Ji Huai first stopped in front of the chestnut stall. Zhao Qingyue took the first bag of chestnuts, turned around first, and walked back to Du Xiang: "My cousin, try it too."
Du Xiang looked at the chestnuts she handed over, and then looked at Ji Huai not far away. He was also holding a bag of chestnuts in his hand. His eyes fell on Zhao Qingyue, his eyebrows were soft, and he didn't know if it was because he was satisfied with her behavior.
"Thank you, cousin." She could only say thank you, and she had to swallow her displeasure.
She felt that the other party was simply using her to invite favors, so that both her cousin and grandmother would admire her. Now her cousin must think that she is dignified and virtuous.
"If there are any delicious things you want to play with, you can buy more and go back. If you go to the shop later, we will go shopping." Zhao Qingyue also told her, and then told Xiaoxiang and a few followers to keep an eye on her.
Xiaoxiang looked at the lively lantern market and was dazzled. She kept chattering, but Du Xiang never showed joy and his eyes fell on the two people in front of him.
There were many people gathered around small crowds on the street, some were performing on stilts, and some were performing face-changing. The lanterns above their heads were as bright as day. Zhao Qingyue was also attracted, her steps became brisk, and she kept looking around. Suddenly, she stretched out a hand. Come to her.
The man's well-jointed fingers held a peeled chestnut. She looked up at him and saw him looking straight ahead, as if nothing had happened, as if it was a casual act, but the flickering eyes betrayed him. .
"Thank you, sir." She stretched out her hand to take it, and her cool fingertips still touched his hand. He instinctively shrank back, but seemed to have stopped abruptly. She looked in her eyes and said to him again: "The river lanterns are very beautiful. How about buying a few of them?"
"Yes." Ji Huai frowned and walked forward first, with his hands behind his hands, and Zhao Qingyue quickly followed.
River lanterns can be placed beside the bridge. When they went there, there were already many people gathered around, and there were river lanterns floating in the river one after another, swimming slowly down the river.
Zhao Qingyue brought over the lit river lantern, and Du Xiang was also beside her. She moved gently, and when she put the river lantern in, she made a wish: "I hope my grandma will live a long life, and that my cousin will have a smooth official career and be promoted step by step." , Cousin sister-in-law..." She paused as she spoke, looked at Zhao Qingyue, arched her eyebrows, and looked sincere, "I hope my cousin-in-law will get what she wants, and everything she wishes will come true."
"What is my wish?" Zhao Qingyue put the river lantern aside, glanced at Ji Huai, and smiled more pleasantly than her, "Then I wish the Marquis and I will have a young prince soon, and the family can be more lively."
Du Xiang's smile froze slightly, his eyebrows lowered and he didn't answer.
"Master Hou, what is your wish?" Zhao Qingyue asked Ji Huai.
"The wish won't work if you say it." As soon as Ji Huai let go, the river lantern swayed downwards along the current. He glanced at it several times.
"I just said it." Zhao Qingyue's pupils shrank, she quickly clasped her hands and closed her eyes to make a wish in front of her river lantern that had not drifted far away.
Ji Huai stood up and looked at the corner of her mouth.
"Okay." Zhao Qingyue opened her eyes, quite satisfied.
"How many wishes have you made after so long?" Ji Huai stretched out his hand in front of her.
"Three." She held his hand and stood up.
Ji Huai raised his eyebrows.
Zhao Qingyue: "Why didn't you ask me what my three wishes were?"
"The wish won't work if you say it." He led her towards the bridge.
"I can tell you quietly."
Ji Huai pondered for a moment and said casually: "Could it be that all three of them have the same wish?"
"Why is my husband so smart?" She was still surprised and looked at him with bright eyes.
“…”
Give birth to a young prince, then another, then another, exactly three.
The vixen and the scholar gave birth to three little foxes.
The images in Ji Huai's mind kept going, and he walked a little faster. After walking onto the bridge, he led her forward and ignored the people behind him.
Du Xiang was pulled up by Xiaoxiang. He frowned as he watched the two people walking away, and quickened his pace. In the end, he almost didn't trip.
"Girl, there is still an entourage following us, so there is no need to worry." Xiaoxiang added, "Let the Marquis and Madam go somewhere to play. We can play leisurely by ourselves. It is also very interesting."
