Tian Minyan was wrapped like a rice dumpling by Zi'er, hugged the flying eaves and walked over the wall out of the Zhong County uncle's house, and got into an ordinary carriage parked at the corner of the street.
Entering the warm carriage, Tian Minyan gasped and said: "Hey, Zi'er, are you showing off your skills or something? Why can't you get out through the corner door? You're screwed by me."
Zi'er took out a baggage from the low cabinet in the carriage, and while rummaging through the contents, she said: "Miss, you forgot, during the Chinese New Year, you said you would step up the security of Zhong County's uncle's house. This gatekeeper and the
The patrolling servants patrol every place once every two hours, and there are people guarding the doors. Can you come out openly?"
Tian Minyan opened her mouth, blinked, but did not speak. She just heard her say: "Madam has been strict with your rules recently. If she knew you were out at night, how could she be right?"
Tian Minyan rubbed her forehead and said hesitantly: "Well, this is not a big deal."
Luo Shi really started to follow her rules. After the Wanshou Festival, he gave a stern warning to the girls around her, not to leave her side casually, and she and Qi Shiqi were not allowed to go too far and do things that would harm their reputation.
Son, two people are not allowed to meet alone in private. Even if they do meet, they must be accompanied by a girl, so as not to be caught and it will be harmful to their reputation.
Not only that, since knowing Qi Shiqi's plan, Luo Shi also started to ask her to become more of a female celebrity, and secretly prepared the descendant buckets and other things that would be used for weddings.
Just as she was thinking about it, Tian Minyan was startled by Zi'er's movements. She looked at her and then at her hands: "What are you doing?"
"Change some clothes." Zi'er said and started to help her undress.
Zi'er was a secret guard and was not used to serving people. When he helped her unbutton her clothes, she moved so violently that it hurt Tian Minyan's neck. She gritted her teeth in pain and said, "Don't move."
, I’ll do it myself.”
Zi'er stopped with some sarcasm and took out a piece of clothing. Tian Minyan took a look and saw that the material was not luxurious, but it could be worn by a wealthy family. He muttered in his heart, it was almost the same, so what else should he change into.
After changing clothes and tying up her hair with a emerald-fringed hairpin, the carriage began to move. After a while, the carriage stopped, the curtains were lifted, and a man jumped in.
Tian Minyan was startled, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but said angrily: "Who are you scaring?"
Qi Shiqi smiled and glanced at Zi'er, who bowed respectfully and jumped off the carriage.
There were only two people left in the carriage, so Qi Shiqi fell back and lay directly on her lap.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Tian Minyan pushed him, but she smelled a smell of wine on the tip of her nose, and asked, "Have you had wine?"
"Yes, I ate two cups with the Third Prince Consort." Qi Shiqiu replied with half-closed eyes.
"Then why don't you go back home and rest?" Tian Minyan wanted to move his head away, but finally couldn't bear it and straightened his head position to make him lie down more comfortably.
"Take you somewhere." Qi Shiqi snorted comfortably and said, "Call me when you get there."
Tian Minyan hummed, thought for a moment, untied his hair crown, combed it with her fingers as a comb, and gently pressed his head.
His hair was dark, thick, and smooth, running smoothly from his fingertips. The smell of soap emanated for a while, and Tian Minyan was a little jealous. How could a man have such good hair?
Looking at his eyebrows, they are also thick and black, his eyelashes are long, like feather fans, his nose is strong, and his lips are thin, slightly pursed at this time, red and very attractive.
Tian Minyan swallowed her saliva and listened to his balanced breathing. She called softly twice, but when there was no response, she couldn't help but cough lightly and slowly lowered her head.
He pecked quickly like a chicken pecking at rice. Seeing that he still didn't respond, Tian Minyan was a little happy, licked her lips, and lowered her head.
This time, she was still a little away from his lips, but he suddenly opened his eyes, startling her, and she wanted to raise her head reflexively, but she was pressed down by his hand.
"Woo..."
He clasped her head with his palm, held hers with his lips and tongue, licked and washed it gently with his tongue, and rolled it into his mouth. The fragrant smell of old wine immediately made her feel a little dizzy.
He lay on her lap and held her head down. This action was tiring. After a while, her neck was numb. When he let go, her whole neck was stiff and she couldn't move.
.
Seeing this, Qi Shiqi chuckled, turned over and sat up, pulled her into his arms, stretched out his hands and rubbed her gently.
"You are so stupid, I don't know how you have such a long brain, you have so many ideas." Qi Shiqi said with a smile.
Tian Minyan rolled her eyes and said, "It's all your fault."
