The orange lantern hung in the distance, and after finding a small restaurant on the side of the road and eating twilight food, Xun Zhou sent Wen Mingtang back to Dali Temple, and said apologetically: "Sister Mingtang, I will come to the Lantern Festival to look for you later!" ”

On the way back, they met a protégé of Yu sacrificial wine and came over, Wang He, who was out to visit friends, was brought back by Yu sacrificial wine, and heard that he was chanting poetry and fighting wine in Xianyang, and he was too drunk and drunk, and Xun Zhou naturally wanted to rush to take care of the drunk teacher.

Wen Mingtang let out a "hmm", looked at Xun Zhou who was anxious in front of him, and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't come!" I made an appointment with Ah Bing and Tang Yuan to watch the lantern festival together, and there will be no shortage of people to accompany me! ”

Xun Zhou: "......" is really the first time to meet such a straightforward little lady, this character is really like a teacher!

With a sigh, Xun Zhou arched his hand at her and turned to leave.

When he returned to the house, he took a moon cake out to nibble on, and looked up to see that the round moon like a silver plate was considered to have been appreciated, Wen Mingtang lowered his head and opened the newly bought book.

As we all know, half of the story is gone, and the following is the most annoying!

When I flip through the book, time always flies exceptionally fast! Wen Mingtang only felt as if he had only turned a few pages, and then he heard the voice of the rice balls sounding from outside the courtyard.

"Master Wen, we're looking for you!"

Putting down the notebook, Wen Mingtang walked out.

Outside was Ah Bingtong Tangyuan, who had changed into a new dress, and before Wen Mingtang could speak, Ah Bingtong Tangyuan pointed to Wen Mingtang's clothes and said: "Master Wen's new clothes are really spiritual!" ”

A few errand officers who stayed in Dali Temple for night happened to pass by at this time, and when they heard the praise of the "spirit" of the two children, they couldn't help but hold their foreheads: praising people and praising the spirit, it's really ......

That's it! They are here in Dali Temple, and they are not the country eunuchs next door, so this kind of thing is fate!

Wen Mingtang, who was praised for his "spirit", "reciprocated the peach", and also praised the two of them for their "spirit", and the three of them wore new clothes like this, and went out with snacks such as fried chestnuts and mung bean cakes prepared by Wen Mingtang.

If you are hungry when shopping, you can "make up for it" at any time, but don't treat yourself badly!

By the time the three of them walked out of Dali Temple, it was already the beginning of the lanterns. The three of them chatted while walking, and when they walked to Zhengyang Street, where the lantern festival was held, there were already many people on the street.

Because it was still early, the three of them could still walk all the way.

The streets were much more lively than usual: there were jugglers who could "spit fire", "drill fire rings", and "break big stones on their chests", and there were more vendors of all kinds, some selling snacks, some selling small gadgets such as Luban locks and delicate buckles, and more selling all kinds of lanterns and masks.

Because of these days, Liu Yuan and Bai Zhu have been making lanterns, and Wen Mingtang and the others don't feel that it is very fresh.

However, those who watched all kinds of masks were interested, especially those who were lively rabbit masks, cat masks, and fox masks, and they felt cute and tight at a glance!

Seeing Ah Bing and Tang Yuan picking masks with great interest, Wen Mingtang was also interested, seeing that one of the two picked a rabbit and the other picked a cat, for the two of them were different, Wen Mingtang picked a fox mask, and then the three of them happily put on masks and prepared to go to the lantern festival.

But before he could take two steps, the joy quickly vanished.

Looking at the pedestrians with all kinds of masks on the street, at a glance, whether it is a rabbit or a cat, or a fox, Chang'e, Tianpeng, Wu Gang, etc., they can catch a handful.

The three of them looked at each other and took off their masks in unison.

Bolting the mask back to his waist, Tang Yuan said stupidly: "If you get separated while wearing this mask, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anyone!" ”

It's not just glutinous rice balls that feel this way!

Looking at the masked pedestrians all over the street, with the fireworks rising in the streets and alleys, the festive atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting stronger and stronger, standing on the high platform, you can hear the laughter from the streets below.

The people who came out to go shopping were very happy, but instead of seeing the slightest smile on the faces of several Jingzhao Mansion officials wearing official robes on the stage, their faces became more and more sad.

At this moment, several errand servants ran up to the high platform from the crowd from the audience, and hurriedly said: "I lost three more in a while!" ”

As he spoke, he threw the masks of Chang'e, a rabbit and a cat in his hand into the pile of masks that had been scattered and scattered.

The messenger said with an ugly face: "I have asked my relatives and friends, and the answer is similar!" This mask Yuxue is cute, the little ladies like it, so they bought it and put it on, and then when there were more people, they immediately dispersed, and when they turned around and wanted to find someone, they pulled away the same mask around them, but they didn't see it...... Ahem......"

Because of the urgency of the words, the messenger choked on a cough.

Another errand officer hurriedly answered: "After looking for most of the day, I couldn't find anyone, so these relatives and friends were in a hurry, and came to look for me and wait for the official!" ”

The errand who coughed a little more slowly said, "I have been looking for most of the day, and I have only found these masks scattered on the streets. But the streets are full of such masks, and I don't know if it's theirs! ”

The more the officer said, the more ugly the faces of the officials of Jingzhao Mansion became, and after the officer finished speaking, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion couldn't help jumping his feet anxiously: "It's just started, and before the lantern festival is turned on, I lost more than a dozen young ladies who are just right, how can this be done?" ”

Every festival there must be a lost little lady! Some of them were just separated from their families, and they came back after looking for them. Even if there is an unfortunate abductor, which time is it like today, when the night has just begun, and a dozen of them have been lost?

If it's just bad luck, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival will be a shame! Can it be ...... When I thought of the little ladies who were lost a few days ago: they were all ordinary years, delicate and even beautiful little ladies.

In just a few days, so many little ladies have been lost, it would be strange if Chang'an City was "making a mistake" and "bad luck" this year!

"I don't know who did it, it's hateful!" Jingzhao Mansion Yin gritted his teeth and scolded his mother, turned his head and asked the errand officer beside him, "Have you asked about the Qingreal Building?" Let's see if there is a Qinglou that suddenly overcharged a lot of little ladies who don't know where to come? ”

The messenger said: "I have been interrogated, and no one has come out of the Qinglou with many young ladies!" Even if there are one or two more, it is also unlucky to have a vicious elder or a gambling brother, and I have searched inside and out, but I haven't seen these little ladies! ”

"Where are the human teeth?" Jingzhao Mansion Yin said, "Especially those who do business in foreign countries! ”

The servant shook his head and said, "No." Because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, many even went home early for the holiday. is staying in Chang'an City, and there are not more such things than usual in recent days, and every little girl in her hand can tell the way, and I have never heard of an old opponent in the circle who suddenly has more people! ”

"Where's the station?" Jingzhao Mansion Yin asked again, "If you kidnap people, you must pass through the post station, can there be a suspicious 'horse-drawn carriage' passing by?" ”

The officer shook his head: "No! Every time the festival is approaching, whether it is the post station or the city gate guards, they are very vigilant, and they have never heard of these things! ”

"And where did these lost little ladies go?" Jingzhao Mansion Yin pointed to the crowd surging all over the street, and said angrily, "Could it be that you are all lost?" ”
