The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 111

After Qing Anbo’s family left, Shen Qi and Luo Huaiyuan took Yan Yan and Yan Mo to go out to the Lantern Market.

The lamp market in the inner city is also very lively, and all kinds of lanterns are higher than those in the outer city in terms of workmanship and pattern. Everywhere there are silver flowers and fire trees, filled with a kind of luxury. There are people coming and going on the street, and the clothes are good. It can be seen that the status is not low, and the worst is also of official origin.

On top of a restaurant facing the street, many people sat around by a railing, arguing, chattering and laughing.

One of them looked depressed, sitting there just drinking wine, full of loneliness spontaneously.

“What’s wrong, unhappy?”

Yan Ting froze without saying a word.

The man leaned over, his body half bent. In the eyes of others, the two were talking, but when he got closer, he could tell that it was not the case.

“In order to accompany you, I didn’t even attend the lantern festival in the palace, so why bother to put on a cold face!”

Yan Ting’s expression was extremely ugly. He glanced at the other party, and said dry words: “No one wants you to come!” After a pause, he said: “Can you not show up like this? Okay, let’s just trade!”

Xu Xiangrong straightened up, with one hand behind him, reserved and noble. Hearing this, he didn’t show any disapproval, but he smiled with great demeanor.

Among the group of people over there, Liu Xi asked him to drink, and he went over there with a big smile.

Yan Ting poured a glass of wine on his own, staring at the bright moon in the sky erratic.

Many people flattered Xu Xiangrong wherever he went, and after passing by, someone diligently poured him wine. After drinking a few drinks with others, Xu Xiangrong left to sit down in a quiet place, and Liu Xi followed.

“Brother-in-law, what? That kid doesn’t know each other?”

Xu Xiangrong glanced at him and said nothing.

Liu Xi didn’t expect that Yan Ting would actually get involved with his masculine brother-in-law. It would have been too deep for him to see this man, and he put on a lofty and arrogant appearance on weekdays. In fact, It is also a perfunctory trend.

Although Liu Xi was lustful, but he had to be female. He couldn’t understand Long Yangjun’s practice, but this cheap brother-in-law was so powerful, he wouldn’t say nothing at all, and even occasionally saw whom Xu Xiangrong liked. There is no shortage of help in the back.

He smirked and explained: “I just think he doesn’t seem to give his brother-in-law a bit of face, so I want to show him something good. I really think I am the hottest son-in-law of Zhenguo!” After finishing speaking, he fell on the ground fiercely. One bite plays a very good role as a dog leg.

To say that Liu Xi is Xu Xiangrong’s brother-in-law is indeed true. If he says that he is not, it is not impossible. It was because his unbelievable sister died of illness a few years earlier, and she never left Xu Xiangrong with a son and a half. In the past ten years, the marriage relationship between Cheng En Hou and Wu Ding Hou’s family has long since disappeared.

Xu Xiangrong first married the prostitute of the Wuding Hou family when Xu Jiafu entered Beijing. At that time, the foundation of Xu Guifei was not stable, and the two princes were still young. It happened that Xu Xiangrong was about to get married, so he chose the Marquis of Wuding to get married. Liu Xi’s elder sister has been sick since she was a child, and no one has ever come to propose marriage since she was a child, because of her body troubles. Seeing someone coming to propose marriage, Wu Dinghou did not dislike the other’s background, so he married his daughter.

After Liu Xi’s sister married Xu Xiangrong, she died within a few years, and Xu Xiangrong has not been marrying these years. Everyone says that Xu Xiangrong is deeply affectionate, but in fact, only the insider understands the relationship. This Xu Xiangrong originally married Liu Xi’s sister as a guise. He was different from those who like to play with children. He was born to dislike women. There are also many concubines in the family, but they are all there to watch. Fortunately, the Xu family also has a young son, so he wouldn’t break the incense at his place.

No one thought that the Xu family, who was born as a pig slayer, could develop to the point where it is now, and could almost compete with the Prince’s family. Even the Liu family had never thought of it. The Liu family had already fallen to the last in the capital. The reason why they were still active in the capital these years was only because of the relationship with Xu Xiangrong. Among them, Liu Xi has made the most contribution, and he has been conscientiously dragging his cheap brother-in-law to a great extent over the years.

