Chapter 46: Shangyuan Lantern Festival

After eating the dumplings in the evening, when the gray sky outside gradually darkened, the two soft sedan chairs outside the door of the Li Mansion followed the people, and walked towards the most lively street along the Jinling River.

Lin Qingqing was sitting in a soft sedan chair with jujube red, holding a delicate copper soup woman listening to the sound of chirping and joy coming from the side.

She opened the curtain, and the maid who served her in the house hurriedly came forward, "What do you command, girl?" ”

"I didn't tell you, I just laughed at you, I have a leg injury, and I haven't been out of the yard for a few months, and I don't know where my heart has drifted like you." She laughed.

The maid also smirked, like a silly girl, and said happily: "The girl doesn't know, we are all shipped from remote and poor places to Taihe City to sell, where have we seen any really lively scenes." ”

Lin Qingqing stretched out half a hand from the sedan window and nodded her head, "Then you have to light up your eyes for a while, don't look at it." ”

After speaking, she turned around and opened the other sedan window, and shouted from a distance of a few meters: "Bai Zhiyu, it's not for you to go to court, you are still sitting inside." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, half of her face was as clear as jade suddenly poked out of the royal blue sedan chair, and she spoke with doting anger, "As soon as you come out, you will be restless." ”

Chang Hua stood in the middle of the sedan chair between the two, and when he heard what he said, he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Lin Qingqing's curtain down, "Grandma, it's windy outside, how good it is that you hug the soup woman and warm it inside, you are not sick or sick." ”

Lin Qingqing's dull laughter came out from inside, "Comrade Liubi, you are really getting more and more dad-like!" ”

The most lively places in Taihe City during the Shangyuan Festival are on the banks of the Jinling River, and the water lanterns and Kong Ming lanterns are all there, and the small shops have also temporarily set up stalls there, and there are no people on the street.

The soft sedan chair swayed, the outside room was already dark, about half an hour, the noise was getting closer and closer, as the sedan chair landed slightly vibrating, Chang Hua's voice sounded, "Childe, it's on the riverside, there are many people in front, and the sedan chair can't get in." ”

Bai Zhiyu's faint voice followed, "It's okay, the shops on both sides of the river are the most lively, so let's go down and take a look." ”

Immediately afterwards, the curtain in front of Lin Qingqing was suddenly provoked, and the lights were bright outside, Bai Zhiyu reached in against the light to help her, "Come down, it's lively outside, you like it." ”

She held his hand and just stepped out of the sedan chair, the maid was busy and nervously touched the makeup satin fox stump pleats, and Bai Zhiyu shook and draped it on her shoulder, "The riverside breeze is cool." ”

The red gold and ruby droplet pendant in her ears couldn't take their eyes off the crowd, and a bold maid came from the crowd, "The girl's earrings are so beautiful, and the son heard that it was a treasure from Persia, so he immediately bought it and made a pendant for the girl." ”

Someone also chimed in, "Isn't it, the gems of Persia have always been precious, and I heard that this ruby is still one of the treasures, and only an immortal like a girl can stand it." ”

Her garnet red gold button peony pattern Shu brocade dress and brocade skirt today is also good-looking, but she has lost a little color under the background of the earrings.

She unconsciously reached out and touched her earlobe, and Bai Zhiyu quietly leaned into her ear and smiled: "No matter how good-looking you are, it's not as good-looking as you." ”

Chang Hua left a few maids to answer outside the street, and the remaining four or five followed Bai Zhiyu and Lin Qingqing to the downtown to wait.

Lin Qingqing couldn't help but look disappointed when he saw the few people who stayed, and said with a smile: "It's better for everyone to spread out and play, it's hard to go out of the house, and you have to be satisfied with anything you want to play and buy." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and they all came up to thank them, and scattered, leaving Chang Hua and the maid in the house by her and Bai Zhiyu's side, and the four of them walked towards the most lively place.

The lights are bright, and the most lively part of the Shangyuan Festival is the stalls selling lanterns, many of which are holding hemp ropes in front of them, and there are many colorful lanterns hanging on them.

From a distance, Lin Qingqing saw a rabbit lantern, with a white body, long ears, and red and round eyes. She couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so cute, it's lifelike." ”

Chang Hua immediately went there to buy it and handed it to Bai Zhiyu, and the rabbit lantern was in her hand in a blink of an eye.

She held it in front of her eyes, looked at those red eyes, and couldn't help laughing, "Someone finally bought me a lantern." ”

"If you like it, I'll buy it for you every year." Bai Zhiyu blocked the flow of people for her.

She tilted her head and smiled brightly, "This meaning is different, according to our customs there the lantern is to be sent by my uncle, and I don't need to send it when I am twelve years old, but I didn't want it when I was young, and when I grew up, I wanted it but I was too old." ”

The maid beside her held her wrist and asked, "And then?" ”

She lowered her head and smiled faintly, "My colleague...... It was a friend who gave me an idea, asking me to beg my uncle to send a lantern during the New Year's greeting, and if he refused, I said that I would cut my hair in the first month. There is a saying that cutting your hair in the first month is to kill my uncle, and my uncle has no choice but to follow my wishes. ”

She smiled with a sly face, like a little fox who had to succeed, Bai Zhiyu smiled helplessly, "That friend can be regarded as an embarrassment with you." ”

The rabbit's lantern is cute, not as transparent as the glazed octagonal lamp, the mash rice balls are delicious, it is better to fry the rice balls to satisfy the cravings, so after a while, Chang Hua's hands are full of loot.

He frowned and asked Bai Zhiyu for help, "Childe, the painting boat is already waiting on the riverbank, just waiting for the four of us." ”

Bai Zhiyu hugged Lin Qingqing's shoulder, "Go to the painting boat to rest for a while, there is a stove inside, it is good for your leg injury, and the scenery on both sides of the river is better than here." ”

Lin Qingqing nodded obediently, and he carefully held her arm and walked towards the ferry.

There were a lot of boats parked at the ferry, some of them were anchoring and picking up people, some had just sailed to the shore, and the boatman at the bow of the boat was holding a penny and pushing the stones on the shore, and some of the boats were coming from afar.

Chang Hua jumped onto one of the most delicate painting boats first, and Bai Zhiyu followed closely behind, helping Lin Qingqing onto the boat.

Lin Qingqing opened the heavy quilt curtain, and there were already a room of people sitting inside, everyone was happy to see her, and they all smiled and said: "Girl, you two are here, and the deer tendons are planning to go to the furnace." ”

They were all those brought by the Li Mansion, and she didn't stick to it, she walked straight in and sat on the tuanhua brocade cushion, "You guys come early, you can also eat first." ”

A hearty and honest mother-in-law laughed, "What did the girl say, if you don't come, where do we dare to start, the wine is still warm, the deer tendons are pickled, and we can't eat it raw." ”

The stove in the room was extremely hot, in addition to the stove set up in the middle of the barbecue, there was also one in each of the four corners of the cabin, and such a small space was willing to burn money, Lin Qingqing had a warm smile on his face.

The skinny little girl saw her eyes stop at the stoves, and then coaxed, "Girl, don't look at it, there are still many things that the son has carefully prepared, how can you finish it." ”

She blushed and diverted the topic, "You are like wild monkeys who no one cares about when you leave the house, lawless, and I will never take you out in the future." ”

And the crowd laughed along.
