August 15 of the lunar calendar is the Mid Autumn Festival.
This day was no different from usual. At most, Jiang family had a reunion dinner together. But even for this reunion dinner, it is not accurate to say "together". Because Jiang yu'e was sent to Chuang Tzu to "recuperate", Jiang yu'e had to go to Ningyuan Hou's house in the spring of next year. In fact, she was still young, but because Yang was afraid of dragging on too long, it would be bad for Jiang yu'e, so she had to let Jiang yu'e marry first.
Jiang Youyao probably finally learned that there was no room for turning around. She didn't give up. She couldn't do anything by being grounded by old lady Jiang all day, and she lost a lot in less than a month. The original charming and charming, but now it looks like the wind blows down, chuchuchu pitiful.
But in this way, Jiang Yuanbai was more distressed. During the meal, Jiang Li noticed that Jiang Yuanbai's attitude towards Ji shuran's mother and daughter was extremely gentle. It should be that he felt that Zhou Yanbang had wronged Jiang Youyao and was compensating Jiang Youyao.
Jiang Li had no other feelings when she saw the happy appearance of their family. Lu Shi couldn't see it, and deliberately blocked Ji shuran's way: "everyone is going to the Mid Autumn Festival lantern festival tonight."
"You Yao won't go," Ji shuran said. "You Yao has got the cold, and it's not good these days. If you go out, it's even more troublesome to have a hairdryer. Go ahead, and I'll accompany you at home."
Old lady Jiang has not yet solved Jiang Youyao's foot ban. Because of Jiang Youyao's temperament and feelings for Zhou Yanbang, it is inevitable to let her go out and find Zhou Yanbang. Mrs. Jiang hoped that Jiang Youyao would give up her heart. If Jiang Youyao kept pestering Zhou Yanbang, it would also make the people of the Marquis house in Ningyuan look down on the Jiang family.
Jiang Youyao didn't want to go out himself, although being grounded was also very annoying. But as long as the thought of going out, everyone should look at her with a sympathetic eye, Jiang Youyao felt extremely humiliated. Although Zhou Yanbang had nothing to do with her, she also became a joke in this affair, poor fiancee. It's better to stay in the house without seeing other people's eyes outside.
"I won't go either." Jiang Yuanbai said, "I still have Court Affairs to deal with." Now he feels wronged by Jiang Youyao and wants to compensate his little daughter. Ji shuran's mother and daughter won't go, and Jiang Yuanbai definitely doesn't have the reason to leave his wife and daughter and go alone.
Lu's eyes turned and said, "if you don't go, what about pear? You can't let pear go alone?"
Jiang Yuanping on one side coughed softly.
"It's all right," Jiang Li said with a smile, "I don't really want to go."
"Pear girl, go with your second aunt." Mrs. Jiang suddenly spoke, and she said, "you just returned to Yanjing this year, and the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival is also very good. You have worked hard these days, so have a good rest."
Old lady Jiang spoke, and Jiang Li was naturally not able to shirk anything. Although she was unwilling, she had to accept it. At this time, Jiang Yuanbai was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was the eldest daughter who had just returned to Beijing, and on the other hand, he was the wronged young daughter, with meat on the palm and back of his hand. But in the end, he decided to stay in the mansion. Jiang Li seems to be sensible and generous, but Jiang Youyao has never suffered anything. She will have a chance to compensate Jiang Li in the future.
Seeing that the eldest son was still only concerned about Ji shuran's mother and daughter, he sighed in his heart, shook his head, and went back after dinner. On the contrary, Jiang Jingrui was the happiest. After the old lady left, she kept winking at Jiang Li. After the show ended, she deliberately walked behind and said to Jiang Li, "you also said you didn't want to go. Isn't the old lady's word still worth following?"
Jiang Li was just upset and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Jiang Jingrui said to himself, "at that time, you will be an eye opener. It's said that Jin Mantang is going to sing a party tonight for food, sugar figurines, and lantern riddles along the way. I'll open your eyes at that time. Hey, don't go -"
Jiang Li left Jiang Jingrui far behind, and walked faster and faster. She couldn't hide. Thinking about the sadness of not going out tonight, it happened that old lady Jiang spoke. If she avoided it, it would be too deliberate. However, it's not bad to go out. When people outside saw her coming out to watch the Lantern Festival, Jiang Yuanbai and Ji shuran, Jiang Youyao and others were not there. They also had to give some advice in their hearts.
In front of outsiders, Jiang Yuanbai always has to worry about some points and try to level a bowl of water.
I have to take one step at a time.
Due to the words of Mrs. Jiang, after dinner, when it got dark, Jiang Li had to travel with the people in the second room.
Old lady Jiang is not here. Her legs and feet are inconvenient. She stays in the house to play with Jiang Bingji. In the big room, only Jiang Li went out alone, and the people in the second room were all together. Sanfang Yang and Jiang Yuanxing didn't come out either. Jiang yu'e except for this and other things. Now Jiang Yuanxing has to bow his head when he goes out to see his colleagues. Of course, he won't go out and lose face. Jiang Yuyan is even more unlikely to go out.
Tong'er and Bai Xue also followed Jiang Li. It was the first time for the two servant girls to go shopping, and they exclaimed from time to time. Jiang Jingrui deliberately fell behind, walked side by side with Jiang Li, and said, "Why are you not curious at all? I see that the two girls around you look happier than you."
Jiang Li's expression is very plain, which is different from that in peacetime. Jiang Jingrui finds that she can even be called indifferent. Although the corners of her lips are wearing the usual smile, even the warm light of the lantern can't illuminate her smile.
However, this picture with a little quiet beauty attracted many Playboys. Along the way, Jiang Jingrui just found that there were no less than seven or eight young masters peeping at Jiang Li.
The streets and alleys of Yanjing City, restaurants and tea shops are filled with all kinds of lanterns, which are made by the people themselves. The customs of each place are similar, for example, the lanterns in Yanjing city are the same as the river lanterns in Tongxiang. Only lanterns are hung on rope rope rope mountain, while river lanterns are floating on water.
There are hexagonal ones, and some are made into lampstands. There are not a few clever people. Although Jiang Jingrui is careless on weekdays, he is also very interested in these beautiful things. From time to time, he pulled Jiang Li and said, "this is good-looking, or that is good-looking.". Jiang Li was quite speechless. She only felt that compared with herself, Jiang Jingrui was like a real cardamom girl, with an innocent face and gentle longing.
When he saw a rabbit like lantern, Jiang Jingrui was unable to walk. Even the people in the front two rooms didn't keep up, so they had to buy it. However, the owner of the rabbit lantern is also stubborn. He only said that the lamp would not be sold unless someone guessed the riddle above and gave it to the other party as a gift in return.
Jiang Jingrui had a headache as soon as he saw the literate, and Jiang Jingyou and them went to the front early again. He pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and said, "aren't you the first in the school exam? Come on! Guess this, help me win this rabbit lamp, and I'll give you 50 liang of silver!"
Jiang Li looked down on Jiang Jingrui's behavior and wanted to refuse, but when she heard his last sentence, she changed her mind. Fifty liang of silver is also a lot. Jiang Jingrui is worthy of being a dandy, and he is really a spender. I am willing to exchange 50 Liang silver for such a useless lantern. Unfortunately, a penny can't beat the hero. Jiang Li didn't expect that she would sell herself to learn to exchange money.
However, it's better to have money than not. You can't see how many scholars in the world are talented and penniless.
She stopped and looked carefully at the lantern that Jiang Jingrui liked very much.
People who tie lanterns also have some skills, so animal shaped lanterns are difficult to tie, but this person is lifelike. The body is wrapped in snow-white cloth, with a skeleton made of bamboo inside. A pair of long pink ears, eyes decorated with two red beans. With the lights flickering inside, the rabbit's eyes also seemed to be flexible, as if they were going to jump up in the next moment.
It's really a beautiful lantern.
Looking at the lantern riddle written on the wooden board under the lantern, Jiang Li originally looked at it with a smile, but suddenly, her smile froze and her expression changed dramatically.
I saw a small line of words on the lantern riddle, impressively writing a row of familiar lantern riddles: thousands of people are looking for him.
In an instant, Jiang Li's ear seemed to ring back the affectionate voice, he said: "this word, just like I do to you."
All the past events fell in front of her, and Jiang Li withdrew her hand like a burn.
