Chapter 129
"What wish do you want to make?" Qi Tengmiao and Dou Kou walked one after the other in a secluded alley, "Let's find a place where there are few people, otherwise there are so many lanterns and wishes, and God will not know which one is ours."

Cardamom didn't doubt that it was there, and nodded with a smile, the two of them went outside the city to set up Kongming lanterns.

Qi Tengmiao bought quite a few Kongming lanterns, and cardamom distinguished them by color.

There are 3 red ones, 5 green ones, 2 yellow ones, and one that is obviously two or three times larger than other Kongming lanterns is also bright red, like a red lantern hanging on the New Year's door.

"Wow, can you buy such a big one?" Cardamom took the biggest one with interest, because Kongming lanterns are all folded and flattened into a sheet of paper. .

"This one is for my mother. If you like it, I'll buy another one later," Qi Tengmiao finished speaking, and the cardamom silently let go as if she had done something wrong.

She looked at the biggest red Kongming lantern and smiled awkwardly, "There are so many, I put these, you put the red one, it's fair."

Qi Tengmiao nodded with a smile, "You have so many wishes, please don't make wishes that I can't fulfill."

Cardamom smiled slyly, picked up a yellow one and said, "Then I will make a wish first, I hope you will be in groups of wives and concubines."

Seeing the girl laughing and making noise, Qi Tengmiao pretended to be angry and said, "I, like my father, just want to grow old together with one person. If you really want to compete with everyone in the future, it's okay, and you can be happy."

She lit a Kongming lantern, and the candle burned slowly and the heat filled the Kongming lantern. The yellow fire light was reflected on Cardamom's cheek. She lowered her eyes and asked, "Haven't you said anything about your mother? Why didn't she talk to me?" Where do you live together?"

The red Kongming lantern in Qi Tengmiao's hand was also full of heat. He moved his hand away slowly, and a ball of fire-like color slowly rose into the sky. When it skyrocketed, he said lightly, "My mother is not in good health, so I can only live in a house that can give her A place where disease is cured and life is extended.”

Cardamom nodded, her eyes lit up slightly, "I can help your mother see a doctor."

"You?" Qi Tengmiao smiled helplessly, "The best doctor in the world can't take care of my mother's illness. Although you have some medical skills, you can't take care of my mother's illness."

"Then if my master comes out of the mountain, maybe I can help your mother see a doctor?" Cardamom didn't have a master, but when she was questioned on many occasions, she said that she had worshiped a hermit master as her teacher, and she even paid homage to Wang from the city. The genius doctor is the master, and her medical skills also dispel other people's doubts.

"Isn't your master roaming around? Did you know he would return to this place?" Qi Tengmiao pulled Dou Kou's shoulders and turned her gaze from the direction of the Kongming Lantern to his direction, until the glowing red Kongming Lantern was shot down by the sound of arrows piercing through the sky , let go of his hand, and said pretending to be innocent, "I'll take care of my business, don't get meddled."

Cardamom didn't understand why he was full of anticipation just now, but his tone suddenly changed to make her strange.

Feeling that Cardamom was a little lost, Qi Tengmiao promised, "Trust me, the less you know, the safer you are."

Since he didn't want her to know, Cardamom didn't ask any more questions.

Some things may become a burden if you know them. Qi Tengmiao and her have the same thoughts on this point. She doesn't want to tell her father and mother her true identity. Although they are the closest people to her in this world, if One day they found out that their daughter was already dead, and they might not be able to accept it.

"Let's not talk about unhappy things, let's go to the main street to watch the lanterns. My mother, Xiaojiu, and sister-in-law are all over there," Dou Kou remembered and promised to buy delicious food for the young lady, but she probably couldn't find her for so long. We are all in a hurry.

Cardamom grabbed Qi Tengmiao and wanted to go out of the alley, but there were too many people at the exit, "What should I do? There are so many people, it will be dawn when they find my mother."

"I have a way, come with me," Qi Tengmiao grabbed the cardamom by the hand and led her to the back alley, looking around for no one, he picked up the cardamom and flew up to the roof.

Under the cold moonlight, the boy jumped up and down under the undulating roof with a person in his arms, looking for the person below.

Finally found Xiao Jiu's figure under a big tree.

She was pestering her mother to buy her a sugar figurine.

"It's right there, I'll let you go down," Qi Tengmiao turned over and jumped off the roof, and put the cardamom behind the big tree.

"Mother, concubine, what are you doing?" Cardamom came out from behind the big tree, and Xiao Jiu was lying on the ground with her mother's calf in her arms, refusing to get up.

"Just now Xiaojiu was looking for you, Xiaojiu, your sister is back, get up quickly," Osmanthus fragrans looked helplessly at the crying Xiaojiu, "It's not that mother didn't buy it for you, you ate so much, your belly is round Yes, I can’t eat any more, mother will buy it back, can I eat it tomorrow?”

Xiao Jiu wiped his snot and said sadly, "No, no, that bad brother robbed Xiao Jiu of the fruit, if mother doesn't give it to Xiao Jiu, she will give it to the bad brother, Xiao Jiu doesn't want the bad brother to eat Xiao Jiu's fruit .”

Osmanthus smiled and hugged Xiaojiu, "Mother promises you, it's all your fault if you don't feed that bad brother?"

Seeing Xiaojiu laughing through tears, Doukou leaned against the tree helplessly and said, "Mother, if Xiaojiu continues to eat like this, it will be difficult for her in-law's family in the future. Who can afford to feed so many daughter-in-laws."

One meal of rations equals her daily rations.

Xiao Jiu cried again, crying in the arms of Osmanthus fragrans, heartbroken.

Cardamom laughed heartlessly, but she closed her mouth with a smile after her mother said something.

"Where did you go just now?" Osmanthus coaxed Xiao Jiu, and the crying gradually disappeared after a while, Xiao Jiu fell asleep on Osmanthus's shoulder, and the one who was crying and making noise just now was actually sleepy.

"Uh, I went to meet Qi just now," he glanced behind him, but there was no one there, and he walked around behind the tree, still no one.

"Who did you say you were going to see?"

"No one, see Mr. Bai coming, mother, you see that Xiao Jiu is also tired, let's go home, where is Chunjuan concubine?"

Osmanthus hugged Xiaojiu and followed Cardamom, and the mother and daughter went to the cloth shop to find Chunjuan.

Today's Qixi Festival, the owner of the cloth workshop is quite business-minded. Stepping in, Dougao saw the old tailor choosing fabrics for his sister-in-law.

"Please come inside, please come inside," the young man came out to greet people, Chunjuan looked back and saw that it was sweet-scented osmanthus, and with a smile on her face, she pulled sweet-scented osmanthus over and asked her to choose one of the two batches of fabric.

"Daniu was elected as the head of the village. You can't wear old clothes when you worship in the ancestral hall. Come and see, which one is better?"

"I think the blue one looks pretty good, why don't you ask the tailor what it means?"

The old tailor smiled warmly, pointed at the batch of cyan fabrics and said, "Since I am the village head, I naturally choose this color, according to the size you gave me, and make a loose-fitting one, so I can take advantage of my status."
