The lamp is a cube, very ordinary, but there is a two-finger-wide platform at the bottom of each of the four sides. There is a little man made of a hairy monkey on each side, just like a stage.
As the lights came on, Su Bei's lanterns attracted many customers, and the business in the store also improved a lot. However, she didn't have to stay in the store, as milk tea was easier to make than dim sum.
She also wants to go shopping freely.
Chu Younan had disappeared somewhere, but Mu Hui was actually staying in the store, and it was unclear whether it was for business or for something else.
Su Bei took Yun Rou with him for a walk.
The streets were crowded with people and decorated with lights, which dazzled Su Bei. His eyes were sparkling, as if they hid the stars in the sky.
She had put together this outfit specially for tonight.
She wore a goose yellow crepe skirt under a moon-white slanting-collared long coat, and a duck yellow rabbit fur-edged bodice on the outside. Her long bun was adorned with oriental pearls and sapphire beads, making her look charming, fresh and lively.
But she was a little disappointed. She thought Chu Younan would go shopping with her in the market, but he disappeared.
"If you don't tell me, who would think that the girl is a maid?" Yun Rou smiled softly with her hands covering her lips.
"When you're with me, you don't need to distinguish between maids and non-maids."
"Actually, I think you are much prettier than Miss Mo. Although she is pretty, there is a seductiveness in her eyes." Yun Rou's eyes revealed a hint of contempt. As a maid, she could empathize with what Mo Qingying did to Adong and Axi.
Su Bei curled his lips helplessly, "What's the use of being pretty? Take the Flower Festival for example, where young ladies compete with each other, and the levels are very obvious at this time."
I heard that there is a Flower Festival on February 2nd. If you win the competition, you will become the focus of the whole capital. Mo Qingying was the champion of the Flower Festival two years ago.
For some reason, Su Bei also wanted to compete.
The two of them were talking and laughing as they walked through the streets. A little further ahead was a small bridge with a gurgling river under it and strings of red lanterns hanging on the bridge railings.
"Let's go over there and take a look!" Su Bei suggested.
The two men walked towards the bridge. There were a lot of people there today, and Su Bei was bumped by someone coming towards him without paying attention.
It wasn't serious. They could just apologize and go their separate ways. But this person was none other than Mo Liao.
Mo Liao had coveted Su Beishisan's beauty since she was a maid. At that time, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl. Moreover, the outfit she wore today made her look even more charming, even more beautiful than Mo Qingying, the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Compared with the two concubines in Mo Liao's family, she is like heaven and earth.
Mo Liao's mind moved, and he pursed his lips, "Isn't this Miss Abei? The capital is so big, we always run into each other. What do you think this is if not fate?"
"It's bad luck." Su Bei replied coldly and turned around to avoid him.
Mo Liao was choked by her, his lips stiffened, and he dodged to block her way, and then forced a smile again, "By the way, I heard that my little sister and Prince Su divorced, where did she go?"
"I don't know." Su Bei still had a cold face. She was thinking that if Mo Liao continued to pester her, she would hit him.
But Mo Liao was so ignorant that he asked again in a mean way: "Then you should go back to the general's mansion! You are her dowry, and after the divorce, she should take all the dowry back to her parents' home!"
It was as if she was an object. Su Bei was immediately displeased and clenched her fists in her sleeves. She had seen Mo Liao fight that day. His punches and kicks were better than Yaruo's, but Yun Rou's martial arts were much better than his! She was just winking at Yun Rou when she saw another person coming down the bridge. She was wearing a moon-white long gown that made her look handsome and elegant. She blushed as soon as she spoke, "Miss Ah Bei! What a coincidence!"
"Prince Cheng." Su Bei nodded at him. Cheng Shi was a very interesting person. He was a grown man and the prince of Jingnan, but for some reason he always blushed.
Mo Liao was assigned to the city defense army. Originally, Mo Gai Shi wanted to find an opportunity to give him the rank of captain, but after Huang Shi's incident, the military power of the city defense army is still in the hands of Chu Younan.
So Mo Liao is just an ordinary soldier now, and he must salute when he sees Cheng.
Cheng Shi looked at him with a bit of arrogance, not at all like he was looking at Su Bei, "No need to be polite!"
Mo Liao seemed to want to say something to Su Bei, but he heard Cheng Shi say, "Miss Abei, are you going to the west of the city? Why don't we go together?"
Su Bei was a little embarrassed. Didn't he just come from the west of the city? However, she saw that Cheng Shi's eyes were not as vulgar as Mo Liao's, nor as dark as Mo Xiao's. He was frank and open with a bit of shyness, so she agreed.
Let's get rid of Mo Liao first! If we do that, I'm afraid we won't have time to go shopping today.
"I just made an appointment with someone. If you want to go, you can come along." Su Bei walked around Mo Liao.
On the arch bridge, Su Bei and Cheng Shi walked one in front and one behind, both wearing moon-white clothes, which made the two look inexplicably harmonious, as if they had made an appointment.
Mo Liao gritted his teeth angrily, his eyes dark, "Damn it! Bitch! You really think you're someone important, and you're hooking up with the Prince of Jingnan again!"
He thought he could hook up with Su Bei tonight and have a happy Lantern Festival, but who would have thought that he would just be filled with anger.
He walked angrily towards the east of the city for a while and happened to run into Mo Xiao. The two of them didn't get along well in the first place, so he was even more angry than before.
"Brother is willing to be pushed around to go shopping. He is truly strong-willed despite his disability!" Mo Liao sneered disdainfully.
Before Mo Xiao could speak, Yang Zong had already let go of the wheelchair and rushed to Mo Liao, "Second Master, please don't say anything careless! The eldest master's leg will get better!"
Mo Liao knew that he didn't dare to do anything to him, so he said sarcastically, "It is said that the kneecap is broken. I don't know which quack doctor said it can be cured, or maybe you are just deceiving yourself!"
Yang Zong was so angry that he wanted to chop him with a knife, but Mo Xiao, who was sitting in a wheelchair, smiled and raised his hand, saying: "Yang Zong! Back off!"
"Young Master!" Yang Zong growled in dissatisfaction.
Mo Xiao looked at Mo Liao meaningfully and spoke slowly, "Second brother, are you still resentful of me because of what happened that day? I have explained to father that Princess Gao Liu knows Kung Fu, and an ordinary thug will not be able to do anything to her. I see that you are no match for me, so I will not let you suffer any loss."
This was a very high-sounding statement, and Mo Liao had no way to refute it, but he knew in his heart that it was not the case at all. He snorted coldly and said, "Anyway, I don't care about Princess Gao Liu having three husbands and four maids. Since big brother likes her so much, then I'll open a shop and prepare to sell green hats!"
Mo Xiao was not annoyed, but smiled kindly, "My second brother is handsome and has a promising future. He cannot let her ruin his life. How about this, my second brother, help me make this happen, and I will help you find a noble lady in Beijing, how about that?"
