Along the way, Ye Jiao did not lift the curtain and look out.

Usually sitting in the car, the little ginseng always likes to look outside, but Ye Jiao has not done so today, for fear of opening the curtain and blowing into the wind to Qi Yun.

Now that the white rainbow fruit has not yet come out, and when the life-saving thing is not in hand, Ye Jiao naturally has to be careful about everything.

He has only one husband, so he has to be careful.

Qi Yun could also see that Ye Jiao was nervous and felt warm in her heart. He reached out and gently took Ye Jiao's hand.

The little ginseng leaned against the soft cushion and felt the jolt of the carriage, so he leaned directly on the man's shoulder and murmured, "how much longer?"

Qi Yun estimated, "the time is up for at most one cup of tea."

Ye Jiao still leaned against Qi Yun, touched it in the food box with her hand, took out a candied fruit and stuffed it into her mouth. Her cheeks were bulging and her words were a little vague: "Xianggong, tell me what you can see later."

Qi Yun adjusted his posture to make Ye Jiao more comfortable, and then told her.

According to folklore, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a serious day for lanterns, but in fact, preparations have been made since the beginning of the year, and the first day of the Lunar New year has already been decorated and jubilant.

From the first to the fifteenth day of junior high school, this half-month is spent on lively activities for the common people.

There was a saying in the ancients: "A thousand trees blossom in the east wind night." It blows down, and the stars are like rain. The road is full of incense on BMW carved cars. " This is what we are talking about today.

The sky fireworks are in full bloom like the stars falling like rain, the lanterns are bright all around, and the streets are full of pedestrians, which is the most lively.

Because of the large number of people, there are often scenes one after another, and when you enjoy the game, you will not notice that some hairpins fall off.

So someone will carry small lights up and down the street in the middle of the night, picking up these small items to sell, often allowing them to make a small windfall.

Hearing this, Ye Jiao subconsciously touched the jade hairpin on her head: "this was given to me by my husband, but I dare not lose it."

Qi Yun clasped her hand and said with a smile, "as long as the wife is there, you don't have to care too much about whether you lose other things or not."

Ye Jiao poked him: "Xianggong is wrong. Everything is bought with the money you earn. Xianggong works so hard every day. If he loses it, won't he lose his hard work?"

Hearing the words, Qi Yun replied solemnly, "my wife is really right. She is careless for her husband."

Ye Jiao could tell that he was coaxing herself, ignored him, and touched a candied fruit and put it in her mouth.

At this time, the carriage stopped, and Tiezi said outside, "second young master, second young lady, this is the place," his voice paused. "there are so many people outside that I'm afraid the carriage can't get in."

Ye Jiao said nothing, but just looked at Qi Yun and waited for him to make up her mind.

It's just that Ye Jiao didn't know that this was the first time Qi Jiao went shopping, and naturally it was the first time that she had encountered this kind of situation.

However, Qi Yun looked particularly calm. He reached out and looked out of the curtain. After identifying the position, he said, "Let's go down first. You can deposit the carriage in a wine shop not far away and pick it up when you get back."

Tiezi answered, moved a low stool to help the two people get out of the car.

Ye Jiao, dressed in a white dress and a thick jacket, looked delicate and noble with a red cloak on the outside.

On the other hand, Qi Yun, furry fur clothes, furry hat, wrapped him tightly, but it is still black, if in the dark, I am afraid to blend in with the night.

However, many people in the street wear masks, or shake objects on white paper with bamboo bones. Qi Erlang doesn't think he is too strange.

When Tiezi went to park the carriage, the two took Xiao Su around.

Before long, Xiao Su had several more paper bags in her hand, all of which were small items bought by Ye Jiao, which were not big and had little weight to lift.

Ye Jiao did not buy anything to eat. She was probably caught in the mouth by a skilled cook in the Qi family. Ye Jiao is now a little picky about what to eat.

Qi Yun, on the other hand, turned his eyes on Ye Jiao and carefully pulled up his wife for fear of being dispersed by the crowd.

You can lose anything, but your own wife must keep an eye on it.

After a while, Qi Yun saw Ye Jiao standing in front of a jade stall.

