At the beginning, Mr. Zhou came to report the follow-up of Liu Xiaoli incident with great interest.
I didn't expect that my wife has such a good memory, and she remembered everything Mr. Zhou said.
Even coughing sounds.
The maid kept coughing and couldn't laugh or cry.
Meanwhile, Cheng Jiaoniang was still answering Qin Shisanlang's words seriously.
"I don't know." She shook her head and said, "I didn't ask my uncle."
"That's..." Qin Shisanlang said slightly confused, but stopped suddenly in the middle of the sentence.
Rape...ahem...
The maid here could no longer listen to the two of them studying the word, and she coughed heavily.
Qin Shisanlang flashed a hint of embarrassment, and then he couldn't help but laugh, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover it up.
"What is it?" Cheng Jiaoniang asked, looking at him.
The woman has a dull expression and big eyes. Although she looks a little dull, she has a special charm.
Being stared at by her like this, Qin Thirteenth felt inexplicably soft in his heart, and at the same time, the hidden smile could no longer hold back and burst out, turning into a hearty laugh.
Cheng Jiaoniang stopped asking and looked at him.
"Don't look at me." Qin Shisanlang laughed, turning his head and laughing more and more.
He turned his head again, and sure enough he saw the young lady looking out the window.
How could there be such a person in the world! How could there be such a...pleasant person!
He is obviously treacherous, ruthless and cold, but he actually makes people feel so happy!
Qin Shisanlang couldn't stop laughing, and he had to reach out to hold the window.
This was the second time tonight that he laughed so uncontrollably, it was so enjoyable!
"Master Qin, you are still laughing!" The maid couldn't stand it and said, "It's all you!"
Cheng Jiaoniang stood up here.
"I'm going back," she said.
Qin Shisanlang hurriedly stopped laughing.
Embarrassed by laughter?
He stood up quickly.
"I'm not smiling anymore." He said, "It's not about saying something, it's about the indecent words. Mr. Zhou said half of what he said because he was afraid of offending you, so he covered it up with a dry cough."
What else are you trying to explain? It’s better not to explain!
The maid stamped her feet and stared.
Cheng Jiaoniang glanced at him and said oh, then stood up and took steps.
"I'm so annoyed. I apologize." Qin Shisanlang said again, lifting his heels.
"What's so annoying?" Cheng Jiaoniang said, "I just want to go back. I've seen everything I need to see."
She looked back and saw that the fireworks were still blooming and the drums and music were playing loudly.
In the end, Wang Shiliang didn't catch up and managed to squeeze into Desheng Tower. Madam Zhu had already disembarked and boarded the building to accompany the dignitary guests who had already booked.
The Desheng Building was still noisy and lively, but Wang Shiqilang could no longer see the beauty.
"Sir, I was told that the private room has not been reserved!" the attendant shouted, "Who did you ask to reserve the private room?"
"It's the girl in the building." Wang Shiqilang said coquettishly, waving his hands carelessly, "Forget it, forget it, I won't have it, I can't see it anyway, let's go, let's go."
He stepped out dejectedly, and the attendant behind him yelled, frightening him so much that he almost fell down.
"What are you shouting for!" Wang Shiqilang shouted angrily.
"Master, where is the Cheng family's wife?" the attendant shouted with a look of horror.
Wang Qishilang was startled for a moment, then slapped his leg and came to his senses.
Others were also confused and looked around. The crowd was surging and they couldn't find it anywhere.
"Which little lady?"
Zhike, who was asked to ask, was confused.
"There are so many guests in this building, we don't even know what they are called."
"She's pretty, doesn't talk much, is a bit silly, and has two girls and a boy..." the attendant described hurriedly.
Wang Qishilang threw a handful of reward money and finally someone remembered.
"Are you the seventeenth young master of the Wang family?" Na Zhike asked.
Wang Qishilang nodded hurriedly.
"The little lady asked me to tell you that she is leaving first." Zhike said, touching his sleeves with a smile, "It's a good night, I can get two rewards for sending a message."
Gone?
Being abandoned like this, I didn't want to leave in anger.
