Chapter 132 The Hairpin Disturbance (Comprehensive Chapter)

Huo Guang was stunned for a moment, the muscles on his shoulders tensed subconsciously, and then slowly eased up. He knew that the person behind him was his elder brother Huo Qubing with this familiar feeling.

"What? Can't sleep?"

Huo Guang gave a soft "En", and he was still repeating what happened during the day like a movie in his mind. He rolled many circles on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, so he simply walked around the yard by himself.

Huo Qubing sat down beside him, "Reluctant to part with brother?"

Hearing this question, Huo Guang was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he will leave Chang'an in three days, and he may not see Huo Qubing for a long time.

When I came to this era, I was brought into the barracks by Huo Qubing not long after. In other words, without Huo Qubing, I would not have everything I have now.

Huo Qubing exists not only as an elder brother, but also worries about his future.In the war against the Huns, they were not only brothers but also seamless comrades-in-arms.

Huo Guang's inability to sleep was not because of Huo Qubing, but at this moment when Huo Qubing mentioned it, he couldn't help but feel a little bit sad.

He was even more embarrassed to say that he couldn't sleep because he was so excited that he would marry Bai Fumei in three days.

Huo Guang paused for a moment, then said, "I am really reluctant to let go of my elder brother. After Huo Guang leaves, my elder brother must pay attention to his health when he is alone in Chang'an."

Huo Guang remembered that in the real history, Huo Qubing seemed to be in poor health. He hoped that in the staggered history, Huo Qubing could live a long and healthy life.

Huo Qubing laughed loudly, and then knocked on Huo Guang's head lightly, "Silly boy, it's not like I won't see you forever, so what do you think? Go back to bed and sleep, big boy, mother-in-law."

Huo Guang suddenly had stars in his eyes after being hit on the top of his head. His small body could not withstand Huo Qubing's big palm.

Huo Guang rubbed his head and pulled the corners of his mouth, smirked twice, and said to himself, no matter how hard he tried, his brains would come out.

Seeing Huo Guang rubbing his head, Huo Qubing couldn't help but sighed, "Silly boy, you are a real adult after you become a relative. You are no better than Chang'an in Beiguan. Be careful about everything and discuss it with the princess."

Huo Guang pretended that he was still a child. Although his mental age was already 26, he was still a teenager physically, and he was a handsome boy. In ancient times, he was old enough to start a family, but in modern times he is still I'm preparing for the college entrance examination.

Huo Guang nodded in agreement, but did not speak.

It may be in the dead of night, and this time is especially suitable for expressing the emotions in the heart. Huo Qubing is a general who fights on the battlefield. Although he is not particularly emotional at ordinary times, he is his own brother at this moment. He will leave him to go to the northern border in three days. , I don't know when we will meet again.

Huo Qubing took a long breath, his eyes full of worry, "If you encounter something that you can't solve by yourself, don't start a conflict. The ethnic minorities in Beiguan have a tough personality. They watch, think, and learn more about everything. They can't be tough. .”

Originally, Huo Guang just thought that he could go to Beiguanlang for a while, and he was a little excited, so he couldn't fall asleep. Now, after hearing Huo Qubing's words, his heart felt warm and his nose sore.

"Brother Huo Guang has remembered."

Huo Qubing stood up suddenly, patted Huo Guang's shoulder hard, "It's good to know, go to bed early." Then he turned and left.

Huo Guang looked at Huo Qubing's tall back, feeling a little complicated.

The sun quietly climbed into the sky, sending warmth into the windows, leaving golden halos behind.

Huo Guang has rolled back and forth countless times in bed, and although he doesn't want to get up, he really can't lie down anymore.

There are still three days to go. If it is in modern times, there are still three days to marry a wife. The man's family is busy, not only the groom, but also the parents-in-law, and even the seven aunts and eight aunts. Preparing banquets, all kinds of chores, tobacco, alcohol, sugar and tea must not be left behind.

But at this moment, Huo Guang couldn't believe it. He was going to be a groom in three days, as if he didn't need to do anything at all.

But after thinking about it, Huo Guang snickered, the man's family is too busy, that's common people, who told us to marry a real Bai Fumei.

The palace was already very busy, because Princess Rong An suddenly asked to get married within three days. Although Emperor Wu had made preparations before, he did not expect the wedding to be held so long in advance. Everything was condensed into three days.

