Chapter 224 He Li (eight more)
"Snapped!"
The passers-by on the street were startled, and many people stopped and looked over.
Beside a table by the window, a blue-robed man of medium height raised his hand and slapped heavily on the face of a round-faced woman in her early thirties wearing a blue dress.
"Sunshi," the blue-robed man reprimanded the round-faced woman with disgust, "Did you intentionally scald Wu Niang's hand?!"
On the table, a white porcelain teacup was poured, and the tea was spilled.
"I didn't..." A scarlet palm print appeared on Sun's left face, the wooden hairpin on the bun was slanted, a few strands of hair were scattered messily on the cheeks, and there were tears in his eyes.
Beside the man in blue robe, a charming young woman with an oval face covered her stomach with one hand, and she screamed in shock: "Aiya, husband, the slave family feels a little stomachache."
"Wu Niang, are you okay?" The blue-robed man hugged the young woman in his arms distressedly, "How is your stomach?"
The young woman bit her lower lip and said softly, "Perhaps our child was frightened and was kicking the slave's house just now... It's all right now."
Said, the young woman gave Sun a light side glance, and she described it with the complacence of a winner.
The blue-robed man first breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and when he turned to look at Sun again, his expression was both disgusting and angry, and he reprimanded: "Sun, you hen who can't lay eggs, in case you scare Wu Niang's stomach. Child, can you afford it?!"
"A woman with no tolerance like you, I should divorce you!"
His voice became more and more high-pitched, and it spread almost halfway across the street, and more and more people looked towards him.
Sun shi covered her red and swollen left cheek, the tears in her eye sockets could not be controlled from falling from the end of her eyes, her body trembled uncontrollably, her head lower and lower, lower and lower...
"Huh? Isn't this Boss Li of Baqianzhai?" Xiao Er remembered and gave a high five.
"It's Li Baqian!" Next to him, an old woman spat on the ground with disdain, "This Li Baqian has no conscience, I think back then, he was very poor, and he saved money by relying on his wife's craftsmanship to open Baqian Zhai. "
"Now that the business is booming, and the days are good, he dislikes his daughter-in-law for not being able to give birth, and takes a concubine."
"Hmph, he even beats his wife as a concubine for the sake of a concubine. This surnamed Li has no conscience, really no conscience!"
Another middle-aged woman sighed: "This woman still has to be able to have children."
's words attracted the approval of many people around, looking at Sun's eyes full of sympathy, how much contempt for her husband.
Anle grew up in the palace since she was a child, and was well protected. No one would tell her about these disputes between wives and concubines, which she could not understand.
"Are you going to be beaten if you don't have a child?" the little girl in the wheelchair whispered softly, "Then I'd better not look for the concubine!"
Her voice was so soft that only Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi who were in the wheelchair could hear it.
"Of course not." Gu Yanfei leaned over to An Le's ear, and said sarcastically, "It won't be the case with animals."
"An Le, when you choose a concubine in the future, you must keep your eyes open. You have to choose a concubine who only has you in your heart."
An Le nodded obediently, and whispered to Gu Yanfei with his hand half-covered: "I listened to the royal father, the royal father said that he will choose an obedient consort for me."
Gu Yanfei laughed out loud, nodded earnestly and said, "Well, it's good to be obedient."
"When the time comes, I'll check it out for you." She teased the little girl playfully.
"Yeah!" An Le was even more happy, pursing his lips and nodding straight.
Chu Yi looked at the two people who were whispering, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his thoughtful gaze fell on Gu Yanfei's face.
More and more people flocked to watch the fun, pointing at the three people in the lobby, but no one guessed the lantern riddles.
Seeing this, the Boss Li in the lobby of the restaurant felt somewhat embarrassed. He threw a piece of silver on the table and said, "This is the money for drinks."
He carefully helped the oval-faced young woman up, wrapped his arms around her slender waist and said softly: "Wu Niang, let's go, wait for the lantern festival, there are still fireworks at the Jokhang Temple tonight."
He ignored his wife, Sun, and just walked out of the restaurant with his concubine in his arms, while Sun covered his face, walked behind him with his head down, and lost his mind.
Three people walked past Anle's wheelchair.
Gu Yanfei supported the wheelchair, stood up straight, and said, "An Le, leave it to me, don't worry, my vision is very accurate, like this lady, who has a son and a daughter in her life."
"Like this Master Li...he was born without children and daughters."
Her voice was not too heavy, and other people around could not hear it, but it just happened to let the three of Mr. Li hear clearly.
Mr. Li, who was holding his concubine, changed his face instantly, turned his head and glared at Gu Yanfei, his eyes were fiery and said angrily: "Hey, what did you just say?!"
Is she cursing him for not being able to have a son, or is she saying that he has been cuckolded? !
Mr. Li's face was ashen, and the clouds shrouded him, and he was very angry.
He took a big step forward, raised his hand and waved towards Gu Yanfei's face...
However, Gu Yanfei's whip was faster than his, and the long whip flew out like a snake, as if consciously, it wrapped tightly around Master Li's wrist.
"Let me go..." Master Li desperately tried to break free from the whip on his wrist.
