The daughter of the first wife is a black lotus, reborn and remarried to kill

After waiting for so long, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month finally arrived.

The excitement of welcoming the New Year has not yet passed, the red lanterns in Li Mansion have not yet been taken down, but outside the gongs and drums have begun to be beaten, and people have taken to the streets to celebrate the annual Lantern Festival.

Li Qingqian did not stay in bed today, which was a rare occasion. Instead, she got up from the couch before Yunyi came in to help her wash and dress.

Yun Yi was as if she had seen a ghost, "...Miss, have you been possessed by something?"

Li Qingqian treated her servants very well, which led to the fact that these maids were not only not afraid of her, but also complained about her from time to time.

She glanced at Yun Yi unhappily and said, "Today is the Lantern Festival."

Yun Yi pursed her lips and smiled, "It turns out that the young lady is concerned about the appointment with the prince."

She turned around and took a lake blue winter coat from the lacquer tray in Yunchang's hand, "I will help you dress up right away."

Li Qingqian looked at the clothes in her hand and said with some hesitation: "I don't want to wear this today. Please change me into a red one."

Yunyi still didn't quite understand why the girl liked light blue clothes in previous years, but now she chose a red dress that was not often worn?

It was not until three quarters after the afternoon when Shen Changyun's carriage stopped in front of the Li Mansion and she saw that the man was also wearing red clothes that she understood why.

Li Qingqian had given instructions early this morning that she would not bring any maid with her, but Yunwu insisted on following in secret to protect her.

She had no choice but to allow Yunwu to follow.

In the carriage, Shen Changyun played with her hair and asked with a smile, "My wife didn't like to go out before. Is this your first time to enjoy the lanterns of the Lantern Festival?"

"You seem very happy," Li Qingqian stretched out her hand and stroked his chest, "I seem to be able to feel that it is happy that the first time I go out to play is with you."

"I'm naturally happy to have such a beautiful woman as my companion. My lady, you look so beautiful today." Shen Changyun held her hand and whispered in her ear.

Li Qingqian asked with a smile: "So, do you have enough money to accompany me out this time? I need to buy a lot of things."

Shen Changyun gently scratched her nose and said, "Why bring silver? People usually use copper coins."

The annual expenses of ordinary people are only about ten taels of silver. The vendors on the street are all small businesses. Can they make ends meet with silver?

Li Qingqian teased, "So you knew. Rumor has it in the capital that the eldest son of the Shen family is a devil who spends his days either walking his dog or fighting cocks, or indulging in wine and women. I didn't expect that he could understand the people's sentiments so well."

"Others may not know what I look like, but my wife, don't you know? If my wife really listened to those gossips, she would really be wronged and killed."

The carriage stopped under a hibiscus tree in the alley. The two got off. The coachman bowed slightly to Shen Changyun and Li Qingqian, then drove away.

"Let's go," Shen Changyun took Li Qingqian's hand and said, "The carriage will be here to pick us up at midnight."

Seeing that no one was following, Li Qingqian couldn't help but ask, "You're not taking Bai Qian with you?"

"Why is he following?" Shen Changyun's eyes flashed with a narrow smile, "Madam didn't bring the maids, didn't she also not want them to disturb us?"

Li Qingqian hit him lightly with a slightly red cheek.

"Let's go." Shen Changyun said as he took her hand and walked out of the alley.

As soon as I walked out of the alley, the smell of fireworks instantly hit me. The streets were crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder. The vendors were shouting and walking in groups of three or five. There were people selling lanterns, masks, and candied haws.

Men and women were playing together, laughing and talking happily, and some of them were wearing newly bought masks on their faces.

Fireworks are blooming in the sky and the moon is round and bright.

In the distance, there are the sounds of oars and lights. Many women are setting off lotus lanterns by the river, making New Year wishes. Many red strips of cloth are hung on the marriage tree, with the names of couples written on them. Many talented men and beautiful women love to express their love here.

The cake stand was crowded with children, who could get free cakes if they guessed the riddles correctly. The snack shop had a big tent outside, and customers could sit on the benches and eat a bowl of hot dumplings for only six copper coins.

The moment Li Qingqian and Shen Changyun came out, they attracted a lot of people's attention.

People all over the street looked at the two of them at the same time, with amazement in their eyes.

Today, many young men and women from noble families came out to play, and among them there were many of distinguished people, but it was rare to see someone so outstanding.

