Lian Jialiang muttered aggrievedly.
"But Dad, I haven't been out for a long time..."
After all, Lian Jialiang was the son he had loved since childhood. He could only watch as Lian Jiaying talked and laughed with his two sisters.
Lian Fangyu said softly: "There are many people outside tonight, please take care of your younger brothers and sisters."
Lian Jialiang said ecstatically: "Thank you, dad!"
After all, he is still a child.
Lian Fangyu looked back at Qin.
"Jia Liang's marriage should also be put on the agenda. First start a family and then start a career. Only after you get married can you truly grow up..."
As the mistress of the family, Qin's duty was to find a wife for her concubine.
"Husband, why don't you ask Ms. Zhang's opinion? She was not satisfied with anything I chose for Jialiang in the past."
That's why Lian Jialiang's marriage was delayed.
Even Fang Yu remembered the old things from the past. The man started proposing marriage after he was fifteen years old. Two years ago, Mrs. Qin also made arrangements to propose marriage to Lian Jialiang, but Mrs. Zhang made it impossible to proceed.
Even Fang Yu listens to the Qin family when money is needed in the house, but in fact, the Qin family can't make the decision in anything, especially Lian Jialiang's marriage.
Qin's attitude was cold, and Lian Fangyu said awkwardly: "Send me the list of people you selected later."
He made the decision directly to avoid Mr. Zhang being dissatisfied again.
Qin responded.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. After dinner, even Fang Yu had no intention of leaving. Mrs. Qin took the account books from the shop and sat on the couch to read them. The couple had nothing to say.
"I'm going to the study."
Lian Fangyu couldn't bear it anymore.
Qin stood up.
"I'll send it to you."
There is no retention at all.
Lian Fangyu wanted to say something else, but when he saw Qin's lowered eyebrows, he felt something stuck in his heart.
Forget it, there’s nothing more to say. When did the couple become like this?
Even Fang Yu didn't know, but he just felt that there was more and more nothing to say between the two.
There is the Aoshan Lantern Festival tonight, and everyone in the capital has dinner earlier than usual. When we go out after dinner, the sky is hazy and not completely dark yet.
Lian Jiaying and the other sisters got on the carriage, but when they were about to get on, Lian Jialiang squeezed them out.
"Dad asked me to take good care of my two sisters!"
He stood on a high place and proudly said to Lian Jiaying.
Even Jiaying didn't dare to argue with him on anything and gave way to let him get in the car first.
Lian Suisui opened the car curtain from inside.
"You really have to let your eldest brother sit in the carriage. If you meet someone from the Qi family, you should pull him down and beat him up if you see him?"
Lian Jialiang said unhappily: "How can someone poke my lungs during the Chinese New Year! Third sister, are you my biological sister?"
Lian Suisui kicked him and protected Lian Xiaoxiao, who was huddled behind him, in his arms.
"You have caused misfortune to my fourth sister, and yet you dare to get into the carriage? Go outside!"
"I'm your big brother!"
Lian Suisui sighed.
"How can the eldest brother do such a thing like selling his sister to pay off his own debt? The fourth sister will be scared to tears by you, why don't you get out of here!"
Lian Suisui blocked the door and refused to let him in, while Lian Jialiang stood outside the car blocking Lian Jiaying's path.
There is no way to continue like this.
Lian Jiaying stepped back.
"Brother, why don't you come down first, and I'll ask a servant to hitch a carriage. We can sit separately so that the two girls' homes can be more spacious."
Lian Jialiang said dissatisfied: "If you are late, you won't be able to squeeze in front!"
He said this, but Lian Suisui couldn't resist it and got out of the carriage.
It was obvious that no one welcomed him, but he was not discouraged.
"Second brother, you can sit with me later, and the two of us will clear the way in front!"
Lian Jiaying didn't dare to refuse and agreed.
The servants quickly hitched up the second carriage. Lian Suisui opened the curtain and pursed his lips towards Lian Jialiang.
With this kind of virtue, is he worthy of being the eldest son?
