Chapter 230: Shen Ci and Cheng Gukite
The long street lights are like daylight, and the voices of people are boiling.
The juggling performance was in full swing, and in the shouting and cheering, Cheng Guyuan and Shen Yue'er watched along the way without hurry, followed by two martial arts maids and two female envoys, and only walked slowly.
Suddenly, I heard a lively cheer from the other side of the street.
The two of them made an appointment to go and see.
"So Sister Kite is not interested in looking at it today? Is it because of my second brother? Shen Yue'er glanced at Cheng Guyuan all the way, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Cheng Guyuan was stunned for a moment and said, "Sister Yue'er said it wrong, where would I be in a bad mood because of him." ”
Shen Yue'er hesitated: "Really? "I don't believe it.
Cheng Guyuan said: "Of course. ”
Shen Yue'er sighed: "That's a pity, I thought I could share some of my worries for my late sister." ”
“……”
Cheng Guyuan thought for a moment, and said with an awkward expression: "Actually, there is indeed one thing. ”
Shen Yue'er smiled secretly, and said with a straight face: "It's about the second brother and Sister Ling Wu?" ”
Cheng Guyuan slowly lowered his eyes and acquiesced.
"Speaking of which, the second brother was happy with Sister Lingwu before, but that was before." Shen Yue'er said, "The second brother has been rational since he was a child. I remember when I was very young, my second brother liked to follow my eldest brother to the barracks together, and at that time everyone in the barracks said that in the future, my second brother must be a general like my eldest uncle, and my second brother was very happy and threatened to be a general in the future to guard the people. ”
Cheng Guyuan said: "I know this, but later I went to Jiuqu City, but he gradually became a gentleman in the capital, and I was quite surprised when I heard about it." ”
Shen Yue'er said: "Yes, because at that time, the eldest uncle passed away, and the Ningbei Hou Mansion was crumbling in the court, but my eldest brother took the Jiuqu Xiong Tiger City and stabilized the Ningbei Hou Mansion." His Majesty is jealous of the big families, especially the generals who hold military power, so it is enough for the Marquis of Ningbei to have a big brother. ”
Cheng Guyuan frowned and said, "He just gave up?" ”
Shen Yue'er said: "Therefore, Sister Kite, don't look at the current power of the Ningbei Hou Mansion, but in those years, it was extremely difficult, everyone regarded the Ningbei Hou Mansion as a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, plus Your Majesty has an order, the direct children of the family are not from the same dynasty, and the second brother has no second choice except for hiding clumsy." ”
"Later, His Majesty wanted to choose the Wind Ambassador, and my mother and father were very happy, they could serve the country and travel to Zhaoguo, no matter which purpose was the second brother's eagerness."
Cheng Guyuan twisted his brows and deliberately disdainful: "The most desired? I don't think so, Jing Yan was not quite hesitant at that time? ”
Shen Yue'er was silent and said, "...... Probably because of Sister Lingwu. ”
Cheng Guyuan lowered his face and was silent.
Shen Yue'er covered her mouth and smiled: "It's a pity that Ah Lang is affectionate, and the concubine has no intention, speaking of which, the second brother is still rare to be irrational." However, the second brother should have figured it out later, otherwise he would not have asked for a post. ”
Cheng Guyuan was silent, and turned his face to look at the gorgeous marquee by the river, as if he didn't want to continue the topic.
"Actually, speaking of which, I still feel that my sister and my second brother are a good match."
Cheng Guyuan turned his head and said, "Why? ”
Shen Yue'er's eyes bent into crescent moons, and she replied sincerely: "Because only Sister Gu Kite can accompany the second brother to do what he wants to do regardless of everything." ”
There was a shout on the long street - "Guess the lantern riddle!" Win the lottery! ”
Pedestrians heard the sound and moved to the source of the sound.
There is a high platform outside the restaurant, and the high platform is full of various lanterns, and the lanterns are written with words, and many people are surrounded by the bottom of the high platform, all waiting for the boss to strike the gong to open.
Cheng Gukite followed the pedestrians to the foot of the high platform. Shen Yue'er was not interested, and instead went to the storyteller next door to tell the story.
