"Which lord is it?" Princess Wei's gentle voice came from the carriage, with some doubts.

"Your official, Wei Lang, is the prefect of Jingzhao Mansion." Wei Lang still arched his hands respectfully, and replied with a smile, "Your official is going out to inspect the city today, and I didn't expect to meet Wang Hao and Shi Zifei's cars. Therefore, I have come here to pay my respects to Wangfei and Shizifei."

"So it's Mrs. Wei." Princess Wei laughed softly, the curtain of the carriage was slightly opened, and only the kind side face of Princess Wei could be vaguely seen. "Master Wei looks young, and he is really different from Master Li. I thought the new Governor of Jingzhao was also an old man!" Princess Wei laughed with some elder love and jokes, she paused, just now Putting down the curtain, he said, "Master Wei has something to do, go and do it yourself, don't worry about us."

Wei Lang's peripheral vision fell on the curtain of the car, and he took it back calmly. He smiled and clapped his hands in response: "I have disturbed the princess and the princess, and I will leave for the time being!" The servant made another bow, then got on his horse and led the people away.

The whole group of Lu's family started to move again, the wheels of the car creaked and turned, looking very peaceful and quiet in the empty suburbs.

Wei Lang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the slowly moving car not far away, frowned, and said to the people around him in a deep voice: "You follow quietly, let me watch over all of you! Don't miss any of them!"

A group of people agreed, and after a rustling sound, more than a dozen people quickly dispersed, and soon disappeared behind the bare tree trunks and sparse thatched huts.

Wei Lang rode on the horse, looking down at the shrinking crowd in front of him.With a cold light in his eyes, he raised his whip and rode his horse all the way back to the capital.

At noon, the sun was shining brightly in the capital city, and the sun was shining warmly on the unmelted ice surface, giving off a blurred and gorgeous brilliance, which was really beautiful.After the morning market, street vendors also came out with their loads of goods, yelling and singing.Warmly persuade the passing guests.The people on the street are full of festive joy, talking and laughing all the way, looking here and there, and the small vendors on the street are spoiled by Coke.

Lanyue Building is also very lively at the moment, the old storyteller on the first floor is twirling his beard and spitting, telling the story of Taizu's pacification of the world.Everyone applauded while drinking and drinking tea.

The second floor was quieter, but the private room was already full of people.

The man in the hall was sweating profusely but still had a simple and honest smile on his face, and everyone else was busy in an orderly manner.

There were no people in the small yard behind Lanyue Building. At this moment, shopkeeper Zhong was standing in the room, talking to Liao Zhongwen with a serious face.

"On the Zhuangzi outside the city, the old lady at the mansion of Lord Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has ordered a lot of banquets. Shen Shimo will send them over. I will lead the people myself. Are you ready?"

Liao Zhongwen nodded, "It's all done. There will be a lantern festival in the Town God's Temple at night, and the wives and grandmas will go to see the lights. At that time, there were many people at the gate of the city. Besides," Liao Zhongwen paused, with a sudden glow on his gentle face. There was a tinge of murderous intent, but quickly subsided, "There are a few people outside the city. They were picked up by my uncle, and they are all good hands. They can last for a while. This matter is almost the same. Last year we still have more than a dozen good horses left, all of which can go away. My aunt has made it clear that there is no danger in entering Ding'an City. If you go at the time of You, hurry up and whip the horse, and you will arrive at Zishi."

Shopkeeper Zhong hummed with a sullen face, and heard the clerk outside shouting, so he responded, raised his hand and patted Liao Zhongwen's shoulder, sighed heavily, and said with a smile, "Hey, I'm so busy during the New Year's Eve. It will be all right after a while. Take care of yourself! Give the girl a message for me. The good wine here is still buried. If the girl is free in the future, come back and have a taste. I will warm the wine for the girl myself. If you can It's even better with the little master. Hey, I'll be old in a blink of an eye..." Shopkeeper Zhong sighed a long time, walked out of the room slowly, and when he stood at the door, he took a breath and his face recovered. With a kind smile, he followed the buddy's voice to find him, "But there is a distinguished guest here? Hey, it's Master Chen? Master Liu hasn't been here for a long time..."

Liao Zhongwen heard the voice becoming more and more blurred, his eyes became hot for no reason, then he raised his hand to press the corners of his eyes, straightened his complexion, and with a gentle and elegant face, he quickly turned out of Lanyue Tower from the back porch.

At the end of Shenshi, lanterns were hung in the streets and alleys, and vendors selling lamps came out one after another. There were also a lot of jugglers, candied haws, and fried seeds, all of which quickly occupied the streets.The road from the gate of the city to the Temple of the City God is full of voices and countless tourists.There was a constant stream of people coming and going at the gate of the south gate of the capital, and farmers in the suburbs of Beijing also wore new red clothes and brought their brothers and sisters to join in the fun.

The carriages of Lanyuelou sending banquets to various places also pulled out one after another. The guys carefully moved the wine jars and various food boxes into the carts, and sent them out shouting all the way.

When the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, the gate was temporarily blocked.The boy driving the car in front shouted and waved his whip, and kept making salutes to the people around him, so he managed to squeeze past.

