Chapter 606: Encounter by Chance (Part 2)
Bang--!
Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky, attracting countless people to look up.
The colorful lights reflected in the river are even more dazzling.
Not far away, there were people dancing with hydrangeas in their hands, and behind them, a group of people holding lanterns and marching like a dragon passed through the crowd, accompanied by the sound of drums and music, it was vivid and lifelike.
It is truly a rare and grand sight.
Xiaowu likes it very much.
——No wonder Fourth Brother always says that the capital is much more prosperous than Jiangling!
Unfortunately, although he loves the hustle and bustle the most, he is the farthest away from it at this moment.
I don’t know how he managed to survive those long days and nights in such a remote and cold place like Xiacheng.
Xiaowu strolled around the various stalls, selecting things very carefully.
She came today determined to do some shopping!
She was very cute and fair-skinned. The vendors were so fond of her that they wanted to bring out all the good things for her to choose from.
Xiaowu carried his heavy purse and bought everything.
The fan chosen for Xie Anbai was an ivory-carved folding fan with a pattern of twined flowers. It was well-made and extremely gorgeous. In Xiaowu's opinion, it was very suitable for him.
The whip chosen for Princess Qinyang was a white jade-handled horsewhip, which was light and flexible and very handy.
"And mine?"
Princess Qinyang really didn't expect this, she was surprised and happy.
Xiaowu tilted his head and smiled.
Princess Qinyang was a little embarrassed. "How can I accept a gift from a little kid like you? This thing is not cheap!"
Ye Chutang advised, "Princess, please accept it. You always brought her snacks and food every time you came to your house. This return gift is nothing."
Princess Qinyang coughed awkwardly.
Ye Chutang didn't allow Xiaowu to eat too many sweets, but Princess Qinyang couldn't bear to let her eat such pitiful little sweets every time, so she secretly brought some with her and mixed it with other gifts. Unexpectedly, she was caught...
"Well, they are just some small things, and there is no..."
"In addition, when checking the accounts before the New Year, Xiaowu was quite happy with the calculations and deliberately set aside the money for buying gifts. She knows who treats her well." Ye Chutang smiled and shook his head, "It's just a little thought from her, so the princess should not refuse it."
After returning to Beijing, their situation was extremely difficult and they faced several crises.
Although Xiaowu is young, she knows that it is not easy for them to gain a foothold in the capital and get to where they are today. She remembers those who bullied them, and she remembers those who helped them even more.
Princess Qinyang had always been very kind to them, and Xiaowu also liked her, so he carefully selected gifts for them.
These were nothing compared to what she had received.
Princess Qinyang was a little confused. "What did you say? Looking at the account book... can you be so happy?"
She usually hates those sour Confucian scriptures the most, and she feels dizzy just looking at the account books. How could anyone like to read such things?
Xiaowu seemed to see her confusion and nodded vigorously in agreement.
——It’s true, it’s true!
With so many fields and shops, the total profit is really an astonishing figure!
Xiaowu likes to do the accounting whenever she has nothing to do, so she probably has an idea of all this. But after looking at the total account and calculating the number before the New Year, she was still so excited that she couldn't sleep for half the night.
With this money, they will never have to live as hard as before!
My elder sister will no longer be bothered by those difficult and troublesome patients, my third brother will no longer have to buy the cheapest writing materials and books, and my fourth brother will no longer have to lie in the snow for hours just to hunt a few wild rabbits in order to fill their stomachs...
In short, everything will get better!
Ye Chutang nodded seriously and gave an affirmative answer.
——If she knew how much money Xiaowu earned last year, it would be easy to understand why she was so happy.
Princess Qinyang saw this and could no longer refuse, so she accepted the whip with a smile.
"Okay! Thank you, Xiaowu!"
Xiaowu covered his mouth and smiled.
She was also very happy to be able to make Princess Qinyang happy.
When the moon was at its highest point in the sky, Xiaowu finally found the shadow play stall.
This is a small temporary stage, and because it is so famous, it was surrounded by several circles early on.
Xiaowu stood outside and couldn't squeeze in at all.
She was small and could not see anything except the backs of the people in front of her.
After trying a few times, she lowered her head in disappointment, turned around, took Ye Chutang's hand and shook it gently.
Ye Chutang leaned forward slightly, "Can't see? Then sister is holding you?"
Xiaowu shook his head again.
She has grown up now, and it’s okay for her to hug her occasionally, but the shadow play will last for a long time! How can I let my sister hold me all the time? That must be so tiring.
Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Haven't you been looking forward to it for a long time? Wouldn't it be a pity if you missed it like this?"
A conflicted look appeared on Xiaowu's face, and he quickly pursed his lips and gestured.
——I’m already very happy today, it doesn’t matter whether you watch it or not.
In fact, if she had come earlier, she could still have gotten a good seat, but just now she saw others flying sky lanterns and she was itching to try, so she was delayed.
It's all her own fault, so of course she should bear the consequences.
Ye Chutang glanced forward and saw that the curtain on the stage had been set up. Accompanied by the rapid and clanging sound of gongs, a shadow puppet appeared on it.
"He's a very handsome young general." Ye Chutang said, "Although shadow puppetry can be seen in many places, the ones who came today are all masters. This play is also their best one. I heard that everyone applauded after watching it."
When Xiaowu heard the word "little general", his eyes lit up, but then dimmed in an instant.
Princess Qinyang clapped her hands, "Xiaowu, how about I hold you?"
After all, she has some martial arts skills, so holding a baby shouldn't be a piece of cake for her, right?
Xiaowu's originally firm mind began to waver again.
She really wanted to see it, but she didn't want to trouble others.
this……
Just when Xiao Wu was extremely confused, a deep and familiar voice with a lazy smile came.
"Want to see it?"
Xiaowu turned around suddenly and smiled in surprise when he saw the person coming.
——Brother Crown Prince!
Chen Yanchuan was wearing a snow-white brocade robe with arrow-sleeves, and a jade belt that outlined his slender waist, broad shoulders and long legs.
Under the moonlight, the stones look like jade and the green trees look like pines.
Ye Chutang blinked slightly.
It is said that one can appreciate flowers in front of a lamp and beauties under the moon, and the same applies to men.
Although I have seen this face many times, I still get distracted easily every time.
Princess Qinyang asked in surprise, "Brother, why are you here?"
Hasn't he always been uninterested in these things?
Lian Zhou, who was following behind, immediately replied with a smile, "Today is the Lantern Festival. Everyone in the capital knows how lively the Xijiang Bridge is. The master has been away from the capital for many years. This opportunity has finally come, so of course we can't miss it."
