Green bricks and green tiles, flowers bloom by the path, their fragrance staining clothes; vermilion gates and purple halls, delicate hands pluck stars, making neon into garments.

Chapter 60: Angry
Lin Hao's words immediately attracted a lot of attention to Qin Wenyuan.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Qin Wenyuan's face, and before he could react, he gasped.
Lin Hao covered her mouth, her eyes wide open: "Are you all good friends of Prince Pingjia?"
As soon as these words were spoken, several young men standing next to Qin Wenyuan instantly moved aside. Their movements were so fast that it was hard to believe that they were a group of scholars.
"Second Miss Lin!" Qin Wenyuan spoke each word clearly, wishing he could eat the girl in front of him alive.
A faint sobbing sound suddenly sounded, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Chen Yi's face turned pale, tears streaming down her face. "So that's how it is. I said Young Master Qin and I had no connection, so why did I provoke his hostility? It turns out that Young Master Qin and the Marquis of Pingjia are good friends."
The girl's voice was filled with fear, and she emphasized the word "good friend" especially.
Qin Wenyuan was so angry that he fell backwards and subconsciously clenched his fists.
He had never met such thick-skinned and treacherous women, and there were two of them!
Seeing that Qin Wenyuan was about to attack, Zhu Jiayu stepped forward and blocked Chen Yi's way. Holding back her fear, she asked loudly, "Master Qin, are you going to fight us again just to pacify the Marquis of Jia?"
Qin Wenyuan's hands trembled with anger.
Three!
"Mr. Qin, my friend is innocent. Even if the engagement is cancelled, it was the decision of the elders on both sides. How can you vent your anger on someone who has already been hurt just for the sake of the Prince of Pingjia?" Tao Qing's voice was not as loud as Zhu Jiayu's, and her soft voice carried a hint of persuasion.
Qin Wenyuan felt like vomiting blood.
Four!
"Second Miss Lin, is this Young Master Qin causing trouble for you in order to pacify the Marquis of Jia?"
"Why is he like this?"
"Not surprising, he has a good relationship with Prince Pingjia."
"Prince Pingjiahou——"
In front of the mountain of lights not far away, a group of young girls were talking at the same time, and it was hard to tell who was talking.
group!
Qin Wenyuan's body swayed and he almost fell down.
"Brother Qin, let's go." Someone pulled Qin Wenyuan.
The two sides were just on the verge of a tense situation, but in the blink of an eye, only the top scholar Yang Zhe was left on Qin Wenyuan's side.
Chen Yi and the other two breathed a sigh of relief, and then they felt scared.
Lin Hao walked up to Yang Zhe and bowed generously: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for asking for help just now."
Yang Zhe smiled gently and said, "I don't deserve Miss Lin's thanks. I was just speaking the truth."
"Honesty is a valuable quality. Thank you, Mr. Yang."
Perhaps it was the lights everywhere, Yang Zhe's eyes seemed gentle and affectionate: "I should go now."
He paused and lowered his voice: "Miss Lin, please be careful."
Lin Hao nodded.
Yang Zhe smiled slightly, turned around and walked into the crowd.
The group of girls who had just spoken came over, and the one leading them was actually the young princess Qi Qiong.
"I was wondering why you couldn't come out. It turns out you were playing with Miss Chen and the others." Qi Qiong said with a smile.
Before Chinese Valentine's Day, Lin Hao did receive two invitations, one from Chen Yi and one from the little princess.
"Chen Yi asked me to go first, otherwise I would have gone with the princess." Lin Hao explained with a smile and thanked her solemnly, "Thank you, princess and everyone for your righteous words just now."
"What are you thanking me for? I was surprised that there was someone who stood up for the Prince of Pingjia." Qi Qiong waved his hand.
Once a person has a good impression of another person, he or she will like the other person more and more.
That's Qi Qiong.
Because Lin Hao saved her cousin Sun Xiuhua, she was grateful in her heart. Seeing Lin Hao's behavior of protecting his friend today, she admired him even more.
"Would you like to go shopping together?" Qi Qiong invited Lin Hao and the other three.
In fact, Chen Yi had long lost interest in viewing the lanterns, but when she saw Lin Hao's inquiring look, she nodded.
She couldn't always escape and drag her friends along.
Chen Yi didn't refuse, so naturally the others had no objection, so the two groups joined together and went to visit the lanterns.
"My eldest brother and second brother are here too. I wonder if I can meet them later." The voice of the little princess Qi Qiong was gradually blown away by the wind.
The lights are bright, the crowds of people are bustling, and the night of Qixi Festival is filled with sweet warmth.
Next to the lantern tree, two young men stood side by side, their eyebrows and eyes somewhat similar.
"Brother, you just met my little sister, why don't you come over?" The boy who spoke was a little younger, with a pair of sparkling eyes that seemed to be smiling even when he wasn't smiling, and he could attract glances casually.
The young man is Qi Huan, the second son of Prince Jing’s Mansion, and next to him is his elder brother Qi Shuo.
Qi Shuo raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this: "If you go over there, are you planning to go to the lantern festival with a group of girls?"
"No." Qi Huan waved his hands quickly.
There is nothing wrong with visiting lantern festivals with a group of girls, but it is a bit wrong if there is a younger sister among them.
"I didn't expect that Miss Lin Er is so interesting." Qi Huan looked at the direction where Lin Hao left and smiled lightly.
He suddenly felt the wind was a little chilly and looked up: "Is the weather going to change?"
"Maybe." Qi Shuo said lightly.
Qi Huan twitched his lips helplessly: "Brother, this is the Qixi Lantern Festival, can you not be so serious?"
Big brother is not usually this serious.
"Second brother."
"Um?"
"I also think Miss Lin Er is interesting." After Qi Shuo finished speaking, he patted Qi Huan on the shoulder and strode forward.
Qi Huan was left stunned for a long time.
Big brother... do you think Miss Lin Er is interesting?
interesting?
Big brother is interested in Miss Lin Er!
Qi Huan suddenly had an epiphany and discovered the truth.
Now, he no longer had the mood to wander around, so he ran away.
He wants to find Miss Lin Er, oh no, he wants to find his younger sister!
The second son of the Qi family was burning with gossip, while Qin Wenyuan was furious.
"Brother Qin, are you okay?" The person who pulled Qin Wenyuan away let go of his hand and looked at Qin Wenyuan's face.
The lights flickered, and Qin Wenyuan's ashen face looked terrifying. He practically squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "It's okay."
"Let's continue to visit the lanterns." The friend paused and couldn't help but persuade, "Brother Qin, there's no need to bother with a few little girls."
Besides this person, there was another person left with Qin Wenyuan, who also advised: "Yes, the little girl is crying and acting like a spoiled child, so just laugh it off. But it would be bad if people would make up stories about us."
"Just groundless accusations?" Qin Wenyuan's face grew worse.
The two looked at each other and said nothing more.
With Brother Qin's intelligence, he would not have failed to think of those things.
Qin Wenyuan was furious, but he remained reasonable on the surface. "I know. I'm really sorry for ruining everyone's fun today. You guys go shopping. I'm going back first."
After parting with his friend, Qin Wenyuan walked through the crowd, stopped at a place with dim lights, and called out "Qingyan" with an expressionless face.
"My lord, please give your orders."
"Did you see those idle guys?" Qin Wenyuan raised his chin in a certain direction.
Qing Yan took a look and subconsciously lowered his voice: "I saw it."
"Give them five taels of silver each and ask them to chat with Miss Lin Er and Miss Chen Da."
Qing Yan was surprised: "Master, this... is this okay?"
