Noble Lady Jing Zhao

Chapter 43

The day came for Zhao's banquet.

Mrs. Xie went to greet her mother-in-law early, and took her daughter out of the mansion to attend the banquet in Su Muhou's mansion.

After getting into the carriage, Mrs. Xie kept her eyes on her daughter for a moment.

I'm afraid I missed a moment.

"Zhao Zhao, just wait a little longer."

She is well aware of her parents' difficulties.

Instead, he comforted his mother, "Mother doesn't have to worry, grandma has never been short on food and drink."

The carriage from Cheng En Bo's Mansion went along the long street to Su Muhou's Mansion.

Mrs. Zhao ordered people to wait at the door early.

She was busy staring at the servants carefully tidying up early in the morning.

The banquet is also looked after personally.

I was afraid that someone might be thinking something.

Fortunately, some available manpower was brought back.

Mrs. Mu doesn't go out much now because of her injuries.

The size of the family is now controlled by her nanny and her second wife, Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu knew that her sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhao, was going to invite the third room of the Ye family to a banquet today.

Simply close the door and thank guests.

She didn't want to step forward to join in the fun.

He didn't help Zhao before, so naturally he didn't have the reason to be a good person now.

When Mrs. Xu didn't come, Mrs. Zhao was relieved.

The servant girl passed the news that the carriage of the uncle's house had arrived.

Zhao went out to greet him personally.

Mother Wang got off the carriage first and turned around to help Mrs. Xie.

Ye Jingzhao followed his mother and got out of the carriage.

"Mrs. Mu."

"Mrs. Ye San."

The two greeted Li with a smile.

Ye Jingzhao blessed his body and called out, "Mrs. Mu."

Mrs. Zhao nodded in satisfaction, and welcomed the mother and daughter into the door.

Ye Jingzhao followed behind, listening to his mother talking and laughing with Mr. Zhao.

Feeling sad.

Thinking of my previous life, although I didn't see it with my own eyes.

But she heard about it later.

By the time she heard the news about Zhao, Zhao was gone.

At that time, Mu Yanzong was transferred abroad and was not in Kyoto.

Mrs. Mu joined forces with Master Xue to force Zhao to remarry.

She didn't know the details.

Zhao did not agree at first, but later, for some unknown reason, Zhao agreed.

That day, a group of young men and women dressed in festive clothes were playing gongs and drums and carrying a red wedding sedan.

The red wedding sedan landed at the back door of the Hou Mansion.

The main entrance of the Hou Mansion is deserted, while the back entrance is lively.

A world of difference.

Mrs. Zhao was carried onto the wedding sedan chair.

That night, Mrs. Zhao took a short blade and stabbed Mr. Xue first. Seeing that he was not breathing, the Xue family's servants came in in a panic.

While everyone was in a hurry, Mrs. Zhao wiped the short blade stained with Master Xue's blood with a white handkerchief.

In the end, the short blade pierced straight into the atrium.

Zhao was out of breath on the spot.

Mrs. Zhao called Ms. Xie and her daughter to come today.

It was just to measure the size for Ye Jingzhao.

The banquet is also in the main room.

While eating, Mrs. Zhao suddenly suggested, "You probably haven't taken a stroll around the capital when you come back. Coincidentally, Yong'an Lane in Beicheng is the annual lantern feast. Why don't we go shopping together now."

This Yongcheng Lane is a place rich in lanterns and fireworks.

In recent years, such a banquet will be held every year.

Good to drive the business of various merchants next year.

"This……"

Mrs. Xie was worried about causing trouble to Mrs. Zhao, and also worried that the old lady would cause trouble if she returned home late.

Mrs. Zhao guessed what Mrs. Xie was thinking, and said, "Don't worry about others, just have fun today, and I will personally send you back."

Seeing Mrs. Zhao's sincere invitation, Mrs. Xie's refusal would be unreasonable.

He looked at his daughter again, afraid that she would not join in the fun.

Moreover, ladies from high-ranking families in Kyoto are not likely to join in the fun.

