An Zhenwei's birthday banquet was spent happily in Siniang's drunken words and laughter of the elders, and after waking up, Ruan didn't punish Siniang much, but only shocked Siniang into a cold sweat with his eyes, and was honest for several days.

Soon the Shangyuan Festival arrived, in the afternoon a group of small people were already excited, as soon as Master An came back, the children's purses were full again, and they were planning to buy things to visit the place, that is, San Lang, who had never been able to keep silver in his hands for more than two days, also saved a few taels of silver for the Lantern Festival, and read the mask and "sword" he wanted to buy.

Siniang pestered the eldest brother An Mingren and the second brother An Minghou to help her guess the lantern riddle at night, every year there are many stalls in the lamp market to guess the lantern riddle, generally pay a few copper coins to pick a lantern to guess, guess the lamp and take it, guess the wrong money will be paid in vain.

Siniang likes to guess lantern riddles, she is happy when she wins, and she is distressed if she doesn't, she has to give up a lot of private money every year in the past two years, and this year she must pester the eldest brother and second brother to help her guess.

Liuniang doesn't care, she likes to look at the lights, but she doesn't necessarily have to have, isn't there a saying that "if you see it, you have it"?

It was dark early in winter, and the road must be crowded today, so as soon as the time arrived, Mrs. Min sent someone to deliver the letter, and the An family packed up, and met with the Min family in the alley after two quarters of an hour.

Master An had an appointment with someone and didn't come back today, Xiao Qilang still stayed at home to take care of Shunniang and Yingniang, and everyone else was together.

Wu and sister-in-law Ruan discussed hiring two more cars in advance, otherwise it would be too shameless for a large family to sit together.

The Min family is thin, Min Dalangjun only has a son of Min Shiqing, Min Erlangjun has a son and a daughter, the youngest daughter is only four years old, and the eldest son is ten years old.

San Lang was so greedy that he looked at Erlang, who was in the same car: "Brother, let's talk to Grandpa, let's buy us a horse too!"

Erlang is helpless, doesn't he want it? The family has enough mule carts to keep two mule carts, how can there be a place to raise horses.

"When we take the exam, Xiu will go to the academy to study, and then we will be able to ride. "The academy has riding and archery lessons.

San Lang is still sour: "Brother Qing didn't get into the Xiucai exam......"

Erlang couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head: "How can you compare like this?"

"Oops!" San Lang almost knocked his head on the window after eating this pat, turned his head and glared angrily, but found that his good-tempered second brother seemed to be really angry, and San Lang immediately coaxed: "It's just talking...... I know it!"

In order to be able to ride a horse, Xiucai must take the test!

Erlang was speechless when he saw the light in his younger brother's eyes, and let him whisper and think there, too lazy to pay attention to him.

There were too many people on the road, and it was already five o'clock when he hurried to Jinfeng Building, Min Dalangjun was quite familiar with this area of Jinfeng Building, and he didn't go to the street with the coachman, and led everyone to slowly go around from the road to the back.

The alley behind is cramped, and only one mule cart can be allowed to pass through the danger, and it is really difficult to turn around, so he asked the coachman to drive the car to a secluded place to park and wait, and led everyone to walk a few more steps and knocked on the backyard.

"Min Langjun?"

The guy who opened the door recognized him at a glance, and immediately beckoned them in, while flattering: "Before you had the foresight, the streets were blocked into a pot of porridge, and the Xiangcheng Bofu and the Changyi Marquis Mansion almost fought." ”

There are many restaurants on this street, many large restaurants have several floors, and there are even more attics on the top, which is a good place to watch the lights.

The location of Jinfeng Pavilion is good, and there are some characteristics in the food, and Min Dalangjun can book a private room here to show his ability tactfully.

Min Dalangjun and his buddies were noisy: "Where is Brother Liang?

The guy shook his head: "Lead Chen Xiaolang to the street." When I left, I also asked to prepare your private room for you. ”

Min Dalang Jun Lizi had face, and nodded with satisfaction.

The so-called private rooms on the second floor are separated by screens like the Manxiang Building, but the screens are taller and more tightly blocked.

Knowing that the people who were going to come today, the guys removed the screen in the middle of the two large elegant rooms in advance, and replaced them with a small table for eight people, just opening two tables for the men and one table for the women, and a smaller embroidered peony silk screen was placed in the middle for a little while, and it was not very crowded.

The table opened early, and the men had begun to stagger, the boy's table was next to the peony silk screen, Liu Niang could clearly hear the boy's conversation, and they were much more relaxed when they didn't sit at a table with the elders, and then look at themselves being tied to their mother's side, it was really sad.

This is the second time that the two concubines of the Ruan family and the second wife of the Min family have met, there are no elders on the Min family, and the two brothers said that they are not separated, in fact, because Min Erlangjun has been in office for many years, they have already lived in a single family, and the road is far away, and Min Erlangjun's family does not come back every year for the New Year.

After the cold noise, the girls were saluted and the banquet began.

At this time, I don't talk about food, I don't talk about anything, so I naturally talk while eating.

A few ladies chatted, Ruan and Wu only knew that Min Erlangjun was returning to Beijing to report on his work this year, and the two concubines looked at each other, and Wu also counted on Min Erlangjun to take care of his own family in Jiangnan for his official ability.

Ruan's family probably knows why the Min family invited them so warmly, An Zhenyou has a good classmate in the ministry, although the Min family has a relationship with the Min family, but if it can be solved simply, no one wants to go around in circles, right?

Siniang and Liuniang are teasing Min Sanniang, the little girl is only four years old, her name is Han'er, she combed two little maiden buns and was so cute, how could she stand the coaxing of the two sisters, and after a while, she took the initiative to say her nickname Ugly, Liuniang deliberately asked her: "Is it because Han'er was ugly when she was a child?"

"No," the little girl could already understand what she was saying, and hurriedly retorted: "It's because I was born when I was ugly." ”

Cough...... The four mothers and six mothers glanced at each other and snickered.

Han'er is still just a milk name, but the two brothers An Zhenyou and An Zhenwei are directly written in the big name, and Master An is really not too good at saving trouble.

"What are you laughing at?"

"No, no, Han'er is cute, we all like it!" How could she tell the reason for her father's name, Siniang hurriedly coaxed her.

Han'er didn't believe it, the little girl was smart, and pouted: "Liar!"

"No, how can my sister deceive people!"

No matter how much they coaxed, the little girl only pouted and said she didn't believe it. A few mothers were present, and Siniang didn't dare to let Han'er make trouble, so she could only coax in a low voice, but she couldn't say: "Then why do you believe it!"

"Hmm......" Han'er bit her finger, her eyes lit up, and her other little hand pointed: "You give this to me!"

It is the sachet hanging around Siniang's waist, not an ordinary sachet, this is a little bit of string with beads by herself, and she puts the dried flowers that she has carefully picked and sunned, which looks special and exquisite.

―――――― I wiped me and I finally caught up, crazy, I went out to eat at night and thought I would be back soon, but they kept chatting and just didn't disperse, and I couldn't leave early, I was really crazy!
