Surrounded by a lot of people, Shen Xiurong stuck out her tongue and said: "I am the least able to solve the mystery, Qiqiao, can you?"
Liu Qiqiao shook his head and pointed to the hanging red cloth strips and said: "I can barely understand the words, guessing riddles is impossible!"
Shen Xiurong smiled and said: "Forget it, anyway, we are not here for money, but it would be great if the eldest brother was here, and the eldest brother will guess the riddle finally, these, it must be difficult for him!"
Then he said: "It's all to blame on that Auntie Gao, she was drunk by life, so annoying, now, she must be asleep!"
Liu Qiqiao walked early in the evening, and I didn’t know what happened later. Was it because Shen Yunong was drinking too much? Where is he now and what is he doing? Is it, as Shen Xiurong said, waking up somewhere drunk
After walking through this stage, there is a stage for singing in front of it, and there are many people around. Just after singing a song, on the stage is a clown gagging, amused by the crowd, and bursts of laughter.
"This is so lively!" Lan Xiang was behind, dragging Shen Xiurong's maid Jixiang, said.
Shen Xiurong has two close-fitting maids, one is called Jixiang and the other is Ruyi. Now that Jixiang is following, she can't get through with a pair of eyes. "After moving to the country this year, I thought I would never come to the city again, and I would never see all this again!"
The two of them couldn't help but admired and sighed, following Liu Qiqiao and Shen Xiurong all the way into the deeper part of the bustling city.
It was the first time that Liu Qiqiao saw such a grand occasion of the Shanghai Yuan Festival, and for the first time saw what the real prosperity of the capital was like.
As she watched it, she remembered in her heart the poem Shen Yunong told her, which was similar to what he explained at the time. Now that Liu Qiqiao remembered it, she realized that everything she saw now was what Shen Yunong told her. In those situations, everything seemed to be a re-encounter.
"Qiqiao, Qiqiao, look..." Shen Xiurong pointed to a high platform for Liu Qiqiao, and saw that a song was playing on it.
"Looking at the appearance, it should be an immortal match, let's go and see..." Shen Xiurong pulled Liu Qiqiao into the crowd and squeezed towards the stage.
Lan Xiang and Jixiang were behind, hurriedly catching up, afraid that they would be crowded with them.
I don’t want to be more afraid of something, what’s coming, Lan Xiang and Jixiang just blinked, the two masters in front were gone, and the two of them did not dare to yell, so they had to stand on tiptoes and search in the crowd, just hearing Shen Xiurong. They said they wanted to watch a play, so they followed the stage.
Shen Xiurong and Liu Qiqiao did not see that the people who followed were gone, because they were not given a chance to look back. There were too many people. They seemed to be held by the people around them and walked forward. They naturally stood there with the flow of people. In front of the stage, there were too many people and shoulders shoulder to shoulder. Shen Xiurong watched happily, but Liu Qiqiao was miserable. There was a strong man next to him who didn’t know what he had eaten at night. The smell of garlic made him especially devoted. From time to time, he laughed and drank along with the plot. As soon as he moved, the garlic flavor was passed over. Liu Qiqiao had to squeeze himself towards Shen Xiurong, wishing to get away from this strong man as far as possible.
Finally, when the play came to an end, Shen Xiurong jumped out of the play, only to realize that the two maids had not followed up. She patted Liu Qiqiao and said, "Jixiang they are gone!"
Liu Qiqiao had discovered it a long time ago, and she said to Shen Xiurong, "Now people are walking outside. Let's stand on the stage, where there are few people and bright. If Lanxiang and Jixiang look for us, they will see it at a glance. of!"
Shen Xiurong looked at the place Liu Qiqiao was pointing, and immediately nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's go over!"
Over there was a corner of the stage, with some boxes and cabinets piled up. It was obviously the place where the troupe was leaving. Liu Qiqiao took Shen Xiurong and walked over.
Just after the play, the crowd was walking slowly. Liu Qiqiao and Shen Xiurong stood here, looking towards the outside, and finally showed her Lanxiang. She hurriedly waved and shouted: "Lanxiang, Lanxiang, here we are! "
Lanxiang and Jixiang were upset in the crowd. They didn't know what to do, but suddenly they heard Liu Qiqiao's voice. She looked up and saw that the two people standing on the right side of the stage were their masters, she While busy holding Jixiang, he raised his hands high and shouted: "Seven masters, seven masters!"
It's a bit difficult to walk against the flow of people, but it's slowly coming.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a loud noise and a bang. The people around me stopped moving, and looked at each other. I don’t know what the noise was. At this moment, it suddenly rang again. Screamed.
At this time, someone pointed in the direction of Zhengyang Gate: "Fireworks have begun to be set off on the gate!"
