Today's Central Plains has not yet been bound by extreme feudal ethics. Although there are differences between men and women, the atmosphere is relatively open.
During the Lantern Festival, it is not uncommon for men and women to dress up and travel with their loved ones.
Xu Qing held Xiao Ruxue's hand and walked around the lantern festival, but the shadow guards following him in casual clothes were frightened.
Even the prince's favorite little princess dared to flirt with him. The commander's move can no longer be simply described as "cruel"!
If the prince knew about this, he wouldn't be able to lead a large army to pursue him from the Chu State to the Zhao State?
Wei Xiong looked at the people around him, coughed and said, "You didn't see anything just now, do you understand?"
All the shadow guards suddenly looked confused: "What did you see? My subordinates didn't see anything."
Wei Xiong nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, let's get on with it."
These shadow guards were very clear about what they could and could not say when debriefing the prince.
For example, whether the commander has come to the camp recently, whether he treats them well, whether his requirements are strict, whether he loves his soldiers as himself, etc., you can all talk about these.
But like this... right, if you date the prince's daughter, hold the hand of the prince's daughter, you might even stay in the same room at night...
You can never say something like this!
No! They didn’t see it!
Once this is said, the commander will no longer be dismissed as a simple matter. By then, the commander's life may be on the line...
They remember how kind the commander was to them. Since the commander came, the food of their three guards has become the best among the many shadow guards!
The commander also made a meal list, such as meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits, with various combinations.
Not only has the food been improved, but a pile of supplies from the National Business Academy will be distributed to them every ten days, and there will be other silver rewards for winning the competition with the four and five guards.
Where can I find such a good leader?
Of course you have to protect it!
Protect as much as you can!
Even if the prince wants to change it, he can’t!
…
Xiao Ruxue held Xu Qing's hand and walked beside him.
They had just watched a vaudeville performer, who could spit fire after just one sip of wine. Xiao Ruxue was even more amazed, but she couldn't do this.
Because she couldn't drink and would get drunk as soon as she drank. Xu Qing said that she would act recklessly when she was drunk...
While Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue were shopping to watch the lanterns, a woman who looked like a beggar walked beside them. The woman was in ragged clothes, her face was dirty, she was hunched over, and she was followed by a boy about four or five years old. The boy was also the same.
Wearing shabby clothes, the boy has a stupid look on his face.
The beggar held a broken bowl in his hand, but there was not even a copper coin in it. However, everyone avoided him and did not dare to provoke him, and finally came to Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue.
The beggar woman said with a pleading voice: "Master and Madam, please be kind, we haven't eaten for two days, please have mercy on us two..."
Before Xu Qing had time to react, Xiao Ruxue had already taken out a piece of broken silver and put it in the beggar's bowl: "Take it to buy something to eat."
When the beggar woman saw such a large ingot of silver suddenly appearing in the bowl, she immediately thanked her profusely: "Thank you, madam, thank you, madam, thank you, sir."
Xiao Ruxue showed a happy smile on her face and said, "Okay, okay, let's go buy food."
The beggar woman thanked her again and again before leaving with her child.
Xu Qing lowered his head slightly and looked at Xiao Ruxue beside him, and said with a smile: "I have never seen you be so generous to Brother Xiao."
Xiao Ruxue said: "They haven't eaten for two days. If they don't eat, they will starve to death. They are much more pitiful than Xiao Ye! Xiao Ye is not worthy of pity."
At this moment, Xiao Ruxue saw a stall, took Xu Qing's hand and said, "Xu Qing, Xu Qing, there are lantern riddle guessers over there, shall we go over and guess the lantern riddles?"
Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay."
A crowd of people had gathered in front of the lantern riddle stall, guessing the riddles one after another. If you guessed it correctly, you would win prizes!
At this moment, the fat stall owner looked at Xu Qing and Xiao Ruxue, who were walking hand in hand, and said with a smile on his face: "Master, madam, do you want to guess lantern riddles?"
Xiao Ruxue nodded and said, "You have to guess!"
The stall owner said: "The lady and the young master will take their time and watch. If they guess correctly, they will tell the villain and the villain will take the lottery for the lady."
Xiao Ruxue nodded and started to hang the many lanterns high in the sky with the onlookers.
There is a flower rope under the lantern. There are pieces of paper on the flower rope. Lantern riddles are written on the paper. Hanging at the bottom of the flower rope is a small box. Obviously, the small box contains the lottery ticket.
Xu Qing just prayed that he wouldn't issue another discount coupon like last time.
Xu Qing was a little curious when he guessed the lantern riddles for the first time. If he guessed correctly, he would be given a free gift. Why are they so kind?
After I guessed it once, I realized that it was true that there is no evil or businessmanship!
It turned out that he was here to promote his restaurant under the guise of guessing lantern riddles.
From Xu Qing's point of view, the lantern riddles this time are probably not that simple. How could someone do a loss-making business?
Xu Qing looked at Xiao Ruxue and said, "Have you chosen which one to guess?"
Xiao Ruxue pointed to one of the lanterns among the pile and said: "The lotus-shaped one, that lantern is beautiful."
Since she was holding Xiao Ruxue with her right hand, Xu Qing stretched out her left hand and pulled the puzzle on the flower rope toward her. She looked at the lantern riddle on it. It was a lantern riddle that guessed an object:
The body is round when small, flat when large, straight when idle, and bent when busy.
The talented lady who was also looking at the lantern riddles saw the lantern riddle and smiled and said: "Why did my wife choose the most difficult one for my brother? This lantern is beautiful, and the lantern riddle hanging below is also the most difficult to solve. I have been thinking about it for a long time."
Clue."
The other talents also nodded:
"Yes, I have guessed all the lantern riddles and I have never seen such a difficult riddle."
"Same below."
"..."
Xiao Ruxue was startled when she heard the words of the people around her. She looked at Xu Qing who was thinking about it and couldn't help but said: "Is it so difficult? How about I change it and we won't guess this anymore."
Xu Qing smiled and shook his head and said: "It's not difficult. The answer to this lantern riddle is a pole. The pole is made of bamboo. When I was a child, my body was round. When I grow up and am made into a pole, it will naturally become flat. When not in use, it will be straight. If
When you pick up a heavy object and start working, it will naturally bend."
The stall owner was surprised and said: "Young Master is so smart that he hit the right answer. The answer to the riddle is the pole."
Even if Xu Qing mentioned the pole, many people around him were still thinking about what the pole was...
Xiao Ruxue guessed the answer to the riddle after seeing Xu Qing, and said with a smile: "You are so awesome! Even they couldn't guess it, but you guessed it right away!"
Xu Qing said with a smile: "It's not that these brothers can't guess it, but they've never seen it before. The shoulder pole is used by servants and farmers for work. If you don't understand the characteristics of the shoulder pole, you will naturally have no clue. Maybe even if you have seen it in the house,
I can’t even name people when I use them, let alone them, Xue’er, do you know what a pole looks like?”
"Ah?" Xiao Ruxue blinked: "What exactly is a pole?"
