Wearing robes and make-up everywhere, the lights on the Sixth Street are noisy with children.
The Lantern Festival in Lingmiao is more lively than that in Changjing. Shen Qianqian did not lie to Chen Mo. On this day, almost the entire city will be decorated with various lanterns, and there are not a few people who perform riddles. Many places People like to come to Lingmiao on this day to see the lanterns all over the city.
Young and beautiful girls, graceful and gorgeous ladies, charming brothel ladies... Ahem, in short, the scenery tonight is very beautiful and moving, and many poems, songs, lovers and concubines are spread here.
Shen Qianqian also put on specially prepared clothes and walked with her family on the lantern streets decorated by her own chamber of commerce. Almost all of the shops here were from Treasure Shop. There were lanterns strung between the buildings. They were well-made and beautiful. Magnificent.
It is said that the lanterns in Lingmiao were not so lively in the past. Since the rise of the Shen family, Shen Wanguan, who was still a young man at that time, suddenly had a whim. Taking advantage of his father's status as a nouveau riche, he spent a lot of money on the Lantern Festival that year. Lingmiao's Treasure Shop was decorated with splendor and various activities were held, attracting many people.
At first no one knew the reason, but later people knew that this was a move by the Shen family to gain fame, but Shen Qianqian knew the real meaning.
In fact, a girl at that time said: "I want to dance in the brilliant galaxy, but it's a pity that the galaxy is too high."
And a high-spirited young man said: "Then I will invite Xinghe to the human world."
That year, the girl really danced a dance that only teenagers could see in this brilliant galaxy. From then on, the two became the happiest stars in the galaxy. Soon after, they had a baby. They have their own little stars, one is named Shen Baibai and the other is named Shen Qianqian.
And the galaxy created by that boy actually comes to the world on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, blessing those handsome men and beautiful women.
"Qianqian, are you a little disappointed that your big brother didn't show up?" The beautiful woman held Shen Qianqian's hand and looked at the riddles hanging on the lantern under a lantern: she looked back and smiled happily.
"No, brother is very busy. Maybe he can't get away. It's okay. He can't come this year. There's still next year. Anyway, the lanterns are there every year." Shen Qianqian said with a smile, without any loss in her eyes. Meaning.
"Mom, I guessed it." Shen Qianqian jumped slightly, pulled down the note, and said with a smile: "It's a flirtation, hehe."
After saying that, Shen Qianqian took Shen Baibai and ran to redeem the prize.
"Okay, Qianqian knows what's right. She's very smart. You don't have to worry about her being lovesick like those ordinary girls." Shen Waguan held the lady who had given birth to two children of this age and was still beautiful. The warm feeling passed between the two of them.
"That's not what I'm worried about. What I'm worried about is that Chen Mo has already missed appointments twice, and Qianqian has a grudge against him." The woman said leisurely, with a very soft tone. "Although Chen Mo is very kind to us, he also has a grudge against him." You can't be so untrustworthy, it will affect Qianqian. After all, our Shen family values credit the most." Juquge
"Haha, madam, you are worrying too much." Shenyang Wanguan said with a smile. "Chen Mo is not a businessman, and the friendship between him and us is not business. Have you not heard Zheng Fu say that people in the world can't help themselves."
"Do you know where he went?" the beautiful woman asked.
"I know a little bit, but I can't tell you." Shen Wanguan said with a smile.
"If you can't, why don't you just say you don't know." The woman said angrily.
"Because I don't want to lie to you." Shen Waguan squeezed their hands tightly under their sleeves.
"Glib, tell me what happened to Widow Song." The woman looked into Shen Waguan's eyes and said.
"Widow Song? Oh, what are you talking about, Mrs. Song? What can happen to us? We are purely business partners." Shen Wanguan said slightly nervously.
"Then why are you nervous?"
"No, no."
"When you get nervous, your little finger will move involuntarily." The woman grabbed the hand they were holding.
"Ah hahaha, it's better to know your husband than your wife." Shen Wanguan said with a haha. "There is really nothing shameful between me and her. He has been seducing me. Well~, it's not quite accurate to say seducing. Anyway, She just wants to enter our Shen family with the property left to her by her deceased husband, and she also said that she can be a small one."
"Isn't this pie in the sky?" the woman said with a playful smile.
"Pie? Maybe it's fishing bait? She's not as simple as you think."
"Then you're still so close?"
"With such a big bait, it's okay to rub it a little, as long as the hook doesn't bite." Shen Wanguan said with a cunning look.
"Look, I'm not coveting other people's beauty." As she said that, the woman's other hand pinched Shen Waguan's waist.
"I'm talking about her family property. It hurts. Can you please be gentle? There are many old acquaintances here."
The woman "hummed", shook off his hand, and walked towards her two children.
.......
"Qingqing, are you still feeling unwell?"
