Chapter 8: It's like being trapped
The sound of firecrackers rang out on Dongyang Street one after another when it was dawn on the first day of the new year. Wrapped lazily rolled over and got up to freshen up.
The sun outside is very good, the ice and snow have melted a little, and the plum blossoms are really the most enthusiastic time.
Liuxiang entered the room with her new clothes in her hands, smiling all over her face: "Miss Happy New Year."
Chen Rong took out the red envelope in the drawer and handed it to Liuxiang, "So is Liuxiang."
Liuxiang happily accepted and thanked, put the tray on the table, and served Chen Rong to dress, "Miss, will you go to the house with your wife today?"
Chen Rong shook his head and let Liu Xiang put Zhu Chai on the bun on his head, "No, I told my brother today that I will go to the lantern festival."
In the past, she thought the lantern festival was too crowded and no fun, and would rather go to her grandfather's house to sit idle. Speaking of which, this was the second time she went to the lantern festival. The first time was taken by Chen Wenshu, but in the end, he came back with no interest.
She played casually with a golden hairpin, "Tomorrow all relatives will come, and I will recognize them."
Jin Buyao was pressed down on the neat single bun, and she was dressed in bright red, looking extremely delicate.
Liuxiang smoothed Chen Rong's hair again, secretly amazed, "When the young lady reaches her hairpin, I'm afraid this Jiangnan matchmaker will break the threshold of our Chen residence."
Fortunately, the security is good, otherwise her bright outfit will be a fat sheep wherever she goes.
Liu Xiang held down Chen Rong's hand to take the hairpin, "Madam said that you want to dress up more festively today."
Chen Rong raised her brows, why did her mother who had always adopted a stocking policy on her suddenly remembered to intervene in such a trivial matter?
Scented and closed Chen Rong's jewelry box, "Miss, go to the front hall for breakfast, Madam and Master are waiting for you."
Chen Rongzong went out in a sullen mood, and happened to meet Xu Yiru in the corridor. Rarely, she was wearing a blue dress, with a winding skirt, a few small flowers on her bun, and blue and white tassels. Between the blue silk on both sides, the blue silk is like splashing ink, and the clear water hibiscus is slim.
"What a fairy." Chen Rong couldn't help muttering to himself.
She was fortunate to have brought Xu Yiru back, otherwise she might have been bullied by the Lin family. Chen Rong suddenly showed a kind of eagerness to see how perfect he was.
Xu Yiru noticed that Chen Rong stepped on the snow on the upper porch, and an imperceptible look flashed in her eyes, and stopped to wait for her, "A Rong is very beautiful today."
If others praised like that, Chen Rong would just laugh at it, but Xu Yiru praised herself, but she felt very sincere and a little embarrassed, "Really? My mother asked me to wear something more festive today. ."
When she walked in front of her, Xu Yiru smiled and raised her hand to straighten the white Qiu on her body, "Well, the New Year does have a good omen."
I really want to say that Sister Xu is also very beautiful, but after a few words of promise, I always feel a little deliberately agreeing.
Forget it, she knows how good Sister Xu is anyway, so she doesn't need to say it.
"What have you been looking at me for?" Xu Yiru looked at Chen Rong with some doubts and touched her cheek, "Is there something dirty on my face?"
Chen Rong hurriedly said, "No, I was just distracted and thinking about something."
According to Chen Rong's plan, she, Xu Yiru, Chen Wenshu and Qiao Tongzi, a group of four went to the lantern festival, accompany Xu Yiru to relax, and then took advantage of the crowd of fireworks at night to take Qiao Tong Zi was tied up, and she encouraged her brother to save people, brewing a little spark of love.
In the first place, she was prepared to be foolproof, but she never expected that there would be two more people!
One is her nemesis Zhang Shaochu, and the other is her brother's classmate and friend, Yin Guangling, known as the Little Poetry Fairy in the South of the Yangtze River.
Chen Rong rubbed his sleeves very annoyed, the existence of these two people is really eye-catching.
Chen Wenshu introduced his sister to Yin Guangling with a smile, completely ignoring Chen Rong's burning gaze, "This is my sister Chen Rong."
Chen Rongxiao was a little polite and clasped her fists: "I have long admired the name."
Yin Guanglingsheng is handsome, slender and kind and polite, Chen Rong sighed, if it were on weekdays, she would appreciate this person very much, but how to get rid of this trouble today is still a problem …
Yin Guangling was amused by Chen Rong's style, and raised his brows, "I've been wanting to get to know Miss Chen for a long time, and seeing it today is indeed the number one beauty in Jiangnan."
Chen Rong smiled dryly, thinking, beauty is external, you didn't see my inner talent.
Xu Yiru glanced at Zhang Shaochu more, and the frown that was originally frowned by Yin Guangling's words also stretched, and the corner of his mouth was hooked and he couldn't help laughing.
This person rarely has the same opinion as himself.