It would be fine if he left, not if he was abducted.
I heard that there are a lot of abductees in the capital during the festivals, and they specialize in abducting the children of wealthy families. Miss Cheng is also a fool, and it is too easy to abduct children.
"You are really disobedient." Wang Shiqilang became more and more annoyed and said angrily, "You can't just wait here! Don't blame me if you can't see these lights!"
Hearing what he said, Zhike laughed.
"Sir, they say they want to go to Tianjie Street to see the lights of Tianjia. Not everyone can see that," he said.
Tianjie?
Wang Qishilang and others were startled.
Looking at the lights on the Royal Street? Not everyone can see that.
"She goes to Tianjie?" Wang Shiqilang asked.
"Yes, I heard this from the young master who was traveling with the young lady." Zhike said.
Young Master?
Wang Qishilang suddenly widened his eyes.
"What young master is traveling with me? Isn't she myself?" he asked.
Zhike shook his head.
"No, the young lady left with a young man." He said.
Left with a young man?
Wang Shiliang's master and servant were stunned for a moment.
"This unruly little bitch!" Wang Shiqilang shouted angrily.
He actually left himself and ran away with another man!
"Hurry up and chase! See if I don't break the legs of this adulterer!"
It was getting late at night, and the frail emperor at Xuande Gate was ready to return to the palace at the request of his ministers to let the eldest prince take his place and enjoy the people. However, the Queen Mother gently reminded the eldest prince that he was still young and could not stay up late.
"I'll be here."
Prince Jin'an, who had been stopping in front of the city wall to watch the lights, said.
"I want to be here too."
The second prince, who had already put on his cloak, also shouted.
"Father, you can also keep a child safe." The eldest prince shouted not to be outdone.
These words made the emperor and the queen mother laugh.
"Weilang is here. You two are still young tomorrow, so you can go back with me." The emperor finally said.
"I want to play with my brother." The second prince still shouted.
"You have been with your brother every day, so what are you afraid of when we are separated?" The Queen Mother smiled and waved, "Hurry up, I have been pestering your brother all night, let him watch the fireworks in peace for a while."
"Go and see the Queen. She can't come out. Talk to her about the fun." Prince Jin'an picked up the second prince and whispered in his ear.
The second prince nodded.
The chamberlain on the side quickly reached out to take it. After accepting the obeisances of the courtiers below, the emperor and others returned to the palace.
As the emperor left, the ministers who were sitting with him at the city gate also retreated. The Xuande Gate became quiet, and the streets below the gate became more lively.
Prince Jin'an was still standing on the edge, looking down seriously. Finally, his eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth raised, and his smile slowly spread.
The wait is finally here…..
On the sky street, illuminated by fireworks and lights, a woman was stepping past the guards.
"Look! There!"
shouted a follower.
He ran away from Desheng Building to Qiaotou, ran away from Qiaotou to Desheng Building, and then ran away again and chased him all the way. Wang Qilang felt that he had never walked so many roads in his life.
He was panting and couldn't straighten up with his hands on his knees.
Hearing this, he helped his entourage stand up straight and looked over.
They have arrived at Yujiekou. There are obviously fewer people here than elsewhere, so they can clearly see the people in front of them.
The woman was looking back at a young man behind her, illuminated by a mountain of lanterns that was brighter than anywhere else.
"This little bitch!" Wang Shiqilang shouted. Before he finished speaking, the young master behind Cheng Jiaoniang also turned sideways and looked up at Dengshan beside him.
Oh, it's him!
Wang Qishilang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was scared to death. They turned out to be a family," he said.
The followers were puzzled.
"Master, do you recognize him?" they asked.
"I recognize that, that's the young master of the Zhou family." Wang Shiqilang said, sighing with relief, just saying, how could he be so unlucky that someone had his fiancée stolen from him.
The followers also breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't stolen or kidnapped. It turned out that I met my relatives.
"But, sir, how can the Zhou family, not being low-level military generals, still get a position on Tianjie?" an older follower thought of something and said.
Yes, even though he is a foreigner, he still knows where Tianjie is.
