Looking at the beautiful scenery that belonged to her alone at night, Ji Liu smiled slightly, squatted down, she gently stirred the surface of the river, and muttered to herself: "Alas, what is the relationship between grandpa and Sheng Mansion?" ”

At this time, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know how many things Ji had hidden, and whether these things would take Ji away from her one day in the future?

She was sad in her heart, raised her head to look at the crescent moon hanging in the sky, and before she could look at the moon, as far as her eyes could see, a black figure suddenly appeared crawling out of the lake, standing at the other end of Baihua Lake with her hair scattered, and quickly rushed into the bamboo forest opposite.

Ji Liu only had time to see the pale side face, and the man disappeared like a ghost.

She was so frightened that she froze in place, and only when the sound of bamboo leaves disappeared in the bamboo forest did she slowly get up.

Ji Liu tried hard to suppress the ghost words that were about to be shouted out of his mouth, turned his head and just wanted to run back to the inn, but his feet slipped and plopped, and half of his body stepped into the river.

The lobby of the Fortune Inn.

Xiao Er is napping, tomorrow will be the Hundred Flowers Festival, these two days the inn people come and go without rest.

"Hey, wake up, wake up." Xiao Er was woken up by the sound of being buckled on the table in a daze, and the man in front of him was full of fat, and he saw that he usually didn't eat less, and the buttons of his clothes were tied in the wrong place.

While speaking, something was thrown in front of Xiao Er's eyes, and a crisp sound sounded: "Tianzi No. 2 room sends a bucket of hot water up." ”

Looking at the silver nuggets on the table, Xiao Er smiled and said, "Okay, wait a minute." "After all, the shopkeeper often says that those who spend money in the inn are the masters, and no matter how unhappy they are, they have to endure it.

The inn was full of smiles, and Ji Liu outside the inn didn't dare to turn back the whole time, running all the way, leaving only his eyes squinted so that he could see the road in front of him.

It wasn't until she completely returned to the room and leaned against the door that she was relieved, she leaned against the wall and listened to the next door, there was no sound, and she wanted to remember that he hadn't come back yet.

She withdrew her hand from the door, but it touched a damp patch, and she couldn't help but complain: "Most of this body is wet." "After a month of rainy weather, my body was always wrapped in sticky and clammy cold, and I just saw it in the past two days, but I stepped straight into the lake.

"Gotta get some water to wash." The spring is cold, and the bottom of the lake is very cold.

Ji Liu changed into clean clothes and went downstairs, she saw Xiao Er walking towards the kitchen with an empty bucket, the bucket was still steaming, she asked, "Xiao Er, is there still a lot of hot water?" "She had to pack up before she got back to the inn.

Even if she was lucky, the man who asked for water in the second room of Tianzi didn't use much, so he fell asleep with Wenxiang nephrite, and Xiao Er nodded busily: "Yes, there are some of them, which room is the guest officer, and the small one will be sent to you." ”

"Dizi No. 5 room, trouble faster, thank you." Listening to Ji Liu's thanks, Xiao Erzuo said that he didn't dare, things came in a hurry, it was very convenient, and it was too late for him to be happy.

Fortunately, Ji Mou's legs and feet were inconvenient, and when he returned to the inn, Ji Liu had already washed it in the dark. Xu was too late, Ji didn't come to her room to take a look, but let Ji Liu dodge.

Early in the morning, Ji Liu was woken up by the endless shouting and selling.

"Girl, do you want to see rouge?"

"Oh, the girl has such a good eye. It's a new color, and it's like a peach blossom on your face. "The spring light shines through the window into the room, splitting the room in two in an instant.

The early morning light, coupled with the shouts of the crowd, disturbed her sleepiness anymore, but she fell asleep too late last night, and she was still sleepy and couldn't open her eyes, so she could only bury her head and get up, sitting on the bed stunned.

After her thoughts returned, she went to Xiao Er to get some steamed buns after washing up and treat her restless belly.

Xiao Er's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon, and asked her with a smile: "Why don't you go out and have a look?" Although the Hundred Flowers Festival is only lively in the evening, these vendors come early, and there are many delicious foods. ”

How could Ji Liu not know that there was a food stall outside, but think about the chicken soup and small wontons, fresh meat buns, and osmanthus glutinous rice cakes outside......

Touching the wallet in his pocket again, he didn't even dare to step out of the inn door.

She swallowed her saliva, and shamelessly said under the guise of Ji Mou: "My grandfather said that you should be careful when you go out to spend money. "So hurry up and get her steamed buns, in case she can't help but eat and drink, the grandfather and grandson will have a conflict.

After listening to her, Xiao Er Dao Jiliu is really well-behaved and sensible, but the old man who is with her has a very strange temper. He hurriedly fetched two steamed buns, and Ji Liu took the things and went back to the room happily.

I was obviously out to play, but when it was time to go, I didn't want to move anymore. The two of them nested in the inn for a whole day, and it was not until the Hundred Flowers Festival officially began in the evening that they went out leisurely.

Ji Liu helped Ji all the way, crossed two streets, and saw the main street where the tide came and went.

The Hundred Flowers Festival tour path is connected by three east-west streets, which are slowly developed along the Hundred Flowers Lake, and the lanterns are hung on both sides of the road, and the crowds and vendors on the streets are clearly visible.

Ji Mou's legs and feet are inconvenient and he can't accompany her around, Ji Liu will find a place for Ji to sit down every time and walk around him by himself.

