The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 394 Mid-Autumn Festival ([-])

A group of people left the teahouse, just in time to meet Lu Jinkang who was striding forward.

With thunderous speed, he wiped out the kidnappers, rescued the kidnapped children, handed over the case to the governor of the capital, and returned to the market. By the time he finished dealing with the chaos caused by the kidnappers, it was already past the time for him to be on duty.

Handing over the patrol duties to the deputy commander who came to take over, Lu Jinkang will be fine.

He had already learned from Ning Zhongping that everything in the Su family was safe, and he was drinking tea at the tea house at the invitation of Yin Bao, so he came here after getting off duty.

"Are you going back?" Although there was some trouble, the market was still bustling. Lu Jinkang was very surprised to see a group of people coming out of the teahouse.

"We're going to put the lanterns on the moat. Is my cousin still on duty?" Su Zechen happily rushed towards Lu Jinkang with his new piggy lantern.

With Ning Zhongping's guarantee, the child was immediately revived with full blood, and he would no longer dislike the little pig lantern Yin Bao found for him.

Lu Jinkang scooped up Su Zechen with his long hand and carried it on his shoulder: "Just off duty, I just happened to go with you."

Then they greeted Su Chengzhi, Ning Shi and others one by one. The group was about to go to the moat, but they heard Su Zechen, who was sitting on Lu Jinkang's shoulder, cheered: "Wow, cousin, cousin, it's so lively over there!"

Looking in the direction Su Zechen pointed, it turned out that a group of artists on stilts was walking towards this side.

Because of the lessons learned from the previous juggling accident, this time not only the imperial army and government servants cleared the way, but also the imperial army and government servants dispersed the crowd on both sides of the street. Although the street market was lively, it appeared to be orderly.

Su Yunduo couldn't help sighing in his heart, it turned out that the responsibilities of the ancient imperial guards and government servants were not much less than that of the modern police and armed police.

After seeing the bustling walking on stilts, the bustle of the street market is almost the same, so more people go to the moat.

When the Su family reached the moat, a small fire dragon had formed in the winding moat, slowly extending downstream.

"Be careful when you two go down, don't slip into the water." Seeing Su Zechen getting off Lu Jinkang's shoulder and rushing towards the moat, Su Chengzhi hurriedly yelled.

"Brother-in-law, it's okay, Jiu'er and the others are watching." Seeing Jiu'er and the guards following Su Zexuan and Su Zechen closely, Ning Zhongping was not worried, and turned to comfort Su Chengzhi.

At this time, Ning Zhongping was holding Su Zerui who was tightly wrapped in a cloak in his arms. This little guy finally fell asleep after watching stilt walking.

Accompanied by Zisu, Su Yunduo also went down the moat embankment.

There are people everywhere here, mostly girls and boys. Although there is a row of lanterns hanging on the river embankment, and the candlelight from the lanterns that everyone is carrying, after all, it is not as bright as the electric lights in the previous life. The moat still looks a bit dark.

Su Yunduo carefully went down to the edge of the moat, first lifted up the skirt slightly to wet the skirt, then squatted down and put the lantern in his hand firmly into the water, then gently pushed it far away, the lantern drifted gradually with the river water Far.

Su Yunduo clasped his hands together, closed his eyes gently, and prayed silently in his heart: "May the parents in this life and the parents in the previous life be safe and happy."

When Su Yunduo opened his eyes again, the lanterns had already merged into the team of lanterns in the river, and he couldn't tell which one belonged to him anymore.

Sighing softly, Su Yunduo stood up and turned around to go up the embankment, but unexpectedly there was a tall man standing behind her, which made her take a step back involuntarily, but forgot that the moat was behind her.

Seeing that his foot was about to fall into the water, the man stretched out his long arm and pulled Su Yunduo back, but he didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the strength of his hand was a little stronger, and Su Yunduo threw himself into the man's arms inside.

Zisu opened her mouth and almost screamed, but she quickly saw that the man was Lu Jinkang, and covered her mouth tightly to swallow the scream.

I thought that falling into the water was a foregone conclusion, but in the end I fell into a generous embrace.

Although I don't know who this person is, the person who can have such a generous embrace must be a man, even if Su Yunduo doesn't take seriously the three obediences and four virtues of women in this era, being hugged by a man like this, his mind will explode.

As soon as his feet landed on the ground, Su Yunduo quickly struggled out of the man's arms, lowered his head and expressed his thanks repeatedly.

When a familiar laughter fell into his ears, Su Yunduo thought he was having auditory hallucinations, and suddenly raised his head to look at the man, only to find out that this man was really Lu Jinkang!

Su Yunduo couldn't help being angry, annoyed and ashamed: "Why does my cousin stand behind and scare people like this? Don't you know that scaring people will scare people to death?"

The last time the Eldest Princess held a lotus appreciation party, rumors spread because Lu Jinkang protected their grandparents and grandchildren for three generations. There is a reason for the incident, and it is another disturbance to be seen and spread.

Su Yunduo doesn't care that much, but there are many people who care, such as the Ning family, Mrs. Lu, and Mrs. Zhen Guogong, who must be more concerned about such rumors.

Su Yunduo heard from Mrs. Lu that Lu Da, the son of Lord Zhen Guo, will return from the border town soon.

But when Lu Da came back, the Lord of the Town, Lu Mingyang, would write a letter to grant the title to Lu Da, and at the same time invite Lu Jinkang to be his son.

Once Lu Jinkang is crowned the heir apparent, his status will naturally rise. Qi Sisi's marriage, which has been silent for almost two years, will also be on the agenda.

Even if the family of Wu Xun got married later than the family of general civil servants, it was still not as late as the weak crown.

Now the news of the entrustment of the nobleman has not yet spread, but the wife of Zhen Guogong has already released the news that Lu Jinkang's marriage must be resolved within a year.

A few days ago, when Su Yunduo added makeup to Lu Yuhua who was about to get married, Lu Yuhua dragged her into a conversation for quite a while, and most of them were Lu Yuhua complaining that those who came to propose marriage to Lu Jinkang were not worthy of chopsticks in Lu Yuhua's eyes Yes, she felt sorry for Lu Jinkang, his direct brother.

Among them, the one Lu Yuhua complained about the most was the Marquis of Ping'an.

Qi Sisi, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ping'an Mansion, was appointed by Lu Jinkang's biological mother before his death, but Qi Sisi withdrew his marriage two years ago.

What's ridiculous is that Qi Sisi, who wanted to marry the third prince, was rejected by the royal family.

Although it is said that the third prince's favorite is indeed Qi Sisi, and even Hua Guifei is somewhat fond of Qi Sisi, but the Holy Majesty firmly opposes it, and personally pointed out to the third prince that Huang Lingling, the second daughter of the Yongping uncle's mansion, is the third prince's official concubine and will get married in March .

Now that the third prince and concubine, who have been married for nearly half a year, are pregnant, even if the third prince wants to accept a side concubine, he has to wait for a while at this time.

As the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Pingan's Mansion, Qi Sisi had always been looking for the third prince's concubine, how could she be willing to submit to Huang Lingling, who was inferior to her in everything, so Qi Sisi, who had no chance of being the third prince's concubine, saw Lu Jinkang go higher and higher... , and gave birth to the idea of ​​eating Lu Jinkang's turning back.

According to Lu Yuhua, that face is thicker than the city wall.
