Everywhere there were lanterns, everywhere there were the lively sounds of people, and clay figurine makers could be seen everywhere. Situ Jiuyue even ended up with a sugar-coated haw on a stick in her hand. There were street performers, sugar-blowers; the hustle and bustle of Tongxiang was utterly different from the capital, but it had a kind of prosperity beyond the worldliness, like the fabled Arcadia described in books.
This was Situ Jiuyue's first visit to Tongxiang, and her face was filled with surprise. Xue Zhao explained these things to her, and before they knew it, the two of them had fallen behind the others. Seeing this, Jiang Li did not hurry them, thinking it was also good for them to have some time alone. It was rare for Situ Jiuyue to have such a relaxed moment. When Jiang Li glanced over, she could still see the smile on Situ Jiuyue's face.
She was genuinely happy.
