The grass in the factory should be plucked

Chapter 188 Lantern Festival

The subordinate was shocked: "Female Marquis?"

The leader of the secret door was so angry that he smashed a cup at him again: "Get out! You blind bastards, just die!"

The subordinates crawled out of the room.

The leader of the Anmen frowned. The people in the Anmen were illiterate and never cared about the affairs of the court. Especially those who specialized in beating prostitutes and trafficking women, no matter which family you were from, as long as you caught their eyes, they would find ways to capture you.

Therefore, they never thought that the woman next to Jinyiwei commander Xie Changan was the female marquis of Da Chu!

"A bunch of ants, not even worthy of being on the table!"

He snorted coldly, felt an itch in his throat, coughed softly a few times, picked up a booklet from the side of the couch, opened it and took a closer look.

This is the intelligence sent from the base in the capital, which contains detailed information about the female marquis.

The Dark Gate Master's eyes sparkled: "She is indeed a woman of extraordinary talent!"

It's a pity that his frail body will suffer a relapse of old illnesses as soon as autumn comes, otherwise he really wants to go to Hangzhou Prefecture in person to meet the Marquis of Jing'an.

She went south secretly with the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Who knows what her purpose was?

"Someone come here." He called out to the door.

Another subordinate entered quietly.

"What does the Sect Master want me to do?"

"Send someone to check who the Mongolian employer is and why he specifically asked for this female marquis?"

"Yes!"

Jiang Li arranged everything she needed to do, and then continued to go shopping and eating with Xie Changan.

She wore her veil hat obediently. Tomorrow was the Mid-Autumn Festival and it was also Xie Changan's birthday. She didn't want any blind people to disturb them.

What made her particularly happy was that she could finally visit the Lantern Festival!

The Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in Hangzhou is extremely famous in the Jiangnan area. Xie Changan booked a pleasure boat early on, so that he can go boating on the lake and slowly admire the various lanterns on both sides of the river.

Jiang Li asked Qingfeng Mingyue to secretly find a few jade pendants. After returning from shopping, she drove Xie Changan out of the room and started carving jade pendants.

Xie Changan knew that she was preparing a birthday gift for him, and he was very curious. He wondered what the little Li Nu was going to give him.

Jiang Li didn't let him peek, so he had to go to look for Yin Er and others in disappointment.

Jiang Li sat in front of the window, holding a carving knife, carefully carving intricate runes on the jade pendant.

After the rune took shape, she squeezed out a few drops of blood from her fingertips and dripped them on the rune of the jade pendant.

There was a flash of golden light, blood seeped into the jade pendant, and the rune disappeared.

After a while, all the jade pendants were processed. Jiang Li then found an exquisite brocade box and put the jade pendants into the box one by one.

The next morning, Jiang Li opened her eyes, got up quietly, opened the drawer of the dressing table, took out the brocade box, and quietly put it under Xie Changan's pillow.

As soon as she moved, Xie Changan woke up. He pretended not to know and secretly watched her every move.

After Jiang Li put the brocade box away, she lay back down and closed her eyes.

Xie Changan couldn't help it, he turned over, hugged her, kissed her, and chuckled, "What did you put under my pillow?"

Jiang Li pouted: "Can't you just pretend you don't know?"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Since yesterday, the little cat slave's little claws have been scratching my heart non-stop. I really can't wait any longer!"

Jiang Li's cheeks flushed when she heard his double meaning, and she said angrily, "If you want to know what it is, why don't you open it and take a look?"

Xie Changan sat up, took out the brocade box from under the pillow, opened it and saw four jade pendants inside. The jade was moist and had excellent water content.

He saw words carved on the jade pendant, so he took it out and looked at it carefully.

There are four jade pendants engraved with the words "Never leave, never abandon", "Never lose, never forget", "No worries, no sorrow" and "Eternal joy" respectively.

Jiang Li came over and stroked the jade pendant with her slender fingers. A faint red light flashed, and a complicated symbol appeared on the jade pendant!

"What kind of talisman is this?" Xie Changan asked in surprise.

Jiang Li said: "This is a defensive talisman. Each jade pendant can withstand the full force of a cultivator in the late stage of Qi Refining."

"There is no spiritual energy in this world, and perhaps there are no people who practice Taoism."

"So, this jade pendant can withstand the full force of the strongest person in the world."

Xie Changan was surprised and happy. So, he wouldn't be afraid even if he met the Gu King?

"If you had carved this jade talisman earlier and kept it with you, you wouldn't have been seriously injured by the Gu King that day!"

He said in an angry tone.

Jiang Li sighed: "I didn't practice well enough before. With my spiritual awareness at that time, I couldn't carve this rune at all!"

After she was seriously injured, she lay in bed for half a year, unable to move. She had to concentrate on training her spiritual sense. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Her spiritual sense became much stronger, and she could now draw the runes fluently, which she could not draw before.

Xie Changan played with the four jade pendants, unable to let go, and leaned over to give her a gentle kiss on the face: "Thank you, little Li Nu, I like it very much."

He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "The words you carved on this jade pendant are also very good. Let's name our child after this in the future."

"Thank you for not leaving, thank you for not abandoning, thank you for not worrying, thank you for not being sad..."

Jiang Li was so angry that she jumped on him and hit him with her fist: "Who wants to have so many children with you! If you want to have children, go have them by yourself!"

Xie Changan smiled and held her in his arms, saying affectionately, "Thank you, little Li Nu."

"Thank you for being with me and never leaving me. Thank you for making me worry-free..."

As night falls, there is a full moon in the sky, shining brightly. Various colorful lights are shining brightly by the West Lake. There are also thousands of lotus lanterns placed on the lake, which decorate the water surface like the Milky Way in the sky with twinkling stars.

Zhou Zhitu knew that Marquis Jing'an and Lord Xie were still in Hangzhou Prefecture, so he was even more determined to make a deep impression on the nobles.

Jiang Li and the other person were sitting in the pleasure boat, admiring the bright lanterns on the shore and listening to the sound of stringed instruments in the distance, and they were unconsciously intoxicated by it.

At this time, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.

Jiang Li and the others looked when they heard the sound, and saw tens of thousands of Kongming lanterns rising slowly, like stars blooming under the sky.

"Wow!" Jiang Li exclaimed, "How spectacular!"

"There seem to be words on the lamp." Xie Changan said.

The two stood at the bow and looked carefully. They saw words on each lamp, such as "a happy marriage for a hundred years", "a talented man and a beautiful woman", "a perfect match", "grow old together", "have a baby soon"...

All of them are blessings to the newlyweds.

After a brief thought, Xie Changan realized that Zhou Zhitu was trying to please them.

He smiled slightly. This guy is quite clever.

"Brother Changan, happy birthday!" Jiang Li said with a smile.

Xie Changan placed a kiss on her forehead and said, "May you and I be happy together year after year."

Under the glow of the lights, the two people at the bow embraced each other affectionately, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

What they didn't know was that at this moment, in a houseboat not far away, there was also a person sitting quietly by the window, watching them silently.
