The Chinese New Year is coming soon, festive red lanterns are hung on the trees in the village, and window grilles are posted on the windows in advance.

The New Year in Kyoto is different from that in the North, and the customs are different. Every household starts to make water lanterns, put out candles and make wishes. On the night of New Year's Eve, they go out to find a water source and put out water lanterns to pray for blessings.

In the understanding of Kyoto people, water represents money. Putting water lanterns to gather wealth can also pray for blessings and protect the health of your family.

In the streets and alleys of Kyoto, from the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are lantern festivals and temple fairs of various sizes, which are more lively than the border towns in the north.

"Ruyi, do you and your cousin plan to stay in Kyoto when you come here this time?"

Li Haitang bit into a piece of brown sugar sandwich biscuit. It tasted good, not too sweet, just what she expected.

Kyoto is a vanity fair. If you are indifferent to fame and wealth, stay away from here as soon as possible.

However, Li Haitang could understand that as Ruan Pingzhi was the eldest grandson of the Ruan family and would also be the patriarch of the Ruan family in the future, he could not give up on his people. There were no tigers in the mountains and let a little Maotou who was born outside the family become the king.

Some things are beyond your control.

"He came back this time mainly to accompany me."

Zhang Ruyi gritted her teeth. She had to get back the jade Ruyi her mother left behind. That was very important to her.

Returning to Beijing was a temporary decision. She came in a hurry and she had to figure out one thing.

Li Haitang saw that Zhang Ruyi's expression was not good. After thinking about it, he still couldn't hold it back. "Did Lu Yuanqing find out that you were getting married, so she went to make trouble?"

"no."

Zhang Ruyi smiled bitterly. If she really went to make trouble, it would at least prove that Lu Erluzi had some feelings for her. Unfortunately, after he learned about it, he acted very indifferently. He got together with his mentor's daughter and was going to get married soon.

Back then, his family was poor and he always missed his mentor's daughter, but he couldn't express it and watched her get married.

The good times did not last long. Not long after, the mentor's daughter died. She returned to her parents' home and became a widow.

"You know, Lu Yuanqing broke up with me and was indifferent to me, that's because he wanted to divorce me a long time ago!"

Zhang Ruyi said bitterly, Lu Yuanqing just had an attack because Lu's mother was killed by bandits, it was that simple.

No matter how much he did, he could not change his initial impression of the arrogant and domineering young lady.

"You may not know that many times between the sheets, what he calls is not Ruyi, but Jiaojiao."

Jiaojiao was the name of Lu Yuanqing's sweetheart. Only at this time did he behave unusually.

The funny thing is that Lu Yuanqing has been hiding for so long without being discovered at all.

He deceived Zhang Ruyi. Jiaojiao was the nickname he gave her. When he was deeply in love, he naturally called her out and treated her like a treasure.

As a pillow person, there is no one closer to her, so Zhang Ruyi believed his words easily.

Li Haitang was shocked. Not only Zhang Ruyi, but as a bystander, she also didn't notice anything unusual!

Scumbag, scumbag to the core!

The relationship was severed and the child was gone. Actually, thinking about it now, it might not be a bad thing. Maybe other women would accept their fate, play it safe and live a stable life. However, Li Haitang knew that Zhang Ruyi was not such a person.

If Lu Yuanqing refused to find a concubine, she would marry him without any regrets until her head was broken and her blood flowed.

"So, you came to Kyoto because you didn't want to meet that scumbag?"

Li Haitang was confused and felt that it didn't fit Zhang Ruyi's character.

Zhang Ruyi shook her head and swallowed the words in her mouth. The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and she didn't want to make people unhappy because of her bad things.

The two sisters were together, and the afternoon passed very briefly. Before they could talk enough, it was time for dinner.

Everyone gathered around the table lively, chatting while eating. Zhang Ruyi and Ruan Pingzhi were natives of Kyoto and were quite familiar with the streets. What they said was something that Li Haitang had never heard of before. It was very novel.

Entering the twelfth lunar month, the days go by in the blink of an eye. The family is busy and everyone is working together to prepare for the New Year.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Fang Shaoyao came to visit with her two children to give Li Haitang a New Year gift.

After Zhang Ruyi learned about it, she hid in the yard and did not come out. She did not want to see anyone in order to avoid being recognized and the Zhang family knowing.

Fang Shaoyao came from her mother's family. Her mother looked at the sugar packets and felt awkward. She deeply felt that this granddaughter was born in the wrong child and was so naughty that she would not be able to get married in the future.

If a boy is naughty, he can be praised with praises such as smart and flexible, but this cannot be done with a girl.

Fang Shaoyao's mother repeatedly emphasized that the marriage must be arranged before Tangbao turns five years old. In this way, the baby will be married and the marriage certificate and tokens will be exchanged, and the other party will not be able to easily regret it.

Once she reaches the age of ten and is famous, she will definitely not be able to get married.

Who should I cheat? Of course it’s a cheating sister! You don't have to think about this. Only good sisters can play the emotional card and get close to each other, thus making the other party's head heat up and it will be too late to regret it.

In order to make up for it, the family spent most of their wealth on sugar-packed dowries, and they must not let the husband's family suffer.

Fang Shaoyao was brainwashed by her own mother and took it seriously, targeting Xiaodou Bao.

Doubao and Tangbao are childhood sweethearts, they almost grew up together, they are so close, who else would they cheat if not him?

Fang Shaoyao made some psychological preparation for herself, and specially brought a new year's gift that was much heavier than what she originally prepared.

Li Haitang didn't know the customs of Kyoto, and it was her first time to celebrate the New Year. She had no idea about New Year's rituals. When she saw that Fang Shaoyao brought many things, she didn't think about it at all, thinking that Fang Shaoyao was a real person, so that's why.

"Shaoyao, my relatives came from the north and brought a lot of local products. I will leave some for you."

After Li Haitang said these words, his heart ached! She didn't think about giving those things to others, so she planned to eat them alone and slowly get into her stomach.

However, the other person was warm, polite and thoughtful, and she could not lose her courtesy.

"Hey Haitang, do we sisters need to be polite?"

Fang Shaoyao was overjoyed and thought about how to mention the marriage.

"Haitang, what do you think of the sugar packets?"

Fang Shaoyao smiled and shook his head when he saw his little girl playing well with Doubao. It's strange to say, could it be that one thing descends from another? When sugar packets and bean packets are placed together, there are a lot less moths, and they are generally dominated by the bean packets.

At this moment, the two little ones were sitting on the thick blanket, playing with the golden abacus, making a crackling sound.

"The sugar bag is white and clean. Have you grown taller?"

Li Haitang asked Bai Shuang to bring snacks to Fang Shaoyao.

"Yes, they say that women have changed over the years, and our sugar bag has become a lot more sensible recently."

Fang Shaoyao lied against her conscience. Just yesterday, Tangbao made a hole in her husband's underwear. If she hadn't discovered it in time, it would have been a joke. Li Guanglu was angry for the first time, so he directly added the candy packets and slapped them on his butt.
