Scholar’s Sweetheart - Chapter 453
The Lantern Festival four years later.
This night when the lights are on, the streets and alleys of the capital are full of lights. The lights are as bright as the day. There are thousands of lanterns along the streets, which are shining in the sky. The people rush into the city with joy, singing and dancing.
The streets are crowded with talented people and beautiful women. They are surrounded by colorful lanterns to guess puzzles, which attracts bursts of applause. Other people are also very happy to watch juggling and strange. Looking around, there are smiling faces. It can be seen that these people have had a wonderful life these years without any sorrow.
“Miss, there are so many people going out to the lantern party today. Let’s have a cup of tea in the elegant room instead of crowding down there.” The servant girl waited on the 15-year-old wennuan and sat down with tea and snacks.
Warm hands holding warm tea cup also did not drink, looking at the bright street outside the window, “brother, what about them?”
Today, before I came out, my mother told me to look at my younger brothers and ask them to go back earlier. When they came out together, they would naturally go back together, but now they don’t know where they have gone.
The servant girls said, “the elder and the younger met their classmates and went to the elegant room upstairs.”
“Hum, leaving me alone again and going home is like complaining to my parents.” Wennuan snorted, then sipped her tea and looked at the crowded street outside. Thanks for booking this elegant room early, otherwise she would have to die.
“Sister Lu, are you going out to watch the Lantern Festival alone?” At this time, there was a woman’s voice outside.
Nuan Nuan looked back and found that it was Miss Zhou who didn’t deal with her. She was not happy in her heart, but she said in a soft voice: “I watched the Lantern Festival with my brothers for a while, and I felt a little tired, so I came up and sat down for a while. Sister Zhou, where are you going?”
Miss Zhou was so angry that they couldn’t get a room, so they had to sit in the lobby. As a result, when they went upstairs, they found that Lu xiangnuan had a room by herself. She was so angry.
Looking at the movement of Miss Zhou’s eyes and eyebrows, wennuan was amused. “Sister Zhou, have you not ordered a room? Why don’t we sit together? Anyway, my brother is going upstairs to play with his classmates. ”
Miss Zhou snorted, “no, we’ve got an elegant room. I saw sister Lu sitting here alone when I was passing by. It’s really sister Lu’s life. It’s not like us…”
Speaking of this, he sighed, “my father’s salary really can’t support me to use such a large elegant room.”
Warm warm heart sneer, want to say my father corruption? Is there anything wrong with your brain? My family’s silver is all the money my mother earned from doing business. There is a smile on her face: “look, sister Zhou, you say that. Who doesn’t know that the account department has a lot of money.”
“What are you talking about?” Miss Zhou’s face was very ugly.
Nuan Nuan shrugged and blinked innocently, “isn’t this a well-known thing? The Ministry of accounts is in charge of Dazhou’s national treasury…. ”
Another girl came by and said with a smile, “ah Nuan is right. The account department is in charge of money. Doesn’t Miss Zhou even know what her father does?”
Looking at the visitor, Miss Zhou’s face turned ugly again. “Miss Jiang, are you coming to the Lantern Festival?”
“What will you do if you come out today and don’t watch the lights? Look at the head? ” Another Miss Xie was frank, and she didn’t know how to beat around the bush. She couldn’t say a word to Miss Zhou.
The ugly looking Miss Zhou was so angry that she left directly.
Wennuan asked her handkerchief to come into the elegant room, “sister Jiang and sister Xie, how did you come?”
“There was a delay on the way.” Miss Jiang sat down and said, “why did Zhou Xiurong come to trouble you again?”
“Be jealous of my beauty.” After growing up, wennuan looks very beautiful. She looks like a girl with beautiful eyebrows, and her eyes are as clear as a rainbow. She looks back and smiles a little, just like her name. It’s warm in spring.
Covered with satin like green silk, the jade hairpin inlaid with gold is tied up. The light blue xiangyunsha skirt is tied with a white ribbon. It is light and elegant.
Miss Jiang looked at Lu xiangnuan, the curved Emei, the pretty Qiong nose, and the cherry lips like dripping water. When I first saw her, I was really surprised, and the title of the first beauty in Beijing was just like that.
If she is not familiar with Lu xiangnuan, Miss Jiang will think that Lu xiangnuan is a beautiful girl with elegant, refined and immortal appearance. But when she is familiar with Lu xiangnuan, she knows that Lu xiangnuan is actually a steamed bun filled with black sesame seeds. Although she looks gentle, she is actually a fierce little girl. When they went to the street together, they met two frivolous hooligans. At that time, there were no male servants around them. When they were very scared, they saw Lu xiangnuan flash and get close to the hooligan. They beat them to tears with extremely fast speed.
