Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly
Chapter 59: The Cousin of the Prince in the House Fighting Novel (37)
In front of the stall, a woman was holding a wooden sign, her face calm, and she was nodding and whispering something to a pair of twin sisters beside her. Her originally gorgeous eyebrows and eyes looked especially soft under the dim light, as if the Bodhisattva in the temple was lowering her head and preaching to the world.
Cen Ji went downstairs and entered the long street. He was discussing with a group of friends which brothel to go to tonight to kill time, but he saw a group of people gathered in the distance. Everyone standing on the periphery stretched their necks, as if there were some rare treasures inside.
"What are those people gathering together for? Is there something fun to watch?" A tall and fat young man following Cen Ji was the first to see the excitement in the distance.
"This long street looks the same every year. What new day can there be? It's nothing more than some opportunistic vendor making new lanterns to attract attention." Cen Ji didn't care. He had seen all kinds of good things. He curled his lips and said disdainfully.
"I am a little curious. The lamp you took down last year was so ingenious. People in Jiankang city have seen all kinds of new things. What on earth has aroused their curiosity? Look at those men outside, their necks are almost staring." The tall and fat young man first complimented Cen Ji, and then went on to persuade. He was the kind of person who could not move away when seeing the excitement, and now seeing that Cen Ji was unmoved, he became a little anxious.
Seeing his anxious look, Ji Cheng curled his lips in disgust and said, "Forget it, forget it. Seeing that you don't seem to have seen the world, just go up and take a look. Otherwise, you will turn around and tell everyone that you can't even have fun following me, Cen Ji." After getting permission, the tall and fat young man hurriedly thanked Cen Ji, and the group walked over there in a mighty manner.
A man who was standing on tiptoe outside and stretching his neck to look inside, wanting to catch a glimpse of the beautiful face of the young lady, suddenly felt an arm on his shoulder, and then his whole body was forcefully pushed aside. After finally standing firm, he turned around angrily and wanted to settle the score with someone.
But he saw the culprit who almost pushed him down. He was dressed in brocade, tall and fat, with a domineering look on his face. He looked like someone who was not easy to mess with. The anger in his heart instantly disappeared by half, but the man's self-esteem did not allow him to show too much cowardice, so he tried to straighten his chest and shouted fiercely: "Who are you? How can you be so unreasonable?"
“If you don’t want your eyes, I will dig them out for you right now. You dare to cross the way of our Minister Cen, Lord Cen? A beating will be the least of your punishment. Get out of the way!” The tall and fat young man clenched his fists, waved them at the man twice, and pretended to go forward and beat him.
The man was frightened by the tall and fat young man's arrogant attitude, and when he heard that the person behind him was Cen Ji, who was notorious in Jiankang, he shut up, put oil on his feet, and ran away quickly, disappearing in the crowd in an instant.
"Don't block the way in front of me. I want to see what good things are inside." Cen Ji tapped the tall and fat young man's shoulder with the folding fan in his hand and said impatiently.
The tall and fat young man, who had just faced the man with a ferocious look, quickly put on a smiling face, respectfully stepped aside and retreated behind Cen Ji. The onlookers who had just witnessed the tall and fat young man's domineering behavior also silently moved to the sides, making way for them. A group of people, led by Cen Ji, walked inside arrogantly and swaggeringly.
"This 'cold food' can be eaten dry, which is crispy and delicious. It can also be soaked in milk or cheese, which has a unique flavor."
Cen Ji noticed the beautiful woman who was nodding and whispering at a glance. The woman was wearing a high-necked white dress, had a graceful figure, and a pretty face as beautiful as a lotus. Her appearance should have been very aggressive, but she looked a little softer because of the peaceful and calm smile on her face. With her eyebrows lowered and her eyes downcast, she looked like Guanyin in a temple. The two extremely contradictory temperaments were particularly harmonious in her, which made Cen Ji, who had seen countless beauties, dazed for a moment.
The direction from which Cen Ji and his group came in happened to be behind Lin Xi and the other two, so the three of them did not notice the movement here at first. However, He Lanting, who was standing behind the three of them, instantly sensed the breath that made him feel uncomfortable. He tilted his head slightly, and his sharp eyes instantly locked onto the direction of Cen Ji and his group. He just caught a glimpse of the surprise in Cen Ji's cloudy eyes, and his heart was suddenly startled. He moved to the side unnoticed, blocking Cen Ji's sight of Lin Xi.
The three people who hadn't noticed the commotion were still talking in low voices with great interest. Lan Xue looked at Lin Xi with eyes full of admiration and worship, "Cousin, you must be the reincarnation of Wenquxingjun from heaven. You even know such obscure verses. When you mentioned this 'cold food', I wanted to go back home and ask the chef to make it to see if it is as crispy and delicious as you said, and it crumbles into pieces when you put it in your mouth."
Seeing her eyes sparkling, Lin Xi couldn't help but narrow her eyes, "This is not difficult. There is a maid in my yard who can make it. I will ask her to make it for you when I get home."
Lan Xue was naturally overjoyed. The vendor saw that more and more people were gathering around him, and he had sold a lot of lanterns. He was naturally happier for Lin Xi and the other two. He wanted to take down the last lantern, and said to them with a smile on his face, "I have never seen anyone as smart as you three young ladies. Let's just forget about this last question. Just regard it as my holiday blessing to you young ladies."
Lin Xi had no objection. The three of them had stayed in front of the stall for a long time, guessing so many riddles, and had already gained quite a bit of attention. Seeing more and more people gathering around, she was not afraid of trouble if there were too many people, but she had to consider the safety of Lan Zhi and Lan Xue. So after consulting Lan Zhi and the other two, the three of them gladly accepted the stall owner's kindness.
The stall owner then handed the three lotus lanterns that had been agreed upon to the three men. The three men thanked him and were about to turn around and leave happily when a male voice suddenly came from behind them.
"I wonder which family the young lady is from. I would like to get to know her a little bit."
Seeing that the excitement was over, the crowd who were about to leave looked in the direction of the voice and saw a handsome man in a scarlet brocade robe holding a folding fan and a faint smile on his face. He looked extremely elegant.
Lin Xi frowned when they heard the voice and turned to look in the direction of Cen Ji, but He Lanting, who had just been standing behind them, took the lead and stood in front of the three of them. The maids who were following the young ladies also reacted and stepped forward to block the young ladies behind them.
He Lanting looked worried, with a warning in his eyes, "The women in the mansion have made an appointment with friends to watch the moon tonight, so I'm afraid it's not very convenient."