Jiang Jingrui urged her, "what's the matter? Guess quickly!"
"I can't guess." Jiang Li said coldly.
"How is it possible?" Jiang Jingrui said, "you are the leader of Mingyi hall. This lantern riddle is not red, so it is not the most difficult to guess. How can you not guess it?"
Jiang Li said, "if you can't guess, you just can't guess. You'd better hire someone else." She turned her head and walked away, as if she hated the lamp so much that she didn't even want to look at it more.
Jiang Jingrui didn't expect it, but he couldn't give up the lamp. For a moment, he didn't catch up with Jiang Li. When he caught up, there would be no shadow of Jiang Li in the crowd. Jiang Jingrui immediately felt bad.
Jiang Li walked slowly along the crowd.
Lu Shi and others have come to the front, and Jiang Jingrui is behind. The crowd will be crowded one after another, and they will soon be scattered. They are not in the same place, and it is easy to get lost.
Jiang Li was not very afraid. She recognized the road of Yanjing city and caught a glimpse of the location of the nearest Chengshou from the corner of her eyes. If there was any problem, she could call for help to the Chengshou nearest to her at the first time.
She also didn't want to go to Lu Shi or Jiang Jingrui, but felt that this was a rare time to be alone. Since returning to Beijing, she is Jiang Li. Although she has been used to this identity, occasionally, she will remember her original name, xuefangfei.
For fear that Jiang Li's life will be too long, he will forget his original name and what he wants to do. Indulging in the comfortable life brought by this identity is not what she wants. Tonight's lantern riddle, like a bitter strong medicine, astringent heart and hair numbness, but it also makes people briefly awake.
Therefore, it's also good to be alone when you can give up the time to be a "Ginger pear".
Tong'er and Bai Xue didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking. Seeing that Jiang Jingrui and his party could no longer be seen in the crowd, tong'er said, "girl, let's go to find the second master and them? We can't see anything. What should we do if we can't find the way back to the house later?"
"Nothing." Jiang Li said, "I remember the way."
"There are too many people." Bai Xue also advised: "we didn't bring a bodyguard with us. What if something happens?"
Jiang Li looked at herself. Now Miss Jiang er's fiercest enemy was Ji shuran's mother and daughter. But Ji shuran's mother and daughter will not pick so many people and be in full view of her. Jiang Youyao didn't say it, but Ji shuran was very meticulous and wouldn't leave anyone with any handle. However, everything has an accident, and it can't be inferred from common sense. If the mother and daughter become crazy, everything is possible.
She stopped thinking about walking alone and said, "that's right."
Bai Xue and tong'er both breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Li was about to go forward to find Lu's figure, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a person not far away: "YeShiJie?"
After the Palace Banquet, Jiang Li seldom went to the Mingyi hall. What happened to Jiang yu'e affected the reputation of the Jiang family girl. Mrs. Jiang asked her to go out as little as possible when she had nothing to do on weekdays until she avoided the limelight. So Jiang Li had no chance to meet Ye Shijie again.
At the moment, in front of a small vendor who bought lanterns not far away, ye Shijie and a middle-aged man seemed to be choosing lanterns, talking, looking particularly familiar.
Jiang Li guessed that it was a person Ye Shijie knew. Thinking of inquiring about ye Shijie's recent situation, especially whether Li Lian had once again courted him, she planned to go through the crowd and walk to Ye Shijie at the other end.
But I didn't know that this scene of my action was all seen by another person.
Looking at the fairy tower, Kong Liuzheng was staring at the people coming and going downstairs. In fact, he didn't like to look at these flowers, lights, and bright eyes. However, it is better to watch the excitement than to stay in the government house and watch the boring Korean affairs. Moreover, there are many pleasing girls in this lively scene, which can add luster to the gloomy night.
But tonight, Kong Liu found a familiar shadow among the pleasant girls.
"Hey, it's Miss Jiang ER!" Kong Liu stood up and excitedly said to Ji Heng, "come and see, it's Miss Jiang er. I didn't expect that she also came out to watch the light tonight. No, why is she alone? There's no Jiang family around. It's sneaking out?"
Lu Ji, who was tasting tea, glanced down with his eyes and said, "how can anyone sneak out and take a servant girl? There are so many people outside, probably separated from his family."
"Scattered?" Kong Liu frowned, "there are so many people outside, and there are many criminals. Every year, women are kidnapped by criminals. Such a beautiful little girl is inevitable to attract people's attention. If something happens, it's bad."
"What should you do?" Lu Ji looked at him curiously.
"I'll send her to her family!" What Kong Liu said is natural.
"Kong Liu," said Lu Ji, "don't be paranoid. Don't say it's the daughter of the Shoufu family. Even ordinary girls don't look up to you at your age."
"Am I old?" Kong Liu immediately flew into a rage, "I'm the best age. What do you know? What's wrong with my age? You're just old. Your fucking beard is so long!"
Lu Ji was not angry at all. Smiling, he stretched out his hand and pointed it out to Kong Liu: "I didn't say how you can compare with the young young man. You see, Miss Jiang Er, isn't she just looking for young master ye?"
As soon as this word came out, not only Kong Liu, but also Ji Heng, who had been playing with fans, couldn't help glancing downstairs.
Sure enough, Jiang Li and the two servant girls around him were walking across the street in the crowd. Because there were too many people coming and going, the distance of one street was also very difficult. But what's rare is that she has an excellent sense of direction. She has been moving in one direction and has not been dispersed by successive streams of people.
And the purpose of her going there is no doubt that there is a handsome young man standing, ye Shijie.
She wants to go to Ye Shijie.
Lu Ji said with a smile, "this pair of cousins have excellent feelings."
"Isn't that nonsense? People are relatives." On June 1st, Kong forgot that Lu Ji laughed at his old age, and looked at Jiang Li and ye Shijie intently.
Ji Heng also stood in front of the window and looked thoughtfully. Suddenly, he closed the fan and said, "Wenji."
The bodyguard in black quietly appeared in front of him.
"Please ask Miss Jiang Er to come up."
Lu Ji and Kong Liu didn't expect Ji Chen to suddenly say such a sentence. They all looked at him together, their eyes hard to hide surprise.
"Just say I invite Miss Jiang Er to watch the JinManTang concert and arrange the front seat for her."
Kong Liu's chin almost fell off.
……
The crowd is really crowded.
Although Yanjing city is much larger than Tongxiang, there are also many more people. At the busiest time in Tongxiang, it is no more than half of Yanjing city. It's hard to imagine a narrow street on weekdays, and it's so difficult to cross today.
At last, we are going to reach the opposite side.
Just as Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to take two servant girls to Ye Shijie's end, suddenly, a man in black stopped in front of them.
Tong'er was so scared that she almost screamed, and snow white also raised her fist. The man in black seemed to be expressionless, and said word by word: "Miss Jiang Er, please see the JinManTang singing party, and you have arranged the front position in Wangxian building."
"Lord of the kingdom?" Jiang Li said, "Ji Hong?"
Wen Ji was a little surprised. Miss Jiang Er even called the adult's name without changing her face. He nodded.
Jiang Li frowned, and tong'er whispered, "girl, this man suddenly appeared. What country Lord, is it not a bluff..."
"It's not bluffing," Jiang Li answered. "He's the man of the Duke of Su."
This time, Wen Ji was even more surprised. He was sure that Jiang Li had not seen him, but why did Jiang Li say so sure. The next moment, I heard Jiang Li's faint voice: "Duke Su likes beauty and hates ugliness. This dark guard is so beautiful that it must be Duke Su's person."
Wen Jiqing stood very steady and almost slipped when he heard what Jiang Li said.
It was tong'er who looked up carefully at Wen Ji at the moment. When he saw Wen Ji's face clearly, he couldn't help taking a breath and said, "really! Girl, he's much better looking than the bodyguard in our house! He's almost as good-looking as the second young master!"
Wen Ji: "...."
Snow White pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and whispered, "that girl, are we still going?"
Jiang Li looked at Wen Ji. Wen Ji couldn't see any expression. She thought several times in her heart. Finally, she sighed and said, "go."
Tong'er was still a little afraid, but Jiang Li was helpless. She knew that even if she said she couldn't go and refused to go to Duke Su, Ji Heng would have a way to let her go. The reason why he is so polite is that he wants to be polite, but this person has dictatorial blood in his bones.