"Mother, Mrs. Mu's kind invitation, it's not appropriate not to go. Coincidentally, my daughter has never been to the lantern banquet in Yong'an Lane, so I might as well go."

"it is good."

Xie said and looked at Zhao, "I'm causing trouble for you."

"There is no need to be so polite. I will immediately order people to prepare for the carriage and horses. We will go shopping later."

Mrs. Zhao also ordered her mother-in-law to clean up the west wing.

Let Mr. Xie take Ye Jingzhao to rest.

Mr. Xie is not sleepy, and Ye Jingzhao is not too sleepy either.

But because of the fact that sitting for a long time makes people sleepy easily, Ye Jingzhao fell asleep after sitting for a while.

Xie went to chat with Zhao.

The sun was gradually setting in the west, but it was still bright.

The carriage is accompanied by servants, wives and maids who are all ready.

Mrs. Zhao came to invite.

Mrs. Xie took her daughter out and thanked her again.

The three of them rode in the same carriage, with the maids and maids following on both sides of the carriage, and the servant at the end.

When we arrived at Yong'an Lane, the sky gradually darkened.

The lamps under the eaves of the long street have been lit.

On the small stalls on both sides of the long street, there are also all kinds of lamps, red, purple or yellow, and a variety of flowers, competing for splendor.

There are also shops selling small trinkets.

The carriage stopped in a secluded alley, and the three of them got out of the carriage.

The mammies and maids followed closely, and the servants stood guard in front, left, and right.

There are gradually more and more people in Yong'an Lane.

Not long after, it was blocked and no cars or horses could pass.

Guards patrolling the city were stationed on both sides of the long street. There was a water tank ten meters away, filled with water.

The thing to guard against is a misfire.

After all, this Yong'an Alley is different from the adjacent alleys. It is mostly filled with lights and fireworks, and it is most prone to water leakage.

Just because of the experience accumulated over the years, I have enough water.

Nothing went wrong.

Seeing many people, Mrs. Xie was worried about her daughter, so she held her hand tightly.

But the crowd was still too crowded, and after a while, the mother and daughter were dispersed.

Fortunately, the mothers-in-law and servant girls who followed each other guarded their own duties.

Not afraid at all.

But it was gone for a while.

Mrs. Zhao didn't expect that this year's lantern feast would be much more lively than before.

When he came here before, Lord Hou took her for a stroll quietly. At that time, there were not as many people as there are now.

Mrs. Zhao saw Mrs. Xie standing on a stone street, looking around anxiously.

I have no intention of continuing shopping.

Walking towards Ms. Xie, "Don't worry, my close maid, maid, and servant will follow you, and you won't get separated."

Xie looked at Zhao. Although she understood, she was still worried.

The two were together, and sent half of the servants to look for Ye Jingzhao.

Earlier, Ye Jingzhao was scattered by the crowd with his mother. He wanted to find his mother, but accidentally saw a very familiar figure at a corner.

Instinctively walked towards the figure.

Then he saw clearly that there was a burly man holding a child's mouth and nose tightly with one hand, looking around with a vigilant expression.

The child had fainted, and his body was limp in the man's restraining arms.

Seeing Ye Jingzhao walking towards him with a group of people.

The man quickly picked up the child and ran into the alley.

"Go quickly and stop that man and the child!"

Ye Jingzhao blurted out before he could react, and rushed forward with his skirt in hand. The people following him were startled and came to their senses.

Hastily swarmed to follow.

I was afraid that if this young lady made a mistake, I would not be able to recover.

Hongzao followed closely behind his own lady, and shouted, "Miss Si, Miss Si!"

Ye Jingzhao ran so hard that he was out of breath. He couldn't run anymore, so he had to stop and take a breath. He didn't dare to be careless and ordered people to continue chasing.

Fortunately, that alley is a dead end.

Ye Jingzhao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Fourth, what did you see?"

Hong Zao calmed down and asked with a scared look on his face.
