Chapter 7 The Lantern Festival
The courtyard is built with blue-gray bricks and stones, and the house inside is a tile-roofed house built with large blue bricks. The autumn sunshine shines on the tile-roofed house, making it look bright and elegant.

This is a very nice house.

After all, ordinary people don’t have the spare money to build a house with blue bricks.

After the common people use a year's harvest to pay taxes, they still have to keep some for their own consumption and sell it to make money to buy oil, salt, meat, cloth and other things.

If someone in the family wants to study in the imperial examination, it will be another huge expense.

Therefore, houses are usually built with yellow mud, and the roof is not made of green tiles. Instead, straw is put on the roof and pressed down with heavy objects such as wood.

Entering from the gate, you can see some fine golden osmanthus flowers falling on the ground, and a well standing in the middle of the yard.

Next to the door, there is a thigh-thick osmanthus tree.Now is the time when the sweet-scented osmanthus is in full bloom. Before entering the yard, everyone could smell the rich sweet fragrance of the sweet-scented osmanthus.

Although the yard is not big, it is distinguished by the word "clean". Presumably, this is the reason why Mr. Zhao often arranges for the shop assistants to clean it.

Like a jumping rabbit, Su Bu jumped to the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, picked the top branch of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and said with a surprised smile to Su Bu:

"Sister, look! My second brother picked the biggest and most fragrant osmanthus on this tree for you! I'll put it in your house later. The dreams you have when you sleep at night will definitely smell of osmanthus!"

Before Su Bujing could speak, Su Buyou next to him said loudly: "Huh! Second brother only knows how to brag. Obviously I picked the most fragrant branch! Sister only wants mine!"

With that said, Su Buyou hurriedly picked a yellow and rotten osmanthus flower from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, and gave it to Su Buyou before Su Buwei could.

Su Bujing:...

Su Buwei scoffed mercilessly: "Tch, that stick you are holding is no match for mine! Sister, take it, wait for it to dry and put it in your purse. It will be fragrant wherever you go!"

With that said, Su Buwei jumped down from the tree and carefully picked out a slightly yellowing osmanthus flower for Su Buyou: "Take it, don't say that second brother is partial!"

Su Buyou muttered: "Humph, you are not partial, I am partial! The second brother is the worst!"

Next to him, Su Buyi consciously patted Su Buwei on the shoulder, smiled and pointed to the top of the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and said, "I also want a branch of sweet-scented osmanthus. Please trouble my second brother. By the way, pick more."

Su Buwei:...

He understood, he was destined to be enslaved!The whole family bullied him!

Su Buwei climbed up the tree resignedly, threw the brilliant osmanthus blooming on the tree to Su Buyi with quick eyesight, and then shook the osmanthus tree.

Scattered, as if it was raining sweet-scented osmanthus, golden.

Su Bujing, who was under the tree, caught a full pot.

While Su Buwei and Su Bujing were picking sweet-scented osmanthus, Su Yuanshan led Su Buyi and Su Buyou to clean the yard neatly. After wiping the dust, Su Buyi took a few big bucks to the town to buy firewood. went.

Mrs. Zhao led the cow into the yard, put the luggage on the cart into the house, and simply spread the bedding on the kang.After patting the dust, he picked up the mugwort in the cabinet in the back room and lit it.

After everything was cleaned up, everyone sat in the main room. After a while, Su Buyi came back.

Su Buyi bought a load of firewood from outside and came back. He was carrying it in his left hand, and in his right hand he also held a silver gauze lantern with a soft white rabbit painted on it.

As soon as he entered the room, Su Buyi said to Su Bujing who was sitting there: "Sister, take it, it will look really nice when you light it up at night!"

With that said, he carried the firewood into the kitchen, fetched a few buckets of water from the well in the yard, and put them into the pot to heat hot water.

The virtuous Su Bujing sighed secretly and bit his handkerchief: Brother is so reliable!
Su Yuanshan waved: "Okay, just light the firewood and come over. I still have something to say."

Su Buyi came over quickly.

When Su Yuanshan saw that the whole family had arrived, he cleared his throat and said, "This house has been cleaned. However, there are only three rooms in the house. When night comes, Dad and Buyou will have one, and Buyi and Buyou will have one." The only room I have is for you and your mother-in-law, okay?"

"No! Wow...I want to room with Sister!" Su Buyou started shouting at the top of his lungs again.

After being gagged by Su Buwei, he looked at Su Bujing pitifully, with desire shining in his eyes.Su Bujing looked away and said, "Dad, I want to sleep alone."

As long as she sleeps alone, she can enter the Immortal Mansion at night to practice. Even if she does not enter the Immortal Mansion, she can still meditate.

This time, Su Bujing's proposal was opposed by the whole family.

It was nothing more than worrying that she was not used to sleeping alone, and they would be worried if no one was around to take care of her.

Su Bujing promised again and again that if he was scared or not used to it, he would shout "Auntie, Auntie", and then he settled down.

Except for Su Buyou who was still shouting, Su Buyi and Su Buwei were quickly suppressed.

Next, everyone took a shower one by one. Zhao and Su Yuanshan went to the shop in the town to check their accounts. The children sat leisurely in the yard, admiring the sweet-scented osmanthus and chatting.

In the evening, Su Yuanshan and Mrs. Zhao took the children to a restaurant in the town for dinner.

Su Bujing held Su Buyi's hand with her left hand and the rabbit gauze lantern Su Buyi bought for her with her right hand, looking around happily.

Su Buwei kept buying snacks for Su Bujing, such as candied haws, glutinous rice cakes, sesame balls, biscuits, and plum soup.

He ate whatever Su Bujing couldn't eat, and from time to time he would also stuff some for Su Buyi and Su Buyou, who were holding Su Bujing's hand.

Mrs. Zhao said helplessly: "Eat less snacks, we will have to eat later!"

Su Yuanshan smiled and patted Su Bujing, who was eating happily. The whole family looked happy.

After arriving at the restaurant, the family had dinner and looked through the window of the restaurant to see the dim lights in the distance.

Dots of lanterns are dotted under the curtain of the dark night, like dazzling gems, making this world of lights unreal.

On the street, you can still see from a distance a young man and a beautiful young lady looking at the lanterns side by side. The young lady's reddish face is really more beautiful than the lanterns.

The little boy was riding on his father's neck, pointing at the candy painting stall and smiling, his smile sweeter than candy.

An old couple expressed their hopes in front of the lanterns. What would they be?Prosperity of wealth?Good health?Will the children and grandchildren prosper?
Su Bujing looked at everything in front of him blankly.

In her last life, she devoted herself to cultivation and pursued the great path, which made the entire world of cultivation know her name.

Her eyes only wanted to see the majesty of the sky that day.

But they forget that the wonderful life on earth is happening every day.

She only needed to look down and lean over to get it.

Listening to the bickering and laughter of Su Buyou and Su Buwei, listening to Su Yuanshan and Zhao's family feud, listening to the warm and caring voice of eldest brother Su Buyi...

All of this made Su Bujing feel that his heart, which had been empty for many years, was slowly being filled with something unknown.

It's warm and swollen, what is it?

Su Buying didn't know.

She only felt that she had a moment of enlightenment.

Late at night, Su Bujing and her family returned to the Osmanthus Courtyard. After washing, she carefully hung the rabbit gauze lantern that Su Buyi bought for her on the wall of her room.

She could see it as soon as she opened her eyes while lying on the bed.

Then, Su Bujing took out the broken spirit stone from before, went into the Immortal Mansion to get five more broken spirit stones, placed them in front of him in a super small spirit gathering array, and started practicing.
