Chapter 17: Premeditated Encounters (I)

After Hong Tianshou left the Lin Mansion, Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan still lived the same life as before, eating and sleeping every day in addition to studying with the female husband.

They hardly had time to do anything else, so the days were about to come to the annual Lantern Festival in Nanling Country.

The Lantern Festival of Nanling Country is a very grand day for the people of Nanling Country, on this day, the streets and alleys of major cities in Nanling Country will hang beautiful lanterns.

These lanterns are fish-shaped, various flowers and plants, as well as large dragon lanterns, etc., which are dazzling, colorful, and varied.

And there will be fireworks on the lantern festival, fireworks of various colors will light up the night sky, it is very beautiful, the people of Nanling country, regardless of men, women and children, will go to the street on this day to see the lanterns, eat snacks, guess the lantern riddles.

And small merchants and vendors will also gather at the Lantern Festival on this day to sell some jewelry, masks and other bits and pieces of good-looking and fun things, in short, this day Nanling Country is a lively and prosperous scene.

Just the day before the Lantern Festival, after Lin Hongwan and Mo Xuelian finished learning with the female gentleman, when Mo Xuelian was about to leave, Lin Hongwan looked at Mo Xuelian, "Xuelian, tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, let's go shopping for the lanterns tomorrow night, in the past, the Lantern Festival was just me and Sister Yueling went together, and this year there is another you, wouldn't it be more lively and fun." “

"Okay, the Lantern Festival will definitely be lively, let's go together. Mo Xuelian was very happy when she heard this, and then she thought about it again, "Hongwan, wouldn't it be a little unsafe for us women to go out at night, otherwise, how about we women disguise themselves as men and go out, in order to avoid things like the last time we visited the lake, we are wearing bigger masks, so that it will be foolproof, anyway, there must be a lot of people wearing masks at the Lantern Festival, and no one will pay attention to us." “

Lin Hongwan thought it was a good idea after hearing it, it was still very fresh, she had never worn men's clothes, and she was really a little excited, so she came to the spirit, "Xuelian, then let's find Sister Yueling and go buy men's clothes together now." ”

Mo Xuelian was also a little excited after hearing this, "Okay, then let's go quickly." Immediately, the two of them hurriedly left the Lin Mansion.

When the two of them just walked out of the Lin Mansion, not far from the Lin Mansion, the two servants sent by Qiu Yu to keep an eye on Mo Xuelian saw that Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan had left the mansion, so the two servants quietly followed Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan not far behind.

"They have entered the Sun Mansion, should we go and tell the young master now. The two servants followed them until near the gate of the Sun Mansion, and when they saw Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan entering the Sun Mansion after letting the guards pass the word, one of the servants asked.

"Don't worry, wait for a while, see if they can't come out, the young master must be very important to that girl if we let us stare at that girl, we have to be cautious." The other servant thought for a moment.

The servant who asked him felt that it made sense, so they continued to stare outside the Sun Mansion.

At this time, after Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan entered the Sun Mansion, they were led by the doorman to Sun Yueling's room, and after they entered the room, Sun Yueling smiled and spoke first, "Why did you two come to me today, I thought I would see you tomorrow at the Lantern Festival." ”

"Sister Yueling, we have a good idea, you must find it fun after hearing it. At this time, Lin Hongwan said excitedly.

Sun Yueling was aroused by her curiosity, "Oh, what an idea, say it and let my sister hear it." ”

"It was Xue Lian who came up with an idea, tomorrow the Lantern Festival, the three of us women dressed as men to go out, so that we can avoid the last time we visited the lake, that is, safe and fun, we can also wear bigger masks, anyway, there are not a few people who wear masks to play tomorrow, we will not attract attention." ”

After hearing this, Sun Yueling's eyes immediately lit up and smiled, "It's fun, it's really fun, I haven't worn men's clothes yet, you can try it." So the three of them were very excited, and immediately went out of Sun's Mansion to buy men's clothes.

After the three of them left the mansion, the two servants who were hiding not far from the Sun Mansion and staring felt that it was a wise decision not to tell the young master immediately, so the two servants continued to follow the three girls not far away.

They saw three girls walking in the street, laughing and laughing, and then they entered a garment shop, and the two servants were relieved to see that there were still quite a lot of people in the store, so they followed up and pretended to look at the clothes.

Mo Xuelian and the three of them looked at the clothes for half an hour, took one on the left and looked at the one on the right, and didn't seem to see anything satisfied, at this moment, Mo Xuelian saw a men's dress, her eyes lit up, and then, the two servants heard Mo Xuelian pointing to a men's dress.

"Sister Hongwan and Sister Yueling, you two come and see how this men's dress is, isn't it good for us to wear it out for the Lantern Festival tomorrow. “

After hearing this, Sun Yueling and Lin Hongwan looked towards the men's clothing, this men's clothing style is very ordinary, the color is white, and the only advantage is that the person wearing it does not look too thin, so it is quite suitable for the three slender girls.

The three men were so pleased with the men's garment that they bought one of them, paid for it, and left the store, while the two servants followed them when they saw them gone.

They saw that the three girls had come to a shop selling shoes, and there were not many people in this shop, so they did not dare to follow in, but watched from a short distance.

