Go Home

Since it is called Yuelao Town, this city is naturally full of red knots, even the inn is no exception. In the upper room of the sky, there are mandarin ducks on the table, the incense burner is carved with lotus flowers, and a large bed is hung with an elegant veil. It is neatly tied on both sides with red rope and gold hooks, just like the dragon and phoenix red candles. , And put a "囍" on the bedside.

Xiao Lan pushed open the window, and it happened to be the Yue Lao Temple outside. The green smoke curled up with tourists, and it was indeed very incense.

Lu Chai walked away with a dry mouth, and poured a cup of tea that Xiaoer had just sent, but it was neither Maojian nor Longjing, but sweet and sour plum tea.

"If you like someone, you should feel the same if you want to taste it." Xiao Lan held the cup and sipped it. "It's sour and sweet."

Lu Zhui calmly said, "Brother Xiao seems to be very experienced?"

"Why, want to know?" Xiao Lan approached him with a smile in his eyes.

Lu Chai clung to the chair and moved away.

Don't want to.

...

Although this town is small, there are many restaurants. Later, the two of them walked over from the main street together, cooking and fried brine everywhere, Lu Chai looked around, and asked: "Could it be that we have caught up with some big day?" Otherwise, it would be too lively. A bit.

"It's the Lantern Festival." Xiao Lan bought a candy cake from a small stall and handed it to him, "Just ahead."

"It's not the fifteenth of the first lunar month, why is there a lantern festival?" Lu Zhui wondered.

"There are two reasons." Xiao Lan said, "The first one. It is said that at this time every year, Yue Lao would go back to this town to have a look. Everyone set up lanterns and set up a market to welcome him."

"Fangcai Inn Xiaoer told you?" Lu asked, "Is there another reason?"

"There is another reason, I guessed it myself. The local officials want to make political achievements, just by taking advantage of the name of this old town, they will hold some lantern festival girls' gatherings every few times to attract merchants and passers-by to visit here." Xiao Lan said, "Although most Jiangnan towns are not poor, there are not many rich and prosperous like Yuelao Town. In the end, the name of Yuelao Town is indispensable."

"This is a good thing." Lu Chai thought for a while, "There are more local officials like this, and it saves everyone that they would just reach out and ask the court for money."

"Here." Xiao Lan said.

"What's here?" Lu asked.

"A place to eat." Xiao Lan said, "Fuding Tower, the best restaurant in the city."

"This is so loud, there will be a place." Lu Zhui stopped and shook his head, "Just find a stall to eat bowl of noodles."

"Follow me all day, and eat noodles to make a living at night. Others thought I was torturing you." Xiao Lan dragged him into the restaurant. "Will you be willing to pay, are you afraid that there is no place to sit?"

Lu Zhui originally wanted to say that this is a house full of people, even if there is a place, it would be panic. It would be better to eat a bowl of noodles quietly in the alley, but seeing that Xiao Lan seemed to be very interested, he didn't say much. Sitting with him by the window.

"Noisy has the advantage of noisy, full of smoke and fire, and good food." Xiao Lan said.

Lu Zhui was stunned: "Did I just speak?"

"You didn't say, but I know what you are thinking." Xiao Lan poured half a cup of tea for him. "First, moisten your throat. This is the best Longjing in the store. If you don't like it, I will let them replace it with Rock sugar baby chrysanthemum."

This will work. Lu Chai took a deep breath: "I said Brother Xiao."

Xiao Lan answered, "I know, I am a good person."

Lu Zhui: "..."

Lu Zhui said, "Yeah."

Xiao Lan smiled: "But I am not so good to everyone."

Lu Gongzi calmly drank tea, that's not important, just treat me well.

The squirrel mandarin fish is fresh and sweet, the crock-pot roasted meat is salty and fresh, and a few seasonal side dishes are fried crisply and deliciously, even the snacks melt in your mouth. Lu Zhui was satisfied with a meal, and he really understood what Xiao Lan had just said. Only when it was noisy, there would be smoke and fire. Instead of thinking about quiet all the time, it lost a lot of fun.

As night fell, the red lanterns at the entrance of the shop were also lit up, and when I walked out of the restaurant to look into the distance, the whole street was warm, and the halo made the figures of visitors illusory and overlapping, as if they were going further in. Take a step and you will fall into another beautiful and wonderful world.

Xiao Lan took the opportunity to hold his hand.

Lu Zhui made a bang in his heart and turned to look at him.

"There are too many people in it. In case it gets squeezed away, it will take another long time." Xiao Lan's eyes were calm and he clasped his fingers.

Lu Zhui: "..."

Lu Zhui said, "Really?"

"Yes." Xiao Lan smiled, holding his hand and walking slowly along the long street.

The touch from his palm was dry and warm. Lu Zhui felt that he was a little stiff, but he thought it was good. Surrounded by the noisy crowd, the lights and shadows in front of him, the lanterns were red, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance. The crowd was too crowded, and Xiao Lan would still pull him in front of him and circle a small world of silence with his arms.

"Tired of walking?" After arriving in a relatively secluded place, Xiao Lan released his hand and asked with concern, "Why haven't I heard anything."

Lu Chai shook his head: "...No."

"Then sit for a while, I'll buy some sour plum soup and come back." Xiao Lan urged, "Don't run around, do you know?"

Sitting on a big rock, Lu Chai felt that he was treated like a small baby for the first time in his life, and treated with such care. He originally wanted to say that he was not powerless, but he raised his eyes to see that Xiao Lan had already gone far, his tall figure hidden in the crowd, still very eye-catching.

