Tian Minyan kept Wenrou until after lunch, and waited until Xu Yuanlin came to pick her up, then put her back. Before leaving, she didn't forget to let Tian Minyan go to her house to play, so that the two of them could talk nicely.
Back in the backyard, Luo Shi was overwhelmed with thoughts and said: "If the Xu family master keeps protecting and caring like this, Miss Wen Wen will have nothing to worry about in her life." She looked at Tian Minyan again, and said sadly: "I don't know the future.
Is my Yan'er so lucky?"
Tian Minyan was drinking tea. When she heard this, she almost spit out a mouthful of tea. She choked and turned red. She said angrily: "Mom! You are here again. Whose mother is like you, who wants to marry off her daughter right away?"
, I don’t want to, I won’t marry before I’m sixteen!”
Mrs. Gao fell in love with her when she saw her cute little daughter. She pulled her over and felt pain for a while, and said with a smile: "Your mother is nervous. You are already twelve years old. You are thirteen or fourteen years old. This is a good thing."
It’s a good idea to book first, so I don’t blame her for being nervous.”
"Aunt! You laugh at me just like my mother." Tian Minyan pouted and said, "I don't want to get married so soon. How can I be as comfortable as a daughter-in-law?"
"That's right. Being a daughter is the most comfortable thing, but if you keep this daughter for a long time, you will become an enemy." Mrs. Lu interjected with a smile while embroidering the handkerchief.
Luo Shi kept laughing. Seeing that Tian Minyan was really angry, he hurriedly said: "Okay, don't talk about her anymore. I don't know where I learned it. This temper is getting bigger and bigger, and I can't explain it at all."
"What's the matter? Our daughter is the most sensible and well-behaved girl." Mrs. Gao said with a chuckle.
"Auntie, auntie, let me be your daughter. Mom, she dislikes me." Tian Minyan immediately climbed up the pole.
"Oh, that's so sweet. Come to my house tomorrow." Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gao laughed so hard that her wrinkles wrinkled, and she hugged Tian Minyan and refused to let go.
"Why."
Seeing Tian Minyan's triumphant look, Luo Shi couldn't laugh or cry, she was angry and funny at the same time.
"Are the third brother and sister in the house?" The ladies were talking, and Tian Huaifang's voice sounded outside.
Several people looked at each other, and Luo Shi's smile faded, and he responded calmly: "Here you are, come in."
Tian Huaifang came in and saw that they were all doing acupuncture. He picked up the ones on the side and praised them again and again. He didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd?
Tian Minyan was the first to couldn't help it anymore and asked.
Tian Huaifang laughed and said that she had heard that there was a lantern show in the state capital at night and wanted to go out and see it together.
It turns out that this is the case. Tian Minyan also heard from Xie Chengzhong that this lantern festival is actually a promotional activity organized by the Chamber of Commerce. Each merchant provides colorful palace lanterns and also sets corresponding test questions. If you answer them well, you will get a lottery prize.
"Mom, I'm here to play anyway, why don't we go out and have a look?" Tian Minyan actually wasn't very interested, but my aunt and Luo Shi rarely saw such activities, so it would be good to go and experience it together.
"Isn't this just for girls and boys?" Luo Shi hesitated.
"Oh, let me ask you clearly. This lantern show is held every year. It is very lively, and all the ladies and girls will go there. It's a rare opportunity." Tian Huaifang said with bright eyes.
Tian Minyan glanced at her and lowered her eyelids. There must be more than one person who is so enthusiastic. There is also a wonderful thing about girls and talented people who can see each other in the eye!
"Since everyone is here, let's go and see something. This countryman has never seen anything like this." Gao was the first to make the decision.
"I won't go. It will definitely be crowded at that time." Mrs. Lu smiled and touched her belly: "I'll just stay at home and watch the kids."
Tian Min had some hesitation on his face. The squeeze was inevitable. Mrs. Lu was pregnant with the child. It would be great if nothing happened. If something happened, she would be extremely happy and sad.
"Then I won't go either. I'll stay with you at home." Luo Shi said immediately.
"No, third sister, go ahead. I can still take care of the two children, and Yaya can be taken care of as well. Just go to bed now." Mrs. Lu said quickly.
"Then..." Luo Shi was very embarrassed: "Why don't you just stay at home?"
"It's okay. Let's go out and visit the state capital tomorrow. Besides, I have a long head at night, so I'll just take a rest." Ms. Lu smiled, not minding it at all.
"Okay, I will bring back the most beautiful palace lantern for you, my sister-in-law." Tian Minyan said with a smile.