It is said that it is not only jade articles, but also some unfashionable gadgets, from pendants to earrings.

The list price is also cheap, mostly in ten or twenty articles, looking at the appearance of jade is also mostly low-grade.

Although the vendor thought that Qi Yun's bulging bag looked like a big hair ball, he could see that it was a good-quality fur dress. Ye Jiao was even more beautifully dressed, and immediately piled up a smiling face: "Happy New year to your Lordship. What do you want to choose?" What I have here is all the good stuff I brought from Nanyang! "

Because the peddler could not see Qi Yun's face clearly, he could not estimate his age. in short, there was nothing wrong with shouting his Lordship.

Qi Yun didn't care. He took a look at the stall and didn't care much.

Although Qi Jiaerang had never really wandered down the street, he had seen a lot of good things, and if it were only of this quality, I am afraid he would not even take a look at it.

But now Ye Jiao looked straight at a stone placed in the corner and dragged Qi Yun's sleeve: "that's really beautiful."

Qi Yun's eyes followed and then raised his eyebrows in surprise.

It was a piece of jade that looked a little unfashionable, unlike other jade, which was as white or green as other jade, it was a lilac-looking jade with a thin crack on it, which looked like broken bits and pieces.

When the peddler saw that Ye Jiao was interested in the stone, he immediately smiled.

He always said that his stones were brought by the Nanyang caravan, but in fact, as an ordinary vendor, how could he have the money to send people to Nanyang to bring things back? To hold on to death is to buy some inferior jade that others do not want, or to panning for things that others have lost.

The stone was picked up by him. It had been saved in his hand for a long time, but he could not find a buyer, and he brought it out today just to take a chance.

After all, this piece of color is not good-looking, there are cracks, this crack runs through the whole piece of jade, no matter how to hide it, he is stingy and reluctant to give it away, and now he is overjoyed to see someone want to buy it.

So the peddler was ready to boast about his piece of purple jade, but without waiting for him to speak, Qi Yun asked, "I don't know where did you get this piece of jade?"

The peddler immediately boasted, "this is jade floating across the sea by boat. It cost me a lot of money to find it from the Nanyang caravan. My lord, look at this quality, this quality, this …"

"make an offer." Qi Jing light road.

Seeing him like this, the peddler turned his eyes and held out two fingers directly: "two hundred cents, I won't sell a penny less."

Ye Jiao did not know the price of jade, but Qi Yun knew that jade of this quality could not be bought at all, and the peddler was already asking too much.

But Qi Yun calmly said to Ye Jiao, "Niang Niang, can you give me a silver ingot?"

Ye Jiao immediately took a small silver ingot from her purse and handed it to him. The peddler looked straight at it.

Although the silver ingot is small, it seems to be worth at least five hundred!

Qi Yun looked at the peddler and said, "as long as you tell me where this piece of jade came from, explain it more clearly, and this will be given to you."

Without hesitation, the peddler poured out everything he knew: "I picked it up from a caravan a while ago." No, they bought it. They usually go out to sea in summer and return after autumn. They should be resting now. Their residence is in a big house in the city. The owner's surname is Sun. As soon as they ask about it, they will know. "

Qi Yun nodded, gave the silver ingot directly to the vendor, then picked up the piece of jade and handed it to Ye Jiao. "I'll give it to you," he said with a smile. "

Ye Jiao didn't think there was anything wrong with using her money to buy things for herself. after all, Qi Yun gave it to her to take care of it, and it was the money of two people, so she naturally had to spend money from here.

But when he was far away, Ye Jiao asked him, "Xiang Gong, since he said he could sell it for 200 yuan, why did you have to give him so much?"

Qi Yun never hid anything from Ye Jiao, explaining everything clearly, and this time was no exception: "what I want is not this piece of jade, but news." Now our wine shop is getting bigger, and more and more money is true, but some items can't be found easily, and people in the caravan need to find them. It's just that it's easy to find out about the caravan, and now it's a blessing to be able to find out about it from this peddler. "

Ye Jiao blinked: "are you spending money to buy a blessing?"

