The Great Zhou Dynasty was strong and prosperous, and the economy was developed, and the Lantern Festival was an important festival, so the annual Lantern Festival was always warmly celebrated.

Although Zhaoxian County is far away from the capital, the lantern festival is also lively, and the county government and the gentry come forward, and set up tall lantern wheels, light towers and light trees on the street in front of the county government, and arrange dozens of musicians to form a world of lights, shadows and music.

On this night, Lin Jia needs to take the county officials to carry out the lantern opening ceremony on the high platform in front of the county government, and when the Lantern Festival begins, he will come back to pick up Yu Yu and Qingcha to go out for a hundred sick children.

While waiting for Lin Jia, Yuyu, Qingcha and Xu Erniang sat in the bright room of the West Wing and talked.

The room was very warm, Xu Erniang's face flushed, and she whispered about the Lantern Festival customs here in Zhaoxian County: "On the day of the Lantern Festival in Zhaoxian County, it is popular to walk all kinds of diseases, and the daughters of wealthy families and small families must wear white silk jackets and high-soled embroidered shoes, so that the head of the family or family members can go out to watch the lanterns, which is particularly lively, but many people steal it every year......"

Yu Yu and Qing Cha had never seen Xu Erniang say so many words, and they both listened carefully, especially yearning.

Qingcha couldn't help but say, "Lady, why don't you go with us tonight!"

Xu Erniang's face suddenly turned pale, and she lowered her head and did not speak.

Jin'er seemed to shrink and snuggled into her mother's arms.

Seeing this, Yu Yu hurriedly opened the topic, and said with a smile: "Let me tell you about our customs in Wanzhou, the Wanzhou Lantern Festival is also very lively, and the lights are on the most prosperous Wangfu Street, and the lights are hung on both sides of the street...... There are sun and moon lights, there are mirror lights, there are all kinds of word lamps and glass lamps with signboards written in front of the shops, this night the whole Wanzhou City tea shop, restaurant, tile house and Golan are open all night, lively and prosperous! My family is on the outskirts of the city, and every year I go with my neighbor's sister to ......"

Thinking of the past, Yu Yu's nose was inexplicably a little sour, her long eyelashes drooped, and she said, "But you can see the lights of Zhaoxian tonight!"

Xu Erniangzi looked at Yu Yu and Qing Cha, and said with a smile: "Zhaoxian Linhai, the Lantern Festival is also a little cold, if you two go out tonight to walk around a hundred sick children, if you are only wearing a white silk jacket on it, I am afraid that it will be cold, it is better to wear a splendid robe outside!"

Yuyu and Qingcha laughed.

Qingcha said: "We are maids, not ladies, where are there any splendid robes!"

Xu Erniang smiled a little embarrassedly.

At this moment, Ah Lan called Yu Yu and Qingcha outside: "Come out, the adults have already changed their clothes!"

Yu Yu and Qing Cha hurriedly got up and went out.

Under the bright and cold moonlight, Lin Jia, who was wearing a royal blue fox cloak, was standing outside the gate waiting, and when he saw Yu Yu and Qingcha coming out, he said, "Let's go!"

Take Ah Lan and walk forward first.

Yu Yu and Qing Cha hurriedly followed.

The inner house of the county government was shrouded in the bright moonlight, quietly, but the closer it was to the east side door, the louder the noise became, Yu Yu held Qingcha's hand, followed closely behind Lin Jia and A Lan, and went out of the east side door of the county office.

In order to welcome the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, countless lamp stands have been set up on the street in front of the county yamen, illuminating the whole street brightly, all kinds of buying and selling are boiling in the sky, and the men and women who watch the lanterns and go to the sick children are endless, which is very prosperous and lively.

Lin Jia entered the flow of people watching the lanterns and walking the sick, and walked slowly while admiring the lanterns.

Ah Lan followed Lin Jia closely and guarded him closely.

Yu Yu and Qing Cha held hands and followed closely behind.

There is a huge lotus lantern in front, and in the lamp there is also a Guanyin Niangniang played by the Oiran of the courtyard, and many people are watching.

Lin Jia was walking forward, and suddenly heard someone in front of him: "Greetings to my lord!"

He looked up and found that it was Wang Qingyu, the official of the county government.

Seeing that Wang Qingyu was followed by several women, Lin Jia guessed that it was the female dependent of Wang Qingyu's family, so she nodded, but did not speak.

Seeing Qingcha's eyes looking at Wang Qingyu, Yu Yu said in a low voice, "You made an appointment with Wang Qingyu?"

Qingcha nodded shyly.

Yu Yu hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Jia's clothes, and said in a low voice: "My lord, Qingcha wants to play with Brother Wang's sister!"

Lin Jia turned his head and glanced at Yu Yu.

Yu Yu hurriedly squinted his eyes and smiled sweetly, extremely dog-legged.

Lin Jia saw that she was smiling flatteringly, and felt funny in her heart, so she nodded.

Yu Yu smiled and pushed the tea in front of Wang Qingyu, and said with a smile: "Remember to send the tea back later, don't let me be suspenseful!"

Wang Qingyu's sister looked cute, walked out and held Qingcha's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, we will definitely send Sister Qingcha back safely!"

Yu Yu said goodbye to Qingcha and the Wang family with confidence, and followed Lin Jia and Ah Lan forward.

There are many dignitaries and nobles in the private room facing the street on the second floor of Fanjia Restaurant, and they have chartered a private room to come to eat, drink, enjoy the lanterns and see the sick women.

