Chapter 22: Steal her limelight!
The stall owner's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly announced: "This boy guessed right!" It's just a word! ”
There was boos from the audience.
Someone else said unconvinced: "I guessed it too, it's just a step slower!" ”
But the stall owner didn't care, but just politely invited the guessed person to come to the stage.
Caitou is the largest and most gorgeous lantern on the stall.
"I won't get this lottery, because I don't know who stuffed a note in my hand with the answer to the riddle. I was curious, so I just gave it a try. ”
Instead, the man hid in the crowd and refused to appear.
Qiao Wanshu guessed the riddle no matter who guessed the riddle and got the lottery head.
As long as Fang Yan'er is not in the limelight, she is happy to slap her face.
Don't look big at this riddle stall, the background behind it is not small.
It was made by a well-known literary club in the capital to make fun.
Fang Yan'er guessed the riddle, and after coming to power, she solved several tricky puzzles one after another, which made her famous in Beijing, and she took the first step to gain a foothold in the capital with her talented woman!
Now that she has been preempted and ruined her plan, it is not easy to find the right opportunity.
Qiao Wanshu stared at Fang Yan'er closely, seeing that she was so angry that her silver teeth were biting, her delicate facial features were a little distorted, not to mention how refreshing she was.
Holding Qiao Jinghan's neck, he leaned forward and closed his back with a smile, and a pair of fat little paws turned red.
Fang Yan'er was unwilling, and raised his voice: "Since the son has guessed the riddle, he should come to the stage to let everyone see him." ”
"Otherwise, if you grab the lottery and abandon it, won't you ruin the happiness of the host and the participants? If you're just blindsided, say it. Otherwise, how can you convince the people? ”
She said it aggressively, that is, she wanted that person to show up, and guess a few more to convince the public.
But the man insisted that he was just having a good time and didn't want to guess anymore, so the two were deadlocked.
The stall owner wanted to play a round, but Fang Yan'er also "argued with reason", implying that there was another hidden plot in it, and the two were colluding to make a show, and he didn't want to give the color head to people.
At this time, even the stall owner was annoyed, and the onlookers below pointed at Fang Yan'er and whispered.
"It's a beautiful female doll, why do you talk so mean?"
"That's it, even if she guessed it first, who asked her to be slow and didn't say it, this means that people are colluding to make a show, can't you afford it?"
"I think she can't be in the limelight, so I'm annoyed! A good girl's family, not dignified and stable at all, who taught it, and she is not afraid of being laughed at. ”
The sound of gossip penetrated into her ears, and Qiao Wanshu's smile gradually faded.
Anyway, Fang Yan'er still has the name of a distant relative of the Qiao family.
It is certainly refreshing that she is deflated now, but if it is spread that this is related to the Qiao family, won't it bring the reputation of the Qiao family?
Her cute little face collapsed again, and she stared at Fang Yan'er with a frown, but she didn't realize that someone was staring at her in the crowd.
There was a six- or seven-year-old child standing seven or eight people apart.
is not very old, but he has a calm bearing that does not match his age.
Behind him, on his side, stood several tall men in ordinary clothes, faintly guarding him in the center.
"Little master, it's obviously the answer to the riddle you guessed, why did you give it up so easily?"
"Didn't you say that you want to bring the lanterns back and show them to the imperial concubine?"
The man behind him lowered his voice, but received no response from the child.
"How could it be...... She should have been dead, how could she still ...... Sure enough, it's really all different. ”
The little boy muttered, his eyes fixed on Qiao Wanshu.
That gaze was so undisguised that it was difficult for the Qiao brothers and sisters to ignore it.
The two of them turned their heads at the same time, and their hearts were shocked!
Qiao Jinghan hurriedly hugged Qiao Wanshu and squeezed over, bowing to the little boy.
"The minister has seen His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, His Majesty has given a banquet today, you are not in the palace, how can you ......?"
He didn't finish what he said next.
This is clearly sneaking out, just say hello, how can you still get to the bottom of it.
The Nine Emperor Princes said calmly: "The palace banquet is boring, I sit bored, so I come out to relax and relax." ”
As soon as he changed his words, he brought it to Qiao Wanshu.
"I heard that the Qiao family is happy to add a daughter, it's this little lady, right? Sure enough, Yuxue is cute, as rumored, a beauty billet. ”
Qiao Wanshu also recognized the identity of the little boy early on.
It's just that she can't speak now, which just happens to save her the trouble of saying hello.
But the way the Nine Emperor Prince looked at her always made her heart a little hairy.
The eyes that seemed to see through everything made her feel like she had nothing to hide.
This Nine Emperors is an extremely marginal character in the original book, and he has only appeared in a few strokes.
I only know that he is not favored, and he doesn't even mix a few words in the background.
So Qiao Wanshu can't see through his future fate.
This feeling of not being in control made her feel very uncomfortable, so she only babbled perfunctorily, then turned her head and retracted into Qiao Jinghan's arms.
The Nine Emperor Princes stepped forward, as if they wanted to say something more.
A guard suddenly stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.
His face changed slightly, and he said to the Qiao family brothers and sisters: "This prince still has something to do, go first." I'll be free another day, and I'll bother at home. ”
After that, without waiting for Qiao Jinghan to respond, he turned around and hurried away.
[Oh, and come up to my house? Why don't I remember this one? 】
Qiao Wanshu is trying to recall the plot to see if she has missed any details.
Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of a beautiful and delicate woman, who was stopped by several ruffian-like men, who were salivating and flirting, and even wanted to push and shove.
[I'll go, second sister-in-law! 】
Qiao Wanshu's eyes lit up.
staring at the little beauty in distress.
That's Qiao Jingyue's true daughter, the bitter mandarin duck in the original plot.
Wu Qingyun, the daughter of Wu Shangshu!
The beauty is in trouble, and the hero who should come to save is not there, so let the third brother make up the number first!
She babbled again, and her little paws kept boggling.
However, Qiao Jinghan couldn't hear her heart, but she was excited to watch the excitement, and took out the rattle she just bought to amuse her.
[Teasing your sister! 】
Qiao Wanshu asked Cang Tian speechlessly, and she didn't bother to roll her eyes.
[If you don't save the second sister-in-law, she will be slighted by the ruffian, you will wait to be beaten to death by the second brother! ] 】
She knows too well that Qiao Jingyue has the face of a weak scholar, but she can fight against Qiao Jinghan for 300 rounds without falling behind.
Clean up Qiao Jinghan, that's all right!
Fortunately, the commotion in the crowd was getting bigger and bigger, and Qiao Wanshu spared no effort to push over there.
Finally, he saw the scene of molesting a woman from a good family.
"Stop it! The Son of Heaven dares to tease a good family on the street, he is tired of being crooked, right? ”
Qiao Jinghan roared angrily, shaking the ears of the people around him.
immediately stepped forward and hugged Qiao Wanshu in front of Wu Qingyun.
