During the Shangyuan Festival, the flower market lights up like day.
"There are pedestrians everywhere today. Do you guys need to be vigilant when you're with the girl?" Su Shi was a little worried, but the children were all clamoring to see the lanterns, so she had to warn the people who were waiting around her. , I couldn't help but told my daughters a few more words: "Don't go to that crowded place, don't step on it and fall, you know?"
You Ling pulled her wrinkled sleeves, stood beside You Bao and smiled with a pair of crescent eyes: "Don't worry, mother, our daughter is not someone who can bully her if she wants to!"
"You Ling is right!" You Zhu raised her chest and said proudly, "If anyone who doesn't have eyes dares to recruit this girl, I will let him know what regret is!"
The daughters of the Su family have learned some boxing and kung fu since childhood. Now they are all tall and slender when they grow up. Although they look a little thin, they are all illusions. Adult men are not necessarily their opponents!
Hearing what the third daughter said, Mrs Su couldn't help laughing and crying for a while: "You!" She didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing to agree to let her daughters practice martial arts back then.
"Eldest girl, the carriage is ready outside." Outside Chunsheng came to report that everything was ready, and the children of the Su family went outside in a lively manner, and even Su Kang, who had a very calm temper now, followed suit. I went, leaving only a few elders at home, which shows the great charm of the Lantern Festival.
Young Jin, who was holding You Duan, walked to the front yard and turned to the corridor of the East Cross Courtyard, stopped for a step, looked at the Yuedong Gate of the East Cross Courtyard, and continued to walk with her sister without a word, taking the half-month The troubles and trivial matters that come to them are thrown away and no longer think about it.
You Duan held her eldest sister tightly with one hand, and pointed at a cute jade rabbit lantern hanging on the lantern stand with the other: "Eldest sister, I want this lantern!" It was only after night fell, and the street was full of tourists, and the lanterns were lit up. Everywhere is lit up, and there are fireworks blooming in the dark blue night sky from time to time in the distance and near.
The smile on Youjin's lips never stopped, and she nodded to the vendor who knew that a distinguished guest was coming and took down the lantern pointed by the little girl, and then asked Youluo, who was still confused about which lantern to choose: " What about Yu Luo? Which lamp does Yu Luo want?"
Youluo, who looked six points similar to her, squinted and pondered for a long time, and finally decided to choose a carp lantern. After the hawker lit the candles in the lantern very discerningly, the lantern turned into a big red lantern. Carp, very beautiful.
After the Autumn Equinox, who was beside the eldest girl, paid the money, she hurriedly followed in the footsteps of several girls, for fear that something would happen to the girls.
The peddler has the silver in his hand and has yet to regain his senses. Those little girls are so good-looking! He didn't come back to his senses until another customer came to buy a lamp: "What kind of lamp do you want?"
Besides the people of the Su family, Youbao was picked up by Wei Si who was waiting at the Su family banquet as soon as he entered the city. The Shangyuan Festival was also a rare opportunity for little lovers to get along. The winter solstice and the guards must protect the three girls well.
As for Youzhu, who had taken You Ling and her classmates from Erya Girls' School to watch the lanterns, it was very interesting that only You Jin walked around with the youngest two.
"Long sister, look!" The young satin with a tiger mask on the top of the double bun pointed to the lamp king hanging in the center of the main street in Luohe Prefecture this year: "It's so beautiful!"
This year's Lantern King is a thousand-handed Guanyin lantern with a height of four feet. The kind-hearted Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is even more compassionate under the illumination of the candlelight. From the thousand-handed behind Guanyin to the Yangzhi nectar held in the left hand, it is everywhere. With the ingenious lamp-making skills of the craftsmen.
As soon as the lamp king came out, it attracted all the attention of the tourists. More and more people walked to the street and couldn't move. They stared straight at the lantern, and couldn't help but exclaim: " Too beautiful!"
"It looks better than last year's Baihua Fairy Lamp!"
"If you want me to say, it's still beautiful from a few years ago!" …
There were more and more tourists, and gradually it became a bit waterlogged.
Young Jin, who was squeezed by the pedestrians several times, instinctively did not want to stay here, so as not to collide with the two younger sisters, two guards walked in front to clear the way, and he and Qiufen led a younger sister and went out against the flow of people. Head to go: "Be careful, don't be squeezed."
"Be careful!" The young gold, who was patronizing the two younger sisters but ignored her, was hit by a tourist who suddenly rushed over. Seeing that she was about to fall back, she fell into a thick embrace.
