According to Ah Yu, the Anhe Bridge will not collapse until the day of the Lantern Festival.

But Xie Huai'an, who learned the news in advance, was always in a state of anxiety, the most frightening thing in the world is definitely not a bad thing, but the process of waiting for a bad thing to come.

Xie Huai'an is like this at the moment.

After separating from Ah Su, he took Mao Mao to Anhe Bridge, stood at the head of the bridge and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the bridge, he couldn't help but bow his head and said to Mao Mao on his lap: "I am indeed willing to believe Ah Su, but if you look at this bridge, from the head of the bridge to the end of the bridge, there is not even a crack that is a little bigger, I can't understand how it collapsed." ”

The young man's voice was very muffled, not to mention the passers-by who passed by him, and even the person he was talking to did not hear what he said.

Mao Mao was holding Xie Huai'an's calf, and she was sulking at this moment!

didn't pay attention to what Xie Huai'an was talking about at all.

Just in the restaurant, Mao Mao abandoned Xie Huai'an, he had been sticking to Ah Yu's side, and even when Ah Yu got up to leave, he was unwilling to part with Ah Yu. Ah Yu couldn't help but send an invitation to him, inviting Maomao to come to the door to stay for two days.

Xie Huai'an can naturally see Ah Yu's sincerity, although he also wants to send Mao Mao out, but unfortunately in the next short period of time, Mao Mao can't go anywhere else, he gets the Fan family's mansion to live for a while, and even Xie Huai'an, who has a raised child, has to live in the Fan family.

"If I don't help you refuse, do you believe that you only entered the door of the Wen Mansion with your front foot, and my mother can bring someone to the door with her back foot?" Xie Huai'an pulled the 'leg pendant' down, reached out and hugged the person in his arms, shook his head and sighed: "Ah Yu will definitely be very embarrassed at that time, after all, you are an ignorant child, but she is already an adult who knows the world......"

What he said, no one knows whether Mao Mao listened to it or not.

Anyway, the child put his hands around his neck, his little head was dozing off little by little, and he didn't react at all to what Xie Huai'an said.

Xie Huai Anquan thought that the child had understood his words, so he didn't say anything more, and led people in the direction of Fanfu.

As for the Anwa Bridge.

Let's wait until he sends the child in his arms home safely, and then take the guards over and take it around twice!

If he could find the signs of collapse of the Anhe Bridge in advance, he would have to make up a reason to fool people, even if he didn't find anything, it would not be a big deal, and it would make him feel more at ease, and it was worth doing.

Xie Huai'an took people with him and circled around Anhe Bridge for several days, but he still couldn't find anything unusual.

On the other side, although Ah Yu had received Xie Huai'an's help, he was still very panicked.

After all, this was the first time she had really tried to change what was supposed to happen since she woke up from her dream, and she couldn't imagine what the consequences of her actions would bring, so she could only pray for God's mercy in her heart, while silently waiting for the Lantern Festival to come.

On the 15th day of the first lunar month, the streets of Kyoto were already crowded with people before nightfall. The shops on both sides of the street hung up exquisite lanterns early, and the small traders also occupied a favorable position on the street early, and set up their stalls, which were full of all kinds of knick-knacks.

In the past few years, during the Lantern Festival, Ah Shen will not go out, so there is no one to come to Ah Yu's yard today.

As in previous years, Ah Yu gave a holiday to the maids and daughters-in-law in her courtyard, and she took a sewing basket to sit in the inner room embroidering patterns, and the tiger head shoes she made for Wen Ning had been given away, and now she was busy making sachets for Mrs. Wen.

When she was doing needlework, she had always been concentrating, but today somehow, she was always distracted, the patterns on the sachet were not outlined, and her hands were pricked many times by needles, and they were already oozing blood beads.

Accompanying Ah Yu to do the needlework are Qingrui and Aoba.

Qingrui is all about needlework, but Aoba doesn't have that patience, she raises her head from time to time to look around, and every time she looks up, she will see Ah Yu frowning and looking at her fingertips. After many times, Aoba couldn't help but persuade Ah Yu: "The girl seems to be a little restless today, so it's better to put aside the things in your hand and go out for two laps, so as to ease your mood." ”

She felt that she couldn't let Ah Yu go down like this anymore, otherwise the girl might not even be able to hold the chopsticks when it was time for dinner.