Lu Zhui curled his fingers unconsciously. Originally, he wanted to put his hand on his face to dissipate some of the hot temperature, but suddenly remembered that Xiao Lan had held his hand just now, and his whole body suddenly became stiffer. The buzzing in his head constantly, the light and shadow in front of him flowed, he felt that he was 80% demonized or poisoned.

"Mingyu, Mingyu." Xiao Lan shook her hand in front of him, "What do you think?"

Lu Chai suddenly returned to his senses: "No, you are back."

"Taste it, it's said it's not bad." Xiao Lan handed him the bowl. "Although the weather is not hot, there are a lot of people here. See if you are sweating, you can cool down after drinking."

"Just a bowl?" Lu Chai cupped his hands. "How about you?"

"You're done drinking, I have one sip left." Xiao Lan sat beside him, "I didn't really like this sweet and sour thing."

So Lu Zhui's heart became complicated and chaotic again. He glanced at the people around him. He didn't know why. Some things, such as living in the same house, riding the same horse, using the same bowl, and just in broad daylight. Holding hands and walking with a murmur of laughter, it is obviously very ambiguous and intimate, but when he speaks it in his mouth, it is very calm, as if it should be the case among friends, there is nothing strange. After thinking about it, he was rarely confused. He didn't know if it was because of his enthusiasm or because of... other reasons.

"What are you in daze?" Xiao Lan asked.

Lu Chai shook his head, took a sip with a small bowl, and said softly, "Nothing."

Xiao Lan pinned a strand of broken hair behind his ears for him, moving gently and gently.

"Big Brother." A little boy ran over, pinched a red rope in his hand, and saw that he should be dressed as a child from a poor family in this city. After he got out of school, he came to help his parents to earn money.

"Sell it?" Xiao Lan pointed to the thing in his hand.

"Yeah." The little boy nodded.

"Give me one." Xiao Lan took out the copper plate.

"We have to buy two ropes for marriage." Although the little boy is young, he is very serious when he speaks, and the voice of milk is a bit serious. "Tie together so that you can stay together."

Xiao Lan smiled and said, "You little baby, you can do business better than me."

The little boy drew him two red ropes, smiled and turned and ran away. Xiao Lan picked up one and tied it sideways to Lu Chai's wrist.

...

"What are you doing?!" Lu Chai shook his hand, almost splashing the sour plum soup on Old Master Xiao's face.

"I don't do anything, I bought it and it was a shame to lose it." Xiao Lan made a tight knot, earnestly in his eyes, "Did you not listen? The white head is not apart."

"Why don't you wear it yourself, so you have to give it to me?" Lu Zhui stuffed the bowl to him and pulled his hand back.

Xiao Lan asked, "Do you want me to wear it?"

Lu Zhui was stunned when he heard the words. There were two marriages. He wrapped one in his hand, and if the other was given to him, it would be too... it seemed that he seemed very interested.

That won't work.

So Mr. Lu forcibly took the other one away, rolled it up in his sleeve, and said, "It's mine, save it for someone else in the future."

Xiao Lan smiled happily: "Who are you going to give it to? Speak out and listen."

Lu Zhui pushed him away, got up and walked forward. It was dark around him, just enough to cover the blush behind his ears.

This lively lantern festival did not disperse until midnight. There was a mess on the street, and Lu Chai slowly walked forward stepping on wood and confetti, and said with emotion: "Like a dream, the city was full of light and shadows, but it disappeared in an instant."

"Since the men and women in this market have found their sweethearts, the Lantern Festival will naturally end." Xiao Lan said, "The next thing is to say that the matchmaker hires to tie the knot, and when they get married, they will hold hands again and again. The Lantern Festival, it is also a wonderful thing to think about how to meet each other back then."

Lu Chau smiled and said, "You guys, you are quite interesting to talk."

Xiao Lan raised the corners of her mouth: "I used to be a good person, but now I am a good person who speaks quite interestingly. What else? What do I look like in your heart? Let's talk and listen."

Lu Chai shook his head: "Nothing, only these."

"Young Master Mingyu is very literary. I can't think of two more compliments?" Xiao Lan stood in front of him and walked backwards. "I will invite you to dinner and tea again, shouldn't I get a compliment? "

Lu Zhui said: "Pit."

Xiao Lan puzzled: "What pit?"

Lu Zhui said, "Behind you—"

Before he finished speaking, Grandpa Xiao stepped on the air, splashing mud all over his legs in embarrassment.

Lu Zhui continued slowly: "There is a pit."

Xiao Lan: "..."

Lu Chai took two steps back, biting his lower lip, but his eyes flashed with a smile.

"Did you deliberately?" Xiao Lan couldn't laugh or cry.

Lu Zhui explained patiently: "I reminded you." I can only blame you for walking too fast, and I speak too slowly, there is no way.

Xiao Lan posted a post to him, as if trying to rub the mud full of legs on him, Lu Zhuifei swept back two steps and ordered: "You are not allowed to move!"

Xiao Lan's tone was quite hurt: "Are you hiding from me with light work?"

What's wrong with hiding you. Lu Zhui jumped and landed on the roof, flying over the wall with wide cuffs. His figure was as dexterous as a cat, and his beard disappeared in the layered eaves.

It really doesn't wait... Xiao Lan squatted on the side of the street, sighing deeply with one hand on his head.

The magistrate also made a lot of money by relying on the lantern festival, and he didn't make up for the big hole in the street.

Intense virtue.
