Jiang Muyu stuffed the candied haws into his hand and said, "Eat it."

Liang Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then saw that she had taken another string of candied haws and was eating them, and continued walking forward with the children.

His eyes darkened and he threw the candied haws in his hand to Xu Lang.

Tangtang ate two candied haws, but found that Nanxing didn't move the candied haws in her hand at all, so she asked, "Sister Nanxing, why don't you eat it?"

Nan Xing pursed her lips and said, "I don't like it. I'll give it all to you."

As she spoke, she was about to hand the candied haws to Tangtang.

Tangtang smiled and was about to take it, but was intercepted by a hand that reached out. She turned around and puffed up her face in dissatisfaction, "Brother!"

Liang Jinghe was holding two strings of candied haws in his hand. He had already eaten one string, and the other string was just handed to him by Nanxing.

"Even if you like it, don't eat too much. It will upset your stomach."

Tangtang said unhappily, "But why can my brother eat two skewers?"

Liang Jinghe said: "I'm not going to eat two skewers, I'm just keeping them for you temporarily."

She gritted her teeth, but ultimately she couldn't persuade her brother, so she had to continue eating the string of snacks in her hand.

A few people strolled around the market for a while, and when dusk fell, they went to the river to release river lanterns.

There was only one river running through the capital city, and the bank was crowded with people setting off river lanterns. Each of them held a lotus-shaped river lantern, and they found a relatively sparsely populated bank and walked down.

You can write your wishes on the lamp.

Jiang Muyu picked up the river lantern and started writing without thinking.

Liang Qingchen saw that she didn't think at all and it seemed that her wish was very clear, so he leaned over to take a look, and saw four big words on it: Get rich overnight.

"Uh..." He couldn't help but click his tongue: "Vulgar."

Jiang Muyu glanced at him and said, "You are not vulgar, you are noble. If you have no money, you will have to be Zhao Gao."

"Huh?" Liang Qingchen was puzzled: "Who is Zhao Gao?"

"He is a famous minister throughout the ages."

"Is he poor?"

"Emmm...we were indeed quite poor in the beginning." Jiang Muyu didn't know how to explain this for a moment, so he avoided the topic, squatted down, and put the river lantern down.

Here, Liang Jinghe thought about it, but didn't know what to write. He turned to look at Nanxing beside him. She had already put out the river lantern without writing a single word on it.

"Don't you write a wish?"

Nan Xing said without raising his head: "I have no wish."

"Why? How can a person not have something he wants to achieve?"

"There's not enough space in a river lantern to write about what I want to achieve."

He was about to say something, but Tangtang suddenly interrupted and said, "Brother, can you help me make my wish come true?"

Tangtang was not very good at writing, so Liang Jinghe put his river lantern aside and took hers. "What do you want to write?"

Tangtang thought for a moment and said, "I want lots of candied haws, toys, pretty clothes and jewelry, and... a handsome little brother."

Liang Jinghe held his forehead helplessly and said, "Tangtang, I can't write so many things. You can only choose one."

"Ah?" Tangtang said with a worried look on her face, "Then...then I'll have to choose my little brother."

"No!" Liang Jinghe and Liang Qingchen said at the same time.

"Uh... why?"

The two of them said in unison: "It just won't work, change another one!"

Tangtang doesn’t understand why Daddy and Brother suddenly become so in sync?

Jiang Muyu watched from the side and couldn't help but smile. The father and son had the same expression, both were equally cold and serious, they really were cut from the same mold.

Tangtang scratched his forehead in confusion and said hesitantly, "Then... I'll just have the Tanghulu that I can't finish."

Liang Qingchen said: "It's not good to eat too much candied haws, change another one."

This doesn’t work, and that doesn’t work. Tangtang says making a wish is really difficult!

"Then just write whatever you want, brother." She pouted her lips and hummed from her throat as her final protest.

Liang Jinghe started writing and wrote four words on it: peace and joy.

Jiang Muyu was afraid that Tangtang would fall into the river if she got too close to it, so he didn't let her get close and gave the river lantern to the father and son to set off.

Several lotus-shaped lanterns gradually moved away from the shore.

All I saw on Liang Jinghe’s river lantern was the words: Smooth.

On Liang Qingchen's river lantern it says: Not to be blamed.