In the attic of the small courtyard of Wu Mansion, Wu Ling'er was lying on the bed. Because she was covered with black gauze, she couldn't see the quality of her face, but she could see the look of exhaustion in her eyes.
"Thank you, Princess Concubine, for your concern. In fact, things are much better now." Duanmu Qingqing, who was also in the room at this time, shook her head and said. Duanmu Qingqing didn't know that Wu Ling'er was in the Wu Mansion. She came to see Wu Kou because she was visiting friends. Later, when I woke up, I realized that Wu Ling'er was also here. I just heard that she was not in good health, so I didn't come to see her until today.
"Since you have nothing to do, why don't you go for a walk with Wu Kou? If I remember correctly, today is the Lantern Festival." Wu Ling'er coughed twice. In the past few days, she spent very little time awake and fell into coma. I was groggy and time was a little blurry.
"Actually, Qingqing doesn't like lively places very much." Duanmu Qingqing said against her will.
"Don't like the excitement? Are you trying to imitate Chen Mo? It's better not to imitate someone like him, it's not suitable for you. Warrior men are a bit slow in this kind of thing. Since he is slow, you should be more active." Wu Ling'er's eyes Bend a bit.
"Actually, I think Miss Cheng..."
"The Cheng family is not the best choice for a martial artist. If you are a good match for a martial artist, you are the one who is a good match for a martial artist. Although the Cheng family also likes martial arts, but mixed with many other things, it will be very tiring in the future."
Duanmu Qingqing was interrupted by Wu Ling'er before she finished speaking.
"I heard that after you were knocked unconscious by Chen Mo that day, Wu Kou held you and wanted to turn against Chen Mo. Do you know that during the time when Chen Mo came to Changjing, Wu Kou was the elder brother on the left and the other on the right? He calls him big brother, so you are still very important in his heart."
"Empress." Duanmu Qingqing's face turned red when Wu Ling'er said it.
At this time, there was the sound of "ta-ta-ta-ta" footsteps coming from the stairs, and I heard that it was the military bandit who was coming.
Sure enough, Wu Kou appeared in the attic and brought something.
"What are you talking about?" Wu Kou asked as he put the things in his hands on the table. Then he saw Duanmu Qingqing's unusual face and asked: "Qingqing, what's wrong with you? You don't look good.
Look, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Let me take a look."
Saying that, Wu Kou put his hand on Duanmu Qingqing's forehead.
"It's a bit hot, do you want Pei Ling to take a look at it?" Wu Kou muttered.
Duanmu Qingqing blushed even more at such an intimate gesture. She pushed Wu Kou's hand away and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little bored."
"real?"
"real."
"Wu Kou." Wu Ling'er shouted.
"well."
"Qingqing, go buy something for me."
"Sister, if you need anything, I'll arrange for someone to buy it right away."
"You must go, help me go..."
Wu Ling'er didn't need many things, but they were all available in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the location she designated.
"Qingqing, have you remembered? I'm afraid the military commander has forgotten." Wu Ling gave Duanmu Qingqing a knowing look.
"Remember." Duanmu Qingqing nodded.
"Sister, can't you buy it in one place?" Wu Kou said with some confusion.
"No." Wu Ling'er said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, and there are many people on the road. Don't take the carriage and walk."
"ah!"
"Ah, what, hurry up, otherwise it will be late and some shops are closed." Wu Ling'er urged.
"Okay, okay."
Not long after Wu Kou and Duanmu Qingqing left the Wu Mansion, a carriage appeared at the gate of the Wu Mansion accompanied by some mounted escorts, and a young man got off the carriage.
When the steward of the Wu Mansion saw the person coming, he trembled with fright, knelt on the ground, and humbly shouted: "The common people pay homage to Your Majesty."
"Yes." The man nodded and said, "Is General Wu at home?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the young master has just gone out not long ago, otherwise..."
"Do you know where to go?"
"The common people don't know this. I just said that I was going to buy something with Miss Qingqing." The housekeeper kept kneeling on the ground, not daring to face the man directly.
"It's the Lantern Festival, so I'm traveling with my beauty. I just happened to come back from King Wuyou. I heard that the princess was back here, so I stopped by to take a look." The man said with a smile.
"Then your Majesty, please come inside and let the common people send someone to inform the princess. However, the princess has not been in good health recently. I'm afraid..."
"It's okay, take me to see it first. If it's inconvenient, I'll go back to the palace." With that said, the man stepped into the Wu Mansion.
........
In the southeast of the Tang Dynasty, a fast horse was galloping at a high speed. During the process, it passed a river and stopped, looking at the lantern boats on the river. The men and women on the boats were laughing and laughing.
The man on horseback stopped and watched for a while, then said "drive" again, waved the whip in his hand, and walked away, just like the wind in the dark night, coming and going silently.
