Chapter 1217: Chapter 384 Zhenzhen Gets Spanked, Cui Qingrou Disciplines Her Child

One thousand and four hundred mooncakes were baked throughout the entire afternoon. Six people and six beasts ate more than fifty pieces, and after distributing three hundred pieces to Zhao Mu and others according to their tastes, the remaining nearly four hundred pieces were sent to some of the closest families in the village, including the Wu family, Aunt Tong’s house, Master Zeng’s house, Master San’s house, and over ten other households.

The last two hundred or so pieces, saving a few for tomorrow, were placed in twenty exquisite gift boxes to be given to the guests who would visit the Scholar Mansion for the festival the next day.

Shengsheng carefully packed the most perfect mooncake she made in a small square box, preparing to personally deliver it to her future stepmother.

Although the work was not heavy, having kept busy all day without pause, everyone was quite exhausted. After dinner, they each carried hot water back to their rooms to rest.

After Mo Yan finished bathing and, according to their previous arrangement, spent time working with Xuetuan in the Space and finished telling a story, she took the cleaned Six Beasts out of the Space, applied a layer of ointment to Little Flower’s scalded foot, then crawled into her thin blanket. In the huffing and puffing sounds of Mao Tuan, she fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, Mo Yan, Xin Er, and Shengsheng got up early again, loaded the twenty boxes of mooncakes onto the horse carriage, and, after eating the breakfast prepared by Lixiu, the three sisters set off towards the city.

The Six Beasts took advantage of the darkness before dawn to leave for Jing City with their respective Beast Badges, to avoid being seen on the streets and potentially causing unnecessary panic. The city guards, seeing the Beast Badges, would only keep an eye on where the beasts went to prevent them from injuring anyone; they dared not stop them from entering the city, let alone drive them away.

Lixiu, Liyan, and Tang Xin, aware of their own status, firmly refused to join the festivities at the Scholar Mansion. Concerned that they would feel uncomfortable, Mo Yan tried to convince them for a while but did not insist.

By now, the shops on both sides of the streets had hung up red lanterns, waiting for nightfall to light the oil inside. Since the main events were to take place at night, the shops were mostly open and busier than usual. Besides the residents of the city, many who loved the bustling atmosphere came from outside the city, planning to roam the streets and then join the lantern festival in the evening.

Among the flow of people coming and going, there were many young men and women. There were married couples, walking shoulder to shoulder with women’s hair styled, as well as girls and boys in the throes of first love. They dared not walk too close—one in front and one behind—with the girl occasionally looking back, giving a coy smile to the boy trailing behind her. This made the boy blush, his naive gaze shining with unspoken affection.

The horse carriage traveled slowly, with Xin Er peeking out with interest from a corner of the carriage curtain. Especially when she saw some husbands and wives secretly holding hands among the crowd and whispering in each other’s ears, she pulled Mo Yan’s sleeve and pointed, "That’s too bold, even if they are husband and wife, in front of such a crowd, it would be so embarrassing if people saw. Not to mention there are children passing by, they might set a bad example."

Mo Yan glanced and silently turned her head away, imagining her naive sister suddenly transported to the modern age, encountering streets filled with couples hugging, kissing, and groping on Valentine’s Day. Would she be frightened enough to cover her eyes and run around in a panic?

Thinking of her sister’s panicked expression, Mo Yan couldn’t help but laugh inappropriately.

Seeing her sister laughing so merrily, Xin Er couldn’t help but worry. If Mo Yan’s eyes hadn’t remained clear, Xin Er might have thought she had gone mad. But could this kind of thing really make her sister laugh? Was it possible she was reminded of being with her brother-in-law? Could they also be like that?

The unenlightened Xin Er sunk into a mystifying confusion...

The carriage traveled along the straight streets for half an hour before finally arriving at the Scholar Mansion. The Scholar Mansion’s overall area wasn’t even one-fifth that of the Mo Family’s, but with more than twenty compact rooms, it could accommodate everyone from the Mo Family.

There was only one Scholar Mansion, and the residing rights of the new Champion Scholar lasted only three years. Before the emergence of the next Champion Scholar, the previous one had to find a new residence. Although the next civil examination was more than a year away, the Mo Family had already begun looking for a new house to avoid the last-minute rush.

Since guests were expected today, the usually closed doors of the mansion were wide open. As the carriage drew near, Uncle Sun came out upon hearing the noise. Seeing the three young ladies, he hurried forward to take the reins of Little Black, and respectfully greeted, "Greetings to the eldest miss, second miss, and third miss. The master and young masters have been waiting for a while now."
