Li Qingyi said with a smile: "You think that the Yingluo Jewel is rare and beautiful, but think about it from another angle, good flowers do not bloom often, and they will wither after a while, no matter how careful such a token is, it cannot be properly preserved." ”

Chang Yan suddenly realized, "This is also true, this pair of food must not be successful, if you use other things as tokens, you will have to ask for it like Mu Fu in the future, and it will definitely be troublesome." ”

Xiang Lan and Changning thought of something in unison, and suddenly grinned when they looked at each other.

Chang Yan looked at them suspiciously, "What are you laughing at, am I not right?" ”

Sheadan said: "What you said couldn't be more right, but I thought that adults always send some ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum to girls, it turns out that it is not because there is no taste, but because it is pragmatic and long-lasting!" ”

Li Qingyi was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't realize this before, thinking about it, he felt that it was indeed in line with Qin Zeng's consistent style, and couldn't help but laugh and iron, "Okay, let's settle it early, tomorrow on the Shangyuan Festival, I will go back to the Li Mansion, and I will go to see the lights with Miao'er and them at night." ”

Yu Wu said: "Girl, or the slave maid should stay in the house and watch the yard, although Mother Wu was subdued by the girl, but after all, she was the third lady's person before, which is always uneasy." ”

Li Qingyi said with a smile: "The mother and daughter of the Guo family are looking forward to the Yongping Marquis Mansion coming to thank them, how can they think of anything else." Besides, even if Mother Wu really dared to do anything to ask the third lady for credit, the third lady couldn't believe it, not to mention that there was still frost in the courtyard. ”

Hearing this, Yu Wu smiled and said, "What the girl said is that the slave and maid also went to prepare. ”

The girls have long been looking forward to Shangyuan Energy Saving going out to play, and they all smiled and responded.

On the second day, Li Qingyi first went to Haoyue Pavilion to make an appointment with Wei Jin'er for a meeting in the evening, and then returned to Li's mansion.

The aunt and grandmother and Shen Nianzhen's mother and daughter also came back for the festival, and Shen Nianzhen also brought her newly developed fruit back for everyone to taste.

Li Qingyi asked while eating, "Cousin, I heard that you recruited two small workers to help?" ”

Shen Nianzhen nodded: "My mother always can't see me busy alone, but if she wants to help, she is often tired and has back pain, so she can make a small profit during the New Year, and it is not a luxury to hire two small workers." Today's Shangyuan Festival, many shops have ordered fruit from me, and this morning, the people who ordered things have sent people to pick them up, and I also have time to come back to celebrate the festival with you. ”

Li Qingyi was also happy for her when she heard this, "My cousin and aunt can be regarded as taking the first step." ”

"Thanks to my cousin's help, otherwise, how could I have settled in a place like the capital so quickly."

After the family feast, it was just getting dark, and everyone went out for an appointment.

Li Yong went to find a colleague, and Ruan Shi also made an appointment with a friend, and she asked Li Qingyi, "Do you want to go with me, or do you want to go by yourself for a while?" ”

After getting acquainted with the Chen family, the two governments moved more and more closely, and the neighbors were close to each other, and it was very convenient to communicate. Ruan's and Mrs. Lang of the Ministry of Rites are both straightforward and unpretentious, so their friendship is as deep as a day. Coupled with Princess Zhenbei and Mrs. Zhen, several people have now become close friends.

Li Qingyi said with some disgust: "You go around a few times and then go to the horse hanging, let's not join in the fun." ”

Ruan Shi poked her forehead, "If you don't go, you won't go, I'm too lazy to take a bunch of troublesome spirits with you!" Cousin, let's go! ”

After all, Shen Nianzhen is older than Li Qingyi and the others, and he is inferior in seniority, and he is full of thinking about making money, of course he will not go to eat, drink and have fun with them, so he will follow the Ruan family to meet the noble lady.

Not long after they left the house, Zhen Zhen came at a trott, "Sister Li, have you cleaned up?" When are we going to go out? ”

Li Miaoran grabbed her, "I'm waiting for you!" Let's go to the Long Bridge first to meet Sister Jin'er. ”

The market is splendid, and the lights and shadows meet.

