Chapter 9 Shangyuan Festival
"Miss, there are a lot of people around there, let's go and have a look too?" Qixiao put her feet on her feet and looked at the place surrounded by people not far away.

"it is good."

After receiving Shen Tu's consent, Qixiao happily ran over there.

"Miss, it's lantern riddles." Qixiao took her hand and squeezed in.

In front of the lamp, there is a person who is guessing the riddle, but he is arguing with the person who solved the riddle.

The man said, "There is fire wrapped in paper, how is this possible? There is no paper that can hold fire."

The old man selling lanterns stroked his long white beard and said with a smile, "Of course there are."

"Miss," Qixiao whispered in her ear, "There is fire wrapped in the paper, what exactly are you talking about?"

There was a fire wrapped in the paper, Shen Tu thought for a while and said, "Lantern."

"Hey, this girl guessed right, it's a lantern."

"Miss, you guessed right, you are really good." Qixiao clapped her hands and said excitedly.

"Water is clear, fire is bright, guess a word." Qixiao turned to look at her again, "Miss, what is this word?"

The shopkeeper also looked at her, "If this young lady guesses correctly, you can choose one of these high-quality lanterns."

"Water is clear, fire is bright," Shen Tu looked up at the store, and said, "I don't know, but it's a sign."

"The girl is so smart, she is exactly the word Deng."

……

Holding a tiger-shaped lantern, Qixiao and Shen Tu squeezed out from the crowd guessing lantern riddles.

"Miss, you are amazing."

This was already the third time Qixiao praised her tonight, and if she praised her a few more words, she would think that she was really talented.

"Girl, please stay." A voice suddenly came from behind.

Soon, the owner of that voice came before her.

Shen Tu stopped and looked at the person blocking her way.

"Girl, please stay." The man repeated.

"May I ask what's the matter?" Qixiao took a step forward and stood in front of Shen Tu.

The man took a small step back, "Miss, don't get me wrong, I'm stupid, I want to ask the girl why the answer to the riddle is Dengzi."

She seems to remember, isn't this person the one who argued with the shopkeeper just now?

It didn't matter, she was in a pretty good mood right now, so it would be fine to explain it to him.

"When it meets water, it becomes clear, it becomes clear; when it encounters fire, it becomes bright, it becomes a lamp. If water and fire are removed, it is just Deng Zi."

After Shen Tu finished speaking, she wanted to avoid him, but he blocked her way again.

"After the girl's clarification, I am enlightened."

Qi Ye didn't want to talk to him, and wanted to bypass him again and continue walking, but before he took a step, he heard him say again, "My surname is Pei, and the single name is Yi, I don't know Miss Fang's name?"

"Why are you still entangled?" Qixiao was a little displeased, and her brows were also furrowed.

"Girl, don't get me wrong, I just want to make friends with her."

"Shen...Qi Ye," she also became a little impatient, "I also said my name, let me go now!"

The man finally got out of the way, but he walked unhurriedly behind her, with a distance of four or five meters.

……

"Brother, there are lantern riddle guessers over there, let's go and have a look." Xiao Shiyi pulled Xiao Shilian's sleeve and squeezed into the crowd.

After finally pushing forward, I heard the shopkeeper say "wrong" several times.

"Just now, a girl guessed the two most difficult lantern riddles here. If someone guesses the other two correctly, let him choose one of the best lanterns."

Xiao Shiyi didn't like to read on weekdays, and he couldn't even guess the simplest lantern riddle, so he had to ask Xiao Shilian for help.

"Big brother" he pulled Xiao Shilian's sleeve and swayed it from side to side, as if coquettish to him, "I just like that one, you won it for me."

Qin Sa who was following at the side watched, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, the second son of the Xiao family actually had such a side.

-

Qixiao carried the lantern and walked on her left, she couldn't help frowning, "Miss, that man is still following us."

"No problem," Shen Tu shook his hand and said nonchalantly, "The street is so lively today, could it be possible that he can still take me away? Besides, this road is not ours. People can leave as they want, so we can Nevermind."

In the middle of the night, she walked through the winding alleys alone. Today, the city is brightly lit. Could it be that he still wants to take her away?
After walking for a while, the man finally stopped following them, Qixiao looked back and looked, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss, look." Qixiao suddenly grabbed her and pointed to a pair of people not far in front for her to see.

"When people come and go, they just hug each other, I'm not ashamed." Qiqiao said and blushed.

Shen Tu looked over, there was a pair of well-dressed people, probably some other family's young master and young lady were meeting on this Lantern Festival.

She thought of Xiao Shilian.

Can't help but feel sad, the man she likes is going to surrender now, she can't tell him the absurd truth.

Although life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, she is too unsatisfactory!

Hey--

"Qixiao." She called to the little maid beside her.

"What's the matter, miss?" Qixiao asked hastily when she heard her sigh.

"Nothing." Shen Tu threw the purse at his waist to Qiqiao, "Go buy two jugs of wine."

"Wine?" Qiqiao was a little puzzled, didn't her lady not drink alcohol?
"Miss, you...why do you want to drink all of a sudden?"

Just buying a drink, why does this little girl have so many questions, Shen Cu waved at her impatiently, and urged, "I'll wait for you here, go and come back quickly."

Although full of doubts, Qiqiao went anyway.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Qiqiao came back with two jugs of wine.

Shen Tu stared at the two jugs of wine in her hand, frowning slightly, "Why is this jug so small?"

"That's the only thing that's left. The shopkeeper said that today's business is good, and they're all sold out." Qiqiao replied.

Forget it, keep it small, let's drink as much as we can!

……

"Miss, what are we going to climb on other people's roofs?"

"Drinking wine and watching the moon."

"But miss, I'm afraid of heights."

Qixiao felt that her hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

"Qixiao," Shen Tu looked at her with a smile, "relax, don't hold it so tightly."

Qixiao turned her head and looked at her pale hands that were pinching on the tiles, took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice, "Miss, let's go down!"

"Don't worry, if you can't fall down, even if you accidentally slip down, I will hold you immediately."

Although Qixiao was still afraid in her heart, she was also a member of the Minister's Mansion after all, so trembling like this made people see the joke, so she let go of her courage and went all out, and slowly let go of her tight grip on the tile. hand.

Xu is that the scenery is so beautiful tonight, and the fear is gradually forgotten. Qixiao hugged the small wine pot, and couldn't help but excitedly said, "Miss, look, the lanterns all over the street are really beautiful."
