Chapter Seventy-Five: The Adventures of the Lantern Show (2) (3rd Update)

When the man saw Xiao Yue, he frowned and said to the boss, "Boss, whose bowl of wontons is it?"

Yun Yan pulled Xiaoyue's sleeve on the side, "Forget it, son, let's wait." ”

Originally, Satsuki didn't want to worry about this good-looking man, but listening to the boss's words aroused her competitive spirit.

"Childe, this bowl is yours, they just came and haven't ordered yet. The boss said slowly.

Xiao Yue slapped the table and said loudly to the boss: "Obviously we ordered three bowls of wontons, why are we lying." ”

The old man touched his head and said, "Where do you order food, I haven't heard it at all." ”

Seeing that they were arguing, the proprietress came over and said, "I'm sorry, the old man has his ears behind his ears, I guess I didn't hear it, so let's cook your wontons in the next pot immediately." ”

Xiaoyue is not a very unreasonable person, and seeing the two elderly people explain like this, she is a lot more angry. However, when she turned around, she just saw the good-looking man, who picked up the bowl with a nonchalant look and ate the wonton stew in a big gulp, and a nameless fire rose in her heart.

"I'm not unreasonable, but there's a first-come-first-served approach to everything. Although she was talking to the boss, she actually told the man that the man didn't hear it, and who knew that the man didn't pay attention to her at all.

Seeing this, Yun Yan pulled Xiaoyue over and said, "Son, dissipate your anger, it's really not good, let's eat in another store." ”

"No," Xiao Yueniu lost her temper, she stood beside this good-looking man, "Some people don't know if they like to take advantage of it, they cut in line, and they don't even say a word." ”

Before Xiaoyue's words fell, the man poured a bowl of wontons into his stomach after dividing five by two, "Boss, collect money." He stood up a head taller than Satsuki.

"Childe, a copper plate. The boss rubbed his hands with a rag, and the man handed over the money.

After paying the money, the man didn't look at Xiao Yue, strode into the crowded crowd in front of the vendor without looking back.

Xiao Yue looked at this person's back, and suffered a loss, feeling useless.

Xu Chengchang has been watching from the side, and seeing that his master has not been bullied, he has not said anything, but now that Xiaoyue is angry, he hurriedly comforted: "Childe, this person doesn't know etiquette, you don't have to spoil your body for such popularity." ”

Satsuki felt that what he said made sense, and since the boss had already cooked their wontons, she didn't say anything.

After the three of them finished eating the wontons and wandered around the streets again, Xiaoyue bought a jade pendant of a bat and a pair of white jade earrings, ready to give her son and sister.

Yun Yan fell in love with a pair of silk flowers, and Xu Chengchang was behind them in charge of payment.

When Satsuki was having fun, suddenly the crowd began to surge.

"Don't squeeze, don't squeeze!" Yun Yan was worried that there were too many people, squeezing Xiaoyue, she and Xu Chengchang stood around Xiaoyue, helping to block the flow of people.

"What's going on?" Satsuki curiously cushioned her feet and looked at the crowd flowing in one direction.

Xu Chengchang was a little taller, he looked around and said, "Childe, I'm afraid these people are going in the direction of the imperial city gate." ”

Xiao Yue thought for a moment and asked, "What time is it?"

Yun Yan looked at the sky and said, "It is estimated that it is almost time." ”

Xu Chengchang said: "Childe, these people must be going to see the new emperor, let's retreat into the alley to avoid it first, and after these people are gone, we will come out again." ”

Satsuki nodded, and the three of them walked towards the alley next to them.

The alley is much darker than the main street, flanked by high walls, and deep into the depths. The left and right sides of the alley look like houses built by people with big gates, and after walking for a while, I saw the gate of a house, with a pair of stone lions at the door, and also hanging lanterns, Xiaoyue took a closer look, this lantern is very interesting.

Other people's lanterns are framed with wooden or bamboo strips, then covered with translucent white paper, and then painted on them, and candles are lit inside, and the lantern is ready.

And in front of Xiao Yue, the family did use a metal like copper, and then used gold leaf to ring it, no painting, no candles, this gold leaf alone is bright enough, as shiny as 24k gold.

Xiao Yue thought to herself whose home this was, so arrogant, but Yun Yan beside her took her hand and said, "Childe, let's not go deep into this alley, I think it's too deserted here, I'm afraid it's not safe." ”

Xiao Yue looked at the lantern in front of her, it looked like a horse from a distance, but it looked like a weapon from a close distance, it was indescribably weird, she nodded, "Okay, let's go here, and return to the main street in a while." ”

As soon as Xiao Yue's words fell, she heard a squeak, and the door of the house next to her opened half open.

A head poked out of the door, looked around, and when he saw Satsuki and them standing at the door, the man stared at Satsuki for a long time.

Xiao Yue also knew that it was not polite to stand at the door of someone else's house, so she took Xu Chengchang and them in the direction of the main street, and after a few steps, she heard someone talking behind her.

"This son, please stay. Satsuki heard a young voice, and she turned around to see a young man dressed as a small guy looking at her.

"Are you calling me?" Satsuki was a little curious.

The man snorted inside his nose and sneered, "Look around, is there anyone else besides you?"

This person's words were disrespectful, and Xiao Yue was disgusted. "And what did you call me for?"

"Can't stay here, if you're not coming to my host, please leave as soon as possible. The man looked like he was full of words.

Xiao Yue snorted and said, "Your dog saw me stop here? We were just passing by and were about to leave." ”

This person was about to argue with Xiao Yue, but suddenly changed his face, and said earnestly: "Childe, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Xiao Yue looked behind him, a person came out of the dark alley, wearing a black brocade robe, and when his face was illuminated by the lantern in front of the door, Xiao Yue found that this person was somewhat familiar.

"Huh. Yun Yan whispered, "Didn't this person see this person at the wonton stall just now?"

Xiao Yue remembered that this person was the good-looking man who had just grabbed wontons with her.

"Erwen, has your master come back?" The man chatted with the little guy as if he couldn't see Xiao Yue and the three of them.

"Hui Gongzi, he hasn't come back yet. The little maid's face was full of flattery, "Why don't you go into the house and wait for him?"

The man waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll come back later." With that, he turned and walked in the direction of Main Street.

Xiao Yue glared at Xiao Wu, and left the alley with Yun Yan and Xu Chengchang.

"Look at the appearance of that house, either a big official or a rich businessman. Yun Yan guessed as she walked.

"Look at the arrogance of the little guy, it is estimated that he is a big official. Xu Chengchang said on the side.

Xiao Yue said indignantly: "It doesn't matter if he is a big official or a rich businessman, you can see the master's moral character from the subordinates." ”

Yun Yan hid her face and smiled, and said, "I know, Xu Chengchang and I will definitely not embarrass my son when we are outside in the future." ”

Xiao Yue's face improved a little after hearing this, "Is it not easy to go out today, but I have encountered these unhappy things." ”

Yun Yan comforted: "It's okay, let's go to the riverside pier, put river lanterns there, and take away all the bad luck." ”

"En. Satsuki was in a slightly better mood, and the three of them walked towards the river together.
