Chapter 56: The Qixi Lantern Festival
Changge made incense powder from the pharmacy for a day, and after returning home in the evening, he couldn't wait to ask Lin Yanchen about the Qixi Lantern Festival.
Lin Yanchen said: "Every year during the Qixi Festival, the town will hold a lantern festival, if you are interested, I will take you there." β
Changge immediately nodded like pounding garlic: "Go!" β
She was born to love to join in the fun, in her previous life when she was a gangster in the market, where was there any fun to get together, since she came to Linjiazhuang, she sorted out the simplest medicinal materials every day, and made gouache, it was so boring that it exploded!
Lin Yanchen saw that Changge's face was full of anticipation, and he unconsciously brought a smile in his eyes.
Soon ushered in the Qixi Festival, because the Qixi Lantern Festival will be held at night, and the young girls in Linjiazhuang can take the village chief's ox cart to the town together with their parents, of course, after all, the ox cart pulls a limited number of people, and those women who are not used to seeing Erya on weekdays naturally can't sit down.
In order to have the opportunity to participate in the Lantern Festival, those girls flattered Erya in every way.
However, the more they are like this, the more Erya is good at standing. In the end, she only chose a few good ones to play on weekdays, and there were still a few seats on the ox cart, but she didn't pull it.
It was Lin Hu who was driving, and since the last incident, the village chief has given gifts door to door, especially to the Lin family, which made the people in the village relieved, and no one reported to the official. But during this period of time, Lin Hu has stopped a lot, and today is the first time he has appeared.
Lin Hu drove Lin Erya all the way to the entrance of the village, and there were still many girls and children chasing and begging to take them together.
Just at this time, Lin Yanchen and Changge were also ready to set off, and they saw Lin Yanchen leading the carriage out of the door, he was wearing a moon-white robe today, embroidered with bamboo leaf green, and his whole person was like a green bamboo, slender and straight, the ink hair was tied up at will, and some broken hair fell down on his forehead, so a handsome boy.
Those girls couldn't help but be stunned.
At this time, Changge's more beautiful scenery appeared, compared to Lin Yanchen's exquisite dress, she wore it very casually, that is, the cyan high-necked shirt she wore on weekdays, a water-like pleated skirt, and a blue ribbon hanging down her waist, which looked exceptionally fresh and beautiful.
However, in the eyes of those girls, Lin Changge is still not worthy of Lin Yanchen! She doesn't even deserve one of Lin Yanchen's toes!
Lin Yanchen glanced at Changge's hair, and was wearing the hairpin he gave her, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
"Let's go."
After Lin Yanchen finished speaking, he helped Changge into the carriage.
Although Changge said more than once that she was not so hypocritical, Lin Yanchen didn't have to pay too much attention to these details, but just like she didn't let Lin Yanchen call her a lady, people didn't listen at all.
So, under the envious and jealous eyes of the group of girls, Changge was helped into the carriage, but he didn't go in, but glanced at the group of carefully dressed girls not far away.
Changge said: "It seems that they also want to go to the town, why don't we take them for a ride." β
It's not that Changge is kind, it's just that since Lin Erya is unwilling to take them, Changge doesn't mind taking this to save his image.
It's just a matter of effort.
Lin Yanchen also took this into account and nodded, although he didn't want to bring those girls who didn't look pleasing at all, but who let the lady speak......
After getting Lin Yanchen's consent, Changge greeted the girls: "Are you going to the town, come up together!" β
"This ......"
Those girls looked at each other, they didn't have a good relationship with Changge...... However, it was Lin Gongzi's carriage!
Lin Erya's face turned blue when she saw this, this Lin Changge was obviously deliberately unable to get along with her! Immediately said to those girls: Hey, don't you want to ride my ox cart, I changed my mind and decided to pull you, come up! β
"Uh...... Erya, we won't trouble you. β
"That's right, let's go and take Lin Gongzi's carriage."
Lin Erya: "......"
