Chapter 227: Lanterns
In a year's time, it is rare to be able to have such a close contact with the patriarch, of course, the villagers are excited, and this time is also the time when everyone is most looking forward to it.
For God, they were unconditionally faithful, and for patriarchs and high priests, they were unconditionally obedient.
Blind obedience is sometimes terrible, however, Su Xi didn't have the time to dwell on this kind of faith-related issue at this time, she had to work hard to play a foreigner who also respected and loved the patriarch very much.
Twenty-eight lanterns, all hung in front of the painter's door, scattered, plus all the same color of white lanterns, orange soft light, plus the lanterns painted on the vivid characters and scenes, as well as the storyline of Su Xi's inscription, soon attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
Seeing everyone looking at their lanterns with great interest, Su Xi felt the beauty in his heart. It's been a long time since I've felt this kind of achievement, and today when I see everyone praising her like this, ah no, and the works of those four painters, she is overjoyed.
When people's achievements are great and their ambitions are great, it is not easy to be satisfied.
For example, when she first started her business in modern times, a little achievement made her very happy and excited, and she would always reward herself a little, and the achievement at that time was an achievement for her.
However, with the growth of the company, the strengthening of the enterprise, the increase of employees, the signing of the list is getting bigger and bigger, and the cooperative company is becoming more and more bullish, and the money earned is dozens of times that of the past, or even hundreds of times, but there is no such exciting sense of achievement that it once had.
Such a sense of accomplishment is far away from Su Xi, and now, without any financial entanglements, Su Xi seems to have found the sweetness and excitement when he started his business.
The sense of accomplishment that comes from doing things yourself is always more real than just being a conductor.
It is precisely because of this sense of accomplishment that Su Xi is even more looking forward to the reaction of the patriarch after seeing these twenty-eight lamps today.
With the cheers rising, and mixed with the respectful title of the patriarch by the human voice, Su Xi knew that the patriarch was coming.
It was a very ornate step, with a huge tent on it, and even brass bells tinkling all around, and about a dozen people in front and behind it, all of them were sturdy men and beautifully dressed women.
As the patriarch marched forward, the villagers knelt on the ground and saluted the patriarch reverently.
Of course, Su Xi couldn't be too abrupt, and knelt down with everyone to salute, but his eyes couldn't help but secretly look at the patriarch, lest he miss his twenty-eight lights.
This may be the only chance she has to get close to the patriarch, and naturally she can't afford to miss it.
Fortunately, no matter who the door of the house is, there is no eye-catching lantern hanging in front of Meng Qing's shop, and it is rare that there is no overly bright color coat, but it can stand out from the many gorgeous and different, slightly messy lanterns that the patriarch has seen.
"Wait a minute!" the patriarch began.
The attendant stopped, the patriarch's eyes fell on the lantern hanging above Meng Qing's shop, and for a moment, he said something to the attendant beside him, and then saw the attendant come over with a few people, and asked the group of people kneeling on the ground, "Who belong to these lanterns?"
Meng Qing looked at Su Xi, and Su Xi stood up without hesitation: "These are all Xiaomin's. ”
The squire's eyes showed surprise: "These are all yours?"
Su Xi nodded and said very firmly: "It's all mine." ”
"The patriarch said, your lantern is very chic, if you want to take it away and enjoy it, do you want to sell it or give it away?" What the waiter said, it was obvious that he was here to ask for it, Su Xi was afraid that he didn't even have room for bargaining, and pretended to let Su Xi choose it himself.
Su Xi heard the sighs of the people around him, and at the same time saw the envious eyes of them looking at him.
Su Xi guessed in his heart, it seems that this lantern that can be selected by the patriarch is an extremely honorable honor for the master. And Suxi is not a rare honor for these villagers, but the reaction of the rare patriarch after seeing these lanterns.
She needs this opportunity, a chance to get close to "Abang", and she must find out whether this "Abang" is Jing Hao or not.
If it was, she would have taken him away, but if not, she would have to get out as soon as possible.
However, in Su Xi's subconscious, she actually regarded Abang as Jing Hao, and the injured "Abang" described from the witch doctor and Zheng Dazui's mouth was too similar to Jing Hao's situation, and it was difficult for Su Xi not to associate Abang with Jing Hao.
"You're a foreigner, right?" The attendant seemed to see Su Xi's identity, she only hesitated slightly, and the attendant attacked Su Xi from another direction, and even deliberately raised his voice, as if he was afraid that others would not know the identity of Su Xi's foreigner.
Damn, what's wrong with the outsiders, and you don't clearly stipulate that outsiders are not allowed to come to your Lantern Festival.
It's just that what the attendant didn't expect was that because of Su Xi's diagnosis and treatment by the witch doctor, everyone already knew Su Xi's identity as a "foreigner", so this trick was useless for Su Xi.
However, Su Xi still pretended to be very jealous, climbed down the pole, and hurriedly said, "Send, these lanterns are given to the patriarch." ”
While speaking, she turned her head sideways and wanted to signal Meng Qing to take down all the twenty-eight lamps, but as soon as she turned her head, she found that Meng Qing was actually directing people to pick them up.
Su Xi almost scolded: You really don't treat yourself as an outsider, you treat these lamps as your own property, I haven't even opened my mouth yet, you have actually started to help pack up and send them to outsiders.
At the same time, the attendant commanded some attendants who followed behind him to take the lantern from the hands of Meng Qing and the others, and returned to the patriarch's seat in a majestic manner, shouted loudly, and continued to move forward.
Su Xi wanted to try to see the appearance of the person sitting on the seat, but he only saw a side face, and he had already walked forward.
Su Xi sighed, no matter what, in the end, this lantern has already fallen into the hands of the patriarch, whether he can summon himself depends on the attraction of the twenty-eight lanterns.
Meng Qing walked to Su Xi's side and said with some apologies on his face: "That, after all, it is what the patriarch wants, right, where is there a reason to bargain." ”
Su Xi snorted coldly: "Stinky boy, are you blaming me?"