You still have the nerve to talk to her. If it weren't for him, her neck would be numb?
"Oh? I remember who stole the jade and the fragrance just now?"
Stealing jade and fragrance?
Tian Minyan's face turned red, she raised her head, stared at him, and said angrily: "Who stole the jade and the fragrance? Are you a jade? Are you?" As she said this, she poked his chest with her finger.
"Okay, okay, it was me who stole it, it was my fault." He grabbed her finger and kissed it, grinning from the corner of his mouth to his ear.
Tian Minyan's face turned red and she twitched her fingers. She couldn't help it, so she was held in his arms and lay still. She listened to his heartbeat and raised the corners of her mouth.
Neither of them spoke. There was only the sound of the carriage rolling across the brick road. The interior of the carriage was quiet and serene, as if the only sound was each other's heartbeat and breathing, but they were extremely satisfied.
Gradually, Tian Minyan couldn't help but move when she heard the bustle of people outside the car. She raised the curtain and looked out. She saw bright lights on the street. Men and women were all dressed up, with smiles on their faces, beaming with joy.
"In Kyoto, every year on the fourth day of the first lunar month, there is the Qiao Lantern Festival. You can guess lantern riddles, look at the lanterns, and walk around." Qi Shiqi followed her gaze and explained with a smile.
"Ah, isn't it the fifteenth day of the first lunar month when you look at the lanterns? Besides, it seems to me that there are many young girls and young men."
"There is another saying that the Lantern Festival is also called Valentine's Day. Have you seen the flowers on their hands? If you have someone you like, wear a garland, or you can wear one given to you by others, as long as you like it." Qi
Shi Qi pointed at the man and woman and said, the woman wore a small wreath made of begonia flowers on her hand.
Valentine's Day? Tian Minyan smiled and said: "On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, there is Valentine's Day. Let me tell you, in the West, uh, in the Western Regions, February 14th is Valentine's Day!"
"Um?"
"The festival is just like the Chinese New Year. The atmosphere is so good. Lovers invite each other to restaurants, give gifts, flowers and so on. It's so romantic. Many people choose to get married on this day. It's very commemorative.
"
"What is romance?"
Tian Minyan coughed and said with a smile: "It just creates a feeling of joy, happiness and satisfaction."
Qi Shiqi listened thoughtfully.
The carriage stopped, Qi Qiqi helped her straighten her hair, and then said, "You comb my hair."
Tian Minyan was stunned, and immediately went to search the low cabinet with a smile, found a comb, and combed and tied his hair very seriously.
She was not good at tying her hair into a bun, and his hair was so smooth that it fell off several times without holding on tightly. In the end, she was so discouraged that she stopped tying it up and combed it straight, and took out a golden ribbon from the short cabinet to loosen it.
Tie it up loosely.
"It's done."
Qi Shiqi touched it and frowned: "What kind of hair extension is this?"
Tian Minyan took out a bronze mirror, looked at it from the front, and said with a smile: "It's good just like this, it has a romantic attitude." Just like an artist.
After thinking about it, she picked another strand from his forehead and said, "This is more perfect."
Qi Shiqi laughed. This was the first time he had seen such a weird hairstyle. He also thought that they had specially changed their clothes today just to avoid being recognized.
"Let's go."
He was about to leave, but Tian Minyan pulled him: "Ah, are you really going out like this?"
"What's wrong? Put on the veil."
Tian Minyan twitched her lips, but he had already jumped out of the car and stretched out his hand. He had to cover his face with a gauze scarf and handed over his hand.
As soon as the two got out of the car, Yang Guan handed over two garlands. Qi Shiqi put them both on her hands and pulled her forward.
"Hey, why don't you wear it?" Tian Minyan deeply felt that it was unfair.
"I am a man."
She pouted and lowered her head as if she was unhappy if you didn't wear it.
When Qi Shiqi saw him, he raised the corner of his mouth slightly, took off a belt hanging from his waist, and said, "Can you leave?"
Tian Minyan was smiling, her little face hidden under the hood of white fox fur, bright and bright, which was pretty much it.
Because it was the Qiao Lantern Festival, various lanterns were hung everywhere. Some people stopped in front of the lanterns to guess lantern riddles, make noises, and play.
There was a lot of people and bustling traffic. Tian Minyan's hand was always being held tightly. She was like a curious baby who had just come out of the world. She looked here and there, with a smile on her face and her eyes as bright as morning stars.
"Pinch someone, young master and madam, come and find one. Hey, that pair of talented and beautiful young master and wife, I'm talking about you two. Come and find the right person. I, Old Liu, will definitely make the same one."
