The lantern festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a rare festival where boys and girls can go out without being criticized by others. It is also a rare day for many unmarried men and women to meet in private. Of course, ladies still have to cover their faces when they go out.

All the children of the Jia family chose to go out to visit the lanterns on this day. At the beginning, the Chen Ziang brothers and sisters didn't want to go. After all, their parents were actually in the filial piety period.

But he couldn't stand the push of a few friends, plus Chen Ziang loved his sister, and he was with the sisters in Jia's mansion. I agreed.

One of the traditional activities of the Lantern Festival that especially attracts talented scholars and beauties is playing lantern riddles. If you want to participate in the activity, you only need to pay a registration fee of ten cents.

Every time you guess a group of lantern riddles, you can choose the corresponding lantern to take away until you can't guess it. The best lantern is worth one or two pennies.

Of course, those who participate in lantern riddles activities are seldom purely greedy for the value of lanterns, but mainly boys who show their talents in front of girls they like.

Jia Zhuo is also very fond of those beautiful lanterns, but he doesn’t know how to guess lantern riddles. Seeing the set of riddles he bought with excitement, he wants to cry:

If you want to speak without words, you will first reveal your feelings (type one word)

People arrive at the bank of the river in the middle of the night (type one word)

Relatively no tears, don't worry about the future (type one word)

What are these things?It's okay if I can't guess this, I also promised to give the two aunts, sisters and cousins ​​what to do with the little lanterns they brought back together.

This store is still brain-dead. If you want a lantern, you have to guess it. Even if you give him a tael of silver, the small lantern will not be sold. If you want to change the crossword puzzle, you have to give up this round and sign up again for ten cents.

He definitely didn't care about the registration fee of ten cents, but even if he signed up, it would still be useless next time, and the little lantern would still hang there and have nothing to do with him.

In the end, Bo Tao was like a big brother, unlike the others who knew how to watch the excitement and make fun of himself. In the end, with Bo Tao's help, he finally answered four sets of the most common lantern riddles. As for his own, he didn't want it. !

After this experience, guessing lantern riddles topped the list of Jia Zhuo's least favorite activities. He never wanted to participate in the second time in his life, but the girls smiled happily.

Because, after teasing Jia Zhuo, whether it was Chen Ziang, Jia Cong, or Jia Huan, it was easy to guess lantern riddles, and they all helped the girls get the lanterns they really wanted.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, since Zishi is going to release river lanterns to make a wish, no matter which city it is, there is no curfew on this day, and there is even no need to pay city gate tax.

Under the protection of the mother-in-law, maids, and servants, the few people finally squeezed to the gate of the city when the whole city was crowded with people. They saw that there were still people everywhere by the moat, and there were people standing by the river. There seemed to be no place, and Jia Zhuo and Bo Tao began to have a headache.

But the lanterns still have to be put on. The brothers and sisters of the Chen family want to put lights on for their parents, praying for their parents to live in a healthy and happy life there.

The rest of the people prayed for the safety and happiness of their elders and relatives. Only Jia Zhuo and Bo Tao were depressed when they were playing lantern riddles, so they didn't have lights in their hands.

However, on this day, put lanterns to pray for blessings. In addition to river lanterns, you can also buy Kongming lanterns at the stalls under the city gate and put them in the sky to pray for your loved ones.

Jia Zhuo and Bo Tao simply asked the people behind them to take care of several girls, so as not to be squeezed into the water, they held hands, took a piece of silver to the stall, and asked them to put a red Kongming lantern of ten taels of silver.

There are two types of Kongming lanterns. It is said that the white one is for the dead, that is, for the deceased relatives, while the red one is for the safety of the elders.

Jia Zhuo and Bo Tao were both young, and they had never faced any other deceased except for the funeral with Chen Ziang. Therefore, they wanted to pray for their relatives, and they could not mention their names, so they simply Just let the peddler put the lights on.

Just when Jia Zhuo and Bo Tao were standing a little far away smiling and watching the boss put the candle into the paper bag and light it, and then the paper bag slowly swelled and flew up into the sky, suddenly felt A wave of malice struck.

Then, he heard Bo Tao shouting: "Changfu, run! Huh~"

Jia Zhuo had subconsciously dodged the other party's grabbing hand, but found a man hugging Bo Tao tightly, and said as he walked, "Why are you so disobedient, and you led your brother to the city in a blink of an eye?" Is it from outside? What if something goes wrong?"

When the people nearby heard it, it turned out that the child was disobedient and ran around, so they immediately ignored it. Such things are not uncommon in such a lively day. Just hit it.

Jia Zhuo saw that Bo Tao had been taken away, weighed his short legs, and asked the people around him to arrest him too.

