When Ziyun heard Su Yingxue's words, her mouth opened wide in shock. The woman who has not left the cabinet secretly goes out of the house, if she is discovered, it will be a big deal. A woman's reputation is the most important thing, and this matter must not be sloppy. shook his head again and again: "No, girl, if you really have something to do, I can do it for you, you can't do it." ”

Su Yingxue had already decided to make friends with Ziyun, so she said coquettishly: "Good sister, I'll tell you the truth." I'm really tired of staying in the house, I can count the number of times I have been out of the house this year, not to mention that I am accompanied by my mother every time. I couldn't even look at where I wanted to go. I've heard that the city is also very lively today, and I really can't control it anymore. Please, just help me. ”

Su Yingxue had a pitiful expression on her face, and Ziyun's heart softened when she saw it. In fact, what the girl said is the truth, that is, when it is their turn to rest, they also wish to play outside all day. Although the old lady loves the girl, she is only very strict in the matter of leaving the house. Ziyun couldn't bear it in her heart, and finally nodded in agreement.

"It's just, girl, what if you go out of the house alone and encounter danger."

Since Su Yingxue had already said this, she confessed: "You can rest assured about this, Brother Ziqing will accompany me." ”

When Ziyun heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled, and his eyes were full of what I understood. Su Yingxue just didn't see it, as long as she could get out, she would let it go. Misunderstanding is misunderstanding.

The two agreed that Ziyan would approach Wang's mother, who had the key to the door in the West Corner, and take the opportunity to get her drunk and take the key. When Su Yingxue arrived, she said that she was drunk, and asked Ziyun to help her go back to the room to rest first. Ziyun is responsible for guarding the door to prevent outsiders from entering, and Su Yingxue promises that she will come back before the child.

The sound of firecrackers and crackling is even more festive in the New Year.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Su Province began. Master Su's family was sitting in the hall, and the rest of the servants were in the courtyard. Master Su walked out with a wine glass, said hard work to everyone present, and said a few words, then said, everyone eats and drinks well, you don't have to be formal today, just enjoy yourself. The courtyard was bursting with laughter.

Su's father sat down, and Su Yingxue also raised her glass and said: "My daughter also toasts her father and mother, and wishes her father and mother good health in the new year." I wish my father a prosperous business and a smooth financial road. I wish my mother a permanent face. "Let's drink it first.

Su's father and Su's mother were so happy that they all drank it.

During the banquet, someone toasted Su's father and Su's mother, and both of them drank. Su Yingxue had already prepared, and every time she raised her glass, she covered it with her sleeves and quietly poured out the wine. Ziyun came in to toast Su's father and Su's mother, and secretly gave Su Yingxue a look.

Su Yingxue understood, held her forehead and said, "Dad, mother, the child has eaten a few more glasses of wine, and I feel a little dizzy." ”

Su's mother worried: "This child only cares about being happy, and he doesn't pay attention to his body. ”

Father Su persuaded: "Hey, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and it doesn't hurt to get drunk." Let people wait for the children to go back to rest first. ”

Seeing that Ziyun was by her side, Su Mu gave a few commands and let Ziyun help Su Yingxue out of the front hall.

Seeing that they were out of everyone's sight, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then went to the west corner gate. Ziyun had already prepared a hat to hide behind a tree in the corner, took it out and gave it to Su Yingxue to wear while saying, "Girl, you must remember to come back on time." I will wait for you here before the hour, and when you knock on the door four times in a row, I will open the door with you. Seeing that Su Yingxue agreed, he took out the key and unlocked it, opened the door a crack, and saw that the carriage had stopped there, signaled to Su Yingxue, opened the door and went out.

Qin Ziqing heard the voice and hurriedly got out of the carriage, and the two didn't say much, and hurriedly got into the carriage. Ziyun watched the car disappear at the mouth of the alley, and Fang went back.

Su Yingxue did such a thing for the first time, and she was excited and nervous and scared in her heart, listening to the sound of the wheels, she only felt unreal. The carriage pulled into an inn and stopped. Qin Ziqing and Su Yingxue got out of the carriage and entered the inn. The innkeeper seemed to recognize Qin Ziqing, and nodded as a greeting, but did not say anything. Su Yingxue felt strange in her heart, but she didn't dare to speak at the moment.

Entering the guest room on the second floor, Qin Ziqing explained: "You go out dressed like this, how can you have a good time, I have prepared a set of men's clothes, you go and change first, I will wait for you at the door." With that, he went out.

Su Yingxue didn't dare to delay, so she quickly changed. The hairpin ring was removed, and only the headband was taken to tie the hair high. Out of the room.

Qin Ziqing looked back when he heard the voice, and his eyes lit up: "You have changed this outfit, you are really a handsome little Langjun." ”

Su Yingxue smiled, this dress is easy and simple, and it is very convenient to move.

