Chapter 182 Meeting at the Restaurant
When Yun Wansheng woke up, it was already evening. If the maid hadn't called her, she would still be sleeping.
That evening, the brother and sister had a good meal. Afterwards, Shangguan Lan said with a smile, "You've come at the perfect time. The Double Ninth Festival is in two days, and on this day, people will go out shopping and enjoy the autumn scenery.
When that day comes, I'll take you there. There's a royal garden outside the South City that's open to the public every year at this time. Ordinary people go there, but of course, it's only open to people in the capital."
"Aren't you taking your fiancée with you?" Yun Wansheng ate the fruit, not forgetting his future sister-in-law.
"Uh! I won't take her with me if I take you. She is not as important as my family." Shangguan Lan smiled awkwardly.
"No, I don't want anyone to bear a grudge against me. If she knew you were accompanying me, her sister-in-law, she would definitely give me a cold look when I enter your house again.
"Brother, for the sake of family harmony, you should go shopping with her! I can just take the maid with me that day, and you can just prepare to take my future sister-in-law out for an autumn outing!" Yun Wansheng said conscientiously.
"That won't work. How about both of you just follow me?" Shangguan Lan disagreed.
"Brother, the most annoying thing about a date between a man and a woman is having a third wheel. It really affects the mood between the couple. Anyway, I won't be that annoying person."
"What is a light bulb?" It was the first time Shangguan Lan heard this term.
"Uh! It means causing trouble to others without realizing it." Yun Wansheng laughed dryly.
"Little sister, you think too much. I've met Qiao Xue a few times. She's kind and casual, not as spoiled as those older ladies. I don't think she would dislike you. If she didn't like you, why would I marry her?"
"Brother, please don't say that again. If my future sister-in-law hears it, she won't marry you even if you want to. If you really like her, don't ignore her feelings. You must respect her.
Women are very petty when it comes to relationships. I can't spend my whole life with you, so only your sister-in-law is the woman who will accompany you throughout your life. Sister, I hope you can cherish the fate in front of you." Yun Wansheng said sincerely.
Shangguan Lan looked at the woman he once loved with deep eyes, but unfortunately she was his sister, so his love was destined to be hidden from the public.
No matter how open-minded and cheerful Miss Qiao was, she was not as free and easy as the woman in front of him. He married her only because he had no choice.
Because he needs to gain a foothold in the capital, the Qiao family is a native of the capital. Although their official positions are not as high as his, they also have their own small forces and are loyal subordinates of the regent. He has to build good relations with them.
"Little sister, I will listen to you. Okay, tomorrow I'll take you to the market so you can see the prosperity of the capital and broaden your horizons."
"That's fine. We'll go there early tomorrow morning." Yun Wansheng smiled and nodded, then suddenly remembered something: "Aren't you going to court tomorrow?"
"The Double Ninth Festival has three days off. Tomorrow is the first day, and we can have fun all day long." Shangguan Lan dispelled her concerns.
The brother and sister chatted for more than an hour before Shangguan Lan went back. Yun Wansheng waited until he left before taking a bath and going to bed. She slept particularly soundly that night.
The next morning, Yun Wansheng washed and dressed up. She wore a blue long dress with a blue and white cloak, which made her look cool, simple and beautiful. Her hair was still in a bun, and she looked like a married person.
After she was dressed, she took a maid out of the room, walked through the moon gate and came to the main courtyard. Just as she was about to call for help, she saw Shangguan Lan coming out wearing a black robe.
“Big Brother!”
"Little sister, are you all packed?"
"Well, we can go out anytime."
"Then let's go. The carriage is waiting outside the door. When we get to the market, we'll buy some food for breakfast." Shangguan Lan smiled warmly and amiably.
When the two of them arrived outside the mansion, they got on the carriage directly, and the attendants and maids sat in the front and back of the carriage.
The carriage slowly drove towards the busiest section of the road. Yun Wansheng looked at Shangguan Lan, who was sitting beside her, expectantly: "Brother, are there any fun places in the capital?"
"Yes, there are acrobatics, cockfighting, eating, target practice, etc. on Huayang Street. You can see them everywhere. Let's go there to play first, and then go to the commercial street to buy things."
"good!"
Soon, they arrived at the streets of Huayang. Shangguan Lan asked the carriage to wait outside, and he took Yun Wansheng inside to play.
The further you go in, the more people there are, and each of the bustling crowds has their own place to go.
Yun Wansheng played shooting, threw hoops, watched shadow play, and ate candied haws in her hand.
After having a great time, they wanted to eat at a noodle stall, but her elder brother insisted on taking her to the commercial street to eat at a big restaurant.
He said that she had come from far away, so how could he let her eat at a street stall? If she wanted to eat, she should eat the best, and he, as her brother, should show his hospitality.
The carriage soon arrived at the main street full of commercial atmosphere. When they arrived at the big restaurant, it was already past noon and the hall was full of guests.
Fortunately, Shangguan Lan had someone book a private room in advance yesterday, and the shopkeeper asked the waiter to lead them and their servants to the second floor.
As soon as they arrived at the corridor, they saw four people walking out of a guest room in front of them. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and had tall and handsome figures.
When Yun Wansheng saw the last person who came out, her eyes froze for a moment, and then she lowered her head.
When Shangguan Lan saw the person behind him, he first glanced at the woman who pretended not to know him, and then walked forward to greet the person.
"I am honored to meet the Regent." This little sister can play dumb, but he cannot ignore this person.
"No need to be so polite!" Mu Xingci said in a seemingly indifferent tone, and his eyes glanced at the woman behind him with a slightly cold look.
"Shangguan Lan! Who is this young lady behind you?" Helang Ge asked curiously. Isn't this man engaged? Why would he bring a single woman here?
"Sir He, this is my younger sister. She just came to the capital yesterday. As her elder brother, I must treat her well." Shangguan Lan explained in a gentle tone.
"It turns out to be your sister! No wonder." Helangge smiled embarrassedly.
"Yun...!" Gu Feicheng was about to say hello to Yun Wansheng, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the boss pulled his arm, obviously trying to stop him from speaking.
"Gu Lao San, what were you about to say just now?" Liang Wenyu noticed that Gu Feicheng was acting strangely and couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing! Let's go after we have eaten and drunk enough! Don't delay General Shangguan's dinner invitation." Gu Feicheng said with a perfunctory smile.
Upon hearing this, the three of them had no objection and walked past the siblings one after another.
Yun Wansheng stood aside with her head down, not even looking at the man. Her indifference successfully prevented Mu Xingci from stopping for her.
