Chapter six hundred and twenty-one

Although the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has not yet arrived, many lantern buildings have been built in Jinling City. Even though they are not as colorful as later generations, they only have one color. However, against the backdrop of colorful papers of various colors, they still present all kinds of intoxicating fantasy colors in the night. In this annual carnival, most people are excited, but not Yue Qianqiu.

Originally, Yue Qianqiu's interest was not bad. This can be seen from the fact that he still had Yaxing promised Jin Cancan's request today and took the person to Xiao Jingxian to see Pei Baoer. However, Xiao Jingxian's words destroyed his good mood completely. Even if the lamp building he promised was about to be placed on the street tomorrow, it would not be able to relieve his depression.

The streets were rare in the past and even rare in the night. At this moment, all of them were wandering outside in groups. The timid ones were accompanied by their father and brother, but the brave ones were just a group of girls traveling, and the men who were boldly greeted each other. After leaving the Jin Palace, Yue Qianqiu was riding a horse and walked away absent-mindedly, but not long after, several silk flowers were smashed in his arms.

When he came to his senses, he immediately looked around and saw the girls giggling and playing and running away, but he was a little bold in looking at him. There were even more bold young women who smiled and cheered: "Young young man, during the Chinese New Year, hurry up and take this great opportunity to choose a good wife to go back. Someone will watch the lights together next year!"

He was actually teased!

After Yue Qianqiu had this experience, he was so angry and funny. Although he was a domineering Jinling in the past, he didn't know him until everyone in the city knew him. This was the case at this moment. He smiled and said with a smile: "I already have three wives and four concubines in my family. If any girl is willing to enter my house, I certainly welcome him."

As soon as these words came out, the girls who were shy and flirting at him just now suddenly changed their expressions. Some people scolded the big radish in their hearts, some stomped their feet and walked quickly, and some people put their hands on their hips and shouted, "Is I a concubine?" In short, in an instant, whether it was a girl who showed her admiration or a young wife who watched the fun, they dispersed completely, and the quick change of face made people sigh.

Yue Qianqiu shook his head in a pretense and sighed, but immediately afterwards, he heard a sneer coming from behind: "You have three wives and four concubines in your family? Can you introduce which three wives and four concubines?"

Yue Qianqiu, whose back froze, relaxed for a moment. He turned his horse's head and saw Zhou Jiyue standing there in a blue shirt. At first glance, her thin and angry expression in her men's clothing made her face more vivid, so that he blurted out: "Isn't that waiting for my grandfather's grandfather's mind to take over?"

Zhou Jiyue could no longer hold on to her slightly annoyed face. She snorted unhappy and then walked forward. Although she was walking, she, who was extremely tall, stood next to Yue Qianqiu on the back of the horse, looked slenderer and slenderer.

When she found that Yue Qianqiu was not at the right time, she was too lazy to pursue the things he said to the women just now. Seeing that there were no more idle people around, she said something lightly.

"I'm here to tell you that the person Luo Zhongshu next door to the Pei family was tied up can no longer be suppressed. In addition, the others were missing, Pei Xu had already discovered some signs. I guess we will find it in the next two days."

"Let him come, I'm waiting."

Yue Qianqiu shrugged and replied without thinking. Seeing Zhou Jiyue nodding slightly, as if he was about to leave when the message was over, he suddenly felt that the irritability had occupied his heart again. He subconsciously jumped off the horse and then grabbed her wrist. However, he didn't want to learn about her unique skills in the little grasping hand that could be his master, and he immediately let go of his hand.

"That... can you stay with me for a while tonight?" As soon as he said that, he noticed the grammatical problem. Before anyone could turn around, he immediately explained, "I mean, can you find a quiet place to drink with me?"

Zhou Jiyue has been in charge of a sect over the years and has shown her majesty in front of others. Except for the girls such as Song Jianjia, ordinary peers or peers, they will not invite her casually unless they are in groups, except that they always think that she is Yue Qianqiu of the little girl back then. Therefore, she just frowned slightly at the first half of the words, her face did not turn red at all, and she had no thoughts in her heart until she heard the second half of the words.

