Ning Yunyan from Beiliu really wanted to see the lanterns in Yangcheng.

But she couldn't go, which made her very angry.

"The lanterns in our town are beautiful too. It's so far and cold, why do we have to go to Yangcheng?" Madam Ning said tenderly, stroking her daughter's head.

Ning Yunyan turned around.

“I just can’t get over it,” she said.

Everyone in the Bei Liuning family declined invitations from relatives and friends and would not go to Yangcheng to see the lanterns this year. However, news had already spread that the Fang family was going to hold a grand Lantern Festival and was offering a sum of 1,200 taels of silver to select the winner of the Lantern Festival.

Madam Ning smiled.

"Why bother to compete with a bug?" She said, smiling but with a hint of coldness in her eyes. "Your brother is right. Let's just avoid them for now and let everyone see their frivolity. As for teaching them a lesson, it doesn't have to be now. There's still a long way to go."

Hearing that it was her brother's idea, Ning Yunyan's expression softened a lot. There was still a lot of time to come, and her brother would definitely vent his anger for her, so she nodded obediently.

"What about your brother? Will he go to the town with us to watch the lights?" she asked again.

Madam Ning shook her head.

"Your brother went out with some classmates to visit Mr. Enlightenment and was unable to return that day," she said.

Chinese New Year is a time when more relatives and friends come out to visit, especially when my second uncle’s family comes back. This year there must be a lot of relatives and friends at home, but my brother avoids going out at this time. It must be because of the saying that his value is higher than that of a red card in a brothel.

That’s right, that sentence has not only spread throughout Yangcheng, but now everyone in Beiliu also knows it, and those relatives and friends must also know it.

Ning Yunyan lowered her head and clenched the handkerchief tightly.

Jun Zhenzhen, there is a lot of time ahead, just wait and see.

…

The Lantern Festival is here in the blink of an eye.

The three young ladies of the Fang family all changed into new clothes. Fang Chengyu, who was also wearing new clothes and wrapped in a thick cloak, came out.

Mrs. Fang was still worried, so she put the hand warmer in Fang Chengyu's arms.

"Mother, I already have one. There is a foot warmer under my feet and a heater in the car." Fang Jinxiu said.

"It's cold at night." Mrs. Fang touched Fang Chengyu's hand again and again, and felt relieved when she felt the warmth.

Chengyu is different from everyone else, his meridians are damaged and his blood circulation is blocked. He is more afraid of cold than others.

Of course, this was not said out loud.

Fang Chengyu smiled and let his mother check it.

"You don't have to walk too far. It's on the street in front of our house," said Old Mrs. Fang.

In the past, the Fang family had organized lanterns on the most prominent Vulcan Temple Street in Yangcheng, but this year, for Fang Chengyu's lantern viewing, the Fang family had organized an additional street, the street in front of their house, and the one they organized was even more lively than the one on Vulcan Temple Street.

There is only one car in front of the second gate. Girls have to take the car to the Fire God Temple to watch the lights. This year, they don’t have to take the car as they can just go in front of the gate.

This car is only for Fang Chengyu to use.

Several servants carried Fang Chengyu into the car, and Mrs. Fang sat in it herself to accompany him.

"Okay." Old Mrs. Fang took a look.

Three granddaughters stood beside her, followed by two concubines, Yuan and Su. A little further away stood Jun Zhenzhen and her maid.

At first glance, there are red, green and yellow jewelry rings sparkling, but there are no men.

"Open the door, let's go see the lights." Old Mrs. Fang retracted her gaze and took a step forward.

The numerous servants responded immediately. Several of them rushed over and pushed the door open.

The bright lights outside the door poured in, and at the same time there was a lot of noise.

"It's coming out. It's coming out."

The door was already crowded with people, and as the Fang family's door opened, everyone looked around, causing a surge of people.

The young master of the Fang family has not left home for nearly ten years. To the people of Yangcheng, he is just a person who lives in gossip.

"Having money, so what? The paralytic from the Fang family has money, but he's still young and dying."

