Chapter 266: Temple Fair
At night, the capital is as lively as during the day.
The busiest market is when the lights are on, and you can faintly hear the sound of others shouting and selling across several streets.
There are a lot of people coming to the temple fair tonight.
Mi Xia Yao originally wanted to call Zhu Xiuxiu again in the afternoon, but she didn't expect Zhu Xiuxiu to be so powerful.
In addition to Zhu Xiuxiu's brother Zhu Wenhao, who went to the appointment, the friends of the family who had a better game before they were still in the boudoir or had not yet married were also invited.
Pei Xingyuan still had a meeting to hold at night to deploy troops at the border pass, so he couldn't rest assured that Mi Xia Yao would follow that group of people, so he asked Gu Yun.
Guan Chunlan saw that Mi Xia Yao was going to the temple fair, and she was also curious about what the temple chief in the capital looked like, so she simply came along.
So, not far from the bustling market of the temple fair, this large group of people stood in the somewhat empty streets.
The group of people was talking noisily, and Mi Xia Yao was suspicious of the noise, so she simply sat back in her carriage.
Here, Gu Yungang raised his head from the ledger and listened to the lively sounds outside.
She couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It turns out that the arrangement of the temple fair in the capital is a little similar to the festival in Linzhou City, where the shops are not closed all night and waiting for the guests to come to play." ”
Mi Xia Yao raised her hand and touched her bulging belly and sighed.
Her mind sank into great regret.
I knew that the matter of matchmaking would be handed over to Zhu Xiuxiu, what are I doing with this excitement, I can lie comfortably on the mansion, but I have to come here to torture myself.
The crowd over there decided what they were going to do at the temple fair, and everyone got back into the carriage, and the carriage on Mi Xia Yao's side slowly began to move.
Guan Chunlan's eyes fell on Mi Xia Yao's stomach, raised her hand and lightly covered it, frowning.
"Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's just a little boring, it's okay, just go to the temple fair for a while and find a second floor to sit on."
Mi Xia Yao didn't care, she just thought she didn't want to participate in this excitement.
Guan Chunlan could only reply.
The festival is really lively, with jugglers showing off their skills on both sides of the street.
The family members wandered the streets or played small games.
Mi Xia Yao took Zhu Xiuxiu and them to the second floor of a teahouse and sat by the window.
Zhu Xiuxiu's gaze kept falling on the people not far away.
"Although I didn't explain the situation to my brother, I told my brother that this Mi Wei is the person who the Empress Dowager told not to have an accident, and he estimated that the misunderstanding was that we came out of the temple fair to play today, and his duty was to protect Mi Wei."
"You cheated your brother like this, if your brother wants to know the truth, won't he beat you?"
Mi Xia Yao raised her eyebrows, she sat on the second floor, obviously a little more comfortable.
Zhu Xiuxiu snorted lightly, "I'm doing this for his good, even if it's a cousin in the family, they're already married." In the past, he relied on his own layman business and refused to come back, but when it comes to this, he really has to thank Sister Xia Yao. ”
"If you hadn't caught my brother at the auction that day, and let Master Pei catch my brother, maybe I wouldn't have been able to find him for a while."
Zhu Xiuxiu said with emotion.
The line of sight on the second floor of the teahouse here is extremely open, and Mi Xia Yao can even see the figures of Mi Wei's crowd.
These few people are no longer the kind of young people who have young and ignorant minds among young girls.
Today's appointment arrangement, if a discerning person can't understand it, then he can basically give up.
Holding her chin, she watched as the men walked to the pitcher's booth.
The street downstairs is crowded, and the crowd is inevitably surging, and it is inevitable that there will be physical collisions.
Among them, Zhu Wenhao stood beside Mi Wei like a great enemy, on the one hand, he had to be careful about the distance between himself and Mi Wei, and on the other hand, he had to block the physical contact of those surging people behind Mi Wei.
Looking at the whole picture, only Zhu Wenhao was very embarrassed in the crowd.
There is a ...... An indescribable feeling of embarrassment and pity.
Looking at such a pitiful Zhu Wenhao, Mi Xia Yao looked at Zhu Xiuxiu in front of her, and the latter also coughed lightly in embarrassment.
"I didn't expect it either...... There are still so many people in this temple fair today. ”
Here, it took a full hour for their play to go from the street to the end of the street.
I finally waited for the group of people to go up to the second floor of the teahouse and gather together again.
Another half hour passed.
In the end, it was Mi Wei and Zhu Wenhao who were late.
The crowd is crowded, and it is upstream from the end of the street, and the crowd is dispersed, and it is inevitable that some people will be left behind.
Zhu Xiuxiu retracted her gaze with satisfaction, she stood up appropriately, and suggested: "I heard that there is a small river behind this street, and you can put river lanterns at the temple fair today. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, the group stood up again in high spirits, nodding in satisfaction in response.
There are very few people behind the streets, and they don't know that the small river behind them can be lit.
Mi Xia Yao thought about it, and took Gu Yun and Guan Chunlan to the back of the crowd.
A few bright candles were placed along the edge of the river, and the small river gushed in stark contrast to the street ahead.
Mi Xia Yao found Mi Wei, and she tilted her head slightly to carefully observe Mi Wei's state.
"How?"
She asked Mi Wei abruptly.
Mi Wei's thoughts were interrupted, and she raised her eyes to meet Mi Xia Yao's curious gaze.
This sentence has no beginning or end, and others may not be able to understand it, but Mi Wei understands what she means.
She smiled.
"You're trying to ask who I'm doing?"
She noticed a small surge in going to the banquet today, and when she said this, the smile on the corner of Mi Xia Yao's mouth gradually deepened.
It seems that there is a play.
"Of course, you find it interesting to ask." Mi Xia Yao still joked without a head or tail.
Mi Wei paused slightly, as if he was about to say what he thought, Zhu Wenhao didn't know which crowd he came from, he was holding two river lanterns in his hands.
Seeing that Mi Xia Yao was still standing next to Mi Wei, his steps paused slightly, and he seemed to be a little annoyed.
"I knew that Mrs. Pei was also coming, so I would have bought one more."
"It's okay, I didn't have anything I wanted to put on this river lantern, you just have to play."
Mi Xia Yao hurriedly waved her hand.
She looked sideways at Mi Wei staring at the two river lanterns in Zhu Wenhao's hands and was stunned, she vaguely understood.
She casually found a reason to leave Mi Wei and Zhu Wenhao's side, and turned around to find Zhu Xiuxiu on the way, when she suddenly had obvious pain in her stomach.
Standing in place fiercely, Song Qiao quickly felt the strange state of his wife when he was by his side, and hurriedly reached out to support her.
"Ma'am?"
"It hurts a little......" she frowned.
But the pain quickly calmed down again, but Mi Xiayao still felt that the pain came too suddenly.
She walked over again, and in the crowd, she soon saw Guan Chunlan and Gu Yun standing at the door of the backyard chatting about something.
After walking quickly, Guan Chunlan was taken aback, she looked at Mi Xia Yao's face, and quickly understood something.
"I'll just say it, you've walked so much today, you must have to move a little, and you still have to come out this time."
Guan Chunlan couldn't cry and laughed, and stepped forward to support Mi Xia Yao, who looked faintly in pain.
Gu Yun calmly turned around and let the carriage drive to the back door of the teahouse, and in order not to cause others to be frightened and restless, Guan Chunlan helped her sit on the threshold.
