CHAPTER XXXIII
"Grandma, don't be angry, Brother Nanting and I will be worried and sad," Xiao Jingyi said coquettishly, coaxing Mrs. Gu again and again.
Old Madam Gu touched Xiao Jingyi's face, smiled, and said, "Grandma knows that you are the most filial, and as soon as grandma sees us Jingyi, she won't have any worries,"
Mrs. Shangshu just now also took the opportunity to talk to Gu Nantian who was standing on the side, "This is the first time I have seen the seventh prince after returning to Nandu, and my Ru'er also mentioned it before, saying that I haven't seen Nantian's brother for a long time, and I am worried that I am afraid that the seventh prince will forget her, and I am coming today, and I don't know where I am messing around now, I am not serious at all, "She has a son and a daughter with Master Shangshu, the son is called Li Qifeng, and the daughter is called Li Xueru, both of whom have played with Gu Nantian since childhood.
"Xueru loves to make trouble, childlike nature, Mrs. doesn't have to care," Gu Nantian is face is respectful, when Li Xueru was mentioned, Gu Nantian still had a lot of memories, the girl in her memory was very fun-loving, very noisy, just like a boy, always following behind her brother and herself, and Xiao Jingyi was different, she was a very brave and casual girl, and she would not be so delicate.
As soon as Mrs. Shangshu heard this, she looked at Gu Nantian's eyes and couldn't help but have a little more appreciation and affection, and then looked at Xiao Jingyi, who was sitting next to Mrs. Gu with an arrogant face, and thought to herself, she was just an adopted daughter who had died and was fostered by the queen, who had no power and no power, and survived with His Majesty's love, my Xueru is not worse than you.
Then another young lady spoke, "The seventh prince looks a lot haggard and has lost a lot of weight, life outside the gate should be very difficult," her face was full of distress, Gu Nantian didn't know which lady she was, but she was still polite, and said slowly, "Let Mrs. worry, Nan leaning is a man, he should have a lot of experience, it's nothing,"
Then another lady also jokingly said, "The seventh prince is young and promising, he is chic, the princess should be careful, she was robbed, and the daughter of Nandu is worried about this young hero,"
"Who dare!" Xiao Jingyi was like a fur when she heard this, she quickly jumped up, walked to Gu Nantian's side, as if declaring her sovereignty, and held Gu Nantian's arm, but if you look closely, you will find that Gu Nantian subconsciously frowned at that moment, it is obvious that he doesn't particularly like this kind of behavior, and he doesn't particularly like this princess, at least what he means to this princess is not what everyone thinks.
Mrs. Shangshu naturally discovered the abnormality, and she couldn't help but feel a little more sure in her heart.
I heard that a lady took the opportunity to laugh and teas, "Yo, the princess refused to admit it just now, blaming us for making fun of her, and now the fox's tail is suddenly exposed, but what's good?" ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, and looked at Xiao Jingyi.
Xiao Jingyi's face was flushed, but she still didn't let go of Gu Nan's arm, and just said coquettishly to Old Madam Gu, "Grandma, when will you be able to eat, Jingyi feels hungry," and quickly began to change the topic.
"The princess is accompanied by the seventh son, will she still feel hungry?" Naturally, they won't give up.
Xiao Jingyi was annoyed and angry, and said, "You are making fun of me again," and then cried to Old Madam Gu, "Grandma, you see, they all bullied me," with a look of grievance, very distressing.
"Okay, okay, we can't starve Jingyi," Old Madam Gu played a round, and then commanded Aunt Sun beside her, "Aunt Sun, let them prepare and start the meal," Aunt Sun helped Old Madam Gu up, "Grandma, I'll help you go," Xiao Jingyi also took Old Madam Gu's hand and took her in the direction of the front hall, Gu Nantian naturally followed.
Xiao Jingyi is always very good at coaxing the old lady to be happy.
Aunt Sun stepped aside and said to the rest of the ladies, "Okay, ladies, please move to the front hall."
Then he instructed the other maids and told the other ladies to go to the front hall for dinner.
As soon as Ah Qi took a nap, she heard the sound of a crowd moving, bustling, chattering in the direction where she was standing, should she be planning to leave?
Ah Qi didn't know very well, maybe it was time to start eating, but he just subconsciously woke up, stood to the side, a more corner, and leaned all the way to make a spacious way for them.
