Shen Shixing rushed into the house, who knew that Ye Xiuru immediately frowned and said, "Why are you here, there is nowhere to sit here."

"Finally let me sit down for a while and rest, I'm tired after standing for most of the day." Shen Shile knew that his fiancée was tender.

Shen Peiwei moved to the side funny, and said, "Yuqin go over there, let your brother sit, it's strange and pitiful to see him standing."

"Okay." Shen Yuqin stood up.

The big guys all knew why Shen Shisuo came, and they couldn't help but look at Ye Xiuru with a smile one by one, and saw her snort and turn her face away, "The younger brothers are all well-behaved, but there is no shame that someone has no skin and no face to plunge into the pile of women." ”

Shen Shi blushed unconsciously, knowing that she was deliberately ridiculing herself, the boss in her heart was not interesting, and she couldn't sit or walk.

Seeing this, Shen Peiwen pushed a plate of melon seeds over and said, "Sit down, don't listen to her."

"Okay." Shen Shi immediately sat down and said with a smile: "You just ignore me, you always care about my sisters and sisters."

Ye Xiuru didn't hear it and ignored it.

At this time, the scene of a talented and beautiful woman was sung outside, and the little student dressed as a man babbled and sang: "How tactful the beauty of Qionglou is, I want to plant the white wall in the blue field, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to write under the moon, and who will help pass ......on the red leaf inscription poem."

Shen Shi said without words: "This scholar has no rules, why don't you come to the door to ask for a job in a dignified manner?" It can be seen that he is a disciple. ”

Ye Xiuru, who was on the other side, said to Shen Peiwei when she heard this: "Huh! Why is there a disciple in our house? I just don't leave. ”

Shen Peiwei said funny: "Oh, my good sister-in-law, don't make trouble."

"Phew!" Ye Xiuru glared at her with a blushing face, and said, "Has the fifth child been arranged?" Unlike some uncles, they don't know what they're doing all day long. ”

"Old five?" Shen Shi hurriedly asked the eldest sister in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Shen Peiwen replied: "In the evening, we are going to the city to walk the three bridges, and Yang's fifth brother will follow."

"Can he protect you as a child? Joke. Shen Shi sneered, "I'll personally take the family to escort you in the evening." ”

"That's a good idea." Shen Peiwen said happily.

"Wrap it up on me." Shen Shi leisurely picked up a melon seed, and did not forget to squint his fiancée, and finally showed a smile.

At that moment, Shen Shi perked up and said, "I'll tell you a joke." There is a Xiucai who is about to take the township exam, and in the days before the exam, he can't help but be depressed day and night. So his wife comforted him and said, 'Look at your writing, why is it so difficult, as if I had a child?' ’

Xiucai sighed and said, "Alas, it's easier for you to have a baby every time." ’

The wife didn't understand and asked him, 'How can you see that?' Xiucai replied: 'When you give birth to a child, after all, you have it in your belly, but I don't have it in your belly.' ’”

told such a joke without a head, involving a woman giving birth to a baby, Shen Peiwen and others all laughed.

"I wish my sister-in-law an early birth to a noble son." Shen Yuqin laughed.

The embarrassed Ye Xiuru was not annoyed, nor was she laughing, so she was so angry that she pointed at the initiator, "I also have a joke." There is a showman who prides himself on being talented and good at making pairs. One day, he was watching a play with a friend and saw several women in the private room next door making fun of another woman. My friend said, "I often hear people say that my brother is talented and quick-witted, and my younger brother wants to learn it in person today." ’

Xiucai said, 'I would like to listen to advice.' My friend asked: "A few prodigal hooves north of the wall." ’

Xiucai immediately said: 'There is a big stupid cow in the south of the house. ’”

"Haha." The crowd leaned back and fell back in laughter.

The old lady heard bursts of laughter in the hall, and couldn't help laughing: "Listen, their sisters are even more lively than ours." Send the girls a list of plays and tell them to order a more lively play. ”

The people of the troupe handed over the list to Mrs. Jin who was standing under the hall, and Mrs. Jin had no choice but to enter the room, and when she raised her eyes, she saw that the room was full of young ladies, and she didn't know who to give it to first.

It stands to reason that although Shen Peiwen is the eldest among the girls, they should give the guests first, if it is about the distance of the guests, naturally the first one is the girl of the Ye family who is about to pass the door.

It was Aunt Jin who stepped forward with a smile and handed the list to Ye Xiuru, Ye Xiuru politely courteously let everyone, seeing that they all shook their heads, because they heard what the old lady just said, they ordered a lively "Eight Immortals Across the Sea".

Aunt Jin wasted no time in smiling and said, "The old lady is happy, the girl has to enjoy a few more plays."

Ye Xiuru was helpless, so she ordered two more.

After Aunt Jin came out, she immediately said to the old lady: "The slave family invited Miss Ye to order a play, the girl has always liked to listen to literary operas, but in order to be filial to your old age, I ordered three lively plays in one breath."

"This kid has a heart." The old lady was very happy when she heard this, "You run errands, call your daughters-in-law and wives to the table, and let them all accept your love today." ”

"Oh, thank you, Mrs. Tai." Aunt Jin was happy in her heart, and hurriedly said a thousand blessings.

