Ning Nuan bought a lot of food at the small stall and shared it with Xiang Tao. After filling her stomach, her eyes fell on those gadgets.
Ning Nuan bought a mask for herself and another for Xiang Tao. After the two put on masks, they were no different from passers-by, and they were dressed in men's clothes, so even if Jiang Yunlan was in front of them, they might not be able to recognize them.
Xiang Tao looked left and right, seeing that even she couldn't help her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that she would accidentally bump into King An. Now it seems that even she can't recognize the young lady, how can King An recognize her.
Xiang Tao was relieved, and couldn't help but keep up with Ning Nuan and integrated into the lively scene of Qingzhou City.
"Young master!" Xiangtao said happily, "Where are we going? Slave... I just heard someone say that there are lantern riddles ahead!"
"Lantern riddle?" Ning Nuan's eyes lit up.
She and Xiang Tao went to the front together with the crowd. Sure enough, she saw several signs hanging in a place, and the rewards for the lantern riddles were also hanging high. I heard that the lanterns were specially made by masters. Each of them is very delicate, and the most exquisite lantern has twelve sides, not only the details are exquisite, but also the picture of the general leading the people of Qingzhou to resist the enemy. Ning Nuan saw it and immediately couldn't take his eyes away .
Xiang Tao's attention was attracted by the stage over there. She was about to pat Ning Nuan to show her, but she saw that Ning Nuan had already walked towards the lantern riddle, and Xiang Tao hurriedly followed.
Chu Fei followed the crowd to the center of Qingzhou City and caught sight of the lantern hanging high.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately pointed at the lantern and said, "Wang Quan, do you think Miss Ning would like that?"
Wang Quan glanced at it from a distance, and then pointed to another smaller eight-sided lantern next to it, painted with flowers of various colors, and said, "Look at the slave, Miss Ning may like this."
Chu Fei shook his head: "You don't understand."
Wang Quan was silent.
He thought to himself: their prince understands
Chu Fei really understood. He had been a husband and wife for the first time in his last life, but he knew Ning Nuan's preferences thoroughly. He didn't like golden hairpins and costumes, and he didn't like interacting with people. It was so sweet, and his favorite was the isolated ancient books in his style room.
He didn't explain much, and immediately went there with great interest, and Wang Quan hurriedly followed.
…
Jiang Yunlan also heard about the liveliness in Qingzhou City.
Knowing the festive days in the city, even the bandits in the cottage couldn't sit still, and they all wanted to run down the mountain. It's just that there can't be even a single person in the cottage, so after the bandits discussed it, a few people came out and walked down the mountain happily together.
These bandits respected Jiang Yunlan very much, and even came over to ask her opinion.
Jiang Yunlan was also a little moved, but the way down the mountain was dark and dangerous, she thought about it, but did not agree.
"The king and the five kings are going." A mountain bandit said, "They have already gone first. It's rare to see Qingzhou so lively. It's a pity to miss it."
"They went?" Jiang Yunlan thought about it and asked, "The two of them went together?"
"Yes."
Jiang Yunlan was overjoyed and hurriedly warned: "Then if you meet the two of them, you have to go far, and don't say hello."
Everyone looked at each other and wondered, but they still responded.
As soon as the people left, Jiang Yunlan closed the door, turned around and said to Chuntao, "I thought Lang'er was stupid, and she couldn't go after her daughter-in-law quickly, so Miss Yang used to dislike Lang'er very much, but now she brings it to her. There is also a bit of Langer in my heart."
"According to Madam's words, is the young master really going to have a marriage in this cottage?"
"Do it here once, and do it again in the capital." Jiang Yunlan smiled: "Before I went out, I even brought some of Lang's daughter-in-law's dowry, and it can be done everywhere."
It took a lot of time to come here. If he can't bring his daughter-in-law back, Ning Yanting still doesn't know how disappointed he is!
It's just that things didn't go so well.
Yang Zhen and Ning Lang followed the flow of people to the place where the riddles were guessed. In the liveliness of Qingzhou City, it was the place with the most people. Ning Lang's eyes were drawn to the martial arts on the stage next to him, but when he turned around, he saw Yang Zhen staring at the tallest lantern with the picture of a twelve-faced general, and he didn't look away for a long time.
Ning Lang said enthusiastically, "Do you want that? I'll go and win it for you."
Yang Zhen retracted his gaze, looked at him, met his gaze, and couldn't help sneering: "Do you still understand this?"
Ning Lang choked.
He scratched his head, not too confident about what was in his stomach.
Anything can be done, only learning him is not enough.
"But Qingzhou is no less than the capital. There are fewer scholars here. I'll try it out, and if I can help you win that lantern?" Ning Lang said, "Don't look at me like this, I'm also a scholar."
Yang Zhen turned sideways and made way for him.
Ning Lang happily went away, and after a while, he came back disheveled.
When he met Yang Zhen's gaze, he touched his nose and said shyly, "This... Qingzhou has more scholars than I thought."
Yang Zhen smiled again, but didn't say anything.
She and Ning Lang stood in front of the stage together, each holding a bag of melon seeds bought from a hawker, squatting while watching the performance on the stage, seeing the martial arts on the stage turn over After a few somersaults, jumping over a few rings of fire, they shouted ok with the crowd.
The performance on this stage has just passed one round, and the melon seeds in his hand are also finished.
Yang Zhen clapped his hands, and was about to call Ning Lang when he turned around, when he saw that the person beside him had disappeared again. Yang Zhen was stunned for a moment, but did not walk away, just waiting in place. Sure enough, after a while, Ning Lang squeezed through the crowd, sweating profusely.
He is carrying a lantern in his hand, not twelve-sided, but the most common four-sided, and the most common kind - because this day is to commemorate the day when the people of Qingzhou worked together to fight the enemy successfully, on the street Most of the lanterns sold are also painted with such patterns. Ning Lang ran several stalls and picked out the best painted one before rushing back.
"I thought you liked it so much, so I went and bought one for you." Ning Lang said, "I'm really not good at guessing the twelve-sided one. If you don't like it, wait for me to find the craftsman who makes lanterns. I'll make you twelve more—no, I'll make you twenty-four."
Yang Zhen laughed: "What do I want twenty-four lanterns for?"
Ning Lang thought for a while, and said solemnly, "It's beautiful."
Yang Zhen reached out and took the lantern in his hand. The candle in the lantern was quietly lit, casting a warm yellow glow on the general picture painted outside. Since it is the most common, the artist who draws the pictures on the lanterns is not very skilled. He only draws a shadowy figure, which is incomparable with the exquisite lantern with twelve sides that is the leader of the lantern riddle. The painting on the twelve-sided lantern, the artist's skills are superb, and the painting is excellent. At a glance, it makes people feel like they are on the battlefield of the year, and their blood is boiling.
She smiled lightly, reached out to take it, and said, "This one looks good too."
