The two of them walked quickly to the giant lantern with dragons and phoenixes by the Ying River. The onlookers on the third floor and the third floor had already dispersed.

The few people were guarding the empty dragon and phoenix skeletons, sighing.

The remaining bamboo and wood skeletons had also been burned to a charcoal black color by the fire.

As soon as someone touches it, or a slightly stronger wind blows, it will make a crunching sound.

The skeleton body also swayed slightly from left to right, and layers of fine black powder fell down.

It looked shaky and fragile, like an old man in his twilight years who would collapse at the slightest touch.

"well!"

Lu Chengfeng heard another heavy sigh.

A man wearing an ordinary cloth was squatting next to the remains of the large lantern with dragons and phoenixes, his head buried heavily between his knees, looking distressed.

"This eldest brother, is this big lantern of dragons and phoenixes in the throne lamenting?"

Lu Chengfeng stepped forward and asked.

The man in civilian clothes nodded heavily, his eyes frowning.

"I see that most of the people watching have lost their interest. Some go home, and some go to other places to guess lantern riddles and visit the night market. I wonder why this big brother hasn't left for a long time? But with this big lantern that was burned by the fire

, what’s the origin?”

Lu Chengfeng asked speculatively after seeing the lost look on his face.

"My little brother, you have such good eyesight! To tell you the truth, I am the maker of this large lantern with dragons and phoenixes."

The man was still squatting on the ground and did not get up. He just paused and replied.

"That's it! I'm disrespectful!"

Lu Chengfeng bowed to the man.

Seeing that his eyes were still looking at the burnt dragon and phoenix headlamp next to him, with only its remains remaining, with a look of reluctance on his face, he whispered softly:

"It is understandable that these vivid handicrafts by craftsmen must have put countless efforts into their creation! People often say that only when the soul of the craftsman and the object are combined into one can the creation be made

What a marvelous and ingenious thing!"

When Lu Chengfeng said this, the man's uneasy feelings that he had been holding back for a long time suddenly burst out. A seven-foot man cried like a tearful person:

"What the little brother said is absolutely true! It's exactly the truth! I worked hard for three years to build this big lantern with dragons and phoenixes! A person's life begins with bamboo and wood strips, and then one by one.

Apply layers of paper and remove the paste! In the past three years, this lamp has been given life by me! To put it in an exaggerated way, it is like my own biological child!"

The man was crying heartbrokenly and beating his chest and feet, unable to control himself and said:

"Watching it burn is like watching someone burn your own child. My heart hurts like flesh is being ripped out! Wuwuwuwu..."

When Lu Chengfeng heard this, he didn't know how to comfort him, so he had to use the most ordinary polite words and comfort him:

"Brother, please forgive me, please forgive me..."

The man cried for a long time before he vented all the grievances and anger in his heart.

He wiped away tears, stood up, gave Lu Chengfeng a fist and thanked him:

"Little brother, someone made you laugh tonight! Thank you little brother for accompanying me to comfort me! I wonder who your little brother's last name is? We'll see you later. See you some other time!"

"You? The eldest brother is indeed from the Youfu family on Nanshi Street in the south of the city?"

Lu Chengfeng shouted again in surprise and joy, still mumbling something.

Talking to himself:

"It seems that Mr. You didn't lie to me! I thought he was teasing me just now, or maybe he was just talking nonsense because he drank too much! Who would have thought that what he told was all the truth!"

When the man heard this, he also had a look of surprise on his face. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he turned around again and asked Lu Chengfeng:

"This little brother actually knows about Nanshi Street Youjia? Could it be that he has some friendship with my father?"

"No, no, I just happened to meet the young master of your house tonight. We had a very pleasant chat with him and had a hearty drink in the Jiuxian's residence. Only then did I know that your special skill is to tie lanterns.

Ah! Hahaha! Speaking of which, your Young Master You’s drinking capacity is really bad! I need to train him more in the future!"

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile as he thought of Mr. You's foolish appearance after being drunk.

The man was shocked when he heard this. He paused for a long time and then said:

"You, Young Master You? Little brother, is it possible that you are mistaken? There is no young master in our Nanshi Street You Mansion! I'm afraid the young master is talking about someone else! Jinghua City is so big, it doesn't matter if you have another surname.

What a deal!"

The wandering man waved his hand, shook his head like a rattle, and tried his best to deny it.

"Impossible! He told me that his home is in the south of Jinghua City, Nanshi Street Youfu! It's impossible for you Nanshi Street to have two Youfu in one neighborhood! By the way! Speaking of which, I

I am really destined to travel to your mansion with you! Last time I was at the Jiu Xianju Prince’s dojo, and I got to know the lady of your mansion.”

Lu Chengfeng looked in disbelief and quickly justified himself and explained.

