Chapter 288 Lantern Festival Chapter
"Okay, big brother will accompany you."
"Thank you, brother."
Su Zhihui was very happy, and even the tiredness on her face was reduced a little. This time going back to Beijing to celebrate the New Year was not fun at all, and she didn't want to go again.
She had no hope that Shen Li would be here, but what if she happened to meet her here?
Unexpectedly, she really got lucky.
As soon as the two of them walked in, a maid came to greet them. Before they could say anything, Su Zhihui asked, "Is your boss here?"
The maid's smile remained unchanged as she asked respectfully, "Sir, are you acquainted with our host?"
Su Zhihui's eyes lit up a little, it really was there!
"I'm her friend, my last name is Su, go talk to her."
"Then you?"
Su Heng pointed to a seat nearby and said, "Let's wait there for a while."
"Then please."
Su Zhihui was happy and ordered a lot of snacks before Shen Li came downstairs.
"Ali!"
Su Zhihui lifted her skirt and ran to Shen Li in small steps, "It's been a long time since we last met. I miss you so much!"
Shen Li smiled and nodded to Su Heng behind her before saying, "Are you missing me, or the snacks in my shop, or the flowers and plants in my room?"
Su Zhihui blushed slightly, and she stretched out her hand to gesture, "All, all, but there are only a few others. I still miss you the most."
As they were talking, Shen Li pulled her upstairs. Su Heng who was behind them was also asked to leave. Su Zhihui had long forgotten about her elder brother.
The two of them walked arm in arm, talking and laughing into the room on the top floor. When this shop was bought, Shen Li had already planned it as an office, and even put a bed in it for rest.
“It’s still comfortable to be back here!”
Shen Li picked up the teacup and poured him a cup of hot tea. Hearing this, she asked, "Don't you like the capital?"
"Not really. Beijing is pretty good. My grandparents and my family treat me very well. But I'm not used to it yet. It's too dry there in winter. Also, I haven't seen my sisters for many years. We are not very familiar with each other and can't talk much."
As he spoke, he patted his chest in fear, "Fortunately, that person blew it himself, otherwise if I really had to marry to the capital, I don't think I would be able to bear it."
The capital city was the center of imperial rule. There were innumerable powerful people there. A coin thrown on the street could hit a high-ranking official.
Of course, the most important thing is that the capital city pays attention to etiquette, and she herself knows that her etiquette is good, but her parents and brothers love her, and she has many flaws in her character, so she is not suitable for living in such a complicated place.
If I really went to the capital, if I accidentally offended someone, I would probably be cheated to the point of being completely destitute.
Shen Li just listened to what she said without expressing any opinion.
However, Ah Hui does have a very clear understanding of herself, which is extremely rare for a pampered lady.
"So you're rushing back today to spend the Lantern Festival with your uncle and aunt?"
"Yes, Ali, why are you here too?"
At this time, a maid came in with a few plates of snacks. After the maid left, Su Zhihui put aside her reserved elegance in front of outsiders and started to eat the snacks.
"I'll bring them here to see the Lantern Festival and then go back in two days."
"Oh, the Lantern Festival in Suzhou is pretty good," Su Zhihui said as she moved closer to Shen Li. "My cousin even said that she wanted me to stay in Beijing and come back after watching the Lantern Festival, but I refused."
Shen Li also pinched a piece of dessert, "The Lantern Festival in the capital should be more lively."
"That's right, but I don't want to stay there. Oh, let's not talk about this. I brought you a gift, but I didn't bring it with me. I'll give it to you when you get back."
"Okay, then I won't be polite!"
Su Zhihui smiled widely, "Don't be polite. You don't know that my grandmother really likes your flower pot. She gave her more New Year's money than others."
Su Zhihui stayed here for half an hour before she and her brother got up and went home.
Shen Li also went back, and on the way she bought a cute tiger lantern for Shen Mochi.
There were many carriages and pedestrians on the street today. As this place was not far from the Shen residence, Shen Li did not take a carriage. Instead, she walked on the street carrying a lantern to experience the bustle of today firsthand.
Just as he was about to enter the alley leading to the Shen residence, he stopped.
This place is two streets away from the provincial residence. This small alley divides this place into two worlds, forming a sharp contrast with the alley and the mansions inside the alley.
One world is bright and beautiful, while the other world is full of darkness.
Shen Li had heard people say that this was the best place to resolve issues in Suzhou City.
The reason is simple: there is a large flow of people in this alley, from all walks of life, and the people are mixed. They seem to be ordinary people with no background, but that is not the case.
Shen Li stood there for two seconds. She just saw Mo Qing go in, followed by a lot of people.
Those people had light steps and steady legs, and it was obvious that they were martial artists.
Mo Qing does have some good kung fu skills, which are more than enough for him to deal with street thugs on a normal day, but it is obviously not enough to deal with these people.
After thinking about it, Shen Li walked in. There was still time now, so it would not hurt to go and take a look. Besides, it would be a good deal to make the miracle doctor owe her a favor, right?
Unlike the clean and bright streets outside, it is dark and damp here, and there are many unidentified objects on the ground.
Mo Qing naturally noticed that someone was following him. He would not dare to attack these people on the street, but this time, it seemed that there were many accomplices who forced him into this alley.
I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle today!
There were many of them, but Mo Qing did not refuse. As a miracle doctor, how could he not have the ability to protect himself?
Even though his martial arts skills are not that good, he is a doctor, and if he knows medicine, he naturally knows poisons.
He hurriedly avoided the passers-by and tried to walk to the crowded area. After a while, he was forced into a narrow corridor by a group of people.
Looking at the people on both sides, he calmly brushed his sleeves and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do by following me?"
"Doctor Mo, you should know this,"
A young man in the lead said that he looked ordinary, but his eyes were fierce and it was obvious that he was not a simple character.
Mo Qing had a distant smile on his face, "I'm sorry, Mo didn't know."
"Doctor Mo, there's no need to play dumb. Hand over the ambergris you got from our hall, otherwise..."
Mo Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of provocation, "What else..."
A grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Otherwise, Dr. Mo might not be able to walk out of this alley safely today."
Mo Qing had a mocking smile on his face, "Why, you don't admit that you made the deal yourself?"
