Chapter 12
Thinking of the Chinese Valentine's Day lantern festival in the evening, Zhang Jinyue realized that this was a great opportunity to promote milk tea, and immediately went to shopkeeper Sun to discuss setting up a stall to sell milk tea at the lantern festival.

In fact, she would be more willing to do it by herself if there were others, but the time was too tight, and she was like a top, going back and forth between the task and the milk tea business.

The Chinese Valentine's Day Lantern Festival is held every year in Songlinyuan, starting from the Youzheng period and ending at the Haizheng period.The city gates are usually closed at midnight. In order to avoid the fate of sleeping on the streets, foreign tourists usually book rooms in advance.

Zhang Jinyue arrived early and booked two rooms at Laifu Inn, which is closest to Songlinyuan.Nothing happened, so she went to the teahouse, chose a corner, ordered a pot of tea and squatted.

"Hey, have you heard? I heard that the new county magistrate will also come to this Chinese Valentine's Day Lantern Festival?"

"It's true. Many county magistrates would participate in such activities before."

"After all, this is the first large-scale event after taking office, so there is nothing wrong with wanting to do it well."

"That's true."

"Do you know why the Chinese Valentine's Day Lantern Festival is held in Pine Forest Garden?"

"Isn't it held every time at Pine Forest Garden?"

"That's right, there is a hundred-year-old acacia tree in Pine Forest Garden. You know, there is a story in it..."

There is an acacia tree that is more than 100 years old in the Pine Forest Garden. From a distance, it looks like a big mushroom squeezed out from among a bunch of houses. As you walk in, you can see green leaves like a canopy, blocking the sky above your head.

According to legend, the acacia tree has spiritual powers. It was under this acacia tree that the founding emperor of the Wei Dynasty, Wei Tingyuan, fell in love at first sight with his later queen, Su Xiaoyi.As the emperor, Wei Tingyuan could have three palaces and six courtyards, but he was devoted to the queen and only had the queen in his harem.

As a testimony of the love of the First Emperor of the Wei Dynasty, this tree was also called a love tree. After that, the annual Chinese Valentine's Day Lantern Festival was held in Songlin Garden to seek a love that will last until death.

There is nothing better than killing time in a teahouse listening to gossip. Zhang Jinyue calculated the time to leave and went into Songlin Garden to find someone.

The entrance to Songlin Garden is a long street, extending forward is a large lake surrounded by trees. There are nine winding corridors on the lake, each leading to different directions. Going back, you can see the eaves of the blue brick house and beyond. That huge acacia tree.

It's still early and there aren't many people there. There are only tourists walking in twos and threes, but there are already many stalls taking up space on both sides of the long street and starting to shout.

Zhang Jinyue walked straight across the long street, walked across the Jiuqu Linglong Bridge, and arrived in front of the small houses in the last row of Songlin Garden.She followed her memory to the ninth house and knocked on the door.

The door opened, revealing a dark face, so honest that it seemed a bit honest.

"The kidnapping girl who is about the same age as me and who is with me...don't hurt her...if someone rescues her, we'll retreat." Zhang Jinyue's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible after being blown away by the wind.

The honest-looking man nodded, "Boss, don't worry when I do the work!"

After Zhang Jinyue gave the instructions, he walked back to the main entrance through the small door at the back. Gu Yuncheng and Zhang Jinxiu were already there.

Zhang Jinxiu is wearing a gradient wide-sleeved fairy dress today. The upper body is white, with pink peach blossoms embroidered on the sleeves. The lower body is a pink skirt that gradually deepens. Her hair is styled into a flying fairy bun with dots of beads. , looks quite a bit like a peach blossom fairy.

The two seemed to be talking very intimately. Zhang Jinxiu was mainly talking and Gu Yuncheng was listening.

Zhang Jinyue quickly walked over and said, "What else can you talk about that makes you so happy?"

When Zhang Jinxiu saw it was her, she smiled awkwardly and fell silent. Gu Yuncheng still had an expressionless face.Tsk!If you don't want to be together openly, you like to have secret love affairs, right?

As everyone looked forward to it, the sun gradually set in the west, leaving only a gorgeous sunset glowing red on the horizon.The red lanterns hanging everywhere in the Pine Forest Garden also lit up one after another, making the place brightly lit.

The Chinese Valentine's Day Lantern Festival that everyone has been waiting for has finally officially begun!

The number of tourists began to increase. There were students in small groups, talking loudly, hoping to win the favor of beautiful women at the Lantern Festival; Visiting the park alone to feel the festive atmosphere.

Zhang Jinyue even saw a couple traveling with their family, a couple in their forties, a teenager of sixteen or seventeen years old, and a little girl of seventy or eight years old, and the teenager seemed a little familiar.

The three of them stepped into Songlin Garden. Zhang Jinyue was attracted by the food stalls on the street. Zhang Jinxiu stood next to Gu Yuncheng and smiled brightly. In the eyes of outsiders, the talented man and the beautiful woman looked very right.

As soon as she appeared, she was followed by appraising eyes, and the students' voices became much louder, hoping that they would be favored by the beauty.When he saw Gu Yuncheng next to him, he heard a voice of lamentation.

"Oh, beauties always have owners. Drink, drink! Everyone will not come home until they are drunk today!"

Some people refused to give up, "Maybe he and the ugly girl next to him are a couple."

Everyone burst into laughter. How could anyone let such a good-looking beauty go without a stinky girl?
The voice reached Gu Yuncheng's ears, and his expression was a little complicated. Zhang Dalai tried to force Zhang Jinyue. His grandmother wanted to disclose his engagement to Zhang Jinxiu, but she refused, and Zhang Lizheng regretted it!
The three of them walked forward together, but each had their own thoughts.

Zhang Jinyue was thinking about what excuse he was going to find to break up everyone. Zhang Jinxiu spoke, "Jinyue, I heard that a new drink has been released in the town recently. It's called milk tea. It's delicious. How about we try it too?" taste?"

"Huh? Good."

Zhang Jinyue had drank too much milk tea in the past few days, and she didn't really want to drink it for the time being. However, she had just been distracted and thinking about other things. She didn't come back to her senses for a moment and had almost agreed by the time she reacted.

The three of them walked to the milk tea stall and happened to bump into the family just now. Zhang Jinyue remembered that this young man was not the first Mr. Huang who patronized her business.

Zhang Jinyue was surprised at first and then understood, and greeted the other party in a natural manner.

When Huang Guan saw it was her, he introduced the two parties, "Dad, mother, this is Miss Yue'er, these are my father, mother and little sister."

Turning to Zhang Jinyue, he said, "Is this your stall?"

"No." Zhang Jinyue smiled and shook his head, "Master Huang, I just came to visit the lantern festival today."

Because of the milk tea Huang Guan brought back a few days ago, the Huang family obviously knew about her. Mrs. Huang smiled kindly and said, "This is Miss Jinyue, boy Guan has always praised you in front of me. You look like a talented person at first glance." Lucky girl.”

"No, Mrs. Huang is so complimentary." Zhang Jinyue said modestly.

The atmosphere among the few was harmonious, but Zhang Jinxiu was unwilling to accept it. She had already suggested coming over to buy milk tea after seeing Huang Guan's figure.Huang Guan should be the helper in her plan. Why does he look so familiar with Zhang Jinyue now?Moreover, County Magistrate Huang and his family seemed to have a good impression of Zhang Jinyue.

How can this be done?Zhang Jinyue should be the green leaf that sets off her!
