Lian Suisui asked back: "Do you want to go to the lantern festival with him?"
Lian Xiao shook his head honestly.
"Will big brother blame us?"
Even Jiaying is worried.
Lian Suisui said innocently: "There were too many people at the lantern festival. We accidentally got separated. It's normal."
"Besides, dad asked him to take good care of us, but he didn't take good care of us himself. After returning home, if he complained to dad, the three of us would say the same thing, saying that he walked too fast, and we shouted that he didn't stop. , and then he got separated, and we were still looking for him on the street for a long time!"
It depends on whether Lian Fangyu believes in Lian Jialiang alone or the three of them.
As long as the three of them insist that Lian Jialiang ignored them, Lian Jialiang will be punished.
"Can this be done?"
This is the first time Lian Jiaying has lied, and she gets excited just thinking about it!
Looking at Lian Jiaying and Lian Xiaoxiao who were looking forward and backward, Lian Suisui sighed. Lian Fangyu really didn't know how to raise children, both of them were so timid.
"Let's go to the lantern festival boldly tonight. Don't worry, daddy won't punish us as long as I'm here!"
There are vendors selling snacks on the street. In the past, the family did not allow them to eat outside and did not give them much spare money. Today, Lian Suisui treated a guest and ate from one end of the street to the other. Lian Jiaying held her belly and held a hand. Holding up two skewers of oily meat.
"Third sister, I really can't eat anymore!"
Lian Xiaoxiao still had half a bunch left on a candied haws.
"Third sister, I am too..."
Lian Suisui was more restrained and saw that there happened to be a teahouse next to him.
"Let's go up and have a rest first."
Tonight, the private room in the teahouse had been booked for a long time. The three brothers and sisters found a table at the corner of the second floor and sat down. From this position, they could just see the lanterns outside and the crowds of people passing by on the street.
Lian Xiao's cheeks were red, and his excitement was palpable.
"Third sister, I'm so happy today!"
"Just look at the burning lanterns like the day, and the shadowless sea of Aoshan Mountain... The music and dance in the world are incomparable, and a song reaches the clouds. Look how beautiful this scene is, this scene will always exist in the human world."
Lian Jiaying read a poem, and Lian Suisui and Lian Xiao collectively supported him.
"Okay! Second brother is really talented!"
The original owner had never read a few books, and even Xiaoxiao didn't know much about poetry and poetry. The two of them couldn't tell whether it was good or not, so they just cheered him up.
Lian Jiaying said embarrassedly: "I borrowed a few lines, not all of them were written by me..."
"It's good that my second brother can remember to borrow other people's poems. We haven't remembered yet!"
Even Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement with what Suisui said.
"Second brother, you are very good. When spring comes in February, you will definitely earn some fame for your family!"
Lian Jiaying studied and wrote articles every day to prepare for the imperial examination. He himself had no confidence. Encouraged by his two sisters, he suddenly felt that he could do it.
"Thank you two sisters!"
The Aoshan Lantern Festival and the teahouse are inherently arty places. Many scholars who came to Beijing to take the exam gathered here and wrote down their poems and hung them on the wall. In case anyone goes to high school in the future, the teahouse will also be a good place. It has a collection of the top picks and the second top picks. Poetry can attract more guests to come...
The waiter in the teahouse was clever. When he heard Lian Jiaying reciting a poem, he immediately got a pen and paper and asked him to write it down and hang it on the wall of the lobby on the first floor for display.
"I'm so embarrassed."
Lian Jiaying scratched her head.
"What a poem!"
There were compliments from the lobby, making even Jiaying more confident.
On this holiday, even the wind outside doesn’t feel cold anymore.
Lian Suisui was lying on the window looking at the crowds of people downstairs, when he suddenly saw an acquaintance.
Isn't that the prince?
Under the teahouse, a handsome man was leaning against a young woman in veil. The man picked a silver hairpin from a stall and inserted it into the woman's head. The woman smiled shyly at him.
These two people were Wang Jingkang, who had an oral engagement with Chen Wanli, and his childhood sweetheart cousin Chu Liniang.
Didn’t you say that they would be sent out of the capital? Why is Chu Liniang still in Beijing?
