    Linglong was wondering why Lin Xiao politely ordered the horse to stop. After a while, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a young Taoist priest with delicate features came up.

    Although the Tang Dynasty was tolerant and did not worry about the defense of men and women as much as the previous dynasties, there was no reason for men and women to ride in the same car.

    Linglong¡¯s face instantly darkened, and the maid next to her even yelled: ¡°Where did the Taoist priest come from, so abrupt, why don¡¯t you get down quickly!¡±

    Seeing this, Qin Yao opened her mouth to explain with a smile. Lin Xiao said from outside the car curtain: "Don't be alarmed. She is a distant cousin of Jiang Sanlang. She wanted to see the lanterns, so she dressed up as a Taoist priest. She was alone and with  We are going the same way, you can share a car.¡±

    Linglong was startled and quickly looked at the little Taoist priest carefully. She saw that her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her skin was as greasy as jade. Not only was she born as a girl, her appearance was not ordinary beautiful either.

    Recalling Lin Xiao¡¯s defense of this woman just now, Linglong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. After brewing for a while, Fang smiled and said: "Okay, cousin, Linglong understands."

    The carriage restarted. Linglong stood up and pulled Qin Yao to sit beside her. She smiled and said, "It turns out she is the cousin of the Duke's Mansion. She is so beautiful. You also came out to enjoy the flower lanterns. Why did you come out alone? You are not afraid."  Hanako kidnapped you?" He introduced himself with a smile: "My name is Linglong, what's yours?"

    "Call me Ayao." Qinyao sat down next to Linglong, took advantage of the opportunity to catch Linglong's hand and held it in her palm, and praised sincerely: "Sister Linglong is so beautiful." The corner of her eye fell on Linglong's snow-white wrist, which was very nice.  , the golden thread was a bit darker than when I saw it in the morning. If she was the second host, it was obvious that the poison in her body was ready to come out.

    Qinyao withdrew her gaze, raised her eyes and looked at Linglong and said, "Sister's accent sounds like she's not from Chang'an?"

    Linglong nodded: "I'm from Youzhou. It's my first time back to Chang'an. It's rare that there are lanterns in the city today, so I begged my cousin to take me out to have a look. By the way, I haven't asked my sister where the house is?"

    "I'm also temporarily staying in Duke Lu's Mansion." Qin Yao opened the curtain and looked out, inadvertently changing the subject and saying: "Sister Linglong, look, the street is so lively."

    Various kinds of colorful lanterns have been hung on both sides of the road. The streets are full of young men and women who come out to admire the lanterns. Vendors are shouting to attract business. There are longing figures in the restaurants. There are endless strings in the music studios. There are piles of gold and jade everywhere.

    This is the most prosperous Chang'an in the world. Linglong's eyes are hot and she admires in a low voice.

    Qin Yao watched secretly from the side, and just when she was about to speak, the carriage stopped, and Lin Xiao's voice sounded outside the curtain: "We haven't reached the moat yet, but there is a famous Chang'an band here. Bian Wen sings very well. How about that?"  Just get off the car here, listen to the music and then go."

    "Very good." Linglong responded happily, ordered the maid to lift the car curtain, and pulled Qinyao to stand up, "Let's get out of the car."

    There is a Taoran wine shop next to the street. The wine and food in the store are unique and the layout is very exquisite. The best thing is that the second floor faces the orchestra, with a wide view, making it an excellent place to listen to music.

    Lin Xiao led Linglong and Qinyao upstairs, chose a quiet private room, and the group sat down one by one.

    Although Chang Rong was Lin Xiao's close bodyguard, the two people present were both women from the boudoir. In order to avoid suspicion, he had to take a separate seat with other servants in the hall downstairs.

    Lin Xiao looked at Qin Yao and said, "Linglong and I came out after dinner. What about you, have you eaten?"

    Qinyao felt hungry at this moment. She stroked her belly and smiled sheepishly: "I haven't eaten yet, but I'm feeling hungry now."

    Lin Xiao then ordered the waiter to order. Thinking that Qin Yao was a Taoist and didn't know if there were any dietary taboos, he carefully ordered a few vegetarian dishes.  Just as the waiter was about to leave, Lin Xiao remembered that it would take some time to cook. He was afraid that Qinyao would be very hungry, so he stopped the waiter and added, "Bring some snacks over quickly."

    Qin Yao secretly praised Lin Xiao for his thoughtfulness, but Linglong had never seen such a considerate side of Lin Xiao. In the past, when the two met in the mansion, he was either taciturn or distant, and he had never been so kind and pleasant.  ?

    Her heart was trembling, but the smile on her face became even deeper: "I guess my cousin is a frequent visitor to this restaurant. He can even order food so smoothly. I don't know what other delicious and fun places are nearby. I guess my cousin will be able to order food in a while."  It would be nice to take Sister Ayao and I for a nice walk."

    It turned out that her name was A Yao. Lin Xiao looked at Qin Yao. He only knew that she was the daughter of Taishi Ling Qu Enze. She had been sick since she was a child and rarely appeared in front of relatives and friends. She was almost a shadow. He had no way of knowing her.  Her maiden name, let alone why she became a Taoist priest.

