Lord, don't be afraid, the princess is not angry

Chapter 126
After Zhuhua talked to her that day, Xu Qingqing also inquired about Bohar in private.This is a person who can bend, stretch and have ambition, she thought to herself, as for whether it is a good match, who can know?I can only depend on my own life.Her mother's life is not good. She was born in a scholarly family and had childhood sweethearts. She was captured by mountain bandits during the war and became Mrs. Yazhai. She was rejected after a few years and was thrown in a place that was not peaceful. The town is doomed.And on the way to her father, she also saw many wives and children separated. At that time, she thought, what would happen to her if she couldn't see her father?

After all, she went to her father and lived with her father and stepmother and stepsister.This kind of life is not worse than before, but it can't make her feel stable, and even makes her feel sad. She has thought more than once, if she didn't come at that time, how would she live, maybe she would marry into a farmer's family In his life, he may be reduced to prostitution and go through hardships.In this comparison, perhaps her life as the concubine of the Hou Mansion is still good, and when she gets married and has no relationship with the Hou Mansion, maybe it will be better.

It's a pity that her marriage is not as she thought, since she heard that Mrs. Hou is going to marry her to someone else's concubine, she doesn't care about anything.She knew in her heart that she could only accept it submissively and would not resist, so she simply let them arrange it. She just wanted to grasp some tangible things that would make her feel the joy of living in her life of not being free.

People come and go on the streets during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is much more lively than on the day of Qixi Festival.After they had a meal, they went to the Lantern Festival to watch the lanterns. This time, all the merchants put their own lanterns in front of the shops. It is said that after the Lantern Festival, which shop made the best lanterns will be judged to win a certain prize.They looked at each family, and they would stop at the stalls that guessed lantern riddles.

Fang Jiulang was so talented that guessing a lantern riddle was a piece of cake. After a short stroll, he won several lanterns, most of which were given to Zhuhua.

"You have a lot of younger brothers in your family, take a few more." Fang Jiulang said in a low voice.

Zhuhua nodded gratefully and thanked, which made Jiang Sanniang next to her jealous.

"I think the palace lantern with the picture of Chang'e flying to the moon in front of me looks good. I wonder if Mr. Fang can win it?" Jiang Sanniang asked coquettishly.

Fang Jiulang also thought the lamp was good, so he went to the stall to guess the riddle, and he got it right, no accident.When the shopkeeper handed over the lantern, Jiang Sanniang took it and smiled at Fang Jiulang.

"Thank you."

The lantern was already in her hands, Fang Jiulang naturally couldn't ask for it back, frowning slightly, he turned his head and glanced at Zhuhua.

Zhuhua quickly said: "I already have three lamps, that's enough."

"That's for your brother." Fang Jiulang said stubbornly, after looking at the various animal-shaped lanterns in Zhuhua's hand, he decided to win another palace lantern.

Zhuhua followed behind him helplessly, and Yu Shizi beside him was also a little helpless.Sure enough, he shouldn't find someone who is too eye-catching to be a foil. Originally, when the three ladies came, only Ms. Jiang was dressed up to attend. Is there no one around the county king?Is this because the three ladies are unwilling to get married?He thought that at least Xu Hou's eldest daughter was willing, but because of the burden of the family, others said that Xu's daughter was not well-bred, so he had no idea of ​​matching her with the King of Xihai.After all, if she married in the future, she would be the concubine of the county to help the king manage one side, and she would also have to guard the court against the disobedience of the king of Xihai County.He knew from his father that Zhuhua was smart, but unfortunately she didn't seem to want to marry far away.

Now the two ladies who came to see each other have left with Fang Jiulang who accompanied him. Even if Yu Shizi didn't like Xu Qingqing, he had to let her show her face.Xu Qingqing was more intelligent than he thought, and without waiting for him to say anything, she said in a timely manner: "I heard that this year's Lantern Festival, in addition to guessing lantern riddles to win lanterns, there are also those who won lanterns by fighting with their wrists. I just don't know where this stall is located?"

"Really?" Yu Shizi responded, and said to Bohar with a smile: "If that's the case, I'll have to see Your Highness show his skills."

"It's easy to say. I don't understand this lantern riddle in the Central Plains, so I won't participate in it. I can try this martial arts competition."

While speaking, Yu Shizi's long follower had already found out where the arena was located, and when he got there, it wasn't a martial arts competition, it was just an arm wrestling.Every lamp in the arena is elaborately and gorgeously made, and each time the host will pick out a lamp, if someone likes it, they can go on stage, and the person who wins after several people compare with each other will win that lamp.

It would have been nice if Jinhua was here, Zhuhua secretly regretted it, and glanced contemptuously at the surrounding men, just like them, Jinhua could take it in a second.

"That marquee is so beautiful." Jiang Sanniang pointed to a marquee in the center with a painting of beauties fluttering butterflies, and turned her head to look expectantly at Bohar.

Why is there you everywhere, Zhuhua frowned slightly, looked at Xu Qingqing, and asked loudly on purpose: "Which one do you think is better, sister Xu?"

"Of course it's the one from Tiger Roaring Forest." Xu Qingqing looked at the lantern on the stage and said.

"Where?" How could there be a lantern with a picture of a tiger on the Mid-Autumn Festival? It sounds unlucky, and probably no one wants it.

