Text Chapter 031 Lantern Dispute

When night fell, Ye Wanruo changed men's clothes with the two maids, and then left through the back door of the princess's mansion.

When I arrived at Kyoto's busiest market with two maids, it was completely different from the previous daytime, and the market was brightly lit.

In front of the vendors of each household, lanterns of different shapes are hung outside, which not only illuminate the passers-by, but also add a different kind of brilliance to their own shops.

Looking from this side, there is an endless sea of people in front of you, crowded with people, and people are boiling.

There is no neighing of horses in the daytime, but the excited voices of girls can be heard everywhere.

Just like Ye Wanruo's overflowing mood at this time, thinking of Cen Yuan's gloomy face just after dinner, Ye Wanruo's heart was happy for no reason.

After Cen Yuan broke the teacup, Ye Yushan did not show the slightest displeasure, but just glanced at Cen Yuan lightly, and said in a deep voice:

"Cen Yuan, you are old, and it is time to enjoy Qingfu!"

Cen Yuan leaned over in panic and picked up the fragments of the broken teacup on the ground, thinking about the meaning of Ye Yushan's words, and he didn't even feel that his fingers were cut.

Ye Wanruo had been carefully observing Cen Yuan's expression and demeanor, and it seemed that all her previous worries were superfluous.

Think about it, no matter how deep the relationship between Ye Yushan and Cen Yuan is, Ye Wanruo is Ye Yushan's biological daughter after all, how could Ye Yushan not understand the truth that blood is thicker than water?

Looking at this dazzling starry sky, Ye Wanruo thought that Cen Yuan might not have the leisure and elegance to enjoy this beautiful scenery at this time. For the consequences of disobeying Ye Wanruo's decision today, Cen Yuan must now regret his death!

Retracting his mind, he could vaguely hear the noise of gongs and drums in front of him, as well as the continuous shouts of people, and it seemed that the highlight of the Lantern Festival was still ahead.

Just when Ye Wanruo was enjoying the crowded scene in front of her, the two little girls around her couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, if it weren't for Ye Wanruo by her side, they would have been impatient to get into the crowd.

"Let's go, let's go shopping, what do you like tonight, just ask, this son will give it to you!"

As if she understood the excited look hidden in the eyes of the two maids, Ye Wanruo took the lead in taking the two maids to blend into the bustling sea of people.

On both sides of the official road, the cries of merchants and hawkers are in the ears.

Looking from afar, there are either candy pinchers, or there are people who sell lanterns, as well as jade pendant hand ornaments, rouge gouache, and carved peace ornaments.

A dazzling array of small commodities with a wide variety of patterns is dazzling.

As far as the eye can see, the streets are long, and there is no boundary in sight.

Ye Wanruo and the three of them also couldn't move an inch, so they had to follow the crowd and slowly move their steps.

Although there are all kinds of hand ornaments and items in the princess's mansion, they are still not available in the market. But Lingxiang and Yingxiang are still girls in the end, and they like the small objects on the street very much. You have to play twice when you see anything, and you can't put it down when you meet someone you like.

Ye Wanruo is also very generous, as long as she sees that the two girls like it, she will buy them and give them away.

For money, Ye Wanruo has never been too careful, and many times, she has the artistic conception of treating it as dung.

When they walked to the lantern seller, the two girls looked at this and touched that.

"Pick two of your favorites!"

came to this world, and it has always been these two girls who have accompanied me.

In Ye Wanruo's heart, she has long regarded them as her own family, and seeing them happy at this time, Ye Wanruo can't hide the joy in her heart.

"Thank you, Childe!"

Hearing Ye Wanruo's generosity, Lingxiang and Yingxiang smiled even brighter.

"Childe, I want this!"

After choosing for a long time, Yingxiang finally chose a lantern that looked like a rabbit.

Hearing Yingxiang's voice, Ye Wanruo looked over and saw that the little rabbit was alive and cute, no wonder Yingxiang liked it.

At this moment, a girl's crisp voice came from the side, which attracted Ye Wanruo's attention.

"Sizhu, that little rabbit lantern is so beautiful!"

Following the prestige, a woman like a hibiscus out of the water, with ice muscles and jade bones, clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, appeared in front of Ye Wanruo.

I saw her cherry mouth, delicate, wearing a lotus-colored silkworm ice silk soft silver light lily skirt, and a gold-rimmed ruby hairpin inserted in the flying bun, which was even more swaying.

The noble temperament exuded from the whole body cannot be ignored, but the eyes revealed an arrogant and empty look, which made Ye Wanruo feel a trace of disgust for no reason.

The maid named Sizhu, after hearing her young lady's words, hurriedly stepped forward and snatched the little rabbit lantern from Yingxiang's hand. Then he respectfully handed it to his young lady, with a smug look in his eyes, so not arrogant.

After receiving the cute little rabbit lantern, the woman's eyes couldn't hide her love, and the slightly pursed pink lips evoked an intoxicating smile.

Even the passers-by were confused by the woman's appearance, or stopped to admire, or kept looking back, all of them were nostalgic for the woman's beauty.

"I want this lantern!"

After admiring and playing for a long time, the woman gently spit out a few words, but she never looked at Yingxiang from beginning to end, or had a trace of apology.

Hearing the words of his own young lady, Sizhu immediately stepped forward and said to the shopkeeper who sold the lanterns arrogantly:

"Hey, old man! Didn't you hear our young lady talking? Our lady wants this lantern, let's say, how much silver? ”

"This...."

The shopkeeper knew that it was the lantern that Yingxiang chose first, although it was taken away at this time, but doing business also pays attention to first-come, first-served, right?

Hearing the other party ask the price, the shopkeeper did not show greedy eyes, but looked embarrassed. looked at Yingxiang, and then at the arrogant maid, and was speechless for a while.

