Chapter Ninety-Six: A Chance Encounter in the Lamp Market
It's just that there are so many lanterns in this small village, how can they be compared with the lanterns in the city? So Ruan Yunsi and Yun Niang said early in the morning that they would go to the city to see the lanterns that night. (倩倩Chinese.)
Therefore, on this day, everyone packed up and dressed up, and after lunch, they took a carriage and asked Zhong Nan to rush to Green Water City. When I arrived in the city, to everyone's surprise, it was completely different from the lively scene I had thought before, there were not many lights on the street, and there were no crowds. Unexpectedly, I grabbed a person on the street and inquired, only to know that because the Green Water City is only twenty or thirty miles away from the capital, many people here go to the capital to see the lanterns, so there are no lanterns to see in this Green Water City every year.
Ruan Yunsi was dumbfounded, thinking to herself that she still had something like this? Because it's close to the capital, they all go to the capital? Chapter Ninety-Six: What is the whole capital like tonight? According to her thoughts, she was going home. But Yun Niang Biqiu Zhongnan Zhongxiu was eager, Zhong Nan said: "Sister, the sun hasn't set yet, let's hurry up, we will definitely be able to rush to the capital before dark, I heard that it is an extraordinary prosperous place, it is rare to have such an opportunity, my sister will take us to see and see?" β
Ruan Yunsi said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to take you there, you also use your brains to think about it, the people of Green Water City have all gone to the capital, plus the original residents of the capital, and some people from other places have come here, so ...... What does it have to be like there? I'm really going to go, what kind of lights are you going to see? It's better to look at people. β
Zhong Nan smiled: "How can there be such an exaggeration? Sister, we're not short. Even if it is crowded, it is not afraid. After saying that, Zhong Xiuyun also echoed one after another, Ruan Yunsi really made them helpless, so she had to say: "Okay, when the time comes, you will be in a panic, don't blame me." β
Zhong Nan was overjoyed, and drove the carriage to the capital, and the official road between the green water city and the capital was very flat. At this time, there were few people walking, and the two horses spread their hooves and ran, only to throw up Ruan Yunsi and the others. It's also fortunate that there are thick mattresses and cushions everywhere in the car Chapter 96: The Lamp Market, otherwise the suffering of several people would be even greater.
But in order to enter the city early, Yun Niang Biqiu and the others endured it, Ruan Yunsi saw that their faces were pale, and their performance was not as good as herself, but because they were eager to look at the lights, they refused to make a sound. So she sighed and thought to herself. These are all people who have never seen the excitement, but you have experienced those colorful lives in modern times. When I was Ruan Mingxiang that day, I also came out to see the lanterns, and I was much luckier than them, so I endured it now.
Kankan was just before the gates were closed. Zhong Nan's carriage galloped into the city. There was no curfew in the capital this night, but the city gate was still closed, but it was only an hour longer than usual.
At this time, it was already dark, Ruan Yunsi waited for the carriage and looked forward at the city gate. I saw the lights flickering in the distance, really like the Milky Way in the sky.
In fact, in ancient times, due to the limitations of medical conditions, the population was still far worse than that of modern times. In the case of this Great Wu Kingdom, it is now a peaceful and prosperous time, but the total population of all parts of the country is only a little more than 50,000, which is more than 500 million when converted into modern figures, which is already very, very remarkable. And its territory, in fact, is very vast. So now, although many people have poured into the capital, it has not caused the grand occasion of the New Year festival in those tourist attractions in modern times, at least Ruan Yunsi and others have not been very crowded along the way.
At first, everyone could still talk and watch the lights at the same time, but as the moon rose and the sky rose, Ruan Yunsi slowly became a little anxious, all the inns in the city were full, and they had asked more than a dozen so far, but there was not even a firewood room. Do a few people have to sleep on the streets because they look at the lights?
This is also fortunate that after entering the city, there is a big carriage and horse shop close to the city gate, because ordinary people are not allowed to take the carriage to the street that night, so the carriage and horse shop will take in the carriage part-time at this time of the year, help you take care of the carriage and horses, and the fee is not cheap, and you will be asked for 300 yuan a night.
It's just three hundred words, and the carriage finally has a place to stay, but what can the five big living people do now? So in the end, Ruan Yunsi didn't have the heart to guess the lantern riddles and watch the lanterns, and only thought about where the five of them were going to spend the night. Although they knew that Liujin Buzhuang also had a semicolon in the capital, none of them had ever been there, and they didn't know where the place was. What's more, even if you find the door, there is no shopkeeper and Su Liuyun and others, but I am afraid that the people there will not know themselves and others.
Ruan Yunsi was so worried, the night was cold, and there were many fewer pedestrians on the street, so she gradually felt the coolness. Suddenly, Yun Niang smiled bitterly: "This is good, I said that I was going to see the lights, but now I am going to sleep on the streets, fortunately there is such a big thing, otherwise I will definitely catch the wind cold when I go home." β
Ruan Yunsi said angrily: "I'll just say that it's inconvenient to come here, you don't listen to ......" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a broken shout: "Let one let go, let one go, the horse is frightened......" Then the people on the street shouted and avoided.
