Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 475. Mask
Tonight in the capital, almost half of the people were on the move!
People flocked to the streets to watch the "Exorcism Show", various cool acrobatic performances, and various lanterns.

Although the lanterns only come into bloom on the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month, lantern viewing has already started in some areas of the city.

For example, here on the Qinhuai River.

This place has always been the most prosperous place in the capital, with silk and bamboo singing and dancing, the fragrance of makeup and powder, the scenery of Qinhuai, lights like a sea, literary and colorful poetry, and poetry gatherings are held almost every day.

So tonight, the Qinhuai River is the most lively and prosperous place in the capital!
Although other places in the capital are also quite lively, they are far inferior to those along the Qinhuai River. Most people who have the conditions will come here to have fun.

Appreciate the scenery, appreciate the lanterns, watch various acrobatic performances, taste various snacks and more!
"Wow, husband, look, they've all started!"

As soon as Zhu Xiuyuan and the others passed Wende Bridge and came to Chaoku Street, they saw an open space in the middle of the street, where a group of people were walking and performing.

Everyone looked around and saw that walking in the front were more than a dozen musicians, dressed in weird costumes, like wizards, playing music and drums, walking slowly along the street.

The melody of this kind of music is very strange. It is very different from what Zhu Xiuyuan has heard in the past. It has an ancient flavor and an exotic feel...

However, this strange tune is so harmonious and pleasant to the ears in the capital city on New Year's Eve, on this crowded street.

It seems that this kind of music should be played tonight.

This kind of strange music is called "Nuo music".

After the musicians, followed by more than 20 dancers.

They wore wizard-like ghost masks and clothes that looked like ancient tribal times. They danced in weird ways, as if they were performing witchcraft or performing a great dance!
This strange dance is called "Nuo dance".

Just like "Nuo music", although these "Nuo dances" are weird, they seem so suitable tonight.

It seems that this actually adds a new year flavor to New Year's Eve.

"Husband, husband, I can't see it. There are many people in front of me blocking it, so I can't see it..."

"Nuo music" and "Nuo dance" were performed while walking in the middle of the street, walking slowly, but as time passed by, they would always pass this section of the street.

Once they pass, they may not be able to see it.

So Dong Shuzhen is impatient.

She was relatively short, and even though she stood on tiptoes, she still couldn't see her.

Seeing that "Nuo Music" and "Nuo Dance" were less than halfway through, Dong Shuzhen became more and more anxious. She jumped up and down, but if she jumped up, she would always fall back to the ground.

"Don't worry, madam, I will carry you on my husband's back!"

Seeing her anxious little look, Zhu Xiuyuan felt very pitiful, so he knelt down and prepared to look at her while carrying her behind his back.

Dong Shuzhen was immediately overjoyed and climbed onto Zhu Xiuyuan's back happily.

Although the street was crowded with people, to be honest, Zhu Xiuyuan had to squat down, and then Dong Shuzhen came over and climbed on his back. This operation was actually very difficult.

Because there were too many people, it was impossible to squat down.

However, Zhu Xiuyuan and the others were surrounded by many members of their own family, creating a small circle, which was much more convenient...

"Madam, are you ready? My husband is getting up."

Zhu Xiuyuan held her legs with both hands, feeling that his hands were slender and tight.

Dong Shuzhen has been practicing martial arts for many years, so she must be in good shape...well...except for that unsightly airport.

"Get ready, husband, get up quickly!"

"it is good!"

Zhu Xiuyuan used his back, legs and feet to work together, carrying Dong Shuzhen on his back, and slowly stood up.

Dong Shuzhen's figure is so petite. She is carried on Zhu Xiuyuan's back, but her head is almost as high as Zhu Xiuyuan's!

She stretched out her hands in front of Zhu Xiuyuan, hugged him tightly, and then leaned her head towards him, her chin almost resting on Zhu Xiuyuan's shoulder.

Zhu Xiuyuan felt his right ear feel warm and tight, but it was Dong Shuzhen who pressed against him.

Ears and temples grind together.

He could even feel the smoothness and warmth of Dong Shuzhen's chubby little face.

"Miss, can you see it now?"

