"It will be the Flower God Festival in a few days. I want to go to the temple to ask for a marriage!”A few servant girls gathered together and chatted about the Flower Festival that was going to be held in a few days.
"I have to go home to see my mother." One of them said.
"You're still asking for marriage? I've seen you ask for a marriage several times in the past few years, but I haven't seen you find one. Is it because you can't do it yourself?”A few of them joked.
"What? The old fortune-teller said that I have a life of wealth. It's just that it hasn't come out yet.”
"Don't wait until the flowers wither!"
The Flower God Festival was an annual festival in Chang 'an, which was equivalent to the Marriage Festival. An unmarried woman would write her own keepsake and hang it on the wishing tree in front of the temple, also known as the Marriage Tree. Then, the man would use his keepsake to smash the woman's keepsake on the Marriage Tree. If the woman's keepsake fell off at one time, a marriage could be promoted. Of course, there were also people who put up sky lanterns to make wishes. It was said that it was very lively that night. The people who listened to it all felt that it was easy to imagine.
Tang Yan hopped to Fu Yang and said,""Cousin, the Flower God Festival is in two days. I want you to accompany me to the temple, okay?”
Fu Yang looked at Tang Yan awkwardly and wanted to say," Isn't there still two days? It was too early to say that!
"This?" Fu Yang seemed troubled.
"Go! Don't worry about Cousin Sister-in-law. Cousin Sister-in-law will accompany me, right? Cousin Sister-in-law!" Tang Yan shouted at Red Lotus, who was walking away.
Xiaofu, who was following beside her, glared at Tang Yan fiercely as if she was saying," Who wants to accompany you? My Young Miss did not even say anything, so how could it be your turn?"
Hong Lian walked over and said,"It's good that we go together that day!"”When Xiaofu heard that, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"Thank you, cousin-in-law!"
Fu Yang and Xiaofu looked at Tang Yan in surprise. Since when did she address Tang Yan as cousin-in-law so intimately? Didn't she treat her as an enemy in the past?
That was not all.
Seeing that Hong Lian was about to carry a bucket of water, Tang Yan ran over from afar and took the water from her hand.""I'll do this. Cousin Sister-in-law, you go rest first!”Then, everyone saw Tang Yan struggling to carry the full bucket to her destination. There was only half a bucket of water left.
When Hong Lian was giving the ginseng soup to Fu Xi, Tang Yan rushed out and took the ginseng soup from Hong Lian."Cousin's wife, I'll take care of this. You go and rest.”Then, Tang Yan took the ginseng soup and slipped away. Hong Lian looked at Tang Yan's eager back and wanted to tell her that she had stewed the ginseng soup for six hours just to reward her father-in-law. Now, Tang Yan had stolen all the credit.
When Hong Lian was collecting the bedsheets to dry outside, Tang Yan appeared again. She snatched the other bedsheet from Hong Lian's hand and said with a smile,""Cousin's wife, I'll take care of this. You go and rest.”This time, Red Lotus did not let her go. She pulled the blanket back and said,"Thank you, cousin, but there's no need." Tang Yan stubbornly pulled the blanket over and said,""It's okay, cousin-in-law. I'll do it.”However, Red Lotus refused to do so. The two of them continued to tug at each other on the drying rack. In the end, a row of drying racks collapsed in an instant with a clang. The white and light clothes spun in the air and fell to the ground. Tang Yan said awkwardly,"I'm sorry, cousin-in-law. I didn't mean it.”……
When Hong Lian…whenever Hong Lian did something, Tang Yan would always appear. She was just short of Hong Lian taking a bath when Tang Yan said,""Cousin in law, I'll wash it for you.”Red Lotus felt numb just thinking about it. She could not get used to Tang Yan's sudden enthusiasm. Yu Duo was worried about what was wrong with Miss Biao, and Xiaofu was even more puzzled as she looked at Tang Yan. Everyone in the residence was curious about what the Young Mistress had fed the usually competitive Biao Young Lady to make her do this and that for the Young Mistress. Even Fu Xi was surprised by Tang Yan's change.
Hong Lian stood by the bed and tidied up the blanket, preparing to sleep. Suddenly, someone hugged her slender waist. Hong Lian was so frightened that she threw the blanket away. Before the other party could do anything, she quickly pulled away the hands on her waist and turned around. However, she met Fu Yang's burning gaze. Hong Lian did not expect it to be Fu Yang. She probably did not expect it to be him. "You're back!" Red Lotus smiled awkwardly. I'll go get water, I'll go get water!”Just as Hong Lian was about to turn around and leave, Fu Yang pulled her back and she turned back. They looked at each other at a close distance. Hong Lian's hands were pressed against his chest as she looked at Fu Yang nervously. She was really nervous, even more nervous than on their wedding night.
