Chapter 158
In the distant city of Yangzhou, the Lantern Festival night is very lively. [No pop-ups. 】
In the rear office of the Yanyun Mansion, Zhou Hong accompanied Mrs. Zhou to finish eating, said goodbye to his mother and sister after a few words, and took Ye Zhiqing to see the lights.
Zhou Qi was also looking forward to the Lantern Festival, peeking at her mother's face, and after Zhou Hong left, she went to grind her: "Mother, why don't we go and see the Yangzhou Lantern Festival." It is said that Yangzhou City is different from Mingzhou, every year on the Lantern Festival West Lake, there are painted boats and lanterns, and many people on the shore go to watch the lanterns. It's not much fun for us to be bored in the backyard, so why don't we go and have fun? ”
At the beginning of the new year, many officials and relatives in Yangzhou City have handed over a post to Mrs. Zhou, although she and her son are married to each other, but always want to pave the way for his career, cheer up to entertain the ladies of various families, busy to respond, it is easy to stop two days before the Lantern Festival.
She wanted to be close to her son, but Zhou Hong made it clear that she just wanted to be a "filial son", and she would do all the etiquette, and even Dr. Liu would always come to the government office for her to diagnose her pulse for six or seven days...... If the prescription prescribed by Dr. Liu is good, you might as well take a few more doses, and he will come over at any time to change the prescription for his mother. ”
Mrs. Zhou watched her son's figure go away, and she wanted to get angry many times, but miraculously endured it.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, she also felt tired, so she simply agreed to her daughter's request: "Since you said so, and sent someone to take your brother's post to the restaurant by the West Lake to book a seat." Although I don't go out often, I know that today is probably a crowd, and our mother and daughter go to see the lantern festival, and the guards will not be able to live in peace. ”
Zhou Qihuan responded happily, and went to find Zhou Hao's instructions.
Zhou Hong went out today, without a single guard, riding to Deye Mansion, the street crowds intersected, and the direction was actually to the edge of the West Lake. When he arrived at Deye Mansion, he saw that the Ye family had already eaten the Lantern Festival dinner, and everyone was dressed up, and he dragged Ye Zhiqing's hand and was about to go out.
As soon as Ye Zhiqing moved, a large number of apprentices behind him, and even the guard Song Kui was busy keeping up, Zhou Hong was angry and glared at the gang: "You guys...... Can't just hang out on your own? "These eyeless ones!
Ye Zhiqing laughed out loud and instructed the family: "Uncle Song and Ah Ming look at the girls, go out tonight and have a good time, I will wrap all the flowers, and the tiger girl will go to my box to get the silver." ”
When the two arrived at the gate of Deye Mansion, Zhou Hong untied the horse, helped Ye Zhiqing to the horse, turned over on the horse himself, and when the two rode to the edge of the West Lake, Zhou Hong was still complaining: "Ye Zi, those people in your house are a little blind, you see how much Zhou Hao and them around me have a lot of eyes." ”
Ye Zhiqing was hugged by him, the night breeze was blowing, but her back was warm, as if she was in a furnace, her eyebrows were radiant, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she was full of smiles: "Who can compare to the heroic and invincible Major General Zhou, even in the face of tens of thousands of Japanese robbers, he has never changed color." The little woman is no match for a young general, and she has been missing for a while due to a catastrophe, but she has not scared the courage of her family. ”
Since she came back from her last disappearance, her family always felt that she was a little lucky, and even the tiger girl dragged her to the temple to pray to God and worship the Buddha, and donated sesame oil money, hoping that she could be transferred. Song Kui, Su Ming and others are often worried.
Zhou Hong feigned anger: "Do they believe in my ability? "If you take your daughter-in-law shopping, can you still lose people?
"The young general's ability to find people is first-class, no matter where I am taken, the major general can always rescue me, within the fifth sense of the next inscription."
"What are you...... Praise me or scold me? Zhou Hong always felt that something was wrong.
Ye Zhiqing smiled softly on the horseback, and was wrapped in a cloak by Zhou Hong's waist, the two of them felt warm in their hearts, and they only felt that the years were quiet and good, and they lived up to this life.
There are always several grand events in Yangzhou every year, such as the West Lake lantern race on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the dragon boat race in the Dragon Boat Festival in May, etc., which can always attract the people in the city to watch.
When he was about to reach the edge of the West Lake, the crowds of people were rubbing shoulders and it was difficult to move an inch, so Zhou Hong put the horses in an inn next to him, and took Ye Zhiqing's hand and wandered slowly to the edge of the West Lake.
Both of them are dressed plainly today, and they don't want to be eye-catching. Holding hands, talking and smiling, he is no different from many young couples on the street.
Ye Zhiqing rarely has time to go shopping, and is busy seeing doctors every day, studying medical books, sorting out prescriptions, and setting aside time to accompany Zhou Hong, so she is very busy. Today's trip to play with Zhou Hong is the first time.
The two of them stopped and saw the exquisite lanterns hanging in front of the restaurants and shops along the way, so they stopped to admire it, and bought a little bit of fresh snacks to taste two bites. It was a fruit that two people ate together, and they also ate a different kind of honey.
Zhou Hongjiu has been in the military camp for a long time, and he has no experience in getting along with a girl's family since he was a child, and it is the first time to take a little girl shopping. He was just to please Ye Zhiqing today, and shopping was dispensable for him. But now the light market is like day, the little girl is smiling, beautiful or spring flowers, delicate and blooming branches, sometimes whispering to him, sometimes stuffing the snacks that he can't eat directly into his mouth, but it is an experience that he has never had, and he actually lingers a little at this moment.
Ye Zhiqing has never been so relaxed since she came to this life.
When Zhou Hong lived with her, she was not as stable as she is now. But since Zhou Hong handed over his private treasury and Yulu to her, it seems that he suddenly has a sense of belonging.
Is this the sense of security that money brings?
She told Zhou Hong about this discovery, how did she know that Zhou Hong stared at her for a long time, as if he wanted to see a flower from her face,
