The autumn breeze is blowing, and Double Ninth Festival is here in a blink of an eye.

Although Li Jiuzhou is not used to celebrating this Senior Citizen's Day, he still has to respect the ancient customs. This is also a courtesy. Since everyone has celebrated it, there is no reason for him to be left behind.

As for how to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival, it is not something he has to worry about. Of course, someone will prepare it.

Zhang Xiaoluo took the paper kite he bought earlier and dragged him out of the house early in the morning. The little book boy had been waiting for a long time to put the kite in his hand.

Wang Yuying, on the other hand, had no interest in going out for fun. She bought some chrysanthemum wine, fruits and pastries, and was busy preparing the evening meal.

After outing, admiring flowers, and flying kites, Li Jiuzhou played with Zhang Xiaoluo for a while, and then came back impatiently.

Zhang Xiaoluo, on the other hand, looked like he still had something to say. When he came back, they both had a sprig of dogwood stuck in their heads.

There were only three people in such a large mansion, which was too deserted, so Li Jiuzhou went and invited Wan Nanshan to come to the mansion for a banquet. Wan Nanshan then asked his family to come to the banquet.

He also remembered that Li Chongniang was lonely and helpless, and thought that the emperor would not think of her, so he invited her to celebrate the festival together. Li Chongniang was alone and depressed, so she was very happy.

This made Wang Yuying miserable, and she was busy all the time.

The Double Ninth Festival was a major festival in ancient times. The prince, Yang Guozhong, and Xianyu Zhongtong also had people send them regular gifts, and Yang Biao also prepared one separately.

Li Jiuzhou didn't bother to look at all the ritual gifts and asked Wang Yuying to accept them all. However, Mrs. Guo Guo also ordered someone to send the ritual gifts, which surprised him somewhat and he couldn't help but take a second look.

This made Wan Nanshan somewhat embarrassed when he came empty-handed.

When everything was ready, Li Jiuzhou took the lead in raising his chopsticks, and pointed at the dishes on the table like a master: "Eat quickly, eat quickly, everyone is enjoying the Double Ninth Festival."

Although he doesn’t know what the joy of the Double Ninth Festival is.

"It's a festival, it's a festival." Zhang Xiaoluo took the lead in making a noise, not forgetting to stuff his mouth full.

For him, the kite has been let go, and these delicious delicacies that are not usually available are the focus of this festival.

The naughty Li Chongniang became calm.

"If someone plays the piano and recites poetry, wouldn't it be more suitable for the occasion." Li Jiuzhou smiled and picked up the wine glass, signaling to Wan Nanshan.

"Look at what I'm doing. It's okay to ask me to fight and kill. I don't know how to play the piano and recite poetry." Wan Nanshan blew his beard and stared, but he forgot that his beard hadn't grown very long yet, so he touched his chin.

"I think you look a bit like that Li Kui." Li Jiuzhou teased him.

Wan Nanshan was puzzled and asked: "Who is Li Kui?"

"Li Kui is a heroic man who can kill tigers. Maybe he was reincarnated by you." Li Jiuzhou said casually.

Wan Nanshan's face tightened at first, but when he understood that he was praising himself, he laughed.

"I promised you before that we would have a good drink." Li Jiuzhou took the opportunity to fulfill his promise.

Wan Nanshan laughed loudly and said: "That's right, I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight."

While everyone was chatting and laughing, it was already getting late, and as far as the eye could see from the room, fireworks had been set off outside the house, blooming high in the night. The capital was still noisy and glitzy, and it was a lively time.

Seeing that Li Chongniang was a little reserved, Li Jiuzhou kept picking up food for her, and asked Zhang Xiaoluo to sit next to her and chat with her to relieve her boredom, while he and Wan Nanshan drank happily.

However, Li Chongniang didn't like chatting with Zhang Xiaoluo very much. No matter how much Zhang Xiaoluo tried to please her, she just simply said um, oh.

"Don't just drink and eat some Double Ninth Festival cakes." Wang Yuying said with a smile, "I made them all by myself, try how they taste."

When they heard that it was made by her own hands, several people were not polite and began to taste it slowly, praising: "Good craftsmanship and really delicious."

Wan Nanshan praised Wang Yuying while eating: "Young lady is really good at the hall and the kitchen. Mr. Li is really envious to have such a beautiful woman accompanying him."

Wang Yuying was a little embarrassed by his praise, she blushed and lowered her head.

"Humph, it's not delicious at all." Amidst the praise, Li Chongniang suddenly pouted and said coldly.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, and everyone froze, not knowing how to ease the atmosphere.

Li Jiuzhou then touched her head: "You don't like eating?"

"You didn't do it yourself." Li Chongniang looked up at him.

Li Jiuzhou and Wang Yuying looked at each other, burst out laughing, and said while laughing: "It's really a child's talk."

"I'm not a child anymore." Li Chongniang defended anxiously.

Not long after this, Li Chongniang seemed to be a little more mature than when we first met.

Looking at this little girl who was too young to be his sister, Li Jiuzhou smiled and said perfunctorily: "Okay, okay, I'll make it for you next time, but I still have to learn how to make this Double Ninth Cake."

"Then you go and learn as soon as possible." Li Chongniang then showed a satisfied smile, rolled her eyes at him, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Wang Yuying, on the other hand, had a flash of sadness on her face.

It was late at night, and Li Jiuzhou and Wan Nanshan were both a little drunk, and they were arguing over who had the best drinking capacity.

"It's almost time." Wang Yuying brought the teacup and advised, "You two should drink less and enjoy yourself. Drink this sobering tea first."

Li Jiuzhou glanced at them and saw that everyone was a little sleepy. Zhang Xiaoluo was lying on the table with his eyes half closed and almost fell asleep.

"Okay, after drinking this sobering tea, go and have a rest. My mansion is different from the past. There are many rooms in the mansion and it's getting late. You can stay in the mansion for one night." Li Jiuzhou put down his wine glass.

.

Zhang Xiaoluo was very tired after playing for a day, so he took the lead and went back to his room to wash up and rest.

Wang Yuying tidied up a room for Li Chongniang, waited until everyone had rested, cleaned up, and then returned to the house.

No one noticed that there was silence outside.

When I got up early in the morning, the excitement of the Double Ninth Festival had not yet passed, and several people started chatting again. Wan Nanshan kept saying that he didn't enjoy the wine last night and would come to drink another day.

Suddenly I saw a person outside the door walking in quickly, shouting: "It's not good."

Li Jiuzhou recognized him as a minor official in Jingzhao Mansion. Seeing his panic, he asked, "What happened?"

The clerk bowed first, and before he could take a breath, he said urgently: "Li Shaoyin, last night a strange murder occurred in the residence of Yang Qixuan, the admonishing doctor. Mr. Xianyu asked you to go back and investigate."

When he said this, Li Jiuzhou remembered that he was still the young master of Jingzhao Mansion and that he had been left alone for a long time.

Since I came back from Nanzhao and resumed my official position, I haven't been to Jingzhao Mansion much.

Immediately, he hurriedly packed up, asked Wang Yuying to arrange to send Li Chongniang back to his house, and hurried to Jingzhao Mansion with Wan Nanshan.
