Without saying anything more, Zhang Yang was already used to Aunt Wang and Aunt Yang, these two weird neighbors.

Li Yue followed Zhang Yang towards Zhuque Street and took the initiative to hold Zhang Yang's hand.

Li Yue's little hands felt a little cold, but her hands were beautiful, her fingers were slender, and it felt good to hold them in her hands.

Walking out of the quiet alley, your eyes suddenly opened up.

It was already dark in the bustling Zhuque Street, and the entire Chang'an City looked brightly lit.

Pedestrians were constantly coming and going, there were many parents yelling at their children, and there were also people talking and laughing.

A young couple walked into the crowd and quickly attracted the attention of many people.

The man wears a black robe and the woman wears a red coat.

The backs of their clothes were embroidered with a pattern of two little bears, making them a very conspicuous couple outfit.

With a smile on her face, the woman held the man's hand, not caring about the surrounding eyes.

The man could not be said to be very handsome, but he gave off a very clean feeling.

The woman's smile was very pleasant.

The man held the woman's hand and deliberately slowed down to let the girl next to him keep up.

Pedestrians looked at the young couple and pointed.

"It's so lively." Li Yue looked around.

"It's really lively, be careful not to get lost." Zhang Yang said calmly.

Li Yue took Zhang Yang's arm and said, "I'm not a child anymore."

In a place with such a large flow of people, the probability of getting lost is actually quite high.

The men on the road were also a little surprised when they saw Li Yue, what a beautiful girl.

But when they saw her holding the man's arm, the men who were watching could only shake their heads and sigh, and left in disappointment.

Li Yue is indeed beautiful, especially the way she smiles.

While walking and walking, Li Yue would stop and take a closer look at something new and novel, and then bought some pastries and ate them.

"You eat too." Li Yue raised her head and handed over a piece of pastry.

Zhang Yang caught it with his mouth.

Seeing this woman feeding the man, this intimate act made many women walking on the street feel ashamed or envious.

Why are there girls so shameless?

It does look sweet.

Thinking that their husbands wished they could treat each other as guests, the women let out a long sigh.

In the past, my family didn't have much money, so I basically didn't spend anything when I went out.

Now that he has money, Li Yue is unusually arrogant. When he sees something he likes, he buys it directly.

After a while she bought another lantern.

Holding a lantern and taking small steps, she noticed another old man from the Western Region.

This old man from the Western Region spread a cloth on the ground, and on the cloth were three bowls that were upside down.

After understanding it, this is actually a gamble.

People put money under one of the bowls, and the old man quickly moved the three bowls. After moving, people could guess which bowl contained the money.

If the old man guessed correctly, he would pay double the money; if he guessed wrongly, the money won would go to the old man from the Western Regions.

Several people took turns to participate in the gambling game, and they all lost.

Li Yue blinked and said, "How about we try too?"

Zhang Yang said: "It's so boring, so unskilled."

Li Yue whispered: "But so many people have lost."

Zhang Yang cleared his throat and said, "Let's do this. If I win, you can kiss me."

"..."

"Kiss what?" Li Yue was a little surprised.

It took a while for her to understand what she meant. She hit Zhang Yang's shoulder with her small fist and whispered, "There are so many people."

"Forget it."

Li Yue took Zhang Yang's hand and said, "If you lose, you will make me ten meals of fermented glutinous rice dumplings!"

After speaking, Li Yue took out a piece of silver cake the size of a fingernail and handed it to Zhang Yang.

Then she showed a proud smile, as if Jiuniang Yuanzi had been obtained.

Zhang Yang handed the silver cake to the old man from the Western Region, "Let me try."

The old man from the Western Region smiled and grabbed the silver cake with a bowl, and then quickly moved the three bowls.

After a while, he stopped and made a gesture of invitation.

There were many people watching around.

Li Yue stood beside Zhang Yang, waiting to unveil the bowl.

The old man from the Western Region whispered: "This young master, please come."

Zhang Yang pointed to a bowl on the right and said, "It's definitely not in this bowl."

After speaking, I opened the bowl, and it was indeed empty under the bowl.

The onlookers started talking again.

Zhang Yang pointed to the bowl on the left and said, "It's not in this bowl either."

Everyone watched him open the second bowl, which was also empty.

Only the last bowl is left, and it is only possible that the silver cake is in the last bowl.

Li Yue's expression also froze on her face.

The old man from the Western Region smiled, paid Zhang Yang two pieces of silver cake of the same size, and then left in a hurry, not even asking for the bowl.

Only then did everyone come to their senses. This Westerner was a liar!

Someone gave chase on the spot.

Zhang Yang held the silver cake in his hand and said, "Someone just made a bet with me."

Li Yue frowned and said, "Did you notice it too?"

Zhang Yang snorted coldly: "It's just a cover-up. You also know that there are actually none in the three bowls. The old man from the Western Regions has very long sleeves. He wants the money to appear in whichever bowl he wants."

"Actually, I wasn't in the bowl from the beginning. He had it in his sleeve a long time ago, so you also think that I will definitely lose."

Li Yue stamped her feet in frustration, "Who knew you could play like this!"

Zhang Yang pointed to the side of his face and said, "I am willing to admit defeat."

Li Yue said: "You are cheating. You are more cunning than that Western Region man."

"That's what you want to bet with me yourself."

Both of them saw through each other's tricks, but Li Yue didn't expect that Zhang Yang not only saw through it, but also made it difficult for the Western Region native to get off the stage.

Looking at Li Yue's troubled face, Zhang Yang said: "It's not difficult to deal with that kind of person as long as you use some wisdom."

Li Yue's face was extremely red.

Even if the Tang Dynasty is relatively open, ordinary girls have never heard of such a request, let alone on the street with so many people.

It's really hard for my little wife.

Zhang Yang touched her little head and said, "People's hearts are sinister, learn more, and let's take care of this kiss first."

"How can you be as dangerous as you..."

Li Yue's voice was very low, like a mosquito's cry.

Holding his arm, Li Yue walked and said: "Ten meals of rice dumplings are gone..."

The fireworks were put off on New Year's Eve, which happened to be the day when the curfew was lifted in Chang'an City.

Zhang Yang looked for the best place to watch the fireworks.

Finally, his eyes fell on a bell tower. This bell tower was next to the temple. Zhang Yang remembered that there was a big bell on the top of this place. This was the kind of bell that the evening drums and morning bells were ringing.

Of course, this kind of facility is also used to provide early warning in the city.

That place is not guarded by officers and soldiers, and it is considered one of the high places that ordinary people can go to.

Other relatively high places in Chang'an City are guarded by officers and soldiers.

The two of them walked slowly on Zhuque Street.

Li Yue usually doesn't go out, but she also likes to watch this kind of human fireworks.

Chang'an City at night is more lively than during the day. There are drunk people chanting poems loudly, and there are also people who drink too much and get into fights with others.
