Chapter 113 Many Years Without Seeing

After eating a meal at their house, Xiang He was almost spotted by them.

As the two walked out of the Tang family gate, Tang Chengqian, the younger uncle, came out with a group of younger relatives. "Are you really not staying? You can have breakfast with your maternal grandfather tomorrow morning. Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"

He Suian shook his head slightly, "No need, it's close by. I haven't been back for a long time, I need to get used to it in a few days."

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say much more. Just come back and visit your grandfather more often."

"May you wake up in peace."

Xiang He nodded to the group and was about to turn and walk towards the carriage when her wrist was grabbed. Without turning around, she knew who it was. They smiled and turned to look at her, "Miss Tang, what's wrong?"

Tang Yixue's delicate face furrowed slightly. "Are you really not going to stay here? My cousin's place is all men, and you're the only woman there... I'm afraid..."

The implication was clear to everyone. Tang Chengqian feigned a stern face and said in a low voice, "Xue'er, come back."

"My cousin's place is indeed full of men!"

She turned her face and said with delight, "Miss Xiang, why don't you stay at our house? We have many rooms, you can choose any one you like!"

Seeing her expression, Xiang He smiled calmly. "No, I'd rather be with Sui An."

After saying that, she withdrew her hand and got into the carriage, too lazy to say anything more.

While everyone was still stunned by her words, Tang Yixue's face darkened, and He Sui'an's eyes flashed, his lips curling into a half-smile.

"Uncle, let's go back first, and we'll come to visit you again tomorrow."

Tang Chengqian snapped out of his daze and nodded slightly. "Go back and get some rest."

"it is good."

The two boarded the carriage, and Xing Ji cracked his whip and slowly drove away.

Tang Chengqian glanced at Tang Yixue's reluctant eyes and said indifferently, "Xue'er, go back."

Without waiting, he turned and walked into the house, leaving Tang Yixue to grit her teeth and stomp her feet in anger. She snorted as she watched the carriage leave and stormed back into the house.

The gates of the Tang family mansion closed, and the carriage gradually drove away. Xiang He patted her stomach; she had been so focused on eating that her stomach was now a little bloated.

Seeing her expression, He Suian lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside. "Once we're out on the main street, let's walk back."

Upon hearing this, Xiang He's eyes lit up. "The capital must be very lively at night, right?"

“Hmm,” He Sui’an handed her the cloak, “It’s cold at night, put it on.”

Xiang He reached out and took it, placing it on his lap as he waited for the carriage to arrive.

The carriage passed through the green meadows and circled around for quite a while. When they reached a densely populated area of ​​houses, Xing Ji stopped the carriage. The two of them got off and Xiang He draped his cloak over their shoulders.

Before even entering the street, one could hear the noise, and just by looking out, one could see the candlelight, the light from lanterns hanging high and illuminating the side.

The two walked through several alleys, where the lively sounds grew louder and louder. Xiang He was also filled with anticipation, eager to see this ancient prosperity.

Knowing that she was anxious, He Suian quickened his pace.

As the light grew stronger, the two stepped out of the alley at the same time. The street was filled with dazzling lights, and many people were coming and going, carrying things in their hands. Children were carrying sugar figurines as they walked through the streets and alleys.

Houses are scattered on both sides, including teahouses, taverns, and inns, as well as countless tall buildings. The lights reflect on the buildings and the smiles on the faces of the people.

At first glance, it looks much better than what's shown in TV dramas; it's very realistic.

Xiang He gazed at the view with joy, while He Sui'an led her along the main street.

"What, are you seeing things?"

Xiang He nodded vigorously, letting the night breeze caress her face without feeling the chill, her eyes filled with surprise, "Everyone knows the capital is prosperous, but I never imagined it was so colorful, it was worth the trip!"

Seeing her so happy, He Suian's face softened even more. "There aren't many people here. If you go further ahead to Yaohu Lake in the city, there are still people releasing lanterns."

"go!"

The two strolled through the streets, passing countless people, occasionally stopping to admire the scenery, occasionally marveling at the prosperity of the capital, and occasionally watching the crowds, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The capital city is like a city that never sleeps; no matter how far or how long you travel, the people never leave.

The lively atmosphere dazzled Xiang He.

I don't know how long I was marveling at it, but then another stunning sight appeared before my eyes.

Ahead lies the vast Yao Lake, where people devoutly pray with lanterns in their hands. After being released, the lanterns drift away with the river, and if they remain lit, their wishes will be fulfilled.

There is also a stone arch bridge on the lake, where groups of people chat about joyful and interesting things.

"It's so lively! The New Year is already over, but it's still so festive!"

She was always amazed by what she saw. He Sui'an's eyes were gentle. "The Flower Festival on the second day of the second lunar month will be even more lively than it is now."

"Isn't that five days from now?"

"Exactly, shall we come back again then?"

"Excellent!"

Xiang He followed He Suian onto the stone arch bridge. As she stepped onto it, her clear eyes flickered, and she suddenly looked down at her right foot.

Seeing her suddenly stop, He Sui'an looked over and asked, "What's wrong? Did you twist your ankle?"

Xiang He didn't say a word, but pulled He Suian to the center of the bridge, feeling the subtle flow under her feet even more.

She squatted down and placed her palms on the bridge surface, saying, "There are blessed talismans under this bridge."

Her voice was very soft, and He Sui'an immediately squatted down, "What do you mean? Is it bad?"

“No,” Xiang He withdrew her hand, rubbing her fingertips together, “It’s a very common blessing, but I didn’t expect to sense that the person who opened the bridge for the blessing was quite skilled.”

As she spoke, her dark eyes brightened as she looked at He Suian, "Where are the people who performed the opening ceremony for this bridge? Are they still alive?"

Her goal was to find a capable person and a way to return home, and now that she had met such a person, she was determined to meet him!

Her joy was fleeting. He Sui'an shook his head calmly, "This bridge is decades old, and that capable person is long gone."

She felt a little disappointed, but she didn't have high expectations. A slight smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "It's alright, I'll find it eventually."

While she felt a slight sense of disappointment, He Sui felt a surge of joy, but he quickly suppressed the thought, reached out to help her up, and the two continued to walk across the bridge.

On the other side of the bridge, there was a large open space, and a little further away there was a small pavilion. The people there were dressed in much more luxurious clothes and were getting up to walk over here, apparently to leave this place.

Not far in front of them, a group of people walked by, chatting.

Three of the women smiled sweetly, covered their mouths with handkerchiefs, pointed in her direction, and then lowered their heads and chuckled coquettishly.

Xiang He tilted her head in confusion, then realized that they were looking at He Sui'an.

As the group drew closer, one of the women, her face flushed, bowed to He Sui'an and asked, "Young master, may I ask which family you belong to?"

The way she struck up a conversation was quite straightforward. Xiang He looked He Sui'an up and down again. His clothes weren't exactly luxurious, but he had a handsome face and an extraordinary air about him. Anyone who saw him would think he was a young master from a prominent family.

While she was still observing, she suddenly noticed a sharp gaze. She immediately turned her head to follow the gaze and immediately saw the man behind the three women.

He also had an air of wealth and nobility, and his sharp gaze remained fixed on He Suian.

"It's been many years, brother."
