Chapter 117: Shangyuan Night 1
(Welcome to leave a message, and welcome everyone to join the group to discuss!) )
Back at home, Chen Xiaoting found that he had done something wrong.
Before entering the house, Chen Xiaoyu rushed out with two lamps, followed by Chen Xiaolin who was holding the lamp.
"Big brother, you're back...... This is the lamp that Daddy bought, give you one! Chen Xiaoyu ran out happily.
Looking at the delicate lantern in his sister's hand, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, what kind of things he bought.
"Hey...... Big brother, you also bought the lamp, it's so ugly! Chen Xiaoyu walked up to Chen Xiaoting.
Chen Xiaoting laughed dryly, then put the lamp aside, and said, "I wanted to buy a lamp for you, but who knew that my father had already bought ......"
"Big brother!" Chen Xiaolin was also full of joy at this time, he had also participated in the Lantern Festival two years ago, but he had never spoken to a girl.
Although Chen Xiaolin was only fourteen years old, he also began to think about his life's major events, thinking that he could solve them on Shangyuan Night.
After all, such a thing as an arranged marriage can avoid that no one wants it to happen.
Looking at the delicate lanterns in his hand, coupled with a new set of clothes, Chen Xiaolin was very confident about tonight.
"Come and eat......" Gao Erniang stood at the door with chicken soup, and Chen Dayong was already sitting above the main hall at this time.
Chen Xiaoting and the three of them were walking forward, but they heard Gao Erniang say again: "After eating earlier, you two brothers will go to Qiyuan Bridge, presumably the lantern festival will start soon!" ”
Qiyuan Bridge, located in the middle of the city, has always been the center of the lantern festival, and tonight is the most prosperous and lively place in the city.
Tonight, countless handsome men, talented and beautiful women will gather here to find the lover in their hearts.
Gao Erniang finished speaking, but she heard Chen Xiaolin whisper to Chen Xiaoting: "Big brother, you have to eat less later, there is a good restaurant next to Qiyuan Bridge, where are we going......"
After saying this, Chen Xiaolin also winked at Chen Xiaoting, which made Chen Xiaoting a little crying and laughing.
Chen Xiaoyu saw that the two brothers ignored him, and immediately pouted, so he shouted: "Mother, I also want to go to Qiyuan Bridge to see the lights!" ”
Gao Erniang couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then quipped: "Our Xiaoyu has also grown up, and she also wants to go to Qiyuan Bridge to find her future husband!" ”
These words made Chen Xiaoyu immediately twist up, pull the corner of his clothes and say, "Mother...... No, Xiaomei and Xiaolan are also going, so I'm going to see the excitement! ”
Just when Chen Xiaolin in the courtyard wanted to tease his sister for a few words, he heard Chen Dayong's voice from the main hall: "Okay, don't hurry up to eat, it's too late to miss the hour!" ”
At this time, Chen Xiaoting could only sigh that the old couple was really worried about their son's lifelong event!
Soon the family had dinner, and then the two Chen Xiaoting brothers were kicked out of the house, followed by Chen Xiaoyu, who was full of excitement.
"Big brother, second brother...... Let's go! Chen Xiaoyu pulled Chen Xiaoting with one hand and Chen Xiaolin with the other.
Chen Xiaoting and the two glanced at each other, their eyes full of helplessness.
If you really want to wait to find your other half, wouldn't it be very troublesome to bring a little girl
"Let's go!" Chen Xiaoting said with a smile, the little sister is so happy, he naturally can't be disappointed.
I don't know what Chen Xiaolin thinks, so I just heard him say: "Big brother, it's still early, there is a restaurant next to the Qiyuan Bridge, where can we sit?" ”
Chen Xiaoting walked in front and said, "Have you been there?" ”
Chen Xiaolin nodded and said, "I went to the Yamen a few days ago, and the head catcher had a treat, and it tasted good?" ”
Chen Xiaolin said: "Since you said it is good, then let's go and have a look, it just happens that we haven't eaten enough."
The three brothers and sisters rushed to the Qiyuan Bridge with this lamp, and the Qiyuan Bridge was already very lively, and all kinds of lanterns had been put out.
Even though it's not completely dark yet, the lights are already competing and dazzling.
The lantern festival in the city has always been led by the five major families in the city and organized by the gentry.
