Song Er and Jiang Qingyuan reached out to block him from the front and back.
Receiving that impolite look, Lin Yan'an immediately felt dissatisfied. Staring at the arm blocking his way, he waved his folding fan and said irritably, "Brother, Song Er, what are you doing? I'm just worried about Sister Jiang. It's Mid-Autumn Festival and none of the Lu family members are here. It's really hateful."
I feel sorry for Sister Jiang, don't I, Miss Liu'er?
He knows to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with his family, but this guy surnamed Lu is something else; he even abandoned his fiancée. It's truly hateful.
Unlike him, who came specifically to deliver holiday gifts.
Liu'er and Jiang Qingyuan only glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Song Er snorted coldly and said irritably, "Come on, the young master has something to do."
Now that the young master is away, he naturally has to keep an eye on this person to prevent the other party from taking advantage of the situation.
Jiang Yimian got goosebumps from Lin Yan'an calling her "Jiang Meimei" and quickly said, "Stop it, I don't need your pity."
If you say a few more words of sympathy, she might not be able to resist taking action.
I don't know where this guy learned such disgusting methods.
It's probably because her younger sister, Lin Zhaozhao, isn't around that she's trying so hard to disgust her.
When Zhaozhao arrives in the capital, she will definitely file a complaint.
Lin Yan'an was somewhat displeased. He snapped his folding fan shut and said irritably, "You really have no conscience. It's been so long since we last met, and your mouth has become even more venomous."
It really is because I've been spending too much time with that guy surnamed Lu.
As soon as the group came out of the princess's mansion, they saw someone riding a horse galloping towards them from the end of the street.
Stepping on the silvery ground, riding a tall horse, they stopped in front of the princess's mansion.
The red lanterns under the eaves swayed slightly, illuminating the crowd in front of the door and the young man on horseback.
The young man was dressed in a neat purple brocade robe. He should have been traveling a long way, but he didn't look tired at all. He had a relaxed expression and bright eyes. He sat upright on his horse, which made people unable to look away.
Lu Cijian simply dismounted nimbly, smiled at the people in the crowd, and said, "Mianmian, I'm back."
Jiang Yimian met that intense gaze and felt her heart race. Her initial anxiety finally subsided.
It's only been a few days, but it feels like an eternity.
Seeing this, Wang Fengqin smiled and said, "You've come at the perfect time. Let's all go see the lanterns. The capital is bustling with activity today."
As he spoke, he and Jiang Dazhuang each led one of the little ones ahead of them.
Song Er and Liu Er grabbed Lin Yan'an, who was about to speak, and quickly ran away.
Jiang Qingyuan glanced at the two of them and silently followed.
For a moment, only Jiang Yimian and her companion were left behind.
Jiang Yimian shook her head helplessly and stared at the person in front of her, saying, "You came back alone. Where are Wang San and the others?"
Although the young man's face was still handsome and showed no signs of fatigue, she could still see a faint trace of weariness in his eyes.
I imagine they must have been traveling day and night to get back today.
Lu Cijian handed the horse to the gatekeeper before saying, "I'm back now. They'll probably arrive tomorrow."
The weapons workshop matter wasn't too difficult to handle; the main problem was getting information from the person in the know. Since the other party wouldn't budge, they could only wait it out.
Therefore, he simply brought the person back.
However, since the Censorate had a large number of members, he would definitely miss the Mid-Autumn Festival if he returned with the main force, so he rode back alone first.
Fortunately, there were no more assassination attempts on the way back, so we made it in time.
Jiang Yimian said helplessly, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you very tired? Why don't you go back and rest?"
Lu Cijian just smiled, reached out and held her small hand tightly before saying, "I want to watch the lanterns with Mianmian."
This is their first Mid-Autumn Festival, so naturally they want to be together.
Jiang Yimian was taken aback, then said with a smile, "We can celebrate together again next year. You don't need to feel burdened. To me, these holidays are no different from any other day."
She had never celebrated these holidays before, and it seemed that there was no such thing as a holiday in the organization.
Whenever they receive a task, they need to act immediately.
Now, with her family by her side, she feels happy every day, as if it's a holiday. For her, holidays are really no different.
Lu Cijian stared intently at the person beside him and said, "Next year's is next year's, I want to spend every year with you."
Jiang Yimian was taken aback. When she met those clear, dark eyes, she felt a warmth in her heart.
Lu Cijian simply held her hand tightly and walked forward.
Although the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing is not the most lively of all the festivals, it is certainly the most unique.
Each of the several markets and neighborhoods is different, seemingly blending the differences between the north and south of the Great Jin Dynasty.
The most bustling of them all was Dongfang Market.
Dongfang City is home to many famous restaurants, teahouses, brothels, and taverns in the capital. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people gather there to drink, write poetry, and admire the moon and osmanthus blossoms.
Many opera stages also feature plays related to the Mid-Autumn Festival.
But the most lively and interesting place is definitely the West Market on Changyue Street.
All sorts of interesting things are there.
When Jiang Yimian and her companion arrived at Changyue Street, Wang Fengqin and the others had already disappeared. Fortunately, they were accompanied by guards, so they were not worried.
Changyue Street was particularly lively today, quite different from other streets, with bright red lanterns hanging in front of the restaurants and teahouses on both sides.
The entire street is adorned with all sorts of lanterns and colorful ropes, which look as dazzling as stars from afar, making it extremely beautiful.
This made the stars in the sky appear much dimmer, but fortunately, the full moon easily attracted everyone's attention.
There are also vendors selling all kinds of food on both sides of the street, and the aroma is irresistible. Mixed with the shouts of vendors and laughter, it is full of life.
Not far away, there were still many painted boats sailing on the river, with melodious music coming from them, and occasionally the sweet singing voices of the singers inside could be heard.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian strolled around casually, and before long Lu Cijian was carrying quite a few things.
If it weren't for her extraordinary demeanor, she would look no different from her personal servant.
Jiang Yimian chuckled and looked at the person beside her, saying with a smile, "Lord Lu, don't you think you look a lot like my personal servant right now?"
Lu Cijian glanced at the large and small bags in his hands, smiled slightly, and whispered in her ear, "I am quite content to be Princess Ning'an's servant."
Jiang Yimian could only smile helplessly, her gaze falling on the Caiyun Tower not far away.
There was a large crowd gathered in front of Caiyun Tower, making it very lively. Lin Yan'an and Liu'er were among them.
She simply pulled Lu Cijian over and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Upon seeing the two, Liu'er smiled and said, "Miss, Lord Lu, you've finally arrived."
This is a riddle-solving game where you can win a lantern. The person who guesses the most riddles correctly wins the brightest and most beautiful peacock lantern.
It was her first time seeing lanterns, and she was so engrossed that she accidentally got separated from Wang Fengqin and the others.
When she turned around, only Lin Yan'an was beside her.
Jiang Yimian glanced at the largest peacock lantern hanging at the top of Caiyun Tower, and was somewhat astonished.
