Chapter 1681: Encounter in Lin'an (4)
Hearing his hasty addition, Caiwei smiled, knowing that he was thinking of their relationship at the beginning. At that time, Nangong Yi always remembered his responsibilities and refused to marry Caiwei as his wife. He also wanted to take her as a concubine!
However, fortunately, his concept changed later, otherwise, Caiwei would never compromise!
This matter was soon forgotten by Caiwei. After dinner, the two of them changed their pre-dinner habits and drove away. Walking to a quiet place, Caiwei put the carriage and her man into the space, waiting for Baimaohu to pick them up at night.
…
Lin'an Prefecture
The dusty Lord Shen, accompanied by his wife Cui and daughter Shen Juhua, galloped all the way, day and night, and arrived at Lin'an Prefecture. The family stayed in the famous Yuelai Inn in Lin'an Prefecture. The servants also drove the carriage into the yard, moving luggage, unloading cars, and tying horses, and they were very busy.
Accompanied by her mother, Juhua stayed in a high room in Yuelai Inn. It was already late. Mrs. Shen Cui had been in the car for a day and was tired. She was planning to wash up and go to bed after dinner. However, when Juhua passed by the prosperous and magnificent streets of Lin'an Prefecture, she was fascinated by the spectacular and luxurious scenery on the street. She pestered her and insisted on going out to the night market.
Although Mrs. Shen didn't want to go, she couldn't bear to see her daughter begging her like this, so she had to agree. Juhua was so happy that she smiled and thanked her repeatedly.
After dinner, the family of three took the maids and several guards and went to the most famous night market in Lin'an Prefecture.
Lin'an Prefecture is a big city second only to Kyoto. The night market here is very famous, and many shops are open all night.
When night fell, the shops on both sides of the street hung up red lanterns, one next to another, lighting up the whole street red and bright, with a strong sense of charm.
Under the lights, various stalls were set up one after another, hawking one after another. There were so many kinds of goods that Juhua felt that her eyes were not enough. She had to look at each stall for a while. Rouge, enamel jewelry, and peep shows were so dazzling that she was excited like a child, jumping from one stall to another. Every new thing could make her happy for half a day.
Seeing her daughter happy, Cui was naturally happy too, but she was old and not as energetic as Juhua. After running with her for a while, she obviously felt that she was unable to do it, so she asked Mr. Shen to follow her daughter, and she held the maid's hand and went back to the car to wait for the time being.
Today is the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, the annual Double Ninth Festival. In Qing County, every time this festival comes, everyone will put dogwood on their hair and climb mountains to look far away, but the Shen family was busy on the road and forgot about the Double Ninth Festival.
I remembered it when I saw many people wearing dogwood on their heads on the street. Juhua bought a few pieces of Double Ninth Festival cakes and shared them with her father, Xiaokui and several guards to eat, just to suit the occasion. She also sent a guard to take the remaining cakes to the car for her mother to eat.
Juhua continued to stroll around the night market with great interest, reporting what she saw and heard to her father while looking around. Lord Shen smiled lovingly. Whenever his daughter liked something, no matter whether it was useful or not, he would generously buy it to make his daughter happy.
Passing by the snack stall, I suddenly smelled a pungent smell, which was very smelly.
Lord Shen frowned and said, "How can there be such a smell on such a prosperous street? Is there something rotting and stinking nearby?"