Ah Qi thought, it was okay to eat, and after standing for a long time, his legs were really sore, and it was best to end early, after all, he was slapped in vain today, but it was really a wronged and aggrieved thing.
Who would have thought that before Ah Qi came out of the atmosphere he was immersed in, a big incident happened, and it was still a little bloody, still in front of her, her eyes, naked, and bright.
A thick-clothed man with a masked face and a dagger in his hand flew towards the group of people from somewhere, and behind him there was a group of black-clothed men who were also masked somewhere, all holding weapons in their hands, rushing towards a group of men with their claws open, should be disrupting the line of sight, delaying time, and covering for the rough-clothed man who was the leader, because the man was heading towards the group of women and children, and he looked like he was still coming towards the two people who were surrounded in the middle. It's just that I don't know if it's for the old lady of the Gu family or Princess Jingyi who is clinging to her next to her.
Because most of them are a group of noble women and children who are powerless, some of whom may have never seen such a blatant assassination in their lives, so they are all frightened, scattered, scurrying, and from time to time with high screams, so the scene is even more chaotic, and they are beginning to be a little confused who is who, after all, these ladies are wearing one-to-one regular clothes, gorgeous clothes, flowers, chaos, and blindness, but the target of the assassin is very distinct.
Soon the old lady and Xiao Jingyi were single, and I don't know what went wrong, the old lady and Xiao Jingyi were close to each other, holding each other's arms, and not long after, Xiao Jingyi didn't know who hit her and fell to the ground, fortunately, although the old lady is an old woman, she is still tough, and she is also a person who has seen a big scene, but she is very sober, but at this time sobriety is undoubtedly the best goal.
Seeing that the assassins were about to go towards the old lady, this really irritated Ah Qi, it turned out that the target of these assassins was an old lady who was over seventy years old, it was really strange, what was this for?
yes, what's the picture? The old lady has lived for such a long time, she didn't assassinate sooner or later, and now she is over seventy, and the result is like this, isn't it okay to find trouble? Can't you let people die naturally?
Everyone may not have thought that most of the people who came to help when they heard the noise in the front yard ran to protect the lone princess, after all, it was royal blood, and it was in the Gu family's mansion, so there could be no mistake, otherwise it would be a sin. Who would have thought that the target of these assassins would be their own old lady.
And all this was seen clearly and clearly by Ah Qi, an outsider hiding aside.
Even the old lady herself didn't expect it, and kept muttering, "Protect Jingyi," "It's important to protect Jingyi first", for fear of frightening this little princess who has never seen anything in the world.
Just a second when the dagger was about to stab in front of the old lady, Ah Qi pounced, and the dagger slashed Ah Qi's arm, fortunately, the injury was not serious, because in the second after Ah Qi pounced, the legendary Gu family Seven Sons noticed the abnormality, and the assassin, and the reason why Ah Qi injured his arm was an accident was because when the assassin fell to the ground, the dagger fell from his hand, and Ah Qi rushed up, back and forth, rubbing Ah Qi's arm, which scratched Ah Qi.
It's a joke.
Fortunately, no one found out, and it was nothing, otherwise it would really be a loss of death.
Everyone wants to come to the front hall, but they don't know that staying in the backyard and doing hard work is tiring, but the people who stand in the front hall and sing big operas with masks all day long are also very tired.
Ah Qi thought to himself, what kind of bad luck did he pour today.
Ah Qi raised his head and happened to face the seventh son of the Gu family standing not far away, that son looked like a righteous Ling Ran, Yushu was in the wind, it seemed that these things were easy for him, but Ah Qi was very weak-hearted, looking at these more or less corpses on the ground and those who were left to be caught alive, and even a little panicked, whether it was an assassin or not, after all, it was a human life, although these people chose to do such a hurtful thing, they did not deserve sympathy, but in the end, ......
Ah Qi is always like this, always compassionate and indecisive, and always ruthless...... For this reason, Ah Qi also suffered a lot.
At this time, Ah Qi, who was only in a daze, didn't know that those people, both men and women, began to look in her direction, staring at her, as if they were looking at something strange.
There was surprise, fear, and disdain in the eyes of those people.
But Ah Qi didn't remember any of them, and he didn't take them to heart, because in the next second, Ah Qi fell into the crowd and passed out.
It's just that I don't know why, Ah Qi clearly remembers that the person was standing opposite her, facing the sun, and the reflected shadow just fell on her face, covering up a piece of hypocrisy for her, he stood straight, chic and arbitrary, his eyes were cold, although he was not condescending, but he was an unapproachable person.
