The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was not affected by the death of the Son of Heaven last year.

At the beginning of the night, the long street was already lit up.

The appearance of stars on the high dome seems to have gradually ignited the glory of the city.

The lights of three or three o'clock finally converge into a prosperous and bright spot.

"I didn't expect so many people." Song Yixiao carried a begonia lamp that Jian Xubai had just bought, leaning against the guardrail of the stone arch bridge, looking at the surging crowd around him with some novelty and amazement.

Originally, according to Ji Su's suggestion, he booked a private room in the best restaurant in the area, and then the couple was condescending, enjoying the lights on the street while enjoying the restaurant's specialty dishes - the point was not to squeeze together with the crowd in the market.

But both husband and wife felt that it was difficult to come out to play once, and they couldn't say it if they weren't there, so they insisted on changing their regular clothes and only took a few guards to travel.

As a result, Ji Su really said, as time passed, there were more and more people on the street, and at the beginning, some people noticed that those guards were faintly guarding and deliberately did not lean over. But later, when there were so many people that they were crowded, who could take care of them?

If it weren't for Jian Xubai holding her halfway, she would have almost bumped into a stranger several times.

However, compared to the happy mood of the couple, this trouble is not very big.

The two looked at the lights along the bridge for a while, and Song Yi smiled and said, "It's a pity that Qingyue is too young, otherwise, I can take her out today." ”

"What are you bringing her out for?" Jian Xubai didn't think it was a good idea to bring his daughter, he moved his steps slightly, better protecting his wife from the crowd, and also took the opportunity to steal incense on her forehead, and chuckled, "She wants to watch the light, and her future husband will bring her here, what will we be like as parents?" ”

Song Yi smiled and twisted his waist hard: "In vain, I usually think you love her!" I didn't expect to be stingy like this, and I was reluctant to bring her to a lantern festival - tell her when she grows up, and see that she still cares about you! ”

"Although the daughter is important, how can the wife forget?" Jian Xubai raised her hand and swept her sideburns that were blown away by the night wind, and said with a smile, "Didn't you say you wanted to eat Lantern Festival?" Seeing that the stalls over there are full of people, maybe the craftsmanship is good. ”

The husband and wife slowly moved over with the crowd, and the small food stall was really full of people inside and out, but after they walked over, they found that these people were not attracted by the Lantern Festival, but because something happened here - a diner ordered a bowl of Lantern Festival, and even fell down with a stool in the middle of eating!

When the people around him picked him up and looked at it, he was convulsed all over his body, his eyes rolled white, and he looked like he was dying!

In this case, everyone wanted to suspect that there was something wrong with the Lantern Festival, and while pressuring the owner of the stall not to leave, they sent two young people with fast legs to report to the official.

It's just that on a day like tonight, it's enough for officials to squeeze over.

Therefore, everyone in the neighborhood came over to watch the excitement.

"Forget it, let's find another one!" Jian Xubai originally thought that he had found a Lantern Festival shop with good craftsmanship, if the things were clean, the husband and wife would be delicious.

But he didn't want to run into something - and someone had already reported to the official, he felt that there was no need to waste time here, so he turned back to his wife and said, "When the official comes, I have to detain the people on the stall and leave." ”

Song Yixiao was about to agree, but suddenly his eyes froze, and he said, "That's?" ”

Jian Xubai followed her line of sight, but saw that the crowd not far away was forcibly separated by two guard-looking people, and a handsome man with a fox fur walked in with his sleeves folded, and said lightly: "If there is a problem with the Lantern Festival, why is it that only this one person has an accident, and the rest of the people are safe and sound until now?" ”

In fact, after the initial panic, everyone also figured it out, but once the diner had an accident in the process of eating the Lantern Festival, before the root cause was investigated, the owner of the stall could not get out of the relationship; Second, the diner came with a little girl, and after he fell, he saw that the child who was only seven or eight years old had no owner, and would only hug him and cry, and his pitiful appearance made people can't help but want to pull a sideline.

