Chapter 243: Shangyuan (1)

Soon it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

The people of the Great Yan Dynasty had the custom of tying lanterns. On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, lanterns are placed everywhere on the streets, and the lights are brilliant and dazzling. You can enjoy lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and have all kinds of delicious snacks.

The lantern market on the Shangyuan Festival is very lively, and the eldest girls and little daughters-in-law have also lifted the curfew on this day, and they go to the lantern market in twos and threes to enjoy the lanterns.

Xu Zheng said to Xu Jinyu with great interest: "Sister, we will also go to the lantern market to enjoy the lanterns." ”

This New Year, Xu Zheng only went to Cao's house once, and stayed in the study for the rest of the time to study, which was really boring.

Xu Jinyu was also moved when she heard this. The Shangyuan Festival is the most lively day of the year, and the ladies in the boudoir also have a rare opportunity to go out: "Let's call Shangniang to go together!" ”

Xu Zheng smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go and talk to my mother." ”

Zou unexpectedly refused: "The lamp market in Bianliang City is indeed worth seeing. You two brothers and sisters go, I won't join in the fun. ”

Young people like to be lively, and she, a widowed woman, is not in such a mood. It's better to stay at home and be quiet.

Xu Jinyu persuaded a few words, but seeing that Zou insisted on refusing to go, he didn't say more. The brother and sister ate some snacks in advance to cushion their hunger, and planned to go out in the evening.

While eating snacks, Old Butler Zhao came with a smile: "Miss Jin, Young Master, the two sons of the Chen family are here." said that he invited the young lady and young master to go to the lantern market to enjoy the lanterns. ”

Xu Zheng smiled and said, "Hurry up and invite them in." ”

Chen Yuanzhao and Chen Yuanqing brothers came together.

Chen Yuanqing smiled enthusiastically and heartily: "Cousin, cousin Jin." There is a lantern market tonight, and my second brother and I have come to accompany you to enjoy the lanterns. ”

"It's a coincidence that you two came." Xu Zheng replied with a smile: "My sister and I are planning to go out, if we are late for a while." I guess we won't be able to meet us. ”

Chen Yuanzhao wears a dark color military uniform all the year round, and it is cold today, and he is covered with a crane of the same color. The handsome face is pale, but the eyebrows and eyes are less cold than before, and they are much softer.

Xu Jinyu raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Chen Yuanzhao.

The two of them looked at each other, and they were densely entangled

It's like no one else!

Xu Zhengqiang resisted the urge to interrupt the two of them looking at each other. smiled at Chen Yuanqing: "Cousin Yuanqing, there is a snack over there, you go with me to eat some cushions first." ”

Chen Yuanqing had the intention of creating an opportunity for Chen Yuanzhao and Xu Jinyu to be alone. Seeing that Xu Zheng was so knowledgeable and knowledgeable, he responded with a smile and walked out with Xu Zheng.

Hatsu and Rue smiled at each other, and quietly retreated outside.

"Ah Yu." Chen Yuanzhao looked at Xu Jinyu. The voice was low and beautiful: "I wronged you in the palace that day." But don't worry, those two palace maids have been driven away by me. ”

Xu Jinyu couldn't help but bend the corners of her lips: "The beauty of Qingman Qingtong is enchanting, and it was specially rewarded to you by the queen's mother." Are you really not tempted at all? ”

Chen Yuanzhao raised his eyebrows: "If I leave the two of them behind, how can I still have the face to see you today!" ”

The corners of Xu Jinyu's lips were raised, and a smile flashed in her eyes: "For the sake of your good performance, I will forgive you this time." This will not happen again. ”

Chen Yuanzhao responded seriously.

Xu Jinyu couldn't help but chuckle.

She knew Chen Yuanzhao's temperament very well, so she didn't worry about this matter. It's just that I thought of two beautiful palace maids with ulterior motives dangling in front of Chen Yuanzhao. It is inevitable that the heart will not feel comfortable. Chen Yuanzhao did things very neatly, and directly drove the two palace maids away

"Where did you take the two of them?" Xu Jinyu asked curiously: "Shouldn't it be sent back to the palace?" ”

Chen Yuanzhao snorted lightly: "The phoenix decree for marriage has not yet been made." It is inconvenient to face the Queen of Leaves. I couldn't bear to send the two of them back to the palace, but to my mother. I told my mother that the two maids would stay and serve her in the future, and they would not appear in front of me again. ”

This can be regarded as throwing a hot potato to the Ye family.

Xu Jinyu nodded in agreement: "This idea is not bad." ”

With Ye's methods, it didn't take much effort to deal with just two palace maids. It's best to send those two obstructive palace maids back to the palace before she passes through the door. In this way, it also saves her heart.

Chen Yuanzhao saw Xu Jinyu's thoughts, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Other women, can't get into my eyes, you don't have to worry." ”

Xu Jinyu's face flushed, and he replied duplicitously: "What you said is good, who knows what will happen in the future." ”

Chen Yuanzhao has never had the habit of making an oath, let alone coaxing people with sweet words, and said briefly: "There are three thousand weak waters, and I will only take one scoop to drink." ”

In just a few words, Xu Jinyu's heart rippled with sweetness, and it didn't go away for a long time.

After a while, Xu Jinyu opened her mouth to break the silence: "Hanyu set off a year ago, and it has been more than a month since she left, and I don't know if she has arrived at the border now." ”

Hanyu's lonely road is dangerous and inconvenient, and Zhou Cong deliberately picked a couple from the secret guard to accompany Hanyu. Confidentiality is the first key to this trip, and it is inconvenient to send a message back on the way. Xu Jinyu didn't know what Hanyu's current situation was.

Chen Yuanzhao's eyes flashed: "This way has to hide people's eyes, they don't take the official road, and some places have to be detoured." There may be unexpected situations on the way, and it may not be possible to reach the border in more than a month. ”

There's no need to be in a hurry.

As long as Xiao Zou rushes back during her pregnancy, there is no way to deny that Xiao Zou is arrested.

Xu Jinyu snorted: "This matter is not urgent, I just wait slowly." ”

In order to take revenge, she hid in the embroidery village for eight years. She has survived such a long time, and a few months is nothing

Towards evening, everyone went out of the Zou family's old house together.

There are many people in the lamp market, and the carriage is inconvenient, Xu Zheng and Chen Yuanzhao brothers each rode horses, and Xu Jinyu sat in a soft sedan chair. Then there are accompanying maids and guards, and the momentum is mighty.

The brightly dressed sons and brothers, the scholars in Confucian robes, the well-dressed big girls and little daughters-in-law, and the daughters of the boudoir who rarely appear on weekdays, are crowded with people on the street.

Naturally, this bustling light market is also dangerous.

Beware of hair thieves at any time, as well as those who keep an eye on children, and there are many scoundrels and idlers who take advantage of this time to squeeze around the woman and rub oil when it is crowded.

Xu Zheng and Chen Yuanzhao naturally would not let Xu Jinyu take the slightest risk.

The two of them protected Xu Jinyu in the middle, one left and one right, and the guards surrounded the outer circle.

Despite the flow of people, Xu Jinyu was safe and sound. (To be continued......)
