There were two boneless lamps left. Because it was difficult to penetrate the paper ring, everyone waited for about two quarters of an hour before the lanterns were broken and they were taken away.

Lu Mingyu rubbed his hands quietly and kept walking while shopping, not feeling cold. Now that he has been standing for a while, the shore is wet and he finally feels the chill of the winter night. Xiao Huan claims to be good archery skills and has not been able to show it before. At this moment, his eyes are staring at the guy who is going to get the new lights on the other side, hoping to win the lights on his cousin, so he did not notice Lu Mingyu's small movements, but Chu Xing noticed it, remained silent for a moment, and turned around.

Wei Teng stood with the Lu family guards. Seeing his master looking for him, Wei Teng immediately walked over.

Chu Xing turned sideways, and Fengyan looked at the two sisters a few steps away, and told Wei Teng: "There is heavy moisture here. The two girls are young. Go to the lamp building to ask if there is any tea and bring two bowls..." When he said this, he seemed to remember the girl beside him and lowered his head to ask Lu Mingyu, "Does the fourth girl need tea?"

Lu Mingyu's eyes were facing the river. In fact, as soon as Wei Teng came over, she had been paying attention to Chu Xing's master and servant. Although she was just Chu Xing taking care of her sister, listening to the man's low inquiry, Lu Mingyu's heart still felt a little warmth. She turned around and smiled at Chu Xingying, "Okay, thank you cousin."

He smiled well, but his eyes were only staring at the hem of a man's clothes.

Chu Xing nodded and asked Wei Teng to serve a cup to Lu Mingyu and five other girls. After Wei Teng left, Chu Xing continued to stand facing the lake, and others would chat with their companions for a few words. He had never said a few words to Lu Mingyu from beginning to end. Lu Mingyu sincerely admired Chu Xing, a rare true gentleman was beside him. Lu Mingyu bit his lips, lowered his eyes, and looked at Chu Xing quietly.

What I saw was below Chu Xing’s belt.

Chu Xing was taller, a little taller than his father. His black robe moved with the wind, occasionally revealing her white mid-trousers and her legs were long. Lu Mingyu couldn't help but compare with him. It was better, but he felt sour when he compared him. Chu Xing stood out, but she was short among girls of the same age.

After looking at her legs, she couldn't help looking at Chu Xing's boots and compared them with herself. Lu Mingyu unexpectedly found that Chu Xing's feet were several times bigger than her. Lu Mingyu was no longer envious of this. The girl's feet were still a little smaller and beautiful. They were as big as Chu Xing, so how could she wear embroidered shoes?

Chu Xing looked like he was wearing embroidered shoes in his mind. Lu Mingyu chuckled out loud. He heard his own voice after laughing and hurriedly shut up.

Chu Xing glanced at her.

Lu Mingyu raised his head and looked at the other side as if nothing had happened.

When the Lantern House guy walked out with a tray, Wei Teng's tea also arrived. Lu Mingyu held the tea bowl and took a sip, and his body was much warmer. In order to facilitate the fun, Lu Mingyu took three sips in a row and put the tea bowl back. When he turned his head, the guy opposite waved his hand and revealed the things on the tray.

"Please see, this is a pair of eryu horse candlesticks carved from the best Hetian jade. Song's Lantern Building makes twelve sets of 12 zodiac candlesticks every year. This year is the Year of the Horse. We first came to the capital again. The shopkeeper made a big deal and took out the pair of eryu horse candlesticks as the lottery. If it was sold alone, the pair would cost 100 taels."

The middle-aged man introduced loudly, and as soon as he finished speaking, the inhalation of the people rang around him.

Lu Mingyu didn't hear it. She stared at the jade horse candlestick opposite her, her eyes brighter than the stars.

As the niece of the current emperor, Lu Mingyu has seen countless good things since childhood, but the world is so big that there are always novel things she has never seen before. The pair of candlesticks in front of her are a jade horse pulling a jade carriage with a hollowed-out wall of a carriage. The roof of the Ganoderma lucidum-shaped carriage slowly rises, and the top forms a candlelight bracket.

From the jade horse, lasso, coachman to the wheels, car walls, Ganoderma lucidum hoods, the whole piece of Hetian jade is integrated, and there is no trace of variegation.

The jade is transparent and reflects the soft lights. It is so ingenious that Lu Mingyu can't find any other words to describe it except beauty.

"This pair of candlesticks is our finale today. Good jade is rare. Our shopkeeper is afraid of ruining good things, so he doesn't put the candlestick on it. We just aim at the fingertips and shoot. But this time the archer has to pay two taels of silver. Cough cough, it's not that we are greedy for money, why should we take out this pair of candlesticks? I'm really afraid that everyone will rush to come, so we won't have to sleep tonight, right?"

The people laughed again.

"A Nuan?" Xiao Huan lowered his head and asked again.

Lu Mingyu wanted this pair of candlesticks, but she didn't believe in Xiao Huan's archery skills and asked in a low voice: "Can you do it?"