The seventh son of the Gu family, Gu Nantian, Ah Qi remembered his name and also remembered his face.
Many years later, Ah Qi finally understood why he seemed so different to her on this day, some things were really fate, destined fate, blessing or sin, Ah Qi still didn't know.
"Girl, are you alright?" When Ah Qi woke up, it was in a good room, and although the furnishings in the room were very simple, they were also exquisite, at least much better than where Ah Qi lived.
Someone came to help her, this person Ah Qi also recognized her face, it was the maid who appeared when she went to help the old lady, because Ah Qi's sudden appearance not only injured herself, knocked herself down, but also caused the old lady to fall to the ground together, very embarrassed.
The servant girl who helped her should have been someone from the old lady's side, and she called her "girl".
Ah Qi thought to herself, I'm not a girl, I'm the girl of your Gu Mansion, besides, just how I dress, can I be a girl?
But I thought to myself, the Gu Mansion girl's dress was not too bad.
It's just that Ah Qi is a little unaccustomed to it, but he still clings to her and is pulled up from the bed by her.
In fact, the scratch on the arm is nothing, but the foot is twisted, and I am afraid that it will take a while to recuperate, which is really a tricky thing.
Ah Qi raised her eyes and saw Aunt Sun standing not far away, she also looked at her, "Aunt Sun," Ah Qi was still very self-disciplined, and after standing up, she stood aside in a regular manner, and shouted "Aunt Sun", after all, she only knew the aunt next to the old lady.
My aunt answered, nodded, and walked away, and went outside, whispering a few words to some of the people guarding the door, as if to say something.
Ah Qi's first reaction was, don't you talk about yourself again?
It's just a blessing and not a curse, a blessing and a curse, no, Ah Qi's appearance was regarded as the old lady's life-saving benefactor by the old lady and the ignorant others, which is also a coincidence.
The girl who helped her just now said to Ah Qi again, "Girl, come with me," and looked at Ah Qi's inconvenient legs and feet, and continued to help her walk very enthusiastically, she is a good person.
While talking, the two of them came to the front hall, and on top of them sat the old lady of the Gu family and the head of the Gu family, that is, Gu Nantian's father, Gu Rongsheng, who really responded to this name, prosperous and rich, rising step by step.
In addition to these two Gu family lords, there were many people sitting on the left and right, and there were also many people standing, of course, there were also Gu Nantian and Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Jingyi naturally stood close to the old lady, as for Gu Nantian, Ah Qi didn't dare to look at him more.
Ah Qi thought, such a big scene?
"Those assassins, do you know each other?" The person who spoke was the head of the Gu family, Gu Rongsheng, with a slight question in his tone.
Ah Qi is a little confused, assassin? Naturally, she didn't recognize it, "The slave didn't recognize it," Ah Qi thought, couldn't it be that she had been asleep for too long?
"Why are you there today?" Ah Qi listened to Gu Rongsheng's tone and the eyes of the Gu family's group of people of all sizes looking at her, and always felt a little ill-intentioned, as if he was interrogating her, as if he was looking at a clown?
Ah Qi thought, although I had no intention, but my bad heart is also good, seeing that your old lady is an old person, and she is alone, and she is about to suffer, so she naturally wants to come to the rescue, which is also to blame Ah Qi, always nosy, this is a bad thing, you have to change!
Ah Qi knelt on the ground, lowered his head and thought to himself, but did not speak.
At this time, Aunt Sun, who was standing, opened her mouth and said, "It was the slave maid who led her over, thinking that there were also more people waiting in the garden," as if she was explaining something for Ah Qi.
The eyes of the man in white clothes looked at the lantern exhibitions on the left and right from time to time, as if he was concentrating on the selection, and he seemed to be careless.
"Childe is about to marry a wife and start a family, there is a custom in the southern capital, and the lantern to people means affection, is Childe paying attention to Princess Jing?"
On the day of the arrival of the Lantern Festival, buy a lantern, at the time of the fireworks, give it to the beloved, it is a promise of a lifetime, which is customary in the southern capital, and so on the second day, the man will carry the dowry to the woman's house to propose, ask for a beautiful woman, take the lantern as a token, and form a couple's affection.
Everyone said that the men and women who saw each other that day were blessed by the lantern lady, and they could ensure a smooth relationship for a lifetime, and they would never be separated.
