After a few thunderstorms, the begging festival arrived, this is the favorite festival of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the emperor will feast on the moon tower in the palace on the night of the begging festival, the concubines look at the moon with the five-color silk thread through the nine-hole needle, if the person can pass through, you can be named the marquis of Qiao, naturally, this is the palace people's self-entertainment, the folk will not be so boring.

On the day of the begging festival, from morning to night, there are hawkers along the street to sell all kinds of begging items, as well as all kinds of novelties, the east of the city to the west of the city is full of lanterns, and each shop will take out the color head, set the test project, let everyone learn from each other, the winner will get the color head, you can watch the fireworks by the Liuming Lake when the time comes, and the lady show who does not go out of the gate on weekdays will also wear colorful clothes to come out to enjoy the play, it is very lively.

A few days ago, Zhou Yunxue received a post from Zhaoyang, inviting her to go out to play during the begging festival, she didn't see Zhaoyang for a long time, so she should go, Wei Wuxian knew about it and went too, Zhou Yunxue was going to his courtyard at this time, but met the second sister Zhou Yunshuang on the way.

Zhou Yunxue saw that she was about to go out, so she asked, "Second sister, is this going out?" ”

Zhou Yunshuang's cheeks were slightly red, and he said, "Exactly." The cousin asked her out, and her mother agreed, but she was a little embarrassed to look at her sister.

Zhou Yunxue smiled: "Can you bring an escort?" There are a lot of people on this street, and it's not good if you bump into it. ”

"Stay, sister, don't worry."

"Okay, my sister will also go out today, if there is anything, come to the welcome building to find me."

Zhou Yunshuang glanced up at her and said, "Thank you, sister." ”

"Don't get in the way, sister, let's go first."

Zhou Yunshuang answered, walked towards the door of the mansion, looked at the graceful back of Lychee in the distance, and said on the side, "Second Miss seems to be a lot more beautiful than usual." ”

Zhou Yunxue turned around and raised her hand to poke her forehead, and said, "People are going out to meet lovers, so naturally they have to dress up carefully." ”

Lychee covered her forehead and said in shock, "How does Miss know?" ”

The grapes, hawthorns, and pomegranates on the side all laughed, and Zhou Yunxue was speechless when she looked at this servant girl who was usually clever but looked like a white person at this time, and glanced at her white, and then walked towards Wei Wuxian's courtyard.

Lychee looked at the three people who were laughing together, and muttered, "Why can't I see that the second lady is going to have a lover." ”

Pomegranate brushed her slightly sour cheeks and said, "Didn't you see that the fan that the second lady was holding in her hand was commonly used by the sons outside?" "Crossing Phnom Penh, the fan pendant is also a whole body of green jade, so fine must be something for the sweetheart, and it is not a gift box, people must be waiting for her outside the house, this stupid lychee, usually so smart that I can't see it.

As soon as Zhou Yunxue entered the courtyard, she saw Wei Wuxian wearing a dark purple brocade robe, not embroidered, but just traced with gold thread, holding a folding fan in her hand, and walking towards her with a silver mask on her face.

"Let's go, let's go to the welcome building for dinner first." Wei Wuxian walked up to her, lifted his folding fan and tapped her head

Zhou Yunxue glared at him and said, "Speak well, don't move your hands and feet." With that, he turned around and walked outside, and Wei Wuxian didn't feel any discomfort, smiling and following.

Horseback riding is not allowed on the street today, and two carriages have been prepared outside the door, originally Zhou Yunxue and a few maids had one, and Wei Wuxian had one, but this person rubbed her carriage with a dead face, and several maids had to go to the other one, seeing Zhou Yunxue with a small face, Wei Wuxian smiled and poured her a cup of tea to show her goodwill.

There are many people and cars, and although the streets are wide, the speed will inevitably be much slower, so the usual journey of less than an hour took nearly a half to arrive today.

