He Yan walked to Xiao Jue, Xiao Jue glanced over her, and then frowned slightly, "Why do you wear so thin?"

"It's too hot." He Yan knocked down his teeth and swallowed his blood. He cursed Chi Wu with **** head in his heart. He had to pretend to be nonchalant, and said with a fan: "I don't know why, I always feel something It’s hot."

Xiao Jue was about to take off his cloak, but He Yan quickly stopped him with his eyes and hands. "It's really not necessary. If I feel cold, I can just go back and get a piece of clothing. The reason why I wear this is because it's too hot. You don't have it. Have you ever heard Lin Shuanghe talk about it? Sometimes people feel hot. At this time, the clothes are too heavy, but they can't dispel the stuffiness in the body and get sick easily." She babbled casually.

Xiao Jue stared at her suspiciously.

He Yan grabbed his arm and said, "Okay, don't worry about what I wear. Let's go to Dongshi first. I'm afraid I will miss the wonderful place when I'm late."

In the city of Shuojing, commerce and trade are prosperous in Fangshi, which are divided into East City, West City, South City and North City according to their directions. The most prosperous one is the East Market near the Chenghuang Temple.

East city is divided into December city, first month lantern city, February flower market, March silkworm city, April Jin city, May fan city, June incense city, July treasure city, August laurel city, September Yueyao City, October Wine Market, November Mei City, December Taofu City.

At this time, it was the end of November. At the beginning of December, the Meishi market had closed, and only three or two stall owners were still selling piles of red plums. Taofu market had begun, and there were stalls everywhere. Spring couplets. Everywhere, I saw people watching, cheering and applauding, or exclaiming and applauding constantly, which was extremely lively.

Because the new year is about to close, the light market has also begun to release lights. The streets are full of bright lights, endless changes, crowds of people, and very festive.

He Yan followed Xiao Jue to the entrance of the East City, already feeling that the crowd was bustling.

"It's too lively." She looked up at the colorful lights hanging on her head and couldn't help exclaiming, "This is my first time visiting the night market."

"The first time?" Xiao Jue looked sideways at her.

He Yan nodded, "Yeah, I couldn't come to a place with a lot of people before, so as not to expose flaws. When the juniors of the He family went to the night market together, I was very envious. I was in Jiyang City before. At the time, I felt that the night market in Jiyang City was fun and tight, but I didn’t expect that the night market in Shuojing City was not bad either. It’s so beautiful!"

She has eyes full of excitement and joy. She has lived for two lifetimes, but now she is as happy as a child. The night market is not a place that can only be visited by high-ranking families. Ordinary people can come here for fun, but this is the first time for this person.

Many things that ordinary people take for granted are forbidden by her.

The young man looked at the girl beside him, his eyes were gentle and pitying. The next moment, He Yan had already pulled his sleeve and squeezed in front of a sugar seller.

"Sugar Man!" He Yan said happily, "I still remember that I couldn't go to the night market when I was a child. I couldn't be greedy. In the end, I asked my aunt to buy one for me when I went to the night market. I couldn't bear to eat it. Put it in the pen holder, and the finalized ones are everywhere." She looked back at Xiao Jue, "Xiao Jue, do you want to eat, I will buy one for you? What do you want? Is this unicorn good-looking? Or? Do you like Phoenix better?"

Xiao Jue glanced at the various sugar people stuck in the haystack, "No."

"Why not?" He Yan was very proud, "I have silver, I will buy it for you."

Xiao Jue moved his gaze from the sugar man to her face, his tone was light, "There is no flower basket."

"Flower...basket?" He Yan was inexplicably, "Do you like flower baskets?"

His tone was as calm as ever, but he was calm again, with a subtle subtlety, "Did you give Chu Zilan a brown sugar flower basket in Jiyang City?"

"How do you know?" He Yan was horrified.

"I just knew it." The man raised his eyebrows slightly and turned and walked forward. He Yan hurriedly followed, and now he also recalled, Xiao Jue's tone of words, why did he sound a little uncomfortable.

Well, Young Master Xiao Er may be particularly concerned about sending him something against him.

