The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 176 Flower Market Lights Like Day

Su Shi, Fat Aunt, Haitang and a few boys are all standing at the gate. What does this mean?Is there a group trip to Jingjia Village?

Jingli was still calling the old man: "Master, why don't you go to the city with us?"

Mr. Jing smiled and waved his hand: "I'm not going, I'm not going. Spring plowing is about to begin. In the past two days, your uncle and the others have quickly measured out the fields over there and given out the fields that should be given to others. People in the province are worried about the weather, so we can arrange farming."

What are you going to do in the city? There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and the fields are the big deal. When I think that the old boy has eaten so much good land, and now it all belongs to people like him, several old men and women will wake up laughing when they fall asleep.

Mr. Jing then told Su and the others: "Don't be idle when you go, see if there are any suitable seeds or anything like that, and buy some back."

Jing Li ignored Huo Shen's dark face and smiled: "Grandpa, don't worry. I asked someone to find good seeds. They will arrive in a few days. Don't worry about it."

As for what to plant, of course, crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes with extremely high yields should be grown. Other necessary foods must also be grown scientifically.

As for where this seed came from, Jingli had already thought about it. He had been running around the city for the past two days, and it was naturally given to him by the omnipotent and pervasive Suminglou!

The group made various arrangements at the gate of the hospital and made arrangements for a long time before setting off. By the time they arrived at Chang'an City, it was already dusk.

Su frowned and said, "I told you to go out early, but you insist on sleeping in. It's almost dark. When will you go home?"

Before Jingli could speak, Huo Shen smiled and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I've arranged for the inn. We'll stay in the inn tonight. The lantern festival starts at night, so there's nothing good to see during the day." .”

Jing Li glanced at him. This man was very quick and had made arrangements quickly. It must be difficult to find an inn on the Lantern Festival.

After the group settled at the inn, Chen Zhongyu came over: "Auntie, dinner has been arranged. After dinner, we will go to the lantern festival!"

Su and the others felt very sorry: "How can I bother you, General Chen? There are so many of us. Isn't this bad?"

Chen Zhongyu said respectfully: "Auntie, you're welcome. I don't have any friendship with Quanzi. It's a rare visit for you guys. If you don't let me make arrangements, how can I be embarrassed to get along with Quanzi in the future?"

The food was served quickly, and the waiters brought tea, water, and hot towels to everyone. The waiters were considerate and attentive.

Su and the others felt a little uncomfortable after being treated so warmly. They felt that eating was a bit painful. After finally finishing the meal, the whole family hurriedly went to the street to watch the lantern festival.

Jingli called Da Lang: "You and Er Lang are holding Xiao Zhan and San Lang. There are many people on the street today. Don't turn around and find someone if you get lost."

Haitang took the lead with Su and the others, while Jingli and Huo Shen escorted them behind. The group went to the main venue of the lantern festival in a grand manner.

During the Lantern Festival in Chang'an City, the flower market is lit up like daylight, with all kinds of strange-shaped lanterns, lantern riddles set up by wealthy households, etc. The streets are crowded with people, making people instantly forget all the injustices outside and feel that the world is prosperous. It's nothing more than this scene.

This was the first time for Su and others to see such a grand scene, and their eyes were almost overwhelmed. No wonder people were trying to squeeze in to the city. This city was different after all.

The group of people was so mesmerized by this bustling scene that they did not notice that the two people following them had disappeared.

Huo Shen tentatively held Jingli's hand through his sleeve. Seeing that Jingli didn't pull away, he immediately held the girl's whole little hand in his palm.

Huo Shen led her to the stall selling masks, gave Jing Li a fox mask, and put on a wolf head mask himself, and then the two of them walked down the street holding hands in a swaggering manner.

Jing Li asked in a low voice, "Wouldn't this be said to be immoral?" Huo Shen laughed softly and said, "Today is a festival for men and women to meet in Japan. Do you think there are not many young lovers on the street?"

Only then did Jing Li notice that on the street, there were many boys and girls wearing masks holding hands, as if they were very affectionate. The folk customs in Dafeng Dynasty were quite open!

"The answer to the riddle must be Hongzi! Right?" A young man holding a plum blossom lantern asked the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper hurriedly replied with a smile: "Exactly! The young master is very knowledgeable. Many people didn't guess it, but the young master gave it to me. The answer to the mystery is revealed!”

The young man shyly handed the plum blossom lantern in his hand to the woman next to him. The woman wore a rabbit mask and lowered her head slightly. She was also very shy, and her affectionate look made others envious.

Jingli watched curiously as these normally polite gentlemen were dating. Without the various shows of later generations, these people still had their tricks up their sleeves.

When Huo Shen saw her looking at him intently, he thought he was envious of him, so he turned around and went to another shop. They were also guessing lantern riddles over there, and many people had gathered. It was obviously a difficult task.

"Looking south to the lone star and the rising moon. What does looking south mean?" A scholar struck the handle of his fan and thought hard on his palms.

"Could it be that the crescent moon of Lone Star is the main attraction?" The girl wearing the mask frowned.

"Zhuang!" Huo Shen shouted the answer to the riddle and motioned to the store owner to get the glazed octagonal phoenix tail lamp.

The scholar next to me said displeasedly: "Brother, the store has not yet said whether the answer to the riddle is correct? You just took out the lamp. Isn't it too hasty?"

Huo Shen gave the scholar a cold look. The scholar suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and had no choice but to lower his head and dare not say any more words.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young Master is very knowledgeable, and the answer to this riddle is exactly the word Zhuang."

Huo Shen turned around and gave the glazed lamp to Jing Li. Jing Li took it with a smile, her face beaming with joy. She couldn't tell that her prospective boyfriend actually had some literary talent.

The corners of Huo Shen's mouth were slightly raised. The bright lanterns were not as bright as the girl's sparkling eyes. Her curved eyebrows instantly made him want to give her all the lanterns on this street.

"Enough, enough!" Jing Li held several lanterns in her hand and freed up one hand to hold Huo Shen. A few of these lanterns are enough, any more would be boring.

Huo Shen then stopped, took the lantern from Jing Li's hand, and the two of them went to the river where the wishing lantern was placed.

Seeing the two people leaving, the young talents around him were obviously relieved. They finally went out to play with their sweethearts for a while, but their limelight was robbed. No one else was happy.

"Wait a minute, I want to make a candy man!" Jing Li approached the old man who was making a candy man: "Uncle, can you make one just like me?"

The old sugar man laughed and said: "Of course it's possible!"

Huo Shen squeezed forward: "Pinch two, and pinch one like me!"

The old candy man was smiling from ear to ear. This young man was not the only one who pinched candy men like this. He had pinched many little lovers.

The cunning little fox and the cold wolf king handed it over. Jing Li was about to reach out to take it, but Huo Shen took it over first and handed the wolf king to her: "This is yours, this is mine!"
