Chapter 402: Lantern Festival (Ask for Subscription!) )
When it was time to settle, the shopkeeper was in a dilemma.
Because Zhang Twelve answered more than 90 riddles correctly, the liquor is more than 90 catties, if it was placed a few days ago, these more than 90 catties of liquor are not a problem at all for "smelling the fragrance", and you can take it out casually!
But with the bad business a few days ago, the spirits couldn't be sold, so Yang Zexin didn't find someone to make the spirits, and now there is not much left, and the remaining inventory has to be drunk by those distinguished guests on the second floor, if it is given to Zhang Twelve, it will not be enough!
"This son, the spirits...... There is not enough stock in the restaurant now......"
"Oh? Smell the fragrance and come to such a big restaurant, can't take out more than 90 catties of spirits? Shopkeeper, you don't want to fool me, don't talk nonsense, don't give me spirits, right? ”
Zhang Twelve raised his eyebrows and said, he had already come up with another trick to pit him in his mind!
"This son...... How so? Our reputation is good when we smell the fragrance, and there are so many people who can testify that the spirits in our restaurant are really not enough, otherwise it will definitely be given to you! ”
The shopkeeper said very "sincerely".
"Oh, that's it......"
Zhang Twelve paused for a moment, and then said: "In that case, then we might as well be like this!" I don't want any more spirits, so give them to me in silver!" Five taels of silver a catty, ninety-five catties is four hundred and seventy-five taels, look at the shopkeeper is also a real person, then the five catties of Xiaosheng don't want it, the shopkeeper give me four hundred and fifty taels. What does the shopkeeper think? ”
"This ......"
All this happened too suddenly, and the impact on the shopkeeper was not small, so the shopkeeper was still a little confused......
I didn't expect that I thought this person was not very good before, but this is still quite authentic!
Thinking so, the shopkeeper took four hundred and fifty taels from the few silver tickets left in the restaurant and handed them to Zhang Twelve.
When the silver ticket arrived, Zhang Twelve's mood was extremely comfortable, he turned around and winked at the girls, and then walked out of the restaurant......
And the shopkeeper has no kung fu to care about Zhang Twelve at the moment, let alone think about whether the silver tickets he gave Zhang Twelve are more or less, because as soon as Zhang Twelve leaves, all the talents in the hall on the first floor are ready to rush to the second floor, Zhang Twelve can give them the ninety-five places to go upstairs, and there are one or two hundred people in the hall on the first floor, so everyone is scrambling, first come, first served......
This can make the shopkeeper busy, and in his spare time, he complained about Zhang Twelve in his heart......
…………
came out of "smelling the fragrance", all the women looked at each other, and they all covered their mouths and laughed.
Today, they can be regarded as having seen the skills of Zhang Twelve, and they can't help but sympathize with the horse shopkeeper: it is too miserable to go against Zhang Twelve......
"It's not interesting to break the poetry meeting, how about we go to the moat to see the lanterns?"
"Okay!"
Zhang Twelve's proposal was immediately supported by Princess Yilan, after all, Princess Yilan said when she left the palace that she wanted to go to see the Lantern Festival.
And Lu Fujing and a few of them have no objections, they have long heard that the lantern festival in Jingzhou is famous far and wide, and the young lady who can meet at the lantern festival will have a good marriage, and then secretly look at Zhang Twelve, and her heart is happy......
Among these people, only the Holy Maiden of Yue Guo didn't understand anything, and her identity was particularly embarrassing, and when she saw Zhang Twelve smiling and interacting with other women, she was slightly dissatisfied in her heart: When I took myself to the street a few days ago, I had a sad face, but now I am smiling happily, is it so uncomfortable to take me?
Zhang Twelve didn't have the time to guess the thoughts of the Holy Maiden of the Yue Kingdom, and after getting the approval of the women, the Holy Maiden of the Yue Kingdom had been automatically ignored by him, and Zhang Twelve took them to the direction of the moat.
The reason why Zhang Twelve left the poetry club and chose to go to the lantern festival was not only because he felt that the poetry meeting was really meaningless, but also because he heard the horse shopkeeper say that King Xiang was also upstairs.
If he met King Xiang upstairs, he wouldn't care, but if King Xiang called out Princess Yilan's name, it wouldn't be good.
