The lights were shining brightly, Cheng Yujin looked at the person in front of him, wondering whether it was God's will or man-made.
Lin Qingyuan actually saw Cheng Yujin across the distance. She was wearing a white cloak and stood in front of a lamp booth looking at the lamp. Although it was only the back, she couldn't see her face clearly, but she looked familiar. Lin Qingyuan somehow thought that it was Cheng Yujin.
Lin Qingyuan shouted tentatively, today is the Shangyuan Festival, the fish and dragons are mixed, and the people are constantly flowing, he is not sure whether Cheng Yujin would like to see him on this occasion. Unexpectedly, Cheng Yujin actually turned around.
Lin Qingyuan immediately got excited, pushed aside the crowd and squeezed to Cheng Yujin's side, and said with a smile, "I wasn't sure just now, but I didn't expect it to be Miss Cheng."
Cheng Yujin didn't laugh or move, she just stood there quietly, watching Lin Qingyuan struggling across a street and squeezed in front of her. It wasn't until the end that Cheng Yujin smiled slightly and said, "I see the lights here are interesting, so I came over to have a look. There were too many people just now, I didn't see Lin Bianxiu, please forgive Lin Bianxiu."
Lin Qingyuan quickly waved his hand when he heard it: "It's normal for you not to see me. There are so many people on the street, how can you see them all. Miss Cheng, you are too polite, there is no use between you and me."
Cheng Yujin finally relaxed a little after hearing this sentence, which had been suppressed all night. The string in her heart was relaxed, and her demeanor also brought out a lightness. When others saw this change, they were also inexplicably happy.
Lin Qingyuan has always been informal. He doesn't have many relatives in the capital. He came out to see the lights just to join in the fun. Now that he met Cheng Yujin, he thought that it was rare to meet an acquaintance, so why not go to see the lights together. Lin Qingyuan thought so, and said it: "Miss Cheng, do you have any plans for the next? I see that there are lantern riddles in front of me, why don't we go and have a look?"
Du Ruo and Forsythia's expressions changed slightly when they heard Lin Qingyuan's words. There are many powerful people in the capital, and there are many rules. It is very rash for a man to say such a thing.
Cheng Yujin didn't care much. If another man said this, it would undoubtedly be offensive, but Lin Qingyuan was not from the capital, and it was normal for him to be unfamiliar with the etiquette of the capital. Besides, Lin Qingyuan was originally a generous and eclectic temperament, Cheng Yujin smiled and didn't care about these Xu's outliers: "Okay, it's edited by Laurin."
Lin Qingyuan was overjoyed to hear that, and volunteered to lead the way. Cheng Yujin turned back and looked back. The Princess Qingfu and Mrs. Zhai were standing together. They didn't know what to say. The expression of the Princess Qingfu gradually became cold. with a smile on his face.
It was of course impossible for Cheng Yujin to hear what they said at such a distance, but looking at Qingfu's expression, she was surprised and displeased, but she didn't wave her sleeves in anger. It could be seen that although what Mrs. Zhai said made her unhappy, she didn't. Step on the bottom line. In other words, it is unlikely to be a divorce.
Even if the county owner of Qingfu has no relationship with Cheng Yujin, she is a nominal mother after all. If she broke off the marriage in front of her again and again, the county owner of Qingfu must have erupted long ago. How could she stand on the street and listen Mrs. Zhai Er spoke.
It's not a divorce, could it be a condition of the wedding or dowry? Zhai Yanlin is continuing the marriage, fills the house according to the etiquette and holds the concubine in front of the original spouse. In all aspects, it must not surpass the original spouse, and most of the dowry specifications are lower than the original spouse. Perhaps the Huo family took this rule into consideration and came over to discuss the terms with the Houfu of Yichun.
Cheng Yujin couldn't tell how she felt. She stared at the lights in front of her for a while, and laughed at herself. When did she become like this, she actually relied on others.
No one in the world is more concerned about these things than herself. Although Cheng Yuanjing said he wanted to help, he was busy with his affairs and could take care of everything. In the end, this is up to you.
It's better to ask the Buddha and others than to ask yourself. It was clearly something she understood when she was seven years old, so why is she still confused now
Lin Qingyuan walked for a while, but didn't respond to talking to the people behind him. When he turned around, he saw that Cheng Yujin was still standing there, staring intently at a lantern. Lin Qingyuan was puzzled, so he had to turn back again: "Miss Cheng, what's the matter?"
Cheng Yujin recovered from her thoughts, realized that she had released Lin Qingyuan's pigeon, lowered her head and coughed, and said, "It's okay, I saw this lantern Qi Qiao, and unknowingly fell into a trance, and didn't keep up with Lin Bianxiu."
When Lin Qingyuan heard that it was because of the lantern, he immediately waved his hand: "It's okay, Miss Cheng doesn't need to apologize to me. I brought Miss Cheng to play, not to make her apologize. As long as she is happy, it's fine. ."
