Lose the lights and spend another night

After that night, Yingsheng and the lord finally spoke, and the Shen residence also returned to its former calm.

The winter in Lin'an passed quickly this year, and the spring rain came quietly not long after the snow melted.Yingsheng passed her No.14 birthday, and the adults asked her what gift she wanted the most. Yingsheng said that she wanted to go out to see the lantern festival again.

The adult smiled and agreed to Yingsheng, but there is no lantern festival in West Lake on weekdays.

This waited for several months.

Yingsheng finally looked forward to Qixi Festival, a good day when ladies from all families can go out.

It's just that this year's Yingsheng is a little bit special.

Madam said, Ying Sheng is about to reach the age of Ji, and she can no longer show her face like this, and it is not impossible to go out if she has to, and she must wear a veil like other girls of age.

Although Yingsheng felt very uncomfortable, but in order to go out to see the Lantern Festival, she had to obediently agree to his wife.

Finally, at dusk, Yingsheng bid farewell to his lord and his wife excitedly, took me and a few servants and left the mansion in a carriage, heading straight for the Baidi of West Lake.

Not long after Yingsheng and I left, a carriage arrived at Shen's residence.

The one who got off the carriage was none other than Cao Feng, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment who had been back to Bianjing for a long time.

The servants of Shen's mansion knew this modest gentleman, and seeing who it was, they greeted him with a smile, and bowed respectfully, "Lord Cao, why are you here?"

Cao Feng said with a smile: "This time I have a business to deal with in An'an, so I stopped by to catch up with Mr. Shen." After speaking, he paused and asked, "I don't know...is it a bit abrupt?"

The servants are all clever people, so they naturally understand that Cao Feng's purpose is not just to reminisce about the old days, but also somewhat related to the eldest lady.

"How could it be? Last year, my lord told us to be polite when I saw Mrs. Cao, but..." the servants reminded, "Miss just left not long ago..."

"Oh?" Cao Feng thought for a while, but he had forgotten that today is Qixi Festival, so he smiled lightly, "Then...let's visit Master Shen again tomorrow."

The servants looked at each other and smiled, they naturally understood the meaning of Cao Feng's words, and immediately bowed respectfully, "Lord Cao, go slowly."

"En." Cao Feng smiled slightly, got into the carriage again, and the moment he lowered the curtain, he told the driver, "Go to Baidi."

"Yes, my lord." The coachman smiled knowingly, and drove the carriage to Baidi.

After the two servants watched Cao Feng go away, they couldn't help whispering.

"Our eldest lady is afraid that Hong Luan's star is moving."

"Isn't it? Mr. Cao is such a humble gentleman, the eldest lady is really blessed."

"Next year we will have wedding wine."

"Hey, that's right, don't tell me, I've been hungry for a long time!"

"What are you talking about?" Madam's voice sounded behind the two of them. They stood up straight in shock, turned their heads, and bowed respectfully to Madam.

"I have seen Mrs."

Madam swept them coldly, "I'm asking you something."

The two glanced at each other, and the bolder one replied: "The young one knows his mistake, he shouldn't talk about the young lady behind her back."

"What are you talking about Sheng'er?" Madam asked again in displeasure.

The timid one said in a low voice: "Just now... Mr. Cao came here just now, and when he knew that the eldest lady was going to the Lantern Festival, he... left..."

"Go to the Lantern Festival too?" Madam asked coldly.

The two nodded heavily.

Madam sighed softly, glanced at the sky, and said, "Get ready for the carriage."

"Where is madam going?"

"Did your servants ask these questions?"

Madam gave them a cold look, turned around and walked back to the mansion.

"Tata...Tata...Tata...Tata..." The closer the carriage got to Baidi, the speed gradually slowed down. Before the most lively time of the Lantern Festival, Baidi had already arrived. The boudoir woman who arrived.

After staying in the mansion for a long time, after going out for a walk, I really feel refreshed.

I put down the car curtain, and I felt happy, and the smile on my face was much warmer than usual.

Yingsheng looked at me and smiled, "Huanxi, I haven't seen you smile like this for a long, long time."

I shook my head, took her hand, and wrote slowly in her palm—nonsense.

Yingsheng grinned lightly, with a snow veil covering her face, she only looked at half of her face, not much childishness left, "I'm not talking nonsense! If I knew Huanxi was so happy, I should have asked my father to allow me to come out earlier. "

I smiled and bowed my head, and wrote again—after Jiji, you can’t just come out casually.

Yingsheng looked at me in astonishment, "Why? I'm already an adult, so I'm not allowed to come out?"

Adults have adult rules.

I have to tell Yingsheng that some things are more involuntary the bigger they are.

Yingsheng took my hand in displeasure, and leaned on my shoulder, "Huanxi, I suddenly don't want to grow up."

nonsense.

I shook my head again, and wrote gently in her palm - time waits for no one, you will grow up, I will grow old, no one can stop.

"I don't!" Ying Sheng held my hand tightly, shaking her head firmly, "You are not old!"

I will soon be an old girl of thirty, how can I not grow old?When I combed my hair yesterday, I noticed that my hair was starting to grow gray.

Yingsheng shook his head, raised his hand to stroke my temple hair, "Huanxi, you promised me that you won't grow old so fast, you have to work hard and live up to it!"

how do i tryHow to live up to it?

