Qingtian grabbed the quilt with both hands and covered his mouth and nose with it, leaving only a pair of big, rolling eyes exposed.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Qin Hexuan asked curiously.

"Brother Qin is also secretly reading storybooks?" Qingtian immediately covered his mouth with his hand after saying this, and said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, I will definitely not tell anyone."

Qin Hexuan was really at a loss for words. He rolled up the book in his hand, tapped her head lightly and said, "What are you thinking? If I wanted to read it, I would have done it openly. How could you do it secretly?"

Qingtian said with a look of disbelief, "My eldest brother said that the teachers in their private school don't allow us to read storybooks. Some people brought storybooks there before, but they were all confiscated by the teachers."

"Can Mr. Wei be the same as those gentlemen?" Qin Hexuan asked, "Don't be skeptical, this storybook was bought by Mr. Wei for me to read!"

"So that's how it is!" When Qingtian heard that it was Mr. Wei who asked him to read it, his attitude immediately changed. He reached out and patted Qin Hexuan's arm and said, "Then you should read it carefully! Mr. Wei will test you on the content later."

"Don't worry, Mr. Wei hasn't punished me for a long time." Qin Hexuan studies hard on weekdays. Although he is not very old, he can often write articles with his own insights on many topics related to people's livelihood assigned by Mr. Wei.

Although many of his ideas are still immature, they are rare considering his age and experience.

Wei Yan was very satisfied with this unexpected disciple, and intended to guide him to have more contact with people's lives to increase his experience.

He believed that in time, Qin Hexuan's achievements would definitely surpass Qin Songyin's.

This storybook was not bought casually from a street stall, but was carefully selected by Wei Yan and brought back specifically for Qin Hexuan to read.

On the one hand, it can help you kill time, and on the other hand, it can help you understand the lives of ordinary people. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Qingtian didn’t know there was so much to say, but as she listened to Qin Hexuan’s calm and low voice, her eyelids soon began to get heavier and heavier, and finally she couldn’t resist and fell asleep.

Qin Hexuan heard Qingtian's breathing gradually calm down. He turned his head and saw that she had indeed fallen asleep. He then put away the storybook, covered her with a quilt, and got up and walked to the table beside the bed to start practicing calligraphy.

This was the homework Wei Yan assigned him to do every day.

Qin Hexuan usually finishes it early.

But today, because it was going to be sunny, he couldn't concentrate all morning and wasted several sheets of paper. In the end, he just put them aside.

Now that I'm taking a nap on a sunny day, I can catch up on this homework.

Qingtian had only slept for half an hour when Qin Hexuan woke her up. It’s not good to take a nap too long.

Seeing that she had just rolled around on the bed and her hair was all messed up, she asked the maid to help her comb her hair again.

The maid was very skillful and made some changes to the original double bun. She braided a few very thin pigtails, made a shape on her head, and fixed it with pearls. It immediately looked more complicated and better-looking than before.

Although it was still dark outside, Qin Hexuan was worried that Qingtian would get bored staying in her room, so he asked her, "Let's go out for dinner tonight. After dinner, it will be dark so we can go out and play, okay?"

"Okay!" Qingtian nodded repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, the servants hurried in to help the two people change their clothes.

On sunny days, you only need to put on cotton clothes and trousers, then put on your coat and skirt, and tie a cloak.

Qin Hexuan stopped the maid from changing his clothes and ordered directly, "Bring me that dark blue cloak."

"Young Master, it's cold outside at night..." The maid wanted to dissuade him, but was immediately silenced after being glanced at by Qin Hexuan. She didn't dare to say anything more and quickly took out the cloak Qin Hexuan wanted and helped him tie it on.

Qin Hexuan took Qingtian out to find a restaurant for dinner.

The window of the private room faces the direction of the Lantern Festival.

As the two of them were eating, the sky outside gradually darkened.

But at some point, the sky, which had been darkening, suddenly became brighter, even brighter than before, and it felt as bright as daylight.

Qingtian immediately opened the window and looked outside out of curiosity.

Qin Hexuan immediately stretched out his hand to block it and said, "Don't stick your head out, be careful of the wind.

"Put on your hat, I'll take you out to see it."

At this time, the sun had completely set and even the afterglow could no longer be seen. However, the colorful lanterns in the lantern market were being lit one after another. Standing on the corridor on the second floor of the restaurant and watching the lanterns outside light up one after another, the scene was quite spectacular on a sunny day.

Merchants in Beijing have put in a lot of effort to prepare for the Lantern Festival, and the styles of lanterns are different every year.

There are not only lanterns shaped like various animals, legendary monsters or flowers, but also more advanced ones like revolving lanterns. There are even some super large lanterns that are made in the shape of pavilions and towers, and are equipped with various mechanisms. They are so exquisite and fun.

Qin Hexuan took Qingtian into the largest store at the intersection, intending to buy Qingtian a lantern to play with.

"Is there anything you like? If you like it, pick one. If not, let's move on."

When the waiter saw the two people's attire, he thought they must be the son and daughter of some wealthy family. He quickly approached them with a big smile and said, "Sir, our shop has the largest and most complete selection of lanterns on the entire street. If you don't like anything here, you will definitely not like the ones below."

Qin Hexuan was not interested in these things, but seeing Qingtian's amazed expression, he patiently accompanied her around the store.