Ah Yu wiped the blood beads from his fingertips with a handkerchief, and after thinking about it carefully, he pushed the things in his hand to the side and said to Aoba, "You help me go and see what Brother is doing at this time, is he already going out?" ”

When Aoba heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately put down the needle and thread in his hand, and after answering the yes, he went out to find out the news.

Qingrui, who was doing needlework wholeheartedly, also came back to his senses at this time.

She saw that Ah Yu looked restless, hesitated for a while, and said the same words as Aoba.

"The girl thinks it's too boring now, but she wants to go out for a walk?"

Ah Yu shook her head, she was just a little worried about what would happen next today.

Before the two could say a few words, Aoba who went out to inquire about the news came back at a trot.

Aoba took two heavy breaths at first, and after a while, he replied to Ah Yu's previous question.

"The slave maid just went to the young master's yard, and heard the little maid at the door say that the young master was originally making lanterns at home, but after the people around the old lady came, they took the young master out of the door, and I heard that it was at the invitation of a distinguished guest, and nine times out of ten they would come back after walking outside until dark."

The only thing that can make my grandfather a distinguished guest is probably the father and son of the heavenly family!

Ah Yu was silent for a moment, and suddenly wanted to calm down alone, and was about to wave his hand to let Aoba and Aoba retreat, when he raised his eyes, he saw Aoba spitting out, as if he had something to say, but he didn't dare to speak.

She frowned and asked Aoba, "Is there anything else that hasn't been clarified?" ”

Aoba secretly glanced into the courtyard, and when she turned around, she didn't dare to hide anything in front of Ah Yu.

Just when she went out to Wen Huan's yard just now, she met Qing Xue beside the young master, and Qing Xue was followed by a mother-in-law holding a lantern, and she was going to Ah Xuan's yard at that time. But when Aoba came back, he found that Qingxue was guarding the gate of the courtyard with her mother-in-law, neither planning to let people report it, nor preparing to leave, which was very strange to look at.

At this time, Ah Yu asked her what was going on, and Aoba naturally said everything in 1510.

Ah Yu was a little stunned in her heart, she was quite familiar with Qingxue's actions, the reason why they would stay at the door and not even step further at the courtyard gate was just because of Wen Huan's orders.

According to the development in Wen Rugu's memory, Qingxue and the others will not take the initiative to enter the door, if they are in a state of no one for a day, then when it is nightfall, they will light the lanterns at the door, unless she sends someone out to ask her brother's traces, otherwise Qingxue and the others will never step into the courtyard door half a step.

The lanterns that Wen Huan gave her two years ago were all picked up from the yard on the second day of the Lantern Festival.

But that's because Wen Huan will stand at the gate of the courtyard, watching the subordinates put the lanterns into her yard, and now that Wen Huan has gone out, Qingxue and the others can only stand at the door and wait, and it is impossible to enter the courtyard.

Ah Yu sighed and said to Aoba, "You go and ask them to bring the lanterns in, and you don't have to stay outside the courtyard all the time to look at the weird ......."

Aoba responded and left.

When she turned back, what she was holding in her hand was the marquee that Wen Huan had only done half of this year, and the lamp was blank.

Ah Yu looked at the lantern that had not even been installed with a candle flame, and couldn't help but be stunned again.

The wait is always extraordinarily long.

She originally thought that she would stay in the yard until dawn the next day, but in the evening, Xie Huaian suddenly sent someone to the door, saying that she was invited to go out to see the lanterns together.

Such an invitation was originally too ambiguous, but the person sent by Xie Huai'an was Mao Mao, who was not yet two years old, so that the whole thing looked like a family, and people couldn't really take it seriously.

Qingrui thought that Ah Yu didn't seem to be very happy all day today, so she opened her mouth and persuaded: "Today is a rare good day, the girl might as well go out for a walk." ”

For Ah Yu, the Lantern Festival is not a good day.

She's always not going to be happy about the day.