I looked at Yingsheng with a smile and grabbed her hand. There are some words that only she will understand when she is older.

Some promises are not not kept, but cannot be fulfilled.

I never break my promise to Yingsheng, but I really can't keep this promise.

Yingsheng sighed lightly, then smiled suddenly: "I have a solution!"

I raised my eyebrows slightly and looked at her in bewilderment.

Yingsheng nodded and smiled, "If you have gray hair, then I'll use the best pine smoke ink to paint you black."

Ah……

I couldn't help but nodded, if I don't follow Ying Sheng again, I'm afraid she will say some ridiculous nonsense again.

Yingsheng hugged me joyfully, snuggled into my arms, and said with a smile: "Huanxi, you still owe me a lamp."

Yes, I still owe Yingsheng a lamp.

I nodded and slowly wrote on the back of her hand——I will send you a lamp in the evening.

"It's ugly, I don't want it!" Ying Sheng pouted slightly.

I laughed dumbfounded and nodded.

"Uh-Miss, Baidi is here." Hearing the coachman's voice from outside, the carriage had already stopped at the south entrance of Baidi.

Two servants walked to the front of the car curtain and helped Yingsheng lift the car curtain, "Miss, you can come down now."

"it is good."

Ying Sheng nodded, and walked down holding the corner of her skirt.

"Whose family's young lady is that?" On the Baidi, someone asked, and many people looked towards this side.

There were also two lanterns with the word "Shen" hanging on the carriage. In Lin'an City, the most famous Shen family was the mansion of the prefect Shen Mu.

Maybe it's because Yingsheng's deeds of guessing lantern riddles last year were widely known, and a few sharp-eyed young masters recognized Yingsheng at a glance.

"It's the daughter of Mr. Shen's family."

"Could it be that...Miss Shen?"

"People are becoming more and more succulent."

"Isn't it?"

Yingsheng felt that the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable, so she quickly tugged at my sleeves, hid behind me, and whispered: "Huanxi, look, there is no difference between me wearing a veil and not wearing it, and I can still be recognized the same It's over." After speaking, he was about to take off the veil on his face.

I quickly pressed her hand and shook my head seriously.

This is the rule, I can't let Ying Sheng Hu do it.

After all, a veil is better than nothing.

Yingsheng had no choice but to lean on me, pointing to the busiest place in Baidi, and said with a smile: "Huanxi, let's go, let's go and see, is the lantern stall owner from last year still around?"

I smiled and nodded.

Four servants protected us from front to back, left and right, so that we could walk to the most crowded place with peace of mind.

Several young men wanted to come over to get acquainted with Yingsheng, but they were all stopped by the servants.

Yingsheng looked at it and secretly smiled, tugged at my sleeve again, and said in a low voice: "Huanxi, look, how aggrieved they look, hahaha."

I smiled lightly, and finally my eyes fell on the familiar figure in the group of teenagers—Master Biao? !

He took half a step forward hesitantly, then backed away, his eyes fixed on Yingsheng, he didn't want to miss a moment.

I subconsciously stopped Yingsheng behind me, raised my eyebrows and glared at Bai Zhongyu.

He glared at me angrily.

Yingsheng noticed my actions, followed my line of sight, and saw that idiot, she couldn't help but give Bai Zhongyu a blank look, and told the servant: "You guys pay close attention to me, don't let that idiot get close Me!" After speaking, he pointed at Bai Zhongyu.

"Yes, Miss!"

The boy nodded, and saw Bai Zhongyu in the direction Yingsheng was pointing at.

"Brother Bai, how did you provoke your cousin?" The young master next to Bai Zhongyu asked jokingly, shaking his fan.

"Are all the rumors true? Is it true that your Bai family broke up with the Shen family?" Another young master asked again.

Bai Zhongyu gave an elbow viciously, and said coldly: "I want you to take care of my young master's affairs! Get out!"

"Get out! Get out! With your young master's temper, if Miss Shen married you, she would really suffer."

"roll!"

Bai Zhongyu roared again.

The two fan shakers snorted coldly, and decisively moved away from Bai Zhongyu.

Yingsheng didn't want to spoil the interest of watching the lanterns because of Young Master Biao, and I didn't want to lose this night of watching the lanterns with Yingsheng, so Yingsheng quickened his pace, and I also quickened my pace, and soon I left Master Biao behind. far behind.

"Come on, come on, last time it was said that the young master lost his soul to Liu Siniang, the oiran at the bank of the West Lake..." Suddenly, hearing a shout from the crowd, Ying Sheng became interested and pointed over there.

"Huanxi, let's go take a look over there!"

After finishing speaking, Yingsheng dragged me over, and led me into the crowd without waiting for the boy to help us clear the way.

"It's a shadow puppet show!" Yingsheng exclaimed excitedly, but I could only cough twice to signal her not to get too excited.

"It seems like I haven't played this game for a long time." Ying Sheng restrained himself and said in a low voice.

I nodded with a smile, indeed.

Yingsheng took my hand quietly, and suddenly wrote in my palm carefully - go back and play with me, okay?

How could I refuse Yingsheng's request?

I curled up my little finger and replied to her palm—OK.
