On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, a temple fair was held in the capital.

Zhao Wanning worshiped the seventh sister in the Yueyuan early, and the painting screen prepared the fruit in advance. She is really good at making all kinds of gourmet snacks. Zhao Wanning thought for a while and said, "Picture screen, if I want to open a pastry shop, are you willing to help?" ”

Huaping stopped what he was doing and asked suspiciously, "County Lord, aren't you going to open a bookstore?" Why do you want to open a pastry shop again? ”

Zhao Wanning explained: "The bookstore can't make money. If you want to make money, you still need to find another way. I think your craftsmanship is very good, and there are no northern-style pastries here in the capital, if we do it, of course, the business will be good, and no one will be able to get a piece of the pie for the time being. ”

I.I.com was a little hesitant.

Zhao Wanning thought for a while and said, "If you don't want to show up, then I'll find two cooks, and you can teach them to do it." Rest assured, I will share half of the profit of the store, what do you think? ”

Huaping shook his head and explained, "County Lord, I don't care about this. ”

"Tell me what you think." Zhao Wanning pulled up the right hand of the picture screen, "If I can solve it, it's best, if I can't solve it, then I can also help you share the burden." ”

Seeing that the picture screen was still hesitating, Zhao Wanning soothed: "You don't have to give me an answer immediately, let's spread the book first." ”

As he spoke, the silver candle had already brought something that was used for threading needles and begging.

The three of them came to the courtyard, and the crescent moon was particularly bright tonight, and the silver moonlight was as delicate as silk, gently spreading on the inky night sky, and there were a few stars on it.

The custom of the Great Zhou Qiaoqiao Festival is that women should wear the five-colored silk thread into a continuous arrangement of seven-hole needles in the moonlight, and it becomes "Deqiao" when they can quickly pass through all the threads.

The silver candle sent the five-colored silk thread and the seven-hole needle in time: "County Lord, try to see if you can put this thread into this seven-hole needle." ”

Zhao Wanning frowned, this needle begging ceremony needs to thread the thread into the continuous needle holes quickly, she is not a good woman, and she has never worn the needle thread on weekdays, where did she do such a meticulous thing?

Huaping also said: "According to the tradition of our Great Zhou, on the day of the Qiqiao Festival, the woman will make a feast in front of the court, worship Vega reverently, and beg the seventh sister to bless us with wisdom. ”

Of course, Zhao Wanning didn't believe that just doing this ceremony could bless her wisdom, but she couldn't stop the silver candle and the painting screen from paying attention. also told her: "Since the county lord wants to open a shop to make money, it is good to worship one more god to bless himself." ”

Zhao Wanning sometimes felt that feudal superstition was not advisable.

Unable to match the enthusiasm of the two little girls, Zhao Wanning had no choice but to hold a seven-hole needle in his left hand and a five-colored silk thread in his right hand, threading the needle through the moonlight.

The moon was exceptionally bright tonight, and Zhao Wanning's fingers were pricked several times before he finally stumbled through all the needles and threads.

"Alright, alright. The seventh sister also worshipped, the Qiaoguo also ate, and the needle was also done. While it's still early, let's hurry out of the house. ”

"Hong Hongyi should be in a hurry."

Silver Candle nodded, then neatly put away the needle and thread.

After the three of them left the house, a sneaky figure touched the Yueyuan Garden and took away the seven-hole needle.

There is no curfew tonight, and the streets are full of people.

Zhao Wanning and the three of them stopped and watched for a while in front of the juggling stall, and then went to buy rock sugar gourds and sugar people.

walked around like this, and when he arrived at the agreed place, Xiao Hongyi had not yet come.

Zhao Wanning held the sugar man, the sugar man was painted with a white crane flying high, lifelike, she was reluctant to eat it in her hand.

The crowd was crowded, Zhao Wanning was suddenly hit by someone, and the white crane also fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.

Zhao Wanning raised his head and was about to get angry, but he fell in love with a young man with a high ponytail.

It's Qi Pour.

