The smile on Chu Chengyun's face has never fallen since he entered the town.

He is the third son of the emperor today, and there are brothers and brothers above and below, so it is not his turn to think too much about the elder brother.

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

Although he is intelligent and good at poetry and prose, he is very playful. He only hopes to be put on the fief by his father and let him be carefree.

It just went against one's wishes. A few months ago, the emperor's condition worsened, and there was nothing the doctor could do about it. Although he didn't say it clearly, everyone could see that the end of the holy days was coming, only about the events of the past two years.

Chu Chengyun found that the originally gentle and loving brothers have become aggressive, and the lovely and clever brothers are also hugging in twos and threes.

Chu Chengyun never thought of the throne and didn't bother to fight for the throne, but he had a good reputation in the dynasty, especially among the literary courtiers, and most of them made friends with him. As a result, his brothers, in addition to trying to woo him, just wanted to kill him.

In the end, Chu Chengyun used a not-so-clever way

Pretend to be a painting fanatic, to see the day to collect celebrity calligraphy and painting, from time to time to hold the painting ecstatic or grief-stricken appearance.

But as a prince, it is nothing new for him to like calligraphy and painting, and others do not think there is anything wrong with it.

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

To this end, he burned down the prime minister's study, smashed the Shang Shu family's Buddhist hall, shouted "fish I want," fished out the thousand carp ponds in the palace, and roasted them in public.

No matter whether others saw that he was pretending to be crazy and foolish, Chu Chengyun was given the title of King Duanwang by the emperor and gave him a remote fiefdom, allowing him to travel out of Beijing without a time limit, in other words, "you can't go back to Beijing unless called."

Obviously put him out, in fact, is to send out, only as thrown out of a scourge, out of sight and out of mind.

In this regard, the new Duanwang not only did not feel sad, but happily took his princess, packed up his things, and left the capital that night, showing great eagerness.

Anyway, no matter how he is, he is the grandson of Phoenix and Dragon. As long as he can successfully reach the fiefdom, he will be able to fulfill his wish of a carefree king, which can be regarded as a perfect achievement.

Especially after eating charcoal roast koi before leaving, it tastes delicious and is worth it.

It's just that Chu Chengyun found that his brothers didn't let him go, and even came to test him from time to time to see if he really gave up the throne, making Chu Chengyun annoying.

Unluckily, some ministers in the capital felt that he was not avoiding the struggle for the throne, but imitating the emperor who had endured humiliation in history, pretending to be stupid and keeping a low profile, and admired him more and more and defected one after another. I wish I could praise Chu Chengyun now so that they could get the merit of being a dragon.

As a result, the more the ministers made up their brains, the more anxious the other princes became, which directly led Chu Chengyun to wonder if there was really something wrong with these people who lived on them.

Especially after he experienced the difficulties of poisoned tea, assassination, beauty plots and so on, Chu Chengyun kept a low profile and even wanted to turn himself into a common people and disappear.

It would be better for any brother or minister to get out of his life.

He has done a good job recently, and no one has drugged his dish for almost a month now, which makes Chu Chengyun have the courage to come out for a walk.

This time, stayed here not to avoid anyone, but because Chu Chengyun saved a talented teenager and felt uncomfortable talking about poems and essays. As soon as heard the lanterns here, was ready to come and have a look at the hustle and bustle.

But unfortunately, it was originally an appointment with Qi Ming to come together, but Qi Ming was separated from them. Ye Pingrong reported that Qi Ming could not find them, so he went to a liquor store to wait. Chu Chengyun thought that he would rendezvous with his little friend after seeing the lamp later, just take his princess and go shopping.

Princess Meng was the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty. She was originally a lady of a big family, but she was the most delicate, but at this time 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 things. When she saw the Jade Rabbit Lantern, she gently asked Chu Chengyun, "Xianggong, I want to have a look."

Chu Chengyun also saw the Jade Rabbit Lantern, listened to Meng's words, immediately came down, the two people went towards the booth with each other.

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

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

Chu Chengyun was the first to ask, "is this lamp for sale?"

The owner of the stall, a middle-aged man with a mustache, replied with a smile: "this Childe, I don't sell this lamp, but I can rely on luck to see if I can get it."

This is new, Chu Chengyun face with some curiosity: "what luck?"

The stall owner pointed to the box in front of him and said with a smile, "Ten cents can touch a ball from inside, and the things behind are divided into different colors. If black is empty, if other colors can take things away."

When Chu Chengyun heard this, he could not help saying, "isn't this Guan Pu?"

Ye Jiao stood not far away, she was also looking at the lantern, now listening to the fresh, whispered asked Qi Yun: "what is Guan Pu?"

Qi Erxiao, with a ball of hair, also ended his conversation with shopkeeper Sun. Standing behind Ye Jiao, he bowed his head slightly and replied, "it's a game to win or lose by throwing a handful of copper coins on the table and looking at the number of times they appear on the back."

It sounds like a game, but pegging to money is different in nature.

It's just that the stall owner was obviously not afraid of Chu Cheng's permission, and said confidently, "you can play this kind of Mini Game from the first to the third day of the first lunar month every year, as long as it costs no more than 50 yuan at a time, and the court allows it." With that, the stall owner smiled and asked Chu Chengyun, "would you like to try it?"