Xiao Huan looked at the wooden ring on the opposite side that was fixed with a half-person-high bamboo pole, touched his nose, and wisely left a way out for himself, "Try your luck." No matter how confident he is in the archery technique, he dare not boast about such a challenge.

"Then cousin, take your time, and shoot the arrows after seeing it." Lu Mingyu whispered. Now he can only count on Xiao Huan. The second brother in the family, Congwen, and the eldest brother has shot. After the lanterns, there is only Xiao Huan who is present.

"If I succeed, what reward do you give me?" Someone rushed up to test the arrow. Xiao Huanman took a careless look, sure that the other party was not capable, and focused on teasing her cousin, looking at Lu Mingyu with black eyes full of expectations.

"Go quickly." Lu Mingyu sneered and pushed him gently. Xiao Huan grinned, raised his head and chest to line up. He walked eastward, and Chu Ying leaned over to look at his brother. The little girl ran over excitedly, nodded to Lu Mingyu, then stopped beside Lu Mingyu, raised her head and begged her brother, "Brother, I..."

Halfway through speaking, the little girl glanced at the jade horse candlestick on the other side, lowered her head, and stopped talking, and was so squeaky.

Lu Mingyu's heart broke out. Could it be that Chu Ying also met these candlesticks? Then...

Lu Mingyu looked at Chu Xing nervously. Chu Xing was good at fighting, so his archery skills must be extraordinary, right? If Chu Xing also came on stage...

Seeing her gaze, Chu Xing turned his head to look at her.

Lu Mingyu avoided it in time and turned around to look at the river. He was a little uneasy, but he was relieved soon. My cousin was in front of Chu Xing. If my cousin failed to shoot, she would have no chance to win the candlestick again. So what does it matter if Chu Xing shot or not? Anyway, as long as my cousin lost, the pair of candlesticks would not be hers.

"Yingying wants a candlestick?" Chu Xing asked in a low voice when he looked at his sister.

Chu Ying nodded, but turned her head to the lamp building on the other side, "Brother, I want a pair of candlesticks for Jade Monkeys, can I?"

She is a monkey, so of course she wants a pair of her own zodiac signs. Just now, Chu Ying ran over.

Chu Xing breathed a sigh of relief and immediately ordered Wei Teng, "You should order four sets of zodiac candlesticks immediately, the princess, the second girl, the third girl, and the grand lady each set."

Wei Teng took the order and rushed to the lamp building.

An ordinary couple nearby heard Chu Xing's words and couldn't help but do some calculations in their hearts. A pair of jade horse candlesticks, a set of 100 taels of zodiac signs, a set of twelve pairs of zodiac signs, a total of 4 sets, wouldn't it almost reach 5,000 taels? His wife opened her mouth in shock and looked at Chu Xing again, just like looking at the God of Wealth. Who is this person? He is so rich!

Lu Mingyu was also surprised, but not because of money, but because of Chu Xing's favor for his three sisters, he took action on one by one...

Lu Mingyu couldn't help looking at the two cousins ​​over there, but saw that they were watching the fun. The second sister stood beside He Yu at some point, holding the peony lantern in her hand, as if she had no interest in the candlestick. Lu Mingyu fantasized about the possibility of looking for her cousin to ask for the candlestick. As soon as the idea came out, she smiled.

It’s different. Chu Xing had already had a salary, and he was the current Duke of the State, and he could control the silver liang of the Duke’s Mansion by himself. His two cousins ​​at home had no responsibilities, and only had twenty taels per month. Even if he saved money for so many years, he could not afford a large expense of more than one thousand taels.

What's more, that's his cousin, Lu Mingyu is embarrassed to ask for it.

How great would it be if I had a biological brother?

Looking up at the moon, Lu Mingyu sighed softly. She was the eldest sister, and only her younger brother asked her for the gift.

Chu Xing was watching his satisfied sister go back. When he turned around, he heard Lu Mingyu's sigh.

Recalling her sister's coquettishness, Chu Xing guessed that Lu Mingyu also liked this beautiful jade candlestick, but he had no reason to give her a gift worth a thousand taels. He wanted to pretend that he didn't hear it. When he saw Lu Mingyu's lonely little face, Chu Xing suddenly felt a little... He couldn't bear to sigh for a pair of candlesticks.

"Miss Four likes that pair of candlesticks?" Chu Xing asked in a lower voice than when he was talking to his sister just now.

Lu Mingyu looked at him unexpectedly and met Chu Xingshen's phoenix eyes that could not see the intention. She no longer said in a daze, "It's pretty."

Chu Xing's eyes moved slightly and lowered his eyes and said, "If the grandson fails, I'll try it."

He, do he want to help her win Yuma?

Lu Mingyu was flattered and too shocked. She covered her little mouth in disbelief and stared at the man in a daze.

Chu Xing was not used to gaze like this, so he raised his head and whispered: "I..."

He thought he was not very sure, but Chu Sui suddenly came over there. Chu Xingguang saw it and stopped the sound in time.

