Cheng Jin came to his senses and quickly thanked Lu Hanzhi. There were many people in this temple fair, and every year there were people who were separated from their families, abducted and disappeared.Cheng Jin is getting haircut this year and is about to get married. Even if she loses even a day and a half, it will cause a lot of gossip. Wasn't this the case with the Wu family girls years ago?Although she was rescued, her fiancé's family soon came to break up the engagement. The Wu family also thought she was embarrassed and sent her to the family temple before the new year was over.

Lu Hanzhi smiled and said, "It's a rare time to come out. It's really lively here, but there are so many people on the street, so be careful to disperse them."

Cheng Jin nodded and said: "I know, it's just a temporary dazzle. It would be great if I could go for a walk. Unfortunately, I felt unwell during the Lantern Festival and couldn't go out."

At this time, there are not many opportunities for unmarried girls to go out, let alone play freely on the streets. They only attend the Lantern Festival and the Chinese Valentine's Day every year.The celebrations of these two festivals are all in the city. The government will also arrange for officers to patrol the city, and they will be followed by maids and women. As long as you pay attention and don't go to remote places, there will be no danger.As for a small market like this, firstly, it is far away from the capital, and there are many people on the street, which can easily cause trouble. Secondly, there are no official patrols. If someone really encounters someone with ill intentions, it will be difficult for a daughter's family to protect itself.

Lu Hanzhi understood Cheng Jin's regret of not being able to go out during the Lantern Festival, and just smiled and said: "It's not just this one time, there are still many days to come. I can't think of this time. After a while, it won't be the Chinese Valentine's Day." Is it a festival?"

Although counting the days will still take half a year, but after the New Year, the days do pass quickly, and this period of time has passed quickly. Cheng Jin nodded and said: "Yes, it passed in the blink of an eye!"

While he was talking, another group of people came over. In the first month of the year, many people came to Hongfa Temple to fulfill their vows, and many nearby people came to do business here because of the benefits. Simple stalls were located one next to another, and people were crowded around each other. of.The maid and woman who followed saw that there were so many people on the street, so they quickly protected their master inside and stopped the crowd from squeezing over.

Lu Hanzhi frowned slightly when he saw this. It was not like he had never been here in the past years. Although there were always many people, it was not like this.In the midst of doubts, Guo Xinlian was squeezed over and was about to fall. Lu Hanzhi reached out to help her, but saw that her face was pale and her lips were trembling slightly.Just as he was about to ask her what was wrong, Guo Xinlian came closer and whispered: "Cousin, they have knives in their hands!"

Lu Hanzhi was shocked when he heard this, but he could hold his breath at this time. He stretched out his hand to support Guo Xinlian and looked up calmly. Sure enough, he noticed a little cold light flashing under the sun.At the moment, she didn't know who these people were, what their purpose was, and whether they were here for them. Lu Hanzhi didn't dare to shout out, for fear that they were not here for them in the first place and would be killed directly by her calling them.A few thoughts passed through my mind, but before I could call Bai Ju, I saw those people had already passed the family members and walked forward.

Guo Xinlian, who was tensed up and turned pale with fear, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw people passing by the Cheng family and leaving. However, he had been tense just now, and when he relaxed, he almost fell down. He was supported by Lu Hanzhi and Cheng Jin. Barely standing up.

Lu Hanzhi saw that the rest of the Cheng family had not noticed this and had no intention of speaking out at this time, so he asked Qiu Chan to support Guo Xinlian, while he fell one step behind and explained to Bai Ju.When people cross over and leave the Cheng family, most likely they are not coming for the Cheng family, but with this attitude, no matter who they are going for, I'm afraid it's not a good thing. If they don't meet, that's fine. Since they do, let's not rush forward. Help can always be found by looking for official servants for people, but today the whole family is going out. Although Lu Hanzhi wants to help, he will not put his family in danger, so naturally he cannot mobilize too many guards to help.

This stretch of road was not short, but thinking about it made it even longer. It wasn't until he stepped into the temple, and the sound of chanting sutras could be faintly heard among the sounds of people passing by, that Lu Hanzhi's uneasy heart gradually calmed down.

A group of people followed Mrs. Cheng to offer incense and ask for fortune-telling. Mrs. Cheng went to listen to the eminent monk's sermon, and the others dispersed and played in the temple. They left early and could still walk around the temple and return later. Mansion.The carriage was bumpy all the way here, and Lu Hanzhi didn't want to move around much, so he simply found a place with a nice view to sit.Not long after the New Year, it was still very cold, and the snow in the mountains had not yet melted. When the wind passed, the snow on the trees fell rustlingly.Guo Xinlian was frightened, and she finally recovered. Cheng Jin didn't notice the flash of cold light. When he saw Guo Xinlian's face was pale, he just thought she was feeling unwell and sat down now. He quickly warmed her hands with a hand stove and said, "My cousin is not feeling well? Do you need to ask the doctor to take a look?"

Guo Xinlian saw that the other party was not coming for them, and also noticed that Lu Hanzhi asked someone to check on the situation. Now she felt relieved. Seeing that Cheng Jin was worried about her, she shook her head and said, "Third cousin, don't worry about me, I'm fine. Maybe I accidentally breathed in the cold wind and felt a little uncomfortable for a while, but I'm fine now."

Seeing that Guo Xinlian's expression softened, Cheng Jin gave her the hand stove and said with relief, "My cousin will have someone make a bowl of ginger soup when she gets back. It's cold today, so don't catch the cold!"

"Third sister is becoming more considerate now. She is indeed a big girl!" Seeing this, Lu Hanzhi smiled and teased Cheng Jin.

"Sister-in-law!" Cheng Jin saw Guo Xinlian and Lu Hanzhi smiling, and knew that Lu Hanzhi was teasing her, so she couldn't help but stamp her feet, "Sister-in-law, if you keep doing this, I won't be with you anymore!"

Lu Hanzhi said with a smile: "Cousin Lian also laughed. Why don't the third sisters talk about her? It's okay if you don't want to be with me. I'll just be with cousin Lian!"

"Sister-in-law——" Cheng Jin's face turned red with embarrassment. She didn't mean what she said. Although she had two sisters-in-law, she got along with Lu Hanzhi more, and Cheng Junze was her brother, so she naturally had to be more affectionate. Secondly, Wang Xueran has a stronger temper and doesn't value her sister-in-law, who is a concubine. Naturally, she is more relaxed and comfortable getting along with her than with Lu Hanzhi.

Lu Hanzhi just teased her. Seeing her like this, he poured hot tea and handed it to her and said, "Okay, I just reminded my cousin Lian. You should be more careful and be careful if you catch the cold."

Cheng Jin was not really angry with Lu Hanzhi at first. When he saw this, he took the hot tea without drinking it. He just warmed his hands and said, "Sister-in-law, did you ask for a signature just now? Did you get a good one?" Her aunt had given her instructions carefully. At the end of the year, She was about to get married, and her aunt asked her to sincerely pray that her marriage would go smoothly.

"Of course I was asked to sign when I came, but it's a good sign!" It was just the Chinese New Year, and the temple would make some preparations. She looked at it carefully, and most of the signs she got were good and good.
