Chapter 168: The road is narrow
Yongshu asked casually, but Yonglan actually nodded, her cheeks crimson. Looking at this situation, she should have guessed correctly,
"Do you really have someone you like? Who is it? Do I recognize it? ”
Yonglan didn't want to hide it from her sister, but she always had some scruples about it, and she couldn't say it, "I'm ...... to him It's a bit nice, but I know very well that we're not going to be together. ”
Why? His family is poor? Or is he Han? ”
Yonglan shook her head, "He's also Manchurian. ”
The royal family is particularly strict about the marriage of the Manchu and Han people, "Since you are Manchu, then you are possible, of course, if you are defeated." ”
Yonglan also wanted to lose the draft, "Sister, is there any way to avoid the draft?" ”
Yongshu secretly thought to himself, if he could really avoid it, the original owner would find a way to avoid it at the beginning, so as not to come to this point, "Unless you have a serious disability, you can be exempted from running, but you are normal, there is no reason not to participate." ”
"Can you pretend to be sick?"
"It's not that simple, what the doctor said doesn't count, all flags will send people to verify, in case the fraud is found, it will affect many people, and no one can afford this responsibility."
If she had to go to the draft, what would her fate be? The more Yonglan thought about it, the more frightened she became, and Yongshu couldn't help but wonder who her sweetheart was.
When Yongshu asked again, Yonglan's ears were red, and he still refused to say it explicitly, "I have no fate with him, so let's not talk about it!" The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment, it is better to let go of this undeserved obsession as soon as possible. ”
My sister is only fifteen years old this year, which is the age of innocence, why does her eyes reveal sadness that does not match her age? Who is the person she likes? Yongshu wanted to explore, but her sister refused to say it directly, as an older sister, she really shouldn't force it.
"Oh well! It's good that you have a sense of proportion, I just hope that God will favor you and let you meet someone who loves you and protects you. ”
The two sisters chatted for a while, and they both began to get sleepy, so they dreamed of Zhou Gong.
On the evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the family had an early meal at home, and then went out of the house in a carriage.
Walk to the vicinity of the downtown area, everyone got off the carriage one after another, began to walk forward, tonight the crowd is a sea of lights, lively and extraordinary, the two sisters who have not gone out for a long time see this battle, their faces can hardly hide their joy,
"Sister, look, there are so many lanterns!"
Yongshu looked at the rows of lanterns of all kinds and kinds, which was dizzying, "They are really ingenious, they can make so many beautiful and novel lanterns!" ”
Yongshu was happy, and Hongtian was naturally pleased, "Just pick what you like." ”
It's hard to come out, Yongshu won't be polite, she picked a rabbit lamp, Yonglan was hesitating, "Sister, is the cat lamp good-looking, or the monkey lamp is good-looking?" ”
"If you can't make up your mind, just buy them all! Your brother-in-law is not short of money. ”
Yongshu's brother-in-law was in a good mood when he heard this, and immediately echoed: "As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if you buy the whole shop." ”
"The lantern is just a fresh picture, and it's useless to buy too much." Yonglan only planned to choose one, and asked her sister to help her choose, when a clear male voice suddenly sounded behind her,
"Choose a monkey! Monkey King, how majestic! ”
Yongshu looked back when he heard the voice, and when he saw the figure under the lights, he was quite surprised, "Hongyu? ”
Hong Yuxin greeted with a smile, "Fifth brother, fifth sister-in-law, Yonglan, you also come to see the lanterns!" ”
Hongyang smiled and said, "Yes! What a coincidence! ”
Hongyu approached Yonglan's side and helped her choose the lanterns, Yongshu couldn't help but be suspicious when she saw this, and asked Hongtian in a low voice, "What's going on?" How did Hongyu come here? You asked him to come? ”
Hongtian denied it very simply, "It's none of my business, today is the Shangyuan Festival, he also came to see the lanterns, and he met by chance!" ”
"Really?" Thinking back on the whole thing, Yongshu always felt that it was not so simple, "You took Yonglan over to play together, and when you came out, you met Hongyu by chance, is it so coincidental?" ”
"There are so many people enjoying the lanterns tonight, I can't stop Hongyu from coming out, right?"
Although Hongtian was trying to explain, his eyes flickered obviously, and Yongshu became more and more sure of his guess,
"I think you're in cahoots with Hongyu, right? You know I won't agree to let them meet, that's why you didn't tell me in advance. You know my attitude very well, I don't want Hongyu and Yonglan to have too much contact, you should refuse directly, how can you help him secretly? ”
Hongday, who was poked, became more and more weak, touched the bridge of his nose uncomfortably, and coughed dryly:
"At first, I refused, but he begged again and again, and I was too embarrassed to refuse. Hongyu is not a bad person, he just wants to see Yonglan, let's follow the whole process, they don't have a chance to get along alone, you can rest assured. ”
Sure enough, it's a bad idea! Yongshu sneered angrily, "It's not a matter of good people and bad people, I don't want to give him hope and disappoint him, and I'm even more afraid that Yonglan will ......be tempted by him."
Hongyang lowered his voice, and persuaded with good words,
"I understand your concerns, but he is my cousin, and I have already told him the truth, but he is bent on seeing Yonglan, and I have soft ears, so I can't find a reason to refuse, so I have to agree. Now that people are here, let's play together! On festive days, don't get angry, get angry and hurt your body. ”
At this point, Yongshu had no choice but to let Hongyu go with them.
Thanks to the help of the fifth brother, Hong Yu met Yonglan as he wished, Yonglan didn't think much about it, just met by chance, Hong Yu spoke humorously, and has been taking the initiative to find a conversation, Yonglan also chatted with him naturally, anyway, he is his brother-in-law's cousin, and he is not an outsider.
Yongshu thought that it would be okay to have more people to play together, but he didn't expect that after walking a few steps, he actually bumped into an acquaintance again!
Under the light of the lamp, the handsome and cold vine-colored figure was particularly conspicuous in the crowd, and it was undoubtedly Hongyan.
Coincidentally, Honghui also saw Yongshu. The moment the two looked at each other, his eyes surged with thousands of thoughts, but Hongyan on the side stared at him with burning eyes, Honghui had some scruples, and finally looked away.
At this moment, he saw Hongyu beside Yonglan at a glance, "Little Liu? In the afternoon, I asked you to come out to enjoy the lanterns, didn't you say that you couldn't be empty? ”
Hongyu was thinking about the agreement with Hongday, waiting to see Yonglan, when he asked him with the third brother, he did not agree, who would have thought that he would meet here, Hongyu with a weak heart excused:
"Originally, I couldn't be empty, but then I got free, so I didn't come out to find you!"
Honghui felt that his younger brother seemed to be having a good time here, how could he have half a point to find him?
"Xiaoliu has a lot of trouble, please forgive me." Then Honghui asked Hongyu to go with him, how could Hongyu be willing to leave? He finally met Yonglan, and he wanted to say a few more words to her! Reluctant to go, he had an idea and took the initiative to invite,
"Third brother, I happened to meet the fifth brother today, why don't we play together!"
When Yongshu heard this, he secretly sighed that it was not good, and he said in his heart, this child must not make trouble for her!
