Traveling through the ancient times

"Qi Muhe?" Lu Mingqian was a little surprised why it was him...

Qi Muhe is the young master of the Qi family in Xiliang. The Qi family has been engaged in business for generations, and the range of their business is extremely wide. In Xiliang, they are rich enough to rival a country. Since ancient times, the excessive wealth of civilians has always aroused the envy and fear of the royal family, and finally led to suppression.

Five years ago, the Qi family was confiscated by the King of Xiliang for selling weapons and plotting treason, and all the men, women, and children in the family were beheaded. Only a young master, Qi Muhe, escaped because he was playing around and secretly went out.

Later, it was rumored that the Qi family had another treasure trove. The King of Xiliang sent people to search everywhere, but had not found it yet. So he was also secretly looking for this escaped fish, but he didn't know that he had secretly come to the Dongyi Kingdom.

"After all these years, you can still recognize me?" Qi Muhe said in surprise. They had only met once when they were children.

At that time, the King of Xiliang sent an envoy to Dongyi to pay tribute, and Qi Muhe mixed in the envoy and came to Dongyi.

One day he secretly ran out to play and ran into Lu Mingqian. That was the first time they met and they even had a fight.

Later, Qi Muhe followed the delegation back to Xiliang and was never seen again.

"Of course." Lu Mingqian still had a deep impression of Qi Muhe in his memory.

"You want my treasure too?" Qi Muhe asked Lu Mingqian with sharp eyes.

"If you want to give me the treasure, I can accept it. But you have to give me an explanation for the other things you have done." Lu Mingqian was not to be outdone.

"Other things? What?" Qi Muhe was puzzled.

"Since you don't know what they are, then come back with me and tell me everything you have done in Dongyi over the years, one by one, and take me away." Lu Mingqian turned and walked out.

"Hey, please tell me clearly, what's going on?"

No matter how Qi Muhe shouted from behind, Lu Mingqian quickly jumped on his horse and left without looking back.

After such a long journey, I wonder if I can still catch up with the moving dinner I drew at the beginning of the year...

However, he was destined to miss the moving dinner, so Lu Mingqian rode as fast as he could and finally arrived back to Qunan half a month later.

It took two months to get back to Qunan, and it was almost New Year's Eve. Passers-by were all wearing thick cotton-padded jackets.

Red lanterns are hung in the streets and people are coming and going on the streets, all of them are happily buying New Year's goods.

Jinyue Academy has already had its New Year holiday. Shuchuhua returned to her small house and packed up her things. In a few days she will go back to her hometown to celebrate the New Year.

Looking at this yard where I have lived for only a few days, I hung the lanterns I bought on the eaves around the house at the beginning of the year. The bright red color has a bit of a Chinese New Year feel.

"Chu Hua, open the door quickly." Jiang Ruixue knocked on the door and shouted.

As soon as Nianchuhua opened the door, Jiang Ruixue came in with Ulala and a group of people, and the servants behind them were carrying a large box.

"What is this?" Nianchuhua asked curiously while looking at the box in the yard.

"What good stuff." Jiang Ruixue said, then turned around and told the maids and servants she brought with her to start getting busy.

It turned out that the box was full of bright red decorations, pendants and ornaments of all kinds.

"It's Chinese New Year after all, and it's a new house. A few lanterns won't be enough. Of course we have to decorate it in a festive way."

Nianchuhua felt warm at the sight of Jiang Ruixue. She hugged Jiang Ruixue's arm and thanked her coquettishly. After they laughed and played for a while, the whole yard was ready.

Looking at the festive decorations everywhere in the house, you can instantly feel the strong festive atmosphere.

Knock knock knock… There was another knock on the door…

Mingyue went over and opened the door, and Lu Mingcheng and Lu Jinse walked in.

"Wow, this is really nice. It really feels like Chinese New Year." Lu Mingcheng looked at the newly decorated yard and praised it highly.

Lu Jinse looked at Nian Chuhua and asked, "Sister Chuhua, are you planning to spend the New Year here?"

"I have to go back." Nian Chuhua looked at Lu Jinse and answered with a smile.

"Oh, seeing your house is decorated so beautifully and festively, I thought we were going to celebrate the New Year in this new house."

