Chapter 434: A Chance Encounter
A few people went to several more stalls, all of which were paved that could not be seen during the day, and they had to charge a lot of rent for placing them in these places during the day, and several places could not be placed at all, and they would be arrested by the patrolling city guards.
But there is no such concern at night, celebrating with the people, in order to celebrate the Chinese Valentine's Day, but also to show his strength, Chang Yuan specially decreed, tonight is a city that never sleeps, the people except for not causing trouble, there are no rules, usually can not set up stalls can be placed at will, and do not charge any rent, as long as they clean up the place where they stay when they leave.
This is also the reason why there are so many small stalls and vendors today.
Even people who are more than ten miles away in the countryside will deliberately pick up things to sell in the capital.
Setting up a stall here overnight is enough for them to earn half a month's income, and without him, the flow of people is too large.
Although the snacks on the street were not attractive, Ning Qingxi also bought some and blended into the smiling crowd.
broke a few pieces with her hands, and stuffed the others that couldn't be eaten directly into her father.
Walking all the way, she not only bought bracelets, jewelry, earrings, headdresses, purses, clothes, but also bought a lot of food.
Walking all the way, constantly shopping, Ning Qingxi would not feel tired, and suddenly saw a stall selling masks in front of him, Ning Qingxi's eyes lit up, "Milk! Let's go there and see."
Wang Xiujuan looked at Lai Pozi, who was a little bored on the way, "If you want to go to other places, go ahead, let's meet at the carriage later."
Lai Pozi had already wanted to leave, and the places Ning Qingxi went to were not what she liked to visit, but it was just difficult to speak.
As soon as Wang Xiujuan said this, she immediately replied, "Okay, then let's go to West Street for a walk."
As he spoke, he greeted Ning Changrong and the others, and took his son and daughter-in-law away.
West Street is a relatively common place, and the things sold will be cheaper, and the family is not short of money, but Lai Pozi is still used to frugality.
Several people came to the mask stall, where many customers were choosing their favorite masks.
There are various animal-like masks such as fox masks, tiger masks, and monkey masks on the pavement.
A pair of young men and women next to Ning Qingxi's mask chose their favorite mask and left.
Just as she was concentrating on comparing the tiger mask and the fox mask in her hand, and wondering which one to want, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
"Miss Ning?"
Ning Qingxi and Ning Changrong turned their heads together.
When she saw the people clearly, she was surprised, "Why are you here?"
Then he thought of the other party, and now his identity is different, and he said, "I've seen the prince."
The person who came was Chang Wencheng, who had now been crowned the prince and guarded the north all the year round, so Ning Qingxi was so surprised.
"Miss Ning doesn't have to be so polite." He smiled and greeted Wang Xiujuan and Ning Changrong again.
"By the way, I heard that Miss Ning has been named the county lord, if you have to call me the prince, then should I call you the county lord of Antai?"
When they first met, he was a panicked young man, but now he has grown into a handsome gentleman, because he has been marching and fighting in the north all the year round, and his face has increased with a sense of fortitude.
"That's how it should be." Ning Qingxi said with a glance.
Ning Changrong greeted him, "When did the prince come to Jingzhou?"
Chang Wencheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Uncle Ning, if you call me that, then I really don't know how to talk to you."
Although he has not been in Jingzhou in the past few years, and he has not met the Ning family a few times, he has also had a lot of dealings with Ning Changrong.
Of course, there is only communication in the clerical documents.
But he asked himself that the relationship between the two parties should not be bad, and he didn't want to open the relationship between the two parties because of a few words, and he was in such a desperate situation at the beginning, if he hadn't met Ning Changrong, he didn't dare to imagine what kind of situation it would be today.
The kindness of the Ning family to him, he has always remembered in his heart.
Ning Changrong saw that the other party was sincere, and when he looked at him, he turned around and smiled, "The etiquette cannot be wasted." Seeing that the other party showed a look of disapproval, he said, "But today is private time, if Wen Cheng doesn't mind, then I'll call you that."
Chang Wencheng smiled at this time, "I don't mind. Uncle Ning, then I'll call you that."
Ning Changrong nodded.
Chang Wencheng explained the reason why he appeared here tonight.
He has been guarding in the north for many years, and he only came back some time ago, originally to visit Fu Linjun, but he caught up with Qixi Festival, and Fu Linjun stayed with him for a few more days, also to let him come to Qixi to have a visit.
"The queen has always wanted to assign me a marriage," Chang Wencheng said helplessly: "The enemy has not been destroyed, the Central Plains has not yet been reunified, I have no intention of marriage, I have refused several times, tonight I have to take An Shu and a girl to visit Qixi Festival, no way, I can't shirk it, so I accompany them out to shop."
Fu Linjun meant to let him come out to protect Fu Anshu, the two little girls were not safe outside, but he could also see that he wanted to match him with the girl, but he had been refusing before, so he didn't say it explicitly, the queen didn't say it explicitly, and he couldn't point it out directly and refuse.
Ning Changrong hurriedly asked, "What about the two of them?"
Chang Wencheng explained, "I asked my guards to follow them, right next to the ready-to-wear shop."
Ning Changrong was relieved, "Since you are coming out with someone tonight, then we won't bother you."
"Sissy!" Before Ning Qingxi could react, a figure suddenly rushed in front of her and gave her a bear hug.
Familiar sounds, familiar dynamics.
Ning Qingxi was almost out of breath when he was hugged by the other party, "I said you, haven't we just seen each other for a while? As for being so enthusiastic? You let me go, I'm going to run out of breath."
Fu Anshu hurriedly let go of her, and then happily pulled her arm and asked, "Why are you here?" The other party paused and said, "Oh, that's right, it's so lively tonight, how could you not come out? I knew you were going to come out and play, so I took you with me." You don't have to be dragged to accompany that Lu Yun.
Ning Qingxi's eyes looked at the other girl who was walking towards them.
There was a man standing behind the girl, and the man nodded towards Chang Wencheng, and Ning Qingxi immediately understood, this should be the other person Chang Wencheng was accompanying tonight.
At first glance, the other party was everyone's ladies, and politely greeted Ning Changrong, Wang Xiujuan and her.
"This is Lord Lu's daughter." Chang Wencheng briefly introduced.
Ning Qingxi looked between them curiously, feeling as if there was no spark? The queen mother will definitely not arrange for Chang Wencheng to accompany the two little girls out for no reason, if it is really to protect the two of them, which guard can't protect it?
