A dream ends life

Although they said that only three people were going out, in fact, there were a lot of maids and old women accompanying them, and three carriages were prepared.

The carriage first stopped in front of a restaurant.

Everyone got off the car and surrounded the old lady as she walked inside. Since they were out to have fun, they naturally went to have breakfast first.

The old lady rarely goes out and is very energetic. She has been very lucky recently and has won a lot of money.

She had already threatened that she would treat us to breakfast today.

Su Ci and Fu were very cooperative and ordered a lot of food. They were not worried about not being able to finish it. With so many servants outside, it would be nice to just eat it as a snack.

After breakfast, Fu deliberately said loudly: "This breakfast that I don't have to pay for is delicious!"

Su Ci nodded, "Yes, I am full. What should I do? I won't be able to eat at noon."

Mother Zhao glared at them and said, "I can eat more. I want to eat a lot at noon!"

She didn't pay for lunch because she wanted to eat more.

The two men sandwiched the old lady in between, walked out of the restaurant, and strolled slowly forward.

Along the way, the three of them enjoyed listening to the vendors' calls and buying some small things from time to time.

It was a quarter of an hour later when we arrived at Lengcui Pavilion.

When the shopkeeper saw Su Ci, his eyes flashed, he waved away the waiter, and went to greet them personally, inviting the three people to the second floor.

Mrs. Fu and Mother Zhao were dazzled by the sight. The jewellery in front of them were all the latest models. Moreover, all the jewellery in Lengcui Pavilion were one-of-a-kind. Even if someone imitated them, they could not be as exquisite as the original ones.

Su Ci picked up a gold and jade longevity lock from the tray and turned it over and over in her hands to look at it.

Fu liked it at first sight, "This longevity lock is really beautiful."

Su Ci smiled and nodded, placed the longevity lock on another small tray, and picked up a small ice jade lock.

Next are Guanyin pendants and Buddha head pendants of different styles made from different materials such as gold, silver, jade and stone.

After selecting all the items, the small tray was filled to the brim.

He gave Chunshui a look, and Chunshui understood, then called the shopkeeper aside and whispered a few words to him.

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded.

Fu chose a set of jade head-dress for her mother-in-law, while Zhao's mother chose a set of ruby ​​head-dress and a pair of sapphire jewelry, one set for Su Ci and the other for Fu.

Su Ci felt warm at heart as she watched their actions. Fu Shi did not choose one for herself, but bought one for her mother-in-law; Zhao's mother did not choose one for herself, but was willing to give one to each of her and Fu Shi.

This is what family life should be like!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still whispering to each other as they went downstairs.

Zhao's mother: "I'm old and I don't go out much, so it's useless for me to wear those things. You should buy more for yourself."

Fu also said: "I am pregnant now and I cannot leave the house. It is useless to wear it."

Mother Zhao: "Why is it useless? Show it to your husband."

Mrs. Fu said, "We are an old couple, and my husband doesn't even look at me anymore." She said these words with regret, but she couldn't stop smiling on her face.

After she was diagnosed with pregnancy, she wanted to take a concubine for Zhao Qi'an, but Zhao Qi'an refused sternly, saying that he would never take a concubine in this life, and she was the only one.

If she said she was not happy, she would be lying. Her husband was the only one among her sisters who did not have a concubine, and even her mother did not have such a good fortune as her.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went downstairs whispering to each other. The selected items were packed in a specially made brocade box, and when they saw them come out, they had someone deliver them to the accompanying carriage.

There are too many things to choose from. Lengcui Pavilion can deliver them to your home and charge you for them. No one would go shopping with tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper directly let someone put him in the carriage.

Fu knew the rules here, and just as she was about to ask, the shopkeeper interrupted her.

"Your things have been paid for. Please take your time, guests. You are welcome to come back next time."

Mrs. Fu frowned. There were many things in the box that she had never seen before. Could it be that the shopkeeper made a mistake?

Not only is it free, but it also costs a lot more. This is so weird.

If someone bribed her husband, it probably wouldn't happen.

Who would take out tens of thousands of taels of silver without leaving their name? Isn't it a waste of effort?

Su Ci said, "Let's go! I asked Chunshui to book a pleasure boat. I haven't been to the lake here yet."

Chunshui looked at the confused faces of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and said with a smile: "Old Madam, Madam, don't worry, you will know when you go back and ask the head of the Zhao family."

The two nodded. It seemed that this was the only way. With the current status of their Zhao family in Dingzhou City, they were not afraid of not being able to come up with the money. At worst, they could just send more money over.

When I arrived at the lake, before I got on the boat, I met Zhao Qi'an who had just got off a large pleasure boat.

Seeing them, he was very surprised: "Why are you here?"

Fu wiped his nose and said, "You smell like alcohol. How much did you drink?"

Zhao Qi'an said with a smile: "The Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Qi country medicine merchant here today, so we had a few extra drinks."

Letting those around him leave on their own, Zhao Qi'an, along with his mother and wife, boarded the houseboat booked by Su Ci.

The painted boat was very large, and there was a heavily made-up actor singing a little tune inside.

Mother Zhao thought everything was so new. Although her son had become successful, she had never been to the pleasure boat. It was really nice to have a feast and listen to music there.

Su Ci whispered something to her, and Fu, who was standing next to her, whispered to Zhao Qi'an about the matter of Lengcui Pavilion.

Zhao Qi'an smiled meaningfully after hearing this and looked at his wife. "Even if someone has paid the money, you don't have to worry about it. Just keep it."

Fu looked at her husband and saw Zhao Qi'an pointing his chin in the direction of Su Ci.

Fu was shocked. "You mean, it was Miss Su who paid? But I didn't see her go downstairs, nor did I see her say anything to the shopkeeper?"

Zhao Qi'an laughed: "The owner of Lengcui Pavilion is Miss Su, you guys made a fortune again!"

Zhao Qian'an looked like he had made a fortune, which made Fu laugh. Her husband's wealth was one of the highest in Dingzhou City.

Unexpectedly, he could look so money-loving. The couple put their heads together and laughed heartily.

At this moment, the ship suddenly shook and everyone was shaken violently.

Zhao Qi'an put his arm around his wife's waist to steady her.

Su Ci and Zhao's mother hugged each other and soon stabilized themselves.

Zhao Qi'an's eyes were dark. He asked his servants to protect his family, walked out of the cabin and came to the deck.

Su Ci followed out.

The attendant came back quickly and said, "Master, something seems to have happened to the pleasure boat ahead. Someone fell into the lake."

Zhao Qian'an and Su Ci looked side by side at the pleasure boat in front of them.

There were several figures swaying on the deck, and there was a person in the lake, struggling up and down, but no one went down to rescue him.

The two saw the situation clearly and decided not to meddle in other people's business. They turned around and went back inside. Su Ci felt a pain in his shoulder, and then his body flew up and fell straight into the lake.

Zhao Qi'an then chased after him, and just when Su Ci was about to fall into the lake, a white figure flew past quickly.

Looking at Su Ci again, she was nowhere to be seen. Zhao Qian turned over, touched the water surface with his toes, and jumped back onto the boat.

Seeing the two people hugging each other on the boat, his pale face softened.
