As soon as the year passed, Ah Tao grew another year old.

A twelve-year-old girl, born slim, with red lips and white teeth.

On the second day of the new year, Ah Tao got up early in the morning, and after getting up, she was served by the maid Chunhua and Qiuyue to freshen up.

Ah Tao has always been picky, and she will let the maids prepare the clothes and jewelry she will wear tomorrow the night before, but Ah Tao's temperament is changeable, and on the second day, she feels that she can't do it here, and it is not good there, so it took a long time to put it on.

Ah Tao is drawing such eyebrows, Chunhua is spreading out a dark green Hangzhou silk short jacket, Ah Tao immediately wrinkled his brows and said: "Change it, this short jacket is not good-looking." ”

Chunhua turned around and put the short jacket back in the closet, and took out another garnet red short jacket.

"Miss, do you think this is done?"

Chunhua raised her head and asked, knowing that her young lady was very picky, so she could only wait for her to speak.

Who knew that Ah Tao didn't say anything this time, and after taking a look, he nodded with satisfaction.

Chunhua smiled and put it on for her own young lady, and said while wearing: "These new clothes in the wardrobe are all sent by Jinyun Pavilion, and the young lady has seen the style before, why don't you like it now?" ”

Before Chunhua joked with Qiuyue, saying that her young lady was so picky, and if she married her husband's family in the future, she had to have gold and silver.

Because of the Chinese New Year, the Song Mansion is full of joy, and after Ah Tao has picked up the decorations, he will go to Bibo Courtyard to pay New Year's greetings to the Shen family, and the Shen family has prepared red envelopes and is ready to give them to the younger generations.

When Ah Tao was halfway there, he heard someone calling him, "Cousin." ”

Ah Tao paused, turned around and looked, and saw a dark figure beckoning to him in the snowy expanse, it turned out to be Brother Che, but why did he come to her house early in the morning? You don't need to be so active in New Year's greetings, right?

Ah Tao held a rabbit down glove in her hand and asked, "Why are you the only one?" Aunt and uncle? ”

Brother Che smiled innocently and said, "My father and mother are talking to my uncle and aunt in the living room, and she asked me to go to my grandmother to pay New Year's greetings first, and I knew that I would meet you." ”

But I met it on the road, as for being so happy?

"Well, let's go in and pay New Year's greetings to my grandmother."

After that, the two of them walked into Bibo Courtyard as soon as they arrived.

Shen had just gotten up, and when he saw the two children coming to greet him so early, he suddenly felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Ah Tao, New Year's greetings to grandmother."

"Brother Che has given my grandmother a New Year's greeting."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Shen hurriedly asked the old lady to help the two of them up.

"Come, you two come quickly, grandmother is going to give you a red envelope."

As soon as the two heard that they had taken the red envelope, they hurriedly walked over and nested in Shen's arms and coquettishly, "You are all good, you are all good." ”

As soon as Ah Tao got the red envelope, she couldn't wait to open the red envelope and look at it, and then kissed Shen's face, "Thank you, grandmother, grandmother is so nice!" ”

After getting a rich red envelope, Ah Tao and Brother Che left happily.

"Cousin, today is the Chinese New Year, anyway, my grandmother gave me our red envelopes, why don't we go buy firecrackers and play."

Ah Tao thought about it and thought it was pretty good to play with firecrackers, but she didn't want to go out to buy firecrackers.

"Okay, but I don't want to go out, so you might as well go and buy the firecrackers."

Brother Che nodded happily, "Okay, then I'll buy it, you just wait for me in the house, I'll be back soon." ”

Brother Che didn't know how he got it, he bought a firecracker and didn't come back for a long time, but Qian Xizhou came.

"Are you going out on the Yuan Festival?" Qian Xizhou asked.

Every Shangyuan Festival in previous years, the two of them went to the street, and this time, Ah Tao deliberately said: "I don't know? I have to ask my mother, and if she agrees, I can go out. ”

Ah Tao's temperament, if she really wants to go somewhere, in fact, her mother can stop it, but she has to use her mother as a cover.

Qian Xizhou was not disappointed, but after saying "um", there was no follow-up.

After Qian Xizhou left, Brother Che came back from buying firecrackers, "Well, I bought the firecrackers back." ”

Ah Tao took the firecracker from the couch and said, "Really, why does it take so long to buy a firecracker?" ”

Brother Che gladly accepted her dissatisfaction, and didn't say anything, so the two lit firecrackers and began to set them off.

For a while, the yard began to sound a "crackling" sound.

The next evening, after Ah Tao washed and dressed up, she put on the peach blossom gold head given to her by Qian Xizhou, and Chunhua couldn't stop praising on the side: "Our young lady is getting more and more beautiful." ”

Ah Tao smiled, reached out and pinched Chunhua's little face, she was in a very good mood, and her whole face looked very radiant.

Ah Tao was going to see the lantern festival with his two brothers this time, and the lantern festival from Song Mansion to West Street was about an hour away, and the carriage of Song Mansion drove to the river and stopped.

When you get off the carriage, you can see the bustling crowd, and the bright lanterns will illuminate the lanterns as if it were daytime.

"Miss, it's really lively today, let's go and have a look."

Chunhua, this girl, why is she more anxious than her?

The two brothers said that they were accompanying her to the lantern festival, but they couldn't see anyone when they got out of the carriage.

Under the trellis not far away-

Qian Xizhou looked at the petite figure in the crowd, the corners of his mouth curled, and then strode over.

"Girl, do you want to buy lanterns?"

"Boss, how do you buy this butterfly lantern?" Tao asked.

"Two pennies a piece."

"Cheng, I want this."

"Spring flowers give money."

Ah Tao happily took the lantern in her hand, and was about to leave, when she raised her eyes and saw Qian Xizhou, she called out even more happily: "Cousin Zhou, you are here!" ”

Qian Xizhou nodded expressionlessly.

Ah Tao looked at Qian Xizhou today, and couldn't take his eyes off it, today he was different from usual, today he wore a sky blue round-necked robe...... She thought about it, then looked at the flower shelf not far away, and said, "It's so lively over there, let's go over and have a look." ”

The most exciting thing in the Shangyuan Festival is to put on the lanterns and guess the lantern riddles.

Right now, under this flower shelf, there is a white-haired old man, the lanterns here are exquisite, and they are hanging one by one to reflect each other, which is very good-looking.

On these lanterns, each mentioned the lantern riddle, as long as the lantern riddle is guessed, you can get the corresponding lantern, the more beautiful it is, the more difficult it is to guess the lantern riddle above.

A little girl said to the man next to her, "Brother, I want this lantern." ”

The old man said to the little girl, "Little girl, if you can guess the riddle on it, this lantern will be given to you." How is it? ”