At this moment, the most important thing for the eunuchs and maids of the kilometers is to be busy with Princess Rong'an's wedding. Every stitch, every headgear, wedding dress, and dowry items are all in accordance with the princess's etiquette, even higher, even the wife of the harem, Jieyu. As he got busy, he knew that the two celebrities in Emperor Wu's eyes were getting married, and this was the best time to curry favor, so he tried his best to give gifts to Princess Rong'an in different ways.

Emperor Wu naturally did the same. From time to time, he would call in the officials in charge of Princess Rongan's wedding to ask how the preparations were going. If there was anything missing, he should hurry up and get what he wanted. Never be stingy.

Someone was busy for them, but the two who were supposed to get married were very free.

Princess Rong'an and Qiao'er woke up later than usual because they slept late last night.

"Princess, where should we go for a walk today? We are leaving Chang'an soon."

Qiaoer was careless, returned to the room from the courtyard, fell asleep, woke up until dawn, and thought that she was going to leave soon after waking up, and there were still many places to go, so she felt itchy in her heart.

Rong An didn't have any feelings for Chang'an. He lived in Beiguan since he was a child, but he was a little uncomfortable in Chang'an. After thinking about what Qiaoer said, he couldn't think of any place he wanted to go.

After thinking for a moment, he said casually, "Where do you want to go? How about I accompany you?"

As soon as the words fell, Qiaoer almost jumped up happily. She had long wanted to go to the Emerald Pavilion to buy a hairpin and give it to the Princess as a wedding gift. The kindness to her is as great as a mountain, and when the princess gets married, he must express his heart.

"Princess, you will listen to me. Wherever I want to go, you will accompany me there?"

Rong An was amused by Qiaoer's serious expression, and the corners of her cherry red lips curled up in a playful arc, "Silly girl, we love sisters, you just want to go around, why can't I go with you? Could it be you Do you want to go to some place where you can't see the light?"

Originally it was just a teaser for Qiaoer, probably because Qiaoer was really surprised that Princess Rong An would listen to her arrangement so easily, his little head shook like a rattle and said, "It's not a bad place, Qiaoer. Qiaoer just wants to go to the Emerald Pavilion and buy a hairpin."

When talking about the hairpin, Qiaoer's voice became weaker and weaker, a little embarrassed, the princess has everything, and what I can sell with my little money is definitely not a very expensive hairpin, so I am a bit lacking in confidence.

The corners of Rong An's mouth curled up even more, "What? Our Qiao'er has started to learn how to be beautiful now? Does she have a good husband in her heart and wants to marry someone?"

Rong An raised his tone deliberately, and touched the top of Qiao'er's head.

Qiao'er's cheeks were flushed, and the rattle kept shaking, "Qiao'er can't have a good husband, Qiao'er will serve by the princess's side all her life, and never leave the princess. The princess should stop making fun of Qiao'er." After finishing speaking, Qiao'er rounded up Liu Liu's big eyes lowered slightly, looking at the ground, his fair face was as red as an apple.

"Okay, I know, you are the most loyal Qiao'er, the one who never gets married." Rong An said in a playful tone, and still covered her mouth and laughed.

"Princess." Qiao'er heard that Princess Rong'an was teasing her, and said with a small mouth.

Although it is also the first time for Qiaoer to come to Chang'an, she is very good at remembering the road by nature. Living in modern times, she is a human navigator. She can remember after only walking once. She has never lost her way in the huge Chang'an city. .

The two girls bought and wrote what they liked, so naturally they would not bring followers.

In private, Rong An treats Qiaoer as a younger sister, there is no distinction between master and servant, going out with Qiaoer is like hanging out with a best friend, talking and laughing.

Qiaoer recognized the way, and the two soon came to the Emerald Pavilion.

All kinds of emerald jewelry are dazzling. Qiaoer lived in Changming Hou Mansion since she was a child, so she has seen the world. However, the old Marquis and his wife are frugal people, and there are not so many jewelry items at home. Qiaoer saw so many at first sight. Jewelry, eyes bright.

"Princess, look, there are so many." Qiaoer's big round eyes are full of stars. "Princess, look, look, this earring is so beautiful."

Rong An just pursed his lips and smiled.

The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and said, "Girl has good eyesight. This pair of earrings is a high-quality item. Usually, they have to be ordered before they are available. Today is a temporary cancellation of the order, so this pair of earrings is available."

Qiaoer took the earrings and compared them to her ears, she was happy, but what she wanted to give to the princess was hairpins, although the earrings were good, she wanted hairpins more.