Today the paralytic is going out to admire the lanterns, and many people are vying to see the true face of the paralytic.

The Fang family had already thought of this kind of scene. Although the scene was a bit ironic, Old Mrs. Fang remained upright and calm.

"Oh, this is so embarrassing." Liu Er pouted and said, "Miss, let's move back a bit."

Miss Jun smiled without saying anything or moving, her eyes scanning the crowd.

The door was not blocked by the crowd. The servants of the Fang family blocked the crowd on both sides. In addition to the servants, there was a group of men and women in gorgeous clothes waiting. When they saw Mrs. Fang and others, they all surrounded them.

"Are these the bank's managers?" Miss Jun asked in a low voice.

Liu'er didn't care about this at all, but she was a responsible maid, so she immediately turned around and asked other maids and servants.

"Yes." The maids and servants answered.

Miss Jun's gaze fell on an old man who was standing in front of Old Madam Fang and bowing respectfully. The other shopkeepers were standing behind him, obviously respecting him.

"That's the shopkeeper Song," the girl said, "he's the old man left behind by the old lady."

Shopkeeper Song was about the same age as Old Lady Fang. Miss Jun saw Old Lady Fang smiling warmly at the shopkeeper, and at the same time she reached out and held the arm of an older woman who followed Shopkeeper Song.

It seems that the relationship is very close.

Miss Jun shifted her gaze and looked toward the street.

There are more and more people on the street.

"Are you going to leave or not? Look at the light or talk." Liu'er said loudly.

It was a pity that the noise and the sound of firecrackers and fireworks in the distance drowned out her voice. Fortunately, Mrs. Fang didn't greet these people anymore and walked out onto the street under everyone's gaze.

The three sisters followed closely behind Old Lady Fang. They knew what these people were watching, but they were not afraid despite being nervous when facing the crowd's gaze.

"Second sister, the lights I made are placed in front." Fang Jinxiu said with a smile, pointing with her finger and turning around to look at the car following behind.

She wanted to call him "little brother", but swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.

She didn't shout, but the people around her couldn't help but shout.

"Master Fang."

"Master Fang."

The Fang family's carriage was very luxurious, with exquisite curtains hiding the people inside. People were not here to look at the carriage.

"How do you see the lights?"

"Lift up the curtains."

"Master Fang, look at the lamp I made."

All kinds of genuine and fake threats kept coming at me.

Mrs. Fang, who was sitting in the car, suddenly thought of the story of a handsome man who was stared to death. Compared with Wei Jie, Fang Chengyu was physically weaker, and these people were not there to appreciate beauty.

"Drive faster." Mrs. Fang couldn't help but urge.

Fang Chengyu reached out and lifted the car curtain.

This action was so sudden that Mrs. Fang lost her voice, and the shaking of the car curtains outside made a loud noise.

"Chengyu." Mrs. Fang reached out and pressed the car curtain, looking reluctant.

She really couldn't bear to see her son being treated like a toy by others.

Fang Chengyu did not let go of the car curtain.

"Mother, I have done nothing wrong," he said. "I am not ashamed."

Yes, he is not wrong. Why can't he see people? Why is he afraid of seeing people? Why can't he appear in front of people with dignity?

Mrs. Fang looked at him for a moment and opened the curtain on the other side of the car.

"Okay, Chengyu, look at the light." She said softly.

Fang Chengyu smiled at his mother.

By this time they had reached the first tier of lanterns on the street, which was a lantern tower with ninety-nine crystal clear colored glaze lanterns hanging on each side. As the central axis rotated, the lights flowed colorfully.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the car at this moment. The curtains were drawn open, revealing a young man wrapped in a black poncho. His face looked even paler against the black poncho, but it became sparkling under the colorful light of the light stand.

The people around felt that all the light was focused on this young man's face, and they were stunned for a moment.

This paralytic is not as ugly as everyone imagines, but rather a beautiful lady.

But such a beauty will die this year.

“What a shame.”

Everyone said this in their hearts at the same time.
