Chapter 594: God-Welcoming Festival

Lu Fu delivered Shen Ningning's letter to Mo Lingwei.

Mo Lingwei hurriedly opened it and read it.

Shen Ningning's beautiful and neat handwriting immediately caught his eyes——

[Brother, forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye. Things happened a little suddenly, and I can't explain it to you in a few words in the letter. ]

[Anyway, please don't be angry. I'm going to the border to find something very important. If everything goes well, I will be back in three months. If not, I may not be back for a year. ]

[I can't reveal the specific thing in the letter, but please rest assured that I didn't leave because I didn't want to marry you, but I suddenly realized that this thing is particularly important for the family to reunite. ]

[So I set off overnight. When you see this letter, I have already left the capital. Time is tight. I don't have time to leave a letter to my father and others. Please explain on my behalf. When I arrive at the border, I will write to report my safety. Please wait for my good news! ]

Mo Lingwei read Shen Ningning's letter many times.

The emperor stood by anxiously, looking at his son's cold and solemn face, and couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Did Ningning really leave? Did he say why?"

Mo Lingwei pursed his lips, remained silent for a long time, folded the letter and put it in his sleeve.

The emperor was stunned: "Why don't you show it to me?"

"Ningning has some things that are inconvenient to explain in the letter. I think she is probably afraid of accidents. So from now on, no one except me can read this letter. Father, you immediately summon Lord Xie and others to the palace, and I will explain this matter to them clearly."

The emperor hurriedly asked the eunuch to issue an order.

Chen Shaobei walked to Mo Lingwei: "What are your plans?"

Mo Lingwei lowered his voice: "Go and help me pack my bags."

Chen Shaobei was startled: "Why?"

"I'm going after her. I'm worried about her going out alone. It might be better if someone helps. Anyway, don't ask. Go pack immediately. Don't let my father know."

Mo Lingwei finished speaking, patted Chen Shaobei on the shoulder, and went out.

In the capital, Shen Ningning's departure once again set off a storm.

Some people said that Princess Funing regretted and refused to marry the prince.

Others speculated that Princess Funing felt that she liked the second young master Lu, so she left.

But more people believe that Princess Funing, as a blessed woman, must have her own reasons for doing this!

Everyone is waiting for the day when she appears.

No matter what the ups and downs in the capital turned out to be, Shen Ningning could not hear it.

……

For half a month in a row, she encountered good weather on the water, so she had a smooth journey.

Even if she encountered bad weather, she had a way to make the sky clear up immediately.

In this way, after only walking for half a month from the capital, she had already arrived at a town a hundred miles away from the border - Anzhou Pingcheng.

It was late, Shen Ningning could not continue on her way, and she could only choose to stay in Pingcheng.

Originally, she wanted to find an inn to stay in, but she never expected that today would happen to be the local festival - the Welcoming God Festival.

Here, every household cannot live in their own home. It is said that they have to welcome the gods into the house, and if there are people at home, the gods will not enter, let alone bring blessings.

So the people all brought their families and lived in the inns in the city.

Shen Ningning found eight inns in a row, but there were no vacancies.

She even saw many people sleeping on the floor in the lobby of the inn, ready to make do for one night.

This made it difficult for the girl to stay.

】

Fortunately, the shopkeeper of the last inn was a kind-hearted person.

He saw that Shen Ningning was a young girl with a pretty face and an accent that didn't sound like a local.

He said, "Actually, I have another room here. It was originally for my servant to live in, but he had something to do a few days ago and went back to his hometown. Now the room is empty and a little shabby in the backyard. If you don't mind, you can stay for one night. I'll only charge you half the fee."

Shen Ningning was overjoyed when she heard this and immediately paid the bill.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper led her to the backyard. The small house was next to the kitchen. Although it was small, it was clean and tidy.

"There are too many guests tonight. I'm afraid I can't take good care of you. So if you need hot water yourself, the kitchen is next to you."

Shen Ningning said quickly, "Okay, I know, shopkeeper, go and get busy."

After the shopkeeper left, Shen Ningning simply settled down in the room.

She calculated the time. If everything went well tomorrow, she would take the water to the border. It would only take about five or six days to reach the Tianshan Mountains that her mother mentioned.

Shen Ningning took out a topographic map from her sleeve.

She drew the place her mother mentioned in the voice chat with a graphic, so as not to forget it.

Her mother told her that at the top of Tianshan Mountain, there was a golden snow lotus, and under that flower, there was a machine buried.

Shen Ningning needed to start the machine so that Shen Siyi could find the landing place smoothly.

Otherwise, even if she found a way to travel through time and space, she would just run around in the gaps between time and space.

Shen Ningning set off immediately when she heard that her mother could come back.

She had not eaten much for a day, and only felt a little hungry when she stopped.

The little girl went to the kitchen to take a look, and there was nothing to eat. It was probably because there were too many people and there were not many ingredients left in the kitchen.

She didn't want to start cooking, and thought that there were still delicious foods stored in the fairyland, so after returning to the room, she bolted the door tightly and went into the fairyland to have a feast.

After eating and drinking, the girl took a short rest and was about to go out for a walk. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the front hall, she heard a fierce quarrel.

"I think your family did it on purpose. Knowing that tonight is the festival to welcome the gods, you still arranged for the waiter to deliver things to my house. Why did you choose to deliver tonight instead of earlier or later? You have brought popularity to the door. If the gods pass by at night and don't come into my house, can you bear this responsibility?"

Shen Ningning lifted the curtain and looked into the lobby. A man dressed in rich clothes was pointing at the shopkeeper's nose and scolding.

The shopkeeper could only smile and said in a gentle voice: "Master Ma, this is what your son asked us to do. We are going to send five dishes and a soup to your house tonight. Look, it is still on the list."

"Bullshit!" Master Ma waved his hand and said angrily: "My son is young and remembered the time wrong. You are all veterans in business. Don't you know that the festival tonight is very important? Didn't you think of confirming the time with him? In the final analysis, it is still your inn's problem!"

The shopkeeper can only blame himself for his bad luck when he encounters such a domineering person.

He bowed his hands: "How about this, Lord Ma, I won't charge you for the food, please calm down, okay?"

"It's useless! Your servant has already stepped into my house, and the gods must not want to come in. You just lose money, it's a bargain for you!"

"What do you mean?"

"If you ask me, your inn will be closed tonight! I will ruin my luck and make it impossible for you to do business." As soon as Lord Ma finished speaking, many ferocious servants rushed in from the door, and it seemed that they were ready to drive out all the guests who stayed in. (End of this chapter)