"...he gave me a tassel at the time," He Yan clutched his sleeve tightly so as not to lose himself in the crowded crowd, and flattered his loyalty: "I also feel shorthanded. He must not owe favors before giving him a flower basket. You know that the favors in the world are the worst in the world to pay back. My relationship with you is not so much, we don’t need to be so clear. Don’t be angry, both. What about Chen Zhizhi’s rotten millet is still in my heart, Master Xiao has a lot of them, don’t worry about these trivial matters with the little girls, Dudu Xiao, the second son...Little Master?"

Xiao Jue seemed to be entangled and impatient, turning his head, his face was serious, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

He Yan saw that he didn't care about that much earlier, and saw that there was a Yangchun noodle seller on the side of the street, so he dragged him to the other side, "Today you have a birthday, you should eat a bowl of longevity noodles. Come on. Come on, I invite you!"

The noodle seller was a couple. They set up an iron pot on the side of the street. The pot was boiling with water. The shau Kei on one side was filled with flour, and there was a pot of salt and vinegar on the small table. A few more tables and low stools are set up on both sides, which is the shop.

He Yan asked Xiao Jue to sit down first, and ran to the boss’s wife and smiled: "A bowl of noodles." After a pause, he said, "Today is the birthday of this young man," she secretly pointed to Xiao Jue. , "Please make this bowl of noodles beautiful, the lady boss, put an egg, more greens, and more braised pork... Well, it’s good if you have chicken legs..."

"Enough, enough, girl," the boss on the side laughed: "No matter how many bowls there are, I won't fit the bowl."

"Oh," He Yan nodded, "Let's do this first."

The lady boss smiled while meeting each other: "The sitting son is the girl's lover, he is really handsome."

He Yan blushed and did not dare to speak.

The proprietress probably didn’t know Xiao Jue, she was simply confused by Xiao Jue’s beauty, "The slave family has been selling noodles here for so long, and this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful young master. Since she is a lover, it’s better to Order a bowl of Lantern Festival, sesame stuffing, two people eat a bowl of Lantern Festival at the Lantern Market, and they will be lovers for the rest of their lives."

"No need," He Yan smiled, "This young master doesn't eat sweets."

"It's such a pity." The lady boss still smiled, and didn't persuade me much.

He Yan is about to walk towards Xiao Jue. After taking two steps, he turns around and rushes to the lady boss, "Well... let's have a bowl."

The lady boss smiled: "Good!"

When the shou noodles were delivered, Xiao Jue stared at the bowl in front of him, silent for a moment, "He Yan, are you feeding the pigs?"

The noodle bowl is not big, but it is full of dangdang noodles. On it lies an egg, green leaves, and a few large pieces of stewed meat. It is very rich, just look, it is about to overflow from the bowl. NS. The bowls of the people next to him were ordinary clear water noodles, but the one in front of Xiao Jue was exceptionally different.

"You eat more," He Yan took the chopsticks to him, "Since it's your birthday, of course you can't just spend it casually. I specially asked the lady boss to put it for you. I'll treat you. You are welcome."

The eyes of the people all around fell on their table. For the first time in his life, Xiao Jue was stared at with the eyes of a rice bucket, but the girl in front of him put her cheeks in her hands and smiled extremely sincerely, and she held back for a moment. , He finally took up the chopsticks resignedly and picked up the shou noodles in front of him.

He Yan is very satisfied, "Remember to eat up."

Xiao Jue's chopsticks shook, trying to keep his face calm.

At this time, the proprietress’s Lantern Festival came up too. One Yuan Xiao Yuanxiao, exactly nine, was served in a porcelain bowl with a red background, which was particularly pleasing. The proprietress didn't know if it was intentional, she only gave her a spoon, and He Yan lowered her head and scooped one into her mouth. The sesame filling was especially sweet.

It was extremely cold when I came out, but the night market was lively and the crowd was crowded, which dispelled the coldness a lot. At this moment, the hot soup in front of him was warm and the Lantern Festival was sweet. The people sitting opposite were eating noodles quietly. Suddenly, He Yan felt a sense of well-being.

