Chapter 177: Keeping the Promise
"Rui'er, get up!" Touching his big cold hand to Jiang Chuge's warm face, Jiang Chuge just wanted to scold, "What are you doing?" Take it aside. ”
I hid in the quilt and didn't even want to move, and after sleeping for an afternoon, the cramps in my warm face and lower abdomen were much better.
But Qin Ying was still going to make a mistake and woke her up.
Qin Ying felt a loss in her heart, and smiled silly, "Rui'er, didn't you say that you were going to go outside to see the lanterns?" It just so happens that now is the time to be lively, so let's eat after dinner in a while. ”
It's even colder when it's late.
Jiang Chuge dragged the quilt and stretched out his head to look out, but was pushed in by Qin Ying.
"The doors are closed, and you can't see anything. Hurry up and get dressed, and when you're sober, we'll go out for a walk. ”
For two years, he hasn't accompanied his little wife to visit the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, and this year the little girl will be sixteen, so she can't leave this regret again.
Jiang Chuge didn't know what Qin Ying was looking forward to, and he didn't want to move lazily, but there was no way, who made Qin Ying always want to pull her.
"Shall we go out to eat later, or do you mean you haven't eaten all day?"
Thinking that Qin Ying still went out in the morning and only came back now, Jiang Chuge felt that it was a little unauthentic to go out to eat.
Moreover, I don't know if I heard the rumors of Zhongzhou Mansion, Lord Jiang has been quiet this year, and he didn't even hold the banquet he liked in the past.
Lord Jiang was honest, and those salt merchants naturally followed quietly, and even at the end of the year, the crazy official salt price stabilized a lot.
Qin Ying was free today early, thanks to Lord Jiang's quietness.
"Master Jiang said that today's festival is over, let everyone accompany their families well today, so that everyone will disperse first, and there will always be guards and people patrolling the streets, so there will be no major trouble."
In fact, what Master Jiang said was more vulgar than this.
There are few petty thefts in Jiangzhou Mansion, and even if this is prevented, it can't be prevented.
As for the matter of walking water, Lord Jiang is even less worried, it is really that their Jiangzhou Mansion is full of water, and it is not easier to save it.
Master Jiang thought about it, which made Qin Ying, who was tense all the time, feel that he was blind and nervous.
When he really calmed down, Qin Ying felt that he was very handy and fast in doing things.
The Lantern Festival is the most leisurely festival for the people, even if the night has not really come, there are already a lot of people wandering on the street.
They went late, and it was the most lively time, walking on the bridge, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is crowded.
The candle flame of the lantern in the distance attracted the crowd to the street, and the Jiang Chu singer carried a red Lantern Festival lantern, well, there was nothing on the entire lantern, the whole thing was a ball.
The featureless lantern can be the most conspicuous in a pile of fancy lanterns, which is also the reason why she bought it.
"Well, my aesthetic picks are all unique." Holding the lantern high, Jiang Chuge felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Qin Ying looked at the red lantern, and his mind was about to be short.
"Rui'er's selection is really different!" Qin Ying nodded and glanced at the puppy lantern next to him, even if the puppy was a little red dog.
"It's the Year of the Rabbit, right? Why is there no one hanging a bunny outside? ”
Qin Ying had an afterthought, and took the tangyuan lantern that Jiang Chuge stuffed into his hand, feeling a little embarrassed.
There is no rabbit in the Year of the Rabbit, this is the old man's statement, Jiang Chuge doesn't understand why, "You don't understand traditional folk customs, when you are free, you can ask the storyteller, maybe you can solve the puzzle." ”
Jiang Chuge looked at a sandalwood hairpin in the stall and stuck it on his head.
"Where? Take a look, how about this hairpin? Isn't it pretty? "There is nothing special about the sandalwood hairpin, and the head of the hairpin is carved with a three-winged phoenix with wings spread, which makes her look at it.
Qin Ying only felt that the person in the distance looked familiar, but after a closer look, it seemed that he had seen it wrong, and narrowed his eyes.
looked at the sandalwood hairpin on the little wife's head, and directly took off the hairpin, "Rui'er, this is not enough to dislike the grade of a husband, can't you make people have a hairpin with a grade in the open?" ”
The phoenix hairpin, which is the bride of the Qin family, can only bring a peacock tail hairpin with a similar shape, like a three-winged phoenix hairpin, and the mother-in-law can wear it.
"Do you know I hate you? But this is not for myself, this is for my mother, my mother likes it. ”
Rudely snatched the hairpin from Qin Ying's hand, Jiang Chuge said that it was impossible not to regret it.
It's just that since it is a hairpin on her head, Jiang Chuge is not ready to buy it, and the jewelry that her mother carries has always been prepared by her father.
"Forget it, it's not nice to show me, let's go see something else."
The hairpin seller was an old woman, wearing coarse cloth clothes with white hair and patches, Jiang Chuge thought about it, and asked Qiushui to help buy several gadgets.
However, the old man just now, didn't he know that selling phoenix hairpins was unruly?
Qin Ying was even more sensitive than Jiang Chuge, and put away all the hairpins that Qiushui bought, and then pulled Jiang Chuge to stroll aimlessly.
"We looked at the jewelry just now, now let's go and see what is delicious on the street, you can also taste it."
The vendor carrying the sugar gourd walked in front of him, Qin Ying rubbed his stomach uncomfortably, and felt that he needed to come to two strings.
However, he is an adult man, not a child, and it is really indecent to eat children's things in public.
Therefore, he mentioned it very vaguely.
