During the Chinese New Year this year, due to the addition of Anguo Gongfu, there were more relatives and friends visiting the family than in previous years. From the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the uncle's house was very lively.
In this joyful and bustling atmosphere, Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yue'e felt lonely and regretful because Shi Dingxuan did not go home for the New Year.
"I wonder if Wulang is having a good time outside?"
"It must be good. We Wulang is not alone. He is accompanied by his wife."
"It's good to have a wife. Once you have a wife, you have a family. With a family, even if you are not with us, there will still be someone to love you."
Jin Yue'e looked at Shi Fuxin who was setting off firecrackers with Shi Dinghao in the yard, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Yin didn't celebrate the New Year with us this year. I'm really not used to it."
"Sister Xin will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year. In a year or two, she will leave us."
Speaking of the eldest daughter who married into Duke An Guo's mansion, and the younger daughter who has reached the age of marriage, Shi Zhenghe's mood also became depressed. Looking at his wife who was full of reluctance, he forced a smile to comfort him: "It's okay, we still have something to do.
Where is Kuro?"
"Wu Lang is on duty in the south. There is nothing we can do about it, but Jiu Lang is with us. When he gets married, you will have your daughter-in-law to accompany you."
Hearing this, Jin Yue'e had a smile on her face, and she discussed with Shi Zhenghe enthusiastically: "Master, what kind of girl do you think Jiulang likes?"
Shi Zhenghe thought for a while: "Jiulang's temperament is a bit out-of-the-box. I think a calmer girl would be more suitable for him."
Jin Yue'e nodded in agreement: "Jiulang works in the palace every day and has no chance to meet girls. I have to help him get a look."
On the day of the Lantern Festival, after breakfast and dinner, the girls and young men at home went out to play under the leadership of the uncle and grandma of the Shi family.
"There are many people watching the lanterns, so you have to take good care of your younger brothers and sisters."
Madam Shi had given her repeated instructions before allowing the children to leave the house.
It was still bright and Chang'an Street was crowded with people watching the floats.
Shi Dingrong booked a private room in the restaurant in advance. For safety's sake, as soon as he arrived at Chang'an Street, he took his younger siblings to the private room in the restaurant.
"There are too many people on the street. Instead of squeezing with people below, it is better to stand up here and watch. This way, the view will be wider."
Shi Fuxin felt bored sitting in the private room all the time, so she said to Shi Dingrong: "Brother, I want to go down for a walk."
Shi Dingrong hesitated.
Shi Dinghao quickly smiled and said: "Brother, I am accompanying the Sixth Sister."
"And me." Shi Dingxu quickly winked at Shi Dinghao, indicating that he also wanted to go for a walk.
Uncle Shi knew Shi Dinghao's skills and looked at him: "Then you must protect the sixth sister."
Shi Dinghao nodded hurriedly, smiled and left the restaurant with Shi Fuxin and Shi Dingxu.
Others were a little moved when they saw it, but Shi Dingrong didn't allow it.
"Every year, there are several stampedes during the Lantern Festival. Jiulang and Sixth Sister are in trouble, so I dare to let them leave. You just stay in the private room."
"These lanterns on the street are the same every year. It's not interesting to see them too much." Shi Dingxu felt that the lanterns were not interesting.
Shi Dinghao said: "Looking at the lanterns is just one thing. We are mainly here to feel the lively and festive atmosphere. Look at the smiles on the faces of these people on the street, don't you think they are also very happy?"
Shi Dingxu really looked at the expressions of the people around him seriously, and then shook his head: "I don't even know these people. Whether they are happy or not has nothing to do with me."
Shi Dinghao glanced at him sideways: "You are really boring." After saying that, he ran forward to talk to Shi Fuxin, "Sister, why are you not happy?"
Shi Fuxin: "Watching lanterns alone is a bit boring."
Shi Dinghao glared: "Why are you watching the lanterns alone? Aren't Juro and I accompanying you?"
Shi Fuxin glanced at him: "People are different." As she said that, she looked at the man and woman walking in front of her, holding side-by-side lotus lanterns in their hands.
The man racked his brains to make the girl happy, and the girl was so amused that she covered her mouth and laughed. Every time he saw the girl smile, the man also smiled and grinned.
There were so many people around, but these two people only had each other in their eyes.
Looking from a distance, one can feel the bubble of dividends between the two.
But she is a single dog.
Shi Dinghao noticed that his sister always looked at the people in front of her, thinking that she liked the lanterns in other people's hands, and said with a smile: "Sister, there are people in front of you who are guessing lantern riddles. I will go and win one for you later."
