Chapter 231: The Bustling Market
Lu Yao had been sitting in front of the dresser for a long time and dressed up, decorating his hair with the emerald hairpins of pale pink velvet flowers that Lu Qian made when he left, and remembered that Gu Congyuan had said that she looked best in goose yellow, so he changed the slightly dull purple on her body.
Now in the north, everything needs to be done by herself, Lu Yao slowly applied grease and powder, and finally reached the last step, dotted with lipstick, she took a little from the peach blossom pattern entwined small box, and carefully applied it to her lips, instantly ruddy and attractive.
At a glance, it is not a country or a city, but it is also fresh and lovely.
At this moment, she heard a knock on the door with some lack of confidence, and after a pause, the person outside the door seemed to regret it again, and planned to turn around and leave.
"Miss Yin?" Lu Yao looked back and saw a blurry figure through the not light window paper.
As soon as she asked in such a loud voice, the person outside the door seemed to be unable to leave if he wanted to, so Lu Yao saw Yin Huilan, who was anxious.
I don't know why, I always feel that this Miss Yin is preoccupied, as if she is completely different from the hearty and generous woman I saw at the beginning.
Yin Huilan also barely dressed up, and when she saw Lu Yao, she pursed her lips and smiled at her, and asked, "When does the princess plan to leave?" ”
The strange feeling of oppression quickly disappeared, and Lu Yao responded, hurriedly putting the lipstick box back on the dresser.
"Naturally, let's go now!" She enthusiastically held the man's arm, saw the lantern that had been hung outside, and smiled, "I didn't expect that I was grinding, it was already so late, so let Miss Yin wait for me." ”
"It's okay, women are pleasing to themselves." Yin Huilan glanced at the person deeply, "The princess is elegant and moving today, I think the prince will like it very much when she sees it." ”
Although when he lived in the palace before, Lu Yao also used some small means, such as wearing a looming gauze robe, to lure the "Gu Xiahui" who was not in a mess.
However, since she left the palace, she has become more and more unscrupulous, and she doesn't know if she broke the jar or what, in short, she can no longer dress up for Gu Congyuan, and sometimes she is fearless when she goes out with her face facing the sky.
After Yin Huilan said this, she suddenly realized what she was so happy for, not so that she could see the slightly surprised expression on Gu Congyuan's face the moment she saw him?
Even after she clearly realized this, she still defended herself stiffly: "It's the first time I've gone out to play these days, so naturally I have to dress up and show it to whom...... Independent. ”
Yin Huilan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at people's awkward expressions.
At the same time, I couldn't help but think of the unruly young man in amazement.
After Gu Congyuan came out of the outpost, he had been waiting outside the gate of the Yin family, which was not far from the downtown area, and there was no need for a carriage, so he stood here with his hands on his back and waited.
After Lu Yao came out, he saw the man looking himself up and down a little, and sure enough, he heard a voice: "Not bad." ”
The expression on that person's face was faint, if he didn't know him, he would definitely feel that his heart was not fluctuating at the moment, but Lu Yao knew deeply that he was in a good mood today, and as soon as those two words popped out, it was already one of his few compliments.
So Lu Yao raised his chin proudly, and dragged Yin Huilan to walk forward: "My aesthetics, of course, are good." ”
In private, King Cong is the second husband and wife
People don't like to pay attention to so many rules and etiquette, Yin Huilan followed Lu Yao in a panic, and always felt that the two eyes behind her were like substance, and they directly turned into sharp knives and stabbed her viciously in the back.
“…… Speaking of which, I don't know how the lantern festival of Qingyuan is different from the capital, is there any special meaning? Lu Yao said softly.
"Actually, it's pretty much the same." Yin Huilan came back to her senses, "Xu is Qingyuan is not as good as the staggered water flow in the capital, so people have some obsession with putting lanterns on the water. ”
Lu Yao could already vaguely imagine that scene, and he couldn't help but be a little distracted.
I thought that the people in this place were bold, but I didn't expect that the people were still soft-hearted, and there was always some hope.
The man explained: "People hope that the coming year will be smooth, the grain will be abundant, and the country and the people will be safe, so they will write their wishes on paper and place their hopes on lanterns. ”
"I see."
However, Lu Yao was the only one who listened to it with relish, Gu Congyuan was not interested, crowded into the crowded and noisy crowd, and yawned boredly.
He had a strong aura around him, he was richly dressed, and the crowd of rubbing shoulders automatically avoided this nobleman, but it also made a rare space for Lu Yao and them.
Lu Yao paused: "But I've heard people say that the lantern festival is usually a month ago, and this year it was postponed for a whole month...... It must be because of those rebellious ministers and thieves in Rouran, right? ”
Now it is almost a conditioned reflex, as long as others mention something about Rouran, Yin Huilan's heart can't help but pinch together.
She froze for too long, and it wasn't until Lu Yao called her two or three times that she barely came back to her senses, almost hearing her own rumbling heartbeat.