"It's your sister Ruixue. She said that this is my new house and it will be Chinese New Year soon, so she brought these to help me hang them up." Nianchuhua explained with a smile.

"Sister Ruixue is always thoughtful." Jiang Ruixue praised her caring sister to her little fangirl.

"Why don't we have a reunion dinner here today and celebrate the New Year early?" Nianchuhua suggested.

"Okay, okay." Lu Jinse clapped her hands and cheered.

Jiang Ruixue and Lu Mingcheng also thought this was a good idea.

Several people immediately went out to buy vegetables. They were all wealthy, so each of them bought some of their favorite dishes. They had agreed that each of them would cook two of their own specialties.

After buying all the ingredients, several people washed, cut, and cooked them, dividing the work and cooperating with each other, and soon the table was filled with dishes.

Not only was Lu Jinse used to a life of luxury and food and couldn't even cook, but even Lu Mingcheng made two, which made Lu Jinse scream in surprise.

Lu Jinse praised this and that. Although she didn't cook any dish, she was the busiest person in the entire kitchen.

After all the dishes were served, several people sat around the table. Since there were only four of them, they could not finish the whole table of dishes, so Jiang Ruixue called Mingyue, Lu Mingcheng's follower Yanshu, and Lu Jinse's maid Chuxia to sit down together.

The three of them were terrified, but at the request of their masters they sat down obediently.

"Today is an early New Year's Eve. Let's sit together and have a happy reunion dinner regardless of the master and servant status. Thank you for your company this year. I hope we can always be together in every year to come." As the host of the New Year's Eve painting, he spoke auspicious words.

Just as everyone was toasting, there was another knock on the door...

Everyone was wondering, who is coming again?

Nianchuhua couldn't think of who else would come here, after all, they were the only ones who came here for such a long time.

Mingyue ran to open the door and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

Tell everyone who is coming.

The third prince? He's back?

Lu Mingqian walked into the yard and saw the whole yard was red, which was nice and festive.

"Greetings to the Third Prince." Several people quickly stood up and saluted.

Lu Jinse ran over and pulled Lu Mingqian over, "Third brother, you're just in time. We're just about to have a reunion dinner."

Lu Mingqian motioned for Nian Chuhua and the others to excuse themselves from the formalities, and then looked at Lu Mingcheng and said, "Second brother is here too."

"Well, Third Brother, I heard that you went out to do some work. You are finally back."

"I just came back yesterday, so I thought of coming over to take a look. I hope I didn't disturb you guys?" Although Lu Mingqian answered Lu Mingcheng's question, his eyes were indeed on Nianchu's painting.

"Don't bother me. I've wanted to invite you to dinner for a long time, but you happened to be out on business last time. Today is a good time, let's go together!" Nian Chuhua enthusiastically invited Lu Mingqian to have dinner together.

Lu Mingcheng and Jiang Ruixue looked at Nian Chuhua and then at Lu Mingqian. When did they become so close? Why did Lu Mingqian come to see Nian Chuhua as soon as he came back?

Mingyue brought new bowls and chopsticks and placed them on the remaining two seats, "Third Prince, please take a seat."

"Everyone, please sit down. Let that handsome guy sit down and eat with us." Nianchuhua called on Xingyi, who was standing nearby, to sit down and eat as well.

Lu Mingqian looked at Xing Yi with a puzzled look on his face. "Handsome guy?"

Seeing that his master looked unhappy, Xing Yi hastily refused, "I dare not, masters, please use it first."

"Oh, there's nothing to be afraid of. Today is the reunion dinner and everyone has to be together. Look at them..." Nian Chuhua indicated that Mingyue and the others were all there.

"Since Miss Nian is so kind to invite you, please sit down." Lu Mingqian asked Xing Yi to sit down with him.

After getting the master's approval, Xingyi bowed to Nian Chuhua and sat down next to Yanshu, "Thank you, Miss Nian."

"Nothing, let's get started."

"cheers."

There was a table full of delicious food and wine. Everyone was a little reserved at first because of Lu Mingqian's joining. But Shu Nianhua lowered his guard against Lu Mingqian. With the help of Lu Jinse who livened up the atmosphere, the atmosphere gradually became better and the meal became lively.
