Chapter 169: Return to the Imperial Capital
Although they were not able to learn about the masked man in black who chased and killed Xiao Wei from the uncle's mouth, Xiao Lan and the others still stayed at the uncle's house for a long time at the uncle's request. By the time Xiao Lan and Xiao Wei came out of their uncle's house, it was already evening, and they hurried to the bustling center of the Melbdian capital.
When night falls, the lights are bright, and the night market in the imperial capital is already lively at the beginning. A veiled-faced and graceful girl was flanked by two men who were also very glamorous, attracting curiosity from most passers-by. However, it is only a glance. The water in the capital of Melbert has always been very deep, and it is even worse in this kind of trouble, so those people will only look curiously at the people they find strange, but they will never take the initiative to provoke.
Xiao Lan was not in a hurry to find Situ Xue and Lin Lin, so she took Xiao Wei and Hongyun to the most lively teahouse in the Meldron Imperial Capital. Because Xiao Lan had a very ordinary veil on her face, and from time to time there would be one or two women on the street who were also veiled, Xiao Lan would not look very abrupt. And it has been several months since the "Blue Fairy" made a big fuss in the imperial capital, so no one would have thought that this veiled girl in white was the "Blue Fairy" girl who made a lot of noise at the beginning.
"Hey, I heard that the Situ family's cloth village has been suppressed by the Yingjia cloth village recently, and now the cloth is selling super cheaply. ”
Places such as teahouses and restaurants will always be the most well-informed places. Not long after Xiao Lan and the others sat down, the people at the table behind them began to talk about the recent "big events" in the Meltedial capital.
"Yingjia Buzhuang? Isn't this the cloth village opened by the mother of the eighth prince's concubine? In other words, the eighth prince has already begun to take action against the Situ family?"
"Huh. It's a must. From the time Miss Situ Xue chose the crown prince, it was already destined that the eighth prince would not let go of the Situ family. Alas, according to me, this is really a disaster! It is estimated that the Situ family will be ruined because of Miss Situ Xue," said the man, and sighed deeply again.
"Shhhhh
At this time, another person who had been listening just now also interjected, "Yes! I heard that in three days, it will be the day when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will marry Miss Situ Xue." Miss Situ Xue, that's a quasi-crown princess!"
Xiao Lan smiled without a trace, and then picked up the teacup and took a small sip of tea. Three days later, Situ Xue will have to marry the crown prince? It seems that she came back quite in time.
"Hey, my aunt's cousin's nephew's sister's sister happens to work in the Lin family, and I heard my mother say that the loud noise came from the Lin family's foundry room before. It seems that the little son of the Lin family has broken through to become a casting grandmaster! That is only a sixteen-year-old casting grandmaster! Maybe in the future, the achievements of the little son of the Lin family will overshadow the ancestors of the Lin family. "I can't talk about Situ Xue anymore. Before that, there were very few people who knew the source of the loud noise. Now that he knows the reason through his own connections, he naturally has to show off this news.
"Sixteen-year-old Casting Grandmaster? It really looks like the Lin family is on the side of the Eighth Prince. Doesn't that mean that there is a demonic casting grandmaster on the side of the Eighth Prince? I heard that the Eighth Emperor also intends to let the little prince of the Lin family marry his own sister, Princess Momei. If the entire Lin family is completely on the side of the Eighth Prince, does that mean that the Eighth Prince's position may also be obtained?"
"Uh-huh! Brother Zhang, this topic is not something we can talk about! Let's talk about something else. What can we ordinary people talk about about royal affairs?"
Hear the words. The man who just said that the Eighth Prince might also get that position immediately came to his senses. Then he turned his head and looked around. He was relieved to find that no one had a big reaction. He had really been carried away by vanity just now, if what he had just said had been passed on by someone with a heart. Then his life would be in danger
After noticing that the people at the table behind him had changed the topic, Xiao Lan smiled again. Situ Xue is about to marry the crown prince? In other words, the Situ family is on the side of the prince's position, and just now they said that the Lin family is on the side of the eighth prince, could it be that the brotherly relationship between the Situ family and the Lin family has broken up? What about the relationship between Lin Lin and Xue'er and Situ's eldest brother? It seems that the right thing is really not a good thing! However, in just a few months, Lin Lin has actually achieved such great results in casting technology, which makes Xiao Lan feel very gratified. It seems that it was right to let Lin Lin concentrate on cultivating the casting technique in the first place.
Seeing Xiao Lan holding a teacup and laughing slightly, Hongyun couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Sister Xiao Lan, what are you laughing at?" Do you know that little boy of the Lin family?"
Xiao Lan put down the teacup and smiled slightly, "His name is Lin Lin, and he is an interesting young man." I'll take you to meet him later. ”
"Oh. After Hongyun answered, he continued to bury his head in eating. As for Xiaowei, he has been trying to bury his head in eating since the food came up, and he doesn't pay attention to everything around him at all
When walking on the familiar road to Lin Lin's house, Xiao Lan chatted with Xiaowei and Hongyun without saying a word, but in his heart, he was thinking about the situation in the imperial capital. After listening to various versions of Situ Xue's reasons why he would choose the crown prince instead of the eighth prince, Xiao Lan determined that the Situ family was absolutely threatened before agreeing to Situ Xue's marriage with the prince. In other words, Situ Xue did not voluntarily want to marry the prince. However, think about it, Situ Xue was secretly known as the "gentleman on the beam", how could he voluntarily join the palace?
"Sister Xiao Lan, this Meldi Capital is really lively! unlike our dream world, it is lifeless at night. Looking curiously at the people passing by, Hongyun's eyes were full of excitement. Sure enough, it was right to come out with Xiao Lan's sister to see and learn.
"Yes, it's the first time I've seen such a busy market at night. Xiao Wei's eyes were also undisguised curiosity. Whether he had seen this kind of night market in his lost memory or not, it was really the first time he had seen it in his existing memory.
Xiao Lan turned her head to look at the two guys who were looking around curiously, and said with a smile: "Hehe, you won't feel it fresh if you see it a few times." "She's telling the truth. At the beginning, she did feel quite special and curious, but after seeing it a few times, Xiao Lan completely lost interest. It's not like I've never seen it.
Xiao Wei reached out and touched the "little thing" lying on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's okay." Isn't it still fresh? Let's take a few more looks. Ha Lu Ha. ”
Xiao Lan sighed helplessly, and then said solemnly: "No! Now hurry up for me!" Seeing that the end of this night market is ahead, and then as long as you walk up a section of the official road, you will be the Lin family. If they don't go quickly, it will be a bit troublesome if someone accidentally sees them going to the Lin family.
"Okay. Then let's go see Lin Lin Xiaogongzi first. Wait until tomorrow night to go shopping. With that, Hongyun pulled Xiaowei and walked a few steps faster. Hongyun is not a young man with strong blood after all, he can still tell which is more important.
After walking through the night market and walking a short section of the official road, after making sure that there were no passers-by on the official road, Xiao Lan and the others used their foot skills to quickly sweep in the direction of the Lin family (to be continued......
