After playing mahjong at the general's mansion, it was already completely dark.
It’s the perfect time to go out and visit the lantern festival.
When everyone arrived at the main street with great joy, they found that it was packed with people and the carriage could not move forward at all.
After getting off the carriage, Xue Rou was worried that there might be an accident if there were too many people, so she asked Jiang Li to go with her.
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jiang Mubai squeezed in between the two of them, "Mom, it's a big holiday, you can go shopping with dad. As for your sister, leave her to our protection."
"Yes, mother, it's so hard to go out with father, so you should let father accompany you."
"Mom, don't worry. We are here to protect my sister."
Several sons echoed in unison. Xue Rou looked at Jiang Yao a few times, her eyes full of hesitation.
"My brothers are right," Jiang Li also placed Xue Rou's hand in Jiang Yao's hand, "Dad, you must protect my mother well and don't let anyone bump into her."
Jiang Yao spends most of his time guarding the border, and Jiang Li doesn't want to disturb their rare date because of herself.
Since giving birth to her eldest child, Xue Rou has never behaved so intimately with Jiang Yao in public again. For a while, she was embarrassed by the children.
"Go, go, go play somewhere else."
Seeing Xue Rou getting shy, Jiang Yao quickly embraced her in his arms, glared at his sons, and reminded them, "Then you must protect your sister well. If anyone bumps into her, I'll kick you to death."
"I know."
My brothers feel like their ears are getting calluses.
I thought it was nothing, but not long after I stepped out of the crowd, the third and fourth brothers were really separated.
"Don't worry about them, sister, let's go, Fifth Brother will take you for a good stroll."
Jiang Mubai was obviously happier.
The eldest brother grabbed Jiang Mubai's ear and said, "See that place selling candy figures over there? Go buy one for your sister."
“No, I…”
Before Jiang Li could finish her words, Lao Wu had already run over.
The second brother said to Jiang Li, "I used to see other brothers with their sisters on the street. Everyone was so envious and always wished you were here."
"Yes, little sister," the eldest brother scratched his head, "in fact, we brought you out today, and we also have selfish motives."
As he spoke, Jiang Mubai quickly bought the candy man and handed it to Jiang Li, saying with a smug look on his face, "Hehe, I just spent an extra ounce of silver, and the stall owner agreed to make a candy man for me first."
"Sister, please try it and see if it tastes good."
Looking at the three people's bright eyes, looking at her expectantly, at this moment, Jiang Li suddenly understood what Jiang Qing meant by selfishness.
It turns out that the one accompanying us today is not only her, but also our childhood selves.
Taking a bite of the candy man, Jiang Li smiled with her eyebrows curved, "It's delicious, thank you, fifth brother."
The other side.
Jiang Maoshan looked at Jiang Zhong with disdain. "Don't you call yourself the number one investigator in Daning? Tell me, where did they take my sister?"
"How dare you ask me this?" Jiang Zhong glanced at Jiang Maoshan, feeling like scratching that face that looked just like his. "If you hadn't said you wanted to buy candied haws for your sister, would we have been separated by the crowd?"
"Can you blame me? Didn't I forget to bring the silver?!"
Jiang Maoshan curled his lips. If he wanted to blame someone, he should blame the stall owner for reacting too quickly. When he saw him turn around to ask for money, he thought he didn't want to pay, so he immediately rushed out of the stall and grabbed the two brothers.
"Stop talking nonsense and just follow the crowd to look for him." Jiang Zhong had just finished speaking when he heard a familiar voice.
"Third Young Master Jiang, Fourth Young Master Jiang, what a coincidence, you are here too?"
This was also Yin Jia's first time attending the Lantern Festival in the capital. As soon as she finished dinner, Yin Tian brought her out, saying that he wanted to accompany her for a good stroll.
As a result, after walking a few steps, they were dispersed by the crowd.
Yin Jia had no choice but to take Xiao Zhu forward, but unexpectedly, when they turned a corner, they met two young masters from the general's mansion.
So, the princess is here too?!
Yin Jia looked around but didn't see Jiang Li, and a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
Jiang Maoshan was stunned. "Can you tell the difference between us?"
When Yin Jia called them just now, the direction she was looking in was absolutely correct.
Yin Jia covered her mouth and chuckled, "Of course, why did Young Master Jiang ask that?"
Jiang Maoshan lightly moved his left foot, pushing his annoying brother aside. He looked at Yin Jia and said, "Ignore him. He's just bored. By the way, with so many people here today, why did Miss Yin bring a little maid with her? It's a bit too unsafe."
After Xiao Zhu explained what had just happened, Jiang Maoshan handed a candied haws to Yin Jia and another to Jiang Zhong. "In that case, Third Brother, you go find my sisters and the others first. I'll accompany Miss Yin to find Brother Yin and will meet up with you later."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed in a direction, leading Yin Jia away.
How could Jiang Maoshan not know what this kid was up to? He spat inwardly, nodded slightly at Yin Jia, and left in the opposite direction.
"Bang, bang, bang—"
A few gong sounds led the people who were eating and walking along the way to a high platform.
It is obvious that this platform was built specifically for the Lantern Festival.
The platform is based on a giant drum head, and behind the platform stands a five-meter-high log. Every one meter on the log, there is a round target with light reflected in the middle. It was not until Jiang Li got closer that he discovered that there was actually a small gong surface in the middle.
"Come, come, folks, look here!"
As the crowd gradually gathered in front of the platform, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper came forward from behind with his hands clasped.
