Houmen's concubine

Chapter 37 The Lantern Festival
Wang Tong'er moved quickly, and took care of herself in a few minutes. When she came out, she saw Xie Yuheng and Xiao Mo standing on the bluestone road outside the courtyard.

Looking up, I saw Xie Yuheng's tall and straight figure, covered with a black gold silk cloak, and inside a brocade robe woven with gold and bamboo patterns with a round neckline, which made him noble and handsome.Against the backdrop of the red lanterns under the eaves of the courtyard porch, it looks like an ink painting scroll.

pity!

If it is in modern times, this person is definitely a movie king.

What an overbearing, abstinent president.What is the posture of a celestial being in the fairy world, a master of martial arts, a young hero...
If he is allowed to act, he will definitely dominate the screen.

The director himself will definitely become a famous director, the kind who walks sideways in the entertainment industry!

"Let's go, follow me to watch the Lantern Festival." Seeing her, Xie Yuheng took the lead to walk out with long legs.

Although Wang Tonger lacked interest, in this cold winter, she only wanted to get into the warm bed early and sleep soundly.

In addition, during the day until now, her legs are standing except for walking, without resting for a moment, and she is very tired.

She really doesn't want to go shopping twice a day.

But what the master said was the imperial decree and could not be contradicted, so he could only cheer up and follow him to the gate of the Hou Mansion.

······
There are three lantern festivals a year in Dazhou, which are Spring Festival, Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

At night on this day, the number of people on the street will be several times higher than usual, and many ladies from noble families will also go out to play, which can be described as very lively.

It would be comfortable to sit in a carriage. She hasn't been in a carriage since she came here.

She also knew that it was not advisable to take a carriage when going out tonight, as there must be crowds of people on the street with no place to touch her feet.

As night fell and the lights came on, the whole capital city was immersed in a joyful atmosphere. There were people coming and going on the street, and there were many things that Wang Tonger had never seen before.

Wang Tong'er did not expect that Xie Yuheng stretched out her big, calloused big hand to grasp her cool little hand.

Xie Yuheng's pleasant voice came to explain: "Don't get lost."

"Oh." Wang Tong'er obediently agreed.

Holding the little girl's tender and smooth hand in my hand, hey!Xie Yuheng sighed contentedly.

The little girl's hands were soft, and her body also smelled of plum blossoms, not the thick and unpleasant smell of powder on those girls.

Seeing his movements, Xiao Mo and the others were quite surprised.

When did our son take the initiative to hold a woman's hand?
The concubine Shizi must never have had it while she was alive!
It can be seen that Wang Tong'er holds a lot of weight in the heart of the master.

Wang Tong'er raised her eyes and saw various masks selling at the stall in front of her, so she couldn't help but take a closer look.

"Like it?" Xie Yuheng asked softly with a pleasant pine wood scent coming from beside him.

"Uh?"

I just look at it, I can't say I like it.

Before Wang Tong'er could make a sound, Xie Yuheng signaled Xiao Mo to go forward and buy a little fox mask and handed it over.

"Thank you."

She took the little fox's mask and compared it to her own face. This mask was sold to children, and it was not as big as Xie Yuheng's palm. Wang Tong'er put it on just right, only revealing a pair of watery almond eyes, shining brightly .

Xie Yuheng held her hand tightly in the crowd and never let go. Wang Tonger followed him through the crowd, bumping into some naughty children from time to time. The two soon walked to the middle of the street, where they saw each other. What a big lantern stall, surrounded by people!

During the Spring Festival, many hawkers came from afar to set up stalls on the streets of the capital to do business. If they were lucky, just one night alone would be enough for them to earn money for several months!
The same is true for this lantern stand.

The stall owner is a round-faced middle-aged man who looks very smooth. He puts the lanterns in order, and then provides bows and arrows to the spectators. As long as they hit the target ten times in a row, they can choose a lantern.Because it costs a penny and the lanterns are very delicate, many people went up to try them.

Wang Tong'er was not even curious when she arrived, she knew that these were all deceptive tricks, how could it be possible for you to shoot them?

Otherwise, wouldn't he use credit.

She just watched boredly, and it was true that no one could hit the target.

You can see that the place where the white line is drawn is a full two feet away from the target, and the bows and arrows provided by the stall owner are very light and small. What a ghost!

Xie Yuheng saw that Wang Tonger was in high spirits, and he took a fancy to the vivid rabbit lantern in the middle, so he asked her: "My son will win you one, huh?"

Wang Tonger blinked at him, "..."

I'm not a child, what do you want that lantern for?
Besides, this lantern doesn't mean that if you win, you can win it. Don't miss the shot at that time, and lose the face of your son...
At this time, there was a young man who brought his wife to see the lantern. He lost the game. It is said that he had already spent almost half a tael of silver. His wife said no, but he still refused to leave.

From the clothes of his husband and wife, Wang Tonger could tell that the young couple had a good family background. Anyway, the stall owner was about to smile crookedly when he saw such a bully, wishing that he would continue to refuse to accept and gamble.

Xie Yuheng led her through the crowd in front of her and walked to the front, where she asked the stall owner to order a bow and three arrows.

Everyone saw that he was a noble and unparalleled young man with outstanding imposing manner, but he was different from other people at first glance. He was afraid that he was a young man in disguise, so the stall owner quickly handed over a bow and three arrows with a smile.

My heart blossomed: Haha!Here comes another rich idiot who sends money.

Xie Yuheng stretched out his hand to take it, and gently pulled down the bow, his heart was at ease immediately.

Although he was not born as a general, he has practiced martial arts since he was a child.A bow is good or bad, you can know it by weighing it.

Then it became clear that this bow was specially made like this. Ordinary people don't know how to shoot arrows, so they can't shoot, but it's strange that those who are good at archery can't shoot. This bow can't hold up strength at all. The same is true for the arrow. The arrow looks sharp, but it is actually blunt. Therefore, the man next to him obviously hit the target, and the arrow did not miss the target, but fell to the ground.

These tricks are nothing more than businessmen's tricks.

Xie Yuheng raised his bow and set his arrow, and with a whoosh, the first arrow was shot!

Missed.

The next second and third arrows also missed.

"Hush!" Everyone thought they could see a good archer, but they didn't think that this young master can't shoot arrows at all.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuheng said to the stall owner: "Give me ten more arrows."

The stall owner just saw Xie Yuheng's posture of drawing the bow, and originally blamed himself for being too happy.I am also worried that this young master is very powerful, and that I will lose my money this time to the stall owner.

At this moment, without further ado, he took out ten more arrows. It is not easy to get this reward. The ten arrows must hit the target in a row. He thinks that the son's money should fall into his pocket. up.

　Xie Yuheng had never brought a single woman to watch the Lantern Festival in his two lifetimes.

　　Wang Tong'er reluctantly accompanied him to watch the lantern festival.