Zhu Xiuyuan smiled and looked sideways, only to see Dong Shuzhen staring blankly at the street in front of her, her eyes wide open and unblinking, her mouth slightly open, with a look of shock she had never seen before.

"I saw it, I saw it...it turns out that the 'Exorcist Opera' is like this. It is indeed very interesting..."

"Hey husband, look at their masks, they are so fun. Later we will also make one to wear and play with..."

Zhu Xiuyuan's face turned slightly dark, and he twitched the corner of his mouth slightly: "That mask is so ferocious, I'm afraid it will scare people if you take it home. What's so fun about it?"

As time goes by, the "Driving Nuo Opera" slowly passes through this section of the street, getting further and further away.

However, the entire "Driving Nuo Opera" team, including musicians and dancers, only has more than 30 people in total, which is too few and not enough to watch.

So after them, there was a long series of various acrobatic performances, whether they were breathing fire or playing monkeys, they were so interesting that Dong Shuzhen watched them with gusto.

Moreover, she would express emotion or scream from time to time, making Zhu Xiuyuan dumbfounded.

Unknowingly, the entire long series of "street performances" passed by, and the open space in the middle of the street was instantly filled with people on both sides...

"Madam, they have gone far, please let me down for my husband." Zhu Xiuyuan turned his head and said.

"Um... Husband, wait a moment." Dong Shuzhen lay on his back, her chin completely resting on his shoulder, and their faces were very close to each other.

Her voice was carefree, like a cat meowing, and she seemed a little asleep... In short, she liked the feeling of being carried on her back, and she didn't want to get down yet.

"Um... Madam, my husband can hardly carry her back anymore." Zhu Xiuyuan's face turned slightly hot.

"Oh, then come down here, concubine."

Dong Shuzhen jumped off Zhu Xiuyuan's back with a slight leap.

"Since your husband is tired, why not... I will carry you on my back." Dong Shuzhen suggested seriously.

"No, how can this be..."

Zhu Xiuyuan waved his hands repeatedly. If he really lay on her back in public and let her carry him while walking, it would be weird if he didn't get watched and pointed at.

This kind of thing is not necessary.

Next, Yan Dashan and others protected Zhu Xiuyuan and the others as they walked along the Qinhuai River, admiring the scenery along the river, eating all kinds of delicious street snacks, and feeling the bustling hustle and bustle on the street... which was quite pleasant.

They walked and played all the way. In addition to eating non-stop, when they saw interesting things, several women rushed over and yelled. When they saw something interesting, they spent money to buy it.

Not long after that, the hands of Yan Dashan’s brothers were no longer empty...

Suddenly, they passed a mask stand.

The masks on this stall are very rich, including animal ones, mythological ones, cute ones, scary ones, there are so many types!

In addition, there are also the same masks worn by the dancers in the "Driving Nuo Opera" just now.

It's the kind that Dong Shuzhen clamored to make at home and wear and play with, which is a bit scary.

When Dong Shuzhen saw the mask stall, she couldn't walk, and dragged Zhu Xiuyuan to the stall.

"Hey, what do you gentlemen need? The masks at this stall are rich in variety and have everything you need..."

The vendor warmly entertained him, because he saw that Dong Shuzhen's gaze had been fixed on the mask of the same style as the dancer of the "Exorcism Opera", so the enthusiastic vendor took it off and handed it over: "This is the mask." This young lady has really good taste. This mask is a special mask for the "Exorcist Opera"..."

Dong Shuzhen swallowed her saliva, her big eyes were shining, crystal clear, staring at the mask on the vendor's hand, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but grin.

Subconsciously, she stretched out her hands to catch the mask.

Zhu Xiuyuan was speechless. He really didn't know why a little girl like Dong Shuzhen liked such ghostly things. Even when he saw it, he panicked.

Shouldn't a little girl like Dong Shuzhen be scared to death and scream?

Snapped!
Zhu Xiuyuan knocked her hand away.

"Husband?"

Dong Shuzhen looked sideways at him, feeling very aggrieved, with stars twinkling in her eyes, as if tears were welling up in her eyes.

"We don't want this, how much is that?"

