Chapter 20: Night Encounters

It was not too late to get dark in the spring, and it was already dark after a few people had only walked for a short time. Chunting looked left and right, and felt that after it got dark, the lanterns that originally looked ordinary suddenly became more pleasing to the eye, and quietly tugged at the sleeve of the winter cocoon, signaling that she was going to buy a lantern herself.

Winter Cocoon was helpless, "How many times have you run out here, haven't you seen that the sisters around Miss Han always look at you." ”

"I agreed that Qiu Zhi wanted to buy her a gift, and I can't break my promise." Chunting took the autumn branch out as a shield, and without waiting for the winter cocoon to stop her again, she ran out like a little mouse.

There are a lot of lanterns on the stalls, but most of them look rough. Chun Ting took a closer look and only felt that the lanterns in the style of Chang'e running to the moon on the top were better than those next to them, and he was just about to reach for them, when he saw a slender hand take the lantern away.

When Chunting turned around, she saw a young man in brocade standing behind her, holding the lantern she had just fancied in her hand. The young man was slender, and although he didn't look more than sixteen or seventeen, he was half a head taller than Chunting, which made him take the lead.

Chun Ting stared at the lantern in the young man's hand, and said with anger: "This son, obviously I took a fancy to this lantern first, you have to talk about the first come, first come, first come." ”

The boy shook the lantern in his hand, "How can you prove that you came first?" Now this lamp is in my hand, and it is clear that I came first. ”

After that, the young man took out a piece of broken silver from the purse on his waist and threw it to the stall owner, who accepted the silver with a smile and said vigorously: "Thank you Childe, thank you Childe!" ”

Chun Ting was angry, "Why are you like this?" Why don't you make any sense at all? ”

"I'm the truth, what is your opinion?" The young man looked at Chunting arrogantly, "Master, I first took a fancy to this lamp, Master Qian also handed it over, this lamp is mine now, what, do you want it?" Then you beg me to sell it to you. ”

"Yi'an, why be difficult to be a girl."

A man in white walked out from behind the young man, compared to the young man's coquettishness, this son can be called a jade tree in the wind, just standing there makes people feel like a spring breeze.

As if he heard the sound of Chunting and their side, Han Sui looked over here, saw the two people beside Chunting, and said in surprise: "Brother Su, Yi'an, you are also here to incense?" ”

One of these two people is the only son of Qing'an Hou, Luo Yuluo Xiaohouye, and the other is Su Hanran, the eldest grandson of Su Ge Lao. The two of them can be regarded as one of the best people in the capital, but one is famous in Kyoto because of their flamboyance, and the other is favored by countless girls because of their talent.

Bai Huanru saw Chunting standing beside the two of them, frowned and beckoned to Chunting, "Chunting, come back." ”

Chunting lowered his head and walked back to Bai Huanru's side silently, no longer looking at Luo Yu's side, he could only be obediently silent, not mentioning what happened just now.

Even if Han Sui didn't explicitly state the identities of these two people, he could guess that the identities of the two were either rich or expensive, and Chun Ting began to regret why he was so impulsive just now and wanted to argue with Luo Yu.

Chunting wanted to settle things, but obviously Luo Yu didn't think so, and there was a hint of a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, "This maid of the white girl is really a fierce person, and she doesn't know how to back down." As he spoke, he raised the lantern in his hand, if he hadn't stood far away from Chunting, he was afraid that he would have poked Chunting in the face.

"Just now, my maids have offended Luo Gongzi, and Master Luo has a lot, so don't worry about her as a little woman." Bai Huanru curtsied and apologized to Luo Yu for Chunting.

As soon as Chun Ting heard Bai Huanru say this, his eyes were so anxious that his eyes were red, and he knelt down with a "poof", and said with a stalk around his neck: "Fang is the slave is wrong, please forgive Master Luo!" ”

This kneeling startled everyone present. Luo Yu looked down at Chunting, the little girl was straight even if she knelt with her back, listening to her thin voice, she was also apologetic, but it made Luo Yu feel uncomfortable.

Luo Yu pursed his lips, he really felt that this girl was very eye-catching, but he was not interested in embarrassing women, and he didn't want to grab the lantern with Chunting, but he just saw that Chunting was small, and the lantern was hanging high and wanted to help her, but who knew that this girl bit back, but he wanted to say that he was loved, so he paid for this shoddy lantern in a fit of anger.

The young man turned his head awkwardly, "I didn't say I wanted you to kneel, you don't want to get in my way here." ”

Bai Huanru glanced at Chunting, Chunting understood, got up and saluted Luo Yu again, and then quickly retreated.

Chunting didn't know what happened next, she went back to the wing room first, and waited anxiously for half an hour before waiting for Bai Huanru and the others to come back.

Bai Huanru leaned on the small collapse by the window tiredly, Chunting stood in front of Bai Huanru at a loss, and was just about to say something when he heard Bai Huanru say sharply: "Kneel!" ”

Chun Ting knelt on the ground without thinking about it, and looked up at Bai Huanru timidly.

