Chapter 243: Lanterns
"This year is the last year of Zhao County's tenure, if you don't do a lively scene, how can it be attractive! If it is not attractive, how can it boost Suizhou's economy? Tang Chu said with a smile, although he was wearing a mask, he still couldn't stop the temperament and conversation around him.
"This young lady is really smart!" Someone next to him complimented.
The master and servant turned their heads and saw a handsome boy wearing a mask shaking a folding fan looking at them.
Tang Chu smiled slightly, and did not follow the words of the son, but nodded and walked forward.
The figures of the two girls in the distance are graceful, and the young man can't help but look stupid!
He folded the fan suddenly, and muttered, "Which lady is this, wonderful!" ”
There was a merchant nearby who knew Tang Chu, and even if he was wearing a mask, he could hear the voice, and while selling goods, he said to the young man, "This master, you can die of this heart!" The girl's surname just now is Tang Ming, and she is the eldest lady of the Tang family, a wealthy merchant in Suizhou City. ”
"Oh? Since it's a business, what's the big problem, and my young master is not without money, so he doesn't deserve her! The little guy on the side was not happy when he heard the vendor's words.
What is called a dead heart, their son-in-law is a person in the flowers, and he is ruthless, how many noble ladies are pestering his son-in-law, scrambling to marry him, how come this trader has a little bit of his son-in-law who is not worthy of this Tang family's young lady!
"This little brother, it's not that I'm talking nonsense, it's just that the young lady of the Tang family just now is very famous in our Suizhou, if you knew about her, you would definitely not think like this." The vendor said eloquently.
This young man is really a foreigner, the son of an official in Yunzhou, and this time he went to Suizhou to see the excitement and see the customs here.
After listening to the vendor's answer, the young man and the little girl glanced at each other, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what interesting things about this Miss Tang family?" Please tell me about this little brother! ”
The vendor smiled, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said to the young man, "Childe, this is not a coincidence, I still have a voice!" ”
The vendor is a seller of sugar gourds, holding dozens of strings of sugar gourds at this time, from time to time there can be the greedy child to come to buy, but because today is a temple fair, people from ten miles and eight villages, but everyone with a little skill has come out to do business, on this street, there are six or seven people selling sugar gourds, so the business of the vendors is not hot.
"In this way, I will buy you ten strings of sugar gourds, and you will tell me everything you know about this Tang family lady." The young man ordered the servant to take out a purse, revealing a silver ingot, or half a tael.
The vendor's eyes lit up at that time, and he could get so much money in exchange for a few words, and this trade was not ordinarily suitable.
So, the merchant happily told the young man what he knew, in fact, he didn't know much, most of them were the few things that were passed on by the people in the city to punish evil slaves, the lawsuit with the Zheng family, and today's opening, but the young man listened to it with relish.
"So this Miss Tang is not only as beautiful as a flower, but also wealthy and shrewd and capable!" When the young man heard this, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
The vendor didn't expect that this boy would not be deterred by Miss Tang's strength and boldness after hearing this, and he could even praise the other party, but that's right, when it comes to being beautiful like a flower, having a wealthy family background, and being shrewd and capable, Miss Tang is definitely touched, but how many men can control her!
The little guy is similar to what the trader thinks, and he also advises his son-in-law, "Young master, otherwise let's go to Chunfeng Building for a walk, the girls there are beautiful and gentle, you can have whatever you want, this Miss Tang is really powerful, even Zhang Gongzi can't be right, I'm afraid we ......"
Before he finished speaking, he was scolded by the young man, "I'm afraid of what, your young master, what have I been afraid of since I was a child, like this kind of thorny rose is the most charming, and conquering her is also your young master's ability." ”
The little guy looked worried, and the young man smiled again, "Let's go, let's go see the excitement first, and then we'll meet this Miss Tang." ”
Looking at the excitement on the young man's face, the little guy knew that his desire to conquer had begun again, but this Miss Tang family was obviously not easy to mess with.
In the same Yunzhou, the little guy and this son know Zhang Zhiyu, although everyone is not in the same circle, one is the child of a bureaucrat, and the other is a child of a rich family, but they have also seen Liao Liao lose faces, and they can call each other by name.
Speaking of this Yunzhou city, the circle of the children of the bureaucrats and the circle of the children of the rich businessmen have little intersection, compared with the collusion between the officials and businessmen in other state capitals, the government and the local rich businessmen still have some disputes in terms of seeking benefits, so when the young man heard that Zhang Zhiyu was beaten and forced to pay back, he was even more interested in this Tang family lady.
After listening to the merchant's story, the two men gave the money and left.
There are more and more people on the street, and everyone wears the good clothes that they are reluctant to wear on weekdays, all to welcome the joy of the temple fair.
Today is not only a day to pray for good weather next year, but also a day for young boys and girls to go on blind dates or confess their hearts.
Many daughters' families have bought lanterns from vendors, lit candles and placed them in the river, and as the river flows away, they may have placed infinite love on the girls.
"Brother, what a beautiful lantern, let's buy one too!" Zou Shichu's two hands were held by Zou Shiyan Wang Chuan, one left and one right, and saw that there were people selling lanterns not far away, which looked very good, some were flower-like, and some were small animals.
Zou Shichu shook off the hands of the two of them and hurriedly ran forward, looking like a child who had not grown up, although he pretended to be mature on weekdays, he was still a child at heart.
Zou Shichu smiled, but his pace followed closely Zou Shichu.
There are surprisingly many people today, and it cannot be ruled out that there will be traffickers, especially children like Zou Shichu, who are white, tender and well-behaved and cute, and are the most likely to be taken away.
Zou Shiyan looked leisurely, but his eyes were staring at Zou Shichu's every move.
"Brother, look good!" Zou Shichu touched it, but didn't say he wanted to buy it.
Then he led Zou Shiyan and wanted to leave.
Although he is young, he also knows that his brother is the only one in the family who earns money, and he is a drag on his brother, since he can't do it without spending money, then he can only save money for his brother.
This lantern is really beautiful! Zou Shichu thought in his heart, he wanted to buy one more and put it in the river, and make a few wishes!
Zou Shiyan looked at the love and reluctance in his younger brother's eyes, and without saying a word, he picked up a lantern that Zou Shichu had been staring at for a long time just now and said to the vendor, "Little brother, how much is this?" ”