The welcome building was already overcrowded, and as soon as Zhou Yunxue and Wei Wuxian entered the store, a shopkeeper greeted them and said, "Do you two have reservations?" ”

Following Wei Wuxian's dark one, "Yes." He took out a wooden card from his arms, Xiao Er took it, took a look, and hurriedly invited a few people upstairs, saying, "Tianzi No. 3 wing room is on the third floor, a few people are here, please." ”

He went up to the third floor with Xiao Er, and just arrived at the door of the wing room, but the door of the next room was opened, Wu Changjun walked out from the inside, and saw Zhou Yunxue and Wei Wuxian, his body was slightly stunned, and then he arched his hand and said to the two, "It turned out to be Qingzhi and Xue'er's sister." ”

Wei Wuxian returned the salute with a smile and said, "Brother Elder Monarch." ”

Zhou Yunxue just glanced at him and was about to turn around and enter the room, but Wu Changjun walked a few steps to her and said, "Xue'er, wait." As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and hold her.

Wei Wuxian hurriedly stepped forward again, his face was cold, and he said, "Wu Gongzi, what do you mean by this?" "He's still here, this man wants to stretch out his hand to pull people, he really doesn't know whether he is alive or dead.

Zhou Yunxue ignored him, and entered the wing, Xiao Er had already gone downstairs to make tea, and there were only Wei Wuxian and Wu Changjun in the corridor.

Wu Changjun looked at the door that had been closed by the maid, his face flashed with bitterness, Wei Wuxian just looked at him lazily, and said, "Wu Gongzi, no matter what you say, the snow girl is the sister of your deceased wife, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to be so entangled." ”

Wu Changjun retracted his gaze and said with a wry smile: "Qingzhi doesn't know, I have bitterness in my heart. ”

Wei Wuxian looked at him amusedly, and said, "The dead wife's bones are not cold, and Wu Gongzi is naturally bitter, so I won't bother Wu Gongzi." After saying that, he bowed his hand to him and entered the wing room with Dark One.

Seeing the door closed, the bitterness on Wu Changjun's face receded little by little, and was replaced by a trace of ruthlessness, and when Xiao Er came up with a tea tray, he smiled lightly and went downstairs with a gentle and elegant appearance.

Xiao Er knocked on the door and entered the house, set up the tea tray, and asked the two with a smile on his face, "It's lunch time, can the guest order food?" ”

Wei Wuxian asked Zhou Yunxue, who was sitting opposite, "Little niece, what do you want to eat?" ”

Zhou Yunxue thought for a while and said to Xiao Er, "I heard that your three fresh ducks here are very good?" ”

Xiao Er bent over, smiled and handed her the menu in his hand, and said, "Sanxian duck is the signature of our welcome building, the duck meat is tender and fat, and there is no duck smell." ”

"Then let's have three fresh ducks." Zhou Yunxue took the menu and flipped through it, and said, "There are also rose lotus paste cakes and crispy quails." After Xiao Er wrote it down, he gave the menu to Wei Wuxian and said, "Second Uncle order more." ”

Wei Wuxian took it, ordered four more dishes, and then returned the menu to the shopkeeper, who took the menu and said, "Wait, you two, the dish will take about half a cup of tea to come up." ”

Wei Wuxian nodded and said, "Let's go down." ”

Xiao Er went downstairs with the menu, the lychees were kicked out by Zhou Yunxue, and the Qiqiao Festival also let a few of them go shopping and have fun, Wei Wuxian just took a sip of tea and stopped touching it, Zhou Yunxue looked at it in his eyes and smiled "What, this tea is not delicious?" This is a pot of two taels of silver in Biluochun. ”

"Isn't this being raised by you?" Wei Wuxian said with a smile, and after instructing the dark one to go and ask the shopkeeper to open the pot for nothing, he said, "When are you going to do this Wu Changjun?" If she didn't do anything, he wanted to have someone wipe her neck in the middle of the night.

Zhou Yunxue smiled faintly at him and said, "Today." ”

Wei Wuxian raised his eyebrows and said, "Good times, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhou Yunxue winked at him and smiled slyly, "I won't tell you." ”

Wei Wuxian paused for a moment and smiled, "Naughty." ”

Zhou Yunxue glanced at him.

