There was a horse at the foot of the mountain, which made Bei Yutang a little confused.
This place is really far away.
Amidst the mountains and fields, a fine horse galloped past in the moonlight. Bei Yutang nestled in his arms. With his protection, she didn't feel a trace of coldness.
"drive!"
In the silent fields, the chirping of insects and the sound of horses' hooves intertwine like a beautiful nocturne.
After walking a long way, the two arrived at the town closest to Nanshan. Bei Yutang didn't expect that the whole town was bustling with people. There were lights and decorations everywhere, and the sound of hawking was endless.
Jugglers can be seen everywhere, and the streets are bustling with people coming and going.
It had been so long since I'd seen something like this, and at that moment, Bei Yutang felt a little nostalgic. Although he had seen the dazzling lights of the modern world, it was nothing like the authentic atmosphere of this place.
Bei Yutang walked past many stalls, looking here and there, and came to a mask stall. She picked up a red fox mask, put it on her face, and smiled at him.
"Does it look good?"
That pure and clean smile struck his heart without any warning.
"It looks good." His eyes darkened.
Bei Yutang found a silver mask from the stall and put it on his face, "You look good in this."
"Madam, you have really good taste. This is the best-looking one on my stall. This mask is a perfect pair." The white-haired old man said with a smile.
Xiao Yan took out a silver ingot from his pocket and gave it to the boss.
"Sir, this silver bill is too big. I can't make the change." The old man said with difficulty.
"No need to look for it." Xiao Yan said indifferently.
"That's not possible. I will only charge what I should charge. How can I charge you more than you deserve?" The old man waved his hands repeatedly.
Five taels of silver can buy the entire stall.
Bei Yutang looked at the old man in his pudding-like clothes. He knew he was still selling things at a stall at his age, which showed that his family was not well off. Now that such a sum of money had fallen from the sky, he was not tempted at all, but instead stuck to his principles.
This made Bei Yutang admire the old man very much.
Bei Yutang said, "We didn't bring any loose change with us, and we really like these two masks. How about we find another way to pay for the remaining money?"
The old man asked curiously, "What method?"
"I have a few questions. If you can answer them, I will give you the remaining silver. It won't be considered as getting something for nothing. What do you think?" Bei Yutang asked in a negotiating tone.
The old man thought about it and had no other options, "Okay."
"What festivals are being celebrated in your town?" Bei Yutang asked.
"It's the Lantern Festival. However, this Lantern Festival is being held for the first time," the old man said truthfully. "Although this Lantern Festival is the first of its kind, it's also strange."
"Strange? Why?" Bei Yutang immediately became interested when he heard there was a story here.
"This Lantern Festival is being organized by Mr. Wang, the richest man in our town. I heard his eighteenth concubine gave birth to a big fat boy, so he wanted to have some fun. So he organized this Lantern Festival. He was worried no one would come, so he specifically said anyone who came could collect ten cents at his house."
"There is such a good thing." This was the first time Bei Yutang heard of inviting people to the Lantern Festival.
It is true that there is nothing strange in the world.
"Then can we also go and collect the money?" Bei Yutang asked with a smile.
"sure."
