Li Dan nodded slightly, and the person who took care of the shop took the mask and handed it to You'an: "The little lady is really good-looking, this mask ...... Well, it won't fade for a few years. ”

The man looked embarrassed, the masks here are expensive, and when a buyer chooses, he always has to say a few nice words of flattery, if it is an ordinary woman, choose some cute or fancy patterns, it is easy to say anything. But this woman, who looked thin and petite, chose a blue-faced fanged appearance, and he could only praise it for its good quality.

You'an couldn't help but smile softly, knowing that the person in charge of the shop was deliberately looking for something nice to say, and he didn't say anything, and rubbed his fingers lightly on the oil paint that had dried up, and then covered his face all over his face.

Li Dan swept around between all the masks, raised his finger and pointed to a painting of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, and put the silver taels on the mahogany table in front of the shelf. The masks here are famous, and the prices are not cheap, so even on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, there are not many customers. The person who took care of the shop took the silver tael diligently, took off the mask that Li Dan had chosen, and held it in front of him with both hands.

You'an's two dark eyes peeked out from the eyeholes of the God of War mask, staring at Li Dan and asking, "You want to pretend to be a Xuannu?" ”

"Why not?" Li Dan took the mask with his slender fingers and lightly buckled it on his face, "The streets of Shangyuan Festival are full of men and women traveling together, since you have chosen the God of War, I will use Xuannu to match you, it is very suitable." Ancient books record that Xuannu once offered the Yellow Emperor a method to defeat the enemy and help the Yellow Emperor become a generation of war gods, which is also very good. ”

Originally, there were some feminine patterns of Xuannu, lined on his tall and elegant figure, not only did not look feminine, but brought a bit of mysterious beauty that people dare not look at.

Li Dan held You'an's hand and whispered in her ear: "There are many people today, you have to follow me closely, but don't get lost." ”

You'an's head jumped, and he couldn't see through whether he was casually admonishing or had a deep meaning, so he could only let him hold his hand and follow him towards the crowded place.

There is a hustle and bustle everywhere, this is the best time for the empire, the war at the time of the founding of the country has passed too long, and now the imperial power is stable, even the harem has no twists and turns, and no one dares to challenge the position of the queen of heaven's middle palace. There are occasional wars on the border, but the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have always been very brave, sometimes winning and sometimes losing, but they have never lost an inch of land.

Jugglers from the Western Regions perform their best skills topless. You'an was thinking of the little snake that Li Dan had controlled with the sound of the flute before, so Li Dan leaned over and talked to her: "I know all the tricks that these people know." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the artist with a light golden beard suddenly took out a short sword more than five inches long and put it into his mouth little by little, and finally only a short hilt was exposed. There was an exclamation from the crowd of onlookers, You'an looked at Li Dan playfully, Li Dan took her hand and pulled her out of the circle formed by the crowd, and said to him left and right: "It's just a trick, it's very naïve, let's go quickly, after the performance, the bearded man is about to start asking for a reward." ”

You'an was dragged by him, and walked forward for an unknown distance, and his heart was in a trance, if they were all ordinary people in the mortal world, would they be able to enjoy the peace of this Shangyuan night in this world. But in a peaceful and prosperous world, where is it so easy, it's just that someone is struggling to support in a dark corner that everyone can't see.

After leaving the crowd, the cold wind blew, and You'an couldn't help coughing. Li Dan felt that she was not as relaxed and casual as before, and took her hand and took her to the less crowded side: "There will be a lot of places to guess lantern riddles tonight, and the most famous shops over there are only prizes and not for sale." Let's go and see, which one you like, and I'll win it for you. ”

"What a big breath," You'an's voice echoed with a hum through the mask, "I don't know what I want." ”

"How can it be the same as what you guessed for yourself, and what I won for you?" Li Dan replied so naturally, as if he had really come to visit the lamp market with his newlywed wife at this moment.

You'an turned his face away, just in time to see a huge lantern half a person tall hanging from the branches of a thick ancient tree in the most crowded place. The lamp was not a common animal or human figure, but a delicate and beautiful tower. Someone struggled to squeeze in, and said to his companion: "Look at that lantern in the shape of a mysterious and exquisite tower, I don't know who can have the ability tonight and win this lamp to go back." ”

When he turned his face back again, An now stood in front of the two of them at some point, with his long light-colored curly hair tied up at will, and his hands on his chest: "You two are too far away, I followed all the way here, and you didn't even notice it, just biting your ears back and forth." He raised his chin, pointed at Li Dan and said, "I have stolen your money bag and put it back." ”

You'an subconsciously looked at Li Dan's waist, Li Dan sneered through the mask, looked at An Xian with his eyes, but said to You'an: "Do you believe he is talking nonsense? If he really has the ability to take anything from me, I'll write his surname upside down. ”

An was about to return the favor now, when he suddenly came back to his senses: "Don't talk about my surname, if you want to say it, just say your own, see that my Chinese is learned later, and you can't just tease me for fun." ”

You'an already knew that when the two of them met, they would inevitably have to quarrel, and when they were happy, they turned their eyes back to the lantern made in the shape of a mysterious and exquisite pagoda, and whispered: "I want that one." ”

Li Dan followed her gaze, almost without thinking about it, and told her to stand where she was and wait, he was going to win the lamp for her.

It was a veritable "king of lights" on this night, the biggest and most dazzling, and the way to win it was naturally not so simple. On the towering tree, the branches around are hung with lantern riddles, only by climbing the crumbling branches, can you take off those riddles to see the riddle, to guess six riddles in a row, in order to get the lantern.

There are already more daring people who have come forward to try, and those who don't have any skills can't even see the riddle. Those who can see the riddle will fall from the branch if they are not careful. The lantern has been hung up for a long time, and no one has yet taken it.

Li Dan walked closer, jumped lightly, took off the first lantern riddle, looked at it a few times, and then shouted to the owner of the lantern: "The riddle is the bottle character of the wine bottle, right?" ”

The master was an old man with a white beard, twisting his beard and nodding slightly.
