Huai'an and Xie Yun held hands and strolled through the bustling streets.

Huai'an said: "In the past few years, the Shangyuan Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, we have all spent it together, and we can't do it this year, so we will pass it in advance." ”

In the third township test, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he was locked up in the tribute courtyard and suffered a serious crime.

Xie Yun asked in surprise: "But, how did you do it?!" ”

Huai An smiled: "Say hello casually, do you like it?" ”

"I like it!" Xie Yun smiled.

……

In the middle of the bustling street, two carriages were blocked one after the other, and they could only move slowly, and finally simply stopped on the side of the road, and a richly dressed woman walked in front of the car, it was Xu Tinglan, attracted by the bustling light market, and wanted to come down and take a walk.

Han also got out of the back car, and the two went to the night market together. Today, the Jianchang Hou family has a happy event, the two families went to the banquet, and when they came back, they encountered such a grand scene, which was quite interesting - it was only the beginning of August, and the capital actually held a lantern festival!

Shen Yu and Xie Yankai had no choice but to get out of the car and randomly visit a citizen: "What day is today?" ”

"I don't know."

"Why is it so lively?"

"I don't know."

In short, they didn't know what to ask, so the two had to gossip while dragging their feet behind. Men of this age are also very boring when they talk, either talking about business or children.

"Huai'an has been very peaceful recently, reading late every day, and his articles have grown." Xie Yan said.

Once the old man praised his son-in-law, most of them were really good, and as soon as Shen Yu's words of gratitude were about to come out, he saw that in the crowd not far away, there was a pair of young men and women with very familiar backs.

Isn't it Huai'an or Xie Yunyou?

Xie Yankai also saw it at this time, and the two followed tacitly.

Xie Yun was holding a rabbit lamp, and the two of them were eating snacks, watching juggling, guessing lantern riddles, rings, and setting off fireworks.

She asked Huai'an: "I still want to know, who did you learn these from?" Do uncles and aunts usually get along like this? ”

Huai'an flatly denied: "My father is not like this, although he is also very good to my mother, but he has no money." ”

Shen Yu has already begun to roll up his sleeves.

Xie Yankai pressed him, put his index finger to his mouth, and persuaded him not to be impatient.

"My father is not like this, and he often makes my mother angry." Xie Yun said.

This time it was Xie Yan's turn to roll up his sleeves.

Xie Yun suddenly stopped, Xie Yan couldn't react, and almost bumped into it.

"I always feel cold in my back." She said.

"Is there one?" Huai'an said, took off his coat, and was about to put it on her, it didn't matter if he turned around, he screamed "wow" in fright.

Xie Yun also looked back, and there was also a scream of "wow", which attracted puzzled and probing glances.

Xie Yun was embarrassed and speechless, and Huai'an dared to smile: "Dad, Uncle Xie...... You're also here for the Lantern Festival, huh? ”

He knew that although their father was not a romantic person, he must be an emotionally stable person, no, the corners of his angry mouth began to twitch, and he didn't get angry on the street.

"Let's talk about it when we get home." Xie Yankai said with a calm face.

……

The two of them asked for a message to be passed to the two ladies, and there was a little matter that needed to be dealt with urgently, so that they could go shopping for a while, and then come back when they were happy, and turn around and carry the two home.

Xie Yankai, who returned home, was dumbfounded, the spacious and clumsy front yard that he had spent countless efforts to arrange had turned into a sea of flowers, full of fragrance.

"What kind of system, huh? What a system! Do you have a few days left to take the exam, and you don't know what you think? ”

Huai'an looked away.

Seeing his son put his old father-in-law's house like this, Shen Yu relieved his breath for a long time, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Propose." Huai'an Road.

“……”

Shen Yu felt that his head in the examination was not enough.

It has to be Xie Yankai, who won the top prize in the examination, in one sentence: "The light market on West Chang'an Street, you also got it?" ”

Huai'an nodded honestly and admitted, and did not forget to add: "I have reported to the Shuntian Mansion." ”

"You...... How did you do that? Xie Yankai's face was incredulous.

"I didn't do anything, but the owners of the shops in the neighborhood were willing to give face." Huai'an smiled modestly.

Without him, the money is capable.

"Extravagance." Shen Yu said.

"Labor and money." Xie Yan said.

Huai'an quibbled: "Isn't it just to look good, the people have money to make and have fun to watch, it is not a waste of money." ”

Xie Yan opened his mouth and was about to refute, when he suddenly sneezed: "Ahh

Suddenly, a rain of petals floated in the air.

"Ahh

Another rain of petals.

"Ahh

Another burst of ......

The two fathers stood helplessly in a sea of flowers, and the rain of flowers in the sky was blowing one after another, and even Huai'an couldn't stand this face.

"Can you tell my father-in-law to stop sneezing?" Huai'an asked Xie Yun in a low voice.