The two came to Xishi Street. It was very quiet all the way, and it was not until Xishi Street that there were gradually human voices, Su Yingxue couldn't wait, opened the curtain to see, and the lights were bright not far away, and the figures were crowded. Su Yingxue said happily: "On this Chinese New Year's Eve, there is such a bustle? ”

Qin Ziqing asked the driver to stop the car, helped Su Yingxue get out of the car, and said, "I want to reunite with my family during the Chinese New Year." It's just that there are always lonely people in this world. Most people don't meet a master like your Su Mansion. Here's what I stumbled upon a few years ago. Some of them are lonely and widowed, some are widowed, some are widowed, and some are working in this city, and they can't get home during the New Year's Festival. It's better for the big guys to get together and have fun than to be alone. ”

Su Yingxue said: "That's true. I just don't know who started it? ”

"It's been here for some years, and everyone has come here voluntarily. Everyone will do something in their own way. The tables were set up by the young and strong men, and everyone would bring something to eat, and the woman would cook over there, and you see the two huts built by the roadside? It was also set up before tonight. After a while, these will be ready, those who can sing two sentences on the stage will still sing, and some people will prepare other programs, in short, there will be a lively time tonight. ”

As he spoke, he pulled Su Yingxue to sit down at a table. Su Yingxue said in a low voice: "Didn't you say that everyone who came had to contribute?" It's not appropriate for us to just sit down, right? ”

Qin Ziqing smiled: "Who told you that we didn't contribute? ”

Su Yingxue was puzzled: "We just came, where did we help?" ”

"You're just here, but I'm not. I bought the materials for the platform and the house built here, and the dishes on this table and the meat dishes were all ordered by me in advance so that they could be delivered. ”

As he was talking, an old man in a gray robe came, with gray hair, but his actions were still neat: "Qin Gongzi, I couldn't find you just now, but when you went back to the house, it turned out to be here." Hey, who is this? ”

"Oh, this is my cousin, surnamed Sue. She's okay at home, so I brought her here to join in the fun. He said to Su Yingxue again: "This is Uncle Zhou." ”

Su Yingxue followed Qin Ziqing's example and hugged her fists and saluted, and the old man twisted his beard and said, "Qin Gongzi bothers a lot about our affairs every year, and your brother is naturally also our friend." This drama is about to start, so it's fun tonight. I won't bother you. He said goodbye.

Su Yingxue asked, "Who is the old man this week?" ”

"Uncle Zhou is a native of Yangzhou. It's just that her wife and children both died decades ago. I heard that it was because of the death of his wife in childbirth, although the child was saved, but because of dystocia, it was congenital deficiency, and he died in less than a month. Uncle Zhou and her wife have a deep relationship, and the two most important people in his life have passed away one after another, which has hit him hard. He was sad for many years and refused to marry again. Now that I am older, the evening scene is inevitably more bleak. On Chinese New Year's Eve the year before last, he recognized a godson here, and he was very filial to him, and he saw that it was the one who was standing beside him and talking. Although he has a godson, the two of them feel that it is here that they still have to come every year. ”

Su Yingxue looked at the talking figure, very warm, and said to Qin Ziqing: "You are very familiar with the people here. ”

Qin Ziqing said: "Not all people are familiar with each other. This Uncle Zhou, I also heard people talk about it because of the incident the year before last. Because he is now in charge of this Chinese New Year's Eve feast, we have more contact. That's all. My father was also very strict with me, and I only sneaked around for a while in previous years. This year, I am sacrificing my life to accompany the 'gentleman'. ”

The gongs and drums suddenly sounded, Su Yingxue looked, saw someone walking out of the stage, first congratulated everyone on the auspicious New Year, and said a few auspicious words. In this gap, someone had already put the dishes on the table, and after a while, the table was full of people. The people on the stage reported the show, and then some people began to sing on stage.

The first performer is not young, he sings with his voice open, his voice is like a flood, although he is not as good as the troupe he invited, but he also sings very well.

The next one is an acrobatic artist, and this kind of performance is the most lively in the New Year's Festival, with all the effort on stage, and continuous applause from the audience.

……

Su Yingxue had a hard time coming out, although she looked lively and happy in front of her, she felt a little lonely and disappointed in her heart. Looking not far away, the lake was quietly lit and sparkling, and I couldn't help but stand up and walk towards the lake.

Qin Ziqing saw Su Yingxue walk away and hurriedly followed.

"What's wrong? Don't like it here? ”

Su Yingxue shook her head and denied: "I like it, it's just my own problem." ”

Qin Ziqing looked at Su Yingxue's lonely expression, and her eyes deepened: "Last time in the garden, you were going to talk to me, but you were interrupted. I've been busy lately, and I haven't had time to see you, and I don't have time to have a good chat with you. It's getting late today, and the time is approaching, and we still can't talk properly. Today is my poor arrangement, so that you took such a big risk to come out, but you can't have a good time. If we knew that this was the case, we might as well find a place to talk for a while. ”
