Chapter 191: Lantern Festival
The Lantern Festival has always been a time for the people to gather and be happy, visit the temple fair, enjoy the lanterns, and the atmosphere of the festival is the most lively on this day.
After returning to the Shen Mansion, Shen Mei and her mother chatted for a long time, and in the evening, Shen Huainan took Bai Ying back to the house. Today, Bai Ying returned to her parents' house, pregnant with Liujia, and Shen Huainan felt sorry for her little concubine, and she loved her very much.
Shen Huainan was happy when he heard that Shen Mei was back, and helped Bai Ying to see Shen Mei's mother and daughter in the hall, originally Shen Huainan said today that he would accompany Bai Ying back to his parents' house, thinking that he had already had dinner, although Shen Mei's mother and daughter couldn't help but feel cold about Shen Huainan's move, but there was no other way, and now Bai Ying is important to Shen Huainan.
"Mei'er is back today." Shen Huainan couldn't help but miss his daughter when he saw Shen Mei.
"Father, Erniang." When Shen Mei saw the visitor, she responded politely.
Shen Huainan's eyebrows frowned, and he noticed that there was some indifference in the expressions of Shen Mei's mother and daughter. He knew why they were here, so he didn't say much, and led Bai Ying back to the room.
Bai Ying smiled, knowing that today her sister may have been snubbed because her master went back to her parents' house with her, and she was resentful, and she didn't want to add some gaps, she Bai Ying had never been willing to become a resentful woman, no longer stayed, and followed Shen Huainan's meaning and went back to the room.
"Mei'er, look at it, your father is now focused on that woman, there is no man in the world who doesn't like the new and hates the old, and now that this woman is pregnant with a child, the life of our mother and son will be more and more difficult in the future." Shen Mei's mother naturally understands how bitter she is, she never abandons her from the middle of the family, the two support each other, and now the wife of the chaff has really become that white rice and that drop of mosquito blood.
Shen Mei felt sorry for her mother, but she didn't know what she could do, her father probably really loved Bai Ying, and although Bai Ying herself didn't like it, she had saved her life, no matter what, she couldn't do it.
In the evening, Xiao Tao found Shen Mei with a pleasing face, "Sister Mei, today's capital is lively, what kind of lantern festival must be interesting." Sister, why don't we go shopping. ”
"This Lantern Festival must have a lot of people." Shen Mei had an embarrassed look on her face. What comes to mind is the scene of the major tourist attractions crowded with people every year during the holidays, and just thinking about this makes me feel fearful.
Xiao Taoxin was unwilling, and finally went out of the palace once, but it was still the Lantern Festival, of course, he couldn't let go of this great opportunity.
"Sister Mei, good sister, just go shopping, don't you think it's boring to stay in the house, and I finally met the Lantern Festival, I have never seen the Lantern Festival." Xiao Tao looked at Shen Mei with blank eyes.
I really can't stand Xiao Tao's appearance. "Stop, don't look at me like that, you abrasive little goblin." Alright, yes, let's go. After all, she couldn't resist it, but Shen Mei still agreed.
In the capital market, there are lights everywhere, and the shouts of small vendors on both sides of the street are one after another, endlessly, and it is very lively. The two little girls took a keen interest in these colorful lanterns.
"Sister Mei, look, the lotus lantern, and the rabbit-shaped lamp, that one is even better, you see that there is a huge birdcage-shaped lantern, and it can also enter people." The little peach is dizzying.
Shen Mei was infected by this lively atmosphere, and there was a curious baby beside her, and gradually in Xiao Tao's various kinds
In the noise, I also began to immerse myself in the splendor of the lantern festival.
"Wow, what a delicate lamp, you see there are still people putting water lanterns over there, Xiao Tao, let's go over and take a look." Shen Mei pulled the little peach who was staring curiously at the 'birdcage'.
"Sister Mei, slow down."
As they spoke, the two of them squeezed through the crowd and saw many young men and women placing lanterns by the river, and the whole river meandered into the distance like a milky way.
"Little Peach, let's also go put the lotus lantern, how about it." Without waiting for Xiao Tao to agree, he pulled Xiao Tao and walked towards the lantern vendor in the market.
"The boss gave me two lanterns."
"Okay, two young ladies go slowly."
The two looked at the lanterns in their hands and were full of joy.
On the bridge, Mu Qingfeng and Mu Qing have been going back and forth between Liu Si's Lanting Pavilion for the past few days, no, today Liu Si called the two over, drank some wine together, and went back with Mu Qing.
Who knows, today's bustle still caused congestion in the market, but this crowded crowd did not make Mu Qingfeng feel bored, he had not left the palace on the day of the Lantern Festival for many years, and he had to find out what had happened before in the past few days, so he simply returned to his house.
There are very few clues in the case, and the fourth uncle does not let the grass startle the snake, and the situation at this time has reached a deadlock several times, but the situation is urgent, not only do you not have to continue the investigation.
"Third Master, don't you see that Miss Shen?" Mu Qing saw two delicate-looking girls from afar, laughing lively, attracting everyone's attention.
I only heard the words coming from the faint laughter of the two, "Sister Mei." Look at that lantern of yours is about to hit mine. “
"Why, it's obviously yours who is going to bump into me." Shen Mei quibbled rarely.
"Don't admit it, it's just that Sister Mei's lantern likes my lantern, and Sister Mei won't be able to do without Xiao Tao in the future." He laughed as he spoke.
The girl's silver bell-like laughter, accompanied by the gurgling of running water, resembles a cheerful ballad.
Mu Qingfeng stared at the girl, the girl's beautiful face shone in the glow of the lights, hiding all the voices and people around her. She alone is the scenery in his eyes.
The man froze, smiling, a pair of peach blossom eyes were extremely tender in the lamplight, which made Mu Qing on the side surprised.
"You say, this woman's heart is not made of stone, and she can still laugh shapelessly." Mu Qingfeng himself didn't notice that there was a strong tenderness in his words.
"Third Master."
"Let's go." The man looked away, and then changed his mood and became faintly indifferent.
Mu Qingfeng suddenly remembered that when he knew Shen Mei, he really didn't understand how he could be curious about such a woman who fell in love with Mu Lingxuan. Everyone thought that the reason why she did everything possible to make Mu Lingxuan notice her was because she had bad intentions and wanted to become the crown princess.
But Mu Qingfeng knew that a fool like her, where would she have so much thought, otherwise she would be in danger several times and almost lose her life, he could see the strong and warm love for Mu Lingxuan in Shen Mei's eyes at that time, which would secretly arise with jealousy whenever he thought about it. That feeling of desperately liking someone he was envious and wanted to have.
