Shen Xingwan has been preparing for her wedding recently, and almost everything has been prepared for the wedding, but she is a little uneasy and anxious.
She walked around the yard several times, and Fatty asked in confusion, "Are you unhappy?"
Shen Xingwan said, "I am anxious before marriage, you don't understand."
The fat cat really didn't understand, so he climbed over the wall and went out to play with the cat sister he just met.
When Shen Qingran came, Shen Xingwan was drowsy on the chair.
"Xingwan, wake up quickly!"
Shen Xingwan was woken up and said lazily, "Why are you back?"
Shen Qingran pulled her up and said, "It is the custom here in Yannan that before the wedding, the bride's close friends will hold a night banquet for her."
It can be regarded as the ancient version of the last bachelor party before marriage.
Shen Xingwan suddenly became interested, "So I have it too?"
Shen Qingran pushed her to dress up, "If others have it, of course you should have it too."
By the time the two of them dressed up and went out, it was already getting late.
Shen Xingwan asked curiously, "Where are we going?"
Shen Qingran smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when we get there."
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped by the river. As soon as Shen Xingwan got off the carriage, he was awakened by the wind blowing in his face.
Looking around, there are many boats on the river, setting the entire river on fire.
There were flower boats, and there were also boats where young men from wealthy families took their beauties to play. One of them was particularly conspicuously decorated, with a moon lantern hanging on it.
The boat slowly came closer, and Shen Qingran took her hand and said, "Get on the boat. Let's take a night cruise on the Huaihe River tonight."
The two of them boarded the boat hand in hand. As soon as they got on the boat, they heard the familiar sound of the piano. When they entered the cabin, it was Qin Xuejian, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, playing the piano.
On the side, Hua Yan is leaning in her position, enjoying the sound of the beauty's piano while drinking wine.
Seeing them coming, he waved to Shen Xingwan as if he were a coward, "Sit here."
Shen Xingwan sat over and Hua Yan said regretfully, "I was planning to bring some beautiful young masters here, but unfortunately I was afraid that the prince would be jealous, so I had to give up."
"It's good to have experienced eye addiction." Shen Xingwan said regretfully.
At night, the Huaihe River is very lively, and the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard all the time.
Their ship was large and uniquely decorated. Some people had already secretly inquired about it, and soon everyone knew that it was a ship hosting a pre-wedding banquet for the girls of the Shen family.
After the song ended, Qin Xuejian sat over and talked to her, "Finally it's your wedding date."
"How are you doing?" Shen Xingwan asked.
Qin Xuejian touched her belly, and a gentle smile appeared on her usually cold face, "It's been three months."
Shen Qingran immediately said carefully, "You don't want to drink or eat cold food tonight."
Shen Xingwan was also happy for him, "It seems he treats you very well."
Qin Xuejian nodded, "You will also be happy. King Luo loves you very much."
Shen Xingwan drank all the wine in the cup and said, "People's hearts are fickle, so live in the present."
She knows too well what path Fu Jingchao will take in the future, and no one can guarantee that he will not be tempted after sitting in that position.
Since ancient times, the love of emperors has been the most unreliable thing.
Hua Yan put a hand on her shoulder, "It does take courage to marry King Luo, but I believe you can handle him."
The two of them fucked each other for a while, and Shen Xingwan blinked, "I won't wrong myself anyway."
Huayan took the box behind her and handed it to her, "Take a look."
Shen Xingwan opened it, and in addition to hundreds of thousands of taels of shipping dividends, there was also a land deed.
She opened it curiously and found an island called Qingyu, "Given to me?"
Hua Yan smiled sweetly, "It's an island discovered overseas by a caravan. I personally visited it to see the beautiful scenery and good climate. I ordered people to plant many flowers on the island.
If King Luo dares to be sorry for you in the future, you will go to the island and become the owner of the island, surrounded by flowers and beautiful young people."
Shen Xingwan thought about the scene for a while and found it very beautiful. She patted Hua Yan's shoulder and said, "Sister, this is a great gift."
"Hey, you can send someone over to take over first, and you can go out to sea to play when you have time." Hua Yan said.
Owning a beautiful island, Shen Xingwan's mood instantly improved.
The things Qin Xuejian sent were also very practical. He directly sent a box of gold, saying, "No matter when, money is a woman's confidence."
After joining Shen Xingwan, I was very moved, "Why do I think you are more reliable than men?"
Hua Yan gently lifted her chin and said, "How about beauty go with your sister, and she will support you."
A few people chatted and laughed. Except for Qin Xuejian, who didn't drink, everyone was a little drunk.
The boat also reached the middle of the river. Shen Xingwan got up first and said, "Let's go out and find out more."
Several people went to the bow of the ship. Shen Xingwan looked up at the sky. The moonlight was just right tonight, but her eyes turned red just looking at it.
Qin Xuejian said softly, "You must be thinking of Mingyue."
"I hope she will still be a happy little fairy in heaven." Shen Xingwan said softly.
Mingyue is her biggest regret in this world. She left forever when she was still so young.
No one spoke for a while, but voices and laughter echoed on the river. All the lights on the boat were lit, forming a unique scenery on the river.
Fireworks in the world are the most soothing to human hearts, and Shen Xingwan's anxious mood suddenly became peaceful.
Hua Yan said softly, "The last gift is coming tonight, don't blink."
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a "bang" in the sky, and fireworks exploded and lit up the entire night sky.
Fireworks are reflected on the river surface, and the water and sky are one color.
Many people came out to watch such a grand fireworks, making the river even more lively.
"Who is so generous and sets off so many fireworks? They are so beautiful."
"I heard that Miss Shen's friend went on a night cruise with her on the boat tonight, probably to celebrate Miss Shen's wedding."
"It's great to marry such a husband and have such friends."
Shen Xingwan and his group leaned on the bow of the boat to watch without restraint. When they passed by some boats, many people saw them.
Shen Xingwan didn't care, she just concentrated on admiring the grand fireworks. The wedding was in three days, and her mood would be different from now on. She would enter a new stage of life.
Qin Xuejian was also very emotional. They had grown up together and were about to become mothers and wives.
She will always remember and miss walking together with Shen Xingwan, it is a precious memory for her.
The fireworks were over, it was getting late, and the boats began to slowly return to shore.
Hua Yan said proudly, "I won't go home until I get drunk tonight."
When the boat docked in the middle of the night, except for Qin Xuejian, the other three were all drunk.
Fortunately, the maids of each family were prepared, so they put on their hats and cloaks and helped them into the carriage.
On Qin Xuejian's side, King Min Nan came to pick her up in person. King Min Nan held her hand and said, "King Luo wants to come, but it's a pity that they can't meet before the wedding."
Qin Xuejian said eccentrically, "He is lucky to marry Xingwan."
King Min Nan said very wisely, "I am lucky to marry you."
