The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 365: The Confession of Kongming Lantern
It’s a Kongming lantern!
Pomegranate opened his eyes wide, watching the Kongming lantern rising slowly into the sky. It seemed to be floating near him, and the words written on it were very clear.

Soon, another Kongming lantern rose up.

One lamp after another.

The strange thing is that each Kongming lantern seems to be pulled by a string like a kite. Once it rises to a fixed height above Qinghe River, it will not continue to rise and float away from the sky.

There are words on each Kongming lantern.

Li Rongzhang beside him sighed, "Brother, you really have something! But what exactly is written on it? Why can't I understand a single word? Second sister, can you understand it?"

Of course Shi Liu could understand it because it was all written in pinyin.

Fan Jin is confessing his love to her.

Because she said she liked watching Kongming lanterns during the Lantern Festival, so she was given a feast of Kongming lanterns?
Only he could think of expressing his love using a Kongming lantern.

Li Rongzhang's mumblings were heard in her ears, and Shi Liu was lost in thought as she stared at the words on the Kongming lantern.

Suddenly, he laughed out loud and murmured, "What?"

It really gives me the feeling of an artistic young man.

It sounds quite romantic on paper.

Li Rongzhang was completely confused, but when he saw his second sister actually smiled, did she understand?
I always have a feeling that my second sister and senior brother have some secret that no one else knows.

That’s all.

Li Rongzhang no longer worried about what was written on the lamp. As long as his second sister could understand it, then his senior brother’s efforts would not be in vain.

He looked across and saw his senior brother standing on the river bank looking at this side. All the lights had been turned off.

"Second sister, Senior Brother is looking at you, can you wave?"

Shi Liu took a deep look at the figure opposite him, turned around, and yawned, "It's late at night, I'm sleepy, let's go back to sleep."

Li Rongzhang saw her running away, looked across, and hurriedly followed her, "Second sister, what do you think? If Senior Brother Ming'er asks me what your reaction was when you saw the lights, what should I say?"

"Just tell me what you see."

-

Across from him, Fan Jin saw the figure going away from afar, and looked up at the floating lamp. "Do you think she saw the words on it?"

Bafang raised his head and said, "Such large words, you can definitely see them clearly. Are they real words? Sir, are you sure Miss Pomegranate can see them clearly?"

"If you can see it clearly, you will definitely understand it." Under this sky, no one else can understand it except her.

But, she just left like that?
Fan Jin looked at the things written on the Kongming lantern again. Everything he wanted to say but was too embarrassed to say in person was written very well.

God's jewels fell to the ground, so I see the sky full of stars and your eyes.

I will still believe that the stars can talk, the stones can bloom, and after passing through the summer fences and the winter snow, you will finally arrive.

Among the three thousand worlds, I love three things: the sun, the moon, and you. The sun is for me in the morning, the moon is for me in the evening, and you are with me every morning and every evening.

As long as it's you in the end, it doesn't matter if it's late.

"Take it."

"Oh."

Bafang responded and swiftly pulled the string in his hand downwards, and all the Kongming lanterns floating in the air fell down.

Silence returned to Qinghe River. The villagers who went to bed early did not notice that there was a Kongming Lantern Festival tonight. Even if they saw it, they would have thought someone was praying for the imperial examination.

After all, there is the provincial examination in April and the academy examination in August.

-

On the second day, Xiahe Village was filled with joy.

Chieftain Li took the opportunity to hold a grand banquet. Of course, he only invited some relatives from the village and Chieftain Li's family. Although it was called a grand banquet, it was not to the extent that everyone in the surrounding villages would know about it.

All the ladies in the clan came to help prepare the banquet. Shi Liu went to the clan leader's house with Old Man Li and the others, and were invited in by Clan Leader Li and his people.

There was talking and laughing in the main room. Today's host, Li Rongsheng, was teased by a group of old men and women, and his face turned red.

He is thirteen years old this year, so there is no rush for him to get married. But the old ladies don’t care about the rush when they see a good-looking boy. They want to talk to anyone who is suitable.

After Shi Liu came in, everyone let Li Rongsheng go and turned their attention to Shi Liu.

Shi Liu was also a popular candidate for marriage proposal, but everyone was just joking and no one dared to really come up to her and say they wanted to be her matchmaker. After all, they were relatives, nephews, or grandchildren, and they could not believe that they were worthy of Shi Liu.

Shi Liu was not as thin-skinned as Li Rongsheng, who would blush when being criticized. She talked and laughed openly with the elders. She would always respond to whatever was said and never let the words fall to the ground, which made the elders very happy.

After some conversation, Shi Liu slipped out of the main room and met Li Rongsheng.

"Rongsheng, you are amazing."

Li Rongsheng scratched his head in embarrassment, "Cousin Shi Liu, please stop teasing me. My grandfather is just too happy. I am really embarrassed to have such a nice drink today. After all, I haven't really passed the imperial examination yet."

Shi Liu smiled and said, "You have been on the list in every county exam, and your ranking is so high. Naturally, you will have no problem in the prefectural exam. I understand that the clan leader is happy."

After all, this is the first generation of the Li family who has moved and settled in Xiahe Village. Not to mention that he will definitely pass the provincial examination without any surprises, even if he is really eliminated in the provincial examination, being among the top few in the county examination is already an honor enough.

Li Rongsheng secretly clenched his fists and said, "I will try my best in the provincial examination."

-

After drinking the wine at the clan leader's house, Shi Liu did not stay at home for long. The next day, he said goodbye to his family and set off for the provincial capital.

The workshops at home are watched over by Li Jihe and Jiang Bing, the food workshops are all staffed by people from the clansmen and villagers, with whom we have life-long friendships. The sheep workshop is also staffed by mostly people from the clansmen and villagers and relatives. There are no messy people, so you can rest assured.

Everyone goes to work on time, gets stable wages, becomes rich in one year, and achieves a well-off life in three years. No one will be negligent.

Shi Liu came back and left in a hurry, which made her family worried about her a lot.

Besides her family, there are other people who care about her.

"Going out again?" Fan Jin was stunned when he heard Li Rongzhang's words.

"Yes, my second sister said that she will probably be away for several months before coming back! Alas, I won't be able to see my second sister for a long time." Li Rongzhang was also very sad.

Fan Jin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "She really didn't say anything when we watched the Kongming lanterns that night? Didn't she have anything to tell you?"

Li Rongzhang spread his hands, "Brother, you asked me yesterday, there really is nothing, if there was something and asked me to take it, could I have eaten it by myself? That night, after looking at the lights, my second sister said she was sleepy and wanted to go back to sleep, and I saw that she didn't react at all.

No, what on earth did you write there? I didn’t understand a single word. I guess my second sister didn’t understand anything either. After all, I was the one who taught her how to read! "

Fan Jin: I still need your teaching on how to read.

However, Fan Jin fell into self-doubt. The pinyin was different. Could it be that she really didn't understand what he wrote?
It seems that confession has to be said in person.

Fan Jin took a deep breath and waited for next time.
