Chapter 281: Catch up with the New Year
Li Jin has loved to be lively since he was a child, and he is bold.
Therefore, wherever there are lively markets inside and outside the capital, there is nothing she hasn't visited.
Even the East and West markets, which are the most lively during the Chinese New Year, she has been accompanied by her mother no less than five or six times.
Therefore, when she heard Li Hui say that she wanted to take her to see the world, although she smiled and replied "yes", she didn't feel that she could see a more lively and prosperous scene than the capital in northern Xinjiang, especially in such a county town.
However, although her long-term knowledge may not be necessary, this trip can definitely confirm some ideas for her and bring a lot of help.
Li Hui led Li Jin and Su Jing, and after walking through the streets and alleys for a quarter of an hour, Li Jin looked at the lively scene not far away, and had to admit in her heart that she was still too arrogant before.
Because the three of them came on horseback, their sight was more than a star and a half wider than on foot.
It is also because of this that she was able to overlook and overlook almost the entire picture of what Li Hui called "the largest market in the Northland".
While watching, Li Jin couldn't help but murmur: "This is really, an unusual bazaar......"
There is no plaque or word on the high neighborhood archway, and below it is the largest entrance of this annual fair.
The flow of people like a tide, shuttling back and forth through the three doors under the archway, although shoulder to shoulder, is also orderly.
She only glanced at it from a distance, and said silently in her heart, although the Guxian New Year Fair was not as prosperous as the capital, it was never inferior in momentum.
Even from the perspective of this huge scene and liveliness, it is even better than the capital.
And what surprised her the most was that the market behind the nameless archway seemed to be opened in a specially opened space!
As far as the eye can see, from the entrance of the archway, there are stalls or small sheds inside, and there is no more house pavilion until the root of the city wall.
Li Hui smiled, stared at Li Jin's emotional expression for a moment, and then said, "Let's go, let's go have breakfast." ”
The loud and excited voice made Li Jin come back to his senses in an instant.
It's just that after reacting to the meaning of Li Hui's words, she couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously said, "Huh, here, eat?"
As he spoke, Li Jin confirmed, and turned his head to look at the crowded bazaar, wishing that there was no place to stand.
If you want to eat here, you probably don't need to think about where to sit, just think about how things can be put into your mouth without freezing cold, but they don't splash on other people's clothes.
Li Jin's confused and excited eyes suddenly made Li Hui laugh, nodded and said, "Naturally, there is no place to sit and eat, but this market is fun to eat while walking." Don't you want to try it?"
Li Hui said casually, but Li Jin noticed that the look in his eyes was slightly nervous and apprehensive.
Could it be that she rejected him?
Li Jin felt a little funny, this was not a big deal, could it be that Li Hui wanted to show off too much, and then worried that he was not interested?
However, she will not refuse no matter what, even if she doesn't investigate the folk customs and business conditions of Northern Xinjiang for herself, she can't bear to live up to the kindness of others.
Many thoughts only flashed in Li Jin's mind, "Then there is General Lao Li, who will lead the way for us." ”
After receiving Li Jin's affirmative answer, Li Hui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately led the way for Li Jin with higher interest.
"Okay, that's refreshing, follow behind. ”
As he spoke, Li Hui turned over and dismounted, signaling Li Jin and Su Jing to also dismount and follow him.
Su Jing had been watching vigilantly, especially when he was about to arrive at the entrance under the archway.
He began to disapprove of riding back and forth, for fear that Li Hui would use the excuse of taking care of the horses to take him away from his young lady.
Therefore, the closer he got to the destination, the more tense he felt all over his body, and the more hostile his gaze at Li Hui became.
Li Jin didn't think about it so much, he just felt that it was convenient to ride a horse and easy to escape in case of trouble, so they were still being tracked now.
And after she observed, she realized that there was no place around where she could tie her horse or store it on her behalf, when someone suddenly jumped to them a few steps away and beckoned, "General, Li Gongzi." ”
It turned out that Chen An had arrived first and was waiting for them at the entrance.
When Li Jin and the three of them came closer, Chen An immediately stepped forward and handed the oil paper bag in his arms to Li Jin.
"Li Gongzi, try it, this is the Wu Ji bun that the general specially instructed me to wait for before dawn. This is a must in Guxian, I'm worried that you won't have time to arrive and won't be able to eat hot?"
Seeing that Chen An's cheeks were red from the cold, Li Jin couldn't bear it for a while, but before she could speak, Li Hui quickly took the big oiled paper bag and stuffed it into Li Jin's arms.
"Don't listen to his invitation, this is the food he has been thinking about before he came back, so when he comes back, he is so anxious to buy it, I just asked him to help us bring some back by the way." ”
After Chen An was stunned for a moment, he immediately burst into laughter, as if he was begging for mercy after his mind was exposed.
Li Jin didn't doubt him, she only smiled and thanked her, and turned around and took out the sheepskin water bag that Su Jing had prepared for her from the horse, and handed it over.
"Even if it's because of the piggyback, thank you very much. Drink some hot water slowly, this water should be at least lukewarm. ”
Su Jing was a little disapproving, and glanced at her behind Li Jin's back.
Hey, there are only two bags of hot water for her, and this is just the beginning of the game, why did the young lady share one bag?
Li Hui hadn't discovered the mystery under Li Jin's saddle before, but when he looked at it now, he found that the cloth bag hanging under the saddle was actually covered with a thick blanket.
After that, he turned his gaze back to the water bag in Li Jin's hand that emitted a slight amount of heat, and after a moment, he turned to Su Jing, who was looking at Li Jin resentfully.
Well, Li Jin's servants are not bad, they are careful and thoughtful, but they are too vigilant.
After thinking for a moment without losing objectivity and rarely complaining, Li Hui turned his head to Li Jin and smiled: "On such a day, where can he be frozen? ”
After that, Li Hui turned to Chen An and said: "You go to Fushun Teahouse and wait for us, today's refreshments are mine, remember not to drink, and when we return to the camp, the old wine under the willow tree in my jar will be yours." ”
Chen An originally obeyed the order in a regular manner, but when he heard the wine under the willow tree, his eyes immediately lit up, and his excited face seemed to be steaming.
"Yes, General!"
After Chen An received the order loudly and heroically, he immediately took the horse from the hands of the three people, and after saying goodbye, he turned around and strode away with his head held high.
Li Jin looked at the back in the distance with some tears and laughter, looking at Chen An like that, it was like catching a pie falling from the sky?
Moreover, at this moment, she had the illusion that Li Hui was compensating Chen An?
But before she could think about it more, Li Hui had already taken her arm and walked under the crowded archway.
"Let's go, let's go to the New Year's fair. It's late for a while, but it's easy to be robbed of delicious food. ”
Su Jing was carrying a water bag on his back, and he happened to see Li Hui pulling Li Jin on one side.
He was just about to jump to his feet, ask Li Hui to let go of the rules, and let go of his young lady's hand, Li Jin and Li Hui were almost gone!
“…… Hey, wait for me!"
As a last resort, Su Jing could only let go of his anger first and quickly chased the backs of the two.