No one can refuse him, because he always has his own way.
Those who know current affairs are heroes. Jiang Li only said, "let's go."
She and tong'er Bai Xue walked to Wangxian building with Wen Ji.
Ye Shijie is talking with Ye Mingxuan while crossing the lanterns. Accidentally, he looks back and suddenly sees a familiar figure. He almost blurted out the name of Jiang Li, but before he said it, the figure was submerged with the crowd and could no longer be seen.
Ye Shijie suspected that he had read the wrong thing, and stared at him in a daze. Ye Mingxuan paid the money. In a flash, ye Shijie looked at the crowd in a daze and asked him, "what's the matter?"
"Nothing." Ye Shijie took back his eyes and shook his head, secretly saying that it was about an illusion. Even if Jiang Li comes out tonight, she won't be alone. There will always be Jiang's family to follow.
He's really freaking out.
……
Wangxian building is the largest restaurant in Yanjing city.
When Jiang Li was the wife of the Shen family, she passed this building with Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun. At that time, Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun were very envious, but she didn't care much. Compared with the Shen family, her desire has always been weak and deadly. But at that time, she knew that wangxianlou was a gold selling cave, where the upper class came.
Where I failed to step in my previous life, but I can walk in so swaggeringly in this life, it is still called "guest of honor" and "invited" in. Although this invitation is not that invitation, it is also justified in the end.
Some people had come to the hall on the first floor, but Jiang Li was invited to the second floor.
In the tea room on the second floor.
The Shoufu mansion is already very luxurious, but the Wangxian building is more exquisite than the Jiang family. The blanket on the ground alone is a Persian long wool embroidered tapestry, with gemstones on the top. The incense ginger and pear lit in the room can't smell, but it's very comfortable and fragrant. In Xue Zhao's words, it's "very expensive at first sight".
In the tea room on the second floor of Wangxian building, which is "very expensive at first sight", Wen Ji helped Jiang Li lift the curtain and walked in.
Jiang Li saw the people inside.
To her surprise, in addition to Ji Heng, there were two people inside. One was a green shirted scribe with a goatee. He smiled at Jiang Li. Jiang Li didn't know this person, but smiled back. Another person Jiang Li knew was the examiner of the "imperial shooting" school in the verification field. He got on the light truck and was called Kongwei, the captain of the light truck.
Kong Liu was very happy to see Jiang Li, and said in a rough voice, "Miss Jiang er." It seemed that he wanted to talk with Jiang Lipan for a few words, but he couldn't think of the right words after thinking about it, so he could only praise dryly: "Miss Jiang er's horse is good, and her arrow is also good!"
It was like praising the soldiers he had accepted.
Lu Ji and Ji Heng both gave him a strange look.
Kong Liu scratched his head, laughed and stopped talking.
Jiang Li just looked at Ji Heng. The young man was wearing a light red robe today. Although it was light, it made his appearance more colorful. His skin is whiter than a woman's painted powder, and his lips are ruddy than the peach blossom in April, so the whiter the white, the redder the red. His eyes are bright amber, and he doesn't touch human fireworks. Where he stands, there is a painting. Even if he lazily plays with the gold wire folding fan in his hand, it can be painted into a mystery at any time.
"What's the matter with the Duke of the country looking for me?" Jiang Li asked. She really couldn't figure out what Ji Heng wanted her to do?
Ji Heng glanced at her and suddenly laughed. He said, "at least we have some friendship. Miss Jiang Er doesn't have to be divided. Today's Mid Autumn Festival, I met fate on the road. Jin Mantang was at the wangxianlou concert. Please enjoy it together."
Jiang Li wondered, where did they still have some friendship? In terms of friendship, it was all bad karma. Ji Peng has seen her calculate abbess Jing'an's peace and Enlightenment on Qingcheng Mountain, and she has also seen her agitate Shen Ruyun and muddy the spring water of Zhou Yanbang and Jiang yu'e. And she also ran into the secrets of Ji Heng and the Li family. They knew each other's secrets. At some times, it was not too much to say that they wanted to kill each other. Ji Xuan said with a light face, as if they had been friends for many years.
It's unbelievable.
And they are not "predestined by fate on the road", it is clear that Ji Chen sent someone to come, and did not give her the second choice "please".
Jiang Li said, "thank you for your kindness, but I don't like going to the theatre."
"If the second young lady wants to sing better in the future, she might as well think about famous actors." Ji Xuan smiled at him.
Jiang Li almost couldn't laugh. Ji Chen's words seemed to remind her of the Palace Banquet again. This is really one of the things she did wrong, that is, she shouldn't be caught in the pigtail by Ji Heng, so threatening all day long!
Kong Liu looked around, puzzled by the delicate atmosphere between Ji Heng and Jiang Li, but he was kind, She said to Jiang Li, "Miss Jiang Er, I saw you upstairs just now, and there was no bodyguard or your family around me, but I was separated from my family. There are not a few women who get lost at the annual Lantern Festival, and there are many criminals. Even if there is a city guard, it is not safe. We might as well wait until we finish this meeting, and we will find someone to escort you back to your house, so that you and your family can meet. In order to avoid accidents."
Stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling face. Besides, Kong Liu looks much more sincere and simple than Ji Chen, and Jiang Li is also difficult to have a bad feeling. Moreover, what Kong Liu said is not unreasonable. Seeing the darkness getting darker, the lanterns on the streets getting brighter, and the crowd coming out to watch the moon getting more and more crowded, it's really not a wise thing to shuttle through the crowd alone at present. Seeing that tong'er and Bai Xue also showed a worried look on their faces, Jiang Li made up her mind and temporarily did what Kong Liu said.
She instantly raised a smile, very warm and pure, and said, "thank you, Lord Kong."
Kong Liu was flattered and couldn't help but look at Lu Ji proudly. How about he didn't scare the little girl? Isn't he old?
Lu Ji turned his head and didn't bother to see his stupid appearance.
Just as he was talking, the unique opening voice of the troupe suddenly sounded downstairs.
JinManTang's meeting is about to begin. This is the first play of the beginning.

Jiang Jingrui, the second young master who likes little rabbit lanterns, has a girlish heart? （???? ω????）?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
August 15 of the lunar calendar is the Mid Autumn Festival.
This day was no different from usual. At most, Jiang family had a reunion dinner together. But even for this reunion dinner, it is not accurate to say "together". Because Jiang yu'e was sent to Chuang Tzu to "recuperate", Jiang yu'e had to go to Ningyuan Hou's house in the spring of next year. In fact, she was still young, but because Yang was afraid of dragging on too long, it would be bad for Jiang yu'e, so she had to let Jiang yu'e marry first.
Jiang Youyao probably finally learned that there was no room for turning around. She didn't give up. She couldn't do anything by being grounded by old lady Jiang all day, and she lost a lot in less than a month. The original charming and charming, but now it looks like the wind blows down, chuchuchu pitiful.
But in this way, Jiang Yuanbai was more distressed. During the meal, Jiang Li noticed that Jiang Yuanbai's attitude towards Ji shuran's mother and daughter was extremely gentle. It should be that he felt that Zhou Yanbang had wronged Jiang Youyao and was compensating Jiang Youyao.
Jiang Li had no other feelings when she saw the happy appearance of their family. Lu Shi couldn't see it, and deliberately blocked Ji shuran's way: "everyone is going to the Mid Autumn Festival lantern festival tonight."
"You Yao won't go," Ji shuran said. "You Yao has got the cold, and it's not good these days. If you go out, it's even more troublesome to have a hairdryer. Go ahead, and I'll accompany you at home."
Old lady Jiang has not yet solved Jiang Youyao's foot ban. Because of Jiang Youyao's temperament and feelings for Zhou Yanbang, it is inevitable to let her go out and find Zhou Yanbang. Mrs. Jiang hoped that Jiang Youyao would give up her heart. If Jiang Youyao kept pestering Zhou Yanbang, it would also make the people of the Marquis house in Ningyuan look down on the Jiang family.
Jiang Youyao didn't want to go out himself, although being grounded was also very annoying. But as long as the thought of going out, everyone should look at her with a sympathetic eye, Jiang Youyao felt extremely humiliated. Although Zhou Yanbang had nothing to do with her, she also became a joke in this affair, poor fiancee. It's better to stay in the house without seeing other people's eyes outside.
