The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 68

The fire trees and silver flowers never go to the night, and the gongs and drums of the good night event are noisy.

With a skewer of roasted pork skin in his left hand and a bowl of iced fish fillets in his right, Yun Ruochen walked leisurely on the water street, feeling unprecedentedly good.

She would be in a better mood if the two great gods behind her weren't obstructing her eyes.

Gu Che and Ye Shenyan walked behind Yun Ruochen on one left and one on the right, tacitly maintaining a proud posture with their arms folded and their heads swaggered forward, but they didn't look at each other.

"Isn't he the son of Ge's hometown, what are you arrogant about?" Ye Shenyan was extremely dissatisfied with the culprit who instigated the little princess to go out for a night outing. Isn't this adding to the chaos?

"It's just that the servant of the little princess dares to flirt with the master's guests!" Ye Shenyan was dissatisfied with Gu Che, and Gu Che couldn't understand Ye Shenyan even more.But because of Yun Ruochen's face, he didn't care about this brat, hum!

Look at the stones in my house, they are really good boys!
The miserable stone walked a few steps behind the three of them, holding a bunch of messy things in his arms - Rakshasa masks, fat clay figurines, wooden dolls...all bought by the two masters at the stall they visited just now of.

The young master really "abducted" the little princess... How dare he!Please don't let anything happen, Amitabha!
Shitou asked all the gods and Buddhas he could ask for, and then lamented that the servants in Prince Jing's mansion were too unprofessional and didn't know how to take the initiative to carry things for the master, hum!

Gu Che didn't complain about Ye Shenyan's disrespect in his heart, but he was actually quite curious about Ye Shenyan, a kid.

The little princess didn't introduce anything except his name, only said that this was her subordinate, and then told him not to ask more questions, just keep it a secret for her.

"Ache, this is a secret between us."

These words made Gu Che completely shut up, and he really didn't want to ask any more questions.

When he was in the army, he also heard from his father that some important figures were often accompanied by hidden guards.Maybe this Ye Shenyan is the secret guard arranged by King Jing for the princess?After all, Prince Jing is famous for loving the princess.

After Gu Che explained this to himself, he felt relieved, and he didn't feel strange about Ye Shenyan's "special" way of appearance.

But I still don't like him, hum!

As for why?
Mr. Gu Che will tell you, Eldest Young Master, do I need a reason to dislike someone?do you need?

"It's so beautiful."

Yun Ruochen finished eating the roasted pig skin and iced fish fillets, temporarily stopped marching towards the food, and stopped to lean on the stone railing of Water Street to admire the countless lanterns hanging along the street.

This Water Street is a branch of Royal Street.

The capital is divided into four gates, east, west, north, and south. Once you enter the south gate, you will be directly on the ten-mile-long royal road.Although it is called Yudao, theoretically it is for the emperor, but in fact, everyone knows that the emperor is always forced to become a lifelong otaku...

Therefore, after the development of Yudao, it became a commercial street.Daqing's folk business is quite prosperous, especially in a metropolis like Beijing.From the main road of Yudao to dozens of branch streets, each street is paved with bluestone, and both sides are full of shops.

The Water Street they are shopping at now is a long street next to the banks of the Tianshui River that passes through the center of the capital.The Tianshui River is named for its sweet water quality, and it supplies domestic water for the people of the entire capital.The river bank is full of peach, plum and apricot flowers. It is said that at the end of spring, the river is full of falling flowers, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.

It is a little regretful that the ice and snow are still there, and there are no beautiful flowers and trees to see.But tonight, another kind of beauty replaces the blooming spring scenery, that is the unique lantern scene of Lantern Festival.

There are bright lanterns hanging on the trees on both sides of the Tianshui River.There are ordinary Yuzha small ball lamps, and there are exquisite Hundred Flowers Revolving Horse Lanterns.There are also bead lamps, Luobo lamps, lotus lamps, peony lamps...the lamps are colorful, and the lamps are colorful. When you look far away, you can only feel the Milky Way pouring down from the sky, which is so beautiful.

Although the Qing Dynasty was also a vicious feudal society, folk ethics were not very prosperous.Especially on this kind of festival day, young men and women can also go to the street together to watch the lights, play, and take a walk. Some more romantic men will buy a beautiful lantern for their girlfriend to hold in their hands, or buy her a A bunch of exquisite silk flowers made of colored silk.

Seeing those young men and women taking advantage of this rare and beautiful scenery to talk about love, Yun Ruochen couldn't help but think of the phrase "On the top of the willow on the moon, when people make appointments after dusk", who said that the ancients did not have the freedom of love?Well, it is true that there is no freedom of marriage.

They walked all the way from Yudao Main Street just now, and Yun Ruochen has already swept away the dessert shops, barbecue stalls, and preserved fruit shops along the road.Later, she was finally a little embarrassed, so she dragged Gu Che and Ye Shenyan to eat and drink together, and even ate half a roast chicken with a stone.

Gu Che now finally believes that Yun Ruochen was really lured out by the list of snack names he reported that day.He prefers to believe that she deliberately turned into a boy because she was afraid that people would be shocked when they saw a little girl who could eat so much!

