Chapter 91: Lantern Festival Lantern Festival

For children, the most fun part of the New Year is to be able to wear new clothes, eat a lot of delicious food and set off firecrackers, and it is the most interesting to enjoy the lanterns on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Da Niu and Xiao Hu brought large bags of gifts early in the morning, and rushed back to Ye Mansion in the carriage of Dingguo Mansion. The New Year's gifts of the two mansions have been given as early as the New Year, and now the gifts brought back by the two children are all prepared with the help of Mrs. Dingguo Gongshizi, which is mostly delicious and fun, but it makes the big girl and the little tiger happy when they play.

The eldest girl was originally good with Huiya, and now she has returned to the Dingguo Mansion, although she has her grandmother and Yueshu to protect her, but the sisters in the next room still inevitably want to say something sour in private, so she feels more and more that Huiya's kindness to her is really rare, and the two sisters whispered above their heads.

And Xiaohu was very curious to look at the two boys of Uncle Ye's family's poetry and book, and it didn't take much effort to mingle with the two children, riding a pony made of bamboo poles, and running around the yard quickly.

The time at Lianjia flies, and the two sisters and brothers are tired of following the people in the family for a whole day before they reluctantly go back.

Before leaving, the eldest girl asked Huiya to go to see the lights together on the fifteenth day of the first month, and Mrs. Lian helped Huiya agree. However, Mrs. Lian couldn't go because of her big belly, so she told Mrs. Ye that she asked the eldest brother to take her sister-in-law and Huiya out, and when the time came, they would meet the big girl in the famous Tianxiang Building.

agreed to go out to play, Hui Ya's mood was very excited, the past and this life combined, Hui Ya did not go out to enjoy the experience of the lanterns, now I heard that I could go out to guess the lantern riddle or something, I only felt that the excited heart was going to jump out, looking forward to the arrival of the fifteenth day of the first month.

On the day of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Ye Fu had dinner early, and naturally, a bowl of delicious rice balls was indispensable on the table.

Strange to say, during the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, although the things eaten in the north and south are all glutinous rice flour with fillings, the names and tastes of the methods are very different.

The thing eaten in the north is called Lantern Festival, which is a dumpling the size of a thumb belly that is rolled out by throwing the stuffing that has been frozen hard and cut into the size of a fingernail into the glutinous rice flour, and the filling is mainly white sugar, peanuts, sesame seeds and green and red silk roses. This kind of Lantern Festival is a little hard when it is boiled and eaten, but when it is fried until golden brown and then stained with sugar, it tastes unique.

The southern food is called tangyuan, which is wrapped in the filling and soft glutinous rice flour, which is slightly larger than the size of the Lantern Festival, and the content of the filling seems to be different. When the glutinous rice balls are boiled and eaten, they are very sweet and soft, and the glutinous and fragrant ones are also very delicious.

After a full dinner and a bowl of snacks to suit the occasion, Huiya set off with the big team. The Ye family is from Huxi, so they naturally eat rice balls, and the rice balls in the Huiya bowl have two kinds of bean paste and black sesame seeds, both of which are sweet and fragrant and make people want to swallow their tongues in one bite.

Even Mrs. Lian's belly was too big to go out, and even the old man naturally accompanied his daughter-in-law at home, and the soft bags, poems, and books were too small, so he stayed at home to accompany Master Ye and them. Uncle Ye and Second Master Ye are both husband and wife, and Hui Ya is naturally not good at being a light bulb, so she followed the lively little uncle Ye Lu in a group, ready to visit the streets and alleys of the Imperial City.

Night has not yet fallen, but there are already a lot of small stalls on the street of Dengshikou, and people are very lively. Hui Ya and the others got off the car on the road next to Dengshikou Street, and began to shop in groups.

Huiya walked down the street, looking at the bustling flow of people, listening to the cries in her ears, and a pair of beautiful apricot eyes smiled unconsciously. Although it is not yet dark, there are many lanterns hanging on both sides of the road, rabbits, butterflies, lotuses, all kinds of beautiful things.

Huiya looked at the lamp with a smile, although she still looked like a lady, she was very happy in her heart, and she was even happier when she thought that she would have to meet with the cute big girl and Xiaohu later. And after being stuffed with a sugar gourd in her hand, Hui Ya was stunned.

"What are you doing in a daze, it's delicious!" Ye Lu said with a smile, although he is an adult, he still loves such sweet and sour snacks. But as a man, you want to save face, so naturally you can't say that you like these, so you can only take advantage of the convenience of buying things for your nephews and nieces on weekdays, and buy yourself a bunch of food to satisfy your hunger.

So when Huiya was present, Ye Lu continued to exercise such a right very well. Although Ye Lu is nominally an uncle, he is six or seven years older than Huiya, and he is a playful and jumpy character.

Huiya was stunned to look at the honey-colored sugar skin wrapped in the bright red hawthorn, smelling the sweet honey, Rao felt that she had to maintain a ladylike demeanor, and couldn't help but lick it a little. Well, that's sweet! Huiya couldn't help but smile and squinted her eyes, becoming more and more happy.

The red and bright sugar gourd, with a full layer of sugar hanging on it, the syrup in the cold weather seems to be honey-colored ice, slightly cool but with an incomparably sweet taste, with sour and refreshing hawthorn, it is unexpectedly delicious.

"Thank you, uncle!" Huiya ate the sugar gourd with a smile, forgetting her ladylike demeanor for a while, and thanked Ye Lu as she walked.

"What is there to thank you for! My sister has entrusted you to me, and I have to take good care of you! Ye Lu grinned, still very fond of Huiya's lovely niece.

As the night gradually thickened, the streets became more crowded with pedestrians, and lanterns were lit one by one, decorating the already noisy streets with beautiful and bright stars. Hui Ya held the lotus lamp bought by Ye Lu in one hand and the sugar gourd in the other, eating and walking, happy and happy.

"Look, there's a lantern riddle guessing ahead!" Ye Lu saw the commotion in front of him, and knew that guessing the lantern riddle had begun, so he pulled Huiya forward with his eyes shining, obviously liking this activity very much.

Hui Ya stumbled and followed Ye Lu to the bottom of the lantern riddle, watching him look up at the lantern fan, and she also followed with a smile, and she actually felt very interesting.

"Hit, hit!" Ye Lu guessed a lantern riddle, laughed happily, stuffed the lantern riddle won from the boss's hand into Hui Ya's hand, and then continued to look for his own lantern riddle.

Hui Ya carried two lanterns in her hand, and stood behind her with a smile and looked around, and suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared in Hui Ya's sight, which made her heart tremble, and she couldn't help but follow without saying a word to Ye Lu. (To be continued.) )
