Chapter Ninety-One: The Lantern Festival

After Ling'er's family chatted for a while, Zhao Ping came over and reminded:

"Girl, the hour is almost up, and now is the right time to go." Everyone was very happy when they heard it, there are no entertainment projects in this era, so they are still looking forward to this lantern festival.

"Alright, let's go now." Ling'er had heard about the excitement of the Lantern Festival for a long time, and she hadn't seen any big scenes after coming for so long.

"It's better for us to walk, there are a lot of people tonight, and it's inconvenient to take a car." Zhao Ping explained that today is the only day of the year when the whole people go out, and it is the best choice to walk smoothly.

"Then let's walk, we're close anyway, it won't be long before we arrive, sister, you'll have to hold me in a while." Everyone pay attention, don't let the crowd disperse, if you disperse outside, don't panic and follow the flow of people, there is a big banyan tree at the end, we gather there. "Ling'er can go to understand the terrain in advance, and the location of the lantern festival is Xidazhi Street, which is a big straight road. Even if you get separated, there is nothing, as long as you keep walking, you will reach the end of the road.

After everyone showed their understanding, they went out together, and there were groups of people everywhere along the way, although they were dressed differently, but everyone had a smile on their faces. Ling'er and Min'er naturally walked together, behind them were two girls, Zhao He and Liu followed behind the two girls, and finally Uncle Liu, Zhao Ping, and Zhao An. The others didn't come out, and there couldn't be no one in the shop watching.

In fact, for Ling'er, who is used to seeing big scenes, this is really nothing, I don't know if she was infected by Min'er, and she gradually became excited when she walked in the crowd, and the two of them were like colorful butterflies dancing among the flowers. Looking east and west, they will look at each other and smile from time to time, and the cheerful appearance makes the people around them feel pleasing to the eye. Zhao He was also full of pride when he saw this scene, and couldn't help but be infected by them, and couldn't help but hold Liu's hand. Liu was so frightened that he was about to break free, but Zhao He didn't give her a chance and whispered:

"Don't move, do you want everyone to pay attention to us?" After speaking, he continued to look straight ahead as if nothing happened, Liu was so angry that he was speechless, he didn't expect this person to be so thick-skinned. So angry that she gently pinched his arm with her other hand without a trace, that strength is not much different from mosquito bites for a strong man like Zhao He, Zhao He turned his head to look at Liu Shi who was glaring at him and said happily:

"Hurt your finger carefully." Liu Shi glanced at him angrily and ignored it, letting him hold his hand. Although she seems to be very angry on the surface, in fact, her heart is very sweet, I used to see the heart-wrenching feelings in books, and I also longed for it when I was young, but later I found out that it was just a myth made up by the writer. And now that I have passed the age of standing, I no longer have the beauty and arrogance of the year, I thought that this life would be like this, but I didn't expect that I could meet such a man, he gave her such a beautiful feeling, and God treated her really well. Although Min'er's attitude made her very sad, she didn't resent her at all, and she had always treated the two sisters as if they were her own children all these years. She made it clear to Zhao He that if the two of them disagreed with their affairs, then she would only be their housekeeper for the rest of her life.

"Sister, have you ever seen your father smile so happily?" Ling'er and the two inadvertently saw this scene, and Ling'er was very relieved by that feeling, so she took the opportunity to persuade Min'er.

"Dad is really happy, it's the first time I've seen Dad like this." Min'er said with some distraction that her mother always washed her face with tears when she was alive in the past, and most of her father sighed. Even later, their lives were better, and they had never seen their father so relaxed and happy, even when he laughed, he didn't let people see his joy at a glance like this.

"This may be the kind of love between the two mentioned in the book, sister, many people may not be able to find such feelings in their lives, are you still against them now?" I didn't expect Zhao He and Liu's to have such a chemical change, but thinking about it, this is also a good thing, and I originally planned to ask the matchmaker to find one for him.

"Ling'er, isn't your heart awkward at all?" Min'er found that Ling'er had grown up overnight since she arrived in the county, as if she was her sister.

"Sister, I don't feel awkward, my father is happy, I am naturally happy, why is it awkward? Everyone has their own life, and none of us has the right to ask others to live according to our ideas, so as a family, of course, we want our family to live happily, don't we? Ling'er knew that her remarks were not appropriate in this era, but she didn't want Min'er to be like those women in this era.

