Chapter 882 After being rescued, wandering the market

At this time, the street was still very lively, crowded with people, and the surprise and surprise caused by Chu Yurou and Chu Xixi just now were hidden in the excitement and festivities.

Although Mo Shuang is a master in the shopping malls, like a fish in water, but this is the first time to visit this beggar market, and he doesn't know where there are interesting places, or what are the more attractive activities.

Chu Xixi saw Mo Shuang walking side by side with him. Although he tried his best to look relaxed and leisurely, his eyes always wandered here and there, feeling a little at a loss.

Chu Xixi was amused in his heart when he saw it, but he didn't expose it. After all, he specialized in surgery, and he, Mo Shuang, was not a playful young man, so it was understandable that he was not familiar with such occasions.

Mo Shuang walked on the road a little cautiously. In order to let him relax, Chu Xixi began to talk about some embarrassing things about him in the countryside. No matter how calm Mo Shuang was, he was just a son who grew up in the town. He knew many things in the countryside. interested in.

The two walked around while talking, and Chu Xixi felt the comfort of being completely relaxed for the first time after coming to Chu's house.

"Although I seldom come here, I have also heard some young masters from other families mention that later on, there will be a lantern riddle guessing competition and the so-called 'martial arts contest to recruit relatives'."

No matter how fun Chu Xixi was, she had said the same thing all the way, so Chu Xixi stopped a little parched, and as soon as Chu Xixi stopped, the two of them fell into silence.

Mo Shuang opened his mouth uncomfortably. In fact, he only knew about these things after listening to other people's thoughts. At this time, he was very glad that he knew a few young masters who liked to talk about them. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to communicate in this situation. up.

"Oh?" Chu Xixi showed interest in a timely manner. It was the first time for her to attend the Qiqiao Festival, so she also wanted to know more about the event Mo Shuang talked about.

"Guessing lantern riddles is an ordinary lantern riddle guessing. Whoever guesses the most can get a gift or win a chance."

Mo Shuang tried his best to recall what those young masters said back then, combined with some of his own understanding, and slowly explained.

"Opportunity?" Chu Xixi was very puzzled. She could understand the gift, but where did this opportunity come from?
"Well... because many sons or young ladies have people they have admired for a long time, but due to various reasons, they can't directly say it."

Mo Shuang waited for a while, as if deliberately trying to keep it a secret.

"Because the host who guesses the lantern riddles every year is a well-known matchmaker in our town. If the person who guesses the most lantern riddles at the end, if that person does not want a gift or the opportunity, the matchmaker will waive that person's reward."

"If it's a son, I'll help him propose a marriage; if it's a daughter's family, I'll help her convey her wishes. In short, it's an opportunity that everyone wants."

Mo Shuang hadn't said so many words, and he was a little thirsty after speaking, but he was very satisfied with being able to say the rules.

"Can I only talk about the person I like, and can't I have other wishes?" Chu Xixi couldn't figure this out. Could it be that this opportunity can only be used to confess?

"Eh?" Mo Shuang didn't expect her to ask such a question, and he couldn't answer for a while. He really didn't know the specifics of the final victory in guessing the lantern riddles, and those young masters didn't mention it when they talked about it. .

But thinking about it, if they got the first prize, they would naturally propose to the girl they like. Who in this town doesn't have someone they secretly like?People like Mo Shuang and Chu Xixi are actually very few.

Seeing that he couldn't answer, Chu Xixi looked a little embarrassed, so she didn't want to embarrass him anymore, so she just smiled and said, "I'm just asking casually, don't worry about it."

Mo Shuang smiled back in embarrassment, and Chu Xixi paused for a while and said, "Then what is 'martial arts contest'?"

"Contesting to recruit relatives is to paste the name of the unmarried girl on the hydrangea ball after seeking the consent of the girl's family, and tie it to the highest place of the table built. to snatch."

"Whoever snatches it in the end, after obtaining the consent of the girl's family, can choose a date for the wedding..."

In front of Chu Xixi, Mo Shuang knew everything and said everything, but he himself knew very little, so he fell silent immediately after speaking.

"Then what if some girls didn't go up alone?" Chu Xixi always had a lot of questions, and deliberately guided Mo Shuang to speak.

"Then there shouldn't be..." Halfway through the speech, Mo Shuang's face was weird for a moment, as if he wanted to laugh and tried his best to hold back. Seeing Mo Shuang's rare appearance, Chu Xixi was very curious, and urged, "Could it be true? ?”

"En." Mo Shuang nodded, a smile was finally released, and there was a faint sparkle at the corner of his mouth.

"Tell me carefully." At this time, Chu Xixi was no longer the calculating and cautious Chu Xixi, but just a wealthy daughter who was curious about gossip.

Looking at the undisguised curiosity in Chu Xixi's eyes, Mo Shuang's heart throbbed slightly, and then quickly retracted, with the same expression as usual.

"I also heard it from others. One year during the Qiqiao Festival, a girl from another town came and said she was going to participate in a martial arts competition to recruit relatives. Others were still wondering why people from other towns came to our place, and they were still recruiting relatives, so they gathered all at once. caught the attention of a lot of people.”

"But everyone didn't know her well, and she was wearing a veil, so no one went up for a while. The family probably knew that the veil should be taken off first, so they hesitated for a long time before letting the daughter take it off."

"But no one dared to go up after the girl took it off..."

"Why?" Chu Xixi, like a curious child, desperately asked the storyteller.

Mo Shuang turned her head to look at her, and then said, "That girl is slender, but I don't know why her face is so big, and there are some pockmarks on her face. Anyway, it's not good-looking..."

"Just because it doesn't look good?" Chu Xixi was very angry when he heard this. In this world, the most important thing is to judge people by their appearance, and those young masters just judge people by their appearance. It's a bit too much to actually dislike them so obviously.

"No." Mo Shuang knew what Chu Xixi was thinking from Chu Xixi's angry expression. It was a bit funny, but he didn't dare to laugh directly.

He calmed down and said, "That girl wasn't too pleasant to look at, but seeing that the young master didn't go up, she actually uttered foul words. Rao, the young masters who are used to teasing each other couldn't stand the vulgarity in it." Presumably that’s why the daughter hasn’t been able to find Ruyi.”

Chu Xixi nodded clearly, so it was so. "But you seemed very happy when you talked about her just now. Did something interesting happen later?"

"There's nothing interesting about it. It's just that after the girl said those words, the arena moved directly, leaving her sitting there alone for no apparent reason. Thinking about it, I think it's a little funny..."

Mo Shuang put away his overflowing smile and said seriously.
