Nanmiao does not just refer to a temple, but to an old street in the south of the city, where old-style buildings are preserved. Of course, there is also a Guanyin Temple at the end of the road.
In the past, many vendors held temple fairs along the old streets, and their stalls could span two miles.
It has been lonely over the years, but brand-new shops have been rebuilt nearby. In order to start business here, the city government is very supportive, and this lantern festival is organized by the city government.
Newspapers and radios have been advertising since years ago to attract attention.
Yun Qiao was still wondering last time whether Uncle Qi would invite her.
"Okay." After receiving the invitation, she immediately agreed without being pretentious.
I originally wanted to go.
"What do you want to buy?" Xi Lanting asked her again, "Don't forget it then."
"We go to the temple fair just to buy some food, and we try whatever we haven't eaten before," Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting: "You are shopping with me now. We are not children. Are you so greedy?"
Yun Qiao: "I'm not greedy."
Xi Lanting gave her a look and let her experience it for herself.
Yun Qiao gritted her teeth slightly.
After making an appointment to watch the lantern festival, the topic of how important Xi Lanting's identity was in the Xi family was completely bypassed, and no one looked back to mention it.
Xi Lanting asked Yun Qiao to play chess with him.
The two of them talked about the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival again.
Xi Lanting said this was boring. In previous years, he stayed in the yard reading books and was too lazy to go out. He asked Yun Qiao whether the Lantern Festival temple fair in the countryside was fun.
Yun Qiao thought it was quite interesting, so she told him everything.
She also told an interesting story about how she, Cheng Li and Cheng Yin visited the temple fair during the Chinese New Year in Guangzhou one year.
In addition to anecdotes, there is also a thrilling thing.
"...In the blink of an eye, Cheng Yin disappeared. My second brother and I were scared to death." Yun Qiao said about the incident, "Do you know where she was hidden?"
"Where to hide?"
"In the wine barrel where the wine is sold. The barrel is specially made, with only a shallow layer on top and a hollow bottom. When Ren Yazi saw the beautiful girl, he fainted and hid inside, but no one could find her."
Yun Qiao said.
After hearing this, Xi Lanting said calmly: "Every year at the big temple fair, some people lose their children."
"Yes, these people are so hateful." She said, "After that, Cheng Yin never visited temple fairs again, and he still doesn't dare to go.
It was the second brother who was smart at the time. He was very sure that Cheng Yin had not gone far, even though Ren Yazi had already disappeared. He asked his followers to surround the square and sent someone back to call the servants."
Xi Lanting listened and nodded: "Cheng Li is brave and resourceful."
Yun Qiao often hears others praise Cheng Li.
"He owns half of the Cheng family's business, so he is naturally very powerful and well-informed." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting nodded.
Guangzhou is very nice, and he also said that the Cheng family treats Yun Qiao very well.
As Yun Qiao listened, she felt as if she was going to be married to Guangzhou by Xi Lanting, and she couldn't help but frown slightly.
She thinks the second brother Cheng is very good, like her father, and there is no relationship between men and women. The second brother Cheng is much older than her, and he looks like an elder in terms of personality and age.
"...The Cheng family has a good reputation in Guangzhou and has a good relationship with the military government." Xi Lanting added, "It has a stable foundation and understands what the people want. If the world is stable, this is a family that can be passed down for hundreds of years."
Yun Qiao nodded again and asked: "Uncle Qi, why are you praising the Cheng family to me? That's not my family."
Xi Lanting paused and said in a casual tone: "You can boast as much as you like. If you don't have anything else to say, just look for something to talk about."
Not distracted at all.
Yun Qiao: "..."
Do you dislike me for not having anything to talk about?
