The next day was the Lantern Festival, and the small courtyard of the Lianjia family, which had been quiet for a long time due to Wanniang's accident, became lively again. Bai Lan boiled two kinds of balls, bean paste and vegetable meat, and served them to the table. The bean paste filling is round, and the vegetable and meat filling is white and fat with a sharp tip to distinguish it.

Bai Lan sprinkled osmanthus stuff in her brother's bowl and said with a smile: "This is the first time I have brewed osmanthus flowers, can my brother taste it?" ”

Bai Tang smiled and said, "Let Wanniang taste it too." ”

Wan Niang looked slightly startled, immediately lowered her head, and smiled silently: Bai Tang still guessed his origin!

Gently scooped a spoonful of osmanthus stuffed and mixed it into the clear water soup base, sweet and fragrant, refreshing. Wan Niang nodded, smiled at Bai Lan and made a good lip shape.

Bai Lan pursed her lips and chuckled: "Brother, tonight's Lantern Festival, are we going to have a good time?" ”

"Minato!"

"It's a pity that our family didn't prepare lanterns this year." Bai Lan said regretfully, "The people from Fu Yin specially came to ask my mother if I want to put lanterns in my house this year!" ”

Bai Tang was stunned, and his mind was searched, and then he remembered that every year in the Lantern Festival in Nanjing City, there is a competition to promote the king of lights. He didn't pay attention to it, and second, he was worried about Wanniang's affairs, so he didn't prepare at all.

"Next year." Bai Tang's heart moved slightly. Next year, draw a few lamp patterns in advance, make a few sets of finished products, and then make a few sets of easy-to-use semi-finished products, which are specially designed for customers to assemble by themselves! The more you think about it, the more fun you become, and do it! This business is definitely done!

Su Shi Zhengse said: "The lantern will be good-looking, and there are many lost children and young ladies who have accidents every year." Be careful. By the way," she looked at Bai Tang, "Xu San can also look at the lights, right?" Follow him, you'll be fine! ”

Who would dare to beat Xu San's idea, right?

Bai Tang repeatedly said that his mother was thoughtful. looked at Wan Niang and smiled: "Wan Niang also look at the lights together!" ”

Wan Niang's face was pale, and a cold and painful cold wave quickly appeared under her eyes, she squeezed the spoon tightly and shook her head vigorously: No, no need.

Bai Tang sighed lightly: Three years ago, the fire of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau was ignited on the night of the Lantern Festival!

But Qiu An repeatedly confirmed that there was no accident with Zhiniang on the day of the fire. So Wan Niang is not a person from the Suzhou Weaving Bureau. But where did the wound on her face and her ability to weave cloth come from?

The first thing he suspected was Shen Weiqing, a Suzhou weaver who was dismissed. The fire caused him to lose his official position because it burned down the imperial artifacts, but fortunately, His Majesty remembered his past merits and talents, and only degraded his family and exiled him to Qiongzhou. However, Shen Weiqing only has two sons and no daughters.

Bai Tang guessed that Wan Niang might be the daughter of a branch of the Shen family, and the building collapsed, of course, it was not only Shen Weiqing's family who were unlucky!

In the evening, Bai Tang went out with the well-dressed Bailan, and the street was already full of traffic and lights.

All the food stalls and craftsmen in the city are gathered on the Qinhuai River, which is originally lively and prosperous, and tonight it is the BMW carved car full of incense, and the spring smoke of the lamp market on the bank.

Bai Tang led Bai Lan to avoid the crowd and found a three-story building, and the guard at the door saw him, bowed down and smiled: "Lian Gongzi, you are here!" The third master is already waiting for you upstairs! ”

This small building is exactly what Qin Wu bought to open a teahouse! Before it opened, he was borrowed by Xu San to invite a friend to watch the lanterns!

It's not for nothing, it's for money!

As for who came up with this idea-Bai Tang had to be scolded back by Xu San again!

What a traitor! Bai Tang smiled, when Qin Jian's sister and brother come back, they can still get a windfall, isn't it a good thing?

He divided the location of the two-story building into good and bad locations, and naturally the river view position was the most expensive. Within two days of Xu San's news being released, the location was decided! was so shocked that he also showed the quality of a profiteer: he called Bai Tang's price too low!