"I won't go either." Jiang Yuanbai said, "I still have Court Affairs to deal with." Now he feels wronged by Jiang Youyao and wants to compensate his little daughter. Ji shuran's mother and daughter won't go, and Jiang Yuanbai definitely doesn't have the reason to leave his wife and daughter and go alone.
Lu's eyes turned and said, "if you don't go, what about pear? You can't let pear go alone?"
Jiang Yuanping on one side coughed softly.
"It's all right," Jiang Li said with a smile, "I don't really want to go."
"Pear girl, go with your second aunt." Mrs. Jiang suddenly spoke, and she said, "you just returned to Yanjing this year, and the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival is also very good. You have worked hard these days, so have a good rest."
Old lady Jiang spoke, and Jiang Li was naturally not able to shirk anything. Although she was unwilling, she had to accept it. At this time, Jiang Yuanbai was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was the eldest daughter who had just returned to Beijing, and on the other hand, he was the wronged young daughter, with meat on the palm and back of his hand. But in the end, he decided to stay in the mansion. Jiang Li seems to be sensible and generous, but Jiang Youyao has never suffered anything. She will have a chance to compensate Jiang Li in the future.
Seeing that the eldest son was still only concerned about Ji shuran's mother and daughter, he sighed in his heart, shook his head, and went back after dinner. On the contrary, Jiang Jingrui was the happiest. After the old lady left, she kept winking at Jiang Li. After the show ended, she deliberately walked behind and said to Jiang Li, "you also said you didn't want to go. Isn't the old lady's word still worth following?"
Jiang Li was just upset and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Jiang Jingrui said to himself, "at that time, you will be an eye opener. It's said that Jin Mantang is going to sing a party tonight for food, sugar figurines, and lantern riddles along the way. I'll open your eyes at that time. Hey, don't go -"
Jiang Li left Jiang Jingrui far behind, and walked faster and faster. She couldn't hide. Thinking about the sadness of not going out tonight, it happened that old lady Jiang spoke. If she avoided it, it would be too deliberate. However, it's not bad to go out. When people outside saw her coming out to watch the Lantern Festival, Jiang Yuanbai and Ji shuran, Jiang Youyao and others were not there. They also had to give some advice in their hearts.
In front of outsiders, Jiang Yuanbai always has to worry about some points and try to level a bowl of water.
I have to take one step at a time.
Due to the words of Mrs. Jiang, after dinner, when it got dark, Jiang Li had to travel with the people in the second room.
Old lady Jiang is not here. Her legs and feet are inconvenient. She stays in the house to play with Jiang Bingji. In the big room, only Jiang Li went out alone, and the people in the second room were all together. Sanfang Yang and Jiang Yuanxing didn't come out either. Jiang yu'e except for this and other things. Now Jiang Yuanxing has to bow his head when he goes out to see his colleagues. Of course, he won't go out and lose face. Jiang Yuyan is even more unlikely to go out.
Tong'er and Bai Xue also followed Jiang Li. It was the first time for the two servant girls to go shopping, and they exclaimed from time to time. Jiang Jingrui deliberately fell behind, walked side by side with Jiang Li, and said, "Why are you not curious at all? I see that the two girls around you look happier than you."
Jiang Li's expression is very plain, which is different from that in peacetime. Jiang Jingrui finds that she can even be called indifferent. Although the corners of her lips are wearing the usual smile, even the warm light of the lantern can't illuminate her smile.
However, this picture with a little quiet beauty attracted many Playboys. Along the way, Jiang Jingrui just found that there were no less than seven or eight young masters peeping at Jiang Li.

From time to time, he pulled Jiang Li and said, "this is good-looking, or that is good-looking.". Jiang Li was quite speechless. She only felt that compared with herself, Jiang Jingrui was like a real cardamom girl, with an innocent face and gentle longing.
When he saw a rabbit like lantern, Jiang Jingrui was unable to walk. Even the people in the front two rooms didn't keep up, so they had to buy it. However, the owner of the rabbit lantern is also stubborn. He only said that the lamp would not be sold unless someone guessed the riddle above and gave it to the other party as a gift in return.
Jiang Jingrui had a headache as soon as he saw the literate, and Jiang Jingyou and them went to the front early again. He pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and said, "aren't you the first in the school exam? Come on! Guess this, help me win this rabbit lamp, and I'll give you 50 liang of silver!"
Jiang Li looked down on Jiang Jingrui's behavior and wanted to refuse, but when she heard his last sentence, she changed her mind. Fifty liang of silver is also a lot. Jiang Jingrui is worthy of being a dandy, and he is really a spender. I am willing to exchange 50 Liang silver for such a useless lantern. Unfortunately, a penny can't beat the hero. Jiang Li didn't expect that she would sell herself to learn to exchange money.
However, it's better to have money than not. You can't see how many scholars in the world are talented and penniless.
She stopped and looked carefully at the lantern that Jiang Jingrui liked very much.
People who tie lanterns also have some skills, so animal shaped lanterns are difficult to tie, but this person is lifelike. The body is wrapped in snow-white cloth, with a skeleton made of bamboo inside. A pair of long pink ears, eyes decorated with two red beans. With the lights flickering inside, the rabbit's eyes also seemed to be flexible, as if they were going to jump up in the next moment.
It's really a beautiful lantern.
Looking at the lantern riddle written on the wooden board under the lantern, Jiang Li originally looked at it with a smile, but suddenly, her smile froze and her expression changed dramatically.
I saw a small line of words on the lantern riddle, impressively writing a row of familiar lantern riddles: thousands of people are looking for him.
In an instant, Jiang Li's ear seemed to ring back the affectionate voice, he said: "this word, just like I do to you."
All the past events fell in front of her, and Jiang Li withdrew her hand like a burn.
Jiang Jingrui urged her, "what's the matter? Guess quickly!"
"I can't guess." Jiang Li said coldly.
"How is it possible?" Jiang Jingrui said, "you are the leader of Mingyi hall. This lantern riddle is not red, so it is not the most difficult to guess. How can you not guess it?"
Jiang Li said, "if you can't guess, you just can't guess. You'd better hire someone else." She turned her head and walked away, as if she hated the lamp so much that she didn't even want to look at it more.
Jiang Jingrui didn't expect it, but he couldn't give up the lamp. For a moment, he didn't catch up with Jiang Li. When he caught up, there would be no shadow of Jiang Li in the crowd. Jiang Jingrui immediately felt bad.
Jiang Li walked slowly along the crowd.
Lu Shi and others have come to the front, and Jiang Jingrui is behind. The crowd will be crowded one after another, and they will soon be scattered. They are not in the same place, and it is easy to get lost.
Jiang Li was not very afraid. She recognized the road of Yanjing city and caught a glimpse of the location of the nearest Chengshou from the corner of her eyes. If there was any problem, she could call for help to the Chengshou nearest to her at the first time.
She also didn't want to go to Lu Shi or Jiang Jingrui, but felt that this was a rare time to be alone. Since returning to Beijing, she is Jiang Li. Although she has been used to this identity, occasionally, she will remember her original name, xuefangfei.
For fear that Jiang Li's life will be too long, he will forget his original name and what he wants to do. Indulging in the comfortable life brought by this identity is not what she wants. Tonight's lantern riddle, like a bitter strong medicine, astringent heart and hair numbness, but it also makes people briefly awake.
Therefore, it's also good to be alone when you can give up the time to be a "Ginger pear".
Tong'er and Bai Xue didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking. Seeing that Jiang Jingrui and his party could no longer be seen in the crowd, tong'er said, "girl, let's go to find the second master and them? We can't see anything. What should we do if we can't find the way back to the house later?"
"Nothing." Jiang Li said, "I remember the way."
"There are too many people." Bai Xue also advised: "we didn't bring a bodyguard with us. What if something happens?"
Jiang Li looked at herself. Now Miss Jiang er's fiercest enemy was Ji shuran's mother and daughter. But Ji shuran's mother and daughter will not pick so many people and be in full view of her. Jiang Youyao didn't say it, but Ji shuran was very meticulous and wouldn't leave anyone with any handle. However, everything has an accident, and it can't be inferred from common sense. If the mother and daughter become crazy, everything is possible.
She stopped thinking about walking alone and said, "that's right."
Bai Xue and tong'er both breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Li was about to go forward to find Lu's figure, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a person not far away: "YeShiJie?"
