Chapter 280 Warm Jade Comb!
Outside the General's Mansion, a carriage was parked.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it must be very lively outside. It is said that there is a dragon boat race on Jinming Lake, which is very beautiful, so I want to go and see it.

When she was in the capital, her mother used to accompany her to play, but after a few years when her mother became seriously ill and left, she felt bored by herself, so she went there with her younger sister Pang Shuangyue, but every time she tricked her so badly, It's just that I haven't felt it yet, it's really stupid.

Now, when she went with Li Qingmu, it was another scene.

"Hey, wait for me, wait for us!"

Xiang Yin and Chai Qiaoer also came, and rushed to catch up. They didn't bring Xiao Douding, and they were worried that there were too many children and the child would be abducted by bad guys, so they let him stay in the general's mansion for safety.

"Sister Yueer, sister Qiaoer!"

In the distance, Yang Zhuoya's carriage also came.

Yesterday she came to Yue Yue to watch the dragon boat race today, and everyone agreed to gather at the entrance of the General's Mansion, because the General's Mansion had to be passed by on the way to Jinming Lake.

Yang Zhuoya came here frequently these two days, and gradually became acquainted with Chai Qiaoer, Chai Qiaoer was gentle and generous, and knew etiquette, and became friends with Yang Zhuoya.

"It's horrible, I almost couldn't spend the holiday with Xiaoya."

When Su Shi met Li Qingmu, the first thing he said was a lot of complaints. The Dragon Boat Festival is a folk festival, but the Chang Dynasty still has to go. There is a censor who is going to go to the Chang Dynasty today, so he wants to find Su Shi to change classes.

For a spoiled wife madman, if he promised his wife to play with her, how could he miss the appointment?As a result, the two had a lot of quarrels, and their faces were red and red. In the end, Su Shi was slightly better at eloquence, defeated the other party, and came out contentedly.

Li Qingmu shook his head and smiled lightly: "If you want me, throw a wat board at him, and see if he dares to talk!"

"Ah Mu, you smashed that wat board too hard, Mr. Zhao still has a bump on his forehead, hahaha..."

Su Shi pointed at Li Qingmu and scolded with a smile. Xiang Yin looked enviously at the side. He really envied the days when they were able to go to the Yamen.

Last year, Xiang Yin participated in Qiuwei. He was full of confidence, but he lost his name to Sun Shan. He felt very sad.

For a son of a merchant family like him, if he wanted to become an official in the court, he had to take the imperial examination.

It's not easy whether it's the right way or the shortcut.

Being an official in agriculture, business and industry is always the first place, but the status of a businessman is not high.

Even if the Great Zhou is open, the emperor is enlightened, and there are fewer constraints on businessmen, but if people go to high places, who is willing to be a commoner for the rest of their lives?

Several generations of the Xiang family have been in business and have accumulated a lot of wealth, so they wanted to become an official, so that the Xiang family's ancestors could follow suit.

Xiang's father devoted himself to cultivating him, but Xiang Yin failed, and he felt a little guilty, feeling sorry for his father and the ancestors of the Xiang family.

"Hey, Brother Xiang, why are you so lonely?"

Li Qingmu turned his back to Xiang Yin, and didn't see his frustration, but Su Shi did.

"No……"

"A Yin, how was your scientific examination last year?"

Li Qingmu got to the point as soon as he asked, Xiang Yin felt sad, "No."

Li Qingmu was silent for a moment, and said: "That's okay, although you have to wait for two years, but you stay in the capital for these two years, and when you settle down, you can take the scientific examination in Shengjing City, and the number of admissions will be higher than that in Jiangling. There are so many counties, you have a chance!"

"Really?" Xiang Yin's eyes lit up.

"Naturally, Su Shi and I will be able to tutor you together at that time, and it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Xiang Yin glanced at Su Shi, saw him nodding his head, and said happily, "Then thank you both!"

"You're welcome, it's rare for everyone to chat, haha!"

"You two gentlemen, Ma'am, Jinming Lake is in front of you. There are many people over there. Do you want to get off here?"

Wang Xiaoliu stopped the carriage with a very respectful expression.

"Then get off here, or take a walk!"

"it is good!"

Three couples of young people got out of the carriage respectively.

They all came to play with their own little lady, and the candles were just an eyesore for others, so the three young couples tacitly chose to play separately.

"Amu, we came early, the dragon boat race hasn't started yet? Shall we go over there to see?"

Obscure Moon pointed to the front, there were a lot of small vendors in that area, selling all kinds of things, including food, things for use, things for play, a dazzling array of things.

"Madam, do you want sugar figurines? The villain's craftsmanship is excellent. Whatever you want, the villain will make for you!"

In front of a small stall, the master sugar maker put a large piece of brown sugar into a hot pot and let it melt slowly. On the other side, he used a spoon to scoop up a spoonful of syrup and moved it back and forth on an iron plate. A soaring phoenix appeared on the iron plate.

Finally, he took a bamboo stick, pressed it on the central axis of the phoenix, and carefully scooped up the phoenix with a spatula.

There was a little girl in a pink skirt next to her. She fell in love with the phoenix, gave her five copper coins, and took them away.

"Madam, why not? Many adults also play, hehe!"

The craftsman chuckled.

"Okay, make me a pair, just... just like my husband and I, okay?"

"Okay, ma'am, wait a moment."

Li Qingmu watched the master craftsman quickly paint on the iron plate, leaned into the little daughter-in-law's ear, and murmured in a low voice: "Why are we the two of you? The sugar figurines are ugly and lack freshness!"

"I just want you to be ugly, why?"

Obscure Moon gave Li Qingmu an angry look, this man is so handsome and capable, will he be seduced by other women one day?
Without a child, there will be less of a bond between the two parties, and Ozuki feels very unsafe in her heart.

Li Qingmu had already turned his head to look at the two sugar men, but he didn't notice the anxiety in Ouyue's eyes.

"Okay, sir, you take it. Characters are a little more expensive, a total of twenty copper coins."

"it is good!"

After paying the bill, the couple each took a candy figurine and walked into the crowd.

Behind them, in a small alley, a masked woman slowly walked out.

The woman has a graceful figure and an elegant posture. Just by looking at her back, she must be an all-powerful beauty. But if you look closely, you will find that there are light marks on her forehead and cheeks, even with good makeup. Modifications are also difficult to completely cover up.

Her eyes looked at the pair of men and women, her eyes were poisoned: "Bitch, you hurt me so much, today I will give you a big gift!"

Her voice was extremely cold, and a sneer sneered at the corner of her mouth.

Ozuki held the sugar figurine in her hand, and licked it from time to time, it was sweet and delicious.

The two of them have visited many shops along the way, most of which are for food, and Li Qingmu carried several large and small bags on his back, all of which were dim sum bought by Lu Yue.

"Sell combs, good combs!"

Not far away, there was a call. It was a comb booth. An old man with a long beard yelled twice from time to time. Perhaps he was tired of shouting, so he stopped.

"A good warm jade comb, does anyone want it? Madam, you are so beautiful, would you like to see the villain's comb? They are all made of high-quality materials and polished very smooth. If you don't believe me, you can try it. ?”

Seeing Obscure Moon approaching, the old man asked in a hoarse voice.

Obscure Moon originally wanted to leave, but when she heard the words "Nuanyu Comb", her feet stopped.

She turned around, looked at several jade combs on the stall, and asked curiously, "Is this... made of Nuanyu?"