Cheng Yujin's heart was ironed when she heard such words, Lin Qingyuan was a very upright and honest person, he had Xu Zhixian's pure heart, and he was more assertive and talented than Xu Zhixian. Such a person, if you marry him, will surely live a very comfortable life in the future.
Cheng Yujin lowered her eyes to hide her thoughts and said, "Xie Lin edited and repaired."
Lin Qingyuan saw Cheng Yujin parked in front of a lamp, and really thought she was looking at the lamp just now, so he said, "If the eldest girl likes lights, there are many novel lamps in front of you, the eldest girl might as well come and take a look."
"Okay." Cheng Yujin nodded. There were people coming and going on the street, Cheng Yujin looked back and saw that the Qingfu County Master was still talking attentively, not paying attention to the surroundings. Just then, a carriage passed by in the middle of the road, and when the carriage squeezed crookedly past, Cheng Yujin also disappeared from the position just now.
Her figure disappeared suddenly, Zhai Yanlin frowned, and immediately took a few steps forward. However, the whole city was dispatched during the Shangyuan Festival, and there were too many people on the street. Zhai Yanlin looked around for a long time, but could not find Cheng Yujin's figure.
Zhai Yanlin's brows were furrowed. Today was a mixed bag, and Cheng Yujin only had two maids by his side, and it was too dangerous to be separated from everyone. He originally wanted to rush in the direction of Cheng Yujin's disappearance immediately, but after taking two steps, he remembered what happened some time ago.
He used to get together with his colleagues and friends, but he was stopped by an unfamiliar face when he went out to sober up alone. Zhai Yanlin was well-informed and recognized the eunuch as soon as he heard the other party's voice. There is only one place in the world where there is a eunuch, Zhai Yanlin's drink was half-stunned, but the father-in-law didn't laugh. After saying some ambiguous words, he told him meaningfully that he should not change his mind, and he was a little lucky. Can't stand it.
Zhai Yanlin's wine was completely sober.
Zhai Yanlin stood in the cold wind for a long time, his face turned from red to pale. He repeatedly recalled the eunuch's words, and he should not change his mind. During this time, he was not out of the ordinary. The only difference was that he was planning to renew his marriage.
Zhai Yanlin thought it was unbelievable, Cheng Yujin was actually attracted by the palace
how can that be
Zhai Yanlin didn't even bother to drink, so he went to the wine table to say something, and he went back to the house by himself. After returning home, Zhai Yanlin's face was extremely ugly. He pondered for a long time, and finally communicated with Mrs. Zhai and told his mother to put the Cheng family's marriage on hold for the time being.
When Mrs. Zhai heard that it was the eunuch who came to remind Zhai Yanlin, she was so frightened that her soul flew halfway. But they didn't dare to offend the Cheng family when they quit their relatives.
There is still a prince in the palace who has not yet married a concubine, so Madam Zhai is so bold that she does not dare to rob someone from the royal family.
It happened that we had an appointment to meet on the New Year's Day. Originally, the two parents wanted to create opportunities for the newcomers to get acquainted with one or two. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was Zhai Yanlin's own selfishness. However, now being warned by the palace, Cai Guogong's mansion did not dare to have any thoughts. Mrs. Zhai was too old to be in the street and crowded with people, so she asked Mrs. Zhai to go out and speak clearly to the Cheng family in a good voice.
Anyway, there was no formal engagement, but the elders on both sides exchanged messages in private. As long as the Cheng family didn't talk about it, or the Zhai family didn't talk about it, no one would know about it. It's good for Miss Cheng's reputation, and it's good for the Zhai family's future.
Mrs. Zhai Er went out with a bitter face. In this case, Zhai Yanlin was obviously not suitable for seeing Cheng Yujin. But in the end, he was unwilling. He was adorned with Mrs. Zhai's carriage from a distance, and watched Cheng Yujin get off the carriage across the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
She dressed up meticulously today. Although she was dressed in plain clothes because of her filial piety, she stood under the lights in a pure white cloak.
Zhai Yanlin watched from a distance, as if from a lifetime. The hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched into fists, and his heart was full of unwillingness, surprise, indignation, and so on.
Before at Xiangji Temple, Cheng Yujin severely hit his self-esteem. This was the first time someone dared to talk to him like this since Zhai Yanlin was so old. All the women held him to make offerings to her, but Cheng Yujin alone was worthless.
Zhai Yanlin was aroused by his fierceness, and he wanted to take this woman as his own. How can there be so much truth in the world, can Cheng Yujin not marry if he doesn't want it
That's too small to look down on them Cai Guogong's mansion.
Zhai Yanlin flaunted his selfishness and forcibly broke the window paper. He was very proud of the spring breeze during this time, and he kept thinking, when Cheng Yujin knew that everything was a foregone conclusion, what would he look like? When she marries into Cai Guogong's mansion and becomes his wife, will she be soft-hearted to beg him
Zhai Yanlin's blood boiled just thinking about it. The meeting on the Spring Festival was also specially arranged by Zhai Yanlin. He wanted to see what Cheng Yujin's expression would look like when he faced him.
