Qi Younian has been paying attention to Ji Xiaotang's every move, and Ji Xiaotang's subtle expression changes did not escape his eyes.⊥,

"Xiaotang, what's wrong?" Qi Younian asked.

"Nothing." Ji Xiaotang shook his head, "I just saw someone, and it seemed familiar." But after thinking about it, she was not sure. The occurrence of such a situation only showed one thing, and it was obviously not the person she was familiar with on weekdays.

Ji Xiaotang said it lightly, if someone else would let it go.

But Qi Younian is different.

Qi Younian believed in Ji Xiaotang's intuition. If it was ordinary personnel, Ji Xiaotang would not care about it at all. If Ji Xiaotang cared about it, it would definitely not be ordinary personnel.

Qi Younian asked Ji Xiaotang in detail where he saw the person, what characteristics did that person have. Ji Xiaotang recalled and said it. Qi Younian nodded to the two personal soldiers beside him.

The two personal soldiers immediately went to the stall Ji Xiaotang mentioned.

"Maybe you've read it wrong." Ji Xiaotang said hurriedly when he saw Qi Younian's intentions.

"It's okay."

Without waiting for the two personal soldiers to come back to speak, Qi Younian continued to take Ji Xiaotang and Mu Wanjie forward.

This is the time when crabs are the most plump. There are shops selling crabs in the alley. They look quite large and there are many people buying them, and there are long queues.

Mu Wanjie said he wanted to buy it.

"You don't need to buy this." Qi Younian said, "Someone was about to give me some good crabs, but I told him to send them directly to Mu's mansion."

"Uncle Ayou, are you going to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with us? I heard from my father that I would like to invite Uncle Ayou to come to celebrate the festival at home." Mu Wanjie took Qi Younian's hand, his big eyes shining.

"It's a big deal, it must be." Ji Xiaotang said first, looking at Qi Younian, "Ayou, you don't have any other plans."

"I have no other plans, so I naturally want to celebrate the festival with everyone." Qi Younian said with a smile.

Ji Xiaotang and Mu Wanjie were both very happy.

As he continued along the way, Ji Xiaotang bought a lot of things in a mess and walked around the alleys of Zuoyi, and a few people came to the front of the Osmanthus Building.

The shopkeeper hurriedly came out.

Because of the last incident, the shopkeeper was obviously impressed by them, and had already known the identities of the two, so he enthusiastically invited them to the private room on the third floor to sit.

The osmanthus wine brewed by Qi Younian has already delivered the small rounds of osmanthus wine, which is so hot that it has just been out of the pot. The shopkeeper brought his friend to deliver osmanthus duck and some side dishes.

"It's rare that Lord Qi and Miss Ji San came to my small shop. Last time the store was not well received, this time it was considered a plea for the store. ()" The shopkeeper was very polite.

Qi Younian and Ji Xiaotang refused to let the shopkeeper's request.

"The three Lord Mu are also regular customers of the shop. If you can come, the shop will be even more prosperous... Lord Qi is young and promising. Last time he caught the bad guy for everyone, everyone said that Ren An has to be protected by Lord Qi and Lord Mu, and everyone has nothing to worry about."

Ji Xiaotang smiled. The shopkeeper was very good at speaking.

The shopkeeper chatted and joked for a few words, then took the people back.

Ji Xiaotang first ate the wine-stewed round pieces, then ate a few bites of the osmanthus duck, and then put down the chopsticks. Qi Younian also put down the chopsticks, and only Mu Wanjie ate it deliciously without raising his head.

Ji Xiaotang looked at Mu Wanjie with a smile, then took a veil and wiped his mouth. When he looked up, he was facing Qi Younian's eyes.

"What are you looking at?" Ji Xiaotang asked casually.

Qi Younian looked at her too focused. If it were someone else, Ji Xiaotang would definitely be unhappy, but at this moment she could only feel a faint joy in her heart.

Qi Younian smiled but did not answer, but took out a few things Ji Xiaotang had bought in front of the osmanthus stall and handed them to Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang was a little strange, but he subconsciously took it. When the thing was taken in his hand, Ji Xiaotang noticed something strange.

What's strange is the box containing fresh osmanthus flowers.

This box seems to be heavier than just now.

Ji Xiaotang looked up at Qi Younian and saw something from Qi Younian's smile.

"Xiaotang, open it and take a look." Ji Xiaotang suddenly noticed it. Qi Younian was surprised and happy, so he said tentatively. He originally thought that Ji Xiaotang would only appear when he was going home and checking things.

No matter what, Qi Younian was more willing to be the first to see Ji Xiaotang's surprise look.

"At this time, what trick did you change?" Ji Xiaotang raised his eyebrows, but he still opened the box.

The box is the original paper substrate, with golden osmanthus flowers on it, and the golden chain seems to connect small osmanthus flowers, almost blending with the box of fresh osmanthus flowers.

Gold is not uncommon, what is unusual is the way this chain looks like.

Ji Xiaotang picked up the chain of osmanthus and placed it in front of her and looked carefully. The more she looked, the more she couldn't help but admire the chain's craftsmanship.