"I don't know about this custom," compared to the exuberance of the former, the latter seemed much more indifferent, and there was even a hint of mockery in this indifference.
Everyone knows the customs, how can he not know them?
The implication is that you don't like the "Princess Jing" in his mouth?
"It's not too late for Childe to know now, Princess Jing was born in the royal family, and her mother is the daughter of the Tanglin family, and her talent and appearance are also first-class, she is the first beauty of the ten, and she has the affection to grow up with Childe since childhood, it must be a match, if Childe wants to marry a wife, his subordinates really can't think of a better candidate besides Princess Jing,"
The man in black didn't care about his perfunctory look, he was still chattering vigorously, and his words were full of pride, as if his son-in-law was really the best man in the world, and no one could compare with him.
"You've talked a little more today."
The man in white stopped in front of a lantern stall, the scale of this shop stall is not very large, the boss should also be an indifferent person, unlike the many noises made around the left and right in order to attract business, just sit quietly on the stool on the side, looking at the pedestrians on the road, bustling, but can lead people unconsciously, perhaps this boss is the most understanding person, today's protagonist, is the one by one carefully carved, can bring people good expectations of the lanterns, not everyone present.
The man in white was fiddling with a small lantern placed in the most conspicuous place, just a simple and small rabbit, but what made people curious and looked at it twice was that the eyes of this little rabbit were not red, but a faint blue with a little purple.
"That's it," he said in a light tone, slowly opening his mouth, intending to pay to take it away.
When the person behind him heard this, he lowered his head and began to take out the money and put it on the shelf of the stall.
"I'm sorry, this boy, this lantern has been set by a girl first," the boss saw this, but slowly stood up and explained.
"Girl?" The man in black who said it was a little surprised, and it was the first time he heard that a woman took the initiative to buy lanterns, which was really strange.
It's just that others don't think so.
Because in the next second, Xiao Jingyi was red-faced and angry, and slapped away Ah Qi's hand holding the handkerchief, knocking Ah Qi's hand aside, and the handkerchief in his hand also fell to the side.
A bright red mark appeared on Ah Qi's hand.
Xiao Jingyi worked very hard, it should be a special grievance, and vented all the grievances she suffered in Gu Nantian today on Ah Qi's body, Ah Qi can also understand, being ignored by her sweetheart like this, and being seen by someone she doesn't like, she feels very embarrassed, and it is normal and understandable to lose her temper.
So, girls don't fall in love with someone easily, especially if they fall in love with someone who doesn't love themselves, because it's very hard, the beginning is hard, the process is hard, and the ending is naturally the same hard.
After all, there are too many poor people in this world, each with their own pitiful, it is unclear, and Xiao Jingyi is already extra lucky compared to many people, and Ah Qi doesn't like this delicate and willful little princess with no one in her eyes, so Ah Qi doesn't plan to stay long, "If the princess dislikes the slave and maid, and feels that the slave and maid are here to be an eyesore, the slave and maid will retire first," After saying that, Ah Qi planned to leave.
Just the next second after Ah Qi turned to leave, he was stopped by Xiao Jingyi, "You stop!" "A roar, or an order, to be precise.
Ah Qi felt very helpless, it seemed that he couldn't escape today, "What else does the princess command?" So he turned around, smiled, and said with a good temperament.
"Today's matter, you are not allowed to say it, and you are not allowed to mention a word to others," it turns out that Xiao Jingyi is afraid of being embarrassed, this is simple, Ah Qi thought to himself, I don't have so much spare time to do these boring things, besides, Ah Qi plans to live longer.
"If I find out and I hear a little gossip, I..." Xiao Jingyi was still a little uneasy, but she didn't say anything, what was she going to do, this appearance is still a little cute.
Ah Qi thought to himself, this little princess, her heart shouldn't be so bad.
Before she could think of what she was going to do with Ah Qi, Ah Qi took the lead in opening her mouth and replied, "Don't worry, princess," Ah Qi said very firmly, very convincingly, she really won't say it, in order to make this princess feel at ease, Ah Qi also added, "The slave didn't see anything, didn't hear anything,"
"So, can the slave and maid retire?" At this moment, Xiao Jingyi should also rest assured.
"Let's go," Xiao Jingyi didn't go to see Ah Qi, but shook her hand impatiently, signaling that Ah Qi could go.
