Chapter 212: Scarlet Cross Chinese New Year's Eve
Another year has arrived, and this is the sixth year since Yang Yi came to Daguang.
In order to make his mother happy, every year he would wear the new clothes his mother sewed for him, and then tell his mother stand-up comedy, sing "Unforgettable Tonight", and always think of Fang to amuse his mother.
However, it was only a year, but it was like a world away.
Looking at the whole Chengzhou Cheng that was getting more and more joyful, Yang Yi decided to hold a small Spring Festival Gala in Su Mansion, so that his sick grandfather could be happy, and he could also go to the recent dull atmosphere of Su Mansion.
said that it was a party, but in fact, it was just dozens of people up and down Su Fan, plus Yang Yi and Monkey Jian'er. In order to be more lively, I had to invite the neighbors who were good friends around me and the tenants under the Su family, and the tenants, but I didn't expect that there would be more than 100 people to make do with it.
A few bonfires were lit in the middle of the main courtyard, a stage was set up in front, and a troupe from the city was invited to pay a lot of money, and a simple party hall was built.
Without equipment, the program naturally cannot be as rich as the evening party that Yang Yi saw in his previous life, but it is also very amazing in ancient times where entertainment activities are very lacking.
Probably the show has a wonderful Taizu Northern Expedition joke by the storyteller in the city, an erhu solo by an old craftsman, a chest broken boulder rehearsed by Yang Yi for Tie Niu and the generals, and the military dance won full applause.
Even Tao Yingying, who stayed in Sufu for the New Year, went up to play a beautiful guzheng solo, and a group of rough men in the audience drooled, but they didn't dare to show it.
The most unexpected thing for Yang Yi is that Monkey Jian'er can really dance monkey play, according to Monkey Jian'er, the origin of their master's kung fu comes from this monkey play, so the people under the door will have both hands.
And when Yang Yi came out with the finale, Uncle Zhao's adapted sketch "Selling Abduction", the atmosphere of the audience reached a climax. Although Yang Yi had already told Tie Niu the answer, and had already rehearsed it two days in advance, Tie Niu, who played Chef Fan, still couldn't tell how many monkeys there were when there was a monkey on the ground and a (seven) monkey riding on a tree.
In the end, Yang Yi asked everyone to sing a song "Unforgettable Tonight" together, and the party ended perfectly, Yang Yi prepared red envelopes and candy for everyone present, and each person received a copy and dispersed.
It can be seen from the smiles on the faces of everyone who left that they will never forget tonight for the rest of their lives.
Yang Yi stood at the gate of the mansion and watched the guests leave, and Tao Yingying didn't know when he walked behind him.
"Thank you, this is the happiest Chinese New Year's Eve I've ever had in my life." Tao Yingying didn't know why she said this to Yang Yi, but she was really happy tonight, or not so much happy, more warm, homely.
Yang Yi looked at Tao Yingying and said with a smile: "Were you very unhappy before?" ”
Tao Yingying unexpectedly didn't mind Yang Yi's temptation, looked up at the fireworks in the sky, and said with a smile: "My life is not too good, I always do something that even I don't want to do, perhaps, this kind of thing is a luxury for me." ”
Yang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and saw Tao Yingying's eyes staring at the night sky flickering with a bit of crystalline, and every burst of fireworks would clearly reflect that delicate face.
Yang Yi secretly shouted that there was a play, and it could be seen that Tao Yingying seemed to be moved at this time, and the psychological defense of women with worries was the weakest, and she might be able to come up with some useful news, so she hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, everyone in my Su Mansion naturally has to be happy, and when we get to the time later, let's go out and set off fireworks together, and they buy a lot of iron bulls." ”
Tao Yingying turned her head to look at Yang Yi, pondered for a moment, and suddenly shook her head and smiled: "No, I'm a little tired and want to rest early." He hesitated for a moment and said: "Although the fireworks are beautiful, they are too dazzling, you better let everyone rest early, the night is dark and cold, don't go out if you have nothing to do." ”
"You..."
Yang Yizheng wanted to continue talking, but suddenly Hu Shou, who climbed onto the roof to enjoy the fireworks, shouted loudly: "Childe! Look over there!! ”
Yang Yi was startled, turned around and looked in the direction that Hu Shou was pointing at, only to see that the sky on the east side of Chengzhou City was red and transparent, and it was even a little ugly.
Yang Yi's heart froze, such a brilliant scene was not at all the brilliance that fireworks could shine.
Sure enough, Hu Shou exclaimed: "The direction of Dongcheng is on fire!" What a big fire!! There was even a bit of a frightened tone when he spoke.
Yang Yi knew that Hu Shou was very calm, and he would never panic if something uncontrollable happened. Without thinking much about it, Yang Yi hurriedly climbed up the ladder to the roof.
When he came to the highest place, Yang Yi raised his eyes and was also startled, but he saw that the flames were raging in the direction of Dongcheng, and the flames flew up several feet high, and the sky and houses were reflected in a large area, even if they were so far away, it seemed that they could feel the heat wave of the monstrous air.
