Chapter 510: No Point

"It would be bad if I lost my life again because of this!"

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he was scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's New Year's Day, don't say depressing words!"

"That's right. I'm an old man who can't do much work and can't make much money, but I can't stand seeing others making money."

"Look at his clothes, which are patched up with patches. He is obviously a poor fellow. Why would you waste your words on such a poor fellow?"

"Go, go, go, don't get in the way..."

The old man was not angry when he was driven away. He just laughed and continued walking forward with his hands behind his back.

This person always thinks that pie will fall from the sky, and thinks that the pie will always fall on his head. He never knows that there is no such thing as pie falling from the sky. Even if there is, he is afraid that he can't grab it from a dog...

The old man shook his head repeatedly and walked with a staggering gait.

The crowd did not take this little matter seriously and just went on to inquire about ways to earn money by carrying food.

Here, Su Yujin and He Yanxiu strolled through the streets and alleys here, bought two large bamboo baskets full of food, and walked excitedly towards the carriage.

Xing'an, who was waiting by the carriage, almost dropped his eyes when he saw He Yanxiu coming back with a shoulder pole.

Second Master's dress...

Forget it, shut up and don’t ask about things that you shouldn’t ask about!

So that you won’t end up having to beg for food yourself.

It's meaningless! Xing'an said nothing, and moved all the things onto the car with the other servants, and then sent them back to the Su family's house as Su Yujin had instructed.

Qin Peiyou and Su Yunruo, who went to choose gifts for the fifth princess, also arrived at this time.

The four of them went to Juweizhai first and had a delicious lunch.

In the evening, they went to the Su family's house and enjoyed a table of delicious food.

When they came out of the Su family residence under the starry sky, He Yanxiu and Qin Peiyou were both very satisfied. They even touched their bulging bellies at the same time.

Comfortable!

The two of them stretched at the same time.

Such a perfectly synchronized movement made the two look at each other, and then glanced at each other tacitly before turning their heads away.

"Prince..."

"cousin……"

They opened their mouths at the same time again.

After the two of them stared at each other for a moment, Qin Peiyou chuckled and said, "Cousin, we are indeed brothers. Our movements are exactly the same!"

Who wants to be like you! He Yanxiu rolled his eyes and said after a while, "It's getting late, Your Highness, please go back to the palace as soon as possible."

"It's late at night and the frost is heavy. Cousin, you should go back and rest early." Qin Peiyou continued to smile and turned to get on his carriage.

The carriage slowly drove away. He Yanxiu curled his lips and then got on the carriage and headed towards the He family.

After Qin Peiyou returned to the palace, a young eunuch came to tell him that the emperor wanted him to come over.

His father called him over so late? Qin Peiyou did not dare to delay, and hurried to Chongyang Palace without even changing his clothes.

Qin Yishu was drinking a bowl of lotus seed and bird's nest soup in the side hall of Chongyang Palace at this time. Seeing Qin Peiyou coming over, he raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, sit down."

"Thank you, father." Qin Peiyou sat opposite Qin Yishu.

"The Xianglian bird's nest freshly cooked in the kitchen tastes great. Would you like a bowl too?" Qin Yishu said.

"Father, you are so kind. I shouldn't have refused. But I just came out from Princess Ping'an and had dinner..."

Perhaps to verify what he said, Qin Peiyou couldn't help but burped loudly.

Qin Peiyou was immediately embarrassed, "I am such a rude son..."

"It's an instinctive reaction, what's wrong with that?" Qin Yishu waved his hand disapprovingly and just lowered his head to continue drinking the bird's nest cup beside him.

When the bird's nest in the bowl was empty, Qin Yishu put down the spoon.

Minghai took the bowl away and replaced it with tea.

Qin Yishu rinsed his mouth before looking at Qin Peiyou. After a while, he said, "You'er, what kind of person can massacre the entire Qin family?"

"Father, are you thinking about this again?" Qin Peiyou frowned slightly.

"Yes." Qin Yishu nodded. "Although it is very likely that he deliberately said these words to make me feel uncomfortable before his death, I still feel that there is something wrong with them."

"The King of Yue has been planning for so many years. He is very cunning. If he says he has no backup plan..."

No one would believe it.

"If Your Majesty feels that something is wrong, I will investigate it carefully again." Qin Peiyou said.

"Yes." Qin Yishu nodded, "Go ahead."

"Yes." Qin Peiyou bowed, "I will take my leave."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After seeing Qin Peiyou off, Minghai came over holding a lamp and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. You should rest."

"Yeah." Qin Yishu lay down on the bed after washing up.

Minghai blew out the last lamp in the hall, leaving only two lamps outside, and personally stood guard in the outer room.

The night deepens and the stars shine brightly.

As time goes by, the morning light gradually grows, and the sun rises higher...

After this cycle repeated several times, the new year arrived.

Ancestor worship, hanging lanterns, visiting relatives and friends, lighting fireworks and setting off firecrackers, there is a strong New Year atmosphere everywhere, and joy and happiness are everywhere.

With the company of her family, Su Yujin had the happiest New Year since she came into this world.

At the same time, because of the bumper harvest last year, people also felt that this year's New Year was easy and enjoyable.

In a blink of an eye, it is the Lantern Festival.

Admire the moon, watch lanterns, guess lantern riddles, eat Yuanxiao...

Starting from the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, the streets of Beijing at night are crowded with people like a tide.

Su Yujin and He Yanxiu made an appointment to go out and take a walk on the street together.

The two had originally planned to walk side by side after dusk under the moon, and enjoy the good times. But when they got to the street, they found that the street was full of people like dumplings and tides. Looking around, they were all just following the crowd...

Apparently everyone had the same idea.

Su Yujin sighed and could only pull He Yanxiu away from the crowded main street and into a relatively quiet alley.

Although the alley is not as lively as the main street, red lanterns are hung at the doors of every household, and under the moonlight, there is a unique sense of tranquility.

The two of them didn't say much, just walked slowly like this until they were tired, or even hungry, then they went to the stall at the entrance of the alley and ordered a bowl of food.

The stall sells Yuanxiao, which comes with two kinds of fillings, eight-treasure filling and red bean filling.

The purpose of eating at a small stall is to taste the authentic local flavor. The two of them simply ordered a bowl each, and asked for a portion of rice cake at the stall next door.

"Gentlemen, let me make it clear to you first. The price of our rice dumplings has increased to fifteen cents a bowl..." After hesitating for a long time, the stall owner finally told the truth.

In the past, the two of them would occasionally eat at small stalls, and they knew that Yuanxiao was only eight cents a bowl.

"Is it because of the Lantern Festival?" Su Yujin asked with a smile.

During the seasons, the prices of some specific foods will go up slightly. Su Yujin is a businessman himself, so he can understand this.
