Notes of Lanxi Crossing

Chapter 123
Song Lanzhang and others who had a good chat finally noticed the movement here. Zhan Jin was always considerate, so Lanxi was embarrassed, so she spoke out.

That's right, they have been out for so long, and they haven't really touched the lantern yet.

"Okay, then Jiu'er will send us there, the elder brother and the eldest brother will stay here to talk with the prince." Song Lanshu made a decision.

Song Lanzhang was a little worried. Although Song Lanjiu was a man, he was only a half-year-old boy. Could he take care of several people?

He made a gesture to get up, but saw the prince drinking tea in silence and didn't speak a word, he hesitated for a moment, then sat back, feeling in his heart how inconvenient it is to travel with such a disparate person.

After Lan Xi and others went downstairs, besides Song Lanzhang, Liu Zhanyu and Jiang Yan, there were only some dumb guards around the prince in the box.

There were more than a dozen people, but no one spoke. The atmosphere in the box was silent and awkward.

Liu Zhanyu really couldn't bear this atmosphere, he cleared his throat, and had nothing to say to Jiang Yan.

"Brother Yan, why didn't you go with your Ninth Brother just now, when they come back after buying lanterns, you're going to be greedy."

Jiang Yan frowned: "Brother Yu, why do you think of me as a cousin? This girl's family likes things, just take a look at them."

"Hahaha——" Liu Zhanyu laughed, he only discovered today that this little brother actually cares so much about the distinction between men and women.

"You are not like Xi'er and the others, you are too polite." Liu Zhanyu said, and then pulled Song Lanzhang to talk together.

"Brother Zhang, you live together, so you don't teach him, it will be difficult for Brother Yan to marry a wife in the future."

"Cousin Yu!" Jiang Yan shouted in embarrassment.

Seeing this, Liu Zhanyu laughed heartily.

In fact, Liu Zhanyu's behavior is like a relative talking to a junior at the dinner table during the Chinese New Year.

He may not really want to say something to you, maybe he just opened his mouth when he caught sight of you, the more you pay attention to him, the more energetic he will be.

It's a pity that Jiang Yan didn't know the truth of this, and he had never been teased like this before, and he was so anxious that he broke out in sweat.

"How...how can you say such a thing?" Jiang Yan knew that there was more than one Liu Shuhuan in the Liu family who had a temper, and she and Liu Zhanyu were clearly in the same line.

Song Lanzhang knew that this cousin was thin-skinned, so he spoke out and said: "You brother Yu is such a person who doesn't care about meat and vegetables. I didn't intend to make fun of you. You just pretend that you can't hear him, and don't talk to him."

Having said that, but Liu Zhanyu is the elder brother after all, he wants to talk to Jiang Yan, how can the latter pretend not to hear him.

Liu Zhanyu saw that Jiang Yan was sweating profusely, and gradually put away his smile, that's all, he stopped teasing this kid.

Zhanxi didn't participate in the laughter among their relatives, so he inevitably seemed a little alone. Looking at the crowd pushing and shoving and the colorful lanterns outside the window, he put down his tea cup and said with a smile.

"I don't know if Jin'er and the others have arrived or if they are hurt. As an older brother, I can't help but worry a little bit more for her."

"The prince's words are also Zhang's intentions."

Song Lanzhang deeply agreed with this statement, so he nodded, looking aimlessly for his brothers and sisters in the crowd.

"When I went out, my mother told me to take care of several younger brothers and sisters. After thinking about it, I still feel a little worried."

Now that the words have come to this point, he directly said to the few people present: "Zhang Yu went to find the second sister and the others, please forgive me for being rude."

"Hey~" Liu Zhanyu disagreed, "Since you are all gone, what's the point of leaving the three of us staring here, why don't we go together."

If Song Lanzhang left, there would only be him, the special prince, and the serious Xiao Jiangyan left here. What would he have to say to these two people.

"No!" Song Lanzhang rejected the proposal.

"I can't guarantee a smooth meeting with Second Sister and the others. It would be bad if they come back and find that there is no one here, and then return to the crowd."

Besides, with the prince here, it's better not to bring the other party into a possibly chaotic place.

Liu Zhanyu couldn't say no to him, and the prince had no objection to this, so he could only stay in this boring private room and continue to have an awkward chat with the prince.

Song Lanzhang came out of the restaurant with only one guard with him, and he didn't look for it aimlessly in the crowd like a headless chicken.

Before he came out, he had already found out the location of the nearby toilets from Liu Zhanyu, so he just had to go straight there.

But what puzzled him was that the place Liu Zhanyu pointed out to him was sparsely populated, and he couldn't find Lanxi and the others.

"Strange, could it be that Jiu'er has brought them back to the restaurant?" Song Lanzhang thought secretly.

He was about to go back to the restaurant when he heard the cheerful chatter of several teenagers trotting past him.

"Hurry up, you will have no place to stay if you are late!"

"Understood, huh~huh~ isn't this running! Ah Yi, is there really... will the river be filled with river lanterns?"

"Of course, everyone is rushing to the river, so don't ask, save your energy and follow us!"

Song Lanzhang stopped and watched these people gradually run away.

He couldn't help but see the scene of Lan Xi and Liu Shuhuan pulling Song Lanshu's sleeves and acting like a baby after hearing the news, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility was extremely high.

"I won't go back now, let's go to the river to have a look, maybe they are there right now."

Song Lanzhang led the guards and mixed in with the crowd who were going to watch the river lanterns by the river.

In front of a small street stall, a pair of young girls were picking out their favorite wooden flower hairpins. When one of them turned around to talk, he saw something and was stunned.

The maid Mi Ying chose a wooden hairpin and turned her head to ask her lady's opinion, but saw the other party staring blankly into the distance, not moving.

Mi Ying followed Ji Mingxin's line of sight, but could only see men and women crowded on the street.

"Miss, what are you looking at?"

Ji Mingxin shook his head, randomly picked out a few hairpins and settled the bill together with the maid's portion.

"I just saw that the lanterns over there are very beautiful, let's go and have a look."

"Over there? Is it there?" Mi Ying held the hairpin, her eyes were full of doubts, "If I remember correctly, there is the end of the commercial street over there, and there is nothing but a river."

Ji Mingxin's complexion did not change, and he said affirmatively: "Yes, you remember wrongly, let's go!"

As she said that, she flung her sleeves and walked towards that place. Seeing this, Mi Ying could only follow immediately, without thinking about whether she had made a mistake.
