378 collect wind and return to the city to enjoy the lanterns; Splashing monkeys make a big fuss on the Yuan Festival
"Can't write it?"
Ye Ming tilted his neck to look at him, and then showed an expression of sudden realization,
"Does Sir have to write alone to write something? I'll go out and wait. ”
Seeing that Yeming was about to go out and wait, Mr. Wu stopped him:
"No, no...... To tell you the truth, I feel that my thoughts have dried up recently, and I can't write new works! ”
In the end, Mr. Wu told the truth,
"I'm already thinking about sealing the pen now......"
When Ye Ming heard this, he was immediately dissatisfied:
"Sir, what are you talking about, the so-called talent, most of them touch the scene, you have no talent now, you must have not walked around for a long time, right?"
When Mr. Wu heard this, he couldn't help but nod:
"It's true that I haven't been out much in the past few years."
It's not just a few, sometimes you can go out once a month, even if it's good.
Ye Ming smiled and said:
"How about I take Mr. out for a walk, well, this should be called, Caifeng."
"Collecting the wind...... Most of the ancient celebrities will travel to the famous mountains and rivers to see the world's mountains and rivers, compared with me, I am indeed a little closed-door. ”
Mr. Wu pondered it and thought it was feasible.
Seeing that he agreed, Yeming smiled and took his hand and said:
"It's just right, today's Shangyuan Festival, let's go to the city to visit the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, sir, you can buy another horse to use."
Mr. Wu bowed his head and said:
"It just so happens that my family is also in the city, so if I travel far away this time, I still have to say goodbye to them."
"Why doesn't the gentleman live with his family?"
"Ahem, Neiko has a lot of gossip, short knowledge, some philistines, when I write books, I like to be quiet and don't like to move, so I moved out to live."
"Haha, I see, I was abrupt."
Ye Ming said, please Mr. Wu get on the horse, ride with him, and go to Jiangliang Mansion.
Since there is a Shangyuan Lantern Festival at night, it can be seen that there are pedestrians going to the city along the road at this time.
It has to be said that today's south is much more prosperous than the south a few hundred years ago, not to mention that the whole south is richer than the north, at least the number of beggars seen along the road is obviously less than that of the north.
Many of the people were traveling in carts and horses.
It's just that the horses in the south are really not like words.
For example, the one in front of him, if he doesn't look closely, he will even mistake it for a donkey, which is really a bit filed.
For example, the white horse that Yeming and Mr. Wu rode was so tall and the coat color was rare, which attracted a lot of attention along the way.
After a short time, the two successfully entered Jiang Liang's mansion.
The prosperity of the city is indeed far from being comparable to the north, and the last time I saw such a scene was in the capital of Xu Kingdom.
As far as the eye can see, the red silk lanterns are hung along the street, and the teahouse and wine shop are open all the way, the lights are red and green, and there is a piece of fireworks in the world.
Listening to the sound of vertical ears, singing and chanting slowly, calling and exchanging words to and fro, elegant and vulgar resonance, a turbid and mysterious sound.
Seeing this at night, he looked around like a wild boy in the countryside entering the city, feeling very novel.
Mr. Wu is much more indifferent on the surface, and he feels happy in his heart when he looks at the prosperity of the city.
After entering the city, Mr. Wu saw that it was still early and said that he wanted to go home to have a look.
His home was not far away, and the two of them arrived soon.
Mr. Wu's wife is indeed a talkative and unsightly, and when she saw the head of the house coming back, she asked how much the recently printed books were sold, how much the income was, etc., and her eyes were full of money.
Mr. Wu himself is somewhat literati, and he doesn't like to talk about money very much, so he was a little unhappy when asked.
But Mrs. Wu didn't care about that, and only after asking everything clearly, did she give up.
After that, I went to the back kitchen to cook.
Mr. Wu's son is 10 years old this year, and he already knows a lot of words and can memorize a lot of articles.
It's just that he, like his father, dislikes his mother's philistine.
Seeing this, Yeming smiled slightly.