The guards flew over to rescue them when they realized something was wrong, but Bo Tao secretly gestured to them, so the guards who were supposed to be hidden guards quickly disappeared and chased them secretly.

Jia Rong also quickly realized that something was wrong. Fortunately, the people around Jia Zhuo and Bo Tao were either specially transferred and taught by the Wang family, or specially selected by the royal family.

They quickly calmed down, left a code in a secret place, and then took a few children to the private room they had reserved before to wait for news.

It's not that I don't want to take the children back home, but there are too many people on the street, and the two grandchildren have been taken away. It's still not clear whether it's pure human traffickers who saw the two children look so captive, or calculated it.

If it was the latter, they would not be able to determine for a while whether to attack the Prince's Mansion or the Jia Family, let alone whether they would encounter an ambush on the way back.

In this case, it would be better to stay in the restaurant next to the city gate, which was originally decided to let a few young masters rest after playing. There are people coming and going here, and it is not easy for the other party to make a direct move.

Jia Zhuo was wrapped in someone's arms and ran quickly, nothing else happened, but this man happened to be a stinky man, stuffy in his coat, and Jia Zhuo had a keen sense of smell, so he almost got smoked right away.

Until he was thrown into a carriage, two people rushed over from the carriage, gagged him with a rag, and tied him with hemp rope. Just when he was about to resist, he saw him Bo Tao, who was tied up in one step, was put into a sack.

He thought for a while, just now after Bo Tao was arrested, he obviously paused and released the water, there must be some purpose, so he immediately decided to follow along to have a look.

Left and right, just like this hemp rope, not to mention that he can take out things in the secret territory and cut it open, even with his own divine power, he can break free at any time, so he didn't struggle at all.

These human traffickers were not surprised at all. It is estimated that the child is too young and has been so scared that he forgot to cry at the moment. This is good, and it will save trouble.

Jia Zhuo was also put into a sack and piled up in a corner. Soon, he heard the man who was carrying Bo Tao say, "Brother, is it almost there?"

The man with the stinky arm that grabbed Jia Zhuo before pondered for a while and said: "Come on, let's go, the small one I picked up along the way today is real, and the others are pretty good looking, go back to the south for a while." It can fetch a good price."

The man against Bo Tao curled his lips and said: "This group of rich bastards are sicker than the other. It's okay to play with boys, but they also play with little boys. I don't know what they are thinking. "

The stinky man didn't care much and said: "We don't know what they think, and we don't care about it, but just this little guy who was captured at the end, if you clean it up, you can get hundreds of taels of silver by one, and with those big ones A little bit, 1000 taels of silver will be stable."

"When the time comes for us brothers, the family will share two or three hundred taels, which is enough to spend for more than a year. With the money given there, it will be enough for us to spend the rest of our lives doing nothing."

"With this money, we can find whatever land we like. As for those who are willing to play and yell at children, we will be happy if we have more. Where else will the money come from?"

The man against Botao echoed flatteringly: "Yes, yes, what elder brother said is very true, very true!"

The stinky man kicked him and said: "Stop the fucking nonsense, go out and have a look with the third son, after we deliver the goods, we will go out of the city and go back to the old place, and then we will have a look. Find a good buyer for some of the goods in the store."

The man against Botao bent down and walked outside, while saying: "Okay, after the goods are delivered to the third master, let's quickly sell the remaining few goods, boss, I don't know what's wrong , I always have a bad feeling."

After thinking about it for a while, the stinky man said: "Since this is the case, there will be many nights and dreams. If you earn less, you should earn less. The safety of the brothers is the priority."

In their line of work, there are more or less inexplicable intuitions, and it is with this intuition that they often save the lives of themselves and their teammates.

Therefore, the more evil people do, sometimes the more they believe in those illusory things, and these desperadoes actually cherish their lives more than anyone else. They would rather earn less. Once someone has a bad premonition, they will Immediately stop temporarily.

However, although they obviously sensed a bad premonition and were willing to earn less money, unfortunately they didn't know that it was already too late for them to attack Bo Tao and Jia Zhuo.

Even if they leave Bo Tao and the others and run away now, it won't work, because the hidden guards have already used the mark on the jade pendant that Bo Tao made before getting into the car, and the small purse that Jia Zhuo hung on the car As a guide, he fell in the carriage not far away and followed.

Listening to their conversation now, Jia Zhuo probably guessed that these people should be here for Bo Tao, and he himself, and maybe there are other children here, who are the so-called easy money.

good!That's great, it seems that if my little Zhuanfeng doesn't die for a while, you will all feel sorry for being smoked by you and almost fainting, just wait, as soon as you deal with people meet, then your death will come.