The trees on both sides of the road are hung with countless exquisite carved lanterns, and bursts of music come from different places, interweaving an incomparably prosperous liveliness.

There are countless figures near the long bridge, scrambling to push the river lantern in their hands into the water.

Those subtle but bright points of light, the shadows are reflected in the water waves, flowing with the water, gathering and dispersing.

Mu Yan had never joined in such a lively scene before, but this year was a little different.

Yesterday, she received the Yingluo Orb from Qin Zeng, and her mood completely changed.

Sometimes when a girl grows up, it's just a matter of an instant.

She walked down the long bridge with the river lamp in her hands, listened to the orchestral music around her, and watched the people coming and going in the street market, and couldn't help but smile.

Mu Wan followed behind her, also holding a river lamp, but there was no joy on her face.

Mu Yan seemed to have eyes on the back of her head, and said, "Why is the eighth sister unhappy. ”

Mu Wan smiled very reluctantly, "Why did my sister say that, I wasn't unhappy." ”

Mu Yan sneered at her in her heart for pretending, but her face was silent, after all, she didn't believe what Mu Wan said now, and she was just to dispel the other party's doubts, waiting to catch the other party's mistakes, and let her show her true form in front of her grandmother and mother.

Put the lotus lamp in her hand into the water, Mu Yan clasped her hands together, lowered her eyes and made a wish.

"What did my sister wish?"

Mu Yan turned her head to look at her, "My sister is so smart, she should be able to guess it." ”

Mu Wan looked at her, her folded hands clenched unconsciously, and the loss on her face couldn't be hidden, "It must be for Lord Qin, right?" My sister can marry the person I admire, and my sister is happy for you. ”

Mu Yan looked at Mu Wan and despised the other party's hypocrisy in her heart.

What does it mean to be so obvious? It wouldn't be that she wanted to let herself give Qin Zeng to her, so she deliberately showed weakness and sold her miserably, right?

Mu Yan endured and endured, but still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Does my sister also like Lord Qin?" ”

Mu Wan's expression was slightly sluggish, and she quickly lowered her eyes to hide her tears, and said, "Lord Qin has already sent a token to my sister, and you two are willing to get married soon, so why should my sister ask this." ”

Mu Yan saw that she looked like she was robbed of her love by a horizontal knife, and she was immediately aroused, and she left all the vanity and grievances behind, and said angrily: "This matter is a fair competition between you and me, it was Lord Qin who made the choice himself, and what is my sister wronged?!" In the future, he will be your brother-in-law, and I hope my sister can understand clearly! ”

Mu Wan's expression was full of embarrassment, "I didn't say anything, why is my sister so aggressive?" ”

Pu Cao and the others were standing two steps away and waiting, and suddenly seeing the two of them have changed, they seem to be arguing, and hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

It's just that there are a lot of people on the shore, as soon as they move around, the people behind them immediately fill up the position, under the crowding, I don't know who slipped their feet and pounced on the front, Pucao and several people were suddenly pushed forward, Mu Yan was startled, and threw herself straight into the water with a wrong foot!

"Girl!"

"Seventh Sister!"

The water on the river bank was not deep, and everyone hurriedly went over to pull her, but who knew that the wind and waves were strong at night, and a wave of water rushed over, which suddenly washed Mu Yan out of the distance.

Mu Yan poured a mouthful of water into her mouth, and suddenly choked a lot, and the whole person almost lost the ability to react.

The guards and mothers-in-law were all on the periphery of the crowd, and it was too late to call them to come and save people, Pucao Puliu was so frightened that his face was colorless, and many people around exclaimed, "Someone has fallen into the water!" ”

Mu Wan reacted the fastest, and hurriedly chased after her, "Seventh sister, hold me quickly!" ”

Mu Yan's body was unstable when she was washed by the river, floating and sinking, and when she saw Mu Wan reaching over, she tried her best to hook her hand.