The next second, he was stopped again, "Come back!" ”
Ah Qi sighed, what else is going on?! It's really endless, endless?!
"Is there anything else the princess has to tell the slave?"
"Gu Nantian is the person I like, I don't allow you to like him, and I don't allow you to rob you from me, and you don't deserve it," Xiao Jingyi said.
"Brother Nan, he is just a good person, I can't see others being wronged, look at you pitiful, no name or surname, so I kindly gave you a name, it's just kind, you remember, even if you change a cat and dog on the side of the road, it's the same, did you hear it?!"
is declaring sovereignty with Ah Qi, but will this be a little too early, and a little inexplicable, these are just two people who can't be beaten by eight poles, and they are all shadowless things, your suspicion is too serious, right?!
"......" Ah Qi didn't know what to say, it was a little ridiculous, Ah Qi thought to himself, how charming this Gu Gongzi is, he can make people so obsessed, and he is a little stunned.
Maybe it was Ah Qi's speechlessness for a moment and her hesitation to say something, which made Xiao Jingyi feel that she really had this idea, and with this thought, she stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and unceremoniously pushed Ah Qi, this is really a disaster without reason, a disaster without reason.
Because it was under the corridor of the courtyard, Ah Qi was a little absent-minded, so he didn't pay attention to Xiao Jingyi's sudden approach and sudden stretch of hand, and he didn't expect her to be so hard, but after thinking about it, she was indeed very hard, just like she slapped herself in the morning, and she was also very hard.
In this way, Ah Qi was almost pushed down and turned out of this corridor, looking like he was about to turn his head down, and if it was serious, he might even die.
As for why it was said to be almost, and why it was said to be watching, it was because in the next second, Ah Qi was dragged on his back, pulled back, and accidentally fell into the arms of others.
The person who was fortunate enough to save Ah Qiyi's life is called Gu Siyuan, who is the son of the Gu family's big house, Gu Siyuan.
"She is a human being, she can always be compared to a cat and a dog on the side of the road, and the princess is too bullying,"
"You! You're nosy! ”
"Even if the princess is a golden branch and a noble body, she can't arrange people at will, embarrass people, and when she says it, it can't help but make people laugh and lose her big teeth, "Since you say that her status is low, unqualified, and unworthy, but you still want to be involved with her here, isn't it self-surrendering."
"Are you going to protect this little maid?" Xiao Jingyi has always been aggressive, refusing to forgive people, seeing everyone is such a high-minded appearance, it is really irritating, fortunately, the weather has not been hot recently, otherwise it will be even more irritable, Ah Qi suddenly felt that Xiao Jingyi was not cute at all.
"What? This is the Gu family, as the son of the Gu family, can't I still be the master of a servant? Gu Siyuan also looked unrelenting, and he did not lose to Xiao Jingyi at all in terms of momentum.
Ah Qi looked at Gu Siyuan's posture and wondered if it was just for a little maid.
Ah Qi thought that although Gu Siyuan's mother was later helped to the position of wife, the eldest grandmother of the Gu family did not give birth to a son and a half daughter, and Gu Siyuan was also born after his mother got a wife, so he can be regarded as the eldest son of the Gu family who is justified and logical, and he can be regarded as a hard-working person, but it is a pity that his mother was honored because of him, but he was implicated because of his mother.
Lin Nianzhen is not liked by the old lady because of her bad background and very humble, plus she is a person who entered the Gu family by her wrist, so her reputation is not good, and what that group of people value most is her background status and reputation, so it is conceivable that Lin Nianzhen's life in the Gu family is not easy, and her life outside is naturally not easy.
Even if he has the name of a wife in the main house, it is empty, so even Gu Siyuan is tired, few people can look down on him, when mentioning the son of the Gu family, what he often talks about is nothing more than Gu Nantian and Gu Siyuan, one is an inconspicuous concubine, but everyone is precious, and the other is a concubine, but everyone tramples on it, and no one pays attention to it.
Come to think of it, Gu Siyuan has heard a lot of gossip over the years, not to mention that now that Gu Nan has come back again, it should be even more serious, today's old lady's birthday, Gu Siyuan doesn't seem to appear in front of people, and he should feel uncomfortable.
Ah Qi suddenly felt a little distressed about the young master of the Gu family in front of him, God is always so unfair to people, it seems to have given a person a lot of things, but in fact, he has invisibly taken away a lot of things, it seems to have given a person a lot of things, but in fact, he has also lost a lot, such as Gu Siyuan, such as Gu Nantian.
