Lady of Fortune, Jiao Niang

The smile on Chu Chengyun's face hasn't faded since entering the town.

He is the third son of today's emperor, with brothers and brothers, and it is not his turn to think about it.

Since childhood, no one has told him to work hard for that dragon chair, and Chu Chengyun's goal has always been to be idle and happy.

Although he was smart and good at poetry and prose as a young man, he was very playful. He only hoped that he would be put on the fief by his father and let him be at ease.

But things went counter-intuitive. A few months ago, the emperor's condition deteriorated and the emperor was helpless. Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone could see that the limit of the current sage was approaching, and it was only about the past two years.

Chu Chengyun discovered that the originally gentle and loving emperor brother had become aggressive, and the cute and well-behaved emperor brother had also hugged in groups.

Chu Chengyun never thought about the throne, and he was too lazy to fight for the throne. He was helpless in the court, especially among the civil servants. Most of them had good friends with him. As a result, his Those brothers wanted to kill him except for trying to win him over.

In the end, Chu Chengyun used an unskilled method--

Pretending to be a painting idiot, I will search for celebrities' calligraphy and paintings, and hold the paintings with ecstasy or sadness from time to time.

But as the prince, he likes calligraphy and painting is nothing new, and others don't think there is anything wrong.

Chu Chengyun changed his path again and began his long journey of harming others.

For this reason, he burned the prime minister’s study room, smashed the Shangshu family’s Buddhist hall, and yelled "Fish as much as I want," and he drove out the Qianli Pond in the imperial palace, skewered and grilled in public...

Regardless of whether others could see that he was pretending to be mad and stupid, in short, Chu Chengyun was given the title of King Duan by the emperor and gave him a remote fief, allowing him to travel in Beijing without a time limit. Back to Beijing".

Obviously he was released, but in fact, he was sent out, only as a scourge, not bothering to see and mind.

In this regard, the new king Duan not only did not feel sad, but rather happily took his own princess, packed up his things, and left the capital that night, in an impatient posture.

Anyway, he is a phoenix and dragon grandson, as long as he can successfully reach the fief, he can fulfill the wish of the Xiaoyao lord, and it can be regarded as complete.

Especially before I left, I ate a mouthful of charcoal grilled koi, which was delicious and worthwhile.

It's just that Chu Chengyun realized that his brothers hadn't let him go, and even came to try from time to time to see if he really gave up the position, which made Chu Chengyun annoyed.

However, some ministers in the capital felt that he was not avoiding contention for the throne, but imitating those princes in history who had endured the humiliation, pretending to be mad and stupid, and admiring him more and more, and surrendering posts one after another, wishing to praise Chu Chengyun now. Get up, so that they themselves can get the power of the dragon.

As a result, the more the ministers' brain supplements, the more anxious the other princes, which directly caused Chu Chengyun to start to wonder if these people who rely on brain supplements for their livelihoods were really sick.

Especially after he had experienced difficulties such as poisoned tea, assassinations, beauty tricks, etc., Chu Chengyun became more and more low-key, and even wished to turn himself into a small commoner and disappear.

What brothers and ministers should get out of his life.

He has done a good job recently. It has been almost a month since no one has come to give him medicine. This made Chu Chengyun have the courage to walk out.

I stayed here this time not to avoid anyone, but because Chu Chengyun saved a talented young man. He was so uncomfortable talking about poetry and essays. He also heard that the lanterns here were amazing, so he was ready to see the excitement. .

However, it is a pity that he originally made an appointment with Qi Ming, but Qi Ming separated from them. Hearing Ye Pingrong reported back that Qi Ming could not find them, he went to a wine shop and waited, Chu Cheng Yun wanted to wait a while after reading the lights before going to meet her little friend, and just walk around with her princess.

The princess Meng was the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty. She was originally a lady, but the most delicate, but she was willing to stay away from the capital for Chu Chengyun, and her dress was much more low-key.

It's just that Meng is still a woman who likes beautiful objects. After seeing the Yutu lantern, she gently asked Chu Chengyun: "Msang Gong, I want to go and see."

Chu Chengyun also saw the Yutu lantern. Hearing Meng's words, he immediately responded, and the two of them walked towards the booth together.

Coincidentally, Qi Yun also bid farewell to shopkeeper Sun and went to the booth with Ye Jiao.

The two couples arrived almost at the same time, but instead of looking at each other, they both looked at the lantern.

Chu Chengyun was the first to ask: "Is this lamp sold?"

The stall owner was a middle-aged man with a mustache, and he smiled and replied: "This son, I don't sell this lamp, but you can rely on luck to see if you can get it."

This is new, and Chu Chengyun showed some curiosity on his face: "What luck?"

The stall owner pointed to the box in front of him, and said with a smile: "You can touch a ball from the ten cents, and the things behind are divided into different colors. If it is black, it is empty. If it is another color, it can be taken away. ."

When Chu Chengyun heard this, he couldn't help but said, "Isn't this just Guanpu?"

Ye Jiao was standing not far away, and she was also looking at this lantern. At the moment, listening to the freshness, she asked Qi Yun in a low voice, "What is Guanpu?"

Qi Er Shao, who had a ball of fur, also ended the conversation with shopkeeper Sun. At this moment, he was standing obliquely behind Ye Jiao. Hearing the words, he lowered his head slightly and replied, "Just take a copper plate and spread it on the table. , Look at the number of appearances on the back to determine the winning or losing game."

This sounds like a game, but being linked to money is of a different nature.

It’s just that the stall owner is obviously not afraid of Chu Chengyun’s question, and confidently said: “You can play this kind of small game from the first day to the third day of the first lunar month every year, as long as it does not exceed fifty cents at a time, the court is allowed.” , The stall owner also smiled and asked Chu Chengyun, "Should you try?"

