Chapter Ninety-Six: The Rabbit Lantern
There were a lot of people at the lantern fair, people came and went, and all kinds of men and women had a lantern in their hands, but Jiao Niang found that there was really no one holding the jade rabbit lantern except her, could it be that they were all bought by that strange person?
This question was not until she saw Ying Che and his lanterns, and she understood it in an instant, and the stranger who dared to buy all the jade rabbit lanterns was him.
"Rui-" Qiao Niang was about to scream, Ying Che stretched out her hand to signal her not to make a noise, and Qiao Niang immediately covered her mouth.
Ying Che said: "Call me Qin Gongzi outside." ”
Qiao Niang was innocent, "Huh, Qin Gongzi, why do you have rabbit lanterns?" I walked all the way, except for Jiao Niang, I didn't see anyone else carrying it. ”
Ying Che Feng smiled lightly, asked rhetorically, "Really?" and then looked at Jiao Niang meaningfully.
Jiao Niang looked at him, he smiled more playfully, Jiao Niang glanced at him directly, dragged Qiao Niang and walked forward, ignoring him.
Ying Che was in a trance for a moment, and he dared to rip him, which was really getting bolder and bolder. But I couldn't help laughing.
This night, there were a lot of people who came up to talk to Qiao Niang, but no one came up to talk to Jiao Niang, not because people were unwilling, but because she was a rabbit in her hand, and no one had ever matched with her.
What's more, she was followed by a man with a jade rabbit lantern, who didn't think it was a couple. And that man's aura is very powerful, the slightest person wants to get close to the beautiful woman with the jade rabbit lantern, his cold eyes will shoot over, making people daunted.
The last program of the lantern festival is to put lanterns on the marriage river. There is also a saying about this marriage river, legend has it that the Cowherd and Weaver Girl met here, as long as the lanterns that have not been matched successfully are put into the river together, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl can bless these people to meet each other soon.
Although these are legends, what if they come true?
And I saw that on the river, the candles were bright, and the lanterns were floating on it like small boats, and their eyes were full of starlight.
But Jiao Niang was reluctant to put her little rabbit into the river, and stood on the bank and hesitated, it took her several days to do it, and it was a pity to throw it away like this.
was hesitating, Qiao Niang squeezed a place over there and called her to go over and put the lamp, and her hand was suddenly empty, and when she turned her head, she saw Ying Che standing next to her, and then stuffed his lantern into her hand without saying anything.
"The lanterns have been paired and exchanged, so there is no need to pray for blessings. ”
Jiao Niang frowned, she didn't want to exchange with him, she reached out to grab it, and wanted to exchange it back, but she was held down by Ying Che, and the two were deadlocked for a moment, and finally Jiao Niang was defeated, so she had to go by him.
Ying Che is like this, he never asks others if they want to do anything, just like snatching her lanterns last night, and today he hung her yard with jade rabbit lanterns.
Jiao Niang was called by the old lady, and she didn't speak for a long time, which made Jiao Niang feel uneasy.
After a long time, the old lady finally spoke, "Let me ask you, what is the matter between you and King Rui?"
Jiao Niang was confused for a while, she didn't know where to answer, she snorted her lips, but she still didn't say a word.
Last night's incident, the mother-in-law and family who followed have already seen it, and those rumors can be known to the whole house as soon as they blow a little, and naturally they will also blow into the ears of the old lady.
In fact, there have been some rumors in these days, and King Rui is too eye-catching.
The old lady held a cup with blue flowers on a white background, and gently squeezed it with a tea lid, making the sound of porcelain scraping each other. Jiao Niang thought she was going to open her mouth to reprimand, but she heard her say: "You don't have to be shy, this is a good thing." ”
Now that Prince Rui is in the limelight, there is a faint image of suppressing the prince, if Jiao Niang also enters the Rui Palace, maybe the Hua family will be able to produce two Niangniang in the future, what a glory it is.
Besides, although King Rui and the Hua family are married, they are usually not close, she saw that King Rui was a little interested in Jiao Niang, and thought, maybe Jiao Niang can tighten the relationship between King Rui and the Hua family.
Jiao Niang raised her head suddenly, and said eagerly: "I have nothing to do with King Rui, grandmother, don't misunderstand." ”
The old lady smiled ambiguously, "Silly boy, what did grandmother misunderstand, could it be that those peonies, butterflies, and lanterns in your house are fake? Grandmother is from here, and you still want to deceive grandmother?" She patted the position next to her and asked Jiao Niang to come and sit, "Come, tell grandmother, when did you and King Rui?"
Jiao Niang walked over and sat down, and explained: "Grandmother, it's really not, Lord Rui sent so many things, in fact, in fact, it ......" What did she say, and suddenly she had an idea, "It's because my father asked him to take care of me, that's all." ”
The old lady smiled even more, and took Jiao Niang's hand and stroked it twice, "The exchange of lanterns at the lantern festival is also out of care? I heard that at the lantern festival yesterday, someone bought all the lanterns of the same phase as you." ”
As soon as Jiao Niang condensed, she knew that bad things spread thousands of miles.
The old lady pursed her lips and smiled, "What kind of person is King Rui, he doesn't even care much about your father-in-law, but he takes care of you? Jiao Niang, you see how attentive King Rui is to you, you must grasp it well. ”
Jiao Niang is really hard to argue, "I-I-"
Jiao Niang has not yet "me" out of a reason, I heard the sound of hurried and messy footsteps outside, just after a rain, the water on the ground has not had time to clean up, shoes on the water "chirp chirp".
Hearing the movement, her grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other, and saw that the bamboo curtain was overturned, and Mama Mao hurriedly walked in, except for the last time the old lady was poisoned, Jiao Niang had never seen her so flustered, and her intuition told her that something was wrong.
Mama Mao's face was pale, and she gasped slightly, "Old lady, something happened." "Faintly crying," someone from Xiangwang's Mansion said that the eldest girl in our family was pushed down the steps, and now the child doesn't know if she can save it. ”
When the old lady heard this, she stood up suddenly, stunned for a moment, "What?" Before the words fell, she felt that the sky was spinning, and it was dark in front of her, and she didn't know anything.
"Grandmother!"
"Old lady!"
