Every year on the night of the beginning of winter, there are all kinds of lantern exhibitions on the side of the Green River, as well as street juggling, which is very lively. If you're lucky, you can also see dozens of lantern boats in the river, and there is nothing new about the boats themselves, the key is that the people on board are eye-catching.

There was once a year in the beginning of winter, and several sons and daughters of Gyeonggi Province officials and eunuchs came to the Green River, and they made generous moves. It is said that several people spent tens of thousands of taels of silver in Lixiangyuan that night, and when they went out, they happened to bump into seven or eight lantern boats slowly parading in the river. One of the sons was interested, so he spent a lot of money to buy one of the lightboats, and the old bustard of Lixiangyuan specially arranged for the top brand of Lixiangyuan to accompany him all the way in order to thank this son-in-law for his previous generosity.

For this reason, that Gongzi brother actually directly rewarded five thousand taels of silver, which made others envious. Since then, every time the lantern exhibition in the beginning of winter, the bustards of the major brothels will send their own top brands to tour the lake, hoping to attract the favor of dignitaries or businessmen. But it's strange to say, every year, all kinds of businessmen or wealthy sons come here to spend a lot of money, without stinginess.

Ye Chen and Lin Yanyan stood on the Cuihe Bridge and enjoyed the scenery on the river, and from time to time someone bumped into them, because there were too many people who came out to enjoy the lanterns tonight. Ye Chen had no choice but to protect Lin Yanyan in front of him, and at this time, he couldn't care whether men and women kissed or not, it was better than Miss Lin being knocked to the ground by other tourists. And Lin Yanyan's thin personal maid seemed to be ignored by these two people, with no sense of existence, she would be squeezed here and there again. But when she saw that her young lady could be so happy with her future uncle, she didn't care about how she was, but her eyes were full of envy.

Ye Chen's original intention when he came out of the small courtyard in the western suburbs was to come and see the brothers of Fenghualou, after all, today is Lidong, although Wang Si and several other brothers of Fenghualou are the people arranged by Qin Xiaoqin of the Inspector Division, but they have really helped him a lot in the past few months. Wang Si once said to Ye Chen in public that although he is a member of the Inspectorate Department, he is now doing things for him, one yard is one yard, and he can carry it himself.

Chen Bing and Wrinkled Tiger took their brothers to wander around the street, and it was indeed a little awkward for a group of old men to watch the lantern show together, but it was better than staring at them at home.

Chen Bing has never entered the city since he was a child, and this is the first time he has gone far away, so this lantern exhibition is also the first time he has seen it in his life. Looking at the colorful lanterns, Chen Bing actually had the urge to buy them, and took the initiative to ask how much a grandmother's rabbit lamp cost.

Wu Youtian behind him smiled: "Yo, Bingzi, are you buying a lamp to play by yourself or giving it away?" ”

Hu Jie also smiled: "Nine times out of ten, I see that there is a girl who has a crush on someone, and I am going to buy a lamp to go to Huohuo's house." ”

Chen Bing turned his head and smiled: "You two are naked jealous that I am handsome, I can't buy it and play by myself without a daughter-in-law!" ”

Wu Youtian said with a smile: "Lao Tian, I think Bingzi really has a goal, look at it, my face turned red when you said it just now." ”

Hu Jie stretched out his head to see that it was indeed the case. Then he smiled and said: "Bingzi, tell you Brother Hu, whose girl is it, Lao Wu and I will go to protect you from the media." ”

Chen Bingbai glanced at them and said, "You two old bachelors, why should you go." My wife hasn't landed yet, and she still wants to protect me. Besides, you two see which matchmaker is not full of children and grandchildren, that is called festive and auspicious. ”

Another man behind him smiled: "Bingzi is right, Lao Tian and Lao Wu are not suitable to be matchmakers, but they can introduce them to a partner." ”

Lao Wu was originally a farmer, but later there were many disasters every year, and the harvest was not good. Fortunately, he had a little work in his hands, and he only joined the army at the suggestion of the village chief, so he was not only shy, but also had not yet married a wife. When his brothers said this, these thirty or so people actually sighed: "Don't say it, this mother-in-law is really empty without a mother-in-law in her heart." ”

Hu Jie quipped: "Even if you have a mother-in-law, you can't say that in the end, you still raise it for others!" ”

The brothers began to talk about their experience in the army so far, and none of them could say how long they would live, and in their opinion, once they went to the battlefield, their lives were not their own.

Chen Bing saw that everyone was full of emotion, and he was also a little touched in his heart. Living with them for so long, everyone's daily life is almost single, either training, eating and sleeping, or going out on tasks. However, these brothers never complained, and they didn't even have any doubts about letting them go to the Blue Dragon Gang to fight less and more, because they were used to it in the army.

They are accustomed to other people's orders, to the fighting on the battlefield, to such a regular and mechanical life, and they even forget that they can still marry and have children, and they can have another way of living. But it is precisely because of the existence of these people that this country will have such a stable and peaceful land for others to do what they have forgotten!

Ye Chen saw Chen Bing and them talking about something by the river, so he walked over with Lin Yanyan.

At this time, Zou Hu also noticed Ye Chen, so he glanced at everyone. Everyone followed his line of sight, blowing hooligan whistles one by one and raising their hands to say hello. However, at this time, Chen Bing was a little cramped and uneasy, and if he looked closely, he was still a little blushing, and he didn't know if it was the rabbit lamp in his hand or if he was really blushing.

Hu Jie, who was behind Chen Bing, noticed Chen Bing's changes, and said suspiciously: "Bingzi, what's wrong with you, what are you blushing about?" ”

When everyone around him heard Hu Jie say this, they all turned their heads to look at Chen Bing's face, and saw that Chen Bing couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and now only he knew whether he was blushing or the rabbit lamp was shining on him.

Ye Chen walked closer and asked curiously, "Why are you looking at Bingzi like this, what's the matter, what's the story?" ”

Lin Yanyan on the side also came up and smiled: "Yes, what's wrong with Chen Bing." Lin Yanyan is a big grinning character, but she will become a little shy when she meets Ye Chen, it is estimated that this is a woman's nature.

Seeing that everyone was coming to ask him, Chen Bing simply took a turn of heart, directly picked up Ye Chen and Lin Yanyan, walked to the maid behind them and said, "Green Leaf, this rabbit lamp will be sent to you." After saying that, he walked to the booth next to him and continued to look at the lights, as if nothing had happened. The maid named Green Leaf stared at her with a look of disbelief.

Not only the green leaves, but even Ye Chen, Lin Yanyan and others were at a loss, is this Chen Bing confessing?