After the Palace Banquet, Jiang Li seldom went to the Mingyi hall. What happened to Jiang yu'e affected the reputation of the Jiang family girl. Mrs. Jiang asked her to go out as little as possible when she had nothing to do on weekdays until she avoided the limelight. So Jiang Li had no chance to meet Ye Shijie again.
At the moment, in front of a small vendor who bought lanterns not far away, ye Shijie and a middle-aged man seemed to be choosing lanterns, talking, looking particularly familiar.
Jiang Li guessed that it was a person Ye Shijie knew. Thinking of inquiring about ye Shijie's recent situation, especially whether Li Lian had once again courted him, she planned to go through the crowd and walk to Ye Shijie at the other end.
But I didn't know that this scene of my action was all seen by another person.
Looking at the fairy tower, Kong Liuzheng was staring at the people coming and going downstairs. In fact, he didn't like to look at these flowers, lights, and bright eyes. However, it is better to watch the excitement than to stay in the government house and watch the boring Korean affairs. Moreover, there are many pleasing girls in this lively scene, which can add luster to the gloomy night.
But tonight, Kong Liu found a familiar shadow among the pleasant girls.
"Hey, it's Miss Jiang ER!" Kong Liu stood up and excitedly said to Ji Heng, "come and see, it's Miss Jiang er. I didn't expect that she also came out to watch the light tonight. No, why is she alone? There's no Jiang family around. It's sneaking out?"
Lu Ji, who was tasting tea, glanced down with his eyes and said, "how can anyone sneak out and take a servant girl? There are so many people outside, probably separated from his family."
"Scattered?" Kong Liu frowned, "there are so many people outside, and there are many criminals. Every year, women are kidnapped by criminals. Such a beautiful little girl is inevitable to attract people's attention. If something happens, it's bad."
"What should you do?" Lu Ji looked at him curiously.
"I'll send her to her family!" What Kong Liu said is natural.
"Kong Liu," said Lu Ji, "don't be paranoid. Don't say it's the daughter of the Shoufu family. Even ordinary girls don't look up to you at your age."
"Am I old?" Kong Liu immediately flew into a rage, "I'm the best age. What do you know? What's wrong with my age? You're just old. Your fucking beard is so long!"
Lu Ji was not angry at all. Smiling, he stretched out his hand and pointed it out to Kong Liu: "I didn't say how you can compare with the young young man. You see, Miss Jiang Er, isn't she just looking for young master ye?"
As soon as this word came out, not only Kong Liu, but also Ji Heng, who had been playing with fans, couldn't help glancing downstairs.
Sure enough, Jiang Li and the two servant girls around him were walking across the street in the crowd. Because there were too many people coming and going, the distance of one street was also very difficult. But what's rare is that she has an excellent sense of direction. She has been moving in one direction and has not been dispersed by successive streams of people.
And the purpose of her going there is no doubt that there is a handsome young man standing, ye Shijie.
She wants to go to Ye Shijie.
Lu Ji said with a smile, "this pair of cousins have excellent feelings."
"Isn't that nonsense? People are relatives." On June 1st, Kong forgot that Lu Ji laughed at his old age, and looked at Jiang Li and ye Shijie intently.
Ji Heng also stood in front of the window and looked thoughtfully. Suddenly, he closed the fan and said, "Wenji."
The bodyguard in black quietly appeared in front of him.
"Please ask Miss Jiang Er to come up."
Lu Ji and Kong Liu didn't expect Ji Chen to suddenly say such a sentence. They all looked at him together, their eyes hard to hide surprise.
"Just say I invite Miss Jiang Er to watch the JinManTang concert and arrange the front seat for her."
Kong Liu's chin almost fell off.
……
The crowd is really crowded.
Although Yanjing city is much larger than Tongxiang, there are also many more people. At the busiest time in Tongxiang, it is no more than half of Yanjing city. It's hard to imagine a narrow street on weekdays, and it's so difficult to cross today.
At last, we are going to reach the opposite side.
Just as Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to take two servant girls to Ye Shijie's end, suddenly, a man in black stopped in front of them.
Tong'er was so scared that she almost screamed, and snow white also raised her fist. The man in black seemed to be expressionless, and said word by word: "Miss Jiang Er, please see the JinManTang singing party, and you have arranged the front position in Wangxian building."
"Lord of the kingdom?" Jiang Li said, "Ji Hong?"
Wen Ji was a little surprised. Miss Jiang Er even called the adult's name without changing her face. He nodded.
Jiang Li frowned, and tong'er whispered, "girl, this man suddenly appeared. What country Lord, is it not a bluff..."
"It's not bluffing," Jiang Li answered. "He's the man of the Duke of Su."
This time, Wen Ji was even more surprised. He was sure that Jiang Li had not seen him, but why did Jiang Li say so sure. The next moment, I heard Jiang Li's faint voice: "Duke Su likes beauty and hates ugliness. This dark guard is so beautiful that it must be Duke Su's person."
Wen Jiqing stood very steady and almost slipped when he heard what Jiang Li said.
It was tong'er who looked up carefully at Wen Ji at the moment. When he saw Wen Ji's face clearly, he couldn't help taking a breath and said, "really! Girl, he's much better looking than the bodyguard in our house! He's almost as good-looking as the second young master!"
Wen Ji: "...."
Snow White pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and whispered, "that girl, are we still going?"
Jiang Li looked at Wen Ji. Wen Ji couldn't see any expression. She thought several times in her heart. Finally, she sighed and said, "go."
Tong'er was still a little afraid, but Jiang Li was helpless. She knew that even if she said she couldn't go and refused to go to Duke Su, Ji Heng would have a way to let her go. The reason why he is so polite is that he wants to be polite, but this person has dictatorial blood in his bones.
No one can refuse him, because he always has his own way.
Those who know current affairs are heroes. Jiang Li only said, "let's go."
She and tong'er Bai Xue walked to Wangxian building with Wen Ji.
Ye Shijie is talking with Ye Mingxuan while crossing the lanterns. Accidentally, he looks back and suddenly sees a familiar figure. He almost blurted out the name of Jiang Li, but before he said it, the figure was submerged with the crowd and could no longer be seen.
Ye Shijie suspected that he had read the wrong thing, and stared at him in a daze. Ye Mingxuan paid the money. In a flash, ye Shijie looked at the crowd in a daze and asked him, "what's the matter?"
"Nothing." Ye Shijie took back his eyes and shook his head, secretly saying that it was about an illusion. Even if Jiang Li comes out tonight, she won't be alone. There will always be Jiang's family to follow.
He's really freaking out.
……
Wangxian building is the largest restaurant in Yanjing city.
When Jiang Li was the wife of the Shen family, she passed this building with Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun. At that time, Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun were very envious, but she didn't care much. Compared with the Shen family, her desire has always been weak and deadly. But at that time, she knew that wangxianlou was a gold selling cave, where the upper class came.
Where I failed to step in my previous life, but I can walk in so swaggeringly in this life, it is still called "guest of honor" and "invited" in. Although this invitation is not that invitation, it is also justified in the end.
Some people had come to the hall on the first floor, but Jiang Li was invited to the second floor.
In the tea room on the second floor.
The Shoufu mansion is already very luxurious, but the Wangxian building is more exquisite than the Jiang family. The blanket on the ground alone is a Persian long wool embroidered tapestry, with gemstones on the top. The incense ginger and pear lit in the room can't smell, but it's very comfortable and fragrant. In Xue Zhao's words, it's "very expensive at first sight".
In the tea room on the second floor of Wangxian building, which is "very expensive at first sight", Wen Ji helped Jiang Li lift the curtain and walked in.
Jiang Li saw the people inside.
To her surprise, in addition to Ji Heng, there were two people inside. One was a green shirted scribe with a goatee. He smiled at Jiang Li. Jiang Li didn't know this person, but smiled back. Another person Jiang Li knew was the examiner of the "imperial shooting" school in the verification field. He got on the light truck and was called Kongwei, the captain of the light truck.
Kong Liu was very happy to see Jiang Li, and said in a rough voice, "Miss Jiang er." It seemed that he wanted to talk with Jiang Lipan for a few words, but he couldn't think of the right words after thinking about it, so he could only praise dryly: "Miss Jiang er's horse is good, and her arrow is also good!"
It was like praising the soldiers he had accepted.
Lu Ji and Ji Heng both gave him a strange look.
