Tonight’s Shangsi Festival, the crowds are even worse than that of New Year’s Eve.
Luxury carriages come one after another.
On the banks of the moat, there are boats one after another. One of the largest painted boats was owned by the royal family. At this time, the prince was holding Bei Hengjin and standing on the deck of the painted boat.
Bei Hengjin stretched his neck and looked at the other side of the river. The place was already crowded with people placing river lanterns, and the lamps were filled with blessings.
The prince felt Bei Hengjin's eagerness and comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, the little one from the Ji family will definitely come."
Ji Hua did come, but she didn’t come this way. Instead, she was attracted by the strange things along the way.
【Silly Second Brother, that clay figurine is beautiful, go and pinch one, please. 】
How could Ji Linfeng control Ji Huaqiu? He immediately turned to Mrs. Ji behind him with a look of surprise on his face, "Mom, I see that the clay figurine is good at pinching, how about letting him pinch a sister?"
"Okay." Of course Mrs. Ji also heard Ji Hua's thoughts and cooperated with Ji Linfeng.
Ji Houye stared around cautiously, fearing that someone would bump into his precious daughter.
Ji Yushu was pushed by Zuo Tong.
The old clay figurine's craftsmanship is very good, and he can make a Jihua with juicy **** in just a few clicks. Cute and cute.
Ji Hua had a great time.
Not far away, Ji Hua’s eyes were attracted by the sideshows on the roadside again.
How could Ji Linfeng not understand her? He hugged her and squeezed into the circle without waiting for her to speak.
"good."
The juggling stall was performing a chest-breaking rock-breaking performance, which received a round of cheers. Ji Linfeng returned two taels of silver.
"Let's go, let's put the lanterns on the river." Ji Linfeng hugged Ji Hua, the milk dumpling, and squeezed out of the circle again. Several people behind him followed helplessly.
While passing by a meat stall, everyone saw a meat stall owner beating his wife.
The air is filled with the smell of alcohol.
Jihua recognized the meat stall owner as the alcoholic butcher. This is how his wife was beaten to death.
【It's him, the butcher, second brother, stop him quickly, he will beat the woman to death. 】
Jihua couldn’t help but kick her short legs, her face full of eagerness.
Before Ji Linfeng could transfer Ji Hua's hand, Lord Ji had already stepped forward to dissuade him: "What are you doing? You are bullying a weak woman under the emperor's feet. Are you still a man?"
The butcher saw someone meddling in other people's business. He stood unsteadily and shouted at Lord Ji: "Can you care if I beat my own woman? Get out of here!" After that, he even pushed Lord Ji.
The butcher was born tall and thick, with a face full of flesh. He doesn't look like a good person at first glance. Lord Ji felt so angry that his heart ached when he thought of the Qin family leaving his precious daughter to be educated by such a man.
“I will take charge of this matter today.” Ji Houye punched the butcher in the face with a selfish punch, causing the latter to fall to the ground.
When the woman saw this, she threw herself on the man and begged Lord Ji: "Don't fight me. I'm going to beat him to death. How am I, a woman, going to live?"
Ji Houye glared at the woman with hatred and said nothing.
Ji Hua also knew that most women in this era depended on men for their lives. If the butcher died, she would become a widow.
The world is still too harsh on women after all.
Ji Houye turned around to leave, but the butcher stood up like a carp, raised the butcher knife on the chopping board, and charged at Lord Ji fiercely.
【careful! 】
Jihua’s face turned pale with fright.
How could Ji Linfeng let him hurt Lord Ji? He spun around and kicked the man away, hitting the door and spitting out a mouthful of blood. The wine is also sober. The city guard heard the sound and rushed over. When they saw Lord Ji, they clasped their fists and saluted: "Master Marquis, what happened?"
Ji Houye said with a livid face: "This person has lawless eyes and regards human life as nothing. Take him back and interrogate him carefully."
"yes."
The man was taken away, and the woman was so frightened that she huddled in the corner and dared not speak.
