Chapter Seventy-One: Not a Humble Gentleman
Tang Xuanlin didn't make any expression, "That's it, don't care about him, Chun Tao, did Chang'an come out to look for you?" ”
Chun Tao lowered her head and pursed her lips, looking shy, Bu Tong suddenly said,
"It turned out that you still had Chang'an to invite you, but I, who was a young lady, forgot about this layer and delayed you in vain."
Chun Tao hurriedly shook her head again and again, "Miss, what are you talking about, Chun Tao never dared to think like this." ”
Tang Xuanlin pulled Butong and walked out,
"That's it, Chuntao, you go to Chang'an, I'll take care of your young lady."
Chun Tao looked at the back of the two leaving, "Miss, this, how is this possible?" ”
Bu Tong waved his hand aggressively,
"It's okay, follow in January, there won't be any accidents, you can go too."
The two of them walked to the bustling and lively street, full of lights and crowds, different from the solemn sacrifice of the Xia Yuan Festival, this Lantern Festival is really jubilant, laughter and laughter everywhere.
"Xuanlin, look!" Bu Tong looked at the craftsman who played the iron flower next to him and threw the molten iron high, splashing the sky full of splendor, but it was more dazzling and beautiful than modern fireworks, and he exclaimed again and again.
Tang Xuanlin looked at Bu Tong's brilliant smiling face, smiled very happily, and gently held Bu Tong's hand under the long sleeves, and the warm feeling slowly came over, although it was not the first time, but it was different from the previous numb feeling, Bu Tong felt that from the hands that were clasped together, slowly the whole body began to stiffen and numb, and slowly became hot.
That's about how I really like him, and that's ......
Bu Tong held him tightly with his backhand, and his bright face smiled brighter than the moonlight tonight,
"Xuanlin, shall we go to the Treasure Pavilion to take a look at the mask?"
Tang Xuanlin looked at the men, women and children around him, most of them were wearing various masks, the two of them showed beautiful faces, their posture was excellent, the return rate was too high, it was not good if they were recognized, Tang Xuanlin nodded,
"Go take one."
Bu Tong smiled and dragged Tang Xuanlin through all kinds of small stalls, and then arrived at the door of the treasure pavilion, the most brilliant mask made here is the master's craftsmanship, the number is not much, and it is also very expensive, but it is better than the craftsmanship and the patterns are also chic, so the ladies and sons in Kyoto City also came to buy it early.
The shopkeeper naturally recognized Butong, Tang Xuanlin followed not far away, so as not to be remembered by these shrewd shopkeepers, the shopkeeper waved away his buddies and personally entertained Butong, smiling very brightly,
"The county lord, but you're here to choose a mask?"
Bu Tong smiled and nodded,
"Exactly, what other styles are there, take them out and see."
The shopkeeper mysteriously took out a wooden box from the bottom, "The county lord is really here, and there is only one last best pair left in the store, which is reserved for the mother." ”
Bu Tong looked at him with a smile, and couldn't help but joke,
"The shopkeeper is really good at doing business, I'm afraid I can keep the last pair and sell it for a good price."
The shopkeeper didn't deny it, just smiled "hehe", stretched out his hand to open the box, revealing two exquisite masks, "Niangniang, please see, this is the best pair made by this master, and it depicts a heavenly official and a goddess, and it is a perfect pair, and the meaning is good." ”
Bu Tong was very satisfied, and reached out and threw one to Tang Xuanlin,
"I want it."
Tang Xuanlin didn't turn his head, he turned around with it directly, the shopkeeper's eyes stayed on Tang Xuanlin, and he didn't recognize which noble son this was for a long time, "This is ......"
Bu Tong took out a gold leaf and said to him,
"Shopkeeper, what was the most fun thing in Kyoto City during the Lantern Festival in the past?"