Those days full of danger, conspiracy, calculations, and swordsmanship have become far away in a trance, and it seems that the peaceful days like this can continue for a long time from now on.

She lowered her head and smiled, picked up the spoon and obediently scooped the Yuanxiao in front of her to eat.

A bowl of Yuanxiao and a bowl of longevity noodles are very slow to eat.

Perhaps He Yan’s "hospitality is hard to behave", or perhaps because of the good craftsmanship of the proprietress, Xiao Jue finally ate a bowl of noodles. When he put down his chopsticks, He Yan was finishing the eighth bowl. Yuanxiao.

As I was about to pick up the ninth one, I suddenly remembered what the boss's wife had just said.

"Two people eat a bowl of Lantern Festival in the Lantern Market, and they will be lovers all their lives."

For her entire life, she has never felt that this term is far away, but she did not know when she started, but she also had longings and expectations.

Xiao Jue saw the hesitation of her movements and asked: "What's the matter?"

He Yan gently pushed the red-bottomed porcelain bowl in the middle, raised his head, looked at Xiao Jue's eyes, and coughed slightly, "Do you...do you want to eat one too?"

Xiao Jue looked down at the bowl of soup with only one Yuanxiao left, and did not speak.

He Yan feels a little guilty for some reason, and suddenly feels like a demon who seduces a girl from the Liang family, and adds: "I remember that you don't like sweets anymore... or it is..."

Xiao Jue smiled, didn't say anything, took the bowl, picked up the spoon that He Yan had used just now, and ate the rest of the Lantern Festival.

The lady boss was tidying up the dishes and chopsticks at the table next door, and smiled when she saw it, "Okay, the two have a bowl of Yuanxiao, sweet and sweet, and a happy marriage."

He Yan was startled and looked at Xiao Jue subconsciously. The young man stared at her with beautiful eyes, as if he had caught a glimpse of her secret thoughts.

He Yan stood up and took out a few copper plates from his pocket, "Well, we're done, let's go."

Fleeing away.

When I was full, I went to the night market and my body became much warmer. When He Yan and Xiao Jue walked to one place, they found a lot of people in front of them. He Yan casually asked a little brother beside him: "Excuse me, what are you doing in front of me?"

The man glanced at He Yan and said, "I'm guessing a lantern riddle. Today is the last day. If the girl wants to go and can catch up, the more she guesses, she may take away the most beautiful peacock lantern. !"

We are all here to visit the night market. Naturally, we have to get together for the excitement. He Yan pulled Xiao Jue into the crowd with one hand. When he got in, he saw a long corridor with various colors hanging on the eaves. Such a lantern, with a piece of paper hanging under the lantern, with words written on it, it is a riddle. Most of the people who come here are lovers of men and women. Some people have guessed a lot, and they already hold a few lamps in their hands. He Yan looked at it, eager to try, and asked Xiao Jue: "Do you have a lantern you like? I'll help you win one."

Xiao Jue looked down at her: "You help me?"

"Of course, it's not your birthday today. I will buy you everything you want. What is winning a lantern? Anyway, I also studied at Hyunchang Hall."

Xiao Jue smiled, and was about to speak, suddenly, not far away, someone called him: "Xiao Huaijin!"

He Yan looked back and saw that under the corridor, a pair of men and women were walking towards them. It was Yan He and Xia Chengxiu.

The two of them wore goose-yellow goose jackets and skirts at the same time today, which matched them very well. Yanhe is still the same, never looking at people with his straight eyes, and when he walks, the pony tail flutters the old Gao. When he walked in front of him, before He Yan could speak, Yan He said to Xiao Jue: "Oh, rare guest, I didn't expect that one day I will see Xiao Huaijin coming to visit the night market."

Compared with Yan He's rudeness, Xia Chengxiu is much gentler, just watching He Yan and Xiao Jue smile and say: "Girl He, Governor Xiao."

He Yan returned the gift: "Ms. Chengxiu."

Yan He finally saw He Yan next to Xiao Jue, took a look at the two of them, and showed an expression of disgust, "Xiao Huaijin, don't you mean to accompany this kid on purpose...this guy is here to visit the night market? Yes." He stroked his arm in a gesture, "It's disgusting, goose bumps all over!"

