Chapter 168: Viewing the Lantern (2)
Not long after, the Ling family's convoy arrived at the Lamp Market. The carriage was not allowed to enter the light market, so when the carriage was parked, everyone got out of the carriage.
After putting on the hat, Caiyun and Caixia helped Li Xin get out of the carriage, and Ling Feifei, who was in the same car with her, also got out of the carriage with the support of the maid. Ling Feifei is young, and she doesn't need to wear a hat, but she wants to be freer.
Li Xin didn't want to wear it originally, mainly because she had lived in her previous life for so many years, and she had never worn such a thing! The veil used on the hat is very thin, and it will not completely block her vision, but she is a little unaccustomed to it. The long light gauze curtain hung down to the neck, but it hid the face well.
Even if you haven't even entered the light market, you can hear the noisy sound, and it is really lively.
"It's finally time for the Lights Market." Ling Feifei said to Li Xin with a smile. She was not at ease at all, and looked around, her eyes rolling around, as if she was dizzying with everything around her.
Everyone got out of the carriage and gathered together, protected by the guards, and slowly walked towards the light market.
When the people of the Ling family entered the Lamp Market, the first thing they did not do was to walk around, but to go towards a building. The name of the pavilion is "Qiyun Building", in fact, it is just to take its towering meaning, and no matter how tall the building is, it may naturally be Qiyun. And in the capital, the construction of pavilions has to look at the imperial city! No matter how tall you are, you should not build taller than the palace.
In fact, Qiyun Tower is also a four-story pavilion, but it is already high compared to the surrounding buildings. Moreover, Qiyun Building covers a large area, consisting of five four-story houses, and the five pavilions are distributed on both sides of the street, and the corridors are connected. Qiyun Tower is naturally a good place to enjoy the lanterns, so every year, many people rush to set up a private room in it, so as to enjoy the lanterns during the Lantern Festival.
Every year, someone from the Ling family comes out to enjoy the lanterns, so early, Ling Ziye also settled down in Qiyun Tower. The location is on the third floor, although the location on the fourth floor is better, but there are many people competing for it every year, and there are some royal relatives and important ministers of the court will come to decide, so even if the Ling family is rich, they don't dare or dare to compete for the private room on the fourth floor.
However, there are so many people who come to book a place, and it is also very good to be able to book a private room on the third floor.
By the time the people from the Ling family arrived, there were already a lot of people in Qiyun Tower, all of whom had come to enjoy the lanterns. Some people are reluctant to go out and hang out with people, so they like to enjoy the lanterns in the pavilion. There is no one on the first floor admiring the lanterns, after all, there is no difference between being on the first floor and standing on the street outside.
However, there are a lot of tables and chairs on the first floor, and there are still a lot of customers eating. Qiyun Tower provides all kinds of food, and the food made in Qiyun Tower is very famous in the entire capital.
The people of the Ling family entered the Qiyun Building and went directly to the third floor. On the third and fourth floors, there are pavilions on both sides of the street connected by the corridor, at this time, there are a lot of people standing on the corridor, standing on the corridor to enjoy the lanterns, the view is very broad, it is indeed a very good place.
After entering the private room booked by his family, Ling Ziye ordered someone to send a lot of food. Since you have come to Qiyun Tower, you should naturally try the food of Qiyun Tower.
As soon as she entered the private room, Ling Feifei pulled Li Xin to the window to enjoy the lanterns. The streets are full of all kinds of lanterns, which are brilliant and beautiful, like a fairyland of Yaotai. Even though he had already been to the light market in the capital last year, Li Xin would still be shocked by such a scene. The light market in the capital is really beautiful, and people have to be shocked by it.
"Fei Fei, we can only enjoy the lights in the building, can't we go out for a walk?" Ling Wanyu pulled Ling Feifei and asked in a low voice. Although it is also very good to enjoy the lanterns here, Qiyun Tower is relatively high, and you can see the scene far away. However, it's not as fun as being on the street!
"I don't know! However, the eldest brother took us out on the street last year, so we should be able to go out this year! Ling Feifei said with a grin. She also wanted to go out and play, but no one else spoke, and she didn't dare to speak. Although she is not very old, she has known since she was a child that she and her aunt have no right to speak in this family.
So, over time, she doesn't like to talk. The people who make decisions are all made by others, and if they say what they say, others may not be able to listen to it, so it's better not to say it! So, everything is waiting! There's always a result.
"Let's wait!" Li Xin smiled and comforted the two children. How many years of tempered calmness, to be honest, although she also wants to go out for a walk, she doesn't have too much curiosity and excitement. It's naturally good to go out, but she can't go out for a walk, she can only enjoy the lights here early, and she won't feel much regret.
