Falling Snow Ruoying

Chapter 18: The Eve of the Flower Festival

Su Qing jumped into Luo Ying's room, and asked happily: "Sister, have you prepared all the things you need to go to Xicheng for Huachao?"

"Xicheng?" Luo Ying repeated in confusion.

"Oops! Something bad happened." Su Qing scolded softly.

Su Lie walked in, and Su Qing hurried away as if she had seen a ghost, leaving the two puzzled people in the room.

"Ying'er, we are going on a long trip these few days, you should prepare first." Su Lie said happily, expecting Luo Ying's happy expression.

Unexpectedly, Luo Ying said naively: "Are you going to Xicheng? Qing'er just said that."

It turned out that I was in such a hurry to leave because I ruined my good business. Damn it, I wanted to give Yinger a surprise.Su Lie clenched his fists and thought angrily, and then said, "I went to the Huachao Festival, Ying'er probably doesn't know what the Huachao Festival is." After all, she lost her memory.

"I know. When I was in school, the teacher said that the Flower Festival is the birthday of the God of Flowers. It is held around the second day of the second lunar month. You can enjoy flower viewing, sacrifices, and other lively activities." Luo Ying replied in detail.

Su Lie sighed, "Ying'er really knows a lot, that's all, let's get ready, we have to go there a few days before Hua Chao."

"Understood." Luo Ying replied happily. She once heard Su Qing say that Xicheng is the most flower city, and this time the Flower Festival will definitely be very exciting, which is really exciting.

On the second day, there was a carriage parked outside the gate. Su Lie and Luo Ying both sat in it. Luo Ying didn't see Su Qing before leaving, so she asked Su Lie strangely: "Where is Qinger?"

"She was in a hurry. She thought the carriage was too slow and rode away alone." Su Lie said calmly, but she didn't know that Su Qing was riding alone on the road and complained fiercely: "Brother Lie is too bad, didn't you just say it in advance, Just drive me away and let me go to Xicheng alone.

After traveling all the way and finally arrived at Xicheng, just as Su Lie got off the car, a woman in purple came up to greet her cordially, "Ah Lie, this time Hua Chao can finally pass with you." Su Lie just nodded slightly and looked back Luo Ying did not answer.

It turned out to be a date with a lover!Why am I a light bulb?Luo Ying thought sourly, slowly get out of the car and stay away from Su Lie, so that people can't be misunderstood.

"Who is this girl? She looks so beautiful and I have never heard of it before." After exchanging pleasantries with Su Lie for a while, the woman realized the woman behind Su Lie.

"I'm Luo Ying, I'm too famous." Luo Ying replied

"So it's Luo Ying. I'm Ah Lie's childhood sweetheart and I've known him for ten years. My name is Lin Ziyuan." Ziyuan used to hold Luo Ying's hand affectionately, "Since we are both Ah Lie's friends, then we are Friends, you can call me Ziyuan, then I will call you Xiaoying too!"

"Yeah." Luo Ying nodded, and withdrew her hand indistinctly.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, the inn is ready, let's go back quickly." Ziyuan led the way, and the others followed her.

"I wanted you to live in my place. As the lord of Xicheng City, I still have a few luxurious guest rooms, but Ah Lie wants to live outside, saying that it is close to the street." Ziyuan and Luo Ying whispered on the way there. She was so warm and gentle, Luo Ying let go of his guard and chatted with her.

"I didn't expect you to become the city lord at such a young age. You really can't be judged by your appearance." Luo Ying said with a smile.

"Yeah, a girl my age should be dating and chatting with her lover now, it's like I date a large number of memorials every day." After finishing speaking, she sighed.

"Hehe." Luo Ying couldn't help laughing.

After arriving at the inn, Ziyuan chatted about things in the city and then left. Su Lie seemed to explain: "I met Ziyuan ten years ago, and something happened to me at that time. Qinger made friends with her." He just met me, and because of his ability to govern, he became the city lord of Xicheng, so he will have some intersections in official affairs."

"Oh, I see." Luo Ying said quietly.

After a while, Su Qing ran over, "Brother, you are too slow and almost missed the annual Flower Festival."

"It's not as fast as you." Su Lie glanced at the candied haws in Su Qing's hand and said.

"You... don't you have a big brother who is good at supervising your younger sister?" Thinking of the fact that they abandoned themselves, they became angry.

