After that day of chatting, the relationship between the two of them had improved a lot. After everyone became familiar with each other, they became more casual with each other. In the blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival had arrived. The traditional Mid-Autumn Festival was also held here. The celebration of reunion filled the entire Jiang Kingdom. The north and south of the Yangtze River, all the states and counties were busy for this traditional and grand festival.
Early in the morning, Dongfang Xian 'er came over after Ye Jianli finished washing up. This time, Dongfang Xian' er changed her hair bun and her pigtails turned into long hair that reached her shoulders. A jade hairpin was inserted diagonally and the hair at her temples was tucked behind her ears. A pair of white and sparkling ears were revealed. Paired with a green lace dress and a pair of cowhide boots, the little girl looked extremely cute!
Ye Jianli was puzzled." Sister Xian Er, why did you call me so early in the morning?"”
Dongfang Xian 'er blinked her big eyes and said playfully,""Brother Jianli, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. The city is very lively.”
"Oh, really?" Ye Jianli did not say anything and only now did he remember that he had been staying in the residence for the past six years in order to avoid leisure. Even when he was making clothes, it was the servant maids who took the size and went to the tailor shop to make them. It seemed that he was considered an eternal otaku! He hadn't stepped out of the house for six years. Ye Jianli smiled bitterly helplessly, Everything was caused by that little wimp!
Seeing Ye Jianli's calm expression, Dongfang Xian 'er did not give in. She walked to Ye Jianli's side, hugged Ye Jianli's right arm, and said coquettishly,""But, Brother Jianli, Xian Er wants to go and take a look! Do you have the heart to let Xianer go alone?”
Although the young girl beside him was only fifteen years old, her body was already well developed. Feeling the numbness in his right arm and hearing Dongfang Xianer's coquettish words, Ye Jianli rolled his eyes and immediately stood aside, saying,""Alright, alright, I'll go, alright?”Ye Jianli missed that numbing feeling in his heart. The moment this thought arose, Ye Jianli immediately shook his head and denied it," He must have been influenced by that guy!
Dongfang Xian 'er saw that her little scheme had succeeded, and she was secretly happy and shy. It must be known that he was the first person to do this to her since she was young, other than her loved ones. When he saw Ye Jianli shaking his head, he asked curiously,""Brother Jianli, why are you shaking your head? Could it be that he went back on his word? You promised me!"
"It's nothing. Didn't you want to go and take a look? Then let's go!" Ye Jianli could only change the topic and say,""Sister Xian Er, it felt so comfortable just now. Do you want to come again?”Bah, too shameless!
At the mention of going to take a look, the young girl's interest was immediately piqued. Dongfang Xian 'er said excitedly,""Brother Jianli, let's go now!”After saying that, he took the lead to step out of the door and Ye Jianli followed behind with a bitter smile.
When he left the inner courtyard, he saw the two elders playing chess on the stone platform in the outer courtyard. The servants in the residence were holding red lanterns. Since he wanted to go out and play, he had to ask the two elders for instructions! Unexpectedly, the two elders agreed without thinking. Ye Jianli could only follow the lively Dongfang Xian 'er out of the residence with a puzzled look on his face. Seeing the two young men leave the residence, Dongfang Qiming stroked his beard and said with a smile,""Old Ye, I like your son very much. Although he used to be very bad, he has indeed changed a lot in the past few years!”
Hearing his old friend talk about Ye Jianli and Ye Cheng, his old face turned red and he said in shame,""That's all because I spoiled her!" Seeing his old friend smiling, Ye Cheng asked,""What about your son and your daughter?"
Dongfang Qiming said with a mysterious expression,""I can't be satisfied. Everything is up to Xianer to choose! To tell the truth, Xianer probably came for this matter!”
Ye Cheng laughed." That's true. Our children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Let them be!" Come, come, let's continue. This time, you're not allowed to go back on your words!”
Dongfang Qiming glared at him and said angrily,""What do you mean? I've only regretted it eight times in the previous round. I don't know who regretted it nine times!”

The Ye Residence was located in the eastern suburbs of Tianfeng City. It was still quite a distance away from the main street (market). After leaving the Ye Residence, the two of them walked quickly to the market. Along the way, they met many people who were going to the market, most of whom were commoners. After all, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also a large-scale festival. There were many things that people had to gather in their homes. Looking at the figures of the commoners, Ye Jianli was reminded of how his parents were like these commoners in his previous life. They would also rush to the shops to buy things during festivals. As he thought about it, his gaze became gentler and gentler as he looked at the commoners. Although the commoners had gone to the market as early as possible, when they saw that the noble youth was not looking at them with the same high and mighty attitude that the nobles had in the past, they had a good impression of this youth. They all smiled at Ye Jianli. When she saw the young man with a young and beautiful girl beside him, she sighed at the match made in heaven. Dongfang Xian 'er saw that these lowly commoners dared to look at her and was about to flare up when she heard Ye Jianli's gentle voice,""Don't argue with the people. They are all honest, kind, and simple people, okay?”
Feeling Ye Jianli's hot breath as he spoke numbing her ears and a hint of redness creeping up her face, Dongfang Xian 'er was so embarrassed that she let out a soft " mm "…
As it was the Mid-Autumn Festival today, the market was even more lively than before. The street stalls, noodle shops, brothels, restaurants, and teahouses were all full. The hawkers 'cries, the people's bargaining, the sound of horses and chariots, and the beautiful voices of girls... all of this was a lively song in the market.