She keenly noticed Yue Qianqiu's hippie smile just now, as if she was hiding an indescribable irritability and restlessness. She nodded without hesitation and said, "Where to go?"

"There will definitely be a lot of people in the small winery tonight. Let's go to Xuandao Hall on Shitou Mountain. I've had a holiday for everyone. No matter where they go, there will definitely be a lot of people at this time. Oh, I really didn't expect that after the first month of the year, I will be the head of the sect. I thought it would take at least twenty or thirty years to take on this burden, but I didn't expect that I would be on par with you soon."

Zhou Jiyue knew that only the first sentence needed to hear. As for Yue Qianqiu's feelings afterwards, she just wanted to be in front of her ears. Because of this, she glanced at Snow White and suddenly asked with a smile: "I came out on foot today. Now you are the only horse. Are you planning to ride a horse with me and two people to Xuandao Hall?"

That night, he had been riding with Zhou Jiyue and the other two, and of course he would not forget the taste of Yue Qianqiu. If he followed his virtue, he would happily agree at this time, but when he saw Zhou Jiyue's smiling face, he thought about it over and over again, and finally shook his head into a rattle, and then said seriously: "The moonlight is just right, let Snow White go home by himself, let's walk!"

The moonlight was just right? Zhou Jiyue looked at the moon, which was completely covered by dark clouds, and she was so funny at Yue Qianqiu's nonsense. She was too lazy to argue with others. Seeing Yue Qianqiu gently patting Snow White's horse's thigh, the arrogant little mare sniffed, then glanced back at her and trotted it. She only felt that the mount's eyes seemed to be human and showed a strong sense of watching the excitement. She couldn't help but curse that there was someone who had the same horse.

Along the way, the two of them walked side by side, talking about those topics that were harmless in public, like friends who could speak everything. The moon in the sky was blocked, and they were walking through the dark alleys that few people passed by, so the elongated shadows were almost impossible to see on the ground, but occasionally some of the alleys would be filled with painful sobs and muffled groans.

In Yue Qianqiu's words, this is called contributing to the security of Jinling City during the Lantern Festival, and cleaning up those who crowed and thieves.

After seeing Yue Qianqiu knocking those guys who were obsessed with wealth and even wanted to be lustful, Zhou Jiyue didn't count, and then took off their belts or other coats and tied them up to linger them into rice dumplings. Then she poked her fingers and dipped them in their blood and wrote the word "thief or thief" on her forehead. She was even more amused and crying.

"Are you too much? Thieves may not be born, they may be forced by livelihood..."

"If it were normal, I would give it a lesson and let it go, but the moment is different. Just now you saw that so many girls and wives in the city walked out in groups. If you meet some bad guys and are knocked unconscious and dragged into the dark alley, it wouldn't have ruined a person, and it would have ruined a house! And haven't you noticed that the eyes and mouths we met were very bad. If it weren't for the time, I would have thrown the person directly to the yamen."

Yue Qianqiu, who was already in a bad mood, quickly hung a big man with a blue nose, swollen face and unconsciousness onto a tree, but reached out to pat his face twice, and then laughed sarcastically again.

"If you are seven or eight years old, and you can't find a job for life, stealing a steamed bun, or stealing some money from someone, then you can be forgiven. But these people are waiting to beat people in the dark alley, no matter how injured, disabled, and death, they just think about their own mates. When they meet a strong dragon like us, let alone being hung in the cold wind for a night, and I write words like thieves on my forehead, even if they are beaten to death, they deserve it!"

Zhou Jiyue finally sighed and said nothing. When she was traveling to Beijing, she also did a lot of things that she blushed and felt guilty for her livelihood. She thought about it and stole the valuable horse.

The only thing that was thankful was that she met Yue Qianqiu and followed Yan Xu to learn to read and write. Later, after Bailian Sect returned to the martial arts record, she tried every means to find the original owner to compensate. Otherwise, if she kept wandering around, she would become a person due to extreme hatred in the future, then it would be hard to say what kind of person she would become due to extreme hatred in the future.

But even if most people are poor, they still have a little bottom line. The guys they met along the way are different. They are extremely ruthless and leave no room for anything. One even saw them looking handsome and yelling to sell people to brothels and other things. As a result, Yue Qianqiu almost castrated the person...