The old lady smiled and said, "Go to dinner, no one needs to ask me if I'm tired, I know that you are going to the city in the evening to walk the three bridges." I'm not annoying, and I'll rest after a while. ”

As soon as these words came out, the women in the garden immediately became overjoyed, who didn't want to go to the city for a walk?

When the first round of the new year is full moon on the willow tops, in the bustling city of Suzhou, countless women in new clothes appear on the streets, laughing and laughing, shoulder to shoulder, gathered near the canal, a pair of steps up, and hand in hand to go down the bridge......

Shen Kan stood on the head of a bridge with a relaxed expression, his expression freehand, and his hands behind his back. In the distance, Shen Shi was angry and scolded again and again, sweating profusely, and no one was allowed to approach his own girls.

"Ask for your own hardship." Shen Kan chuckled lightly and leisurely raised his head to admire the moon.

The moonlight under the bridge is as bright as water, the cool spring breeze sends the fragrance of fat powder, and the ears are full of soft and pleasant Wu Nong's soft words, which are immersive and feel the traditional festivals of the Ming Dynasty.

Nanhao Caizi and Beihao lanterns, the city gate hole is sinister.

Since the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, the annual Lantern Festival is a traditional festival that Suzhou people attach great importance to.

It is said that there is a fierce general hall in the city, also known as Jixiang Nunnery, which is dedicated to the god of agriculture believed by farmers in Wuzhong. According to legend, the fierce general was originally born in poverty, and he has been abused by his stepmother, provoking the father-son relationship of the fierce general, and his father believed the words of the stepmother and drove the fierce general out of the house.

The fierce general wandered outside, found that the locusts were eating the crops in the field, he drove the locusts to the sea, accidentally fell into the water and drowned, so the people of Suzhou worshipped him as a god.

Legend has it that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the birthday of the fierce general, and the people inside and outside the city will go to the fierce general hall to light a large candle weighing fifty or sixty pounds, praying that there will be no locust plague in the year, and the crops will be abundant.

At this moment, a hundred strong men will carry the idol of the fierce general out of the streets, praying for good weather and rain.

Zigu was a sympathetic concubine, because she was jealous of the eldest woman, she often asked her to go to the toilet to do dirty work. It was also on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month that Zigu was killed by the eldest woman.

After her death, the Emperor of Heaven took pity on her, and because she often did dirty work during her lifetime, he named her the god of toilets.

Suzhou people have always called Zigu God "pit three girls", because it is convenient to go to the toilet called "squatting pit". Tonight, every family has to tie a "purple sedan chair" to pick her up, ask her to manifest her spirit, according to legend, Zigu God's divination is the most spiritual.

Suzhou is the hometown of silk, most of the people will raise silkworms, in order to pray for a good harvest of silkworms, over time Zigu has become a silkworm god.

In ancient times, especially in the years when the Japanese were raging, major cities in the south of the Yangtze River would implement curfews most of the time, and the Lantern Festival was a rare exception, especially for the ladies of the upper class, tonight can be described as their carnival night.

Who can sit idly when they see the moon, and where can they not see the lights?

The government deliberately separates an area separately, and unrelated men are strictly forbidden to enter, and the relevant men must also honestly accompany their female dependents, otherwise they will be taken down immediately and put in prison.

So the small area was crowded in with countless women at once, so many that they couldn't even touch the ground with their feet.

There are many bridges in Suzhou, and women will choose the bridge with the auspicious name, and the auspicious name can eliminate all kinds of diseases. In addition, taking the Dragon Bridge, those who want to get married, the Duozi Bridge, and the hope of giving birth to a noble son early, and so on, are quite interesting.

Not far away in the area of Changmen, is more thousands of empty alleys, the bright lamp market has been famous for hundreds of years, dragon lanterns, phoenix lanterns, lotus lanterns, unicorn lanterns, rabbit lanterns, horse lanterns, etc., in short, there are all kinds of character stories, flowers, plants, fish and insects, birds and animals, mountains and rivers.

Shen Kan didn't forget his task, and from time to time he glanced at Shen Yuqin, who was dressed in red and was extremely eye-catching in the crowd.

All around, there were twenty brocade guards dressed in flying fish suits, holding their hands in front of their chests and holding the terrifying embroidered spring knives in their hands.

They are not only responsible for guarding the safety of the Shen family's daughters, but also protecting the Sun family, the Ye family and many other officials.

Shen Kan said loudly: "On the occasion of this festival, let them have fun."

Ye Xiuru in the crowd raised her head when she heard this, first looked at Shen Kan with a dashing posture under the moon, like a well-planned military advisor in the city, and then looked at Shen Shi, who was busy squeezing around like a headless fly behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

I have to admit that Lao Wu knows how to do things, and everyone knows that he is young but does things safely, not only borrowed Jinyiwei from the Sun family in advance, notified the county government and the government government to send a number of catchers, and also greeted each family in advance, dispatched carriages and horses, formulated routes and travel and return home schedules, and unified command of tonight's trip.

The plan is very thoughtful, even in case someone gets lost, there are people at the gates of the major cities who are responsible for staying behind, even the wharf and so on have sent people, and the snakes in the city have also been dotted one by one.

In contrast, Shen Shi came with someone with him just as his head was hot, and there was no order.

As soon as the brothers compared, they naturally made a judgment.
