Lady Zhao

Chapter 28

At night, the night breeze is blowing, the crescent moon hangs in the west, Chang'an Street is brightly lit, like a river of stars, and the sky and the ground complement each other, creating a prosperous scene of peace and prosperity.

On the Biyi River that runs through half of the capital city, there are lanterns of different shapes floating down the river, intertwined with fine fire lights, and finally turned into sparks flickering between the water and the sky, which is really beautiful.

He Jingyuan, who had been out for more than half an hour, still couldn't help staring at the people beside him. In the light of the green gauze lantern, the scholar's hand was Bai Shengxue. Looking at his appearance, his jade cheeks were slightly thin, his eyebrows were curved and his nose was straight. There is a shallow pear dimple, and he looks like a handsome young man from a distance. He has won the favor of many girls along the way. Men come and don't lose.

Sensing the seemingly invisible sight cast from the side all the time, Zhao Wenwan couldn't ignore it, so he simply glanced back, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What can I teach you, cousin?"

Even his voice was deliberately lowered a bit, pretending to be true, He Jingyuan coughed dryly, inexplicably feeling that this cousin who is sullen and serious at the moment is very interesting. "...Ahem, it's pretty similar."

Zhao Wenwan turned her head, just in time to see his eyes fall on her chest when he said this, her face became darker immediately, she turned her head and ignored her.

"...Uh." He Jingyuan was secretly annoyed that he didn't see something well, and this made his cousin even more unhappy. The tall man stood still and scratched his head showing a bit of simplicity.

Zhao Wenwan brought Baochan with her this trip, and she was dressed like a boy, a dusty servant, looking around behind her, his face was full of excitement, in fact Zhao Wenwan was also happy in his heart, just read Seeing He Jingyuan standing aside, he still had to hold it, his eyeballs rolled around, thinking about how to drive people away to have a good time.

A colorful shed more than two feet high was set up in the entire Dongshi City, and various colored lanterns were hung on the color shed, in the shape of a jade rabbit, a lotus flower, and a carp...

Both sides of the street are also hung with red lights, and there are small stalls under each light. The stalls sell strange and weird things, everything you need to eat, use, and wear.

Zhao Wenwan couldn't bear it any longer, and pulled Baochan to look around, feeling the handmade purses at this stall, wearing the Kunlun slave mask at that stall, and pointing to the soup cakes on the roadside to ask He Jingyuan to buy them. feed her.

He Jingyuan couldn't be idle for a moment, he had to be careful to protect her from being crowded, and he had to order his attendants to buy things that his cousin liked from time to time, even if he cared so carefully, he still lost people.With just a blink of an eye, those two people were drowned in the crowd, and they couldn't be found anymore.

"Master, lotus seed paste bun." The attendant bought Zhao Wenwan's food and offered it flatteringly, and met He Jingyuan's gloomy expression.

"Miss Biao is gone, why don't you hurry up and find her!" He Jingyuan said with a sullen face, unavoidably irritable, and when he was about to leave, he ordered again, "Don't be too public."

Different from He Jingyuan's anxious temper, Zhao Wenwan, who finally got rid of He Jingyuan's 'care', was like a runaway wild horse galloping freely in his heart, very happy.

Zhao Wenwan held the hot beef in his hand and bought it from Liu's shop on the opposite corner. He dug a hole in the wall and built a stove one person high. There were straws burning under the stove. The packaged fires were pasted on the top of the stove one by one with bare hands. Zhao Wenwan was amazed to see it and bought one to try.

Red candied gourds inserted on straw handles, some with brown sugar and some wrapped with sesame seeds, marijuana flowers wrapped in honey, fried cakes, and hot millet rice cakes sold on iron stands And white rice cakes, duck heads and duck necks brought out in pots, and the earthen stove for roasting sweet potatoes.

While walking and eating, Zhao Wenwan stood on the bustling street of Chang'an overlapping with the bustling night market in his memory for a moment.

"Little... young master be careful!" Baochan's exclamation was close to her ears, and the old shelves reflected in her pupils were spreading out and flipping towards Zhao Wenwan. As soon as it was tight, someone pulled it hard, and then hit a thick chest, blinked blankly, looked at the dilapidated shelf kicked aside by the man, and the familiar side face of the owner of the chest.

Zhao Wenwan was stunned for a moment, then wrestled out of the man's arms, lowered her head deliberately, thanked her, and dragged Bao Chan into the crowd.

Gu Jingxing's open fingers seemed to be a little unaccustomed to the soft passing away, he grasped it in vain, and put it in his sleeve, the indifferent expression on his extremely handsome face was a little chapped, which couldn't be seen clearly in the flickering lights, After a long while, he seemed to be talking to himself, "Hmph, did you really not recognize me?"

"Look at which girl is so engrossed. Here, your fire, don't you not like street food?" Feng Yuxiu held a greased paper bag, and threw it to a certain uncle as he thought it was hot, while following along. Looking in the direction he was looking at just now.

Gu Jingxing held the fire to burn, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and said a few words, "I want you to take care of it."

"..." Feng Yuxiu choked up, feeling that it was time to end his friendship.

Zhao Wenwan, who had been walking around for a long time, felt a little tired, so he took a rest in the pavilion beside the Biyi River. There was a shallow pool of clear water between the pavilions, and a five-six-step-long path was paved with bluestone slabs more than two feet wide. The short bridge, the sound of water floating, across the beautiful flowers and green trees, looking across the water, it is as light as smoke, which is refreshing.

