ”

"Xiaoshan wants fans." She nodded, staring at Song Shuyu pitifully.

Song Shuyu rubbed her head and turned her face sideways, looking at Shutan with the same pitiful expression, like a puppy.

Shu Tan took out his wallet with a dark face, turned his face away and ignored him.

Song Shuyu smiled, handed the money to the prime of life, and took a fan to the little girl.

The little girl thanked him.

Song Shuyu walked behind Shutan and handed her another wooden skewer stained with fans.

The moon has risen on the willow tops, the thin waist is slender and the lights are shining.

People come and go, he and she are pushed around, and Shutan and Shuyu are always washed away.

She dared to take his hand, but instead of letting go, he held it tighter.

There was an old man selling masks next to him, and when he saw them, he shouted enthusiastically: "Girl, come and see these, they were just made in a hurry." ”

Shutan took a delicate butterfly mask, looked at it over and over again, hung it on his face and asked Song Shuyu with a smile: "Is it good-looking?" ”

He looked at her, her cherry lips, her straight nose, and the gentle eyes under the mask. He smiled and nodded.

She was in a very proud mood, and took a white-faced fox mask from the stall and put it on Song Shuyu's face.

They looked at each other through masks, twinkling stars, flourishing fireworks, red lanterns, and a cold moon.

A noblely dressed man was drinking tea in the restaurant opposite, and the noisy and joyful laughter of the street came in, and the man leaned back in his chair, his handsome and delicate face gathered in the dark brilliance, and his face showed an unusual indifference unlike the people who cheered for the festival.

A man in black hurriedly walked over, whispered a few words in his ear, and pointed to Song Shuyu on the street.

The man raised an eyebrow and tilted his head to look up at the street.

At the door of the wine shop next to him, a red-faced boy scolded drunkenly, and summoned a gray-brown coarse servant like a dog, and shaved him in front of the big guy for no reason.

Brother Gongzi's heart was full of anger, so he vented his temper with these lowly ones.

The handsome face that was originally thin and white quickly turned red, the five finger prints were red and swollen to attract attention, the tinnitus of the slave beaten, and the sweetness of rust in his mouth, but he didn't say a word.

Some people next to him didn't like it and began to advise Brother Gongzi.

"Can you guys take care of my dogs?" As he spoke, he raised his whip even more excessively.

The whip flew in the air, whistling in the air, and the next second it landed heavily on the enslaver. The slave teeth trembled, his cheeks twitched and he fell to the ground.

Shu Tan was very uncomfortable when he saw this scene, and even felt sick to his stomach, so he drilled behind Song Shuyu with his legs weak.

Song Shuyu's face was not very good, he immediately covered her eyes with his big hand: "Don't look, don't look at it, it'll be fine." ”

Song Shuyu comforted her softly, but it was clear that he had blocked them for her, and she was still trembling with fear when she heard the whipping sound one after another.

Song Shu turned his back to those people with his back to Shu Tan's body. She heard him tell her to wait at the mask stall, and he went to buy something and came back to her.

The halva at home is finished, and the halva shop is next to the restaurant building.

Shu Tan nodded in agreement, begging him to hurry.

Song Shuyu nodded, took off the jade-faced fox, and held it in his hand.

With a cold expression, he turned sideways past the slave and drunken boy who was crawling on the ground, and passed the crowd of people who had gathered to watch the excitement.

Song Shuyu packed a bag in the halva shop and wanted to leave.

Suddenly, I heard a voice behind me: "I thought the people below were talking nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be the fourteenth brother." ”

Song Shuyu paused for a moment and turned his head with a cold face.

Lin Nanyu wore a dark red brocade robe, a white silk belt, and a handsome complexion.

"I didn't expect the second brother to be here, I have long heard that the second brother has become the prince, and Nanqing is here to congratulate the second brother." Song Shuyu's tone was light.

"It's not unusual for me to become the crown prince, but I heard that the fourteenth brother was seriously ill and died, and his bones are still buried in the imperial tomb."

Lin Nanyu walked closer to him and looked at him with a smile: "Look at the one standing in front of me now," Lin Nanyu approached Song Shuyu's ear, and he exhaled softly: "Is it a ghost-"

Seeing that Song Shuyu's face changed immediately, Lin Nanyu's face was crooked with a smile, and he patted Song Shuyu's shoulder.

"Fourteenth brother, don't worry, you know. I don't have any feelings for that woman, but she has always wanted to support me and call me a puppet, and I won't tell her that my fourteenth brother is still alive. ”

"Fourteenth brother, hide it with peace of mind, one day I will use your ......"

Lin Nanyu bent down, snatched the jade-faced fox in his hand, and rubbed it for a long time: "You are still the same as back then, you always like such boring and boring things." ”

Lin Nanyu raised his hand, and the world was full of colors and fell into Lin Nanyu's eyes through the eyes of the jade-faced fox.

-

Song Shuyu has been gone for too long.

That boy was addicted to brutal slavery, and he whipped it unscrupulously, and his fierce and violent appearance scared Shutan's legs weak.

The slave was beaten by him and panted again and again, as if he could not hold it anymore, and he trembled his arms and prostrate on the ground to ask the onlookers for help.

No one dared to meddle in their affairs for a while.

The enslavement bloodied across the crowd in the direction of Shu Tan, and the people in front of Shu Tan hurriedly dispersed in the shape of birds and beasts.

Song Shuyu told her to wait here.

This slave is very pitiful, although Shu Tan can't bear it in her heart, but she is a cowardly person who knows how to protect herself.

She won't be strong, no one will clean up the mess for her, she can't afford to offend.

Shu Tan finally went to the side with the scattered crowd to hide.

The snow began to be sprinkled again, like goose feathers and catkins, and the plain silver white was gently sprinkled to the capital.

The Shangyuan night in the capital is hugged before and after, the voices are boiling, and the joyful and lively atmosphere makes people drunk and obsessed, singing the praises of the peaceful and prosperous times.

Shutan's nose became sour, and he felt like an abandoned puppy.

She walked along the river looking for someone alone.

Hidden the bright red shop guise and red silk, hidden the laughter and steaming aroma, the noise of the flute drums and the uneven figures-

In the sea of people, she saw the white-faced fox, and the usual thin lips.

He walked towards her across the sea of people.

Shu Tan also carried her skirt, and rushed through the crowd towards the jade-faced fox in a hurry and joy.