Zhao Wanning felt unlucky, and turned her head and wanted to leave. But she didn't expect that Qi Qian grabbed her with one hand.

Zhao Wanning turned around and said angrily: "Men and women don't kiss, and I ask General Qi to let go." ”

Qi Zhen said hesitantly: "County Lord, it is Qi Zhen who is abrupt." ”

"If you know that it is abrupt, then let go immediately." Zhao Wanning frowned, trying to break free from Qi Yan's shackles.

Qi Chu turned a blind eye and continued: "Can the county lord change places, Qi Chu has something to discuss with the county lord." ”

Zhao Wanning smiled coldly: "You and I have dissolved the marriage contract, and from now on the bridge will return to the bridge and the road to the road." I don't even know what I need to discuss with General Qi Xiao. ”

Qi Wei was choked by Zhao Wanning, and said: "I am sorry for the county lord for the marriage contract." After Qingle Restaurant talked about it, Qi Chuan kept his mouth shut and didn't spread anything outside, but he didn't know why these rumors were circulating. ”

"I've been looking for an opportunity to apologize to the county lord, but I've always been stopped by the eldest princess. I finally met with the county lord today, and I asked the county lord to explain it clearly. ”

Zhao Wanning didn't want to have anything to do with him. Regardless of whether the rumors outside came from him or not, since they had broken off their engagement, there was no need to contact each other again. She is not a saint, she can't forgive generously, she can only be out of sight and out of mind.

Qi Chu suddenly became squirming.

"General Qi, I accept your apology." Zhao Wanning said coldly: "It's just that I hope the two of us don't see each other again in the future." If you really feel sorry for me, then please treat me as a stranger to meet in the water. “

"We live up to each other in this life."

Hearing that this life was worth seeing each other, Qi Chen's heart suddenly throbbed, and he blurted out: "Don't not see each other." ”

Zhao Wanning laughed and said, "That's right, you still ask to marry my cousin." Maybe it's my cousin-in-law in the future, and you and I can be considered relatives. ”

"That's not what I meant," Qi said.

The two were still pulling, and Zhao Chenan suddenly appeared.

"Sister Wanning!" Zhao Chen'an's tone was pleasantly surprised: "You also come to visit the temple fair." ”

Zhao Wanning sneered: "Knowingly asked." ”

Zhao Chen'an saw that Qi Zhen was also there, so he said aggrievedly: "Sister, Chen'an is just a little happy to see you at the temple fair. Chen'an had never participated in a temple fair before, and this was the first time. If there's something wrong, please don't get angry. ”

Zhao Wanning didn't care what she said. Zhao Chenan is the best at pretending to be pitiful, but Zhao Wanning doesn't eat this.

Qi Yan let go of Zhao Wanning's hand as early as when Zhao Chen'an appeared.

Zhao Wanning smiled: "It just so happens that General Qi is also here, so you can let General Qi accompany you to the temple fair." ”

Zhao Chen'an didn't want to be with the wood-like Qi Xuan. She affectionately took Zhao Wanning's arm and continued: "Sister, are you disgusting Chen'an? ”

Zhao Wanning directly brushed her hand down, and said in a strange manner: "Sister Chen'an, General Qi has a deep affection for you, and he will come to the door to propose marriage in a few days." It just so happened that the two of you met at today's temple fair, which can be regarded as fate. You should take this opportunity to cultivate a good relationship with General Qi Xiao. ”

"Oh, yes, I remembered. When you came to the capital this time, you came back with General Qi Xiao. I think the two of you also have a lot of friendship. ”

After that, Zhao Wanning turned around and left without waiting for Zhao Chen'an to react.

Qi Wei looked at the back of Zhao Wanning's resolute departure, and felt a little sad. He didn't know why, obviously he liked Zhao Chen'an, but when he heard Zhao Wanning say that he didn't want to see him in this life, he would be so sad. Moreover, when he saw Zhao Chenan this time, for some reason he didn't have that feeling of a fast heartbeat.

Maybe his feelings for Zhao Chenan are not as deep as before.