"It seems that our Ling'er has really grown up, and her horizons are broader than that of my sister, and what you said is also reasonable. It's like your brother, although we have been in the news, we just want him to be happy, even if he doesn't come back for the rest of his life, we will be happy. I just don't know how he's doing? Min'er suddenly thought of Zhao Shu, who had not heard from her for many years, and she didn't feel anything about it in the first few years, but now that things at home are on the track, plus the people below can also be on their own, Min'er has plenty of time now, and she misses Ling'er and naturally thinks of her younger brother.

"Sister, don't worry too much, no bad news is good news. How about a contest to guess the lantern fans? Since the situation at home has improved, Min'er began to inquire about Zhao Shu's news everywhere, but unfortunately there has been no news, last year she even begged Feng Niang to write a letter to the shopkeeper of the inn across the country to ask them to help pay attention, but she didn't get the slightest news for more than a year.

"I can't compare to you, so let's count your little head as the best." Min'er is not a masochistic personality, who would compete with a person who never leaves the book every day?

"Girl, you see there are a lot of people in front of you, should we go and see it too?" Qiao'er and Lan Xin have been following them all the time, and the conversation between the two young ladies is naturally clear. Because of the large number of people, they were separated from Zhao He, but they were not very far away. Qiao'er saw that Ling'er didn't succeed in changing the topic, so she immediately helped Ling'er, and the tacit understanding between the two has been greatly improved for a while.

"Of course I'm going to take a look, I'm here to see the excitement today, sister, let's go over and have a look." After Ling'er glanced at Qiao'er appreciatively, she pulled Min'er and walked towards the crowd.

It turned out that someone had set up a platform under a hundred-year-old pine tree, and there was a five-layer shelf on top of the platform, and there were ten lanterns of different shapes on each floor, and under each lantern there was a lucky bag, and inside the lucky bag was the lantern fan. When Ling'er and the others arrived, there were already many people guessing again, and the rules were very simple. The shelf is divided into five layers, as long as you can start from the bottom layer at once, guess one correctly on each floor, and you can get the prize set by the owner. Of course, if you want to guess, you have to pay some money first, and only if you guess three or more at a time there will be a prize, and most of the people gather here just to watch the excitement.

"Girl, I've asked, everyone can only guess once, as long as it's wrong, you can't guess again." Lan Xin reported the results of the inquiry to them.

"How much money does a man pay?" Min'er was most concerned about silver, and the corners of Ling'er's mouth twitched unconsciously.

"A tael of silver." Lan Xin whispered, and just as Min'er was about to make a statement, Ling'er covered her mouth, and hurriedly whispered:

"Sister, don't talk, as long as we don't guess, we won't spend a penny, and it's not about us that people are willing to take the bait." Seeing Min'er's round and angry eyes, Ling'er naturally knew that she would never have anything good to say, and if she wanted to go home smoothly, she couldn't let her say what was in her heart.

"You want to suffocate me?" Min'er glanced at Ling'er angrily, in fact, she didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to tell Ling'er not to spend the wrongful money.

"Hehe, I didn't control the strength in a hurry, hehe." Ling'er saw Min'er's somewhat reddened face, and she was very weak-hearted and smiled.

"It's a dirt bun." A delicate voice thought behind them, these words were obviously provocative, Min'er suddenly entered a fighting state, Ling'er really wanted to slap her forehead and roar, she just wanted to stop watching the excitement at first glance so hard?

Just as she was thinking about it, Min'er spoke.

"Ling'er, did you fart? Why does it stink so much? Min'er said and gently put the handkerchief on her nose, as if it really stinks. Ling'er turned her head and looked at Min'er on the surface, but in fact, she was trying to see the appearance of the speaker, and at this glance, she found out that she was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, and if she didn't have those illegal acne on her face, she could be regarded as a beauty.

"Sister, if you don't wronged me, I won't be so ignorant and indiscriminate on the occasion." Ling'er said coquettishly, and the girl was even more angry when she heard it, and said sharply:

"Where did you come from, you should make a big deal in front of Miss Ben." That imposing appearance made Min'er even more unhappy, but she wouldn't scold her in the street.

"Let's go, if we get bitten by a mad dog, we'll be in trouble." When the girl heard this, she immediately reached out to stop her, and the two girls beside her also surrounded her.

"You want to leave because you messed with Miss Ben? Nothing that easy? ”

"This young lady, are you mistaken? Our sister has never said a word to you, why did she provoke you? The temperament between Min'er's words made everyone on the side secretly admire, I don't know which lady's lady it is, that bearing is extraordinary.

"Hmph, scared now? I'm late to tell you, don't even think about leaving this place if I don't kneel down today to make amends. "That invincible appearance is like a queen, but it's a pity that Ling'er sees that her dress is not much better than herself, and I believe that she has a big background.
