Chapter 10 Lantern Festival
Ji Rongjin's heart tightened, her face remained calm, and she turned her head. A man was approaching her. She quickly backed away. There was someone behind her, so she couldn't retreat. She had to go around to the other side of the lantern and leave, but she was wrapped in the middle of the crowd.
No.
"Sir, I don't know you. Please give me permission."
The greasy man chuckled, showing two big gold teeth, "Young lady, you have such a thin waist!" As he said this, he put his arms around her.
Ji Rongjin's heart skipped a beat, when had she been targeted? The comfortable life really made people feel lazy. She almost beat herself up, but she didn't show it on her face.
He endured the disgusting look of the greasy man and pushed his way into the crowd. There were so many people and he didn't dare to do anything because of his obvious eyesight.
Qian Dafu saw the slender-waisted lady being wrapped up by his people and walking forward, her fat little eyes with only a slit between her eyes shining with the hope of winning. She had a slender waist and had money and a house. If this destitute family was deprived of money, his money would be afraid.
Yes, there will be a lot of changes, it's beautiful to think about. He winked at his subordinates and led them into the alley with dark lights and dark fire.
Ji Rongjin saw clearly that all the strong men around him were his. In the past, he had only heard of kidnapping children, but he did not expect to kidnap adult women.
What to do? She kept thinking of ways.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he quickly called to the young man holding the knife in the distance, "Manager Kang..."
Kangtai was guarding his master's carriage on the crowded Yuzheng Street. It was stipulated during the Lantern Festival that people were not allowed to disturb people watching the lantern festival. He could not let the guards clear the way with great fanfare, so he could only walk slowly.
The King of Qi did not deliberately clear the way when traveling, but the guards beside the carriage all carried swords. The common people knew at a glance that they were powerful people, so they all stepped aside automatically, and the crowd watching the lights seemed even more crowded.
Often this is when the bad guys succeed.
Qian Dafu and his men were happy, but they didn't expect that the little girl knew someone. They all panicked and stared at her, waiting for the carriage in the middle of the street to answer.
There were too many people watching the lantern festival, so Kangtai didn't hear Ji Rongjin's shout, he still rode on horseback.
Regardless of whether the little girl knew him or not, the noble man didn't hear it, so Qian Dafu ordered his people to tighten the trap quickly.
Seeing that there was no chance, Ji Rongjin used all his strength, pushed hard, opened a hole, climbed on the crowd and squeezed towards the center of the street, "Guanshi Kang...Guanshi Kang..."
The sound is loud and cannot be ignored.
Someone faintly called him. Kangtai looked towards the crowd on the street and saw someone waving, but he only saw the top of his head.
Who? He wanted to ignore her, but the car curtains were opened by fingers with sharp bones, "Save her."
"..." Taikang didn't react for a moment, and the young lady's call for help rang in his ears again. Now he heard it, as if Madam Ji was staying away, "Yes, Your Highness."
He quickly rode over.
Ji Rongjin was already being hugged by a thick man. He was laughing and talking to the people around him, "My mother-in-law is having a little temper with me. Don't be offended, don't be offended..."
Ji Rongjin did not explain to passers-by that she was not his mother-in-law. She seized the opportunity to wave her arms in order to attract Kangtai's attention, but the rough man was too strong, so she kicked and tore him in a hurry.
Just when the crowd was attracted by Kangtai, who came on horseback, two other men helped restrain Ji Rongjin. When she was about to be dragged away, and she was about to despair, the crowd made way for her.
"Ms. Ji?" Kangtai sat on a tall horse with a knife and appeared in front of several people like a savior Bodhisattva.
Qian Dafu and others were so frightened that they ran away.
Ji Rongjin was thrown so hard that she bared her teeth and shed tears.
Kangtai still didn't understand. With a wave of his hand, all the men who were trying to escape were caught by his guards.
Kangtai stepped forward and helped Ji Rongjin up, "Ms. Ji, what are you..."
"If I say I don't know them, will Manager Kang believe me?"
Remembering that he saw someone following her some time ago, Kangtai nodded and turned to look at the carriage. The master asked him to save people. Do you want to follow through?
From a distance, Yan Tao nodded lightly.
Kangtai understood and glanced at the arrested people, "I wonder if there are any fish that slipped through the net. I will send someone to see Mrs. Ji off."
"Would it bother you?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Then...I won't be polite."
"Ms. Ji, you're welcome." After saying that, he turned around and whispered something to his subordinates before leaving.
He said to Ji Rongjin, "Ms. Ji, please come with me."
Kangtai got off his horse and walked to the carriage, "Sir, we've brought him here."
Only then did Ji Rongjin notice the noble master's carriage and saluted, "Thank you, master, for your rescue."
The carriage door curtain was lifted by the guard.
Ji Rongjin thought your young master had something to say, but the guard whispered, "Ms. Ji, please——"
"..." Let her get on the carriage?
It is not that Ji Rongjin, who came from modern times, forgot that everyone is equal and underestimated himself. The Great Xia Dynasty had a very clear concept of hierarchy. It was not common sense to let a young lady in a coarse ge shirt ride in a powerful carriage.
Kangtai did not give Ji Rongjin time to think, "Ms. Ji, please——"
Ji Rongjin quickly declined: "No... I won't bother you, sir. I'll go back by myself."
When she walked into the wrong door, her attitude was not friendly. When she asked her to cook mutton soup, she paid too much. Ji Rongjin felt that your young master was already very generous to save her today. She didn't want to push him too far, and she was even thinking about how to thank him.
Yan Tao lowered his eyes.
Kangtai cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Ms. Ji, we haven't had time to interrogate the person we arrested just now. What if..."
Could it be that they would take care of this noisy matter to the end? Ji Rongjin felt embarrassed. As soon as his mind relaxed, he followed the guard's arm and got into the carriage.
"Master..." Entering the carriage, facing the ancient dignitaries, should he bow and sit down, or... Ji Rongjin was a little at a loss what to do.
The noble prince leaned on the backrest and sat lazily, his eyes falling on her. His dark eyes made it difficult to see his emotions. Ji Rongjin felt uncomfortable all over and kept a calm expression on his face.
He could just watch it if he wanted to. Anyway, she had a sallow face, and even if she wore a skirt to watch the Lantern Festival, the color of the skirt was very old-fashioned, making her look sullen and not like a young lady of eighteen or nineteen years old.
The carriage started, and the inertia made Ji Rongjin sit down quickly to avoid falling. She held the stool with one hand and touched the handle of the carriage with the other hand. When everyone calmed down, she realized that the noble prince was still staring at her, with long eyelashes.
Black as crow feathers.
For some reason, Ji Rongjin's face turned red when he stared at her, and she lowered her head to cover it up.
She heard a chuckle and suddenly raised her head. The face that caught her eye was as handsome as the bright moon, noble and natural, like a visual feast.
Yan Tao moved his eyes, "Kangtai——"
"Master——" There was a quick response from outside the carriage.
"Go to Tianlan Pavilion."
Ji Rongjin obviously felt that Kangtai outside was stunned for a moment.
Tianlan Pavilion, Ji Rongjin knew, was the top embroidered clothing and jewelry shop in the capital. A set of clothes or a piece of jewelry would cost hundreds of taels of silver for the cheapest ones, and there would be no upper limit for more. Most people would not dare to go in.
As expected, he is 'Your Majesty.'
Ji Rongjin thought to herself that when she got off the bus at the door of the shop, she would say goodbye and go home.
