Chapter 299: Lantern Festival

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, not only the Chen family was lively, but also the Rongxiang Hutong outside and the bad shop outside were lively. Each family hung out red crepe lanterns, and invited people to specially build the Dengshan Gate and Lantern Pavilion. There are hundreds of lamps of all kinds hung in a lantern pavilion, and lantern riddles are also hung on the street along the river in the bad place, attracting everyone to compete to see it.

Chen Xuanyue hugged a rabbit lamp to greet Jin Chao.

In the middle of his rabbit lamp is the rabbit woman, and the two next to him are rabbits, and a bowl of white rice soaked in tea oil is placed in the middle, and the rush grass is buried.

Chen Xuanyue showed her and said happily: "...... Go and put it in the lake at night! ”

Mother Sun looked at it and smiled: "This rabbit lamp is well tied, I heard that there is a lantern in Ningdu, Jiangxi, and the whole county will tie this kind of rabbit lamp." I see that the Ninth Young Master's rabbit lamp is very similar. Where did this lamp come from? ”

Mother Song hurriedly replied: "The Ninth Young Master picked it up by himself at the back office, and I like it very much." ”

Gu Jinchao put down the account book in his hand and summoned him over, and touched his head: "Does Xuan Yue want to go to see the Lantern Festival?" ”

He looked at Gu Jinchao blankly: "What is the Lantern Festival?" ”

Chen Xuanyue grew so big, and he hadn't been out of Chen's house once, so naturally he didn't know about the Lantern Festival.

Gu Jinchao told him: "The lantern festival is very lively, there are all kinds of lights. If you want to see it, let the little guy carry you at the door for a while. Can't go out. "Others are stupid and easy to bully, if they get lost, they may not know how to come back.

Chen Xuanyue sighed and shook his head: "Don't look at it." ”

Gu Jinchao was a little surprised, he thought that Chen Xuanyue liked these things. He had always shown great interest in this kind of craft.

Chen Xuanyue climbed onto Luohan's bed like a monkey and went through her ledger.

"Auntie, what is this?" He likes to ask everything, pointing to the account book and asking Gu Jinchao again.

Gu Jinchao explained to him, and asked him softly: "Why don't you want to go to see the Lantern Festival?" ”

Chen Xuanyue just shook his head, did not speak, and continued to look through the Jin Dynasty's account book.

Gu Jinchao remembered that he was afraid of places with many people. was also afraid of loud noises, last time Chen Xi played with a waist drum, which scared him so much that he couldn't get out under the bed. When he was pulled out by his mother-in-law, he was covered in ashes, like a mouse, and he kept muttering: "There was thunder." ”

Chen Xuanyue was frightened for a long time, and when he saw Chen Xi, he took a detour.

Tong's mother came in to talk to Gu Jinchao, and Gu Jinchao told her about the Grange, and didn't notice Chen Xuanyue for a while.

Chen Xuanyue picked up the brush and looked at it, and scratched it twice on the ledger.

When Gu Jinchao turned around, he saw that the account book was drawn in a mess by him, and he snatched the pen from his hand with a smile: "What are you doing!" Chen Xuanyue turned his head, wiped a piece of ink on his face, and his expression was dazed and innocent. Gu Jinchao asked Song's mother to hurry up and take him to the side to play, and she took the account book and looked at it again. This was handed over by her in a rice shop in Baodi, and she hadn't seen it yet.

Chen Xuanyue couldn't see the piece of flowers clearly, Gu Jinchao could only ask Mother Sun to bring the paper over, and she counted the back items one by one.

This counts but does not match the previous one.

There is a problem with this account! Gu Jinchao was a little surprised, if she hadn't calculated carefully, she wouldn't have seen it.

Gu Jinchao calculated it again, and then he decided to come over, and called Tong's mother over and said, "Take this account to Luo Yongping and ask him to ask the shopkeeper of this rice shop." It's definitely not the first time I've done this, and I must have swallowed a lot of money. Ask the truth and pay for the money you swallowed...... He doesn't have to be the shopkeeper anymore. ”

Tong's mother took Gu Jinchao's account and looked at it. This rice shopkeeper does a good job of making accounts, and there is no problem with the line of books. It's not right to count it backwards...... The income is a whole two hundred taels less! She took the account book and went to Guixiangfang, where Luo Yongping was.

