"Servant, this servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die!" The Little Maid who was holding the bowl of soup suddenly turned pale and she kneeled on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.

"Stupid, clumsy servant girl, you can't even hold a soup bowl? If you're scalding your second sister, carefully watch your skin! " Before the crowd could react, Ye Jinwei had already let out a sharp shout. Her expression was indignant, and when she looked at Jin Lan, she revealed a little concern, "Is Second Sister alright?"

Madame SHen did not care about the oil and dirt, and anxiously pulled away the broth on Jin Lan's sleeves, seeing that it was not scalded at all, she heaved a sigh of relief, but still asked anxiously: "Is it scalded?"

Old Madame Ye sat a little further away and finally reacted, "Quick, get a doctor!"

Even Ye Lin raised his eyebrows.

"Grandmother, Lan Er is fine, there's no need to find a doctor." Jin Lan looked at Madame SHen, signalling to him that he was fine, then quickly spoke out to stop the old lady, even to Ye Lin, he revealed a smile at the right time.

Seeing Jin Lan smile, Ye Lin knew that she was not injured, and looked at the young maid who was kneeling on the ground trembling, and asked coldly: "What happened?"

In the past, there were always banquets or other places held in the residence, and they would always wait on the side for her. If not, Madame SHen would not have chosen her to serve him.

The courtyard was paved with bluestone bricks, and people who went in and out of the courtyard had never tripped before, who knew what would happen to them this time, they were clearly walking well, but they suddenly stumbled and tilted the stew in their hands, causing the soup to spill all over Second Miss's body. Now that Ye Lin had asked his a question, she did not know how to answer. He was so scared that she could not help but kowtow and say, "This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die …" Not long later, his forehead was red and swollen.

Ye Lin frowned, he glanced at the snow twigs on the ground in disgust, "If you can't even do such a small thing, what's the use of keeping you in the residence?" He waved for someone to drag the branch of snow down.

As the sound of the branches stopped, they immediately collapsed to the ground in despair.

"Father." Jin Lan stood up, and blessed Ye Lin, then said in a clear voice: "Lan Er is not injured, but her clothes were tainted, and it will be fine after changing. This maid did not do it on purpose. Moreover, it is rare for grandmother to be so happy today, so there is no need to be unhappy over such a small matter. Father, please bother her this once. "

Ye Lin's eyes flashed, but his expression relaxed. This daughter of hers had been raised under the old lady's tutelage, with a gentle and pure personality, and was indeed very good. Maybe the old lady's decision would really be feasible.

Thinking about it this way, the dark look on his face disappeared, and he said amiably: "Since Lan Er asked, then let's do it this way." As he spoke, he glanced at the branches on the ground, "Why aren't you going down!"

The branch hurriedly kowtowed to Jin Lan, before rolling back up and leaving with the empty stew cup.

Old Madame Ye's eyes revealed a trace of gratification when she saw Jin Lan. "Girl Lan, hurry back and change your clothes."

Ye Jinwei had originally planned to make Jin Lan feel embarrassed, but she didn't think that she would have such a high opinion of Ye Lin and the old lady. She was instantly furious, but she quickly followed, "Grandmother is right, Second Sister should quickly go and change into a new set of clothes, and then see if she wants to find a doctor."

Jin Lan looked at Ye Jinwei who was gritting her teeth to please her, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Thank you elder sister for your concern, I am fine." At the end of the snow twig was a cup of chicken nest. Although it was a bit warm, the autumn dress was thick and not hot. It was just sticky.

The Madame SHen patted Jin Lan's hands, and surprisingly agreed to Ye Jinwei's words, "Although the hands seem to be fine, I don't know what to do. When I change my clothes, let Wan Ju take a look, if it's not possible, I'll ask for a doctor right away."

Jin Lan didn't want to worry the Madame SHen, so he nodded his head and agreed, before hurriedly bringing Wan Ju and the others back to the to bathe and change.