Kong Liu scratched his head, laughed and stopped talking.
Jiang Li just looked at Ji Heng. The young man was wearing a light red robe today. Although it was light, it made his appearance more colorful. His skin is whiter than a woman's painted powder, and his lips are ruddy than the peach blossom in April, so the whiter the white, the redder the red. His eyes are bright amber, and he doesn't touch human fireworks. Where he stands, there is a painting. Even if he lazily plays with the gold wire folding fan in his hand, it can be painted into a mystery at any time.
"What's the matter with the Duke of the country looking for me?" Jiang Li asked. She really couldn't figure out what Ji Heng wanted her to do?
Ji Heng glanced at her and suddenly laughed. He said, "at least we have some friendship. Miss Jiang Er doesn't have to be divided. Today's Mid Autumn Festival, I met fate on the road. Jin Mantang was at the wangxianlou concert. Please enjoy it together."
Jiang Li wondered, where did they still have some friendship? In terms of friendship, it was all bad karma. Ji Peng has seen her calculate abbess Jing'an's peace and Enlightenment on Qingcheng Mountain, and she has also seen her agitate Shen Ruyun and muddy the spring water of Zhou Yanbang and Jiang yu'e. And she also ran into the secrets of Ji Heng and the Li family. They knew each other's secrets. At some times, it was not too much to say that they wanted to kill each other. Ji Xuan said with a light face, as if they had been friends for many years.
It's unbelievable.
And they are not "predestined by fate on the road", it is clear that Ji Chen sent someone to come, and did not give her the second choice "please".
Jiang Li said, "thank you for your kindness, but I don't like going to the theatre."
"If the second young lady wants to sing better in the future, she might as well think about famous actors." Ji Xuan smiled at him.
Jiang Li almost couldn't laugh. Ji Chen's words seemed to remind her of the Palace Banquet again. This is really one of the things she did wrong, that is, she shouldn't be caught in the pigtail by Ji Heng, so threatening all day long!
Kong Liu looked around, puzzled by the delicate atmosphere between Ji Heng and Jiang Li, but he was kind, She said to Jiang Li, "Miss Jiang Er, I saw you upstairs just now, and there was no bodyguard or your family around me, but I was separated from my family. There are not a few women who get lost at the annual Lantern Festival, and there are many criminals. Even if there is a city guard, it is not safe. We might as well wait until we finish this meeting, and we will find someone to escort you back to your house, so that you and your family can meet. In order to avoid accidents."
Stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling face. Besides, Kong Liu looks much more sincere and simple than Ji Chen, and Jiang Li is also difficult to have a bad feeling. Moreover, what Kong Liu said is not unreasonable. Seeing the darkness getting darker, the lanterns on the streets getting brighter, and the crowd coming out to watch the moon getting more and more crowded, it's really not a wise thing to shuttle through the crowd alone at present. Seeing that tong'er and Bai Xue also showed a worried look on their faces, Jiang Li made up her mind and temporarily did what Kong Liu said.
She instantly raised a smile, very warm and pure, and said, "thank you, Lord Kong."
Kong Liu was flattered and couldn't help but look at Lu Ji proudly. How about he didn't scare the little girl? Isn't he old?
Lu Ji turned his head and didn't bother to see his stupid appearance.
Just as he was talking, the unique opening voice of the troupe suddenly sounded downstairs.
JinManTang's meeting is about to begin. This is the first play of the beginning.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Jiang Jingrui, the second young master who likes little rabbit lanterns, has a girlish heart? （???? ω????）?
August 15 of the lunar calendar is the Mid Autumn Festival.This day was no different from usual. At most, Jiang family had a reunion dinner together. But even for this reunion dinner, it is not accurate to say "together". Because Jiang yu'e was sent to Chuang Tzu to "recuperate", Jiang yu'e had to go to Ningyuan Hou's house in the spring of next year. In fact, she was still young, but because Yang was afraid of dragging on too long, it would be bad for Jiang yu'e, so she had to let Jiang yu'e marry first.Jiang Youyao probably finally learned that there was no room for turning around. She didn't give up. She couldn't do anything by being grounded by old lady Jiang all day, and she lost a lot in less than a month. The original charming and charming, but now it looks like the wind blows down, chuchuchu pitiful.But in this way, Jiang Yuanbai was more distressed. During the meal, Jiang Li noticed that Jiang Yuanbai's attitude towards Ji shuran's mother and daughter was extremely gentle. It should be that he felt that Zhou Yanbang had wronged Jiang Youyao and was compensating Jiang Youyao.Jiang Li had no other feelings when she saw the happy appearance of their family. Lu Shi couldn't see it, and deliberately blocked Ji shuran's way: "everyone is going to the Mid Autumn Festival lantern festival tonight.""You Yao won't go," Ji shuran said. "You Yao has got the cold, and it's not good these days. If you go out, it's even more troublesome to have a hairdryer. Go ahead, and I'll accompany you at home."Old lady Jiang has not yet solved Jiang Youyao's foot ban. Because of Jiang Youyao's temperament and feelings for Zhou Yanbang, it is inevitable to let her go out and find Zhou Yanbang. Mrs. Jiang hoped that Jiang Youyao would give up her heart. If Jiang Youyao kept pestering Zhou Yanbang, it would also make the people of the Marquis house in Ningyuan look down on the Jiang family.Jiang Youyao didn't want to go out himself, although being grounded was also very annoying. But as long as the thought of going out, everyone should look at her with a sympathetic eye, Jiang Youyao felt extremely humiliated. Although Zhou Yanbang had nothing to do with her, she also became a joke in this affair, poor fiancee. It's better to stay in the house without seeing other people's eyes outside."I won't go either." Jiang Yuanbai said, "I still have Court Affairs to deal with." Now he feels wronged by Jiang Youyao and wants to compensate his little daughter. Ji shuran's mother and daughter won't go, and Jiang Yuanbai definitely doesn't have the reason to leave his wife and daughter and go alone.Lu's eyes turned and said, "if you don't go, what about pear? You can't let pear go alone?"Jiang Yuanping on one side coughed softly."It's all right," Jiang Li said with a smile, "I don't really want to go.""Pear girl, go with your second aunt." Mrs. Jiang suddenly spoke, and she said, "you just returned to Yanjing this year, and the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival is also very good. You have worked hard these days, so have a good rest."Old lady Jiang spoke, and Jiang Li was naturally not able to shirk anything. Although she was unwilling, she had to accept it. At this time, Jiang Yuanbai was in a dilemma. On the one hand, he was the eldest daughter who had just returned to Beijing, and on the other hand, he was the wronged young daughter, with meat on the palm and back of his hand. But in the end, he decided to stay in the mansion. Jiang Li seems to be sensible and generous, but Jiang Youyao has never suffered anything. She will have a chance to compensate Jiang Li in the future.Seeing that the eldest son was still only concerned about Ji shuran's mother and daughter, he sighed in his heart, shook his head, and went back after dinner. On the contrary, Jiang Jingrui was the happiest. After the old lady left, she kept winking at Jiang Li. After the show ended, she deliberately walked behind and said to Jiang Li, "you also said you didn't want to go. Isn't the old lady's word still worth following?"Jiang Li was just upset and didn't bother to pay attention to him. Jiang Jingrui said to himself, "at that time, you will be an eye opener. It's said that Jin Mantang is going to sing a party tonight for food, sugar figurines, and