"Knock-" a gong sounded.
"Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, in order to welcome the New Year, Xianhe Restaurant has set up a hundred lantern riddles, everyone at the bottom can guess, guess the most, you can win the restaurant's centennial wine!"
When the words fell, there was an uproar below.
“……”
"These riddles are kind of interesting."
“……”
"The wine in this restaurant is notoriously expensive, and the owner of the restaurant actually took it out so easily."
Cheng Guyuan leaned his neck and looked at the lanterns on the high platform, and when he felt dazed, a figure suddenly appeared on his side.
"A black dog, neither barking nor roaring. Guess the word? ”
A clear male voice sounded overhead, she was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound, and when she turned her head, she saw Shen Ci standing half a meter away from her, with straight shoulders and back, long hair tied high, and a brick-red brocade robe glowing a little red under the light of the lantern fire.
Finding Cheng Guyuan staring at him blankly, Shen Ci lowered his head and said awkwardly: "Why do you look at what I do, I have a riddle on my face?" ”
Cheng Guyuan came back to his senses and said with a cold face: "Who is looking at you." ”
"If you don't look at me, who are you staring at?" Shen Ci sneered unrelentingly.
"Look at a fool." Cheng Gu Kite Road.
“……”
Cheng Guyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, turned his head and continued to look at those riddles, and at a glance he saw the one that Fang had just read out - a black dog, not roaring or barking.
She frowned and thought about it, but to no avail.
“…… Silent. Shen Ci looked at her expression and explained.
Cheng Guyuan glanced at him coldly, intertwined his hands into the embroidered brocade cloak, and said angrily: "Who made you meddle, I can guess it myself." ”
Shen Ci said lazily: "With your brain, you still want to win the lottery?" ”
Cheng Guyuan almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, turned around angrily and was about to leave, and as soon as he took a step, his shoulder was buckled back by a hand.
"Just kidding, you're really angry." Shen Ci pulled her back in front of him and stood with each other looking at each other.
Cheng Guyu's little face turned red, but it was not because of shyness, he glared at Shen Ci viciously and said, "Just kidding again, Shen Jingyan, in your heart, I am the joke." ”
After that, Cheng Guyuan slapped Shen Ci's hand on her shoulder, and went against the pedestrians, and after a few steps, Shen Ci caught up.
"Cheng Guyuan, you have a big temper, when did I take you as a joke?" Shen Ci is serious, no longer hippie smiley.
Cheng Guyuan heard what he said, and she was even more angry, she was angry for a day, but this person didn't notice it at all.
She snorted: "Yes, you didn't take me as a joke, when you heard that Lord Yue said that he was coming to Yusu City, you were happier than anyone else." ”
Shen Ci frowned and said, "Look at you didn't lose your face when you chatted with your grandmother." ”
Cheng Gukite choked and said, "That... How can it be the same, I am happy because I saw Mrs. Shen, and you are happy because you know in your heart, why do you want to confuse me with you. ”
Shen Ci raised his eyebrows, and then he understood the meaning of Cheng Guyuan's words, and he joked in his heart, and said: "Yes, I'm really happy and different from you." ”
Cheng Gu Kite is dark and dark.
Just then, a carriage rushed out of the crowd.
"Let it go, please let it go!" The coachman said in a hurry.
The pedestrians were frightened by the sudden change and scurried around, and Cheng turned around, but was hit from behind in an unsuspecting situation and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Ci quickly grabbed one of her arms, pressed the woman into his arms, wrapped one arm around the woman's body, and retreated towards the side of the street without hurrying.
The young man is not a strong figure, but his arms are like an iron wall, Cheng Guyuan's whole person froze, and Ren Shen Ci took her away from the human vortex.
"What's wrong?" Shen Ci saw that she had been stunned and asked.
"No... It's nothing. Cheng Guyuan blushed, and the resentment that had been nested in his heart before dissipated at this moment.
"Since it's okay, let's continue to solve the lantern riddle, don't you like to drink, this color can't be let out."
Shen Ci pulled Cheng Gukite back to the high platform.
