Su Chengcheng and Wu Ya hurried overnight and arrived at Liucheng on the second day of departure. Lou Minglan, who received the news early, was looking forward to it at the gate of the city, and finally waited for them.

"I'm tired." Su Qingcheng sent the carriage up and down, and said to Lou Minglan.

Lou Minglan smiled brightly: "The princess is polite, I have done it according to what you said in your letter, and it is widely publicized that the Royal South Palace's mansion is coming to the Lou family as a guest, and the guards of the Lou family are also stricter than before." ”

Su Qingcheng was puzzled, and looked behind Lou Minglan, Lou Minglan's brother and father were standing behind, she knew it well, no wonder Lou Minglan spoke so politely, it turned out to be someone.

Seeing this, Lou Minglan introduced: "This is my father, my mother and brother. ”

The Lou family saluted one after another, and Lou Minglan's father, Lou Ming, clasped his hands into fists in front of his chest: "Princess Yunan has worked hard all the way, Lou has prepared a meal, and the princess and her party are hungry on the way." ”

"Uncle is polite, I came to Liucheng to play as a friend of Minglan Lan, just call me Allure."

Su Chengcheng noticed Lou Minglan's mother-in-law, and was just about to open her mouth to talk to her, when Mrs. Lou knelt down and said, "The princess is my daughter's life-saving benefactor. ”

Su Tingcheng hurriedly helped her up: "Mrs. Lou, you are too polite, Minglan has also helped me a lot, my teahouse in the capital is famous thanks to the tea of the Lou family." ”

Mrs. Lou got up and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Since you have come to Liucheng, it is the same as if our Lou family is our own home." ”

"Okay."

Su Chengcheng returned to the carriage, and Wu Ya drove the carriage behind the Lou family's convoy.

This is her first time in Liucheng.

Different from the prosperity of the capital, there is a strong Jiangnan style from the inside to the outside, Liucheng is a wealthy small city, most of the people living in it are merchants, but their mansions are not as extravagant as Su Chengcheng thought.

They are small and delicate, the walls outside are covered with vines, the streets are lined with shops, the afterglow of the setting sun hangs over the attic, and the sound of shouting, wind chimes and children playing can be heard in the ears.

Su Chengcheng's body and mind were relaxed, and Wuya outside the carriage was also very strange.

"The Gate of Paradise is not far from here, haven't you been here?"

Wu Ya shook her head and said lightly: "I came out on a mission, and I have never walked on the street like this." ”

"I just heard from Minglan that tonight is the Lantern Festival in Liucheng, let's come out at night and have a look." Su Chengcheng Road.

"Okay."

After arriving at Lou's house, the crackling firecrackers resounded throughout Liucheng, and the people of Liucheng who didn't know why came out to see the excitement.

"Is there any great joy in this house?"

"I heard that a distinguished guest is here, and I came from the capital."

"Really? Their Lou family's business is indeed the largest in Liucheng, and the people they have met are all famous families, which is not unusual. ”

"Yes, I heard that it is the princess who opened a teahouse in the capital."

"The princess opens a teahouse! That's pretty impressive. ”

Su Chengcheng didn't know anything about all this, and when she walked into Lou's house, she understood what it meant to be wealthy.

The interior and exterior of the building are decorated with gold, and even the floor tiles are slightly glowing with gold.

"Do you think the gold in here can be pulled out?" Wu Ya, who was also dumbfounded, whispered to Su Qingcheng.

Su Qingcheng smiled: "You can try." ”

Lou Minglan asked her subordinates to bring the food into the room prepared for Su Qingcheng, and let them go down, she made a grimace after closing the door, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh, my father and mother are finally leaving, they heard that you are coming to force me to learn the rules for three days, I am really tired." ”

"Wu Ya and I plan to go to see tonight's Lantern Festival, are you going?" Su Chengcheng asked while eating.

Lou Minglan's eyes were full of expectation: "Go!" ”

After Su Chengcheng and Wu Ya finished eating, the sky was already dark.

They changed their clothes, Su Qingcheng put the veil on his face, and the three of them set off.

The moon is high and the stars fill the night sky, the streets of Liucheng are brightly lit, and all kinds of lanterns are hung in front of the shops. As far as the eye can see, there is a silver flower and fire tree, and people are boiling everywhere.

Su Chengcheng held a lantern in the shape of a white rabbit and shuttled through the lively crowd.

There are fire-breathing acrobats, and there are also small vendors who guess lantern riddles and get lanterns, all of which are so new to Su Chengcheng.

The three of them came to the river, and Su Chengcheng was about to put the lantern in the river, but Lou Minglan stopped him and said, "You haven't written your wish yet." ”

"Do you want to write a wish?" Su Chengcheng Road.

"Of course," Lou Minglan handed Su Tingcheng a pen dipped in ink, "The Lantern Festival is to write your wishes on the lanterns and float to the sky with the river, and then the fairies in the sky will help people see it." ”

Su Qingcheng smiled gently, she had always disbelieved in these folk legends, but she still took the pen in Lou Minglan's hand and wrote on the rabbit lantern:

Safe and smooth.

When she put the lantern into the river, she really had a trace of hope in her heart, and Su Chengcheng realized that this might be the power of faith.

When she raised her eyes, a figure under a willow tree on the other side of the river caught her eye.

Su Tingcheng's heart skipped a beat.

"What are you looking at?" Lou Minglan interrupted the godly Su Chengcheng.

She blinked again and looked under the willow tree, where there was nothing: "Nothing, wrong." ”

"Let's go, let's go guess the lantern riddle."

"Okay."

Across the river.

Ye Yutai looked at Li Jichen who was dressed up next to him with disgust, and his face was full of "I don't know him".

"Come on, let the locals follow the customs when you come," Li Ji Chen greeted Ye Yutai with great interest, "It's lifeless all day long, and I don't know how your beautiful princess likes you." ”

"That's what you said about stealing from the Gate of Bliss?" Ye Yutai had the feeling of being on a thief ship.

After Ji Chen put down the lantern, he came to Ye Yutai's side, put on his mask and said slowly: "This is the closest town to the Gate of Bliss. ”

"Are you sure you're in?" Ye Yutai Road.

Li Ji Chen snorted coldly, very confident: "What is there that can't get into, my old man has coveted the treasure of Jile Gate for a long time, and it's too ugly to say that stealing, those medicinal materials are placed there, it's better to come to my Soul Palace, I call it the best use of things." ”

Ye Yutai listened to his words absentmindedly, his eyes looked around, half of the reason why he could agree to come to Jile Gate to steal things with Ji Chen was here.

He sent out a few shadow guards who were still in the fire prison because of the loss, and as soon as he came to Liucheng, he heard that the Lou family had a distinguished guest, so he was relieved.

"She should like this......" Ye Yutai muttered as he looked at a rabbit lantern.

Li Ji Chen glanced at it and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Nothing."

Ye Yutai turned around and bought the rabbit lantern, and before Ji Chen could react, he put it in the river and floated away.

"Hey, the lantern is to write wishes."

The corners of Ye Yutai's mouth hooked a smile: "No, she doesn't need to." ”