Looking along Xu Qingqing's hand, Zhuhua really saw such a lantern in the corner.The lantern is well made, and the picture of the tiger on it is also drawn vividly. I think Jinhua will like it after seeing it.

"It's interesting." She echoed.

As soon as the conversation ended, Jiang Sanniang chuckled, Zhuhua didn't bother to pay attention.It just so happened that at this time the marquee lantern with the painting of beautiful women fluttering butterflies was taken out as a prize, and the shopkeeper on the stage invited those who were interested to go up. Unexpectedly, there were quite a few people who liked that lantern.Jiang Sanniang looked at Bohar expectantly, and Bohar came to the stage with the corner of his mouth raised.Jiang Sanniang clapped her hands happily and did not forget to give Zhuhua and Xu Qingqing a sideways glance. Zhuhua and Xu Qingqing looked at each other helplessly.

Xu Qingqing stood under the stage with neither sadness nor joy, watching Bohar easily defeat the strong man on stage, and finally won the lamp.With a proud face, he got off the stage holding the lamp, and after Yu Shizi waited for the congratulations, he walked towards the three young ladies.Even though she felt that this matter should have nothing to do with her, Zhuhua still became nervous for no reason, and silently glanced at Xu Qingqing. If the lamp was given to someone else, she would help Xu Qingqing find another home. There are no other men!

Jiang Sanniang's face was full of joy, she had long forgotten the things she had shown her goodwill with Fang Jiulang before, and when she thought of someone spending all her time trying to please her, she was secretly proud, and even thought that if the king of Xihai County was so knowledgeable, it would not be wrong to marry him no.

"Take it, this lamp is more suitable for you."

Bohar passed the lamp over, and Xu Qingqing who was standing in front was slightly taken aback.As a woman, she naturally wouldn't like the lantern with the tiger painted on it, but she was afraid that the king of the county would not be in the mood to say that just now, and she didn't mean to please him, but felt that it was too embarrassing for him to come out like this and not be taken seriously That's all.

"Thank you." She took the lamp, gave a salute, raised her head and smiled at him.

Quiet girl like Shu!A sentence from the Book of Songs that he read recently flashed through Bohar's mind.Among the three ladies, he originally wanted to choose Zhuhua, but this girl seemed to be interested in each other with another young master, and he didn't know if Yu Shizi came here specifically to hint at something, so he canceled his choice of her. Instead, he wanted to pick the beautiful Jiang Sanniang.

After only getting along for a while, he realized that this woman was just good-looking, and her temper was too strong, and her temperament was not good.He still wants to choose a gentle and reserved woman from the Central Plains as the princess of the county. In the future, he will marry many tribes around him.Only then did he notice Xu Qingqing who had been silent all this time.He knew Xu Qingqing, he saw Cheng's carriage outside the teahouse that day, and wanted to go up to Miss Cheng San to take the opportunity to get to know him, but unfortunately he couldn't find the opportunity, but he remembered Xu Qingqing who Miss Cheng San had been praising all the time .

He had inquired about Xu Qingqing, and knew that she was also the prostitute of the Hou family, and her marriage had not been smooth, so he felt sorry for her. As for those rumors, Bohar didn't take them to heart at all.No matter where you go, mothers who are not your own are black-hearted.He didn't want to marry her just because of this, now that Huguohou's Mansion is in a weak position, it is not a good marriage partner, in comparison, Dingguohou's Mansion's family situation is slightly better.The only Marquis of Anguo who is highly regarded by the emperor among the three Marquis's mansions has no daughter, so he can only choose from the remaining two.But later he secretly inquired that Dingguohou's mansion had offended Mrs. Wu Yinggong, and it would be difficult to get ahead again, which made him hesitate again.

Of course, there are still some families with good families in Beijing, but the only candidates handed over by Yuhou are these few, and Miss Cheng San was added on purpose by him. Judging from this situation, the emperor does not want him to marry a family If someone is too strong, he can only choose Xu Qingqing.

Although Miss Cheng San praised Xu Qingqing's outstanding appearance that day, Bohar thought she was beautiful, but she was not outstanding among all the beauties.It was the smile she showed when she thanked him just now, which made his eyes shine. Her smile was as crystal clear as the morning dew, which made him want to be careful.

Yu Shizi watched from the sidelines, feeling secretly that the Huguo Hou had some kind of luck, that the daughter who could not get married in the family could become the princess of the county.Zhuhua also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, as long as she has long eyes, Jiang Sanniang and Xu Qingqing will definitely choose Xu Qingqing.When Jiang Sanniang saw that Bohar actually gave the lamp to Xu Qingqing, she secretly hated and wanted to say something to vent her anger.

"Miss San, the lamp over there is not bad, why don't you ask Xiaosheng to win one for you?" Xie Erlang immediately stood in front of her and said.

Jiang Sanniang nodded awkwardly, but took a look at Xie Erlang, thinking to herself, the Yiyang princess's mansion is not bad, Xie Erlang looks passable, but it's a pity that he is a few years younger.Xie Zhenyan smiled at her younger brother with satisfaction, and seeing Jiang Sanniang's eyes from the corner of her eye, she sneered in her heart, this daughter of Dingguohou's mansion is getting worse and worse.
