Chapter 28: Lantern Festival

The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Zhao Shuqing, who was infected with wind and cold and had been bedridden for many days, recovered from his illness and was sent back to the mansion, and went to the Lantern Market with everyone in the evening.

Dressed in gorgeous clothes and makeup, the lights on the sixth street are noisy for children.

What am I doing in the cheongsam, but also in the laughter of tourists.

As written in the poem, Zhao Wangshu and the girls of the Zhao family carried lanterns, walked around the market, and admired the various lanterns hanging on both sides of the road.

From the thirteenth to the sixteenth of the first lunar month, there is no curfew in the city, not only people in the city will come out to play, but also people from neighboring villages outside the city will also enter the city, and the streets are crowded with people.

There are many people, and there are also places that the Feng Ji Army can't take care of, so Zhao Wangshu saw a woman holding a sleeping child and hurriedly drilling into the dark alley.

The woman was dressed in coarse linen, and the child was dressed in a robe embroidered with red brocade, and the subordinates of the great families who served their masters were at worst dressed in fine cloth.

One can imagine what this is all about.

Zhao Wangshu pointed at the woman and said eagerly: "Hong Chang, go and snatch that child, that woman is a kidnapper." ”

Hong Chang was born with divine powers, and she also learned some kung fu with fists and feet, so if she went to save people, she would definitely succeed.

Zhao Wangshu also wanted to talk to Zhao Jiahua and them, everyone went to save people together, and the crowd could deter the abductors, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, they were squeezed there by the crowd.

"The Discipline Army is here." Zhao Wangshu saw that Hong Chang had already taken the child, and he was afraid that the other party would have a helper, and Hong Chang would suffer a loss and bluff.

The green branch was also alert, and waved his hand over there cooperatively: "My lord, here, there are flowers shooting here, come over quickly." ”

The woman couldn't distinguish the truth for a while, she no longer entangled with Hong Chang, didn't snatch the child anymore, and ran away.

"Hong Chang, don't chase." Zhao Wangshu stopped Hong Chang, "Let's go to the teahouse in front." ”

Stay here, in case the woman finds help, her little body will not be able to resist.

When he arrived at the teahouse in front, Zhao Wangshu asked for a pot of cold tea, soaked the handkerchief, wiped the little guy's forehead, cheeks, neck and other places, and after a while, the little guy woke up.

"Ahh Not. The little guy saw that the person holding him was a stranger, and just as he was about to scream, he was covered by Zhao Wangshu.

"We rescued you from the kidnappers, you promise not to shout and scream, I'll let go, understand?" Zhao Wangshu explained the situation simply and quickly.

The little guy blinked his beautiful eyes and snorted twice.

Zhao Wangshu let go of his hand, "What's your name?" How old is it? How did you get lost with your family? ”

There are a bunch of people on the street, it is not easy to find his family, and it is quite troublesome, it is better to send him home directly, and send people to the yamen.

It is not possible to send the yamen, the current yamen is not a modern police station, and it will not answer the police 24 hours a day, and she is unwilling to take him back to the Zhao family's mansion, she must find his family.

"My name is Ah Qing, and I'm five years old this year." The little guy stretched out a fat slap.

"Full name, what's your last name?"

The little guy tilted his head and thought for a while, "Ling Qing, my surname is Ling, Ling Yunzhi's Ling." ”

After living in the mansion for a few months, Zhao Wangshu only knew about the officials above the fourth rank in the DPRK and China, and only two people knew the surname Ling.

One is the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Lingze, and the other is the Imperial Shi Lingzhu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, hoping that this little guy is a child of one of these two families, otherwise, he can only take him back to the mansion and ask Zhao Kuang for help.

"Do you know the names of the elders in the family?" Zhao Wangshu asked gently.

"The younger generation can call the elders by their names." Ling Qing said with a small face.

Zhao Wangshu pinched his fat cheeks lightly, "I didn't let you call the elders by their names, I was asking you a question, if you don't answer, it will be rude." ”

Ling Qing thought for a while and replied, "My father is Ling Mian, and my mother's surname is Wang. ”

The corners of Zhao Wangshu's mouth twitched slightly, and it was better to ask in another way, "Is your grandfather Ling Ze or Ling Zhu?" ”

"Grandfather Ling Ze."

"Very well, let's go, little one, sister will send you home." Zhao Wangshu said happily.

Ling Qing pouted, "I'm not a little guy, I'm Ah Qing." ”

"Okay, Aqing." Zhao Wangshu smiled and changed his words.

took the little guy out of the teahouse and found that it was a bit far from here to Shangshu Mansion or Yamen.

I can't hire a sedan chair and a mule cart temporarily, take a shortcut, it's not very safe at night, Zhao Wangshu was frowning, and he saw two acquaintances coming this way.

Zhao Wangshu's face was overjoyed, and he led Ling Qing to greet him, "Young Master Yao." ”

Yao Zhen saw that it was her, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhao." ”

"I have something I want to ask Yao Gongzi for help." Zhao Wangshu said directly.

"Miss Zhao, please speak." Yao Zhen smiled politely.

"I just rescued this child from the kidnapper, and after inquiring, I learned that he was from the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Rites, there were too many people, I couldn't find his family, and I wanted to ask Yao Gongzi to escort him back."

Looking at the children beside her, Chen Xiao was surprised and said, "Miss Zhao's courage is not small. ”

"The main thing is that the kidnappers are alone, and it is not dangerous to save people." Zhao Wangshu explained.

"Although this is the case, there are so many people, but only Miss Zhao is willing to make a move." Chen Xiao has a good impression of Zhao Wangshu's righteous deeds.

"I'm kind." Zhao Wangshu smiled, his eyes flowing, as bright as stars.

This boastful sentence made Yao Zhen praise and praised: "The girl is noble." ”

Chen Xiao said: "Miss Zhao was separated from her family in order to save people, so it is better for us to send the girl home by the way." ”

"Thank you, two sons." Zhao Wangshu did not refuse, this was her intention to greet them.

Ling Qing also said, "Thank you two sons." ”

"Yo, the little guy is quite polite." Chen Xiao laughed jokingly.

"I'm not a little guy, I'm Ling Qing." Ling Qing grimaced his small face and corrected his statement seriously.

Escorted by Chen Xiao and Yao Zhen's entourage, the group went to the street where Shangshufu was located.

Passing by a sugar gourd seller on the way, Zhao Wangshu gently patted Ling Qing's head, "Little guy, do you still want to eat it?" ”

Ling Qing pursed his lips and said in a muffled voice: "If you don't eat it, you won't eat it again." ”

"You were abducted, it's not the fault of the sugar gourd, this sugar gourd can still be eaten." Zhao Wangshu smiled and asked Chen Xiao and Yao Zhen again, "Do the two sons eat sugar gourds?" ”

Yao Zhen smiled and refused, "I don't like sweets, thank you." ”

"I'll buy it for you." Chen Xiao walked over, bought two sugar gourds, and handed them to Zhao Wangshu and Ling Qing.

The two thanked each other obediently, took the sugar gourd, and took a bite.

The sugar gourd is sweet and sour, sweet and sour, forming a unique taste, and both of them squint their eyes and their mouths bulge, looking very cute and cute.

And Zhao Wangshu has even more of a girl's unique delicateness.

Chen Xiao looked at her, his eyebrows moved slightly, and he rubbed his fingers forbearingly.

Zhao Wangshu didn't know that Chen Xiao wanted to pinch her face, and happily ate the sugar gourd.
