Chapter 32 Professional matchmaker

The New Year's Eve of the Cold Country is actually Chinese New Year's Eve.

However, the cold country does not have the particularity of a family reunion dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve.

In previous years, on the night of New Year's Eve, a palace banquet would be held in the palace to celebrate the arrival of the new year, and the ladies and gentlemen of these official eunuchs had to attend the palace banquet.

This year, it is rare to be able to celebrate the New Year outside the palace, and the streets of the capital are even more lively.

At three o'clock, the sky was dusk.

Zhan Xinglan wore a red dress like a dancing little sun in the snow, which made people's hearts warm.

She loves snow the most, and when she was very young, she didn't have a playmate, so she built herself two snowmen to play with.

One is mom and the other is dad.

The habit of building a snowman remained with her until she became an adult.

But now that she's here, she seems to have quit the habit.

Zhan Xinglan ran wantonly in the snow.

At this moment, no worries can hold her back.

Zhu Huan watched her run so fast, she was so worried that she couldn't do it, and chased after her vigorously.

But how could she outrun Zhan Xinglan, who had been practicing martial arts since she was a child.

It wasn't until Zhan Xinglan ran to the Epiphany Bridge that Zhu Huan caught up with her with a big gasp.

"San Niangzi, the ground is covered with solid snow and is very slippery, you run so fast, beware of falling."

Zhan Xinglan smiled a little embarrassedly:

"I've been a little self-absorbed for a while, and I'll pay attention to it later."

At this time, Ye Yunyu walked up from the other end of the bridge.

"Zhan San Niang."

Zhan Xinglan turned his head to look, and hurriedly stretched out his arm and beckoned.

As soon as they converged, Ye Yunyu bowed deeply to Zhan Xinglan.

"Sister Ye, what are you doing?"

Zhan Xinglan was a little dazed, and quickly helped Ye Yunyu up.

"My mother is getting better day by day, and her complexion is much better. I have always wanted to thank Zhan Sanniang in person, but my father was afraid that I would disturb Sanniangzi's recuperation, so he delayed until today to thank Sanniangzi. ”

The melancholy between Ye Yunyu's eyebrows was swept away, and the whole person was much more cheerful.

"Sister Ye doesn't need to be polite, in the future, she will be like a big brother, call me Lan'er."

Zhan Xinglan smiled softly at her.

Ye Yunyu also smiled and bowed slightly.

"Xinglan, Ye Niangzi, I'm late."

Qiu Chuyan patted his chest and breathed heavily, looking like he had run over.

Zhan Xinglan grabbed Ye Yunyu and Qiu Chuyan's arms left and right, and said to them:

"It's early for us to arrive, it's still early, let's go shopping first."

"Okay."

"I saw a lot of nice gadgets when I came."

"Really? Let's check it out. ”

The three of them talked and laughed, and went down the epiphany bridge hand in hand.

At the same time, Wen Renzhuo is also ready to go out for a casual stroll.

He thought that Qin Dai would stop him, but he didn't think that Qin Dai didn't say anything, and he didn't mean to follow him.

But when Wen Ren stepped out of the inn with his front feet, Qin Dai's hind feet followed him far away.

The streets of the capital are full of all kinds of gadgets, all of which are dolls, sugar paintings and so on.

After a while, Zhan Xinglan had a rabbit candy painting and a moon clay sculpture in his hands.

In her words, it's called rabbits running to the moon, and they complement each other.

They walked around for a while, and it was already completely dark.

The shops on the street are all hung with red lanterns, like a string of oversized rock sugar gourds.

Zhan Xinglan looked up at the sky, thinking that at this hour, the second brother should be done.

So she turned her head to Ye Yunyu and Qiu Chuyan and said:

"Sister Ye, Chu Yan, there seems to be a trick ahead, let's go and take a look."

She didn't wait for the two to respond, and immediately led them through the crowd, heading towards a street performance in front of her.

The stage for the trick was an arc, and Zhan Xinglan pulled the two of them to the front.

However, when they stood still, they found two people in the crowd opposite.

Ye Yunyu saw Zhan Nanjing at a glance.

She tugged at Zhan Xinglan's sleeve with some excitement.

"Lan'er, look at that person, is it your eldest brother?"

The corners of Zhan Xinglan's mouth were slightly upturned, and he pretended to poke his head out and look at the opposite side.

"Where? Where? ”

On the opposite side, there was obviously not only Zhan Nanjing but also Zhan Mobei, but Ye Yunyu seemed to only be able to see Zhan Nanjing, and automatically ignored Zhan Mobei.

"It's just across the street."

"Oh! I saw it, they probably came out to hang out, too. ”

Zhan Xinglan had a confused and unconcerned expression, but in fact, the little abacus in his heart crackled.

Ye Yunyu looked at Zhan Nanjing on the opposite side who hadn't seen him, and felt a little lost in his heart, lowering his eyelids and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at him secretly.

Half an hour ago, Zhan Mo Beisheng pulled hard, and finally pulled Zhan Nanjing out of Fuyangju's study.

Now Zhan Nanjing's mind is full of people, and he is also interested in performing tricks.

He made up his mind that he must be on the list in one fell swoop this time, so he locked himself in the study and didn't come out.

There were still a number of books on the desk in the study that had not yet been reviewed, so how could he have the leisure to read these things.

"Mobei, I'm really not interested, I'll go home first."

Zhan Nanjing said that he was about to leave.

Suddenly, the masked man on the stage said:

"That Lang Jun, please stay! I wonder if you can come up and do the villain a favor? ”

Zhan Mobei hurriedly grabbed Zhan Nanjing.

