[QTC] MBDT Chapter 234

There was a horse at the foot of the mountain, which made Bei Yutang a little confused.

The place where he dares to go is far away.

In the mountains and fields, a horse flew by in the moonlight. Bei Yutang was nestled in his arms, protected by him, and could not feel the slightest chill.

“Drive!”

In the silent fields, the chirping of insects and the sound of horse hooves intertwined together, like a beautiful nocturne.

After walking all the way, the two of them arrived at the town closest to Nanshan. To Bei Yutang’s surprise, the whole town was bustling with people. There were lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, and the sound of hawking was endless.

Jugglers could be seen everywhere, and the streets were bustling with people coming and going.

It had been a long time since she had seen such a situation, so Bei Yutang felt a little nostalgic at this moment. Although she had seen the bright lights of the modern world, it was not as authentic as the one here.

Bei Yutang walked through many stalls, looking here and there. When she came to a mask stall, she picked up a red fox mask and put it on her face, smiling brightly at him.

“Does it look good?”

That pure, clean smile hit his heart without warning.

“Good-looking.” His eyes darkened.

Bei Yutang found a silver mask from the stall and put it on his face, “You look good wearing this.”

“Madam, you are really discerning. This one is the most beautiful in the little old man’s stall. This mask is just the right pair.” The gray-haired old man said with a smile.

Xiao Yan took out a piece of silver from his pocket and gave it to the stall’s owner.

“Sir, this money is too much. I can’t find the change.” The old man said with a look of embarrassment on his face.

“No need to look for the change.” Xiao Yan said nonchalantly.

“That can’t be done. The little old man will charge as much as he should. How can he charge more money from the Young Master?” The old man waved his hands repeatedly.

Five taels of silver can buy his entire stall.

Bei Yutang looked at the old man who was wearing pudding clothes. He was still setting up a stall at this age, which showed that his family was not wealthy. Now that such a sum of money fell from the sky, he was not tempted at all but stuck to his principles.

This made Bei Yutang admire this old man very much.

Bei Yutang said: “We didn’t bring loose silver with us when we came out. We really like these two masks. How about you pay us for the remaining money in another way?”

The old man asked curiously: “In what way?”

“I have a few questions. If you can answer them, I’ll give you the rest of the money. It’s not like getting something for nothing. What do you think?” Bei Yutang asked in a negotiating tone.

The old man thought for a moment and had no other options, “Okay.”

“What festival is being celebrated in your town?” Bei Yutang asked.

“The Lantern Festival. However, this is the first time that the Lantern Festival has been held.” The old man said truthfully, “Although this is the first time for the Lantern Festival, it is also strange.”

“Strange? How to say it?” Bei Yutang suddenly became interested when she heard that there was a story here.

“This Lantern Festival is organized by Wang Yuanwai, the richest man in our town. I heard that his concubine in the 18th room has given birth to a big fat boy for him, so it will be a lively event. So, he organized such a Lantern Festival. He was afraid that no one would come, so he specifically said that anyone who came could go to his house to receive ten cents.”

“There are such good things.” This was the first time that Bei Yutang heard about inviting people to the Lantern Festival.

It is true that there is no wonder in the world.

“Then, can we also go and get the money?” Bei Yutang asked with a smile.

“Of course.”
