MTL - Rebirth of Glory and Splendour-Chapter 78 Tanabata
Looking at Wei Chongrong's deep and quiet eyes, Junhua's uneasy mood calmed down a little, he took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Brother Rong, you have just left, and Guo'er is going to see the monkey fishing for the moon. It started. The children present seemed to like the show very much, and they rushed forward. When Guoer saw it, he also wanted to dig in. I was afraid that he would get lost, so I held his hand tightly, but... But when I squeezed to the front, I realized that what I was holding was not Guo'er's hand, but a child I didn't know."
Wei Chongrong pondered for a while, and asked quickly, "Who is that kid? Is his family nearby?"
Jun Hua hurriedly replied: "Yes, it's right next to us, but Guo'er is not there. If there are too many people crowded out, he can't go far, could it be..." Jun Hua couldn't find Guo'er, I was afraid that someone who was intentional would not dare to speak up, so I hurried to find Wei Chongrong.
Wei Chongrong frowned slightly, blew his whistle, and rushed over to the Dongfang wandering nearby. He asked Dongfang to notify Lu Ming and immediately block the city gate. If Guo'er was really abducted, he would definitely not be able to give the other party a chance to take the child out of the city.
Dongfang led the way, and Wei Chongrong said to Junhua, "Little monkey, let's go in and have a look."
Jun Hua blinked in confusion: "You mean Guo'er is still inside?" He had already looked for it just now, but no one saw Guo'er.
"Closing the gate is just in case. My intuition tells me that Guo'er is still inside." Wei Chongrong said firmly.
"Why?" Jun Hua was dubious, "Brother Rong, is your intuition accurate?"
Wei Chongrong smiled but did not say a word, and took Jun Hua's hand back to the circus performance venue. Because of his nervousness, Jun Hua's palm was sweaty. Wei Chongrong glanced around and took Junhua to the backstage.
At the back of the stage were many cages, large and small, with all kinds of birds and animals used for performances. Wei Chongrong listened carefully and walked straight to the corner. Jun Hua didn't know why, so he followed him every step of the way. After walking a few steps, he heard the monkey's "squeak".
Taking a closer look, there is a small figure squatting in front of the cage containing the monkey, who is it if it is not Guoer.
The little guy winked at the monkeys jumping up and down in the cage, not even knowing that he had been discovered.
Wei Chongrong walked over lightly, grabbed Guo'er by the front of his shirt, and picked him up. Guo'er was terrified, and when she looked back, she saw Wei Chongrong, and immediately apologized with a bitter face: "Cousin, I know I'm wrong, don't tell my father, okay?"
Seeing that Guo'er was safe and sound, Jun Hua's nerves that had been stretched for a long time began to stretch, and he didn't even have the strength to get angry.
"Not good!" Wei Chongrong shook his head solemnly. Disobedient children must be taught a lesson.
Guo'er still didn't give up, and whispered: "Cousin, I don't dare anymore, so you can let me go. If Dad finds out, he will beat my ass. Cousin, I know you are the most Alright, just help me."
Wei Chongrong was unmoved and said calmly, "Xiao Guo'er, I'm sorry, you're too late."
Guo'er didn't understand what Wei Chongrong meant, and seeing that he was not as easy to talk as Jun Hua, he ignored him and stretched out his hands towards Jun Hua: "Brother Hua, hug." The tone of his speech was soft and glutinous, and it was difficult for people to refuse.
Junhua also stood on Wei Chongrong's side before, and felt that Guo'er was too naughty and should teach him a lesson. Seeing his pitiful appearance, he was a little soft-hearted. He picked him up while testing. He opened his mouth: "Brother Rong, how about—"
Wei Chongrong knew what Junhua was going to say, and reminded: "The city gates are blocked, how can Dingyuan Hou know?"
Jun Hua could only give Guo'er a sympathetic glance and touched his soft golden hair. It wasn't that I didn't save you.
The soldiers guarding the city of Hela are probably the most inexplicable people today. They first received orders to block the city gates and strictly investigate all those who brought their children out of the city. They didn't know what happened, but they just followed the order. Unfortunately, there were many people entering and leaving the city today, which caused dissatisfaction among the people. What's even more confusing is that the new order has come down before the person with the child wants to leave the city, and the city gate does not need to be blocked.
Caused such serious consequences, as the initiator of the whole thing, as soon as Guo'er returned home, he was severely lectured by Sanar. First, he was spanked so much that he couldn't sit still, and then he was confined to the house for three months, and he was locked in the house every day to write big characters.
Jun Hua was stunned when he heard the news, "Auntie" is really fierce, even more fierce than his father. He also liked to cause trouble when he was a child, but his father never punished him very much. As miserable as fruit.
Wei Chongrong heard Junhua's muttering, and secretly slandered in his heart, it's not that the Marquis of Zhaoyang doesn't want to punish you, it's because you are guarded by King Changning. Not my homework done for you.