Xu Xiangrong took a sip of wine and said lightly: “Don’t interfere with me and him!”

“Since my brother-in-law said, my brother will naturally not be nosy.”

…

On the street, Luo Huaiyuan’s eyes condensed, and he raised his head to look there.

From his angle, he could just see the two people who were talking on the railing. Luo Huaiyuan’s eyesight was very good, not as short-sighted as in modern times, so he could see very clearly.

It seemed normal in the past, but from Luo Huaiyuan’s eyes at the present moment, he can see a lot of clues.

These are thanks to Luo Huaiyuan, who was a writer who was also a writer when he first met in modern times. Unlike him, that girl wrote about Danmei. The relationship between the two is too familiar, and the girl is also a man, instilling a lot of so-called “corrupt” thoughts in him.

Thinking of the gossip about Xu Xiangrong, Luo Huaiyuan suddenly felt that this incident seemed very interesting.

“What are you in a daze!”

Yan Yan had already walked forward for a while, and when someone was missing, she turned her head and saw that he was standing a few steps behind and seemed to be thinking something.

“Nothing, nothing.” He laughed and interrupted.

…

“Why did you bring me here?”

After strolling around for a while, Shen Qi led Yan Mo and ran away, while Luo Huaiyuan took Yan Yan all the way to a remote place.

Due to the inner city, the guards didn’t bring a few, and Luo Huaiyuan rushed to find Shen Qi and two others on the way, so only Yan Yan and Luo Huaiyuan were the two at this time.

The two of them walked for a while and got into a carriage again. Yan Yan asked where to go. Luo Huaiyuan only said to take her to a good place, but didn’t say where to go. I don’t know how long I walked, and came to a seemingly desolate place.

The night is as cool as water, and the moon is like a plate.

Because there is a moon in the sky, we can see the surrounding situation clearly.

Yan Yan could feel that he hadn’t left the inner city, but when did the inner city have such a desolate slope? To be honest, Yan Yan really didn’t know, but what did she come here to do? It looks so desolate!

“Why did you bring me here?”

Yan Yan asked again.

Luo Huaiyuan didn’t speak, but just pulled Yan Yan to the small slope, and when she reached the top, he took her to sit on the ground. Both of them wore thick fur capes, and sat down on the floor without any discomfort. It was just a bit weird looking at the black crows under the cold wind.

“What are you selling again?” Yan Yan asked with a frown.

He laughed, but said nothing.

Before long, he first took out a small hand stove from his arms and stuffed it into Yan Yan’s hand. Then he took out a pack of warm snacks and gave it to her as well.

Yan Yan said that he seemed to be fat again, because he had so many things in his arms!

“Are you hungry? Have a snack when you are hungry. This deep-fried Lantern Festival is delicious and still warm.”

Seeing that Yan Yan didn’t move, he took one and stuffed one into his mouth, and then another into Yan Yan’s mouth.

Yan Yan accidentally filled her mouth with him, and then slowly ate it.

It’s really delicious. Compared with the boiled Lantern Festival, it has a different flavor, especially the sesame and peanut filling inside is extremely fragrant.

Luo Huaiyuan took out a kerchief and wiped his hands, and then he took out a firecracker-like thing and a fire fold from his arms.

Huozhezi was blown on fire, and the sparks reflected on his face a little stranger.

He lit the fuse of the cannonball with the fire-folder, and saw that his hand loosened slightly, the cannonball soared into the sky, with a’swish’, flying into the night sky, and exploded a few unique sparks in the black and blue night sky. , Staying for a long time.

“Do you look good? I specially asked someone to make it. You like red and I like moiré. All of them are made like this.”

Those few fireworks were crimson, cloud-shaped, and the small ones were very bright in color, with a touch of silvery white, and they were dazzling and dazzling in the black and blue night sky. In particular, it seems to be different from ordinary fireworks, staying in the air for a long time, just like taking root in the sky.

Yan Yan looked at the night sky, unable to return to God for a long time.

“what is this?”

“This can be regarded as a cannon similar to the sky drilling monkey, but this one is specially made. This can be seen from far away when it is in the night sky, and it is also the same in the daytime. I gave it a name called Chuan Yunjian, as the saying goes, a cloud-piercing arrow will meet thousands of troops.”

