Time flies, and more than ten days have passed since Xiao Jinxuan's night visit to Rui Wang's Mansion that day.

After separating from the Gu family brothers and sisters that day, because of Jin Chuan's help, Xiao Jinxuan's failure to return at night was not discovered by others.

And in the past ten days, the back house of the Shuai Mansion has been quiet and peaceful, Xiao Jinyu has not only not made trouble, but even the old lady has not mentioned the matter of marrying.

But the more peaceful she is, the more unsteady Xiao Jinxuan's heart becomes, and she always feels as if something is going to happen behind this tranquility.

Therefore, during this time, except for the daily greetings, Xiao Jinxuan stayed in the forsythia courtyard and did not come out, afraid of getting into trouble.

And she is very calm and relaxed now, anyway, Xiao Jinyu is pregnant, and the other party can't afford to spend time, as long as she survives until this sister and Qian Yunhong get married, then she will become a dowry, and the crisis will be completely resolved.

But in the past, Xiao Jinxuan could stay in the forsythia courtyard and hide quietly, but today it doesn't work.

As for the reason, it is also very simple, because today is the Lantern Festival on August 15, such an important festival day, it is to worship the moon god, eat moon cakes, reunite with the family, and gather for the festival.

Therefore, after Xiao Jinxuan started washing up today, she changed into a Yunyan purple gauze skirt, combed her hair into a moon bun, with three red gold hairpins, an amethyst gourd pendant around her neck, and a snow jade bracelet on her right hand.

This outfit is not only luxurious and decent, but also very elegant and refined, which complements Xiao Jinxuan's cold temperament very well.

After everything was sorted out, Xiao Jinxuan took the bamboo heart Baizhu and rushed to the big garden of the back house.

Because the so-called moon god refers to Chang'e, and women have always liked flowers, so there is an unwritten rule in this worship of the moon god, that is, the more flowers around, the more effective it will be when praying for blessings.

Therefore, the place of worship is usually chosen in a place full of flowers, such as a garden.

When Xiao Jinxuan came to the big garden, she saw that the incense case and fruit had been prepared, and the old lady, as the head of the house, was also the oldest elder, so she was the first to come, and now she was laughing and funny with the younger generations, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Because today is a big festival, many juniors from the Xiao family have also come to the Shuai Mansion to say hello to the old lady.

However, Xiao Jinke, who is the granddaughter, is now standing on the outermost side, not to mention not being able to sit down next to the old lady, and even standing for so long, her grandmother, who loved her in the past, didn't say a word to her.

Xiao Jinke felt aggrieved in her heart, feeling that since the sneaky incident was exposed by Xiao Jinxuan, her days in the Shuai Mansion were not as good as day by day.

Originally, there was a relaxation in the past two months, but after her cousin Qian Yunhong threatened to marry Xiao Jinxuan in public a few days ago, instead of marrying Xiao Jinyu, she obviously felt that the old lady looked at her with a hint of boredom in it.

Thinking indignantly in her heart, Xiao Jinke stood aside boredly, and suddenly she saw Xiao Jinxuan walking in slowly from outside the garden.

With her hands clenched unconsciously, Xiao Jinke felt that she would be so depressed now, and she had lost her grandmother's love, and in the final analysis, it was all the fault of this concubine.

The other party not only went against the Qian family, but also harmed their mother and daughter several times and had no power to fight back, and it was also because of Xiao Jinxuan's existence that her cousin refused to marry Xiao Jinyu, so Xiao Jinke felt that all her misfortunes were due to the other party.

But Xiao Jinke seems to have forgotten that if they hadn't been framed first every time, how could they have been retaliated by Xiao Jinxuan's retaliation.

And fortunately, Xiao Jinxuan coped with it properly, otherwise it is estimated that she would have been persecuted to death more than a dozen times by the Qian family.

But obviously Xiao Jinke doesn't think so, in her opinion, Xiao Jinxuan's status is lowly, even if she is persecuted, it is justified and deserves to die. And if the other party retaliates and retaliates, and dares to destroy the heir, it is a great crime, and it is intolerable.

Therefore, when the enemy met, he was naturally very red-eyed, so Xiao Jinxuan came closer, and just about to bless the old lady to say goodbye, Xiao Jinke grabbed her shoulder first, forcing her to stop.

"Sister Jinxuan came really early, why don't you wait for the sun to set, now that your grandmother has been here for most of the day, you actually asked everyone to wait for you, this is too much."

When Xiao Jinxuan heard this, she glanced at Xiao Jinke, and then said in a cold voice:

"Sister Ke's words are wrong, today's worship of the moon god, the time and place are all passed on in advance, Jinxuan is not late now, is it because my sister likes to arrive early, so I ask others to be the same as you, not to mention that my grandmother is not to blame, but my sister is here to point fingers, this person who is big is probably Sister Ke yourself."

I haven't been stimulated by Xiao Jinxuan's lukewarm way of speaking for a long time, Xiao Jinke really couldn't adapt for a while, and immediately wanted to open her mouth to refute, but was unexpectedly stopped by the old lady.

"Ke'er, you are messing around, as a sister who doesn't understand the humility at all, you don't go to tonight's lantern festival, stay in the house to copy the women's rules, and learn the virtues of this body from the new."

The lantern festival in the mouth of the old lady is the most characteristic activity of the Lantern Festival, after nightfall, the streets and alleys of Jingshi will be hung with lanterns, and then people enjoy the lanterns and guess the riddles, and they can also light candles and put river lanterns next to the moon lake in the city, and make wishes and pray for blessings.

