After Lu Dayi and Qian Baimo confirmed the meeting at Zhang Xiaoniangzi's place, in order to facilitate the follow-up contact with their classmates, Qian Baimo and Lu Dayi temporarily rented a room in the city inn; and the next day, in order to help Zhang Xiaoniang rearrange the fourth floor, Lu Dayi called a few helpers from the Shuibo Gang to go to Zhang Xiaoniang's house.

Time passes slowly, wait until the day before the Kaiyuan Festival, according to the tradition of this day will be Ao night vigil, and in order to enrich this tradition, there will be various activities in the government and various chambers of commerce that night, in addition to fireworks displays, dance teams, there are all kinds of performances until the early hours of the morning, theater, shadow puppetry, competitive activities, etc., this night is also the most lively night of the year in Lijiang City, it is a night when all the green buildings, dance buildings, restaurants, and tea houses in the city are all full.

In addition to the necessary left-behind servants of most rich families this night, most of the domestic servants will go home for the New Year Festival on vacation, so when Shufeng, Fence Fiber, Plough Changyong and a few other classmates received the invitation of Qian Baimo, they came to the designated place outside the city on time at noon on this day, and Lu Dayi lived in the city of tigers, leopards and wolves and other subordinates, so he went directly to the "Weaving Xuan Fang", took the invitation sticker to find Lu Dayi arranged in front of the archway reception staff, and then the reception staff took everyone to Zhang Xiaoniang.

Until the afternoon, Lu Dayi and the first batch of more than a dozen people invited by Qian Baimo finally arrived; and Zhang Xiaoniang was inconvenient to have adult men here, so she temporarily hired three old women who worked hard and did their duty; so when Lu Dayi, Qian Baimo and others came to the fourth floor again, it seemed to have become a small playground, all antiques, vases, All the ornaments were removed, and the large cabinet against the wall was filled with all kinds of new toys, and in order to prevent people from bumping into each other, all the carpets were removed, and tatami mats made of straw were covered to make it easier for people to play barefoot. The original round table has also been replaced with two rectangular antique low tables, which is convenient for children to play and eat.

At first, the people who were a little restrained, and when Zhang Xiaoniang took the old woman downstairs, they took off their shoes and entered, and then followed Lu Dayi and Qian Baimo to sit on both sides of the low table...... Only for a moment when Zhang Xiaoniang left the fourth floor, the entire fourth floor was like an explosion.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoniang, who was comforting her daughter in her arms, thought that in previous years, every time at this time in the outside world was a more deserted small building, but today there was a lively and cheerful sound, she felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but have tears flowing, and the daughter in her arms also seemed to feel something, while babbling and saying, "Niangniang." While wiping the tears of the little lady with her pink little hands......

When night falls, every corner of Lijiang City is illuminated by various colored lanterns; and Zhang Xiaoniang considers that they are all children, so the dinner party uses fruits and vegetables, fried and other dishes that are easy to eat and have little soup; while the old woman was busy frying and serving dishes, Zhang Xiaoniang helped the film machine to the fourth floor with the help of Pang Zi.

And the people who were originally scattered and playing around came up one after another after seeing Zhang Xiaoniang move a strange box, so Lu Dayi felt that he was a celebrity who was watching the movie machine like a star under the eyes of everyone who was surprised, excited, and envious......

With the hustle and bustle of the lanterns, as the dazzling fireworks rise from the palace in the center of the city, Lijiang City seems to be instantly ignited with the hidden enthusiasm, drums and music one after another, intertwined with the reverberant shouts in the city.

At this time, Qian Baimo, who was watching the film and painting, casually glanced back, and saw Zhang Xiaoniang was leaning in front of the window looking at the city alone, at that moment, Qian Baimo's heart felt an inexplicable tremble, in such a noisy environment, Zhang Xiaoniang seemed to be isolated in another world, looking at the figure of Zhang Xiaoniang leaning lightly in front of the window and the grievance between her eyebrows that seemed to be inseparable when she looked into the distance, so that Qian Baimo only felt an unprecedented loneliness, Helpless and the loss of the image that could not be used in words, so Qian Baimo got up and walked towards Zhang Xiaoniang.