Luo Huaiyuan slapped his mouth while giving a compliment to Master Xing in his heart.

“Chuanyunjian, this name is pretty good!”

“I will send you a few in a while, just as a secret signal between us. Whenever you encounter any danger alone, you will put it in the air. Then I will step on the colorful clouds to rescue you!”

Yan Yan couldn’t help but chuckled, smiling at the man in front of him who was playing with treasures.

“Also colorful clouds, what clouds can withstand you!”

“You made fun of me again!” The fat face was frustrated for a moment, and then smiled again. “Don’t worry, when the time is right, I will definitely become a handsome pot, a man with bronze skin and eight-pack abs! ”

Yan Yan couldn’t imagine what it would be like when he was that way. She nodded with a serious smile, “I remember. Don’t forget what you said today.”

It was a moment of bragging and slippery mouth, who knew it would become Luo Huaiyuan’s nightmare in the future, so I won’t mention it for the time being.

Those extremely dazzling red clouds finally slowly dissipated in the night sky…

Suddenly, only a few bangs were heard, and a large swath of colorful fireworks exploded in the night sky directly in front of the two of them.

The fireworks are so beautiful and colorful, it seems that the entire night sky is lit up.

With the sound of “bang, bang, bang”, the fireworks exploded in the air, and they opened instantly like a flower. Some of those fireworks were like fireballs, some were like silver snakes, and some were blooming like flowers. The colorful chrysanthemums are very beautiful.

Above the night sky, the fireworks had just faded away, and a large number of fireworks poured down from the sky, forming a silver and golden waterfall, which was breathtakingly spectacular. Mixed with flowers of various shapes and colors, it is as if you are in a sea of ​​flowers, and the beauty is breathtaking.

This soil **** has a special geographical location, and the surrounding area is the highest here. When the various ‘meteor showers’ are constantly underground on the sky, it seems that this place has become the only existence in the world.

Yan Yan stood up involuntarily, holding her breath and staring at the beauty, for fear that she would be shocked by all this beauty.

It’s just that when the song finally disappeared, the black and blue night sky gradually returned to silence, leaving only a few small sparks still floating in the sky.

Yan Yan just wanted to let out a regretful sigh, and then heard ‘bang, bang’ several times, and the night sky brightened again.

In the black and blue night sky, a huge silver-pink rose suddenly exploded, and there were countless various flowers on the side. Suddenly, I saw a few big characters suddenly appeared in the night sky—

Yanyan, I like you!

Yan Yan covered her mouth and couldn’t believe it.

Just as these characters were about to dissipate, another group of large characters appeared in the air—

Yun love Yan!

Yan Yan can now understand what the heart shape means, and the phrase iloveyou, which Luo Huaiyuan told her, the Westerners’ words of love represent that I love you!

This stock has started again!

…

Luo Huaiyuan smiled extremely proudly, but also a little embarrassed. He scratched the back of his neck, took a deep breath, and knelt down on one knee.

He took out a small brocade box from his arms, took out a silver ring, and held it in front of Yan Yan.

“Well, even though we were married by my father and the emperor, I still want to tell you that marrying you is a dream I’ve had for several lifetimes. Those Westerners always like to do some tricks, but they do The way of courtship makes people sigh…I hope you marry me willingly, not because of finger marriage…I know I don’t look good and I’m fat, but I’m sincere…Haha, I don’t look good enough, I I can only come together sincerely. For this day, I have been preparing for a long, long time…”

“…Western people have a custom. When a man woos a woman, he will have a ring. If the woman agrees, he will accept the ring. Ayan, will you marry me? Not because of finger marriage, but because you want to marry. Give it to me. I will treat you well, a couple of people for life…”

The moon is as cool as water, reflecting the overwhelming fireworks, just like the next meteor shower of ancient times.

Various expressions of confession are still changing in the night sky, but it is a pity that Yan Yan has no time to read it at the moment.

Her eyes were blurred, her voice choked, and her eyes were filled with only this one in front of her, just as he said, not a very good-looking man.

