023 Tanhua Lane

Cheng Shuang took a few sisters of the Zhu family to meet Mrs. Cheng, Governor Cheng has no concubine, Mrs. Cheng is older than Mrs. Zhu, and her appearance looks a little serious, but after seeing the sisters of the Zhu family, she also praised it, but she just looked at Zhu Mingyu a few more times.

Mrs. Cheng seems to have a special preference for Cheng Sa, Cheng Sa took the meeting gift given to her by the Zhu sisters as if she was offering a treasure to Mrs. Cheng, although Mrs. Cheng laughed at her for being shallow-eyed, but it could be seen that she didn't really want to teach her a lesson.

When a few people were laughing at Mrs. Cheng's place, there was a maid outside who reported that the third young master and the fourth young master were coming, and before Mrs. Cheng could say anything, they saw two teenagers come in wrapped in wind and snow.

The two took off their cloaks outside, revealing two identical faces, about the same age as Zhu Mingxiu, but their appearance was much better than Cheng Shuang. The colors of the clothes inside them are different, one wears cyan, and the other wears dark red, but the material and style of the clothes are the same, they stand side by side in front of Mrs. Cheng, and greet her in a proper manner.

Cheng Shuang whispered to Zhu Mingyu: "My two younger brothers, I like to let my grandmother guess which of the two of them is the elder brother and who is the younger brother." ”

If you want to say that the most favored girl in the Cheng family is Cheng Sa, then the grandson who is most loved by Mrs. Cheng is Cheng Minshan and Cheng Minshi, the twins.

Sure enough, Old Madam Cheng looked at the two of them with great interest, and pointed to the one wearing cyan and said, "You are Minshan, and that is Minshi." ”

The young man in Tsing Yi smiled and didn't speak, and the young man in red smiled and approached Mrs. Cheng and said, "Grandmother guessed wrong again, I am Minshan." ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, scolded him for always messing around, and asked him to meet the sisters.

Cheng Minshan was amazed when he saw Zhu Mingxiu, and the sister who called at Zhu Mingxiu also smiled more than when she called others, and stared at her for a longer time, and Zhu Mingxiu's face turned red when she saw it, so she could only bow her head to hide it.

No, Cheng Minshi was different from his fellow brothers, and after Cheng Minshan revealed the mystery, he stood quietly aside, and let him salute in a proper manner and not look at it randomly. Looking at his appearance at this time, it is easy to separate from Cheng Minshan with a hippie smile, but it is clear that when the two of them came in just now, their smiles and demeanor were very consistent, which made Zhu Mingyu feel in his heart that these twins are really smart.

"Are you going to Mochizuki Tower today?" Although Cheng Minshan asked everyone, his eyes were looking at Zhu Mingxiu.

Zhu Mingxiu knew that he was looking at himself, on the one hand, he was a little proud and proud, on the other hand, as a lady, she still cared about the rules and upbringing, and she was a little frivolous, so she could only bow her head and pretend not to see it.

Zhu Mingyu saw that Cheng Minshan was about the same age as Zhu Mingyao, but his eyes were too direct, so he blocked Zhu Mingxiu with some displeasure.

Cheng Sa asked, "Third brother, don't you know that we are all going?" ”

Cheng Shuang saw Zhu Mingxiu's embarrassment and Zhu Mingyu's displeasure, and said with a straight face: "I don't think he wants to go." ”

Cheng Shuang has always been majestic to his younger brother, where did Cheng Minshan dare to refute, he just stuck out his tongue and stopped talking, but Cheng Minshi looked at his sister and brother, and some young and old sighed.

After that, Cheng Shuang took the four members of the Zhu family to retire first. After going out, he found that it was snowing again, Zhu Mingyao touched Zhu Mingxiu with his elbow, and said in a low voice: "I see that Third Young Master Cheng seems to have seen ......"

Seeing Cheng Shuang frowning, Zhu Mingyu interrupted her words first and called out to the fourth sister.

