Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 266 The Lantern Festival

Zhang Neng packed lightly and carried only a burden on his back. When Ji Xun, Shen Yuan and others arrived, he was waiting at the gate of the yamen with his horse, and Ji Xun's family's carriage was parked beside him.

A group of people rode horses and drove carriages to the outside of the city.

Coming to the official road outside the city, Zhang Neng got off his horse, and Shen Yuan and others also got off the carriage.

"Master Zhang." Shen Yuan held a handmade spice bag and brought it to Zhang Neng, "This spice bag contains more than a dozen medicinal herbs. If you carry it with you, it can remove dampness and cold."

"Yo~~ How does Miss Shen know that I'm afraid of the cold? Thank you!" Zhang Neng accepted the sachet with a smile, and put it close to his body like a treasure.

"Master Zhang, take care all the way, there will be a period later." Shen Yu'an's voice choked up. During this period of time, he respected Zhang Neng like an elder brother. Today, we don't know if we will see each other again.

Zhang Neng smiled and said: "Hey~~ Girl Shen, don't be sad, we will have a chance to meet again in the future." The women around the Night King have many opportunities to meet.

"En." Shen Yuan answered while sniffling, taking it as comfort.

Zhang Neng squatted down in front of Ji Feng, helped him fasten the loose cape, and pinched his little face.

"Ah Feng must study hard and practice martial arts well. When he is successful in the future, he must thank his brother and sister-in-law. Do you hear me?"

"Ah Feng heard it." The little guy's eyes were full of determination, "Ah Feng will definitely make a name for himself in the future, and repay his elder brother and sister-in-law for their kindness in nurturing him."
"Ah Feng is capable." Zhang Neng rubbed the seeds of Ji Feng's little head, and looked at Ji Xun, "Mr. Ji takes good care of Mrs. Shen, and we will meet later."

Ji Xun nodded slightly, "There will be a period later!"

"Xingwang, make good money!" Zhang Neng went over and patted Shen Xingwang on the shoulder: "If you earn money, marry a wife earlier, and then show off your affection in front of your brother Ji Xun to make him jealous."
"Hey~~ Okay!" Shen Xingwang scratched the back of his head and handed the rein to Zhang Neng, "Master Zhang, have a good journey."

Zhang Neng took the reins and got on his horse, "Go back, we will meet again." After speaking, he clamped his horse's belly and galloped away towards the capital.

Seeing Zhang Neng's figure completely disappear at the end of the avenue, Shen Yuan and the others returned to the city.

After entering the city, he went directly to Tai'an Street, and drove the carriage from the alley into the backyard of the brothel that had just been sold.

"Brother, sister-in-law, did you just buy this house?" Ji Feng walked into the courtyard with his eyes widened in surprise.

The gazebo and fish pond garden in the backyard are like mansions compared to the small courtyards in Shenjia Village.

Of course, the most important point is that from the backyard, it is completely impossible to see that this is originally a brothel, let alone the scene on Wanhua Street, it is simply amazing!
"That's right, that's right, just got it, Afeng will study in the county from now on." Shen Yuan happily held Ji Feng's hand, "Come and see with my sister-in-law, you live here, brother and sister-in-law live there." While talking, he led Ji Feng to the wing room.

"60 taels of silver for such a good restaurant, Brother Ji Xun, you are too good." Shen Xingwang looked at Ji Xun and smiled honestly.

"It's really good." Ji Xun was also very satisfied.

Today, during the Lantern Festival, at the request of Ji Feng, I stayed in the county to watch the excitement, and I still lived in the inn the night before. The building that was just completed needs to be remodeled, and it is currently uninhabitable.

The carriage was parked, the horses were unloaded, and there was a pool next to it, and some fodder was bought, so as not to be hungry or thirsty.

After finishing these arrangements, the four of them walked out of Tai'an Street, looking for a place to have lunch.

"Find a good restaurant and try their dishes." Ji Xun said.

"Yeah, listen to your husband." Shen Yuan was obediently held by Ji Xun's little hand, and slowly strolled along the street.

It's meal time, and it's a festival, the streets are not usually lively, and the ears are full of various foreign languages ​​that they don't understand.The four walked from Wanfu street to the end of Wanfu street, and found that besides Zuixianlou, there was also a restaurant called Mankouxiang's business that was very good, so Ji Xun led everyone into this restaurant.

I found a suitable seat in the lobby and sat down. I called Xiao Er to order a few signature dishes in the restaurant. After the dishes were served, everyone tasted them. They all felt the taste of spices in their mouths. Sure enough, the restaurant is called "Mankouxiang". .

The taste is unsatisfactory, a bit better than other restaurants, but it is not a bit worse than the dishes made with Shen Yu'an space spring water.

The appearance is also very ordinary. Modern people pay attention to a complete 'color, fragrance', but the dishes cooked in this country are very lacking in 'color'.

The soup does not skim off the froth, causing the soup to become cloudy and smelly, and the color of the sugar is not fried, the color is dull and does not arouse the appetite.After eating this meal, Shen Yu'an became more confident in running a restaurant business.

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon when they came out of the restaurant, and the four of them went back to the inn to rest and recharge their energy for the Lantern Festival.

Dinner was settled in the inn, and each of them ate a bowl of Lantern Festival, the sweetness should be similar to what Shen Yuan made.After eating, the four of them came out of the inn. The street was already brightly lit and crowded with people, and the festive atmosphere was unprecedentedly strong.The pavements on both sides of the street are covered with all kinds of red lanterns, which are very happy and reflect peach blossoms on people's faces.

"Yuan and Afeng are prosperous, everyone, please hold hands, don't squeeze them apart." Ji Xun's voice was quickly drowned out in the hustle and bustle of voices.

The four of them were carried by the crowd to the south of the city. In the south of the city, there was a big banyan tree with ten people hugging each other. Under the shade of the tree which was more than [-] square meters, there were all kinds of beautiful lanterns, dazzling and shining like a fairyland.

A piece of red paper half the size of a palm was hung under each lantern, with lantern riddles written on it, dancing with the breeze.

Crowds are crowded under the lanterns, admiring the lanterns, guessing lantern fans, and the atmosphere is strong.

"I heard that the newly appointed magistrate has set up rewards, and all one to six people will get prizes." The tourists discussed enthusiastically.

"Isn't it? The prizes jointly provided by the county government and various merchants in the city are very generous. You have to try it."

"Come on, let's solve this lamp puzzle together: a dragon in the mud, a hood on its head, a gnarled body, full of small holes...

There were too many people, Shen Yuan was guarded by Ji Xun in front of him, while Shen Xingwang carried Ji Feng around his neck and carried him all the way.

"Ah Xun Ah Xun, let's guess the lantern fans too, how about a first prize?" Shen Yuan was very interested. She was in the countryside in the modern home, and later went to school and was in school again. It was the first time to participate in such a lively and interesting event. festival.

"Okay, it's up to you." Ji Xun embraced her shoulder from behind with his right hand, put his chin on the top of her head, stretched out his slender white hand and pulled a piece of red paper.

Read: "Leave as soon as you say it (type an idiom)"

"I know, I know." Ji Feng raised his little hand high, just about to say the answer, Shen Xingwang hurriedly stopped, "If you guess the answer, don't say it, take off the paper sign with the answer, and see the one over there. Is there no small stage? When the time comes, go over there to count, and the one with the most paper signs will be No.1.'
