Reborn to marry ex-husband's nemesis

Chapter 88

She didn't bother to argue with Wu Shi, she twitched the corners of her mouth, forced a smile and said, "I don't know either, just guessing randomly."

"Then you guessed wrong." Wu Shi said, "I'll give you that recipe, and I haven't left anything here, so what can I give it to your sister? Maybe it's because your sister has grown up, after all, women's colleges have changed. "

Chu Xi didn't get the result she wanted from Mrs. Wu, and after hearing what Mrs. Wu said, she couldn't help being angry and wronged, and threw herself on the bed and cried a lot.

After crying, Chu Xi became more and more determined. She must be a master and make everyone who gave up on her regret it!

Summer is coming and autumn is coming, the sky is getting cooler, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in a blink of an eye.

This day, the sisters in the mansion all changed into new clothes. After having a reunion dinner together, Chu Zhi accompanied the old lady to enjoy the moon, but was dragged by Chu Xuan to go to see the lanterns.

The old lady didn't detain a few children, she asked the guard and maid to follow her to avoid accidents.

I didn't want to run into Han Zhan as soon as I went out.

This man was dressed in a jade crown and brocade robe, and his spirit was flying high. When he saw Chu Zhi from a distance, he froze in place.

These days, he has been kept at home by Lord Hou to read Na Laoshizi's book, and his head is about to explode.

There is no chance to come out at all.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for more than a month, Chu Zhi's appearance changed drastically.

The skin is firm and fat, the lips are red and the teeth are white, the eyes are bright, and the eyes are full of autumn water, especially the frown and smile, which seem to be breathtaking, but they are full of heroism and elegance, with an indescribable nobility.

Looking at it, Han Zhan's throat was a little dry and he stayed where he was.

He couldn't help touching his chest: Oh no, the heart beat faster.

Han Zhan secretly said: He is sure that he really has a heart disease. It seems that he really needs to see a doctor. This is a serious illness and must not be delayed any longer.

Seeing Han Zhan staring at him in a daze, Chu Zhi stepped forward, "Why are you in a daze?"

Han Zhan came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows and smiled coquettishly: "I was about to call you to watch the lanterns, but I didn't want you to come out."

Chu Zhi joked: "What lantern are you looking at? Just look at you, you are more beautiful than lanterns."

The feminine and beautiful appearance made the world lose its color, and Chu Zhi was right.

It was the first time Han Zhan saw Chu Zhi making such a joke, he couldn't help being stunned, and then laughed: "You are the only one who is so courageous, do you know what happened to the last person who talked about my appearance?"

"I won't be beaten to death by you, will I?"

"If you don't die, you will lose half your life." Han Zhan changed his voice, "But you are different."

Han Zhan couldn't tell exactly how it was different. He only knew that when the man said he was prettier than women, he felt extremely annoyed and wished he could kill him soon.

But when Chu Zhi praised him, he felt sweet and proud.

All the sisters in the mansion were there, and Han Zhan was of high status and gorgeous, the other girls were all blushing and a little bit shy.

Han Zhan didn't realize it: "Since we're all here, let's go together, there are more people and it's lively."

At this moment, everyone just went to the street, and it began to be lively. The colorful lanterns were connected in a long line, illuminating the entire Chang'an City, reflecting the lights of thousands of families, and there was a kind of gentleness and peace that was quiet in the years.

Han Zhan raised his chin slightly, drawing a beautiful arc: "I have a good place here, but I don't know if you want to see the lanterns first, or come with me first?"

"You have asked this, which means that you want to go to the good place you mentioned first." Chu Zhi smiled and asked Chu Yan, "Brother, where do you want to go?"

"Don't look at me, I'm here to accompany you guys tonight." Chu Yan said, "Grandmother specifically told me to take you to have fun and have fun."

"Actually, I'm very happy to be able to come out with you." Chu Zhi frowned.

Chu Xuan took the lead and said: "Looking at the lanterns every year, it's so boring, why don't you go to the good place you mentioned first!"

Chu Xuan is a child at heart, loves to play and loves to be lively, knowing that Han Zhan can say yes, it must be fun.

It was Chu Nuan who said, "Why don't you go to see the lanterns first! Fifth sister just returned home, and this is the first Mid-Autumn Festival she has ever returned home. The lanterns in the capital are still very lively."

Chu Zhi raised his eyes, and Chu Nuan met her gaze with a friendly smile exuding kindness.

Chu Xuan slapped her forehead: "Ah, I almost forgot my fifth sister! It's time to fight."

The delicate appearance made everyone laugh.

"In that case, I'll take you to the West Market." Han Zhan said, "There are many glazed lamps from other countries, and they are even beautiful."

Under the night, Chang'an City has lion dances and drums, juggling and martial arts, and countless lamps reflect the joyful smiles on the faces of the people. Many girls, children and teenagers are holding lanterns in their hands and talking to each other.

"What's so interesting about these, look over there!" Seeing Chu Zhi staring intently at the lanterns on the rows of stalls, Han Zhan pulled her sleeves and pointed to the other side, "There is a talent competition over there, who will win?" Whose is the sky lantern on it?"

Chu Zhi followed his line of sight, and saw many young girls wearing colorful gauze dresses, either delicate or charming, cool or hot, each with its own merits, lined up outside the lifts erected by the pillars, next to them It's people who circle around and watch the excitement.

On the stage was a young woman about [-] years old, dressed beautifully, smiling and talking, and above her head was a huge, large colorful lantern.

I don't know what kind of material it is made of. It doesn't look tacky but reveals simple elegance. There are long tassels under each petal, and a luminous pearl is embedded in the tip of each petal, not to mention the one in the center of the stamen. The fist is big.

Looking at the situation, Chu Zhi had a guess in his heart.

The Holy Majesty likes extravagance, so the children of the rich families in the capital followed suit, spending time and wine, eating, drinking and having fun, so they were very happy.

I don't know when it started, every important festival, there are various competitions from the Red Mansion Chu Pavilion, and the prizes for winning the first prize are generous.

This is not the most important thing, the important thing is that these women who won the first place will be sent to the palace.

It can be said that the reason why these people dared to do such a lively event so blatantly, and everyone praised it so much, was that some people acquiesced and even supported it, just to please the Holy One.

The reason why Chu Zhi knew so clearly was because he heard Gu Changyan mention a few words when he first got married in his previous life.

At that time, they were newly married and did not have a falling out. It happened to coincide with the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Gu Changyan told Chu Zhi something.

Originally, Gu Changyan wanted to take Chu Zhi out to watch the lanterns, but there was an accident in the palace, Gu Changyan rushed to the fourth prince's mansion overnight, so Chu Zhi failed to go.

Sure enough, Chu Yan frowned and said, "Young Master."

"What's wrong?" Han Zhan raised his eyebrows.

"My Chu family are all serious ladies, how can I watch that kind of excitement?"

Han Zhan curled his lips: "It's just to watch the excitement, not to do anything else!"

Chu Zhao, who has always maintained the aloof personality, bowed to Han Zhan and said respectfully, "Young Master's heart and daughters are waiting for you, why don't we go to the lake to have a look? There are also many lanterns there. If you find something you like and buy it together, you can just go to the lakeside to light a lamp and make a wish to pray for blessings, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. What do you think, fifth sister?"