Fortunately, there is such a thing as Mrs. Wu in this family, otherwise if you just talk about the bones, I am afraid that the whole family will end up eating chaff.
After dinner, Mrs. Wu said that there was cheap meat and vegetables to buy in the city tonight, so she took the children out.
Mr. Wu said to Yeming with a wry smile:
"Uchiko is vulgar, which makes the son of good fortune smile."
Ye Ming waved his hand:
"Sir, you should be glad you have a wife at home."
Mr. Wu was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't say anything and stopped talking about this topic.
The two of them went back to the street, and at this time the sky was about to darken, and the lights were everywhere in the city, and it was very lively.
There are a lot of jugglers on the side of the road, and it's a lot of fun to watch.
Not far away, in a teahouse, there is a storyteller with lotus flowers blooming on his tongue and foaming at the mouth.
It is a story of "the monkey stealing the elixir", and the audience is listening attentively.
Seeing this, Yeming smiled and said:
"Sir, the story you wrote is known to many people!"
When Mr. Wu heard this, he couldn't help but smile.
For a literati, there is nothing more rewarding than having their work recognized.
The two who were in a good mood continued to wander the street, and Mr. Wu was interested and ran to guess the word puzzle.
Some people recognize him, and they all call him Mr. Wu.
After such an exchange, I inevitably asked him about his new work.
Hearing this question, Mr. Wu suddenly felt that his mood was not so good, and he wanted to go to business first.
"Let's go to the mule and horse farm in the city first, and buy a leg power!"
Yeming had no opinion, and the two went to the mule and horse farm.
As I was walking, I suddenly heard someone selling on the street.
"Monkeys, live monkeys, fresh monkeys!"
Originally, Mr. Wu just glanced at it casually and didn't care.
But after glancing at the monkey, his expression moved.
Then I saw a monkey with a somewhat vicious expression and an unyielding expression being tied to a stake by the roadside by a man.
Mr. Wu took a closer look, wasn't this monkey the one he was defeated by himself during the day?
The monkey also saw Mr. Wu, and until now, he still has no change in his ferocity, grinning at Mr. Wu.
"Mr. Wu, you are also here to visit the Shangyuan Festival and wait for the meeting?"
When the man selling the monkey saw Mr. Wu, he was also surprised and greeted him with a smile.
When Mr. Wu saw him, he had some impressions, he should also be from that town, and he had taken a photo, but he didn't know his name.
"Where did you come from, monkey?"
Seeing Mr. Wu ask, the man smiled honestly and honestly:
"It's also luck, I came home from the field today, and I was in a hurry to urinate halfway, and I went into the forest to solve it.
I didn't expect to pick up such a monkey for nothing, and I thought that there must be people in the city who like to eat monkey brains, so I brought them to sell. ”
Hearing this, Mr. Wu nodded, and walked towards the monkey.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly said:
"Mr. Wu, be careful, this beast is very fierce and can bite, I was accidentally bitten on the leg by it at that time, if it weren't for the thick pants, I would have been bitten off a piece of meat."
This monkey is not fierce, can Mr. Wu not know?
It's just that seeing that he is obviously in a desperate situation, he still looks unyielding, and he admires and sympathizes.
Remembering that it was he who injured it that caused him to be arrested, and thinking that he was still a little reluctant to go, he asked:
"How are you going to sell this monkey?"
When the honest man heard this, he showed a very embarrassed expression:
"Ten taels, what do you think?"
When Mr. Wu heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate, and he only had more than ten taels on him, and he planned to buy foot power......
Seeing Mr. Wu's embarrassed face, the man was about to change his words and reduce the price, but when he saw that Mr. Wu had a certain look on his face, he directly took out ten taels of silver and handed it to him.
Suddenly got the silver, and the man was also confused.
Is this one so upright?
Those who do business pay attention to bargaining.
He said ten taels, but as soon as he said it casually, he waited for the other party to make a counteroffer.
Originally, I expected to be able to change about three or two, but I didn't expect it......
Mr. Wu is a loyal man!
"Can I take this monkey now?"