"What is this? What does it mean to give you no money? Angered our young lady, believe it or not I smashed your stall? ”

There is really a master, and there is a kind of maid.

I saw that the girl named Sizhu was a dog and a human power, but the shopkeeper who sold the lanterns actually made Ye Wanruo feel a little good.

"This young lady is really the lantern chosen by the little boy first, this is a small business, all the lanterns together are not worth a few silver, but it is known for its integrity! If this young lady really likes it, discuss it with that little boy, otherwise the old man will not accept this money! ”

The shopkeeper looked like a principled person, not bothered by the threat of Sizhu at all, and the firmness between his eyebrows could not be ignored.

"You...."

I could hear that the shopkeeper didn't eat it, and Sizhu's eyes showed a ruthless look.

But when he caught a glimpse of the lively crowd around him, Sizhu reluctantly restrained his arrogance, walked in front of Yingxiang, and stuffed a piece of silver into Yingxiang's hand that could not be refused.

Squinted at Yingxiang, his eyes were full of mockery, and he said proudly:

"Our young lady wants this lantern, this ingot of silver is enough for you to buy all the lanterns here, keep it!"

After speaking, Sizhu turned around and paced Lianbu to walk back to his young lady.

Yingxiang looked at the silver in her hand, and then at Ye Wanruo, obviously fighting for Ye Wanruo's meaning.

Ye Wanruo smiled and nodded towards Yingxiang, hoping that she could decide according to her own heart.

"Wait!"

As if inspired by Ye Wanruo's eyes, Yingxiang deliberately lowered her voice and called out to the figure of Sizhu in front of her.

Sizhu's body stiffened obviously, and then he turned to look at Yingxiang for some reason, thinking to himself, is there anyone in this world who is not moved when facing silver?

I saw Yingxiang walking over with steady steps, stuffing the silver ingot in her hand back into Sizhu's hand, and said loudly:

"I don't sell this lantern, your young lady likes it, I can borrow her to see it, but I don't sell it!"

"What do you say? Again, I didn't hear clearly! ”

When Sizhu heard Yingxiang's words, his eyes flashed with disbelief, and he leaned his ear closer to Yingxiang's direction to confirm again.

"I said, I don't sell this lantern!"

After receiving Yingxiang's confirmed answer, Sizhu straightened her body, facing Yingxiang, her hands clasped around her chest, and a contemptuous smile hung on the corner of her mouth:

"Yo! A big man, such a precious lantern, do you want to conjure a lady for you? Stop dreaming, wake up! ”

The crowd around them also burst into laughter after hearing Sizhu's words.

Yingxiang was already weak, but at this time, looking at the ridicule of the people around her, her face turned red, and her eyes turned red.

"Is there any provision in the law of the Southern Qin Kingdom that men cannot buy lanterns? Please forgive me for being lonely and unheard, and I would like to hear about it! ”

Seeing that Yingxiang couldn't answer her words, Sizhu was still secretly glad in her heart.

But he didn't expect Cheng Jinlai, who was a nosy man, to hear this sudden sound that made Sizhu immediately shoot resentful eyes. While speaking, Ye Wanruo walked towards a few people idly, and Yingxiang and Lingxiang also consciously stood behind Ye Wanruo, as if they had found a support.

"Who are you?"

Sizhu glanced at Ye Wanruo, and saw that he looked dignified and handsome, but the words he said were speechless.

"I'm just a nobody, not enough to worry about. It's just that the girl's words are really incomprehensible! Can't men have a preference? The girl's reason is inevitably too far-fetched, and as the shopkeeper said: the country has national laws, the family has family rules, and buying things should also be said to come first and then go, right?

The girl is a strong word, so why be aggressive here? Isn't the girl afraid of losing your young lady's face? ”

Ye Wanruo didn't seem to be angry, but her words were sharp, which made everyone around nodded in agreement.

"Childe speaks so sharply, don't you know who our young lady is?"

Sizhu also seemed to feel her embarrassment, and as soon as her mind was hot, she wanted to reveal her identity as a young lady, and suppressed the arrogance of the unknown man opposite.

But Ye Wanruo, on the contrary, was more open, hooked up a smile on the side of her lips, and said condensedly:

"I really don't know the identity of your young lady, but even if the princess of the dynasty is here, she won't be so lawless and oppress the people, right?"

"You...."

"Sizhu, shut up!"

To say that Ye Wanruo's kung fu with a top hat is really invincible, then Sizhu wanted to say something more, but was stopped by the woman.

The woman's cold face flashed with anger, but it flashed, and she said apologetically to Ye Wanruo:

"It's the little woman who disciplines her subordinates to be immoral, and please don't laugh at the son!"

The young lady laughed, it is said that a man should have a broad mind that is tolerant of all rivers and rivers, but today's matter cannot be compromised. Lingxiang...."

Hearing Ye Wanruo's order, Ling Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully placed two ingots of silver from her sleeve pocket in the hands of the shopkeeper.

Ye Wanruo turned her direction at this time, bowed to the shopkeeper thoughtfully, and said gently:

"May I ask the shopkeeper, is this silver enough to buy these lanterns for you?"

The shopkeeper was already at a loss when Ye Wanruo saluted, and after hearing Ye Wanruo's words, he nodded again and again:

"Enough, enough!"

"The troublesome shopkeeper gave this lantern to this young lady, as a punishment for being rude, thank you!"

At this time, the crowd did not know who suddenly exclaimed:

"It's Jingyuan, he's Jingyuan!"

Ye Wanruo's warm smile was still hanging on the corner of her mouth, she didn't admit it or deny it, she gave a slight salute to everyone, then glanced at Lingxiang and Yingxiang, and quickly turned around and left....