Ji Hua just felt very happy.
In a good mood, Mrs. Ji hugged her and left.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her father throwing a money bag to the woman. The woman had tears on her face and looked here for a long time.
Ji Hua smiled sweetly at her and said silently: "Leave quickly, go far away, and make a small living to support yourself. It is better than being beaten by a man."
The woman loved Xiao Jihua very much on the first day he was brought here. If she hadn't been beaten to death by the butcher, she would have loved Xiao Jihua very much.
In this life, please leave and go far away. Don't come back again.
The woman stared blankly at Ji Hua's smiling face, and there seemed to be a voice deep in her heart telling her: Live well, you can live a colorful life without a man, don't care about the world's eyes.
The group of people walked along the crowd towards the moat, completely unaware that there were three killers following them a few meters behind them.
In the darkness, when An Ying saw Ji Linfeng's face clearly, he frowned: "This person really looks very much like that boy An Yan."
"Pavilion Master, that boy An Yan is missing now, but he has been hiding in the Ji Mansion before that. There is no guarantee that he will not hide the book in the Ji Family. If that person knows that our book is lost, no one can afford him. Thunder is angry."
"So, before that, we must find the booklet. It seems that the Ji family has not yet succeeded. Otherwise, the Ji family would not be able to remain so calm." Dark Eagle said after careful consideration.
The subordinate from before said again: "Pavilion Master, is it possible that this Ji Linfeng is An Yan? In order to prevent us from finding him, he deliberately pretended to be him."
"Whether it is yes or no, you will know after one or two tests." After saying this, Dark Eagle was ready to test Ji Linfeng personally.
But at this moment, someone called out to Ji Linfeng. "Brother Linfeng."
Everyone in the Ji family turned around and saw clearly that it was Jun Fu, and they were greatly surprised. Then the five members of the Ji family looked behind him in unison and saw Duanmu Yi wearing a veil.
A flash of panic flashed across the latter's little face under the veil, as if he didn't expect to meet the Ji family here.
【It's the second sister-in-law, great, great, I finally met the second sister-in-law. The Ji family must propose marriage to the Duanmu family as soon as possible, otherwise others will take the lead. 】
Thinking of this, Ji Hua suddenly thought of a more important person, that is the second princess Bei Hengjiao.
【In addition to Wu Zike, there is also the second princess Bei Hengjiao. Now that I think about it, I finally know the purpose of Emperor Yu's look at his second brother that night at the celebration banquet. Today's Ji family was too ostentatious, which made Emperor Yu jealous, so he began to target his second brother who was still healthy. 】
Bei Hengjiao got her haircut in January this year. The wish she made during her wedding ceremony was to marry a man as she wished, and she finally chose her second brother under the hint of Emperor Yu. 】
【Since ancient times, in order to prevent the exclusive power of relatives, those who are chosen to be attached to the horse cannot hold important positions in the court. It is even less likely that too many generals will be needed in a peaceful and prosperous age. 】
【It was just that the Ji family chose Duanmuyi ahead of the imperial family. Emperor Yu thought that Duanmuxiong was just a young servant, so he agreed to the marriage without much threat. The second princess thought that the Ji family had slapped her in the face, so she tried every possible means to plot against her second brother. 】
Several people who heard Ji Hua's voice felt uncomfortable, but they didn't show it at this time. He stepped forward to greet Jun Fu and Duan Muyi warmly.
"I have met the Marquis, Madam, the eldest son, and the second son." Duanmu Yi saluted several people one by one.
Ji Linfeng chuckled. As the younger sister said, he was a well-educated person.
"Since we have met, let's come together, Miss Duanmu." Mrs. Ji invited Duanmuyi.
Duanmuyi’s face hidden under the veil was full of shyness, and he nodded in agreement.
Recently, she had been very upset because of the affairs of the Wu family. It happened that Jun Fu was going out, and she wanted to go out and relax. I never expected to meet the Ji family.
This should be regarded as fate, right? !