At this time, after Mo Xuelian and the three of them entered the shoe store, they also looked at many pairs of shoes, and finally Lin Hongwan pointed to a pair of men's shoes that looked ordinary, "You can put things in these shoes, and you can't see it on your feet." ”

Mo Xuelian and Sun Yueling looked at the shoes carefully and expressed their satisfaction, so the three of them bought a pair of men's shoes and left the shoe store.

After leaving the shoe store, they laughed and came to a stall selling masks, because tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, there are many masks sold on the street, and there are even more types, there are masks of various animals, and there are countless masks of characters in the story.

Mo Xuelian picked a tiger head mask from these masks, and felt very powerful after wearing it, so she bought this tiger head mask with satisfaction, Lin Hongwan fell in love with a wolf head mask, and Sun Yueling fell in love with a lion mask, and all of them were seen by the two servants who followed.

After buying the masks, the three of them continued to walk around for a while, and at this time, Sun Yueling felt a little tired, so she stopped and looked at Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan.

"I'm a little tired now and won't continue to shop, I'll be waiting for you outside the Lin Mansion after dinner tomorrow, and I won't enter the Lin Mansion,"

Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan also felt a little tired after hearing this, so the three of them separated, and then they all walked in the direction of their residences.

"They have already separated, seeing that they are going back to the house, you continue to follow the two girls, and I will go back to the house and tell the young master," at this time, one of the two servants who followed said, and the other servant nodded after hearing this, and then the two went their separate ways.

In Qiu's mansion, Qiu Yu was reading at the table at this time, and saw Xiangzi leading the servant guarding the Lin Mansion in, he looked at the servant, "Miss Mo is out of the mansion?"

"Yes, young master, Miss Mo went to the Sun Mansion with the young lady of the Lin family, and then they went to the ready-to-wear store on the street with the young lady of the Sun Mansion, and the three of them bought a men's dress each, and then went to the shoe store to buy a pair of men's shoes, and then another person bought a mask and said that it was going to be worn during the Lantern Festival tomorrow. The servant bowed his head and said respectfully.

After Qiu Yu heard the servant's reply, he became interested in their actions, "Oh, buy men's clothes and shoes, and masks, so are they going back to the house now?"

"Yes, young master, look at the direction they are heading to return home. The servant replied respectfully.

After hearing this, Qiu Yu thought about it and smiled playfully, and then the corners of his mouth curled, "Interesting, really interesting." ”

"You go and buy me the men's clothes they bought at the ready-to-wear store, and you also have to buy me the mask of Miss Lin. He said to the servant as if he had suddenly thought of some big plan.

After hearing this, the servant immediately nodded in agreement, Qiu Yu waved his hand with satisfaction, and then the servant withdrew and left Qiu's mansion to buy something.

Qiu Yu looked at Xiangzi after seeing the servants leave, "Xiangzi, tomorrow you go and gather the family members in the lower room, tomorrow during the Lantern Festival, you take them out of the house together, follow me not far behind, don't be too noticeable, wait for my signal, as soon as I send a signal, you will let the family disperse the three girls wearing masks and men's clothes, so that they can get as far away as possible and find no one for each other." “

"Okay, young master, I know, don't worry, it will be done. Shoko finished and exited the room.

After Xiangzi withdrew, Qiu Yu had a joke in his eyes, "Miss Mo, this time we are finally going to meet, I hope you won't be too surprised." After saying that, he laughed out loud with a strange smile on his face that seemed to have succeeded in his plan.

Half an hour later, Qiu Yu simply packed up and left Qiu's mansion, and he came to the teahouse that had already made an appointment with Han Bo and Chen Hongsheng.

As soon as he entered the teahouse, as soon as he went upstairs, he saw Han Bo and Chen Hongsheng waiting there, Han Bo waved when he saw Qiu Yu coming, "Come on, sit here." Qiu Yu nodded when he saw it, smiled and walked to Han Bo's side and sat in the seat next to him, and then the three of them greeted each other.

"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, do you have any arrangements?

At this time, Chen Hongsheng said.

"What can you do without looking at the lanterns, I hope this year's Lantern Festival will be more interesting than in previous years. Han Bo said as he ate.

Qiu Yu had a deep smile in his eyes after hearing this, "This year's Lantern Festival must be more interesting than in previous years." ”

After hearing this, the two asked curiously, "Why?"

"By my feelings. Qiu Yu was a little mysterious, with a smile in his eyes, and after hearing this, both of them looked at him and stopped talking, and then, the three of them drank tea while watching the play to pass the boring time.

On the other side, after Mo Xuelian and Lin Hongwan returned to the mansion, the two quietly tried on the men's clothes and men's shoes they bought back in the warehouse, and both of them were a little loose after putting on their clothes.

So, the two decided to wear a few more layers of clothes tomorrow, and it was best to be able to hold up the clothes just now.

Then, they tried on the shoes again, put everything that could fit in the shoes in the warehouse, put them on and walked a few steps, and then kept changing things and adjusting until they were comfortable to wear.

After they all changed, at this time, they both looked much taller than their original heights, and they were almost the same as men, and the two of them looked at each other and felt more satisfied.

So, the two took off their clothes and shoes again, and then quietly returned to their rooms, and after both of them had dinner, they excitedly waited for the arrival of tomorrow's Lantern Festival.

After Sun Yueling returned to the bottom, she was the same as the two of them, trying on clothes and shoes, and after she got everything ready, she was also excited to wait for the arrival of tomorrow's Lantern Festival.