In other words, Mrs. Zhang was willing to crawl into bed and let him be born a few months early!
He bore the title of eldest son in vain.
Lian Xiao pulled her sleeve slightly.
"I'm sorry because I made Third Sister feel bad."
When she saw Lian Jialiang, she remembered what happened that day and trembled with fear. She really didn't mean it.
Lian Suisui held her hand.
"It's not you who makes me feel bad, it's that bastard Lian Jialiang... Don't take the blame of others on yourself. How many times have I said this to you? If you can't remember it, go back and write this sentence on your back. Come down!"
She was joking, but Lian Xiaoxiao actually seriously agreed.
"You silly girl! Don't think about anything tonight, let's just watch the lights happily!"
The imperial court was preparing for the Aoshan Lantern Festival, and merchants on the street also followed suit, hanging out their own custom-made lanterns, and the lanterns and decorations were very lively.
When we reached the downtown area, the carriage could not move any further.
They abandoned their carriages and walked instead.
"Third sister, what is that?"
Lian Xiaoxiao timidly pointed to the small vendor on the roadside. Lian Suisui pulled her over and found that it was a bracelet woven with colorful ropes. There were several bells hanging on the chain. If it moved slightly, there would be a clear ringing sound.
“This rainbow goldfish bracelet is beautiful!”
Lian Suisui picked one and tied it around Lian Xiao's wrist, and asked the vendor, "How much does this bracelet cost?"
"Thirty cents!"
It’s just a bracelet woven with colorful ropes, but it costs thirty cents!
Lian Xiao thought it was too expensive and wanted to take it off.
Lian Suisui asked Xiao Tao to pay the money, and she also picked up one, "I want this one, a total of sixty coins, Xiao Tao, give me the money!"
The bracelet she chose was woven in the shape of a longevity peach, and the bell on the tail also looked like a longevity peach, which was very delicate.
"Come on, let's go over there and have a look!"
The stall next to it was selling masks. The green-faced and fanged mask looked scary, so Lian Suisui took one off and put it on his face.
"Third sister, it's so scary!"
"You come too!"
Putting the mask on Lian Xiao's face, the little girl found it very funny.
Among the four siblings, the richest one was Lian Suisui. Lian Jiaying only watched from the side, while Lian Jialiang looked at Liansui Sui's money bag with jealousy.
"Third sister, why don't we find a teahouse and sit down? There are more and more people on the street now. Don't scatter us!"
They had just arrived, so naturally they didn't want to go to the teahouse.
Lian Jiaying said thoughtfully: "If brother is tired, go to the teahouse to rest first. I will protect the two sisters."
In the past, at home, he could only watch Lian Suisui and Lian Jialiang have a good relationship. It was rare that now the two sisters were willing to play with him, and he was very happy.
Lian Jialiang pursed his lips and didn't mention anything about the teahouse. He didn't go far and stayed with them.
"Ouch!"
Two green-faced and fanged evil spirits appeared in front of Lian Jiaying, which startled him.
Lian Suisui and Lian Xiaoxiao took off their masks and smiled at him. Lian Jiaying stroked her chest and said cooperatively, "You scared me to death!"
Lian Xiaoxiao was a little embarrassed, so Lian Suisui gave him a new mask.
"Exactly four masks, one for each of us!"
Lian Suisui glanced at the absent-minded Lian Jialiang, gave him the mask, and winked at the other two people.
"There's still my share..."
Lian Jialiang took the mask and put it on his head happily.
"How about it, am I handsome?"
With the mask on, his sight range was limited. Lian Jialiang turned around and did not see Lian Jiaying or the others. When he took off the mask, the street was bustling with people. Where could he see the three of them!
Lian Suisui held Lian Xiaoxiao with one hand and Lian Jiaying with the other, and walked through the crowd into the alley, then merged into the street from the other side.
Looking back, Lian Jialiang has long been out of sight.
"Phew, finally got rid of him!"
Lian Xiaoxiao felt her heart beating in her throat, it was so exciting!
"Third sister, wouldn't it be good for us to do this?"
