Chapter 624 Lin'an, eating delicious food and releasing river lanterns
"Thank you, beautiful sister." Yu'er smiled sweetly.
"Good boy, you're welcome, just be obedient and take good care of your mother in the future."
"I will." She nodded, reluctant to look at them.
"Then let's go!"
"Goodbye, brother and sister."
"Bon Voyage!"
Yao Qingnian and the others left and continued on their way. In the yard behind them, a woman's voice was heard: "Wash your clothes, you want to eat and drink for free! Either work or get out!"
"You bitch! You broke my legs. How am I supposed to wash them?"
"Even if your legs are broken, you still have your hands! How about I break your hands too? That would be perfect, and you don't have to eat anymore."
"No, no, no! I'll wash..."
After Yao Qingnian and the others left Yu'er's house, Xuanfeng drove the carriage to continue on their journey. She had not slept well after the commotion last night, so she lay down and fell asleep as soon as she got on the carriage, while Lu Huaijin drank tea and read a book leisurely beside her.
When Yao Qingnian woke up, he didn't know where he was. He got up and looked outside. The weather was just right. It was already past noon and the sun was shining on his body, making him feel warm and comfortable.
Lu Huaijin was dozing off with his head propped up. Yao Qingnian looked at his long eyelashes and high nose bridge, so she wanted to tease him. She pulled out a hair and was about to tickle him, but his narrow eyes suddenly opened and he held her hand: "Madam, do you think my husband's face is pretty?"
"It looks good, so let's just look at it for a while longer." Yao Qingnian withdrew his hand awkwardly. This man was really alert and it was difficult to get close to him.
"Then take a closer look." Last night, his itchy heart was ruined. Today, his wife came to him, and he couldn't help but hold her in his arms again. At this time, her stomach was rumbling.
"Ha ha……"
"Are you hungry? Eat some dry food first. When we enter the city in the evening, I will treat you to a delicious meal." Lu Huaijin let her go and took out some snacks from the side and handed them to her.
"Master, Madam, we have arrived at Lin'an City."
"Lin'an?" Isn't that Hangzhou? Hangzhou is a good place, with a superior geographical location. It plays an important role in the Jiangnan region of this era. Its political status is extremely important. It is a political, economic and cultural center, with prosperous business and dense population. The main streets such as the Imperial Street are lined with shops, as well as various handicraft workshops. Lin'an has many brothels and theaters, and is a place where folk art performances are concentrated.
"Yes, let's go into the city now." Tornado drove the carriage into the city.
"Then I must have a good time here for two days." In the past, I was so busy with this and that that I had no time to appreciate the beautiful rivers and mountains of my motherland. Now that I have found a rare opportunity, I must experience it well.
They first found an inn to store their luggage.
"Sir, would you like to stay overnight or have a meal?"
"stay!"
"Okay! Three distinguished guests, please stay here!" the waiter shouted and led them into the inn.
"Boss, I want three upper rooms." Yao Qingnian said to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, three rooms upstairs." The shopkeeper confirmed.
"Two rooms will be enough, boss." Lu Huaijin said lightly, and then paid the silver.
Two rooms? What is he doing... Yao Qingnian thought, after all, they are husband and wife, it's not like they haven't slept together before, what's the big deal, just stay in one room.
"Okay, please go upstairs, sir." The waiter took them to the guest rooms.
Arriving at the door of the guest room, Lu Huaijin said, "Xuanfeng and I will share one room. Two rooms are enough. Three rooms are a bit wasteful. Madam, please go back to your room and change your clothes and wash up. I will call you later to go out for dinner."
"Oh... OK." Yao Qingnian nodded. It turned out that she was overthinking. She thought he wanted to share a room with her! It turned out that he didn't want to waste... Humph... dog man!
Yao Qingnian entered the room angrily and closed the door. Xuanfeng happened to come up and saw this scene. He stepped forward in confusion and said, "Master, have you made the Madam angry again?"
"Little brat, don't ask about adults' affairs." Lu Huaijin raised the corner of his mouth and went into the room.
"I'm not a child! I'm already over ten years old." Xuanfeng grumbled and followed him in. Hey, shouldn't the master be in the same room with the mistress? Why did he come here? He must have made the mistress angry again and was kicked out by her. This must be the case...
After they returned to their room to rest and wash up, the sky was slowly getting dark. Lu Huaijin packed up and called Yao Qingnian to go out.
As the capital, Lin'an is brightly lit at night. There are many kinds of snacks and the aroma of delicious food is everywhere.
When you come to the street, you will see many brothels and theaters with various performances, such as variety shows, puppet shows, storytelling, etc. In the brothels, the audience's cheers are endless, and the artists do their best to show their talents.
Cruise ships shuttled along the Qinhuai River and other waterfront areas. On the boats, scholars and scholars recited poems and wrote couplets, and rich children drank and had fun. The sparkling water surface, set off by the lights on both sides, presented a prosperous urban night scene.
"Wow! What a lively scene! Husband, this is delicious, buy it, this is also delicious..."
"Okay, buy it!" Lu Huaijin was very pleased to hear her call him husband. He felt happy and bought everything he liked.
After a while, Yao Qingnian and Xuanfeng's hands were already filled with all kinds of food. While eating, they strolled on the street and watched various performances. They couldn't see enough. By the time they had watched enough acrobatics, their stomachs were full.
Yao Qingnian rubbed her belly contentedly. She saw people releasing river lanterns by the river, so she suggested, "Let's go release river lanterns too! It's a good opportunity to take a walk by the river."
"Okay, let's go!" Tornado nodded in agreement.
The three of them went to buy river lanterns and set them off on the Qinhuai River: "Do we need to make a wish when setting off river lanterns?"
"What do you want to wish for?"
"Well... my wish is that everyone around me can be healthy and have good luck. What about you?" Yao Qingnian made a most earthy wish. Health is the capital of revolution. If you are in good health, then whatever you want will be easy.
"I don't have any wishes... If I really have to make one, then let me eat more delicious food!" Xuanfeng said heartlessly. If he didn't know him, who would have known that he was a secret guard in his teens! When he was not doing anything, wasn't he a real foodie?
"What about you!" They both looked at Lu Huaijin.
"The wish won't come true if you tell it out loud. I won't tell you." He said mysteriously.
"Tsk...we don't want to know yet! Well, now that we've made our wishes, let's start releasing river lanterns!" Yao Qingnian rolled his eyes at him.
The three of them put their river lanterns into the river, and then happily walked back towards the inn.
