Quick Wear: The Soft Waist is Good at Getting Pregnant pt.1

The Misogyny Emperor vs. the Wife of a Powerful Official (16)

  "Sir, there are too many people on the street. What if I bump into you..."

  "It's okay."

  Feng Jue obediently stepped aside at Shen Tingsi's insistence, but he kept looking around, fearing that someone would suddenly rush over.

  When Feng Jue stepped aside, the people withdrew their gazes and turned to do their own things.

  "Masks, beautiful masks!"

  "Pear blossom paste, freshly made pear blossom paste!"

  The shouts of the vendors mixed together, and the whole street showed a thriving scene.

  "What festival is today? Why are so many people wearing masks?"

  Feng Jue asked in confusion. He saw many people wearing masks on their faces along the way.

  Shen Tingsi was also in Jiangnan for the first time, and he was not familiar with the customs here, so he was destined not to give Feng Jue an answer.

  "Masks, selling masks, all kinds of masks, you can choose, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

  "Sir, come and see our masks!"

  When Shen Tingsi and Feng Jue came to the mask shop, the owner called him enthusiastically.

  "Big brother, buy a mask. The patterns on the mask are all painted by my father!"

  The little boy wore a tiger-shaped mask on his face. He looked up at Shen Tingsi, with pride flashing in his big eyes.

  Shen Tingsi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, walked forward and picked a mask he liked.

  "How much silver?"

  "Not much! Five copper coins are enough!"

  The boss extended five fingers enthusiastically, and the next moment Feng Jue took out a purse from his chest.

  When handing the silver to the boss, Feng Jue also took a fancy to the mask. He took off the mask and put it on his face, then turned his head to look at his master.

  "Sir, what do you think of this mask? Does it suit me?"

  The abacus beads fell on Shen Tingsi's face, so he couldn't say anything more, and nodded.

  "Thank you, sir!"

  Feng Jue smiled and showed his big white teeth, turned his head and paid the silver to the boss.

  "Two big brothers, take care!"

  The little fat boy stood up and imitated the big tiger to make a grinning expression towards Feng Jue. Feng Jue couldn't help but reach out and poke the little fat boy's double chin.

  "You are so good. Can you tell me what festival it is today and why everyone is wearing masks on their faces?"

  "Big brother, there will be a light show in the south of the city in the evening, and everyone will wear masks!"

  "I see, see you in the evening."

  After finding out the reason from the little fat boy, Feng Jue turned back to Shen Tingsi: "Sir, do you want to go and see the light show in the evening?"

  "Let's go."

  Shen Tingsi put on the mask and continued to walk forward.

  "Yes!" 

  Feng Jue, who loves to join in the fun, followed Shen Tingsi excitedly, and his voice became louder in excitement.

  On the other side, Jiang Li and Qingzhu strolled on the street for more than half an hour, eating and drinking, and their daily life was very happy.

  Qingzhu rubbed his bloated stomach and asked, "Miss, where are we going next?"

  "Well, let's go to the mask stand in front and buy a mask."

  Qingzhu's eyes lit up, "Miss, do you want to watch the light show?"   

  "That's right, let's go and join in the fun."

  "Yeah! I remember that the young lady went up to perform during the last Lantern Festival!"

  Qingzhu nodded excitedly. Although she didn't say it, she didn't want to go back to the General's Mansion at all, and she didn't want the young lady to go back and suffer the anger of that group of people!

  The sun was setting in the west, and the sky soon darkened.

  Today is the Lantern Festival. When dusk fell, the people took their masks and walked towards the south of the city, wanting to join in the fun of the Lantern Festival.

  The south of the city is a scenic area with many lakes and beautiful scenery.

  Usually, people only come to the south of the city when they are having fun, and the rest of the time they do business in the east and west of the city.

  It is March, the season of flowers. The south of the city is full of the fragrance of flowers. Peach blossoms, pear blossoms and other flowers can be seen everywhere. The city is really full of flowers.

  Today is the Lantern Festival. As soon as I walked to the bridge in the south of the city, I saw the blazing fireworks in front of me.

  "Miss, look, there are acrobatics being performed in front again!"

  Qingzhu stood at the commanding height of Chengnan Bridge and looked at the noisy crowd in front. He saw a raging fire constantly coming out of the crowd, and the flames jumped out of the height of two people!

  "Good!"

  The moment the flames jumped out of the crowd, the onlookers applauded.

  "Miss, let's go, let's go to the front and take a look!"

  Qingzhu excitedly grabbed Jiang Li's wrist and pulled her towards the crowd in front.

  During this period of time, Qingzhu and Jiang Li stayed in the general's mansion and lived a very depressed life every day. Now that they came out, they finally released their nature, as if everything was back to the past. 

  For so many years, Qingzhu has long been accustomed to calling Jiang Li "Miss". Even though Jiang Li has now married into the general's mansion and become the young lady of the general's mansion, she has not changed her mouth. It's just a title, and Jiang Li let her go.

  "Good!"

  "One more!"

  After one of them finished performing, the people clapped and shouted for another one.

  Qingzhu and Jiang Li, who tried their best to get into the crowd, quickly covered their ears, smiled at each other and continued to rush forward.

  The people who gathered to watch the acrobatic performance were almost crowded together, even when Jiang Li and Qing Zhu squeezed in from the back, the people did not even turn their heads.

  The two leaned sideways and finally squeezed from the back of the crowd to the front with great effort, and their vision instantly widened.

  The acrobat was shirtless, and a thin layer of sweat soaked his wheat-colored skin, which was shiny under the light of the fire.

  "Today I will show you something rare!"

  The big man put down the torch in his hand with a mysterious look on his face, and then turned and walked towards the stage behind him.

  The people's eyes followed the big man's figure curiously, and the frequency of blinking decreased a lot, for fear of missing any wonderful scenes.

  Jiang Li and Qing Zhu's sight also followed the big man's figure, and finally watched the big man lift his feet and walk onto a large round stage.

  In previous years, a stage would be built for performances during the Lantern Festival, but the round stage was previously built in the peach forest in the south of the city for everyone to watch from all directions. In previous years, people climbed up the trees to watch more clearly.

  However, this year's stage was built under the South City Bridge, and people could only watch from three sides, and one side was blocked.

  "Bring the things up!"

  The big man shouted after he came to the round stage, and then two big men came out from behind the red silk carrying props.

  The prop was nothing else but a wooden box.

  Everyone looked at the wooden box that was carried up curiously, and they were all guessing what the wooden box was used for.

  However, they stared at the wooden box for a long time and couldn't guess what the wooden box was used for.

  "Everyone might as well guess what talent I will use this wooden box to perform for you later."

  The big man looked at everyone mysteriously, deliberately keeping them in suspense. The people looked at each other, and finally shook their heads, unable to guess what the big man was up to.

  "We can't guess, good man, don't keep us in suspense, tell us what this box is used for!"
