Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 261 Moon Appreciation
As the sun sets in the west, the sunset in the sky is as gorgeous as fire, reflecting the Batong Bridge like a dream.

Many people have gathered under the bridge, most of them in pairs. They all come to admire the moon and walk across the Batong Bridge.

"Let's go there for a cup of tea first and wait for the moon to come out." Yun Hao pointed to a teahouse by the bridge.

"Okay." Zhao Wangshu nodded.

The two of them walked into the teahouse and found a seat by the window to sit down.

The decoration of the teahouse is simple and elegant, and the air is filled with the faint fragrance of tea.

Zhao Wangshu took a sip of hot tea and looked out the window. The afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the river, making it sparkling and beautiful.

As the sky gets darker, the lanterns hanging on the bridge light up one by one, emitting a soft warm yellow light.

There is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going on the bridge, and their laughter and conversations intertwine, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere.

"The moon must be beautiful tonight." Yun Hao looked out the window and said with a smile.

Zhao Wangshu also looked up at the sky. Although the moon had not yet fully risen, she could already feel the tranquility and beauty.

She nodded slightly and replied: "Yes, the moon will be beautiful tonight."

A full moon rises from the east, casting soft moonlight and shrouding the Batong Bridge in a silver halo.

Under the moonlight, the Batong Bridge looks more primitive and mysterious. Each of the three holes of the bridge reflects a bright moon, and the scenery is strange.

The moon in the bright sky is like a silver plate, and the shadow of the moon is floating in the clear river, and the water and moon shine together. Set off by the long bridge as white as jade, it makes people suspicious of the painting.

Pedestrians on the bridge come and go in an endless stream. Their figures look hazy and mysterious in the moonlight, as if they are walking in a fairyland.

Yun Hao and Zhao Wangshu just sat quietly, admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window and enjoying the rare quiet time.

The teahouse is filled with the faint fragrance of tea, and the fresh river breeze blows in from the window and blends with each other, making the entire teahouse full of a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere.

"Wang Shu, today is your birthday and also the Mid-Autumn Festival. I give this gift to you. I hope you will like it." Yun Hao took out a purse from his arms and handed it to her.

Zhao Wangshu opened his purse and took out a string of crystal clear glass bead bracelets, which shone charmingly under the moonlight. "Yunhao, this bracelet is so beautiful. I like it very much. Thank you!"

She gently put the bracelet on her wrist, "Does it look good?"

Yun Hao nodded, his eyes full of appreciation and love: "Very beautiful, just like you."

The two of them walked out of the teahouse and walked side by side on the Batong Bridge. The moonlight was like water, shining on their bodies, as if they were covered with a layer of silver gauze, flowing elegantly out of the dust.

The river flows under the bridge, making a gentle gurgling sound, intertwined with the chirping of insects in the distance to form a beautiful nocturne.

Zhao Wangshu and Yun Hao walked on the bridge, immersed themselves in the painting, and became the subjects of the painting. Others praised: "What a pair of talented and beautiful people."

Zhao Wangshu whispered: "You can tell by the appearance, how did they see it now?"

Yun Hao smiled and said: "There is poetry and calligraphy in my belly."

"Then they have really good eyesight." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

When they walked to the bridge, they were stopped by an old woman carrying a basket, "Sir, girl, buy a peace charm. It's not expensive, only five cents. The peace charm can keep you safe and grow old together."

The old woman smiled and took out several exquisite peace charms from the basket, each of which was embroidered with different auspicious patterns and exuded a faint scent of osmanthus.

Zhao Wangshu looked at the old woman with white hair and asked with a smile: "I want two."

Yun Hao was about to give money, but Zhao Wangshu stopped him, "I'll give it. I bought it for you."

Yun Hao was stunned for a moment, smiled softly, and did not refuse. He took the peace charm from Zhao Wangshu and hung it around his neck.

The old woman looked at them and smiled even more happily, "Sir, girl, you are truly a perfect match. I wish you happiness forever and grow old together."

"Thank you, mother-in-law." Zhao Wangshu gave the old woman a piece of silver. The old woman took the silver ingot and smiled from ear to ear, "Thank you, girl. Thank you, girl. You are such a generous and good person. The moon god will bless you."

Zhao Wangshu and Yun Hao looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of happiness and sweetness.

The two of them walked slowly from one end of the bridge to the other. There was a stall selling water chestnut porridge beside the bridge.

"Are you hungry? Do you want a bowl of porridge?" Yun Hao asked softly.

"Yes." Zhao Wangshu nodded.

The stall not only sells water chestnut porridge, but also sweet-scented osmanthus sugar glutinous rice cake.

Zhao Wangshu's eyes lit up, "There are also sweet-scented osmanthus sugar glutinous rice cakes. Let's buy some."

Yun Hao smiled and nodded, and the two of them sat down in front of the stall. The stall owner enthusiastically served them two bowls of hot water chestnut porridge and a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus sugar glutinous rice cake.

The aroma of water chestnut porridge is fragrant. The water chestnuts in the porridge are soft and delicious, and the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar glutinous rice cake is sweet but not greasy, making people have endless aftertaste.

After drinking porridge and eating glutinous rice cake, the two walked across the bridge and returned to Yun Hao's grandmother's house.

When Hong Chang and Lu Zhi saw Zhao Wangshu coming back, they quickly helped her wash up.

After a good night's sleep, Yun Hao sent Zhao Wangshu home the next day. Before he arrived at Zhao's house, he was stopped by his subordinates, "Sir, something happened in the palace."

"Yun Hao, go quickly, I can go back by myself." Zhao Wangshu said hurriedly.

Yun Hao frowned, "His Majesty held a family dinner last night, what could happen?"

"A palace maid assassinated Your Majesty," the subordinate replied.

Yun Hao looked at Zhao Wangshu, his eyes full of apology, "Wangshu, I'm sorry, I can't send you back."

Zhao Wangshu nodded and said understandingly: "Go quickly, things in the palace are important."

Yun Hao got off the carriage, got on the horse, and led his men to the palace.

Not long after Zhao Wangshu returned home, he welcomed a guest, Zhao Yufang.

She was a little surprised. After all, they had no contact since Zhao Yufang chose to side with Zhao Jiahua.

I wonder what happened to Zhao Yufang when she came back?

"Master Ni, please take a seat." Zhao Wangshu treated him politely, with a distant and cold attitude.

"Sister Shu, it's been so long, why are you still angry?" Zhao Yufang smiled awkwardly.

Zhao Wangshu took a sip of tea from the cup and said bluntly: "If you have something to do, you don't have to say it. I won't help. I have something else to do and I can't stay with you for a long time. You can have a cup of tea and leave."

"Sister Shu, what you said is so true. We sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, so we shouldn't talk about ourselves." Zhao Yufang said with a smile.

"Mrs. Ni Er, what you said before you got married was very clear. I thought you were a smart person, but now it seems that you are quite confused." Zhao Wangshu said mockingly.

Zhao Yufang's eyes flashed slightly, she picked up the cup and drank sip after sip.

She finished the tea in the cup and put down the empty cup. "Sister Shu, thank you for the tea. I'll leave first."

"Lvzhi, please send Mistress Ni out." Zhao Wangshu winked.

"Yes, girl." Luzhi stood in front of Zhao Yufang, stretched out his hand and said, "Master Ni, please."

Luzhi sent Zhao Yufang away and came back to tell Zhao Wangshu, "The Ni family wants Miss Fang to adopt a child."

Zhao Wangshu smiled understandingly and continued to read the storybook.