Even if there was one more accident, the feast still ended perfectly.

After eating, Ye Lin left for the feast that would be held by his comrades. Ye Yu stayed for a while and ran off without a trace, he must have gone to play with the other juniors that he was close to. The Old Madame Ye did not hold him back, she only specially instructed the servant Attendant beside him to take care of the young master.

Jin Lan and the rest had nothing to do, so they accompanied Old Madame Ye to the stage and watched two show before returning to their rooms to rest.

Perhaps because she was tired, Old Madame Ye told Madame SHen not to put the dinner on Jiayu Hall, and not even a month's worth of rewards, so she had a good rest early.

The Madame SHen was happy, so she let the kitchen arrange the dinner for Ye Jinwei and the rest and sent them to the courtyard, while she went to the Lan Garden and enjoyed the view of the moon with her children.

After dinner, the shining jade plate gradually rose into the air, and the moonlight scattered down. Madame SHen led Jin Lan to set up a table in the Central Garden, and offered the moon, pomegranates, dates, and other fruits to the table to pay his respects to the Grand Moon Sovereign.

When Jin Lan saw Madame SHen's serious expression, he closed his eyes and put his hands together. As he muttered to himself, he also imitated his wish, and the servants behind him naturally followed suit.

After they finished bowing, the mother and daughter took their seats. Jin Lan looked at the servants serving behind him and smiled, "Why are you all standing? "Come over and sit."

Hui Xiu and the rest looked at each other, then laughed: "Miss, this is against the rules, it is enough for us servants to wait on you."

Jin Lan pouted and suddenly stood up to pull Hui Xiu's hand. He pulled her to the side of the small Wu Dan and forced her to sit down.

"Miss." Hui Xiu immediately struggled to get up, but the Madame SHen smiled and said: "It's rare for all of you to willingly stay in the manor today, so there's no need to be overly restrained, just sit down."

Hearing Madame SHen's words, Hui Xiu could only compromise. She thanked Madame SHen and Jin Lan before sitting down. Man Ping, Wan Ju, Bi He and the Mama Tang also followed suit and sat down, with seven or eight people huddled together, it was rather lively. The red hibiscus carved on the round table was decorated with a variety of fruits. Everyone was joking around with each other.

Waiting until the jade plate in the sky started to rise higher and higher, Madame SHen suddenly said to Jin Lan: "Lan Er, do you still remember the last time we were on the road of Meng Mansion, when I promised you?"

Jin Lan was rubbing a sweet grapefruit in his mouth, and upon hearing Madame SHen's question, his eyes lit up. He immediately swallowed the sweet juice in his mouth, and asked: "Mother said you would appreciate the lanterns?"

Seeing her daughter's happy look, Madame SHen's heart could not help but jump, "The time is right now. If you want to go, change into a set of clothes that are thicker. It's cold at night."

"Thank you, mother!" How could Jin Lan not go? With that, he pulled Mama Tang back into the house to change his clothes.

Not long later, a tall carriage slowly drove out of the Ye Mansion.

Yangzhou's lanterns would be even more lively than Jin Lan thought. The streets would be filled with the shadows of people moving about, their toes touching their legs, shoulders and arms like the tide, filling up the entire street. The two sides of the street were decorated with lanterns and lanterns, with different shapes. Half of the Yangzhou City was reflected upon them, making them seem as bright as day.

The boats on the West Lake sparkled as the music of the singers' guzheng and their melodious melodies echoed across the lake. The melody was very suitable for the scenery: the moon in the sky, the tall buildings as well as the eaves of the verandas. With a frown on her face and her slender jade arms, she looked towards the west through the fence …

Before the carriage had even reached the bustling area, they could already hear the bustling sounds of bullets. Jin Lan couldn't help but lift up the curtain a crack to look outside: the streets were lined with lanterns like fire, the people were boiling over with songs of Xu Shengge, the distant clamor came in waves, everywhere was a picture of the middle of autumn's night in high tide.