They are all very pitiful people arranged by fate.
Ah Qi felt that this Gu Siyuan was very elegant, and a bit old-fashioned, two completely different types from Gu Nantian, he should be a typical reader, and Gu Nantian was a bit like those Chu Ke in the Red Mansion.
One thing I have to mention is that Ah Qi felt very strange, Ah Qi didn't think it was in the past, but now that I think about it, I feel that it is, the Gu family is everyone, and it should be in line with the words, the eldest young master of the Gu family is called Gu Siyuan, and the younger brothers and sisters, younger brothers and sisters in the front and back, big and small, should be the Sizi generation who follow Gu Siyuan and follow together, and it is indeed the case, for example, Gu Sien, Gu Si'e, etc., but Gu Nantian is always so abrupt, which is too strange.
Although it is said that the name Gu Nantian has obtained is indeed very good.
Although it is indeed very good to say that the name Gu Nantian has obtained, the beauty is in the city, and Gu Nantian is in the city.
At this time, Ah Qi thought, maybe it was Gu Nantian, I don't know why, when facing Gu Siyuan, Ah Qi suddenly remembered Gu Nantian's face, Ah Qi felt that it should be the best-looking man he had ever seen, even if he was compared in the women's pile, it was also very good-looking.
I heard that Gu Nantian's mother is a rare beauty, which can be described as amazing, which makes many men moved, but unfortunately, Ah Qi is not that lucky to see her, but I heard that she died early, and she was a rare beauty when she was born, but it is not surprising, as for how beautiful it is, the face that takes care of Nantian will be known, Gu Nantian is very good-looking, and her mother is naturally beautiful.
Ah Qi felt very regretful, if only he could see how beautiful that legendary beauty was. Maybe it's because Ah Qi is superficial, Ah Qi always wants to get close to good-looking people, Ah Qi always simply thinks that good-looking people must be very easy to get along with, because they have been blessed since birth and have gotten more things than others.
It's just that Ah Qi is a rough girl, she hasn't seen anything in the world, and she can't see anyone else on weekdays, but today she has seen a lot of people in one day, Ah Qi feels that they are all good-looking, well-dressed, and good-looking, and every single release is a dazzling existence in the crowd, but one day today, when I saw so many people, Ah Qi suddenly felt that his previous thoughts might be wrong, and he may really be like many people said, thinking too simple, and very simple, Even silly.
Ah Qi just patted his head in his heart, and it was a little difficult to understand what he was thinking, and why he suddenly thought about these messy things.
Xiao Jingyi probably didn't expect Gu Siyuan to say such a thing directly in front of her, she was a little speechless and very embarrassed for a while, and after a while, Xiao Jingyi said a sentence, "What about the Gu family?" It's not that she was born from a humble background, but she has a lowly woman as a mother,"
These are Xiao Jingyi's original words.
I have to say that Xiao Jingyi's words are really hurtful, no matter what, you can't talk about other people's mothers like this in front of other people's sons, let alone say it, it can be regarded as Xiao Jingyi's elders, and you shouldn't talk about it casually, after all, we are not them, and we don't know what the past between them is, since it is not something that happened to us, what qualifications do you have to talk about it casually.
Ah Qi obviously noticed the change in Gu Siyuan's expression standing beside her, his expression was very complicated, his whole face turned red all of a sudden, flushed, the green tendons on his neck were bulging, he clenched his fists, clenched his fists tightly, Ah Qi even felt that maybe in the next second, Gu Siyuan would go up and slap Xiao Jingyi, although she was a princess, she was still a pampered princess.
And Xiao Jingyi still had a provocative expression, as if she was feeling proud of winning a game.
After a few seconds, Gu Siyuan let go of his clenched hands, and lowered his head slightly, Ah Qi knew that he gave up, he admitted defeat, and he also bowed his head. Gu Siyuan couldn't do anything, even if she bullied his mother, because that was an indisputable fact.
The southern capital, located in the south, is the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, it is lively and extraordinary, attracting people to see, and there is an endless stream.
The annual lantern festival in the southern capital city is even more famous, hosted by the royal family and nobles in person, it is a good couple, it is a very romantic day, the flower is full of moon, full of affection, and it is naturally a Yuan Zhi Festival that everyone wants to get together.
