Although he told himself in his heart that it might just be a coincidence, he still felt uneasy.
Suddenly someone patted him...
Lin Chong's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He had changed his clothes today and brought nothing with him, and he couldn't help but feel desperate.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Wang Chengen walked all the way looking for it. When he finally asked a woman who came out to sell lanterns with her son, he finally got the impression that she bought a prayer lantern and came in this direction.
When I finally found him in the corner, I saw him huddled alone behind a tree, as if he was afraid that someone would see him.
Lin Chong turned his head stiffly and almost knelt down when he saw it was Wang Chengen. Brother, could you please stop scaring people like this next time? You know, you can scare people to death!
Seeing that he didn't hear his question at all, Wang Chengen had no choice but to raise his voice and ask again: "Your Majesty, are you okay?"
Lin Chong shook his head: "It's okay, those people are gone?"
Wang Chengen was surprised: "Who are these people? When the slave came, your Majesty was the only one here!"
It seemed that those people had already left when he came. He probably didn't notice himself hiding behind the tree because he had something important to do. In any case, he saved his life.
I wanted to tell Wang Chengen right away what he had just seen and thought about. After thinking about it, there were so many people outside, so I just helped him stand up: "It's okay, let's go. They should be anxious after such a long time."
When Wang Chengen led Lin Chong to find Jonathan and the others, Lin Chong was speechless. Mu Xi and Mu Xi were each carrying several lamps, and they were grabbing a bunch of candied haws in the other hand and eating them happily. They didn't seem to be worried about him at all.
Look.
Even Jonathan had a bunch of messy things in his hand. Lin Chong went over to take a look. There were a lot of clay dolls, hairpins and the like.
Lin Chong was speechless: "Old Qiao, I didn't realize you still have this kind of hobby. You said you don't even have a few hairs, why would you buy a hairpin?"
Jonathan was even more speechless than him: "Who told you I bought this?"
"Tch, you didn't buy it. Could it be that someone gave it to you for free?"
"Yes, it's just free gifts from others. Not only that, everything they hold in their hands, eat in their mouths, and put in their pockets are all free gifts from others."
Lin Chong was stunned for a moment. Wasn't there something wrong with his ears? All these messy things were given by others? Why should he just slander his face?
Jonathan saw Lin Chong's doubts and gestured in the direction of Guan Ying with his eyes. Lin Chong understood. He didn't expect that Guan Ying, who was usually such a serious person, would be like this. How many sisters, sisters, aunts, and aunts must he flirt with to deceive him?
So many things.
He patted Guan Ying's shoulder meaningfully: "I didn't realize that Xiaoguan, you have two hands!"
Guan Ying turned his head back and said calmly: "This is nothing."
Lin Chong couldn't help but want to ask him for advice, but he was worried that he would be frightened by being too direct, so he retreated and discussed with Jonathan. "Old Qiao, how did Guan Ying do it? Could it be that he has an iceberg-shaped facial paralysis now?
Are all young and old eating it?”
Seeing his previous reaction, Jonathan thought that he had understood what he meant, but he didn't expect that it was actually a thousand miles away. "What are you thinking about? All ages can take advantage of it. These things are all prizes won by Guanying for guessing lantern riddles.
There were also quite a few that we just couldn’t take away, so he gave them away directly.”
Lin Chong opened his mouth wide enough to stuff an egg: "Guessing lantern riddles, you won so much? Why didn't he grab it! Won't others have any objections?"
Jonathan spread his hands: "I don't know, probably not. He guesses things that others can't guess wrongly."
Lin Chong:...Is it so secretive?
At this time, Wang Chengen stood next to him and said quietly: "What's so surprising? Guanying was also in the top three in the imperial examination a few years ago, right? If Ling Yiqu hadn't said that he was short of manpower and insisted on being on duty at Dali Temple,
He himself is willing to stay in Dali Temple, and now he is a rookie in the imperial court, so I would not arrange for him to go to Dali Temple."
Lin Chong thought to himself: What does it matter whether he is in Dali Temple or not? If he were placed in Dali Temple, wouldn't he still be a rookie in the imperial court? More than just a rookie, if he was placed among the prisoners, he would be a superstar!
Even his boss and his disciples don't dare to mess with him. No matter how noble and noble his position is, he may not be willing to change it even if he is given the title of emperor.
Seeing that brainless little fool Mu Mu finished eating the candied haws and stared at the croquettes, he stretched out his little claws to catch Guan Ying: "Brother Guan Ying, let's go over there and have a look. We've seen everyone here.
Already."
Humph, I haven't seen you anxious even after I've been missing for such a long time. I'm quite excited to watch the lights and eat sweets. When I return to the palace, I'll see how I deal with you two naughty children.
Lin Chong was still angrily thinking about how to pack these two gadgets when he got back. Suddenly he felt someone tugging at the corner of his clothes. He lowered his head and saw who it could be if it wasn't that little idiot.
"Master, where were you just now? Mu Xi said that there were beautiful things over there that children were not allowed to pass, so you secretly went to see them by yourself. What on earth were they?"
It turns out that Mu Xi, this kid, is trying to slander his own image and not let children read murder, assassin, and ghost stories. Children should not be allowed to read them.
Mu Mu struggled to pull out a paper package from the hand of the one holding the lamp: "Master, look, I've saved the biggest bunch for you. Mu Xi said it won't taste good if it's sugared. Please try it quickly."
Lin Chong took the tightly wrapped candied haws. It had indeed melted, and his hands were sticky with syrup. Lin Chong took a bite and reluctantly told a white lie: "It's not bad, it's quite delicious."
When Mu Xi secretly threw it away, Lin Chong felt guilty for a while.
Mu Mu clapped his hands happily, and then went to pull Mu Xi. Mu Xi looked at his hand that was as sticky as her own with a tangled expression, and her rejection was very obvious.
While Mu Xi was pulling Mu Xi to look at the lights, Lin Chong secretly told Guan Ying about the woman he had just met. After hesitating for a while, he said that he had given her a brocade handkerchief.
If someone brings that handkerchief to Dali Temple and asks him for help in the future, I hope he can lend a helping hand and try his best to help her.
Guan Ying frowned as if he wanted to say something, but stopped when he reached his mouth: "I know, I know. If she comes to ask for help, I will try my best."
Lin Chong felt relieved and started to play along with the two children. After playing around for a long time, his impression of Guan Ying was greatly improved.
Although Guan Ying was expressionless when he spoke and always had a paralyzed face, and had a strange and dark personality, he liked to study new torture instruments when he had nothing to do, but overall, he was a good person.