Xiao Linyu followed Su's carriage quietly after going out not long after, and then kept silently following behind You Jin. He knew that Young Jin was still angry with him, but he would return to Beijing tomorrow. If he missed tonight, the two would I don't know when we will see each other again.
Seeing the moment when You Jin almost fell, Xiao Linyu only felt that her heart was about to jump out of her chest, she took a stride to catch the person tightly, and then supported her to stand up: "Are you alright?"
You Jin thought she was about to fall, so she quickly let go of You Duan, but she was caught by Xiao Linyu, who came from behind at an unknown time. She stood in the distance and bit her lower lip. Said: "Thank you."
"Brother Linyu!" Xiao Linyu has been active in the Su family for half a month. The two little traitors, You Duan and You Shu, have long been bought by him. Now that he saw that he rescued the eldest sister, they all obediently agreed with him. He said hello: "eldest sister wants to take us back to the Su family banquet to see the lights, does brother Linyu want to come together?"
Before You Jin had time to say anything, she only heard Xiao Linyu respond: "Okay."
You Jin tried her best to control her eyes and didn't look at him. In fact, she already knew from Yu Shi's mouth that he had been difficult for the past three years, but as soon as the girl's hypocritical energy came up, there was no step for her to go down, so she was just like that. ignore him.
Xiao Linyu felt that her limbs were a little stiff walking in front of him, and he did not forget to carefully protect her so that the tourists next to her would not rush into her again. There was a doting smile on his lips, his little fox has grown up!
The street was crowded with people, and the Su family's carriage could not get in, so everyone had to walk slowly towards the Su family banquet. I don't know when Xiao Linyu bought two packets of fried chestnuts with sugar and handed one to the person in front. Young silk and young satin ate separately, took another bag by himself, carefully peeled out a whole and full chestnut, and quietly stuffed it into Young Jin's hand near him: "You can taste the chestnuts that have just come out of the oven. ?"
Smelling a sweet chestnut smell lingering around him, Young Jin only felt the warmth in his hand that was stuffed with a chestnut, so he made a deep "um" and gently put the still hot chestnut into his mouth. , The sweet, glutinous and sweet taste of chestnut diffused in the mouth with the chewing of the teeth. I don't know whether it was the chestnut or the person next to him. Young Jin only felt that the whole person was warm.
Xiao Linyu saw that she did not reject him, and the smile on her lips deepened, but after a while, she peeled off another one and stuffed it into her hand, which was as dark as Chen Cang. Feeling a little dry in the throat, Xiao Linyu gave up in disappointment.
Handing the remaining chestnuts to the servant who was following behind him, Xiao Linyu followed the girl's footsteps closely. When the intersection in front of him was blocked, the two of them were almost holding hands, and he half lowered his head and made a deep voice. Asked: "You Jin, don't get mad at me again, okay?"
Young Jin was overwhelmed by his hoarse and coquettish voice. He only felt that his body on the left was slightly numb, and he didn't turn his head back.
Xiao Linyu looked at the girl's graceful neck, which was as delicate and moving as the finest white jade under the lanterns and candles, and couldn't help swallowing, and said, "I won't hide anything from you in the future, okay? It's just this time. , is it not an example?"
I don't know how long I waited, the pedestrians in front finally evacuated a little, and when the flow of people walking out began to move slowly again, Xiao Linyu heard the girl's vague "um".
When everyone walked out of the most congested street and finally could breathe the cold air of early spring, they saw Xiao Linyu who followed at the end with a smug smile on her face, but the eldest girl did not know why her eyes were a little erratic and her cheeks were blushing. , very strange.
"Cough, cough, let's go back quickly, maybe it will be blocked again in a while." Young Jin coughed dryly, resisting the humiliation in his heart, calmly instructing the large army to continue to go back, taking advantage of the crowd together When walking forward, he turned his head to the left, glared at Xiao Linyu viciously, and seemed to say silently, "It's all your fault!"
Xiao Linyu smiled even more happily.
Although the group of people walked back, they did not delay the play at all. In addition, Xiao Linyu deliberately tried to please, and it was a clay figurine and a sugar gourd.
Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the Su family banquet is naturally full of guests. The fat and kind Ai Chang came out of the box on the second floor and greeted the guests with a smile, when he saw the girls from the host's family coming, just like a galloping potato, murmured in front of him: "The eldest girl is back, The boxes in the back are all packed."
"There are a lot of things in the store, Uncle Ai is working harder, so you don't have to worry about us." You Jin responded with a smile, and led the two younger sisters to the backyard.
Seeing the man behind her, Ai Chang's eyes lit up at first, then he lowered his head in a blink of an eye under the gesture of the man's eyes, making way for the masters.
