Chapter 177

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there will be lanterns, and every family will have the most reunion. Today is the day of eating Lantern Festival, and the most prosperous streets in the capital are decorated with lights and festoons. There are lanterns, charades, and juggling, all in all it is very lively.

But Ling Muer's family was very busy in the three-story restaurant in the center of the downtown.

That's right, tomorrow is the opening day of her western restaurant, and tonight is the busiest time. All the tables, chairs, benches, and the display of items have been carefully studied by her, and she even called all the servants and cooks in Ling's restaurant to help.

The restaurant has three floors. Because it is in the downtown area, no chairs can be placed at the entrance. The first floor is designed as a leisure bar for one person or diners who simply drink afternoon tea. The second floor was designed by her as a unique and elegant room, each room has a different style. On the third floor, she designed an open-air sky garden, surrounded by flowers sewn with brocade, surrounded by clusters of flowers, as if you were in a flower bush.

Ling Muer chose an extremely gentle name for the western restaurant - Huahaoyueyuan.

At the moment, Ling Muer is training two troupes in the sky garden on the third floor.

Since it is going to be a hit, it must be different. She asked Princess Chaoyang to help find two the best theater troupes in the capital. After her improvement, one was responsible for performing cross talk sketches, and the other was younger, male and female. Sing and dance.

These people are very smart, and it's only the third day of rehearsal today, so they all look good.

"Congratulations to Boss Ling on the re-opening of his new store. Miss Ling, this is a congratulatory gift from my father. My father said that we will have a reunion on the 15th tonight. I would like to invite you to put the lanterns on."

Zitong and Yintong held two high-quality emeralds and put them on the stage respectively, with a note hanging above them.

"The peach blossom pond in front of the Peach Blossom Residence, the scenery is very beautiful tonight, I specially invite Miss Ling to meet you, and I will wait for you."

It was still the vigorous handwriting, Ling Muer smiled, but still returned the letter to Zitong.

"I've accepted the gift, thank you Xiaojun Wang for me, but I'm too busy here and I can't get away, let him go back."

Guessing what Ling Mu'er would say, Zitong hurriedly bent over, "Girl, my grandfather said that if you don't go, he won't leave. He can afford to wait for the long night."

Yintong also followed Zitong's example and bowed at ninety degrees, "Girl, my grandfather also said that this house was snatched from a few merchants. The girl should be grateful, and she should also be rewarded."

This chorus made it impossible for her to refuse coldly.

I have to admit that the restaurant was found really well. In the overcrowded downtown area, the left side is close to the imperial city, and the right side is full of merchants and aristocrats. This kind of location took only one day to win. I have to say that Su Ce is among them How much work has been done, how many methods and favors have been used.

"Forget it, can't I go?"

I was really worried that if she didn't go, the two of them would have been bending over and waiting for the whole night. Ling Muer hurried out after explaining to her parents.

Lanterns are set off on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the girls passing by are holding large or small lanterns in their hands. It is said that going to the Peach Blossom Pond today to set off lanterns to make a wish is very spiritual. what about work.

Looking at the lamps in the hands of the girls, Ling Muer couldn't help thinking of Shangguan Shaochen.

If Eldest Brother was in the capital today, he would definitely ask her out to set off lanterns, what wish would Eldest Brother make?

I don't know if my eldest brother has reached the border right now? How many enemies have been killed, have they been injured, why hasn't a single letter been sent back?

Standing on the arch bridge, Ling Muer's pretty face was flushed red by the lanterns by the pool, looking at the women who were lighting up the lights below, each one was as beautiful as peaches and plums, with shy eyes, Ling Muer couldn't help feeling jealous.

"For you."

A demon-like voice came from the side of the ear, and a hand with clear bones was holding a cat lantern. This cat is lazily lying on the lotus flower, stretching out its sharp claws in a docile way, it is so lifelike.

Along the way, this lamp is the most peculiar.

"Cat? For me?"

Su Ce nodded, "Aren't you a cat, you look docile, but your claws are very sharp."

He pointed to a unique open space in the southeast, "Today, all the women in the capital will come to put up lanterns. No matter their family background, no matter how old or young, they can make a wish for their loved ones, or pray for their family members. It's very spiritual. Let's try it." try?"

Peach Blossom Pond, as the name suggests, is composed of peach blossoms, and there are peach blossom trees all around the pool.

This huge pool was surrounded by people, but there was only one corner that was empty, with two guards standing guard on one side, one on the left, and the other on the right. Whenever anyone approached, without saying a word, they would just show their swords around their waists and come. People fled in a hurry.

Ling Mu'er mocked lightly, "The little prince never thought about it, what if I don't come to the appointment tonight, what should I do?"

"I've helped you so much, you will come no matter what happens. Besides, even if you really don't come, they will stay here to guard the lanterns for three days. I will wait with them."

"If you want to say that, there is no way to talk today."

Pretend to go. Su Ce hurriedly blocked her way, "After all, Shangguan Shaochen fought the enemy bravely on the front line for the safety of the people, so why don't you light a lamp for him to pray for blessings?"

Well, that makes sense.

Ling Mu'er raised her eyebrows, took the pen and paper handed over by Su Ce, and wrote down who to pray for, only the goddess in the sky would know who to bless.