"Ayou, where did you make this?" Ji Xiaotang asked. The osmanthus flowers were all visible, and it was extremely difficult to distinguish between the real osmanthus flowers. What's even more rare is that they were also tied into chains without leaving any flaws in conjunction.

Even Ji Xiaotang rarely sees such exquisite design and craftsmanship. If you really want to compare things with this, what Ji Xiaotang can think of is her butterfly-dotted golden silk hairpin.

Although that hairpin is gorgeous than this chain, it is slightly inferior to this chain in terms of exquisiteness. ()

"It's not made in real time, it's... I bought it by accident." Qi Younian said.

The real source of the Osmanthus Chain cannot be told to Ji Xiaotang for the time being. Qi Younian is worried that Ji Xiaotang will refuse to accept this gift. However, making up a source is not a solution. Therefore, Qi Younian can only say this.

"I bought it by accident?" Ji Xiaotang was obviously half-believing and half-doubting.

How could such exquisite things be bought by someone accidentally?

"...Xiaotang, you also know that I have traveled to many places over the years and met many people. I bought them by chance from people." Qi Younian said.

"Oh." Ji Xiaotang nodded without exploring it. Based on Qi Younian's experience, such words are reasonable.

"Hey, Uncle Ayou, are you giving something to Sister Xiaotang?" Mu Wanjie raised his head from the osmanthus duck and asked with his oily mouth open.

"Yes, I will give you Xiaotang's sister a tribute during the holidays. You also have one," Qi Younian said.

Mu Wanjie, a little follower, is sometimes very useful. For example, when he said this, Qi Younian naturally said the words to send Ji Xiaotang to Ji Xiaotang.

"Xiaotang, do you still like this chain?" Qi Younian asked Ji Xiaotang with a smile again.

"It's rare that you can get it from. I'm afraid that even the goldsmiths from Ren'an Mansion can't do it like this." Ji Xiaotang said, without any refusal in his words.

Qi Younian was secretly happy.

He specially chose this chain for Ji Xiaotang. In addition to the style of osmanthus flowers, he just wanted the chain to be exquisite and elegant. However, when it comes to value, it is not very expensive.

Giving such a gift is not abrupt, but Ji Xiaotang will not refuse even if he sees his intentions.

To a certain extent, Qi Younian can be said to be well versed in the art of giving gifts.

"It's not a rare good thing, and I won't give it to you." Qi Younian said, and asked Ji Xiaotang to put the chain on and take a look.

There are exquisite buckles at both ends of the chain, which can be worn on the wrist.

Ji Xiaotang wore it and looked around and was very satisfied.

"It looks much better than those gold bracelets and jade bracelets," Ji Xiaotang said with a smile, obviously liked this gift very much.

Ji Xiaotang's sleeves were slightly stacked upwards, revealing a piece of snow-white wrist. When Qi Younian looked at it, four words flashed through his mind: "With white wrists are as snow."

In Qi Younian's opinion, Ji Xiaotang's whole body, from head to toe, grew just right in every part, and it was the best in his eyes and his heart.

"Ayou, I have prepared a gift for you too." Ji Xiaotang took over the bracelet and said to Qi Younian.

"I wore the robe that Xiaotang gave me last time." Qi Younian didn't say polite words to Ji Xiaotang either.

This time, Ji Xiaotang came from Qingyuan. In addition to bringing many gifts to the Mu family, he did not ignore Qi Younian's part. Mrs. Ji second prepared a complete set of robes, shoes and feet for Qi Younian, including Ji Xiaotang's needlework.

Now that Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Ji Xiaotang has prepared small gifts for everyone in private. The others are needles and threads made by her, but only Qi Younian's one is different.

But when Qi Younian speaks like this now, he clearly needs needlework.

"What I prepared for Ayou is not needlework." Ji Xiaotang smiled slightly.

"What is that?" Qi Younian asked hurriedly.

"You will know tomorrow." Apart from that, Ji Xiaotang refused to reveal a single word.

Qi Younian became even more itchy.

When Mu Wanjie was satisfied with the food, Ji Xiaotang and Qi Younian got off the Guihua Building. The few people did not go directly to Guixiangzhai, but took a detour to the foreign goods shop and took a look.

Foreign goods shops not only sell foreign goods, but also sell goods from the south. Therefore, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the business in the shops was very prosperous.

Ji Xiaotang took Mu Wanjie to pick things in the shop. Qi Younian suddenly turned his head and looked out the door behind Ji Xiaotang.

There are traffic outside the door and there are many pedestrians, and there is a prosperous and peaceful atmosphere.

Qi Younian slowly turned back quietly, and the other personal soldiers around him immediately followed the shop's guests.

When Ji Xiaotang picked up the things and went out with Qi Younian to Guixiangzhai, Ji Xiaotang felt that there seemed to be fewer people around Qi Younian.

Ji Xiaotang did not ask.

When the three of them returned to Mu's mansion, it was already evening.

Qi Younian said goodbye to Shen.

"Come to your family tomorrow to celebrate the festival together." Shen asked Qi Younian.

Qi Younian responded happily.

The next day, it was Mid-Autumn Festival, and the whole house was filled with joy.

Mu Hong likes the most lively people, not to mention that the three people who celebrate the festival at his house today are all very tempted by him and are the ones he likes very much.
