Two days later, the Qinhuai River was decorated with lanterns and people were bustling, which was several times more lively than the college entrance examination.
The sound of oars, the lights, the willow waists twisting, the annual beauties selection event on the Qinhuai River has come to an end, the literati, the wealthy businessmen are vying for the first place, more enthusiastic than the girls on the stage... ...
Amidst the hustle and bustle, a carriage passed by quietly, and a corner of the curtain was lifted up, but the sight did not fall on the grand event on the other side of the river, but on the Qinhuai River.
At this time, the Qinhuai River has also entered autumn, and the sun shines on the water and flows slowly. The towering city walls and the flowing river water are like falling branches and leaves, and the long wind is blowing and the geese are flying south. The red leaves fall to the riverside, rippling in whirlpools and drifting away, like a yellow disc bathing in the river.
The autumn in Yingtian is full of poetry and is very beautiful.
Zhu Ping'an let down the drawn curtains and raised the corners of his lips slightly, but no matter how beautiful it was, it couldn't compare to Xiahe Village.
The beauty queen was selected by the Qinhuai River, and the carriage returned safely.
Zhu Ping'an, who had been on the road for several days, naturally didn't know about the grand scene along the Qinhuai River, nor did he know which young man became famous overnight with a poem that attracted thousands of people's attention. Naturally, he didn't know how famous his uncle Zhu Shouren became with his "Farewell at the Long Pavilion" and "The Song of Mulan" (although this was pointed out later, it did not affect his uncle's fame).
Of course, they also didn't know that two dark horses emerged during the selection of the most beautiful women on the Qinhuai River. They both won the title of the most beautiful woman from obscurity. One sang "White Fox" and the other danced. Their unique singing style, slightly hoarse and melancholy voices, and delicate interpretation of the songs made them famous and attracted everyone's crazy... ...
Can I dance for you again? This question is so heartbreaking and tear-jerking. The fox demon and the scholar fell in love. Before they parted, the white fox hoped to dance for the scholar she loved deeply. What a broad mind...
So for a while, all the scholars present went crazy, and the most active among them were my uncle and other villagers.
When the event, which lasted for several days, came to an end, while his uncle Zhu Shouren and other villagers were still reminiscing about it and felt sorry for Zhu Ping'an for not having witnessed such a grand event, Zhu Ping'an had already set foot on the land of Kaoshan Town.
In the courtyard of Zhu Ping'an's home in Xiahe Village, his mother Chen was busy drying fungus, wild mushrooms and other wild game in the yard, humming an out-of-tune country tune as she worked.
"Mom. Why are you drying so much? Aren't we going to take them to town to sell tomorrow?" After Zhu Pingchuan entered the house, he saw his mother hanging up to dry the wild game, including wood ear mushrooms and other game that he brought back from the mountains yesterday. He couldn't help but ask in confusion.
"Your brother loves to eat it." Mother Chen said without even raising her head.
Hearing this, Zhu Pingchuan's face turned bitter, "Mom, you should also take care of your son."
Chen said angrily, "I want to control you, but you have to give me a chance. You are not at home all day and you haven't even married a wife yet."
Zhu Pingchuan blushed and smiled, "Mom, I remember that I dug up a wild ginseng last time I went to the mountain. My brother is tired of reading books, so I will give him some nourishment when he comes back."
"Come on, you should keep it for your Juan'er."
Chen was flipping through the dried wild mushrooms and making sarcastic remarks to Zhu Pingchuan.
"Juan'er doesn't need it." The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan said in a low voice.
When Chen heard Zhu Pingchuan's muttering, her face changed immediately, and she grabbed Zhu Pingchuan and started to scold him. "What, Dachuan, tell me again, what do you mean by this sentence, that Juan'er doesn't need it so she wants to give it to your brother?"
"No, mother, that's not what I meant..." Zhu Pingchuan was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. As soon as he started picking wild ginseng, he thought of his younger brother. There was no other meaning in what he said just now.
"No!" Chen didn't care, "I think that's what you mean."
"Mother... Mother, I really wasn't right. I was thinking about my little brother from the very beginning." Zhu Pingchuan was just like his father, not good at speaking. He kept repeating these few words over and over again, and no one knew how to explain it.
"What do you mean mother? Go find a wooden box to put the wild ginseng away. If it goes bad, you'll have bad luck." Mother Chen glared at Zhu Pingchuan and said unhappily.
"Hey, hey." When the eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan heard his mother's words, he knew that she had calmed down, so he ran into the house happily to put down the wild ginseng.
After Zhu Pingchuan put the wild ginseng away, he came out to help Chen dry the mushrooms. Chen was happy to have her eldest son help her, and she sat aside to drink water.
Chen poured two bowls of water and was about to drink one bowl when she heard the bell on the neck of her big black cow ringing outside the door.
So Chen couldn't sit still anymore.
"Zhu Shouyi, why did you go back when there are many people going to the market today to make money? Do you know that you can earn so much money this time..." Chen stood up and walked out, her voice full of energy, as if she was going to ask for an explanation. It was heartbreaking, he could earn dozens of dollars this time, Zhu Shouyi, this loser!
Chen walked to the door and suddenly stopped talking.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Zhu Pingchuan, who was drying wild mushrooms, heard his mother's powerful voice suddenly stop. Thinking something had happened, he hurried out to check.
Then, I saw my mother standing at the door with a very happy look on her face, and I was so happy that I couldn't say anything.
Looking outside again, he saw Zhu Ping'an standing at the door with a silly smile on his face and shouted, "Mom, brother, I'm back."
His father was holding Zhu Ping'an's bag in one hand and looking at Chen with a flattering expression.
Zhu Shouyi looked at Chen with a silly smile on his face, and took Zhu Ping'an's bag in front of him as if to seek credit, and it was obvious: Last time I didn't get the bag for Zhu'er, you slapped me, you won't hit me again this time, will you
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Mother Chen looked at Zhu Ping'an with tenderness and pride in her eyes.
Then he looked at Zhu Shouyi who was holding the bag, and his face suddenly fell again.
Snap
Mother Chen slapped Zhu Shouyi's big shoulder again, the sound was very crisp, and at the same time, Mother Chen's iconic Hedong Lion's roar rang out again:
"Zhu Shouyi, how can you be a father? Didn't you see that my son is studying hard outside and has become skinny due to hunger? You didn't even know how to cut a piece of meat for him when he came from town? My son came all the way here, and you didn't even think of making a hot meal for him!"
I have already got the bag. I can also buy meat at the village entrance. Also, I haven’t noticed how thin Erxiao is. He even has some fat on his face.
But this was just a thought. Zhu's father didn't dare to say it. He looked at Chen with a wronged expression.
Chen glared again.
"I'll go buy it right away."
Father Zhu held the luggage in his arms, how could he dare to complain? Once Chen glared at him, Father Zhu could only smile foolishly and look at Chen in a flattering manner.
"I'll go, I'll go." The eldest brother Zhu Pingchuan rushed to the village entrance first, took two steps and stopped, and asked Zhu Pingan, "Brother Zhu, what else do you want to eat?"
"Just buy some meat. I like to eat anything my mother cooks." Zhu Ping'an shook his head and took the opportunity to please his mother.
"You just talk sweetly." Chen said this, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face. (To be continued.)