There were so many people in the restaurant today, and it was noisy, and if something happened to him, it would be bad, so he decided to take them out......
At this time, the sky was already dark, and a bright moon rose from the east, and the city of Jingzhou seemed to be covered with a layer of silver-white light veil.
The city is full of traffic, full of lanterns, people come and go, like a tide.
Everyone carries a small lantern in their hands, which illuminates the winter night very brightly, like a small moving sun, adding a lot of charm to the night.
Zhang 12 They were walking, heard someone behind shouting to get out of the way, and then saw someone carrying a sedan chair trembling and greeted over, if it was a sedan chair, it would not take up much land, but it was two sedan chairs, and they were neck and neck, you chased me, it was very strange......
Zhang Twelve pulled a few women and hurriedly stood aside, so as not to be hit by this sedan chair, and was still complaining in his heart, which lady is this, in such a crowded environment, she still sits in a sedan chair, she is sick!
While he was thinking, a somewhat familiar woman's voice came out of the sedan chair: "I've been waiting for a year, and I've finally waited for this Lantern Festival!" I'm going to put a few more lanterns today! ”
Hearing this, the woman in the other sedan chair laughed out loud and said with a smile: "How can there be someone like you?" People can only put one lantern, if they are like you, put so much, if it is picked up by several sons at the same time, what should it be? ”
There is a legend in the Lantern Festival, the legend is that as long as the unmarried woman puts down a lantern in the upper reaches of the river, write your wishes, if it is picked up by the affectionate son below, this is the flower god as a matchmaker, a match made in heaven, will be able to grow old together, and the flowers will bloom rich.
And the woman in the sedan chair actually wanted to put a few more lanterns, which was too strong!
"I just want more sons to pick up my lanterns, and I'll have to pick them when the time comes! That Mu Xiangrong can find such a handsome son, why can't I find it in vain! ”
After saying this, the person in the sedan chair poked his head out...... Pig......
Indeed, the image of Bai Qingli in Zhang Twelve's heart is indeed like a pig's head, with thick anus but not high anus, except for the fat, it is all fat!
That's it, why are you embarrassed to pick a man casually? Can't you just open your eyes and see that these four sedan chair bearers are going to die of exhaustion?
This white lightweight self-confidence can be seen......
And the other woman also poked her head out, her jade flour cheeks, her small mouth was slightly red, and her eyes were flowing, but there was a slight sadness.
This woman is Yang Zexin's younger sister, Yang Fumo, who has had a relationship with Zhang Twelve, just looking at it this way, she is not so annoying.
Yang Fumo didn't know what to say to Bai Qingqiao, because the sedan chair had gradually moved away from them, and Zhang Twelve didn't hear it, so he could only look at Bai Qingxiao's swaying sedan chair, and pray silently for those palanquin drivers, don't serve the lord of this tonnage next time, money matters, life is even more important!
The further you go, the more people on the street get up, and everywhere there are lights that are very eye-catching.
When Zhang 12 took the women to the moat, he heard a few "booms", and then the brilliant flowers flew into the sky, and in the explosion, they turned into colorful and dazzling patterns, and people looked at them with their necks, and the sound of cheers was endless.
As far as the eye can see, there are colorful lanterns everywhere, violet and red, competing with each other.
After this sound, it indicates that this year's lantern festival has officially begun......
…………
Mo Yi was rarely on duty today without wearing armor.
If it was put before, at this time, she would inevitably receive the task of going to the Shangyuan Poetry Society to maintain order on the spot, saying that it was to maintain order, but in fact it was to protect the safety of the prince.
How could a dignified general personally do such a trivial thing as maintaining order?
And now that the prince is grounded in the East Palace, Mo Li naturally did not receive any orders, this year, on this day, she finally vacated on the night of the Shangyuan Festival......
But what can you do with it?
It turned out that although she was on duty, she could also go to the restaurant in the name of duty and go to the poetry club to have a look, before she was very disdainful of going there to watch a group of scholars vassals and elegant, dancing and writing, and naturally she didn't want to see it.
But this year, she had the urge to go and see it - he loved to be so lively, surely he would go there too, right? And his poetry talent is still very high, if he goes, tomorrow everyone in Jingzhou will know about him, right?
