The heroine Jiangshan

Chapter 65 Lantern Festival ([-])

"Do you want to visit the Lantern Festival?"

Yun Ruochen did not expect Gu Che to make such a suggestion.

Well, a normal educated son of an aristocratic family would never speak to a girl like this.Don't talk about family members, even ordinary wealthy families pay attention to whether a man and a woman can accept each other, right?

But Gu Che is Gu Che, he is indeed abnormal... Uh, this is not derogatory.

Yun Ruochen looked into Gu Che's bright eyes, which clearly said "Go, go, let's play together", and couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

What a big boy!

She frowned deliberately indifferently. "Young Master Gu, this is not proper manners. If you want to go to the Lantern Market, just tell Mr. Gu Ge, Mr. Ge is reasonable, and he will naturally arrange for someone to accompany you." Even the address was changed.

Gu Che was a little disappointed, shrugged and said, "I know. But I want to go out with you. I think it would be more interesting to go shopping with you."

"..."

If Gu Che's eyes were not too clear and innocent, she would have wanted to ask back: "Master, are you picking on me?"

These are Chi Guoguo's dating lines, but thinking that a 12-year-old boy said it to an [-]-year-old girl, Yun Ruochen can only condemn himself for being impure.

She knew that Gu Che's straight head that went straight to the end must not have thought too much, but she really couldn't agree to him.

Even though... she also really wants to go out for a walk... alas...

It is estimated that Prince Jing would not agree to her going out at night, who made her too young?Without the company of mother and concubine, there is no human rights.

Seeing Yun Ruochen directly shaking his head and rejecting it, Gu Che was very disappointed.

"I heard that there will be many opera troupes performing a hundred operas on Yujie!"

"I'm not interested in juggling." The little Princess' voice was as cold as the air.

"I also heard that there will be many Aoshan lanterns, hundreds of flower lanterns, revolving horse lanterns, and guessing lantern riddles to release water lanterns. Many people will join in the fun!"

"...I don't like to join in the fun." The voice seemed to soften a little.

Gu Che continued his efforts: "There is also Youlong! There are all kinds of small stalls selling masks, lanterns, clay dolls and other small things..."

"I do not need."

Yun Ruochen decided not to pay any attention to Gu Che who reminded her of MLM personnel, and turned around to leave.

Gu Che became anxious, and stopped in front of her in two steps, saying, "There are still many, many delicious foods!"

Ok?
Yun Ruochen stopped in his tracks.

"People said that from Yujie to Jinshuihe, there are food stalls all the way, such as sesame glutinous rice balls, scallion oil cakes, plum blossom siu mai, roast pork, cold sliced ​​sheep tail, stir-fried sheep tripe, pig enema, large and small sausages, Loin with oil, lamb intestines, pork loin, yellow cat ears, crispy dumplings, goose chicken with roasted bamboo shoots, marinated goose chicken, stewed fish, steamed and fried fish with willows, stewed quail, stewed quail, chicken soup, Rice rotten soup, eight-treasure soup, mutton and pork buns, jujube paste rolls, paste oil steamed cakes, milk cakes, milk skin, braised sheep's head, pickled pig's trotters, ears and tongues, goose gizzards... everything!"

what?

Yun Ruochen stared at Gu Che happily reporting the names of countless delicacies in one breath, but he didn't froze at all. There was only one thought in his mind——

Brother, you are actually a cross talk actor, right?

If Mr. Zhou sees this scene, he might be so angry that he can't bear it...

Gu Che, who hasn't been able to recite half of the "Three Character Classic" for several months, actually knows the names of these snacks so well, it's really... outrageous... crazy!

Yun Ruochen finally understood why she had a natural feeling of closeness to Gu Che, it turned out that it was because both of them were out-and-out foodies!

"...Want to eat?"

Looking back at this, Che sensitively captured Yun Ruochen's hesitation, and was greatly impressed.

In fact, he heard all these things to play and eat from that guy Shitou.He had long made up his mind to go out to have fun during the Lantern Festival, but it was indeed a temporary idea to ask Yun Ruochen to go with him.

"Let's go eat together. OK?"

At this moment, to Yun Ruochen, Gu Che's voice is like the poisonous snake in the Garden of Eden, the devil who tempted Faust, the mermaid singing at night on the sea, it's so sinful...

Can't stand it!
I really want to eat what to do!
"Oh, it seems that there are creamy nest rolls, candied chestnuts, spicy live rabbit..."

"Shut up!"

Yun Ruochen finally broke down, growled and glared at Gu Che angrily.

Gu Che was startled by her murderous stare, and said anxiously, "Uh, you really...don't want to eat? Don't you want to eat at all?"

"I..." Yun Ruochen took a deep breath, then said "wait for me to think about it", and fled away!
O heaven, O earth!
Even if it is the enemy's serial vicious tricks, or the sudden change of the palace, she can face it bravely.

But in front of Gu Che's food temptation attack, she couldn't calm down anymore.

