Xie Fu protected Xia'er across the Black Magpie Bridge. The two of them were already covered in sweat.
Xia Er smiled and said: "Every year on this day, there are a lot of people on this Wuque Bridge. I have been unable to cross it for several years, but this year I finally crossed it."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Finally, Sister Xia'er's wish was fulfilled."
Xia'er smiled and said, "As a flower protector, you can be considered responsible for your duties."
Xia'er said, taking out the silk handkerchief and wiping the sweat from Fu Xie's face.
Xia Er took personal care of Xie Fu for a while. Although this behavior was affectionate, the two of them felt nothing.
Tantai Heqing has clearly seen that the woman traveling with Xie Fu is her personal maid Xia'er, and feels much more comfortable, at least... at least the wealth will not go to outsiders.
Xia'er was adopted by Tantai Heqing's parents when she was very young, and she grew up with Tantai Heqing. Tantai Heqing always regarded Xia'er as a younger sister.
Seeing Xia'er taking out a silk handkerchief and gently wiping Fu Xie's sweat, Tantai Heqing still felt sour in his heart.
Xia'er, why him? You are really good at choosing.
Tantai Heqing has been quietly following behind, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Xie Fu and Xia Er came to a stage where a new play - The Big Bandit Mr. Li was being sung.
It tells the story of a man pretending to be a county magistrate, outsmarting the four major families in Wuxi, and conquering the plague.
Xia'er heard it was interesting, so she stopped to watch and listen to the singing. When she heard that the identity of the fake county magistrate was exposed and was being chased by evildoers from the four major families, she couldn't help but become nervous.
Xie Fu bought two maltose candies shaped into monkeys and handed them to Xia'er.
Xia'er finally came back to her senses, reached out to take it, and asked: "Mr. Xie, have you heard of this play?"
Xie Fu smiled and said, "This is my first time listening to it too. It's probably a new play."
Xia'er stretched out her red tongue and licked the long monkey's tail, "Hmm, it's so sweet." She quickly stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, as the girl's nature dictated.
The play is finished, but there is no ending.
Xia'er asked in surprise: "Is it over? I haven't said whether Mr. Li will live or die in the end."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Don't worry, God is willing. Let's go to the next place. I haven't had enough shopping yet."
Xia Er smiled and said, "Originally I was going back, but you are still in high spirits, so I will accompany you."
Tantai Heqing stared blankly at the two maltose candies and their smiles, feeling increasingly uncomfortable and feeling the urge to cry for some reason.
Seeing the two people leaving talking and laughing, Tantai Heqing stopped following and stood there blankly, her eyes still red after all. It was the first time she liked someone so much.
He said he would protect her, cherish her, love her and love her!
But he still lied to her after all.
Tantai Heqing suddenly felt ridiculous. It turned out to be all her wishful thinking...
"Miss, miss."
Xiaoqiu finally found Tantai Heqing and breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss, I finally found you. I was scared to death."
Tantai Heqing didn't respond. Xiaoqiu suddenly saw Tantai Heqing's eyes were red, as if she had been wronged. She was surprised and said: "Miss, what's wrong with you? Who bullied you, I tore him apart."
Tantai Heqing forced a smile and said, "It's okay. The scene just now was too touching. Let's go back."
Xiaoqiu cursed: "This disgusting show made my young lady cry."
Tantai Heqing said angrily: "I didn't cry. Am I so weak?"
Xia'er usually stayed at home, but rarely came out. She was as happy as a child along the way.
Since Xie Fu is the flower protector, he is naturally as careful as his brother.
On their way home, the two of them passed by a riddle, and Xia'er actually stopped and stared at the riddle.
Xie Fu saw her and asked, "Sister Xia'er, do you want to guess lantern riddles?"
Xia'er responded: "No, that cloth man is so cute." He pointed out his hand.
Xie Fu looked over and saw a cloth figure stuffed inside and wrapped in silk and satin. What was even better was that the cloth figure was wearing a small fairy skirt, which looked lifelike.
Xie Fu said with a smile: "At first glance, she looks like the Seventh Fairy Sister."
Xia'er responded: "That's the seventh sister."
Since the cloth man was placed on the riddle table, he would naturally win the prize after guessing the lantern riddle. Xie Fu smiled and said, "Let's go and see if we can win the prize."
Xia'er said: "But I don't know how to guess lantern riddles."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "I can."
Xia'er was overjoyed. She competed with Mr. Du in the hall that day. She had already experienced Xie Fu's talent and learning.
Most of the lantern riddles on the wooden board have been guessed. There is only one riddle left on the wide wooden board, but it is covered with a red cloth so that the riddle cannot be seen.
Where the colorful heads were placed, the silks, fans, pens and inkstones, cakes and other items were also stripped away, leaving only the lonely Seven Immortals.
The strange thing is that there is only one mystery left, but it is still very popular. There are elegant people, mean people, and old gentlemen, all of whom are full of interest and enthusiasm.
Xie Fu and Xia Er squeezed to the front and asked the middle-aged man hosting the riddle stage: "Which riddle is this Seven Immortal Sister Bu Ren the winner of?"
The host of the mystery station pointed to the place covered by the red cloth and said: "This is the winning number of this mystery."
Xie Fu asked: "If that's the case, why is it covered with red cloth so that you can't see the riddle? How can you ask people to guess?"
The host smiled and said: "Because this riddle was created by Mrs. Lan Ning herself. If you don't guess correctly, you will be punished. If you guess correctly, the prize will be hard to find."
"Oh, Madam Lan Ning." Xie Fu suddenly became interested, "Then I want to hear first how hard it is to get this lucky draw."
"The lucky draw is that Mrs. Lan Ning will meet in person and play the piano for the person who guesses the answer to the riddle."
Xie Fu said with a smile: "Oh, is it so hard to find a solution for such a priceless person?"
A young master beside Fu Xie said: "Do you know who Mrs. Lan Ning is?"
Xie Fu said with a smile: "How could I not know that Mrs. Lan Ning is the most beautiful lady in Gusu."
If he hadn't met Lan Ning once, Xie Fu would really not take her name seriously, no matter how resounding the name was. However, Mrs. Lan Ning is worthy of being crowned Gusu.
There has never been a woman who instantly turned into a fierce man with one look at him.
The young man smiled and said: "It has been three years. Who solved the riddle of Mrs. Lan Ning and who was punished. The most interesting thing was last year. A talented man from Yangzhou solved the riddle. In the end, he couldn't guess it and was punished naked. My body ran from Lumen to Panmen."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "With such a bad taste, Mrs. Lan Ning is quite naughty."
Another young man next to him laughed and said, "It's funny. There were dozens of people accompanying this talented man from Yangzhou all the way, holding lamps for him. He couldn't hide the thing between his legs even if he wanted to, hahaha."
When Xia Er heard this, she couldn't help but blush.
Xie Fu smiled and said: "Is the punishment the same this year?"
"Ms. Lan Ning also took pity on me. This year is a little different. Although I was punished by running from Lumen to Panmen, I was given clothes to wear."
Xie Fu heard this and said loudly: "How come such a punishment means everyone is afraid of life and death? Let me guess. If I can't guess, I will run from Lumen to Qimen, which is more than twice the distance."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
