Chapter 733

Ying Ning smiled and said: "You are too soft-hearted, have you forgotten when she bullied you?"

"Thinking back now, although the tenth princess didn't treat me very well, she was just talking loudly and never really hurt me."

"Isn't words hurting enough?"

"What she said is indeed the truth. I also know that living in the palace is not justified, it is not a good thing." Ren Yan'er sighed, "It's just that I am really incompetent. I am like a duckweed all my life. .”

"If you want to rely on, then choose a reliable husband and marry. If you want to rely on yourself, it's not impossible."

"How can I rely on myself?" Ren Yan'er said softly, "I'm not good-looking, I don't have special talents, and I don't have strength. I'm really a waste."

"Don't say that about yourself, people with special talents are in the minority after all." Ying Ning looked at the flickering lanterns by the roadside, picked up a riddle, glanced at it, and said the answer.

The lantern seller took off the lantern with a smile and gave it to her.

Ren Yan'er was very surprised: "Don't you need to pay?"

Ying Ning smiled and said: "The small lamp market here is not a place for ordinary people to hang out. Didn't you find that the people who come and go are all the children and girls from rich families?"

Ren Yan'er listened to her finished speaking, and paid close attention to the people around her, and she really found that everyone was dressed in luxurious clothes and had an extraordinary bearing.

"Why is this?" she asked strangely.

"This East Fourth Alley is the property of Bobo Wu's family, and Marquis Wubo is Concubine Xian's natal family." Yingning explained to her carefully, "Concubine Xian's family is flourishing, with many heirs, many girls, and precious wealth. , refused to let them go to Dadeng Market, for fear of being bumped into. So they built a small lamp market in the back alley of their house, with Jiajiading at the front and back, and no one was allowed to enter. They also invited other officials, young masters and ladies to play , and gradually became a practice. The lanterns here are all made by young masters and ladies from various prefectures, and the lantern riddles are also written by them. If you can guess it correctly, you can win the prize and take away the lantern."

Ying Ning looked back and forth, and said: "You also know about the festival of Lantern Festival. It is a rare opportunity for the affectionate and righteous little man and lady of the people to meet on this day. Therefore, this small lantern market , It also means that the sons and daughters of a high-ranking family look at each other by marriage."

"I see."

Ren Yan'er sighed, "Great families and high-level people are together, and they don't bring ordinary people to play."

Ying Ning smiled and said: "We are here to play, don't be so sad. Come, guess the lantern riddles with me, and we will win all the lanterns in this street."

Ren Yan'er said with a startled laugh, "This is too greedy."

"Just have fun."

Ying Ning said with a smile, "Why don't we compare and see who wins more."

"Is there a color head?"

"Yes." Yingning turned around in front of her, "If you win, if you like the jewelry on me, take it away as you like."

"You, you really don't treat things as things." Ren Yan'er shook her head, "There are rumors in the capital that you bought a girl with 1 taels of silver. Is this true or false?"

"Fake, I was saving people." Ying Ning grabbed a lantern casually, "I'm about to start! If you lose, can you give me something good?"

"Oh, where did I get the good stuff, I have to hurry up!"

Ren Yan'er also quickly guessed the lantern riddles.

Although she herself said that she didn't have much talent, in fact, she was also a quick-witted person, otherwise she wouldn't be able to share the same interests as Ying Ning and become a confidant.
