Chapter 25 Flowing Water But Heartless
On this night, Yunshang hurriedly changed into a men's suit with Xiangxiang and waited for Lou Yunyu at the gate of Qingfu Garden. Less than half a column of incense, I saw Yun Yu and his book boy Yamo swaying from the direction of the main courtyard. Yun Shang saw Yun Yu in a moon-white gown from afar, with a folding fan in his hand, which seemed to be unable to open. There was a smile on the corners of his mouth, as if a smile. Yun Shang praised it lowly and thought to himself, this man His appearance in his early twenties has become so handsome. If in another ten years, his masculinity will be even more popular in the whole capital.
In this distracted scene of Yunshang, Yun Yu has come to them with Ya Mo. Looking at her ignorant appearance, Yun Yu knocked on her with a fan, "Whose prince is this missing? The soul is gone. Yo, why do I think of changing into a man's clothing today? I almost can't recognize you.
Yunshang blushed and thought to herself, isn't it you who was thinking about just now? After all, it's a little late. It's convenient to change into men's clothes and go out. Yun Yu praised her for her meticulousness.
Yun Yu picked her up casually, as if holding a little sister. Yun Shang's heart trembled again. If one day Yun Yu knew his identity and real age, I don't know if the little girl he was always holding in his hand was seven or eight years older than himself. Would her face change with fear?
When she thought so, she couldn't help laughing.
Yun Yu looked down at her and said, "It's either giggling or in a daze. I really don't know what you're thinking about."
Before Yunshang could speak, Xiangxiang jumped out from the side, "Fourth young master, you don't know that the young lady is very playful. She can run out today, so she is happy in her heart."
"Really?" Yun Yu's eyes were shining, and some of them were skeptical. Yunshang smiled and acquiesced. In fact, this excuse was not bad.
On the street, the lanterns hung high, and the walls of stone bricks were reflected a little red. In the middle of summer, there were groups of mosquitoes and flies around lanterns that exuded light and warmth. Xiangxiang's eyes were not enough at all. For a while, she turned around the stall, and then ran to the hawker over there and picked them up casually. Looking back and forth at some things, I can't put them down.
Yunshang followed her back and forth on the stall, and she didn't think it was fragrant and jumping around. After all, this girl hasn't come out to the street well over the years. She should always come out and walk around so often to be like what a girl at this age should do. As she walked, she said something casually to Yun Yu. She looked sideways and saw that Ya Mo was also the same as Xiangxiang's mold, constantly surprising.
Yun Yu walked and seemed to ask casually, "Yunshang, what do you think of Lu Jin?"
Yunshang was looking at the small horse lantern hanging on the stall and casually replied, "Qian Qian, gentle as jade."
Yun Yu was stunned, laughed, opened the folding fan with a bang and said, "No wonder people say that a fair lady is good. Sure enough, to be worthy of a man as an upright lady like my sister, he must be a modest gentleman like jade.
Yunshang thought about it. The walking lantern in his hand shook. He looked up and asked, "Fourth brother, aren't you kidding me?"
Yun Yu squint at her, "What kind of person is your fourth brother? Don't you know? Although I like to joke, I will never play such boring jokes with my own people. After saying that, he also spoiled the white evening jade between the temples of Fu Yunshang.
Yunshang was so shocked that she was excited all over and took a step back. The horse lantern followed her movements. She looked carefully at Yun Yu's expression. It really didn't seem to be a joke. Yunshang couldn't remember any good way to push this matter for a moment. Lu Jin and Yun Yu were good friends and helped themselves. Moreover, Lu Jin is indeed worthy of her identity as the daughter of the prime minister, not only from her family background, but also from her character.
"Miss! Why are you still in a daze! Look, someone in front of you is guessing the riddle!" Xiangxiang squeezed out of the crowd in front of her and hurriedly waved to Yunshang. Yamo also waved to them next to her. Yunshang smiled and said, "What's the hurry? The guesser can't run away. It's coming!" After saying that, he grabbed Yunyu's arm without thinking about it. "Let's go, fourth brother, let's go and have a look."
Yun Yu moved his eyebrows and probably understood Yunshang's mind. I can't help sighing. It seems to be another love affair. Yun Yu also knows that this kind of thing should always be sweet and happy.
The two walked out of the crowd, and Xiangxiang dragged Yunshang into the crowd little by little. They saw a stage-like platform in front of them. There were people holding a string of shiny things and constantly waving. Their mouths were spits splashing around, saying that the sky was falling. They all talked about what year this string of things flowed. The folk treasures handed down have never been able to solve them.
Yunshang and Yun Yu listened, and both of them couldn't help laughing.
Someone next to him heard it. He turned his head and saw that these two young people were both talented people. They looked at what they were wearing and behaved like ordinary people. They casually said, "Two young people, don't underestimate what's on this table."
