Chapter 196: Lan Zhi Left Alone
Perhaps Gu Fei's prayer moved the heavens, the sound of horse hooves did not stop, but gradually faded away.
Lian'er watched the horses go away, and then called Gu Fei, "Miss, they are gone."
Gu Fei touched her chest, "Fortunately, fortunately, I was scared to death."
After eating the dumplings, Gu Fei and Lian'er just got up, Lian'er pointed across the street and said, "Isn't that Lanzhi?"
Gu Fei looked over and saw Lanzhi standing under the lamp, and a young man stood opposite.
The young man was wearing a jade-colored robe, with a tall figure, a fair complexion, and a handkerchief in his hand.
Lanzhi lowered her head, her face flushed, and was saying something.
Gu Fei hurried over with Lian'er.
Lanzhi was so anxious that she looked up and saw Gu Fei. Her eyes were full of surprise. She pointed at the young man in front of her and stammered, "He, this young man picked up my handkerchief and refused to return it to me."
Gu Fei looked at the handkerchief in the young man's hand. There was a white magnolia embroidered on the pink satin. It was the one that Lanzhi had embroidered two days ago.
The young man looked Gu Fei up and down, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He smiled and bowed to Gu Fei, "Hello, young lady."
Gu Fei smiled faintly, "This handkerchief is indeed my sister's. Can you return it?"
The young man smiled, "I didn't mean to seize this lady's handkerchief. I just saw that the magnolia was embroidered so vividly that I asked a few more questions."
He stretched out his hand and handed the handkerchief to Lanzhi, who quickly took it and tucked it into her waist.
Gu Fei bowed to the man, "Thank you, young master."
Then he took Lanzhi and left.
After walking for a while, Gu Fei looked back and saw that the young man was still standing there, looking at this side from a distance.
Gu Fei asked Lan Zhi, "Why are you alone? Isn't your second brother with you?"
Lan Zhi blushed, "We were together originally. He, he went to the shop to buy something for me, and I waited for him on the street."
"Who would have thought that a team of lion dancers came over, followed by many people, and I was squeezed away. The lion dancers just went over there. I was going to go back to find Erlang, but I found that my handkerchief was missing. I was looking for it everywhere, and I saw that the man took my handkerchief."
Lan Zhi pouted aggrievedly, "I asked him for it, but he refused to give it to me, and asked me all kinds of questions."
Gu Fei twitched her lips, silly girl, he must have taken a fancy to you.
"Then let's go find my second brother."
The three of them walked not far away, and saw Gu Erlang standing on the street, looking around anxiously.
Gu Fei shouted, "Second brother——"
Gu Erlang glanced over here, then ran over and scolded Lanzhi, "Where have you been? Didn't I ask you to wait for me at the door? Do you know how anxious I am when I come out and don't see you?"
Gu Fei rolled her eyes silently. Second brother really values women over sisters.
She was standing here like a big living person, but her second brother seemed to have not seen it.
Well, I'd better not disturb your date. Gu Fei pulled Lian'er and said softly, "Let's go."
The two walked and stopped along the way, watched dragon and lion dances on the street, and watched various acrobatics. Seeing that the moon was almost at its zenith, they went back to the inn.
As soon as they arrived at the inn, they saw Gu Zhang walking back and forth at the gate.
As soon as he saw Gu Fei, Gu Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, "You're back!"
"Girl, why did you come back so late? If you don't come back, I'll look for you all over the street."
Gu Fei stuck out her tongue, "I forgot to pay attention to the time."
Gu Fei hurriedly followed Gu Zhang inside. When they reached the door of a room, they heard Chen's muffled scolding, "You all only care about yourselves. I told you to take care of my sister, and you——"
