Chapter 170: Rivalry in Love
This situation made Honghui more and more convinced that Yongshu's life after marriage was not good, Hongtian treated her with no sincerity, and the non-human she married was all his fault, and what should he do to make up for this mistake?
Just as Honghui's mind was flying, the stall owner had already come up with the fifth riddle:
Red Guan Gong, white Liu Bei, black Zhang Fei, three knots, and one fruit.
As soon as this question came out, everyone was a little confused and discussed, "What is this?" ”
"Could it be Pinpoguo? Is the skin red? ”
"But the core of the Pin Po fruit is not black!"
Everyone couldn't guess what kind of fruit this was, Yongshu Ling's eyes turned, and he said in his heart, I will!
"Lychee!"
This thing is too rare, most of the people present have only heard of it, have never eaten it, naturally can't answer, Hongtian has eaten, he thought about it carefully, the skin of the lychee is red, the flesh is white, and the core is black, it really fits this mystery, he looked at Yongshu in surprise, "Have you eaten lychee?" ”
The lychee is very rare, only a few dozen are sent to the capital every year, the concubine and the prince can only get one, when the lychee is divided this year, Hongday and Yongshu have no feelings, because he did not give the lychee to Yongshu, it stands to reason that she should not have tasted it, how can she know about this thing?
Yongshu then remembered that she had indeed not eaten lychees after coming to the Qing Dynasty, so in order to avoid Hongday's suspicions, she had a flash of inspiration and made an excuse to quibble:
"I haven't eaten it, but I've heard the riddle."
She replied calmly, without a trace of emptiness on her face, Hongtian took it seriously, and did not suspect anything anymore. The group answered five riddles correctly, and the stall owner asked them to choose one of the eight lanterns according to the agreement.
Hongtian asked Yongshu to choose, but Yongshu gave the choice to his sister, and after the two sisters discussed, they finally chose a delicately shaped fawn lamp.
After guessing the riddle, everyone went forward together and went to the river to put lotus lanterns.
In fact, Yonglan already had a monkey lantern in her hand, she hesitated for a moment, walked to Hongyan's side, and plucked up the courage to say to him: "Third master, this deer lantern will be given to you!" ”
Honghui lowered her eyebrows when she heard this, and saw that the deer lamp in her hand was very delicately made, Yonglan was Yongshu's sister, he always had to give her some face, and more importantly, this lamp was picked by Yongshu, Yongshu liked it, so he should collect it.
So Honghui took the deer lantern and thanked him.
Seeing this, Hongyu on the side was immediately unhappy, and complained in a low voice: "Why didn't you give it to me?" I've got you covered! ”
"But you have a lamp in your hand! Only the third master has no light in his hand. ”
Hongyu has a lamp in his hand, but the lamp was bought by himself, not given by Yonglan, in contrast, he still wants what Yonglan gave him.
But in front of everyone, Hongyu was embarrassed to say it bluntly, so he thought that he would find a way to get the deer lamp in the third brother's hand after he went home.
During the chat, everyone went to the river, where people sold lotus lanterns and put pen and paper, and the lamp buyers could write their wishes on the slip of paper.
Yongshu pondered for a moment with his pen, then wrote a line on the paper.
Hongzhi also wrote down his wish, put the note in the lotus lantern, and then walked down the stone stairs, squatted down, and placed Yongshu and his lotus lantern on the water.
Floating lotus lanterns reflect the surface of the river with colorful soft light, and each lamp carries a wish.
Looking at the lotus lantern flowing down the river, Hongtian asked curiously, "What is your wish?" ”
Yongshu was worried, "Is it still effective to say it?" ”
"Maybe you need me to make it happen." Hongyang hoped that she could have him in her wish, but Yongshu said:
"I can do it myself."
Listening to this, it seems that there is no him. Hongtian was slightly disappointed, but it all seemed to make sense. Yongshu has always been independent and doesn't like to rely on him, he doesn't need to care about this, and instead talks about himself,
"Why don't you ask me what my wish is?"
"What did you promise?" Yongshu really asked according to his meaning, and Hongyang smiled mysteriously, "I can't say it, if I say it, it won't work." ”
"......" Yongshu couldn't help but glance at him, and couldn't help but wonder if he did it on purpose, "Then you still let me ask?" ”
"Funny to you!" He looked like he was watching fun, which made Yongshu snort dissatisfied, reached out and dipped some water from the river, and threw it on his face.
Hongtian subconsciously wanted to sprinkle water on her in the same way, but when his fingers touched the water, he realized that the water was cold, and if it was thrown on her, she would probably get cold.
In the end, he withdrew his hand and did not throw water at her, Yongshu then remembered that it was early spring, and the water in the river was still very cold, so her behavior was slightly inappropriate, and there were still water droplets on his face, Yongshu stood up, took out the handkerchief between the placket and handed it to him, and asked him to wipe it.
Hongyang didn't reach out to pick it up, "I can't see it, you help me wipe it." ”
He is really used to being served, and he doesn't want to do any small things, "just wipe it, you don't need to look at it really." ”
There is a great opportunity in front of him, how can he miss it? "The water you throw off, you should naturally wipe it."
That's not because he teased her first, Yongshu doesn't think he's wrong, "If you don't wipe it, you turn around and catch a cold, don't blame me." ”
"I don't blame you, you don't feel sorry for me anyway, I'm used to it."
Hongtian insisted on refusing to do it, and Yongshu was also convinced, "You...... Why are you so stubborn? ”
The water droplets were scattered on his forehead and sideburns, and the wind blew through his heart, but when he raised his hand, he still refused to do it, "You are not stubborn." ”
Yongshu couldn't resist him, and was worried that he would suffer from the cold, so he had to hold a towel and wipe the water droplets on his face for him.
She wiped the water for him so carefully and gently, her eyes contained a little starlight, and the cherry lips under Qiong's nose were thin and moist, Hongtian couldn't help but be stunned, and couldn't help but tilt her head and slowly approach her.
Realizing his purpose, Yongshu's heart pounded, and he immediately took three steps back, and whispered in embarrassment: "You are crazy! This is by the river, in front of the public, how can you come nonsense? ”
Hongtian smiled meaninglessly, "You see that they are all in pairs, and they only have each other in their eyes, who has the time to look at others?" ”
Yongshu looked in the direction of his finger, and saw that all the sentient beings were whispering, and no one was looking at her, but when she turned her head, she inadvertently bumped into Honghui's burning eyes.
Obviously, she is not the original owner, she doesn't love Hongyan, and there is no need to care about his feelings, but when she met his complaining gaze, she was inexplicably weak-hearted, as if she had done something wrong.
Sensing that Yongshu's expression was different, Hongtian looked back, but saw that Hongshu not far away did not enjoy the scenery, and looked at Yongshu here.
Yongshu is his, and it's not Honghui's turn to appreciate it!
Hongday, who was not healing in his heart, immediately took Yongshu's hand and walked in the direction where Honghui was.
Yongshu was slightly flustered when she saw this, she subconsciously wanted to break away, but Hongtian held her hand tightly and continued to move forward, not allowing her to flinch.