However, the eunuch of Huangmen poured a basin of ice water on Zhai Yanlin's head mercilessly. Obviously he arranged the meeting, but in the end he didn't dare to show up, like a humble and ridiculous mouse, only daring to hide in the crowd to peek at the Cheng family's situation.
Everything is as Zhai Yanlin imagined, Cheng Yujin is dazzling and dazzling, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off. It's just that Zhai Yanlin didn't expect that he didn't even have the qualifications to see Cheng Yujin.
Zhai Yanlin watched Cheng Yujin take her maid to look at the lights. She paused for a long time in front of a small stall without buying anything. Many people on the road were looking at her, but Cheng Yujin didn't notice it at all. In the end, a man squeezed beside her in surprise. The two said something, and Cheng Yujin disappeared.
It's not hard for Zhai Yanlin to guess, I'm afraid it was this man who led Cheng Yujin to see the lights.
He was angry, resentful, and mixed with jealousy that he did not dare to show. However, in the end, Zhai Yanlin could only forcefully break the light pole in his hand, and turned away in anger.
When the Tathagata comes, no one knows, no one cares.
Mrs. Zhai Er didn't know that her eldest brother was watching not far away just now. Zhai Yanlin was uncomfortable, and Mrs. Zhai was not feeling well at the moment.
It was Cai Guogong's mansion who first proposed marriage, but it took a long time for them to say that it was all a misunderstanding. There were a lot of adults in the Yichun Hou mansion, and it was assumed that nothing happened.
There are so many goddamn adults, how could the Lord of Qingfu suffer such an insult
Mrs. Zhai's mouth was bitter, but she didn't dare to offend the Cheng family, so she could only keep soft and say good things. The county master of Qingfu was also bewildered by the Zhai family, and said that they wanted to break off the marriage, but the Zhai family was very polite, and even said that it was flattering; It seems that there will be a disaster if it is too late.
what is happening
The princess of Qingfu and Mrs. Zhai were arguing with each other, but they didn't pay attention, and Cheng Yujin disappeared.
Cheng Yujin followed Lin Qingyuan to guess lantern riddles. After all, Lin Qingyuan was from a scholarly family and came from a top scholar. He was very good at citing scriptures along the way. Cheng Yujin listened and slowly relaxed, showing a real smile.
There are a lot of people in front of a lantern booth. The lights of this booth are big and beautiful. Obviously, the cost is very high. There is also a line hanging in the front, which is covered with lanterns, but each lamp has a riddle. Lights away. The stall owner will not lose money in such a big battle. Every lantern riddle is very difficult. If you can't guess it, you can go directly to the stall to buy a lamp.
Cheng Yujin was amazed at the management wisdom of the people. She originally wanted to be out of sight and out of mind and stay away from the people in Qingfu, but now she is also interested in seeing many lantern riddles and carefully studied them one by one.
While watching, she communicated with Lin Qingyuan, and the two talked happily. Cheng Yujin became more and more relaxed, Lin Qingyuan told an allusion, she was amused with a puff, and the corners of her eyes were full of smiles.
Standing in a secluded place, Liu Yi felt that the wind was getting colder tonight. He rubbed his arms silently, and in the eyes of everyone asking for help, he took a step forward and asked carefully: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is still waiting there, look..."
Cheng Yuanjing stood with his hands behind his back, across a river, silently watching the scene on the other side.
A large shed was built on the other side of the river, and now many people are surrounded by people guessing lantern riddles. Liu Yizhen couldn't wait to bite his tongue off, when everything was fine, why did he have to be mean and pointed at the lantern to let His Royal Highness watch the fun.
It's okay now, he's going to be lively. Liu Yi always felt that his head would not be safe. Today, on Lantern Festival, the emperor had fun with the people and personally climbed the lantern tower to inspire people's hearts. Of course, the so-called having fun with the people is only one of the reasons. The bigger root is that the emperor wanted to take advantage of the crowds of people today and quietly see Cheng Yuanjing.
Cheng Yuanjing and Liu Yi were on their way to see Shengshang. Unfortunately, I happened to see some things that I shouldn't see, and these troubles were pointed out by Liu Yi.
Liu Yihui's bowels are broken, and the sky can learn from it. He really just wanted to please his master at the beginning, and the common people live and work in peace and contentment. Isn't it a good way for the master to govern the country. Who knew that the eldest girl of the Cheng family was also guessing lantern riddles under the light shed.
Cheng Yuanjing watched for a while, stabilized his emotions, and decided to finish meeting the emperor first, and then settle the matter of Cheng Yujin. He turned around with no expression on his face, but his whole body was frighteningly cold. Liu Yi and the others were relieved at first, and then they raised their hearts even higher. They all lowered their heads, pretending to be dumb and deaf, and silently followed behind their master.
They walked nervously for a while, when suddenly they heard a commotion behind them. Liu Yi didn't take it to heart. With so many people on the festival, accidents happen every year. But the noise grew louder and louder, and gradually became a panic.
Cheng Yuanjing turned back and found that the place where the sound was made was in the direction of Cheng Yujin just now. His face sank, and he rushed back immediately.
