Chapter 52: The Twisted Melon Is Not Sweet, But Quenching Your Thirst!
In ancient times, the Shangyuan Festival.
That is, the Lantern Festival.
It's a festival celebrated all over the world, a real carnival, and even Valentine's Day.
At the night market on this day,
The third watch has just closed, and the fifth watch has opened again.
It's a real one, even more lively and romantic than Tanabata!
"The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk" describes the Shangyuan Festival.
In ancient times, most young unmarried girls were not allowed to show their heads.
But Shangyuan Day is an exception.
Unmarried girls can go to the market and the riverside in groups.
At night, you can guess lantern riddles, enjoy lanterns, and participate in various activities.
In ancient times, the Lantern Festival was comparable to Valentine's Day and more romantic than Qixi Festival.
And young lads can take advantage of this opportunity to find a sweetheart.
This is why Zhu Gaoxu likes this festival.
At this time, at the head of the city, you can see many girls walking together.
The flowers are gradually fascinating the eyes...
He was already a little dazzled.
"Second brother, what are you looking for?"
Zhu Gaosui asked.
"Whisper to you."
Zhu Gaosui whispered: "The second brother is protecting our eldest sister, see if there are any suspicious people, don't talk nonsense, be careful to startle the snake." ”
Zhu Gaosui sneered: "Second brother, why do you look at the girl, you are really stupid." ”
“.......”
Zhu Gaoxu was speechless for a while, and gave him a look:
"Be quiet, I'm going to beat you up, the eldest sister's lifelong event has been solved, and I haven't landed yet... You go and watch the eldest sister and brother-in-law from afar, and I'll come when I go..."
"Second brother, come on and find me a sister-in-law."
Zhu Gaosui is still enough to drum up his brother's strength.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't listen to it at all.
He saw an extremely beautiful woman, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.
The girl's skin is clean and tender, her eyebrows are like green daisies, her shallow lips are red without dots, and a pair of dimples are looming, which is extremely cute, which is exactly the type that Zhu Gaoxu likes.
She was walking with a group of women on the city walls.
Seeing that they are dressed like talented girls, they should not be ordinary girls.
The so-called fair lady, the gentleman is good.
Zhu Gaoxu has reached the age of Sichun.
He was not a brave master, he strode over, and accosted: "Under Zhu Gaoxu, dare to ask the girl's name?" Can we walk together on this wall? ”
"Sick..."
Several women were talking and laughing, and suddenly a tall figure appeared in front of them, all of them were startled, and one of the women cursed secretly, and then hurriedly pulled the woman next to her and walked away.
"I.... Not sick..."
Zhu Gaoxu looked at the backs of the women leaving, and hung his head in his heart.
I just hate that I don't have a brother-in-law to please girls, and I miss a good relationship.
At this time, Zhu Gaosui appeared silently and comforted:
"Second brother, don't be discouraged, go back and let your father arrange a matchmaker and give them a dowry, which girl can resist the noble county king of Yanwangfu?"
Zhu Gaoxu said angrily: "You know a fart, the twisted melon is not sweet." ”
Zhu Gaosui said: "But it quenches your thirst!" ”
Zhu Gaoxu: "......."
...
...
"Gao Xu, this is.... I've eaten it...."
Li Xiao said with emotion.
Li Xiao and Ning Yun, who were not far away, naturally saw this scene.
"Can you help Gao Xu?"
Zhu Ningyun was a little sweaty when he held Li Xiao's hand, and he was a little nervous in his heart.
It's not all because of Gao Xu's affairs, but because so many women came.
After all, it was her first time going out, and she was a little afraid of crowds.
The group of women was walking along the wall, coming this way.
"I don't have much to do..."
Li Xiao also had a headache.
Picking up one of a group of women is exponentially more difficult.
And to talk to that group of women by himself, didn't this make Ning Yun on the side jealous?
This is a loss-making business, you can't do it!
Besides... Is Zhu Gaoxu a person who lacks a wife?
He is the future king of Han... Don't worry, okay.
But.
Maybe it was meant to be.
The group of women walked in front of Li Xiao's horse, suddenly stopped, and looked at the white horse one after another.
"Wow, what a beautiful horse."
"It's really beautiful, the whole body is as pure as snow, without a trace of impurities."
"This horse is too pretty, isn't it..."
The women looked at the white horse in amazement.
There are little stars in the eyes, and envy is not good.
As the saying goes, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them!
This surprised Li Xiao.
It turns out that no matter how the times change, it is the same reason that women like cars.
Isn't this horse like a car of the future?
Horses are also divided into three, six and nine, Li Xiao's horse is from the Yanwang Mansion, named the White Lion in the Night, the whole body is as white as jade, and it is worth a thousand gold.
A white horse of this level, a proper Lamborghini sports car.
"Childe, can you let us touch this white horse of yours?"
One of the better-looking women looked up, spotted the horse's owner, and asked softly.
"Can you touch it..."
Li Xiao looked at Zhu Ningyun gently and said, "You have to ask my wife to do it." ”
Li Xiao doesn't plan to let his wife be a little jealous, everything has to be up to his wife!
In addition, she should also be encouraged to talk to outsiders and completely get out of the shadows in her heart.
Hearing this, Zhu Ningyun's face was flushed and hot.
The woman looked at Zhu Ningyun again and asked, "Sister, can we touch this horse?" ”
The other women also cast eager glances.
Zhu Ningyun was nervously speechless, and a slight sweat oozed from her forehead.
For so many years, she rarely talked to outsiders.
It was the first time she had met so many eyes.
"Ningyun... Let not let them touch? ”
Li Xiao took her hand and asked softly.
Zhu Ningyun finally mustered up the courage this time and said, "Hmm... Feel free to do so... Just don't scare it..."
"Thank you, sister."
"Thank you."
"We're not going to scare it..."
The women were grateful.
Zhu Ningyun nodded secretly, feeling that it was not so difficult to talk to outsiders.
They wore hats and white yarns, and they didn't look at themselves in a strange light.
But the horse suffered.
Boy!
Pause.
The white lion was under the tender hands of a group of women, and the bow was opened left and right, seeking up and down.
It was initially a little resistant, but in the end it snorted comfortably.
Seeing this scene, Li Xiaoxin said that it is no wonder that the scumbags of later generations like to raise a dog, I am afraid that it is just to attract girls on the street and take the opportunity to talk, right?
"Its fur is so smooth... It's so comfortable to the touch..."
"This horse is much better than my father's horse."
"This horse shouldn't be cheap, I'm afraid it will cost a hundred taels of silver, right?"
"One hundred taels is definitely more than that, I think it's going to cost a thousand taels..."
The women chattered and touched non-stop, talking and laughing.
Li Xiao took the opportunity to look at Zhu Gaoxu, pointed to the horse, and beckoned again, signaling him to come over quickly, the opportunity is rare!
Zhu Gaoxu immediately understood the intention.
After running two steps, he led the horse and came over.
"This horse is called the Snow Treading Horse."
"Back then, the overlord of Chu rode the same horse, and he was known as the crown among horses."
Zhu Gaoxu made an excuse, stopped next to the white horse, and said with a gentle smile.
"It's no worse than this white horse."