Ruan Yunsi and Yun Niang were in a panic, and they were involuntarily squeezed out of the crowd, Yun Niang was going to hold Ruan Yunsi, but where was the time, in the chaos, she could only helplessly watch her being wrapped in the crowd and dodging to the other side, so she had to shout: "Sister, don't be afraid, you just stand there, and when the carriage passes, we will look for you again." β
Ruan Yunsi heard Yun Niang's shout, and looked at it, only to see that she and Zhong Xiu Biqiu were still together, so she put her mind at ease. The crowd is just dodging the side of the road, just wait for the frightened carriage to pass, as long as they don't move in place, Yun Niang and the others will definitely find it.
Thinking like this, my heart settled down for a while, and I only heard the sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by the anxious shouting of the coachman. There were also a few pedestrians who couldn't dodge and were grazed by the carriage and were slightly injured, and they couldn't help but curse. Fortunately, by this time the street had given way to a road, and the carriage was rushing forward like crazy.
Suddenly, a burly man swooped out of the crowd, and sat down on the startled horse, and he leaned on the horse's back, and he did not know what he had done, but the horse's speed slowed down, and at last it was completely calm.
This scene was originally thrilling and exciting, but Ruan Yunsi was a little disappointed. Sure enough, a child in the middle of the road was about to be hit by a carriage, and at this time, someone flew out, picked up the child with one hand, strangled the horse's reins with the other, and subdued the crazy horse with the strength of a thousand catties.
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard an extremely familiar voice behind him: "Miss Ruan, is it really you?" She turned around in surprise, and Su Mingxi's handsome and elegant face came into view, with a light smile on her lips, she was really a gentleman who was as gentle as jade.
"Su ...... Su Gongzi, you ...... Why are you here? β
Ruan Yunsi couldn't hide her surprise, thinking to herself, wouldn't it? I just said that there is no dog blood in life, and this dog blood is coming. The willows on the moon, the lights are like day, this ...... This happened by coincidence, God, what do you think? This kind of plot is too easy to misunderstand?
Su Mingxi was amused by her "embarrassed" expression. Shaking his head and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, even that one is also enjoying the lanterns and watching the scenery on the Fengyun Tower and having fun with the people, why can't I be here?" After speaking, seeing that Ruan Yunsi had returned to his normal expression, he said with a straight face: "I originally watched the lights with that one, but now I send him back...... After home, I came to the street to walk around, thinking about whether I could meet Jiaci and the child, but I didn't expect to hear that there was a frightened horse galloping in the city, so I rushed with Wang Biao all the way, and heard Yun Niang's voice, and looked around, and saw the girl. β
Ruan Yunsi was surprised: "So, the hero who stopped the frightened horse just now is the Wang Guard?" Seeing Su Mingxi nodding, she said, "No wonder I feel that burly figure is a little familiar, it turns out that it is really an acquaintance." β
At this time, the crowd had gradually dispersed, Yun Niang and the others all gathered around, and when they saw Su Mingxi, they couldn't help but be very surprised. They all saluted and said hello, Su Mingxi also hurriedly returned the salute, and when he saw Wang Biao and the frightened carriage coming over, he frowned and said: "Look at this carriage, it looks like the Ronglu Marquis's family, but I don't know why the horse is so good that it is frightened and crazy?" Girl, wait a minute, wait for me to take a look. β
Ruan Yunsi said with a smile: "No need, just go and deal with things, we came to see the lights, but now we naturally continue to ...... with the crowd" Before finishing speaking, she saw Su Mingxi's terrifying eyes staring straight at her, and said word by word: "Does the girl really avoid me like a snake and scorpion?" β
"No...... It's not ......"
In fact, Su Mingxi's gaze was nothing special, but it was just serious. But in Ruan Yunsi's eyes, she felt a little intimidating, and when she heard him ask like that, her first reaction was naturally to quickly clarify and explain, who knew that before she finished speaking, she saw Su Mingxi smile slightly, and said softly: "Since you don't want to avoid me like a snake and scorpion, please ask the girl to stay here for a while." Then he turned and walked towards the carriage.
"This ...... Who is this? β
Ruan Yunsi gritted her teeth in anger, thinking that it shouldn't be, it really shouldn't, she should have just said, "Yes, just avoid you like a snake and scorpion", whether he hurts his self-esteem or not. Hmph, they're all guys who shine when they give a little sunshine, why should I wait for you here?
Gritting his teeth angrily in his heart, according to Ruan Yunsi's thoughts, he should turn around and leave. At this moment, he saw Su Mingxi, who had already walked to the carriage, looking back, and seeing that she was really waiting here, a gentle smile appeared on his face again, and he nodded slightly to Ruan Yunsi.
"Phew! I thought I was Yang Guifei, and I looked back and smiled? β
Ruan Yunsi said hatefully to express her contempt for Su Mingxi's "sassy" action. As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhong Nan beside him mutter: "Do you look back and smile?" Su Gongzi is a man, this kind of poetry is not applicable to him? β
Ruan Yunsi raised her eyebrows and said viciously: "Oh? This doesn't apply? Which one is applicable? β
Zhong Nan shook his head and said, "I don't dare to say it, I said that my sister would skin me." (To be continued) RQ!!
