"Qing'er, today is the eighth day of the lunar month?"

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, today is the eighth day of the lunar month."

"Is there a lantern festival in the capital tonight?"

"Back to Your Highness, there is."

The eldest princess thought about it for a while, and then said, "Why don't we go out for the Lantern Festival tonight?" ”

When the maidservant Qing'er heard this, she was a little surprised.

You know, the eldest princess in the past definitely didn't go to visit any lanterns, why did she suddenly go this year?

The eldest princess knew what Qing'er was thinking, so she explained: "If you want to really understand the people, you must feel the life of the people. ”

Qing'er nodded as if she didn't understand.

Subsequently, the eldest princess focused her attention on the "Legend of the West Chamber" in her hand.

Since the last time she watched the last episode, she also appreciated this script.

So after reading it, I asked Qing'er to borrow the next episode and come back.

Looking at it, I temporarily forgot about the troubles in the court today.

After Zheng Jun and them came back, Xue Mu reminded them: "This Beiquhe corpse case, let's find out here today, there is a lantern festival tonight, everyone will go home this morning and take their families to go shopping." ”

"Yes! Xue Baihu! ”

"Great, I didn't expect Xue Baihu to be able to give us a value in advance."

Xue Mu naturally didn't dare to take this credit, he explained: "This is what Nangong Qianhu said, you have to thank and thank our Qianhu." ”

Chen Baiming said with a smile: "Now that the thousand households are not here, the brothers can only feel that Xue Baihu is gone, you must know that the previous hundred households are not to mention the value in advance, even the normal time is difficult to do." ”

"Yes! It's better to be our Xue Baihu. ”

Xue Mu didn't expect that he was just doing an ordinary thing.

But they think that this is the standard of good people.

It seems that the oppression of labor force is a frequent occurrence everywhere.

Xue Mu immediately walked in the direction of home.

On the way, he could already clearly hear more and more people on the street.

"Eat early tonight, and then take the two of them around the lanterns."

Xue Mu also quickened his pace.

Just got home.

He heard Leng Mei and Xu Ruyan chatting.

Xu Ruyan saw that Xue Mu was back, and her face was also full of joy.

More of a blushing though.

Because, last night they spent that unforgettable hour.

If you say, the night before was carried out by Xue Mu with a confused mentality.

Then last night, it was definitely the pinnacle of the battle.

Xu Ruyan even got up this morning, her legs were a little weak.

Now that he saw that his own Lang Jun was back, his face couldn't help but show a flushed color.

"Childe, you're back!"

Xu Ruyan stepped forward.

Xue Mu responded: "Well, you guys. How are you doing today? ”

He asked quietly.

The purpose is to worry about Leng Mei hearing it.

Xu Ruyan nodded, blushed and said, "When I got up this morning, I was a little weak, but in the afternoon, it was much better." ”

"It seems that it can't be too intense in the future, I'm afraid your little body won't be able to withstand it." Xue Mu teased.

When Xu Ruyan heard this, she grabbed his clothes with her little hand and said, "It's okay, son, I can hold on, I can't wronged you because I took care of me."

"Fool, how could I be wronged." Xue Mu replied with a smile.

At this time, a cold voice came from the front hall: "Ahem! If I whisper again, I'll avoid it. ”

Xu Ruyan was embarrassed to become shy, and she hurriedly said, "I'll cook." ”

At this time, Xue Mu also walked into the front hall.

He tentatively said, "Sister Leng, are you okay today?" ”

Leng Mei snorted deliberately: "Now you know that you care about me?" ”

"Xue Mu has always cared about Sister Leng." Xue Mu replied.

Leng Mei rubbed her lips, and then complained: "Whether you are talking today, or drinking water and eating, you can't open your mouth, you say it's your fault." ”

Xue Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sister Leng, you can't blame me for this." ”

Two heads and one big, and that's not his reason either.

It's innate.

Leng Mei pretended to be angry and said: "I don't care~ Go shopping for lanterns tonight, if you don't buy me some delicious food, I can't spare you." ”

"Sister Leng, didn't you say you couldn't open your mouth? Can you still eat? Xue Mu said curiously.

"You have to take care of it! ~I'll eat! Eat you! ~" Leng Mei just wanted to stick out her tongue and be coquettish, but she found that her tongue didn't even have the strength.

Xue Mu said with a smile: "Okay, good, eat as much as you want, take care of enough." ”

Leng Mei knew that he was teasing herself, so she reminded in a whisper: "By the way, aren't you afraid that if Ruyan knows that I entered your room last night?" ”

"Don't be afraid." Xue Mu said calmly: "I guess Ruyan will know." ”

"Then you're so confident that she'll be able to accept it?"

"Because she knows that I will take care of her, just like Sister Leng, and believes that I will take care of you."

Xue Mu's answer also made Leng Mei very satisfied.

She nodded, poked his chest and said, "Okay, I'll help Ruyan cook, you wait to eat the food I cooked with her." ”

"Okay, there's Sister Lao Leng."

