Chapter 189 Someone fell into the water!
Jiang Yuwei turned around and saw Jiang Yaoyao holding the zither and glaring at her fiercely. This time she did not ride in a sedan chair, and there were no maids or servants around her.
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"What? You're not the top girl in Yihong Courtyard anymore? You don't even have anyone to serve you when you go out? That's right, someone like you who was born with a lowly fate will never enjoy happiness!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yaoyao couldn't help but tighten her hands around Qin:
"It's all your fault. Last time I went to the Sun Mansion, you made me look bad in public. When Mother Sun found out about it, she gave me a good scolding! It's all because of you that I lost my title as the most beautiful courtesan. Now Mother Sun is already supporting a newcomer!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei said disdainfully:
"In the final analysis, it's because you don't have the ability to win over men, so naturally you can't control your so-called Grandma Sun. Besides, if you want to find a backer, you should find a younger one. You can't find that old man named Ge. He might die at any time, and you will end up with nothing!"
It would have been fine if Jiang Yuwei didn't mention Master Ge, but once she did, Jiang Yaoyao hated her even more. If she hadn't instigated old man Jiang to cause trouble at the Ge family that day, she wouldn't have lost Master Ge's favor and ended up like this. Now, looking at Jiang Yuwei's face, Jiang Yaoyao wanted to rush up and scratch her hard.
Jiang Yuwei had no idea what Jiang Yaoyao was thinking. She only saw her face turning pale and blue, and she was staring at her, as if she was going to pounce on her and eat her alive in the next second. Jiang Yuwei didn't want to waste time on her as she had to get back to the shop quickly to take Ning Zhao and the others to watch the dragon boat race.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yuwei no longer paid attention to Jiang Yaoyao, who was still standing there with red eyes due to anger, and turned around and walked towards her own shop.
Jiang Yaoyao looked at Jiang Yuwei's back and murmured:
"Jiang Yuwei, just wait for me. One day, I will make you kneel before me and beg for mercy!"
When Jiang Yuwei arrived at the shop, she gave instructions to Ning Qiu and the others, then took Ning Huaizhi, Ning Zhao and Ning Wan out to Ping'an River. The fool originally wanted to go with them to play, but was stopped by Ning Huaizhi's eyes. Jiang Yuwei also promised to bring back some candied haws for the fool, and only then did the fool agree to stay in the shop.
As soon as Jiang Yuwei and her family came out of the shop, they saw many people excitedly rushing towards the Ping'an River. This river runs through the north and south streets. Jiang Yuwei thought that there must be a lot of people on the road today because of the festival. It would not be fun if they drove a ox cart to go there, so she just walked with her family.
There were many vendors selling small items along the way. Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei regretted:
"If we had known there were so many people here and so many vendors, we should have prepared something to sell."
Ning Huaizhi turned around and smiled:
"We've been busy in the shop all morning, so don't think about making money all the time. We're here to go shopping today. If you bring things to set up a stall, how can we watch the dragon boat race?"
Jiang Yuwei nodded and smiled after hearing this:
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go shopping and spend money today. Children, tell me what you want to buy and I'll buy it for you!"
Ning Wan and Ning Zhao shouted happily after hearing this:
"Mom, mom, I want a candy man!"
"Mom, I want a fan!"
"Mom, do you think this hairpin is pretty? Buy it for me!"
Jiang Yuwei was dragged to the sugar figurine stall by Ning Wan, and then to the calligraphy and painting stall by Ning Zhao. Jiang Yuwei was annoyed by their quarrels and took out two pieces of silver from her purse and stuffed them into the hands of the two men.
"Here, one silver coin per person, go buy whatever you like, it's gone once you spend it, Wan'er, hold on to your brother's hand, there are so many people here, don't get separated, mother will take father to Ping'an Bridge to wait for you, come quickly, got it?"
The two children took the silver and said happily:
"Okay, mother, don't worry, we will be there in a moment!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yuwei smiled helplessly and pushed Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair towards Ping'an Bridge.
"Wife, are you really confident that these two children can go shopping by themselves?"
Jiang Yuwei smiled and said:
"Our Zhao'er and Wan'er have grown up and are very smart. Besides, Zhao'er knows martial arts, so ordinary people can't bully him."
Ning Huaizhi shook his head helplessly and smiled:
"You've spoiled the two kids too much. You've given them so much money, but they don't know how to spend it."
Jiang Yuwei heard this and said unhappily:
"Who wouldn't spend money if they have it? Besides, this is their wages. These two kids have worked hard for the Moxiangzhai during the opening days. They deserve this money."
Ning Huaizhi laughed after hearing this:
"Haha, fine, fine, I can't argue with you, I'll listen to you."
The two of them walked to Ping'an Bridge, chatting and laughing. The dragon boat race had already begun. Jiang Yuwei pushed Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair to the front of the crowd and saw two long wooden boats on the river.
The men on the boat were all shirtless and shouting powerful slogans, their dark skin glistening with sweat under the sunlight. Jiang Yuwei was watching the competition intently when suddenly a big hand blocked her eyes.
Jiang Yuwei was a little angry and reached out to pull the hand away:
"Who is this? So annoying! You're interrupting my watching the game!"
Ning Huaizhi said in a deep voice beside her:
"Don't look at what is indecent, you can't look at it!"
Jiang Yuwei wordlessly slapped Ning Huaizhi's hand away, looked at him and frowned:
"Everyone else can see it, why can't I?"
Ning Huaizhi blushed and said:
"If you want to see it, I'll show it to you when we get home. Well, let's go. I don't think this dragon boat race is that interesting. Oh, why haven't Zhao'er and Wan'er come yet? Let's go look for them."
After hearing this, Jiang Yuwei looked at the river again with an unsatisfied look, and then reluctantly pushed Ning Huaizhi's wheelchair out of the crowd.
After Ning Huaizhi said this, Jiang Yuwei also felt a little strange. Logically, Ning Zhao and Ning Wan should have come over long ago. Why were they still nowhere to be seen at this time? At this moment, the more Jiang Yuwei thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. So she pushed the wheelchair while shouting:
"Ning Zhao, Ning Wan, where are you? We need to go home!"
As she was shouting, Jiang Yuwei heard several people hurriedly running down the bridge, muttering:
"Hurry and check downstream! There's a child in the water!"
When Jiang Yuwei heard this, she was shocked and hurriedly pushed the wheelchair in the direction the man was running.