Well, he is not even a man, he can only be regarded as a teenager. But he always shocked or moved her in a ridiculous way, or the look of a hippie smile.

Luo Huaiyuan talked a lot, but did not get the desired response.

It shouldn’t be a rushing to be moved by a sentence you really hate, or a few soft words infinitely shy. He sighed in his heart, and found someone who was incomprehensible. It really took a lot of effort.

He raised his head and was about to put more fire, but found that the one opposite was already crying.

It’s better to lose yourself first, a woman who has never cried in her previous life, crying now, it makes him feel heartache!

“If you don’t want to listen, I won’t say it.” He hurriedly stood up, “If you don’t like this, just throw it away. Don’t cry, don’t cry!”

As he said, he raised his hand and didn’t stop at Yan Yan’s speed.

“Why did you throw it away?”

“Don’t you like it?” He said dejectedly.

“I didn’t say…”

“Does that mean you like it?” He smiled and conjured the ring out of his hand. “look-”

“You didn’t throw it away, so you dare to lie to me—”

He licked his face and smiled, his fat paw grabbed the girl’s hand, and put it on it. It was not too big or too small.

“I didn’t agree, why are you putting it on me!”

“Although you didn’t say yes, but you already agreed…”

…

The cat shivered in Xiaoanzi, not far from the hillside.

A guard whispered to the side: “Father-in-law Xiaoanzi, did you say that your Highness is finished there?”

“How do I know?” Xiao Anzi looked bitter.

It was cold and windy on this day, and His Royal Highness was paying great attention to the prince and concubine above, and their little attendants were just squatting down below.

See the fireworks in the sky dazzlingly, but they all need people to watch the signal below, and you don’t know? ! Not changed out of thin air!

I really don’t know what your Highness thinks. It depends on the fireworks being set off in the inner city at the moment, so why go to a place where birds don’t shit!

He didn’t know that there were a lot of secrets in the fireworks, but they just squatted down and clicked at the pre-arranged rhythm. They didn’t know what it was like on top of their heads.

There was a rustling sound, and a man dressed as a guard rushed over. As soon as I saw him, several people asked questions.

“How is it, how is it, is it done with your Highness?”

The man took a snot, “It doesn’t seem to be there yet. I looked from below, and His Highness seemed to be hugging the other girl.”

There was a burst of wretched laughter.

“Hey, here are two barrels of fireworks, let’s set them off again, lest we have to take them back later!”

Xiao Anzi suppressed his throat and rebuked, “Why do you still have it, didn’t you just finish it?”

“Maybe it was missed just now.”

‘Boom—Boom! ’

Over there, Luo Huaiyuan, who was enjoying Wen Yu’s embrace and even kissed Xiaozui’er, was taken aback by the sudden “-” and almost withered.

Yan Yan reacted and pushed him away.

He licked his face and smiled, rubbing against Yan Yan, his heart was beating, this group of guys who were not successful enough to fail!

…

After Luo Huaiyuan and Yan Yan returned, a group of people were discussing whether to send someone out to find them.

“A Yan, where have you been? Scared my mother! Qi Er said that he was separated from you, and I haven’t found you for a long time!”

As soon as she saw Yan Yan, Shen Yiyao hurriedly walked over.

Luo Huaiyuan: “Auntie, we didn’t go anywhere. We just watched the lanterns at the Lantern Market. Maybe Shen Qi didn’t see us. After all, there were so many people in the Lantern Market. Later, when we saw fireworks, we looked around. The fireworks came back.”

Shen Yiyao nodded, but said nothing.

The daughter has martial arts in her body, and she is with the Fourth Prince, so there is no reason to worry, but the anxious mood of being a mother is always unavoidable.

At this time, the night was already very deep, and the number of people in the restaurant was gradually reduced.

After a few conversations with Shen Yiyao and others, Luo Huaiyuan left, and Shen Qi also left.

The group took a carriage and prepared to return home.

Shen Yiyao glanced at her daughter and found that Yan Yan’s eyes were red.

“Ayan, are you crying? Why are your eyes so red?”

Yan Yan pretended to be nonchalant, “No, maybe I was dazzled when I watched the fireworks just now.”

“I will go back to the mansion later, and let Mei Xiang and the others take a veil to apply on you.”