"A Nuan, do you want a lottery?" Chu Sui stopped at Xiao Huan's position and asked Lu Mingyu with a smile.

The two have been married, and Lu Mingyu naturally knew Chu Sui's ability and said coldly and sarcastically: "It's up to you?"

Chu Sui is a civil servant, occasionally riding and shooting to hunt and relaxing, which is quite talented. But Chu Sui is self-aware, so he deliberately stretched out his hand from Lu Mingyu's head, patted his brother's shoulder, and said confidently: "I can't do it, but my elder brother's archery skills are superb and can pass through the glans a hundred steps. As long as you want, I will ask my elder brother to help you."

What a man who borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. Lu Mingyu secretly bit his lips and held back his smile to look at Chu Xing.

Chu Xing was still cold and distant. Seeing Lu Mingyu looking at him, Chu Xing asked lightly: "Miss Fourth, I really want it, I can try it."

My cousin's words gave him a reason to help her openly.

Fengyan looked at Lu Mingyu, and Chu Xing hoped that the little girl could cooperate.

Lu Mingyu really didn't expect that Chu Xing could act, and she acted so well. She quickly reacted and thanked her "excitedly": "Then I'll thank my cousin first!"

Chu Xing nodded, went there in line early, and left Lu Mingyu to his cousin.

"Brother gave me face to help you. Should A Nuan thank me too?" Chu Sui stood in front of Lu Mingyu lightly and quipped in a low voice.

Self-righteous, Lu Mingyu was too lazy to waste his words with him, and stepped on him hard, and then came to Chu Ying and He Lanfang.

Chu Sui looked at her back and smiled playfully. The beauty was pretty and agile, and he was happy to the pain on his feet.

It was Xiao Huan's turn soon.

The young man was dressed in red and had a luxurious temperament. He stood there and pulled the bow and arrow, which immediately attracted the attention of many girls and new wives. Lu Mingyu looked at such an outstanding cousin and sincerely hoped that he could hit the ring opposite. Unfortunately, the bamboo arrow went off the target and flew out of the ring like a wind.

Lu Mingyu's heart tightened, worried that Xiao Huan would be angry with him, so he hurried over to comfort him, "Cousin..."

Xiao Huan knew what she was going to say, and handed the bow and arrow to the servant. Xiao Huan smiled indifferently, pointed to the lamp corridor and said, "It's okay, let's go and buy a whole set." Isn't it just a thousand taels of silver? He can afford it.

He was ambition and passionate, and the brothers of Lu Jiaping and the brothers of Chu heard it.

Xiao Huan didn't care about them, Lu Mingyu was a little embarrassed, and immediately scolded Xiao Huan in his cousin's tone, "You are rich, right? But I just like that pair of candlesticks. The ones I bought were boring."

Xiao Huan was anxious, "But I..."

"My cousin promised to give me a try." Lu Mingyu pulled him aside and pointed at Chu Xing, "Cousin, let me try it first. If he cums out, you can buy me a pair of jade horses."

Xiao Huan was satisfied when he heard the following sentence. The sky was so dark and the fingertips were so small, and he was sure that Chu Xing would fail.

Four or five rich young men took another turn, and no one shot it.

Chu Xing walked to the place where the archery was prescribed for the Lantern Tower to shoot with an expressionless face. He was arrogant, and the onlookers couldn't help but calm down and looked at him with a breath. Lu Mingyu was nervously sweating. She hoped that Chu Xing would hit the target with one blow because she didn't want Xiao Huan to buy her, and because, if that pair of jade horse candlesticks were won by Chu Xing to send her, the meaning would be different...

After staring at Chu Xing's side face, and when he stared at his steady arms, Lu Mingyu's heartbeat became faster and faster.

Just when she was so nervous that she could not breathe, Chu Xing suddenly let go.

Lu Mingyu thought Chu Xing's arrow would be very fast, faster than He Yu's, but Chu Xing's arrow was surprisingly slow, as if it might fall from mid-air at any time. However, it did not. Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the bamboo arrow, as thick as chopsticks, steadily penetrated into the wooden ring fixed at the top of the bamboo pole at an incredible slow speed, and passed halfway through and stopped.

It really stopped, shaking it gently for a few times, and then it didn't move.

At this moment, everything was silent, and everyone was staring at the bamboo arrow, still trapped in a dream.

Lu Mingyu was the first to come back to her senses. She opened her mouth slightly and looked at the archer.

Chu Xing had already put down his bow and arrow and stood up straight. Yu Guangli saw the little girl looking over, thinking that Lu Mingyu was happy to get the jade horse candlestick, and happily asked him to thank him. Chu Xing turned his back and the corners of his mouth were rarely raised. He was also happy to help a simple girl who was eager to win a lottery.

But when he turned around, he found that Lu Mingyu had no smile on his face, but instead was dumbfounded, and at first glance, he looked a little stupid.

Chu Xing instinctively put away his smile.