Fortunately, she still had a sliver of reason in her heart, thinking that no matter what, she couldn't go out on the street with a guy like Gu Che who was easy to cause trouble at first sight, so she suppressed her urge to eat and ran away.

It was so great that she couldn't help but praise her strong will again.

It's just that when going home for lunch, Yun Ruochen ate up all the four dishes and one soup from the kitchen.

Lianzhi and Yinqiao smiled, happy that the princess had regained her appetite.After returning from the palace, the princess was weak all day long and had no interest in eating, so it would be good to go out and come back.

"what?"

While drinking hot tea to digest food after the meal, Yun Ruochen touched his bulging belly, only to realize that he hadn't eaten so deliciously for a long time.

Moreover, this was the first time in many days that she completely put aside those annoying political affairs and emotional thoughts, and really enjoyed a good meal.

From this perspective, Gu Che can be regarded as a healing boy.

When chatting with him, Yun Ruochen felt very relaxed and natural.This kind of mood probably only occurs when getting along with Gu Che, right?
"Well, maybe... you can really consider this guy's suggestion..."

Going to the Lantern Festival Lantern Market?
So tempting.
-
Although there was a big fire in the capital on New Year's Eve, it had little impact on the lives of ordinary people.Although the emperor ordered a [-]-day curfew to search for the remnants of the Tianming sect in the city, the market is still relatively calm.

Of course, there will be absolutely no discussion in private, and rumors of various versions are rampant.Some people even vividly described the strange scene that he saw the Destiny Cultists vomit the real fire of samadhi, but after the officers of Wucheng Bingma Division stepped up their search and arrest, the common people dared not talk about these things.What if he was caught as a remnant of the Destiny Sect?
For the common people, they don't care about the rebels, besides the Tianming Sect, there is Prince Shu, the county prince, and the Marquis, they don't care about them.What the people in the capital are more concerned about is—is the Lantern Festival still open?
Especially those craftsmen who tied up the lanterns early, the street vendors who were waiting for a small fortune on the Lantern Festival night, and the lively children, all were looking forward to the palace's decree to lift the curfew.

On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the news that the Lantern Festival will be held as usual spread from Shuntianfu Yamen all the way to the four city gates, and there were cheers everywhere.The masses can't be unhappy. After working hard all year round, is it easy to look forward to such a little entertainment program?

So everyone praised the emperor's brilliance and sympathy, and once again launched a verbal crusade against the bad guys who tried to rebel.

"Master, that's great! The Lantern Festival is about to open!"

Shi Shi ran all the way into Gu Che's yard, but was almost hit in the head by a bamboo dart thrown by Gu Che, and was so frightened that he crouched on the ground.

"My lord, my lord, we can go play now... Are you unhappy?"

"Do I look happy?"

Gu Che was sitting in front of the stone table in the yard. On the table was a large handful of homemade bamboo darts, which he was throwing one by one onto the grass target in boredom.

Stone was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask again.The young master obviously wants to go to the Lantern Market very much, why is he still so depressed when he hears the news of the reopening of the Lantern Market?

"She said she would think about it... I wonder if she has thought about it?"

After throwing the last bamboo dart, Gu Che clapped the dust on his hands with satisfaction.All the bamboo darts are stuck on the straw man's head, it seems that the dart skills that my father taught me have not been lost...

"Stone, come with me!"

Uh?
Shi Shi followed Gu Che out of the door in a daze, and followed Gu Che around the city for a long time, finally stopping in front of a wealthy mansion.

"Prince Jing's Mansion?"

What did the young master come to Prince Jing's mansion for?You don't want to come to find that little princess, do you?
Ah, but that seems impolite!

Gu's family is well educated - except for Gu Che - everyone is well-educated and reasonable, even the servants are much more sensible than outsiders.Shi Shi just wanted to persuade Gu Che not to act recklessly, but his young master said "wait for me here" and disappeared.

yeah?
Young master, seeing that it is getting dark, why are you going? ——
At this time, Yun Ruochen was also listening to Yinqiao's talk about the Lantern Festival, and he answered casually, with a weary face.

Suddenly, there was a strange noise in the yard.The little maids Wan Xiang and Sweeping Snow hurriedly ran out to look at it, and after a while Wan Xiang came back and said: "Princess, the bird's nest fell from the tree."

"Really?" Yun Ruochen nodded, then suddenly frowned and asked, "There's no wind, how could the bird's nest fall down for no reason?"

Wan Xiang asked again in a hurry.After a while, Sweeping Snow came in with two fallen chicks and a ball of cloth marbles, and said, "My lord, probably a child hit the tree in our yard with a slingshot." , knocked down the bird's nest."

"Our inner courtyard is also far away from the street... Whose child has such strong hands?"

Yun Ruochen always felt that something was wrong, so he casually took the marble to look at it.

The marbles were mottled, as if something had been painted on them.Yun Ruochen's heart moved, and he took the cloth strip apart, only to see a very clumsy picture drawn on it——

A bowl of steaming food, it looks like... er, glutinous rice balls?
At the bottom right of the cloth strip, there is a word written crookedly.

"Gu".
