The streets are brightly lit, and the night is like day, and red lanterns are hung in front of every house, indicating that the new year is prosperous.

The lantern wheels, lamp trees, lampposts, and the fire trees and silver flowers all over the city are reflecting the poem, "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain." ”

This year's Midyear Festival is more lively than in previous years, playing dragon and lion, stepping on stilts, setting off fireworks and sky lanterns, and the wide streets are filled with bustling crowds, and the cries of selling are endless.

In the center of the most prosperous street in the city of Changge, a huge lantern wheel is placed, as high as 20 zhang, the top is wrapped with colorful silk brocade, decorated with gold and silver, and the lantern wheel hangs 50,000 lanterns, just like the colorful and glowing flowers and trees.

"Wow, that's beautiful. Rong Xi walked in the front, and she couldn't help but praise loudly when she saw the huge light wheel.

Rong Yao accompanied Rong Zhao and said, "Of course it's beautiful, I heard that it took two months to make it, and hundreds of people were used manually." ”

"Then it must cost a lot of money, is it made by the people in Changge City?" Rong Zhao couldn't help but be attracted by the glorious lantern wheel in front of him, this lantern wheel is very exquisite, not to mention the lanterns, the silk and gold and silver alone will cost a lot of money.

A brown-clothed man next to him heard their conversation and stepped forward and said, "It's a lantern shop owner who made it with his own money, and he also specially prepared a series of show games tonight, and this lantern wheel was used as the final prize." ”

The man saw that a few of them were dressed up richly, and thought that they were young masters and young ladies from large families, so he said: "What is involved are poems and songs, or lantern riddle couplets, young masters and young ladies can give it a try." He smiled innocently and shrunk his hand in his cotton sleeve, "We are all coarse, we can't even guess a lantern riddle, and we will throw silver in vain to try." ”

"Huh? You still have to pay to participate in the game. Rong Xi asked.

"No, a person needs a tael of silver. "The people said.

Rong Zhao smiled lightly, investing so much human and financial resources, how could it be in vain, of course, you have to think about the law to earn it back. This merchant is quite smart, on the one hand, he makes a sign, and on the other hand, he uses it to make money, killing two birds with one stone. There is also this big light wheel, where you can win if you want to win, the question is from the merchant, and the answer is also in their hands, when the time comes, find a few people to cheat, and how will this wind wheel fall into the hands of others.

"It's just a tael of silver, not enough for me to eat a few pastries. "How can a young lady from a big family like Rong Xi Rong Zhao know that the world is poor, a tael of silver is just a few pastries and a sip of tea in their eyes, but in the eyes of an ordinary person, it may be a few months' food money.

As soon as the man heard this, he confirmed his previous conjecture, "Miss is naturally wealthy, so of course she doesn't look at these two pieces of silver." But people like us who are flat-headed, let alone a tael of silver, even a penny is eager to break it into ten petals to flower. After speaking, he was a little embarrassed, "Poor people, spending some money is like cutting meat." ”

"Okay, let's go, I still have important programs waiting for you, don't delay here. Rong Yao listened a little impatiently and urged to leave. He's already made an appointment, and seeing that the time is coming, don't let people wait.

Leaving the lively crowd, Rong Yao took them to the Dongcheng River.

At this time, it is the early spring, the river is open, and there is a delicate painting boat parked on the riverside, and various lanterns are hung around the painting boat, and the bridge head is wrapped in colorful silk paper, which is particularly prominent among the painting boats.

However, Rong Zhao was a little strange, there were even guards around this painting boat, and the other painting boats were far away, obviously there were big people.

And the direction that Rong Yao took them in was the painting boat.

When he arrived at the door, Rong Zhao suddenly stopped, and Rong Yao said, "Why stop, go." ”

Rong Zhao was suspicious in his heart, "What are you bringing me for?"

Rong Yao dragged her away, "What's the problem, don't you know when you go in." ”

When Rong Zhao went in and saw the people inside, he knew that he had been deceived, why did he take him to a good place, it turned out that he had made an appointment with someone else and tricked her.

She knew where Rong Yao was so kind, so she sold her.

"Cousin?" Rong Xi's face was full of surprise, the joy seemed to fill his entire chest, and he ran to Xiao Jinyu's side in one go, and almost threw himself into his arms, "Cousin, why are you here?"

After the surprise, she found that she was rude, and she blessed Xiao Jinyu slightly, and her face was as bright as a rose, "His Royal Highness King Jin Wan'an." ”

"This is outside the palace, how can there be so many courtesies, let's call my cousin. Xiao Jinyu smiled gently, touched her head, and looked at Rong Zhao again, "Zhao Zhao come and sit." ”

His voice seemed to be a Gu, gurgling like a clear stream, which made people can't help but indulge.

It's just that Rong Zhao is already immune to this, and this bewitching voice sounds to her like a poppy, although beautiful but deadly.

There is a round table in the middle of the painting boat, which is set up next to the window, and Rong Yao sits down to drink tea when he enters. She didn't salute Xiao Jinyu, he himself said that he didn't need to be polite outside the palace. She Shi Shiran walked over and sat next to Rong Yao, Rong Yao saw that she was sitting with herself, and Rong Xi was sitting on the other side of her, so she wanted to get up and make way for Xiao Jinyu. Rong Zhao's eyes were quick, and when he went up, he pinched the inside of his thigh, and it hurt so much that Rong Yao could still get up.

Rong Yao bared his teeth at Rong Zhao, and was about to speak, when Rong Zhao hit him hard, and he immediately shut up.

Xiao Jinyu didn't care that Rong Zhao didn't say hello, and his face was still like a spring breeze. He wanted to be on the other side of Rong Zhao just now, but Rong Xi took the first step and sat down next to Rong Zhao.

There was a slight swell between his brows, and after a moment, he sat down with it.

"Enjoying the lights on the river and watching the fire from the window, there is a special interest. Rong Yao's mouth didn't stop for a moment, his position was right in front of the window, he looked out and sighed.

"Yes, this place is quiet, not as noisy as the bazaar, but you can see everything, and I have chosen it for a long time. Xiao Jinyu stroked his palm, and a servant penetrated and brought up exquisite food one after another. He personally sandwiched a few snacks and served them to Rong Zhao, "Does Zhao Zhao like it?"

Rong Zhao did not refuse, picked it up and tasted it, smiled at him, and said, "Very good." "It's two very simple words, and I don't know if it's the scenery or the food. After speaking, she ate with her head bored, as if she only had food in her eyes.

How to say it, this man is a cheap skin, you are good to him, he doesn't care, but if you leave him, he will care more about you.

Seeing Rong Zhao only care about eating, Xiao Jinyu had a warm smile on her lips, as if any of her movements was cute, and even he would feel that seeing her eat so deliciously, his stomach was hungry.