He Yan: "..." Where does this person come from, saying that someone else, isn't he also accompanying his wife to the night market?

Xia Chengxiu pulled Yan He, and Yan He yelled: "What's the matter? I was right."

"Sorry," Xia Chengxiu smiled at He Yan, "Nan Guang is just that temperament, he is a joke, and has no malice. Girl He, are you guys guessing lantern riddles?"

He Yan nodded: "Yes. Just passing by here, General Yan is also guessing lantern riddles?"

"Women's favorite stuff, I don't guess." Yan He said: "I came with Chengxiu." His eyes fell on Xiao Jue, "Xiao Huaijin, you..."

"He didn't guess, he came with me." He Yan quickly cut off his words. Yan He, once met Xiao Jue, became a cockfight, and he insisted on competing. If Xiao Jue wants to guess, which arouses Yan He's eagerness to win, don't visit any night markets tonight. It's better for the two of them to try guessing here.

In order to be able to go to other places next, He Yan decisively stopped.

"Okay." Yan He hugged his chest and said: "Then you guys have a guess."

He Yan and Xia Chengxiu looked at each other. Xia Chengxiu smiled slightly and took a note from the front lantern below. He Yan followed her movements and looked at the lantern beside her.

The writing of this lantern riddle is simple. "Mountains and mountains have lovesickness." He Yan knows the words, but they don't know what they mean.

On the other end, Xia Chengxiu had already got the note and read it out: "Parting from Jun." She thought for a moment, and looked at the boss: "This is'Jing'?"

"The girl has good eyesight." The lamp craftsman laughed and gave Xia Chengxiu a wooden sign with a red stroke on it.

It seems that if you gather ten pens together, you can replace one of the lanterns here.

He Yan took a deep breath, and felt that the riddle he had chosen was not right, so he might as well change to a simpler one. Thinking about it, he walked to a lotus-shaped lantern again, picked it up and hung it underneath. Note.

"No winter, no summer."

He Yan: "..." What is this?

She looked sideways and glanced at Xiao Jue. Xiao Jue was standing not far away, looking at her in time. He Yan didn't want to be embarrassed, so he coughed and walked to another place.

"The fog lost the building, the moon was lost in the sky."

He Yan: "?"

She was about to cry, and she just boasted that she had studied in Xianchang Hall somehow, and now she feels that this book is not as good as she hadn't read it. What are these things? We all know the words, and it's confusing how to put them together. Looking at the women who were guessing like a fish, He Yan was the first and two big, and only felt that even if it was the hardest battle to fight, it was not as embarrassing as the moment.

When I was at a loss while holding the note in front of me, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Don't you want to send me a lantern?"

I don't know when, Xiao Jue has already walked over, standing behind her, He Yan "hmm" for a while, and has nothing to say.

The corners of his lips bend, "It seems that your poems and essays have not been lean for so many years."

"There is a specialization in the art industry," He Yan bit his scalp to defend, "I can't do two things with one heart."

He seemed to chuckle, and the heat he exhaled fell on He Yan's neck, itchy. On that end, Xia Chengxiu had already guessed ten lantern riddles in the blink of an eye. The craftsman drew ten ink characters on her wooden sign and replaced it with a jade rabbit lantern.

Yan He held the lantern in his arms and said triumphantly: "Why haven't you guessed it? You haven't studied before? Xiao Huaijin," he held Xia Chengxiu in one hand, and he was still provocative. Xiao Jue, "The lady you are looking for is not as good as my wife."

Yanhe is sick, right? He Yan was speechless. He was thinking that the others were no better than Xiao Jue anyway, so he was better than his wife, right? Who has no strengths and weaknesses, how can it be so superficial!

She was scolding Yanhe in her heart, and Xiao Jue whispered in her ear: "Don't worry about him." Then, standing behind her, following her movements, she picked up the lantern riddle note in front of He Yan. .