Leng Mei walked into the kitchen and saw that Xu Ruyan was busy, so she said, "Sister Ruyan, I'll come, you go and chat with Xiao Mu and rest." ”

"No, no." Xu Ruyan hurriedly said: "Sister Leng, thanks to your care before, now that Ruyan has learned to cook, you can let Ruyan cook more." ”

"You are so kind, empathetic, and knowledgeable, it seems that my brother has picked up the treasure." Leng Mei teased.

Xu Ruyan shook her head: "Sister Leng, you can't say that, in fact, Gongzi is smart and capable, much better than me, I can. It is also my own blessing to be favored by him. ”

She raised her head at this time and said to Leng Mei: "Sister Leng, if you don't dislike Ru Yan, Ru Yan is willing to be called sisters with Sister Leng in the future."

"Good sister, haven't we always been like this?" Leng Mei comforted.

At this time, Xue Mu came to the kitchen door and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

"No, you don't."

Both women spoke in unison.

After saying that, everyone laughed too.

Life is also a happy life.

Soon, all three of them were also eating together.

During this period, Xue Mu inquired about the Lantern Festival.

"By the way, what exactly is the Lantern Festival?"

"Every year on the eighth day of the lunar month, the main street of the capital will hold a lantern festival, there are people who sell food, some sell lanterns, some guess riddles, and some talented people in the capital will gather together that night to chant poems against it."

Xu Ruyan's explanation also made Xue Mu suddenly realize.

Xue Mu was also curious about this Lantern Festival, but it hadn't yet arrived, so he couldn't see it clearly.

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat it."

"Then let's go shopping for lanterns."

In this way, Xue Mu and the others went out.

Walking on the road, Xu Ruyan and Leng Mei stood on both sides of Xue Mu.

Along the way, I also envy others.

You must know that Xu Ruyan has the temperament of everyone's beautiful daughter.

The appearance of the cherry mouth is very cute.

Leng Mei has a moving and charming appearance.

Every move makes others can't help but look at it twice.

"What a blessing this blind man is!"

"Yes, there are two women next to me, both of them are so beautiful!"

"Fuck it, why!"

They were all envious, jealous, and hateful.

There was even a rough man who wanted to ask Xu Ruyan secretly: "Girl, what's so good about following a blind man?" My family sells rice, or if you follow me, I will give you twenty taels of silver a month. ”

When Xu Ruyan heard this, she hurriedly took two steps back and hid behind Xue Mu.

Xue Mu listened to his words, and was just about to take out the waist card of the Divine Catcher Division in his hand, planning to take him back for a good interrogation.

As a result, the rough man was beaten violently.

"Your uncle! Lord Xue's woman, you dare to move?! ”

"Brothers, what should we do if he bullies our military advisor?"

"Shoot him!"

After a while, the rough man was caught in the alley by several thugs and beaten up.

Xue Mu heard the voice, and said with a smile: "Hall Master Chen, why are you here?" ”

"Today's Lantern Festival, I also brought my brothers to visit, but I didn't expect to meet Lord Xue, my lord, don't worry, that mess, I have already taught people a lesson, so I won't dirty your hands." Chen Tai smiled.

Xue Mu said calmly: "Just teach a lesson, just don't kill people." ”

"Of course, we have always valued harmony, just to teach a lesson." Chen Tai turned around and whispered to one of the brothers: "Lord Xue said, kill you, but don't kill you." ”

Xue Mu didn't say much, so he continued to walk forward with Xu Ruyan and Leng Mei.

When Chen Tai saw it, he hurriedly followed: "My lord, why don't we go together?" I can also keep the adults safe haha. ”

"Hall Master Chen, do you have something you want to tell me?" Xue Mu knew that this guy had nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace.

"Haha, Lord Xue, you're really smart." Chen Tai asked in a low voice, "I just want to ask if there are any other opportunities for adults to make more money." ”

"Yes." Xue Mu replied, "But you need the cooperation of those brothers of yours. ”

"How to cooperate?" Chen Tai said curiously.

Xue Mu explained: "At present, North Street is indeed full of goods and goods, but in terms of the number of people, it is not as good as those on East Street, and the main reason is the lack of flower work. ”

"Flower work?"

"Well, the more gimmicks you have to make the brethren tinker with, such as smashing boulders in the chest and spitting flames in the mouth, the more gimmicky they are, the more attractive they are."

Xue Mu's words also made Chen Tai seem to understand.

But he still thanked: "I understand, thank you for your advice." ”

"By the way, I want to ask you something, there are three corpses in Beiquhe on North Street, do you know?" Xue Mu asked.

When Chen Tai heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he quickly shook his head: "I don't know!" Adults, small ones don't know. ”

"Help to ask the people near the Beiqu River and check."

"Your Excellency, what are you?"

"He is now the 100 households of the Divine Capture Division, and he is in charge of the case of the Beiqu River." Leng Mei added at this time.