lantern riddles along the way. I'll open your eyes at that time. Hey, don't go -"Jiang Li left Jiang Jingrui far behind, and walked faster and faster. She couldn't hide. Thinking about the sadness of not going out tonight, it happened that old lady Jiang spoke. If she avoided it, it would be too deliberate. However, it's not bad to go out. When people outside saw her coming out to watch the Lantern Festival, Jiang Yuanbai and Ji shuran, Jiang Youyao and others were not there. They also had to give some advice in their hearts.In front of outsiders, Jiang Yuanbai always has to worry about some points and try to level a bowl of water.I have to take one step at a time.Due to the words of Mrs. Jiang, after dinner, when it got dark, Jiang Li had to travel with the people in the second room.Old lady Jiang is not here. Her legs and feet are inconvenient. She stays in the house to play with Jiang Bingji. In the big room, only Jiang Li went out alone, and the people in the second room were all together. Sanfang Yang and Jiang Yuanxing didn't come out either. Jiang yu'e except for this and other things. Now Jiang Yuanxing has to bow his head when he goes out to see his colleagues. Of course, he won't go out and lose face. Jiang Yuyan is even more unlikely to go out.Tong'er and Bai Xue also followed Jiang Li. It was the first time for the two servant girls to go shopping, and they exclaimed from time to time. Jiang Jingrui deliberately fell behind, walked side by side with Jiang Li, and said, "Why are you not curious at all? I see that the two girls around you look happier than you."Jiang Li's expression is very plain, which is different from that in peacetime. Jiang Jingrui finds that she can even be called indifferent. Although the corners of her lips are wearing the usual smile, even the warm light of the lantern can't illuminate her smile.However, this picture with a little quiet beauty attracted many Playboys. Along the way, Jiang Jingrui just found that there were no less than seven or eight young masters peeping at Jiang Li.The streets and alleys of Yanjing City, restaurants and tea shops are filled with all kinds of lanterns, which are made by the people themselves. The customs of each place are similar, for example, the lanterns in Yanjing city are the same as the river lanterns in Tongxiang. Only lanterns are hung on rope rope rope mountain, while river lanterns are floating on water.There are hexagonal ones, and some are made into lampstands. There are not a few clever people. Although Jiang Jingrui is careless on weekdays, he is also very interested in these beautiful things. From time to time, he pulled Jiang Li and said, "this is good-looking, or that is good-looking.". Jiang Li was quite speechless. She only felt that compared with herself, Jiang Jingrui was like a real cardamom girl, with an innocent face and gentle longing.When he saw a rabbit like lantern, Jiang Jingrui was unable to walk. Even the people in the front two rooms didn't keep up, so they had to buy it. However, the owner of the rabbit lantern is also stubborn. He only said that the lamp would not be sold unless someone guessed the riddle above and gave it to the other party as a gift in return.Jiang Jingrui had a headache as soon as he saw the literate, and Jiang Jingyou and them went to the front early again. He pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and said, "aren't you the first in the school exam? Come on! Guess this, help me win this rabbit lamp, and I'll give you 50 liang of silver!"Jiang Li looked down on Jiang Jingrui's behavior and wanted to refuse, but when she heard his last sentence, she changed her mind. Fifty liang of silver is also a lot. Jiang Jingrui is worthy of being a dandy, and he is really a spender. I am willing to exchange 50 Liang silver for such a useless lantern. Unfortunately, a penny can't beat the hero. Jiang Li didn't expect that she would sell herself to learn to exchange money.However, it's better to have money than not. You can't see how many scholars in the world are talented and penniless.She stopped and looked carefully at the lantern that Jiang Jingrui liked very much.People who tie lanterns also have some skills, so animal shaped lanterns are difficult to tie, but this person is lifelike. The body is wrapped in snow-white cloth, with a skeleton made of bamboo inside. A pair of long pink ears, eyes decorated with two red beans. With the lights flickering inside, the rabbit's eyes also seemed to be flexible, as if they were going to jump up in the next moment.It's really a beautiful lantern.Looking at the lantern riddle written on the wooden board under the lantern, Jiang Li originally looked at it with a smile, but suddenly, her smile froze and her expression changed dramatically.I saw a small line of words on the lantern riddle, impressively writing a row of familiar lantern riddles: thousands of people are looking for him.In an instant, Jiang Li's ear seemed to ring back the affectionate voice, he said: "this word, just like I do to you."All the past events fell in front of her, and Jiang Li withdrew her hand like a burn.Jiang Jingrui urged her, "what's the matter? Guess quickly!""I can't guess." Jiang Li said coldly."How is it possible?" Jiang Jingrui said, "you are the leader of Mingyi hall. This lantern riddle is not red, so it is not the most difficult to guess. How can you not guess it?"Jiang Li said, "if you can't guess, you just can't guess. You'd better hire someone else." She turned her head and walked away, as if she hated the lamp so much that she didn't even want to look at it more.Jiang Jingrui didn't expect it, but he couldn't give up the lamp. For a moment, he didn't catch up with Jiang Li. When he caught up, there would be no shadow of Jiang Li in the crowd. Jiang Jingrui immediately felt bad.Jiang Li walked slowly along the crowd.Lu Shi and others have come to the front, and Jiang Jingrui is behind. The crowd will be crowded one after another, and they will soon be scattered. They are not in the same place, and it is easy to get lost.Jiang Li was not very afraid. She recognized the road of Yanjing city and caught a glimpse of the location of the nearest Chengshou from the corner of her eyes. If there was any problem, she could call for help to the Chengshou nearest to her at the first time.She also didn't want to go to Lu Shi or Jiang Jingrui, but felt that this was a rare time to be alone. Since returning to Beijing, she is Jiang Li. Although she has been used to this identity, occasionally, she will remember her original name, xuefangfei.For fear that Jiang Li's life will be too long, he will forget his original name and what he wants to do. Indulging in the comfortable life brought by this identity is not what she wants. Tonight's lantern riddle, like a bitter strong medicine, astringent heart and hair numbness, but it also makes people briefly awake.Therefore, it's also good to be alone when you can give up the time to be a "Ginger pear".Tong'er and Bai Xue didn't know what Jiang Li was thinking. Seeing that Jiang Jingrui and his party could no longer be seen in the crowd, tong'er said, "girl, let's go to find the second master and them? We can't see anything. What should we do if we can't find the way back to the house later?""Nothing." Jiang Li said, "I remember the way.""There are too many people." Bai Xue also advised: "we didn't bring a bodyguard with us. What if something happens?"Jiang Li looked at herself. Now Miss Jiang er's fiercest enemy was Ji shuran's mother and daughter. But Ji shuran's mother and daughter will not pick so many people and be in full view of her. Jiang Youyao didn't say it, but Ji shuran was very meticulous and wouldn't leave anyone with any handle. However, everything has an accident, and it can't be inferred from common sense. If the mother and daughter become crazy, everything is possible.She stopped thinking about walking alone and said, "that's right."Bai Xue and tong'er both breathed a sigh of relief. Jiang Li was about to go forward to find Lu's figure, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a person not far away: "YeShiJie?"After the Palace Banquet, Jiang Li seldom went to the Mingyi hall.

