"..." Lu Mingyun pursed his lips and stopped talking nonsense. "There is only one bridge over the Xiao River. There will be many lights on it, which will be very conspicuous. If you look carefully, you will find it."

"learn!"

Just after the hour of Xu, Lu Mingyun went out at the urging of Li Mofu. Mo Yi drove, and Guozi and Mozhu followed them.

Along the way, Li Mofu had already mentioned all the snacks he wanted to eat. Lu Mingyun kindly reminded him that the food cooked by vendors who suddenly appeared during festivals like this was not tasty, and if he wanted to eat, he should find those vendors who already had their own shops.

However, Li Mofu probably didn't listen.

When they arrived near Xiaojiang River, Mo Yi stopped the carriage. Going further in, there was a dense crowd of people and it was not suitable for driving.

"Let's go!" Li Mofu said excitedly.

He could see the lights along the river from a distance. Many people were passing by in the carriage, almost everyone holding a lantern, and they were gathering little by little. Because people were still arriving, he could tell by the brightness of the lights where the aisle was and where the lanterns would be released.

"Don't be anxious. This is not the Lantern Festival in Beijing. There are not so many lights and the roadside is still very dark. Don't get lost." Lu Mingyun said with a frown.

"I know, Guozi, let's go first!" Li Mofu pulled Guozi forward, Lu Mingyun and Mo Zhu followed, and Mo Yi walked at the end.

Walking down the stairs from the roadside to the riverside, Li Mofu was surrounded by many people. Most of them were from the same village, or men and women who knew each other walking together. Of course, there were also many families traveling together.

The most popular business along the river is selling river lanterns, most of which are in the shape of lotus flowers, but in different colors. There are also lantern-like ones with orchids and plum blossoms painted on them.

"Guozi, let's go buy two!" Li Mofu joined in the fun.

Guozi looked back and nodded when he saw Lu Mingyun and Mo Zhu following behind him. "Of course, sir, what kind do you like?"

"I like the yellow lotus, it's the same color as gold." Li Mofu said happily.

“…”Fruit.

When Li Mofu and the vendor were buying river lanterns, several sisters gathered nearby to buy river lanterns. While they were choosing, they were also talking about their marriage plans.

"How's the marriage that the matchmaker introduced to you last time?" a woman asked.

"Well, what else can we do?" The woman in question gave a wry smile. "We were actually quite pleased with that family. The matchmaker invited their family to our house to see the bride, but they left without even having tea."

"Ah? Doesn't that mean they look down on you?" the woman who asked the question said, "But you're pretty, so how could that be?"

"What else can we do? He must look down on our family and thinks we are poor." The sister of the woman being questioned snorted.

The woman who asked the question sighed, "The matchmaker had introduced me to a family before, and they praised the man to the highest praise. But when my mother went to visit him, there wasn't even a place to sit."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's a rare holiday, and maybe I'll have the chance to meet my ideal man today." The woman who was being questioned interrupted the topic and said with a small smile.

"I just saw the third son of the Lin family. He looked so handsome sitting on the boat." said the younger sister of the woman being questioned.

The woman who was asking the question sighed and said in a lower voice, "Let's not talk about whether the Lin family would be interested in girls from ordinary families. The third young master Lin is so weak. I'm afraid that after marrying him, he will be a widow in just a few years!"

"If Mr. Lin San was in better health, he would have married and had children long ago, and it wouldn't be our turn to discuss this. What a pity," said the woman being questioned.

"That's right, Mr. Lin San is good-looking, kind, and comes from a wealthy family..."

The three women bought river lanterns and left while whispering about their private matters, while Li Mofu was still eavesdropping on the vendors with his ears perked up.

"...Young Master, it's time for us to leave." Guozi pulled Li Mofu and said.