Watching hundreds of river lanterns floating on the water, illuminating the river surface, countless small characters are reflected in the bright and dim lights, and each stroke represents the fireworks of the world.

The river lanterns drifted away, and the group started to leave.

A breeze blew not far away, and the lotus-shaped river lanterns were crowded together, rising and falling with the waves of the river. Suddenly, a wave surged and extinguished several lanterns.

On one of the cups, there were four elegant small characters written on it: Peace and Joy.

…

After walking for a while, they were tired and found a nearby restaurant to rest.

Liang Qingchen booked two private rooms, one for themselves and one for the accompanying guards and maids, and then ordered two large tables of food.

I got out early today and haven't had dinner yet, so I'll take advantage of the holiday to give the people below me a snack.

Jiang Muyu had no appetite. He felt full after eating half a bowl and found an excuse to go out for some fresh air.

As soon as I walked out of the door, Yun Xuan also came out.

The master and servant exchanged glances and went downstairs together.

When they were alone, Yun Xuan whispered, "Madam, I just asked around. Sun Chou is currently in a private room on the second floor of Ruyifang next door. The sign outside the door reads Fengyue Lanting."

"clear."

Jiang Muyu was about to turn around and leave, but Yun Xuan held her back and asked worriedly, "You really don't want me to accompany you?"

"No need. It's easier to be exposed when there are too many people."

"Then you must be careful, madam. Don't act rashly. If you can't do it, safety comes first."

"I value my life more than anyone else. Don't worry, just help me take good care of the children."

"yes."

Then, Jiang Muyu left the restaurant.

She had received news earlier that Sun Chou would be attending a social event at Ruyifang today.

Sun Chou had two major hobbies: music and beautiful women, which were also the key points for her to conquer this man.

Jiang Muyu arrived at Ruyifang. As soon as she entered the door, a beautiful woman holding a round fan came to greet her and asked with a smile, "Madam, do you want to listen to singing or music?"

The people of Tianqian have an open-minded character and women can also come to music halls to spend money. Although not many of them come, they are used to it.

Jiang Muyu took out a silver coin and put it in her hand, then lowered his voice and said, "Please introduce me to Bai Mudan. Tell her that my last name is Jiang."

The woman got the advantage and her face became more friendly. "Madam, please wait a moment. I will be back soon."

"Um."

Jiang Muyu found an empty seat in a corner and sat down. This music hall was not quite the place she had imagined for pleasure.

She originally thought that music halls were similar to brothels. They should be bustling and noisy, with men and women drinking together. The women were lightly dressed and behaved in a wild and unrestrained manner, using shrill and seductive voices to greet passers-by and solicit customers.

However, I didn't expect that the environment here is elegant, with carved beams and painted buildings, carpets on the floor, and neatly arranged tables and chairs in the lobby, each separated by a bead curtain. The guests talked but did not make any noise. In the middle was a large stage, where several elegant and beautiful women were performing, some playing the piano, the flute, the pipa... and even the chimes, just like an ancient band.

It was a good place for entertainment, but she had no interest in listening to music at the moment.

After waiting for a long time, the woman who delivered the message finally came back. She walked to Jiang Muyu, holding the round fan in her soft and boneless hands, and put it to her lips, smiling, "Madam, please follow me."

Jiang Muyu followed her through the lobby and to the back of the music hall. Unexpectedly, there was a medium-sized courtyard with a fish pond and rockery.

The woman walked in front, passed through a long corridor, pushed open a door, stood beside it, and said, "Madam, please come in."

"Thank you." She nodded and walked in.

It's a completely different scene inside, completely different from the decoration in the lobby.

The interior of the house is simple and quaint. Apart from tables and chairs, there is only a painting hanging on the wall for decoration. The inner room is separated by a thick gauze curtain, and the scene inside cannot be seen.

"Sir, please take a seat." Suddenly, a charming and magnetic female voice came from inside.

Then, a delicate hand lifted the veil, and a graceful woman walked out from inside.

Her temples are decorated with pearls, her eyes are like stars, and her face is like the bright moon. Although she has a slightly seductive look, she is not coquettish. She has an enchanting grace, and the natural mole between her eyebrows is as proud as a solitary plum blossom in the cold winter.

This is the external boss of Ruyifang - Bai Mudan.
