To put it plainly, the Lantern Festival was really just a grand matchmaking event for young men and women.
If a young man and woman took a liking to each other, and their families were of equal social standing, the elders would be happy to make the match.
Mrs. Chen and Gu Zhang had met at the Lantern Festival in Lin City.
At the thought, Mrs. Chen couldn't help but glance at Gu Zhang.
As if reading her mind, Gu Zhang looked over at her at the same moment.
A rare blush spread across Mrs. Chen's face.
Gu Zhang couldn't help but remember that year. He pictured a young Mrs. Chen standing under the lanterns. When she saw him looking her way, she had shyly lowered her head, her own cheeks flushing a rosy red.
Gu Fei caught the entire flirtatious exchange between her parents and quickly lowered her head, pretending not to notice.
Gu Erlang stared at Lan Zhi without blinking. 'Tomorrow night,' he thought. 'Tomorrow night, I can go see the lanterns with Lan Zhi!'
