Outside the carriage, it snowed on a cold night. A gust of wind blew and lifted the curtain on the carriage window. The light poured into the windows, illuminating the interior.

Outside the window, there are lights on both sides of the street. Murong Yi looked at the bright lights and said to Jian Xiaozhu: "That time I went to eat in the Jade Building, I saw Fang Jingwan tell the boss of the Jade Building that she was unwilling to sit under the same eaves with the girl from the Tianxiang Pavilion to eat, and asked the boss to drive out the Yingying girl who was eating. At that time, I didn't know who Fang Jingwan was, and I didn't know Miss Yingying. I ......"

Murong Yi paused, and then said, "I just think that Miss Yingying didn't do anything wrong and shouldn't be treated like this, so I stepped forward to help her, and I offended Miss Fang because of this." ”

After that, Murong Yi also added: "I helped Miss Yingying this time, and I haven't met her again after that." ”

Unexpectedly, the truth of the matter was like this, Jian Xiaozhu suddenly said to Murong Yi with emotion: "King Ning, it is really commendable that you can help Miss Yingying on such an occasion. You...... is really a very good person, if I were a warbler girl, I would definitely be very moved, maybe I would want to make a promise. ”

Murong Yi hurriedly shook his head: "Just make a promise, I won't be engaged to a person for life just because of Pingshui." ”

Jian Xiaozhu smiled: "Yes." But the warbler girl turned out to be the top brand of the Tianxiang Pavilion, it must be very good-looking, right? ”

Murong Yi nodded: "Naturally." Then he thought of something, shook his head and explained: "It's not ...... either"

Jian Xiaozhu: "So yes or no?" ”

Murong Yi replied: "Yes, but I won't be tempted by a girl just because she is good-looking." ”

After saying that, Murong Yi suddenly looked at Jian Xiaozhu, and there seemed to be the light of the stars reflected in his eyes. However, Jian Xiaozhu looked out the window and found that there was no shadow of stars in the night sky.

When she looked at Murong Yi's eyes again, Jian Xiaozhu found that Murong Yi was looking at her, her eyes were as gentle as snow. This made Jian Xiaozhu stunned, and he suddenly didn't dare to look into his eyes.

Murong Yi looked at Jian Xiaozhu, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words again when he was about to blurt out, and said to Jian Xiaozhu: "Xiaozhuzi, tomorrow night, let's go to the river to put Kong Ming lanterns." ”

Jian Xiaozhu wanted to agree, but remembered that Zhang Shanqing said that Murong Yi was going to the palace to attend a banquet on the day of the Lantern Festival, so Jian Xiaozhu asked: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, don't you have to go to the palace?" ”

Murong Yi said: "The imperial grandmother will go to Wangjiang Tower tomorrow night to light prayer lamps for the people, so the dinner party in the palace ends relatively early. Accompany the imperial grandmother to light the lamp...... Well, I'll come to you directly, and we won't have to go to the river to meet. ”

Jian Xiaozhu was puzzled: "How do you find me?" ”

Murong Yi smiled: "You come downstairs to Wangjiang Tower to see the prayer lamp, I think, I will find you in the crowd soon." ”

Jian Xiaozhu: "That's very difficult. ”

Murong Yi: "Why, you don't believe me?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu looked at Murong Yi, and in the light that came in from the window, she saw Murong Yi's handsome and peerless face in the light and shadow, and his eyes that were as sincere as moonlight, which made her heartbeat beat slightly faster.

So, she nodded to Murong Yi: "I believe you." So, that's it. ”

Back at Zhang's Mansion, when Jian Xiaozhu passed by the lotus pond, he saw Zhang Shanqing standing by the lotus pond in a daze. So she walked over with a light footstep, but heard Zhang Shanqing say, "I know you're back." ”

Jian Xiaozhu walked to Zhang Shanqing's side, but heard him say in a faint voice: "Chu Han, she is a very good woman." A rough person like me always feels that I am not worthy of her. ”

I didn't expect Zhang Shanqing, who has always been optimistic, to have such troubles, Jian Xiaozhu sighed, and then slapped him on the top of the head: "Second brother, don't be presumptuous." I think you're very good, and Miss Liu praised you for your youth and promisingness before. ”

