Although the candied haws were sour, they were quite good with the syrup skin. However, every time I took a bite, I felt so sour that I shivered, as if it was a vibrator. In the end, I still didn’t finish it and gave the fruit away.

Just as Li Mofu was walking along the river towards the bridge, he saw a bright spot behind the brightly lit Xiaosha Bridge.

The bright spot is located on the top of a mountain not far away. If you look closely, there seems to be a human figure standing there, as if in a dream.

"Guozi, what place is that?" Li Mofu asked curiously, pointing at the light.

Guozi was working hard on a string of sweet and sour candied haws when she heard Li Mofu's words. "Oh! Are you talking about that building on the mountain? Mozhu told me that it's the owner of a large bank in Su County. They live on the top of Jinming Mountain. Their surname is Qian, and they're from that famous wealthy merchant family."

"They have a bank in Su County, but it's not in the street market you often visit, so you haven't seen it."

"The owner of the money bank, a definitely rich man." Li Mofu stared at the bright spot for a long time with a squinting look in his eyes, wondering if there was a basement under the yard of the owner of the money bank, with all kinds of gold, silver and treasures hidden in the basement?

Guozi saw Li Mofu shaking his head helplessly.

Li Mofu's fantasies didn't last long. After all, his neck was aching from looking up at the mountain all the time. So he looked away and said, "I wonder if your young master made a killing during the snowstorm. They must be covered in fat."

"I don't know about this fruit." said Guozi.

Soon, the two of them walked onto the elegant wind and rain bridge.

The bridge is well built, spacious and sturdy. Many vendors selling lanterns hang lanterns on the window beams of the wind and rain bridge, which looks very beautiful at first glance.

"Your young master said to wait for him here. How long will we have to wait?" Li Mofu muttered as he walked past the groups of people sitting down.

Sitting on the chair in the pavilion, you can look up to see the distant mountains, look down to see the flowing water, and behind you is the quaint scenery of the bridge.

"It will be quick. We are holding the lanterns, and the young master will notice us if he pays a little attention." Guozi said as he placed the river lantern aside.

Under the bridge over the river, a lantern stand was built, and many people lined up to release river lanterns there. A tiny bit of light separated from the crowd, was released into the river, and floated down the river.

Because there were lighthouses on both sides of the river, the lights that drifted away moved little by little, and then gathered on the calm river surface. For a moment, the Xiao River looked like a galaxy.

Although I saw it while walking along the river, it was not as beautiful as the one from the bridge.

The dinner breeze blew, bringing a refreshing feeling but also bringing a problem to Li Mofu: what kind of blessing should he write later?

Peace, happiness, and wear it back?

I feel like I've written a lot of this kind of prayer since the Chinese New Year. It's like a cutscene, or one of the few wishes of an NPC.

Guozi also thought the scenery was beautiful. Strings of lights spread across the river from both sides and then flowed downwards, like stars falling from the sky.

That feeling of happiness and excitement comes naturally.

Guozi happily looked at Li Mofu who was sitting next to him, but what caught his eye was Li Mofu's expression with his chin supported and not quite smiling. He looked at the river with his side face, as if his thoughts had drifted away with the river lanterns.

"Young Master?" Guozi called out.

Li Mofu came back to his senses and looked at him, "Huh? What's wrong?"

"Are you tired, sir?" Guozi asked.

"No, I'm just thinking about what kind of blessing I should write later." Li Mofu said honestly.

"Wouldn't it be better to write something about happiness and well-being?" said Guozi.

Li Mofu pursed his lips, "It's so boring to always write about that. It's too ordinary."

"...But if the wish can really come true, that would be the best." Guozi said in a low voice.

Li Mofu was stunned for a moment, then sighed, "That's true."

At this moment, the spectators on the bridge exclaimed in surprise, and then began to whisper to each other, with laughter in between.
