Chapter 192: Torch Festival Meets the Dead
"You Bai Zhenjiao so-called immortal method that can scatter beans into soldiers, but they are all tricks to deceive people, if you really have this ability, you people have been deceived." King Rui shook his head helplessly.
He's said it many times, these things are just empty and beautiful, why don't they believe it? These people just don't hit the south wall and don't give up.
"No, no, Zhu Xian will reappear, heaven and earth will change hands, dominate the white truth, and dominate the Three Realms. Hahaha......" After speaking, the white-robed man laughed wildly, and after laughing a few times, his whole body exploded and died.
King Rui sent someone to clear the mountain road, and in the afternoon of the same day, the group set out on the road back to Dazhou again.
That night, everyone came to another town, and when they passed through this town, they could reach the border town of Da Zhou in another day's journey.
Fortunately, the whole night in the town was peaceful, and after a night's rest, everyone set out on the journey home the next morning.
"It's so good, I can reach Da Zhou tonight, I really miss everything about Da Zhou." Xiangzhi said excitedly.
"Are you thinking about Da Zhou's crispy duck?" Gu Yunxin quipped.
"Oh, princess, you say that as if I was a glutton." Xiangzhi hung her head and said with a slurp.
"I also said that I am not greedy, look at your appearance, when I get to Da Zhou, find a better restaurant, and I will definitely let you eat enough." Gu Yunxin said with a smile.
"In two days, it will be the Torch Festival in the border town of Dazhou, so you might as well stay at the border for a few more days to have fun." Rui Wang said lightly.
"Torch Festival? What is the Torch Festival? Gu Yunxin wondered.
Regarding the Torch Festival, it is not surprising that Gu Yunxin does not know at all, because this Torch Festival is only available in the border towns of Da Zhou.
"The Torch Festival is an annual festival in this town, and on this day, everyone will dance together in the town square with torches, which is very lively. Also, on this day, an unmarried woman can give her hand-embroidered purse to her favorite man as a token of love. King Rui smiled lightly.
"Women embroider purses for men? So, what about men? What will a man give to the woman he likes? Gu Yunxin was so tidy.
"If a woman gives a man a purse, then the man will give the woman a jade pendant that they carry with them." Rui Wang said with a smile.
"It sounds very good, I can't imagine that there is such a place where people can choose their marriage." Gu Yunxin sighed.
Think about it, most of the people who live in this Great Zhou or Southern Chu, or even Northern Liang have no marital autonomy. Which one is not the words of the matchmaker of the parents? Did you see your husband or wife for the first time on the night of your wedding?
She is happy, she can get along with King Rui for a period of time, and it is not easy to marry someone she likes, and the other party treats her sincerely.
"What are you thinking?" King Rui looked at Gu Yunxin, who was distracted, and said softly.
"Lord, I feel very happy, I can get the prince's sincere treatment of me, this is something that many women can't ask for." After finishing speaking, Gu Yunxin rested his head on King Rui's shoulder.
"I am also very happy, and it is my blessing to be able to marry you in this life." Rui Wang gently stroked Gu Yunxin's hair and said.
After arriving in the territory of the Great Zhou, everyone settled everything in the inn, and they all wanted to see what this torch festival was like.
That night, the whole town was hung with colorful lanterns and various colored ribbons, and the whole scenery was very beautiful. Gu Yunxin and Rui Wang came to the bonfire in the town square and saw young men and women dancing in a circle.
At this moment, several young women walked towards King Rui, took out their purses with a shy face, and handed them to King Rui.
"This son, the little woman likes you, does the son like the little girl?" A woman in a light blue dress said shyly.
"I'm sorry, girl, I already have a wife under me, and I will never take a concubine in this life, thank you for the girl's love." King Rui bowed slightly.
"Your wife, but the one next to you is really beautiful." The woman on the side of the woman in the light blue dress pouted.
I really didn't expect such a beautiful woman in the world, here, they are already the most beautiful girls, but I didn't expect such a person to come, so can they get so much attention in the future?
"Are you new to this area?" The woman in the light blue dress continued.
"No, we're just passing by, and we'll leave tomorrow." Rui Wang said lightly.
These are not secrets, and even if they are told to outsiders, there is no big deal. What's more, his Netherworld Pavilion also has a news network in this town, and he is very confident that there will be no problems.
At this moment, a woman in a red power suit stepped over, "Yunxin." ”
Looking up, Gu Yunxin smiled slightly, "Sister Xinlan, why are you here?" ”
"Some time ago, there were rogue horse thieves making trouble around here, and my brother was ordered to lead troops to encircle and suppress them, just to see their torch festival, I didn't expect to meet you here." Zhan Xinlan took Gu Yunxin's hand and said.
"I didn't expect it, but I thought about waiting for the next stop to see my grandfather and uncle." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
Seeing that Zhan Xinlan and Gu Yunxin were so familiar, several women couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts, if they could be familiar with this Zhan family lady, they were afraid that this identity would not be bad.
"Xinlan, are you familiar with this lady?" The woman in the light blue dress said.
"That's natural, this is Miss Ben's sister."
"Oh, it turned out to be the sister of Miss Zhanjia, no wonder she was so beautiful." The woman in the light blue dress was unwilling.