Meng knew that this was a winning game, so he tugged Chu Chengyun's sleeve and said softly, "Otherwise, forget it."

Chu Chengyun is a playful temperament. Instead, he gave him fifty essays of copper plates enthusiastically, saying: "Well, I will try five times first."

The stall owner took the money with a smile, and put the box in front of Chu Chengyun.

Chu Chengyun reached in, stirred, and touched one.

Black ball.

Meng clan hurriedly comforted him, but Chu Chengyun didn't care and continued to touch.

Black ball, black ball, black ball...

Ye Jiao stared at them and looked at the jade rabbit lantern again. She wanted it, but she didn't know how.

This person touched it five times, all black balls, it seems that this game is not easy.

Little ginseng thought for a long time, but there is no good way.

At this time, Ye Pingrong, who had been following Chu Chengyun all the way, stepped forward, and did not disturb Chu Chengyun, but slightly opened his arms, as if blocking the crowd of people onlookers, let them not get too close.

But at this moment, Ye Pingrong's eyes swept to the side unconsciously, and then his gaze moved away from Chu Chengyun for the first time, and he fixedly looked at the woman in the red cloak.

He knew this cloak, and it was the woman he met on the street last time.

At that time, it was just a glimpse, and I faintly felt that it was somewhat similar to the little girl. At that time, I roughly looked at my eyebrows, but I couldn't see anything else.

But now, looking closely, this eyebrow, this mouth, this look, it is clear that it is the same person!

Ye Pingrong was taken aback, and he looked at Ye Jiao's already combed bun, and said to his heart: My little girl is really married? But why is she alone in the street today? This is the second year of the junior high school. It should be the day to marry your daughter back to the door. Why didn't your second brother stay with her?

Obviously, Ye Jia Dalang had completely ignored the Qi Jia Erlang who was wrapped in a fur ball behind Ye Jiao.

He deliberately asked Ye Jiao, but because his prince was in the mood, Ye Pingrong was ready to watch the changes.

And this whole psychological activity could not be seen from Ye Tishu's face, he was still indifferent and unmoving like the wind.

At this time, Chu Chengyun asked, "Is the biggest color in your place the lantern?"

The stall owner nodded and said: "Yes."

Chu Chengyun had already added it several times. He looked at the twenty black **** in front of him and pulled down the purse: "You say a price, I will buy it."

Meng clan was taken aback, and then he couldn't help but smile, but his hand stopped Chu Chengyun.

Her own prince wanted to buy lanterns for herself. She was happy, but Meng knew that the stall owner would not easily sell the lanterns even if he gave the money.

The jade rabbit lantern should have been used by the stall owner to attract customers, how could it be so casually sold?

If it is sold, how can he attract people to play in the next few days.

Sure enough, the stall owner smiled and did not answer, but looked at him. When he saw Ye Jiao, the stall owner took the initiative and said, "This lady likes it too. Would you like to try it?"

"Me?" Ye Jiao didn't expect that he would ask herself, and subconsciously looked at Qi Yun.

Qi Yun nodded to her. This kind of little game of lottery is like a loop. It's just entertainment. It's nothing to play.

The final result is that nothing can be obtained, and Qi Yun has also figured it out. It's okay if you really can't get anything. There are lanterns sold not far away, so you can buy one for your own sweet lady.

Ye Jiao also walked over, staring at the box, then at Chu Chengyun's twenty black balls, hesitated, and said, "I'll come five times."

The stall owner was just trying to change the subject. Now that he saw that there was a business coming to the door, he was naturally happy, and immediately received fifty copper plates with a smile and handed her the box.

Chu Chengyun stood aside, pulled Meng Shi, but didn't pay attention to Ye Jiao, just wondering how much money could be spent to let the boss sell the lantern.

But at this moment, he heard the boss's surprised voice: "A yellow ball, a pair of clay figures."

……Ok?

Chu Chengyun looked at Ye Jiao in surprise, Ye Pingrong was also slightly stunned, and Qi Yun's eyes were fixed on Ye Jiao.

To be honest, Chu Chengyun had just missed one time in 20 times, and Qi Yun was convinced that the stall owner probably stuffed hundreds of black balls, but only a few colored **** were in it, but now... what? Just touch it?

Ye Jiao put the yellow ball aside. She didn't like clay figurines, so she didn't look at it much, and then stretched her delicate hand into the box.

When he retracted, he held a blue one.

The stall owner’s voice was already audible and stunned: "This...a blue ball and a ceramic ornament."

The little ginseng blinked and reached in again.

"Green... a green ball, this, a pen holder..." The stall owner's voice squatted. After delivering the things this time, he picked up the box and shook it, for fear that he had just put the color All got together.

However, Ye Jiao didn't stretch out his hand this time, but asked the stall owner softly, "The lantern, what color do you want?"

The stall owner turned his head to confirm the paper pasted under the lantern, and then answered: "Red."

Ye Jiao nodded, but she didn't think she felt anything strange, she just asked about it just because she was afraid that the stall owner would lie to herself, after all, he had the final say on what color was right and that was not good.

For Xiao Ginseng, when she ate dumplings before, she just wanted to eat dumplings, so she didn't care about it.

It was the same this time. All she wanted was the lantern, so other things weren't important to Ye Jiao.

But she didn't notice that the surrounding area was a little quiet now.

Reach in and take out again.

Ye Jiao stretched out her palms and took a peek for herself first, and then, the stall owner who had also seen him sat directly on the ground, Ye Jiao couldn't help but let out a "Huh", finally there was a smile on her face.

And in her palm, there was a red ball lying quietly.
