Solitary pet

Chapter 243

The Lantern Market in Wangjing City is notoriously bustling and bustling.

Someone once said that if you want to have a panoramic view of Wangjing's magnificent scenery, you can get a glimpse of it by climbing the Lingxiao Pavilion on the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.

The Lingxiao Pavilion stands in the north and southeast of the city, towering straight into the sky, leaning on the fence to see each other, the lights underneath are clustered, pedestrians come and go, densely packed, all of which are filled with heads.

The Third Highness, Shen Mao, and his concubine from the mansion were looking at the scenery in the Lingxiao Pavilion. When he was in high spirits drinking, he turned his head and asked the people around him, "Where is Lord Wang?"

The entourage replied: "Master Wang went to the street to visit the lantern market."

Shen Mao squinted his eyes, picked up the long-mouth wine jug, poured himself a cup, and drank the spirits, slightly spicy.He asked again, "Have you ever sent guards to follow?"

The entourage was startled, and panicked: "It was supposed to be sent, but Lord Wang refused."

Shen Mao sounded a little angry, and glared: "He won't give in if he says no, who is your master? Send someone to follow!"

The entourage hurriedly took orders.

Shen Mao felt a little headache, he threw down his wine glass and pressed his temples.This sick man, with his body so weak, still wants to go to the street.There are so many people on the street, if something happens, he will fall down as soon as he touches it. At that time, if someone tramples on someone, he will be trampled to death with a few feet.

Now that the government is so critical, he must be well protected.Shen Mao thought about his state of mind worrying about gains and losses, and suddenly laughed, and the concubine next to him boldly spoke up: "Your Highness, is there something happy?"

Shen Mao usually doesn't like others to speculate on his thoughts, other concubines are waiting to see the joke.Unexpectedly, Shen Mao was in a good mood today, and it was rare that he didn't have an attack. Instead, he hooked a smile and asked her: "I ask you, when you were a daughter at home, how did your parents treat you?"

Concubine Ji replied: "My parents are no match for the rich and powerful in Beijing. If my concubine is obedient, I will love you in every possible way. When my concubine is naughty, I will hate you so much."

Shen Mao nodded and smiled, and reached out to pat her forehead, "You will serve me tonight."

Concubine Ji couldn't help but thank her quickly.

Shen Mao turned his hands away, overlooking the colorful lights below, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.

Who can bear Wei Jinzhi's stinky temper if it's someone else?Overly conceited and aloof, sharp-tongued and unforgiving, if it weren't for the love he grew up with, treating him like a son, I'm afraid he would have thought of strangling him tens of thousands of times.

Thinking about it, Shen Mao suddenly thought about the issue of heirs. If he had children in the future, he would be a good father.

After all, being able to coax someone like Wei Jinzhi well is enough to show that his patience is not ordinary.

Shen Mao was worried, so he called back the attendants who were halfway there, and ordered: "Take good care of your master, if something goes wrong, this king wants your head."

He Sheng stopped in front of a lantern shop, pointed to the carp lantern hanging on a string outside and asked, "Boss, how do you sell this?"

Just after asking, I remembered that I didn't have any silver with me.Accustomed to being accompanied by servants, and rarely going out on the street, it was rare for her to bring her own silver.Before the boss could answer, He Sheng asked again: "Boss, can I get credit?"

The boss pouted, this little girl looks good, why is her mind not clear, if the lamp market is happy to pay on credit, who can make money? "No credit."

He Sheng wearily put on his mask again and walked away.

Walking along the way, thinking about the carp lantern that I failed to buy just now, I felt itchy in my heart.It's not because of how beautiful the lantern is, but maybe it's because of regret that I couldn't get it, so I thought about it.

Two eyes were exposed, looking at the side of the street slyly, delicious and fun, subconsciously wanted to buy it, but because he had no money, he could only watch.

At this time, I regretted a little.Those guards shouldn't be thrown away, anyway, there are still people paying the bill with silver.It's all right now, nothing can be done, and it's a waste of time.

As soon as the lamp shop owner turned around, he heard a clear voice behind him: "Take down that carp lantern, I want it."

The owner of the lantern saw that he was a tall and tall man wearing a faceless mask, with a gentle and elegant demeanor.He hurriedly took it, took the silver and prepared to change it, just found it, turned around and saw that the person had already left.

The boss weighed the bits and pieces of silver in his hand, hey, the weight is not light, and he met a rich owner!

Holding the lantern, Wei Jinzhi walked slowly behind He Sheng, separated by three or five people.

There were so many people on the street, he didn't dare to look away, for fear that if he didn't pay attention, he would lose her sight.

She stopped and walked, with a peach blossom mask hanging on her face, she couldn't see her expression, she could only judge whether she was in a good mood or not by her body movements.

After stopping for a few seconds in front of the wonton shop, in front of the cheese and fruit shop, and in front of the puppet shop, Wei Jinzhi secretly made a note, and along the path she stopped, bought one by one the things she had seen and asked about. .

Probing forward, she stopped in front of the lantern riddle stand, perhaps trying to guess the lantern riddles.

Wei Jinzhi took a breath, his hands were full of things, and there was no room to carry one more.There were people all around the lantern riddle stand, and he was dazed for a second, and when he looked up again, she was no longer there.

"It's a frog!"

Suddenly I heard her voice coming from the front left, presumably she was arguing with others for the answer to a lantern riddle.

Wei Jinzhi huddled in the crowd, and moved forward with difficulty. Seeing a place a few steps away from her, she suddenly looked in his direction. Wei Jinzhi panicked, and someone squeezed behind him. Standing firm, he swiped his arms and fell straight forward.

He was holding a lot of things in his hands, and the people standing in front of him were afraid of being hit, so they all avoided. He Sheng guessed happily, and had no time to react, only heard a shout from someone else, looked up, and saw something facing him come.

She was only stunned for a second before she was splashed with wonton noodles, scallions and soup dripped down the corner of her clothes, and a salted green fruit was caught in the slightly parted collar of her neck.

Wei Jinzhi's entourage saw the situation and was about to step forward to help them. As soon as they arrived, Wei Jinzhi noticed him. He stopped them in time and ordered them to come forward with a look.

Supporting himself to get up from the ground, Wei Jinzhi took two steps forward embarrassingly, and looked at He Sheng who was frozen in place.

The word "distressed" was all over her body, and there was nothing else.

In order to ease the embarrassment, Wei Jinzhi coughed, but couldn't think of how to start his apology.The things in his hand were bought for her in the first place, but now it's all good, they just fell on her body, and there is no need to give them.

He subconsciously went to take out the handkerchief, and suddenly remembered that the handkerchief in his arms was embroidered by her.After hesitating, he took his hands out of his sleeves, made a bow with both hands empty, and said directly: "Xiaosheng is guilty, you are a beautiful lady."