Zhu Xiuyuan ignored Dong Shuzhen's pity and pointed to another mask at the mask vendor. It looked like a tabby cat. It was very beautiful and had a cute girlish style.

This is the type of woman Dong Shuzhen’s age group should like!
"Not expensive, only ten cents!" The vendor put away the ghost mask and then took off the mask of the civet cat.

"Da Shan, give me the money!" Zhu Xiuyuan took the civet cat mask, handed it to Dong Shuzhen, and said with a smile: "Madam, this is just right for you."

"Oh, okay!" Dong Shuzhen took the mask with both hands, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.

At this time, Yan Dashan had already paid the money, so Zhu Xiuyuan immediately dragged Dong Shuzhen away.Although Dong Shuzhen got the civet cat mask, she still couldn't forget the ghost mask. She was dragged away by Zhu Xiuyuan, but she still looked back...

Everyone continued to walk forward, and after a while, Dong Shuzhen let go of Zhu Xiuyuan's hand, and got together with Xia Wu and Qiu Wen behind them, chatting and stealing glances at Zhu Xiuyuan from time to time.

Zhu Xiuyuan didn't pay attention to this. He probably thought they were talking about some topics between girls.

Everyone was walking on the street. Suddenly, a sedan appeared beside them. It was decorated very beautifully. Two strong men carried it one behind the other, swaying side by side with Zhu Xiuyuan and the others.

Zhu Xiuyuan turned his head and glanced. Judging from the decoration of the sedan, he must be thinking that there must be a woman in the sedan.

Moreover, around the sedan chair, there are also many plainclothes people guarding it. Obviously, the identity of the person in this sedan chair should not be simple.

Also, the street was so crowded and so crowded that she ended up going shopping in a sedan chair...

This person either has an abnormal brain circuit.

Either he is really powerful and dares to "go against the will of heaven" without caring about the crowds on the street.

Between the two, Zhu Xiuyuan chose to believe the latter.

So who is in this sedan?
Zhu Xiuyuan thought for a second, then stopped thinking about this question... Did he think too much?It doesn't matter who it is, as long as it doesn't get in his way and doesn't provoke him.

"Husband..."

When everyone came to a place, Dong Shuzhen suddenly caught up with them, her face slightly red and a little nervous.

"Miss?"

"Husband, just behind there, I saw... saw a shop selling... women's clothes, and I wanted to... want to take a look." Dong Shuzhen said intermittently.

"Oh, then you go, bring a few more people, and pay attention to safety!" Zhu Xiuyuan nodded.

Dong Shuzhen hurriedly agreed, pulled Qiu Wen and Xia Wu, and brought a few more people, and walked back excitedly.

When they went to buy women's clothes, Zhu Xiuyuan naturally needed to avoid them.

So he stood there and watched Dong Shuzhen and the others walk back. After walking about five or six feet, they turned around and entered a shop.

Zhu Xiuyuan recalled that there seemed to be a shop there that specialized in selling women's clothing...

He was just remembering, but he didn't notice that the sedan that was traveling with them had stopped, and it was no more than three or four feet away from Zhu Xiuyuan.

Because there are too many people on the street and it is difficult to keep a distance, so no one will feel inappropriate.

Zhu Xiuyuan waited on the spot, looking past the crowds of people and focusing on the shop five or six feet away.

Suddenly, Zhu Xiuyuan noticed something was wrong. He saw three women, crouching and blocking his side with their hands, and quickly ran to the back.

Zhu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment.

That's right, those women in cat clothes are none other than Dong Shuzhen's three masters and servants.

They blocked his direction with their hands, did they think he couldn't see him?

It's like trying to find a sword.

Zhu Xiuyuan was about to ask someone to go and see what was going on. Suddenly he saw Dong Shuzhen and the other three going to the mask stall...

Zhu Xiuyuan understood everything immediately.

They said they were going to buy women's clothes, so they used this as an excuse to get rid of him, and then went to the mask stall to buy her favorite ghost mask!
Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Suddenly, a crowd surged between him and the mask stall, and several tall people appeared, blocking his view.

Zhu Xiuyuan needed to keep an eye on their movements, so he moved left and right to find the best observation point and avoid those tall people.

