Chapter 35 There is always a pair of eyes watching them
Along the way, Bai Shian looked back several times, but found nothing and did not see any suspicious people.
As they were about to reach the market, he suddenly remembered something. Could it be that they were encountering the Qian family spreading rumors again? The few times they had passed by here before, they had always been in a carriage, and Xiaotuanzi had never heard any harsh words, but this time...
He couldn't help but look around worriedly, but he didn't see Qian, but he heard someone calling them.
"Mr. Bai, Miss Suining!" It was a familiar voice.
Bai Shi'an and Li Suining looked back and saw that it was indeed an acquaintance, Zhou Zaiwen who came to inspect the market order.
"Uncle Zaiwen!" The two little guys greeted him with a smile, and then got off the horses one after another.
"Mr. Bai, Miss Suining, are you going out?" Zhou Zaiwen was dressed in official uniform and looked in good spirits. He was even holding a few eggs in his hands.
"Well, we are going to the Ding'an Marquis Mansion to attend the chrysanthemum viewing banquet." Bai Shi'an replied with a smile.
"Uncle Zaiwen, are you here to buy eggs?" Li Suining asked curiously.
Zhou Zaiwen laughed and shook his head. "These eggs... were given to me by the stall owner. He had prepared a whole basket, so how could I accept them? After much pushing and shoving, I had no choice but to accept three."
Bai Shian said approvingly, “This shows that Uncle Zaiwen helped them, so they are grateful to you.”
Zhou Zaiwen curled his lips. "I just did my job. They were too polite. I have to find a way to replenish them later. No matter what, I can't let them suffer any loss."
"Uncle Zaiwen did a great job." Little Dumpling gave a thumbs up, "We are proud of Uncle Zaiwen."
"Good boy." Zhou Zaiwen couldn't help but touch Li Suining's little head. What a good child. Before, someone spread rumors to frame this child. Fortunately, he drove that person away.
He smiled and took a step back. "Okay, I won't keep you any longer. Come to my house and play when you have time."
Bai Shi'an and Li Suining quickly said goodbye to Zhou Zaiwen, but Bai Shi'an still felt that someone was following them.
After getting away from the crowd, Bai Shian whispered, "Sister, do you want to experience the feeling of flying?"
"Fly?" Li Suining's face was full of curiosity.
"Yeah." Bai Shian protected the little girl and reminded her, "Sister, hold on tight, we're going to speed up and take off."
As he spoke, he squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse immediately sped up and ran quickly.
Li Suining's hair was blown up. She couldn't help but open her arms and shouted excitedly, "Wow, it's so fast, it really feels like flying."
Bai Shi'an silently curled the corners of his mouth. In fact, considering safety, the speed was not particularly fast, but if someone was following him, he would not be able to catch up at this speed unless he was also riding a horse.
Soon, the brother and sister arrived at the gate of Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
After getting off the horse, Bai Shian still felt something was wrong. He always felt that a pair of eyes were watching them in secret.
He looked in the direction he had come, but saw no horses following him.
Am I being too sensitive?
At this time, Lin Qingxuan received the message and came out to greet them warmly, "Sister Suining, Shi'an, you are finally here. Please come in, please come in! I was afraid you wouldn't come."
Bai Shian laughed out loud, "It's rare that our Prince Lin actually holds such an elegant banquet. I must come and see it."
"Brother Shi'an, you are mocking me." Lin Qingxuan shook his head helplessly, "It's just that my father's orders are hard to disobey."
"There are so many delicious foods in the prince's house, I must come too." Li Suining tilted his little head and licked his lips like a greedy cat.
"Hahaha..." Lin Qingxuan laughed, "We can help ourselves to the snacks at today's banquet."
They walked all the way and entered Lin Qingxuan's yard. Sure enough, they saw all kinds of chrysanthemums everywhere, in all colors, colorful and beautiful.
At this time, the young masters of noble families who were on good terms with Lin Qingxuan, or the relatives of the Marquis' Mansion, also came.
"Brother Qingxuan," suddenly, a little girl of five or six years old ran over happily. She was wearing a pink dress and holding a pink chrysanthemum in her hand. "Brother Qingxuan, do you think this chrysanthemum I picked is pretty?"
Lin Qingxuan's expression changed instantly. "Lianxin, didn't I tell you not to pick these flowers? These flowers are my mother's favorite. She will be sad if you damage them."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The little girl named Lianxin apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, Brother Qingxuan, I forgot. I will definitely not pick it."
"Well, that's what a good child is." Lin Qingxuan turned to look at Li Suining, "Sister Suining, do you want some chrysanthemums? If you like any, you can tell me and I'll send them to the General's Mansion for you."
Li Suining thought these flowers were very beautiful, but she didn't know how to take care of them. She was afraid that the flowers would die if she followed them to the general's mansion.
So, she shook her head and said, "I don't want any of them. If I want to see them, I can just come to my brother, the prince."
"Oh, sister Suining is so good!" Lin Qingxuan really likes this dumpling.
Lian Xin watched for a while, then suddenly said to Li Suining, "You are Suining's sister. Do you want to go play over there with me? The flowers over there are more beautiful."
Li Suining turned to look at Bai Shian, obviously asking for Bai Shian's opinion.
"Your name is Lianxin, right?" Bai Shi'an said as softly as possible, "Do you want to play with our Suining?"
Xiao Lianxin nodded and said, "My sister is very cute. I like my sister."
"Okay, then you have to take good care of her. She is too young, okay?" Bai Shian said in a gentle voice.
The little girl nodded again immediately, "Don't worry, brother, I will take good care of my sister."
As she said that, she took Li Suining's hand and walked away.
Bai Shian took this opportunity to give Lin Qingxuan ten taels of silver. "Qingxuan, thanks to your one thousand taels of silver last time, my mother and my brothers and sisters are all safe. However... I don't have much money now, so I can only return you ten taels first."
"Ah?" Lin Qingxuan was stunned for a moment, "But...your father has already returned the one thousand taels to the Marquis' Mansion, and for that, my father even praised me."
Bai Shian was slightly surprised, "You said...my father returned it to you?"
Lin Qingxuan nodded, "Yes, just a few days ago, didn't your father tell you?"
"No." Bai Shi'an put the silver away. He soon understood that his mother didn't want to make him and his sister worry, so she accepted the ginseng.
However, after they left, my mother asked my father to find a way to repay the one thousand taels.
At this moment, he finally understood the saying, "Parents' love is the most compassionate thing in the world."
"Okay, forget about the thousand taels. Just enjoy the chrysanthemums and eat some snacks. There are some good brothers over there. Come on, I'll introduce you to each other."
Today, Lin Qingxuan was obviously in a very good mood, and he pulled Bai Shian towards the pavilion.
