Chapter Seventy-Eight: Fate
It was not very clear from the bridge, but the purpose of their trip was just to have fun, and the group of five did not care very much.
Xia Sihan took her mother-in-law's arm, and when she looked, the river below was already full of people. In the middle of the river was a three-story platform surrounded by torches and officers.
"Tonight, it looks like some big guy is coming!"
Xia Sihan muttered to himself, and someone beside him heard a kind saying: "It's the saint who is coming today, I heard that the prince is personally guarding it, and those officers and soldiers are all transferred from Gyeonggi Guard." ”
I see. In her previous life, she was the daughter-in-law of the current emperor. knew that he was wise and profound, and the heavenly family was majestic, but in the end, he was deceived by Murong Yu, which made him rise to a high position.
Xia Sihan's heart inexplicably swelled with a touch of sadness, and he looked at the bright yellow figure in the high platform in the distance thoughtfully. If the emperor comes up, then King Ning will definitely be there today. Mother-in-law, can she recognize King Ning?
Xia Sihan always suspected that Li Jinyan was the son of King Ning, but there was no evidence, if King Ning could be seen today, then everything would be clear.
But it is obviously unlikely, how could King Ning leave the emperor and come here? Xia Sihan smiled bitterly, and was just about to walk forward with his mother-in-law, when he heard an exclamation beside him: "Come out!" ”
Xia Sihan looked over, and sure enough, the bright yellow figure walked out of the high platform. At this time, the flower boats of the four major money banks all arrived in front of the high platform, facing the group of dignitaries. The lantern boat is brightly lit, each shows its magical powers, the sound of silk and bamboo on the boat, surrounded by beautiful women, and the water surface is sparkling, like a fairy under the moon. It's just that it's all like this, nothing new, Xia Sihan couldn't help but pout, if it was her, she wouldn't use such a vulgar method.
Think that finding a few beauties will make the official family look at each other differently? What woman doesn't have in his harem?
As Xia Sihan thought, the figure turned around and went back after looking at it for a while, and the people behind him also entered the high platform.
"I think these four big money banks still need to put more effort into it, and the officials don't seem to look down on them." Xia Sihan said in a low voice.
Mother Li smiled and said, "Their purpose is just to leave a good impression on the official family, and it is not important to them to win." ”
Mother Li's words are very reasonable, these four are all of the same type, it doesn't matter who wins, it's just that they have an extra name for beauty.
Xia Sihan felt very bored, so Xiaojie said that she was hungry, so they crowded under the bridge and walked towards the market. Tonight, because of this lantern, the curfew was postponed for half an hour. Many snacks have not been finished, Xia Sihan found a relatively quiet wonton stall, and the five of them crowded into a table to eat wontons.
"It's really lively tonight, we used to work at the Lantern Festival, and today I can't imagine that we can go out with the owner."
Mother Wu looked at the food in front of her and sighed, Xia Sihan said with a smile: "The combination of work and rest, today is a pastime, and it is not too late to do it tomorrow, the so-called 'life must be happy'!" ”
"A good life must be happy!"
A light male voice floated over, Xia Sihan frowned instinctively, why is this person here again, it is really ghostly!
Zhang Yunsheng saw that she looked impatient, but he was not angry, he just stepped forward and arched his hands towards them, and said, "The capital is so big, I never thought that I could meet here, it's really fate." ”
"Fate? Boss Zhang is afraid that he forgot that lanterns were laid along the road tonight, but any normal person would walk along the lanterns, and it was not difficult to meet them. ”
Xia Sihan's voice was cold and indifferent, Zhang Yunsheng was stunned, I don't know why she just didn't take the bait, he harassed her for a few days in a row, and left her empty for a few days, he should have missed her very much when he met again, how could he be so cold?
But who is he, naturally he won't admit defeat like this, "girl ......".
"Are you blind? Our host is dressed as a woman, how can we be girls? Even if you don't know her name, you should call her the lady of the Li family! ”
Wu's mother's voice was so loud, and it was not ugly to grab Zhang Yunsheng's face for a while and turn white for a while.
Xia Sihan smiled slightly and said: "The servants in the family just can't see it, Boss Zhang is well-informed, and he definitely won't bother with her, but she is not wrong, I am already married, it is better for Boss Zhang to avoid suspicion." ”
Seeing that Zhang Yunsheng didn't speak, Xia Sihan added: "I have let people find the purse that Boss Zhang threw in the store last time, and I will ask Boss Zhang to take the purse tomorrow, so as not to urge you every day, I am really embarrassed." ”
Xia Sihan's words made Zhang Yunsheng's mouth open wide, and it took a long time before he sneered: "No need, a purse is not valuable, you please, I'll go first." ”
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran away, Xia Sihan sneered behind him, and Li Mu frowned and said, "This person looks oily, not a good person." ”
"It's true that I'm not a good person, mother, don't worry, I'm not easy to mess with." She dared to say this because she was ready, even if Zhang Yunsheng slandered her, she had a way to make that person speechless.
Zhang Yunsheng's little episode did not affect their mood, but on the way back, they almost met King Ning. It's just that Mother Li felt that there were too many people and she was a little depressed, so they chose another way, but they took a farther detour. Compared to the streets of Fangcai, it is much colder here.
Xia Sihan walked at the front with his mother-in-law in his arms, and two carriages came over, four tall horses in front of the car, and more than a dozen followers behind the car.
Xia Sihan raised her eyes and recognized that the person on the horse was Shizi, and she hurriedly stepped aside and lowered her head. Qiu Ling and the others didn't dare to raise their heads, but just stood to the side.
Xia Sihan felt a hot gaze above her head lock her, and she straightened her back and stood with her head bowed. Suddenly, the horse turned and came to her.
"Look up." Shizi's voice made the people beside him tremble, and Xia Sihan hurriedly held her mother-in-law and looked up.
Curtsied slightly, Xia Sihan's clear voice came out, "I've seen the son." ”
"If it's really you, this son will get married soon, I want to see who is better in your wedding dress or the wedding dress prepared by this son."
"The prince has a unique vision, but the women are also sure that they can win."
Xia Sihan's words made Shizi smile, his eyes darkened, and he turned the horse's head and left with a cold snort.
In this way, Li's mother breathed a sigh of relief and almost stood unsteadily. He should be in the chariot. This was the closest she'd ever gotten.
"Mother, let's go." Xia Sihan saw that her mother-in-law was trembling, and hurriedly asked Wu's mother to support her on the side.
Mother Li was speechless, so she could only be helped back by them. Xia Sihan was thinking that it was really stingy to go back that day in this life, and to this day he still remembers that he rejected him.
