Chapter five hundred and eighty-eight the deceiving ghost
When Liu Mingzhi and his brother returned to the Liu Mansion Garden again, Qi Yun and her sisters were walking around on the paths of the garden carrying lanterns.
"Husband? Little sister?"
"Husband? Little sister? Where have you two gone?"
"Sister Shan, sister Wei'er, have you seen my husband and the two of you over there?"
"I didn't see him. I went through several paths and I didn't see even half a person."
"Sister Qingshi, sister Lingyi, what about you? Have you seen your husband and the others over there?"
"Sister Yun, we don't have any here either, let alone human figures, we haven't even seen a ghost figure.
It’s really strange, how can two big living people disappear after just a short time? There is only such a big place in the garden, where can they go?”
"Sister Yun, did my husband and my little sister go out to visit the lantern festival outside the city?"
"This... is not impossible. It's true that my husband didn't even know to tell our sisters when he went out."
"Sister, my husband and the two of them didn't drink too much, so nothing should happen to them."
Liu Mingzhi and Liu Xuan, brothers and sisters, listened to the conversation of the beauties in the garden below in mid-air. They looked at each other and then fell down lightly.
"Yun'er, you don't have to look for it, my husband and Xuan'er are above your heads!"
Hearing Young Master Liu's voice above their heads, Qi Yun and the other sisters subconsciously raised their heads and looked towards the night sky, and happened to see the two brothers and sisters' graceful and elegant figures in the night sky.
"Husband, little sister."
"Husband, little sister, what did you two brothers and sisters do when you ran up to the sky without any problems?"
"Yes, yes, no wonder my sisters have looked for you in the garden several times but still haven't found anyone. It turns out that you two have gone to heaven."
"Smelly husband, since you were in the sky just now and saw my sisters carrying lanterns walking down there over and over again, didn't you know to say hello to us? You made me go through so many unjust journeys in vain."
"That's right, that's right, I thought you drank too much and fell into some mouse hole!"
Before the brother and sister Liu Mingzhi landed, all the beauties began to condemn each other, as if the brother and sister had committed some heinous crime.
After getting his feet on the ground, Liu Mingzhi put his hands down and exhaled, and happily glanced around at the women who were crowding in from all directions.
"Okay, okay, my husband was wrong.
Just now, Xuan'er said that she wanted to take a look at the lights of thousands of houses in the capital, so the two of us used Qing Gong and wandered around the city for a while."
"Then you should also talk to Sister Concubine. You two haven't been back for so long. Do you know how anxious Sister Concubine is?"
"That's right, my sisters have been looking in the garden for so long and haven't seen you two. I thought something happened to you!"
"Hey, my husband and Xuan'er didn't expect that you would come out to find us just a short while ago.
But you sisters are right, it is indeed my husband's fault, and I should have informed you in advance when I went out with Xuan'er.
Why are you sisters all out? What's going on? Is this the end of the show?"
"Yes, we just finished a cup of tea.
My sisters and the children have all eaten and drank enough, so there is no point in staying here any longer. After the show is over, they will come out together to find you two."
"What about the children?"
"Yunxin, Lianniang, Keke, Zhengwen, Shuang'er...these little ones insisted on making a fuss to watch the lanterns, so I asked Yiyi, Chengfeng, Chengzhi...to take them out of the city.
Let’s look at the lanterns, we’ve reached the main street now.”
"Husband, little sister, since you two have been wandering around the city just now, have you seen any place with more beautiful lanterns? How about we go to enjoy the lanterns together?"
"Yeah, yeah, I second my suggestion. It's still early and I can't sleep even when I go back to the room. Why don't we go to watch the lanterns together?"
"Good suggestion. I ate so much just now that my sisters' stomachs are full. Let's go out together to enjoy the lanterns. It will be just the right time to relieve our appetite."
"Husband, what do you think?"
"Oh, sister Lian'er, it's useless for you to ask our husbands. You should ask my little sister. If my little sister goes, can my husband not go with us?"
"Yes, yes, sister Xiaoxi, you are right. Xuan'er, sister-in-law, we want to go for a walk on the street. Do you want to come with us?"
Liu Xuan listened to the words of the sisters-in-law and nodded with a smile.
"Sisters-in-law, you have already said so, how dare Xuan'er refuse your invitation?
Aren't we just going to enjoy the lanterns? Xuan'er will go with you, and we will go wherever you say, and Xuan'er will listen to you."
"Good Xuan'er, my sister-in-law really didn't love you in vain."
"Xuan'er, did you and your elder brother just see a place in the city with particularly beautiful lanterns? If so, let's go to that place to enjoy the lanterns."
When Liu Xuan heard Huang Lingyi's inquiry, a look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
I didn't just go to the city to have fun with my eldest brother, so how could I pay attention to where the lanterns were more beautiful?
Seeing the curious glances of all the sisters-in-law, Liu Xuan smiled and licked her delicate eyebrows, then turned to look at the eldest brother next to her, with a look for help in her eyes.
If my eldest brother hadn't made such nonsense just now, how could I have been in such a difficult situation?
Liu Mingzhi felt his little sister's gaze and stretched with a smile.
"Ladies, after all, you are also the queens and concubines of the dynasty. The rules of the court are not understood by ordinary people. Don't you sisters also understand them?
The lantern festivals organized by the imperial court were only held outside the four city gates of the east, west, south and north. As for the lantern festivals in the inner and outer cities, they were all private lantern festivals.
No matter how beautiful the lantern festival they hold is, can it be more beautiful than the lantern festival held by the imperial court?
If you want to go see the lanterns, you must go outside the city.
As for which city gate you want to go to to view the lanterns, it's up to you to decide, and my husband will completely listen to your opinions.
Whatever you say is what you say, who asked your husband to pamper you!
Whatever you sisters say, you must obey your husband."
After hearing Mr. Liu's words of affection, all the beauties rolled their eyes angrily.
They finally noticed that their husband was always using sweet words to make people happy.
The girls, who looked angry on the surface but happy in their hearts, focused their attention on Qi Yun.
Qi Ya pointed at her cherry lips and thought for a moment, then walked to Qi Yun's side with light steps.
"Sister, last year we went to the south of the city, let's go to the north of the city this year, right?"
"Sister Ya, what she said is right. North and south are opposite each other. How about we go to the north of the city this year?"
"Wait, wait, sisters, when my younger sister and Sister Bizhu came home from the restaurant, they heard from the guests that the lantern festival in the east of the city was the grandest this year. How about we go to the east of the city?"
"That's okay. If the lantern festival in the east of the city is the grandest, it is indeed most appropriate to go to the east of the city."
"Husband, it's up to you to decide. Wherever you say we will go, we will go."
Liu Mingzhi felt Huang Lingyi's expectant gaze and pouted happily towards the east of the city.
"Okay, then just listen to Lingyi and go to the east of the city."
"Excellent, long live my husband, long live you."
"You don't have anything to prepare, right?"
The girls looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.
"Husband, I, my sisters, have nothing to prepare."
"Okay, let's go."
"Husband, please come first."
"Let's go together, let's go together."
Liu Xuan looked at the sisters-in-law chatting and laughing together in front of them, then she walked next to Young Master Liu and gave a thumbs up.
"Brother."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"My little sister finally understands something."
"Tell me."
"My little sister finally understands what a man's mouth is, a liar, you really don't even blink when you tell lies!
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s all nonsense.”
"Smelly girl, do you really think your sister-in-law and the others are fools?
They are willing to be deceived by their elder brother's words. This is called one who is willing to fight and the other who is willing to suffer.
When you get married in the future, you will naturally understand."