"Lan Er." Madame SHen called out with a laugh, and pulled her into her embrace, "In front of us is the City God Temple, there are many lanterns there, and there are also many riddles with lanterns. You will definitely like it, but you have to follow me closely later, don't lose yourself."

Jin Lan nodded her head obediently, "Mother, don't worry. Lan Er understands the importance of this."

The Madame SHen rubbed Jin Lan's head, then ordered Man Ping, who had followed them out, and Wan Ju and the others to protect the lady well.

Before he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly shook, and Jin Lan quickly stabilized himself. Madame SHen frowned, and Hui Xiu immediately shouted: "Li San, what's wrong?"

Li San looked at the dense crowd, then turned and reported: "Reporting to the madam and young lady, there are too many people walking on the street, the carriage is not easy to take."

Man Ping lifted the curtain to take a look, and sure enough, it was filled with people.

Madame SHen thought for a moment, then said to Jin Lan: "It's not far, how about we go over?"

Jin Lan had wanted to take a look since a long time ago, but when he heard Madame SHen's question, he didn't think he should. Wan Ju immediately helped her put on the Drapery Cap s, and Hui Xiu and Bi He also tied the cloaks they brought out specially for the two of them. Although the inside of the carriage was warm, it was not certain if it was still outside. Madame SHen and Jin Lan's body were weak, so they had to be extra careful.

Madame SHen and Jin Lan got off the carriage, and when Li San stopped the carriage by the side of the road, the seven of them followed the flow of people and walked towards the City God Temple. Hui Xiu and the rest of the maids were surrounding the mother and daughter duo in the middle to protect them, while Li San followed behind them at a distance.

After walking forward a bit, there were more and more people. Originally, the people surrounding Madame SHen and Jin Lan had scattered due to the large number of people, the Madame SHen protected Jin Lan tightly in their arms, afraid that she would be pushed away by the crowd. Hui Xiu and the rest also tried their best to move closer to them, but there were simply too many people, and they could only maintain a distance of half an arm's length.

"Lan Er, come and rest." Madame SHen brought Jin Lan to a flower lantern stand at the side. Although there were a lot of people gathered there, it was much better than the street.

Hui Xiu and the other maidservants also rushed over, all of them sending out crooked hairpins. Jin Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing, but just as he was about to open his mouth to tease, his gaze was attracted by a hexagonal glass palace lamp that was hung on the left side.

Within the clear and translucent glass, there was a bit of candlelight. Each piece of glass was even painted with 12 flowers that slowly bloomed from the bud, looking vivid and lifelike. There were already many tourists gathered under the lanterns. They had clearly been attracted by the lanterns too.

"Does Lan Er like that flower lamp? Why don't we go and take a guess? " Madame SHen followed Jin Lan's gaze and knew which lamp she was looking for.

Jin Lan nodded, but just as he was about to follow Madame SHen, he heard a loud bang. A resplendent silver flower suddenly exploded in the sky, immediately creating a clamor, causing all the tourists' line of sight to be attracted by the blossoming ceremonial flower, and they all stopped, raising their heads to look up at the night sky.

Under the night sky, the dazzling silver flowers bloomed like a chrysanthemum, yet like a peony in full bloom. They were rich and beautiful, fleeting in the blink of an eye like a fleeting flower. One after the other, the flowers and trees fell like rain in the east wind. The fragrance of the carved BMW carts filled the entire road, the sound of the phoenix and the flute moved, the light in the jade pot revolved, and overnight, the fish and dragon danced about.

Everyone was immersed in the dazzling multi-colored light, when suddenly, a mournful shout rang in their ears: "We went into the water!"

The crowd seemed to have awoken from a dream and instantly scattered in all directions like exploding ants. Jin Lan immediately stretched out his hand to try to stop Madame SHen, but a huge force suddenly came from behind him, knocking her ruthlessly towards the fleeing crowd …