At this time, the underwear in the building is fragrant and the sideburns are shadows, and most of the children of the official eunuchs in the city are watching the lanterns together. The first floor is dominated by male guests, and the second floor is dominated by female dependents. If you want a blind date for men and women, there is a private room on the third floor. As for the best location on the third floor, it is natural to keep it for your own people.

Bai Lan followed her brother's side, feeling uneasy. When I got to the second floor, I heard the noise from upstairs: "Qiu An is very capable!" The lights of this place are amazing! ”

"The Qinhuai River is in full view. Later, you will be able to see the lights of each house clearly! ”

Xu San enjoyed the praise of his friends, and was about to put gold on his face again, but saw Bai Tang stepping upstairs, he was wearing a dark purple felt, his temperament was cold and dusty, and a pair of oblique phoenix eyes were more radiant and moving than the bright and dazzling lights on the riverside! Qiu An only saw a palpitation in his heart, and he couldn't hear the noise around him.

The friends around them exchanged glances with each other: That's Lian Baitang?!

The boy who turned over with salted fish was valued by His Majesty. I didn't expect it to look so good!

Seeing the pure and beautiful Bailan behind him like a hibiscus out of the water, everyone couldn't help but speculate: Could it be that Qiu An has taken a fancy to someone else's sister?

"Xu San." Bai Tang smiled, "I'm not late, am I?" ”

Qiu An came back to his senses, couldn't help but step forward to take the lantern he was carrying, touched his cold fingertips, frowned, pulled him to the charcoal stove and said, "It's not too late." Just right. ”

He bluffed at everyone and said: "Bai Tang's sister is young and thin-skinned, you must not scare others!" ”

A young man in brocade clothes, who was no more than two years older than Qiu An, turned his eyes around twice between the Baitang brothers and sisters, didn't touch the end, and said with a smile: "Songzhu Zhai is famous, and I have to see Lian Gongzi today, so I know that Qiu Ancheng will not deceive me!" ”

"When have I ever coaxed you!" Qiu An was proud and said to Bai Tang, "He is Xu Huizu." ”

Xu Huizu? Bai Tang was shocked: "Dingguo Gong? ”

Xu Huizu waved his hand and said, "What is the prince of the country and not the prince of the country." My grandfather, my country, was bought by my Lao Tzu with his life! You are Joan's brother, and you will be my good brother from now on! ”

Qiu An snorted coldly: "Take advantage of Baitang less!" ”

Brandy sneered! This Dingguo Gong is really interesting!

Xu Huizu looked at Bai Lan and smiled like a cloud, and his heart itched: Such a little beauty, I don't know whose kid will be cheaper in the future!

"Thank you Lian Gongzi for teaching the little brother!" A burly and heroic man hugged Bai Tang and said, "Brother said, since Qiu An met you, he is sensible and knows how to advance and retreat, and my mother is also pleased!" ”

Bai Tang unexpectedly looked at the man who was not handsome, but full of manliness, and asked in surprise: "General Xu Rongxu?" ”

"Hmm. My second brother! Joan's tone was full of pride.

"Long admiration for General Xu's name!" Bai Tang said gratefully, "Ah Jian was able to arrive in Suzhou safely this time, all thanks to the general's help!" ”

Xu Rong smiled happily: "The future sister-in-law's affairs are unshirkable!" ”

"The one with the eyes on the eyebrows is Zhang Bozhong, the prince of England!" Qiu An called unhappily, "Okay, don't pretend, today is to introduce you to each other!" If you look down on your friends, don't come to your lord's river-view room! ”

Bai Tang's eyes were slightly instantaneous: Zhang Bozhong? The son of the British duke?

Zhang Bozhong nodded lazily to Bai Tang, and said lightly: "Qiu An values you, you know it so much." ”

Bai Tang stopped Qiu An, who was raising his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "The prince is really good to you, so he will mention me." ”

Qiu An put away his anger, and he didn't know if he was coaxing himself or Bai Tang: "He has that temper, we don't care about him!" ”

Zhang Bozhong looked at Qiu An's appearance, and shot at Bai Tang's gaze, which was even more unkind.
