Qiu Yan smiled and shook her head, "It won't cost much anyway. Isn't the money I earn for you guys to spend?"
Upon hearing this, Qiu Xu silently lowered his head.
My sister is too tired. When he grows up a bit more, he will definitely not let her work so hard.
“But…” Qiu Ling’er felt that she couldn’t be too selfish.
"No buts, we don't lack money right now." Qiu Yan gave her younger sister a reassuring look. "You and your brother just focus on your studies."
"Mm." Qiu Ling'er finally nodded.
"Sister, the day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. Let's go see the lanterns together."
She had only heard the adults in the village say that the Lantern Festival night in Baiyang City was very beautiful, but she had never seen it.
This year marks her first Lantern Festival in Baiyang, and she is really looking forward to it.
“Okay, Xu will go too.” Qiu Yan spent the New Year in a relaxed and joyful atmosphere, but her younger brother Qiu Xu didn’t have a single day of rest.
My younger brother's daily routine consists of eating, sleeping, reading, and practicing martial arts.
She wanted to take advantage of the holiday to let her younger brother relax.
Qiu Xu had been listening to his older and younger sister's conversation. When his older sister mentioned him, he nodded in agreement.
"I'll listen to my sister."
Two days later, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
That day, Qiu Yumei did not forget to instruct Gao Yuan and Zhang Ming to hang lanterns all over the front of the wonton shop, just so that it could blend in with the brightly lit lantern festival.
The streets and alleys were filled with the festive atmosphere.
Qiu Yan stayed in the courtyard all day waiting for Gu Qian to return, but he never came back, not even at dinner time.
Presumably, he was too busy with military affairs to get away.
Just after dinner, Qiu Yan, her younger brother and sister, Gu Xiaoran, her aunt, and her family walked together through the crowded streets.
The streets were bustling with noise and activity.
On the main street, there are many small vendors selling all kinds of snacks, such as jujube cakes and sugar figurines.
Compared to the relaxed and carefree life of Qiu Yan and others, Qiu Dayu's situation was far more miserable.
Inside Xingyue Tower, poor Qiu Dayu was sitting at a dining table by the window, his hands supporting his chin, pondering how he could sabotage Zhao Yuanyuan's marriage.
This matter caused him great distress and made him restless.
Ever since he and Zhao Yuanyuan came to Baiyang that day, Zhao Yuanyuan has been staying at the clothing shop, and he has never seen her once.
He had boasted to Zhao Yuanyuan that day that he would make the Zhou family cancel the engagement.
Now, he has no idea how to answer the questions he might be asked when they meet.
He has been deliberately avoiding Zhao Yuanyuan for the past few days.
"What are you thinking about?" A poignant voice broke Qiu Dayu's chaotic thoughts.
Qiu Dayu looked up and saw Song Jiao sitting down opposite him. He gave her a stiff smile and said, "It's nothing."
Song Jiao smiled faintly: "Your worries are written all over your face, yet you say you don't."
The Qiu Dayu of the past was not like this.
But ever since the Lunar New Year, he has been preoccupied with worries.
"Really?" Qiu Dayu wondered to himself. Was his behavior really that obvious?
Qiu Dayu glanced at Song Jiao again; she was still the same as before, her eyes always filled with sorrow.
Her appearance reflected my current mood.
"Song Jiao, tell me, what would you do if the person you like got engaged to someone else?"
Now that Lin Shu and Qin Wu are not at Xingyue Tower, Qiu Dayu has no one to ask.
Upon hearing this, Song Jiao's eyes darkened slightly, but quickly her expression softened: "Are you referring to Miss Yuanyuan?"
Qiu Dayu felt a little embarrassed; this Song Jiao was quite clever.
