Chapter 094: Doing bad things during the Lantern Festival

After quarreling for a long time, Chu Jingyi finally went back, but he was reluctant to leave and squeezed out a few tears before leaving.

  If he didn't perform well today, Shen Zhicheng might not let him come to the general's mansion again.

  ...

  On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Hong had officially gone on duty.

  People in Beijing have been busy since the second day of the Lunar New Year.

  Shen Zhiqing's cake shop has been open for business since the third day of the Lunar New Year. If not for the urging of customers, he would have wanted to play for a few more days.

  Fortunately, two more cake shops opened in Beijing two years ago, otherwise he would be under great pressure.

  The cake business was a new thing, but it suddenly captured the hearts and stomachs of people in the capital. Now everyone is proud to have eaten cake.

  Three or four months ago, he passed on the cake technology to two other partners and signed an agreement. The Shen family received 20,000 taels.

  As for the cake, the Shen family cannot eat the entire market. In order to prevent outsiders from taking a piece of the cake, it is better to distribute the money to relatives and friends.

  Shen Zhiqing plans to go to the two adjacent prefectures outside the capital to investigate and expand the market after the Chinese New Year, and maybe open a branch in the summer.

  I heard from my sister that there was such a thing as brand franchise in her time, so the two partners' brands were also based on the Sweetheart Cake Shop founded by the Shen family.

  Starting this year, he will open Sweetheart Cake Shop to every place in Dai Viet.

  But it is also possible to join. He provides technical training, clerk training, store location selection, store decoration, tables, chairs and raw materials.

  In the blink of an eye, it's the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

  Ruan Ruan and the Shen family had dinner early, and when they came out to dress up, countless red lanterns, as well as lanterns of various shapes and colors, had been hung up in the General's Mansion.

  Shen Zhiyuan also travels in a wheelchair. Since he regained the ability to walk, he wants to go wherever there is excitement to make up for the regrets of previous years.

  Besides, he and Xu Wanrou hadn't seen each other for a few days, and they met outside today during the Lantern Festival.

  On the Lantern Festival, men, women and children of all ages can go out to enjoy the lanterns, guess lantern riddles, eat glutinous rice balls and watch fireworks.

  This day is also a day when girls can go out openly. On such a romantic night, it is easy to fall in love with teenagers and create happy events.

  Shen Zhiyu is also looking forward to the Lantern Festival tonight. He wants to see Jiang Lanru.

  Although they met at the racecourse a few days ago, people in the capital have a tradition of watching horse racing during the Spring Festival.

  Ruan Ruan is also very happy, because not only can he go out to play tonight, but he can also do a bad thing.

  That is, in the original novel, the heroine Shen Qingqing met the hero Xuan Beichen on the night of the Lantern Festival. The two fell in love at first sight and cherished each other.

  From then on, they were in a war camp, one wanted to sit on the dragon throne, and the other wanted to sit on the phoenix throne.

  Ruan Ruan wants to prevent the two of them from meeting tonight, but he can prevent it tonight, but what about tomorrow night and the night after?

  During the last Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Hong successfully prevented the Huns from meeting the Ninth Prince Xuan Beichen, but a few months later, one night in the ice and snow, he still contacted the Huns.

  Ruan Ruan knew that the plot of the novel "Phoenix Phoenix" would not be controlled by him, and the author would definitely keep rewriting the plot.

  It's just her personal plot that is completely beyond the author's control.

  The Shen family is still more or less controlled by the author, unless they can develop an independent personal consciousness and break away from the plot.

  Shen Hong had to go on duty in the palace on the night of the Lantern Festival, and the task of preventing Shen Qingqiu and Xuan Beichen from meeting was left to Shen Zhiyu and several of his men.

  This little thing should be easy to accomplish, so he wasn't worried at all.

  Cheng Yurong stayed here, and Ruan Ruan and her five sons set off in a mighty manner to the largest, longest and busiest street in the capital.

  Their family was dressed in exquisite and gorgeous clothes, and they brought a total of ten maids and twenty attendants out. There were also thirty secret guards who quietly protected the Shen family in the dark.

  There are so many people during the Lantern Festival that something could easily happen.

  But this place is the capital, and the safety index is the highest in the country.     Tonight, the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen sent 500 arresters and 1,000 yamen servants to maintain order.

  The palace also sent 3,000 soldiers and 1,000 guards to patrol every corner of the capital.

  If someone is caught causing trouble, he will be fined one thousand taels and imprisoned for ten days.

  If a criminal is caught, all property will be confiscated and the person sentenced to death.

  Under such heavy blows, let's see who dares to cause trouble and commit crimes.

  ...

  The streets are busy with traffic and crowded with people.

  There were the laughter of passers-by, the cries of vendors, the sounds of chaotic footsteps, and the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

  Countless red lanterns and colorful lanterns are hung in shops and streets.

  After walking for a stick of incense, the Shen family was a little tired. Shen Zhiyuan and Shen Zhiyu took their families to Yipin Pavilion, and they met Xu Wanrou and Jiang Lanru halfway.

  But I also met Chu Jingyi and Ye Sheng.

  "Why are you two here?" Shen Zhicheng stared at the two of them suspiciously, always feeling that something was going on between them.

  Could it be that...

  they are going to fight?

  "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, isn't it normal for us to go out and play?" Chu Jingyi pursed her lips, her face full of unhappiness.

  Because he asked Shen Zhicheng to come out to enjoy the lanterns tonight a few days ago, but Shen Zhicheng disagreed.

  Fortunately, he was smart and asked Ye Sheng to come out and ask Ye Sheng to find a way to find Shen Zhicheng.

  So, I really met the Shen family on the road to Yipin Pavilion.

  Ye Sheng's brain is still good.

  He is also the most knowledgeable and smartest among the three of them.

  "A Cheng, where are you going? Let's go together! It will be more lively when there are more people." Ye Sheng naturally walked next to Shen Zhicheng, that is, next to Ruan Ruan.

  Chu Jingyi was stunned: "???"

  Ye Sheng, you are so fast and you don't even wait for me.

  "Yeah, let's play together. Aunt Shen, you don't mind if we drop by with you!"

  "Why would you mind? You are just two children, and it's too dangerous to have no adults following you. You just play with us." Cheng Yurong said as The mother of six children is born with a maternal love and protective mechanism for other people's children.

  Ruan Ruan had a great time carrying a koi lantern. Her eldest brother bought it for her. She just took one more look at the koi lantern, and he asked someone to buy it immediately.

  Therefore, she didn't notice the arrival of Chu Jingyi and Ye Sheng at all now because the koi lanterns were so cute.

  She is very rare.

  "Ruan Ruan, what are you playing with? This is a koi lantern! It's so beautiful." Ye Sheng looked at Ruan Ruan who was fascinated by playing with the lantern and thought she looked very cute.

  Chu Jingyi strode over and knocked Ye Sheng away. "Ruan Ruan, look what Brother Chu bought? Thumb thump thump... it's a butterfly lantern. Do you like it? Isn't it very beautiful?"

  Ruan Ruan came back to his senses and saw a butterfly lantern appearing in front of him. He was fascinated. She doesn't want it.

  "Hehe... Gege... Hehehe..." She reached out to get the butterfly lanterns, holding a lantern in each hand, shaking and shaking, having a great time.

  "Ruan Ruan, look, brother Ye also bought a lotus lantern. It's very beautiful! Does Ruan Ruan like it?" Ye Sheng raised his right hand, and an exquisite lotus lantern was placed in front of Ruan Ruan.

  "Hehehe... Princess... Oh medicine... Hehehe..." She liked the lotus lantern and reached out to take it, but she couldn't take it.