"Miss Yin, what were you thinking?" Lu Yaohu raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and then showed a somewhat teasing smile, "Isn't it thinking about your sweetheart?" ”
"you." She pretended to be casual with difficulty, and laughed, "Where did I come from?" It's just that I thought of those creeping atrocities, and I felt uncomfortable for a while, looking at you like this, if you do things like pulling fiber, you may be so handy. ”
Lu Yao seemed to be reminded, holding his chin thoughtfully: "In this way, I'm really interested." ”
Gu Congyuan's unwavering face twitched, making people inexplicably interpret a bitter and bitter taste.
His wife is still busy with the affairs of the Fu business, and the last time he was born and died in Qingfeng Village, he is getting bolder and bolder, maybe he will develop some other business one day, he just hopes that Lu Yao can stop staying in the house......
The lantern festival gradually kicked off, and the night was illuminated by colorful lanterns.
Qingyuan Town, which has experienced one hardship after another, finally got a short period of peace.
As soon as he walked into the downtown area, the flow of people became larger, and it was crowded, Lu Yao looked at Gu Congyuan, who was full of lovelessness but endured discomfort, and couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart.
Everyone knows that His Royal Highness King Cong likes to be quiet the most, and there is no one in the family, if you say that the noisiest around you is at most his biological wife Lu Yao and his brother Chang Shan.
Originally, in the bustling crowd, it was inevitable to experience some things of scratching and stepping on his feet, Gu Congyuan was so outstanding and handsome, the girls saw it, and they immediately burst into joy, and they stepped forward to crowd it one after another, intended
Unintentionally, he stepped on the person, bumped it, and then talked to the person shyly and timidly.
"Yikes! I'm sorry, Childe, there are so many people that the little woman couldn't see it clearly for a while. ”
When the golden green boots were stepped on for the twentieth time, the blue veins on his forehead loomed: "...... Anyway. ”
If it weren't for the incident at the east window here, Lu Yao would probably still be happy with Yin Huilan to pick rouge jewelry there.
She looked back, and saw Gu Congyuan five or six steps behind her, with green shirts and pink skirts around her, and countless beauties coming and going, which was really eye-catching.
"Tsk." Lu Yao frowned dissatisfiedly.
She finally remembered the task given to the two of them by Shu Wen with her conscience
"Miss Yin, I want to buy a candy man." She said, "The old man who pinched the candy is just one street ahead." ”
Yin Huilan put down the object in her hand and said, "Okay, let's ......."
"No need!" Lu Yao hurriedly interrupted, dragged out Gu Congyuan, who was besieged, and said in a loud voice, "This place is mixed, and it is inevitable that it will be dangerous for the young lady to accompany you, aren't the people waiting by the river?" You can't go wrong there, and we'll meet by the river in a moment. ”
Yin Huilan was actually like a mirror, so she sighed silently and said, "Okay." ”
After several people parted ways, Lu Yao let go of Gu Congyuan's hand and walked forward by himself.
It seems that she is jealous of Fang Cai's affairs, but there is no legitimate reason to attack, after all, the girl is just wandering around a few times in the past, and Gu Congyuan is also carrying his hands behind his back, polite.
…… But why is she so uncomfortable in her heart?
Gu Congyuan tilted his head slightly, seeing her awkward expression, he couldn't help but be amused, and the third time he was thrown away, he finally got his wish and took the beautiful jade hand.
Walking to the candy man stall, Lu Yao said: "Uncle, just pinch three out according to his appearance!" ”
When the old man saw Gu Congyuan, a handsome young man who looked like a celestial man, dressed luxuriously and behaved well, he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly smiled and waved his hand: "Girl, you are embarrassed by the old man, the son is dignified, where can I figure it out." ”
It's true, Gu Congyuan was born really well, if he let this sugar man pinch out a Lu Yao, he can pinch it, but this son in brocade clothes and jade robes seems to be carved in gold.
"Well said!"
She smiled and pointed to the lifelike Zhu Bajie on the grass pillar: "I think he looks quite similar to this, you just pinch it according to this, it's right!" ”
Gu Congyuan blackened his face and opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
After a while, he suddenly remembered something, and leaned closer and said, "Yin Huilan's sweetheart is Tuhetu, right?" ”
Lu Yao almost fell crookedly under his feet, and looked at him with a look like a sheep epilepsy: "This, it's impossible, right?" ”
"Yin Huilan is not a sober person, isn't His Royal Highness the dignified King Cong?" She stared intently at the little sugar man in her hand, and said casually, "She's just delivering a meal to Tuhetu, how can she ...... meet in a hurry?"
Before she could finish babbling, Gu Congyuan laughed in a good mood and interrupted her words.
"So what?" He gently hooked the corners of his mouth, "Back then, this king only saw you once, and then married you back, didn't he?" ”