This is the code they agreed on in advance, and the guys hiding on the roof of the wall will scatter flower petals when they hear the sound of sneezing.

Xie Yun was also anxious: "My father will do this when he smells pollen." ”

"Pollen allergies?" Huai'an hurriedly said: "Quick, come into the house!" ”

Chapter 197

Huai'an and Xie Yun helped Xie Yankai back to the hall, and called someone to invite Langzhong. Several people were busy sweating, and Huai'an picked up a folding fan and gave it to the old father-in-law to fan diligently.

Xie Yun's second brother and third brother rushed over when they heard the news, and they all saluted Shen Yu, but saw Xie Yankai holding a handkerchief and "sobbing sideways".

Xie Tao said: "Second brother, look at our father, he is moved to cry. ”

Xie Yun winked at him, Xie Tao didn't understand it at all, and then said: "Dad, don't be sad, even if the little sister gets married, she will often bring Huai'an back to live." Huh, Huai'an? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Huai'an said busily.

Xie Yankai casually picked up a pomegranate and threw it towards his third son, grunting and rolling away.

Xie Tao blinked, and asked in a daze, "Why did you hit me?" ”

……

When Xu Tinglan and Han came back, they saw that the front yard was covered with seasonal flowers, and the little maids in the front yard were cleaning up bundles one by one.

"What is this for?" Han asked.

The servant woman said: "Mrs. Hui, it was my aunt who put it up, saying that he wanted to propose to the eldest lady, and the master ordered us to clear it quickly." ”

and retold the original scene that had just happened.

Both ladies laughed: "Who did you learn from this child?" ”

"This needs a whole boatload of flowers, right?" Han said: "Don't accept it, put it in a place that is out of the way, don't be blind to such beautiful flowers." ”

When the old man smelled the pollen, he sneezed and sneezed...... "The servant woman is embarrassed."

Han Shi thought about it: "Then send it to the back house, let him live in the front yard for the next few days." ”

"Yes."

After that, he led Xu Tinglan to the second gate, and the two were still talking about what they saw and heard in the lamp market all the way.

When he returned to the inner house, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong, Lang Zhong happened to leave with the medicine box on his back, the four brothers and sisters stood together, and a son-in-law stood on the other side, nodding and listening to the old father-in-law's words.

The old champion and the old tanhua are giving them a word and I am reasoning with them - the industry is good at diligence and frolic, and the success is in thinking and destroying; After a tour of the former virtuous country and home, success is due to diligence and thrift...... Why did you propose, buy three carts of flowers with a lot of money, and set up a light market to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in advance, such extravagance and waste is not a move to prosper the family.

When Han entered the house, he asked someone to set up a food table and came in, and the steamed three Ding buns in the kitchen were white, tender and crystal clear, and asked his daughter-in-law and the children to come together to make supper for everyone, and also asked Xie Yun to make tea for her future mother-in-law.

Xie Yun used fetal chrysanthemum lily and dried Sydney pear to make a pot of lung-moistening and fire-lowering tea, and I don't know if it was for his mother-in-law, or for his father and future father-in-law.

Xu Tinglan praised Xie Yun's ingenuity, how to look at it and how happy, the two families were lively around the dining table to drink tea and eat steamed buns, and the two verbose "old men" were snubbed into two stone sculptures.

Xie Yankai knew that his wife intended to change the topic, so he reluctantly wiped his tears and sneezed with a handkerchief.

……

The next day, Xie Yankai moved to the front yard, first, the back house was full of flowers, and second, Xu Tinglan often came and went, and prepared exam boxes and examination utensils for the two candidates with Han.

As the eldest in the family, Huai'an and Xie Tao naturally did not use the new box, but inherited the second-hand box used by their brothers.

Huai'an never thought that he had today, so he didn't carefully observe his brothers' examination tools.

I was stunned when I saw it, this is going to the exam, it's going to live.

The structure of the test boxes on the market is similar, and it is divided into three layers.

The first layer is naturally pens, ink, paper, inkstones and other answering tools, as well as waterproof test paper bags, windshields for candles, etc., as well as nails, hammers, pastes and other tools for repairing the number room.

The second layer is the food for the first exam, that is, three days' rations, and before entering the venue, cooked foods such as champion cakes, lotus leaf cakes, sauced beef, and pickled cucumbers will be put in.

On the third floor is a huge drawer, where there are examination curtains, covers, and thin felts to protect against the cold at night, which are covered on the board for sleeping.

In addition, they each put a delicate small copper stove, which was specially sent by Xu Tinglan, and the Han family taught them to use the small stove to cook bacon porridge and Yangchun noodles, otherwise in Huai'an's words: "After eating dry food for nine days, people will be dry." ”

As long as Xie Yankai saw it, it was a sentence of "a loving mother is a loser", and then carried a son and a half back to the front yard to continue to work hard.