But thinking about the matter of Anheqiao, Ah Yu felt that it was indeed necessary for him to go out on this trip.

Before she went out, she first walked to the courtyard of Third Lady Wen.

Mrs. Wen sorted out the fur collar on her cloak for her, and said with a smile: "Ah Yu is finally willing to go out for a walk, I thought that you would stay in your yard today as in previous years, and not go anywhere else!" ”

As A's mother, how could she not know the strangeness of her child! It's just that the little girl wants to hide the truth, and she doesn't take the initiative to open up the things that the little girl wants to hide.

Ah Yu pursed her lower lip, but finally didn't explain anything.

Xie Huai'an made an appointment with her in the same restaurant last time, but this time the box was on the third floor, and when she opened the window, she could just see the Anhe Bridge next to the restaurant.

Ah Yu didn't look around on the way here, and when she arrived at the box, she pushed the Mao Mao around her to Xie Huai'an, walked to the half-hidden window, and looked out.

There were several guards standing at both ends of the bridge, strong men wearing uniform black shorts, with a long sword hanging from their waists, and several people stood in a row, blocking the way to the bridge. When ordinary people saw their fierce and vicious appearances, they didn't even dare to come forward to argue, at most they only dared to scold and scold and take some detours and walk over the bridge next to them.

There are also a few scholars who are not afraid of power and want to step forward and scold the people who stand in the way, but unfortunately the swords in the hands of the guards are not a joke.

Xie Huai'an pinched Maomao's face, and in the eyes of the child who wanted to cry or not, he hurriedly pushed the person to Ah Yu's side, he also came to the window, looked at the Anhe Bridge not far away, and said with a wry smile: "If it weren't for my father and my brother who still had important things to do today, I would definitely have been taken back to the house to serve in the family law by now!" ”

Ah Yu looked at Xie Huai'an suspiciously: "Didn't you say that you pushed this matter to your cousin's divination?" Is it because Uncle Xie doesn't believe in this? You should have told me earlier, I could think of another way......" though she didn't know what else she could come up with.

Xie Huai'an shook his head: "It's not really, they will believe it after they know what happened, but before they know the truth of the matter, they will only think that I am bullying others, just like those people who came to me during the day......"

Because Ah Yu didn't know the specific time of the collapse of the Anhe Bridge, so the people sent by Xie Huai'an gathered around both ends of the Anhe Bridge early in the morning, although most of the people who came and went near the bridge were ordinary people, but the restaurant was here, there will always be some gentlemen who will come to drink and eat, and there are always a few of these people who want to pass by the Anhe Bridge, but they were stopped by the people sent by Xie Huai'an, and they will naturally come to him to theorize.

Fortunately, there are no people among those people that Xie Huai'an can't mess with, so by now, they can barely be regarded as calm.

When it got dark, Wen Huan took Wen Hang and Yuchen, the son of the distinguished guest, to the direction of the welcome building, which was the restaurant where Ah Yu and the others were at the moment.

Yu Chen turned his head to look at the row of people standing at the head of the bridge, and was surprised to find that the bridge was empty, which was very different from the sea of people he had seen along the way, and he thought that this was another folk custom that he didn't know, and couldn't help but look at Wen Huan who was leading the way in front: "Wen Huan, there is no one walking on the bridge here, is there any special saying?" He is still very interested in the strange customs of the people.

Wen Huan never looked around when it was dark, and after hearing Yu Chen's question, he subconsciously looked at the bridge, and among the rows of people standing at the head of the bridge, there happened to be people he knew.

Just when he didn't know how to speak, the guards at the head of the bridge had already seen this line of people who were dressed very luxuriously, although they didn't know who Yuchen was, but they still knew Wen Huan who was walking in front.

The guards were accustomed to saying: "We are also acting on orders, today is absolutely not allowed to let people walk on the Anhe Bridge, the sons are all people with status and status, and please don't worry about us and the others, if the sons are still disliked, you can go directly to our young master, our young master is in the box on the third floor of the welcome building in front, you just need to tell the shopkeeper that it is because of Anhe Bridge that they came to find someone, and they will take you to find our young master." ”
