The White-haired Queen

Chapter 105 Going Out Empty-handed

The more Wen Lanyue spoke, the more surprised she was at her memories of the original owner. She actually discovered that all of the original owner's consciousness had entered her mind intact. Those memories were playing before her eyes like a movie, and every scene was so clear that she felt as if she were there.

Seeing this, Gu Changfeng invited her, "Yue'er, tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why don't we go to Lanyue Lake again? I'm sure it will be very lively there." His eyes revealed great sincerity.

Wen Lanyue stared into Gu Changfeng's eyes, feeling his sincerity, and readily agreed, "Okay!"

Gu Changfeng then asked, "Should we go there by carriage, or fly directly?" His words were full of anticipation.

Wen Lanyue answered without hesitation: "Of course I'll fly! Now that I have regained the ability to fly, I naturally have to show it off." Her face was filled with confidence and excitement.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng was overjoyed and immediately reached out his hand, gently holding Wen Lanyue's hand, and said gently: "Are you ready?"

Wen Lanyue smiled and nodded, indicating that she was ready.

Gu Changfeng responded softly, "Okay, let's go!" As soon as the words fell, the two of them soared into the sky together. Only the whistling sound of the wind could be heard in their ears, and their figures gradually moved away and disappeared into the sky.

Lanyue Lake is not far from the palace. The two used their Qinggong skills to leap between the eaves and walls as if walking on flat ground and finally reached their destination. The Mid-Autumn Festival should be a time for family reunion and sharing family happiness, but the small vendors by the lake are still very busy.

There are vendors selling all kinds of masks, colorful lanterns, exquisitely made sugar paintings, fragrant sachets, and a wide variety of jewelry. Wen Lanyue looked at the scene in front of her and sighed in her heart: "No matter which dynasty you live in, it is not easy for people engaged in small businesses! When others are enjoying their holidays, it is precisely their busiest peak season."

Wen Lanyue held Gu Changfeng's hand tightly, walked directly to the mask stand, carefully selected a cute rabbit head mask, then turned to Gu Changfeng and said, "I like this rabbit head mask very much. Brother Changfeng, do you have a favorite style? Pick one and try it out."

Gu Changfeng smiled and replied: "Let Yue'er pick one for me."

Wen Lanyue picked up a tiger-head-shaped mask and asked him, "Brother Changfeng, what do you think of this?"

Gu Changfeng responded gently: "As long as Yue'er likes it, I will be happy."

Wen Lanyue said in a tender voice, "Oh, then this one." After that, she gently picked up the rabbit head mask and carefully put it on her face. Her beautiful eyes under the mask sparkled with excitement, and she smiled softly, "Then Brother Changfeng, you pay."

Gu Changfeng subconsciously reached out his hand and touched his arms, but found nothing. He then remembered that the guards were responsible for paying the bills on weekdays, and he had no habit of carrying money with him. Faced with this dilemma, he could only smile helplessly and spread his hands awkwardly.

Seeing this, Wen Lanyue pouted her lips slightly, spread her hands helplessly, and muttered, "I don't have any money either." Then, she had an idea and said jokingly, "Fortunately we are not buying food, otherwise we would be eating and free dining!" After that, Wen Lanyue was about to return the mask to the vendor.

The vendor was sharp-eyed and could tell at a glance that the two people were dressed brightly and beautifully, and their temperaments were outstanding. They were definitely not from ordinary families. He immediately smiled and said attentively: "If you two guests really like it, you may take it first and come back to pay tomorrow."

When Wen Lanyue heard this, she thought to herself: This vendor is quite good at doing business. For her, who studies finance, doing business requires being flexible and adaptable. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but have a little more admiration for the vendor.

Wen Lanyue then reached up and gently pulled out a delicate hairpin. She handed it to the vendor and said, "This hairpin will be used as collateral. If someone comes to redeem it tomorrow, you can return it. If no one comes, then the hairpin will be yours. What do you think of this arrangement?"

The vendor carefully took the hairpin and examined it carefully. He was surprised to find that it was engraved with the unique mark of Liuwen Pavilion. He immediately realized that the hairpin was very valuable, far more than the price of the mask he was selling, and hurriedly said, "Miss, your hairpin is too valuable. I'm afraid it is not worth the price of my small mask! Is this really appropriate?"

Wen Lanyue smiled slightly and responded calmly: "If you feel it is inappropriate, you can go to Liuwen Pavilion in person with this hairpin tomorrow and ask the shopkeeper there to pay the money for the mask you deserve."

After hearing this, the peddler was secretly delighted and hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you for your trust, young lady. I will do as you say." While carefully putting the hairpin away, he secretly felt fortunate to have met such a generous and magnanimous person today.

After the two left the mask stall, Gu Changfeng looked at Wen Lanyue with a teasing smile on his face, and deliberately joked, "Yue'er is really generous. Aren't you afraid that he will take the hairpin and run away? That would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog - there's no way back! Hahahahaha..."

Wen Lanyue smiled and replied calmly, "It's just what I want, as long as I like it. If he runs away, then he runs away. It's not worth it for me to report to the government or go to the sea to arrest him. It's just a jade hairpin, how much is it worth? I don't care about this little money at all! In life, happiness is the most important thing~"

Her tone was relaxed and natural, as if she didn't care about the expense just now.

After hearing this, Gu Changfeng couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a great way to do whatever you want. Just do what you like." He seemed to be quite touched by Wen Lanyue's attitude.

Then, the two walked to the shore together. Wen Lanyue waved to the boatman unconsciously, signaling them to come over. Seeing this, Gu Changfeng couldn't help but laugh and teased, "What is Yue'er going to use as collateral this time?"

Wen Lanyue was stunned at first, but then she understood. She and Gu Changfeng didn't bring any money, but the boatman had already arrived in front of them.

However, Wen Lanyue did not show any panic, but showed a carefree attitude. She said calmly: "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. Let's get on the boat first and think of a solution later." After that, she boarded the boat without hesitation, appearing very calm and composed.
