"Why are you here?" Zuo Zixi looked at Ling Xiao unexpectedly.

"I have reserved two rooms for you on the mountain. I'm afraid you won't be able to find them, so I'll pick you up here." Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Shall I go and say hello to the old lady and my wife?"

Zuo Zixi thought that Ling Xiao had been to Xianglan Zhai last night and knew that he got the news from Zuo Xiangning. He laughed and said, "Master Hou is really filial."

Zuo Zixi took Ling Xiao to the carriage where Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were sitting, and said inside: "Grandma, mother, Marquis Jingyuan wants to see you."

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang in the car were both startled.

Zuo Xiangning got off the carriage and saw Ling Xiao, who was wearing a purple gown.

He stood beside the carriage in front, slightly bent, talking to Mrs. Jiang.

As if he felt her gaze, he looked towards her.

Their eyes collided in the air, and Zuo Xiangning hurriedly turned to look at the Jiang sisters who got off the carriage one step behind.

Jiang Ruoxue stretched her neck, looked at the carriage in front of her, and asked Zuo Xiangning in a low voice: "Fourth sister, who is talking to the old lady?"

"I don't know." Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and chuckled.

Jiang Ruosheng just asked casually. After asking, he saw the lantern stall next to him and immediately pulled Zuo Xiangning and Jiang Ruolan to point to a colorful glass lantern hanging above, "Oh my God, is that a lamp?"

Jiang Ruoxue also felt her eyes light up, but she still pulled down Jiang Ruoxue's sleeve and whispered: "Keep your voice down, others are looking at us."

"Just take a look." Jiang Ruoxue walked towards the lantern seller nonchalantly.

Zuo Xiangning hurriedly followed Jiang Ruolan.

"How much is this lamp?" Jiang Ruoxue asked with a smile.

"Ten taels of silver." The stall owner said with a smile: "This lamp doesn't look big, but it has been made for two months. When lit at night, it will emit colorful lights, and this lamp also has a good function. In addition, after lighting the candle, it will burn out by itself and will never cause a fire. It can be lit on a windy and rainy day and will not be affected by the rain or blown by the wind. It is a really good thing."

The people around were all tickled by what the stall owner said, but when they thought of ten taels of silver, they were reluctant to part with it.

"Let's go, let's go down the mountain later." Jiang Ruolan pulled Jiang Ruoxue to leave, but Jiang Ruoxue's eyes seemed to be glued to her and she didn't take a step at all.

Zuo Xiangning stood by and said with a smile: "Take it off."

"I bought it." Another voice sounded before Zuo Xiangning's voice.

Zuo Xiangning turned around and saw that it was Li Wenji.

Li Wenji looked at her sideways and took out the silver from her hand.

Zuo Xiangning thought about what Ling Xiao said and hesitated for a moment.

"I'll give you ten taels of silver. Please take down the lamp." Suddenly a male voice sounded, and then a silver coin fell into the stall owner's hand.

"Li Shaonan, what do you mean?" Li Wenji shouted sharply.

"I think this glazed lamp looks good. I want to buy it. What's wrong? Isn't it okay?" Li Shaonan reached out and took off the lamp and handed it to Zuo Xiangning. "I think you like it too, so I gave it to you."

Zuo Xiangning raised her eyebrows but did not reach out to pick it up.

In this situation, she didn't know whether she should pick it up.

"Zuo Xiangning, how can you be worthy of brother Ling Xiao by doing this?" Li Wenji knew that she couldn't get any advantage from Li Shaonan, so she pointed her finger at Zuo Xiangning again.

It was this woman who appeared out of nowhere and stole her childhood sweetheart.

After hearing what she said, Zuo Xiangning reached out and took the glazed lamp from Li Shaonan's hand, "Thank you, Mr. Li, I was planning to buy it for my cousin." Li Shaonan just wanted to piss off Li Wenji, and originally thought Zuo Xiang Ning didn't know how to pick it up, but Zuo Xiangning gave him face and actually reached out to pick it up.

"Why are you being polite? We are friends." Li Shaonan smiled.

"You still have no shame..."

Just when Li Wenji wanted to use the topic to humiliate the two of them, she saw Ling Xiao, dressed in purple black clothes, appeared beside Zuo Xiangning, "The old lady is waiting for you."

Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but blush when she saw Ling Xiao walking up to her in front of everyone.

Across the way, Li Wenji looked at the gentle Ling Xiao and the shy Zuo Xiangning, and her eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. Are they deliberately angry at her?

"Brother Ling Xiao, she and Li Shaonan teamed up to bully me!" Li Wenji walked to Ling Xiao, stretched out her hand to tug on his sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "Obviously I wanted to buy this lamp first, but Li Shaonan bought it for It’s Zuo Xiangning!”

"Xiang Ning, give this lamp to Miss Li."

As soon as Ling Xiao finished speaking, Li Wenji's face showed a proud look. Although Zuo Xiangning's face did not change, her heart sank slightly.

From now on, Ling Xiao and her will be husband and wife, and they will be one body. No matter what the reason is, he should stand on his side in front of others.

"I should have the final say on who I want to give the lamp to, right?" Li Shaonan said dissatisfiedly.

"Then return it to Mr. Li." Ling Xiao smiled and said to Zuo Xiangning: "I ordered some glazed lamps a few days ago, and I will send you two in a while, just one for each cousin."

"Okay." When Zuo Xiangning heard what he said, the smile on her face became more sincere. She smiled and said to Li Shaonan: "Since Marquis Jingyuan has it, we won't buy it."

Jiang Ruoxue opened her big eyes and kept scanning the faces of several people. She didn't know who to look at longer.

Jiang Ruolan held Zuo Xiangning's arm and whispered: "Fourth sister, my little sister and I just looked at the novelty of the glazed lamp and didn't really want to buy it. It's better not to trouble Mr. Hou."

Jiang Ruoxue hurriedly nodded in agreement: "Fourth sister, I don't want it anymore. Let's go up the mountain quickly. Grandma and aunt should be waiting in a hurry."

"Let's go then, I'll take you up the mountain." Ling Xiao said to Zuo Xiangning and the others: "I have prepared a room on the mountain and ordered snacks from Fangxiangzhai. They are new products that have just come out of the oven. You guys can try it later. Sample."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Zuo Xiangning said softly with a smile.

"Let's go." Ling Xiao took a hand stove from the person next to him and handed it to Zuo Xiangning, "It's warm in spring but cold at the same time."

Zuo Xiangning took it with a smile, and Bingyu also handed a hand stove to each of the Jiang sisters.

Li Wenji was so angry that she almost broke her teeth.

"What a perfect match, a match made in heaven." Li Shaonan deliberately angered Li Wenji.

Li Wenji looked at Li Shaonan who was holding a glazed lamp like a fool, and cursed in a low voice: "Asshole!"

"Princess!" Liu Ruyan got off the carriage, ran towards Li Wenji, and asked with a smile: "Is the princess waiting for me?"

Li Wenji turned around and felt even more disgusted when she saw the fawning Liu Ruyan.

But as she rolled her eyes, she had another idea.

"Ruyan, do you like the second son of the Minister of Rites Wang Shilang?" Li Wenji looked at the shy Liu Ruyan and said with a smile: "I can ask my elder brother to help him ask him out to meet you, but... …”

"Just what?" Liu Ruyan was overjoyed and asked eagerly.

She was about to get haircut now, but none of the marriages her family wanted to make were on the table. She was as anxious as a headless fly, looking for opportunities everywhere.

Li Wenji smiled softly and said, "It's just that you have to do something for me..."