Although Zhu Mingyu didn't say anything, the warning in her words was very strong, Zhu Mingyao couldn't understand it, it turned out that the eldest sister supported or acquiesced to her to provoke the second sister......

Zhu Mingyao was a little unsure of Zhu Mingyu's attitude towards Zhu Mingxiu for a while, so she bowed her head and responded, but she didn't dare to tease Zhu Mingxiu again.

There is another person who can't understand Zhu Mingyu anymore, and that is Zhu Mingxiu, from the house to just now, she seems to have been protecting herself......

This is a situation that Zhu Mingxiu has never encountered after knowing Zhu Mingyu for so long.

The only one who understands Zhu Mingyu is probably Zhu Mingcan, and the fourth sister is really, is this kind of nonsense, fortunately, the eldest sister didn't let her finish, otherwise the Zhu family's face would be lost. , but the eldest sister seems to have become very different recently.

Cheng Shuang and Zhu Mingyu walked in front and chatted about other things, but she secretly wrote down in her heart that she would discipline her younger brother who was not polite when she went back.

Mrs. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng were busy preparing for the evening, Cheng Shuang's sister-in-law and sister-in-law also followed to help, and Zhu Mingyu came out without staying long after they went to visit.

Because it was still winter, it was dark early, Cheng Shuang had already booked a table to take them out to eat, and after eating, it was just right to go to the Lantern Festival and then go to the Moon Tower to watch the fireworks. The snow is a little lighter now, but there is already snow on the road.

When Cheng Shuang instructed people to prepare, Zhu Mingyu first went out to see Kong Jiayi, who had been locked in the car for a long time, the rope on Kong Jiayi's body had been untied, and the handkerchief had been taken out, but he had long since lost the spirit of the afternoon, and he was sitting in the car a little sluggish, looking at the wall of the car, not knowing what he was thinking.

Mu Xiang saw Zhu Mingyu coming, so he said, "Because Miss Cousin wants to drink water, the slave maid ......."

"It's okay, you're doing well." Zhu Mingyu didn't think that Mu Xiang had anything to do with the first cut and then the play, but I don't know how she made Kong Jiayi obedient?

"We're going to go out to eat, and then we're going to Mochiyue Tower, I'll say you're just here, don't go out of the way." Zhu Mingyu said to Mu Xiang again, "Clean up for Miss Biao." ”

Mu Xiang said yes, this time Kong Jiayi was really honest, and asked Mu Xiang to sort out her clothes and hair for her without saying a word. Until Zhu Mingyu and the others came out again, Kong Jiayi didn't make any more trouble, honestly greeted Cheng Shuang and them, and went with them.

The lantern festival in the bleak city has always been very lively, especially the Tanhua Lane, which is the main road for lanterns. The origin of Tanhua Lane is also very interesting, according to legend, there was a rich boy who tried and failed in the previous dynasty, and threatened to promise him one thing if someone could get into the top three. And a poor family who burns charcoal for a living heard about this and went to the rich son, his wish was not simple, but to let the son fund to improve the charcoal alley where he grew up in life, because he could study thanks to the kind neighbors to help him, and the son agreed.

Later, when the boy was eighteen years old, he returned from Tanhua, and Childe kept his promise and rebuilt the original dilapidated alley into a clean and tidy road. Childe felt that the young man was not short in ambition and was young and promising, and persuaded his father to marry his sister to him. Childe's sister was originally a willful young lady, how could she tolerate her marrying a person from a charcoal background. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Childe took her out and came to this street, which was full of neighbors who used to sell charcoal in the alley. Men, women, and children each carried a lantern of various shapes, which lit up the street, while the boy walked towards them with a lantern.

The lanterns that the boy gave to the young lady are not the same as the ones usually sold, and the horses painted inside will move, and the young lady feels the young man's intentions and agrees to this family business. Since then, the alley has been renamed Tanhua Alley, and a large marquee more than one person tall is placed at the entrance of the alley every year.

Zhu Mingyu has always been very interested in these rumors, and when she arrived at the mouth of the alley, she looked at the big lantern and thought that if she was in her previous life, she must take a photo with it.
