Chapter 388: Sending Lanterns
Wen Yan looked at the back of the prince who turned away, and a little loss appeared on her face. Actually, she really wanted to come forward and ask if the prince was tired or something.
"Sister Gu, what are you talking about just now, why can't I understand?" Wen Yan looked at Gu Zhirong depressedly.
Just now, she didn't know why Gu Zhirong was so dignified and actually pulled the topic to the octagonal glass lantern, and she didn't understand why the prince suddenly turned around and left.
"It's nothing, I'll ask the prince to help find the lantern. Gu Zhirong said, "You see that we are trapped on the mountain, we must have hit an evil spirit." I remember that when I was keeping filial piety for my mother in the Hanging Ji Temple, I heard such a legend that the octagonal glass lamp had the miraculous effect of driving away evil, so I asked the prince to help find it and find a few such lanterns, so as to bless us with peace and security, and go down the mountain smoothly and return to the house. ”
Wen Yan said anxiously: "Sister Gu, it's all this time, why are you still so playful? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy, how can he have time to help you find any lanterns! Besides, if we want to find the lanterns, we can find them ourselves, why do we have to trouble His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Gu Zhirong hurriedly said: "Good sister, don't talk about me anymore, I just wanted to play tricks on the prince, I wanted to break him up, as soon as he appeared in front of me, I felt annoyed, so I found such an excuse to break him away." ”
Wen Yan asked in surprise, "Then did the prince listen to you?"
Gu Zhirong laughed dryly: "Of course it's impossible." So he went away angrily!"
Wen Yan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, but she still couldn't help but count Gu Zhirong: "Sister Gu." You can't do this again in the future, if you always tease the prince like this, the prince will have a bad impression of your Yuanning Marquis Mansion. In the future, it doesn't matter which of your sisters marries him. He wouldn't have a good face for her. ”
Gu Zhirong hurriedly said with a smile: "Good sister, I was wrong, I will never target the prince in the future." ”
As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person with a hand, Gu Zhirong was already very beautiful, carved in pink, and she flattered Wen Yan with such a big smile, and Wen Yan couldn't bear to count her down anymore. I only sighed in my heart and said: "I heard that the tutor of Yuanning Hou Mansion is excellent, and the young ladies in it are all well-groomed, why is this Miss Gu Wu so unstable." It's so important to play, maybe it's young, fatherless and motherless, and it's been free-range by those elders. That's what it looks like. Since I have a relationship with her. has experienced life and death together, if she can go out in the future, she must teach her well, so that she will not be delayed by the elders in the house with ulterior motives. ”
Where did Gu Zhirong think that Wen Yan's heart at this time was full of thoughts for her sake, and she pulled Wen Yan's hand and said, "Sister Wen, the hour is not early." Let's go in and make dinner, or else. It's too late. ”
Wen Yan nodded: "Okay." ”
Wen Yan really has leadership skills and high prestige, she divided the more than ten or twenty people in the third group into several groups, and each group appointed a small group leader, who was responsible for picking vegetables, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, lighting a fire, cleaning dishes and other tasks. Those delicate ladies knew that there was something delicious, and immediately no one cried out that they were tired, and they all ran to work happily, and they were several times more diligent than before.
Wen Yan was in charge of cooking, Gu Zhirong thought that his cooking skills were self-taught, of course, he couldn't compare to Wen Yan, a disciple taught by a royal chef, so he immediately withdrew and became Wen Yan's master.
When he was busy, someone outside ran in and said to Gu Zhirong, "Fifth Miss Gu, someone is looking for you outside." ”
Gu Zhirong thought in his heart, who is looking for himself at this juncture? While thinking about it, he wiped his hands clean, called an official lady to come over to replace him, and then went out to have a look.
Under a tree not far outside, Lu Xing was standing under the tree, carrying a lantern in his hand. The sky is a little dark, the lanterns are already lit, and the surrounding glass is very beautiful.