Zhao Chenan didn't want to go to the temple fair with a little general. She originally heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would go out on patrol today, but she had never seen the prince, and she didn't know what the prince looked like, so she wanted to follow Zhao Wanning, if she could meet the prince, Zhao Wanning would definitely be able to recognize it.

Now that Zhao Wanning has turned around and left, she naturally has to follow.

Qi Zhen remembered Zhao Wanning's words, and he said seriously: "The temple fair is full of people, and Miss Chen'an is the first time to visit the temple fair, so why don't you go with me." ”

Qi Qian is still useful for the time being, and Zhao Chenan doesn't want to have a head-on conflict with him for the time being. Zhao Chen'an rolled his eyes, and then said: "I suddenly remembered that I hadn't finished the homework assigned by the eldest princess today, and Chen'an was out of company." ”

For some reason, seeing the back of Zhao Chen'an leaving, Qi Chuan felt a little relaxed.

Zhao Wanning stopped at the arch bridge.

She ran into Pei Yue again.

The capital is still too small. Zhao Wanning secretly slandered herself, she shouldn't have gone out today. not only met Qi Shen and Zhao Chen'an, but also met Pei Yue at this time.

Pei Yue was alone at this time, standing in the crowd and looking a little alone, he was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Wanning.

Zhao Wanning turned around and left, but was stopped by Pei Yue: "Pei Yue has seen the county lord of Qinghe." ”

Zhao Wanning had no choice but to salute back: "Pei Gongzi is fine." ”

Pei Yue was very surprised, when he was about to invite Zhao Wanning to visit the temple fair together, Xiao Hongyi came.

"Why are you here?" Zhao Wanning complained that if Xiao Hongyi had arrived earlier, she wouldn't have to meet these messy people.

"Tell me more. My grandmother took me to get that begging needle, where did I do such a delicate job? But my grandmother said she wouldn't let me go out until I finished it. Xiao Hongyi continued with a miserable look: "I can't wait to pierce all these ten fingers before I can thread all the threads, and I will come to you as soon as I finish wearing them." ”

Zhao Wanning sneered: "Then the two of us are really the same people." I was also forced to wear that seven-hole needle by the silver candle and the picture screen. My fingers were also pricked several times, and they all bled out. ”

"Then you're really yourself." Xiao Hongyi pulled up her finger and looked at it: "That's right, you have always been pampered with fine skin and tender meat, and it will bleed if you touch it lightly." Unlike people like me, who have rough skin and thick flesh, it hurts when they are pricked by needles. ”

Zhao Wanning remembered that Pei Yue was still here, so he said to him: "Master Pei, I want to go to the temple fair with Miss Xiao, but I am out of company." ”

Just after the two left, Pei Yue went to the pharmacy.

"Did that person jump into the pond that day to save you?" Xiao Hongyi asked, "I remember he also sent you a book." ”

Zhao Wanning didn't speak, and acquiesced.

"Does he like you?" Xiao Hongyi gossiped.

Zhao Wanning was annoyed and angry, and pushed her: "I don't want to discuss these children's affections. ”

"Yes, yes, Boss Zhao. How about you now focus on your business? Have you chosen a location for your store? ”

"I've found it, I want you to come with me to see it today."

Zhao Wanning took Xiao Hongyi through the alley, and finally stopped in front of a two-story building. It's at the intersection of Suzaku Street and Xuanwu Street, and it should attract a lot of people.

"This floor can be used as a bookstore, the second floor can be used as a warehouse, and there are two wings to house the Su sisters."

Xiao Hongyi nodded: "It looks really good, then I will wish Boss Zhao a lot of money in advance." ”

When the two left, they ran into Pei Yue again.

Pei Yue took two boxes of ointment and said, "Pei Yue is abrupt, I heard that the county lord and Miss Xiao have injured their fingers. This muscle-building ointment has an outstanding effect on pain and bleeding, and it will not leave scars. I also hope that the county lord and Miss Xiao will smile. ”

Before Zhao Wanning could say no, Xiao Hongyi took it and threw a box to Zhao Wanning.

"Then we will thank Pei Gongzi."