After half an hour of dinner, Zhaoyang arrived, and as soon as he came in, he poured two cups of tea in a row, and then said, "Oh my God, there are so many people outside, I feel that the whole of Kyoto has come out, but it squeezes me to death." ”

The fifth prince who came in after her smiled, "I told you to come out early, but I didn't listen." ”

The fourth prince also smiled and said, "Don't blame her, the queen mother's silk candy cake is really delicious." ”

Zhou Yunxue and Wei Wuxian stood up and saluted the two.

It's already dark, the lanterns have been lit on the street, a few people have gone out of the restaurant together, the welcome building is located in the middle of the road, you can't see the fireworks, but the Wanghu building is okay, meet in the welcome building because the road from the welcome building to the Wanghu building is quite lively.

Because several people were with guards, there were guards to protect and open the way, and they didn't feel too crowded, chatting and playing with the playthings on the side of the road, the two girls of lychee and grape were already smiling happily, but Hawthorn and Pomegranate were closely following behind Zhou Yunxue, in case others bumped into their own miss, and Wei Wuxian was also beside her, but the accident still happened.

Originally, a few jugglers in front of him were performing, there were many people around, Zhaoyang wanted to see it and pulled Zhou Yunxue to squeeze forward, the fourth prince and the fifth prince and Wei Wuxian followed behind them, a few performers were turning over tricks, a little girl was holding a basin and begging for a big prize, when a few people were in front of them, Zhaoyang generously gave a piece of silver, the fourth prince and the fifth prince also took out the silver and threw it into the basin, the little girl smiled and bowed again and again to thank her, and when Zhou Yunxue was about to tell Hawthorn to give silver, the little girl fell on the four princes, Under the basin showed a dagger with a cold light, stabbing towards the four princes, there were many people and it was not easy to dodge, the four princes had to kick at the little girl, and their calves were cut through a wound, and the little girl who was kicked on the ground rose up again and took the façade of the four princes, and the guards who were guarding the side hurriedly drew their knives to meet them, and the few people who were originally playing with spears and fighting also drew their sharp knives and rushed towards them, and the people who were still around fled with their heads one after another, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Wei Wuxian pulled Zhou Yunxue in his arms, Dark One and Hawthorn and Pomegranate were in front of the two of them, fighting with the oncoming assassins, and Zhaoyang was also protected by the Five Princes and a few guards, Zhou Yunxue was stunned by this change, and when she returned to her senses, she was already protected by Wei Wuxian in her arms, she raised her eyes to look at Zhaoyang, just before she looked at each other, and the two of them saw that each other was fine, so they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The screams continued, several people were scattered by the crowd for a while and could not get closer, and the number of killers increased by no less than ten, Wei Wuxian had a cold face, and frowned, "These people are not coming at us, after a dark break, the two of you Hawthorn and Pomegranate are protecting the lychee grapes, and we will go to the roof." "There are too many people, if you follow the crowd, you will inevitably get separated or bumped, and there are killers, and if you go to a high place and are empty, these killers can be solved by one person.

Wei Wuxian raised his hand to wrap his arms around Zhou Yunxue's waist, lifted it and swept the roof on the side in one breath, Hawthorn and Pomegranate with Lychee also followed, and as soon as he killed a killer who followed closely, he also brought it up, and the killer chased after him, and the dark one solved the three who followed behind, and the killer below was shocked, so he abandoned Wei Wuxian and a few people, and turned back to kill the four princes and the five princes, after all, the people on the roof were not their target.

Zhou Yunxue's face was a little pale, looking at the people fleeing below, and the four princes who were surrounded by the guards, her voice sank, and said, "Why are these people only going to the four princes?" "Because the five princes are protecting Zhaoyang and the guards of the Guogong Mansion are escorting, half of the killers around them have been eliminated, while the four princes have many palace guards to protect and are injured but can't move half a step, and the killer seems to have to kill him, and most of the people are going to kill him.
