Chapter 43: A Chance Encounter at the Lantern Banquet

It's the day of the Zhao family's banquet.

Xie went to greet his mother-in-law early, and took his daughter out of the house to the banquet in the Sumu Hou Mansion.

After getting into the carriage, Xie's eyes fell on his daughter for a moment.

I'm afraid that I missed a moment.

"Zhaozhao, you wait."

She knows the difficulties of her parents.

On the contrary, he comforted his mother, "Mother don't worry, grandmother has never been short of food and drink." ”

The carriage of Chengenbo Mansion went along the long street to the Sumu Hou Mansion.

Zhao ordered people to wait at the door early.

She was busy staring at the subordinates early in the morning, carefully tidying up.

The mat is also taken care of by himself.

I'm afraid that someone has something in mind.

Fortunately, some available manpower has been brought back to my side.

Because of her injuries, Mrs. Mu doesn't come out to walk around now.

The size of the family is now controlled by her grandmother and the second lady Xu.

The Xu family knew that the sister-in-law Zhao was going to invite the Ye family to the third room today.

Simply closed the door to thank the guests.

She didn't want to go up and have fun.

I didn't help the Zhao family before, so naturally I don't have the reason to be a good person now.

Xu didn't come, but Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

The maid spread the word that the carriage of Bofu had arrived.

Zhao personally went out to greet him.

Wang's mother got out of the carriage first, turned around and went to help Xie.

Ye Jingzhao got out of the carriage after his mother.

"Mrs. Mu."

"Third Lady Ye."

The two smiled and saluted.

Ye Jingzhao blessed his body and called, "Mrs. Mu." ”

Zhao nodded in satisfaction and welcomed the mother and daughter into the door.

Ye Jingzhao followed behind, listening to his mother talking and laughing with the Zhao family.

I was stunned.

I think of my past life, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes.

But she heard about it later.

By the time she heard about the Zhao family, the Zhao family was gone.

At that time, Mu Yanzong was transferred abroad and was not in Kyoto.

Mrs. Mu and Master Xue forced the Zhao family to remarry.

She didn't know the details.

Zhao didn't rely on it before, but later, for some reason, Zhao agreed.

On that day, a group of small women dressed in festive clothes beat gongs and drums and carried a red wedding sedan chair.

The big red sedan chair fell at the back door of the Hou Mansion.

The main entrance of the Hou Mansion is deserted, and the bustle at the back door is the same.

Worlds apart.

Zhao was carried into the sedan chair.

That night, Zhao took a short blade and stabbed Master Xue first, seeing that he was not breathing, the Xue family came in in a panic.

While everyone was in a hurry, Zhao wiped the short blade stained with Old Man Xue's blood with a white handkerchief.

Eventually, the short blade stabbed straight into the heart.

Zhao was out of breath on the spot.

The Zhao family called the Xie mother and daughter today.

It's just that I want to judge the size for Ye Jingzhao.

The mat is also in the big room.

While eating, Zhao suddenly proposed, "You must not have taken a closer look in Kyoto when you came back, but it just so happens that Yong'an Lane in Beicheng is an annual light feast, so let's go shopping together." ”

This Yongcheng Lane is a place rich in lamps and fireworks.

In recent years, such a banquet has been held every year.

In order to drive the business of various merchants in the next year.

"This ......"

Xie was worried about causing trouble to the Zhao family, and he was afraid that he would return home late, and the old lady would have trouble.

Zhao guessed Xie Shi's thoughts, and said, "Don't worry about the side, just have fun today, and I'll personally send you back." ”

Seeing that Zhao's invitation was very sincere, Xie's resignation was a little unreasonable.

He looked at his daughter again, afraid that she would not join in the fun.

In addition, the young lady of the high-ranking family in Kyoto does not go to join in the fun.

"Mother, Mrs. Mu is kindly invited, it's not appropriate not to go, but coincidentally, my daughter hasn't been to see the light banquet in Yong'an Lane, so why don't you go."

"Okay."

Xie Shi said and looked at Zhao, "I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

"There's no need to be so polite, I'll immediately order someone to prepare the carriage and horses, etc., and let's go shopping later."

Zhao also instructed his mother-in-law to clean up the west wing.

Let Xie take Ye Jingzhao to rest.

Xie is not sleepy, and Ye Jingzhao is not sleepy.

couldn't stand the reason that it was easy to get sleepy after sitting for a long time, and after sitting for a while, Ye Jingzhao fell asleep.

Xie went to chat with Zhao.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was still bright.

The carriage accompanied the servant, and the little maid and the maid were all ready.

Zhao came to invite.

Xie took his daughter out and thanked him again.

The three of them rode in the same carriage, the grandmother and maid followed on both sides of the carriage, and the little maid stayed at the end.

When I arrived at Yong'an Lane, the sky was getting dark.

The lanterns under the eaves of the long street have been lit.

On the small stalls on both sides of the long street, there are also all kinds of lanterns, either red, purple or yellow, with all kinds of flowers, competing for beauty.

There are also shops selling trinkets.

The carriage stopped in a secluded alley, and the three men got out of the carriage.

The grandmother and maid followed closely, and the little maid guarded around, front and back, left and right.

The number of people in Yongan Lane has gradually increased.

After a while, it was blocked and the carriage could not pass.

The guards patrolling the city were stationed on both sides of the long street, and there was a water tank ten meters away, which was filled with water.

What prevents is misfire.

After all, this Yongan Lane is not like the alley next to it, it is mostly a few lights and fireworks, and it is the easiest to walk in the water.

Just because of the experience accumulated over the years, there is enough water.

But nothing went wrong.

Seeing that there were many people, Xie was worried about his daughter, so he held his daughter's hand tightly.

But the crowd was still too crowded, and after a while, the mother and daughter were scattered.

Fortunately, the mothers-in-law and maids who followed each other all guarded their respective duties.

Not afraid.

It's just a moment of separation.

Zhao didn't expect that this year's lantern banquet would be much more lively than before.

When she came before, Hou Ye quietly took her to visit, and there were not as many people as there are now.

Zhao saw Xie standing on a stone street, looking anxious and searching around.

I don't have the heart to continue shopping.

Walking towards the Xie family, "Don't worry, the close-fitting grandmother and maid will follow, and they won't get separated." ”

Xie Shi looked at Zhao, although he understood, he was inevitably worried in his heart.

The two of them were in one place, and half of their subordinates went to find Ye Jingzhao.

Previously, Ye Jingzhao was scattered by the crowd and his mother, and he wanted to look for his mother, but he accidentally saw an extremely familiar figure around a corner.

Instinctively walked towards the figure.

Only then did I see that there was a burly man, holding a child's mouth and nose tightly with one hand, looking around with a wary expression.

The child had fainted, his body limp in the crook of the man's pinched arms.

saw Ye Jingzhao walking towards him with a group of people.

The man hurriedly picked up the child and turned around and ran into the alley.

"Go, stop the man and the boy!"

Ye Jingzhao didn't have time to react, blurted out, and rushed up with his skirt, and the people who followed behind him were stunned and came back to their senses.

Hurriedly swarmed and followed.

I'm afraid that this young lady will make a mistake, and it will be difficult for me to recover my life.

Red Jujube followed closely behind her own young lady and shouted, "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss!" ”

Ye Jingzhao ran out of breath, he really couldn't run, so he had to stop and take a breath, but he didn't dare to be careless, and ordered people to continue chasing.

Fortunately, the alley was a dead end.

Ye Jingzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fourth Miss, what do you see?"

The red dates eased up, and then they looked scared and asked worriedly.
