The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 60 Night Tour

The next day, before the hour of You, Jiang Li came early to report.

Yin Jiuxi said happily: "Xiao Shiliu, are you also going to the Lantern Festival tonight? I will be in a team with you."

Jiang Li said excitedly: "Today is my day off, I'm going to visit the Lantern Festival!"

Yinjiu was very depressed. Why could Xiaoshiliu go shopping while he could only squat in a corner?

Xie Changan walked out with a cold face: "Let's go."

Jiang Li stuck out her tongue at Yin Jiu proudly and followed Xie Changan.

Yin Jiu was speechless. These two openly went to the lantern festival together!

After leaving the yamen, Xie's carriage came to pick her up, and Xie Changan first took her to his own residence.

"It's still early, let's go after dinner."

"What do you want to eat?" he asked again.

It was the first time for Jiang Li to dine in his house. She was a little shy: "I'm not picky, anything is fine."

After a pause, he added: "Don't eat fat!"

Xie Changan smiled, asked the housekeeper to prepare a few side dishes, and took Jiang Li to the flower hall for dinner.

The steward was overjoyed to see that his master had brought a little girl back home for the first time. He went to the kitchen to supervise the process personally, making sure to leave the best impression on this distinguished guest.

The cook used all her skills to prepare a table full of dishes that were delicious and tasty.

"Can I take off the mask now?" Jiang Li asked in a low voice.

"up to you."

He didn't need anyone to wait on him when he ate, and there was no one else at home, so he didn't have to worry about her identity being revealed.

Jiang Li happily took off her mask and sat down opposite him.

She waited obediently until Xie Changan picked up his chopsticks before she started to pick up the food.

Xie Changan was speechless. Who said she wasn't picky about food? This girl was obviously very picky about food.

The braised pork is too fatty, so I don’t eat it; the carp has too many bones, so I don’t eat it; the shrimps need to be peeled, which is troublesome; I only eat the bamboo shoots chicken breast, fried duck and roasted mushrooms in front of me.

"Since you are so picky about food, how come you didn't starve to death in the cold palace?" Xie Changan frowned.

"I don't know how to pick out fish bones!" Jiang Li said embarrassedly.

This girl really has him in her arms.

Xie Changan had no choice but to pick up a piece of fish with the serving chopsticks, pick out the bones and throw it into her bowl.

Jiang Li was smiling happily while eating, and he couldn't help but peel another shrimp for her.

Seeing the little girl eating happily, he suddenly wanted to tease her, so he picked up a piece of fat meat and threw it into her bowl with evil intentions.

“No picky eating!”

Seeing Jiang Li not wanting to eat but not daring to refuse, and swallowing the greasy fat with a frown on his face, Xie Changan showed a faint smile on his face.

What he didn't know at that time was that some things, once they happened for the first time, would happen countless times.

After dinner, Xie Changan took her to the guest room: "I'll wait for you in the front hall."

A set of men's clothes had been prepared on the bed. Jiang Li put on the clothes and put on the mask.

For convenience, she always covered her chest when on duty, so her figure was not visible when she wore men's clothes, and she looked like a boy of thirteen or fourteen years old.

Xie Changan also changed into casual clothes, a black robe with arrow sleeves and his black hair tied up high. He looked less evil and more handsome than when he wore the Feiyu suit.

Jiang Li walked in with a swagger: "How is it? Does it look like a man?"

She was wearing men's clothes and looked like a very handsome young man.

Xie Changan smiled slightly: "Let's go."

The carriage from the mansion took them to the East Market. Before Xie Changan got off the carriage, he took out a mask and put it on.

As soon as it gets dark, all the lights in the East Market are turned on. The lights are dim and there are many tourists.

All kinds of lanterns were hung up, including rabbit lanterns, carp lanterns, ingot lanterns, revolving lanterns... Jiang Li was dazzled by the sight.

Especially a revolving lantern, on which several generals riding horses and holding weapons were painted. The characters were lifelike, and when it rotated, it looked as if the generals were chasing and fighting each other on horseback.

Jiang Li stared at it intently.

The lamp seller smiled and said, "Young Master, do you like this? I'll give you a discount of fifty cents."