"Big brother, they let you go up."

"This, it's the same for you, I'll go back first."

The man who played the trick simply stepped down and joined the ranks of pulling Zhan Nanjing together.

The surrounding onlookers also made a commotion.

Zhan Nanjing really couldn't help it, so he reluctantly followed the man who was playing tricks on stage.

"Please enter this cabinet."

A little lady stepped forward and opened the wooden cabinet in the center of the stage, motioning for Zhan Nanjing to stand in.

Zhan Nanjing just wanted to end it quickly, and then hurried back to Fuyangju.

So he walked in without hesitation.

As soon as I walked in, the door closed.

"Everyone! Today I want to perform the long-lost great change of the people! Next, I can make this Langjun disappear, big guy, believe it or not? ”

"Don't believe it!"

The people in the audience shouted in unison.

Ye Yunyu asked worriedly, "Lan'er, your eldest brother will be fine, right?" ”

"It's all coaxing, Sister Ye doesn't have to worry."

Zhan Xinglan patted her hand.

The man who played the trick made many strange movements on the stage against the wooden cabinet, and then took out a long sword and stabbed it hard at the hole that had been opened in the wooden cabinet.

The exclamations from the audience came and went in an instant.

Ye Yunyu also screamed in fright, lifted the hem of her skirt and ran anxiously to the stage.

She pushed away the trickster and opened the wooden cabinet.

But there was only a long sword inserted horizontally in the wooden cabinet, and not even a single hair of Zhan Nanjing could be seen.

The people in the audience craned their necks and looked at the empty wooden cabinet for a second, and then thunderous applause.

Ye Yunyu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he was fine.

No, what about others?

"Where did that Lang Jun go?"

The trickster raised his hand and smiled awkwardly, indicating that he didn't know either.

As soon as Ye Yunyu wanted to continue to ask, he was pulled off the stage by Zhan Xinglan.

"Sister Ye, this kind of trick has a secret way, maybe the eldest brother is around here, why don't we go separately and find it." Chu Yan and I went north to look for it, and Sister Ye went south to look for it. ”

"yes, okay."

Ye Yunyu was worried about Zhan Nanjing, so she didn't think much about it, and squeezed out the crowd and walked towards the south while looking.

Zhan Xinglan looked at Ye Yunyu's anxious back and showed a treacherous smile.

After a while, Zhan Mobei squeezed through the crowd.

"Lan'er, I've already arranged it in advance as you said."

"It's hard second brother, bother the second brother to follow Sister Ye far away to protect her, so as not to cause extraneous branches."

"yes, I see. You have to be careful, too. ”

Zhan Mobei touched Zhan Xinglan's head and went to chase Ye Yunyu.

"Xinglan, if Sister Ye knew that you were so calculating her and Brother Zhan, would she be angry?"

Qiu Chuyan tugged on Zhan Xinglan's sleeve, quite worried in his heart.

"They have lovers who will eventually become married, and they will be grateful to me in the future. Let's go too, and the rest is up to them. ”

Zhan Xinglan took Qiu Chuyan's hand and walked in the opposite direction.

The dragon dance team performing along the street crosses the entire street.

If you look down from the sky above the capital, you will definitely see a huge golden dragon and many lion dances frolicking on this street.

Zhan Xinglan didn't expect the Chinese New Year in the cold country to be so lively.

She is getting more and more fond of this place.

The children carried a small red lantern with the word "Fu" written on it in one hand and a rock sugar gourd in the other, shuttling in groups among the dragon dance team.

Zhan Xinglan and Qiu Chuyan walked slowly on the side of the street.

Suddenly, a little girl in the dragon dance team tripped over something, and the rock sugar gourd in her hand also fell to the ground.

The little girl cried with a "wow".

The dragon dance team went so fast that several people almost stepped on the little girl.

Qiu Chuyan stood outside and happened to witness everything, she was worried that the little girl would be injured, and she rushed into the dragon dance team before she had time to tell Zhan Xinglan a word.

Zhan Xinglan didn't know what was going on, and Qiu Chuyan had disappeared.

"Chu Yan? Where have you been? Chu Yan? ”

Zhan Xinglan looked around anxiously, there were so many people here, what if Qiu Chuyan got lost.

Zhu Huan hurriedly said: "Third lady, Qiu Niangzi seems to have broken into the dragon dance team. ”

Zhan Xinglan didn't think much about it, and plunged into the dragon dance team.

She shuttled through the crowd of people in all kinds of strange costumes, trying to find Qiu Chuyan's figure.

As everyone knows, at this time, Qiu Chuyan was walking out of the dragon dance team with the injured little girl more than ten meters behind her.

Qiu Chuyan put the little girl on the open space, leaned down and patted the soil on the little girl's body.

"Little sister, it's dangerous to run inside, are you hurt?"

The little girl wiped her tears and shook her little head from side to side.

"Thank you, sister, I won't next time."

Qiu Chuyan smiled and touched her head, then took her little hand.

"Look at you so well-behaved, my sister will buy you another rock sugar gourd, okay?"

When the little girl heard that there was a rock sugar gourd, she immediately smiled.

"Good!"

She took the little girl to buy a rock sugar gourd, and told the little girl a few words.

It wasn't until she watched the little girl leave that she suddenly remembered Zhan Xinglan, who she had forgotten.

"Oops, oh no!"

Qiu Chuyan hurriedly returned to the place where she and Zhan Xinglan broke up, but there was no trace of Zhan Xinglan there.

She turned around suddenly, but accidentally bumped into Fu Rinxu, who was walking towards her.