For some reason, Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly took a few steps in the direction of the sedan chair without looking at the road, and there was only a foot or so away from the sedan chair.

Zhu Xiuyuan raised his head and looked up, not realizing that he was so close to the sedan.

Suddenly, two snow-white hands came out of the sedan, grabbed Zhu Xiuyuan's belt, and pulled him back hard.

He actually wanted to drag Zhu Xiuyuan into the sedan chair.

Zhu Xiuyuan screamed strangely, and his body lost balance. It was a huge force, and he had no way to resist.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Xiuyuan's entire upper body was "planted" into the sedan.

Only below the waist, it was still outside. He kicked and kicked around, but he still couldn't avoid the tendency of being dragged in.

"Emperor!"

Yan Dashan reacted immediately.

He yelled and lunged forward, he was really frightened.

Yan Dashan rushed over, grabbed one of Zhu Xiuyuan's legs, and then leaned forward fiercely, putting his head into the sedan, preparing to risk his life to rescue his benefactor.

However, Yan Dashan plunged into it, and when he saw it clearly, his whole body suddenly stiffened and froze there.

I saw my benefactor resting his head on a woman's lap. The woman was holding my benefactor down so that he could not move.

And this woman is not the gangster Yan Dashan expected, she is... her benefactor Kou Wanwan.

Although she was covered with gauze, Yan Dashan recognized her as Kou Wanwan.

Yan Dashan was a kind man. Seeing this, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he was frozen there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

At the same time, Zhu Xiuyuan also saw clearly that the person dragging him was actually Kou Wanwan!

Therefore, Zhu Xiuyuan remained motionless, as if he hadn't reacted yet, what was going on?

The person in this sedan is actually Kou Wanwan?

Kou Wanwan wore a gauze mask, but it was difficult to hide her stunning appearance. She glared and scolded Yan Dashan softly: "Aren't you going out yet?"

Yan Dashan was trembling all over and couldn't help but look at Zhu Xiuyuan. After Zhu Xiuyuan nodded, Yan Dashan slowly backed away.

"Take care of the wind outside!"

In the process of retreating, Zhun Enmu Kou Wanwan gave another instruction.

With mixed feelings in his heart, Yan Dashan responded smoothly: "Yes", and then he completely exited the sedan.

After the benefactor's entire lower body was retracted into the sedan, he also covered the corner that was not tightly covered.

Then he bulged his eyes and looked around, looking for the wind.

In the sedan chair.

"Miss Kou, why are you here?" Zhu Xiuyuan lowered his voice.

"Young Master is so cruel. If it weren't for this, the slave family would not be able to see Young Master today..." Kou Wanwan was about to cry, looking pitiful, and leaned on his shoulder, taking off the gauze of the mask, and she was in the drama in one second. .

Zhu Xiuyuan said that his heart couldn't bear it.

"I've been busy these days, haha, but...don't worry, Miss Kou, I won't be so busy after New Year's Day, and I can take time to see you then."

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at the Zhen head leaning on his shoulder, and his heart fluctuated. Now he had a strong desire in his heart, that is, to love it properly.

First of all, no matter what, she was just a baby, and he always felt that he owed her something.

Secondly, the expression on her face was too pitiful, which aroused the protective desire in his heart.

Furthermore, this Kou Wanwan is truly stunning, with a face that is as beautiful as the sky. She is that kind of bright beauty, like the rising sun in spring, so bright that once you take a look at her, it is difficult to look away.

Due to various reasons, Zhu Xiuyuan's heart was already in a state of confusion, and he could not control himself.

"But the young master has not visited the slave family for more than ten days. Has the master forgotten the slave family mother and son?" Kou Wanwan whispered softly.

"How could I forget...Miss Kou, I am willing to make it up to you...you guys!" Zhu Xiuyuan still had a hard time accepting the fact that Kou Wanwan was pregnant with his flesh and blood.

"Well, sir, please compensate the slave family now."

"How to compensate?"

"kiss Me!"

Kou Wanwan opened her red lips lightly and slowly uttered these two words.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at her small cherry mouth that looked like peach petals, and his heart was filled with excitement, like a rising tide, drowning his reason.

Zhu Xiuyuan couldn't help but pinch her chin...
