The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

When we arrived at the place where the Xun Festival was held, it was just as Qin Shuyu had said, with huge crowds of people.

Seeing that the carriage could not drive in, Qin Shuyu had no choice but to ask the driver to park the carriage three streets away and walk to Langyue Street with his family.

The old lady's body had not yet fully recovered and she could not walk after taking two steps.

Seeing that He Shiyi was about to run away, she was afraid that something might happen, so she quickly waved her hands and said unhappily:

"Go and look after Yi Ge'er. There are many people here. Don't let him bump into the wrong people, or else he will cause trouble for the family."

Qin Shuyu twisted the handkerchief in her hand, looking conflicted:

"Then mother, you..."

"With Qi Qiu accompanying me, how can I get lost? I'll just rest for a while and then go back by myself. If I had known there were so many people outside, I shouldn't have listened to your nonsense and come out to join in the fun!"

Seeing that there was some resentment in the old lady's words, Qin Shuyu smiled awkwardly, and coaxed his mother-in-law a few more words. After he had done everything he could to save face, he left with his brothers and sisters.

Without the old lady following her, Qin Shuyu felt much more relaxed, but she really couldn't hold He Shiyi back. After giving him a few words of advice, she let him go. She only prayed in her heart that this little naughty boy would not cause trouble for the family again.

"Sister Mianmian, come on, I'll take you fishing."

Before leaving, He Shiyi flirted with Zhao Mianmian on a whim.

However, after what happened last time, Zhao Mianmian would never trust her little cousin again.

Zhao Mianmian looked down at her feet, then stretched out her new shoes, pointed at the flower tassels on them, and replied seriously, "I didn't bring Zhuzhu."

Zhao Mianmian's voice is soft and sweet, and it sounds pleasant even when she speaks seriously.

But when He Shiyi heard the four words Zhao Mianmian said, his face froze. He glanced at Qin Shuyu guiltily several times, and finally slipped away without looking back.

[Hahahaha, did you see He Shiyi's expression? It really made me laugh to death.]

[Tsk tsk, I didn't expect the anchor to be such a master at scolding people, using the most serious tone and saying the most heartbreaking words. I'm afraid that the young man from the He family will think of the last time he lost money and lost face when he sees the pearl shoes in the future.]

[Hehe, you little brat, you need to be taught a lesson so that you can learn your lesson.]

Seeing He Shiyi slip away as if her butt was on fire after saying a few words to Zhao Mianmian, He Xulan turned her head and looked at her little cousin with a suspicious look.

However, Zhao Mianmian was looking around curiously at the moment, with a heartless look, so He Xulan had to suppress her doubts and put He Shiyi's abnormality aside for the time being.

Without He Shiyi causing trouble, Qin Shuyu took the two sisters for a walk, stopping as they went, and soon they had walked from the west side to the east side of Langyue Street.

A few people originally wanted to go to Minghe Tower on the east side of the street to rest, but unfortunately the manager of the store was standing at the door and kept apologizing, saying that the building had been cleared out and could not receive guests for the time being, so the three of them had to continue walking towards the river.

"I don't know who it is, but he is so generous that he actually booked Minghe Tower for a whole day. When Empress Dowager Xiao left the palace, there was no such grand ceremony!"

Tamamo, who went to ask questions, was turned away. He came back and told about the situation in Minghe Tower, and then started complaining in front of his wife and daughter.

Qin Shuyu grew up in the capital and was not surprised by this kind of situation. Seeing Yumozuo's outspokenness, he quickly rebuked her:

"Come on, if you can't get in, then don't go. It's the same if we go to another place. You better watch your mouth and don't let it cause trouble."

Yumao probably knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly pursed her lips and stood aside, leaving Zhao Mianmian alone to look at Yumao and then at Qin Shuyu, very curious about what kind of person the "Empress Dowager Xiao" they were talking about was.

Unable to enter Minghe Tower, the female family members could not rest on the street.

Fortunately, He An had arranged a pleasure boat in advance. The group gritted their teeth and insisted on walking forward for a while, and finally arrived at the place where the boat was moored by the river.

The capital city is a prosperous and wealthy place, where many nobles enjoy themselves.

At this moment, there were dozens of pleasure boats of all sizes parked on the river, which was several meters wide. All of them were decorated with lights and were lined up in a row, looking very lively.

The pleasure boat is parked at the shore, so it does not hinder the pedestrians on the shore. After taking down the bamboo curtain, the north-south ventilation is cool and pleasant. Put some fruits and snacks on the boat, sit there, chat or play, it is very leisurely.

"It's a good thing we didn't go to Minghe Tower! I didn't expect this pleasure boat to be so spacious. We can listen to some songs and drink some fruit tea here. It's much more comfortable than that crowded lobby!"

Yu Pu waited on Qin Shuyu and the two sisters to get on the boat. She first inspected the boat up and down, then took down the bamboo curtain, poured tea for the masters, and placed fruits and vegetables prepared in advance on the boat. Finally, she sighed in front of Qin Shuyu.

Qin Shuyu looked around and was quite satisfied: "The housekeeper is thoughtful today."

Once on the pleasure boat, they no longer wanted to get off.

He Shiyi came over to show his face halfway through the trip, as if to report that he was safe. The rest of the time, Qin Shuyu and He Xulan were chatting about this and that, very...

Boring!!

As a result, Zhao Mianmian couldn't resist the sleepiness soon and fell into a deep sleep in the shade.

When Zhao Mianmian woke up, it was already past the hour of You, and even the sky outside had darkened.

"Look, this pleasure boat is really comfortable. Our sister Mian slept for two hours!"

Tamamo teased Zhao Mianmian on the side.

Zhao Mianmian didn’t know that she had slept for four hours and scratched her head embarrassedly.

She took the rice porridge handed to her by Yu Pu, took a sip carefully, and just as she looked around, she heard someone in the boat across the river mention a name that was very familiar to her.

"When Miss Yang came, she said she saw Master Xie Chen on the shore. He was wearing a horse-riding and archery uniform, and he looked like he had just come off the field. She even asked us why we didn't go and see the fun."

"Oh, that horseback archery competition is held every year, and it's not interesting. Besides, Master Xie has already taken the field, so what's the suspense about the outcome? Just ask, in the capital, who can rival him in horseback archery?!"

"That may not be the case. I heard someone say that Prince Ning's riding and archery skills are also first-rate. If he hadn't gone to the northwest, it's hard to say who would have won the first prize!"

"Ning Wang Crown Prince? You are talking about Liang Yuanjing, the Ning Wang Crown Prince who just married a Crown Princess and then abandoned his new wife and hurried to the northwest?"

"Isn't it him..."