Zhang Shanqing shook his head: "I have been fighting all year round, in case I ...... one day"

"Phew!" Jian Xiaozhu interrupted Zhang Shanqing: "Crow's mouth!" Our old Zhang family can wait for the day when you will attain the Tao and ascend to heaven after you have made contributions in the future. ”

"What kind of chicken dog ascends to heaven......" Zhang Shanqing looked at Jian Xiaozhu speechlessly, but was suddenly amused by her words and said, "Forget it, you are still young." However, you seem to be right. ”

After that, Zhang Shanqing got up, patted the ash behind his buttocks, and then said to Jian Xiaozhu: "It's getting late, you go to sleep quickly." Tomorrow for the Lantern Festival, the second brother will take you out to watch the Lantern Festival. ”

So the next day, after having dinner early, Jian Xiaozhu dressed up and followed Zhang Shanqing out.

Since the Empress Dowager and the Emperor would go out of the palace to light prayer lamps for the people on the side of Wangjiang Tower, the streets around Wangjiang Tower were already crowded with pedestrians. The shops and houses on both sides of the street are lit up with daylight lights, illuminating the entire area.

Jian Xiaozhu followed Zhang Shanqing to the Qinghe River not far from Wangjiang Tower, and saw that Liu Chuhan was already standing there, talking and laughing with Zhang Ruohe. When he saw Zhang Shanqing, Liu Chuhan smiled and said, "It seems that the first time we met was also on the night of the Lantern Festival. ”

Jian Xiaozhu remembered that Zhang Shanqing had told her about the first meeting between him and Liu Chuhan. This made Jian Xiaozhu smile and said, "It seems that today is a very special day for the second brother and sister-in-law." ”

Jian Xiaozhu's words made Liu Chuhan blush and lower his head, while Zhang Shanqing slapped Jian Xiaozhu on the back of the head: "What is this girl talking nonsense!" ”

Jian Xiaozhu smiled at Zhang Shanqing and stuck out his tongue, then hugged Zhang Ruohe's arm and said, "Sister Ruohe, let's go buy lanterns." ”

"Okay."

But I thought that I would have to go to Murong Yi later, and I couldn't let Zhang Ruohe be alone. So Jian Xiaozhu said to Zhang Shanqing: "You and Sister Chu Han don't run away, I'll come to you later." ”

"Got it, got it." Zhang Shanqing nodded: "I have already booked a seat in the teahouse opposite Wangjiang Tower, and when the time comes, let's go there to see the lights." ”

After speaking, Jian Xiaozhu took Zhang Ruohe's arm and walked towards the lantern stall. On the way, Jian Xiaozhu thought of something and said to Zhang Ruohe: "I saw Cheng Gongzi at the dinner in King Ning's Mansion yesterday. ”

Hearing Jian Xiaozhu mention Cheng Yu, Zhang Ruohe paused, and then asked, "Cheng Yu." ”

Jian Xiaozhu nodded: "Cheng Gongzi seems to be a talent." And he didn't go to the dinner party when he saw you yesterday, and he still cares about your ......"

In the crowd, Jian Xiaozhu saw a somewhat familiar figure passing by. She stopped talking and froze in place, rubbing her eyes. I just wanted to chase after him, but his arm was pulled by Zhang Ruohe: "Yunzhu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu looked into the crowd again and found that the back that looked very similar to Zhu Yan had disappeared. Jian Xiaozhu was only dazzled by herself, and said, "It's nothing." What was I talking about? Oh, yes, Cheng Gongzi ......"

As soon as Jian Xiaozhu turned around, he saw Cheng Yu's fox-like face appear in front of them, and greeted them with a smile: "Ruohe, I didn't expect to meet you here." Oh, Miss Yunzhu, why are you here? ”

Zhang Ruohe glanced at Cheng Yu and pulled Jian Xiaozhu and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Cheng Yu: "Ruohe, since I met you on the street, I will go with you to see the lanterns." ”

Jian Xiaozhu thought that this person's face was quite thick-skinned, but seeing that although Zhang Ruohe didn't speak, he didn't show impatience, so he said, "Then let's go together." ”