This Zhan Xinlan is the daughter of General Zhenyuan, and there is a cousin in the family who is Zhan Xinyue, and now she is the princess of Xiangyang, and the men of the Zhan family do not accept concubines, so the woman in front of her will naturally not be a concubine, so she
It's Miss Gu Jia, now Princess Rui.
I have long heard that King Rui is dignified and handsome, but he lost his legs in a battle, looking at the majestic manly bearing and gorgeous clothes in front of him, what else can he not guess.
"Pan Hanrui, the daughter of the people's daughter Yuanning Mansion Yin, has seen King Rui and Princess Rui." The woman in the light blue dress stepped forward and saluted.
"Excuse me, there aren't so many rules for going out." Rui Wang said lightly.
"I didn't expect His Royal Highness King Rui to be interested in coming to see the Torch Festival." Pan Hanrui said with a smile.
"This king has no interest in these, if it weren't for my lady who wanted to see it, this king wouldn't have come out."
The implication of these words is to tell Pan Hanrui, don't think about friendship, if it weren't for my lady who wanted to see the excitement, you wouldn't have a chance to see this king today.
Zhan Xinlan naturally saw Pan Hanrui's thoughts, and then sneered: "Miss Pan's thoughts, let's use them on other people, King Rui is not something you can think about as your identity." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhan Xinlan grabbed Gu Yunxin and said, "You have already stayed at the inn, do you want to come with us tomorrow." ”
Gu Yunxin looked back at King Rui and asked for his opinion, after all, there were many of them, and it wasn't just the couple of them. It's always about what other people think.
"Okay, let's go to my grandfather's house and disturb for a few days." King Rui smiled lightly.
This decision of King Rui will not be objected to by others, and it is naturally undesirable to let them live in an inn and go to live in a courtier's house.
"Okay, let's surprise my grandfather and father directly, my grandfather was still thinking about when I would go back to see Qinghong and my aunt." Zhan Xinlan said with a smile.
Speaking of which, this old Dingguo Gong has been here for more than two years, and according to his age, he should go back to Kyoto to recuperate. It's just because there was a lot of trouble here two years ago, and the old grandfather has been staying here.
The next day, early in the morning, Zhan Xinlan and two other tall and handsome men rode together to the door of the inn where King Rui and Gu Yunxin were, and when everyone came out, King Xiang raised his eyes and saw that the woman in front of him was sassy and heroic, which was more attractive than those delicate and gentle women in Kyoto.
"I don't know ......what this girl is," King Xiang stepped forward.
"I am Zhan Xinlan, the daughter of Zhan Huaran, the general of Zhenyuan. Distinguished guests, please go with our brothers and sisters to stay in the house for a few days and rest before returning to Kyoto. Zhan Xinlan said with a decent smile on her face.
"It turned out to be the second lady of the Zhan family, it's really disrespectful and disrespectful." King Xiang smiled and arched his hand.
Seeing this, Gu Yunxin couldn't help but pout, her second sister is naturally a good woman, but it is not a good thing to be targeted by such a person. knew that King Xiang would look at Zhan Xinlan so squintingly, so she didn't agree to Zhan Xinlan to live at home, if it ......, wouldn't that lead the wolf into the house?
"His Royal Highness King Xiang, in the next exhibition Tianfang is the general of Zhenyuan
The eldest son of the army, it is a great honor to invite a few distinguished guests to stay, and the Zhenyuan General's Mansion is deeply honored. If you have something to say, you might as well go to the house and talk about it, so don't delay on the road. After finishing speaking, Zhan Tianfang made a gesture of please.
Zhan Tianfang has already said so, if King Xiang is still interested in pulling Zhan Xinlan to speak, it is deliberate, the children of their Zhan family would rather marry a hero who fought on the battlefield than marry such a parasite as his wife.
When he arrived at General Zhenyuan's mansion, it was already evening, and Zhan Huaran had already waited at the door with people when he got the news early.
The group walked through the garden to the hall, Dingguo Gong sat on the main seat, and when he saw the group arrive, he immediately got up with a smile, "King Rui, Yunxin, you have worked hard along the way." Let my grandfather take a good look, I can't imagine that my granddaughter is so beautiful. ”
"Grandfather, how can you praise your granddaughter like this, which makes people laugh at it." Gu Yunxin said coquettishly.
"What's there to laugh at, our Yunxin is beautiful, what can't be said." Ding Guogong said with a smile.
"Dingguo Gong, you look pretty good, you might as well go back to Kyoto with us this time. This king went to ask his father to ask for an order, so that you don't have to work so hard. King Xiang said with a smile.
Hmph, what Gu Yunxin, Princess Beiliang, this is the Zhan family, since the eldest lady of the Zhan family is already married, then he must not miss the second miss of the Zhan family.
If they can marry Miss Zhanjia as a concubine, even if the Dingguo Mansion is unwilling to stand in line, then they can't help it. Why did they ignore this second miss of the Zhan family at the beginning, it was really a mistake, and I don't know if the second miss of the Zhan family is married, if there is, it doesn't matter, as long as it is what he wants, he will do it for her behind the scenes.
Thinking of this, King Xiang's gaze at Zhan Xinlan became even more intriguing......
