Chapter 187 Do you want to go back?
Seeing Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi coming over, Wang Chen walked over first and bowed, saying, "You are here."
"Why are you still here?" Jiang Xue asked Wang Chen.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came over to help Doctor Liu dry these medicinal herbs that have been piled up for a long time."
"Oh." Jiang Xue nodded, and then asked Pu Sheng: "What about you?"
Pu Sheng looked up and said embarrassedly: "Doctor Liu took pity on me and gave me a living."
Jiang Xue didn't say anything, but sat in the pavilion in the yard with Lin Yiyi to discuss their next plans.
It was not until it got dark that Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi left Wanhe Hall together and walked towards Baoyue Tower.
The streets are even more lively at night, with bright lights and lanterns on both sides of the streets. Almost everyone on the street holds a lantern in their hands.
There are all kinds of shapes.
Jiang Xue looked at the smiles of everyone on the street, cheerful, bright, and the innocent smiles of the children. The streets and the riverside were also full of people. There were many river lanterns floating on the river. Looking around, it looked like a sky full of stars.
"Is today an important day?" Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi stopped in front of a shop selling lanterns.
The boss said happily, "We had a strange disease in Beijing a few days ago. Now that we have recovered, we must pray for good luck and a smooth year ahead. Would you like to pick a lantern?"
It has a good omen, so of course the two of them have to pick one to get good luck.
Jiang Xue looked at Lin Yiyi and asked, "Which one do you like?"
Lin Yiyi looked at the lanterns in front of her. There were lotus lanterns, rabbit lanterns, and lotus leaf lanterns. There were many styles of lanterns, and they were so lifelike that it was difficult to choose. In the end, Lin Yiyi chose a lotus leaf lantern and Jiang Xue took the lotus lantern.
The two continued to walk forward with lanterns in their hands. It seemed even more lively ahead. Not far in front of them, people were gathering, and from time to time, deafening sounds of gongs and drums could be heard.
"Mom." A little girl pointed ahead with sparkling eyes and shouted happily, "It's a dragon!"
The mother beside her gently pinched the little girl's fair face and said softly, "Mom will take you to see it."
The little girl immediately jumped up with joy and ran forward.
Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi smiled at each other, and suddenly a bright light flashed in the dark night sky, and then there was a bang, and fireworks bloomed in the sky. The two looked over together, laughing like two little kids with great joy.
Lin Yiyi looked at the gorgeous fireworks with a smile in her eyes. She suddenly remembered the last flower festival in Anren County, and then lowered her head.
Jiang Xue saw Lin Yiyi suddenly lower her head, and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, let's go eat." Lin Yiyi smiled, looked up and pulled Jiang Xue to continue walking forward.
Suddenly, she seemed to see Wang Ziyan out of the corner of her eye. Lin Yiyi stopped and looked carefully. There was a woman following Wang Ziyan.
Jiang Xue also saw Wang Ziyan and frowned, "Why is there a woman with him?"
Lin Yiyi was also very puzzled. Looking at the woman's attire, she didn't look like an ordinary girl. She wore a golden hairpin on her head and a brocade dress. Although she had her back to them, she could tell that she had fair skin and must be a very beautiful woman.
When Jiang Xue went forward to take a closer look, Lin Yiyi stopped her and said, "Forget it. He and I have nothing to do with each other anymore. Let's go eat quickly. I've been wanting to have some wine from Baoyue Tower for a long time."
As he said that, he forcibly dragged Jiang Xue to Baoyue Tower.
Baoyue Building was also crowded at this time. When the two of them arrived, the downstairs and upstairs were already full, and the waiter was also very busy.
Jiang Xue looked at the already packed place, then looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "How about...we go somewhere else?"
Lin Yiyi nodded and said, "I agree."
Then the two turned around and were about to leave, but unexpectedly they ran into Han Qingqing and Pei Zhijin.
Pei Zhijin was obviously stunned for a moment. Han Qingqing was still wearing plain clothes and a simple white hairpin on her head.
Han Qingqing smiled and bowed slightly, saying, "I haven't seen you two since we parted in Anren County. How are you two these days?"
Jiang Xue didn't say anything, and her expression was obviously wrong. Lin Yiyi replied from the side: "We two are very good friends. Are you guys... coming together for dinner?" The last half of the sentence was said while looking at Pei Zhijin.
Pei Zhijin opened his lips slightly, but Han Qingqing spoke first: "Yes, Brother Pei saw that I stayed in the house all day, and heard that people on the street were praying for blessings today, and there were lanterns, so he took me out to see them."
"Oh." Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Then you guys enjoy your shopping." After that, she pulled Lin Yiyi away.
Pei Zhijin watched Jiang Xue leave mercilessly, then turned around and quickly grabbed Jiang Xue, "I..."
"Lord Pei, there is no need to explain. We have nothing to do with each other." After saying this, Jiang Xue shook off Pei Zhijin and strode away.
When Pei Zhijin was about to catch up, Han Qingqing grabbed Pei Zhijin's sleeve and said, "Brother Pei, have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Pei Zhijin was stunned, and the image of Brother Gu falling in front of him flashed through his mind. He frowned slightly, turned around and looked at Han Qingqing and said, "You know how I feel about Jiang Xue, why do you say this in front of her?"
Han Qingqing's originally pitiful eyes became deep at this moment. She looked at Pei Zhijin and said, "Brother Pei, you promised him to take good care of me. How could you like someone else?"
Pei Zhijin looked at Han Qingqing and felt that the gentle and generous Han Qingqing from before was no longer there. He then pushed Han Qingqing away and said, "That's unreasonable!" Then he chased in the direction Jiang Xue had just left.
Han Qingqing shouted from behind: "Pei Zhijin, if you leave, I will die at the gate of Baoyue Tower."
Pei Zhijin stopped and turned to look at Han Qingqing, only to see that Han Qingqing had taken out a dagger and placed it on her neck.
Pei Zhijin's eyes turned cold. Threatening him?
Then he turned around and left with cold eyes without saying a word.
"Pei Zhijin!" Han Qingqing shouted from behind, but Pei Zhijin's footsteps were so fast that he was buried in the crowd in an instant.
Han Qingqing stamped her feet in anger, then threw the dagger to the ground angrily, her eyes becoming vicious, "Why! Why!"
Jiang Xue and Lin Yiyi sat by the river. The night wind blew past them, and they shook their shoulders at the same time. Jiang Xue looked at Lin Yiyi and said, "It's cold, let's go back."
Lin Yiyi shook her head. She could still bear this little bit of cold.
Lin Yiyi moved closer to Jiang Xue, then leaned in close and said, "Xue'er, it seems like we're both unlucky today."
Jiang Xue smiled bitterly and lowered her head and said, "It seems a little bit."
Time seemed to stand still, and the noisy sounds around them seemed to have nothing to do with the two of them.
Lin Yiyi suddenly asked, "Xue'er, do you want to go back?"