Qi Yun shook her hand and said, "Yes, there is no end to the cheapness in this world, but when we encounter good fortune, we should not be stingy, otherwise it will be not a blessing, but a curse."

Ye Jiao nodded in mind as if she didn't understand, waiting to ponder it slowly later.

At this time, Tiezi came back, and several people went to the center of the town.

There are many lanterns on both sides of the street, as well as surrounded by juggling tables, and there are many people in every place.

Ye Jiao, on the other hand, kept holding Qi Yun's hand and clinging to him, looking around with fresh eyes, but never thought of leaving Qi Yun.

At this time, someone stopped Qi Yun: "but the second young master of the Qi family?"

Qi Yun turned his head and saw a rich middle-aged man with a pair of eyes exposed.

He had never seen this man before, but Tiezi had been out running errands for Qi Yun. He immediately recognized the identity of the man and whispered to Qi Yun, "the second young master is the Sun shopkeeper of the bank."

As soon as Ye Jiao heard this title, she remembered, isn't it the Sun shopkeeper who was framed by the local ruffians who came to make trouble in the liquor store by the Cai family last time?

Shopkeeper Sun also tried to shout because he recognized Tiezi, and when he saw that the big black fur ball really stopped, he knew that he didn't recognize the wrong person. He took two steps forward and smiled very kindly: "Qi er Shao had a hard time coming out, and it was really fate to let Sun meet." Then he looked at Ye Jiao and said with a smile, "er Shao and his wife are really talented and beautiful. They are made for each other, and they must be able to grow old together."

Seeing that he intended to be nice, Qi Yun slowed down his voice and said, "borrow the auspicious words of Sun's shopkeeper."

Ye Jiao looked at the shopkeeper Sun strangely, a little confused, her husband already wrapped the face can not see clearly, where can he see the talent and beauty?

Being kind to others is the most basic thing in the shopping mall. now that he meets his future ally, Qi Yun talks a few more words: "Why is shopkeeper Sun shopping alone in the lanterns?"

Shopkeeper Sun smiled a wry smile: "it's not that I want to be alone. I had an agreement with my wife to stay in the city to watch the lights. Who knows where she heard that the lanterns here are beautiful, so she had to drag me here." Isn't that right? I came with her, and when she wanted to go shopping, she took her servant and lost her shadow, leaving me alone. "

Shopkeeper Sun said pitifully that the little ginseng heard his grievance.

However, Qi Yun noticed that he said, "stay in the city," and thinking that the vendor had just said that the caravan lived in Sun's mansion, he couldn't help asking, "it turns out that shopkeeper Sun also has a mansion in the city."

The shopkeeper Sun said with a smile: "it is just the blessing of our ancestors, leaving me a Sun family mansion. If Qi er Shao is free later, he can go to my house to drink tea and enjoy the flowers. Sun is bound to meet him upside down."

Sure enough, the caravan is in the home of this shopkeeper Sun!

Qi Yun was sure that the corners of his mouth were slightly warped, but he could not really see it with a hat, but his voice was much calmer: "then there will be no need to disturb."

Ye Jiao saw the lively talk of shopkeeper Sun and Qi Yun, and did not open her mouth. She obediently stood beside Qi Yun without loosening Qi Yun's hand, but still held it tightly, but Xiao Ginseng's eyes looked nearby.

Then saw a stall three steps away with a lantern hanging from it.

The lantern is a bead lamp, which weaves five-colored beads into a net and turns it into a jade rabbit shape, with tassel embellishment below, which is particularly eye-catching.

This is the biggest lantern Ye Jiao has seen since she got to town. She couldn't help looking at it twice.

At this time, several people were attracted by the lantern.

"Yatih, the master and his wife said they were going to see the lantern." Liu Rong leaned around Ye Pingrong and said.

Ye Pingrong has been following Duan Wang Chu Chengyun and Duan Princess Meng not far behind, dare not relax for a moment, smell the speech, asked: "these are not all lights?"

Liu Rong pointed to the jade rabbit bead lantern: "the master said he wanted to see that one."

The Jade Rabbit lantern was hanging there, but it was conspicuous. Ye Pingrong immediately said, "go, follow, and tell the brothers not to leave the master two feet away."

"Yes."