Shi Fuxin was a little uninterested: "You send me lanterns every year, and I feel numb." She sighed, "It would be nice if someone else gave it to me!"
Shi Dinghao: "."
Sixth sister, what does this mean?
Dislike him?
"Sixth Sister, Ninth Brother, look quickly, isn't that Sister Fuzhi?"
Shi Dingxu suddenly came up and pointed at a few people not far away and exclaimed.
Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao looked over, their expressions fluctuating.
Li Fuzhi!
Shi Dinghao glanced at the man in brocade who was standing with Li Fuzhi, pulled Shi Fuxin and Shi Dingxu around and went to another street.
"The person standing with Li Fuzhi is the fourth prince."
When Shi Fuxin heard this, her expression moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
Shi Dingxu couldn't help it anymore: "Why do Sister Fuzhi and the Fourth Prince behave so intimately?"
Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao looked at each other and did not answer.
Li Zhengkun lost his official position, and the family engaged to Li Fuzhi wanted to break off the engagement. Later, the Zeng family daughter's prince died, the Zeng family lost power, and Li Fuzhi was broken off.
After that, they all had their own things to do, and they were too lazy to pay attention to the Li family anymore.
They really don't know how Li Fuzhi met the fourth prince.
"Tokikuro!"
There was a sound of strong wind behind him, and Shi Dinghao turned around fiercely, punched out, and met the person's fist squarely.
"Oh, it hurts me so much, Shikuro, you want to murder your relatives and friends!"
Young Master Zhao bared his teeth and shook his arms, staring angrily at Shi Dinghao.
Shi Dinghao looked at him with disgust: "You are looking for a fight on your own, and you don't even know what the occasion is. My sister is still here, what should I do if I scare her?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Young Master Zhao looked at Shi Dinghao blankly, then glanced at Shi Fuxin who was hiding behind Shi Dinghao, looking at him weakly, and reached out to pat her.
On his forehead.
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced by you siblings."
Shi Fuxin then came out from behind Shi Dinghao with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you are indeed too rash. I was really a little scared."
Young Master Zhao looked at Shi Fuxin and turned his head away silently.
If he hadn't tried to tease Sister Xin once and had the experience of being kicked into the pool by her, he would never have been able to believe that such a delicate girl could be so cruel!
Shi Dingxu smiled and greeted Mr. Zhao, and the four of them walked down the street together.
"I just saw the Fourth Prince."
"By the way, did you know that Li Zhengkun, who stole his uncle's identity, betrothed his daughter to the fourth prince as a concubine?"
After hearing Young Master Zhao's words and thinking of the scene they just saw, Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao had already guessed it.
Young Master Zhao bumped into Shi Dinghao: "Looking at the fourth prince, he seems to like the girl from the Li family. You have a grudge against the Li family, so you'd better be careful."
After hearing this, Shi Dingxu said subconsciously: "Sister Fuzhi will not harm the Shi family."
Young Master Zhao glanced at him and shouted: "How did Brother Wulang leave the capital, have you forgotten?"
Shi Dingxu stopped talking and wrote this down in his mind, preparing to tell his grandparents as soon as he got home.
Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao didn't react at all. The soldiers came to block the water and cover up the soil. The Li family was able to climb up to the fourth prince, which was their ability.
"There are people playing fire breathing over there. I haven't been able to figure out what's going on. I must find out today. Let's go over and have a look."
Young Master Zhao and Shi Dinghao, Shi Dingxu walked in front, and Shi Fuxin walked behind.
After it got dark, floats began to parade on the street. The number of people suddenly increased, directly separating Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao.
Shi Fuxin could see the three of them watching the Spitfire, followed by Nanny Leng and Xiaofang, so she didn't squeeze through the crowd to join them, but instead watched the restaurant next to her guessing lantern riddles.
"Brother Yao, Fat Pomegranate is down there."
"There are so many people down there, Fat Pomegranate has been pushed to the side, how about I go and call her up?"
On the third floor of the restaurant, Chu Yao and Meng Moling stood in front of the railing, looking down at everything on the street.
Chu Yao glanced sideways at Meng Moling: "When did you become so considerate?"
Meng Moling smiled coquettishly: "Isn't this the money given by Fat Pomegranate to help the brothers below have a good year this year? We can take care of it if we can."
Chu Yao snorted: "You don't know where the money comes from?"
Meng Moling quickly flattered her and said, "Of course it's because Brother Yao is so wise and powerful. Fat Pomegranate is so slippery. You asked her to obediently give her money. What does this mean? It means that Fat Pomegranate can't get out of your palm, Brother Yao."
Chu Yao's face looked better. Just when he was about to say something, his expression turned blank.
