"I'm really tired after playing with you for so long. Maybe let Master Gui invest a few on my behalf and act as a way to help the sisters to cheer up."

Youmeng deliberately supported her head and made her tired look, and then she told Guixu seriously. "You have to show me a good performance. This princess has been singing all the way from the beginning. These are the bargaining chips I won." She proudly pushed a handful of ivory chopsticks in front of him, and smiled slanted with a slight smile, "There are all famous beauties in the capital. If you lose so much that you even lose your pants, it will be bad... I will not save you anyway."

This girl's mouth was so bad that she made Guixu feel ashamed. He tilted his mouth and said with a doting voice: "Sister Nine, you can't believe in my ability? My Guixu's nickname is 'Gui Liushen'! The God of Six Arts! Just sit there with confidence, see my brother, I am brave and overwhelming for you!"

Youmeng laughed and clapped her hands repeatedly, but she was so funny inside.

She and Guixu grew up together, either they didn’t know how much he had, or they wanted him to be ugly on an occasion like today to have fun.

The gate of the Chen Mansion Ancestral Hall is open opposite the courtyard. There is a tall camphor tree in the southeast corner, growing lush branches and leaves. The black-clothed Xuanyue stays on a piece of branches, hiding itself in the lush leaves, and concentrating on the ancestral hall.

Incense is offered indoors, as bright as daytime. A woman with light makeup faces the statue in front of the table, and is chanting scriptures with her hands.

She is Liu Zhaoyan, the wife of Wuliang Hou Chen Rui, and Siqiao's mother.

Xuanyue's vision ended with her back. She just looked at her silently, her heart was full of tenderness and she was still sad.

There were many firework merchants' stalls gathered at the market. There were too many customers coming and seeing them, and the vendors were a little too busy, so they could not notice at all when the fireworks behind them had been secretly replaced by someone.

Nowadays, Luoyang is like a city that never sleeps. The bustling street market is full of people, men, women, and young and old, immersed in a joyful atmosphere. At this time, a mysterious man appeared in the crowd, wearing a black long cloak and a wide cape covering his head, walking slowly. Even though passers-by were attracted by his strange outfit, they were finally in the dead face, in the shadow formed by the brim of the hat, and could not see anything.

He slowly walked through the bustling crowds and stopped near the firework vendors. The dense figures of the guests who were rushing to buy fireworks formed the best barrier, covering him with his hand, sprinkled gold-like powder on one of the cars loaded with fireworks, and then left quietly, just as he appeared, without realizing it.

A maid walked into the ancestral hall with a tea tray in her hand, bent her knees and said, "The medicine is ready, madam, please drink it while it's hot."

Liu turned around and picked up the medicine bowl on her plate, slowly blew away the heat, raised her head and closed her eyes and slowly drank the bitter soup. Then she put the empty bowl back and asked, "When is it?"

"The wife is in the third hour of Xu."

"Si Qiao hasn't come back yet?" She tucked the corners of her mouth with a veil and wiped all the remains of the medicine.

"Miss with the Marquis to the palace for a banquet. I'm afraid it's not too early to come back. It's better to go to bed earlier if the lady takes the medicine?" The maid advised him considerately.

She was worried and somehow she felt uneasy: "I don't have any sleepiness yet, so accompany me to the yard for a walk."

"Yes, madam."

She walked out and stood in front of the veranda steps. The moonlight suddenly illuminated her face. Xuan Yue was nervously stunned and couldn't help but lean forward, just wanting to see her more clearly and clearly.
