Chapter 148 It’s New Year’s Eve
The general's mansion was also very lively. Although the population was not large, the relationship between the master and the servants was very good, just like a family.
The general and his wife gave red envelopes to everyone, and there were fireworks after the meal.
Feng Jinyu missed Mo Huaiqing, but she also knew that a married daughter could not return to her parents' home casually, let alone a concubine of the prince.
However, Mo Yunzhu asked someone to find out and learned that Mo Huaiqing was living a good life in the Prince's Mansion because the Prince treated her well.
This made Mo Yunzhu smile. Mo Huaiqing was not completely stupid after all. If she was given a chance, she would not be able to stand up. So she really couldn't blame herself for being stupid.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, Mo Yunzhu and her parents enjoyed the joy of family life, then went to Prince Lan's Mansion with Yuan Qing and Chang Teng, because they had agreed to stay there to accompany Prince Lan to celebrate the New Year.
And on New Year's Eve, there's nothing wrong with being watched.
When she arrived, there were already two carriages at the door. It turned out that Lan Yan and Ji Xingyun had already arrived, but Zhuo Yu did not.
Mo Yunzhu thought that if Zhuo Yu didn't come when her son was here, she would have to go to him after the end of the year to resolve the misunderstanding and know their life experiences earlier.
Entering Xuanji Courtyard, there was constant laughter.
Xuanji Courtyard is decorated festively, and the atmosphere of the New Year is everywhere.
The heating in the inner room was sufficient. When Mo Yunzhu entered, she saw three men drinking and chatting. There were fruits and snacks on the table.
Soon Mo Yunzhu joined them. Because Ji Xingyun was there, the topic did not go that deep.
Jun Huolan and Mo Yunzhu actually found it quite funny. They had known Ji Xingyun first, but they did not expect that their relationship with Lan Yan would become closer and more trusting all of a sudden.
"Miss, please help me think of a solution." Ji Xingyun begged for mercy because of being teased.
"You are not young anymore, it's time for you to get married. There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants. It's normal for your parents to urge you to get married." Mo Yunzhu knew that the Chinese New Year was the most troublesome time for Ji Xingyun, so he escaped early.
"I just want to find a girl I like to marry, but it's impossible to find one, right?" Ji Xingyun said depressedly, "Do I just find someone to marry?"
"There are so many girls in the capital, don't you like any of them?"
Ji Xingyun thought to himself, I do like Miss Mo, but it’s not his turn.
"This kid is most afraid of messing with decent women. He likes to go to brothels." Lan Yan said immediately.
Ji Xingyun's handsome face immediately turned red and he said, "Don't talk nonsense. I went to the brothel to discuss business and at most to have a drink. I don't touch those women. Don't slander me."
"Tsk, but you also have a lot of female confidants." Lan Yan immediately pointed it out.
Ji Xingyun immediately said unhappily: "Master Lan, are you jealous of me?"
"I am indeed jealous. I cannot see women clearly, so I dare not touch them." Lan Yan felt that it was indeed a great pity, but now his face blindness seems to be getting better. "When I can recognize the third woman's face, that woman must be my wife."
"The third face? You said you only recognize your mother's face, who is the second one?" Ji Xingyun was immediately surprised.
"Of course it's the teacher... ahem, Miss Mo. Miss Mo has a special temperament. I can recognize her at a glance."
Jun Huolan glanced at him. If he hadn't known that he had Mo Yunzhu as his master, he would have thought that this boy had bad intentions towards Mo Yunzhu.
Ji Xingyun looked at Mo Yunzhu and saw that she was bright and generous, with a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling without saying a word. Such a look was indeed unforgettable at first sight.
"Okay, if the third woman is your eldest mother, will you marry her too?"
"Ji Xingyun, you're not hurt at all, so why don't you expect me to do something good?" Lan Yan said unhappily.
"Isn't it that we two brothers share the same suffering?" Ji Xingyun smiled.
"Hmph!" Lan Yan ignored him arrogantly.
Mo Yunzhu smiled sweetly, and Jun Huolan suddenly said, "It seems that Master Zhuo will not come."
Ji Xingyun looked outside and said, "Maybe something happened? How about I go call him?"
Lan Yan immediately said, "No, he might be busy. He likes to have a drink. He will definitely come if he is free."
Jun Huolan glanced at Mo Yunzhu, who smiled and said, "It's getting late, let's go set off fireworks."
Everyone agreed immediately, and Haojiang Fengyan, Changteng and Changqing all came to help.
The sky above the entire palace was suddenly filled with fireworks, creating an extremely lively atmosphere.
Zhuo Yu stood in the dark in front of the window on the third floor of Wanyao Pavilion, looking at the fireworks and firecrackers everywhere in the city, and his heart was uneasy.
Jing Ji, An Tu and Qiu Shi had the New Year's Eve dinner with him tonight. Everyone drank some wine, and then he asked the three of them to go out and have some fun.
The three of them had been here for such a long time, but they had indeed not gone out to play properly. The master let them go out to have fun tonight, so naturally they all ran very fast.
Suddenly, dazzling fireworks exploded from the direction of Prince Lan's Palace. Zhuo Yu kept his eyes on that direction.
He had promised them that he would go to keep watch tonight, but after what happened, he felt very conflicted.
Prince Lan was hiding very well. Did he really want to make friends with her? After all, he had suffered at the hands of this guy before, and he would not tell him who the female thief was.
Is this a friend?
But he told Chen State what he wanted to know most, about the blood jade. He had already written a letter to Chen State and asked his men to investigate. At the beginning of the new year, he went to Chen State.
But he was really unwilling to accept the fact that he still didn't know who the female thief was. He had been trying to catch her for three months, but he still didn't know the result.
But now even if I know that I have a grudge against the female thief, how should I deal with it?
Are you going to break up with King Lan?
But when he thought of Jun Huolan's experience, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for him, and the fact that he robbed the rich and helped the poor shocked him deeply.
Because he actually wanted to do this kind of thing for a long time, but he just never did it.
Prince Lan robbed the casino of Uncle Zhao. Others did not know what kind of person Uncle Zhao was, but how could he not know that no one in the Zhao family was a good person.
Thinking of Jun Huolan's words, he knew that none of King Lan's enemies were safe, and he actually didn't want anything to happen to him again.
Especially since Prince Lan did not hide anything from him, he told him frankly about his hatred and his improved health.
So the reason why he is hiding now is for the purpose of revenge in the future.
What's more, he is Mo Yunzhu's fiancé, and he doesn't want anything to happen to Mo Yunzhu.
The fireworks were gorgeous, but Zhuo Yu felt empty inside. He turned around and saw several bottles of peach blossom wine on the table.
That damn Lan Yan didn't even come to drink with him, but went to accompany Prince Lan instead. Even Ji Xingyun had already been scheduled to go to Prince Lan's mansion.
He didn't want to spend a night like this, drinking alone.
Prince Lan still owes him one, so there's nothing wrong with going to him for a drink!
Mo Yunzhu should be there too, it should be very lively over there.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Yu seemed to relax a little. He picked up the osmanthus wine on the table and went downstairs directly.
Without a carriage, he used his Qinggong skills to quickly arrive at Prince Lan's Palace.
"Mr. Zhuo, you are finally here. Please come in. The prince and the others have been waiting for you for a long time." When Butler Zhao saw Zhuo Yu, he immediately came forward happily.