Why did Wang Jingkang take his cousin out shopping during the Chinese New Year? Where is Sister Chen?
"Second brother and fourth sister, you guys wait here, I'll be back as soon as I go."
During this period of time, she has been paying attention to the situation in Yongding House. She has not heard that Chen Wanli's marriage to the prince of Qin Ding House has become an affair. That is, Wang Jingkang hides the beauty in the golden house. On the surface, he told the Chen family to send his cousin out of the capital, but secretly hid her. Be around.
As Chen Wanli's good sister, now that she has bumped into her, can she bear it?
She doesn't need to worry about it, just expose their true colors! Hesitating for a second longer is disrespectful to Sister Chen!
"A silver hairpin costs ten taels of silver?" Chu Liniang hurriedly took off the hairpin, "Cousin, I don't want it anymore. It doesn't take much material to make this hairpin, but it's so expensive! I don't want it anymore!"
Although Wang Wenkang was the eldest son, his stepmother controlled the family's financial power in the back house of Qin Dinghou Mansion. His monthly amount of silver was limited, and excluding daily entertainment, he could not save much money to buy a silver hairpin. Still need to consider.
"No, I haven't purchased any decent jewelry for you all year round. You just have to make do with it, and I'll give you a gold headband later."
Chu Liniang's eyes were filled with eyes.
"My cousin treats me so well!"
Wang Jingkang paid, and his money bag suddenly felt empty.
But it's worth spending some money to make my cousin happy.
Wang Jingkang heard a taunt.
"Is Qin Dinghou's house so poor that he has to think about it for a long time just to buy a silver hairpin?"
The Marquis of Qin Ding is a long-established dignitary in the capital. If anyone knew that he was so poor, he would definitely be laughed at. Wang Jingkang chose to buy jewelry for Chu Liniang at a stall just to avoid acquaintances.
Unexpectedly, he met Lian Suisui.
He wanted to refute, but when he looked up and saw Lian Suisui, his expression was momentarily panicked, and he looked behind her.
"Why does Prince Wang feel guilty? Looking for my sister?"
Wang Jingkang only thought that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen her. Except for the last time he met with Chen Wanli, he always felt that she seemed familiar.
"Young lady, I have misunderstood. Yongding's family is very strict. I'm afraid I won't go out today."
Lian Suisui mocked: "My cousin's tutoring is naturally strict. Unlike the one next to the prince, she doesn't even comb her hair like a woman. It's so late, why are you entangled with your foreign husband? I don't know. I thought you two were a couple!"
Chu Liniang awkwardly withdrew her hand from Wang Jingkang's arm.
Wang Jingkang didn't like her wording very much.
"The girl shows mercy."
Chu Liniang was blushing and hiding behind Wang Jingkang in embarrassment and awkwardness, making Wang Jingkang unconsciously want to stand up for her.
Lian Suisui mocked: "I heard with my own ears that day that the Crown Prince said that he wanted to send this cousin outside the city before getting married. Why, do you dare to do it and don't dare to let people say it? If the Crown Prince really cares about the cousin, Reputation, why not just give her a title?”
The first wife was busy carrying her concubines before she even entered the house. I'm afraid that the second wife of Qin Dinghou was eager to publicize it for him.
Who dares to marry a girl to such a family?
If he never marries a wife, he will be ridiculed by others all his life. Qin Dinghou will be even more disappointed in him, and the title of his family will no longer belong to him.
Being speechless by Lian Suisui, Wang Jingkang explained dryly: "I had already sent my cousin out of the city, but my cousin got sick some time ago, and it was the Chinese New Year, so she was spending the New Year alone outside. I Don’t worry, I just brought him back now and will send him away after the New Year..."
Lian Suisui interrupted him neatly.
"Well, then after three or two days, my cousin will have a headache again. She will bring her back and toss her back and forth. Don't you think it's troublesome? My sister can't join in the tossing?"
"If Prince Wang doesn't really want to marry my sister, don't worry about my sister. It's not like my sister can't get married, so she has to get into your family!"
Lian Suisui was telling the truth. With the strength and status of the Yongding House, there were many candidates to choose from, whether it was a high marriage or a low marriage. If he hadn't taken the initiative to fight for it, the Chen family might not have taken a fancy to him.
