Chapter 26: The Festival of Beggars

In Shen Yanyu's unwilling resentment and Aunt Wang's unbearable eyes, the auspicious time has arrived.

The concubine does not need to be greeted by the groom official in person, and the Chu family does not dare to break the rules, but they still care about the status of the Shen family, and send the most valued housekeeper to pick up the relatives.

However, Shen Yi and Mrs. Shen didn't even show their faces, only Aunt Wang and Shen Yanyu's sibling brother Shen Yu went to see them off. Shen Yanyu's dowry is even less pitiful, not to mention Miss Shangshufu, so shabby, even ordinary official ladies can't compare.

Shen Yanyu's heart was very sour, she gritted her teeth when she got on the sedan chair, and she almost burst into tears, but fortunately she had a hijab to cover her face, so that no one could see her so depressed.

The sedan chair quickly left the Shen Mansion and was carried in the direction of the Chu family, Shen Yantan glanced at it from a distance, and then turned around and went back to his courtyard.

It won't be long before the Chu family will find out that Shen Yanyu has been given up by Shen Yi, and the Chu family's plan to use the Shen family to protect and ascend will also be completely frustrated.

At that time, Shen Yanyu's days will only be more difficult than imagined.

However, this is not worthy of sympathy, people like Chu Yi are greedy for power and lust, and Shen Yanyu and Aunt Wang regard him as a sweetheart. The choices they make, whether good or bad, always have to be endured, Shen Yanyu and Aunt Wang are not good at heart, and their skills are not as good as others, so they can only suffer by themselves.

Shen Yanyu had already paid the price, and Shen Yantan didn't bother to care anymore, so he took back his thoughts and seriously pondered the upcoming begging festival.

Two or three days passed in a flash, and on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, the streets and alleys of Yejing were lively.

The street is full of people, the shops and vendors along the street are constantly shouting, all kinds of ornaments and food are available, at night, it is more a lantern color, fire trees and silver flowers, lively and beautiful, people come and go no less than the day.

At this time of year, the ladies who rarely go out in the boudoir come out, and it is rare that they do not shy away from it, and they can walk on the street openly and blend into the crowd to relax, and such an opportunity is rare.

Yes, this has almost become a conventional rule, but if you are willing to go out, your parents will not deliberately block it, but the ladies are more expensive than ordinary women, even when they go out, they also have to wear veils, and they are accompanied by a large number of maids and servants.

The Shen family had just experienced Shen Yanyu's incident, and Shen Yi was still angry, and he was not even in the mood to take a few young ladies out to play with Mrs. Shen.

It's just that in the end, it's so lively, she doesn't go herself, and she can't stop others from going.

It just so happened that Shen Yanran also wanted to leave the house, and Shen Yantan was with her, but Shen Yanran has always regarded herself as a concubine, and she doesn't look down on Shen Yantan's sisters, and after meeting a few young ladies with good friends halfway, she is even more unwilling to go shopping with Shen Yantan.

Shen Yantan heard her intentional or unintentional exclusion, and deliberately delayed for a while before timidly speaking, and offered to say that he wanted to see the river lantern. Shen Yanran was really happy when she heard this, and said that the place they were going to was on the other side, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth, so she dumped Shen Yantan and asked her to go to see the lights by herself.

Fortunately, she was also afraid that something would happen to Shen Yantan, so she waved her hand and dialed two servants and two guards to follow, so she pulled her friend and turned around and left.
