Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

During the Lantern Festival, Cui Qiyu and a few other children clamored to go outside to watch the lanterns, so the eldest lady asked Cui Qiyan to lead them there so that they could watch them better.

The old lady said from the side: "Sui'er and Yu'er have just returned to Beijing, and they haven't seen the lanterns in the capital for many years. Qi Yan, please send someone to pick them up."

"Yes, grandma." Cui Qiyan responded calmly.

Everyone present understood the old lady's intention. Cui Yalan joked: "Grandma is creating an opportunity for the eldest brother and the soon-to-be sister-in-law to get along."

The third lady glared at her daughter, "What do you, a kid, know?"

Cui Yalan curled her lips and said, "Mom, I'm already old enough to have hairpins, I'm not a child."

The fourth lady covered her mouth and chuckled, "Third sister-in-law, Yalan is right, we can no longer treat her as a child. It's time to arrange a marriage for her."

"Fourth aunt——" Cui Yalan's pretty face turned red.

The old lady laughed heartily and joked, "When Qi Yan's wedding is completed, it will be the fourth girl's turn."

Cui Yalan was shy and anxious. She rolled her eyes and used her own brother to rescue her.

"The next one should be the third brother..."

The old lady smiled and nodded, "No need to argue, you two brothers and sisters will handle the marriage together."

Cui Qihan looked at Cui Yalan helplessly, why bother bringing him in? He originally wanted to say that he had to prepare for next year's scientific examination and had no time to think about this. Finally, after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. Grandma was happy and let her go.

Cui Qiyu only wanted to go out and was not interested in what they were saying. He walked close to Cui Qiyan and said, "Brother, when are we leaving?"

Cui Qiyan stood up and said, "Grandma, I'll go make arrangements first."

"Go," the old lady warned, "Lamp

There are many people at the meeting, so protect them more, especially Sui'er. "

"Grandson understands."

After Cui Qiyan came out, he ordered Ji Bai to go to Qin's house to pick up Qin Fangsui and his sister. He turned around and returned to Chenglin Pavilion. After asking Bitao, he found Yunling in the study.

Yunling was arranging the bookshelf when she saw him coming in and quickly stopped what she was doing, "The Crown Prince is back. I will make tea for you."

"No need," Cui Qiyan stopped him, "Change your clothes and go to the lantern festival with me."

"Slave, can you not go?"

"What do you think?" Cui Qiyan narrowed his eyes. He just wanted to take her to see the lanterns together, but it was really irritating to see her avoiding him.

"Slave, please go change your clothes now."

When Yunling followed Cui Qiyan to the outside of the house, she realized that she had thought too much. There were three carriages parked outside the door, and the other young masters were also there, as well as... Miss Qin.

Qin Fangsui, who was talking to Cui Yalan, immediately smiled when he saw Cui Qiyan coming out, but when he noticed Yun Ling behind him, his smile did not fully bloom.

But it was only for a moment, and soon she stepped forward and said generously: "Thank you, Brother Yan, for inviting me to go to the lantern festival with Yu'er. I originally planned to come out and have a look, but I was suffering from no one to accompany me, so Brother Yan asked someone to go to the Lantern Festival with me." coming."

"Grandma ordered it," Cui Qiyan said casually. Seeing that everyone had arrived, he walked towards the horse at the front, "Let's go."

Yunling and other servants followed the carriage, and the group slowly moved towards the lantern festival.

When they arrived at the place, everyone abandoned their carriages and horses and started walking.

As soon as night fell, all kinds of lanterns were hung on the street, and it was bustling with people.

"Brother, there's a juggling act over there!" Cui Qi

Yu came out just to watch the vaudeville show.

Cui Qiyan saw his eagerness and warned: "Don't run around. Wait for everyone to pass together."

"Then hurry up, let's start." Cui Qiyu looked at the girls walking behind and stamped his feet anxiously. Girls are always slow!

When Cui Qichen heard that there was a sideshow to watch, he dragged his sister Cui Yatong over and ran over. Cui Yalan also liked to watch the fun and followed closely.

Cui Qihan led the way, leaving Cui Qiyan and Qin Fangsui walking side by side behind.

Qin Zheyu still seemed cautious in an unfamiliar environment and followed Qin Fangsui at every step.

"It's so lively, even more lively than the year I left." Qin Fangsui sighed and turned to Cui Qiyan, "Will Brother Yan come every year?"

Cui Qiyan looked forward, "Pretty much, I'm always accompanying them."

"I have envied Yaying for having a biological brother since I was a child. Can Brother Yan accompany me out in the future?" Qin Fangsui looked forward to it.

Yunling, Ji Bai and Qin Fangsui's maid Xianglan followed the three of them and heard their conversation clearly.

"Go over and have a look." Cui Qiyan did not answer directly and led them to the place where the juggling was performed.

Cui Qiyu and others squeezed to the front, and his excited voice could be heard from several circles away.

The crowd was a bit crowded, Cui Qiyan did not step forward and stood at the outside with his hands behind his back.

Qin Fangsui wanted to watch the performance but didn't want to be too far away from Cui Qiyan, so she had to watch on tiptoe.

Yunling stood behind and couldn't see anything, so she simply turned her head to look at the lanterns on the roadside.

"Which one do you like?" Cui Qiyan's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Yunling came back to her senses and quickly shook her head. She subconsciously looked at Qin Fangsui to see if she was there.

Notice here.

Although she would not be Cui Qiyan's concubine, in front of his future wife, his behavior always gave her the illusion that he was having an affair.

She turned her gaze away, not squinting.

Her cautious appearance caught Cui Qiyan's eyes, which made him very unhappy. What was she afraid of?

After watching the sideshow, the group continued walking forward.

Passing by a place where they were guessing lantern riddles, Qin Fangsui stopped and said, "Brother Yan, shall we play this?"

"You can play if you like." Cui Qiyan had no intention of participating and stood aside with his arms crossed.

The stall owner took out an exquisite lantern and said, "Young men and women, as long as you guess ten lantern riddles correctly, this lantern will be yours."

Cui Qiyan signaled Ji Bai to pay the money.

"Heavy rain falls on Hengshan Mountain." Qin Fangsui read out the lantern riddle.

"I know, I know, it's Xue." Cui Yalan rushed to answer.

The stall owner revealed the answer to the mystery, "Congratulations, girl, for getting the question right."

There were several lantern riddles that followed, and people rushed to answer them. Qin Fangsui just smiled and read them out one by one.

As the puzzles became more and more difficult, Cui Yalan and the others were also stumped. As they lowered their heads and pondered, they heard Qin Fangsui speak the correct answer unhurriedly. Even the last puzzle was solved after just a brief thought. Answered.

The stall owner handed the lantern to her and praised her: "Young girl is very smart. I have been here for many years and there are only a handful of people as smart as this girl."

"Sister Qin is so amazing!" Cui Yalan also admired her sincerely.

"It's just some tricks. It's still far from a truly learned man like Brother Yan." Qin Fangsui whispered softly.

Cui Yalan looked back and forth between the two of them and couldn't help laughing, "Sister Qin really never leaves my brother.

"

"How could I..." Qin Fangsui lowered her head in shame.

"There are people grabbing lanterns in front, go and have a look." Cui Qiyan strode forward.
