The princess ran away again

Wulin City is not far from the imperial capital of the Jin Kingdom.

Starting from March [-]th, for seven days in a row, the long street is full of small sheds built of bamboo, with countless lanterns hanging above them. At night, the lights are brilliant, and the stars are shining brightly, reflecting each other with the bright moon in the sky. .

Chu Zhao and Ning Yuyao disguised themselves as handsome son-in-law brothers, with folding fans in their hands with golden silk strokes, as graceful as jade.

They were born in the Northland, so naturally they don't know the local conditions and customs here. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help feeling a little doubtful in their hearts.Ning Yuyao's eyes were full of novelty as she watched the well-dressed girls passing by on the street. She tugged on Chu Zhao's sleeve, and whispered, "March has already passed, I don't know why it's so lively here." After a pause, he said again, "It's a bit like the Huashan Festival in Huai'an City."

"Maybe it's a local custom." Chu Zhao replied in a low voice.

Small vendors yelled loudly on both sides of the street, and colorful lights of various shapes attracted people's attention.But the people passing by all held a flower-shaped lamp in their hands, and finally let it fly in the lake.Ning Yuyao was even more curious. She dragged Chu Zhao through the crowd, bought a lantern from a vendor, and asked, "Why is it so lively here?"

"You people from other places?" The hawker glanced at Ning Yuyao and said with a smile, "It's normal for people from other places not to know. This is an old custom in our martial arts. These days, girls who are in deep boudoir will come to the street. If it's good, you will be spotted by a girl who is as beautiful as a fairy, and it will make a good story. Two young masters, I think you are all good-looking talents. You can go to the Lianhu Lake in front. Most of the ladies gather there. Where's the lamp?"

"Thank you." Ning Yuyao smiled slightly, paid for the lotus lantern, pulled Chu Zhao out of the crowd, and said curiously, "Let's go and have a look."

"What's there to see?" As soon as he heard that Ning Yuyao was going to go, Chu Zhao felt a little bit of a taste in his heart.Could it be that looking at yourself is not enough?What's so interesting about the excitement in the powder pile?If someone really took a fancy to them, wouldn't it be troublesome?After waving his hands again and again, Chu Zhao responded, "No, no, I won't."

Ning Yuyao snorted, immediately shook off Chu Zhao's hand, and said, "If you don't go, I'll go and see by myself."

How could Chu Zhao let Ning Yuyao leave her side?He hurriedly grabbed the hand that broke away from him, and sighed helplessly: "I'll go, I'll just go."

Lianhu Lake is the most famous place in Wulin City, and you can know the way to go after a little inquiry.Compared to Ning Yuyao's enthusiasm, Chu Zhao obviously couldn't arouse the slightest interest, but he still walked at Ning Yuyao's pace, for fear that he would be a step slower and be thrown away by her again.

Suddenly, there was a long hiss of a steed, and a carriage rushed out of the already crowded street. Pedestrians ran around in a panic, but those bamboo sheds and lanterns were knocked to pieces.The voices of the peddlers swearing and cursing sounded, and a tall horse rushed out from behind, and a young man in a wedding dress sat on it.

"Eh? Isn't this the young master of the Zhang family in the east of the city? I heard that they got married tonight, why did they come out?"

"Maybe something happened at the wedding? I don't know, let's go and watch the excitement."

"It's really sad. A lot of colored lights on the street have been destroyed."

Listening to the pedestrian's discussion, Ning Yuyao immediately gave up her original idea of ​​going to Lianhu.Her ears trembled, and she stared at Chu Zhao with full expectation.

Chu Zhao secretly sighed in his heart, he had nothing to do with Ning Yuyao, and smiled gently: "I see, let's go to the east of the city to have a look."

This family is the richest man in Wulin City, the young son is handsome and handsome.The person he married was a girl from the Zhou family's pawn shop, so he was well-matched.Before getting married, there are still people who envy and say that they are a pair of golden boy and jade girl, and they are a perfect match.But I didn't expect that on the night of getting married, some troubles would happen.The girl from the Zhou family ran away with an unknown boy, leaving behind the groom and a group of relatives.

"The carriage just now was the bride and the others? And the groom rode out of the city to catch up?" Xiang Ren asked, and the two finally understood the reason.

"That's right." An old man who was watching the fun sighed, twisting his beard, "I heard that the lady of the Zhou family didn't think about food and drink, and was fascinated by an outsider. Sure enough, this happened at the wedding ceremony." matter."

Chu Zhao snorted and asked, "The young lady of the Zhou family is unwilling, why does the Zhou family want to marry her to the young master of the Zhang family?"

The old man glanced at Chu Zhao, and sighed: "It's the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. How can the eldest lady of the Zhou family marry a boy with no status from outside!"

"That's it, what a pitiful person." Chu Zhao was a little moved. Not everyone in the world has the luck of himself and Ning Yuyao.

Because of the bride's escape, the Zhang family and the Zhou family were in chaos.The son of the Zhang family went after him personally, and the handymen were not idle, shouting around with torches.If such a big matter spreads out, the face of the two families will be completely lost, and they can only find him back.

Watching this excitement was very boring, Ning Yuyao's face was gloomy, and she wished she could go to the Zhou family to discuss whether it was the family status or the daughter's happiness that was more important.Just as the two of them were leaving, they suddenly caught a glimpse of two people dressed as maids, holding bundles in their hands and sneaking into the chaotic crowd.

"Look there!" Chu Zhao whispered in Ning Yuyao's ear.

Ning Yuyao's eyes lit up, and she said in a low voice, "Catch up and have a look!"

Attached is a mess, how can anyone observe the movements of the girls?The two girls ran all the way out of the main street where Zhang's house was located, and they relaxed, and even had the leisure to buy a lotus lantern from a peddler.They mixed into the ordinary daughter's house, half of being crowded by the crowd, and half of following their own destination.

The stars and the moon compete for brilliance, and the bright lights reflect people.The gloomy water surface was sparkling, and countless small lights were blown forward by the wind.

Under the willow trees on the shore of the lake, a group of young ladies were dancing with their skirts and skirts, and their graceful posture attracted many young men to watch secretly.

"This is Lianhu Lake." Chu Zhao whispered.

The destination of those two maids dressed up is right here.

Ning Yuyao turned her head to glance at Chu Zhao, and said in a low voice, "They are going to leave again, should we still follow?" She was not an ordinary little girl who acted furtively.Ning Yuyao guessed that one of them was the runaway Miss Zhou, but she didn't know who the other woman she was intimate with was.

"Let's go and have a look again." Chu Zhao raised his eyes to look at the young lady who surrounded the two women under the tree, and said with a smile, "You see, they are going to leave, maybe they are going to take her there to find a sweetheart."

Not far from Lianhu Lake, there is a deserted Yuelao Temple, but today it has been dressed up as a wedding hall.A group of young ladies embraced the two dressed as maids, and after a quarter of an hour, two brides in phoenix crowns and xiapei came out.Where did the lady and servant from the rich family escape?It is obvious that the two girls are in pairs, and with the help of their good sisters, they have settled a relationship.

The fluttering red curtain is just like Chu Zhao's mood.

She has experienced so much with Zhaoyang, and there is one thing she always owes.

"What are you thinking?" Ning Yuyao asked softly, raising her head slightly.

"I'm thinking of you." Chu Zhao stared at Ning Yuyao's eyes tightly, and the tenderness in his eyes seemed to be overflowing.I want to see you wearing a phoenix crown and red clothes for me, brocade tents in the bridal chamber, flowers and candles shaking the shadows, and all the worries of my life.
