2401. Chapter 2401 The mystery of Xiao Xian's life experience [15]
July 15th is the Ghost Festival, commonly known as July Half. It was originally a festival to worship ancestors. Over time, it became a customary ghost festival.
As usual, the Shen family also wanted to worship their ancestors, and the princess's mansion also made a lot of river lanterns. They would put river lanterns in the lake at night to worship those who died.
Because Xiao Xian was not here, Shen Mingzhu naturally did not go out. Instead, she held a banquet at the princess's mansion and invited Shen Mingtang, Wen Songzhi, Xue'er, Shen Mingfu, Mo Ruhui, Fei Yunhai and others to come to the party early.
A dinner was held, and then everyone set off river lanterns together.
Shen Mingtang and Wen Songzhi took Zhang Huai and several others to drink and play guessing games. Zhang Huai and Chu Ji were still hesitant at first and were embarrassed to actually drink with them.
But Wen Songzhi started to pretend to be an uncle after a few glasses of wine. Zhang Huai and Chu Ji exchanged looks and started to meet Zhen Zhang. You had one drink and I had one drink. After a while, Shen Mingtang and Wen Songzhi were drunk until they could not be found.
North.
Shen Mingzhu was drunk and hazy, while Wen Songzhi was leaning on the table. In a daze, he saw a girl coming over. She was about the same height as Qiu Haitang. He jumped up and shouted: "Oh, tigress."
coming."
Suddenly everyone burst into laughter. Shen Mingzhu asked people to clean up while they went to put river lanterns on the lake.
Shen Mingzhu personally held a lotus-shaped river lantern with a candle on it. She lit it and placed the river lantern on the lake. She whispered softly, "Good sister Cuiyan, if you know anything under the spring, do you know what I am?"
I still have never forgotten you. If you are reincarnated, you must find a good family. You no longer have to be a little girl and have to block the master's arrows."
She placed the river lantern on the water, but the lotus lantern did not float away, but swayed gently in her hand.
Shen Mingzhu stirred the cool lake water with her slender fingers, and chuckled: "Silly girl Cuiyan, let's go, don't miss this place."
When a gust of wind came, the lotus lantern really moved and swayed into the distance.
The river lanterns they put down gradually drifted away along the lake. When they reached the sluice gate in the mansion, they floated out again, and then followed the river into the distance.
Everyone was chatting and laughing again and setting off fireworks.
At this time, a guard came to Zhang Huai and quietly reported the situation. It turned out that Prince Yan was looking for Concubine Xie again.
Zhang Huai immediately reported it to Shen Mingzhu, and Shen Mingzhu immediately took his people and set off to Prince Yan's Mansion.
It was a cloudy day and the moon was hidden in the clouds. Shen Mingzhu did not ride in the sedan chair, but took someone on horseback, so he quickly arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion.
She jumped off the horse, threw the horse's reins to her attendants, and walked straight into the house.
When the gatekeeper of the palace saw her, he immediately stepped forward to salute, and then sent someone to inform the concubine.
Shen Mingzhu waved her hand, "No need to report, I will go there myself."
She was very close to Concubine Xie and would come here almost every two days, so the servants all knew about it, so there would be no problem even if she went in directly.
Shen Mingzhu still held the riding crop in her hand without throwing it away, so she didn't care and just went to Concubine Xie's yard.
When she walked into Concubine Xie's courtyard, she heard a quarrel coming from the house.
Prince Yan's voice was not very loud, but he was very arrogant, "Then what do you want from me? Do you want me to cut off my descendants?"
Concubine Xie's voice was also very strong, "You have the nerve to say, if you hadn't wanted to kill me and Xian'er, would you still be like this? Humph, this is in line with the saying, the so-called people who do evil will not survive, you
It's your own fault, God punishes you for me, it's really a good retribution!"