"Yes, yes, please, please!"
The man held the silver, smiled very honestly, and nodded to Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu looked at the monkey and saw that it was tied to a wooden stake and it was inconvenient to carry, so he thought about untying it first.
When the monkey saw Mr. Wu untying the rope for himself, he immediately showed a pitiful expression, as if he was very grateful.
When Mr. Wu saw this, his heart moved, and he felt that this monkey was still good, and he understood human nature.
As soon as he untied the rope, he saw that the monkey's face changed instantly, jumped away, fell to the mask stall next to him, picked up a mask casually, and hit Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu was caught off guard and was hit in the cheek by the mask.
When the monkey saw this, he let out an arrogant cry, jumped again, landed on the roof beside him, removed the tiles, and threw them down.
This time it wasn't to hit Mr. Wu, but to throw it when he saw someone.
Many pedestrians were recruited one after another, and the scene was suddenly chaotic.
When some people saw the monkey making trouble, they picked up the stone and hit it.
The monkey was a clever learner, and when he saw a stone coming at him, he dodged it a few times in a row, and then jumped directly onto the red silk hanging between the houses, and knocked down the beautiful lanterns.
More than one, but with a flexible posture, constantly jumping around, knocking down a large number of lanterns.
There was a lantern flickering, and it fell directly into the firewood and straw stack on the side of the road, and suddenly ignited a fire.
The fire made the scene even more chaotic.
When the monkey saw the fire, he was even more excited, and saw a panicked rich lady on the side of the road fall and jump directly on the rich lady's head.
The rich lady screamed in fright, but the monkey tore off the beautiful hairpin on her head and jumped away triumphantly.
On the Metaverse Lantern Festival, I was disturbed by a monkey all of a sudden.
Someone was furious and took a bamboo pole to hit the monkey.
Seeing this, the monkey rushed into the crowd, showing its teeth and claws.
When people face animals, they often have the psychology of wanting to "brush alone without injury", so when they are not injured, most of them will have a wonderful fear psychology and avoid animals.
The monkey didn't understand this, but when he saw that people were afraid of it, he arrogantly ran around the streets.
The few people chasing it in the rear were blocked by others and it was difficult to follow up.
The monkey ran all the way, overturning and knocking down people's stalls all the way, and everywhere they passed, it was a mess.
Some butchers were furious and chased it directly with a pig-killing knife.
The monkey was small and shuttled from one stall to another, and the butcher couldn't catch up.
What's even more annoying is that the monkey saw that the butcher was far away from the stall, and suddenly turned back to the butcher's pig killing case.
There is a small fence next to the desk, and there is a live pig in it.
The monkey deftly opened the fence, jumped on the pig's back, grabbed the pig's ears with both hands, and pulled it hard.
The pig snorted in pain and rushed out of the enclosure.
Then they saw a monkey riding a pig and rampage through the streets.
When pedestrians on the street saw this, they all hurriedly avoided it.
When the monkey saw this, he was even more arrogant, thinking that people in the world could easily mess with everything around him.
The monkey riding a pig scurried around the streets of the Shangyuan Festival, constantly destroying it, and everyone avoided it wherever it passed.
Just when the monkey was very arrogant, he suddenly saw the butcher from before come again, and threw the knife out of his hand from a long distance.
The knife struck the pig that sat down, and the pig was hit by the knife and fell to the ground, howling.
The monkey was also thrown out, but fortunately it was light, and after rolling twice on the ground, it got up again and was not injured.
The monkey who had just run rampant on the street and scared everyone away was full of confidence at this time, and when he saw the fat butcher, he was not afraid, and dared to rush directly forward.
It seems that he intends to let the butcher know that he is powerful.
But unfortunately, as soon as he rushed up, he was held down by the butcher's hand, and it was useless to let it struggle.
The butcher had no mercy on it, and when he lifted it up, he ignored his resistance, picked up the pig-killing knife on the ground, and was about to put an end to it.
At this time, I saw Mr. Wu, who was out of breath, striding towards him and shouting:
"Slow down, slow down!"
