Early in the morning, Li Quan put on plain clothes and went to the inner courtyard.

Driven by the breeze, the newly added red lanterns on the ancient pine branches waved to Li Quan.

"It's like a holiday!" Li Quan stretched his waist with emotion, "Wan Qing, have you packed it up, let's go shopping!"

"I'm coming!"

"Master Li, the Han family sent an invitation card, sir, please attend the banquet at Tianshui Pavilion tonight!"

Fang Da rushed in from the outside with great enthusiasm, holding a book of invitations with red paper and gold borders in his hand, his old face was full of excitement and disbelief.

It is indeed incredible.

In Fang Da's heart, although Master Li is a county magistrate, his status in the entire Qing Dynasty is quite different from that of the Han family.After all, he is not Lord Liu, and has no literary status in the Qing Dynasty.On that day, the water pavilion was a place only for literati and inkmen. If you have no skills, it will be used no matter how big your official is.

But now, the Han family actually personally sent someone to notify Mr. Li to attend the dinner, which shows how much the Han family attaches great importance to the county magistrate.

Although he wasn't the one who invited him, Fang Da felt that he had gained a little bit of glory with the county magistrate.

Li Quan was fine, he calmly responded and took Mu Wanqing to leave.

"Candied haws! Big and sweet candied haws! Come and have a look! You can guess lantern riddles without buying candied haws!"

The streets of Quxi County are really lively. Not only are there more red lanterns hanging at the door of each house, but even the small vendors selling on the street are working harder than before.

Among the crowd, there are obviously more talented people with feathered hair and long towels, and beauties who are growing lotus every step of the way, and there are many new faces among them.

The child had already spent all his lucky money, looking at the ruby-like candied haws and drooling.

Xiao Xiao, who was a little older, approached the peddler: "Uncle, what are your lantern riddles? If I guess correctly, you can give me a set."

The peddler laughed loudly: "Haha, how many of you yellow-haired boys still want to eat free food? You can also guess the lantern riddle?"

"Tell me, uncle! How will you know if you don't try?" A group of children shouted happily.

"Okay, okay, listen up. My lantern riddle is 36 hours, type a word, I want to go."

"36 hours?"

A group of children frowned into hemp ropes, following behind the candied haws, discussing each other with each other.But they couldn't think of the answer until their heads ached, and all of them blushed anxiously.

Seeing the troubled faces of the little kids, the peddler laughed triumphantly.

The laughing sound didn't last long, and a voice came from beside him:

"In 36 hours, the answer is the word 'crystal' in 'crystal'."

The corner of the peddler's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look aside, only to see a dead skinned face looking at him with a heartless smile.

"I'm not wrong, am I?" Li Quan asked again with a smile.

The peddler looked unwilling, and whispered: "Yes...that's right."

"So should you give me a bunch of candied haws?"

The peddler took off a bunch of them and handed them to Li Quan with a dark face, as if he had cut a piece of his heart.

"Yes! It's a bad start, let's not say that one bunch was not sold, and I gave it away for nothing!"

Li Quan took the bright red candied haws, and a group of filial sons behind him followed the movement of the candied haws without batting an eyelid, dripping all over his body.

Li Quan smiled and handed the candied haws to a group of boys: "It's for you."

"Yeah!" A group of boys jumped up excitedly.The child with a slightly longer head said "thank you" to Li Quan politely, and asked why the answer was "Jing".

The child is well-behaved and sensible, Li Quan doesn't mind spending some time with him, and replied with a smile:

"Thirty-six hours are three days. Isn't the three days stacked together a 'crystal'?"

"Oh! That's how it is." The child suddenly realized.

At this time, several filial piety behind him were fighting for a bunch of candied haws. Li Quan was amused and said to the candied haws vendor:

"What other lantern riddles do you have? Tell me and I'll guess."

The peddler glanced at Li Quan vigilantly, and he knew that he was a knowledgeable person just by looking at his clothes. His expression changed, and he hid the candied haws behind his back:

"Guess what? No more! Lantern riddles are reserved for the night, so what if you finish the guessing by yourself? Let's go."

Li Quan didn't say much, turned his head and shouted to a group of boys: "Don't grab it, one for each person, otherwise no one will be allowed to eat."

Mu Wanqing then stepped forward and glanced at the children indifferently, thinking of something, there was a hint of longing in her eyes.Seeing that the peddler was about to carry the candied haws stand away, he hurriedly shouted:

"Store don't go."

"Say no..." The shopkeeper turned his head impatiently, just as he opened his mouth, he immediately smiled when he saw the copper plate in Mu Wanqing's hand, "Young master, you are..."

"Give them a string each."

Li Quan was a little surprised, and after walking a few steps, he asked, "Wan Qing, I've never seen you so caring before."

Mu Wanqing smiled lightly and shook her head: "Qing'er thinks a filial son is quite cute. It's a pity..."

There was a little more frustration in his eyes, and he rubbed his stomach with his little hands.

Li Quan also smiled and shook his head: "There is no rush for this matter. I really like it, but I have to work harder at night."

"Sanggong, why are you talking about this in broad daylight. I... I don't care!"

Mu Wanqing was shy and walked forward with big strides.

With a blushing face and a handsome appearance, I don't know how many young and beautiful girls stared sideways along the way.

"Wow! Who threw this?"

The crowd on the street suddenly became lively, no matter men, women, young or old, looked up, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

Li Quan looked at the expressions of the crowd and was about to raise his head when a pink and white lotus petal slipped past his eyelids, touched his eyelashes and landed quietly on the tip of Li Quan's nose.

The fragrance enters the nose, refreshing.

Li Quan took the petals from the tip of his nose, and before he could take a closer look, more petals fell from the sky.

The petals falling all over the sky are as gentle as spring rain, adding a layer of light pink to the sky.
