Flying Clouds in Another World

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, go to see the lanterns and meet handsome men and beautiful women!

The Lantern Festival in Changluo City is naturally much more lively and larger in scale than that in Anping County.

Liu Feiyun also knew that the Lantern Festival in this other world also played a role in the Magpie Bridge Society.

Although marriages in this world also rely on the words of matchmakers and the orders of parents, they are not as conservative as the ancient Xia Dynasty in another time and space.

At least, young men and women can meet and chat before they enter into a formal marriage contract, so it is not the case that they have never even met before getting married.

As for free love, although it is not mainstream, it is not uncommon, especially among the upper classes who are either rich or noble.

When two families want to marry, they want to form an alliance of interests. Even if the man and woman in the marriage don't want to have true love, at least they can't be incompatible with each other! If they can't be in love with each other, one of them needs to make emotional sacrifices.

If a man and a woman who are in an arranged marriage hastily get married because they do not know each other and then develop hatred for each other, then their marriage will not only fail to become a bond between the two families, but will also become the root cause of the rupture and even confrontation and hatred between the families.

The Lantern Festival on the 15th is a grand matchmaking event for young men and women to get to know each other.

Changluo City is so big and has so many people, so there are naturally countless venues for holding lantern festivals. Ordinary people have their own places to go, and the rich have their own places to enjoy themselves.

At this moment, Liu Feiyun was at a loss as to which venue to go to and who to travel with.

"Logically, I should go to the main venue in the North City to meet more nobles of the time! But I'm afraid that if I really go there, few people will pay attention to me! If I go to the main venue in the South City, I'm afraid that the Eighth Prince will say that I don't know how to appreciate it! Alas! Even if I go to the North City, I can't expect the Eighth Prince and the Eleventh Princess to introduce me to a few princesses and counties! As for others, I don't know them well either! Big sister! What do you think I should do!"

"Tsk! Princesses and princesses! You can't even handle an unpopular girl in a duke's family, and you're still coveting princesses and princesses! Don't you see what kind of person you are and what kind of reputation our father has! You don't have to go to Beicheng! I don't think the Eighth Prince will care too much about a dispensable person like you! Just follow me to Tianyuan Square and take a look. It can be regarded as an explanation to the old man! Besides, there are no fewer beauties in Tianyuan Square than in Beicheng. If you don't have the courage to pursue that He Qingqing, you might as well give up! I'll ask someone to introduce you to a few who are well-matched with our family, so you can pick whatever you want! How about it!"

Liu Feiyun smiled helplessly, but then he did not forget to let his elder sister worry too: "Eldest sister! Actually, my matter is not urgent! It's you! I'm afraid that my mother has written to urge you again! Otherwise, the old man would not come forward to mention this matter in person! I say, elder sister! What's the matter with you? Do you really want to be a single noble for life? Or do you have someone in your heart, but you are afraid that your family will not agree? Don't worry! I am not your second uncle, I will not do anything to break up a couple! As long as you like him and he is sincere to you! I will be your strong backing! Even if my parents object!"

"Just you! You can't even handle your own business! And you still want to help me! I think you'd better forget it!"

Liu Qianqian said as if she was moved but not sure.

Liu Feiyun suddenly realized, "There really is such a person! Tell me, who is he? Could he be another enemy of our father? It can't be so ridiculous! Is the story of Romeo and Juliet going to happen to you, big sister? What should I do? I have no choice but to let you do it first and ask for permission later. You can go back to see your parents after you give birth to the child! By then, the rice has been cooked, and they will have no choice but to accept it! Oh, oh, oh! It hurts! Big sister! Old sister! Dear sister! Can't I just say I was wrong? My ears are really going to be twisted off!"

After a while, although Liu Qianqian let go, she still glared at Liu Feiyun with embarrassment and annoyance.

Liu Feiyun no longer dared to talk nonsense, and smiled cautiously: "Big sister! Even if he is the son of an enemy, as long as he is sincere to you! I will definitely help you achieve your wish! But, if he has no interest in you... forget it! Change someone!"

"You bastard... How dare you talk nonsense... You... Alas!... You and I are really siblings!... Even our fates are almost the same!... You don't dare to confess, and I am also guilty! You don't know whether she will refuse, and how can I guess what he is thinking!..."

As she spoke, Liu Qianqian's anger towards Liu Feiyun gradually turned into sympathy.

After a moment of silence, Liu Feiyun suddenly burst out laughing and said, "Haha! It's a pity that the old man always praises us as the most capable of the younger generation in the family! But we are just a pair of useless people who only know how to complain about ourselves! Perhaps, this is what the old master always said: bystanders see clearly, while those involved are confused!"

"Onlookers see things more clearly than those involved!?"

"That's right! Since those involved are confused and it's hard to break the situation, let the bystanders come up with some ideas! How about this! Big sister, you help me to chase your future sister-in-law, and I will help you to chase my future brother-in-law! Who knows! We may both be able to solve this mystery of love!"

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it’s here as promised!

It’s not even dark yet, but lanterns are already lit everywhere!

The streets are bustling with people!

Among them, young men and women are the majority.

They come in pairs or in groups, gathering and dispersing from time to time, moving back and forth among the lanterns and the crowd!

These are the girls and boys in their prime years! The girls are often dressed up and dazzling, and the boys are also mostly dressed up and handsome, and well-dressed.

These are just the girls and boys from ordinary families. As for the daughters and sons of wealthy families, most of them are decked out in jewels, fine clothes and jade belts, and they would like to have a note saying "I am a superior person" written on their foreheads.

Of course, since it is the majority, there are bound to be exceptions.

At this time, Liu Feiyun and Liu Qianqian, the man was wearing a blue Confucian robe, and the woman was wearing a plain dress, both were made of ordinary fabrics.

Liu Feiyun didn't have the habit of wearing fine clothes and jade belts. He would wear better clothes except when meeting some wealthy people he was not very familiar with in formal occasions. Usually, he would wear ordinary Confucian clothes or martial arts clothes. They were casual and durable, and really couldn't be said to be expensive.

Liu Qianqian usually has many business social events, so she rarely wears clothes made of ordinary fabrics. At this time, she took off her expensive jewelry and only put on light makeup.

He is completely different from usual.

The guards of the two men were hiding several feet away and following them closely.

Just looking at the way they are dressed, people who don’t know them would never guess that these two people come from wealthy families.

The two followed the crowd and slowly walked towards Tianyuan Square in the center of the south city.
