Confucius businesswoman: proud of the world

Chapter 92
Although Kong Linglong ordered not to be influenced by the outside world, everything in Kong's residence remained as usual.

But seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, Yu'er, out of concern for Kong Linglong, still said: "Miss, shall we still put on a show this year?"

Kong Linglong put down the ledger in her hand: "This is handed down from my grandfather, of course I have to put it here."

And the more it is at this time, the more the arena is going to be put on. What the Kong family is doing is for the benefit of all people, so what is there to be afraid of?

Yu'er bowed her head: "Yes, I will let them prepare to go now, servant girl."

Speaking of lanterns during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Confucius applied to the county government as early as 30 years ago to contract the decoration of lanterns on this street. It is so lively that people can enjoy various lanterns on the street at will. Almost every year is different, and the novelty also attracts more and more people who come to see the lanterns at night.

Mrs. Liu is also discussing with Situ Xueyi: "My lord, the streets are surrounded by the Lantern Festival held by the Kong family every year, but this year, I don't know if Kong Linglong still has the courage to hold the lantern festival."

Situ Xueyi's mood faded, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is over, and you don't have much time, old man."

There was a chill in Mo Ming's words, and Old Master Liu tensed up: "Don't worry, my lord. I will contact the county magistrate Wang to create a little chaos in the Mid-Autumn Festival market and sue the Kong family for causing trouble."

Situ Xueyi stared at him indifferently: "You have also seen the secret decree. If you can't complete the task in the end and force me to take action, it will not look good on the face."

Although the best way is to act in a low-key way, if it can't be solved in a low-key manner, the Situ family will never worry about public outrage and public grievances. The biggest bloody case of the Situ family is the fact that the first-rank official Xiangguo was ransacked and exterminated. Back then, countless people in the capital Filled with righteous indignation, but what happened, it's not nothing.

So it's good to not be offended by public opinion, but what's the use of public opinion under power?

Situ Xueyi smiled coldly.Mrs. Liu was shocked by the laughter.Yipin Xiangguo is not in the eyes of the Situ family, so what is the Liu family?
In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival has come. As soon as the people went to the streets the day before, they found that the lanterns with the style of the Kong family had been placed all over the street. They were surprised and happy. They were also worried that the Kong family would not do it again this year. Miss, as always, passed on.

This is Kong Linglong's first lantern festival as the head of the family. If she refuses to do it at this time, it will not be 01:30's heart that will be lost.It is also easy to be called unfilial, so Kong Linglong has no intention of giving up this lantern festival at all.

And she's going to host it herself.

In the highlight of the guessing game, if the head of the Kong family was not present, wouldn't it make people feel more guilty.

Suye came to Kong Linglong's eaves. Bright lanterns had already been hung on it. The bright yellow color made people feel warm.

Kong Linglong happened to come out of the house, and met Su Ye's eyes.

"Linglong, I won't be going tomorrow." After a while, Suye said.

Kong Linglong nodded: "Okay, you don't want to go."

The two of them didn't seem to explain much, and they didn't ask any more questions, so they just watched for a while.

Suye suddenly smiled wryly, and there was a trace of disappointment in his slowly moving eyes: "Actually, I really want to go to the lantern festival with you."

Kong Linglong didn't look away, she was still looking at his side face, the perfect nose under the light seemed to come from the most skillful painter.She nodded and said, "I know."

Su Ye was taken aback, did she know?Knowing that I actually want to be like an ordinary person, walking shoulder to shoulder with her on the streets of Xianyang.

Like a pair of the most ordinary... people.

Kong Linglong said: "It's getting late, I want to rest, you should go back too."

Suye looked at her, with a helpless smile on her face, Kong Linglong nodded to him, and then went into the room and closed the door.

Hope you dream of me sometimes too.Suye gently mouthed to the door.

Every year, the lantern riddles are written by the head of the Confucian family, and this year's lantern riddles are written by Kong Linglong.Yu'er was holding the riddle lantern with Evergreen Tree written on it, a little confused: "Miss, is it just these few words?"

She has never seen a lantern riddle with such a simple riddle. You know, if someone guesses it right, they will win 100 taels of gold.

Kong Linglong had already changed her clothes and looked in the mirror. She didn't spend much time on her appearance because her whole mind was occupied by the Kong family. However, on such an occasion, she hoped that she could be worthy of this identity.

"Improved the lottery this year, don't ask for 100 taels, mention 1000 taels, gold." Following Kong Linglong's faint voice, Yu'er almost spit out water, she looked at Kong Linglong in disbelief: "Miss?"

1000 taels of gold? !What is Miss thinking?This is equivalent to the best shop under the name of the Kong family, with a whole month's harvest.

Kong Linglong turned around in front of the mirror in satisfaction, "Go to the cashier and pay out the money, and we're leaving with the lantern riddles."

