Four hundred and fortieth chapters fight for the wind one
Sister Gu? The visitor frowned and glared at Xie Peng unkindly: "Who are you?"
Xie Peng straightened his back and said proudly: "My surname is Xie, and my last name is Peng. The Minister of Civil Affairs is my father."
"I'm just asking you who you are and why you brought your father out." The young man said impatiently: "Just listen to me. Stay away from Sister Gu in the future. If I see you harassing him again, don't blame me. You’re welcome!”
...How could he steal his lines! Xie Peng's face suddenly turned red, whether from embarrassment or anger: "Who are you?" He spoke in such a loud tone.
The young man raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "My surname is Shen and my given name is Chang'an." After a pause, he added: "General Shen, the Zhongyonghou, is my father." Who doesn't know how to be a father?
Xie Peng: "..."
The movement here had already attracted everyone's attention. After Gu Xinian caught sight of Shen Changan's figure, his smile suddenly faded and he walked over coldly. Obviously, prejudice was not caused in a day or two, and it was definitely not caused by It can be eliminated in the short term...
Shen Changan, who was breathless under Xie Peng's strong aura, immediately changed his face when he saw Gu Xinian, and shouted with a smile on his face: "Brother Gu, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet him here. Coming to you."
Gu Xinian replied with a half-smile: "There are indeed a lot of coincidences today! First I met Mr. Xie by chance, and now I met Mr. Shen by chance. You two must have put a lot of thought into this chance encounter tonight!"
Shen Changan hurriedly laughed and said: "Brother Gu misunderstood, it was really just a chance encounter." He would not admit that he sent people to find out the news that Gu Xiyu was going to be on the Lantern Festival and waited on the East Street for a long time!
Xie Peng's face was not even inferior to Shen Changan's. He smiled dryly, without the courage to deny it.
In any case, since they had "encountered each other by chance", it was inconvenient to chase them away. Gu Xinian didn't say anything else, but turned around and told Gu Xiyu: "Yu'er, there are many people here, don't pay attention to those boring men, follow Just stay by my side."
Gu Xiyu nodded obediently.
Shen Changan and Xie Peng: "..."
This unexpected episode did not affect everyone's interest. At most, they glanced at Shen Changan and Xie Peng. Then they looked away and continued to move forward with the crowd.
"There are lantern riddle guessers over there, let's go over and join in the fun." Ye Yuanwei greeted enthusiastically, and everyone agreed with a smile, and went to the lantern riddle guessing booth together.
Among the men, Gu Xinian was the best at guessing lantern riddles. Ye Yuanwei, Zheng Junyan and Cui Yu were also good at it. Gu Yongnian and Xie Peng were far behind. They simply stood aside and watched the fun.
Shen Changan also brought a lantern riddle over. After reading it, he frowned and thought hard for a long time. His expression was no less serious than when he was in the examination room. Then... he put the lantern riddle back honestly.
This kind of brain-consuming thing is really not suitable for him!
Gu Xiyu glanced at him quietly, with a smile in her eyes. Beauty is indeed in the eye of the beholder, she actually found Shen Changan like this very cute!
When Shen Changan saw Gu Xiyu smiling at him, he felt happy. He immediately forgot about the embarrassing incident of his unlucky start.
Seeing the two of them smiling at each other, Xie Peng was extremely jealous. He deliberately moved closer to Shen Changan and smiled provocatively: "Tonight is the Lantern Festival. You have to guess lantern riddles to have fun here. I don't know what Mr. Shen can do. Are you interested in competing with me to see who can guess the most lantern riddles?" His literary talent is not outstanding, but it is better than this idiot Shen Changan!
Shen Changan raised his eyebrows and said with a murderous smile: "Guessing lantern riddles is too boring. How about we find a quiet place and try our skills?"
Xie Peng: "..."
Shen Changan glanced at him sideways and said in an angry tone: "What? Don't you dare?" What kind of man is he to be a coward at the mere mention of making a move?
Xie Peng's face almost turned green. He gritted his teeth and replied: "A gentleman talks with his words but never with his hands!"
"Just say you don't dare." Shen Changan's eyes were full of mockery.
Xie Peng was so angry that he couldn't even say "Who said I dare not" even after holding it in for a long time.
The show of jealousy is much more interesting than guessing lantern riddles! Ye Qinglan's attention was quickly attracted. He looked at Shen Chang'an, who had a murderous look on his face. Then he looked at Shen Chang'an, who was only as tall as Shen Chang'an, regardless of his figure or appearance. A big part of Xie Peng, Ye Qinglan sincerely expressed sympathy to Xie Peng.
They are not opponents of the same level at all!
Of course, there are even more powerful ones! Gu Xinian glanced at the two of them lightly and said coolly: "This is a place where lanterns are sold and people guess lantern riddles. If you two feel that you can't use it here, why not How about changing places?"