It is precisely because of this that she became more and more sure of something, Yue Qianqiu was in a bad mood... very bad!

Although it was not the day of the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Xuandao Hall on Shitou Mountain was dark and it really seemed deserted. The disciples who practice martial arts and recognize words all year round went out to play in this rare carnival night, which was also notified by Yue Qianqiu in advance. After all, just before the New Year, the Xuandao Hall now housed some orphans from the north, which was more lively than before.

I found a small wine shop on the road and bought two hot gourds. Yue Qianqiu found a room to get an oil lamp, and then waved to Zhou Jiyue with a smile. The two of them gently climbed up to the roof of the building. In this cold and cold weather, the two of them sat side by side on the roof to have a breath of wind.

He picked up the wine gourd and touched Zhou Jiyue. Yue Qianqiu raised his neck and gurgled and drank so hard. Even if the wine was spilled out and wet most of his clothes, he didn't care. Until after putting down the wine gourd, Zhou Jiyue handed over a handkerchief.

"Don't take it seriously if you think you are in good health. Wipe it clean! Otherwise, it will freeze when you look back!"

Yue Qianqiu smiled, but did not shy. He took the veil and hid it on the water stain on the lapel of his clothes. Then he said lightly: "I just want to calm down. There are so many messy things recently. I don't dare to take out some things even to my grandfather or master. If I don't find someone to fall over, I will be suffocated to death."

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhou Jiyue and grinned, "I have to ask you to be my trash can tonight and let me spit out those trash words quickly!"

Zhou Jiyue felt ridiculous and laughed. When she found that Yue Qianqiu's smile was extremely reluctant, she knew that he might have been so cruel that she nodded gently. Hearing Yue Qianqiu took a deep breath, she began to talk about all kinds of troubles after returning to Beijing.

Among these things, she knew, some she vaguely noticed, and some she really knew nothing... So as she listened, she roughly understood why Yue Qianqiu was so irritable.

However, when Yue Qianqiu spoke in a very low voice about Princess Dongyang and the Emperor going to see Xiao Qingqing, and in a few days when Xiao Qingqing disappeared on a rainy night, Zhou Jiyue couldn't help but suddenly change her face. She could not think about it carefully and realize how much shock would be for Da Wu, even Beiyan, or the whole world.

Seeing that Yue Qianqiu had a quick blow, she couldn't help but say, "Qianqiu, although you are feeling uncomfortable, since you even hide the old Master Yue and Master Yan from it, it is not so appropriate to tell me about this."

"It's not because they can't tell it from my grandfather and master, but because I don't know it, but because I don't know it very well. Why did I keep me in the so-called life experience of Ying Xiaopang even though I should ask Xiao Qingqing alone?" At this point, Yue Qianqiu hugged his head irritably, and then took out the silk book he carried with me today and handed it over.

"Look. After reading it, you will know why I am so annoyed!"

Zhou Jiyue hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it. At this time, the oil lamp flashed in the cold wind, and the light was dim, but the dark clouds in the sky just temporarily dissipated, and a full moon hung high in the sky. Therefore, she used this moonlight and with her excellent eyesight, she finished reading the letter from beginning to end at the fastest speed.

Unlike the mentality of Yue Qianqiu's breathing several times when he read the letter, she was a bystander. Even though she was involved in her best friend and confidant, she still calmly persevered until the end.

After returning the silk book to Yue Qianqiu, she heard him say the words Xiao Jingxian had puns today. After thinking for a while, she finally said frankly: "Cheng Qianqian is not credible, and you have never seen the letterwriter who calls himself Ding An. It is difficult to confirm whether the silk book is left by her. I think you brought something to see King Jin. I was probably trying to identify the handwriting?"

Seeing that Yue Qianqiu nodded slightly and assuming this guess, she smiled relievedly.

"But since King Jin has already said something before you, I think it's better to make things clear about Master Yan first than hide it. I have also been half a student of Master Yan, so I always think that even if everyone in the world is hostile to you and hates you, he will definitely stand on your side!"