The shopkeeper was about to start talking, but his face suddenly froze, and an unceremonious voice sounded, "Okay, you old Taotou, why did you say that you didn't say anything when my Xiaoyu asked you just now?" What's going on now? ”
Bu Tong looked back at the man, five big and three thick, covered in silk and satin jade and rings, there must be no doubt who was the loser of the family, and he was not polite to him,
"This son, in the end, we got it first, when I was about the shopkeeper, I forgot this pair, and I think it is not fate with the son, in addition to the famous craftsman's workshop in the Treasure Pavilion, there are many other masks, and the son can choose it."
The beautiful woman beside the man leaned on him like no bones, and her voice was coquettish, "Su Gongzi, look at this woman, how dare you talk to Gongzi like this." ”
The shopkeeper panicked, and this party wanted to explain, "Master Su, this is ......"
The person known as Su Gongzi squeezed Tang Xuanlin away, and the whole person came to Bu Tong's face with a surprised face, and smiled disgustingly, "Which house is this young lady from?" In Xia Sujie, I would like to accompany Miss to see the lanterns. ”
Bu Tong smiled disdainfully, it turned out to be Su Ruihai's bastard son, and he really had some bad fate. I saw it today, and the market evaluation really didn't say anything wrong about him, and he didn't want to be destroyed when he came out with Tang Xuanlin, Bu Tong tied his mask and threw down a gold leaf to the shopkeeper, and pulled Tang Xuanlin,
"Thank you for your kindness, the little girl's background in a small family, I don't dare to disturb my son's ears, so I will retire."
After saying that, he was about to leave, Tang Xuanlin saw that Bu Tong wanted to calm things down, and guessed that this gentleman was also the son of a high-ranking official, and he was now shopping alone with Bu Tong at the Lantern Festival, if someone noticed it, it would be bad.
That Xiaoyu was also pulling Su Jie to be coquettish, "Master Su, don't pay attention to these rural village girls, let's go see the lantern riddles?" ”
Su Jie waved her away, and the person who was still willing to stand up for her was now waiting for her coldly, like looking at a wild dog, "Get away, when will it be your turn to speak?" ”
Xiaoyu lowered her head and wept on the side, and Su Jie chased back and blocked the two of them at the door.
"Little lady, don't be in a hurry to go, what's the good thing about following this little white face, follow this little master, there are still many good days ahead."
Butong couldn't hold back any longer, looked up at him coldly,
"Master Su, why bother if it is difficult for a strong man? Not all women imagine a good life around their son, and the little girl just wants to raise the case with her sweetheart, not for the love of the son. ”
After saying that, he tightly pulled Tang Xuanlin's fist that was clenching tighter and tighter,
"Let's go."
How could Su Jie stop like this, and directly stepped forward and took Butong's other hand,
"Master just has a crush on you, if you are willing to do the best, if you don't want to, tonight, you are mine."
Butong broke free for a while, without a trace of panic,
"Is Su Gongzi going to rob the people's daughter?"
Su Jie snorted, "So what?" Is it difficult for the little white face next to you to dare to say half a 'no' to your master? ”
Bu Tong sighed softly, Tang Xuanlin raised his feet here, Su Jie was still smiling proudly one second, and the next second he was already kicked on the counter next to him, crushing a table full of cloth, Bu Tong threw down two gold leaves, and said to the trembling shopkeeper behind him,
"There are many disturbances, please forgive the shopkeeper, these lunches should be used as compensation."
Then he glanced at Xiao Yu and the entourage who shouted to help Su Jie, and walked away with a disdainful "snort".
The street was already lively to the peak, Bu Tong pulled Tang Xuanlin to watch the juggling, saw that half of the big boy quickly climbed onto the pole, played all kinds of tricks, and cheered on the side, Bu Tong turned his head to look at Tang Xuanlin's straight nose bridge and thin lips, only felt that it was also very good-looking to cover half of his face like this,
"Xuanlin, the one just now, is the Kyoto Mansion Yin, Su Ruihai's son, two days ago his father came to visit the Nanguo Mansion and begged his father to find a way out for his prodigal son in the spring examination."