The guard at the gate of the city saw the car in Lanyue Tower, and he was not used to seeing it. He just smiled and asked the boy who was driving the car. He looked at several large cars that could hold people behind him, and lifted the curtain to take a look. , sighed tut tut, and wondered: "Oh, where is this going? Whose house is so grand?" During the conversation, people had already walked to the center of the convoy, and they all opened them one by one to take a look.

The young man turned his head to look at the guard, scratched his head with a smile, and just about to answer, the shopkeeper Zhong rushed up from behind panting, panting and waving his hands, and laughed at the guard, "Brother Que is on duty today." Be careful, I don’t see you asking questions before? I’m afraid you’re blackmailing me today!”

Shopkeeper Zhong panted and smiled, stuffed a red envelope into the guard's hand, stroked his chest and said, "Forget it, I'm being generous with the Lantern Festival today, you can go drink with it."

As he spoke, he raised his finger and tapped the boy driving the car in front, and cursed with a tiger face, "I told you to hurry up, the old lady of the Liu family is the most impatient to wait for others, and she should be punished by Mrs. Liu if she is late." People yelled and scolded for a while! I was scolded before, and I will come back later, where will I put my old face?"

The guards guarding the gate all laughed, and the little brother Que also grinned so much that he stopped checking the cars behind him.Shopkeeper Zhong laughed and cursed, and followed the convoy out of the city.

In just a quarter of an hour, the convoy drifted away and disappeared.

Shopkeeper Zhong sat in the last car, blushing and panting heavily, loudly urging the boy in front to hurry up, but his own carriage gradually slowed down, and then stopped beside an ordinary thatched hut in the suburbs of Beijing. down.

Shopkeeper Zhong took a deep breath, and told his confidantes who were driving the car to be vigilant, and then went to the hut to call for someone.

Not long after, two young men in coarse cotton clothes pulled out a half-worn carriage from the hut, and nodded to the shopkeeper Zhong.

Shopkeeper Zhong hurriedly folded his body and opened the curtain, bowing respectfully to the people inside: "I have wronged the princess and the concubine. Time is running out, please move the concubine and the concubine."

Princess Wei grabbed Wen's arm tightly with one hand, and covered Wen's mouth with the other. Her hair was still a little messy, but she was calm, nodded calmly, thanked the shopkeeper, and then let go of Wen. Shi.

Wen looked at the empty scenery with a pale face, then looked around, his eyes gradually widened, then looked at Princess Wei in horror, and called out in disbelief: "Mother?"

Princess Wei lowered her head and glanced at Wen's, her face was calm, but her gaze was extremely complicated.

Wen's mind was lost for a moment, and he followed Princess Wei out of the car in a daze.

Looking at the emptiness outside, and that Grandma Sun was not there, nor was the carriage of the palace, Wen's heart sank, her lips trembled, and she subconsciously called out: "Grandma Sun? Grandma Sun?"

"Stop shouting!" Princess Wei suddenly turned her head to look at Wen's, her voice was not loud, but there was a hint of menace. "Let's go."

A layer of cold sweat soaked into the palms of Wen's hands. From the corner of his eye, he looked at the two young men beside the thatched hut. His mind was in chaos. Countless thoughts passed through him, but he couldn't grasp any of them. Staring at Princess Wei's back, her feet softened and she couldn't walk at all.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Zhong sighed, raised his hand and cupped his hand towards Wen Shi, "Forgive me, I'm offended!" As he spoke, he winked at his confidant, and the two of them supported Wen Shi on the left and right, and followed behind. Princess Wei got into the carriage behind her and lowered the curtain.

The man dressed as a farmer standing beside the carriage nodded to the treasurer Zhong, then saluted Princess Wei, climbed into the carriage nimbly, whipped the two horses left and right with a whip, and the carriage rolled turned up.

A few white shadows flashed past, followed closely behind the carriage, and moved away after a while.

Shopkeeper Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, nodded to the boy next to him, quickly climbed into the carriage of Lanyue Tower, and drove all the way in the direction of Liujiazhuangzi.

At the end of You Shi, the sky gradually darkened, the Lu family's carriage entered the south gate along with the flow of people, and the group returned to the Xining Palace in a mighty manner.

At the same time, a carriage also drove out from the West Corner Gate of the Marquis of Chong'an.The eldest son Lin Chengrui got into the carriage at the door and ordered the servant to drive to Chengyuan Street.Not long after, a sedan chair went out at the gate of the Lin family, heading straight for the Forbidden Palace.

The figures hidden in the dark swayed, and one of the men in Tsing Yi stood up and waved his hand slightly. In the blink of an eye, he quickly merged into the endless crowd on the street and chased after the Lin family's carriage.

The number of people at the south gate gradually increased, and the guards saw a carriage approaching from a distance, so they greeted it with a smile, and cupped their hands at the young man driving the carriage, "May I ask where you are going?"

The young man glared at the guard, lifted his chin and hummed, "Of course we are going to the Temple of the City God!" He muttered again, "It's really strange, I haven't stopped people in previous years..." The young man muttered twice , and gave the guard a contemptuous glance, "What are you looking at? Still not letting go? Didn't you see that this is the car of the wives and grandmas?"

The head of the guard was still smiling, with no trace of annoyance on his face, but the man stood in front of the carriage without moving. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
