Chapter 461
This year's Mid-Autumn Festival was due to the big banquet held in the palace, and Chen's body was not fully recovered, so several families did not make an appointment to watch the lanterns in Xiangmanlou as in previous years.
However, no matter how big the palace banquet is, it doesn't have much to do with young people, even Lin Hongfei, who has been in the officialdom for three years, has not reached the level of participating in this kind of palace banquet, so the younger generation still makes an appointment to go to Taiping Street to watch the lanterns as in previous years.
Because An Huijuan was pregnant with a child and had a big reaction during pregnancy, Lin Hongfei didn't plan to go out, but just wanted to stay in the house to accompany An Huijuan.
It's just that Xiao An'an learned that his aunt and uncle and even Lin Ye, who was only two years older than him, had to go out to see the lanterns, so he had to go to see the lanterns together when he was noisy.
Xiao An'an is the most active age, don't look at listening to Lin Wan on weekdays, but on such a lively occasion today, Lin Wan didn't dare to take it to catch up with the excitement of Taiping Street.
Seeing that the time of the meeting was approaching, Xiao An'an hugged Lin Wan's leg tightly and didn't let go, making everyone cry and laugh, and finally Luo Shi spoke, Lin Hongfei had to pick up Xiao An'an, who was a scoundrel, with a slight annoyance, gently patted Xiao An'an's fat little buttocks, and said a word to An Huijuan, who was looking at everyone with a smile, with an apologetic face, and then went to Taiping Street with his brothers and sisters to catch up with the excitement.
Although there are no elders watching the lanterns together this time, in order to facilitate everyone to have a place to stay, there is still a private room with a good location on the third floor of Xiangmanlou.
Because of Xiao An'an, when the brothers and sisters of Zhennan Houfu arrived at Xiangmanlou, the three brothers of the Ye family, Mao Yanxia and Mao Yingjun and his wife had already sat in the private room and waited for them for a while.
Xiangmanlou is an industry under the name of the second room of Zhennan Hou Mansion, and the most important thing is wine.
Lin Wan glanced at Ye Zhan, who had the loudest voice, and then at Mao Yanxia, who was following Ye Zhan excitedly, and said with a smile: "It's not impossible for Second Brother Zhan to really punish my second brother for drinking, but you have to take over the task of taking care of Xiao An'an first." ”
Hearing that he had to take care of Xiao An'an throughout the whole process, Ye Zhan suddenly wilted, and Mao Yanxia was also instigated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Don't look at Xiao An'an's always well-behaved face in front of people, people who are familiar with him know that he is naughty and active, and they know that all kinds of helplessness is a person who is crazy, today's Taiping Street is bustling with people, Xiao An'an has already been a little unable to hold back and is ready to move.
Except for Lin Hongfei, who is a father, who can suppress this kid?
Besides, the elders are not here today, and they still want to break away from the army and act alone.
If they take Xiao An'an with them, how can they act alone?
However, even if Ye Zhan entered the officialdom, he was still the one who was a little wilted, no, if he couldn't drink alcohol, he would replace it with tea, and he forced the brothers in Zhennanhou Mansion to accompany Lin Hongfei to drink a full cup of tea.
Just let everyone drink tea, Lin Wan won't stop her, everyone ate a little greasy at the family banquet just before coming out, and drinking a cup of tea is just to relieve the greasy.
After some commotion, it was time for the lights to shine, and Lin Ye and Xiao Anan were excitedly lying on the windowsill clapping their hands and cheering.
Lin Ye is almost six years old, but he has some memories of such a scene of lanterns, but Xiao An'an is not yet old enough to remember it for a long time, that is, he forgets it after watching it for a long time, and when he sees it next time, it will be a new feeling, and he is naturally more excited than anyone else.
After the lights are on, Taiping Street is even more crowded and lively.
Although the view of the lights in this private room is excellent, it still can't stop Xiao An'an's determination to go to the street to play.
Of course, it is not only Xiao An'an who wants to go to the street to watch the lanterns up close, but Lin Ye, who is being watched by Lin Hongxuan, is also eager to try.
Lin Hongxuan's own child is still young, so it is naturally impossible to come out with him.
Originally, Lin Hongxuan took advantage of this rare opportunity to accompany his wife, but unexpectedly, the Tang family gave Lin Ye to him.
This is also something that can't be helped, every festival, Lin Wenjie and Lin Hongyun, the father and son, either stay in the Xishan camp or patrol the city, Lin Hongyun naturally can't take care of Lin Ye.
Fortunately, Lin Ye is calmer than Xiao An'an, and now he is six years old, so he is more sensible than Xiao An'an, and naturally he is better to lead.
Everyone walked out one after another, but Lin Wan sat still, although Ye Shen said that as everyone stood up, seeing that Lin Wan didn't move, naturally he didn't go out with everyone, the meaning was obvious, where Lin Wan was, he would be there.
"Wanwan, aren't you going to guess riddles on the street?" Lin Jing, who had already walked to the door, finally found that Lin Wan had not followed, stopped and looked back at Lin Wan, who was still sitting upright, and asked with some surprise.
Lin Wan shook her head: "Watching the lanterns and guessing riddles every year, the lanterns are always so many tricks, and even the lantern riddles have not changed, so I really feel a little boring." The streets are crowded with people, so it is better to sit quietly and watch the lights. ”
Lin Jing rolled her eyes at Lin Wan, raised her chin to Ye Shen meaningfully, turned to Lin Shu, who was pulling her side, and walked out, complaining about Lin Wan: "Our third sister's ideas are always so different, and they are really elegant!" Let's hurry away from this elegant man! Go to the street to see our liveliness, and be our layman. ”
Lin Hongfei, who had been pulled out of the private room by the eager Xiao An'an, glanced back at Lin Wan and didn't say anything, then bent down and picked up Xiao An'an, and went downstairs with everyone, but the glance that he threw at Ye Shen before turning downstairs was full of warning.
Soon only Lin Wan and Ye Shen were left in the private room, and even the maids and servants who followed them out today were blasted out by the two and asked them to go to see the lights.
However, Chuncao insisted on staying outside the private room, and she couldn't let her girl have a chance to be talked about.
Even if she knew that Lin Wan had always been restrained, subtle and steady, but in Ye Shen's heart, Lin Wan was still a little girl, how could there be a little girl who didn't like to go to the street to see the lights, so she looked at Lin Wan with a smile and said, "Wanwan really doesn't plan to go shopping on the street?" ”
Lin Wan nodded, pointed to the chair beside her and motioned for Ye Shen to sit down: "Brother doesn't know, although Wanwan also likes to be lively, she doesn't like the feeling of crowding. Besides, sitting quietly in front of the window and watching the lights has its own fun. From here, looking at it from afar, Taiping Avenue is like a long dragon entrenched in the capital. My brother might as well close his eyes and listen to the voices outside the window, he should feel more. ”
With Lin Wan's voice, Ye Shen either looked out the window with his eyes, or closed his eyes and listened to the excitement outside, and he really had a different feeling.
It's just that in Ye Shen's opinion, such a realization should not appear on Lin Wan at a young age.
If he is not a human being in two lives, he is afraid that it will be difficult to have his current perception at this age, so why does Lin Wan have such an understanding at such a young age?
Ye Shen had already tested Lin Wan quietly a few years ago, and had already determined that Lin Wan was not the same person as himself.
So it was logical to attribute all the irrational situations that happened to Lin Wan to Lin Wan's experience when she was a child, and she felt more pity for Lin Wan in her heart.