Li Xin said this, and Ling Wanyu and Ling Feifei settled down. Soon, Qi Yunlou's guys sent a lot of melons and fruits and snacks, and the people of the Ling family all came out after dinner, and it wasn't long before they came! Naturally, I can't eat food, so I also have some melon and fruit snacks, which you can eat while eating.
Although I am not hungry, since it is said that the food in Qiyun Tower tastes very good, naturally everyone should taste it a little.
"It's really good, no wonder Qiyun Tower has stood tall for many years." Old Madam Ling tasted a piece of dim sum and said with a smile. The dim sum sent is novel and has a unique taste, and it is really very good, and it can be seen that the people who cook the food are very dedicated. I don't know how many restaurants and restaurants in the capital, and Qiyunlou has always been famous, and it is not easy.
"It's delicious, but it's still not as delicious as my cousin's cooking." Ling Feifei also tasted two pieces, although she was not hungry, but as a child, she was still very excited to see the novel snacks, and she always wanted to taste them.
"What a child! At a young age, he would be so picky. Old Madam Ling pinched Ling Feifei's little face, but there was no meaning to blame, and there was still a smile on her face.
"I'm telling the truth! My cousin's cooking is the best, and no one can compare. ”
"Alright, you! Some of them eat well, and they have learned to pick their mouths! Li Xin also smiled.
"It's not a mouthful. The dim sum here is actually delicious, and I love it too! Ling Feifei said as she took a few pieces of dim sum and put them in her personal purse.
"Well, it's very lively outside, if you young people want to go out, go for a walk! I always stay in the house to watch the lanterns, and I'm afraid I can't sit still. Old Madam Ling smiled. The children have long wanted to come out to play, and it is rare to come out once, so naturally it is not good to always be confined to the children in this house.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, there are also many young ladies from rich families who come out to play, but there is nothing taboo. Just let more people follow and protect you, and nothing will happen if you think about it.
"Grandmother, can we really go outside?" Ling Wanyu was happy, she could finally go out for a walk. Just by looking at it, you can see how lively it is outside, and it must be interesting to be able to go outside.
"Yes, since Grandmother said that you should go shopping, you can go out for a walk. But! It's okay to go out, but be careful. You can't be separated from your brothers, you must be with the people you serve. On days like this, there will still be a lot of traffickers and the like who come out to abduct people. You can go out, but you must not be left alone. Old Madam Ling instructed carefully.
"Grandmother, rest assured! I'll be optimistic about my sisters. Ling Ziye assured.
"Alright, then you guys go out!"
After that, it was to see who was going to go out for a walk, and Mrs. Ling was not in good health, so it was naturally not good to go out and crowd with people, so she didn't go. If Old Madam Ling doesn't go, Master Ling, Big Lady, and Second Lady won't go either. Since these people are gone, it is naturally not easy for a few aunts to go. So, that is, the younger generation went.
The younger generation of people, who are not very old, like to be lively, so they all go. The masters are going to go, and the people who serve them will naturally have to follow, one is to follow the service, and the other is that they can also go out with them, which is naturally very good. In addition to the people who served him closely, Ling Ziye also arranged some guards, so that when they went out, they always had to ensure everyone's safety.
Speaking of which, on such a lively day, there are always some people who want to be opportunistic and will mix in the crowd and kidnap people, so you still have to be careful.
After organizing the people, a group of people went out in a big way.
It's really lively outside, bustling, shoulder to shoulder, and you have to be careful of being hit by someone when you walk on the street. However, with so many guards of the Ling family, and so many maids and servants to serve them, no one would bump into Li Xin and the others. There are also a lot of lanterns along the way, all kinds, which are really dizzying.
"The light market in the capital is really lively!" Ling Wanyu looked surprised. When her father was in office, she also went to the Lamp Market, but that scale is naturally far from being comparable to that in the capital. Even the types of lanterns will not have so many in Beijing, the capital not only has a variety of lanterns, but also lampposts, lighthouses, and lantern towers composed of countless lanterns, which are exquisite, and they are really amazing.
"The light market in the capital is indeed very lively." Li Xin also sighed. No wonder so many people come out to enjoy the lanterns, such a scene, you really won't get tired of watching it no matter how many times! Even though she had been here last year, she still felt that such beauty was indescribable.
In the future, if you have the money in your hand, you should really buy a house in the capital, and if you can, it is also good to buy a few properties. When you have time, the family can also come to live in the capital! R1152