The carriage place is enough to seat seven or eight girls, many of whom are taking the carriage for the first time, and they seem a little restrained, but fortunately, Changge is a self-familiar character, and he is the first to speak: "Alas, this is the first time I have been to the town's lantern festival, have you been there in previous years?" β
"Well, I've been there once."
"I've been there three times."
Although these girls usually chew a few words on the root of Changge's tongue in private, they don't have any bad intentions, and when they come into contact with Changge so closely, the arrogance of resisting Changge has also dissipated without a trace.
Changge said again: "Is there anything delicious and fun about the Lantern Festival?" β
"That's a lot, there are osmanthus cakes, crystal steamed dumplings, and monkey shows......"
Along the way, the carriage chattered non-stop, and the girls who originally thought that Changge was heinous suddenly felt that Changge was still quite good, at least much closer than Erya.
Talking and laughing all the way to the town, the lantern festival had just begun, and after saying goodbye to those girls, Changge took Lin Yanchen to wander around the street.
Although the Tanabata Lantern Festival in the town is not as prosperous as in the previous life in Beijing, it is also extremely lively, and the streets are full of people, most of them are girls who have not left the cabinet and handsome young men, all hoping to meet their destined people today.
There is a river in the town called Mochizuki River, and there are always river lanterns here to pray during the New Year's holidays, and Tanabata is no exception. The riverside has long been filled with small vendors selling river lanterns.
Changge never believed this, but she was used to joining in the fun, so she took Lin Yanchen to the river and bought two lotus lanterns.
The lantern is made of oiled paper, and there is a candle in the center of the flower, so you just need to light it, put it in the river, and close your eyes and make a wish.
After Lin Yanchen put the river lantern into the water, he closed his eyes.
It was the first time he had done such a childish thing, but it was also the only time he wished to make his wish come true.
Changge let go of the river lantern in his hand, and after silently praying for Li Langzhong in his heart, he added a very clichΓ© one, hoping that I would make a fortune as soon as possible!
β¦β¦
After the two of them let go of the river lanterns, it was already completely dark, and there were countless river lanterns floating on the river, and the streets and alleys were brightly lit and very lively.
Changge was bargaining with the boss in front of a dim sum stall, and a group of people roared by, Lin Yanchen immediately took Changge into his arms, so as to avoid being bumped into him.
The nervous Changge didn't notice how ambiguous Lin Yanchen's posture was when he hugged her, and after thanking her, he grabbed a passer-by and asked, "Little brother, where are you in a hurry?" β
"The girl doesn't know yet, every year the town's Tanabata Lantern Festival will hold a poetry competition, this year our town's first talent in the town came to participate, how many women who have not come out of the cabinet have squeezed their heads to see it!"
"The Race Society? Sounds interesting, Lin Yanchen ......"
"Don't go!" Who knew that Lin Yanchen suddenly refused.
"Why?" Changge was puzzled: "As a scholar, shouldn't you be keen on this kind of occasion?" β
Lin Yanchen did not reject this kind of activity before, and when he was studying in the town, he was pulled by his classmates and friends to participate, and the result was ...... As soon as he came on stage, before he could speak, he was almost stoned to death by the flowers thrown by the woman in the audience, so he could only flee with a cold face.
For this reason, I was laughed at by my classmates and friends for several days.
"Ahem, it's just a poetry club, nothing to look at." Lin Yanchen coaxed a long song in a child's tone: "I'll take you to buy something delicious!" β
"But I want to go!" Lin Changge tugged at Lin Yanchen's sleeve and begged: "Husband~"
Lin Yanchen: "......"
He was caught off guard by Changge's call to the husband, and instantly said very undisciplinedly: "If you want to go, then go!" β
A long song and a cheer.
Lin Yanchen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly looked at Changge with a strange expression and said, "Wait, should you go, are you going for that first talent?" β
"Of course not."
Yes, of course! The beautiful man is shared by everyone, although she doesn't have any ideas, it is still necessary to take a look......