However, such a beautiful feeling only lasted for a while before it was broken by a vulgar voice, "Little lady, you are screaming, even if you scream, no one will come to save you, oh ha ha ha..."

"..." Zhao Wenwan, who was not far away, was attracted by this vulgar plot, followed the voice, and sure enough, several servants surrounded a thin woman carrying a burden, blocking the corner, a woman with a fat head and a waist. With round arms and thick shoulders, he looked at the well-dressed dude young master being hugged by two servants, slobbering at the white-clothed woman in the corner, with a squinting look on his face.

Under the moonlight, the girl's pretty face was pale at the moment, her arms were tightly protecting her, and she was weeping. "No, don't come here..."

"Be obedient to our young master Chen, and you will be the thirteenth concubine of our Chen family." One of the dog legs said arrogantly.

Zhao Wenwan could guess the direction of the matter with her eyes closed. Being disturbed by others, she naturally didn't want to stay any longer, but she didn't expect to be hit by a white figure just after taking a few steps. It's so good that there is a head-on confrontation.

"..." The "claws" holding her sleeves kept trembling, and even Zhao Wenwan's eyelids trembled a little. Are you kidding me? Putting on airs, she looked so detached at the moment that no one could see the roar in her heart at the moment.

"Boy, who are you? Get out if you are sensible, or don't blame us for being rude!" Another dog leg squinted at Zhao Wenwan's body, sneered, and said sarcastically.

Zhao Wenwan wanted to leave, but the girl grabbed her as firmly as an octopus, staring at her with tears in her eyes, but she couldn't do anything to shake her off, her forehead twitched twice, so she had to follow Baochan Said, "Go and find Master Biao."

Bao Chan was already frightened when those servants rushed up, but now she had to order by the young lady, and she was used to every command and every movement, but she ran back without losing the chain, and no one cared about it.

"There are not many people in this huge imperial city who dare to tell me to leave. Chen Mansion, which Chen Mansion?" Since Zhao Wenwan decided to stay, he naturally didn't plan to get along with him, and when his aura opened up, he delayed the time.

The latter was startled by her sudden and fierce aura, and subconsciously took a step back, then felt ashamed again, stood still, and stared at the person in surprise.

"The beauty is obedient, come home with me." The bully of the Chen family only stared at the woman in white, raised his eyelids to the one next to her, and frowned, "What's so good about following that skinny monkey!"

"..." Skinny Monkey Zhao Wenwan glared at him, but he was also defenseless right now, so he had to endure it, squinting his eyes and waiting for He Jingyuan to arrive, and started to beat him up.

After struggling for half a day, He Jingyuan finally arrived before the little overlord lost his patience. Because of the previous search for people, he sent a lot of nurses out, and now they all stood behind Zhao Wenwan. Zhao Wenwan straightened his back, squinted his eyes and smiled Have bad intentions.

"Who told me to get out just now?"

When the latter saw this, he immediately understood that this person was of great status and had an official logo on him, so he was definitely not someone they could afford to provoke.The little bully still misses the beauty and has no eyesight, but the one behind him tightly stops him, begging Zhao Wenwan for mercy.

Zhao Wenwan has a good temper, so she immediately said, "Success, if you want to leave, just roll away." After that, the guards standing behind her stepped forward one after another, making those who didn't want to roll into balls, especially It was the little overlord who was still clamoring a little dirty, so He Jingyuan rolled it into a fat ball and kicked it down the bluestone slab with his own hands.

That sound of ouch, it hurts a lot to hear, Zhao Wenwan smiled with crooked eyebrows, feeling quite refreshed.Seeing this scene, the girl who had been shivering beside her stood with downcast eyes, but the hem of the clothes she was holding was even tighter.

Because of helping herself out of trouble, Zhao Wenwan rarely gave He Jingyuan a good look, and was about to go back home together when she realized that something was missing. Just remembered the root of the trouble.

"Thank you benefactor for saving your life!" The woman's voice was clear and beautiful, soft but not flattering, which was quite nice. "My little girl went to Beijing to join her relatives. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing. If there is no benefactor..."

Zhao Wenwan was aroused by the faint sobbing, and called Baochan over, and was about to take out some silver taels for her to settle on her own, when suddenly there was an extra weight on her body, if it wasn't for He Jingyuan's help, Zhao Wenwan would Almost missed the unconscious woman.

"..." Zhao Wenwan's forehead twitched, feeling that something was wrong.

"You can't just leave him here, let's take him back to the mansion and see the doctor." He Jingyuan looked at this scene, sighed again about his cousin's luck, and said with a hint of a smile.

Zhao Wenwan stared at him speechlessly, knowing that this person's upright personality would not be left alone, Baochan helped him get him into the carriage and sent him back to Dingguo Mansion.

The scene of a hero saving the beauty ended, Feng Yuxiu stood not far from there, stared at the last person who got into the carriage for a long time, rubbed his chin and said, "Why do I feel that person looks familiar?"

Gu Jingxing, who was hiding in the dark, looked at the tall man walking on the horse, squinted his eyes, and didn't say a word.

"Hey, let me tell you, what on earth are you doing here today, are you sneaking away from me?" Feng Yuxiu walked around with this man for most of the night, always feeling that this man was a little weird.

Gu Jingxing watched the carriage turn into a black spot and disappear into the night, and looked away, his heart was inexplicably thumped. He also felt that there was something wrong with himself tonight, so he ran this way like a demon, thinking of the owner of the carriage, he couldn't help but change His eyes were dimmed.
