Chapter 1647: Earning Small Money Quietly
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Yangzhou City held a grand lantern festival as in previous years.
The weather is not that cold, and the Lantern Festival is the most lively festival of the year. Many people go out for fun with their wives and children, and young boys and girls also take this opportunity to express their love to each other.
Although Shi Li has no wife or children, and no one to confide her love to, it does not stop her from going out to watch the fun.
By the evening, Shi Li went to the house and took out all the beautiful clothes that she had hidden in the bottom of her closet.
She wore a light red wide-sleeved Liuxian skirt and a snow-white fox fur cape, which made her lips and teeth look even redder and whiter than any other girl in Yangzhou.
"Miss, you were one of the prettiest girls in Suzhou before, and now you are even prettier!" The maidservant was also there to cheer her up, taking out jeweled jewelry and asking Shi Li to wear it.
Shi Li let her help her dress up. Her eyes fell on the dressing table and she saw the inconspicuous silver bell hairpin again.
It’s hard to explain why, but among all the beautiful jewelry, she likes this hairpin the most.
As she was thinking about it, she reached out, took the hairpin and put it on her head.
It actually matches the clothes she is wearing today.
Lanterns are hung in every household in Yangzhou city, and even if you just take a casual walk along the river bank, it is a pleasing sight.
The streets where the lantern festival is held are even more lively.
Colorful lights, bustling people, and vendors setting up stalls along the street.
The most ordinary smell of fireworks makes people feel gentle and happy.
The maids and servants around her chattered, but Shi Li did not find it noisy and would occasionally chime in. The evening breeze blew her hair gently, and occasionally the silver bells made one or two crisp sounds.
There were many people coming to see the lantern festival, and no one noticed that Yu Mo was not too far away, but just following the group quietly not far behind.
After knowing what Liu Qihan did outside, he couldn't help but always think of Shi Li, and today was no exception.
I had no interest in the Lantern Festival, but thinking that Shi Li might come, I went out and came here.
It was also fate that I really saw Shi Li among the crowd.
After hesitating for a long time, he didn't dare to go forward to disturb him, so he just followed behind from a distance.
There is a small bridge built not far ahead. If you walk on it from one side, you can have a panoramic view of the scenery and lanterns from far and near. Almost everyone will go for a walk.
The maidservant beside her also thought that the scenery over there was better, and urged Shi Li to go over and take a look.
Shi Li was a little tempted, but still didn't go over.
He shook his head and said, "No, there are too many people over there. I'm worried something might happen..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he really heard a scream coming from the other side of the bridge.
There were so many people coming and going on the bridge that it was hard to tell who was squeezing whom, and even disputes and fights broke out.
Shi Li loves to watch the excitement, but she would definitely not go over to see this kind of excitement. After taking a look, she wanted to stay away from it. Unexpectedly, she saw an acquaintance standing on the bridge.
Liu Qihan and Wen Shiqing left their child in the care of their mother-in-law and went to visit the lantern festival.
Just now on the bridge, someone took advantage of the crowd and touched Wen Shiqing's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally, causing her to scream.
"Isn't that..." The maid also recognized Liu Qihan and almost couldn't help shouting out, but was glared at by Shi Li and stopped in time.
"It's too noisy over there, let's go back."
Shi Li withdrew her gaze and turned around, and met Yu Mo's gaze in the bustling crowd.
They looked into each other's eyes through many people.
Suddenly looking back, the man was in the dim light.
After a moment of surprise, Shi Li nodded to him generously, "You came to see the lanterns too."
Yu Mo looked at her as she walked towards him through the crowd, with an exquisite lantern in her hand.
"I didn't expect to meet the boss here, what a coincidence."
Of course he also saw Liu Qihan, otherwise he would not have come forward instead of dodging when Shi Li turned around.
She even thought crazy that since Liu Qihan was with another woman outside, why couldn't he go to Shi Li?
This idea was too shocking to be put here. Yu Mo knew that no one else would understand it, so he continued to suppress it deep in his heart.
After taking a breath, he raised his head and handed the lantern in his hand to the maid next to him.
"Boss, I'll leave the lanterns for you to play with."
The maid was so familiar with him that she took the lantern without waiting for Shi Li to speak, and held it up in amazement, exclaiming, "What a beautiful lantern!"
Shi Li's attention was not on the light.
Looking at Yu Mo, she vaguely felt that something was wrong with him. Thinking back to the past, a shocking idea suddenly came to her mind, which made her eyes widen.