After it was agreed upon, Tian Minyan went to make arrangements for the trip. After all, these were all female relatives. Although they were not from a wealthy family, the reputation of a woman's family was very important. Better arrangements would make it less ugly.
At the end of Youshi, it was completely dark. Tian Minyan and his party went out in great force. In order to avoid losing their way, Tian Minyan specially transferred Xie Chengzhong, and then called Li Da, the son of Lao Li Tou, who was guarding the state house, and
My uncle, Luo Yaozu, escorted the group towards the bustling center of the city.
It's mid-May and the beginning of summer. There's a gentle breeze and the streets are bustling with people.
Tian Minyan's restaurant was also busy. He parked his carriage at the place where the carriages and horses were parked, and took a look at his business. It was full of people.
Liang Darong had known for a long time that his boss was going to come out, so he asked Tian Minyan to come up with an extremely difficult question for the first floor, and he responded to the occasion.
During the lantern festival, it was about guessing lantern riddles, pairing couplets, and composing poems. Tian Minyan thought for a while, pursed her lips and smiled, and wrote seven long words in a row, and asked Liang Darong to post it, saying that if anyone got the correct answer, he would give it to the best person.
A beautiful palace lantern.
Liang Darongguang looked at the seven long characters and couldn't think of a single word couplet. There were only seven long characters. How could it be right?
However, he didn't ask any more questions. The master's words were correct. As soon as this couplet appeared, it aroused everyone's interest. They all scratched their heads and meditated. For a time, more people gathered on the first floor. In fact, there were many
Many people consider themselves to be talented people.
Tian Minyan didn't know that her theft had resulted in the palace lantern on the first floor not being successfully sent out, and the couplet became an absolute, hanging on the gate of the first floor of the state capital for many years, and was used by many scholars and talents.
He talked about it with pleasure, but was finally exposed.
Because it is the annual lantern show, the state capital will also extend the curfew time this night. Therefore, there are many vendors selling goods in the streets and alleys, and the topics presented by each vendor are similar, but people are still enjoying it.
Tian Minyan walked slowly beside Luo Shi and the others. Before setting off, she had already said in advance that there must be a lot of people outside. If you accidentally get separated, don't wander around looking for someone, but go to the first place.
Go upstairs or go back to the farm to wait.
The street was very lively. Xiaowu and Luo Xiaotao's half-year-old children were very noisy, buying candied haws, sugar figures, and monkeys. Girls, such as Huang Wenru and Tian Huailan's daughter Yinbao, tended to those
Small jewelry items.
Gao and Luo were absent-minded. They had to look at the children and the beautiful palace lanterns hanging out, and they were most busy.
Tian Minyan smiled when she saw it. She seemed to feel most at ease among so many people, so she also looked at the palace lantern. Suddenly, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Why does that man look so familiar? Is he Yang Guan?
But Qi Shiqi has returned to Kyoto. Is he back?
Tian Minyan looked over carefully, but no one was there anymore, and Luo Shi in front was urging her, so she had no choice but to move forward.
What she didn't know was that a fierce assassination was taking place in a dark alley at this time. Under the flash of swords, blood spattered on the mottled walls, and a man in black fell to the ground.
"He's so cold-blooded that he dispatched the number one killer in the world, what a guy." A handsome man pulled down the veil of the masked killer and sneered.
"Stop being busy, go find the master first." Another man in black, who almost blended into the night, frowned and said.
The two men flashed in a flash and soon disappeared. The alley returned to calm in an instant, leaving only the killer with eyes wide open.
Tian Minyan followed Luo Shi and the others. Seeing the triumphant look Huang Wenru cast towards her, she clicked her tongue and shook her head. Wasn't it just a right match to get a palace lantern? Is it worth showing off like this?
She was looking at the bustling crowd in front of her in boredom, when suddenly a chill ran down her back, and before she could react, her mouth was covered. She was so startled that she subconsciously bent her elbows and bumped back.
The person behind her didn't seem to expect her to make such a move. He hummed and said quickly in her ear: "It's me."
Hearing that familiar voice, Tian Minyan was extremely surprised and wanted to turn around, but the person behind her put her arm on her shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Stop talking, leave here first."
He glanced at the people searching in the crowd, his eyes were sharp, the corners of his mouth were raised coldly, and the pain and numbness in his back made him almost unable to hold on.
Tian Minyan didn't say anything and let him leave with his arms around her shoulders and her head lowered. But somehow, she felt that he seemed to be placing all the weight of his body on her, making it very heavy.
