When Lin Yaoyao arrived at the main courtyard, Qu Manrong had already gone to bed. Dujuan and Chunlan were originally reluctant to take a holiday.

But Qu Manrong knew that they had families and they also wanted to celebrate the holiday with their families, so she forced them to take a day off.

At this moment, Xiaotao was the only one guarding the yard, and there was no one else.

Seeing Lin Yaoyao coming, Xiaotao immediately went forward to greet her.

"Miss, why are you here?"

"How is my mother?"

"Madam has just fallen asleep."

"Then let her continue to sleep. I won't disturb her for now! Here, this is the big red envelope that the old lady and I gave you."

Lin Yaoyao took out two red envelopes.

One was given by the old lady, and contained a silver ingot of two taels; the other was prepared by Lin Yaoyao, and contained a silver note of fifty taels.

She has seen Xiaotao's performance these days and she thinks she is indeed a promising person.

If she had not been born into such a family, she would not have been reduced to selling herself into slavery.

Xiaotao happily took the red envelope and bowed to Lin Yaoyao quickly.

"Thank you, young lady, for your kindness and thank you, old lady, for your kindness!"

Lin Yaoyao quickly asked her to get up.

"By the way, when my mother came back, did you notice anything unusual about her?"

Xiaotao thought about it for a moment and then shook her head.

"I didn't notice anything unusual. If there is anything different, it's probably because Madam has been out.

When Madam came back, I saw that she was holding a string of candied haws in her hand, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

She looks much better than this morning, so I guess Madam must be happy."

Lin Yaoyao said, "I understand," and asked Xiaotao to continue guarding outside the room.

In fact, her heart was already in turmoil, and she couldn't help but complain secretly.

She didn't notice it for a moment. How did her father and mother, two people who were not very familiar with each other, get together?

And they are so familiar with each other that they can even go shopping together?

Not only did they go shopping together, they also bought a bunch of candied haws, but there was no share for her, their daughter...

I feel a pang of sadness~

She didn't say how much she liked eating candied haws, nor did she say that she didn't agree with the two of them being together.

How could these two people go out without telling her and even forget to buy her a string of candied haws?

acid.

very sour.

Just like her parents before her, she is no longer their favorite little darling!

The general idea was that he could see what she was thinking. Originally, the two of them were planning to return to the courtyard, but Feng Nanchen suddenly took her and flew out of the mansion.

I have to say, the feeling of flying in the sky is really extraordinary. It is much faster than moving on her own two legs.

Just seeing the sudden change of direction, Lin Yaoyao felt a little puzzled and looked at Feng Nanchen with slight surprise.

However, he did not explain anything, but continued to take Lin Yaoyao in one direction.

When they arrived at the place, Lin Yaoyao stood firmly on the ground again. She finally knew where Feng Nanchen had taken her.

They landed on the upper floor of Fumanlou; they couldn't just land on the street.

What's more, it's a man and a woman, which always makes people have wild thoughts.

Although the man was unmarried and the woman was unmarried, taking into account the strict separation of men and women at that time and for Lin Yaoyao's reputation, Feng Nanchen took her to Fumanlou first.

Even though his own reputation wasn't very good to begin with, one or two more rumors wouldn't matter.

But he doesn't want Lin Yaoyao to be like himself.

He didn't want Lin Yaoyao to hear the rumors about him.

Even if those things are actually false.

But he couldn't explain it clearly for a while.

Fumanlou is located on the most prosperous street in the entire capital.

In fact, strictly speaking, Yihongyuan is the most central location.

But he still felt that it would be better for Lin Yaoyao, a girl who had not yet reached marriage age, to go to Yihongyuan less often.

"Feng Nanchen, why did you bring me here?"

"Take you shopping."

"shop?"

"Well, please have some candied haws."

Lin Yaoyao did not listen carefully to his answer. She had already been attracted by the hustle and bustle on the street downstairs.

"Wow, I thought everyone was celebrating at home today, but I didn't expect Yuqing Street to be so lively on New Year's Eve?"

"This is your first New Year's Eve in the capital. You may not understand that the more festive the festival, the busier the streets in the capital will be.

It's not just so lively today, it will be so lively all the way until the Lantern Festival.

This tradition has been passed down since the founding of the country.

The emperor’s uncle’s birthday falls during the Spring Festival. In order to share the joy with the people, officials are sent to decorate the entire capital every year during the Spring Festival.

There will be fireworks set off by the moat tonight, and there will also be a night market along the moat, which will make it even more lively.”

Lin Yaoyao's eyes became brighter the more she listened. She wished it would be night immediately so she could go to the moat to watch the fireworks show.

There were very few entertainments in ancient times, and it was rare to have a lively occasion. How could she miss it?

She now even finds it strange to watch sows fighting, let alone such a large-scale free performance.

"It's so lively? I didn't even hear a sound!"

"You stay at home every day and have never interacted with the girls from the noble families in Beijing. It's normal that you haven't heard of these things."

It’s actually no wonder that she doesn’t like to go out!

There are only so many places to go when you go out, and shopping becomes less fun when she goes alone.

She wanted to find Yu Shengyan to go with her, but she also had her own things to do. She couldn't always be with her, right?

It's okay to go out occasionally, but if it happens too often, she won't be interested anymore.

Today is a good day, it would be nice to go out for a walk!

"Then I must go out for a walk tonight!"

Feng Nanchen didn't say anything, but asked someone to bring a veil over.

"Come on, I'll go with you and take a look around. There should be a lot of circus performances on the street during the day."

Lin Yaoyao immediately became interested.

But when Feng Nanchen handed her the veil, she was still quite confused and didn't understand why she should wear this thing?

She doesn't wear it when she goes out on weekdays, and she hasn't seen many people wearing it, right?

"There are a lot of people on the street today, so it's safer to wear it. Especially if you're following me, more eyes might be on you."

Lin Yaoyao subconsciously wanted to say to him: Why don’t you just stop following me?

But I thought that after all, they brought me here, and it would not be nice to abandon them now.

She obediently took the veil and put it on.

Feng Nanchen actually has his own selfish motives.

He was afraid that other people would see Lin Yaoyao's look and become interested in her. What if someone else came to propose marriage first?

His reputation is not very good, and if their family backgrounds are equal, he obviously does not have the upper hand.

In front of the person he likes, he always subconsciously becomes less confident.