Being together is less free.
As soon as she finished speaking, Du Xiang glanced at her. His eyes were not as docile as before. They were displeased, complaining and a little angry. Xiaoxiang immediately lowered his head and shut his mouth.
Du Xiang quickly withdrew his eyes, pretending to be at a loss and said: "This is my first time out of the house. I can't leave a bad impression on my cousin because of my playfulness. There are so many people here, so I'd better keep up quickly to avoid causing trouble." Come and cause trouble.”
"Yes." Xiaoxiang also quickened her pace, feeling very puzzled. The security in the capital was very good, and the Marquis allowed his entourage to follow them to another place to play. What was Miss Du afraid of? Madam seems to be easy to get along with, and she is not such a fussy person.
She was just a cheap maid, she didn't dare to say much and could only follow Du Xiang in a polite manner.
Zhao Qingyue walked for a long time, then she remembered Du Xiang behind her and said to Ji Huai beside her: "You are walking so fast, my cousin will be left behind."
Ji Huai held her hand and continued walking forward without slowing down.
She turned to look at his side face, and seeing that he didn't speak, she took his hand and pulled it intentionally. Ji Huai also looked back at her, with a smile in his eyes and asked her, "Are you really going to wait for her?"
For some reason, when she met his eyes, she felt inexplicably guilty, as if he had seen through her own little thoughts, and for a moment, she forgot to reply.
The smile on Ji Huai's lips did not disappear, and he pulled her forward again.
"It's your cousin anyway. If you don't care, why should I rush to be a good person?" Zhao Qingyue excused herself.
He answered: "I arranged an entourage for her, just because I don't want to disturb our purity. The little girl likes to play, which is naturally different from us. What are we doing together?"
"What's the difference? I'm a little girl too." She joked and grabbed the conversation.
"You are shameless." He said to her with a smile, "You have been married to me for two years, and you still say such things. You can only say these words in front of me. What will others think?"
Zhao Qingyue's face was full of smiles. She seemed to have thought of something in her eyes. She glanced behind her from the corner of her eye and asked him to walk forward very fast. Ji Huai didn't ask any questions and just matched her pace.
Qiulan was also a discerning person. She slowly put her foot down and pretended to be attracted by the juggler. When Du Xiang and others arrived, she also looked panicked: "Madam and the Marquis disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"Which direction are you going?" Du Xiang asked repeatedly, looking around anxiously.
"I don't know either. I can't see anymore. What should I do?" Qiulan's eyes were red and she kept blaming herself. "What should I do? My wife and the Marquis have gone missing. How can I find them?"
Du Xiang didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, so he hurriedly walked forward for a long distance, but there were more and more people in front of him, walking slowly, and there were people everywhere. She looked around and couldn't find them at all.
Qiulan watched her actions, then moved forward and pointed casually: "Why am I looking in which direction? Let's go and take a look. The Marquis and his wife will be looking for us soon."
Her young lady had a restless temper when she was not in the house. They often sneaked out of the house to play. Later, her young lady and the Marquis fell in love and had a private meeting. This cousin followed her.
Du Xiang didn't think at all and walked quickly in the direction she pointed. Qiulan suppressed her laughter and followed quickly.
at the same time.
Zhao Qingyue has already pulled Ji Huai to another alley. There are fewer people here and the ears are clear.
She stopped to catch her breath, met his eyes, and found that he was looking at her with a smile. She said gracefully: "The lanterns should be enjoyed carefully, slowly with the one you love, a group of people Then, it kind of affects the mood." After saying that, she added, "Mr. sir, don't you think so?"
Ji Huai nodded sincerely: "Yes."
The smile in her eyes deepened, but she didn't want to be ruined by Du Xiang, so she added: "There is a shop nearby. The jewelry there is exquisite and small. Do you want to go and take a look at it for me?"
"Where to go?" He took the initiative to hold her hand again and looked at several roads.
She pointed to one.
Ji Huai held her hand and walked over to the other side and entered the small shop. Du Xiang and others were still searching for the two of them on the street. Xiaoxiang followed behind, and her confusion deepened. On the contrary, it was Qiulan, Only his face showed anxiety, but his steps were slow.
