After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

Sensing that the other party was looking at him wrongly, Pei Jiaoran trembled his long eyelashes and smiled sternly, "I know there is a Yuelao Temple in Yangzhou where the red thread prayed for is quite effective. How about we go and have a look?"

After listening to her words, Li Xiujing nodded.

Fortunately, what Pei Jiaoran bought were small gadgets and didn't weigh much. Therefore, Li Xiujing had no pressure to hold it.

The two of them walked through the crowd and headed towards Yuelao Temple. The front is getting busier and busier, and there are more and more people. Pei Jiaoran simply took Li Xiujing's arm and walked side by side with him.

Pei Jiaoran has been very busy since he came to Yangzhou, and he has been neglecting the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River for a long time. Even if I have time to travel, I am still discussing government affairs with others, and I have no time to enjoy the scenery of Jiangnan. Now the two of them slowed down their pace and walked through the crowd.

Today's banquet was in the name of a private banquet for the enjoyment of the people, so neither of them wore official uniforms. One person is wearing a sparrow-blue round-collared robe, and the other is wearing a bamboo-green robe with beaded patterns and missing the crotch. Or stop at a food stall to buy some pickled plums, or leave without receiving a reward after guessing a lantern riddle somewhere. Li Xiujing looked at her sideways from time to time, his eyes full of smiles.

Finally, the two of them arrived in front of Yuelao Temple. In front of Yuelao Temple, it is very lively, with people coming and going.

"I didn't expect that Yuelao Temple would be so lively during the Mid-Autumn Festival." Looking at the scene in the temple, Li Xiujing couldn't help but sigh.

"That's also because it's famous for its efficacious effects." Pei Jiaoran said with a smile, "Let's go."

Pei Jiaoran took Li Xiujing's arm, walked through the crowd with ease, and squeezed in front of the temple blessing.

There are several strands of red thread tied into concentric knots lying in bamboo baskets on the table.

"I'm sorry, you two, the rules have changed this year. Only those who have completed the test in the temple can get the red line." Temple Zhu looked at the two of them and said apologetically.

Looking around, Pei Jiaoran asked, "What test?"

"It's not difficult." Miao Zhu smiled slightly, "It's just one level. The two of them need to jump to the high platform by jumping plum blossom piles, then climb down from the high platform, and they have to land at the same time."

After saying that, Miao Zhu pointed to the high platform not far away. Bright lanterns and colorful ribbons are tied on the high platform. At this moment, there were many people surrounding him, and many people were already standing beside him dejectedly.

After thinking for a moment, Pei Jiaoran nodded, "Okay."

"Please, both of you."

"Jiajia, do you think we can win?" Li Xiujing asked while putting down the things in his hands.

Upon hearing this, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "You and I have the same sound as Sheng and Qing. I think there is still a tacit understanding."

After observing for a while by the high platform, Pei Jiaoran turned around and whispered a few words to Li Xiujing, then walked towards the plum blossom pile.

When the person in charge saw the two coming over, he smiled and handed over his hands, "Are you two here to get the red thread too?"

"Ah."

"Please, both of you." The person in charge took a step back and gave way.

Both of them are martial arts practitioners, so dancing on the plum blossom pile is not difficult for them. Pei Jiaoran, in particular, relied on his exquisite and elegant movements to stay one step ahead of Li Xiujing and jump to the high platform.

Pei Jiaoran stood under the moon and quietly lifted up his mask. Looking at Li Xiujing, a smile appeared on his lips.

After Li Xiujing also jumped to the high platform, Pei Jiaoran pointed to the crowd below the stage, "How about we make a bet. If they don't land at the same time, the person who falls behind will be punished."

"it is good."

The gongs and drums sounded under the stage, and the two of them climbed down from the high platform at the same time. The platform is several feet high, with lights shining brightly at its feet and a bustling crowd.

Seeing the two of them getting closer and closer to the ground, cheers continued to sound.

"Erlang." Pei Jiaoran called out with a smile.

"I'm here." Li Xiujing responded without stopping.