If she didn’t stop her, Lu xiangnuan would kick the hooligan hard.
Since that time, she has really understood the meaning of this sentence.
Nuan Nuan doesn’t want to be so violent, but who doesn’t let the Kung Fu maid around? She learned to ride and shoot just to protect herself.
“Yes, you are the most beautiful.” After getting familiar with Lu xiangnuan, Miss Jiang knew that she was a girl who loved beauty and narcissism.
Warm lips a hook, smile: “thank you Jiang elder sister praise.”
Several people sat by the window, watching the lively acrobatics downstairs, and looking at the lake in the distance, there are many boats on the lake.
At the Lantern Festival, the painted boat is the most beautiful. The eaves of the boat are full of lanterns, which are bright and dazzling. Inside, there are singing girls playing on the piano. Their voices are long and graceful, like anger, like resentment, like lovers’ whispers. The lights and the moon are shining, singing all night, and the water is murmuring, reflecting a beautiful color.
Nuan Nuan holds her cheek and looks at a line of bright women standing on the trestle not far below the teahouse. With the help of her maidservant, she carefully goes up to the boat. When she gets on the boat, the boat music starts and gradually goes away.
“Ah Nuan, but do you want to take a boat?” Asked Miss Xie.
Nuan Nuan holds her cheek and looks at the boat. The cherry lips like dripping cherry are slightly open, and the air is like orchid. Just when everyone thinks she is going, she says, “the boat is empty all around. It’s not good if it’s cold in such a cold night.”
“…” Miss Jiang did not care about the etiquette of the boudoir, and she burst out laughing.
Miss Xie couldn’t help laughing and said, “sister ah Nuan, I really shouldn’t have hope for you.”
“It is.” Because of the connivance of song Xintong, the love of Lu Yunkai, the sister nurse of the twins, the warm temperament, jumping but not foolishly, the surface is naive and simple, but the heart inside, occasionally loose like a cat, and occasionally like a beast ready to go.
People who don’t know her only think that she is the eldest lady of Lu Shangshu’s family. She is a low-key person, but also because she is beautiful and has little talent. In fact, on the contrary, her talent and beauty coexist. If she is a man, she will be regarded as the son of heaven.
But it’s already a woman, and no amount of assumptions are useful.
Miss Jiang looked down at the streetscape, “there are many more scholars at the Lantern Festival this year.”
“In February, there will be another examination, and many foreign candidates have already entered Beijing.” The other ladies said.
Wennuan pointed to one of the people downstairs and whispered, “ah, sister Jiang, do you think that’s your fiance?”
Sitting on one side, Miss Jiang’s family looked in the direction indicated by Nuan Nuan. She did see her betrothed son-in-law, accompanied by her brothers and sisters, standing at a place where she could guess lantern riddles and win lanterns.
But Miss Jiang took a look at it and took her eyes back. She deliberately moved back, as if she didn’t want to be found.
Warm some worry, “Jiang elder sister.”
Miss Jiang shook her head and said in a light voice, “it’s OK.”
Wennuan doesn’t know that sister Jiang is lying. She knows that the marriage between the Jiang family and the Ma family is a family mission. But sister Jiang doesn’t like the Ma family at all. How can she marry if she doesn’t like it? If she wants to get married, she will choose someone she likes. Only those who like each other can be as long as their parents.
Instead of noticing the news of miss wennuan and Miss Jiang’s family, the ladies next to them continued to follow the topic of the February examination: “there must be a lot of talents this year. You can also choose them well.”
“I’ve already made an appointment. You can choose.”
“I’m about to get engaged, too.”
“Me too.” The girls said shyly.
“The only one who hasn’t been engaged is sister Lu. Sister Lu can choose a better life.”
Nuan Nuan is not shy, just not willing to say more about these topics, so as not to be caught by them and joke: “how did you say about me?”
“You’re the only one here who’s not engaged.” Miss Xie said, “ah Nuan, you were in your hairpin last year. Why did Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu decide to marry you?”
Women in the Zhou Dynasty can get married at 15.
But the women in Xun GUI’s family are more expensive, and they will stay for another year or two, but at the latest they will be no more than 18. Therefore, all the girls present in the 14th and 15th years have been engaged, and those who have not been engaged will look after each other well.
“Because I don’t have anyone I like yet.” Warm little voice.
Miss Xie was very surprised, “do you want to choose one you like?”
Warm nod.
“But does Mrs. Lu agree?” Because in Miss Xie’s heart, parents will not allow their children to choose the person they like. If the person they marry happens to be the right one, it will be very lucky.
Nuan nodded, “I don’t want to regret marrying someone I don’t like for the rest of my life.”
