Pearl nodded after thinking about it.

"Okay, I'm willing to go."

Vaguely, she seemed to understand that Miss's future would not be limited to this mansion, Miss would grow, and she would have to grow up.

After the two discussed, Pearl returned to the courtyard and went to the woman to ask for leave, she was not a person who was good at lying, but the third aunt asked not to let the young lady know, she could only bite the bullet.

"You're going back to visit your family?" The woman looked at the person in front of her who suddenly asked for leave, and was a little puzzled.

"Yes, I have a distant relative who has recently been seriously ill, and I am afraid that time is running out, and I hope that Miss will allow me to wait for Miss when I come back after visiting my relatives."

Pearl didn't know what a woman was thinking, and just wanted to find an excuse to leave and go to training.

"Well, then you can go."

The woman waved her hand casually, Pearl's request was not excessive, she had no reason to stop it.

A few days after Pearl left, the woman learned from her subordinates that Pearl was an orphan, and in order to survive, she found a human tooth by herself, and then sold it into the Xia Mansion, and there was no so-called relatives at all.

So what kind of relatives is she visiting?

And why lie to yourself?

The woman couldn't figure it out, now that Pearl didn't know where she had gone, she couldn't ask an answer, so she could only put this matter down first, and wait for Pearl to come back and ask clearly.

Spring is blooming, day by day is getting more and more prosperous, and everything is recovering, which is the breath of a hundred flowers.

On this day, the woman and Wei Qian were chatting in the house, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter like silver bells outside the house, and then the fourth sister in a blue brocade skirt ran over leisurely.

The fourth sister flashed her big eyes, looked at the woman and then at Wei Qian, and then smiled and squinted.

"The third sister and the third brother-in-law have a really good relationship."

The woman glanced at Wei Qian inexplicably, the two of them didn't do anything, even if the well water didn't interfere with the river water, where did they see the feelings.

"Why is the fourth sister here?" The woman changed the topic, this fourth sister looked harmless to humans and animals on the surface, but that time it was not that she went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

The fourth sister's eyes rolled twice, and she propped up her chin and pretended to sigh: "The third brother-in-law is so good-looking, if he gives birth to a child, he will definitely be extremely beautiful." ”

"Third sister, you can't waste it!"

What is she wasting? Genes?

Does this fourth sister know too much?

"Poof!"

Wei Qian couldn't help laughing, and ushered in a threatening look from the woman.

"Fourth sister, have you done your homework well lately?"

The woman lowered her voice, bear child, she still didn't believe that she couldn't cure her.

The fourth sister's face changed, and she didn't dare to tease the two anymore, but her smart eyes revealed the cunning in her heart.

"Third sister, the Shangyuan Festival is almost here."

The fourth sister reminded, and winked meaningfully at Wei Qian after speaking, letting him seize the opportunity.

Shangyuan Festival.

The woman searched in her mind.

This can be regarded as a major festival in Xiafu, every year on the Shangyuan Festival, Xiafu will hold a Lantern Festival banquet and invite people from all walks of life to participate, including many upper-class people, this is not only a simple festival, but also a banquet for Xiafu to establish contacts and expand business, so middle-aged men attach great importance to it every year.

In previous years, she was stupid and acted as a little transparent at the banquet, but the eldest sister and the second sister got to know many young ladies from the family in Beijing through this Lantern Festival banquet.

This is equivalent to a cocktail party in the modern business world, where there are many nobles and opportunities, and in the eyes of women, it is all white silver.

The Shangyuan Festival is coming soon, and the Xia Mansion will begin to put up lanterns a few days earlier, and the Lantern Festival banquet, as the name suggests, is an elegant style, and guessing the lantern riddles is free in it, which can be regarded as an opportunity for the younger generation to show their talents.

Early in the morning, the woman and Wei Qian were called to the lobby by a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man smiled as soon as he saw the two.

"Third child, my father has called you here today because I have a big matter to hand over to you."

The woman and Wei Qian glanced at each other and arched their hands, "Daddy just orders." ”

The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said slowly, "In a few days, it will be the Shangyuan Festival, and your eldest sister and second sister were responsible for this in previous years, but now your second sister is not suitable for hard work, and your eldest sister is not very convenient, so this year it will be handled by your husband and wife and accompanied to attend." ”

The woman's eyes lit up, and she was worried that she didn't know how to interfere in the Lantern Festival banquet, and the middle-aged man sent the opportunity up.

"Dad, don't worry, my daughter will handle it well and never let you down." The woman patted her chest and promised.

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the Xia Mansion was full of lanterns, the colorful light illuminated the night as if it were day, the gate of the Xia Mansion was open, and there were guests driving one after another before the sky was dark.

There are richly dressed businessmen, elegant ladies and ladies of the family, and more powerful dignitaries and dignitaries.

Although the status of a merchant is the lowest, no one will get along with money, even if you have authority, you will want to make friends with rich merchants, you can do it for me, I will give you money, everyone takes what they need.

The banquet was full, and the middle-aged man sat on the main seat and exchanged pleasantries with a group of courtiers.

Young talents look at the anagrams on the lanterns.

"Master, whose crossword are these?" A woman in a goose-yellow coat picked up a lantern and asked.

The middle-aged man looked for prestige and said with a smile, "These anagrams are all made by the third child's husband Wei Qian, and Miss Huang can see it." ”

This person is the daughter of the staff on the spot, Huang Zhiwen, who is also a close friend of the second sister, and used to come to the house to have fun.

"Not only can I see it, these anagrams are extremely literary at a glance, although I have been reading books for a few years, I have no thoughts at all." Huang Zhiwen's words attracted the attention of those present.

Everyone picked up the anagram next to them, and what they thought was a simple word game made everyone present frown.

Anagrams come in the form of short sentences and long poems, and you can see the level of talent of the questioner between the lines.

The family of merchants also produced literati?

"The old man is so blessed, even the old man can't guess this anagram, and the son-in-law's literary skills are quite accomplished." Some of the courtiers praised Wei Qian with a smile.

His family was in the limelight, and the middle-aged man was happy, and he hurriedly waved his hand to Wei Qian and beckoned people over.

"Earlier, come and see Lin Shilang and Huang Yuanwai."

Wei Qian immediately got up and stepped forward, and his long figure walked around like a gorgeous scenery in the banquet.

"I've seen Lin Shilang, Huang Yuanwai."

Wei Qian was humble and polite, respectful and orderly, and instantly won the favor of the two dignitaries.

"You came just in time, the old man really can't solve your tricky problem." As he spoke, Lin Shilang handed the anagram in his hand to Wei Qian.

Wei Qian took the anagram and asked the question: If there is water in the south, it is clear, and if there is water in the west, the boat stops.

"This is interpreted as the word 'white', and if the south side of the word 'white' is a water, it is a spring that forms a spring, and if there is water on the west side, it is a boat mooring." Under Wei's previous explanation, everyone suddenly realized.