"Shopkeeper, take out all your best hairpins." Qiaoer spread her hands proudly.

Hearing these words, the shopkeeper thought of a rich owner, so he naturally greeted him warmly and took out a brocade box from the back of the shelf.

"The best hairpins in the store are all here, girl, take a look." The shopkeeper of the Jade Pavilion slowly opened the brocade box, inside was a red soft cloth, neatly packed with all kinds of jadeite hairpins .

Not to mention Qiao'er, who was already dazzled, even Princess Rong'an couldn't help but widen her eyes. One of the most important family rules set by her father is simplicity, so her jewelry is not as expensive as other noble ladies. There are many, and what I wear on weekdays are just a few simple hairpins.

Qiaoer looked at the hairpin in a daze, maintained a surprised expression, and tugged at Princess Rong'an's clothes, "Princess, which one do you like?"

Rong An froze for a moment, then said gently, "It doesn't matter which one I like, you should ask yourself, which one do you like, we don't have such high-quality jadeite in Beiguan, Qiaoer will buy one now, and make it for myself in the future dowry."

"How can Qiaoer have such a fate, she can wear such a good hairpin, Qiaoer is going to buy it as a wedding gift for the princess." Qiaoer's face is full of seriousness.

Rongan never expected that Qiaoer would have such thoughts and even want to buy her a hairpin. And as far as she knew, the jewelry of Jade Pavilion was the most expensive in Chang'an City, and the shopkeeper specially brought out the jewelry in the brocade box. The hairpin was of high quality at first glance. Rongan was really reluctant to let Qiaoer spend money on such a valuable thing.

"You live frugally on weekdays, save some monthly interest, and keep it for yourself when you get married. Don't waste it. I don't want hairpins."

Qiaoer was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Don't you think that Rong An's gift is not valuable enough? You have accepted all the gifts from the harem, so you don't like Qiaoer's gift?" There was a trace of disappointment in his eyes.

"Silly girl, why would I dislike your cheap gifts? I just hate you spending money." Seeing that Qiaoer was wronged, Rong An was about to cry, and quickly added, "Okay, I want it, I want it, and I want it. Ask for the most expensive one, that's fine, shopkeeper, show me this." Rong An pointed to the long hairpin in the brocade box.

The shopkeeper took out the hairpin and said, "Young lady, you really know what to buy. This hairpin is the treasure of the shop. It is excellent in both quality and style. Do you want to try it?"

Rong An tilted his head slightly, and Qiaoer inserted it on her head.

Originally Princess Rong'an was born with a natural beauty, and it would be perfect without makeup, but after wearing this jade hairpin, she was even more beautiful, and Qiao'er couldn't help crying out.

Even the shopkeeper fixed his eyes on Rong An's head and was reluctant to leave. Knowing that he was impolite, he quickly coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment.

Although they are masters and servants, the two little girls who love each other like sisters try this one for a while and compare that for a while in the Emerald Pavilion.

At this moment, they only have various hairpins in their eyes, but they don't know that there are a few fierce eyes watching their every move not far away.

"Boss, look at what that girl is holding is the treasure of the Emerald Pavilion!" A rough man with a scar on the corner of his mouth shouted at the top of his voice.

"Shut up, are you afraid they won't find us?" The thief boss scolded, and then kicked the gap-mouthed man's ass.

Huo Zui was kicked and staggered two steps to the side, nearly falling down.

Behind him were four or five men who were also oddly shaped, laughing loudly because they almost fell because of the kick.

"Shut up for me too. Keep an eye on the people inside." The thief boss growled at the younger brothers behind him with a bloody face.

The younger brothers behind nodded one after another, not daring to gnaw any more.

Huozui was kicked far away just now, but he didn't give up, and leaned towards the boss of the thief with a flattering face, "Boss, when those two girls come out in a while, shall we go up?"

As soon as this sentence was finished, the thief boss kicked again, this time with much stronger force than before, Kuozui directly knelt on the ground and didn't get up for a long time.

"Aren't you stupid, you are afraid that you won't be caught if you start here." He turned around and said to the younger brothers behind him, "When these two girls come out in a while, you follow me, wait Go to a place where there are few people, and then start."

If you talk too much, you will definitely be beaten. There is a lesson from the past, and the younger brothers behind are afraid to speak. Anyway, whatever the boss says is right, no matter what the boss says, they just nod obediently and be sure.

So a few people kept nodding their heads like chickens pecking at rice, but their eyes kept staring at the hairpin in Rongan's hand.