"Do you know what you did wrong today?" Bai Huanru asked.

"Slave maid, slave maid should not go to buy lanterns without authorization, nor should she have a dispute with Luo Gongzi, and ask the girl to punish her." Chun Ting said in a small voice.

Bai Huanru looked at Chunting's appearance and lost her temper, and only shook her head, "I thought that although you didn't have a winter cocoon and were calm, you were also an honest and temperamentless person, but today it seems that I was wrong, you are really a tempered person." You are only partially right, you shouldn't argue with Luo Xiaohou today, and you shouldn't kneel down in front of everyone. Although it is true that you are at fault in this matter, you should not be so impulsive, your every move outside is my face, and the Anguo Mansion does not have to be afraid of a Qing'an Hou Mansion. ”

Bai Huanru took a sip of tea and continued: "Since you have already known your mistake, then I will fine you for three months, and copy the Heart Sutra five times after returning home, do you have any objections?" ”

Naturally, Chunting had no objections, and even took on the night duty alone, telling the winter cocoon to rest well. After Luo Yu's incident, Chunting didn't dare to follow Bai Huanru out and walk around anymore, Dong Cocoon had a calm temperament, and she could handle many scenes alone.

Thinking of this, Winter Cocoon wanted to joke with Chun Ting, "After you go back, you have to ask Qiu Zhi to pay you two months' monthly money, if you don't want to bring her some novelties, how can you be fined this money." ”

At this time, Chunting stopped making a noise like a quail, so after another three days, Mrs. Han and the Chen family finally decided to return to the capital, and Chunting breathed a sigh of relief.

The spring court was on duty for three days and nights, and the spirit was fine, and Bai Huanru went out to chant the Buddha during the day, and the spring court could take a nap in the wing room. I slept a lot during the day this day, and I was a little too energetic at night, but when I thought of having to drive and ride early tomorrow morning, I was afraid that there would be no time to make up for sleep all day, and Chun Ting still closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but she still kept an eye on the movements in the house all the time, afraid that Bai Huanru would not hear what she wanted her to do when she got up at night.

After lying down for a while, Chunting heard the sound of Xixi, and the winter cocoon was sleeping heavily beside her, which would make it difficult for Bai Huanru to get up at night, and when Chunting thought about it, she felt that Bai Huanru had come to her side.

Bai Huanru was probably very close to her, and Chun Ting could even feel her breath spread on her face. Chunting didn't know what Bai Huanru was going to do, but subconsciously felt that Bai Huanru probably didn't want her to know, so he still closed his eyes, calmed his breath, and pretended that he hadn't woken up.

After a long while, Bai Huanru stood up straight, and then tiptoed open the door and walked out.

As soon as Bai Huanru closed the door, Chunting bounced up from the bed, dragged the cloak and put it on, and saw that the winter cocoon had no intention of waking up, so he quietly followed out.

Bai Huanru probably didn't expect that someone would follow her, and she walked quickly along the way. Chunting was afraid of being discovered by Bai Huanru, but he was afraid that he would lose it, so he hid and hid, and followed Bai Huanru to the backyard of Hanshui Temple without danger.

The peach blossoms in the backyard are still blooming just right, and the people under the peach blossoms are also good-looking. Taking advantage of the moonlight Spring Court to secretly look at Bai Huanru, her girl was very good-looking, even if she didn't apply powder at this time, her black hair was only loosely pulled up, and there was no jewelry between her temples.

Chunting originally wanted to climb up the tree, but the movement on the tree in the dead of night was too big, so he had to sneak behind the tree and look at Bai Huanru.

Chunya shook her head and threw out those ridiculous ideas, how could her girl be a bright and upright person, how could she do these things?

Although the night of spring is not so cold, it will not be too warm, and Chunting is a little sleepy leaning on the trunk of the tree, and he is obviously still in good spirits. Bai Huanru seemed to be a little anxious, and Chun Ting looked a little anxious, she had been waiting for almost an hour, and she didn't see any movements from Bai Huanru, and she didn't see anyone else coming here, what was her girl going to do when she came in the middle of the night?

Chunting was staring boredly at the peach blossoms on the tree, when suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps approaching, Chunting straightened up and poked his head out from behind the tree, so startled that he almost jumped up. I saw a few bald men surrounding Bai Huanru, these people behaved frivolously, even if they shaved their heads and wore monks' robes, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that these were not monks in the temple.

Bai Huanru took a few steps back, wanting to avoid these men who seemed to be unkind, and as soon as she took a step back, someone behind her blocked her way. Bai Huanru didn't expect it, just because that paper invitation would probably ruin her innocence here.

Just when Bai Huanru felt desperate, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed her and ran out, Bai Huanru looked up and saw Chunting with her hair in a messy bun.