Tang Xuanlin smiled coldly,
"With such a son, who would dare to be a guarantor."
Bu Tong watched the boy at the head of the pole stand upside down and greeted everyone, causing a burst of applause and laughing softly,
"Father is not the kind of person who does things for the sake of a little favor, if the children and grandchildren of the official family have their own talents, and they come to participate in the spring examination in their own right, they may not have a good future, but now it seems that this son of Su Jie is really not on the stage."
Tang Xuanlin nodded,
"Tong'er is going to guess the lantern riddle?"
Butong suddenly became interested,
"Okay, I heard that if you guess the lantern riddle, you can get a very beautiful lantern at the boss."
Tang Xuanlin smiled and went to pull Butong's hand, and the hands of the two shook hands familiarly under the long sleeves, and walked towards the bright place of the lantern.
There were quite a lot of people gathered here, and Bu Tong looked at the lanterns above his head expectantly,
"Let's guess, there's a nice rabbit lamp there."
Tang Xuanlin looked along Butong's line of sight, and sure enough, there was a pink rabbit lamp in the corner, the candlelight was shining, it was very cute, and the smile was very bright.
"Okay."
The two were walking and stopping in the lanterns, looking for a lantern riddle that could be solved, and suddenly there was an exclamation from everyone behind them, Bu Tong looked back, it was Su Jie who pressed his waist while beckoning the officials behind him,
"It's these two people, dare to move my son, take it for the master!"
"You dare!" Tang Xuanlin stood in front of Bu Tong, "Su Gongzi openly robbed the people's daughters, do you have to endure it for others, in this Kyoto city, there is no royal law at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" ”
Su Jie laughed arrogantly, "Wang Fa? The master will tell you that in this Kyoto city, the master is the king! ”
Bu Tong looked at a signal that went straight into the sky, thinking that it was not good to throw it out in January, so he took advantage of the situation to hold down Tang Xuanlin's hand to take off the mask, and whispered,
"Don't act rashly, there are a lot of people here, it's not good if you are recognized, Jinyiwei will be here soon, you might as well wait."
The two of them were then taken to the Kyoto Prefecture by the officials in the sighs of the people, and the fire in the backyard was soaring, and the torches made a "crackling" burning sound, which was completely different from the lanterns outside.
"Little lady, it's up to you to perform now, if you make the master happy, maybe your little white face can get a whole corpse, if the master is not happy, then I will cut him with a knife."
Tang Xuanlin stared at Su Jie fiercely like a person from hell, as if the person in front of him was already a dead corpse......
Su Jie noticed the eyes here, he was very displeased, looking at Tang Xuanlin's dress and dress, he thought that it was a noble son who learned literature and etiquette, and he was even more arrogant, "I'll count three, if the little lady doesn't come to kiss me, I'll cut off the fingers of this little white face!" ”
A servant hurriedly came over, "Young, young master, there are a lot of them outside, Jinyi Guard, surround the government office." ”
Su Jie is a strong outsider, and he panicked instantly,
"Jin Yiwei?! Why? Our house has never exceeded its duty, why did the people from Dongchang come? What about the father? Come on, go and ask my father to go home! ”
As soon as the words fell, Tang Xuanlin got up and stepped forward, grabbed Su Jie's neck with an iron grip, and ripped off his mask with the other hand.
"You want to cut off their Governor's fingers, shouldn't they come?"
Su Jie was so scared that he was sweating profusely, "Tang, Tang, you are ...... Tang"
The surrounding officials naturally thought of who this beautiful and gloomy man in front of them was, and suddenly they lost their appearance, and they all hung their heads in despair.
Bu Tong realized that the person who held his hand and smiled slightly and whispered softly was not a humble gentleman in the first place, he was a Yama ghost.
