Chapter 206 Watching the Lantern
At the beginning of noon in the morning, the servants of Murong Hou's Mansion came to see Shang Ruonan and said that they had booked a room for the young ladies of the merchants. Let the merchant ladies go there at night to watch the lights.
The servant gave a room number. Shang Ruonan didn't care where it was, because she didn't know where the room of which restaurant on which street was. But Shang Dongliang, who was also in the study, glanced at the room number, lit up his eyes and said:
"Please thank Master Hou for us! This is the best room! In this room, you can see more than half of the light area. ”
The little guy smiled and didn't speak. He turned around and left.
In this way, the merchant also has a private room, as long as you go to the private room a little earlier to sit and watch the lanterns.
The Lantern Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, is a day when many lights are hung out on the streets, all of which are made of various cloths or paper. Then draw an auspicious picture. There are also some small activities. For example, guessing lantern riddles, such as archery. Jugglers of all kinds will also come here on this day to put out their actions. Just because there are many people who come out to play, so as to attract some business.
Of course, a variety of snacks will also be on the field. That is, a spontaneously formed lantern festival event. But I heard that there will be some large-scale activities organized by the officials in the capital, and they will also let the nobles of the Hou family pay for them.
For Baiyuan, a small county, it is good to have such a park place to play. Originally, Shang Dongliang only planned to take the bigger ones out, but now that there are private rooms, he brought Xiao Qi with him. Mrs. Shang said that she would stay and take care of the two younger ones.
Shang Xianglan didn't go either, because this time she happened to have a menstrual affair, which was not very convenient, and it was the first time, and she was a little uncomfortable. On the pretext, he said that he would stay with his mother.
Shu Yunniang also knew that Xianglan was coming to the moon, so she nodded and agreed.
The merchant went out in two carriages, the youngest Xiaoqi and Xiaowu and Shang Lin followed Shang Dongliang in a carriage, while Shang Nianlan and Ruonan and Xiaoliu sat in another horse painting. The group set off at the end of the deuteronomy.
I originally thought that it was not dark yet, but I was afraid that it had not yet started, but when I came out, in broad daylight, there were many lights hanging out on the street, and there were people and cars on the street. It looks like it's still very lively. Shang Ruonan opened the car window and looked out through a small gap, and found that there were also many young girls walking together on the street.
I really wanted to go down for a walk, but Shang Nianlan stopped me.
Looking at it, there was a horse outside the window, and after looking at it, it was facing a cold smiling face. It was Murong Houye.
He is said to be cold because the flesh on his face has not moved. said that he was laughing, Shang Ruonan saw that he was laughing from his eyes. Seeing that Murong Marquis was also here, Shang Ruonan had to put down the curtains.
The carriage drove into a small alley, and it seemed to stop here, and everyone got out of the carriage. After walking for dozens of meters, I arrived at a small door, and there were already people waiting here, looking at the house number, and letting people in. There are already a lot of people in the business. In addition to the master, there are also a few girls. The gatekeeper looked twice.
When I entered this courtyard, I found that it was very spacious. Then someone came and led them to a second floor, opened a room, and the merchant went in.
After entering, Shang Ruonan's eyes lit up. The design of the house is still good. This is obviously a restaurant, and when you look out of the window here, you can see the lake of the garden that I heard about, and the scenery looks good.
Now the lake is full of people coming and going. In addition to some lights hung on the lake, there are also some small boats. In the middle of the lake there is a slightly larger boat-like boat, also full of lights.
Some of the vendors had already set up their stalls, and some of the children had gone to buy all kinds of lamps. Before it was time to turn on the lights, the lights on the street were lit.
This is to make this street go straight from day to night.
Shang Ruonan's box is very large, and there can be a screen in the middle, so that it can be used to distinguish between men and women, and after a while, Shang Dongliang drove several daughters' families inside. I heard the door outside open again, and I heard my father saluting Hou Ye and Kou Ergongzi.
It seems that there is also Lord Hu and Lord Hu's son. They were all in the outer room. Next, I heard Miss Hu's voice, and sure enough, Hu Lishu also came in. came here and looked around, first gave Shang Nianlan a salute, and then gave Shang Ruonan a salute before asking:
"Sister Merchant, where is Xianglan?"
Shang Nianlan smiled:
"The second sister stayed at home to help her mother take care of Xiao Ba and Xiao Jiu. We brought out the little six and seven. ”
As he spoke, he took the little seventh sister to him:
"Seventh sister, come and give Sister Hu a gift."
"Sister Hu is good. Sister Hu is so beautiful! ”
"Giggles, little seventh sister is good. Little Seventh Sister is more beautiful! ”
Xiao Qimei saluted, and after praising Sister Hu's beauty, she stretched out her hand. Hu Lishu didn't understand what she was going to do, Xiao Qimei waited for a while, didn't wait for anything, turned around and said to Shang Ruonan:
"Fourth sister, Sister Hu doesn't give candy! It's not pretty! ”
"Ha ......"
"Ha ......"
Shang Ruonan couldn't hold back and laughed, and the other sisters also laughed.
Shang Ruonan smiled and explained to Miss Hu:
"She has a good memory, and when I went out, I said: 'If you see a beautiful sister today, you will say that she is so beautiful, and then you will get candy to eat.'" Unexpectedly, she remembered it clearly. ’”
When everyone heard that Shang Ruonan deliberately taught his sister this, they also laughed. Even the people sitting outside the screen heard what was said inside the whole time, and they all laughed. Shang Dongliang smiled bitterly and said:
"This little fourth is always elf and eccentric, and at home, she often makes Xiao Qi stupid to follow her."
Master Hu smiled:
"I'm optimistic about you, the daughter of the little head of the family, this kid has a first-class brain! Extremely smart! Affection. ”
When Master Hu was talking, he also gently glanced at Shang Lin, who was standing beside Shang Dongliang and listening carefully. I didn't bother to look at it, I just glanced at it.
For people like them, just by looking at the appearance of this person or a child, they basically know what this person will be like.
Then he said:
"Is Xiao Qi hungry? Why don't my sister buy you something to eat? ”
"Okay, I'm going to eat the fruit."
"This is the hotel, I have to go out to buy the fruit, you wait a minute, my sister goes out to buy it."
Hearing Shang Ruonan comforting the little seventh sister, Shang Dongliang said in a deep voice:
"Little four, you can't go out, look at the many people outside, your arm is not good yet. You said why I took you through the back door, not wanting others to accidentally bump into you. ”
Murong Hou Ye said:
Ah, yes, I'll ask someone to buy whatever you want to eat. The young master's arm really can't be hurt anymore! ’
