During the Shangyuan Festival, there are lantern riddle stalls on every street corner.

The stalls are big and small, the riddles are vulgar and elegant, and the color heads are generally not valuable, most of them are small gadgets such as lantern sachets. It's just for fun.

Wei Hongan moved from one riddle stall to another, Chunjiao and Xiao She'er held a lot of colorful heads in their hands, and they almost couldn't get it.

But the two of them were very interested, and they still encouraged Wei Hongan to continue guessing the riddle.

In the crowd was a poor woman in rags, begging, hunched over her waist and stretching out her withered hands, muttering begging to passers-by.

Some people would take out one or two copper plates and throw them at her feet, others would avoid them in disgust, and even more would scold them loudly.

Xiao She'er's heart was the softest, and when she saw that this woman was pitiful, she couldn't help but take out all the copper plates on her body, and there were twenty or thirty of them stuffed into her hands.

The woman was so grateful that she knelt on the ground and was about to kowtow.

Xiao She'er hurriedly helped her and said, "It's just a few copper plates, who hasn't been embarrassed?" ”

"Thank you, girl, thank you. A kind person like you, God will definitely bless you. The woman muttered.

"Don't you have any relatives? Let's go home! Chunjiao said: "If you meet someone who is drunk and unreasonable, it will be bad, and there will be nowhere to reason for beating you." ”

"Girl, thank you for reminding me, but can you ......" The woman looked at the things in Chunjiao and Xiao She'er's hands with a slightly dodgy gaze.

"You want?" Chunjiao raised the things in her hand and asked, "We have a lot of them, you can take which one you want." ”

The woman was very pleased to hear this, and wiped her hand on the hem of her garment. He took a lantern of a jade rabbit from Chunjiao's hand and said, "My youngest son is sick!" Yelling for lanterns. ”

"I'll give you this, I'll give you some copper plates too, buy some food and go back." Chunjiao saw that this woman did not forget to think about her child, and felt that she was very pitiful, so she took out the copper plate she brought on her body and gave it to her.

The woman was moved to tears, and said while thanking her: "My eldest son is lost, and only the younger son is left to rely on each other." We went to many places to look for his brother, but all the money on us was spent, and we had no relatives to turn to, so we had to ask for food while looking for it. ”

When the woman spoke, Wei Hongan couldn't help but look back at her, who would have thought that when this woman saw Hongan, she was first stunned like a wood carving, and then she jumped up and hugged him like crazy and cried: "He Lang! Helang! It's so hard for you to let your mother find it! ”

Wei Hongan was immediately stunned, Chunjiao and Xiao She'er were also startled, relieved themselves and hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the woman and said, "This aunt, you have recognized the wrong person, he is not your son, he is the young master of our house." ”

Who wanted the woman to die and didn't let go, hugged Wei Hongan tightly and cried: "This is my son!" This is the meat that fell from my body! I will never admit my mistake, son, my mother found Jiangnan from Jiangbei, and then looked for you to the capital, I don't know how much suffering I have suffered along the way! What an eye-opener, let me find you! ”

As soon as she cried like this, many people gathered around to see the excitement, and soon surrounded the three layers inside and three layers outside.

Chunjiao and Xiao She'er were so anxious that their eyes were on fire, and they said while pulling the woman: "Hurry up, what does this look like?" This is the young master of our family, you let go quickly! ”

When the onlookers saw this scene, they couldn't help but talk about it.

Just when Chunjiao and Xiao She'er were at a loss, someone squeezed in from the crowd, it was several sisters of the Wei family.

Seeing it, Chunjiao was like seeing a savior, and quickly grabbed Wei Lanshan's sleeve and said, "Second Miss, quickly help us out of the siege." ”

"She must have lost the child and confessed to the wrong person in a trance," Wei Lanshan said, "Just drive her away, just don't hurt her." Speaking of which, he is also a poor man, and he gave her two taels of silver. ”

These words were said not only to everyone, but also to the maids who followed her.

Five or six maids went up together, tore the woman off, and sent her out of the crowd with persuasion.

Wei Laner saw that Wei Hongan's face was not very good-looking, so he hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Don't be afraid, Hongan, that's just a crazy woman." ”

At this time, Wei Yingjue also squeezed in from the crowd, grabbed Wei Hongan and said, "Are you angry? I'll kill her. ”

"Ying Jue, don't mess around!" Wei Lanshan reprimanded him with a straight face: "What is there to worry about with that beggar? What is your identity and what is she?! ”

The onlookers dispersed when they saw that there was no excitement to see, and Wei Lanzhu asked Chunjiao: "Your girl went there, why don't you see her?" ”

Chunjiao was shocked and said, "Our girl Miss Xunyan has gone, and she will be back soon." ”

"Don't let Yining know about what happened just now, so as not to block her and save you from being trained." Wei Lanqi said: "We have booked a private room in the restaurant, and we will have a lantern race and fireworks in a while, so let's all go up." ”

Chunjiao still said gratefully: "Thank you girl for your understanding, I really don't want our girl to know about this." ”

If it weren't for her and Xiao She'er taking pity on the woman and giving her money, they wouldn't have been involved in the rest of the matter.

And now that Wei Hongan has not entered the family tree, it is best not to spread such a thing to the ears of the Wei family, so as not to say it badly.

"Ying'er Yan'er, the two of you go to find the fifth girl, and if you meet Miss Yan, please ask her to go upstairs." Wei Lanshan instructed her two maids: "Go quickly! ”

At one point, the two maids found Wei Yining and Yan Tingzhen and invited them upstairs.

Wei Yining didn't know what happened before, seeing that everyone was smiling upstairs, there was nothing wrong.

"You two are late, and you will be fined three glasses of wine in a while." Wei Lanshan said with a smile: "Don't be afraid if you're drunk, go to my house." ”

Yan Tingzhen walked over with a smile and sat down next to Wei Lanshan. On her right hand is Wei Yining, and Wei Yining's head is Wei Laner.

Dr. Cha and Liquor had already brought a few snacks and candied fruits and put them on the table, and everyone ordered the wine and food, and because the window was open, they looked out through the window.

As soon as the wine and food were served, the fireworks were flourishing outside, and everyone was greedy for the excitement and didn't care about eating and drinking.

It was only until midnight that they were tired and went downstairs to go home.

It's just that walking on the road is still full of people, some drunk, some awake, more lively than during the day.

Yan Tingzhen was accompanied by Yan Kentang to return home, and when she took off her clothes and went to bed, she found that the little clay figure in her sleeve was gone.

I couldn't find it, and I couldn't help but regret it: "It's a pity, it's rare to find a clay figure that looks like a starling." ”
