"Xiao Qiao, are you ready? Let's go."
Shen Qiao Ran strode over, and the sky was getting dark. It wasn't until he walked into the room that everyone saw his clothes clearly, but at first glance, Shen Qiao Chen and others were stunned.
I saw that Shen Qiaoran was also wearing a moon-white brocade robe. The material and workmanship were the same as those on Shen Qiaochen. It was obviously made of the same material.
It's just that for the same lotus pattern, Shen Qiaochen used silver-white threads, while Shen Qiaoran used silver-grey threads.
It was nightfall outside at this time, and if you didn't get closer, you wouldn't be able to see this subtle difference.
Several maids looked at the brother and sister who were looking at each other, and they all laughed.
It turns out that not only are the clothes similar, but even the details of the accessories are very similar. Obviously, this was specially prepared by Shen Qiaoran.
"Now that's good, if we look far away, I'm afraid we won't be able to tell the difference between the girl and the third young master." Zifu covered her mouth and joked.
"Of course, Xiao Qiao and I are twins. Neither the eldest brother nor the second brother is as similar as us." Shen Qiao Ran said with a proud face, obviously very satisfied with Shen Qiao Chen's appearance in men's clothing.
Looking helplessly at his proud brother across from him, Shen Qiaochen smiled and shook his head.
"Okay Third Brother, we can go. If we stay a little longer, the lantern festival will be over."
"Don't worry, Xiao Qiao, I have already made arrangements."
Shen Qiaoran knocked on her sister's forehead, turned around and walked out. Before leaving, she did not forget to tell Zifu that it was cold at night, so remember to bring more clothes for the fourth girl.
Zifu responded with a smile and trotted into the inner room. When she came out, she was holding a silver silk brocade cloak in her hands. When Shen Qiaochen and the others walked to the second door, they caught up with everyone and went out together.
After leaving Shen's mansion and seeing Zian waiting by the carriage, Shen Qiaochen felt quite used to his surprised look.
After all, on the way from Yilan Courtyard to the entrance of the mansion, I have seen this expression too many times, so there is nothing to make a fuss about.
There were many people on the streets of Lantern Festival today, so Shen Qiaoran did not ride a horse. In addition, Shen Qiaochen dressed up as a man again, so the brother and sister got into the same carriage.
The carriage prepared by Shen Qiaoran was very spacious, and Qingdai and Zifu didn't feel crowded at all. After everyone got into the carriage, Zian sat next to the coachman and said it was time to set off.
The coachman of the Shen Mansion drove very smoothly, but more and more people were watching the lights outside, and the carriage gradually slowed down.
Shen Qiaochen gently lifted the corner of the car curtain, only to see a bustle of people outside. Looking further forward, the crowd was even more dense, and it seemed that the carriage could no longer move.
I have never had the opportunity to come out and look at the lights like today. Infected by such a happy atmosphere, Shen Qiaochen also rarely lost her temper. She frowned slightly and complained: "Third brother, it's all your fault. We came so late. What should we do now?"
Shen Qiao Ran had always been somewhat arrogant in the Shen family when she was a child, so Shen Qiao Ran was not angry when faced with her "accusation".
He stood up and opened the car curtain and gave some instructions to Zian, then sat back in the car and said to Shen Qiao: "Don't worry, Xiao Qiao, I have already reserved a seat in Zui Jiangyue. Let's rush over now. The time is just right. A light truck that will let you see for a while.”
Every year on March 15th, there will be a lantern festival in Beijing. This year it coincides with the Shangsi Festival yesterday, so in addition to the float parades in previous years, there will also be activities such as releasing river lanterns and taking spring baths.
In various restaurants in Beijing, fine scented tea and various flower decoctions were prepared early in the morning for the distinguished guests to enjoy.
Zui Jiangyue... After hearing Shen Qiaoran mention it, Shen Qiaochen suddenly remembered that Zuijiang Yue was now his property.
Recently, I have been busy with the Shen family's affairs, and I almost forgot about my agreement with Mr. Ji. I don't know what the situation has been like with Mr. Ji in the past few days.
Shen Qiaochen frowned in annoyance, thinking that after arriving at the place, he must find a way to get rid of Shen Qiaoran and meet Mr. Ji.
…
There were more and more people on the street, and the speed of the carriage became slower and slower. Eventually, it almost reached the point where it stopped taking three steps at a time.
Shen Qiaochen had something on her mind, so she became a little anxious. With his bare hands, he lifted the car curtain and took a look. All he could see was the dark crowd. Looking up, he saw that their current location was less than 200 meters away from Zui Jiangyue.
So she thought about it and decided to abandon the carriage and go on foot.
After listening to Shen Qiaochen's suggestion, Shen Qiaoran looked outside the car, thought about it for a moment, and finally walked out first at Shen Qiaochen's insistence.
Before getting off the bus, he still gave many instructions to Shen Qiaochen to follow him to avoid being squeezed away by the crowd. Seeing Shen Qiaochen nodding in agreement, he turned around and jumped out of the carriage, then waited beside the carriage.
Qingdai and Zifu followed closely and jumped out of the carriage. When they saw the sea of people outside, they were startled and waited nervously for their girl to get off the carriage.
It’s been a while since I burned the incense,
When she put down the tools in her hands and turned around again, everyone discovered that under her makeup, her originally curved thin eyebrows had turned into thicker straight eyebrows, and her porcelain-white skin tone had now become a little darker. …
In short, I can't say what has changed, but in the end it looks and feels different.
"You're still a girl with good hands." Qingdai looked at Shen Qiaochen with gleaming eyes.
"Well...but girl, she looks more like the third young master..." Zifu said in surprise.
Ju Bai also nodded, secretly amazed. Before, they were only similar in dress, but now through Shen Qiaochen's skillful hands, even their looks and demeanor were very similar.
"If you go out with the third young master like this, everyone will think you are twins." Ju Bai said hesitantly.
"That's what we are." Shen Qiaochen said casually, feeling very satisfied.
Looking back, she saw Ju Bai's troubled face. Shen Qiaochen knew what she meant, so she smiled knowingly and said nothing more.
After calculating the time, Shen Qiaoran hadn't arrived yet. Shen Qiaochen walked to the table and sat down. Zifu who was beside her followed her, poured a cup of hot tea with her hands and feet, carefully tested the temperature, and then handed it to Shen Qiaochen's hand.
Seeing the little girl in front of her smiling attentively, Shen Qiao shook her head helplessly and said, "I know, I'll take you there."
Then he no longer looked at Zi Fu who was jumping and cheering, and turned around and said: "And Qing Dai, let's go too. Ju Bai and Yun Ling stay in the house."
After speaking, he looked at Jubai and said, "I have made an agreement with Aunt Su before that she should come after grandma goes to bed tonight. If I haven't come back by then, please ask her to wait and I will arrive as soon as possible. return."
Seeing Ju Bai nodding, Shen Qiao turned around and continued drinking tea.
After a while, I heard the voice of the little maid outside saying hello, and soon a familiar figure appeared outside the door, followed by his smiling voice,
"Xiao Qiao, are you ready? Let's go."
