Chapter 44: The Lantern Festival (Part II)

The snow-soaked streets were swept clean early in the morning by the enthusiastic people of Jinzhou, rows of ropes were neatly hung on the eaves of the buildings, the men stood on the ladders, and the women were holding on to the bottom, handing lanterns.

The jubilant Jinzhou gives Jin You a feeling of home after a long absence, and she even sometimes thinks that this is her home.

lived in a small village in Yecheng for ten years, and lived in Uncle Ren's house for three years, and was later picked up by Yu Yu, and lived in Yu Youying for three years, just when she thought she was going to settle down, but because of a change, she stayed in the mansion of the prince of Daqi. She felt that the concept of home was very vague, and only now did she build a model of home.

Sometimes I feel that a place with Qi Ziluo is a home, but the pressure from all sides weighs heavily on everyone. One can only covet this temporary peace.

Jin You carefully cleaned up the house and cleaned every place, after all, this is the last day of the year and the end of another year.

"Hee-hee-hee, big brothers are coming to arrest me!"

"I'm here!"

“……”

Ren Jing gradually became the same as Qi Ziluo, he liked to make trouble with those children, and although the two quarreled, they became very good friends. It's often the flowers that bloom with Qi Ziluo, and they haven't been seen for a long time. Maybe it was taken away by Qi Ziluo, or maybe there was something secret to do.

Jin You cleaned up the house, and felt that there was something missing in the whole house, and he should go and buy something more.

Jin You took the money bag and went out, watching the red and ginger man frolicking and throwing snowballs with the children, others must have thought it strange, but Jin You felt that such a day was really happy.

Jin You tightened her pink-cotton cape with white patterns on it, which was her most colorful garment.

Jinyou put on a wide hat and left with a cloth bag without disturbing them. Qi Ziluo noticed her, left the children and pulled Ren Jing to walk with her.

"It's so much fun to play with the kids, you don't say hello when you leave." Jin You looked at the two of them. I had already heard their heavy footsteps.

"Buy a few candy men and give them a hand." Qi Ziluo looked at the lively street market all the way, looking at the objects that had never been seen before on the stall with a novel eye.

"Our Great Lord Qi just hasn't seen this civilian's thing." Ren Jing couldn't help but say a few words when he saw Qi Ziluo holding a small grasshopper woven of bamboo and rattan.

Qi Ziluo had naturally never seen such a small and delicate thing, so he pulled him over and asked:

"What is this? How is it the same as the real thing? ”

"It's a small grasshopper woven with bamboo and rattan, don't you think these craftsmen are particularly powerful?"

"Yes, yes!" Qi Ziluo kept nodding.

The old man who bought the object asked, "Do you need the two sons?" ”

"It's a pity that Ah Jin, this king didn't bring a penny."

"Your purse is for pretend?" Ren Jing pointed to the wallet that Jin You gave him around his waist, and Qi Ziluo replied very seriously:

"Yes, because it's good-looking."

Jin You didn't want to stay with them any longer, and after paying the silver, he had to buy some new hairpins, the blonde hairpin on his head was really bulky, if he could buy a stronger and lighter hairpin, it would be good for self-defense.

Jin You casually went to a jewelry shop and carefully picked up every hairpin hanging on the wall. Qi Ziluo and Ren Jing also came in in a noisy, and the little woman selling jewelry watched the every move of the two handsome men from time to time.

"Why did Ah Jin suddenly remember that he was a woman?" Qi Ziluo jumped up in front of Jin You and asked almost against her face, and Jin You could feel the sound of his breathing.

Ren Jing pulled him aside and glared at Qi Ziluo, and the two of them quarreled again, but Jin You kept picking up the hairpin.

After a while, the two of them gradually quieted down, and they each looked at something.

Jin You looked at the sandalwood carved hairpin very satisfied, it was just a simple small hibiscus, the slender end of the hairpin was polished very smooth and slender, and there was a layer of silver, if necessary, it was also very useful.

After Jin You bought this, she was about to leave, but Qi Ziluo wrapped his arm around her neck and gently led her to the table full of steps.

She followed his footsteps and twisted around, Qi Ziluo naturally put his arm on her shoulder and asked:

"Carrying a hairpin all day long like a widow, you see how beautiful the little girls' steps are on their heads."

You say I'm a widow, so when did you die? Jin You especially wanted to say this, but it was very inappropriate to say it because there was someone next to him.

Ren Jing was already surprised by Qi Ziluo's movements towards Jin You, and also put his arm on Qi Ziluo's shoulder, and pinched a bronze step shaker in his other hand, and carefully weighed it:

"It's pretty good."

"Yes, this king also thinks this step is good-looking just now."

"I saw it first."

"This king first proposed to see the step shake."

“……”

Jin You looked at the bronze step-shaking, slender body, a flower net, a small white jade bead in the middle of the flower net, and then three silver ropes with white jade beads were strung under the flower net.

After Jin You took it from Ren Jing's hand, he felt very beautiful, but it seemed that he couldn't use it, so he weighed it in his hand, and couldn't help asking:

"Sister thinks this step is worthy of me?"

The little woman was a little embarrassed by this beautiful girl, she looked like a girl in a painting, and a little powder was very beautiful.

"People are handsome, but this step is not worthy of you." The little woman praised her twice, and Jin You naturally bought it, looking at the two small jewelry in her hand with love.

I passed by the candy man and took a few back.

I bought a lot of fruits along the way, Qi Ziluo only cared about eating candy, and Ren Jing helped Jin You with things.

"Don't eat the child." Ren Jing was afraid that he would do such a thing. But I really finished eating, and I still took out this fruit to eat.

What was left for Qi Ziluo was the disgust on the faces of Jin You and Ren Jing.

"Brother Ziluo!" A crisp female voice came from the door of the inn, Wei Wanyan and Wei Bian stood in front of the door, the carriage had been set up, and it seemed that they had been here for a long time.

Jin You beckoned them into the house and put everything away, Jin You peeled the oranges, and opened his thin lips lightly:

"What other activities will there be in Jinzhou for a while?"

"At this time, it's interesting, we can go to the play, we can watch them play acrobatics, and we can listen to some people play erhu!" Wei Wanyan said as she helped peel the oranges.

"Just the two of you?" Ren Jing asked curiously, the people they often followed didn't come.

"It's just the two of us, there's no problem with the emperor's martial arts!" Wei Wanyan said innocently.

"Ah Jin is Ziluo's bodyguard." After saying that, someone looked at Jin You confidently.

Hearing this voice, Ren Jing felt sick in his heart. I was afraid that I would really vomit if I said it again, so I kept eating those fresh grapes.

Jin You looked at Wei Yan puzzled, there were only two people, there were so many people today, how could there be no problem.

Wei Yan glanced at her meaningfully and took a sip of tea.

"Tonight's drama must be good."