    Linglong waited for a long time but didn't get Lin Xiao's answer. Her face was a little confused. Qinyao caught a glimpse and hurriedly spoke out: "Although I rarely go out, I also know that there is a house nearby that makes the best cheese with fresh cherries.  , on weekdays there are manyThere is a long queue to buy it. The store is not far away, in Yongchun Lane next to it. Let's go buy something to try later?  "

    Linglong laughed hurriedly: "Yeah, it turns out you are also a Chang'an expert. That's great. My cousin doesn't pay attention to anyone. Just let him be. I will only pester you for a while. You can't find me annoying like my cousin."

    Lin Xiao picked up the wine cup and took a sip without answering.

    Linglong simply ignored him and pulled Qinyao to stand in front of the window, admiring the lanterns in the night.

    Opposite the orchestra has set up a stage in the middle of the street. The figures of the actors are vaguely reflected behind the curtain. The sound of music and drums slowly rises, indicating that the show is about to begin.

    As soon as the actor's thin and high voice appeared, everyone around him began to cheer. Today's song was "Conquering the Demons". Shariputra appeared on the stage wearing a ferocious mask, and fought with emptiness and demons in a majestic manner.  The singing was high-pitched, the tunes were endlessly changing, and the air was eerie and eerie.

    "Are you scared?" Linglong asked Qinyao in a low voice.

    Qinyao smiled and shook her head.

    "I don't like reading Bianwen very much. I remember I would have nightmares every time I read it when I was young." Linglong held Qinyao's hand tightly.

    She didn¡¯t know whether she was nervous or scared, but Qinyao felt a little pain from Linglong¡¯s long nails scratching her wrist.

    She calmly avoided Linglong¡¯s touch, and Linglong exclaimed, holding her hand tightly, looking out the window with a fearful look on her face and saying, ¡°The appearance of this Arhat is so scary.¡±

    Qin Yao's face turned cold, and she slowly but firmly took Linglong's hand away from her wrist.

    Linglong was startled and turned to look at Qin Yao. The original panic slowly faded away, and there were waves of unknown meaning in her eyes.

    Qin Yao looked at her silently, and after a while, someone came up from behind and said, "Last time, Jiang Sanlang told me that you were always timid and never dared to watch ghosts and ghosts transform into text. Why did you act so strong today?"  ." Lin Xiao said, calmly separating Qin Yao from Linglong.

    Linglong's eyes darkened, the corners of her mouth moved almost invisible, and she said with a smile: "I guess sister Ayao is like me. It's rare to go out for a walk, so I don't care about being afraid." She turned around and saw that the waiter had already piled up stacks of  When the snacks were presented, she hurriedly sighed with approval: "What a unique snack, I'm hungry again. Sister Ayao, come over and eat."

    Qinyao looked relaxed, smiled, walked to the table and sat down.

    While we were eating, the waiter presented a pot of hot Begonia wine and said with a smile: "This wine is called Begonia. It is brewed by the shopkeeper himself. It has a gentle temper and is not easy to get drunk. Even my daughter's house can drink it. You two ladies might as well."  Taste it.¡±

    Although Qin Yao is dressed like a Taoist priest, the waiters greet her all year round, and she has never seen anyone before. As early as when Qin Yao came in, she had already recognized her as a woman.

    Linglong put her hands on her hands and smiled and said: "Your shop owner is really a wonderful person. This wine smells good and suits me very well." She took the wine pot without any explanation, poured the wine for Lin Xiao and Qin Yao, and also filled it for herself.  The cup said: "Cousin, sister A-Yao, I came to Chang'an alone for the first time, and there were many things that were inappropriate. Fortunately, my cousin was very considerate, so I didn't make a joke. I feel like old friends with sister A-Yao again today. I'm really happy.  , come, let me toast you first."

    Her smile was sincere and her words were sincere. Qin Yao could not think of a reason to refuse. When she was in a dilemma, a slender white hand stretched out from beside her, took the wine cup and said: "A Yao has been weak since she was a child and has not been good at drinking. This cup  Let me drink the wine for her."

    Qin Yao turned her head to look at Lin Xiao in astonishment, and Linglong's face froze for a moment. For a moment, the room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

    Linglong's expression changed several times, and after a while, she managed to smile and said, "My cousin is so protective of Sister Ayao. If you don't know, I thought she was your biological cousin." After a pause, she saw Lin Xiao  His own cup was still untouched, and he said in a coquettish tone: "My cousin hasn't drunk his own cup yet."

    Lin Xiao smiled faintly and was about to raise his glass when there was a loud "whoosh" sound outside the window. There seemed to be countless meteors passing through the night sky, and in an instant, colorful lights appeared, as if they were real and illusory, extremely gorgeous.

    "It's fireworks -" Qin Yao exclaimed, holding Linglong up and walking to the window. The dark night sky was illuminated by the fireworks as bright as day. People around the stage were bewildered by the beautiful scenery in front of them. They all looked up in wonder and looked up. Only the actors on the stage  The ghost actor was not disturbed and continued to sing softly.