In the garden of Su Jiayan, hundreds of lanterns specially made by craftsmen Aichang were hung in the garden. The lanterns of various colors complement each other. The main lamp, the lotus fairy lamp hanging on the rockery in the middle of the courtyard, is also very beautiful.
The boxes in the Sujiayan Garden must be reserved in advance. Some people in Luohe Prefecture know that Sujiayan also has a lantern festival, and they think that the street outside is crowded, so it is better to watch it quietly here. Lanterns come comfortably. In addition, the Su family has gained such a big face this year, and there are more people with ulterior motives. Many people came here with the heart of becoming attached to the Su family. All the boxes for the above-mentioned Yuan Festival have been booked out long ago.
"Safe girl Su." A young man with a somewhat polite and scholarly appearance, holding a folding fan, stopped in front of the Su family and his group, thinking that he was smiling gracefully: "I was born late, Zhang Han, I have heard the name of Miss Su for a long time. , I have admired the girl for a long time, and when I see her today, I know that the girl is far above the rumors."
Before You Jin, who was confessed in public, had time to react, Xiao Linyu, who was on the side, turned black: "Looking at him, he is also a scholar, but he is so rude! Really humiliating the reputation of the sages and saints?"
Zhang Han spent a lot of money to enter the Su family banquet in order to win the heart of the beauties. Back to him: "Why did Xiongtai hurt people for no reason? Although I was a little reckless, but the old saying goes, a fair lady, a gentleman is good, and I am a gentleman, what's wrong?"
"A gentleman can't do the act of blocking the road at night." Xiao Linyu's jade face was slightly dark, and she was very unhappy.
Young Jin reluctantly glared at the man who was jealous, she just let go, why did she still hit the snake with the stick
Xiao Linyu, who was stared at by her, turned her head away very childishly, and gave a light "hum" and ignored him.
Looking at the interaction between the two, Zhang Han was startled, and hurriedly said: "During the Shangyuan Festival, there will be lanterns in the Luo River. Thousands of lanterns are set off against the water surface, and they are very splendid. It looks good, I wonder if Miss Su is interested in going together?"
To say that Zhang Han was originally from a wealthy family, but unfortunately, his father was a scoundrel. When he was young, he indulged in sensuality and lingering in casinos. Tens of thousands of family assets were almost lost before Zhang Han was 13 or 14 years old. , Now there is only an old house with three entrances and three exits in Dongshi, Luohe Prefecture, and another 20 to 30 acres of land is rented out, and there is no other money.
That Zhang Han is conceited and extraordinary, how can he be willing to live a rough life? He also considers himself to be a good-looking woman and a bit smart. After studying hard for a few years, after he was born in Tongsheng last year, he was determined to find a woman with both talent and good looks and a wealthy family as his wife.
In the autumn of last year, Zhang Han took a glimpse in Jiazi Lane, where Erya Girls' School is located, and Zhang Han fell in love with this legendary eldest girl of the Su family. During this period of time, watching with cold eyes, the Su family's family was really good. There was only one son, and the Su family's family business was all earned by the Su family's daughter. If anyone married the Su family's daughter, there must be a huge dowry. Zhang Han is also quite confident in her appearance. She thinks that the Su family girl is nearly nine years old now. If she wants to have a character like her to match, she will definitely not refuse.
You Jin didn't know what the details of this person were, but looked at him coldly, although he was dressed as a scholar, but his eyes flickered, and he didn't look like a gentleman. Bending up, he said lightly: "Thank you for your kindness, the little girl is just like a willow. I don't dare to compare with the son. Please ask the son to move his esteem a little bit."
Zhang Han waited for this opportunity for a long time, how could he just let it go? But before he could say anything, he saw the man behind the Su family girl waved his hand, and then the two guards with knives and armor stepped forward and lifted themselves directly away.
Zhang Han, who was smashed to the ground, was tightly grasped, and shouted in embarrassment: "What are you doing? I have a reputation for fame? I must confess to Lord Qin that he will punish you for your sins!"
It's a pity that the Su family girl didn't even look at him, and the group went forward in a hurry.
One of the guards who lifted him away directly took out a token from his arms, handed it to him, shook it, and left with a blank expression.
After Zhang Han looked at it, his legs became weak, and he slumped on the ground: "Yu, Yu, Lin Jun?!" If the two guards just now were the Yulin Army, could it be that the man who commanded them was Duke Luo? Thinking of this, Zhang Han broke out in a cold sweat for no apparent reason. After an unknown amount of time, seeing that no one noticed his existence, he left Su Jiayan lightly and hard.
