"What did you say?" Banxian'er could no longer maintain her composure. She got up and pulled Li Yinyin to check her over. When she saw that she was alright, she breathed a sigh of relief and said with a serious face, "If it's not something important, then don't think about it anymore."

“But if it’s a matter of life and death,” Li Yinyin glanced suggestively toward the village, “Master, I can’t help it even if I don’t want to!”

The fortune teller said with a cold face, "Then we'll talk about it when we can."

"Right now, your teacher also has something to discuss with you."

"What?" Li Yinyin turned her head and saw Banxian'er's not-so-clean hands. She was stunned for a moment and looked at her cloak.

Okay, it's already stained.

“Master,” Li Yinyin said, pointing to the cloak, “as compensation, will you teach me something new?”

"Alright," the fortune teller smiled, and pressed Li Yinyin down to sit on the big rock. "Let's wash this thing out first, and I'll teach you something new!"

After a hard afternoon of work, Li Yinyin regretted it. Who says learning something new means washing a stone and then having to learn how to carefully grind off the outer skin?

Oh, it's me, this unlucky little thing!

So, this New Year's Eve vigil is spent directly guarding a stone, right?

Li Yinyin finally lay down on the bed, staring at the top of the tent, thinking that this year was just so-so: "From the last day of the year to the first day of the Lunar New Year, I've been busy all year. I guess I'm destined to be a workaholic all year long!"

There's some truth to the old sayings. Take Li Yinyin, for example. After wishing her sister-in-law and master a happy new year, she was dragged around a stone by her master.

It wasn't until the Flower Festival that Li Yinyin remembered Niu Niu's selection of a goddess. Based on her earlier promise to go and support Niu Niu, Li Yinyin finally managed to get a day off from the fortune teller.

Stepping out of the courtyard gate and gazing at the vibrant colors of spring outside, Li Yinyin finally realized that springtime truly couldn't be more beautiful. No one should waste springtime!

Because she left late, and the village chief's family had already left, she could only travel by carriage to the Goddess Temple under the protection of her family's servants.

Actually, the selection of goddesses was almost over on the day of the Little Flower Festival, and the Big Flower Festival on the fifteenth was the day when goddesses would go out to dress up as goddesses.

Li Yinyin arrived late and couldn't squeeze to the front, so she had the carriage stopped on a high place so she could stand on the carriage shaft and see. After all, she had the ability to see far and wide, and could see clearly no matter how far away she was.

Li Niu Niu was one of the chosen people, but not the one in the lead. As the deputy, her position was also quite close to the front, and she quickly saw Li Yin Yin, who was standing higher up. After the ritual of worshipping the gods was completed properly, she came over to her.

"Yinyin, you've been so busy these days, I thought you weren't coming."

"I promised you, how could I not come?" Li Yinyin got off the carriage, looked her up and down for a while, and praised, "You look really beautiful today!"

“That’s right,” Niu Niu proudly raised her chin, “If I weren’t so bad at needlework, who knows who would be the goddess leading the way today!”

Before Li Yinyin could speak, a young man beside her replied, "The young lady truly deserves the title of champion."

The two young ladies were startled and looked over there, where they saw two young men dressed in brocade robes. Both were quite handsome, and the one in front looked at Niu Niu with eyes full of admiration and affection.

Li Yinyin raised an eyebrow slightly and mentally calculated Niu Niu's birth chart, discovering that Niu Niu was indeed experiencing a lucky day, with her destined partner arriving.

He immediately leaned back, letting Niu Niu and that young master talk.

In just a few words, Niu Niu turned around and took Li Yinyin's hand, whispering, "Yinyin, Young Master Zhao said that the peach blossoms outside the Goddess Temple are in full bloom and invited us to go and admire them together."

"Are you inviting us or just you?" Li Yinyin didn't want to go, but she was being held by the hand and couldn't leave, so she had no choice but to ask, "Have you taken a liking to it?"

“It’s just a walk,” Li Niuniu said. “He’s the kind of guy I like.”

Li Yinyin understood; these were two people who judged each other by their looks, and they had their eyes on each other.

She sighed, "Alright then, I'll send someone to leave a message for Uncle Village Chief and the others."

"Yinyin, thank goodness you're here."

Li Niu Niu was deeply moved, but in the blink of an eye, she became increasingly engrossed in chatting with Young Master Zhao, leaving Li Yin Yin and another young master behind.

Fortunately, she had a maidservant with her, so Li Yinyin didn't feel embarrassed.

However, this young man surnamed Tong blushed and looked at Li Yinyin several times before finally mustering the courage to speak to her: "Miss Yinyin, do you also live in Shangshui Village?"

After Li Yinyin nodded, he continued, "Like Brother Zhao, I am from Baihua Town. However, my family also owns quite a few properties in Yunzhou. The silver shop on the main street of Yunzhou belongs to my family."

"Tongji Silver Shop?" Li Yinyin looked up at him, only to find that he seemed even more nervous, his back ramrod straight. When their eyes met, he quickly looked away.

This look...

Li Yinyin resisted the urge to touch her face; her charm was as undiminished as ever!

"Yes," Young Master Tong replied again, "Does Miss Yinyin know?"

“I’ve been there,” Li Yinyin said, trying to appear less arrogant. “The newly opened fabric shop next to Tongji is my family’s property.”

"Li's Cloth Shop?" Young Master Tong clearly knew about it too. "What a coincidence! I saw Brother Li at the beginning of last year, but I haven't run into him much this year. I remember he has a younger sister, could it be you?"

Knowing that it was an acquaintance from a roundabout way, Young Master Tong was even more pleased: "It's been a while since I've seen Brother Li. I wonder how he's been lately? If I have some free time, I might pay him a visit?"

Li Yinyin quickly replied, "My brother is busy with his business outside and isn't home."

"I see," Young Master Tong said without any regret, and continued to ask, "I've heard that Shangshui Village is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. Brother Zhao and I are both interested in visiting it. Perhaps we could invite Miss Yinyin to accompany us?"

Li Yinyin didn't respond to his comment: "If Young Master Zhao is coming along, my cousin will probably be quite free, so I won't join in the fun."

At this point, Young Master Tong showed a hint of disappointment. But before he could say anything more, someone behind a nearby tree said, "Isn't this Sister Yinyin? You've also come to the Goddess Temple to pray for blessings? And who is this?"

Mu Xianyun?

Li Yinyin blinked, finding the wariness and aversion towards Young Master Tong on his face rather strange.

It's raining red rain from the sky? Even the reborn Mu Xianyun couldn't keep a straight face!