In the end, the two landed at the same time and ran towards the temple. When the two arrived, more than half of the stick of incense was left unburned.

"Congratulations to both of you, you are the top picks today." Miao Zhu smiled and handed the red thread to Pei Jiaoran, "May the two of you be united and the lotuses bloom."

"Thank you."

After thanking the temple blessing, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Reach out your hand."

After glancing at her lightly, Li Xiujing stretched out her hand obediently.

Lifting up Li Xiujing's sleeves, Pei Jiaoran tied the red thread around his wrist.

Looking at the red thread in his hand, Li Xiujing smiled and said, "I'll tie it for you."

The bright red thread fell on Pei Jiaoran's wrist, and Li Xiujing also tied a concentric knot.

"You actually know how to tie a concentric knot? Could it be that you learned it specially to please some girl in the past." Pei Jiaoran fiddled with the concentric knot and said with a smile.

Picking up the things that Miao Zhu had just looked at, Li Xiujing said with a smile on her face, "It's not difficult. I can do it just by looking at it."

Seeing Li Xiujing's proud look, Pei Jiaoran knew that this person was deliberately provoking her. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, turned around and walked out.

After leaving Yuelao Temple, the two walked side by side again.

When passing by a shop, Pei Jiaoran suddenly said that he wanted to go in and have a look. Li Xiujing looked up and saw a shop selling fans, with a sign hanging on the door. All fans in the store are sold at 50% lower than usual prices.

"Yangzhou's silk fans are also famous. Now that they are cheaper than before, buy a few more to give away." Pei Jiaoran entered the store and informed Li Xiujing of her careful budgeting.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing smiled and whispered in her ear, "If others knew that Mr. Pei was so stingy when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he would be sighing again and again."

"My salary is meager, why don't you give me your salary and military reward as well?" Pei Jiaoran glanced at him, "The military reward of Shence's army is much higher than that of Jinwu Guard."

"As long as you want, you can take whatever I have."

When he stopped talking, Pei Jiaoran smiled noncommittally, turned around and started picking at the counter. Seeing this, Li Xiujing had no choice but to follow her and walk around with her.

The two waiters who were taking a nap in the store saw customers coming into the store. Immediately he became energetic and eagerly came to greet me. Introduce Pei Jiaoran to the types of fans and the material of the fan handles.

After a while, the three of them started to chat, and Pei Jiaoran had a warm smile on his face.

Playing with the plain bamboo fan in his hand, Pei Jiaoran turned to look at Li Xiujing, who was sitting by the window drinking tea, and motioned to the older man to come over and ask him for some pen and ink. He picked up a pen and wrote a poem on the fan, and gently blew the ink dry.

"Go and ask him for me if he likes this."

The older man took the order and left, and Pei Jiaoran's eyes wandered to the curtain not far away. A shrine was placed there, and three incense sticks were lit on the shrine, which was emitting a faint fragrance. After measuring it for a while, she slightly curled her lips.

I picked out more than a dozen fans of various types in the store, including butterfly-shaped ones, octagonal ones, and rhombus-shaped ones. The shopkeeper who came after hearing the news saw that Pei Jiaoran was generous and gave several more fan pendants and sachets as gifts.

After thanking the shopkeeper, Pei Jiaoran smiled and said, "Shopkeeper, your plaque is a bit old. How about I re-inscribe a few words for you?"

"Thank you very much, madam." The shopkeeper bowed his hands and saluted.

After asking for pen and ink, Pei Jiaoran wrote a few words on the rice paper.

"Qingfeng Hall? Girl, this... we were originally called Qingfeng Hall, your name..."

"Tao Qian has a poem, 'I would like to ask the wandering alchemist, how can I find out what is outside the hustle and bustle of the city. I would like to whisper in the breeze and hold it high to find my contract.' This breeze blows on the body, cleanses the mind, and makes people happy. Since you are a fan seller, ask Qingfengtang to return it. It's better to call it Qingfeng Hall." Pei Jiaoran turned and left.