Junhua also asked Wei Chongrong how he could guess that Guoer went to the backstage and not somewhere else.
Wei Chongrong smiled without saying a word, insisting that it was intuition. He thought that Junhua might have forgotten that he made the same mistake when he was a child, and he was inspired by him to guess Guoer's whereabouts.
Wei Chongrong and Junhua stayed in Hella City for two days, and then went back to the Wusu Prairie to hunt. The two gained a lot from their trip. Junhua sent all the prey he caught to Guoer to express his sympathy for him, and then followed Wei Chongrong back to Qingjia.
Qingjia is the state capital of Lingzhou, and the original palace was converted into the official residence of the Grand Governor. In terms of rank, the governors and governors of each state are of the third grade, but in border states, the governors usually have more influence than governors, because the enemy is too close.
The current commander-in-chief of Lingzhou is still Huo Qingyang, and Wei Chongrong is a general under his command, but Huo Qingyang returned to Yujing a few years ago. Consider the Prince of Qin as an ordinary general.
Junhua heard that this was the place where Wei Chongrong lived when he was a child, and was very interested, and dragged him around. Wei Chongrong walked with him and introduced him to where he was beaten by Xianhan with a slingshot, and where he was frightened by Pei Di with a vicious dog...
Junhua was amazed after listening to it: "Brother Rong, you have a good memory. You can still remember things when you were three or four years old."
Wei Chongrong was speechless. This is not the point. He clearly wanted to show his "powerful and unyielding" spirit of resistance, but Junhua didn't realize it at all. It was a waste of his expression.
The tenth day of the seventh lunar month was Wei Ming's Longevity Festival. Because Tuoba Xianhan was about to return to Beijing to marry Huo Yingying, Wei Chongrong specially asked him to bring back a lot of specialties. In Dayan's longevity festivals, gifts from members of the royal family are counted on a per capita basis. Although his Wei Zhao will definitely be prepared, Lingzhou's ginseng, deer antler and other things are famous throughout the country. out of your own mind.
The Qixi Festival is only a few days after Tuoba Xianhan left. The naturalized Fuyu people did not have this festival at first, but the Han people who moved from Guannei had to celebrate the Qixi Festival. Not as good as the crowd.
Junhua is also looking forward to Qixi Festival. He also thought about going out to watch the lanterns with Wei Chongrong at night. Unexpectedly, when I woke up in the morning, I didn't see him. I asked the servants in the house, and they all said that the prince went out before dawn, and no one knew where he went.
Junhua suddenly became dejected, what's the point of a person's Qixi Festival. A few days ago, Wei Chongrong said that he wanted to think about it, and since then he has been doing everything as usual. He thought he would figure it out soon, but it turned out that he was just embarrassed to reject him.
After having breakfast alone, Junhua returned to his room listlessly, just about to make up for some sleep, when he suddenly found a delicate mask beside the pillow. The kind that money can buy.
He picked up the mask curiously, and found a note pressed under it, with two large characters written on it, "Liu Shaotou on the moon, people make an appointment after dusk." It was Wei Chongrong's handwriting, which was difficult for others to imitate.
Jun Hua raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe what he saw. He read it several times before he dared to confirm that it wasn't that he saw it wrong, but that Wei Chongrong really gave him this mask and asked him out. Watch the lanterns together at night.
After a long time, Junhua picked up the mask and held it tightly to his chest, and suddenly laughed, like a star.
For the whole day, he didn't know how time passed, and he didn't remember what he did, as if he just got the mask in the morning, but in the blink of an eye, the sky outside gradually became dark.
After finally waiting until the evening, Junhua took a few bites of dinner at will, and went out with the mask made by Wei Chongrong himself.
Dongfang couldn't help laughing secretly when he saw his hurrying back, the little prince fell into their prince's hands, and he really was powerless to resist.
Because it is the Qixi Festival, lanterns are hung everywhere in Qingjia City, and there are hawkers on both sides of the street shouting and selling Qiqiao fruits and masks of various colors. Jun Hua glanced at him and felt that no one's mask was as good as his own, and the smile on his lips became even stronger.
People come and go on the street, and everyone wears a mask on their face, some made by themselves, and some bought on the street.
Jun Hua put on his mask and walked among the lively crowd with a little hope. He had a hunch that he would meet Wei Chongrong at the most unexpected time, and he hoped that he would not be overwhelmed with surprises, or he would laugh at him all his life.
Junhua walked very slowly. He watched everyone passing by as he walked. The long street was about to come to an end, but he still didn't see Wei Chongrong.
Just when Jun Hua was hesitating about which way to turn, someone tapped him on the shoulder from behind.
Jun Hua stopped abruptly, but didn't look back. He heard his heart pounding, completely out of rhythm.
Junhua has never been seen to make any movement, the man was really helpless, so he had to hold his shoulder with his hand and pull him over.
"Brother Rong?!" The moment he turned around, Junhua closed his eyes in fright, and then slowly opened them.