Jiang Chuge doesn't really want to eat sugar gourds, although they are used for sweet mouths, they can't be used as a meal?
"Let's go, you haven't eaten all day, let's go to the edge of East Lake to eat crab roe buns first, I heard that the crab roe buns are very famous, and many people are queuing up."
She hadn't eaten it yet, she had only heard of it.
Jiang Chuge pulled Qin Ying and walked quickly, and when they arrived at the small shop of crab roe buns, there was no place for them to stay.
"That's too many, isn't it?" Jiang Chuge was very surprised, with such a long queue, doesn't everyone think that crab roe buns are very expensive?
Contrary to Jiang Chuge's senses, Qin Ying instantly relaxed a lot when he saw such a long queue and his stomach that was already unable to hold up.
Finally, he doesn't have to burp in public, otherwise his reputation will be gone!
Qin Ying said that it would be nice if there were long queues outside all the stores.
And the reality is just as Qin Ying expected, wherever there is a delicious place, there must be a long queue, and those who do not line up cannot be said to be delicious.
For example, when he watched the target of the sugar gourd disappear from his eyes again, the target was left with a light rod, and the red sugar gourd was gone.
"Rui'er, what should I do, why don't we go back first? Or just find a place to eat? ”
Seeing that the fireworks have begun to be prepared on the river, everyone has begun to close the stalls, and after the fireworks, it is estimated that they can all go home and sleep.
In order to be able to see better fireworks, the two of them are at the front! It's the front!
I don't know which little cub was the first to react, haha's ridicule can penetrate the eardrum.
Qin Ying hurriedly wiped the black scum on his face, took out a clean handkerchief, and hurriedly helped his little wife clean up the ashes of the cannon battle on her face.
"Rui'er, mistakes, mistakes, we didn't stand in a good place, let's move back, just move."
It's terrible, really, even if he wants to find someone who wants to arrange fireworks, he can't find it now, especially if the fireworks are set off by the river, which are jointly donated by various merchants in Jiangzhou Prefecture, and he has no reason to settle accounts with others.
After all, it's not your own business.
I didn't eat the delicious food, and I was covered with scum and ashes, Jiang Chuge's mood was really not very good!
"Let's go, change places, go home!"
Qin Ying originally wanted to take his little wife to another place to enjoy the fireworks, but how did he know that everyone was the same as he thought?
Jiang Chuge didn't want to go, he was pulled by Qin Ying to stand still, and the crowd behind him pushed the two of them forward, and when they were about to walk into the river embankment, the two of them felt that something was wrong.
"Rui'er, you hold my hand tight!" Qin Ying tugged on Jiang Chuge's hand and pulled it very hard.
Jiang Chuge followed the crowd, wanting to slowly approach Qin Ying, who knew that the more he wanted to get closer, the farther away he would get, and the hands of the two of them were holding tightly, and he didn't know when they would separate.
"Let's go home on our own and stay at home!"
Qin Ying hurriedly roared, Jiang Chuge heard the voice, and regardless of the crowd's pushing and crowding, he agreed quickly.
She agreed quickly, and the crowd pushed and shoved very hard, and at some point, they had already reached the place where the river embankment was, and many people began to sleep.
The sound of puff and puff was like a dumpling, and some people only reacted to what was happening when they fell into the water, screaming sharply.
Jiang Chuge was startled, he had already arrived at the river, and he didn't even have a way back, and the crowd behind him didn't seem to see the people in the water.
"Is this all stunned?"
Jiang Chuge remembered the tricks of the fox fairy in the book to confuse the world, but somehow, the scene in front of him turned out to be extraordinarily similar!
Jiang Chuge shuddered, grabbed the crowd, and didn't care that these people rushed into the water desperately, and let himself get out first.
Fortunately, when she rushed out, she also made many puppets sober up, at least their brains were clear, and they knew that when they fell in, they yelled.
Jiang Chuge chose a high place and threw away the broken lantern in his hand.
Usually when this kind of strange situation happens, you have to look at the less noticeable places in the alleys, after all, those shady bed bugs do not dare to act in the open.
Jiang Chuge searched for a long time in the alley, and saw people holding ropes from a distance, tying women and children one by one.
The darkness that once haunted his mind was stimulated in an instant, and Jiang Chuge only felt that his whole body was trembling, and his heart was beating fiercely.
Ever since she met the Sun family's incident on the mountain in the courtyard, Jiang Chuge has become accustomed to the habit of wrapping the whip around her waist when she goes out, and now she is cheaper.
Pulling out the long whip, Jiang Chu's movements were very neat, and he whipped at the traffickers who bound the women.
The traffickers screamed in pain in their hands.
"Who! Who would dare to do it to Lao Tzu? The trafficker who was beaten looked like a thin monkey, and when he saw Jiang Chuge's eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen an amazing treasure.
"Yo, there's one left here? Not bad, it's a good color, and you can make a lot of money when you get it out. ”
The thin monkey pulled the scimitar out of his waist and summoned three accomplices.
"The rest of the bad ones are gone, those people are almost sober, it's enough for us to get so much, hurry up and let them come back and load the carriage, let's go!"
After the thin monkey gave the order, he freed up three people and prepared to besiege Jiang Chuge together.
Jiang Chuge would not give the thin monkey a chance to finish speaking, forcing the thin monkey to retreat, and he didn't even finish his orders.
The whip is full of tigers, Jiang Chuge is ruthless and accurate, the whip is light, and it is a weapon that has been used since childhood, yes, even if he was besieged, Jiang Chuge still did not fall into the inferior.