Chen Tai's eyes immediately widened, and he said happily: "It turns out that the adult has been promoted!" Congratulations! ”

"Don't be in a hurry to congratulate, if the first case in office is not solved, it will be troublesome, so it is also troublesome for Hall Master Chen to have time to ask the people on North Street." Xue Mu reminded.

Chen Tai hurriedly said: "Don't worry, adults, the small ones will definitely do it." ”

He rolled his eyes: "Since the adults are going to visit the lanterns, the small ones will not bother for the first time." ”

"Hmm."

Not long after, Chen Tai left with a group of younger brothers.

After leaving, Xu Ruyan asked Xue Mu: "This Chen Hall Master"

"Don't worry, he now treats me as a cash bank and respects me very much." Xue Mu said with a smile.

He asked Leng Mei and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to buy something to eat?" I saw what I wanted to eat, and I bought them all today. ”

"You said it! ~" Leng Mei glanced at Xu Ruyan, and hurriedly pulled her and said, "Ruyan, let's go to the front to buy food, Xiao Mu, you are waiting for us here." ”

"Huh?" As soon as Xu Ruyan wanted to say something, she was pulled away by Leng Mei.

Xue Mu didn't care, he stood in place, listening with his ears and feeling the charm of the Lantern Festival.

At this time, Xiao Qingyue is accompanied by Fluttershy and Lyric, enjoying the scenery of the Lantern Festival.

Fluttershy pointed to the flower work on the other side and said happily, "Miss, look there~"

"Miss, slow down!" The housekeeper Laifu had been chasing after the two women, obviously out of breath.

Xiao Qingyue smiled and said, "Laifu, why don't you go back, I'll just hang out with Fluttershy." ”

"No, the master has explained, I have to follow you, I'm afraid that something will happen to you." Laifu said with all his heart.

Xiao Qingyue glanced at Fluttershy beside her.

As soon as the two masters and servants looked at each other, they immediately understood.

They hurried and weaved through the crowd.

Seeing this, Laifu behind him kept shouting, "Miss, slow down." ”

At this time, Xiao Qingyue passed by Xue Mu's location.

She turns sideways and pulls Fluttershy on.

And Xue Mu heard the sound of the money bag falling.

So he reminded: "Girl, your money has dropped." ”

Fluttershy is the first to react.

She looked back and hurriedly said, "Oh, miss, your money bag has dropped." ”

Xiao Qingyue came back to her senses at this time.

She took the money bag that Fluttershy had picked up, looked at Xue Mu beside her, and said, "Thank you, Childe." ”

"You're welcome." Xue Mu said calmly.

Xiao Qingyue saw that he didn't seem to be able to see, and was a little curious about how he knew that his money bag had fallen.

Is it because you hear the sound that has fallen?

That's pretty awesome.

Just as he was thinking about it, a voice came from the vendor next to him: "Here, here!" Guess the crickets!! ”

When Fluttershy sees this, she excitedly says, "Miss, let's go see that?" ”

"Okay."

Xiao Qingyue is pulled across from Fluttershy, but she still glances back at Xue Mu, who is standing on the side.

Looking at this situation, it seems to be waiting for someone.

But Xiao Qingyue didn't think much about it, and was attracted by this thing of guessing crickets.

"I have crickets in this box, but how many are there, I won't tell you, you can only judge by their cries, come and come, buy and leave! One, two, three! ”

With the explanation of the rules of the vendors, many people began to bet on the number of crickets in their minds.

Laifu on the side said confidently: "Miss, there must be four, this voice is so loud, there must be four." ”

"Miss, I think there are three."

For a while, Xiao Qingyue was also a little entangled.

She didn't know which one to bet on.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Don't think about it, one." ”

Xiao Qingyue looked back and found that the person who spoke was still the son who couldn't see with his eyes.

She was a little curious: "Childe, how do you know that there is only one?" ”

"I heard it." Xue Mu said with a smile.

Laifu frowned: "It's so loud, it's obvious that there is more than one, miss, don't listen to him." ”

Xiao Qingyue explained: "Childe, if you hadn't reminded me of this money bag just now, I wouldn't have lost it and regained it, then I'll listen to Childe." ”

With that, she handed Fluttershy a small silver ingot and said, "Bet one." ”

Laifu on the side hurriedly said: "Don't, miss, don't listen to that blind man, how can it be one!" ”

Xiao Qingyue said speechlessly: "Come to Fu, don't be rude!" ”

At this time, the vendor opened the box.

"That's it! There is only one!! Congratulations to this girl for winning the bet, and no one else won. ”

Everyone else shouted, "What?!" ”

"Only one?!"

Fluttershy looks at it and excitedly says, "Miss, we've won the bet!" ”

Laifu also widened his eyes, never expected that there was only one cricket in this box: "It's so loud, why is there only one?"

Xiao Qingyue was also happy, she just picked up the silver taels she earned, and wanted to turn around and talk to Xue Mu.

only to find that the boy was no longer in place.