Wow... Suddenly, as if being pulled by an invisible thread, these people began to rush towards Zhengyangmen again.
Lan Xiang and Jixiang, who were about to squeeze to the edge of the stage, were swept away by the crowd again. They shouted to Liu Qiqiao: "Seven masters, seven masters, miss, miss..."
Liu Qiqiao saw that they couldn't squeeze, so he hurriedly shouted: "After watching the fireworks, go back to the back door and wait for us, we are also going back!"
Lan Xiang heard it, and hurriedly nodded to the master, indicating that she understood.
"Okay, let's do it now, we two managed to get rid of them all at once, as if we were going to escape privately!" Shen Xiurong smiled.
When she talked about escaping, Liu Qiqiao was stunned, and suddenly thought of Lin Pingmo, wondering where and what he was doing when he was so happy.
The crowd dispersed a little, and they all went to Zhengyangmen to watch the fireworks. Shen Xiurong and Liu Qiqiao unanimously decided not to join in the excitement. In the mansion, they didn’t look less and didn’t have much interest. They still like to be here again. After a stroll, some people were diverted out. In this long street, it was clearer.
There are still restaurants and restaurants open. Shen Xiurong patted her stomach and said, "We don't eat much at night, so why don't we go upstairs and eat while watching the excitement!"
When she said this, Liu Qiqiao felt that her stomach was really hungry. Only then did she remember that she was with the third aunt and the fourth aunt at night. After hearing them say sour and jealous for so long, she didn't eat much. Something to go.
It’s not far from Yipinju, Liu Qiqiao took Shen Xiurong there. The guys there saw that Liu Qiqiao was a regular customer. When they saw her, they greeted her far away and led her directly. Go upstairs: "Liu Qiye, you haven't been here for a long time, please, please, please go upstairs!"
After entering the private room and sitting down, Liu Qiqiao asked them to make tea first, and then called Shen Xiurong to order food. Seeing the buddy walked away, Shen Xiurong gave Liu Qiqiao a thumbs up: "Okay, Liu Qi Lord, you are inseparable from my eldest brother!"
Liu Qiqiao said shyly: "It's just that they praised me a few more times. I'm just an acquaintance!"
Shen Xiurong said with longing face: "I really envy you, I really want to have such an opportunity, but my mother and my eldest brother said that if I don't show up, I have to ask me to be a young lady. !"
"That's your mother and brother who hurt you!" Liu Qiqiao said. At this time, the guy brought the food up, and she handed the chopsticks to Shen Xiurong: "Come on, let's eat before we go shopping!"
"Hao Le!" Shen Xiurong said with a smile, and then asked: "Would you like to order some wine!"
"Forget it, I don't have enough alcohol. When the time comes, we will all drink too much. Who will send us back?" Liu Qiqiao laughed.
Shen Xiurong stuck her tongue out, she was just talking, and she herself didn't have a little alcohol.
The two had almost eaten, and they could see from the window when they heard someone making noise downstairs.
There was originally a lion dance team passing below.
The line is very long and the dance is good. Behind the line, there are a lot of children and run with them. The person holding the hydrangea in front of them jumps up and down, and the lion at the back follows along, Shen Xiurong smiles. Said: "Let's follow too. The direction is the direction of returning to the house. We have also seen the excitement, and we have eaten enough, so let's go home!"
Liu Qiqiao accepted, settled the bill, and followed the team with Shen Xiurong.
The lion dance team took a lot of people and walked along the long street. Liu Qiqiao and Shen Xiurong followed. Suddenly, a lot of paper floated out of nowhere. People were inexplicable, so they reached out and grabbed them. .
It turned out to be in black and white, clearly written, Shen Xiurong grabbed a piece in her hand, and the eight words on it were "Twelve Princes, the Choice of Destiny!"
It was flying all over the street, and people were picking it up and reading it.
Panicked, Liu Qiqiao also grabbed one in his hand, but he felt that something serious was about to happen.
At this moment, suddenly a group of soldiers rushed over from behind. There was a commander on horseback in front of him. He rushed over on horseback: "Quickly disperse, chase and chase the party, and those who have nothing to do with it, quickly disperse. !"
It was so fast, and it soon came close.
Liu Qiqiao turned around and found that Shen Xiurong was still holding the piece of paper in a daze. She hurriedly shouted: "Miss, run!"
Seeing that the commanding horse was about to hit Shen Xiurong, a figure rushed out from the sideways. The head was huge, but the movement was rapid. Only after he hugged Shen Xiurong and twisted his body a few times, he settled. Down.
The horse rushed over, and the commander drew a whip: "Tell you to get out of the way, a bunch of spooky people, stop the uncle in emergency!"
This team of officers and soldiers rushed over.
