Song Jingzhou's footsteps suddenly stopped, and Wang Shixian clearly saw from the side that Song Jingzhou's originally wise eyes were confused.

How many years have it been? Buried deep in my heart, the memory has been turned out, Song Jingzhou was only nineteen years old that year, the rule of the foreign dynasty had just ended, and the Kyushu government, which was expected by some awakened youth, had been established in Jinchang City in central China.

This is the first New Year of the Kyushu government restructuring. Despite the government's financial difficulties, some simple celebrations were held, and after the new celebration procession during the day, the traditional lantern temple fair was held in the evening, so that the people of Jinchang, who lived like a pool of stagnant water, oh no, the people who had changed their name to the townspeople, also had some fun.

At the beginning of the lanterns, along a blue brick and stone paved avenue, the shops with ancient buildings on both sides are also dressed in red according to the government order, and some lanterns are more or less hung under the cornices.

Especially in those official mansion compounds, there are several money houses renamed banks, and the layers of cornices are hung with red knots to create a spectacular momentum, and even the long string of lanterns on the green building is also filled with the charm of flying and brisk.

There are all kinds of characters in the streets. Officials at the grassroots level rode their horses and swarmed each other through the crowd, women rode rickshaws and looked around in the bustle of the bustle, and occasionally the children of powerful families drove by in cars imported from abroad, honking their horns from time to time to attract attention everywhere. There are a variety of different styles of cars crowded on the streets. Some people make boats in the river, some carry their children on flat shoulders, and swim out during the festive season, and young men and women leisurely watch the water by the railings on the side of the road.

Flexible-minded merchants and restaurants take the opportunity to engage in various activities, using exquisite lanterns and lantern riddles to solicit business, even the shouting of roadside vendors is also very hard, selling the goods on the stalls to passers-by.

Shui Xinmei, who was already very excited to watch the float parade during the day, was still full of interest at this time, no matter what lanterns he saw, he would pull the lover around him to study it well.

And the young Song Jingzhou, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, always has tenderness in his eyes, the pride between his eyebrows that can't be hidden no matter what, and the unruliness flowing in his bones has attracted the eyes of countless girls.

Between the four eyes, the sweetness of the woman, the spoiling of the man, I don't know how many boys and girls around me take the opportunity to come out to find spring.

"Jing Zhou, Jing Zhou! Look!" The green fingers pointed at him from afar, and Shui Xinmei shouted: "What a beautiful phoenix lantern! Let's go and see it!"

said, without waiting for Song Jingzhou to agree, he pulled him away from the lantern riddle that he had guessed half.

Song Jingzhou smiled bitterly, just now he begged him to guess the riddle, it seemed that someone wanted the teddy bear prize, but now he saw that victory was in sight, but he was pulled away again.

Under a tall restaurant, a tall and delicate phoenix lantern is standing proudly on the base of the blue auspicious clouds, the phoenix body as thin as the wings of the cicada emits a brilliant golden light, and on the neck of the phoenix covered with a veil, the phoenix eyes are eye-catching!

As soon as this phoenix appeared, it instantly absorbed the people around it.

Song Jingzhou was also interested, and walked quickly towards the phoenix lantern with Shui Xinmei. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and there were two women with dusty temperament in the crowd walking in front of him, with white skin and beautiful appearance, like a fairy, which looked very eye-catching, especially the slightly taller woman on the left, under the backdrop of a lake-blue Chinese-style straight skirt, more immature and more delicate.

The two women also noticed the existence of Song Jingzhou, a man with such outstanding appearance was also a landscape, plus he was accompanied by beautiful women with unparalleled colors, and he stared at them so unscrupulously to admire.

The lake blue woman smiled indifferently and said to her senior sister: "This phoenix lantern is so exquisite, let's go over and take a look." ”

Shui Xinmei noticed Song Jingzhou's abnormality, followed his eyes, and saw two beautiful women with amazing temperaments, couldn't help but be a little jealous, gently pinched Song Jingzhou's arm, and said angrily: "What's so good-looking, am I not beautiful enough?"

Ever since he met Song Jingzhou from the Asking Flower Sect at the last Demon Gate gathering, Shui Xinmei's heart was placed on him. Originally, there were many young masters in black and white, and the indescribable beautiful scenery was like a new blooming courtesan in the social world, Shui Xinmei, who fell so easily! Even though her master, that is, the current Demon Gate Saint Venerable, was strongly opposed.

Song Jingzhou smiled and said, "Xinmei, she is the most beautiful woman in the world!"

But he added in his heart, there is a better temperament! Song Jingzhou couldn't help but chase the blue figure of the lake out of the corner of his eyes.

"Count you as acquaintances!" Shui Xinmei was praised by her lover, smiled, and with pride, pulled Song Jingzhou towards the phoenix lantern.

The material of the lantern is made of unknown materials, the light is soft and not faint in the body of the phoenix, the color is bright but not greasy, every detail is exquisite, and what is more rare is that the temperament of the phoenix nirvana rebirth is vividly expressed.

The two beauties were standing in the crowd opposite, and Song Jingzhou naturally smiled charmingly when their eyes moved to him, but unfortunately the two women didn't seem to see each other, just admiring the lanterns in front of them.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a housekeeper-like person approached the phoenix lamp under the escort of a group of strong men, shyly stomach, threw a coin casually, pointed to the direction of the third floor of a very rare modern building not far away, and said to the guy: "This lamp is good, my young lady has taken a fancy to it and bought it!"

The leader's face changed, and he didn't dare to offend this young lady easily, so he swallowed his saliva and said: "Our host has spent a lot of money and asked someone to customize, just to be able to win some color today, attract some guests, and ask the nobles to raise their noble hands." ”

"Hmph!" The housekeeper snorted coldly and said: "Why can't the money of Director Zhang's family at the South Gate afford to buy this lamp? Now the government pays attention to fair trading, and violators are severely punished! Are you discriminating against us if you do business but don't sell things?"

Most of the people around who were admiring the lanterns instantly dispersed when they heard the words. The guy broke out in a cold sweat, and just when he was at a loss, the shopkeeper walked out of the restaurant quickly.

"Steward Liu! Steward Liu, it's our honor to be here!" The shopkeeper came over, secretly stuffed a few silver dollars into the butler's hand, and said, "The man is not sensible, and he still wants Haihan, why don't you go and have a drink or two in first?"

"Hmph, forget it, since we don't sell it, we can't force it. The butler swept the silver dollar in his hand and said, "I'm a little busy today, next time." ”

Song Jingzhou's eyes shot a cold light, Shui Xinmei was indifferent to all this, and after seeing the freshness, he wanted to leave.

A few more people in uniform called the shopkeeper who was about to return to the store, and said sharply: "The lantern is violated, and a fine of 300 yuan will be imposed!"

"This is not the previous dynasty, what is the violation?" Song Jingzhou next to him said in a cold voice.

"Yo-he, and nosy!" the leader smiled at the people around him.

"Tell you! Little white face! Lao Tzu said that if he violated the system, he would violate the system!"

"Why do you want to squat in the class room for the New Year?"

"This kid, the chicks around him are good!"

Several uniformed men laughed babblingly, not noticing that there was murder in the eyes of the men and women opposite.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will remove the lamp, and I will withdraw it!" the shopkeeper hurriedly came up and stuffed another ten silver dollars, and said.

"During the New Year, every household must have a lantern! If there is a violation, a fine of twenty silver dollars will be issued!"