These shopkeepers were all brought out from the Ji family...... Gu Jinchao sighed in his heart. She trusted the people brought out by the Ji family the most, and she also used them for promotion, but she didn't expect people's hearts to change, and now she is playing with her to fill her pockets.

If Chen Xuanyue hadn't spent the account book, she wouldn't have reversed the count......

Gu Jinchao couldn't help but feel strange when he thought of this. It's such a coincidence, why did he just turn to that page and swipe out the few accounts in question? She looked at Chen Xuanyue, but he was playing with his chicken.

He tied the chick's feet with a rope and didn't want the chick to stand up. When the chick wanted to leave, he pulled it, and the little thing kept stirring its wings in a hurry, and there was no way at all. When he had had enough, he took the chick into his arms and fed it buckwheat grains.

Gu Jinchao couldn't help but have a guess in his heart.

Chen Sanye said that Chen Xuanyue's dementia cannot be cured...... But what if he wasn't demented at all? His dementia was originally pretended, just to make the Qin clan let down their guard. Don't let the Qin clan kill him like the first two concubines. So when he arrived in Shaanxi, no one would harm him, so he stopped pretending to be stupid and began to make a big difference?

These account books were all read by Luo Yongping or Cao Ziheng and then given to her. Among the two people, Luo Yongping has been a bookkeeper for many years, and Cao Ziheng's knowledge and strategy are all excellent, and they can't see it. Chen Xuanyue just flipped through it casually, can you see it?

If he is pretending to be stupid, he will hide the eyes of all kinds of people in the Chen family. Then he is not only too mentally powerful, but also too patient and too good at making decisions. But Chen Xuanyue is only ten years old now. It's also too unlikely.

Maybe he was wrong to speculate that Chen Xuanyue was talented in martial arts. What he is best at is not force at all, but resourcefulness.

Gu Jinchao was thinking about it, and Chen Xi came over to play with Chen Xuanyue.

Chen Xuanyue was so frightened that he shrank behind Gu Jinchao, holding his little yellow chicken tightly, his eyes widening.

Chen Xi was so angry that he stomped his feet: "Brother Jiu, Sister Xi doesn't hold a drum anymore!" Won't scare you. ”

Chen Xuanyue didn't believe it at all, and hurriedly hid the chicken in the placket. Chicks are drumming and drumming in the hem of his clothes. He stretched out his hand to cover Gu Jinchao's ears again, as if he was afraid of scaring her.

Gu Jinchao pulled Chen Xuanyue to her and said with a smile: "If you toss the chick like this, it won't live for a few days." ”

persuaded him for a long time, saying that Chen Xi would not scare him with a waist drum. Chen Xuanyue took out the chick that had been holding back for a long time and touched its fur soothingly. Children play with animals, just think it's fun, no malice. But my subordinates don't know how important it is.

Gu Jinchao had a beautiful Persian cat when she was a child, with snow-white fur, which was given to her by Ji Cang. She was playing with the kitten and wrapping it in a mat. When it's time to let it out, the cat won't work. She cried in a hurry, but the cat could not be saved.

Chen Xuanyue plays like this, he will definitely play it to death sooner or later.

Gu Jinchao thought about it like this, and felt that Chen Xuanyue was not pretending to be stupid. If it's pretended, he's pretending too well.

Whether he was pretending to be stupid or not, she just treated him as usual. If it's really stupid, then don't say it; If he pretends, he must have his reasons.

It stands to reason that now he will not be threatened by the Qin clan, so there is no need to pretend to be stupid, who knows what he is thinking.

Gu Jinchao had doubts in his heart. But there is no need to figure it out, she really hopes that Chen Xuan will pretend to be stupid, this child is living too hard.

She took Chen Xuanyue and Chen Xi to make dumplings in the afternoon. Osmanthus bean paste, sesame sugar, hawthorn, peanuts and various fillings made many different Lantern Festivals. Afraid that Chen Xuan would swallow it by herself when she ate it, she put a larger silver naked seed, not a golden bean.

The two children helped her with the stuffing, wrapped the dumplings, and played very happily.