Is her stomach a bottomless pit?Why did he feel full after eating so much food, even he who could eat half a roast lamb, and her stomach didn't show any signs of swelling?
so mysterious...

"Hey, has the dragon dance started?"

Yun Ruochen was attracted by the abnormal noise in the distance again.

Gu Che also looked around curiously for a while, and called Shitou: "Is that the dragon dance team?"

"Yes, my lord." Shi Shi said, "The one held up high over there is the so-called 'Dragon Lantern'. It is made of bamboo, wood, colored paper, and silk cloth, and it is several feet long. Some special Dragon lanterns can be more than ten feet long, and dozens of people can hold and dance to fill up the entire street!"

"Ok?"

Yun Ruochen glanced at Shi Shi in surprise, turned his head and said to Gu Che, "Your boy knows a lot."

As soon as Shi Shi heard this, his bones became lighter by a few catties, and he quickly stood up straight with his chest and stomach protruding, without complaining about the weight in his hands.

The little princess knows the goods!
Gu Che was also very satisfied with his school boy's performance, so he glanced sideways at Ye Shenyan, and clearly signaled "learn more".

Ye Shenyan ignored him directly.

In the past, Ye Shenyan was also a lively character, but after entering Tingyu Tower in the past six months, perhaps because of Ye Cong, his temperament has gradually changed.

Even Yun Ruochen noticed Ye Shenyan's change.

She actually liked the clever, cheerful, and laughing little boy when she first met.I still remember the sly expression on his face when he sneaked into another courtyard trying to steal a chicken, but now he seems to be gradually disappearing.

Earlier, he would have said that he was a child jumping for her, but now...

"Shen Yan, do you want to buy some gadgets?"

She found that Ye Shenyan had been shopping with her for so long, but she didn't buy anything.

Ye Shenyan shook his head and said, "Master Ye Cong said, don't indulge in pleasure."

Yun Ruochen was dumbfounded, thinking about Ye Cong's coffin face with the cold air, and then looking at Ye Shenyan, he suddenly worried that Ye Shenyan would become an iceberg pervert like Ye Cong when he grew up.

"Your master is too strict..." Before she finished speaking, Ye Shenyan suddenly pulled her back two steps, but it turned out that the dragon dance team had already arrived.

Sure enough, as Shi Shi said, when the dragon dance team came, more than half of Water Street was taken up.Pedestrians retreated one after another to make room for the dragon dance team. Adults and children laughed and applauded.

"Well?"

In this lively and jubilant atmosphere, a trace of uneasiness flashed across Yun Ruochen's heart.

This strange feeling... Is there something bad going on nearby?
She looked around intently, and at first glance, she didn't see anything unusual.

"what happened?"

Ye Shenyan asked in a low voice.

"No, I don't feel very comfortable. Can you see anything strange around me for me?"

Yun Ruochen also answered in a low voice.Ye Shenyan knew a part of her "roots", so talking to him was much simpler and more direct.

Gu Che noticed that the two were whispering, and was about to ask what they were talking about, but Yun Ruochen's expression changed.

"Carefully follow me!"

Yun Ruochen didn't have time to greet the other two, so he called Ye Shenyan and squeezed past them not far away.

Yes, it is crowded because there are too many people.In order to free up space in the middle of the street, people piled up together, which also provided a "good opportunity" for many villains!
Yun Ruochen vigorously pushed away the adults who stood in front of her. Those who were pushed by her originally wanted to scold her, but they didn't bother to bother with her seeing that it was a thin and small boy.She just squeezed all the way, and the anxious look on her face became more and more intense.

Be quick, be quick, or it will be too late...
-
In front of her, a man in brown clothes and of medium build was holding a little girl in red clothes who seemed to be sleeping soundly in his arms, and hurriedly walked out of the crowd.

The little girl's face was covered by a butterfly mask, making it impossible to see her face clearly.Many girls of several years old in the night market were wearing similar masks, even Yun Ruochen bought one out of curiosity just now.

"Little Red!"

The man was about to walk out of the crowd, but he was blocked by a little boy.

The little boy looked eight or nine years old, small in stature, and unremarkable in appearance.

"What are you doing? Get out of the way." The man impatiently reached out to push the little boy, but the little boy ignored him, pulling the sleeping little girl and shouting "Xiaohong", "Xiaohong".

The man is in a hurry.He noticed that the people nearby seemed to be looking at him, and said angrily: "Boy, I don't know you, so don't pester my daughter."

"Uncle, are you Xiaohong's father?"

The little boy didn't let go, he raised his head and asked him a question, then desperately shook the girl's hanging hand: "Xiaohong, wake up! Wake up!"

Brown Yi was so anxious that he wanted to bump away the little boy who was pestering his "daughter", but unexpectedly, another boy appeared next to him.Although this boy still has a childish look on his face, his figure is almost as tall as an adult, and he looks quite strong.

"Little... Yun, what's going on?"

Gu Che almost blurted out and called "Little Princess", but fortunately he changed his words temporarily.

Yun Ruochen, who was dressed as a little boy, turned his face hard, grabbed the little girl with one hand, pointed at the man in brown with the other hand, and said coldly: "Ah Che, this is a trafficker!"

Traffickers?
The people around were in an uproar!