"I sell rouge. My rouge and gouache are cheap and easy to use. Girls and ladies are coming over to take a look. Hey, sister, let's take a look."
"Don't miss it when you pass by. I just came back from the Western Regions. It's a small mirror that can reveal pores. It's clear and easy to carry. It's a must-have item for girls when traveling at home."
After hearing the advertisement, Tian Minyan looked over and was happy, and hurriedly pulled Qi Shiqi over.
There are all kinds of small mirrors, the prototypes are oval, square, and rectangular, with smooth mirror surfaces, some with handles, and some flat, with various patterns carved on the back, which are very beautiful.
"Hey, girl, this is a mirror that was just shipped from the Western Regions. Only my family has it. Look, it can make a clear picture. Put it in your purse and you can take it out at any time." The vendor saw her approaching.
, Busy enthusiastically recommended: "It can fit in such a small purse. It's so convenient for you to see." He put a round mirror into a small purse and twisted the rope to swing it around.
"How much does it cost?" A girl came up and asked.
"Foreign goods from the Western Regions, just for the New Year, are not expensive. You can take them home for only ten taels of silver," the vendor said with a smile.
After hearing this, Tian Minyan and Qi Qiqi looked at each other. Shiliang, such a mirror made of corners and corners is clearly produced by their glass shop, and there is also a logo. What a Western product, it can really blow.
Moreover, the cost of this small mirror is only one tael of silver. Their shop sells it, including various lamp oils, fire wax, manual shop rentals, etc., which means it sells it for five or six taels of silver. This vendor really dares to boast!
She put down the mirror, pulled Qi Shiqi and left. The vendor shouted hurriedly: "Hey, don't go, it's cheaper for you. How much money do you need to buy it? Girl, girl..."
"If you really like it, buy one." Seeing that she didn't even look back, Qi Shiqi said.
"Don't buy it, there are plenty of them at home." Tian Minyan said without thinking, "I'm just curious to see, hey, let's go pinch that guy."
Qi Qi Shiqi shook his head and let her pull him forward. The stall making clay figurines had just sent away a pair of people, and when he saw them coming forward, he greeted them warmly.
"Uncle, pinch one for us too." Tian Minyan took off her veil and said with a smile.
"okay."
Qi Shiqi stood there, seeing her smiling all the time, the corners of his mouth also flew up, and he looked at her with a very doting look.
As time passed, the uncle quickly handed over the two kneaded clay figures: "Okay, take a look."
Tian Minyan took it and looked at it carefully. It was indeed very similar. She smiled at Qi Shiqi and said, "It's really similar."
Qi Shiqi hummed and turned his head slightly. Zi'er behind him handed over a piece of silver, and he led Tian Minyan forward.
Away from the hustle and bustle of the street, various colorful boats floated on the Baiyue River. Tian Minyan was led into a gorgeously decorated boat by Qi Qiqi. She sat on the boat and looked at the decorations in the cabin.
The cabin is mainly in warm colors. Glazed octagonal palace lanterns are hung at the four corners of the cabin, illuminating the inside as bright as day. The bed and cabinets are all available. There is also an ink painting and large characters hanging on it. On the small table, there are exquisite snacks.
The stove nearby was boiling water and making a gurgling sound.
Before Tian Minyan could speak, Qi Qiqi had already quickly set out the tea set and made tea. She held her chin and looked at him. His movements were full of elegance and nobility. Coupled with his hair tied back loosely, it was quite a bit...
It is the attitude of a hermit who does not care about worldly affairs.
There was a faint scent of tea. He raised his head, smiled slightly, reached out and flicked her forehead, and said, "Silly girl."
Tian Minyan clicked her tongue, touched her forehead, and asked: "The place you said you wanted to come to is actually here, right?"
"Like it?"
Tian Minyan looked out and saw that the Baiyue River was very big. There were lanterns hanging on the painted boats on the river. There were melodious sounds of silk and bamboo, accompanied by the sound of poetry and lyrics. There were also many lotus lanterns floating on the river, which looked like lights in the dark night.
The stars twinkle and are very beautiful.
She nodded and said, "Beautiful, quiet." After saying that, she turned her head and was stunned when she saw the thing in his hand: "This is it?"
"Birthday gift." Qi Shiqi handed it over with a smile, looked at her and said, "You are already fifteen this year, and you still have one year left."
Tian Minyan took it and looked at it carefully. It was a mutton-fat white hosta, completely white and crystal clear. The head of the hairpin was engraved with a hosta flower that symbolized purity.
She bit her lip, then suddenly leaned over to kiss his lips, smiled, and said with crooked eyes, "Well, there's still one year left."