Chen Xi ordered sesame seeds on the rice balls wrapped in silver naked seeds, and said to Chen Xuanyue seriously: "Brother Jiu, this is rich rice balls, when you eat them, you have to eat rich ones, and you will have wealth and luck all year round." You remember, it's all sesame seeds—"

Chen Xuanyue nodded seriously, and the girls all laughed.

Gu Jinchao didn't bother to stop them from cheating, as long as they were happy.

Chen Sanye came back in the afternoon, went to greet Mrs. Chen in the evening, and came back to eat a bowl of peanut dumplings.

Chen Xuanyue and Chen Xi have been led by their mother-in-law to watch the lantern festival in the front yard.

Gu Jinchao guarded him to eat rice balls, and Chen Sanye slowly finished eating, and took out the "Lengyan Sutra" that Mrs. Chen gave him to read.

It's bustling outside, but it's quiet inside.

Gu Jinchao thought that he would go to see the Lantern Festival, but he read the Buddhist book with her lamp, and his hand beads fell on the page, and he lowered his eyes and looked at it very seriously.

Gu Jinchao remembered that Mrs. Chen said that the front yard should guess the lantern riddle...... There are lion dance lanterns and dragon lanterns passing by outside Huaixiang Hutong. When the dragon lantern comes, everyone has to go to drill under the dragon lantern to get the dragon spirit. The people will swim along the river...... She hadn't seen such a big lantern show in years.

He threw so much money into his own pocket, and he didn't go to see it?

Gu Jinchao only saw Chen Sanye turn a page of Buddhist scriptures. She put down the embroidery bandage, picked up the scissors and cut the lantern flowers, and there was a snap.

He was reading a Buddhist scripture and couldn't help but smile when he lowered his head.

Gu Jinchao took the opportunity to take his hand: "You can also go outside to see the Lantern Festival!" It's not good to be bored all the time. "He doesn't like to be busy, and he doesn't go to this kind of occasion most often.

Chen Sanye said without raising his head: "...... It's enough for you and Mother Sun and the others to go and win a few more lanterns back. ”

Gu Jinchao was a little disappointed, so let's not disturb him to read. She agreed to go and see Mrs. Chen. The girl took a cloak and put it on for her, and only changed into a spring shirt a few days ago, I'm afraid it's still cold at night.

She fastened her cloak, and Zev picked up the lantern and prepared to go out.

Gu Jinchao glanced back at Chen Sanye again.

Chen Sanye said: "I suddenly remembered, I still have a few words to say to my mother...... I'll go with you. He put down the book and walked to Gu Jinchao's side, Gu Jinchao knew that he was going to accompany him, and couldn't help but look at him with a smile. But I heard him sigh and whisper, "Can't you beg me more?" ”

Doing such a big lantern festival was originally for her. I just wanted to tease her.

She said a word and gave up.

How did Gu Jinchao know if he really wanted to go!

The riddles in the outer courtyard have begun, and the voices of people in Huaixiang Hutong have all spread inside. Mrs. Chen said in advance that you can get golden beans by guessing lantern riddles. There are people in each room who come to guess, and the picture is lively.

Seeing Chen Yanyun come out, Mrs. Chen beckoned him over: "...... It's rare for you to come to see the Lantern Festival, sit here with me."

Chen Yanyun sat down next to her mother to talk to her, and Gu Jinchao followed the Wang family to get up and solve a few riddles, if there was one, he would show it to Chen Yanyun. He looked sideways in his spare time and said the answer directly. After more than ten explanations in a row, Mrs. Chen disagreed, and said with a smile: "If you guess like this, my two bags of golden beans are not enough for him to guess." The third child is not allowed to guess the lantern riddle! ”

Everyone laughed.

The full moon jumped into the night sky, the lanterns in Rongxiang Hutong were as prosperous as a sea of stars, and the people who swam the lanterns gradually went to the river.

Yu Wanxue looked at the moon gate again. Chen Xuanqing hasn't come over yet.

Zhuang comforted her: "Xu is delaying, let's just look at ourselves." He brought her a glass of plum wine.

Chen Xuanqing was standing under the cloister at the other end of the pool, watching their lively scene from afar.

After standing for a long time, he smiled faintly and turned to walk back.