Hu Qingchi and his fox friends huddled together, lying in front of the window, nervously waiting for Yu Yu to arrive.

As soon as he saw Yu Yu, who was coming over with Lord Lin of Zhixian County, Hu Qingchi hurriedly beckoned his fox friends and dog friends to look: "Look, it's those people over there, it's the girl behind the tall man wearing a royal blue cloak!" That's right, it's the girl who wears a white silk jacket and a pomegranate skirt! ”

The streets are as brightly lit as day.

Fox friends followed Hu Qingchi's instructions to look down, it was just a sight to behold, the girl's forehead was full of eyebrows, the black green silk was loosely pulled into a peach heart bun, and the rest hung smoothly on the shoulders, a small face was as white as jade, big eyes were shining, the figure was slender, and it was so cute!

They all laughed, and all kinds of packing tickets: "Hu Er, you just wait, let's go over and separate the little lady from the man in front, and then you rush over and kidnap her!"

The scoundrels planned and went downstairs together, blending into the flow of people, and followed closely behind Yu Yu and the others.

At this time, the fair-skinned brocade-robed young man in the private room next door was also pointing to Lin Jia who was walking slowly in the crowd: "It's the young man in the royal blue cloak, you find a way to catch up with him, cut him with a knife, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape!" If it is done, go to the Tianzi Room of Han Cheng Inn and get the remaining one hundred and eighty taels of silver! ”

The six big men looked at it, and saw that the young man pointed out by the employer had long eyes, a handsome description, and a long figure, so he stared at it with dead eyes, agreed, and went downstairs with a Pu knife, scattered and blended into the crowd.

Yu Yu saw an anagram lamp and thought it was strange, so she quietly pulled Lin Jia's clothes and motioned for Lin Jia to wait.

Lin Jia stood there with his hands in his hands, accompanying Yu Yu to watch the lantern riddles.

Ah Lan stood behind Lin Jia and Yu Yu, responsible for guarding.

At this moment, a group of people squeezed over, passing right behind Lin Jia and Yu Yu, and squeezed Ah Lan away.

Yu Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong, it seemed that the cold hairs all over her body stood up, she looked back, and saw that there were strangers behind her, but Ah Lan was gone, and then looked back, and found that there were more than a dozen people on the left, someone seemed to be holding a knife in his hand, and the blade of the knife was illuminated by the light, reflecting a snow-white light.

Her heart was pounding, she took a deep breath, pulled Lin Jia and whispered: "Childe, it seems that something is wrong, I count to three, you follow me!"

Lin Jia also felt that something was wrong, and said "um".

Yu Yu counted to three, pulled his legs and ran, pulling Lin Jia into the gap in front of him, and drilled through several people very quickly.

Hu Qingchi, who was about to catch Yu Yu, saw it, and in a hurry, he hurriedly said loudly: "Quickly block the little lady in front!"

The originally orderly crowd immediately became in a commotion, and seeing that Yu Yu and Lin Jia were gone, Hu Qingchi was so anxious that he was about to jump up.

Seeing this, those big men with Pu knives hurriedly separated the crowd and chased Lin Jia desperately.

Yu Yu and Qing Cha came out to buy vegetables, they were very familiar with the surroundings, and soon pulled Lin Jia into a secluded alley behind Yuchuan Bookstore.

The street outside was bustling, but the alley was quiet, with only some light faintly coming from the houses on both sides of the alley.

Yu Yu's heart was beating fast, but she tried her best to keep her composure, pulling Lin Jia to run through the alley.

Lin Jia had never run so fast in her life, her lungs hurt like pins and needles, she couldn't breathe, and her feet were a little soft, so she was just passively dragged by Yu Yu.

A rush and chaos of footsteps followed them from afar, mixed with human discussion:

"Did you really see the fat sheep running here?"

"Nature is true!"

"Why are we the only ones chasing after us? Where have they all gone? ”

"It's just a weak chicken, the two of us can chop him into meat puree, and take the remaining one hundred and eighty taels of silver steadily, and we can still use others!"

The two of them kept running, but they didn't run particularly fast, they could still talk, and they were probably afraid of an ambush.

Yu Yu heard Lin Jia's wheezing sound getting tighter and tighter, and she was also a little anxious in her heart.

Just then, the door of a house on the left hand side of the front opened.

Yu Yu reacted quickly, pulled Lin Jia and squeezed in.

The man who opened the door was stunned for a moment, still holding a lantern in his hand.

Yu Yu couldn't care much more, and he didn't even see the other party's face clearly, so he smiled sweetly, closed the door with his back, and then quickly turned around and latched the door shut.

Lin Jia gasped for breath, standing there holding on to the doorpost, looking at Hu Yingzhi who walked forward with long eyes, his brain was moving rapidly - is Hu Yingzhi friend or foe?

Only then did Yu Yu recognize that the little guy who played the lantern was Kunpeng, and behind Kunpeng was Hu Yingzhi wrapped in a white fox fur, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at Hu Yingzhi.

Hu Yingzhi looked at Lin Jia quietly with a pair of peach blossom eyes, and after a while, he smiled kindly, and said in a low voice: "Lord Lin, Miss Yuyu, please come here!"

At this moment, a man's voice came from outside the door: "Huh? What about the couple? Why did it disappear all of a sudden? ”

Another more refined male voice said: "Xu is running to the front, let's run faster!"

The footsteps of the two grew farther and farther away.
