Chapter 167: Lantern Appreciation (1)

After the New Year, it will be the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in a blink of an eye.

The Lantern Festival in the capital is very lively, and before the Lantern Festival, many people around the capital have poured into the capital. Although a large number of people poured into the capital, the capital became even more lively.

Originally, many places have temporarily closed their doors during the New Year, after all, people are also people who open shops, and they also need to rest during the New Year. However, the shops in the capital opened relatively early, and they were almost all opened before the Lantern Festival. Especially in the inn, so many people poured into the capital, so naturally there was a lot of place to live.

So, recently, the business of the Beijing Inn has been very good.

In fact, it was not yet the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Ling Feifei and Ling Wanyu were so excited that they always wanted to go out to play. In fact, the capital has not yet reached the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the lantern market is open for people to go in and play. It's just that it's not yet the official day, and there won't be so many people going to play.

The Ling family wants to go out to enjoy the lanterns, and they always go there on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and they will not go in advance, so the two sisters are excited, and they are just excited, and they can't go out.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, I came to Caixia Pavilion very early in the past two days. When the two came, Li Xin had just had breakfast.

In these days of the Chinese New Year, the Wang family and the second lady always like to go to Songhetang to serve Mrs. Ling, so Li Xin doesn't always go to Songhetang to eat. However, there are not a lot of daily greetings, and I will go to ask for peace early in the morning, and I will also go to see Mrs. Ling in the evening.

"Why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast? Seeing the two coming, Li Xin hurriedly pulled the two to sit down.

"I've already eaten it, it's not that Fei Fei hasn't eaten it yet." Ling Wanyu said with a smile. She eats breakfast at home, because every morning, her mother has to bring her and her brother over to greet her grandmother, so these days the family eats breakfast relatively early. It's a little earlier than in the house here, so when I come, my mother will still be able to serve my grandmother for breakfast.

"But I've just eaten it here, and I've taken it all, but there are some dim sums, if Fei Fei doesn't dislike it, eat some dim sum to pad my stomach!" Li Xin said and asked Caiyun to go to those dim sums and come out. She's never been distracted here, and if she wants to eat, she can let the big kitchen make it. Moreover, she can also use the old lady's small kitchen by the way, and she can make whatever snacks she wants.

When she is free, Li Xin also likes to eat some dim sum, so she always has a lot of dim sum here.

"It's okay, I'll just make do with a bite to eat." Ling Feifei smiled. Soon, Caiyun picked up a lot of snacks and brought them up.

"Cousin, when can we go out and play?" Ling Wanyu asked with a smile. Although she came to the capital, in fact, she has not gone out for a good time, and her mother has always been strict and always does not let her go out to play. It's only during the New Year that I can go to visit relatives with my mother, but that is just to go to my relatives' houses, and you can't wander outside.

Now she just wants to go to the light market to have a look, at least go to the light market, if you want to enjoy the lanterns, she must be able to walk around.

"I don't even count if I say that! Since you are going to go, you must be going with the people in the house. The time must be set by others. If you ask me this, you're asking the wrong person, so it's better to ask Feifei! Li Xin smiled. She really didn't know this, to be honest, she wasn't too free in the Ling family! At least not like she used to be at home, she is in charge of the house, and she can go out whenever she wants, without asking anyone's permission.

However, living in the Ling family is different, in a big family like the Ling family, there are a lot of rules, and it is impossible for the young lady in the house to go out casually.

Thinking about it seriously, sometimes I still feel that the life of a small family is leisurely, and there is no need to have so many rules. Always living in the Ling family, there is a little bit of a feeling of being under the fence, after all, the people around him are not his family, but just relatives. People, they don't feel like much if they live in their own homes, but in a relative's house, after living for a long time, there is always something inexplicable in my heart.

At the end of the day, it's better to live at home. Now, my grandmother's illness has been cured, and her body is gradually getting stronger. It's been the New Year in the Ling family again, and it's almost time for her to ask her grandmother about leaving.

"If you want to go out, it must be the big guys going out together. But it's still just morning! Sister Wanyu is also too anxious, no matter how you say it, it will have to wait until the evening! There's nothing to see when you go out at this time! After all, lanterns are only interesting to see at night. Ling Feifei swallowed a piece of snack and said. Although she herself was anxious to go out to play, she also knew that the time was not enough, and she would definitely not be able to get out, so she forced herself to calm down.