Xiao Jue is very tall. When taking a note from behind, he needs to lean slightly and look at it from the eyes of others, as if he is holding He Yan in his arms. He Yan could almost feel the warmth of his back touching his chest, and the tips of his ears were red, but he forgot to look at the note in front of him again. Xiao Jue had already spoken: "There is nowhere to be seen."

"Huh?" He Yan was taken aback for a moment.

The craftsman laughed and came over with a wooden plate: "The son is right!"

"Xiao Huaijin, you are cheating." Yan He angrily said: "How can you help her guess!"

"What's up with you," He Yan couldn't bear it, and replied at him: "If you are not happy, you can also guess for me!"

"Who wants to help you guess!" Yan He flicked his sleeves, "Walk around, I'll be upset when I see them!" He took Xia Chengxiu's hand and walked away.

At this moment, He Yan finally has time to gather his thoughts on the lantern riddles in front of him.

She pulled the note in front and read the words on it, and Xiao Jue said the answer at the back.

"Since ancient times, love and hate."

"My heart is long and melancholy."

"Go in once every tenth and go to three."

"Battle."

This person used to be the number one in Xianchang Hall. When He Yan read out the riddle above, he didn't even think about it, he just said the answer in one mouthful. Xiao Jue is a handsome, smart and handsome young man who always stands out on such occasions. Not too often, the girls' homes with lovers and unloved men are all in a circle, or staring at Xiao Jue drunkly, or It was an enviable look at He Yan.

Nine lantern riddles were almost finished, and He Yan picked up the note of the last lantern.

"Shuangmufeilin, Tianxia has the heart." After she finished reading, she didn't wait for Xiao Jue to speak, and said: "I know this, it's lovesickness!"

The craftsman laughed: "Girl Huizhi Lanxin."

He Yan blushed at the compliment, and he guessed one of ten lantern riddles. He really couldn't afford the compliment. The one behind Huizhi Lan's heart was the one behind her. The craftsman drew the last stroke of her wooden sign and said to He Yan: "Girl, go pick a lantern that you like!"

He Yan turned his head and pulled Xiao Jue and said, "Well, when I said I would give you a lantern, I will definitely give you. Which one do you like?"

There are various kinds of lanterns hanging under the eaves.

He Yan pointed to a Pisces-shaped lamp: "This Pisces is pretty, do you like this? Or this gourd lamp is also good... There is also a horse riding picture on this auspicious lamp..."

From beginning to end, Xiao Jue just smiled faintly, letting her make a fuss.

He Yan saw a green gauze lantern on the side with a painting of landscape and pavilions. As people walked around, the light and shadow changed, and the waterfall seemed to be gurgling and flowing, which was very peculiar. Among the many lanterns, this landscape lantern can look down upon it at first glance, but in fact there is something in it. He Yan was fascinated at a glance, thinking that if this lamp was given to Xiao Jue, he should not be ashamed, so he said to the craftsman: "I want this one."

The craftsman was busy handing out wooden signs to another pair of lovers, and he said: "The girl is just fine."

He Yan said to Xiao Jue: "Wait, I will get you the lamp."

She walked to the landscape lantern and was about to take it off. At this time, she heard a familiar voice not far away: "There is a lantern riddle in front, do you want to check it out?"

Immediately afterwards, a woman's voice sounded, "Okay, you can buy one to hang in the yard later."

He Yan turned his head and saw a couple of men and women walking a few steps away. The man is handsome and elegant, and the woman is charming and charming. It is Xu Zhiheng and He Xinying.

Xu Zhiheng was holding He Xinying's hand, and the maid behind He Xinying carried a large stack of gadgets in her arms, probably the rouge gouache she bought when she was visiting the night market. From the looks of them, these two people are really a perfect couple. Xu Zhiheng smiles and spoils them, and when they speak, they are gentle and drizzle.

He Yan stared blankly, wondering if it was ironic in her heart. She originally thought that Xu Zhiheng would only accompany He Wanru to the night market in this life. Now it seems that anyone can do it as long as it is not herself.

"Girl?" Seeing her standing on the spot, the craftsman reminded him strangely. He Yan turned his head, shocked, and looked at Xiao Jue subconsciously.

He also stood under the lamp, with a handsome figure, his eyes calm and almost indifferent.
