After dinner, she had a great conversation with the two sisters from the Zhang family, and the joy in her heart was beyond words.
"Lingwei, would you like me to take you to the night market in Chengguan County? Today happens to be the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. The lantern festival here is very lively and well worth a visit."
Xiao Youniang took Lingwei's hand, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Ling Wei nodded. Although there were some minor setbacks today, she cherished the opportunity to meet the Zhang family.
"Then I'll go too. We've all been busy with our own things lately, and we haven't relaxed together for a while."
As Xu Liyun spoke, she turned around and went back to the house. She simply adjusted the decorations in her hair in front of the bronze mirror and looked more energetic.
"Okay, let's go together. Ling Wen, you come too. Let's walk to the small market by the lake. There are all kinds of things on the stalls there. It's a different world."
Grandpa Zhang stroked his beard, his eyes full of love and recognition for Ling Wen.
The group decided to abandon the carriage and walk to the lake.
Along the way, the market was bustling with people. The constant shouting of the lantern vendors and the colorful lights intertwined together, making the streets look like daytime. All kinds of lanterns swayed gently in the night breeze, illuminating everyone's smiles. The entire lantern festival scene seemed like a sea of joy.
In a corner of the brightly lit market, an acrobatic performance is in full swing, attracting audiences from all directions.
Xiao Youniang held her sister Zhang Wuya's soft little hand tightly in her hand, and with the other hand she held the lively and cheerful Lingwei. The three of them shuttled through the crowd and finally squeezed to the forefront of the performance.
Zhang Ming followed reluctantly, muttering something as if complaining about the crowds, but his eyes revealed a barely perceptible concern.
Ling Wen stood quietly at the edge of the crowd, his sharp eyes always paying attention to the movements around him to ensure the safety of this small group.
Not far away, the elders of the Zhang family gathered under the lantern riddle corridor. They were either laughing and chatting, or thinking with their heads down. Occasionally, they looked up in the direction of their children, their eyes full of love and expectation. They enjoyed the joy of reunion, and at the same time patiently waited for the younger generations to return after playing to their heart's content.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Lingwei's eyes sparkled with surprise, her little hands clapped excitedly, and her smile was like a flower blooming in spring, brilliant and vivid.
During her days in the mansion, she was always bound by the rules of her mother and grandmother. Today, she was like a bird out of a cage, experiencing unrestrained freedom and pure happiness for the first time. This feeling was so real and so intoxicating!
"Sister Wuya, Youniang, can I come to play with you often in the future? Let's be good friends, okay?"
Lingwei's eyes were full of hope, and her heart was warmed by this sudden friendship.
"No problem at all!"
Zhang Wuya and Xiao Youniang said almost in unison that they were deeply moved by Lingwei's innocence and kindness, and they also developed a desire to protect this friendship.
So, the three girls continued to move forward with laughter and joy. They stopped in front of the exquisite stalls from time to time to choose the things they liked. Zhang Ming, on the other hand, had a helpless look on his face, with large and small bags in his hands. He complained as he walked, but his eyes were full of doting.
"Brother Lingwen, you see, women are like this. Even though they have countless jewelry at home, they still want to buy something new. Not only do they buy it themselves, but they also need us men to help carry it."
Zhang Ming pretended to be miserable, but Ling Wen just smiled softly, his eyes full of tenderness, "I think it's good."
Zhang Mingyi sighed secretly, thinking that Ling Wen might be a complete "henpecked husband" in the future. He couldn't help but think of Tan Yulin, and secretly vowed to find an opportunity to vent his grievances to this old friend.
"Lingwei, where exactly is your home? Is it far from here? Is it also in the neighboring county?"
Zhang Wuya handed over a string of crystal clear candied haws, and her question was full of concern.
"My home is in Tianyuan County, Pingzhou, which is quite a distance from here."
Lingwei took the candied haws and tasted it with satisfaction, a happy smile on her face.
"Hey, why does this name sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
Xiao Youniang also took a bite of the candied haws and sighed.
"I remember that my father bought a piece of land before, and the address on the deed is Niu Shangpo, Niu Shang Town, Tianyuan County, Pingzhou."
Zhang Wuya suddenly realized, and the fragments of memory were connected together at this moment.
Ling Wei's eyes lit up when she heard this: "So your family has land in Niu Shangpo? There really is a Niu Shangpo in our county, right next to Hongsi Pavilion, it's quite famous."
Zhang Mingyi finally got rid of the "burden" of carrying things, handed the package to Zhang Laoer, and then bought two strings of candied haws and returned, "We plan to open a restaurant in Niu Shangpo and develop business."
"The environment there is really good. Hong Temple is very famous for drawing lots and praying for blessings, which attracts many pilgrims."
Ling Wei changed the subject and said, "But there are also rumors that the place is quite mysterious. A few years ago, my mother and uncle wanted to do business there, but later gave up for some reason."
"It was actually due to some disputes among local villagers, but those villagers who caused the trouble have been punished and are now far away from here."
There was a hint of relief in Xiao Youniang's tone. She understood Ling Wei's lack of understanding of the outside world. After all, she was a young lady who lived a reclusive life.
"I see. I have to go home and ask my father about the details. Don't rush to start the construction. Let me find out everything to avoid any mistakes..."
"Don't worry! We are all from Tianyuan County, and there will be many opportunities for us to meet in the future. You can come to Niu Shangpo to find us at any time, or I will go to Tianyuan County to visit you. You don't have to come all the way to Chengguan County."
The little girl spoke excitedly, her face full of longing.
Lingwei stayed at her grandfather Panzhou's home for about two months and was preparing to return to Tianyuan County.
When she mentioned that she was going out to buy gifts for her parents, an accident happened unexpectedly. When she woke up, she was already in the carriage on the way back.
A misunderstanding quietly took place. Her grandfather's family thought that she had returned to Pingzhou directly with the gifts, while her parents thought that she was still in Panzhou.
Everyone spent the day in laughter and joy, until night fell and fatigue set in, and then they decided to return home to rest.
Zhang Ming bought a new waist ornament, and he was quite proud of it, but he was not forgiving, "It's better to go back early. If it wasn't for my father coming to help me, my hand would be broken."
“Try throwing it!”
The little girl raised her eyebrows, made a gesture to pounce, and raised her fist, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
"Tigress!"
Zhang Ming shouted loudly, and the two of them immediately started playing and chasing each other, enjoying themselves.
Xu Liyun smiled but said nothing, "I've been like this since I was a child, don't be surprised!"
Ling Wei and Ling Wen also smiled at each other, and warmth filled the hearts of these young people.
As the night deepened, everything returned to silence, and in the backyard of Jinxiu Pavilion, everyone was immersed in sweet dreams.
