Resourceful beauty

Chapter 21 Self-defeating
"Beautiful sister..."

Fang Ruyu only felt her arm being pulled by someone, and when she turned her head, she was facing Qiu Ming's happy face with a shy smile.

"what……"

As if frightened, Fang Ruyu vigorously waved Qiu Ming's hand away, and turned sideways to avoid him.

His eyes were full of injuries, and Qiu Ming couldn't help slowing down his steps, and he was already behind Qiu Shumin and Fang Ruyu.

Qiu Shumin paused.

In the end it was his elder brother, although he hated him in every possible way, he couldn't help others look down on him, even if that person was the lady of Prince Qi's mansion.

Qiu Shumin glanced at Fang Ruyu indifferently, stepped forward and took Qiu Ming's hand, "Brother, Second Miss Fang didn't do it on purpose. You came from behind and pulled her, and she was frightened. Let's go, you walk behind me around."

After hearing Qiu Shumin's words, Qiu Ming was skeptical, and turned to look at Fang Ruyu.

How dare Fang Ruyu deny it?
Could it be that she just despised him?

Without nodding or shaking his head, Fang Ruyu stood there with an unfriendly expression, lowered his head and remained silent.

In Qiu Ming's eyes, he believed his sister's words.

Pouting his mouth and walking forward, seeing Fang Ruyu took a step back, Qiu Ming apologized softly, "I'm sorry, beautiful sister, I scared you..."

After all, Qiu Ming lowered his head to look into Fang Ruyu's eyes.

Seeing Fang Ruyu frowning and retreating forbearance, for fear of hurting Qiu Ming again, Qiu Shumin hurriedly dragged Qiu Ming to the other side of her. On the other side, she took Fang Ruyu's hand and said, "Sister Ruyu, my brother is not sensible, Don't take it to heart. I was rude to you just now, and I will compensate you for him. "

Fang Ruyu shook his head lightly.

"I know my sister is magnanimous, let's go, let's go to watch the lantern."

Smiling, holding Qiu Ming with one hand and Fang Ruyu with the other, Qiu Shumin walked forward.

Beside Fang Ruyu, Fang Ruhui gave Qiu Ming a somewhat disgusted look, while Fang Ruhua took a step back calmly, mingling with the other ladies.

Noticing Fang Ruhua's small movements, Fang Ruxuan subtly suppressed her smile.

Concubine Wu is narrow-minded and caressing, and she doesn't have any scheming, but the daughter she gave birth to is very good at watching words and tricking her mind. In the previous life, if Fang Ruhua hadn't made up her mind, sisters Fang Ruyu and Fang Ruhui wouldn't have met each other. So many ways to bully yourself.

Fang Ruhua, my good fourth sister, you will pay for your cleverness.

Thinking maliciously, Fang Ruxuan withdrew her thoughts and focused all her attention on the various palace lanterns hanging on both sides of the street.

Flying birds, insects and fish, pavilions, pavilions, and different categories of palace lanterns are so lifelike that people are amazed. Among them, several rotating glazed palace lanterns have attracted everyone's attention.

"Miss, let's go and guess the lantern riddles, maybe we can get a beautiful lantern, and leave it to Lilac then."

Su Ye said excitedly.

The soul in her body is already a 17-year-old girl. Fang Ruxuan no longer has much interest in games such as guessing charades, but what Su Ye said is also reasonable, and she couldn't bear to spoil her interest. Fang Ruxuan nodded and agreed. The two servants stopped in front of one of the crossword puzzle stalls.

A shed built on a wooden frame, with various lanterns hung on it, and a note was hung on each lantern, and what was written on the note was a lantern riddle.

Guess an anagram for [-] Wen. If the guess is correct, the lamp on the anagram will belong to the person who guesses the riddle. If the guess is wrong, there will be a small red paper lantern as a consolation prize.

Although it is a bit simple, it is better than having nothing in your hands, not to mention that today is the last day of the New Year's Day, and it is also a lucky start.

Su Ye has a little bit of literary talent, which was also taught by Fang Ruxuan on weekdays. It is not a big problem to read and read, but it is a bit difficult to guess the crossword puzzles.

Like a beaten eggplant, Su Ye shrank behind Fang Ruxuan dejectedly.

Fang Ruxuan laughed, pointed to the lanterns hanging on the shed and asked her, "Which one do you like? By the way, I'll pick another one for Lilac..."

Su Ye happily tiptoed to choose the lantern, without any doubt that Fang Ruxuan could guess it right, as if it was an easy task for her young lady.

Behind him, a slender young man smiled and said to his companion, "Did you see that? That's what makes a toad yawn. It's such a big tone. Compared with your bragging yesterday, it's nothing."

Fang Ruxuan heard the young man's rude words, but she didn't take it seriously. She glanced at him, turned around and left indifferently.

The young man who spoke smiled embarrassingly, and heeled up.

"Miss, Ding Xiang likes lotus, I want that lotus lantern for her. I want the rabbit lantern in the fourth row..."

Su Ye happily pointed to the two lights for Fang Ruxuan.

There are five rows of lights hanging in the shed. The lights in the back are more delicate and beautiful, but the crossword puzzle is more difficult. In the first three rows, it seems that there are not many lights left.

"Eight or nine is not far from ten, just type one word..."

Su Ye had already taken out a hundred coins from her purse and handed it to the stall owner. Fang Ruxuan murmured the anagrams under the rabbit lamp, and asked without thinking: "But it's a word for 'miscellaneous'? Miscellaneous miscellaneous?"

"Miss is so smart, that's right."

The stall owner responded happily, and then raised his voice and shouted: "The rabbit lantern riddle has been guessed correctly, take off the lantern..."