On the street, a lotus lantern was handed to Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin looked up along the lotus lantern with a stunned expression, and saw Mr. Fan Xiaohou who was handing the lantern, and his expression became more and more stunned.
Her round almond eyes, slightly parted red lips, and a look of surprise on her face, but her eyes shone with unabashed surprise.
Looking at the cute and innocent Shi Fuxin, Mr. Fan Xiaohou couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, then he once again put the lotus lantern in his hand in front of Shi Fuxin and let it go.
Shi Fuxin pointed at herself with her index finger: "Given it to me?"
Mr. Fan Xiaohou nodded with a smile: "I just saw the girl staring at this lotus lantern. I happened to guess the answer to the riddle of this lantern, so I borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha and gave them to the girl."
Shi Fuxin blinked her eyes. Was she staring at the lotus lantern just now? She was probably in a daze. However, this is not important anymore.
“I love this lamp!”
Shi Fuxin smiled and took the lantern, not forgetting to express her gratitude.
It could be seen that Shi Fuxin was really happy, and Mr. Fan Xiaohou couldn't help but laugh again.
In the restaurant, Chu Yao narrowed his eyes.
Meng Moling shook her head in a "tsk-tsk" tone: "Little girls love this."
Chu Yao turned to look at him: "Which one?"
Meng Moling pointed down at Shi Fuxin, who was smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed: "I'll accept the gift."
Chu Yao frowned and looked at Shi Fuxin downstairs with disgust: "It's not like she can't get the lanterns by herself, so why is she so happy?"
Meng Moling was a little speechless, but she patiently explained: "It's one thing to get it yourself, but it's another thing to give it as a gift."
"Yeah?"
Chu Yao touched his chin, thoughtfully.
Meng Moling took a look at Chu Yao's face: "Brother Yao, there are a few things I have wanted to say to you for a long time. Don't be unhappy after hearing this."
Chu Yao squinted over and said, "If you fart, hurry up."
Meng Moling: "I think it's time for you to learn some ways to please girls."
Chu Yao's eyes suddenly became sharp, and his face clearly said, 'He still needs to please the girl'?
Meng Moling took a deep breath again: "Brother Yao, think about it for yourself. If you had put more effort into getting Dongfang Yunrong's favor when you went to the Ming government to propose marriage, she would not have married the sixth prince later.
"
Chu Yao frowned: "I put a lot of thought into it."
Meng Moling sighed: "You are all focusing on how to force the Duke of Ming Dynasty to agree to the marriage, and you have not pleased Dongfang Yunrong at all."
After a pause, he said, "Brother Yao, you should learn from Brother Qian. Look at him, how good he is at pleasing girls."
Chu Yao's brows knitted into knots when he thought of Chu Qian personally going to a clothing and jewelry store to select women's products. He shook his head when he thought that he was about to be surrounded by fancy clothes and jewelry.
"Vulgar!"
Meng Moling felt tired: "Isn't this just to please the girl? Just be vulgar."
Chu Yao stopped talking and looked downstairs at Shi Fuxin who was smiling so sweetly that she followed Mr. Fan Xiaohou and walked forward.
In order to marry into the Fan family, Shi Liu also worked hard.
"Why are you pretending to be like this!"
Chu Yao didn't believe that a lantern could make Shi Liu's heart bloom!
Meng Moling looked at it and had a different opinion: "Maybe Fat Pomegranate is really happy?"
Chu Yao chuckled: "What do you know? Shi Liu is not an ordinary boudoir woman. She must be scheming."
Meng Moling looked at Shi Fuxin again. Fat Pomegranate was really smiling happily.
On the street, Shi Fuxin couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth as she watched Mr. Fan Xiaohou take the initiative to walk on the outside, trying to avoid pedestrians from bumping into her.
"Do you still want lanterns? If you want them, I will buy them for you."
"No, this lotus lantern is enough."
Suddenly, there was a loud noise ahead, and people on the street rushed out one after another.
The flow of people moved forward quickly, and collisions were inevitable. Mr. Fan Xiaohou carefully protected Shi Fuxin to the corner, supported the wall with one hand, and used his body to create a safe zone.
Shi Fuxin hid in the safe area, looking at Mr. Fan Xiaohou standing with his back to her, with stars shining in his eyes.
This year’s Lantern Festival feels much more interesting than in previous years!
In the restaurant, Chu Yao saw all this in his eyes. On the street illuminated by lights, Yuan Pomegranate's eyes were like stars.
At this moment, he could also feel the joy radiating from Shi Fuxin.
But he didn't understand.
Is Round Pomegranate afraid of these people on the street?
