Chapter 119 Lantern
It's just that he was afraid of Song Lanjiu. After all, she was much older than him. He didn't expect that even Lan Xi, who was younger than him, was very obedient.
Lan Xi has always been a cute little sister in front of Zhan Jin. Although she is a little weird, she doesn't feel that she is strong.
It can only be said that Zhan Yu's fear and intimacy towards Lan Xi come from the intuition of a child and a small animal.
Zhan Yu could feel that Lan Xi even disliked him, but he didn't care and even always walked around her involuntarily.
In today's terms, Lan Xi and Song Lanjiu are both people who can easily become the king of children among a group of children, and Zhan Yu just likes to play with such people.
One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Only others will wonder why the young Lan Xi can suppress a prince into submission.
Zhan Jin is such a puzzled bystander.
When Zhan Yu was mentioned, Zhan Xi shook his head helplessly. Ever since this younger brother learned how to leave the palace to find friends to play with, he could hardly stay in the palace for half a day and wanted to run outside all the time.
"Since he wants to go out to the palace to play, it happens to be the Lantern Festival in a few days. There will be a lantern festival outside the palace. At that time, I will take you out to have fun with the people."
"Lantern festival?" Zhan Jin became interested.
"Could this light be turned on at night?"
Zhanxi nodded: "Otherwise, how can we call it a lantern festival? The swaying lights are so beautiful when you look at them at night."
Zhan Jin agreed. She had not left the palace at night yet, and she was looking forward to it.
"Where's the Queen Mother?" Can the Queen Mother allow them to leave the palace at night?
"I went to my mother-in-law and told her to take Yu'er with me so that he wouldn't cry and complain that we left him alone in the palace." Zhan Xi took over the matter.
Zhan Jin chuckled, subconsciously imagining Zhan Yu rolling around in anger.
She nodded, agreeing with her brother's decision.
In this way, Zhan Jin and Zhan Yu decided to watch the Lantern Festival lanterns.
Zhan Jin informed the panicked Zhan Yu of the plan. The latter was naturally overjoyed and did not bother her in Zhan Jin's palace for the next few days.
Time flies by and today is the Lantern Festival.
The stars are setting in the Han Dynasty, and the moon is hanging by the building.
After having dinner early, Liu Shuhuan couldn't wait to take his brother to the Song family home.
"Lan Xi, are you ready? Let's set off soon."
When she came to the Song family, Liu Shuhuan had already gradually felt the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival.
At this time, the sky is about to get dark. The streets and alleys that used to be quiet and lonely are now full of pedestrians walking and laughing. There are more lanterns hanging at the door of every house than usual. The entire capital has already prepared for the festival.
"It'll be ready soon, just wait for me!" Lan Xi finally checked whether she and Bai Zhi and Bai Xue had enough silver, copper coins, etc., and hid them carefully.
How can you go out to play during the holidays without spending money? What's the point of just watching?
"Let's go!" Lan Xi patted her stuffed money bag that was hidden in an inconspicuous part of her body with satisfaction, and said to the impatient Liu Shuhuan.
"Let's go!" Liu Shuhuan pulled Lan Xi and ran out.
Song Lanzhang and the others were not as timid as Lan Xi. As early as after Liu Shuhuan's brother and sister came to the door, Song Lanzhang and the others came to the gate to chat with Liu Zhanyu. They only waited for the two little girls to be ready before they could set off.
Lan Xi and Liu Shuhuan ran out holding hands, followed by Bai Zhi, Bai Xue and Xiao Ling who had no choice but to run in the same direction.
"Eldest brother, second sister, third brother, first cousin, and cousin Jiang, have you been waiting for us?" After Lan Xi stopped, he called everyone at the door one by one.
"I'll wait for you. Okay, let's set off now." The cousin immediately spoke and set off. He was the oldest, so he became the leader of the light-watching team without hesitation.
Because there were so many people outside today, a few people gave up riding the carriage as a means of transportation and decided to walk to the most prosperous shopping street in Dongcheng.
Several people were protected by a group of government guards. They slowly walked out of this residential area full of high-gate courtyards and crossed a small bridge. After that, the flow of people around them increased.
"There will be a huge crowd on the street today. Let's be careful not to scatter."
Liu Zhanyu gave one final warning, and with a solemn face, he told the palace guards to watch over the young masters and ladies carefully and not to make any mistakes.
The guards of the palace received the order in a deep voice, and each of them opened their eyes, wishing they could sew their eyeballs on the bodies of several young masters to feel at ease.
Lan Xi didn't say anything, and obediently held the beautiful and weak second sister Song Lanshu with one hand, and tightly held Liu Shuhuan, who was even more noisy than her, with the other hand.
She wasn't worried about anyone else. She was just worried that her second sister would be chased away by others, and that Liu Shuhuan would not be found if she rushed into the crowd like a fool and couldn't find her.
"Lan Xi, you scratched my hand and it hurts!"
Liu Shuhuan frowned and said, she wanted to take her hand out, but she was worried that she would hurt the other person if she used too much force, so she could only hold her hand tightly without daring to move.
She thought Lan Xi was a little scared of the people on the street, so she comforted her: "Don't be too nervous, I will definitely protect you!"
Lan Xi was speechless, she was nervous, but she was nervous that you, a girl like you, was running around without letting go.
"Yeah, I'm so scared. You must follow me closely to protect me later. You must not run around, you know?"
Liu Shuhuan raised his little head and confirmed happily: "Don't worry, I've got it covered!"
Lan Xi shook her head, feeling helpless towards this neurotic good friend.
But thinking about Liu Shuhuan's naturally powerful force, Lan Xi felt that she really didn't need to worry too much.
As long as this girl doesn't get knocked down and trampled on, if she really encounters some bad guy, who knows who will be taught a lesson in the end.
Liu Shuhuan didn't care what his friend thought, and looked around. After a few people walked around an alley, his eyes suddenly opened up, and the hustle and bustle of the entire busy city suddenly came to his face.
They came out early. Although people were coming and going on the street at this time, it was not crowded yet. However, the surrounding shops were already filled with strings of various lanterns, which were being carried by the cold winter wind.
Shaking.
"There are so many lanterns!" Liu Shuhuan jumped up and down happily.
Lan Xi also looked around with interest and nodded after hearing this.
"These are ordinary lanterns. The really beautiful lanterns haven't been hung up yet."
An old man who was dressed quite richly was leading his young grandchildren as they passed by. Seeing that these boys and girls were also bringing their younger brothers and sisters out to watch the lanterns, he couldn't help but explain.
Liu Zhanyu noticed that this old man should have a good family, but he took his grandson out to watch the lights alone, so he asked:
"Old man, why don't you bring a few servants with you when you come out? The road will be filled with water later. What should you do if you and your grandson get hit?"
