The figures of the two men disappeared from the corner of the second floor for a while, and the people downstairs finally recovered from the shock and continued to listen to the old gentleman.

Near the small round table inside the teahouse, Jiang Shu and Ye Chiwan sat opposite each other, pinching the teacup and pondering for a while, she asked, "Do you know who that person was just now?" ”

"I don't know," Ye Chiwan thought for a moment, "but it must be more powerful than the new champion Huang Shijun." ”

"Not just big, but much bigger." Thinking of Fang Cai's respectful attitude, Jiang Shu added.

It's just that the new champion can only be crowned a five-rank official, a relative of the emperor, a cabinet minister, a three-prince and a nine-secretary, and the one who is much more powerful than the five-rank official is yes, and it is impossible to infer his identity at all.

Jiang Shu has always been a lazy person, and she only opened her mouth to ask because she was curious, since Ye Chiwan didn't know the identity of that person, she didn't bother to bother anymore, and moved her eyes to the old gentleman in the middle of the teahouse, and listened to the storytelling intently.

The two stayed in the teahouse until the sun was waning, and then they left and went to the nearby Hunan restaurant.

Knowing that Jiang Shu couldn't eat spicy, Ye Chiwan originally planned to ask for two pots, one spicy and one clear soup. Under Jiang Shu's repeated persuasion, he finally agreed to only need one mandarin duck pot, but he asked for two more side dishes.

After eating and drinking, when I took the carriage to Cangtong Town, where the lantern festival was held, it was already dark.

In February, the spring cold is not over, and the wind at night is slightly cool, with a faint fragrance of apricot blossoms lingering in the air.

However, the cold can't stop people's enthusiasm for playing, only to see the streets and alleys full of lanterns, still BMW carved cars, people come and go, shuttling constantly.

"Fourth sister, look, is it fun?" Ye Chiwan suddenly picked up a rabbit head mask from a nearby mask stall and blocked it in front of him.

Behind the mask, a pair of clear eyes kept blinking back and forth, looking very vivid in the yellow light of the lanterns.

Jiang Shu nodded without hesitation and said with a smile: "It's so beautiful!" ”

"Really?" Ye Chiwan happily held up the rabbit head mask in his hand to the mask stall owner, "How much is one?" ”

"Five pennies." The old man, who was approaching the end of his life, stretched out five fingers that had become a little crooked from too much labor, and smiled simply.

"Okay, I want two!" Ye Chiwan put the rabbit head mask on his face, and turned his head to look at Jiang Shu, "Fourth sister, you can pick one too." ”

"I ......" Jiang Shuhuan glanced at the mask stall, reached out and took off a monkey head mask from it, and raised it towards Ye Chi, "Then I want this!" ”

Ye Chiwan nodded approvingly, took the mask and put it on for her, took out a piece of broken silver from the money bag and handed it to the stall owner, saying that he didn't need to look for it, and pulled Jiang Shu into the crowd of people coming and going.

At this moment, there was a sudden earth-shattering sound of gongs and drums from an unsightly place ahead.

"Yikes! It's the dragon dance team here! ”

Someone exclaimed.

"Let's go over and have a look!"

Someone else said.

……

The already bustling streets suddenly boiled.

Then, almost all of them rushed in that direction.

Because there were too many people rushing to see the dragon dance, and the streets were a little narrow, Jiang Shu was carried forward by the crowd for a long distance.

When she finally stopped and looked around, she found that there was no longer Ye Chiwan on the crowded street.