Therefore, the annual lantern festival is very lively, even the princess and prince in the palace are also competing to travel in micro-clothes, and even in the past few years, even Emperor Ming has visited the lantern festival at night and enjoyed with the people.

So when Xiao Jinke heard that she couldn't leave the house tonight, her tears almost didn't fall, but she was glared at by the old lady's majestic eyes, and she immediately didn't dare to speak.

And the old lady didn't even stay, so she left with Xiao Jinke, and now she was looking kind, beckoning Xiao Jinxuan, and hurriedly came to sit beside her.

Anyone who watched this scene could think of how good the relationship between the two ancestors and grandchildren was, but they didn't know that ten days ago, these two were still cold to each other and had a big fuss in Taining Courtyard.

As for the old lady's sudden love, Xiao Jinxuan would not be naïve to think that the other party had discovered her conscience and was ready to treat her well from now on.

After all, that day, she and this grandmother could be regarded as tearing their faces head-on, and the old lady who didn't want to see her in the first place, it is estimated that after this incident, she will only be more disgusted with her, and she should not be as close to her as she is now.

Therefore, Xiao Jinxuan was careful in her heart, afraid that the old lady would suddenly make trouble, but this time it seemed that she was thinking too much, and until the end of worshipping the moon god, it was still calm and nothing happened.

But the more calm it was, the more uneasy Xiao Jinxuan felt in her heart, so as soon as the worship was over, Xiao Jinxuan found an excuse, confessed to the old lady, and went back to Forsythia directly.

The old lady didn't force her to stay, but just smiled and said to Xiao Jinxuan:

"It's good for you girl to go back and make up for sleep, tonight's lantern festival will be lively, and when it comes to night, we will have a family and get together for a reunion dinner, you will go out of the house with Yu'er to play, although this woman can't often show her head, but grandmother is not a pedantic person, this annual festival, or allow you to go out of the house."

When the old lady had said this, she laughed lovingly.

The juniors of the Xiao family who were surrounded by them hurriedly flattered and said that the old lady was kind and compassionate.

And Xiao Jinyu also came to the front at this time, pulled Xiao Jinxuan's hands in public, and said with a drowning face:

"Sister, grandmother is right, you only came to Beijing this year, this lantern festival is lively, and my sister will take you to enjoy it after nightfall."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jinyu looked melancholy for a moment, and then continued a little shyly:

"If my sister has anything to do with her sister before, Jinxuan must forgive me, now my marriage with Huai Anhou has been decided, five days ago he appointed a matchmaker to go to the house, my sister doesn't also know, so this year's lantern festival, I'm afraid it's the last Lantern Festival I can spend in Shuaifu, if there is no company of your own sister, my sister will not have the temperament to go out of the house to enjoy the lanterns."

In front of everyone, Xiao Jinyu, who is the eldest sister, said such a thing, even if Xiao Jinxuan wanted to refuse, it was difficult to shirk.

After all, there are a lot of Xiao family members present now, and she is a small concubine, if she refuses the invitation of her sister, it is estimated that this matter will spread throughout the Xiao family tomorrow, Xiao Jinxuan doesn't want to gain a firm foothold in the Shuai Mansion, and then she will be rejected by the entire Xiao family, so Xiao Jinyu's request, she can only nod and agree.

In the evening, everyone of the Xiao family had dinner in the mansion, and after the guests and hosts had their best, the sky was completely dark, and the full moon, which was brighter than before, gradually hung high, sprinkling a soft glow.

And Xiao Jinyu's sisters, not long after, took Yahuan's mother-in-law out of the house to enjoy the lanterns.

But almost as soon as Xiao Jinxuan left the house, she saw that above the forsythia courtyard where she lived, a black shadow went straight to her boudoir as fast as lightning, and after staying in Xiao Jinxuan's room for a while, the black shadow flashed out of the window again, and disappeared under the moonlight in a few breaths.

As for all this that happened in her yard, Xiao Jinxuan, who is now at the lantern festival, naturally doesn't know anything about it.

This time, she was taking Zhuxin Baizhu, following behind Xiao Jinyu, walking in the crowd, watching juggling and appreciating the lanterns.

And Xiao Jinyu does have the demeanor of the eldest sister today, not only personally bought a red lotus lamp for Xiao Jinxuan, but also ate moon cakes with this sister to guess the lantern riddles, and the relationship between the two has never been as harmonious as today.

After shopping for a while, and most of the entire lantern festival was over, Xiao Jinyu suddenly stopped at this time, and then said with an apologetic smile:

"Sister, let's find a teahouse to rest, there are carriages out of the house on weekdays, and there is a sedan chair no matter how bad it is, now I have walked so many roads, my legs are sore and painful, and my sister really can't bear it without resting."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinyu looked around twice, and then suddenly pointed to the left side and said happily:

"Jinxuan, look, there is a restaurant called Tianhede, since the teahouse has not been found, let's go to the private room and drink a glass of osmanthus wine, which can be regarded as the right situation."

As soon as Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, she didn't give Xiao Jinxuan a chance to speak, and then walked directly to the restaurant.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan could only keep up, and then they were led to the three-story Tianzihao private room.

But almost as soon as they entered, the door of this private room was closed with a "bang" from the outside, Xiao Jinxuan looked back in surprise, only to see that the two aunts who had been following them tonight did not follow in, and this door was obviously closed by them.

Seeing that the situation was not right, before Xiao Jinxuan could react, she suddenly saw a secret door open on the right side of the wall cloth in the private room, and then a man with a folding fan walked out of it with a smile.

And this person is Xiao Jinxuan, Qian Yunhong, who I haven't seen for a long time!
