Ning Xi didn't know what He Shiyan was thinking, anyway, after she went out, she went to the kitchen to stew chicken soup.

The chickens were raised by Mrs. Shen's farm, and when she learned that someone in her family was conducting a scientific expedition, she sent a few over.

After blanching, the chicken pieces were stewed in the pot, and all the floating oil was skimmed off.

Only some shiitake mushrooms and red dates were put in, and the soup was bright and smelled sweet.

After boiling, it simmers over low heat, and when it is time for dinner, it is ready to be served.

He Shiyan sat opposite Ning Xi and naturally served a bowl of soup to the two of them.

The chicken soup is in the stomach, and it feels warm, as if it sweeps away the tiredness of the room.

……

Coinciding with the year of the township test, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, the provincial capital is particularly lively.

Ning Xi changed into a delicate skirt and went out with He Shiyan, who had been carefully cultivating in the past few days, and his illness had been cured.

There is no curfew in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the restaurant is brightly lit, and there is a lively scene inside and outside the city.

Ning Xi walked on the street and saw many scholars rushing in one direction, she asked, only to know that the Mid-Autumn Festival feast Chu Lou chose the Oiran.

In this era, famous prostitutes can become talented people, so students who have just finished the township examination like to go to the Qinglou to participate in this Oiran conference.

Ning Xi looked at the young scholar who was in a hurry, and she bumped He Shiyan with her elbow, "Do you want to go?" ”

He Shiyan shook his head, he was not interested from the bottom of his heart, "Accompany you to release the river lantern." ”

Ning Xi actually wanted to go and see it, but the men who were crowded around everywhere gave up, so it was better to go and eat some delicious food with He Shiyan, who was refreshing.

Along the way, He Shiyan told her about the Mid-Autumn Festival customs of this era.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, many people go to the river to put river lanterns, and then the wishes of the pious wishers will come true.

Ning Xi stood in front of the stall selling lanterns, looked up sideways and asked, "Do you believe it?" ”

He Shiyan shook his head and chuckled, but carefully selected the lantern.

The stall owner said happily, "Childe's vision is really good, this lamp is painted with Fairy Chang'e, which is just right for the girl next to you." ”

He Shiyan looked at Ning Xi.

Ning Xi picked up an ordinary lotus lamp, "'Yu Duai Lotus comes out of the mud without staining, and the water is clear and ripples without demons', Brother He, this lotus lamp is very good." ”

He Shiyan took out the money to settle the bill, "Then let's buy two." ”

Ning Xi carried the bright river lantern to the bottom of the bridge, and there were already a lot of lanterns floating on the river, which looked pleasing to the eye.

She crouched down, a little annoyed, "It's not going to sink, is it?" I'm not going to let it go."

"I'll come, all you have to do is make a wish." He Shiyan was next to her, and his voice was exceptionally good.

Ning Xi smiled, "Didn't you say you didn't believe this?" ”

He Shiyan was silent.

He didn't believe it before, but now he believes that the woman in front of him is a gift from God.

He gently lowered both lotus lamps into the water.

Ripples rippled in a circle, a gust of autumn wind hit, as if there was a "poof" sound, and the lotus lantern that had just been put down was overturned by the water waves.

Ning Xi: "......"

She turned her head to look at He Shiyan.

He Shiyan only felt that the roots of his ears were hot, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Ning Xi leaned sideways slightly, her shoulders trembled, and she couldn't hold back her laughter at all.

He stood up embarrassed, "I'll buy it again."

"Brother Shiyan~" Ning Xi grabbed his hand and scratched his palm with his fingertips, "No need, I'll tell you all my wishes, okay?" ”

"If you help me make it happen."

He Shiyan's heart settled down, leaned down to listen to her wishes, and after listening to it, his heart rose again, beating wildly

Ning Xi looked at the figure reflected in the river, the two figures were intertwined, and when she raised her head and saw his red ears, she was in a good mood.

After getting on the bridge, her hand was still held by He Shiyan and refused to let go.

Ning Xi squeezed his hand, stood on tiptoe and asked him, "I don't know your wish yet." ”

He Shiyan turned his head to look at her, and his deep eyes seemed to have starlight flickering.

"I, I'll only marry one wife in the future."

Ning Xi quipped: "What about the concubine? What about the outer chambers? ”

He Shiyan suddenly clenched her hand, "You know what I mean." ”

Now he realized that the little girl in front of him was particularly bad.

Ning Xi smiled, "Don't you say how I understand"

He Shiyan leaned sideways slightly, not wanting her to see her red ears, "There will be no one else, only you." ”

Ning Xi didn't embarrass him anymore, pulled him towards the crowd, she pointed to a stall on the shore that was surrounded by people, "Let's go, let's go and see what is sold over there." ”

When I walked over, I found that most of them were stalls selling flowers and jewelry.

People come and go, and there are many girls wearing hairpins, which is quite interesting.

She hadn't hairpinned a hairpin yet, and before she knew it, she had already walked to the stall, and the stall owner recommended it vigorously.

"What kind of flowers does the girl like?" These are all freshly picked, and this hibiscus flower is a perfect match for you. ”

Ning Xi poked He Shiyan, "Give me a choice." ”

He Shiyan chose a hibiscus hairpin between her sideburns, inadvertently pulled out a strand of hair, and carefully pulled it back.

Looking at his fiancée, who was as beautiful as a flower, his heart was a little hotter again.

Ning Xi saw that there were still hairpins sold next to him, so he picked up a jasper hairpin and looked at it, which was very flattering to He Shiyan.

"Here's for you." Ning Xi stood on tiptoe and put on a hosta for him with his own hands.

At the moment of the festival, if the man is a woman's hairpin, and the woman wears a hairpin for the man herself, it is regarded as a joy between the two lovers, and the relationship is settled.

……

The list was released at the beginning of September, and there was still about half a month, Ning Xi thought that it would be better to wait for the list to be released in the provincial capital and then return to Yong'an City.

Before they arrived at the township test list, their house ushered in an uninvited guest.

When Wang Linzhang knocked on the courtyard door, Ning Xi was making osmanthus flavored essential oils in the courtyard, and He Shiyan happened to ask Bai Zi to ask them to kick the juju to exercise and was not at home.

When Ning Xi opened the courtyard door and saw him, he couldn't help frowning, Wang Linzhang didn't live a good life in Beijing, what did he do after a long journey?

Along with her curiosity, there was also the little white cat walking around at her feet.

Wang Linzhang asked the guards to guard outside, and only one person pushed him in.

Ning Xi saw that his legs were not yet good, and he was in a wheelchair, but his face was much better than before, after all, Wang Zuo could provide him with an excellent life.

"Miss Ning, long time no see."

Ning Xi served tea in the courtyard, bowed his head slightly, and his gaze swept over his legs, "How is Wang Gongzi doing recently?" ”

As soon as Wang Linzhang entered the courtyard, he smelled the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and he remembered that when he was in the capital, he suddenly heard a news about her.

It turned out that those essential oils that claimed to be able to beautify and nourish her face were made by her, but she didn't expect that she was so young and had such a talent.

Wang Linzhang nodded and looked at Ning Xi, "Everything is fine, Miss Lao Ning is worried." ”

I haven't seen her for a long time, and she is so dazzling.

Ning Xi sat down at the stone table, not in a hurry to know the purpose of his coming, drinking tea, while listening to Xiao Tongzi's report on Wang Linzhang's movements in Beijing.
