Linxicheng is indeed worthy of being the Kyoto of Xiye. Xin Xiran took Yao Si and Qiu Zhan to the center of the city, and Yao Si finally realized what prosperity is.

In fact, after entering Beijing, except for a few days before entering school, she never came once. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the streets are even more different.

Although it was not yet New Year's Eve, the streets had already started to play drums, and people were wearing red colors. Children were wearing ghost masks and shuttled through the crowd, while adults kept chasing behind, for fear that the child would be lost.

The vendors on both sides of the street were wearing festive clothes, and red lanterns had been hung on the shops, and they just lit them when it was dark.

The performance of the juggling group was also very exciting, with people everywhere. Everyone applauded and threw a few copper coins into the copper basin.

As the sky gradually became darker, the lanterns were lit up by 6. At first glance, the streets were full of red lanterns hanging high.

The vendors shouted louder. The old man who sold candy sellers was surrounded by children, chattering and pointing at them. The mother-in-law who sold candy haws also followed a bunch of children, singing nursery rhymes with laughter.

What a prosperous and harmonious scene. Even if you are bystanders, you will not feel your smile appearing. Yao Si was infected by such emotions and the smile on his face has never stopped.

At this moment, the three of them finally became like children. In fact, they were only twelve, thirty or fourteen years old, just older than ordinary children. In such a lively and fun place, they naturally returned to their children's nature.

"Sister Yao, come, come, come, this looks good." Xin Xiran ran to a shop excitedly and pointed at a bunch of things on the stall.

Yao Si went over and saw that it was full of various gestures, earrings and hairpins, which looked good, but she couldn't use them now. She only glanced a few times and finally fell on a bamboo flute.

Although he had just stopped for a while, Xin Xiran still noticed it, and smiled and picked up the flute and said, "Boss, wrap this for me."

Yao Si hurriedly held his hand when he heard this: "If you want to buy it and give it to me, then I don't want it."

Xin Xiran was puzzled: "Don't you like it? This is not worth it. It's considered a New Year gift I gave you."

Yao Si's attitude was extremely firm: "No, I don't want it if you buy it, let alone-----I have it myself." Qiu Ji gave her a jade flute. When she was fine, she took it out and whispered. She couldn't find a way to find a way, but she was very happy.

Xin Xiran said oh, put down the flute and asked, "These things are pretty good, which one do you like?"

"Is it appropriate to wear gold and silver in the academy?" Yao Si smiled angrily, "I'll just take a look when I leave, and I don't like these beads."

Xin Xiran shrugged, "It's okay, I'll give you some good things in the future, it's okay if you don't want these."

Yao Si seemed to have not heard it, and her eyes were attracted by the mask shop opposite. She walked over with a smile, picked up a lady's mask, gestured to her face, and said to herself with a smile: "This mask looks good."

"It's not only good-looking, but also cheap. Please buy one, my mask is the cheapest on this street, only ten copper plates."

Yao Si was a little moved. She glanced at the shelf again and asked in confusion: "Is this mask a pair?"

The boss smiled and said, "The girl is smart. She has a pair and a young man's mask. She just bought it by a young man. Seeing that the young man is extremely handsome, she is definitely a phoenix among people. The girl might as well buy one. Maybe she can meet that young man, and it is also your fate."

Yao Si put down the mask again and shook his head.

The boss was anxious: "Girl, this is really the only mask on this street. It is different from others. If you wear it, you will definitely be outstanding."

"But you were originally sold by one pair, and I also wanted to buy a pair. Now there is only one, so I don't want it anymore." Yao Si said regretfully.

"What's wrong?" Xin Xiran followed from behind.

Yao Si shook his head: "It's nothing, let's go somewhere else."

When the boss saw that she was about to leave, he immediately compromised and said, "In this way, the eight copper plates will belong to you. What? This is indeed sold by a pair. I can only buy one of the young masters, and I can't do anything."

Yao Si hesitated for a moment, finally picked up the mask again, gestured at the bronze mirror, and smiled and said, "I bought it." Then he took out eight copper plates and handed them to the boss.

Xin Xiran quickly picked a man's mask on the shelf and asked Qiu Zhan to choose one too. Qiu Zhan chose the face of a child. The three of them brought the masks with them, looked at each other's funny mask and laughed in a flash.

The boss counted the copper coins and confirmed that it was right. He smiled and bowed and said goodbye, watching Yao Si and the other two leave.

Although there were singing and laughing in my ears, I seemed to have become an outsider through a layer of mask. Those voices sounded so unreal, and the confusion and prosperity in front of me seemed to have nothing to do with me.

Yao Si put down the corner of his mouth, and the joy he had just passed away in an instant. For some reason, she always felt empty in her heart, as if something was missing, but she didn't understand what was missing.

"Sister Yao----Sister Yao?" Xin Xiran shook his hands in front of Yao Si's eyes, staring at her strangely, "What's wrong?"

Although I couldn't see it through the mask, Yao Si still smiled: "What's wrong?"

"Oh, it's okay, I just asked if you want to eat Jixiangju or Baocuilou."

Qiu Zhan quickly said, "Jixiangju, Jixiangju."

Yao Si nodded: "Then let's go to Jixiangju."

Xin Xiran gave Qiu Zhan a angrily glance: "Jixiangju is not as good as Baocuilou." In fact, he wanted to take Yao Si to Baocuilou. Although these two families are not as good as each other in terms of taste, the decoration of Baocuilou is more suitable for young people, especially for young men and girls. In comparison, Jixiangju is too serious.

"Then let's go to Jixiangju." Xin Xiran finally compromised.

Jixiangju is a famous restaurant in Beijing. It is crowded on weekdays. For example, in recent days, the academy has almost suspended classes. The shadows of students can be seen everywhere in the wine shops, gambling halls and even kilns in Beijing. When the three of them came to Jixiangju, they actually saw people waiting outside the door.

Seeing this, Yao Si and Qiu Zhan looked at each other and understood the meaning from each other's eyes. Yao Si said, "Let's go and eat a bowl of sanitary Chaos. I don't know how long it will take to wait here, but I'm already hungry and my chest is pressed against my back."

When Xin Xiran heard this, she thought she was so hungry that she felt so uncomfortable, so she hurriedly comforted her: "Hold on, I'll go find the shopkeeper. He knows me and asks him to arrange a private room for him."

Yao Si originally wanted to stop him, but Xin Xiran had already stepped into the threshold, so she and Qiu Zhan had to follow him.

The shopkeeper knew Xin Xiran. When he saw him, he immediately raised his waist and smiled, bowed and said, "Young Master Xin hasn't come to the small shop for a long time. The small shop has recently released several new dishes. You can sit in the private room, and the younger one immediately asked someone to prepare the dishes."

Xin Xiran raised eyebrows at the two of them, with a proud look on her face that she deserved a beating.

The three of them were about to go upstairs when they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them: "Wait."

When the few people looked back, they were four young men. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes and looked like they were also from the family of high-ranking officials and nobles. However, the four of them were now glaring at Xin Xiran, Yao Si and Qiu Zhan.

"Shopkeeper, didn't you just say there was no space? Why are you still bringing people with you now?"

The shopkeeper's heart tightened and hurriedly bowed with a smile: "There was no private room just now, but someone just went out, and Young Master Xin took his friends to have dinner. Isn't this a coincidence?"