On the bluestone paved road, the little girl Dongfang Xian 'er was looking around with a few sticks of candied haws in her hands. Ye Jianli was following behind with a bitter face, forming a sharp contrast with the girl's cheerful expression. Ye Jianli thought of how Dongfang Xian 'er bought the candied haws and found it funny." When Dongfang Xian 'er took the candied fruit and was about to give the money to the old man who was smiling and waiting for the money, she forgot that she did not have the habit of bringing money when she went shopping. It was because in the past, she would always have a servant girl following her. This time…she could only ask Ye Jianli for help in embarrassment. Seeing the young girl's anxious eyes, Ye Jianli could not help but secretly rejoice at his foresight. He had brought a money bag before he left…
"Brother Jianli, look, there's a jewelry stall over there. Let's go and take a look!”the little girl said excitedly. Ye Jianli thought to himself, Could it be that every woman loves to dress up? Since the little girl had spoken, he had no choice but to go. He nodded and said,"Okay, let's go!"
When the small stall owner saw a man and a woman walking towards his stall, he understood that his customers had arrived. Looking at the clothes and temperament of the young man and woman, he could tell at a glance that they were the young masters and young ladies of wealthy families. It seemed that they were big customers this time! The vendor was secretly delighted.
Seeing the young man and woman approaching, the vendor smiled and said,""Miss, what kind of jewelry do you want? It was guaranteed to be complete and of good quality, and the price was fair!”Ye Jianli thought in his heart, you can just brag! What good stuff can a stall like yours have? Even if there were, there were only a few! However, there was no change in his expression. "Can I choose for myself?" Dongfang Xian 'er asked.”"Sure!" The vendor's answer was simple and clear!
After waiting for a while, Ye Jianli couldn't wait any longer," It was so troublesome for women to choose things! Just as he was about to speak, he saw Dongfang Xian 'er holding a piece of jewelry in her hand.""Boss, I want this jewelry! How much?"
Ye Jianli looked over when he heard the voice. It was a phoenix hairpin with a lifelike phoenix carved on one end. The tip was polished to be extremely smooth and round. It shone brightly under the sunlight and indeed had a certain degree of temptation to women!
The vendor gave Dongfang Xianer a thumbs up and praised,""Young Lady really has good taste. This is the best jewelry this lowly one has. It is really suitable to match your fairy-like appearance! The original price was six hundred and twenty taels of silver, but today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I'll give you a lower price. Five hundred taels! I'm just here for a celebration!"
Five hundred taels? It was all thanks to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ye Jianli sucked in a breath of cold air. Seeing Dongfang Xianer being fooled by the peddler's words in the blink of an eye, Ye Jianli could only say,""Boss, isn't five hundred taels a bit too expensive for this phoenix hairpin? One had to know that jewelry depended on these points. The raw materials, processing, and color of this phoenix hairpin were all top-notch, but the raw materials were too poor, right?”
It seemed like he had met his match. Seeing the youth speak so eloquently, the vendor wiped his cold sweat. Actually, he did not understand the raw materials of this phoenix hairpin. Seeing that Ye Jianli could speak so eloquently, he could only smile bitterly and say,""How much is Young Master prepared to offer?"
Ye Jianli said," Since my younger sister really likes this phoenix hairpin, I can only buy it for him. How about this? I'll pay two hundred taels!" Boss, what do you think?" After saying that, he took out two hundred taels of silver notes from Tong Bao Bank and handed them to the stall owner.
Actually, the peddler was very nervous about how much the young man was offering, but seeing that the young man was offering quite a lot, he took the silver notes with a happy expression and said happily,"Sure, sure, two hundred taels!"
As soon as the transaction was completed, a strange voice sounded from behind."Yo, you look like you're dressed well. Why? Why did she have to bargain when buying jewelry for her lover? This little lady, why don't you follow me? I guarantee that you'll have a good life!”
Ye Jianli and Dongfang Xian 'er turned around at the same time and saw a green-robed youth holding a folding fan and gently waving it. He was quite handsome, but those indecent words came from the mouth of this handsome person.
Dongfang Xian 'er did not say anything and only looked at Ye Jianli. Her meaning was very simple," Do as you see fit!
Ye Jianli smiled bitterly and could only retort,""Sister Xian Er, did you hear a dog barking just now?”
"Yes, Brother Jianli!" Dongfang Xian 'er said seriously. I heard it just now!"
"Who are you calling a dog?" Hou Youzui was so angry that he folded his fan.”
Ye Jianli said calmly," What's the matter, my dear brother? Could it be that the dog just now was you?" Aiya, forgive me, forgive me. Greetings, Brother Dog!”After he finished speaking, he really bowed to Hou Youzui.
" Pfft!" Seeing Ye Jianli beating around the bush and scolding Hou Youzui, Dongfang Xian 'er covered her mouth and laughed out loud. Dongfang Xian' er was a beauty to begin with, and her smile made the surrounding commoners dumbfounded.
However, Hou Youzui was so angry that his lungs were about to explode. Had the world changed? How dare he disrespect the son of the Governor of Heavenly Wind? Without saying anything, he raised his fist and ran over.
Heh, a martial artist? Forget it, if you don't suffer a little, you won't know that the pot is made of iron! Ye Jianli also rushed over…
After a few bangs, the sound of bones being dislocated and the painful screams of the Governor's beloved son could be heard. Everyone saw the handsome Hou Youzui with a few bumps on his face and his hands hanging limply on the ground, lying on the floor and moaning in pain. Ye Jianli patted his sleeves and led the beautiful young lady to the other side of the market as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Hou You's miserable state, the commoners cheered and dispersed.
Ye Jianli felt helpless when he heard the cheers of the people." It seemed that the commoners were being oppressed by this guy! After this incident, the two of them lost the interest to continue strolling. Ye Jianli suggested that they turn back, and Dongfang Xian 'er agreed.
The two of them walked leisurely towards the Ye Residence…