Guessing a lantern riddle pays one tael, but the lottery is 1000 taels of gold. Everyone wants to try it.The 100 taels in previous years has already made people flock to it. This year, Kong Linglong mentioned 1000 taels. In front of the lantern riddle guessing booth, there will be a fight, right?
Sure enough, the 1000 two lottery prizes were released, and the whole Xianyang city was boiling. Kong Linglong wanted this year's lantern festival to be more lively than before. Nothing can drive people's nature more than money.

Liu Shao was called over by Mrs. Liu, and Situ Xueyi squinted his eyes at the son of the Liu family, showing a smile that was not a smile.

In all fairness, Liu Shao didn't like being stared at like this. He could feel that in the eyes of this Situ Xueyi, he seemed to be no different than those untouchables on the side of the road.

Mrs. Liu reprimanded: "Shao'er!"

Liu Shao raised his hands, bowed to Situ Xueyi, and said in a gentle voice, "Liu Shao, a grassroots man, pay homage to Sir Situ."

He doesn't have a formal official status yet, so he can only call himself a grassroots man to Situ Xueyi.

Situ Xueyi laughed lightly: "You don't have to force yourself to salute, Mr. Liu, I believe that if you and I were separated, you might have disliked me long ago and kicked me out."

Changing places means that if Liu Shao has this ability, he will definitely not let Situ Xueyi show off in the Liu family.

Old Master Liu's complexion changed, and when he was about to say something, Liu Shao raised his head, and a look of disbelief flashed in the depths of his eyes: "Why do you misunderstand the grassroots like this?"

Situ Xueyi regained his lazy expression: "Get up, no matter if you misunderstood or not, today you just need to follow along."

Again in a tone that seemed to send off servants, Liu Shao's expression was serious, and he cupped his hands and said, "Yes."

Although Mrs. Liu said countless times, this is an excellent opportunity to get close to Situ Xueyi. When Situ Xueyi proposed to leave Liu's house and go to the Lantern Festival, he needed someone to accompany him. Of course, this person could not be the eye-catching Mrs. Liu. Then Liu Shao is the best choice.In terms of age, the two are evenly matched, and when two young people walk together, no one will pay special attention to them.

And Liu Shao was also solemnly confessed by Mrs. Liu, no matter what, Situ Xueyi couldn't be unhappy.

Because a good opportunity may also become a fatal opportunity.

As the sun went down, the lights on the street began to shine brightly. People scrambled to eat and ran to the street. The spacious avenue, which is usually not afraid of walking sideways, was blocked.

Situ Xueyi and Liu Shao, who came slowly to the street, looked a little unhappy.

Liu Shao said slowly: "There are so many people, I'm afraid someone will plot something secretly, do you want Master Situ?"

Situ Xueyi frowned, and said with a smile: "Go back? I've already come out, how could I go back. As for the murderous hands, with Mr. Liu by my side, what am I afraid of?"

There seemed to be a ray of viciousness hidden in the faint smile.Liu Shao pretended not to see, and said lightly: "In this case, let's walk along the crowd."

With the sound of a gong, someone shouted: "The Kong family's lantern riddle has begun!"

Immediately, the already crowded crowd started rushing towards one place like crazy.Liu Shao's expression changed, and he subconsciously protected Situ Xueyi, while Situ Xueyi stood there coldly.

As men, women and children continued to squeeze forward, there was space around Situ Xueyi and Liu Shao.At this time, Liu Shao wiped off his sweat, looked at Situ Xueyi and said, "My lord, do you plan to continue?"

Situ Xueyi said indifferently: "Of course I also go to the lantern riddles."

Just now the crowd was so crowded that it was because of this lantern riddle. Of course, it was necessary to see what charm it had, so that everyone could gather around the Kong family to earn money.

Liu Shao said slowly, "Lantern riddle meetings are usually held by the head of the Confucian family. Maybe that person will follow Kong Linglong as well."

Situ Xueyi sneered, of course he knew that he was referring to Suye.

They walked slowly like this, but along the way they met people who kept walking back, shaking their heads and sighing: "This year's lantern riddles are more difficult than previous years, and this Miss Kong is even more tricky than Mr. Kong."

Since it is a lottery, it means that there are very few people who can make money. In the past years, the puzzles that Mr. Kong personally posed, there were many people who could not solve the puzzles in the end, but in the end, Mr. Kong would announce the answers with a smile to help some people. Let go of the unconvinced heart.

Therefore, there must be answers to lantern riddles, and after telling them, they will suddenly realize that they can only blame themselves for not being smart enough.

There were people who kept their heads down and talked about Kong Linglong's tricks in frustration.

Situ Xueyi's eyes are getting darker and darker. In his eyes, this lantern riddle is not worth mentioning. What kind of tricks can this place in the countryside of Xianyang do? He accompanied the empress dowager and the emperor every year. I don't know if he has seen it. How many lantern riddles have been played, any one time is a hundred times better than this simple street.

"Go and have a look." Situ Xueyi said slowly.

Liu Shao glanced at him, naturally he would not refute.This lantern riddle will attract a lot of people, but those who lose will also come out quickly. If it keeps flowing like this, those who fail can enjoy the various lanterns with peace of mind.