"No peeking."

Like a child, Ling Muer deliberately blocked Su Ce's line of sight, bowed her body and wrote seriously, "May the Goddess please bless Shangguan Shaochen for a safe trip, and come back triumphantly, and die with me."

Su Ce looked at her earnestly writing, shook his head and turned around with a smile, and Zitong, who came over in time, handed it over with a flying eagle lantern.

"Grandpa, you never put up lanterns before."

It seems that he is really too used to these servants on weekdays, how dare he make fun of him?

"Get out." Su Ce gave him a warning look, walked to the desk on the other side, and after glancing at Ling Muer, he wrote a few large characters: May all of Ling Muer's wishes come true.

"Hey, I didn't expect that the handsome and suave little county king also likes girls' things?"

When Ling Muer turned around, she saw Su Ce standing by the pool holding a lantern, as if she had been waiting for a long time.

"Although there are many women putting on this lantern, who stipulates that men can't put it on? Today is the Lantern Festival, and the king of this county wants to make a fortune." He pointed to the lantern in her hand, "What wish did you make?"

"I won't tell you."

Carefully put the lantern in the pool, maybe the Goddess Goddess really appeared, the calm pool just now slowly floated up after receiving the lantern, and soon swam to the center of the pool. Ling Muer immediately clasped her hands together and made another wish.

The moonlight reflected Ling Mu'er's side face with tender pink alluringly, making one couldn't help but want to kiss her.

Su Ce watched quietly, and at the same time she closed her eyes and made a wish, she also sent out her own lantern, and said silently in her heart: Goddess, I never believe in ghosts and gods, but this time you must manifest a spirit.

"Did the king of Xiaojun bring other girls to set off lanterns before?"

Now that it's out, simply sit here and enjoy the scenery. The moonlight is beautiful and the scenery is charming. Although the person beside her is not the person she likes, Ling Muer is in a good mood, and the corners of her lips always have a nice curve.

The eyebrows and eyes are curved, comparing the moon in the sky.

"The most indispensable thing for this king is women. Well, if you calculate carefully, you should be the eighteenth." He deliberately fiddled with his fingers, as if he was joking, but he seemed to be serious.

Ling Muer curled her lips and gave him a supercilious look.

Zitong's pupils dilated behind her, "Master, you never get close to the girl, when did you let the girl off the lantern?"

The lie just made up was exposed so quickly, Su Cejun's face flashed with embarrassment, and he stood up suddenly, "Why don't you get out, since you are so free, how about staying here to pick up lanterns?"

Zitong was terrified when she heard that, she hurriedly shrank her neck and trot away, Ling Muer rarely saw Su Ce's embarrassment, and laughed from ear to ear.

"You're so happy to see this king in embarrassment?"

In the face of the servants, he is cruel, but in the face of Ling Muer, he is uncontrollably gentle.

Su Ce was sitting by the pool, with one hand on his bent knee, looking sideways at Ling Muer, affectionately.

In the distance, Lan Qianying looked at everything in front of her, gnashing her teeth with hatred.

"Damn it, didn't Brother Ce say that he didn't have time? He was with that bitch?" Seeing the two of them talking and laughing, she stomped her feet angrily.

"Miss, don't get angry. This Ling Mu'er has a fiancé and seduces the little county king. It's really low." The servant hurriedly supported her body, "Miss, since the little county king is here, we can go there too. Tell him your wish, and the little prince will definitely be moved."

Lan Qianying paused, did she really want to go there? But early in the morning, when she sent someone to invite Brother Ce, he said that the mansion is so busy today that there is really no time, but she would not be reconciled if he couldn't go there.

After much deliberation, I decided to try my luck.

"Brother Ce, why are you here? Qianying has been waiting for you for a long time."

Regardless of the guard's obstruction, Lan Qianying rushed over to sit beside Su Ce, "Didn't Brother Ce ask me to meet in the west? Could it be that the servant made the wrong message, damn it."

Su Ce frowned, looking at the woman in front of him with extreme annoyance, and was about to coax her to leave, when Ling Muer had already got up, "Since the little county king has invited a beautiful woman, Muer will not bother you, I hope you two have a good time tonight."

After saying that, Ling Muer quickly left with her skirt in her hand. Su Ce hurriedly grabbed her wrist, wanting to explain, but was afraid of embarrassing her. After all, they had different identities.

"Tomorrow I will go to cheer for you."

Very reluctantly let go of her hand.

Ling Mu'er still pursed her lips, and her smile was even brighter than before, "Okay, then Mu'er is waiting for the arrival of the little county king."

Without looking at Lan Qianying the whole time, Ling Muer disappeared from sight.

Lan Qianying was in a good mood when she saw this, "Brother Ce, guess what my wish is? It has something to do with you."

Su Ce's passionate eyes gradually dimmed, and when he looked at Lan Qianying again, it became sharp and cold.

With a big wave of his hand, he embraced the maidservant beside her in his arms, hooking the maidservant's shoulder like a proud uncle, "If what the king of this county said last time was not clear enough, I don't mind saying it again, I would rather accept it." I will not want you if I take the slaves around you as my concubine, "

After the words fell, she pushed away the body of the maidservant, and turned around ruthlessly.

"The night is long, let's play by ourselves."