But compared to the scale of previous years, this year's lantern festival is slightly inferior.
The reason is that the major families were slaughtered by hundreds of households in Guangde, and their investment in the Lantern Festival was relatively reduced.
When Chen Xiaoting and his entourage arrived near the Qiyuan Bridge, they were still surprised when they saw a dazzling array of lights and crowded people.
In this era, although there is no curfew at night, there are few people on the streets at night, let alone the so-called nightlife.
Chen Xiaoting worked as an errand in 100 households, and he was in action many times at night, but he had never seen the lively scene tonight.
Even if he had seen some lantern festivals on TV in his previous life, the excitement of the performance and the scene full of life and reality in front of him were completely incomparable.
Since this place is called Qiyuan Bridge, there is naturally a river under the bridge, and it is a river with a width of twelve or thirteen meters.
When Chen Xiaoting came to the river, he saw the endless stream of men and women on the bridge, and then he swept his eyes to the river.
On the river on both sides of the bridge, there are five or six large boats at this time, and they are also hung with colorful lanterns, reflecting the river surface in a sparkling light.
There were graceful and suave men on the big boat, and as far as Chen Xiaoting looked, he saw that these people were all holding wine glasses, pointing at the pedestrians on both sides of the strait like masters.
On some boats, those boys and buddies are shaking paper fans in the winter, standing on the side of the boat like immortals, attracting the admiration of many young girls.
Chen Xiaoting's side only heard Chen Xiaolin say: "Xiaoyu, did you see those sons on the ship?" These people are all the children of big families in Beicheng, if you get married, you will not be rich in the future. ”
Hearing this, Chen Xiaoting couldn't help but look back at Chen Xiaoyu, wanting to hear what she had to say.
was said by his second brother, Chen Xiaoyu rarely looked shy, but said: "Those sons are like thin chickens, I want to marry...... Also marry the eldest brother and the second brother like this! ”
Chen Xiaoting is 1.8 meters, Chen Xiaolin is slightly shorter by 2 centimeters, and he is a rare good man in this era, so Chen Xiaolin can successfully enter the government as an errand boy.
Although he was rejected by his little sister, hearing Chen Xiaoyu's praise, Chen Xiaolin was also very useful.
I heard Chen Xiaolin say: "Xiaoyu's words are good, if you want to marry, marry us like this!"
Speaking of this, Chen Xiaolin seemed to think of something, so he said: "Big brother, it's the restaurant behind us, or ...... Shall we go in and sit down? ”
Chen Xiaoting, who was thinking about things, couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, this was the third time the second child said this.
So he looked behind him and saw that a sauce meat restaurant was located here, and it seemed that business was not bad.
After seeing Chen Xiaolin's face full of anticipation, Chen Xiaoting said, "Let's go, go sit down!"
Although he has not bought a house or land now, Chen Xiaoting is still very rich despite these two things, and it is not a problem to invite his younger siblings to eat something.
The three of them entered the shop, found a place by the window and sat down, and the boss came to greet them in person.
After ordering a few plates of sauced meat, he picked it up and put it in his mouth, and after chewing it carefully, Chen Xiaoting felt that the taste was very ordinary.
Just as he was about to ask Chen Xiaolin, he found that his brother's eyes kept looking at the second floor, and his expression was uncertain between anxiety and expectation.
So Chen Xiaoting also looked upstairs, and just as a door on the second floor opened, a beautiful girl came out of it, about thirteen or fourteen years old, carrying a lantern and walking downstairs.
At this time, Chen Xiaolin's eyes also became blurred with the appearance of the girl, looking like a pig brother.
Chen Xiaoting patted Chen Xiaolin on the shoulder, and then said, "Wake up, saliva is about to flow out?"
Chen Xiaolin woke up as soon as he woke up, and his whole person suddenly became a little twisted, and he didn't have the temperament of a good man at all.
"Dad, I'm out playing!" The delicate girl came to the first floor and said to the shopkeeper.
It was difficult for his daughter to go out all year round, so the shopkeeper did not refuse, but after asking his daughter to pay attention to safety, he let him leave.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaoting said: "If you don't keep up, everyone will be gone!"
Being reminded by Chen Xiaoting like this, Chen Xiaolin, who was sitting in place, suddenly got up and left under Chen Xiaoyu's stunned gaze.
