Along the way, Li Jin took Qin Muwen and purchased a sugar blower, a feather mask, and a small wooden rabbit sculpture.

Actually, the stall owner had no intention of selling the wooden rabbit sculpture, but he knew Li Jin.

Due to heavy rainfall in the first half of the year, his youngest child had fallen ill because of inadequate clothing. Thanks to Dr. Li's remarkable treatment, Yao'er was saved.

The stall owner had initially planned to express his gratitude to Dr. Li at Xinglin Hall. However, this time, he gave the wooden sculpture directly to Li Jin by chance.

"It's not a valuable item, Dr. Li. Please do not decline," the stall owner said.

Li Jin had no choice but to accept the gift.

In his previous life as a doctor, he was accustomed to not accepting any gratitude from patients. However, it was different in ancient times. While he did not require families to express their gratitude for minor ailments, it was customary for them to do so if he saved the elderly or children in the family.

This was an unwritten rule. The last time Li Jin provided the treasurer Song's daughter-in-law with a pair of decoctions, he also received a thank you gift.

The main street was short, and Li Jin quickly led Qin Muwen to the end, where they saw the glistening river.

The riverside was much more bustling than the main street, with vendors selling lanterns and snacks and jugglers performing fire breathing.

It was lively.

Li Jin even noticed a high platform on the other side of the river with painted lanterns hanging from bamboo poles, and a crowd was rushing towards it.

Li Jin caught the attention of those around him and mentioned that the girls from Piaoxiangyuan would be dancing there.

He frowned slightly. While he was not afraid of being wrongly accused, he was cautious with his reputation.

The previous two years had caused too much harm to the young man, and he did not want to reopen the wound.

Li Jin noticed that the boy was still looking at the juggling child and had not heard this.

Thus, he led the teenager away from the crowd and towards a less crowded area by the river.

Qin Muwen had only heard about lanterns and snacks at the temple fair. He could not have imagined that it would be so lively.

This was just a small town. If it were in the capital, it would be even more prosperous.

Qin Muwen was very well-behaved. Despite his desire to watch the juggling, Li Jin led him away and he followed without obediently.

Anyway, with A Jin by his side, he felt content.

Li Jin took him to a secluded spot with few people around.

He didn't rush to purchase the lanterns, as all the lanterns were already sold on the main street. He needed to find a place along the river where he could hang the lanterns.

Fortunately, there was a vendor selling lanterns next to a large, flat rock by the riverbank. The selection was impressive and it was a lively sight to see.

Li Jin asked Qin Muwen to choose a lantern he liked. The young man was thrilled, but all the lanterns looked equally beautiful and he was overwhelmed.

However, he knew that since A Jin had given him the freedom to choose, then such trivial matters shouldn't bother A Jin.

In the end, he picked a wooden rabbit sculpture and a river lantern painted with a jade rabbit.

The vendor had seen newlyweds come to light river lanterns before, but rarely did he see husbands come alone.
