Since the New Year is approaching, the important task of preparing New Year’s goods is inevitable.
"Let's go buy couplets first. There are plenty of delicious food in the mansion, so there is no need to prepare anything special." Li Sisi said happily.
Li Nian suggested, "We should buy some fresh ingredients. I'll personally cook a few dishes with good meanings on New Year's Eve."
Nangong Jin asked curiously, "Are you planning to do it yourself? This kind of thing can be left to the servants."
Seeing that her mind had finally been diverted, Li Sisi smiled even more broadly: "It's more meaningful to do this kind of thing that happens once a year yourself."
Nangong Jin still had an expression of confusion. After all, as a young lady of the Nangong family, she would definitely not go out of her way to do such trivial things.
Li Sisi continued to ask her: "By the way, is there anything you particularly want? I'll buy it for you later."
Nangong Jin thought for a moment and said, "I don't have anything I want, but as long as it's given by Sister Sisi, I like it."
Li Sisi smiled and said, "Okay, we'll see when we go shopping later."
As they were talking, the carriage had already stopped on the busy street.
The streets were crowded with people. Not only were the shops on this street packed with customers, but there were also many people gathered in front of the stalls along the street.
Li Sisi asked, "Should we go to the shop to buy the couplets, or buy them at the stall?"
She saw many stalls along the street displaying New Year pictures and couplets, and several stall owners even wrote couplets on the spot.
Li Nian: "It's all fine."
Nangong Jin: "I've never bought anything like this, so I don't know the difference."
"Then let's take a look first!" Li Sisi has already taken a fancy to a stall, the owner of which is writing couplets seriously.
But he seemed to write very slowly and it took him a long time to finish writing a couplet.
However, the customers at his stall did not rush him, and no one complained.
Li Nian and Nangong Jin followed Li Sisi to the stall.
Li Sisi walked closer and saw the stall owner's work and finally understood why it took him so long to write a couplet.
Because he would draw below the end of the couplet.
Li Sisi asked curiously, "Boss, what's that picture?"
The stall owner didn't even look up, but other customers nearby smiled and explained, "You can tell she's from out of town, right? This is the mountain deity of our southern Xinjiang people!"
Li Sisi looked at the older sister who was eager to help her with her questions in surprise: "Can we also draw a mountain god below the couplet?"
The enthusiastic lady smiled and said, "There's more to it than just painting mountain gods!"
She pointed at another couplet: "Look at that one, it's the God of Fortune, and that one is the God of Flowers, and that one is the God of Fungi..."
Li Sisi followed the enthusiastic elder sister's explanation and looked at each one. She was suddenly dazzled and couldn't match the name of any god with its portrait.
Nangong Jin remembered that there was also a picture of the Gu God on the couplets in his family. He used to think that everyone worshipped the Gu God in the same way!
It turns out that everyone worships different gods!
The enthusiastic older sister seemed to love chatting, pulling Li Sisi aside and talking non-stop: "Let me tell you, if you haven't gotten married yet! Just buy that flower god and take it back. I guarantee you'll find a good marriage next year!"
Li Sisi asked curiously, "Is it so accurate?"
The enthusiastic older sister sneered: "Oh, whether this is accurate or not depends on whether you believe it or not!"
Li Sisi:...Hey, big sister is quite honest!
Nangong Jin listened to his elder sister's words, his eyes lit up faintly, and he pointed at the couplet of the flower god and said, "I want to buy this and put it on my door. Sister Sisi, you can't use it, so buy a blessing body, okay?"
Seeing that she was finally a little more energetic and no longer as drowsy and absent-minded as before, Li Sisi even suggested to the two of them which couplets to buy.
Smiling, he replied, "Okay, I'll listen to you. I also think the God of Fortune is good."
After paying readily, the three continued shopping.
Nangong Jin held the Flower God couplet with a happy look on his face.
"Let's go take a look in the front. It seems they sell..." Nangong Jin pointed forward and suddenly stopped talking midway.
Li Sisi turned her head in confusion and saw that she was very happy just now, but suddenly her face changed and she looked shocked.
Li Sisi looked in the direction of her finger.
Then he saw Zhou Yiheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, following a young girl.
The girl was buying things, and Zhou Yiheng followed her patiently. Although both of them were followed by servants, Zhou Yiheng personally carried the things the girl bought.
It seems that Zhou Yiheng cherishes that girl very much.
Nangong Jin had come to his senses and ran over angrily: "Nangong Qingyu!"
The girl who was picking things turned around and looked at her in surprise: "Miss, did you recognize the wrong person? His name is Zhou Yiheng, not Nangong Qingyu."
After she finished speaking, she paused and asked, "Excuse me, who is this girl?"
Nangong Jin glanced at her coldly: "Who are you?"
Zhou Yiheng explained: "Yingying, she is the lifesaver I told you about before."
Liu Ying had an expression of sudden enlightenment on her face and said with a smile: "So you are the young lady of the Nangong family. I am Ah Heng's cousin."
Nangong Jin was stunned, regretting his impulsiveness. He smiled awkwardly, "Oh, it turns out to be Qing... Ah Heng's cousin!"
She had been calling him "Nangong Qingyu" for three years, so she was a little uncomfortable at first.
But the wolf cub has recovered his memory and he has his own life. It is indeed inappropriate for her to continue calling him by the name she gave him.
Shout it more often and you will get used to it.
Nangong Qingyu asked with a polite smile, "How did cousin and Ah Heng get back? Didn't he go to visit an old friend far away?"