"Excellent reputation, my duty lies."

"You..." Su Qing pointed at Su Lie but was speechless, she simply withdrew her hand and pulled Luo Ying out to play, Su Lie shook her head and followed.

Although it was only a few days before the Huachao Festival, the street was already very lively, Su Qing volunteered to be a tour guide and led Luo Ying around here and there with full curiosity, Su Lie followed them to protect, and "checked out" by the way .

"Sister, it's just the eve of the eve. It will be so lively when there are celebrations on that day." Su Qing said as if offering a treasure.

Luo Ying smiled, looking forward to it too.

It was dark in a blink of an eye, Su Qing went to Ziyuan's place to sleep, and Su Lie had something to leave at night, before leaving, there was a special arrangement: there might be some danger at night when there are too many people, so don't go out for fun.

Looking at the traffic and traffic outside, Luo Ying was very depressed in the house, but Hua Chao was going to light the lights for a few nights, so there was no danger in letting her out.Only me and the group of guards outside are left here, alas, what should I do?Why don't you sneak out and come back after playing.

Just do what you say, Luo Ying took some money and went out. Of course, she had to dodge the guards outside. She used the most common slapstick, and when she saw that everyone had been shaken off, she walked around in peace of mind. When she turned around, she found that the guards were far away. follow far behind.It's really difficult, Luo Ying thought, let you follow, as long as you don't hinder yourself.

On the way shopping, I was attracted by a stall for buying lanterns. The stall owner was a white-haired old man. Although his face was wrinkled, he could still guess that he must have been very handsome when he was young.The old man's face changed when he saw the jade on Luo Ying's waist, but he immediately withdrew his surprised expression and asked kindly, "Miss, do you have any lanterns you want? I'll get them for you."

"Old man, I want this." Luo Ying pointed to the elegant and exquisite phoenix lantern that she had admired for a long time.The old man paused and took off the lamp, Luo Ying stretched out his hand to catch the old man but suddenly withdrew his hand.Luo Ying asked puzzledly: "That's what I want, old man, and I'll give it as much as I need."

The old man smiled and said, "The girl's eyesight is to take a good look at the best one, but to get it requires not only money, but also couplets. If you get the right answer, you will be pleasantly surprised. If you get it wrong, you won't be able to give you the lantern."

"Couple?" Buying a lamp is still so troublesome, forget it, the three years of high school are not for nothing. "Old man, please ask questions."

"Young phoenix learns to fly, and thousands of miles of wind and cloud arise from this." The old man said the first couplet slowly, and then waited for Luo Ying's answer.

Such a familiar sentence, have you heard it before?Luo Ying secretly wanted to answer the next sentence casually, "Rise up the Qianlong, and the nine-day thunderstorm will come in time."

The old man clapped his hands excitedly, "Miss, you are right, this is a temporary absolute! There is only one person in the world who is right, and I didn't expect you, girl, to be right word for word."

"Really? Who is that person, the same person as I am right." Hearing that someone had the same thought as her, Luo Ying asked curiously.

"The daughter of Luo Shi, the patriarch of the Feiyu Clan in Xijiang, unfortunately passed away ten years ago." The old man said regretfully.

"That's it, that's a pity." Luo Ying also felt very regretful.

"Stop talking about sad things," the old man handed the phoenix lantern to Luo Ying, and took out a sachet from his bosom, "Since the girl has accepted the couplet, the lantern is yours, and the sachet is also yours." The little surprise can be used to exorcise evil spirits, please accept it, girl."

"Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient, thank you." Luo Ying nunu put the sachet on her waist, bid farewell and went on to the next shop, not aware of the approaching danger at all.

.....

"Have you not found the source yet?" Su Lie asked angrily

"Not yet, the subordinates are looking for it, and now we can only suppress the ones that have come out."

"Damn it! Why is it so difficult?" Su Lie knocked on the table, "By the way, where is Qinger?"

"I gave her some medicine to let her fall asleep first, and the guide can wake up tomorrow morning."

"I'm afraid she's playful, so I'm relieved now. Ying'er lives in the inn, and she's been ordered not to come out. Now we're splitting up into two groups. I'll go and look around, and you lead someone to quickly find the source and analyze these things by the way. Find out the characteristics of the corpse, and find the weakness." Su Lie arranged in an orderly manner

"Understood, be careful on the road, and hope to get things done tomorrow."