My cousin also said that the lamp market may not be too peaceful, it is better to go out with everyone, and if something happens, someone will protect it!

"I won't be able to go out until evening! Can't you go out during the day? If you're worried about your safety, we can bring some guards! Ling Wanyu still wanted to go out and play. It makes sense to go to the light market at night, in fact, she also wants to go out earlier, and she can also have a good stroll in other parts of the capital. If you go out with the team, you will definitely not be able to run around, and you must obediently follow everyone to enjoy the lanterns.

"Cousin, don't think about it, if you don't go out with everyone, I'm afraid my cousin won't be able to get out. My grandmother and second aunt wouldn't have agreed. Li Xin poured Ling Wanyu's cold water, and the second lady was very strict in disciplining Ling Wanyu. If it weren't for listening to the old lady's words in the Ling family, the second lady wouldn't want Ling Wanyu to go out to play at all. Being able to go to see the lanterns at night is already considered tolerant, and if you want to think about anything else, you definitely can't.

Hearing Li Xin say this, Ling Wanyu stopped talking, she knew her mother's temper. I can let her go out to enjoy the lanterns, I'm afraid it's also for the sake of my grandmother's face! Mother didn't want to let herself go out casually. When my father was in office, my mother didn't like her to hang out very much. However, it is not true that you can't go out, and my mother will still take her to the house of my father's colleagues.

Those ladies always like to put on some kind of flower-viewing banquets and so on, so if you want to go to these banquets, you can always go out.

"In previous years, who went out to enjoy the lanterns? Did grandmothers and uncles and aunts go too? Ling Wanyu asked Ling Feifei again.

"Grandmother doesn't like to go out very much, she almost doesn't go, and my mother hardly goes. My father would go out to meet friends, but he would not go with everyone, sometimes he would go out by himself, and sometimes he would take his two older brothers with him. However, many times the two older brothers will still go with their sisters. Aunts, once in a while, I go. Ling Feifei carefully counted the people who would go out to enjoy the lanterns in previous years.

"That's it!"

It wasn't until after dinner that the Ling family began to organize people to go out to enjoy the lanterns. This year, the old lady's illness has been cured, but she also wants to go out to join in the fun, so it is rare to want to go out for a walk. Old Madam Ling wanted to go out, and the eldest lady and second lady also said they were going. Seeing that his mother was also going, Master Ling was not going to meet his friends, so he went with his family.

I asked the people who were going to go, but the masters of the house were going out. It is a rare thing for so many people in the Ling family to go out to enjoy the lanterns.

Knowing who was going, the servants went to prepare the carriage. The Wang family also asked his subordinates to prepare hats for several young ladies, and several girls in the family have gradually grown up, and it is not good to show their heads casually. There are many young ladies who go out to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival, so it is needless to say that the children in the family are not allowed to go out, and the hat should still be worn.

A few small ones are okay, especially Xixi, who is now engaged, so be more careful.

"Grandmother is going out for a walk, which is a rare thing!" Soon, Ling Ziye walked in. Ling Ziye is here to tell everyone that the carriage outside has been prepared, and everyone can set off.

"What's wrong? Only you young people are allowed to go out to enjoy the lanterns, and my wife can't go yet!" Old Madam Ling glared at Ling Ziye with a smile.

"Grandmother, this is really wronged to death of her grandson, how can a grandson mean this! Grandmother is willing to go, then the lantern festival is afraid to be a little more lively! Ling Ziye smiled and helped the old lady. Everyone walked slowly outside, out of the side door, and the carriage outside was already waiting.

Ling Zihua and Ling Zijia were also already waiting at the door.

After that, the big guys also got into the carriage with their personal maids, so many masters, plus a large group of maids and women, there are really a lot of people and horses. Coupled with so many guards, this group of people looks really spectacular. But if you really get to the light market, these people are nothing.

The liveliness of the Beijing Lantern Market, Li Xin has also seen it, the bustling and side-by-side feeling, there are more people than lanterns.

Along the way, Caiyun was very excited, and would always gently lift up a small slit of the curtain and quietly look outside. Li Xin saw it, but he just smiled and didn't say anything. In the house, the masters are not free, and the servants are even less free, so it is naturally not easy to come out. Therefore, it is normal for Caiyun to be more curious about the outside environment.

"You! I'll see it later! Why can't you wait! Caixia gently poked Caiyun's forehead.

"It's very lively outside! This is a scene that you can't see in the house. Aren't you curious! ”R1152