No words for a while.

When they arrived at Weiyuanhou’s Mansion, they all dispersed.

When Yan Yan returned to Ningxiang Pavilion, several big maids gathered around. First, she took off the big clothes outside, Yan Yan sat for a while, and then went to the bedroom to take a bath and rest.

She was sitting in front of the dressing table, Mei Xiang and Mei Xue were two, one was responsible for removing it, and the other was taking the jewelry box aside. When taking the bracelet, it was inevitable to see the silver on Yan Yan’s left ring finger. A white ring with a pink jewel flower inlaid.

The two of them are in charge of Yan Yan’s jewelry on weekdays, and both of them know whether they have this ring. Mei Xiang didn’t say what it was, but after taking off the bracelet, she asked casually, “Girl, do you want to take this ring?”

Yan Yan glanced at the ring and thought of the jumbled words that the fat man said. The rough idea was that the ring couldn’t be removed after wearing it. His face flushed, and he shook his head.

Meixiang and Mei Xue looked at each other with smiles in their eyes. If it were translated in words, it would be the four princes who gave it again!

In the eyes of these maids, Yan Yan has always been a strong and invincible girl. No matter what she faces, she can stand alone in front of her and shield the people behind.

At this time, there was no such thing as a female man, but they knew that it was difficult for their girls to show their little daughter’s face, but they repeatedly broke the precepts in the face of the four princes.

It seems that after the girl gets married, she will have a good relationship with her uncle in the future!

After bathing, lying on the soft bed, Yan Yan stretched out her left hand to look at the ring above.

The light in the room is not bright, so Chuo Chuo is about to reflect on it, sprinkling mysterious and shining rays of light. It is so touching and appealing, from different angles, it can reflect the dazzling light.

The ring side of the ring is in the shape of a pink flower, surrounded by tiny but very bright stones, and in the middle is a whole pink stone inlaid with the size of a thumb carapace.

It is said that this is made of diamonds. It is not that Yan Yan has never seen diamonds. No one in Daxi used this kind of stone to make jewelry, because diamonds are not conspicuous except for their high hardness. In terms of rich color, it is not as good as red and blue gems, in terms of reserved foundation, as in all kinds of jade, and in terms of elegance, as jade, but I did not expect it to be used to make jewelry.

She naturally didn’t know how much work Luo Huaiyuan had spent on the hairpin and even this ring.

In Daxi, diamonds are not popular, but in the West, they are also used to inlay jewelry, mostly colored. It’s just that the diamonds at this time are not as dazzling as they were in the modern era, because people don’t know how to fully develop the light contained in the diamonds.

Due to the experience of the last life, Luo Huaiyuan knows that diamonds need to be cut after polishing. How to cut and what to cut. You must know that at this level, there are few objects harder than diamonds, these and so on. Such issues require constant experimentation and consideration.

Luo Huaiyuan found the best craftsman, and it took a long time before he came up with the craftsmanship of seventeen facets. These two pieces of jewellery in Yan Yan’s hands are the only ones in the world that have this kind of craft.

Of course, it may not be in the future, because Luo Huaiyuan has never lacked business acumen.

For example, the previous love card pads, such as the roses he used to coax Yan Yan’s satin. In order to develop it, he has spent a lot of thought, manpower and material resources. It was originally used to coax my daughter-in-law, but later I saw that it was really good, but for the benefit of others, I turned around and made a large number of them for sale. They sold well, and even sold well overseas, so I didn’t mention it.

Nowadays, there is no shortage of such broken stones on the western side, but the luxury accessories that let the nobles see their hearts. Luo Huaiyuan has ordered the people in Fuzhou to collect these things on a large scale, and maybe some time later, he will create a new miracle.

What is this called?

While coaxing his daughter-in-law, he made a lot of money in silence. ?

The author has something to say:

ps:

Fatty: Do you still call me wretched? Do you still call me wretched? Brother, I also know romantic

Face to face: (can’t bear to look straight at the face)

Fatty: What kind of face is your face, can’t you praise me?

Face to face: I don’t complain about anything, I only complain about my short-sighted Ayan…

Fatty: What is short-sightedness, don’t you go, tell me clearly!

Face to face: It means literally.
