Chapter 12: The Lantern Festival

In the backyard room of Xuan Miaoguan, Xiao Chenyu and Yao Guan of Xuan Miao Guan were still playing.

Both of them were a little tired, but their eyes were still fixed on the game.

Until there was a knock at the door: "Watching the Lord, today is Shangyuan, the Lord is ......."

"Got it, long-winded!" Yao Guan didn't look like a cultivator, he yelled at the door rather grumpy, and looked at the chess game again.

Xiao Chenyu only smiled faintly, patiently waiting for Master Yao to think slowly.

After another quarter of an hour, Yao Guan finally sighed, wiped his beard on his chin with his hand, and said, "You kid, if I hadn't been to meet the heavenly officials today, I would definitely be able to fight with you for a few more hours, and when the time comes, it is still unknown who will lose and who will win, hum." ”

"So who loses and who wins now? It can't be a draw, right? Xiao Chenyu stood up and slowly moved his stiff hands and feet.

"I didn't lose, but the yard is my wedding gift to you, and I'll have someone change the deed to your name later."

When Xiao Chenyu heard this, he bowed deeply to Lord Yao Guan, straightened up and said, "Thank you Lord Yao Guan for your generosity." ”

Yao Guan snorted coldly: "You, you don't have to be so coy, I said last time that I recommended you to go to my friend, but you didn't want to, and said that you wanted to go around, see the world, and travel to this famous mountain and river." But now that I suddenly feel married, I can't understand you more and more. ”

"The world is impermanent, how can I think that there will be today?" Xiao Chenyu smiled bitterly: "Since I have taken the road of marriage, I have taken another path, after getting married, I am going to go to the county to study, to see if I have abandoned my studies in the past few years?" ”

Yao Guan was wearing a Dao robe on his body, which was quite a bit of a fairy wind dao bone, but he didn't care about shrugging his shoulders, plus he rolled his eyes at Xiao Chenyu, which was a little far away from the fairy wind dao bone.

"Okay, everyone has his own way, and everything is fate." Lord Yao Guan left, and muttered in his mouth: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the nine Qi heavenly officials, the main record of the hundred divisions, the heavenly que, and the book of the world's sins and blessings." ”

Xiao Chenyu went back to his room, fell asleep after bathing, and when he woke up, it was almost time to apply, he was busy changing clothes and washing, and then took the gift that the little Taoist priest had helped prepare in advance to his mother-in-law's house.

came out and met the little Taoist, handed over a house deed, and congratulated Xiao Chenyu with a smile.

After Xiao Chenyu took the deed, he said a few words of greeting and left the Taoist temple.

Xuanmiaoguan occupies a large area, and there are four or five small courtyards in a row outside, all of which are fenced courtyard walls, earthen walls and green tile houses. Many years ago, the Xuan Miao Temple had a flourishing incense, and this row of courtyards was built to temporarily reside for Taoist friends who came from afar.

Now it has been vacant for a long time, but the Taoist temple will still be overhauled every year, and there are small Taoist priests responsible for cleaning every day, although there is not much furniture, but at least it does not leak rain and does not breathe wind.

The Lantern Festival at Qin Xun's house was not lively, and even after Aunt Sang finished making lunch, she took Lian'er to her nephew and daughter-in-law's house.

As for the Su family, they never come and go on festivals, as if their mother and daughter don't exist.

Xiao Chenyu came to the door, Su Shi was very happy, and said to Qin Xun: "I'll go to the kitchen to get two more dishes, you can entertain him well." ”

After finishing speaking, he left happily, Qin Xun was stunned and asked, "Why are you .......?"