The two people seemed to be slowly retreating from the crowd, but in fact they quickly retreated from the crowd. After walking a short distance, they turned into an alley, and behind them, the sound of footsteps came closer and closer.
Tian Minyan glanced at the people around her, frowned and called: "Master Qi, you..."
Qi Shiqi's eyes were filled with mist, and he bit the tip of his tongue hard. The bloody blood made his remaining consciousness slightly clearer. He turned into the alley, but it was a dead end, and he couldn't help but secretly hate it.
Glancing at the tall girl next to him, he pursed his lips, suddenly pulled out the hairpin from her hair, scattered her hair, pushed her to the wall, pressed her forward and said quickly: "Cooperate.
I."
Before Tian Minyan could react, she was hugged tightly by him, and her clothes were pulled by him, exposing half of her shoulders. She couldn't help being shocked, but at this time, there was a sound of footsteps approaching.
Their location was very dark. Qi Shiqi kissed her lips and whispered: "Scream."
Call, what is it called?
Tian Minyan's head turned into a ball of paste. She heard the sound of footsteps approaching, mixed with the voices of people telling her to chase her. She was suddenly pinched at the waist, and she couldn't help but feel sore, and then she let out a grunt.
"Louder."
Tian Minyan's head buzzed, this is...
As footsteps approached, she understood. She quickly avoided Qi Shiqi's lips, pressed him against the wall, covered most of his body, pressed his head on her neck, and shouted: "No,
Don't be like this...Master, um..."
The footsteps stopped, Qi Shiqi stiffened, and the hands holding her couldn't help but tighten. Damn it, where did she learn this?
Feeling the cold air coming from not far behind her, Tian Minyan's body stiffened, her head tilted back slightly, but her hands tightly held Qi Shiqi's head and pressed it against her neck, her voice became even more ecstatic: "Ah.
...Master...don't..." Not only that, her legs were slightly raised and hooked around Qi Shiqi's legs.
Although Tian Minyan is twelve years old, her height is similar to Luo's. She is very tall, almost the same as an adult woman of fifteen or sixteen years old. The location they are in is dark. From the perspective of those behind them, there are only one or two people here.
tryst.
Tian Minyan called hard several times, and the people behind her became more and more certain that it was a pair of wild mandarin ducks, and the footsteps retreated along the way they came.
Qi Shiqi breathed a sigh of relief, and the hand holding Tian Minyan also loosened, but the dizziness in his head made him unable to muster the strength, especially the faint fragrance of the child coming from the person in his arms.
It made him feel a little dazed. He tried his best to hold up his eyelids and tried to stand up straight, but his head sank and he passed out.
Before he lost consciousness, he only thought of one sentence, where did she learn this bad move?
Tian Minyan didn't notice anything strange about Qi Shiqi. She listened carefully and found that the person behind him had left, so she pushed him: "Your Majesty, he has left."
When there was no response, she pushed again, but still no response.
She was startled, then stretched out her hand to hug him. She moved her hand to the position under his butterfly bone, but she felt a feeling of wetness, and she couldn't help but froze.
She raised her hand tremblingly in front of her, looked at it under the faint moonlight, then reached under the tip of her nose and sniffed. Tian Minyan almost screamed.
Blood, yes blood.
Tian Minyan was so anxious that she pushed Qi Shiqi: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up."
She pushed Qi Shiqi away. Although the location was dark, under the weak moonlight, his face was very pale and he was already unconscious.
what to do?
Tian Minyan supported him hard, thought about it, and placed him on the ground first. After thinking about it, she still felt uneasy, so she took off one of her coats and covered him all over, and she walked quickly along the alley.
Road ran out.
What Tian Minyan didn't know was that her every move was in the eyes of the two men standing on the high roof.
"Don't want to go down?" The man in black frowned. The master was injured and it would be too late.
"Wait a moment." Another man said in a calm voice.
Tian Minyan came back soon, took off Qi Shiqi's clothes, put them on her hands, squatted down, and carried Qi Shiqi on her back. However, Qi Shiqi was too heavy, so she carried him for two steps.
, she threw herself forward due to lack of physical strength, but when she landed on the ground, she subconsciously opened her hands to block the person behind her from falling to the ground. With her body in the way, Qi Shiqi fell directly on her back.
He didn't throw it directly to the ground, but it hit her so hard that she groaned.
The man standing on the roof nodded, then raised his toes and landed in front of Tian Minyan.
It’s over!
Tian Minyan looked at the dark figure in front of her and secretly screamed that something was wrong. She didn't know what kind of assassin Qi Qi Qi had provoked. This time, both of them were convinced. When she raised her head and saw a familiar face, she was overjoyed.
