Ling Yao was preoccupied and didn't pay attention to her parents' conversation. She came to her senses only after Dongming Ziyu called her.

"Wang Mingxuan? That's right. He is the eldest son of the master. He is very responsible. His character, martial arts, and intelligence are all excellent. He can be trained to be Jing Yu's right-hand man."

As for looks?

Compared with her father and brothers, and the Feng Jinxing in her heart, it can only be regarded as ordinary.

This kind of means that Wushan is not Yun.

Dongming Ziyu saw that Ling Yao didn't think about his son-in-law and wanted to ask, but Shangguan Ruoli stopped him with his eyes and stuffed Ling Yu into his arms.

It was the first time for Ling Yu to go out and ride in a carriage. It was very new. She stretched out her little finger and pointed here and there. She stared curiously with her big black eyes and asked what it was.

Dongming Ziyu found it funny and answered patiently: "This is a tassel, this is a luminous pearl, this is embroidery..."

Shangguan Ruoli sighed in his heart, Wang Mingxuan was good, but Ling Yao's heart was with Feng Jinxing.

How could Ling Yao fall in love with Feng Jinxing?

Generally, women who fall in love with men who are about the same age as their fathers lack fatherly love.

But Lingyao was doted on by Dongming Ziyu, so how could this happen?

Dongming Ziyu was strict with his sons, but on the contrary, he doted on his daughters. Ling Yao and Ling Yu both lacked fatherly love.

Shangguan Ruoli felt that he couldn't figure it out.

I just hope that time can dilute Ling Yao's hazy first love, and it should still be a secret love.

Therefore, every time we go to a place, we try to choose places that interest Ling Yao to play and divert her attention.

But she didn't know that when Ling Yao came to the capital, she and Feng Jinxing came together to play together. The return trip was also about playing, but without the company of her sweetheart, the empty feeling in her heart became even more uncomfortable.

This road is relatively safe. Over the past year or so, the remnants of all parties have been wiped out. Explosives and weapons are also strictly controlled. When encountering several waves of assassins, they only make small fuss and are eliminated before they even get close to their carriages.

In the spring of March, the grass grows and the orioles fly.

On this day, smelling the strong fragrance of rapeseed flowers, I arrived at Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River.

They did not hide their identities along the way. As soon as the mighty team entered the territory of Jinling, local officials and gentry knelt down to greet them.

Jiangnan is prosperous and has been the granary and money bag of the imperial court since ancient times.

Even the clothes of ordinary people are better than elsewhere, and there are very few people wearing patched clothes walking around on the streets.

Chu Yanqing, the prefect of Jinling, was a wise man. He arranged Dongming Ziyu and his party in a separate Jiangnan courtyard. Everything was prepared, but no one else was left.

He knew that those in high positions were suspicious, Dongming Ziyu did not like women, and Shangguan Ruoli did not like pleasure, so it would be better to be obedient, not seeking merit but seeking no faults.

The magistrate of Jinling was a very fat man, and all the officials from top to bottom couldn't help but investigate. He didn't dare to offend Dongming Ziyu and Shangguan Ruoli, he just wanted to send these two giant Buddhas away safely.

Dongming Ziyu ordered that their trip was to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Local officials and wives did not need to come to visit them, they could just enjoy themselves.

This time, there were nearly a thousand soldiers, secret guards, maids and women accompanying them. The other courtyard could not accommodate them at all, so they set up tents in the garden to barely accommodate them.

After settling in, it was evening. Shangguan Ruoli wanted to take a short rest. After dinner, he took the children to see the night view of the Qinhuai River.

The Qinhuai River is most lively at night, when flower boats are a scene, with dim lights and lively singing and dancing.

The business of the flower boats and the brothel Chu Pavilion on the Qinhuai River also boosted nearby businesses. There was a night market by the river with all kinds of lanterns. Before they walked over, they saw from a distance that the place was overcrowded.

There are lanterns and colorful lanterns everywhere. There are lanterns of different shapes and colors everywhere.

Ling Yao smiled and said: "It's really beautiful. It's even more lively than the lantern festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. But it feels completely different from the lantern festival in the north."

Last time she and Feng Jinxing did not come to Jinling, but lived in Yangzhou not far away.

Feng Jinxing probably didn’t want Ling Yao to see such a place where men had fun, so he didn’t take Ling Yao to visit the Qinhuai River.

Shangguan Ruoli said with a smile: "With different customs and habits, the styles will naturally be different."

Ling Yu had never seen such excitement before. Everything she saw was new, as if her eyes were not enough, and her little head turned around curiously.

Seeing her adorable appearance, Dongming Ziyu was filled with joy. He held her in his arms and took the initiative to act as the baby's commentator. Ling Yu was already eight months old and could follow each word of her plausible words.

Shangguan Ruoli took Ling Yao's arm and walked in front, walking neither fast nor slow.

The street stalls sell a wide variety of things, all kinds of snacks attract tempting taste buds, and the hawking in dialect is like singing.

Ling Yu had never eaten candied haws on a stick, and she was greedy when she saw others eating those round, red candied haws on a stick.

Shangguan Ruoli directly took care of everything, and everyone accompanying him was included in the package.

Ling Yao held the candied haws in her hands, stretched out her little tongue and licked it, and immediately smiled. Then, her face was covered with candies as she ate.

They didn't bring many people to the public, but there were about twenty guards and maids. If they were in a nearby place, it would be very conspicuous, but there are many wealthy businessmen and gentry in Jiangnan, and they often bring their families out for shopping.

So no one thinks their lineup is strong or strange.

But Dongming Ziyu, Shangguan Ruoli, Ling Yao, and Ling Yu all have incredible looks, and their extraordinary demeanor still attracts the attention of many people.

"Wow! Look, it's so beautiful!" A childish voice suddenly penetrated everyone's ears.

Children are more sensitive to their voices, so Ling Yu immediately looked over and struggled to move her little body in that direction.

Shangguan Ruoli also looked forward and saw many people gathered in front of the shop. A shelf was set up in front of the shop, and the shelf was covered with lanterns.

Children, boys and girls, gathered around to look around and choose. Then each person left holding a lantern and blended into the bustling crowd, creating a unique and interesting scene.

Ling Yao also saw those colorful and various lanterns, "It's so beautiful, mother, let's go take a look!"

Shangguan Ruoli naturally would not object, took her hand and walked over.

Not to mention the two children Ling Yao and Ling Yu, the accompanying little maids looked at those beautiful lanterns very freshly.

Ling Yao pointed to a lantern at the top and shouted: "Mom, look at that little kitten's lantern, it's so cute, does it look like a snowball?"

Shangguan Ruoli raised her head and looked at the lantern. It looked really good, so she asked, "Boss, how do you sell that lantern?"

The owner of the lantern shop took down the kitten lantern neatly and said with a smile: "This lantern is made of cowhide, strong and durable, and the price is relatively low, one hundred cents a piece."

Ling Yao took the lantern and it felt very smooth and delicate to the touch. She said happily: "The workmanship is really good, is it made of cowhide?"
