During the Chinese New Year, the capital city is like a fairyland on earth.
Students who have been admitted to Taixue will not miss it, making friends and enjoying the bustling atmosphere.
Although it has been described in many poems and articles, the feeling of actually walking there is still different. Mr. Lu San couldn't help but stop in the busiest places on the street, following the onlookers, either clasping their hands and applauding, or laughing happily.
.
However, the servants around him were not as calm as before, and were a little nervous. They looked around and kept urging.
"Master, please move forward."
"Sir, let's go sit in a restaurant."
"Sir, we—"
The young master finally turned around and said, "If you are tired, go back and rest first."
The servants shook their heads.
Lu Yizhi looked at them and frowned slightly: "What's the matter?"
In the past, servants were not like this. Wherever the master went, they would just clear the way in front of him and crowd behind him, never interfering in the slightest.
The servants shook their heads "No, no"
"Young Master," the elderly servant said, "The eldest master and his wife have repeatedly told you to take good care of the Young Master." Then he pointed around and said, "There are too many people in the capital, and we are worried."
Lu Yizhi smiled: "The emperor is not worried, so what are you worried about?"
After saying that, he walked forward with a smile.
The servants hurriedly followed, "Young master is talking about it." "It's because we haven't seen the world."
Even though he said this, his expression was still nervous under the bright lights, and his eyes were wandering all over the place.
On the street ahead, a restaurant had set up a large lantern mountain, and there were the most people around it. Lu Yizhi naturally wanted to go over to take a look, but as soon as he walked over, he was called out. These people were dressed in gorgeous clothes, which can be described as romantic, and they were from the capital.
Children of aristocratic families.
Although Mr. Lu came from a remote town and was a merchant, as a favored disciple of Dr. Xiahou of Taixue, he was no longer an unknown person in the capital. He was outstanding in talent and learning, young and handsome, and had a bright future. The sons of aristocratic families also rushed to make friends with him.
He extended an invitation.
Lu Yizhi was also free and easy in front of the children of the aristocratic family, and happily went to the appointment.
Seeing the young master walking into the gorgeous restaurant next to him, the Lu family's servants finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since Mr. Lu sent a letter saying that when Qixing came to the capital, he must take good care of the third young master and never let the servant come even close to him. They were really on guard all the time.
The daily life is fine, the young master is studying in Taixue, and the important place of Taixue is guarded by guards, so no one can get close to him.
During the Chinese New Year, people all over the capital come out to play and wander around on the streets, which is very dangerous.
Now it will be fine if the young master enters the restaurant.
"The only people who can get into this kind of place are the rich and the noble. That servant girl can't get in." They whispered, and then looked at the bustling market around them, and finally relaxed their description.
Third Young Master Lu was generous to outsiders, and he was also generous to the servants around him. When they came in, they could even order a table and wait while they ate.
The servants straightened their backs and followed the young master in with great strides.
"Miss, miss, look at that lamp, it's so big." Qingzhi squeezed through the crowd, holding a meat skewer in one hand and a bag of candy canes in the other.
Behind her, Qixing followed slowly, looking up at Dengshan Mountain as she pointed.
"It's beautiful, I've never seen such a big and bright light." Qingzhi sighed with eyes full.
In the past, it was very lively during the New Year and festivals in Baiquan City. Only when I came to the capital did I realize how big the world is.
Qixing smiled and said: "It looks good."
Although the young lady said it looked good, her expression was calm, and Qing Zhi hurriedly stopped making a fuss, not to make people laugh at the country people. The master and the servant watched around the lamp for a while, and there was another noise ahead, accompanied by bursts of music.
"It seems like someone is dancing." Qing Zhi heard the shouting and said happily to Qixing.
Qixing smiled and took a step forward before her: "Let's go and have a look."
Qing Zhi couldn't help but laugh from behind. The young lady looked calm, but she also liked to watch the excitement. She smiled and chased after her.
The master and the servant watched all the way, buying what they liked and trying the delicious ones. They walked happily until late at night before going back, still carrying large and small bags in their hands.
The house is in an alley, with a single door and courtyard, and two rooms at the front and back. It was specially rented by Mrs. Yang's family. It is not far from the mansion, so it is quiet and convenient.
Entering the alley, the hustle and bustle of the market faded away. In the night, the small courtyard was decorated with red lights and the trees were decorated with flowers, full of New Year's celebrations.
Old Man Guo and his family were also given leave by Qixing to go out and see the street scenes, but there was no one at home.
"Brother Long, Brother Long." Green Pheasant called softly.
Accompanied by a rustling sound, a figure slowly rose from the corner of the room.
"I brought you delicious food." Qing Zhi said, greeting him, "Come in quickly."
The figure seemed to hesitate for a moment, then slowly walked into the room, and appeared in the light, it was the ground dragon.
"Your injury still needs to be healed. Sit down quickly." Qingzhi said, "I told you that you don't need to look after the house."
Ground Dragon said: "I am squatting and sitting outside to recover from my injuries."
Qing Zhi smiled: "Okay, you know how to take care of your injury best."
She didn't accuse him of being ignorant of good people, and she didn't criticize him any more. Miss Qixing didn't even see him. The fellow disciples she met this time were completely different from those in the capital before.
When a Liu Xiucai was killed earlier, the man in the capital became so angry that he acted as if he had caused a great disaster, and scolded and kicked him every day.
He didn't need to scold him this time to know that he had really caused a huge disaster and was used as bait by the government, leading so many people from the same family to risk their lives to save him. He really hated himself, and he didn't need to be scolded by others. He was always there
No more thinking of ways to die.
But after Miss Qixing rescued him, she didn't say a word of blame, let alone beat or scold him.
"rest assured."
She only said two words.
She took him to the capital again.
"Hide yourself to yourself."
That's all she said.
I no longer care about him, whether he has gone out, whether his whereabouts will be revealed, or even whether he will escape.
She must be assured that he won't cause trouble again.
Gundilong thought this way, and even thought that even if he caused trouble again, Miss Qixing would still deal with the aftermath.
The ground dragon sat on the chair, looking at the table full of food, and heard the maid's voice in his ears.
"You can't go out either. I'll bring you some delicious food and drink. You can try it."
He deserved it because he couldn't go out, but they didn't complain at all and even brought him delicious food and drinks from outside.
The ground dragon hummed, picked up a piece of peach cake and ate it.
This is what Master often said before, the feeling of home.
Extremely reassuring.
"What do you like? Let Brother Guo go out and buy it for you." Qingzhi said, "It's quite tiring to go out once."
After arriving in Beijing, this was also the first time that she and her young lady went out. Firstly, they worked behind closed doors to catch up on work, and secondly, they wanted to avoid trouble.
Although the young lady did not tell her in detail, she also guessed that the young lady brought back this man called Dalong because she got into big trouble.
Gundilong watched the maid walk out, holding the peach cake behind her and pouting.
In fact, what the maid said was wrong. It was her first time to go out to play, but Miss Qixing was not.