"I can finally feel your warmth. It seems that the cold has gone away.”Fu Yang said. Hong Lian really wanted to push him away. She couldn't stand the atmosphere.
"I'll go get some water for my husband." Hong Lian said as she tried to break free from his hand. If she really wanted to break free, she would definitely be able to break free. Moreover, she wanted to escape, but she could not let him suspect her.
"Why do I feel that you're very afraid and want to escape? Are you afraid of me?" Fu Yang pretended to be sad and Red Lotus was not used to it. Why did he become a different person after coming back?
Red Lotus quickly shook her head and said,"How can that be?" Hubby, let me go first. If you strangle me like this, I won't be able to breathe.”After he finished speaking, Fu Yang loosened his grip a little, but he did not let go of her. Fu Yang moved closer to her, and Hong Lian's nervous heart beat faster. Just as Fu Yang was about to go up and Hong Lian was about to dodge, Fu Yang suddenly stopped when he was a foot away from her lips. He let go of Hong Lian and said coldly,"Go get some water!"
Hong Lian's anxious heart finally settled down and she quickly escaped. Fu Yang looked at her back and his gaze began to be complicated.
On the day of the Flower Festival, the residence was as usual, but the servants began to do things in a hurry.
After what happened that night, Hong Lian felt very awkward when she saw Fu Yang. However, Fu Yang was still gentle to her. Hong Lian thought that she might be the only one who cared too much and thought too much.
Autumn dusk always came very quickly. It was only when a faint red glow appeared on the horizon of the Prime Minister's residence that it indicated that it was already evening.
Tang Yan sat in front of the sink and was dressing herself up for the Flower God Festival. She kept thinking that this hairpin was not pretty, and that hairpin kept sticking on her head. In the end, she was so bored that she threw the hairpin away. She wanted to call Yu Duo over, but she didn't see her for a long time.”
" Miss Biao, Miss Biao," Yu Duo's voice rushed in. Tang Yan was about to ask her where she had gone. "Young Master Shi is here," Yu Duo said.”
"Young Master Shi?" Hearing Yu Duo say something about Young Master Shi, Tang Yan read it out suspiciously. She couldn't figure out who Young Master Shi was.
"It's the son of the Minister, Shi Fan, Young Master Shi!”Yu Duo really had to hand it to Biao Young Lady, she was actually so forgetful.
Tang Yan immediately stood up in shock.""What did you say?"
"Young Master Shi is here. He said that he came to look for Biao Young Lady. Now, Old Master should be leading Young Master Shi to Biao Young Lady's room.”Yu Duo told Tang Yan the exact information.
Now it was Tang Yan's turn to walk around the room anxiously and recite,""Why is Shi Fanzhi looking for me?" Tang Yan shivered and got goosebumps when she thought of Shi Fanzhi's feminine face and his effeminate appearance.
"Biao Young Lady, don't you know that Young Master Shi already has a soft spot for you? I heard that he won't marry anyone but you.”Yu Duo asked.
"How would I know?" Tang Yan was already very anxious. Yu Duo could have just fainted. Everyone in the residence knew about Young Master Shi's feelings for her cousin. Moreover, Young Master Shi had even said that he would not marry anyone other than her cousin. In fact, they thought that Young Master Shi was quite good. He was good-looking and had a good background. The two of them were simply a match of equal status.
Yu Duo looked towards the door. Her expression suddenly changed as she looked at her boss. From afar, she saw Fu Xi leading Shi Fanzhi over, talking and laughing. Yu Duo quickly called out to Tang Yan,"Cousin, they're here. Master and Young Master Shi are here."”She turned around and looked at Tang Yan. Suddenly, she couldn't see Tang Yan. Yu Duo was so scared that she started to search the room. "Biao Young Lady?" Yu Duo was puzzled. Where did he go? Yu Duo turned around and looked at the window. She was so frightened that her jaw almost fell off.
At this moment, Tang Yan was trying her best to squeeze to the window. She looked at Yu Duo and said with rapid breathing,"Yu Duo, if they come looking for me, just say that you've already left, understand?”
"Ah, oh, I know." Yu Duo regained her senses and immediately nodded. Tang Yan's figure disappeared in an instant, but she heard a " bang " outside the window. It was the sound of her body hitting the ground, followed by Tang Yan's painful cry.
Yu Duo worriedly ran to the window and asked,""Biao Young Lady, are you alright?"
Tang Yan was nowhere to be seen outside the window.
