Everyone followed the prestige, only to see a long figure slowly descending from the steps of the bluestone bridge. When I walked in, I saw that this person was about forty years old, with fair skin, clear eyes, and neatly and delicately trimmed hair. Although his appearance is not as handsome as Chen Qi's, he is also graceful and calm. He only wore a camel-colored crane embroidered with dark patterns of bamboo leaves, a large cloak with dark blue satin and black velvet edges, and a delicately made koi play lotus lantern in his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Jue hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and said, "It turned out to be Lord You in person." On the Shangyuan Festival, Lord You also came out to visit the lanterns? ”

After that, his eyes swept behind Lord You - neither the little maid nor the children of the family, could it be that he came out alone to visit the Lantern Festival?

When Chen Qi thought so, he unconsciously frowned secretly.

When Master You heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "The family is bored, so I came out for a walk." ”

As he spoke, his eyes involuntarily looked at the Chen family who had just urged the second sister to release the river lantern, and this time it had already fallen on the Chen family behind everyone-

But seeing the bright boats, the lanterns shining, and the thousands of lotus lanterns dotted and extinguished beside the river, Chen wore a big cloak of lotus lotus silk and silver thread embroidered with plum blossoms, and stood vividly among the tourists who were dressed in red or bright green, just like a hibiscus that bloomed quietly in the middle of the water.

Noticing Shangfeng's momentary stunned obsession, Chen Jue's heart moved, and he immediately smiled again. He introduced his family to Master You—until he came to Chen, and Chen Qifang said, "This is my sister-"

Lord You said, "Oh, it turns out that this is the rumored Sister Ling. Sure enough......"

For the rest, Lord You regretted his remorse, and hurriedly covered it up. The Chen family had already noticed the burning gaze that Lord You glanced at from time to time, and he understood the unfinished meaning of the half-cut words. After sneering in his heart, he deliberately hooked his lips and smiled at Lord You, but seeing that his eyes were circulating, his eyebrows were lingering, and his style was delicate, and he saw that Lord You was more and more spiritual, and he only felt that most of his body was crisp, and he didn't know where he was.

Old Lady Chen hurriedly glared at Chen with a cold eyebrow. Chen was startled, and hurriedly lowered his head and eyes, and restrained his voice. Lord You also came back to his senses, coughed lightly in embarrassment, and smiled at Chen Jue: "It's not early, You still has some trivial matters to deal with." Virtuous brother, please take care of yourself. ”

When Chen Jue heard this, he still smiled and said goodbye, as if he didn't notice Lord You's several gaffes.

Lord You gossiped with Chen Jue on one wall, and said goodbye to everyone in the Chen family on the other. His eyes involuntarily looked at Chen again, but he saw that Chen was looking down and talking to two little girls with delicate eyebrows, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.

Lord You was stunned, but his face left quietly. The whole humanoid figure was only trapped in the crowd of people who followed side by side at the lantern festival, still thinking about this scene of meeting in front of the lantern, and it was inevitable that there was some unfinished.

On the other hand, after Lord You left, Chen Qi smiled at everyone: "This Lord You is the one I say every day, and I value me very much." Coincidentally, his wife was also absent from the spring. It's the same illness as Sister Hui. ”

A widow, a widower.

Before a word fell, Chen had already looked at it and said with a smile: "What idea does my brother want to fight?" You want to do all this trickery in front of me, but you can't. ”

When Chen Qi heard this, he smiled and said, "Where did my sister start with this?" I don't understand. I just thought about it, and muttered something casually. Partial to you. People are serious people, and they are affectionate, and they want to keep filial piety for their wives for a year. ”

When Chen heard this, he sneered: "I said this as if I am not a serious person. ”

After saying that, he smiled again: "It's just a year of filial piety, so I say what is the deep meaning." Wouldn't someone like me who was willing to defend our family's short-lived ghost for three years make an oath? What's more, this year is quiet, and it's just a face-saving affair. There are a lot of aunts in the house, and I don't believe that he can bear to be a monk. ”

Chen Jue smiled and said, "How do you know that there is an aunt in someone's house?" ”

Chen sneered: "What kind of virtue are you men, I don't know?" It's as black as a crow, I'm just too lazy to say it. ”

When Chen Jue heard this, he became more and more toned and smiled: "That being said, your brother and I are rare white-haired crows. Your sister-in-law knows this best. ”

When Feng Shi heard this, he took a big sip and said, "You two brothers and sisters are gossiping, and you are dragging me to do something." ”

Mrs. Chen took it seriously, and hurt her daughter's heart, and hurriedly tugged on Chen Qi's sleeve and asked, "You said this Lord You...... What kind of character is he? Who else is in the family? You and I have a lot of details. ”

Before a word fell, Old Lady Chen reprimanded with a gloomy face: "What are you doing with these indifferent words, in public." Just look at the lights with peace of mind. ”

When everyone heard this, they didn't feel secretly speechless, and looked at each other and smiled.

Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen took the lead, holding on to the carved railing next to the bluestone bridge and slowly climbing the bridge steps. Seeing this, the servant who followed hurriedly stepped forward to help. Old lady Chen waved her hand, because she said, "I'll go by myself, and I don't need to be helped." ”

When Chen Jue heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mrs. Chen's arm, and said with a smile: "It's cold and the road is slippery, not to mention that the outside is not as good as at home, and the residual snow on the ground has not yet been cleaned." I'll just hold on to my father. ”

When Old Lady Chen heard this, she only glanced at Chen Jue, but she didn't say anything. Seeing this, Chen hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Chen, still laughing in his mouth: "My brother is supporting my father, and I am here to support my mother." Don't be jealous, old man! ”

After that, he turned around and smiled and instructed Feng Yinyin: "Sister-in-law can take care of the two sisters for me." If I get lost if I'm not careful, I don't have a place to cry. ”

Feng Shi hurriedly smiled and agreed, but Chen Qi teased loudly: "What are you afraid of, you really lost the eldest sister and the second sister, and I will ask Huan'er Wan'er to give you a pension and send you to the end of your life, I can't lose you." ”

When Chen heard this, he was not angry or angry, he still squinted at Chen Qi with a smile, and scolded with a smile in his mouth: "It seems that you can call the shots." If you really have the ability, you will discuss with your parents and sister-in-law now, pass Huan'er to my name, and give me the son who changes the genealogy fairly, then I will really obey you - it just so happens that I still lack a son, if you are really anxious about what I am anxious about, you will be my own brother. ”

After that, he still smiled and said to Chen Huan, who was standing behind him: "Huan'er, come here." From now on, you call me Mom, and I will love you in the future. ”

Hearing Chen's words, before others could react, Old Lady Chen hurriedly took a big sip on the ground, and scolded in his mouth: "It's really a dog can't spit out ivory in his mouth." What did I do in my last life, giving birth to you two people who are in the world? Sooner or later, I'll just be. ”

Mrs. Chen was beside her, and she shook her head again and again and sighed, only saying that Chen Qi's brothers and sisters were "really not like words".

The rest of the Chen Mansion followed, smiling and not reasoning. Chen Qi's brother and sister are just that.

Talking and laughing, they arrived on the bridge, and the second sister lay on the railing and looked into the distance, but saw a bright moon hanging high in the sky, and a bright moon in the water. Although there are no stars in the sky, there are thousands of lotus lamps in the water. The moonlight poured on the water, and the sparkling water surface was covered with a layer of silver veil in an instant, like a dream, more like the silver belt that cut off the cowherd and the weaver girl.

Follow the current upstream, but see farther away in some places where the water area is wide, the colorful boats of the powerful and wealthy and wealthy merchants in the city are all kinds of colorful boats, all of which are decorated with silk silk paper silk, the fish leaps over the dragon gate, the thousand-armed Guanyin, the boy worships his birthday, the pilgrimage of a hundred birds, and the eight immortals cross the sea...... Colorful, contending for beauty. The most conspicuous thing is a double dragon flying flower boat slowly coming in the middle of the river, the length of the boat is about 20 zhang, and the height of the boat is more than 3 zhang. The two huge dragon heads were held high, almost wanting to soar into the sky, eager to compare the colorful boats around them.

In particular, the four glass hydrangea lamps inlaid with the size of watermelons on the four dragon eyes on the dragon's head, and the four half-arc dioramas embedded in the inner wall, the mirror surface rushes outward, and the light shadow in the glass hydrangea lamp is forced to the outside. The dragon's eye is inlaid with diorama and transparent glass to "put the finishing touch". The scales on the dragon's body are all made of colored glazed inlays. There are still thousands of small waxes of lamp oil lit in the body, and from a distance, the light of the whole body is golden and brilliant, dazzling and shining, reaching the sky, and dyeing the river into pieces of gold, red, bright and green. When the river floats, it is sparkling, and the lights and water compete for brilliance, making it difficult to tell where is the water and where the light is for a while.

The second sister was dazzled and dumbfounded. Only now do we understand what the world of glass is, and what is the world of jewelry. Next to Chen Hua and others were also shouting, pointing, and the tourists who watched the scenery on the bridge all praised each other, "I really don't know whose family has set up a good flower boat, it is so rich and luxurious." ”

was secretly discussing, only to see a twenty-something boy dressed as a little hat in green clothes next to him, with a three or four-year-old girl on his shoulder, pointing to the dragon boat and showing off: "I know, I know, this is the flower boat of the Nan'an Wangfu." The glass hydrangea diorama lamp on the dragon's eye and the glass on the dragon's body were personally selected by our master and sent to the Nan'an Palace, and they can't be wrong. ”

When the tourists heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward to ask questions. That kid is in his twenties, and his temperament is out-of-the-box, and he is the age when he is vying for glory and boasting about his knowledge. Seeing that the people on the bridge surrounded him like the moon in the middle, he was proud, his tongue was bright, and he was busy telling his master what his surname was, where was the door, how he got the deal of Nan'an Wangfu, and how to carefully select those glass glasses to be sent to Nan'an Wangfu.