Yang Yi looked at the fireworks that were still being set off around Su Mansion, and couldn't help but worry: "Brother Hu, you and your brother are a little more fortunate tonight, change shifts and be on duty, and remind the people in the mansion to be careful when setting off firecrackers, and don't go out if you're fine." After thinking about it, he added: "Send two brothers to Dongcheng to take a look, although it is far away, let's see what is going on, pay attention to safety." ”
Hu Shou nodded, and went down to the roof to make arrangements.
When Yang Yi came down, Tao Yingying had disappeared, and Monkey Jian'er said that she had gone to rest. Yang Yi secretly said that it was a pity, this little girl's skin was very strange tonight, she could have come up with something useful, but she ran away again.
This night the whole Su Mansion was very peaceful, after the carnival, everyone slept very sweetly, and when Yang Yi woke up and opened his eyes, the sky outside was already bright, and the new year had arrived....
Opening the room, the sober and cold air rushed to his face, Yang Yi stretched his waist to the sky, a new day, a new year, what new people and new things are waiting for him?
"Good morning!"
There is no need to guess who Yang Yi is, only Tao Yingying in the entire Su Mansion will greet him in this way.
Sure enough, as soon as Yang Yi turned his head sideways, he saw Tao Yingying walking towards him with a bowl of porridge.
"Hey... Good morning and auspicious New Year. Yang Yi said with a smile.
Tao Yingying handed the porridge in her hand to Yang Yi and said softly: "Gongzi auspicious, the porridge prepared for you, drink it while it's hot." ”
Yang Yi took the porridge and looked at Tao Yingying with some confusion.
Tao Yingying smiled: "What? Are you afraid that I will poison you? ”
Yang Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course you won't poison me now, but if I get used to drinking your porridge, and one day you suddenly want to poison me, then I can only give me the head." ”
Tao Yingying walked to the courtyard, picked off a peony petal covered with dew, put it on her nose and sniffed it gently, and closed her eyes very enjoyed: "Don't worry, since you said it, if there is really such a day, I will not use this trick." ”
Yang Yi sighed, secretly regretting that she had missed such a good opportunity last night, Tao Yingying had already become the woman who couldn't see through it, and it would be difficult to have a chance again.
When the two returned to the house, Yang Yi had not finished drinking a bowl of porridge, and Hu Shou hurried to the door.
"Childe..." Hu Shou was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Tao Yingying sitting in Yang Yi's room, and her face was a little strange for a while.
Yang Yi naturally knew that Hu Shou wanted to go aside, and he didn't explain, and said, "What's the matter, let's talk about it." ”
Hu Shou straightened his face, then remembered what he was going to say, and said: "Childe, there was an accident in the east of the city last night!" ”
Yang Yi put down the porridge bowl, frowned and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"In the fire last night, the courtyard of the Xu family in the east of the city was burned, and more than 100 members of the Xu family were all buried in the fire!"
Yang Yi was taken aback and wondered: "More than a hundred people died?" Is there such a big fire? …”
Seeing that Yang Yi didn't think of the key point, Hu Shou reminded: "Yes, Wanfu Commercial Bank, Xu family." ”
"Wanfu Commercial Bank ?!!" Yang Yi gasped.
Hu Shou nodded and said, "Xu Song, the head of the Xu family, and his three sons, as well as more than 100 people from the Xu Mansion, all died. ”
"All burned?"
"I don't know for the time being, the government has blocked it, but..." Hu Shou looked up at Yang Yi, and said in a deep voice: "There are more than 100 people in the whole mansion, and there is not a single living mouth..."
None of the three people here are fools, Hu Shou's words have been said very clearly, no matter how fierce the fire is, it is impossible to burn to death more than 100 people in a huge mansion, and the time for the fire last night has not even arrived, and most of them should not have slept and are still keeping the New Year.
Yang Yi seemed to remember something, and turned his head sharply to look at Tao Yingying who was sitting on the side.
Tao Yingying didn't speak, smiled and looked directly at Yang Yi without the slightest fear, and didn't see anything unusual.
Yang Yi said coldly: "Do you know that there was an accident last night? ”
Tao Yingying said with a smile: "What did the son say, Yingying didn't understand a little. ”
Yang Yi stared at Tao Yingying for a while, and then slowly stood up and said to Hu Shou: "Inform Monkey Jian'er and them, let's go to the east of the city to have a look." ”
Hu Shou took the order to leave, Yang Yi was still staring at Tao Yingying, his hands were supported on the table, his body leaned forward to Tao Yingying's distance, and said coldly: "What kind of trick are you guys playing!" ”
Tao Yingying pondered for a moment, raised her head and looked at Yang Yi, as if she wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a long time, she finally shook her head and didn't say a word, looking at Yang Yi's eyes with an indescribable meaning.
Yang Yi raised his chin slightly, and said coldly: "People, if you don't do it, you won't die." ”
After speaking, Yang Yi turned around and left the room quickly, leaving Tao Yingying alone sitting under the table in a daze, no one knew what she was thinking.
If Yang Yi was more careful, he would find that the fragrance of fat powder on Tao Yingying's body today was completely different from yesterday.
