Since Yuan Jing nodded, Mu Qian naturally wanted to take Chen Jiuzhang for a walk, Sifanghu Street, Balianhe Road, he took Chen Jiuzhang to some famous places in the royal capital, Chen Jiuzhang didn't talk much, and he was a little rickety when he walked, Mu Qian often tried to peek at the heroic appearance of the Nine Lives Army Division from this figure, and he could speak well and strategize, what kind of scene should it be.
Later, Chen Jiuzhang seemed to notice that Mu Qian often looked at him, and he didn't care, but occasionally casually discussed a few sentences with Mu Qian, just a few sentences, which was enough to make the famous young man benefit a lot.
Feige county lord left the capital of the period of the autumn festival, the autumn festival is one of the most important festivals in Kaiji, a hundred families celebrate lively, the monarch and the queen mother need to watch the ceremony on the royal city on the day of the festival, in addition to watching the celebration ceremony prepared by the Taichang Temple, but also need to be worshiped by the people, in order to show the people's desire.
Ruyun Inn needs a long period of time to repair, Wenhua will be discussed in the royal capital because of the deliberate spread of Xiang Nian, in this situation, Peach Blossom is not in a hurry to open the door at this time, such a big day as the Autumn Dynasty Festival, she naturally wants to come out to play.
"In previous years, there were many people in the Autumn Festival, why does this year's Autumn Festival seem to have more people than in previous years."
Mo Ming shook his folding fan and looked at the rubbing streets.
"Little brother, you don't even know this." The candy seller on the side interjected in the middle of the greeting. "This year is the first year of the new king's ascension to the throne, our king is the youngest monarch in the five continents, and I heard that the Feige County Lord of the Western Realm, as well as Princess Qiluo, will come, all of them are like fairies sinking into the fish, who doesn't want to come and take a look."
"Looks like a fairy? Breathtaking beauty? ”
Mo Ming only heard the second half of the sentence in his ears.
"Miss, you and Miao Shu play first, I'll go and see if there is anything to buy and take back, let someone put it back first."
Peach Blossom looked at Mo Ming's excited face and knew that the drunkard didn't mean to drink.
"Go ahead."
Peach Blossom nodded a little funny, she couldn't stop this person from joining in the fun.
"Okay."
Mo Ming straightened out the ink-colored cloud satin on his body, slapped the folding fan on his hand, and disappeared into the crowd after a few turns, Peach Blossom had long been used to him like this, so he went with him.
She took Miao-sook to wander around the street, the street was full of lights, and the shops were full of lanterns, and Peach Blossom walked into a jewelry store and turned around twice in it, as if she thought of something and turned to look at Miao-sook.
"Miaoshu, what do you like, I'll buy it for you."
Miao Shu dresses plainly and elegantly on weekdays, and there are few chic jewelry, so she just took the opportunity to buy some.
"Miss, I never wear these on weekdays, but if I put them in a box and fall into ashes, I wasted good things in vain."
Miao Shu said with a light smile, Peach Blossom pretended to pout, and her voice was very soft.
"I want to see you wear it."
"That'...... Well......"
Miao Shu bowed her head and let Peach Blossom put a Mei Ying Cai Sheng hairpin on her head.
"Beautiful."
Peach Blossom took out a gold leaf from her body and handed it to the little girl, the owner of the store saw that this little girl was young and beautiful and so generous, if she served well, she might be a regular customer.
Such a distinguished guest could not be neglected, he ran out of the counter and picked out a delicate little lantern from the lantern on the side and gave it to her.
"Girl, this is for you."
"Thank you." Peach Blossom said with a smile as she looked at the delicate lantern in her hand. "This lantern is so beautiful."
"If there is a person who is looking forward to hanging a lantern in front of the door, he will definitely follow the light to find his way home."
The shopkeeper explained, with a smile in Peach Blossom's eyes, and the hand holding the lantern tightened slightly.
The two of them walked out of the store, and Peach Blossom walked all the way towards Middle Street, Miaoshu followed her, and her expression was a little subtle when she saw that this place was getting closer and closer to the city tower.
"Miss, there is the Suzaku Gate in front."
Suzaku Gate, Taichang Temple ceremony is here, the monarch and the queen mother are also here to be worshiped by the people.
"At this hour, the ceremony should be over." Peach Blossom counted the hours and said.
"It's past unitary time."
Miao-sook replied.
"Then let's go faster, maybe we can catch up."
Peach Blossom's voice is brisk, pull up Miaoshu and are about to leave, the further you go, the more crowded the crowd becomes, at this moment, there is a faint unusual light in the west, Peach Blossom is born with five senses stronger than ordinary people, she suddenly grabbed Miaoshu.
"Did you smell anything?"
Miao-sook took a deep breath.
"Nothing ......"
Peach Blossom shook her head, frowning slightly.
"There's fire, and there's the smell of sawdust......"
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed over.
"Xicheng Tower is on fire, and everyone leaves quickly!"
Xicheng Tower? Peach blossoms, isn't the West City Tower the closest city tower to Suzaku Terrace? The monarch travels and is well guarded, how can such a close place catch fire.
Before she had time to think about it, the people on the street ran back because of these words, and Peach Blossom and Miao Shu were caught off guard and were crowded away for a while.
"Miao-sook! Miao Sook! ”
Peach Blossom staggered a few steps, and when she turned around, Miao-sook was no longer around, and there were panicked faces everywhere.
"Who can save my daddy......"
She was about to go back to find Miao-sook, when she suddenly heard a faint cry, and she walked towards the place where the sound came from, only to see a little girl standing on the side of the road, helpless and her face full of tears.
"Little sister, what's wrong with you."
The little girl suddenly cried loudly when she saw the peach blossom bent over.
"Daddy...... Daddy......"
"Don't panic, speak slowly."
Peach Blossom wiped her tears and comforted, it turned out that the little girl had asked for help on the street for a long time and no one paid attention to her.
"Daddy took me to see the Autumn Festival, he asked me to stay in the corner, but the fire suddenly burned, Daddy was still on the city tower, I was scared ......"
The little girl couldn't tell clearly when she sobbed, so Peach Blossom simply grabbed her.
"You take me."
The two walked forward against the flow of people, only to see the crowd under the Suzaku stage scattering, but Wang Bao, who should have left a long time ago, stopped in the distance, and the surrounding servants were panicked, all looking around, exchanging words.