Only then did everyone learn that the old man in this little guy was not a dignitary in Beijing. It's just a face-swearing manager in a big commercial bank. It was not his lord who really took over the big business of Nan'an Wangfu, but the owner of the firm. His master is just helping the master on errands. However, although this kid speaks loudly, he is really a little eloquent, and he tells some interesting stories about the powerful people in Beijing, which also attracts everyone to listen carefully.

Only the second sister was shocked after hearing these words, and hurriedly squeezed forward and asked, "Do you know what the surname of the king of Nan'an County is?" And the king of Dongping County, the king of Beijing County, the king of Xining County, who is his surname? What else do you know? Is there any other prince in Beijing who is more famous? ”

The kid saw that the second sister was only four or five years old, and she was born like her own young lady, with exquisite eyebrows and eyes. I liked it more and more in my heart, and I hurriedly smiled and said: "Who doesn't know that Emperor Zitai and Emperor Zu ascended the throne, and a total of four kings with different surnames were crowned because of their merits. These four are Wang Mu Ying of Dongping County, Huo Huan of Nan'an County, Wang Jinzhao of Xining County and Wang Shuixi of Beijing County. In addition, the most prominent in Beijing are naturally several old princes who followed Emperor Tai and Zu to fight the world. For example, the old Guogong Jia of Ningguo Mansion Yan Rong Guofu Lao Guogong Jia Yuanzhen Guogong Mansion ......"

The second sister only heard this sentence, and there was a "buzz" in her ears, as if she had been beaten with a stick on her head, and she couldn't hear it anymore.

The little girl in Tsing Yi who was carrying on her shoulder saw that the second sister was about the same age as her, and when she liked playmates, she hurriedly leaned down and reached out to the second sister. The second sister is still stunned. Fortunately, the slaves and maids who followed the Chen Mansion saw the second sister talking to the little girl, and they had already squeezed in along the crowd and protected the second sister by their side. The masters of the Chen Mansion also noticed the movement here and hurriedly walked over.

Seeing the second sister standing on the ground in a daze, Chen's willow eyebrows were upside down, and he glared at the kid with anger. The kid was caught off guard, and was almost seduced by Chen's amorous gaze, and hung his head with a blushing face.

When Fu raised his head, Chen had already dragged the second sister's hand and walked away. The kid was stunned, stunned.

After being dragged away from the crowd by the Chen family, the second sister was still immersed in the little guy's informative words and couldn't come back to her senses. Even Chen's rebuke turned a deaf ear. All I was thinking about was the "Four Kings and Eight Princes" and the "Rongning Two Mansions......

Am I wearing it in "Dream of Red Mansions"? But who am I in "Dream of Red Mansions"?

reminds me of the eldest sister's fiancé - born in the Zhang family, the head of the Huangliang Zhuang, also known as Zhang Hua. With such a familiar setting, am I the water-based Yanghua in the book, the shameless but self-righteous "Third Sister You"?

When the second sister thought of this, it was as if she had been struck by lightning on a sunny day, and she couldn't believe it. I was about to think about it deeply, but I found that I had been in the back house since I crossed over, and I didn't dare to ask more questions because of my cautious actions. The female servants in the family never mention the affairs of the foreign dynasty except for the trivial matters of the house. So that the second sister searched her intestines and scraped her stomach for half a day, except for a few words from the little girl in Tsing Yi just now, she didn't know anything else.

When she was anxious, the second sister became more and more annoyed that she had no time to read the book "The Deeds of Emperor Tai and Zu" given to him by Old Man Chen in order to dispense medicine powder for the Lantern Festival, so that she didn't know what was going on in the world today. Therefore, he was bored and angry, and he was restless, and in the next lantern festival, it was not easy to visit. Everyone in the Chen Mansion thought that the second sister was reprimanded by the Chen family, so they hurriedly opened their mouths to dissuade the Chen family, and coaxed the second sister to look at the lanterns.

Not to mention how the second sister was depressed and uneasy, only said that everyone in the Chen Mansion had finished shopping the flower street, guessed the riddles, and felt cold and soaked in the cold, but they were reluctant to go home. I was looking for a clean place to eat some dumplings to warm up. I arrived at a restaurant facing the flower street, and was led up to the private room on the second floor by the shopkeeper.

Push open the window covered with silk veil, and you can condescendingly look at the brightly lit and crowded flower street. The second sister was unsettled and wanted to lie by the window and look at the scenery to settle down. I accidentally saw that the little girl who had just had a relationship was carried by someone and walked under the window. It's just that the person holding her is not wearing the green coat and hat that the second sister has ever seen, but a dark grape purple brocade. It seems that his body is a little shorter and fatter than the little guy he just saw.

The second sister's heart jumped, and she hurriedly leaned out to take a closer look, and her eyes couldn't help but become cold-

Sure enough, it's not the talkative kid before!