After thinking about it, it was a bit rude to ask like this, and then changed the topic: "I went to Xuanmiaoguan the day before yesterday, but I didn't see you set up a stall, I knew that you were busy, but I didn't expect you to come today." ”

Xiao Chenyu put the gift on the table, sat down and said with a smile: "I've been busy getting a shelter from the wind and rain these days, so I can't let you borrow the Taoist temple with me." ”

Qin Xun instantly understood, it turned out that he was busy for his family after getting married, and he was a little moved in his heart, more embarrassed, in fact, he was sorry for Xiao Chenyu, others saved him, and he planned to borrow him as a shield.

So, for the first time, she smiled sincerely at Xiao Chenyu: "Now you are ready?" Actually, I don't care about this, it's okay to rent a house and get married. ”

"It's the courtyard next to the Taoist temple, the house is not very good, I have wronged you." Xiao Chenyu said frankly, without much crampedness.

After a while, Qin Xun stood up and said, "I'll help my mother, you can sit down by yourself." ”

On the way to the kitchen, Qin Xun's thoughts couldn't help but fly away......

When Qin Xun was very young, his father often said: "When she grows up in the future, she will marry a wealthy family, and she will serve in a group, so she doesn't have to learn the work of knitting women's red and cooking dishes." ”

Therefore, the Su family never let Qin Li into the kitchen, and the needlework master invited to teach the Su family for a few years.

Qin Xun did marry a wealthy family later, but that day was very difficult, and now she has chosen a poor family, and she has to face new problems, now think about it, she has a brain of poetry and songs, her hands can play intoxicating piano sounds, and she can make all kinds of incense, but she can't do kitchen work, nor can she do clothes, laundry and clean up the house.

She told her mother about these things, and Su was also worried, and said: "I'll ask Ming'er again, if you really can't find anyone, you can take Aunt Sang away, and Lian'er will accompany me." ”

"Besides, his house should be very small, and Aunt Sang may not be able to live in it in the past." Qin Xun thought that she had seen that small courtyard, and it didn't seem to be big.

With Xiao Chenyu, this Lantern Festival night was particularly lively, and Qin Xun also seemed to open his heart and drank two glasses of wine with Xiao Chenyu and Su Shi.

After the meal, Xiao Chenyu invited the mother and daughter to see the lanterns, Qin Xun was a little hesitant, she didn't really want to go out, but Su Shi was very happy, and said: "You guys go, when Aunt Sang comes back, we will go to the Three Bridges, and I am still worried that it is not safe for Xian'er to be at home alone." ”

Walking on the three bridges means that all diseases can be eliminated.

Since Su said so, Qin Xun was not easy to spoil everyone's interest, so he put on a cloak and followed Xiao Chenyu out.

The moonlit earth is bright, but when you turn the alley, you can see that the street is brightly lit, and the moon in the sky is a little less brilliant.

This is the first time Qin Qian has seen the lantern festival.

Bamboo poles are erected on the bridge to hang lanterns, and there are several lamps hanging at the entrances of shops, and teahouses and liquor shops are bustling.

Qin Xun put the cloak of the cloak on his head, and walked forward with Xiao Chenyu.

"The county town is more lively than here, and the temples along the river will also erect bamboo poles to hang lanterns, called bridge lights, in order to pray for blessings and avoid disasters, and I will take you to see it when I have the opportunity in the future."

"Good!" Qin Xun raised her head and looked at Xiao Chenyu and smiled, half of her face was exposed in the light, looking extremely beautiful, but there was a feeling of unreality.

Xiao Chenyu raised his hand and wanted to lift Qin Coward's cloak so that he could see it more clearly, but when his hand touched the hair on the edge of the cloak, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his hand patted Qin Coward's cloak and said with a smile: "Let's go!" ”

Qin Xun was stunned for a moment, and then he followed Xiao Chenyu's side.

From a distance, there are many lamps of various shapes hanging high in front of a merchant house, and the front is full of people.

"Whose lamp is that?" Qin Xun asked Xiao Chenyu.

Xiao Chenyu looked at the lamp in front of him and looked back at Qin Xun: "The richest rich man in the town, the Chen family." ”