Jiang Li had no idea about the money in the mortal world, and was about to take out money when he heard this.

Xie Changan pointed at a rat lantern and said, "I want that one."

His imposing manner was so intimidating that the lamp seller did not dare to name his price and only accepted five cents.

Xie Changan handed the rat lantern to Jiang Li: "Here."

Jiang Li pouted and took it: "Other people's lanterns are so beautiful, why can I only hold a rat lantern?"

Xie Changan said with a smile: "Don't you know that Yin Jiu and the others call you Rat Spirit behind your back? A Rat Spirit holding a Rat Lamp is just right."

Jiang Li was furious: "I'll settle the score with them tomorrow!"

She passed the peddlers' colorful stalls and couldn't walk anymore.

There were all kinds of novel gadgets on the stall. She looked at this and touched that. She was curious about everything and wanted to buy everything.

Xie Changan smiled slightly: "There are food for sale over there."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up as expected, and she followed him forward.

There are food stalls of all sizes in the night market, selling candied haws, glutinous rice balls, and wontons. Various aromas are mixed together, and the air is filled with the hot smell of fireworks.

Jiang Li was extremely excited, her big watery eyes were as bright as the stars in the sky.

Seeing her excited face, Xie Changan was also infected by her good mood, and his eyes became more gentle as he looked at her.

"What to eat?"

She wants to eat everything.

She ate a bowl of sesame dumplings at this stall and a bowl of wontons at that stall. Then she saw there was roasted lamb and wanted to eat some more.

Xie Changan had a headache, but she was not afraid of overeating herself to death.

“Do you want to release river lanterns?” he asked.

"Yes!" The curious baby followed immediately.

River lanterns are for deceased relatives. People write words of mourning on the lanterns and let them drift in the water, hoping that their thoughts will be conveyed to their relatives in another world.

Jiang Li couldn't help but feel moved.

Xie Changan took two river lanterns and asked her, "How many do you want?"

Jiang Li said sadly: "I want two too."

Xie Changan was a little surprised. Who else should she give it to besides her biological mother Fang Yi?

He released river lanterns for his parents, but Jiang Li released one for Fang Yi, and then wrote on another lantern, "Master, I am fine, please don't worry."

"Your master, he's gone?"

"Yeah." Jiang Li's nose felt sore.

Being in a different world is no different from not being there anymore.

I hope the master in another world can receive her greetings.

"What a pity! Your master must be a rare genius."

Jiang Li was afraid of letting the cat out of the bag, so he didn't want to talk more and changed the subject.

"Sir, are you lighting the lantern for your parents?"

"Yeah." Xie Changan's expression was indifferent.

"Just from your name, I know that your parents must love you very much. Chang'an, they hope you will live long and peacefully and happily."

Xie Changan inexplicably felt that the word "Changan" sounded particularly nice when it came from her mouth.

"gone back already?"

"Do not."

Jiang Li hadn’t had enough fun after finally getting out.

There were pleasure boats by the river, and Jiang Li was clamoring to take a boat ride, so Xie Changan rented a small pleasure boat and took her on a boat ride on the river.

The moonlight was just right at this time. Xie Changan sat at the bow of the boat and drank by himself, letting the boat drift with the water.

Jiang Li also wanted to taste the wine, but Xie Changan wouldn't let her.

"No drinking, little girl."

Jiang Li had no choice but to lie on the window and watch the river lanterns floating down the river.

The water surface was sparkling and the melodious singing of a singer could be heard from the neighboring boat.

"What a beautiful day, beautiful scenery, all the flowers are in full bloom..."

Jiang Li sighed softly.

Xie Changan said: "Everything is fine, why are you sighing?"

Jiang Li said: "I want to leave the palace."

She wanted to walk in this world honestly and live a free life.

Xie Changan sneered, "How difficult is that? You can burn down the cold palace and just treat Concubine Yu as dead. With your Qinggong, there is no place in the world you can't go."

Jiang Li's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"

Xie Changan smiled slightly: "Under my nose, you naturally have to ask about my knife."

Jiang Li said in frustration: "Then wait until I can beat you first."