This week, the Zhou family can actually enjoy the lanterns in front of the emperor on Tianjie?
Is this the ordinary military general family that the Cheng family and father mentioned?
Wang Qizilang opened his eyes wide and looked ahead. He saw that the woman was surrounded by many women, and they were coming from different places. They were of different ages, and they all had the same expressions of joy and familiarity.
"How can this idiot recognize so many people?" he couldn't help but said in a daze.
After saying this, he moved forward, but was stopped by the soldier.
At the emperor's feet, the guards were all armored soldiers. With a shout, murderous intent came over them. If anyone dared to break in, they would be killed on the spot.
Wang Qishilang and others hurriedly stopped and explained that they were here to find someone, and also gave their names to the Zhou family.
"Wait, go and ask." The officer and soldier said, "Back up, back up."
Wang Qishilang and others were driven back in embarrassment and took a few steps back before standing still. They looked up at the street and saw that the woman was still being hugged and laughing.
To be precise, it was someone else who was joking to her.
"...Sister, sister, I thought you weren't coming." Chen Danniang grabbed Cheng Jiaoniang's sleeve and didn't let go for a moment.
"Where did you go to play? Who do you have an appointment with?" Chen Shiba Niang said with a smile, looking at Qin Shisanlang who was still standing aside.
Qin Shisanlang shook his head and smiled.
"My fiancé." Cheng Jiaoniang said.
fiancé!
Not only Chen Shiba Niang, but also the other women were stunned in surprise.
Look, that's how she is, she never hides anything, she's open and honest.
fiancé..
This is the first time I think this title sounds nice.
Qin Shisanlang lowered his eyes and let out a breath. Someone stood up and bumped into him.
"Ms. Cheng."
Mrs. Qin said with a smile, waving the fan in her hand.
"You're here, come on, come on, I have something to tell you."
"No, no, Mrs. Cheng is going to our house." Chen Danniang shouted, holding Cheng Jiaoniang's arm.
"Aunt Qin, why don't you come to my house too." Chen Shiba Niang smiled and took Cheng Jiao Niang's other arm.
"You little girls are trying to steal from me." Mrs. Qin said with a smile as she fanned her hand and followed up, "Why don't you dare to bully me because I'm older?"
Seeing her coming, Chen Danniang and Chen Shibaniang smiled and hurriedly pulled Cheng Jiaoniang forward.
The women on the street laughed.
Looking at the people who were laughing and walking towards the Chen family's curtain, Mrs. Zhou who was standing aside lowered her hands.
You should continue admiring the lanterns, since others take better care of your niece than you do.
"Master Zhou, someone said they are from your family and want to come in."
Mr. Zhou, who was contentedly drinking with his sons and brothers in the curtain, was interrupted.
"A member of my family?" Mr. Zhou asked in confusion.
Everyone in his family is here, and those who are not here don’t need to come here.
"My surname is Wang," the soldier said.
Surnamed Wang?
Mr. Zhou was startled and then suddenly realized, curling his lips.
"If you don't recognize him, let him go," he said.
The soldier responded and turned around and went out.
"No matter what, you dare to come here." Mr. Zhou said angrily, drank all the wine in his hand, and continued to smile happily, "Come on, fill it up, fill it up."
Wang Qishilang and his group were driven out in embarrassment and stopped after a long distance.
"If you dare to cause trouble again, you will be called a bandit!" shouted the officers and soldiers over there, reaching out and lighting them in warning.
Wang Qishilang jumped to his feet angrily, but was held tightly by his entourage.
"Sir, this is the capital city, and we are in front of Xuande Gate. We don't dare to act recklessly," they advised.
Wang Qishilang stamped his feet angrily.
"This guy surnamed Zhou is too bullying!" he shouted, "Let's go."
Seeing him turn away, his followers hurriedly followed him. Two of them walked a few steps and couldn't help but look back.
"It seems that the idiot from the Cheng family is not ignored by the Zhou family, and he seems to recognize many people..." They couldn't help but murmured.
It seems that apart from being stupid since childhood, they know too little about this little lady of the Cheng family...
