Time flies.

As night fell, the streets were lit up with colorful lanterns, and the number of people began to increase.

Shen Nian sat on the top floor of the restaurant, eating delicious snacks, and saw that the women below were carrying lanterns in their hands, so he asked the green bamboo beside him curiously.

"Green bamboo, what day is it today? Why do they all have lanterns in their hands? ”

"Miss Hui, it's the Shangsi Festival."

Shen Nian suddenly realized that the Shangsi Festival and Qixi Festival are of the same nature, and it is about Valentine's Day, and recalled the memory of the Shangsi Festival, the women of Yue Kingdom will wear the most beautiful clothes and paint exquisite makeup during the Shangsi Festival, and carry the lantern, and when they meet their favorite man, they will personally give him the lantern to convey their love.

Sending a man's lantern is usually contrary to etiquette, righteousness and shame, but in the Shangsi Festival, a woman can express her love openly.

Shen Nian's mind moved, and he quietly glanced at Xiao Jing, Ye Chuan was reporting to him, with a solemn face.

Shen Nian thought, no wonder Xiao Jing took her out today, it turned out that today was Shangsi Festival, that is, Valentine's Day, were you waiting for her lanterns?

There are several vendors selling lanterns on the street, and Shen Nian also wants to buy one for him.

"Xiao Jing, I want to go down and take a walk, is that okay?" Shen Nian asked.

Xiao Jing, who was discussing things with Ye Chuan in a whisper, stopped and looked at her, his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was worried, but when he saw the little emperor looking at him with bright eyes, he thought for a while, "Let Luzhu follow you, don't run around in any situation, I will meet you immediately." ”

After speaking, he looked at Luzhu with sharp eyes, with a strong order, "You must protect her, and you can't leave even half a step." ”

Luzhu's heart jumped, and he seemed to realize what would happen today, and bowed his head respectfully, "The slave obeys." ”

Shen Nian felt that the three masters and servants seemed to have something to hide from her, and they had a bad premonition in their hearts, but they didn't know what it was, and when they got to the street, these worries were thrown to the back of their minds.

The street is very lively, young women carry lanterns, with shyness on their faces, looking for their favorite people, and men are also talking and laughing in groups, and people come and go.

Shen Nian walked through the crowd, and Lu Zhu followed closely, not daring to slack off at all, staring at the little emperor in front of him with a pair of eyes.

The street stalls were still shouting and selling their goods to passers-by.

A lantern vendor saw a woman dressed in either rich or expensive clothes stop in front of his stall and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "This young lady, come and see my lanterns!" My lantern is the most beautiful lantern in the whole street, many young ladies are sold in my place, you see, this lantern is made of good paper and wood, beautiful and durable, the most suitable for giving away! ”

Shen Nian walked over, she saw this stall just now, this stall was the most beautiful lantern among the few stalls she passed by, and when she heard the stall owner's shouting, she immediately stopped and went to see the lanterns.

Lu Zhu followed closely behind, standing beside Shen Nian, looking at the stall owner vigilantly, and paying attention to the surrounding situation.

Shen Nian looked at it and picked up one, the four corners of this lantern are engraved with a lively little white rabbit, the eyes are embellished with red, and there is a concentric knot hanging under the handle, the whole lantern exudes a soft light, very beautiful.

"That's it." Shen Nian took the lantern, "How much?" ”

"Miss has a good eye, it's not expensive, it's five taels of silver!" The stall owner smiled, as if he was happy that a big business was formed.

"Give." Shen Nian handed him the silver, which she had collected from Xiao Jing.

"Hey, good, good!" The stall owner reached out to pick it up, but he didn't know if he didn't take it properly, and the silver fell into a pile of lanterns.

Shen Nian blinked, why did the silver fall from her hand? So I leaned over and searched for it.

The stall owner, who was anxiously rummaging for silver, lowered his head, and when he noticed the woman entering, his eyes rolled, and the dagger in his sleeve slid into the palm of his hand, and stabbed at the woman violently.

Shen Nian came down from the restaurant, and the bad premonition in her heart kept beating in her heart, and sure enough, the silver light flashed in front of her, and the stall owner stabbed her with a dagger with a fierce face.

"Die!"