"Childe, are you going to buy lanterns for Princess Jing?"
"Yes,"
The master and servant walked on the street one after the other, the master in white clothes striding meteor in front of him, and the servant in black followed by the black black fir in small steps.
The eyes of the man in white clothes looked at the lantern exhibitions on the left and right from time to time, as if he was concentrating on the selection, and he seemed to be careless.
"Childe is about to marry a wife and start a family, there is a custom in the southern capital, and the lantern to people means affection, is Childe paying attention to Princess Jing?"
On the day of the arrival of the Lantern Festival, buy a lantern, at the time of the fireworks, give it to the beloved, it is a promise of a lifetime, which is customary in the southern capital, and so on the second day, the man will carry the dowry to the woman's house to propose, ask for a beautiful woman, take the lantern as a token, and form a couple's affection.
Everyone said that the men and women who saw each other that day were blessed by the lantern lady, and they could ensure a smooth relationship for a lifetime, and they would never be separated.
"I don't know about this custom," compared to the exuberance of the former, the latter seemed much more indifferent, and there was even a hint of mockery in this indifference.
Everyone knows the customs, how can he not know them?
The implication is that you don't like the "Princess Jing" in his mouth?
"It's not too late for Childe to know now, Princess Jing was born in the royal family, and her mother is the daughter of the Tanglin family, and her talent and appearance are also first-class, she is the first beauty of the ten, and she has the affection to grow up with Childe since childhood, it must be a match, if Childe wants to marry a wife, his subordinates really can't think of a better candidate besides Princess Jing,"
The man in black didn't care about his perfunctory look, he was still chattering vigorously, and his words were full of pride, as if his son-in-law was really the best man in the world, and no one could compare with him.
"You've talked a little more today."
The man in white stopped in front of a lantern stall, the scale of this shop stall is not very large, the boss should also be an indifferent person, unlike the many noises made around the left and right in order to attract business, just sit quietly on the stool on the side, looking at the pedestrians on the road, bustling, but can lead people unconsciously, perhaps this boss is the most understanding person, today's protagonist, is the one by one carefully carved, can bring people good expectations of the lanterns, not everyone present.

When the person behind him heard this, he lowered his head and began to take out the money and put it on the shelf of the stall.
"I'm sorry, this boy, this lantern has been set by a girl first," the boss saw this, but slowly stood up and explained.
"Girl?" The man in black who said it was a little surprised, and it was the first time he heard that a woman took the initiative to buy lanterns, which was really strange.
There is a conventional saying in the southern capital, that is, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the woman personally buys the lantern, which is unlucky, so even if she likes it, she will ask her father and brother or any other man in the family to buy the lantern and give it to her, just for an auspicious marriage.
The black-clothed man continued to ask curiously, "Since it has already been decided, why do you want to put it here for people to buy and sell?" Isn't it intentional to entertain people? ”
Listening to his tone, he seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and glanced at the "rabbit" lantern in his son's hand, which was not so special, very ordinary, but seeing the appearance of his son's love for it, he should like it very much.
Since it has been bought, it is still in its original place, and it is still favored by his son-in-law, but he can't buy it home, what does it mean?
"That's right, the girl said that she liked this lantern very much, but at this time she was suffering from no beloved to give it away, so she let the old man keep it, and put it in the most conspicuous place, and when she found her beloved in the future, she would come to pick it up." The boss explained unhurriedly.

He is a living by making lanterns, is a small craft, has made countless lanterns, has seen countless people, every year here set up a stall, guarding the lanterns, watching the predecessors and back, coming and going, stop-and-go, lively.
"Your boss is really interesting," the man in black chuckled, looked at his son-in-law on the side and fiddled with the lantern in his hand with a lonely and thoughtful expression, and refused to let go, with a hint of regret in his eyes, he should like it very much.
His son-in-law is indifferent by nature, he is indifferent to everything, and he rarely shows any special reluctance to something, but today is the first time he has seen it, and the object is still a small lantern that seems ordinary to him.
The man in black couldn't bear to see his son-in-law like this, so he smiled and asked seriously, "Boss, is there more?" ”
"The lantern is for the beloved girl, since it is a girl on the tip of the heart, how can there be more?" The boss smiled and continued, "Each one of my lanterns is unique, and there is no second superfluous one," the boss replied.
It seems that there is not much, and looking at the stubborn and stubborn appearance of the boss, it seems that his son-in-law
