please lie down

Chapter 82
Qu Baosheng concealed her from the beginning, but it was actually a means to create momentum for Miss Cang Jia, Miss Cang Jia, the fourth housekeeper of the Cang family, and to make the ghosts appear more mysterious. His means must be because he knew too well the temper of the head of Cang Yuan. Knowing that telling Cang Yuanshou directly that she is a ghost, Cang Yuanshou would definitely dismiss her, that's why he made such a decision to let Cang Yuanshou find out by himself.

She knew of Qu Baosheng's tricks, and she also accepted the benefits that were beneficial to her. If she said that she was cheated at this time, it would be a bit hypocritical. "The water is so clear that there are no fish. The only plan is now. It's useless to think about it. It can only be taken one step at a time."

Chu Jiu said open-minded, but Chang Qizuo looked at her in surprise. "Take one step at a time, you really think about it."

"What can you say if you can think about it but can't think about it, Chu Jiu can only do this, can't you?" Chu Jiu said in a low voice, she didn't mean to be depressed when she said this, she was just talking about the facts.

Eleven snuggled up to Chu Jiu, refusing to separate the slightest bit, between the two of them, the hostility was obvious, making Chang Qizuo a little helpless, every time he saw fireworks blooming in the sky, he pointed at the distance and treated the two sisters Looking up, he smiled and looked sideways at Chu Jiu.

There are many lantern festivals in Dadu, unlike in Nanzhou, there are only one for Chinese New Year, one for Shangyuan, and one for Qixi Festival.There is often no need for too many reasons for the lantern festival here, and it may even be just because of the birthday of a certain lady.

There are a lot of flowers on both sides of the street, not to mention the eleventh day, even the ninth day of the new year. You can see freshness everywhere. Pass the bridge, watch the lanterns swaying, and the lotus lanterns in the river are huddled together, scrambling to run forward along the water. Step by step, if the lotus lantern in the river is overturned, they will be coquettish or disappointed, with different coquettish attitudes.

When there are high-ranking officials going out, the gongs and drums that open the way have long been covered by the noisy drums of lion dances, storytellers, opera singers, and jugglers. Holding a branch in his hand, he galloped on the battlefield like those generals, laughing and making noise.

"Ouch." The naughty child bumped into Chu Jiu's back, Chu Jiu quickly supported Eleven to prevent her from falling, then turned to look at the child, and saw that the child raised his neck timidly and looked at him, Chu Jiu smiled, she wasn't annoyed at all, so she patted the child's head to signal him to continue playing.

"You're too careless." Chang Qijiu grabbed the boy, reached out his hand and found a money bag from his sleeve, raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Jiu. When I saw it, I couldn't help giggling.

Although Chu Jiu didn't show his face, there was a smile in his eyes, "Chu Jiu didn't have much money on him, and there were only some scattered copper coins in his purse, so he didn't pay much attention to it."

How could she not feel it, she could even feel the thief's rushing pulse, let alone being dragged away by someone.

Seeing Chu Jiu smile, Chang Qizuo's eyes flickered, and he let go of his heavy hand, allowing the thief to escape, then threw the purse back to Chu Jiu, and said with a smile: "You It’s easy to see.”

Chu Jiu handed the purse to Eleven, then turned around and smiled at Chang Qizhuo, saying, "It's not half as good as Brother Taiwan."

While talking, the three of them continued to walk forward through the bustling crowd. Although Eleven squeezed between the two vigilantly, the child's heart made her look around at the lanterns. Nanzhou Lantern Festival If she was compared with the majority of them, she would be surprised if she didn't know how far she was left behind, but it's not surprising.

Looking at the small vendors passing by, on the ninth day of the ninth day, I saw other children running around with small lanterns on the eleventh day, so I knew she liked it, so I bought a white rabbit lantern for her.

The whole body of the rabbit is white, but its eyes are red, and the tassels underneath are also red, and it looks very cute when it is held on a lotus seat.

Chu Jiu saw that Eleven couldn't put it down while touching the lantern, so he smiled, touched the top of her head, and continued to lead her forward.

Chang Qizhuo saw someone walking forward, so he stopped one person and asked a question, then turned around and said to Chu Jiu with a smile: "There are people in front of the Crane Tower using hydrangea balls to choose a marriage, I don't know how many people have joined in the fun, left and right We don't have any place to go, so we can just go and see the excitement."

"You mean throwing a hydrangea ball?" Chu Jiu turned to look at him. Would it be the same as what she knew, standing on a high platform and leaving the marriage to God to decide?

"That's right, it's just throwing a hydrangea. The saying of throwing a hydrangea is also interesting. It is said that hundreds of years ago, there was a princess who looked like a fairy, but she was lively and liked to run around. As a result, she fell in love with a poor boy when she was out of the palace. , this made her father anxious."

Speaking of this, Chang Qizuo knocked his fan on his palm, and then continued: "This dignified princess, how can she marry a poor boy who is not successful and famous, but the princess is forcing her to die. Bad idea, to choose a husband for the princess by throwing a hydrangea ball, the result is to drive out the poor, leaving only the nobles who have been screened. After learning about it, many kind people helped, and in the end the princess successfully threw the hydrangea to the poor boy, and then followed the poor boy into the carriage."

Chang Qizuo said it lightly, obviously he didn't take this so-called feeling seriously, maybe the common people didn't know it, but he knew it, it was just that the princess was living outside, was sold into a brothel, broke her body, and fled back to the palace after all the hardships However, they are shamed by the royal family, good things do not go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. The princess is a golden branch and jade leaf, and no family is willing to marry.

It's just that he won't tell Chu Jiu about this matter.

Chu Jiu nodded, expressing some interest in this hydrangea ball, "The princess and that poor boy are destined to marry each other, so using the method of throwing the hydrangea ball to make the two of them justifiable is not a bad idea. Others are different. Once this hydrangea is thrown away, I don’t know which one it promises to.”

The ancients were relatively conservative, even if their lives were not good, they might not be able to return to their natal family. Although they heard about reconciliations, they were still in the minority. remarried.

"I didn't expect so many people to join in the fun. The carriages and horses were all crowded together. I really don't know how they will get there."

Chang Qizuo looked around, then turned his head and said to Chu Jiu, Chu Jiu also stood on tiptoe to take a look, although he didn't look carefully, he could see that what Chang Qizuo said was true, he wanted to get over this, but he was afraid It takes some effort.

"It's really troublesome... By the way, we can go around by the small path over there. The path is remote and tight, and there are no lights. It must be quiet at this time. Let's go around a little farther, and it happens to be able to go around to the back door of Zhuhe Tower Go." As Chu Jiu said, she pointed.