Miss Jiang’s heart trembled when she heard this sentence. A flash of light flashed through the Phoenix’s eyes, but soon disappeared, and no one noticed.
A few people chatted for a while, and fireworks were set off by the lake.
The fireworks flew into the air, burst open, and lit up the night sky, but soon disappeared. One by one, just like a meteor in general, across the sky, but fleeting. At this time, the fireworks did not have a few colors, nor much shape, just like a scattered flower in general, quickly disappeared without a trace.
It’s beautiful.
But it’s just a moment of beauty, like a thousand trees and flowers scattered by the east wind, and the fireworks are blowing, falling like rain.
After watching the fireworks, it was very late.
But before the twins came downstairs, Nuan Nuan sent someone upstairs to look for them. After waiting for a moment, they never returned.
When she heard the noise upstairs again, it seemed that something had happened. Wennuan was worried. She carried her skirt and went upstairs. As soon as she stepped on the stairs, she heard someone shouting: “kill me, kill me!”
What situation, warm eyebrow a jump, afraid of what happened to the twins, immediately to the sound of the room quickly.
Just ran a few steps, she heard the voice of the scroll, “you quickly stop.”
As soon as wennuan heard the voices of her brothers, she was very worried. She was afraid of something. She stepped faster. She walked with great strength and was quite a general.
Wait to walk to ya door to see, see a lot of people blocking in the door, someone kept shouting: “what’s the matter?”
“Who pushed me? Don’t squeeze
“Oh, my legs, my waist…”
“Who kicked me?”
“Oh, who hit me again.”
……
I don’t know who moved first. For a moment, Yajian made a mess and turned into a scene of group fighting.
Warm fire big, shout a way: “a Mo a Yan.”
The steamed buns and rolls in the crowd didn’t hear warm shouts at all.
Wennuan frowned. When she was about to come forward, she saw a scholar dressed up coming towards her, “where’s the little girl? She’s so handsome.”
“It’s dangerous inside. Let Xiaosheng escort the girl home first.”
Wennuan looks at the scholar in front of him, a good-looking animal, frowning unhappily. Then he raises his foot and kicks the scholar who is coming towards him. The scholar’s footwall is unstable, and he rolls a good circle on the ground before he stops.
“Oh, this young master has fallen accidentally.” Warm lightly said a, and then the line of sight fell in a chaotic elegant room, and then let one side of the maid yelled: “the prince is coming!”
“Here comes the prince?”
The people in Yajian are all the sons of aristocratic families or official families. They are not afraid of the government, not afraid of the guards, but afraid of the emperor and the prince.
“Where is your Highness the prince?”
Wennuan walks to the corner of the corridor and looks at the scholars who come out of the corridor. He remembers the people who make trouble one by one. Tomorrow morning, he will ask his father to read all these people.
“Here comes the prince?”
“Where is it?”
“I didn’t see it. Who’s cheating?”
As soon as his voice fell, he saw the people of the government enter quickly, and asked angrily, “who is making trouble here? They’re all in jail. ”
The faces of the scholars and CHILDES who make trouble change one after another. If they are caught in prison on the Lantern Festival night, they will be killed by their elders.
Warm eyes see the twins squeeze out from the inside, quickly grasp the two people’s lapels and pull back.
“Which son of a bitch drags me.” You have to do it before you turn back.
“I’m your sister!” Wennuan knocked on huajuan’s head twice, “don’t you hurry and go with me! If you don’t leave tomorrow, I’ll wait for my parents to go to the prison to get you. ”
On the angry sister, huajuan also dare not have any complaints, drooping his head, followed wennuan from the back of the teahouse.
Wennuan took her two younger brothers out of the teahouse.
“Sister, take it easy. There are so many people watching.” Huajuan straightened his clothes and patted off the wrinkles.
“I’m afraid you’ll be seen by others. You’ll go to fight. I’ll see if my parents don’t deal with you!” Nuan Nuan glared at the scroll, then looked at the steamed bread and said discontentedly, “you won’t stop him.”
Scroll discontented muttered: “is the elder brother to start first, you still let him stop me.”
“You…” wennuan snorted, raised her hand and knocked on them, “hurry back to me! I’ll take care of you both when I get back! ”
Huajuan shrunk his neck and said, “sister, pay attention to the image.”
Steamed bread nodded in agreement.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Get in.” Nuan Nuan pushed the twins into the carriage and then got on the carriage. When she got on the carriage, she whispered: “it’s not your fault, my lady image has been exhausted by you.”
After getting on the carriage, wennuan opened the curtain and looked at the teahouse. The windows of the elegant room upstairs were closed, and no one was seen.
Warm pursed lower lip, isn’t she read wrong?