"Little lady Zhang. ”

"Hmm. At this time, the little lady Zhang, who was caught in her own thoughts, hurriedly came back to her senses and turned her head when she heard someone next to her calling her, and saw that Qian Baimo was standing behind her with an apple, so she hurriedly saluted and said: "Hello Gongzi, I'm sorry that the slave family lost his temper just now, I don't know what happened to Gongzi?"

After waiting for Zhang Xiaoniang to finish the salute, Qian Baimo held the apple in front of Zhang Xiaoniang and smiled: "Zhang Xiaoniang has a heart." It's just that Zhang Xiaoniang is so busy for me and other classmates to get together, and it disturbs Zhang Xiaoniang who can't go out to play, and she feels very uneasy and speechless, so she has to borrow flowers and Buddha to send a fruit to Zhang Xiaoniang to relieve her fatigue. ”

"The young man is serious. Zhang Xiaoniang took the apple with a smile, then rubbed the apple with both hands and looked out the window and said with a smile: "A woman from the slave family, and there is no male protagonist, in previous years, it was just a big girl here to watch the excitement outside the window." Zhang Xiaoniang said and turned to Qian Baimo and smiled: "This year, it is rare for Young Master Lu and Qiangongzi to come here to have a small gathering with classmates, and the slave family has added these celebrations, and it should be the slave family who has thanked Qiangongzi." ”

Qian Baimo looked at Zhang Xiaoniang's smiling and polite expression, and the inexplicable emotion in his heart seemed to have turned into an invisible pressure, making him unable to even breathe smoothly, so he couldn't help but blurt out: "Zhang Xiaoniang is also a person with a small fortune now, why is she trapped here?"

"Trapped here?" Zhang Xiaoniang didn't expect Qianbaimo to suddenly ask, and couldn't help but look at Qianbaimo again, and finally when she saw Qianbaimo's eyes, she felt inexplicably trembling in her heart, as if an invisible force was knocking on the door of her heart that had been forged by being cautious for many years, and under an indescribable impulse that surged up in the depths of her heart, Zhang Xiaoniang turned her head to look out the window, and after taking a deep breath, she gently hugged the hair in front of her forehead with her hand and chuckled: " In this prosperous Lijiang City, where does it really belong to me, and in Ruoda Lijiang City, who can escape from this prosperous cage. Zhang Xiaoniang said and looked into the distance again, as if she wanted to see a glimmer of hope from the dark night.

Qian Baimo looked up at Zhang Xiaoniang's smile from afar, as if expressing an unwilling, helpless and confused emotion, which made Qian Baimo only feel that his heart seemed to be sinking, and there seemed to be something accumulating in it.

"Hey, hundred. Just when Qian Baimo was out of his mind, he only heard Lu Dayi's voice in his ears, and then when he came back to his senses, he saw Lu Dayi stretching out his head and looking out the window and asking, "What are you talking about with Little Lady Zhang?"

"Young Master Lu. Zhang Xiaoniang, who also came back to her senses, regained her mood, took a few steps back, saluted Lu Dayi, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the apples, the slave family went to see how the pastries for your sons were prepared." After Zhang Xiaoniang finished speaking, she got up and walked in the direction of the stairs.

After watching Zhang Xiaoniang leave, Qian Baimo turned around and asked Lu Dayi, "Do you know what it means to change the law?"

"What?" Lu Dayi, who was looking at the street dancers with relish, looked back at Bai Mo inexplicably;

"Alas. Seeing Lu Dayi's stupid look, Qian Baimo felt as if he was playing the piano to the cow, and could only sigh helplessly, and at this time, Lu Dayi, who also came back to his senses, smirked embarrassedly: "When I arrived at the Tiangong Club, I often heard the seniors talk about changing the law, but they all quarreled when they talked about it, so I don't know what the change is." ”

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Qian Baimo ignored Lu Dayi, looked at the starry sky and fell into deep thought.