"The visitor is a guest. It's too much for Zhang Gongzi to say that." Chen Rong glanced at Zhang Shaochu speechlessly, with disapproval on his face, but what he thought in his heart was, very good, Well done, boy!
Zhang Shaochu was very puzzled, "You also know that the visitor is a guest? Why didn't I see you being more polite to me?"
I think he has such outstanding wealth and talent, when did he suffer setbacks? Only this Chen Rong, not only ignoring him, but also always looks like he is a scourge, which is annoying.
The corner of Chen Rong's mouth twitched, "Where is this from? We are so familiar, and we must not treat outsiders in the same way."
This is almost the same. Zhang Shaochu nodded with satisfaction and glanced at Yin Guangling, who was calm and calm. However... He thought of the little tail beside Chen Rong and felt a bit of a headache.
He was really afraid of Xu Yiru, women are trouble.
Xu Yiru didn't like the fun, so she said apologetically to Chen Rong, with a lot of thoughts, "Arong, if you go to play, I won't go."
Chen Rong thought that Xu Yiru would be uncomfortable, but she didn't worry about her being alone, "There's no fun in the daytime, how about we watch the fireworks together at night?"
Xu Yiru didn't want to reject Chen Rong, so she nodded, "Yes."
Yin Guangling didn't think he was a burden, he looked at Xu Yiru with a faint smile, not knowing what he was thinking.
Before leaving, Mrs Gu pulled Chen Rong aside and told Chen Rong with a deep expression to entertain Yin Guangling well. Looking at Yin Guangling's eager eyes was like looking at his son-in-law.
Chen Rong suddenly looked at Chen Wenshu, could it be that her brother also wanted to plot against her? !
"Brother, did you do this on purpose?" Chen Rong rubbed up to Chen Wenshu's side and asked through gritted teeth, "Did you say something in front of your mother?"
Chen Wenshu smiled unfathomably: "Brother Yin is a good person, you deserve it. I did this to repay you for talking about my marriage in my mother's ear every day, don't thank me, Brothers and sisters should care for each other.”
Chen Rong took two steps back in disappointment, and pointed tremblingly at the gentle and handsome Chen Wenshu, "Brother, you have changed, I'm only eleven, you're just crazy!"
"Prepare for a rainy day." Chen Wenshu spit out these four words lightly, and left with a smile.
Chen Rong realized that she had underestimated her brother, and the guilt in her heart disappeared completely. It seems that this will be a battle of masters.
Chen Rong secretly clenched her small fist, she is Chen, she will win!
The performance caused many people to rush to wait early.
Chen Rong and his party were many escorts, and walking on the street was really eye-catching.
.
Chen Rong glanced at Zhang Shaochu, who was sullen and silent, and Yin Guangling, who was always smiling but not smiling. Big Mantou, "Your family treats you harshly?"
"This is called experiencing life in advance." Qiao Tongzi raised his eyebrows, his eyes sparkling, "I'm going to join the army, my brother has already agreed."
"Amazing." Chen Rong couldn't help but praise.
At this moment, Zhang Shaochu suddenly said, "Chen Rong, do you eat candied haws?"
Chen Rong was stunned for a while, then turned to look at Zhang Shaochu, and answered very sincerely: "Friend, no need, I'm very full now."
"Oh." Zhang Shaochu was a little embarrassed, raised his chin and said arrogantly: "I just saw you staring at other people's steamed buns and thought you were hungry."
Chen Rong: "…"
Qiao Tongzi couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that these two were very interesting, and went to Chen Wenshu's side very wisely, and gave up the position to Zhang Shaochu.
Zhang Shaochu was very satisfied with Qiao Tongzi's behavior, coughed twice, went to Chen Rong and pointed to the luxurious pavilion on the roadside and said, "This jewelry shop belongs to my family, today is the Spring Festival, we will see I will give you a set of jewelry for your friendship, and you can choose it yourself."
"No need, I don't lack..." Chen Rong felt a sense of unease in his heart, firmly believing that the male protagonist must be cannon fodder except for the female protagonist, and he was even more convinced that he had taken the wrong woman matching script.
Qiao Tongzi interrupted Chen Rong's words, "I just want to buy a Zhu Chai, come with me to see."
Chen Rong followed in, watching the shopkeeper put out a dazzling array of accessories, frowning, and later realized that something was wrong, she was obviously going to match Qiao Tongzi and her brother, How did it seem that she was trapped in it in the end?
"Does it look good?" Qiao Tongzi asked Chen Rong's opinion with a white magnolia jade hairpin.
Chen Rong just wanted to express his indignation righteously, but when he saw the hairpin, his eyes suddenly froze, he took the hairpin, his eyes softened a lot, "It looks good..."
The shopkeeper smiled cheerfully: "Ms. Chen has a good eye, this is made of the top materials in our shop, it is unique."
Chen Rong nodded, her tone subconsciously softened: "Sister Xu must like it very much, this pair of earrings is also very miserable for Sister Xu, and this... all wrapped up."