Then he must be very proud, right?
Thinking of his smug and annoying appearance, Mo Li unconsciously laughed out loud......
What's wrong with me?
Although she wants to go, but she has no reason to go, and she is not on duty, wouldn't a woman who dances with knives and guns every day go to participate in the poetry meeting?
Besides, she went to ...... herself How embarrassing it would be to meet him!
Mo Li, who stayed in the house, didn't know what to do, so she was pulled out by her third aunt and Mo Qingyu, and the destination was naturally the Lantern Festival on fire outside the city!
Most of the people who come to the Lantern Festival are young single men and women, like Mo Li's mother and second aunt, even if they want to go, they will feel very embarrassed.
Although the third aunt is not young, compared to the other two women, she is the youngest, and she has a young mentality, so she can't help but say, she pulled Mo Li and Mo whispered and ran out......
"Li'er, it's not my aunt who said you, your temperament is too cold, if you like it, just say it! Just like my aunt, isn't that how you took down your father back then? ”
Walking on the edge of the moat, the third aunt taught Mo Li seriously.
Seeing Mo Li looking at the lanterns in the river in a daze, the third aunt said with a little hatred: "Oh, that kid we all like it, Li'er, you should take the initiative!" ”
"Who said I liked him anymore!"
When Mo Li heard this, he immediately replied.
"How do you know which kid your aunt is talking about?"
Mo Li's face turned red instantly, fortunately the light at night was weak, otherwise he would have lost the adult.
"Oh, my sister is even shy......"
Mo Qingyu on the side suddenly clapped her hands and smiled, she has always been by Mo Li's side, and she naturally sees Mo Li's changes in her eyes.
Mo Li turned his head and glared at Mo Qingyu fiercely, and said angrily: "If you talk more, believe it or not, I'll beat you!" ”
Mo whispered and stuck out his tongue at Mo Li and ran to the front.
Seeing this scene, the third aunt shook her head helplessly, it seems that there is still a long way to go if you want Mo Li to think about other girls, so let's start tonight, let her experience what kind of life other girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet live!
The third aunt took out the lantern that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it to Mo Li, Mo Li shook her head and didn't take it, because she had heard that if a lantern with a wish was placed in this river, if it was picked up by a single son, it would lead to a marriage!
Mo Li had always believed in fate and those ethereal legends, but now, she was even afraid......
The third aunt saw Mo Li's worries, shook her head helplessly and smiled: "Look at you, you don't admit it on your lips, but you are very honest in your heart!" ”
Mo Li heard a big sigh.
"Auntie knows what you think, you can just put this lantern as an ordinary lamp, and you don't write, you don't leave any notes, who will pick it up? If someone really picks it up and doesn't even have a note, who will know it's your lantern? ”
As he spoke, he stuffed the lantern into Mo Li's hand.
Looking down at the lantern in his hand, Mo Li was full of thoughts.
Walking along the riverbank, looking at the pair of men and women talking and laughing along the river, I don't know if they have known each other for a long time or because of the lanterns, but I feel so happy just looking at them......
Mo Li suddenly thought of the two of them when they walked together, most of the time they were arguing and bickering, right? Or, practicing a form of kung fu called "beating", she is responsible for hitting the person and he is responsible for being beaten......
Thinking about it like this, Mo Li smiled dumbly, he was still quite pitiful...... But who made him speak so badly and behave so cheaply?
Well, it's time to fight......
Seeing some women putting lanterns into the river from time to time, the shyness and joy on their faces when they saw being picked up, Mo Li actually had the urge to try!
After looking around, she looked like a thief, and when she found that the men and women around her were only talking and laughing and no one paid attention to her, Mo Li's heart was moved!
After taking out the lantern in his hand and lighting it with a fire fold, the bean-sized flame danced in the air as if it was alive, light, but never lightly!
She bent down gently, as if she were a treasure, and carefully put the lantern into the river, watching the bean-sized flame slowly flutter along with the gurgling river......
"Li'er, you're finally enlightened!"
The third aunt has been paying attention to Mo Li, although this lantern is not to choose a husband, but for Mo Li, who has a personality like a man, this is a great progress.
Mo Li looked at the lanterns in the river, and said with some disapproval: "Isn't it just a lantern, just put it away......"