Yun Yu saw that the man's beard was already white and hurriedly bowed. Dare to ask my father-in-law, is there anything mysterious about this thing?
The old man probably didn't expect that a figure like the prince could talk to him so politely. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "This thing is actually called Jiuzi Chain. It is an object left by the ancients. The nine rings of this thing are interlocked and tightly bite each other. It is a chain that no one can untie. What's more strange is that this thing was also obtained by a dignitary. He once tried to split it with a knife and axe, but the knife and axe were broken, and it could not be hurt at all.
Another person nodded and echoed, "What my father-in-law said is true. I have also heard the old man say that this thing is not afraid of fire, water, or sharp blades. It's very strange."
Hearing this, Yun Shang became interested. He looked up on tiptoe and said, "Fourth brother, can you see it? What the hell is that?"
When they were talking here, they heard the people on the table pointing to a tray on the side and saying, "Today, let's have some fun and give everyone some lottery. Who wants to come up and try to open this Jiuzi chain? You need to hand in ten coppers. Time is a ray of incense. If you lose, I'm sorry, you These ten pieces of copper have to belong to us.
Someone under the stage shouted, "If it is opened, what should I say!"
The people on the stage were happy as soon as they heard it. "If you open it, how many coppers in this plate will belong to you, and let us old and young men see it."
Yun Yu saw Yunshang's interest and said, "Well, do you want to try it?"
Yunshang shook his head and said, "Let's not go. Let's have a look." Yunyu nodded and agreed with Yunshang.
Many people in the front row rushed to put copper in the tray in front of them. They smiled at the little boss who was running around the world with joy. They recorded them one by one and let these people wait in line. A ray of incense was lit in the incense burner over there. The fragrance was very fine, not as thick as the incense usually used at home.
Yunshang looked at the previous few people who went up and returned in no effort. He saw many people seeing more and more copper in the tray. He couldn't help itching. He also ran over and threw money inside. He shrugged his shoulders and pulled Yunyu's sleeve. "Fourth brother, let's go to the front first. It's not too late to come back later."
Xiangxiang was reluctant to leave, and her eyes were about to fall out. "I really don't know who can open this strange thing."
Several people turned around again and sat down on a stall selling noodle tea. Yunshang and Xiangxiang were like food in Qingfu Garden. They were hungry in the middle of the night. Yun Yu asked for four bowls of noodle tea with blue and red rose silk on it, which smelled a faint fragrance. Xiangxiang picked it up and drank it, and almost burned his tongue off. It made Yamo and Yunshang laugh.
Not far from them is a restaurant. Because today is the day of the night market, there are still a lot of guests in the restaurant, and one of the guests next to the window is looking downstairs.
There are three guests at this table, one of whom is slightly older, and the other two are younger.
The most eye-catching is the young man sitting in the middle. But his pair of narrow eyes were like phoenix eyes, shining with fine light, and the tight corners of his mouth made the man look a little gloomy and frightening.
Sitting opposite him was a man dressed as a Confucian, with a thick and sincere look, which was Lu Jin. The other person, the older man, has a beard on his lips, but he is neatly trimmed. There is a light of wisdom in his eyes, but he is a proud disciple of Gu Zitao, a bachelor of Lin Yuan.
Originally, this person was talking about something, but they soon noticed that the attention of the quiet man with phoenix eyes was not in their conversation, but looked at a place downstairs. They also looked down and saw four people sitting on a stall on the corner of the street, one of them People are exactly what they know.
Huang Baiju said softly, "I don't know when Brother Yunyu made such a free and easy friend. If there is a chance, I must let him introduce him." Lu Jin said "huh" in a low voice and looked at Huang Baiju, "Brother Huang, don't you think the man sitting opposite Yun Yu seems to have a kind face?"
Huang Baiju looked down again and was surprised, "Isn't this... Brother Lou's little sister?"
Lu Jin nodded, "Yes, it's Yunshang."
As they were talking, they saw that the people put down the bowl, settled the bill, and turned back the same way. Somehow, the two little guys at the beginning were still looking forward to it. Lu Jin is not a lively person, but Huang Baiju is very curious. "Look at them, have you found any interesting places? Second... Second son, shall we follow and have a look?
The taciturn young man opposite nodded, casually threw a piece of silver on the table, walked out and said, "On the way, there was a balcony with someone holding a pair of nine-son rings?"
Lu Jin recalled, "Yes, someone is indeed holding a pair of nine-son serials."
Huang Baiju said disapprovingly, "Every year at the temple fair, people take it out of the market, which is nothing more than cheating the money in the pockets of the people." After he finished speaking, he saw the second son's expression. His heart moved and he asked, "Second son, shall we go and try our luck?"
