In the Orchid Courtyard of the eldest girl of the Luo family, Luo Mingxiang, who was embroidering a hijab, heard the girl's cheerful laughter, and couldn't help but reveal a slight smile on his face.
He raised his head and saw the girl who was walking in the door and said with a smile: "Why are you here just after school?"
Luo Junyao threw herself in front of her, "Sister, there are lanterns in Nancheng today, do you want to come with us?"
Luo Mingxiang shook his head and said: "I can't go, so just go by yourself."
"Why? I came back specially to ask my eldest sister to go with me." Luo Junyao was a little disappointed.
The girl next to her, Delphinium, covered her lips and said with a smile: "Second Miss, our girl is about to leave the court and cannot go out."
"It's because my eldest sister is about to leave the government, so I want to go out and play before she leaves the government."
Delphinium shook her head and said: "That can't be done. The rules are like this. The girl must stay at home before leaving the court. If outsiders find out, it will not be good for the eldest girl."
Luo Junyao was a little depressed. He looked at Luo Mingxiang who had a gentle smile and said, "Okay, whatever the eldest sister wants, I will bring it back to you."
Luo Mingxiang stretched out his hand to help straighten his clothes and said softly: "I don't lack anything. There are many people outside tonight, so be careful when you go to see the lanterns. Although you are at the feet of the emperor in the imperial city, there are people from all walks of life on the night street.
, don’t run around.”
Luo Junyao nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, big sister, it will be bad luck for a bad guy to meet me."
Luo Mingxiang had no choice but to pat her arm gently and asked: "Do you have enough change? Do you want some from me?"
Luo Junyao quickly refused, "That's enough, that's enough. Don't worry, big sister. I'll leave first. When I come back, I will bring the most beautiful lanterns to big sister."
After saying this, Luo Junyao turned around and ran away in a hurry. Luo Mingxiang called her twice but didn't stop, so he had no choice but to shake his head and pick up the needle and thread again.
The Delphinium next to her couldn't help but said: "Miss, the second girl treated you like this before, why are you still so nice to her?"
Luo Mingxiang shook his head and said softly: "Shao Yao was a little ignorant before, but she has a good heart."
Delphinium is a little suspicious, is it true?
Although the second girl has become much more sensible and cute these days, and she respects the madam and the eldest girl very much, but before...
Luo Mingxiang said: "She has been a bit impatient in the past few years, but...do you think she has really hurt my mother and me?"
Delphinium thought about it carefully and shook her head honestly.
The second girl just hates the madam and the eldest girl, and sometimes she is very rude when speaking in front of others, which makes the madam and the eldest girl lose face. But if there is really any conspiracy to plot people, there is no such thing.
While Luo Mingxiang was working as a female celebrity, she said: "She hated my mother and me so much at the beginning, but she never hurt us. It shows that she has a good heart. Now that she is sensible, it will be even better. I will get married soon, shake my head.
If we can do well, my father and two brothers can also miss my mother more."
Hearing this, Delphinium also fell silent. The eldest girl was about to get married, but the lady still wanted to stay in the Luo family.
Although it is said that the wife can live by herself with a dowry, it is always difficult for a woman in this world, let alone a widow with a huge fortune.
If possible, the eldest girl naturally hopes that Madam can stay in the Luo family and live in peace and harmony for the rest of her life.
"It would be great if the second girl could stay like this." Delphinium murmured.
Luo Mingxiang smiled and said: "Indeed, Shake is getting cuter and cuter now."
The south of the city is one of the busiest areas in the entire Shangyong Imperial City. There are several adjacent streets and markets here that form the most lively and prosperous commercial center in the entire Shangyong Imperial City.
Because it is to the southeast of Shangyong, the people of the imperial city are commonly known as Nanshi.
There is no curfew system in Dasheng, so businesses and night markets are very prosperous.
Unlike the West Market, which is close to the West City Gate, the South Market, where the inner city and the outer city meet, has always been a favorite place for the capital's dignitaries and the general public to spend their time.