Kong Liu stood up and excitedly said to Ji Heng, "come and see, it's Miss Jiang er. I didn't expect that she also came out to watch the light tonight. No, why is she alone? There's no Jiang family around. It's sneaking out?"Lu Ji, who was tasting tea, glanced down with his eyes and said, "how can anyone sneak out and take a servant girl? There are so many people outside, probably separated from his family.""Scattered?" Kong Liu frowned, "there are so many people outside, and there are many criminals. Every year, women are kidnapped by criminals. Such a beautiful little girl is inevitable to attract people's attention. If something happens, it's bad.""What should you do?" Lu Ji looked at him curiously."I'll send her to her family!" What Kong Liu said is natural."Kong Liu," said Lu Ji, "don't be paranoid. Don't say it's the daughter of the Shoufu family. Even ordinary girls don't look up to you at your age.""Am I old?" Kong Liu immediately flew into a rage, "I'm the best age. What do you know? What's wrong with my age? You're just old. Your fucking beard is so long!"Lu Ji was not angry at all. Smiling, he stretched out his hand and pointed it out to Kong Liu: "I didn't say how you can compare with the young young man. You see, Miss Jiang Er, isn't she just looking for young master ye?"As soon as this word came out, not only Kong Liu, but also Ji Heng, who had been playing with fans, couldn't help glancing downstairs.Sure enough, Jiang Li and the two servant girls around him were walking across the street in the crowd. Because there were too many people coming and going, the distance of one street was also very difficult. But what's rare is that she has an excellent sense of direction. She has been moving in one direction and has not been dispersed by successive streams of people.And the purpose of her going there is no doubt that there is a handsome young man standing, ye Shijie.She wants to go to Ye Shijie.Lu Ji said with a smile, "this pair of cousins have excellent feelings.""Isn't that nonsense? People are relatives." On June 1st, Kong forgot that Lu Ji laughed at his old age, and looked at Jiang Li and ye Shijie intently.Ji Heng also stood in front of the window and looked thoughtfully. Suddenly, he closed the fan and said, "Wenji."The bodyguard in black quietly appeared in front of him."Please ask Miss Jiang Er to come up."Lu Ji and Kong Liu didn't expect Ji Chen to suddenly say such a sentence. They all looked at him together, their eyes hard to hide surprise."Just say I invite Miss Jiang Er to watch the JinManTang concert and arrange the front seat for her."Kong Liu's chin almost fell off.The crowd is really crowded.Although Yanjing city is much larger than Tongxiang, there are also many more people. At the busiest time in Tongxiang, it is no more than half of Yanjing city. It's hard to imagine a narrow street on weekdays, and it's so difficult to cross today.At last, we are going to reach the opposite side.Just as Jiang Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to take two servant girls to Ye Shijie's end, suddenly, a man in black stopped in front of them.Tong'er was so scared that she almost screamed, and snow white also raised her fist. The man in black seemed to be expressionless, and said word by word: "Miss Jiang Er, please see the JinManTang singing party, and you have arranged the front position in Wangxian building.""Lord of the kingdom?" Jiang Li said, "Ji Hong?"Wen Ji was a little surprised. Miss Jiang Er even called the adult's name without changing her face. He nodded.Jiang Li frowned, and tong'er whispered, "girl, this man suddenly appeared. What country Lord, is it not a bluff...""It's not bluffing," Jiang Li answered. "He's the man of the Duke of Su."This time, Wen Ji was even more surprised. He was sure that Jiang Li had not seen him, but why did Jiang Li say so sure. The next moment, I heard Jiang Li's faint voice: "Duke Su likes beauty and hates ugliness. This dark guard is so beautiful that it must be Duke Su's person."Wen Jiqing stood very steady and almost slipped when he heard what Jiang Li said.It was tong'er who looked up carefully at Wen Ji at the moment. When he saw Wen Ji's face clearly, he couldn't help taking a breath and said, "really! Girl, he's much better looking than the bodyguard in our house! He's almost as good-looking as the second young master!"Wen Ji: "...."Snow White pulled Jiang Li's sleeve and whispered, "that girl, are we still going?"Jiang Li looked at Wen Ji. Wen Ji couldn't see any expression. She thought several times in her heart. Finally, she sighed and said, "go."Tong'er was still a little afraid, but Jiang Li was helpless. She knew that even if she said she couldn't go and refused to go to Duke Su, Ji Heng would have a way to let her go. The reason why he is so polite is that he wants to be polite, but this person has dictatorial blood in his bones.No one can refuse him, because he always has his own way.Those who know current affairs are heroes. Jiang Li only said, "let's go."She and tong'er Bai Xue walked to Wangxian building with Wen Ji.Ye Shijie is talking with Ye Mingxuan while crossing the lanterns. Accidentally, he looks back and suddenly sees a familiar figure. He almost blurted out the name of Jiang Li, but before he said it, the figure was submerged with the crowd and could no longer be seen.Ye Shijie suspected that he had read the wrong thing, and stared at him in a daze. Ye Mingxuan paid the money. In a flash, ye Shijie looked at the crowd in a daze and asked him, "what's the matter?""Nothing." Ye Shijie took back his eyes and shook his head, secretly saying that it was about an illusion. Even if Jiang Li comes out tonight, she won't be alone. There will always be Jiang's family to follow.He's really freaking out.Wangxian building is the largest restaurant in Yanjing city.When Jiang Li was the wife of the Shen family, she passed this building with Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun. At that time, Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun were very envious, but she didn't care much. Compared with the Shen family, her desire has always been weak and deadly. But at that time, she knew that wangxianlou was a gold selling cave, where the upper class came.Where I failed to step in my previous life, but I can walk in so swaggeringly in this life, it is still called "guest of honor" and "invited" in. Although this invitation is not that invitation, it is also justified in the end.Some people had come to the hall on the first floor, but Jiang Li was invited to the second floor.In the tea room on the second floor.The Shoufu mansion is already very luxurious, but the Wangxian building is more exquisite than the Jiang family. The blanket on the ground alone is a Persian long wool embroidered tapestry, with gemstones on the top. The incense ginger and pear lit in the room can't smell, but it's very comfortable and fragrant. In Xue Zhao's words, it's "very expensive at first sight".In the tea room on the second floor of Wangxian building, which is "very expensive at first sight", Wen Ji helped Jiang Li lift the curtain and walked in.Jiang Li saw the people inside.To her surprise, in addition to Ji Heng, there were two people inside. One was a green shirted scribe with a goatee. He smiled at Jiang Li. Jiang Li didn't know this person, but smiled back. Another person Jiang Li knew was the examiner of the "imperial shooting" school in the verification field. He got on the light truck and was called Kongwei, the captain of the light truck.Kong Liu was very happy to see Jiang Li, and said in a rough voice, "Miss Jiang er." It seemed that he wanted to talk with Jiang Lipan for a few words, but he couldn't think of the right words after thinking about it, so he could only praise dryly: "Miss Jiang er's horse is good, and her arrow is also good!"It was like praising the soldiers he had accepted.Lu Ji and Ji Heng both gave him a strange look.Kong Liu scratched his head, laughed and stopped talking.Jiang Li just looked at Ji Heng. The young man was wearing a light red robe today. Although it was light, it made his appearance more colorful. His skin is whiter than a woman's painted powder, and his lips are ruddy than the peach blossom in April, so the whiter the white, the redder the red. His eyes are bright amber, and he doesn't touch human fireworks. Where he stands, there is a painting. Even if he lazily plays with the gold wire folding fan in his hand, it can be painted into a mystery at any time."What's the matter with the Duke of the country looking for me?" Jiang Li asked. She really couldn't figure out what Ji Heng wanted her to do?Ji Heng glanced at her and suddenly laughed. He said, "at least we have some friendship. Miss Jiang Er doesn't have to be divided. Today's Mid Autumn Festival, I met fate on the road. Jin Mantang was at the wangxianlou concert. Please enjoy it together."Jiang Li wondered, where did they still have some friendship? In terms of friendship, it was all bad karma. Ji Peng has seen her calculate abbess Jing'an's peace and Enlightenment on Qingcheng Mountain, and she has also seen her agitate Shen Ruyun and muddy the spring water of Zhou Yanbang and Jiang yu'e. And she also ran into the secrets of Ji Heng and the Li family. They knew each other's secrets. At some times, it was not too much to say that they wanted to kill each other. Ji Xuan said with a light face, as if they had been friends for many years.It's unbelievable.And they are not "predestined by fate on the road", it is clear that Ji Chen sent someone to come, and did not give her the second choice "please".Jiang Li said, "thank you for your kindness, but I don't like going to the theatre.""If the second young lady wants to sing better in the future, she might as well think about famous actors." Ji Xuan smiled at him.Jiang Li almost couldn't laugh. Ji Chen's words seemed to remind her of the Palace Banquet again. This is really one of the things she did wrong, that is, she shouldn't be caught in the pigtail by Ji Heng, so threatening all day long!Kong Liu looked around, puzzled by the delicate atmosphere between Ji Heng and Jiang Li, but he was kind, She said to Jiang Li, "Miss Jiang Er, I saw you upstairs just now, and there was no bodyguard or your family around me, but I was separated from my family. There are not a few women who get lost at the annual Lantern Festival, and there are many criminals. Even if there is a city guard, it is not safe. We might as well wait until we finish this meeting, and we will find someone to escort you back to your house, so that you and your family can meet. In order to avoid accidents."Stretch out his hand and don't hit the smiling face. Besides, Kong Liu looks much more sincere and simple than Ji Chen, and Jiang Li is also difficult to have a bad feeling. Moreover, what Kong Liu said is not unreasonable. Seeing the darkness getting darker, the lanterns on the streets getting brighter, and the crowd coming out to watch the moon getting more and more crowded, it's really not a wise thing to shuttle through the crowd alone at present. Seeing that tong'er and Bai Xue also showed a worried look on their faces, Jiang Li made up her mind and temporarily did what Kong Liu said.She instantly raised a smile, very warm and pure, and said, "thank you, Lord Kong."Kong Liu was flattered and couldn't help but look at Lu Ji proudly. How about he didn't scare the little girl? Isn't he old?Lu Ji turned his head and didn't bother to see his stupid appearance.Just as he was talking, the unique opening voice of the troupe suddenly sounded downstairs.JinManTang's meeting is about to begin. This is the first play of the beginning.Jiang Jingrui, the second young master who likes little rabbit lanterns, has a girlish heart? ???? ?????
