Chapter 130: Skillful
There is no entrance fee on the day of the Lantern Festival, so the people in the county town are crowded like sardines.
"Sister, there are so many people in the county today!"
"It's so lively!"
"Sister, there are sugar people!"
"And lanterns!"
"What's that?"
The two children flew around like flowers and butterflies, Ye Yunshu and Xiao Mingting followed behind, tired and sweaty.
"If you are naughty again, Sister Ah will not take you to the county to play in the future!" Ye Yunshu was tired, so he simply stopped chasing, and crossed his waist to reason with the two children, "Erlang, you are an elder brother, you can't take your younger brother to mess around." There are a lot of people today, maybe there are flowers hidden in this crowd, what if you all are photographed and sold when the time comes?"
Zhou Fangyin was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak, but Ye Yunzhong was thick-skinned, although he felt that Ye Yunshu was alarmist, but he didn't dare to raise objections because of Ye Yunshu's serious face.
Ye Yunshu knew what this kid was thinking as soon as he saw Ye Yunzhong's expression, it was not bad, in the new year, Erlang had also grown, and he knew the truth that grasshoppers can't shake trees.
The two children who were educated obediently followed the two of them, and Ye Yunshu also bought two little sugar people as rewards.
When night falls, the lanterns are on, and all kinds of lanterns are decorated, brilliant as splendor, full of light, and brilliant with pearls and jade.
Juggling, drumming, singing and dancing, there are stall owners, walking hawkers, guessing lantern riddles, lighting cannons, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.
It was the first time for Ye Yunshu to feel such a grand occasion, and he was as stupid as the two children for a while.
"Let's go to Fucheng when we have a chance. Xiao Mingting looked at her gently, "The city is more lively." ”
Ye Yunshu nodded, Fucheng is full of rich families, so it will naturally be more lively than the small county town of Tongchuan County.
I'd love to check it out!
"The lantern has begun!"
The crowd didn't know who shouted, and everyone squeezed in one direction like crazy, Ye Yunshu held Ye Yunzhong's hand tightly, but he was separated from Xiao Mingting and Zhou Fangyin.
Ye Yunshu was looking for the figure, and at the same time, he didn't forget to count the fallen leaves and Yunzhong, "Look, this is gone, do you still listen to Sister A?"
Ye Yunzhong was still palpitating at this time, it was really too sudden just now, he was short, and the black pressure pressed over, and he couldn't even see the road clearly.
The hand holding with Zhou Fangyin was also rushed away, but fortunately, Sister Ah grabbed it tightly, otherwise she was afraid that she would be trampled to death.
The two of them couldn't stand on their feet in place, and it was easy to knock them down, so Ye Yunshu was squeezed forward by the crowd while tearing his throat and shouting: "Ming Ting! Xiao Yin! Ming Ting! Xiao Yin!"
"Yun Shu!" shouted for a long time, and finally heard Xiao Mingting's response, "We're here!"
Zhou Fangyin rode on Xiao Mingting's neck, a cut above the crowd, Ye Yunshu raised his neck and saw it all of a sudden, knowing that the two of them were together, he was also relieved.
If Xiaoyin was gone, Ye Yunshu would really have no face to go back to see Chen Xueniang.
The two sides were squeezed to Wutong Street, to be precise, by the Huaxi River on Wutong Street.
The promenade on the bank of the river is colored and hung with flowers, every half meter hangs a bowl of lanterns, from a distance, like a fire dragon, on the flower floor on both banks, the girls with delicate colors are separated by the curtains, the sound of silk and bamboo, singing and dancing lightly, and laughing constantly.
A big stage was set up in the river, and a high bamboo frame was erected, and the bamboo frame was hung with lanterns, illuminating the entire river surface sparkling and rippling.
Ye Yun muttered again: "Sister, is this a fairyland?"
Ye Yunshu came back to his senses and nodded Ye Yunzhong's forehead, "Little fool." ”
Xiao Mingting and Zhou Fangyin finally followed at this time, and Zhou Fangyin firmly hugged Ye Yunzhong as soon as he came.
"Brother Erlang, I'm so scared!"
Ye Yun reciprocated him, patted him lightly on the back, and comforted him like a little adult: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, hold my hand tightly, and listen to Sister's words!"
"Brother Erlang, my sugar man is gone. ”
Ye Yunzhong also pouted, and his sugar man was also squeezed out in the chaos, "It's okay, just let Sister Ah buy another one later." ”
Zhou Fangyin nodded obediently, "Hmm." ”
Xiao Mingting was a little embarrassed, his clothes were wrinkled, and even half of his hair was messy, but his temperament was Qinghua, and he was still quite conspicuous in the crowd.
While tidying up his appearance, he said, "I didn't expect to be so embarrassed to enjoy the lantern with you for the first time." ”
Ye Yunshu smiled, "Next time, let's tie the ends of the ribbon around our wrists, and we won't be afraid of getting separated." ”
Xiao Mingting pondered for a moment and then shook his head, "No, a big impact like today's will definitely fall." ”
Ye Yunshu made up for it, it seemed that it was inappropriate, the ribbon had no elasticity, once he encountered a situation like today, his hand was strangled and painful, not to mention, it was indeed easy to be pulled and fallen by external forces.
"By the way, what is the Douhua Lantern?" Ye Yunshu remembered that someone had said this before the chaos.
Xiao Mingting explained, "The bucket lantern is better than whose lantern is better, more exquisite, and the winner who can float a stick of incense in the river without sinking." ”
In recent years, the nobles of the family have been particularly fond of this entertainment, and it is said that it came from the palace and was very popular with His Majesty the Emperor.
Up and down, the folk fighting method is only afraid that it is surpassed.
"What if two lanterns don't sink?
Xiao Mingting shook his head and pointed to the big stage in the river, "Do you see the chairs on the stage? There are five chairs, and they won't be tied." ”
Ye Yunshu nodded, "It's a little interesting." ”
"Come on, come on, press, press!"
The gambling house set all the tables by the river, and the person who shouted, Ye Yunshu, still knew that it was Chen Sanye, who had been to Taoshui Village to collect gambling debts.
However, Chen Sanye was busy sitting in the village at the moment, and he didn't notice Ye Yunshu in the crowd at all, and Ye Yunshu felt that even if he saw it, it was estimated that Chen Sanye would not recognize himself.
"Which one are you betting on this year?"
"I think the Zheng family will definitely be able to do it!"
"No, no, the Zheng family lost to Qian Juren last year, I think Qian Juren is more powerful. ”
......
"Sister, didn't you say that gambling money is not good?" Ye Yun pointed to the outside of the noisy gambling house, "Then why are there so many people gambling money?"
"Because they all want to get rich overnight for nothing. Ye Yunshu said earnestly, "But gambling is a matter that can't be won all the time, do you remember the second uncle and the third uncle? They won the first time they gambled, but what happened later? Not to mention the essence of the loss, they were also interrupted." ”
The fact that he was almost sold at the beginning has always been Ye Yunzhong's shadow, Ye Yunshu mentioned this, Ye Yunzhong couldn't help but shudder, "Sister, gambling is terrible!"
"So, there is no pie in the sky, all you can pick up are traps. Ye Yunshu touched Ye Yunzhong's head, "If you want to take it, you must give it first, and what you get for nothing does not belong to you after all." ”
As soon as Ye Yunshu's words fell, someone said: "The little lady really sees it thoroughly." ”
Ye Yunshu felt that the voice was a little familiar, and when he looked back, it was indeed an acquaintance.
"Little lady Ye, it's a coincidence. ”
Ye Yunshu smiled politely, "It's indeed a coincidence." ”