"Okay!" Gu Yanfei retracted the whip in good manners, pulled the whip at will, and with skillful force, he pulled a big man in place and spun it around, staggering, and fell to the ground.
All this happened in the snap of your fingers, and the Sun family and the concubine Wu Niang next to them didn't react at all.
Other people on the street also looked at this scene dumbfounded, dumbfounded.
Only Anle was overjoyed and gave high fives happily.
Gu Yanfei put away the whip, looked at the Sun with smiling eyes, and said sternly: "Reconcile."
"After reconciliation, I will ensure that your next marriage will be better, with both children and a harmonious husband and wife."
Mr. Sun raised his head and stared at Gu Yanfei in a daze. He was a little stupid, and even forgot to cover up the shocking palm print on his face.
On the ground, Mr. Li fell with ashes, got up from the ground in embarrassment, pointed at Gu Yanfei and yelled in anger, "You dare to hit me?!"
"Have you never heard that it would be better to demolish a temple rather than destroy a marriage?"
"I want to sue the official, sue you..."
"Ah!" An excited female voice interrupted Mr. Li who was furious, "Heavenly girl, it's a goddess!"
The old woman next to rushed to Gu Yanfei like a gust of wind, looking at her reverently, her eyes seemed to glow.
Mr. Li was at a loss, his brows were deeply wrinkled, and the veins on his forehead jumped.
The old woman pointed at Gu Yanfei, pulled Sun's sleeve excitedly, and said, "Big sister, this is a goddess, a goddess who showed her magical powers at the gate of the palace a few days ago!"
"The goddess of the sky is vast, she is the goddess of the Nine Heavens who descended to the mortal world. She has the ability to call the wind and call the rain. What she said was right!"
The old woman's voice became more and more excited, and it was almost about to break.
"..." Sun shi blinked, blinked again, and remembered a little bit.
On the ninth day of the lunar new year, because she heard that the Dengwen drum was beaten, she also went to the Chengtianmen area to watch the excitement, but at that time she stood far away and could not see the face of "Tiannu".
Now listening to this old woman, Sun shi coincided with the girl in front of her and the "heavenly girl" of Chengtianmen.
"Yes, it's a goddess." Mrs Sun murmured stupidly, her eyes burning.
Just now, the goddess said, let her reconcile?
Said that she will have both children and a happy husband and wife in the future? !
Mr. Li, whose face was covered in dust, widened his eyes, his face turned pale with fright, and the words of the goddess echoed in his mind. Did she say that he has no children?
"Sister Sun, what are you still doing, let's go home!" Master Li called out to Yuan Pei in a commanding manner, and the concubine named Wu Niang beside him looked suspiciously.
"Harmony!" Mr. Sun met Mr. Li's strong eyes and said decisively, "I want to get back with you!"
The goddess is right!
She has had enough of this useless life!
"I saw the goddess!"
There were already some people gathered around the restaurant, and when they heard the noisy shouts of "He Li", "Heavenly Girl" and so on, more people gathered around, and their eyes shot at Gu Yanfei.
Gu Yanfei saw that the situation was not good, he quickly pulled Chuyi's cuff, and said to him and An Le, "Let's go!"
Chu Yi nodded with a smirk: "Let's go!"
Before the surrounding people could react, the two pushed into Anle's wheelchair and hurried away.
Chu Yi made a gesture in a certain direction calmly, and Xiao Shi and the people from the four seas in the back flowed into the crowd, and stopped some passers-by who were chasing behind them without a trace.
When passing through a dark and deserted alley, a middle-aged man in green clothes with a white face and no beard stuck his head out of a dark alley and waved to Gu Yanfei and Chu Yi.
The three of Gu Yanfei walked quickly into the alley, Anle in the wheelchair covered his mouth and patiently waited for the surrounding noise to fade away.
"Pfft."
The three looked at each other and smiled.
Gu Yanfei laughed uncontrollably, and An Le laughed uncontrollably as well, looking at the other person in the alley with shining eyes: "Father, why are you here?"
The emperor wearing a black embroidered cloud-silver rat skin cloak walked over from the depths of the alley, with a gentle smile on his clear face.
The emperor walked towards Anle slowly, and said with a smile, "Can't the emperor come to see the lanterns?"
Zhao Rang, who was wearing an ordinary green robe, pursed his lips and held back a smile.
He was the only one who knew that the emperor had no intention of leaving the palace, but after the eldest prince and the eldest princess set off, the more the emperor thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he came to the lantern festival on a whim.
"Of course!" An Le happily handed a jar of wine to the emperor, "Father, this is the 'Jianlan Chun' we won by guessing lantern riddles."
After receiving the wine from his daughter, the emperor smiled until his eyes narrowed, and praised the filial piety of the precious daughter again and again.
The emperor handed over the wine jar to Zhao Rang again, and suggested nonchalantly: "There should be fireworks over at the Jokhang Temple, let's hurry over there."
"There are so many of us, it's too eye-catching, Anle, you can come with the father and the emperor, okay?"
Anle is a good boy. When the emperor asked her if she was okay, her first reaction was yes, she nodded obediently.
As for Chu Yi and Gu Yanfei, they didn't have a chance to speak at all. The emperor and Zhao Rang had already pushed Anle's wheelchair and left, and said, "You two hide for a while."
