The general's wife through time

Chapter 86 Lantern Festival
After scaring off Qin Mingzhi, Qin Mingrui stepped forward, holding his hands behind his back, and leading the way in high spirits. Unfortunately, the crowd was so crowded that no one noticed Qin Mingrui's high spirits. He didn't care, as long as his sister-in-law could see his heroic appearance from behind.

"Sister-in-law, look!" He saw the juggling not far away and turned his head happily.

Eh?
Sister-in-law, what riddles are you looking at?

That's not fun at all!
You don't look at him, what should you do if he gets separated?
He dropped back awkwardly, stretched out his head, crossed the shoulders of Qin Mingshu and Qin Mingqi, and said to Xue Tang in front: "Sister-in-law, go to the front. There is a government-run lamp shed in the middle of East Street. The lanterns inside are all made by skilled craftsmen this year. The latest model, much better than the one here.”

His voice was loud, and he attracted countless glances before he finished speaking.

Upon hearing this, most people immediately turned around and ran towards the center of East Street.

This lamp shed was set up by Nishang Pavilion. There were countless pictures of beauties painted on the lanterns. The beauties were all wearing the latest styles of Nishang Pavilion. Nishang Pavilion just wanted to take the opportunity to attract some business, but unexpectedly Qin Mingrui came out halfway.

The shopkeeper stood aside, his face darkened, he grinded his teeth, and said loudly: "The lantern riddles here are simple. Although the lanterns in the government are good, the riddles are very difficult to solve. You will know if you go and take a look. The Nishang Pavilion is always waiting for you. Everyone come back."

Qin Mingshu fanned the jade bone fan in his hand and casually recited a lantern riddle, "The red brocade lichen wrinkles with every step."

Qin Mingyue curled her lips and said, "The lantern riddles here all have a purpose, but the ones in the government have no purpose."

Qin Mingqi looked at Qin Mingrui and Qin Mingyue and thought to himself: In this situation, what nonsense are you telling the truth? Did you two forget to bring your brains with you when you went out?
"Sorry." Xue Tang smiled awkwardly at the shopkeeper, turned back, and took the two people away from the scene with a solemn face.

The young man behind the shopkeeper was new here a few days ago. He was very simple, but he had never seen the world much before. When he saw that most of the people were missing in an instant, he gritted his teeth in anger, "Who is this guy? He ruined other people's business. Is that all it takes to say sorry?"

The shopkeeper looked at Xue Tang's retreating back and said blankly: "She is willing to nod and smile at me. This is already a great courtesy."

and also……

What the shopkeeper didn't say was that the two demon kings in the General's Mansion were famous for being hands-on and never arguing. Today, with the general's wife following him, the two demon kings only talked and didn't demolish the shop. He was already thankful.

The little guy scratched his head. Is there another family he shouldn't mess with?
Thinking that he had already been warned once today because he almost offended the personal nun beside the crown prince's concubine, the boy shut up in anger.

It’s really hard to get around in the city, why not go back to the village and farm!
Aunt Yu lowered her head and asked Xue Tang, "Madam, what was the lantern riddle that the second young master just recited?"

Qin Mingqi: "Silk Road."

At three o'clock in the morning, the lantern festival is the busiest time. When there were the most people, Qin Mingqi's voice was quickly swallowed up by the noise.

From far away, you can see the largest government-run lamp shed in the center of East Street. The closer you get to the center of East Street, the more crowded it becomes. Although there were officials to maintain order, there was no chaos or congestion, but the movement was extremely slow. Everyone was not in a hurry, walking slowly, admiring the lights, admiring the scenery, and enjoying the peace of the moment.

Xue Tang is no longer the long-legged person she was in her previous life. She is now as tall as 1.6 meters tall, and her head can hardly be seen even if she is crowded in the crowd. Although she likes the fireworks in this world, it is a bit stressful if it is too lively. , with such a rapid flow of people, it is okay for her to be a quiet and indifferent spectator, but to put her in it is still a bit inconsistent with her vigorous and resolute temperament. She turned around and told them to meet up at the Taotie Tower later. She also asked the secret guards to follow closely to protect Qin Mingrui and the others, and then went straight to the Taotie Tower.