However, what surprised Song Yi was not that the man pointed out this section, but that this person was Su Shaoge, who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"It should be a chronic illness, just now, but it has nothing to do with the Lantern Festival." When the couple were surprised, Su Shaoge had already leaned over to check the pulse of the dying man, took the handkerchief handed by the next person and wiped his hands and said, "It's a pity that I am only a shallow learner in the next year, and I don't have a medicine stone with me, but I can't do anything about it." ”

Although the onlookers did not know his identity, they also knew that he was not an ordinary person. And whether it is the owner of this stall or the diner who had an accident, it can be seen at a glance that he is just a person in the market.

With Su Shaoge's identity, there is obviously no need to come to this dispute, and they are a little convinced when they hear this, but they only regret the little girl who is still crying: "I don't know if there are other adults in the family?" If it's just such an elder, this child doesn't know how to live in the future? ”

But the owner of the stall breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly stepped forward to thank Su Shaoge.

Su Shaoge waved his hand and only said: "My father loves your family's Lantern Festival, I don't know if I can make him a bowl now?" We'll be back in a minute. ”

Outside the crowd, Song Yixiao and Jian Xubai glanced at each other, and they both thought: It's strange that he wants to come out like this.

Xianjia has gone, Duanhua has ascended the throne, although the Su family still has a queen mother in the palace, but it is no longer the prominent when he was a descendant at the beginning of the year.

Today's Su family wants to know that everything should be cautious.

If there is no reason, Su Shaoge is not a flamboyant temperament, how can he come out to meddle in front of everyone?

co-authored because Ji Guogong is an old diner of this stall.

"Ji Guogong is about the last time to eat the Lantern Festival here, right?" Song Yixiao thought silently in his heart, "After all, it has been more than half a year since the first emperor died, and if he goes at this time, it will not affect the reputation of the first emperor and Jinshang." ”

Watching the owner of the stall go to light the fire, making the Lantern Festival with his hands and feet, the couple was about to leave, but Su Shaoge also turned his head and bowed slightly at them.

"Mrs. Song?" The Su family and the Yanguo Mansion have never been close, and now they are even more different, even if they meet by chance, they just nod their heads, and there is no need to go forward to greet them - Jian Xubai was about to leave with his wife in tow, but an unexpected voice came from behind him, "Are you also here to eat Lantern Festival?" ”

"I just saw a lot of people here on the bridge, but this craft is exceptionally good, so I came to take a look." Song Yixiao turned her head to look at the words, sure enough, it was Su Shaomo, she was wrapped in a sable fur, and she was standing two steps away, and the four burly guards were trying to clear the crowd for her, although this young lady from Fufeng Hall was in the city, she was also dignified, "I didn't expect something to happen - did Miss Six also come out to see the lights?" ”

Su Shaomo's temperament, to put it nicely, is simple-minded and doesn't know how to twist and turn; To put it mildly, that is, the talent is dull and does not know how to look at the face.

Like this, her brother Su Shaoge only nodded to the Jane couple, but she came up to greet Song Yixiao in a daze, and said: "Then you can find the right place, don't look at this small stall, my father said, the best thing to do in the Imperial Capital Lantern Festival is this one!" Even the ancestral skills of our chefs can't be compared. ”

He added, "We came out with my father, who has not been in good health lately, and now he suddenly wants to look at the light—it's upstairs over there!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a restaurant diagonally behind him.

Out of politeness, the couple also looked in that direction, originally this scene full of people, it was night, and they didn't expect to be able to see Ji Guogong. But when I looked around, I really saw a middle-aged man in a purple plate-collared shirt, surrounded by several guards, holding on to the railing and looking this way.

The man's eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to Su Shaoge, and his temperament is heroic, so he thinks it is Su Nianyi.

Jian Xubai and Song Yixiao looked at him, and both of them were slightly stunned.

But then they reacted, and each of them bowed their heads and looked away.

Song Yixiao noticed that Ji Guogong's gaze when he looked at this side was not just taking care of his children, but also more melancholy and embarrassment, as well as a faint attachment.

"I don't know if this grandfather regrets what he did back then?" Song Yixiao thought like this, and couldn't help but glance at her husband beside her—speaking of which, Jian Xubai could also be said to be a victim of the Su family's ambitions at the beginning.

If it weren't for the fact that the Duke of Ji and the Empress Dowager Su planned to join forces with each other to usurp the throne, why would Wuhuan fight for six years?