Seeing Gu Zhirong walk out, Lu Xing raised the lantern in his hand at her.
Gu Zhirong approached, and his eyes were glued to the lantern: "It's such a beautiful lantern, you took it from Senior Brother, right?"
Lu Xing looked at her with some surprise: "How did you know that he would have this kind of lantern there?"
Gu Zhirong smiled: "Of course I know. ”
For the senior brother, others may not know, but she knows best. He was the son of a carpenter, who specialized in making lanterns, especially glass lanterns. The elder brother's family was originally very solid, but later due to some things, his father was implicated, the store was closed, and his father was also seriously injured, and he died soon after. At that time, the senior brother was only seven or eight years old, but fortunately, Master Mingkong traveled there, so he took him back to Hangji Temple and accepted him as an apprentice.
The elder brother likes to make lanterns, especially glass lanterns, maybe this is a kind of longing for his deceased father, right?
He has been in his room for many years with materials to make lanterns, and even if you ask him for ten or eight of these lanterns now, he can make them in no time.
Lu Xing looked at her, his eyes unblinking.
Gu Zhirong was inexplicably looked at by him: "What's wrong with you today, why are you looking at me so hard, is there something on my face?"
Lu Xing took the lantern in his hand to her, and said with a faint sigh: "I have been following His Royal Highness the Prince, and I don't think I have ten percent or eighty percent understanding of His Royal Highness the Prince's temperament, but recently, I feel that I can't understand him more and more." ”
Gu Zhirong knew what he wanted to say, so he let out an "oh" and deliberately asked, "How can you see it?"
Lu Xing pointed to the lantern: "I think that this is an extraordinary time, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the past, in such a situation, he would inevitably put aside the love of his children, but now at this time, he asked me to find the lantern, and told me very clearly that this is to please a girl." What the hell do you think that's going on?"
Speaking of this, he looked at Gu Zhirong with deep meaning.
Gu Zhi smiled tolerantly: "I said Second Prince Lu, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really as pleasing to girls as you say, I think, my Second Sister will not reject His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of you." ”
Lu Xing was stunned for a moment, he was obviously talking about His Royal Highness the Prince, why did he suddenly pull it on him?
When he thought about it again, he felt even more wrong. Miss Gu Er obviously likes him, how can she like His Royal Highness the Prince?
However, looking back, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was originally handsome and noble, if he wasn't as cold and hard as an iron block, maybe he would really have to compare himself.
Well, fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has always been like this, otherwise, it seems that he really has no chance.
Thankfully.
However, even if this is the case, it should not be said like this, it hurts his self-esteem too much!
His face was a little unbearable, and he said unwillingly: "Gu Xiaowu, I am your future second brother-in-law, you should respect me." My second sister and I are ...... It's a match made in heaven!"
Gu Zhi smiled tolerantly: "Okay, okay, even if you are a match made in heaven, but in the eyes of outsiders, no matter what, it is like you robbed the crown princess of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." It's the prince who is generous and gives you the princess he appointed, so you don't have to be cheap and behave, compete with the prince for the limelight, or do more practical things for him. ”
These words obviously poked Lu Xing's sore spot, and Lu Xing said unrelentingly: "Could it be that you also think that I robbed the crown princess?"
He asked again unwillingly: "In your eyes, am I really like someone who has taken away people's love?"
Gu Zhirong nodded: "It's very similar." ”
Lu Xing: "......"
Gu Zhirong saw the increasingly strange expression on his face, and couldn't help laughing: "Okay, I'm joking, how can my future second brother-in-law be the one who wins people's love? That's too tasteless, right? It's you who have a relationship with my second sister, so Yue Lao pulled the red line." Don't worry, as long as you really like each other, you will be together after all. ”
Lu Xing sighed silently.
Gu Zhirong winked at him: "Don't worry, since I believe that you are my future second brother-in-law, I will definitely help you." Okay, now let's get to work. (To be continued.) )