So, Shen Changan and Xie Peng instantly changed their smiles and said in unison: "No need to change, no need to change, this is just right."
Gu Xinian was satisfied, then turned around and continued to guess lantern riddles.
…
After guessing the lantern riddles, a few people almost won all the lanterns on the stall, and the vendor almost burst into tears. The lantern seller is most afraid of meeting such people. They are all elegant and well-literated. They are obviously well-read poetry and books. For people like this, guessing lantern riddles is as easy as drinking water.
There are so many noble men who have enough money to buy lanterns. Why are they trying to ruin my business? If all the lanterns are won, what else will they do next? Just go home and sleep.
Gu Xiyu was the most soft-hearted. She couldn't bear to see the hawker frowning and said in a low voice: "Brother, it's not convenient for us to hold so many lanterns. Otherwise, just take a few and leave the rest to guess later." The lantern riddle man is fine."
Gu Xinian had no reason not to agree to this small request. Originally, guessing lantern riddles was just for fun, and no one cared about it.
I returned most of the lanterns to the vendor. The vendor was so happy that he thanked him profusely. He also diligently took some of the most exquisite lanterns and gave them to a few women.
Xie Peng volunteered and said with a smile: "Sister Gu, it is very inconvenient to walk with a lantern. I will carry the lantern for you."
Shen Changan glared at the attentive Xie Peng: "As long as I'm here, I won't bother you with such a small matter."
Xie Peng ignored him and looked at Gu Xiyu expectantly.
The more Shen Changan looked at him, the more he felt like an eyesore, and he wished he could kick him far away. Unfortunately, there were so many people around, and such rude behavior really damaged his tall and mighty image, so he could only suppress this impulse forcibly.
Gu Xiyu was finally disturbed by Xie Pengxian's attentive behavior, but said nothing. She just handed the lantern in front of Shen Changan. Shen Changan's eyes lit up and he took the lantern happily.
Xie Peng's smile completely froze.
Everyone looked at Xie Peng with pity, and then looked away with tacit understanding.
Gu Yongnian couldn't bear it, so he coughed and tried to smooth things over: "We've been shopping for so long, and we're all hungry. Let's find a restaurant to eat!"
Ye Yuanwei was the first to respond, and everyone else nodded in agreement. After a little discussion, they decided to go to the nearest restaurant.
Xie Peng followed behind, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Gu Yongnian couldn't stand it anymore, so he came close to him and touched his arm: "Hey, don't be so listless. Otherwise, you will be compared with others."
Xie Peng nodded languidly and barely raised his chest, but when he saw the back of the tall young man in front of him, he suddenly felt sad and burst into tears.
Where did this Shen Changan come from? Why did Gu Xiyu, who was so unpretentious towards her, look at this Shen Changan in a different light...
Shen Chang'an, who was proud of the spring breeze, raised the corners of his lips and his eyes were shining. This look was very annoying to Gu Xinian's eyes, and he couldn't help but snort.
Shen Changan had already formed a conditioned reflex, and the moment Gu Xi hummed, he put away his proud smile and put on an "I'm honest and low-key" look.
…
It's a coincidence that the nearest restaurant is the most famous Yipinlou on East Street. It has a beautiful environment, exquisite dishes, and first-class expensive prices. This is the busiest time of the restaurant, and the lobby is already full. I asked again , the private rooms were actually booked out. Everyone could not help but feel a little disappointed. After walking for such a long time, not to mention a few delicate women, even the men were tired.
"Is the private room really gone?" Gu Xinian frowned.
The shopkeeper receives all kinds of guests all the year round. Naturally, he can see that the group of young men and women in bright clothes and outstanding demeanor are not ordinary people. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Dear guests, please forgive me, the shop is indeed full today. The private room is here We've all booked out in the morning, and there really isn't any extra room. Otherwise, why would the young man push the guests out?" After a pause, he continued: "Speaking of which, there is a guest from the private room who hasn't come yet. It's so late. I don’t know if I will come again..."
"Since they didn't come, this private room is for us." Ye Yuanwei took over.
The shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "But I have already collected the customer's deposit. There is absolutely no reason to give the private room to others."
After all, the bottom line is, don't even think about eating here tonight.
Everyone's expressions were a bit sad, and they felt as if they came here in good time and then returned disappointed. Just as they were about to turn around and leave, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Yu'er, Yipinlou's dishes are famous. I've ordered someone to book a private room a long time ago. I'm sure you'll be in for a treat tonight..." A handsome man in casual clothes came with high spirits, accompanied by a beautiful and elegant woman. The man was obviously in a good mood and was smiling and talking to the woman next to him. The beautiful woman was smiling lightly, leaning against him tenderly, and her eyes were full of charming charm.
Ye Qinglan's expression was a little subtle, and she quickly exchanged glances with Gu Xinian.
This world is too small! Why do you meet these two wherever you go? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