As soon as Meng heard this, he knew it was a lottery game, so he pulled Chu Chengyun's sleeve and whispered, "otherwise forget it."

Chu Chengyun is a playful temperament, but cheerfully gave him 50 coins, said: "well, I will try five times."

The stall owner smiled and took the money and put the box in front of Chu Chengyun.

Chu Chengyun put his hand in, stirred it, and touched one.

Black ball.

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

Black ball, black ball.

Ye Jiao stared at them, and then turned her eyes to the jade rabbit lantern. She wanted it, but she didn't know how to get it.

The man touched it five times and it was all black balls. It seemed that the game was not easy.

Little ginseng has been thinking about it for a long time, but there is no good way.

At this time, Ye Pingrong, who followed Chu Chengyun all the way, came forward, and did not disturb Chu Chengyun, but opened his arms slightly, as if to block the onlookers and told them not to get too close.

But at this time, Ye Pingrong's eyes unconsciously swept to the side, and then, for the first time, his eyes moved away from Chu Chengyun and fixed his eyes on the woman in a red cloak.

He knew the cloak, the woman he met in the street last time.

At that time, it was just a glance, vaguely similar to little sister. roughly looked at eyebrows and eyes at that time, but didn't see anything else clearly.

But now look carefully, this eyebrow, this mouth, this appearance, obviously is the same person!

Ye Pingrong was surprised and looked at the bun that Ye Jiao had combed up. She said to herself, "is my little sister really married?" But why is she alone in the street today? Today is the second year of junior high school. It's time for my married daughter to go home. Why didn't the second brother accompany her?

Obviously, Ye Jia Dalang has completely ignored the Qi Jia Erlang, who was wrapped into a hairball behind Ye Jiao.

He had the heart to ask Ye Jiao, but because his Wang Ye was in high spirits, Ye Pingrong was ready to wait and see what happened.

And this whole psychological activity, which can not be seen from Ye Tiha's face, is still indifferent and cold, motionless as the wind.

At this time, Chu Chengyun asked, "is that lantern the biggest color you have here?"

The stall owner nodded and said, "Yes."

Chu Chengyun has added several times, he looked at the twenty black balls in front of him, pulled down the purse: "you tell me the price, I will buy it."

Meng was stupefied, and then his face could not help laughing, but his hand was blocking Chu Chengyun.

Wang Ye wants to buy lanterns for herself. She is happy, but Meng knows that even if she gives money, the owner of the stall will not sell the lanterns easily.

The Jade Rabbit Lantern should have been a means for the stall owner to attract guests. How could he sell it so casually?

If he sells it, what will he rely on to attract people to play in the next few days?

Sure enough, the stall owner smiled and did not answer, but talked about him around. When he saw Ye Jiao in his eyes, the stall owner took the initiative and said, "this lady looks like it, too. Would you like to try it?"

"me?" Ye Jiao did not expect that he would ask herself and subconsciously looked at Qi Yun.

Qi Yun nodded to her. This lottery Mini Game is like a ring. It's just for entertainment. It's nothing to play with.

The final result was that he couldn't get anything, and Qi Yun decided that he really couldn't get anything. There was a lantern seller not far away, and he just bought one for his wife.

Ye Jiao went over, looked at the box, looked at Chu Chengyun's twenty black balls, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll come five times."

The owner of the stall was just to change the subject, and now seeing that he was happy to have business, he immediately took fifty coins with a smile and handed her the box.

Chu Chengyun stood aside, pulling Meng, but did not pay attention to Ye Jiao, just wondering how much money could be spent to let the boss sell the lantern.

But just then, he heard the surprised voice of the boss: "A yellow ball, a pair of clay figurines."

…… Yeah?

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

To tell you the truth, just after Chu promised to miss 20 times, he convinced Qi Yun that the stall owner had probably stuffed hundreds of black balls, but there were only a few colored ones in it, but now …. How did you get it right by touching it?

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

When he pulled back, he had a blue one in his hand.

The stall owner's voice could already be heard in amazement: "this …". One blue ball and one ceramic decoration. "

The little ginseng blinked and put his hand in again.

"Green. A green ball, this, a penholder. " The stall owner's voice stumbled, and after sending things out this time, he picked up the box and shook it for fear that he had just got all the colored ones together.

But Ye Jiao stopped holding out her hand this time, but asked the stall owner softly in her voice, "what color do you want for that lantern?"

The stall owner turned his head to determine the paper affixed under the lantern, and then replied, "Red."

Ye Jiao nodded, but she didn't think she felt anything strange. She just asked for fear that the stall owner would deceive herself. After all, it was up to him to decide what color was right and what was wrong.

For little ginseng, she just wanted to eat dumplings when she ate dumplings before, so she didn't care.

It's the same this time. All she wants is a lantern, so everything else is not important to Ye Jiao.

But she didn't notice that there was some silence around now.

Put your hand in and take it out.

Ye Jiao opened her hand and secretly looked at it for herself. Then, the same stall owner sat directly on the ground. Ye Jiao could not help saying "hey", and finally there was a smile on her face.

And in the palm of her jade palm, there lies a red ball quietly.