"Miss? When did Miss sneak out of the house again? If the master finds out, she will have to be whipped again!"

The Youjia man muttered to himself.

"Hahaha, it's true! Young Master You also told me that your master has very strict upbringing and doesn't allow your young lady to leave the boudoir. She is not even allowed to go out to look at the lanterns during the bustling Lantern Festival!"

When Lu Chengfeng heard it, it was consistent with what he heard from Mr. You tonight, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking that he would still have a chance in the future, he laughed easily.

"By the way, are your young master and young lady the twins of the same mother? It's funny, when I first met your young master tonight, I mistakenly thought he was your young lady! How ridiculous!"

When Lu Chengfeng spoke, he felt a little ashamed of himself, and his ears turned red.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, the man also clapped his hands and started laughing. He lost his aggrieved look just now and said:

"I finally figured it out! My young lady must have disguised herself as a man and sneaked out of the house to join in the fun! How can there be any twins? It's just my young lady's words! She is the apple of my master's eye, so on weekdays

Your precious tightness is there! Little brother, have you been tricked by her? Hahahahaha..."

Zhui Feng, who was standing by silently, burst out laughing when he heard this.

This joyful and peaceful atmosphere really gave Lu Chengfeng a black line on his face, which was extremely embarrassing!

The eldest lady of Youfu is really an eccentric person!

I was actually being played around with by her in the midst of applause!

Lu Chengfeng's face turned red and his neck became thick with embarrassment.

But then I thought about it, Miss Youjia’s questioning words after she was drunk at Jiuxianju, now that I think about it, it seems more like jealousy!

Thinking of this, Lu Chengfeng suddenly parted the dark clouds and saw the sunrise, the joy of spring was coming!

It seems that she is very interested in me

Think! Only then will you inquire about my reputation, pay attention to my whereabouts, and be jealous of Miss Qian and Miss Xuanji! Hahahahaha!

Lu Chengfeng rubbed his hands excitedly and ran back in a hurry.

Damn it! She is a delicate woman, how could he leave her alone in Jiuxianju at night?

Besides, she was very drunk! What should she do if she was attracted by some evil person and had evil thoughts?

After all, she is so beautiful and charming!

Lu Chengfeng thought, wishing he could slap himself several times!

Even if he missed the opportunity to win the beauty back, he actually put her in such a dangerous situation!

If he hadn't dragged her to Jiuxianju to drink, she wouldn't have been so drunk!

So, while he ran back quickly, he shouted to Zhui Feng without looking back:

"Zhui Feng, you stay with Brother You to find out where the fire started! I have to go back and see if Miss You is sober! If there is anything wrong with her, I, Lu Chengfeng, won't be able to survive!"

Lu Chengfeng flew all the way towards Jiuxianju.

It was already past midnight, and there were already far fewer people enjoying the lanterns and joining in the fun on the road.

The road was run much smoother by the wind than when we arrived just now.

In the blink of an eye, he had returned to Jiuxianju.

When I got outside, I saw the waiter preparing to turn off the lights and close the shop.

Lu Chengfeng nervously pulled the waiter's arm and asked:

"Why is it closed? Where is the young man in the private dining room on the third floor?"

"Young Master, what Young Master? I'm afraid we at Jiuxianju must receive thousands of noble sons a day!"

The waiter was obviously tired and sleepy. He didn't even raise his eyelids to look at Lu Chengfeng. He yawned and replied casually.

"It's the young master in snow-green clothes that I asked you to take care of just now! You took my money!"

Lu Chengfeng grabbed the waiter's wrists, shook him suddenly, woke him up, and yelled urgently.

"Oh! Yes! It's that young master! I remembered! He's gone!"

The waiter in the shop just patted his head and thought back.

"Left? He was so drunk! How could he have left on his own? Did you see clearly? Did he get up and leave on his own, or was he taken away by someone? Tell me quickly!"

Lu Chengfeng was furious, swung his big palm upwards, pinched the waiter's neck, and asked angrily.

"He walked by himself!"

The waiter took a breath and paused between words.

"Are you serious about what you said? Are you afraid it's not a shady store? If I find out that you lied to me, I will definitely make you walk around in pain!"

Lu Chengfeng's big hand put some force on his neck and threatened.

"This young master has something to say! Our Jiuxianju is also a well-known time-honored brand in Jinghua City! You have wronged us by saying this! I testify that what the waiter said is true! I also saw the Xue Qing you mentioned The young man is dressed in clothes. Isn’t he handsome? He looks as handsome as a little girl! He left on his own!"

The shopkeeper didn't know when he had come out of the kitchen where the fire had been turned off, and he hurriedly testified for his waiter and said with confidence.

Lu Chengfeng then let go of his hand and walked away angrily.