After the words were finished, a young man behind him took down the rabbit lamp and handed it to Su Ye who stretched out his hand to pick it up.

"Miss, please guess the lantern riddles under the lotus lantern..."

Su Ye pulled Fang Ruxuan in front of the people, and pointed to the lotus lantern in the last row.

It was a lantern with a glazed surface, and the circle inside was spinning on its own. The peach blossoms in spring, the lotus in summer, the chrysanthemums in autumn and the plum blossoms in winter, corresponded to the scenery of the four seasons of the year.

On the long piece of paper, there is only the word "Xin" written on it in a large size. It can be seen that it is a four-character idiom guess.

Fang Ruxuan pursed her lips, thinking seriously.

For a long time, Fang Ruxuan didn't guess it. Behind him, the young man who said Fang Ruxuan's tone was already giggling.

Su Ye turned her head and glared at him angrily, Fang Ruxuan whispered to Fang Ruxuan, "Miss, let's forget it if you can't figure it out, this servant will give the rabbit lamp to Ding Xiang, it's so beautiful, Ding Xiang will definitely like it."

Fang Ruxuan didn't seem to hear, but was still thinking hard.

"Boss, are you standing at thirty?"

"Boss, are you standing at thirty?"

Two voices shouted in unison, one came from Fang Ruxuan, and the other came from the young man standing behind Fang Ruxuan.

The four eyes met, Fang Ruxuan was still very indifferent, but in the eyes of the young man, there was some unexpected surprise.

Behind the table, the stall owner looked at Fang Ruxuan, then at the young man who had guessed right at the same time, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

Su Ye glanced at the young man angrily, and shouted at the stall owner: "Have they paid the money?"

The stall owner shook his head, and immediately shouted with joy: "The Four Seasons Glazed Lantern Riddle has been guessed, take off the lantern..."

"Miss, which one do you like? Let's guess another one..."

Joyfully holding two lanterns, Su Ye looked at Fang Ruxuan fawningly and asked.

Fang Ruxuan shook her head with a smile, turned around and squeezed out of the crowd.

The expression of the man behind him froze when he hesitated to speak.

"Haha, Young Master Song, who everyone loves and loves flowers, will be ignored one day, haha..."

The boy's companion laughed unscrupulously.

Guessing crossword puzzles is only a matter of a cup of tea, but Fang Ruxuan and Su Ye looked around again, but they couldn't find Qiu Shumin and Fang Ruyu and other people.

"Forget it, go back to Huixian Building and wait."

Seeing the crowds of people in front of him, no matter which way to go, it is necessary to squeeze. Su Ye was even more embarrassed to protect the two lamps. Fang Ruxuan spoke.

Su Ye nodded like a chick pecking rice, turned around and ran away decisively holding the lamp.

After returning to the Peony Hall and sitting there for a while, Qiu Shumin and others came back.

The ladies were all happily talking about the exquisite lanterns they had just seen, and a few of them were still pondering over the lantern riddles they hadn't figured out. The maids behind them also held lanterns in their hands, and they all returned with satisfaction.

Fang Ruyu's complexion was very ugly.

Beside him, Fang Ruhui was full of anger, while Fang Ruhua was a little worried.

"It's getting late, let's leave today. I will post another day for all the sisters to come to the Qiu Mansion as guests. I hope you will appreciate it."

Qiu Shumin said with a smile, and ordered the servant girl to open the door, and sent those ladies away one by one.

The Fang Ruyu sisters were the last ones.

"Sister Ruyu, my brother didn't do it on purpose, don't take it to heart, okay? I'll tell my parents when I go back, and let them discipline my brother strictly."

Qiu Shumin apologized to Fang Ruyu with an apologetic face, but Fang Ruxuan could clearly see that there was a glint of excitement in her eyes.

"Let's go……"

Fang Ruyu didn't respond to Qiu Shumin, Fang Ruyu stood up, said a word without turning her head, and went out of the door of Peony Hall first. Behind her, Fang Ruhui gave Qiu Shumin a fierce look, and followed with Fang Ruhua.

Fang Ruxuan turned her head to look at Su Ye, stepped forward to say hello to Qiu Shumin, and followed her out the door.

Back at King Qi's Mansion, I greeted Su Yuan at the Yixin Hall. Seeing her signal for everyone to leave, Fang Ruxuan turned around and left the hall. As soon as she stepped out of the hall, Fang Ruyu's aggrieved cry came from behind her. .

"Go, find out what happened..."

Fang Ruxuan turned her head and said in a low voice.

Nodding in response, Su Ye slowed down, turned around and trotted away.

Su Ye returned to Shu Yuxuan a quarter of an hour later than Fang Ruxuan.

"Miss, the young master of the Qiu Mansion followed the second lady every step of the way. The second lady was anxious to hide, and while Miss Qiu and Master Qiu were admiring the lanterns, she dragged the fourth and fifth misses to escape. As a result, Young Master Qiu couldn't find Second Miss, so he hurriedly followed, there were too many people to see clearly, Young Master Qiu stepped on Second Miss's skirt, and the two of them tripped together..."

Su Ye replied with a smile on his face.

Even though it was night, it was brighter than daytime, and the street was crowded with people, and the two of them huddled together, probably being seen by many people.

Prince Qi's mansion rarely returns to the capital, and not many people know Fang Ruyu, but Qiu Zongde is a prime minister with a man under one person and over ten thousand people, and everyone knows that his family has a stupid son. In this capital, no one knows Qiu Zongde. I am afraid that there are not many people who are wise.

If Qiu Ming falls on the street with Fang Ruyu in his arms before dawn, he might fly all over the sky.

　During the Qingming Festival, it rains heavily.
