A girl's voice came from behind.

"Stubborn..." Cao Pi wanted to reply, but the sword behind him hit the ground a little heavier, which made him hold back the words behind him.

"You, you, let go first." Even with the scabbard, the girl's strength made him dare not move.

"I'll let you go." There was no sign of giving in in the girl's tone.

This made Cao Pi speechless again. He escaped from his mother with great difficulty. How could he be willing if he couldn't read a page?

Gritting his teeth, he asked, "No, if you let me read four pages, how about I tell you something about your master?"

The sword behind his back loosened.

The person behind him didn't speak for a moment, and asked after a while, "Aren't you lying to me?"

She is not familiar with anyone in this place, and the master has never heard from her. Apart from reading and practicing sword every day, she only waters the flowers and plants planted by the master, and then sits in one place in a daze.

Sometimes she even wondered if it was because she felt that she was a drag and the master didn't want her to follow her anymore.Every time she thought of this, she felt a little at a loss, but she didn't know what to do.

"I never lie."

Cao Pi said that he felt the sword being withdrawn from behind his back.

Looking back, the girl hesitated.

He walked to the door and opened it, went in and took out a book.

"Is this the book?"

"Yes." Cao Pi's eyes lit up, he took the book, and sat on the ground to read it.

The four pages were read quickly, but I finished it in the time for a cup of tea.

It just happened to write about returning to Qin.

Cao Pi was holding the book, and he wanted to read further, but four pages had passed, so he took a deep breath while pinching the pages, closed the book and handed it back.

"Say four pages, just four pages."

"What you said just now is news from my master." The girl took the book and asked aloud.

Cao Pi stood up from the ground and patted the dust on his body.

Seeing the girl holding the book, she lowered her head and pursed her lips.

"I heard from my mother that my father wrote back at home, and he will be back before Shangyuan."

After speaking, he glanced at the girl.

"Your master should be the same."

"At that time, I will beg my father to let me be your master's student, so you won't be able to stop me from reading."

Before Shangyuan, it will be Shangyuan in a few days.

The girl's fingers touched the sword in her hand unconsciously, and she replied in a daze.

"Ah."

······

About three days before Shangyuan, the army returned to the city.

Gu Nan followed Cao Cao and the others back to the mansion. Far away, she saw people waiting in front of the mansion. One of them was a little girl with a sword in her hand, looking towards this side on tiptoe.

She saw Gu Nan, and when Gu Nan walked in and got off the horse, the girl ran over and hugged Gu Nan's waist with red eyes.

"Heh." Gu Nan smiled, and put his hand on her head: "Qi'er, why are you crying?"

"But someone bullied you, tell you to listen to Uncle Cao, and I will teach him for you."

As Cao Cao asked, he glanced at Cao Ang who was standing aside.

Cao Ang inexplicably felt a chill behind him, shivered, and smiled slightly: "Father, what are you looking at me for?"

Cao Pi stood beside Cao Ang, staring blankly at the girl's master, the gentleman in white.

He has not met a few times.

The man was wearing a white dress with armor on the outside and a bamboo hat on his head.

He is relatively short, and from his perspective, he can just see her.

That appearance was exactly the same as the general in white he had imagined.

Chapter 355: The face is red

Burning lamps began to be hung on both sides of the street. There was no color during the day, but at night, the lights under the eaves would illuminate the street brightly, making the night like day.There are many small stalls on both sides of the street, selling some cloth bags for blessing, dolls, and some small food.

Before Shangyuan, the streets in this city were already much bustling, as if even the winter cold that had not yet passed had been dispelled.

Shangyuan is the Lantern Festival. There are many sayings about the custom of lighting lanterns in Shangyuan, but the main one is that it originated from the fact that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up an altar in the palace on the [-]th day of the first lunar month to worship Taiyi, the most noble god among the gods at that time. Since it is held all night, lights must be lit all night, and this has become the beginning of the Lantern Festival.

Later in the Ming Dynasty, there was also the saying of lighting lamps to represent Buddha. The custom of lighting lamps spread from the royal palace to the people.

Of course, this small town cannot be as magnificent as the capital Shangyuan, but it also has a special flavor.

On the morning of the Lantern Festival, Gu Nan was still lazing in her courtyard, holding a water ladle in her hand, watering the flowers while thinking about other things. She might consider visiting someone during the recent period.

But before she could figure out when to go, there was a sound of hurried trotting outside.

It was Lingqi who ran in from the outside, her face was reddish, she was smiling, she seemed a little excited.

But when she saw Gu Nan, she quickly stopped and stood up again, panting slightly, "Master, master."

"Qi'er, what's the matter?" Gu Nan looked at her with a smile, it was rare to see her showing the appearance that such a child should have.

"Master." Lingqi seemed a little apprehensive, and asked in a low voice.

"Shall we go to see the lights together today?"

When she was in Luoyang, she saw a lantern festival. At that time, the city was covered in red, which was as beautiful as the red makeup of women.

She sits on her father's shoulders, pointing to where, father will squeeze through the crowd and take her there, mother will follow behind and look at them with a smile, there are only a few people in the lights.

Lingqi lowered her head, she was afraid that Gu Nan would not agree.

In her memory, Gu Nan didn't like crowded places.