Jian Xubai will not become a captive, he has been in a foreign country for many years, not to mention, and he has been betrayed by his relatives and almost survived.

She suddenly thought of something, and she didn't care about Su Shaomo's side, so she leaned into her husband's ear and asked solemnly: "Your poisonous ...... Okay, okay? ”

"What?" Jian Xubai didn't react at first, but he was stunned for a moment before he suddenly laughed, "It's almost, if you eat black paste for a few more days and nights, you think it will be fine in the future!" ”

Speaking of this, thinking of the events of the year, I couldn't help but joke in a low voice, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" Do you want to put another night ointment on me? ”

Hearing this, Song Yixiao couldn't help but blush, twisted his waist hard, and was about to speak, Su Shaoge had already got the grand Lantern Festival, noticed his sister's behavior, handed the bowl to the subordinate and carefully served it, and walked over and said, "Sixth sister, why did you come down too?" There's a lot of people here, so don't crowd you! ”

"I heard that something happened here, so I came down to take a look, and there were people with me horizontally and vertically, it didn't matter." Su Shaomo didn't realize that she had done something that was not very suitable, but in the end, she was thinking about her father's wishes, and when she saw that the Lantern Festival was good, she didn't mean to talk to Song Yi anymore, she only waved her hand and said, "Mrs. Song, we have to send Lantern Festival to Daddy, you might as well try it, this Lantern Festival is really good!" ”

Song Yi smiled and agreed, and said goodbye to her after a few words of greeting - Su Shaoge was waiting for his sister not far away, only smiling slightly, and never spoke to the couple.

After Su Shaomo finished speaking, he arched his hand to this side and left with his sister.

After the two brothers and sisters left, Jian Xubai glanced at the diners who were gradually seated, and said to his wife with a smile: "Although there is some turmoil, it seems that the craftsmanship here is really not bad, why don't we also order a few bowls and send them upstairs over there?" ”

He was referring to a pavilion a little down the road from the restaurant where Ji Guogong was located - after all, the couple had been pampered since childhood, and it was okay for them to taste the food in the market once in a while, but it was a little unbearable to eat in this corner with a group of people. Not only can't they stand it, but others probably won't be comfortable, so it's better to choose a suitable place to sit nearby, and ask someone to bring the Lantern Festival over and taste it slowly.

Song Yixiao has no opinion - it's just that the couple didn't know that after the Su family brothers and sisters presented the Lantern Festival to Ji Guogong, when Ji Guogong slowly tasted this bowl of Lantern Festival, Su Shaomo walked to the railing and looked at the lamp.

She also saw the actions of Jian Xubai and his wife, and couldn't help but smile slightly.

This smile didn't mean anything else, it was just that Yan Guogong and his wife believed their recommendation.

But in an instant, he showed a look of frustration and loss, looked at the people below and laughed and walked away, and finally disappeared into the crowd, and unconsciously bit his lip.

"What are you thinking?" Su Shaoge next to him had already noticed his sister's gaze, and seeing that Ji Guogong didn't pay attention, he walked over with his sleeves on his sleeves and said gently, "Are you looking at Yan Guogong and his wife?" Why? Don't tell Brother Wei, do you look at Yan Guogong? ”

"Phew! What did the second brother say! When Su Shaomo heard this, she was still a little embarrassed, and suddenly jumped to her feet with high morale, and said, "Although Jian Xubai is recognized as a good student, compared with the second brother, you are just different!" Looking at your face as a second brother, how can I still be such a person who judges people by their appearance?! ”

Su Shaoge looked at her with a smile and said, "Okay, just kidding...... It's just that you've been staring at them, brother, do you remember, you don't know Mrs. Song very well? ”

"I miss the seventh sister." Su Shaomo's words made him smile reluctantly, but her sister, who didn't know how to read her face, continued, "In the first two years, when I looked at the lights, the seventh sister would be by my side, but this year she went to Qiongzhou with Ji Zifu - I don't know if there is a lantern festival in that remote place?" If there is a lantern festival, will Ji Zifu be as considerate as Yan Guogong to Mrs. Yan Guo? When will we sisters see each other again? ”

Su Shaoge listened to his sister's story in a daze, and then chuckled and said, "There will be a day." ”

The railing under his hand was unconsciously pinched out of his fingerprints.