This time she stopped in front of a vendor selling some trinkets, and the stall owner greeted him warmly: "Little girl, see what you like." ”

Ji Liu has always disliked hanging some small objects on his body, and he is uncomfortable working in the field. She would walk to the front of the stall because she saw a familiar style of footrope.

The foot rope is a diamond knot made of red thread, and a silver lotus bell is hung in the middle, which is obviously a simple style, but it brings Ji Liu an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if this thing should be set on his feet and neck, and it should have been set for a long, long time.

"I've seen a string of kittens and dogs, but I've never seen a string of lotus." Ji Liu took the footrope in his hand and looked at it carefully.

After listening to Liu's words, the stall owner guessed that it was the first time for her to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival, and introduced with a smile: "It's just a scene, and the vendors who make gadgets nearby have produced all kinds of lotus-shaped ornaments." It's usually not for sale, so it's time to take it out for a lottery. ”

Ji Liu held it in her hand, rubbing it carefully, and the stall owner saw that she liked this very much, so she said: "If the girl really likes it, take Shiwen away." ”

"Ten cents? This silver lotus is more than ten wen, right? Ji Liu picked up the silver lotus and shook it, and from time to time there was the sound of a bell hitting the inner wall of the lotus.

"You have also found out that this silver lotus is bud-shaped, and the current girls love the nine-petal lotus shape, which is not delicate and does not please the little girl," the stall owner finished speaking, worried that Ji Liu Sheng would be picky, and then added: "Actually, this kind of flower is better than the nine-petal lotus, and it is rare to not hit the style, and a bell is specially added to it, and it is very crisp to walk." ”

Ji Liu listened to what the stall owner said, and from time to time picked up the silver lotus and shook it, listening to the familiar sound from time to time, as if listening to the sound of the Buddha, calming her restless heart.

She glanced at Ji, who was sitting on the side, in a daze with a cane, walked over and handed him the footrope, and asked, "Grandpa, I want to buy a small bell for ten cents, is it okay?" ”

Ji looked at the footrope in her hand, took out five taels of silver from her arms and handed it to Ji Liu.

"You earn the money, you can buy whatever you want, you don't need to ask me." The girl who was supposed to wear gold and silver hesitated for a long time for ten cents, and he really didn't understand why Ji Liu always felt that there was no money at home.

Ji Liu was in charge early, knowing that it was difficult to make money, she held five taels of silver, smashed her mouth, only picked a few broken silver to make one tael, and then stuffed the remaining silver back into Ji Mou's hand, and said: "One or two silver is enough, you can't put the money on me, and if you don't care, it will be used up." ”

After she gave the money to the stall owner, she directly tied the foot rope and helped Ji to walk with a jingle bell, brisk and smart.

"You can't just make money, you have to learn how to use it. If I'm not there in the future, what will you do alone? ”

"Bah, don't talk nonsense, why aren't you here?" When Ji Liu heard such an unlucky conversation, she couldn't help but stop it, she looked at Ji Mou, and said seriously word by word: "I want to be with my grandfather forever." ”

Ji Mou pretended not to hear, he knew in his heart that it was a day when people were separated, especially when he and Ji Liu: "You should keep it in mind, after all, when you grow up, grandpa will be old, which is destined to be separated." ”

The grandfather and grandson were talking and strolling, and the crowd on the street suddenly rushed in, pushing the two of them to the west.

"Who from the Sheng family came out to pray for blessings this time?" The two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls next to Ji Liu asked excitedly, and they held hands and tried to push away the people in front of them.

Soon after, a woman's scream came from ahead, and the excitement could be felt from afar.

She also heard the news coming back from the front, and a certain girl's voice was loud: "Oh my God, it's Master Sheng who came out this time, and the Sheng family's big house is the first time to participate in the Hundred Flowers Festival!" I was so lucky. ”

Ji Liu plucked out his ears, it was the master of the Sheng family again! She also learned from these girls to stretch out their heads and look towards the carriage of the Sheng family, hoping to see the legendary Sheng Xiaoye, who flirted with the women of the good family but became a fast catcher.

Who knew that the carriage passed slowly in front of Ji Liu's eyes, the curtain of the carriage was closed, and there was no crack left in the slightly stuffy weather: "Where is this looking at the Sheng family's master, is it obvious to see the style!" "I can't even see my face, it's all smelling of sweat, so if I want to see the Sheng family's master, it's okay to squat at the entrance of the yamen.

On the street, everyone hugged the carriage of the Sheng family, and walked all the way to the place where the lanterns were concentrated, which happened to be the place where the willows played in the water in the middle of the night yesterday.

Seeing there, Ji Liu looked up at the small bamboo forest on the other side of the lake, and always felt that there was a pale face hidden in the bamboo forest, and her dark eyes were ghostly staring at everyone present, her body trembled, and a sense of coldness resurfaced in her heart.

Ji Liu didn't want to face it again, and then turned his gaze to the Sheng family, the people of the big house were getting down from the carriage one after another, led by the Sheng family big house husband and wife, the legendary Sheng family master with a black soft gold mask on his face, followed by the two, surrounded by small guards.

"One by one, they are excited like this, and the result is not wearing a mask." Ji Liu and the two stood on the side, but they walked to the front row under the push of the crowd, she was already hot, and she was pushed around by the crowd, and she inevitably complained in her heart.

Before she could finish speaking, another exclamation came from the crowd, covering her complaints. The crowd that was originally enjoying the fun was eerily silent for a while when the Sheng family's carriage stopped, but when they saw Sheng Li, who jumped out of the carriage at the end, almost all the women around them surged.