Seeing Qin Mingqi holding a bag of food and following her obediently without saying a word, Xue Tang couldn't help but pay more attention and said: "Because I was worried that you would misunderstand that you were being watched, I didn't make any special arrangements for you and Aunt Yu. Secret guards, if you need anything, just tell Qin Lu and he will make arrangements."

Aunt Yu's eyes moved and she said with a smile: "Okay, we can go find Qin Lu if necessary."

Qin Mingqi cursed in his heart: Misunderstanding? Didn't you monitor him? Without surveillance, how was Dongyi Xizuo discovered in the villa?

Xue Tang knew nothing about Qin Mingqi's inner thoughts. Seeing Qin Mingshu following her, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Mingshu, you also go for a walk. I'll wait for you at the Taotie Building."

Qin Mingshu pulled the curtain on his head, looked at the crowded crowd and the snow-white gown on his body, and said firmly: "I'm not going, I want to go to the private room to see the moon."

A gust of wind blew, bringing with it a huge dark cloud, which blocked the moon completely.

Qin Mingshu: "..." Qin Lu: Look, I told you to lie. The famous Mr. Mingshu has attracted too many peach blossoms. You are weak in martial arts. If you are afraid of being taken away by others, just say so. No one will laugh at you.

The Taotie Building did not have a lantern shed. Mu Xian felt that the Taotie Building did not need to use such an excuse to attract customers, so he just hung some lanterns on the shop for people to watch.

Xue Tang led a group of people and followed Mu Xian to the largest private room.

Mu Xian helped Xue Tang open the window, and he had a panoramic view of half the street. The lights that came into view warmed the whole world.

Below is the official lantern shed. The lanterns inside are dazzling in various shapes and colors. Lantern riddles are written on the lamps. If you like it, you can take it away if you guess the riddle above correctly.

"I saw the third young master and the eldest lady." Mu Xian's voice paused, and then he asked softly in surprise: "Secretary Chief Assistant? Why is he here?"

Xue Tang looked over slightly, and happened to meet Si Wei who raised his head and glanced casually.

Meeting Xue Tang's gaze, Si Wei nodded and involuntarily said with his lips: "Wait for me!"

Xue Tang: "???"

Wait for you?

for what?

It's not like she's here because she asked you on a date.

You also use lip reading. If she nods, it seems like there is something fishy with you.

Xue Tang turned around calmly, as if nothing had happened, and asked Mu Xian, "Who is in the elegant room next door?"

Mu Xian: "On the right is Agent Fang and the others. The location here is good for them to monitor the dynamics of East Street. They will be working here tonight. On the left is Qin Yuan's family. However, I just heard that Qin Yuan sent people out to find Qin It’s clear, but it hasn’t been found yet.”

Hearing this, Qin Mingqi lowered his eyes and hid the look in his eyes.

Xue Tang curled his lips and said calmly: "Give this room to Mr. Si. Let's go to the one I often use."

Qin Mingshu sat by the window and finally saw the moon...

Xue Tang and the others opened the door and went out, and happened to meet Si Wei coming upstairs.

Si Wei saw Qin Mingqi holding the baggage and couldn't help but ask, "You want to leave?"

Xue Tang: "This place is in a good location. We will give this room to Mr. Si. I heard that this year's lantern festival is more lively than in previous years. Let the old lady of the Si family come and have a look to relax."

Si Wei's eyes flashed, and he regained his composure in an instant. He nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Can you please help arrange some refreshments and dishes that the elderly like."

"Okay!" Xue Tang responded calmly, and then said to Mu Xian: "Boss Mu, please take Mingshu and the others to the private room, and I will stay to help."

"Go, take the second young master and the others to the lady's private room and serve the best refreshments." Mu Xian looked at the two men's eyes going back and forth. He always felt that there was some secret between them, and he immediately became a hundred times more vigilant. , waved and called a boy. After giving the instructions, he followed Xue Tang like a dog-skin plaster.