"So beautiful."
After getting off the carriage on the street with Lan Yin and Lan Zhen, Luo Junyao couldn't help but marvel at the prosperity here.
It's not dark yet, but colorful and exquisitely crafted lanterns have been hung on both sides of the street.
People were walking back and forth on the streets, street vendors were shouting loudly, and from time to time you could see a few foreigners with different hair colors, and there was a faint aroma of wine and the sweetness of cakes floating in the air.
Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, there is still a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus floating around.
People's faces look either calm or leisurely and cheerful. This is the kind of ease and tranquility that only people who have lived in peace for a long time can have.
"It will be beautiful when it gets dark and all the lights are on." Lan Yin said with a smile.
Luo Junyao originally had no interest in lanterns. He only came here in response to Qin Ning's invitation. Now he had some expectations after seeing these.
"Let's go find An Ning and the others. Come on, we're going to be late." Before school, they made an appointment to go back and change clothes, and then meet at Pinyiju in Nanshi.
Lan Zhen smiled and said: "Girl, don't worry, it takes a lot of time for girls to dress up. I will definitely not be late."
Luo Junyao glanced back at her, "Are you saying I'm slovenly?"
"I don't dare, slave. I said the girl is naturally beautiful."
Luo Junyao immediately smiled and rolled his eyes, the stars in his eyes were bright, "You are really good at talking. I will pay you back for what I bought today."
Lan Zhen and Lan Yin were overjoyed when they heard this, "Thank you so much, girl."
In fact, they don't mean to flatter the girls, their girls are indeed naturally beautiful.
It's just that in the past, people were first attracted by her arrogant and domineering behavior, or they laughed at her for trying to imitate her. She was obviously a mediocre person with no talent but wanted to imitate the elegant and elegant dress of other talented women, so how could they notice her beauty.
Tonight, the girl only wore a goose-yellow dress, and her hair was tied with a dark gold braided blond hairband. Her delicate and beautiful little face, without makeup, looked pure and light, like hibiscus emerging from clear water.
But there was something wrong with Lan Zhen's estimation. It didn't take that long for the girls from the Martial Arts Academy to dress up. When they rushed outside Pinyiju, they happened to see Shen Hongxiu and others.
Shen Hongxiu and others were stopped just a few feet away from Pinyiju. The people blocking their way were several young men who were obviously wearing foreign clothes.
No wonder outsiders dare to stop people on the street.
No one expected that such a thing would happen at the Lantern Night Market at the Emperor's feet. Shen Hongxiu and others only had a few girls with them.
At this moment, I was suddenly blocked by several foreign youths, and I didn't know what to do for a while.
The young man at the head was wearing the characteristic clothing of the grassland people, with a necklace made of wolf teeth hanging around his neck. He was quite handsome, but his skin color was much darker than that of Dasheng people, let alone those from a water town like Shangyong.
He is a delicate person, but looks a bit more rough and heroic.
The few young men following him were also dressed in similar clothes, but among them there were two Dasheng people.
The two Dasheng young men looked like they were in their early twenties, and they were obviously dressed like young men from powerful families. However, they did not help Shen Hongxiu and the other girls out of trouble. Instead, they stood aside with a smile and agreed with the foreign youths. .
Luo Junyao frowned and asked, "Those two people... seem to be from Prince Ning's Mansion?"
Lan Yin looked at it carefully and said, "Those are Xie Chengli, the second son of Prince Ning, and Ruan Fu, the youngest son of Ruan Xiang's family."
His status is extraordinary, no wonder even Princess Anyang doesn't take him seriously.
The biological fathers of these two men were both one of the four auxiliary ministers of the current dynasty.
But in Luo Junyao's opinion, that's all. After all, the most outstanding grandson of Prince Ning's family is Xie Chengzhao, and the head of the next generation of the Ruan family is Ruan Yuelou, the eldest son of Prime Minister Ruan.
