202, Shangyuan
Shangyuan Festival is the first festival after the Chinese New Year, and it is also the most lively day of the year, because on this day, the female dependents who are locked in the courtyard wall on weekdays can also go out and walk the streets and alleys, enjoy the lanterns and the moon, and go up to the night until the end, and there are more rich and noble families to distribute money and food to the poor people, which is a day for the whole country to celebrate.
On the Shangyuan Festival, the Li family was going to touch Mrs. Han, and it was inconvenient to talk with more people, so he only ordered Xu Jie to go with her, and the rest of the children were entrusted to Xu's second wife Yi's, Yi's cautiously agreed, and An's also entrusted Xu Yuan to Yi's, Yi's saw that the responsibility was heavy, and he was afraid that he would not be able to take care of it alone, so he called Aunt Su to go out together.
The purpose of Li taking Xu Jie away alone is like a mirror in everyone's hearts, Xu Jie secretly glanced at Yi's family, and was a little envious of Xu Jie, although Li didn't wait to see Xu Jie, but the serious matter was not delayed, and although his mother-in-law never treated herself harshly, but she never had every idea in her own marriage, so that she had wasted so many years of youth, recalling the fate of Xu Jie and Han Gongzi, Xu Jie had an idea in her heart, such a good opportunity today, if she can meet a good person, she will not come out in vain.
Xu Shu's eyes couldn't see, and the Yi family took extra care of her, and pulled Xu Shu tightly by her side all the way, for fear that she would lose Xu Shu and not be able to explain to the Li family.
While everyone was choosing around the lanterns, Xu Ji saw that no one noticed her, so she pulled her personal maid and secretly blended into the crowd.
Xu Shu couldn't see it, and the lantern didn't mean anything to her, so she just stood aside and waited, and Yi Shi picked a rabbit lamp for her when she saw this, "You belong to a rabbit, I'll get you a rabbit lamp, so you should have a scene!" ”
Xu Shu took it and brought the rabbit lamp close to him, except for the touch of the slight shaking in his hand, he couldn't feel half a trace of the rabbit lamp in front of his eyes in the pitch black.
Looking at Xu Shu's stunned appearance, Yi sighed in his heart, relieved, but bitter because of his lack of words.
"I obviously got this lamp first!" Xu Wan suddenly screamed unhappily.
Yi Shi hurriedly looked over, and saw that Xu Wan was tightly pulling one corner of a pagoda-style lantern, and the other corner was grabbed by a strange girl.
"What's going on?" Yi stepped forward and asked.
Seeing that Yi Shi was coming, she felt that someone had supported her, Xu Wan pointed to the lantern angrily and said, "She snatched my lamp!" ”
The girl opposite Xu Wan sneered, "Have you paid for this lamp?" I've just given the money! ”
Yi Shi saw that a grain of broken silver was lying in the palm of the vendor on the side before he had time to close it, and the vendor didn't expect that a lamp would cause such a big dispute, so he was in a dilemma with the silver.
Xu Wei defended, "It's not that I don't give money!" I have all this lamp in my hand, waiting for everyone to pick it out and give money together! ”
In line with the principle that harmony is precious, Yi stepped forward to persuade peace, "It's just a lantern, sister, let's buy another one that is exactly the same!" Boss, is there still such a lamp? ”
The vendor shook his head with a wry smile, "The lights on this stall are all unique, and if you sell one, you will lose one!" ”
Hearing this, Xu Wei grabbed the lantern tighter, and looked at Yi pitifully, revealing her desire for the lantern.
Yi Shi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say to the girl, "This girl, do you think this is good?" I'll pay you double the amount of money, and I'll ask the girl to give the lantern to my girl!" ”
"Why!" The girl sneered and glanced up and down at Xu Qiao, "It's your family affair to be spoiled at home, and outsiders don't let her have a reason!" I'm going to order this lantern today! ”
Yi Shi looked at Xu Wan in embarrassment, Xu Wan pursed her lips and said in a muffled voice, "I've been closed at home for more than half a year, and it's hard to come out once, but I can't even buy a favorite lantern, I knew this, it's better not to come out!" ”
Yi Shi looked at the vendor again, "Boss, since you made this lamp, then you can make another one, we won't get in the way later!" ”
The vendor rubbed his hands together, "Madam, you also know that the lanterns are a day's business, and if you do too much, you will smash them in your hands, so you don't have to prepare more materials, it's really ......."
Yi didn't want to argue with anyone, so he could only persuade Xu Qiao, "Sister Xiao'er, look, why don't we give the lamp to this girl?" You see that this street is so long, let's walk forward, maybe we can see more beautiful? ”
Xu Wei's bullish temper suddenly came up, "I don't!" That's what I want! ”
The situation was deadlocked, and the girl on the other side suddenly raised her eyes when she saw this, and she said to the vendor, "You took my money but didn't sell my things, but you looked down on me?" Good! In that case, then no one wants this lamp! ”
The girl's subordinates pulled hard, and the pagoda lamp was instantly torn into two sections, Xu Yao looked at the broken white paper and bamboo strips in her hand in shock, where could she still see the appearance of the pagoda lamp that had just been majestic.
Yi Shi and the small vendor breathed a sigh of relief, it was good if the lantern was destroyed, and if there was no lantern, there would naturally be no dispute.
Xu Wan discarded the broken half of the lantern in her hand with a displeased face, but she really stopped mentioning that she wanted the pagoda lamp.
But the girl did not rest on her laurels, and as soon as she raised her hand, she gathered around a group of servants, pointed at the vendor, and said, "You have smashed all these lamps for me, and dare to look down on me?" I'll give you some color! ”
"Alas...... Alas...... Alas...... "The vendors went to protect the lanterns in a panic, but they couldn't beat the other party's many people, and in a few moments, dozens of lanterns were destroyed, and even the Xu sisters had already picked out the lanterns in their hands and were snatched away and smashed by the servants.
Xu Shu stood on the very edge, the rabbit lamp in her hand was the last to survive, a servant suddenly walked towards Xu Shu, stretched out his hand to grab the lamp in her hand, Xu Shu changed the lamp to the other side of the body, the servant pounced and couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect Xu Shu to dare to resist.
Xu Shu took out a dime of silver from her arms, walked to the vendor who was shrunk in the corner, and gave him the silver, "I bought this rabbit lamp!" ”
The vendor pushed back again and again, not daring to accept the silver, he just suffered this misfortune because he quickly collected the silver that should not be collected, where do you dare to take the silver again!
Xu Shu ignored it and threw the silver at the vendor's feet.
The servant caught up and wanted to grab it again, and said menacingly, "Do you know who my young lady is?" My young lady is the sister-in-law of the eldest princess, you dare to go against the sister of the eldest princess, so bold! ”
"The eldest princess's sister?" Xu Shu suddenly smiled, "Why didn't I hear about the eldest prince's wedding when I went to the palace when I was a year?" ”
Xu Shu's words made the servant dare not act rashly, he was naturally not an ordinary person who could enter the palace, and he couldn't offend casually, he still had this little bit of proportion, and couldn't help but look at his own young lady for help.
The girl who watched the servant destroy the lamp with cold eyebrows suddenly saw Xu Shu standing coldly in the noise, which was particularly eye-catching, touching Xu Shu's eye-covering cloth, and whispered in disbelief, "You are Xu ...... Miss Xu Jiu? ”
