My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite
Chapter 8 Yang'an City
As night fell, the river was shimmering with light, and a ship was slowly approaching the shore in the hazy moonlight.
The bow of the boat cut through the calm water, making a slight sound of water.
Several oil lamps hanging on the side of the ship swayed in the wind, and the dim light reflected the mottled hull.
The lights on the shore are dotted, echoing the stars in the sky.
As soon as the boat stopped, the passengers couldn't wait to step off the steps.
The dock of Yang'an City is a prosperous scene. At night, the dock area is brightly lit, with thousands of lights reflecting against the stars in the sky.
The river was sparkling, and there were densely packed ships and masts like a forest.
The lights at the bow and stern, bright or dim, sway on the water, reflecting the river water, like a brilliant sea of stars.
The unloading workers carried lanterns and busily shuttled between the ships, shouting one after another.
Liu Yunniang held her daughter's hand and walked down the deck carefully, followed by Chunxi and four guards.
The pier was bustling at night, and the mother and daughter quickly blended into the bustling crowd.
Liu Yunniang was dressed in simple and elegant clothes, with her hair tied up in a bun and a veil on her head, covering her beautiful face.
Ye Xiaoxiao was wearing a jade pink dress and had two round buns on her hair. She looked like a delicate and delicate girl, with her big eyes looking around curiously.
The mother and daughter walked slowly along the street. The stalls on the roadside were filled with all kinds of novel gadgets. Ye Xiaoxiao found everything curious and stopped from time to time, staring at those small objects with desire in her eyes.
Liu Yunniang smiled and patiently explained to her daughter.
"Mother, Yang'an City is so lively here. Can we not stay on the boat tonight?"
Ye Xiaoxiao was attracted by the lively scenes and really didn't want to go back. It was too much fun here. Things that she had only seen on TV before now appeared before her eyes one by one.
Liu Yunniang knew that her daughter was having so much fun that she didn't want to leave. She smiled and coaxed her, "Xiaoxiao, be good. You promised your mother, but you forgot. We didn't bring many people with us this time. If we stay in the inn in the city, it might not be safe. It's better to stay on the boat. Xiaoxiao, be obedient."
Ye Xiaoxiao was only happy for a moment and said casually that this was ancient times and even though she and her daughter had servants with them, there was no guarantee that anything would happen, so it was better not to take risks.
Now that he had come to his senses, he felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and smiled at his mother in a flattering way.
"Mom, I was wrong. I was having so much fun that I forgot that I was comfortable on the boat. Our boat is big and beautiful. I love it."
"Xiaoxiao is so good. We can walk around for a while. Don't be in a hurry. See if there is anything you want to eat." Liu Yunniang also felt sorry for her daughter. She had hardly been out of the house in many years, so she wanted to let her play for a while longer.
As she walked, a strong fragrance wafted into her nose. Ye Xiaoxiao sniffed hard and turned her little head around, looking for the source of the fragrance.
It turned out to be a wonton stall. The stall owner was wrapping wontons skillfully, and the water in the pot was boiling and steaming.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but tug at Liu Yunniang's clothes, raised her little face, and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I want to eat."
Liu Yunniang understood what she meant, squatted down, gently wiped the saliva from the corner of her daughter's mouth, and said gently: "Little greedy cat, mother will buy it for you right away."
The mother and daughter sat down at the small table in front of the stall.
The stall owner greeted us warmly and soon brought us two bowls of steaming wontons.
Chunxi quickly took out a few copper coins from her purse and gave them to the stall owner.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to pick up the spoon, but her little hands were not flexible enough and the spoon kept shaking in her hands.
She stared at the wontons in the bowl with her eyes shining. The wontons were plump and round, like blooming flowers, floating in the fresh and fragrant soup, sprinkled with chopped green onions and dried shrimps, which was extremely tempting.
She carefully scooped up a wonton, and just as she brought it close to her mouth, she was scalded by the heat and gasped. Her little mouth pouted, looking extremely adorable.
Liu Yunniang smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, baby, blow on it before you eat it." Her daughter blew on it obediently, then took a bite. The tender meat filling and the slippery dough blended in her mouth. A satisfied smile instantly bloomed on her face, her eyes narrowed into slits, and she said incoherently, "Mom, it's delicious, so delicious!"
The daughter took the snack and took a bite eagerly. A satisfied smile instantly appeared on her face, and she said vaguely, "Mom, you eat too."
Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter's satisfied expression and felt warm in her heart.
She also picked up the spoon and tasted it slowly.
The delicious aroma of the wontons spread across her tongue, bringing her a sense of comfort amidst her fatigue from the journey.
The wontons in this restaurant are really delicious. Liu Yunniang was amazed after taking a bite.
"Chunxi, buy a few more and sit down to eat together. It really tastes good."
Chunxi quickly asked the guards behind him to sit down together.
Seeing this, the boss became even more enthusiastic.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. It will be ready soon. Please wait a moment."
The boss quickly put the wontons into the pot and brought them up.
Ye Xiaoxiao ate with gusto, and soon beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She didn't bother to wipe it and continued to eat with big mouthfuls, not even noticing that there was soup on the corners of her mouth.
Liu Yunniang gently wiped away the sweat and stains from the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes full of kindness.
"Mom, you should eat more too." The daughter raised her head and put the wontons in the spoon to Liu Yunniang's mouth.
Liu Yunniang ate it with a smile, and her heart felt sweeter than the wonton in her mouth.
After eating the wontons, Ye Xiaoxiao touched her round belly. It was really big!
The group had not walked far when they were attracted by a burst of noisy cheers. The mother and daughter looked in the direction of the sound and saw a circle of people gathered in front of them. It turned out that a wonderful acrobatic performance was being performed.
The artist in front of me was performing a performance of balancing bowls. He was balancing a pile of bowls steadily on his head, taking small steps flexibly, and even performing some difficult bending movements, but the pile of bowls was always stable without any shaking.
Ye Xiaoxiao clenched her fists nervously and stared without blinking until the artist successfully completed the performance. Then she breathed a long sigh of relief and clapped her hands excitedly.
Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but scream: "Mom, this is amazing!"
Her little face turned red with excitement.
Liu Yunniang looked at her daughter with a smile and gently touched her head.
Ye Xiaoxiao was completely immersed in the wonderful performance, with surprise and excitement in her eyes. Her small body swayed unconsciously to the rhythm of the performance, as if she had become a part of the performance.
After the performance, Ye Xiaoxiao was still not satisfied. She kept pulling at Liu Yunniang's clothes and chattering about the wonderful moments she had just seen.
Seeing her daughter so excited, Liu Yunniang was also infected. Such days were really good. In the future, she could take Xiaoxiao out for a walk and avoid being confined to the backyard with only the sky above her head in her eyes.
Ye Xiaoxiao agreed to go back only after she had been walking around for so long that she could no longer walk. Chunxi quickly called the guards who were following them, picked up the young lady, and the group finally got on the boat.