The young man was gorgeous and charming, and the girl beside him looked like a beautiful fairy, like a piece of finely carved mutton-fat jade.

Just the two of them standing there was pleasing to the eye.

Under everyone's gaze, Li Qingqian's mouth twitched slightly.

Their looks are too flamboyant...

Li Qingqian pulled Shen Changyun's sleeve and whispered, "Let's go buy a mask."

Shen Changyun nodded.

In front of the stall selling masks, Li Qingqian was about to pick two at random, but Shen Changyun casually picked up a black cat mask and put it on her face without saying a word.

The mask covered the girl's stunning face, leaving only her crimson lips and delicate jaw exposed. Not only did it fail to conceal her stunning beauty, it also added a bit of mystery.

"It suits you well, lady."

Unlike the previous dynasty, Dawei regarded the black cat as a symbol of good fortune.

Ordinary people could not raise black cats at will, only officials of the second rank or above or royal nobles could raise them. They also had to choose an auspicious day, prepare betrothal gifts, and welcome black cats into the palace in a grand manner.

Li Qingqian snorted proudly, and without hesitation put a scary dark green wolf mask on Shen Changyun, "Husband, it suits you very well."

Shen Changyun's body froze. She called him husband...

But he didn't like this ferocious mask. He didn't want to have such an image of himself in Li Qingqian's mind.

"I don't want this." Shen Changyun raised his hand and tried to take off the mask.

Li Qingqian picked up a white fox mask and said, "This is it. You can choose one?"

Shen Changyun glanced at the white fox mask with a flattering smile: "..."

Really, the white fox should be a symbol of good fortune that is no less than the black cat, so why does it have to be made to look like this?

Shen Changyun put his hand down silently.

Then I'd better choose the black and blue wolf, at least it looks majestic.

Only a despicable and shameless person like Jiang Lin could make a fox mask like this one that was so awful.

It was not until he paid the bill and walked a long way away that Shen Changyun realized why he had to choose between the two.

Isn't this a good opportunity for him to restore his authority as a husband in front of Li Qingqian?

Unfortunately, it was too late, and he could only continue walking depressedly with a wolf mask with a green face and fangs.

Li Qingqian had never been out to play like this before, not to mention being let alone being exiled to the countryside for three whole years, so she was very happy today.

I looked here and there along the way, and found everything new and interesting.

Shen Changyun followed behind her and paid for whatever she wanted.

"Hey, candied haws!" Li Qingqian suddenly said in surprise, pointing ahead.

Shen Changyun followed her gaze and indeed saw a vendor selling candied haws. Those who went to buy them were all children or elders with children.

"Do you want to eat?" Shen Changyun asked.

"Yeah! I want to eat!"

Li Qingqian had never eaten candied haws.

In the past, before she was sent to the countryside, Liu would take Li Shuyue out. Every time she came back, she would hold a candied haws in each hand and look at Li Qingqian with a proud face.

In fact, all you need to do is buy some candied haws and ask the servants in the mansion to do it.

But my grandmother is old and in poor health, my brothers are also very busy, and Li Zhengkang doesn't pay much attention to me.

So Li Qingqian simply pretended to be uninterested in everything, so as not to make her grandmother feel distressed when she was taking care of her.

She restrained her temper and slowly began to forget that she was also a child who loved to be lively.

After half a stick of incense.

Li Qingqian was holding a string of candied haws in her hand and looked at Shen Changyun in surprise, "I only wanted you to buy one string, why did you bring back a whole shelf?"

Shen Changyun, who was carrying the whole candied haws stand and seemed to be selling candied haws: "..."

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he bought the whole rack of candied haws.

Shen Changyun just thought that Li Qingqian, who was waiting for him there, seemed to have been looking forward to the candied haws for a long time.

So, I want to give her everything.

"Then my lady, eat all of this. Eat all the food you haven't eaten in these years at once."

Seeing his serious expression, Li Qingqian looked at the candied haws stand and couldn't help swallowing.

Eat it all? She was a little worried about her teeth...

"But we still have to walk around for a while, and it will be very troublesome for you to carry it along."

Shen Changyun thought about it and agreed.

Turning around, he saw a group of children playing together not far away, so he walked over and directly stuffed the candied haws rack into the hands of the tallest child, "Here are the gifts for you."

After the task was completed, he left, keeping his achievements and fame to himself. He turned around, took Li Qingqian's hand again, and continued to play.
