Yipin Tianxia

Chapter 28

Huai'an is a small town, even if there is a Lantern Festival, it is not a very lively event.

It is nothing more than setting up a night market near the Queen Mother Temple where people used to go to the market, and hanging some lanterns to suit the occasion.Of course, some affluent families will also set up a few lantern riddles to make some lucky people laugh.

But in the eyes of Nianfu, these amusement facilities are all rotten, but in the hearts of people in this era, it is an annual event.From all over the country, as long as they can walk, all the people are dispatched, especially the young girls and young men, who look around with excitement, looking forward to some legendary love at first sight stories.

Hui Niang smiled and took over the burden of tofu flower from Ouyang's servants, and then pushed her daughter out, "Don't be stuck here, and go shopping with the young masters and ladies. This money is for you , buy what you like.”

Such a festive season is a good time to do business, so naturally Hui Niang would not miss it.I have already made two large barrels of steaming tofu flowers, together with a basket of lard cakes baked by my daughter, I just sold them to tourists at night and saved money for my daughter's dowry.

It's just that she is doing business here, but she doesn't want her daughter to suffer.Seeing that Nianfu refused to leave on the grounds that she was not safe alone, she thought her daughter was worried that Mr. Hu would come to make trouble again, and explained in a low voice, "Don't worry, there are many people at night, no one dares to make trouble in public, and how long will it take?" Haven't you seen that bastard come out to make trouble? I guess I've stopped thinking about it, mother is not afraid here."

Nianfu didn't want to leave yet, but little Cui Lin ran over friendly and took her hand, "Sister Mu, let's go play together, I also have money, look, there are three coins in total. Mom said you can buy candy Eat, I invite you to eat."

Uh... well, little lolita is the most lethal.Nianfu had no choice but to tell his mother to be careful, and then he started to visit the lantern market with a large group of people.

It was indeed a large group of people. Two foodies from Ouyang's family came out from Shi's family, and took Mother Hui and her daughter to pick up the Cui family's siblings. Of course, Miss Cui Qi was also indispensable among them.

She was angry all afternoon, and when Ouyang Kang came to pick her up, Miss Cui Qi's anger was almost gone.Think about it, if you don't go, others will go to play, so why can't she make it difficult for herself?

Therefore, the "magnanimous and sensible" girl Cui Qi decided not to be common sense with others, and came out still maintaining her dignified and elegant posture.Along the way, she still abided by the elder sister's demeanor and took care of Ouyang Qing enthusiastically, even her cousins ​​and sisters had to stand aside.

snort!Cui Heng smiled mockingly, and walked with his cousin at the end, not looking at the elder sister's "Feng Fan", but overhearing the conversation between the younger sister and Sister Mu.

"Sister Mu, the eggs you made today are really delicious."

"Really? Thanks."

"The meat is also delicious."

"Ha ha."

"Other dishes are also delicious."

Touch your head.

"Sister Mu, can you continue to do it tomorrow?" The little girl couldn't hide her little tail soon.

Nianfu thought to himself, if your family is rich, you can eat every meal.But she couldn't bear to let money hurt such an innocent little girl prematurely, so she just smiled, "But tomorrow isn't the holiday?"

The little girl was a little disappointed, "Is it only available during festivals?"

Nianfu nodded, "Sister's family only ate meat once today."

The little girl pouted, "I know, my cousin went to eat too."

Mentioning this, Nianfu couldn't help but want to pierce the villain in his heart.

Little Cui Lin suddenly asked again, "Sister Mu, do you want a portrait?"

Don't jump too fast on this topic.

The little girl smiled mysteriously, pointed at Cui Heng behind her, pulled her down and said, "My brother can draw a portrait, let him draw one for you."

Cui Heng was a little embarrassed, "A Lin, what are you talking about!"

But the little girl said very seriously, "Brother, please help my sister draw a portrait. Hang it in my room in the future, if I want to eat meat, I will see that my sister will not think so."

These words made people feel a little sad, and Cui Heng was speechless for a while, and Cui Heng felt even more uncomfortable.He went up to hold his younger sister and made an apology to Nianfu, "My younger sister is young and ignorant, please don't blame me."

Nianfu wanted to smile and say it was okay, but he couldn't.

Cui Heng was young and energetic, and he felt aggrieved in his heart when he said such words, and he couldn't help but regretted, "It's useless for me to be a seven-foot man, not to mention making meritorious deeds, and I can't even earn food and clothing for my family. What's the use?"

Nianfu was stunned for a moment, but Ouyang Kang took the words solemnly, "In the past, even a man like Han Xin couldn't support himself, but didn't he also become a marquis and worship minister later? Cousin, you are still young, how can you?" So self-deprecating? There are highs and lows in life. If you work hard, you may not have a chance to stand out, but if you even give up on yourself, what future is there? Let me put it bluntly, if it is difficult, Sister Mu is more difficult than you Thousands of times, but she can find a way to earn a meal for her family, why can't you?"

"Well said! Instead of being envious of Yu, why don't you retreat and get married? Nephew Heng, you are very good." Suddenly, a person smiled and looked over from the sedan chair, ha, it was Mr. Wu!

He had been to Cui's house before, Cui Heng knew of it, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute.But he looked at Ouyang Kang and asked, "How do you like the book I gave you?"

Ouyang Kang was even more pleasantly surprised. Knowing that the teacher was testing him, he respectfully answered a verse in the Three Character Classic, "That woman is smart, and you man, be a policeman."

Mr. Wu nodded, "Don't think these words are superficial. The more superficial the truth, the easier it is for people to ignore it. If you are familiar with this, read the history books when you go back. I will come to test you later."

Ouyang Kang hurriedly responded, and invited Mr. to go home.But Mr. Wu said with a smile, "How can you live up to such a festive night? Girl!" He suddenly smiled at Nianfu, "Next time I come, I will also try your meat, prepare it well! Also, your family The pancakes are good. There are also tofu flowers, I’ll make them all up. Your mother told me to go back with someone first, and let you play slowly, don’t worry.”

Seeing him take out a piece of lard cake from the sedan chair to show off, and there are servants behind him carrying his own tofu vase, Nianfu is very happy, and decides not to tell people that she has already smelled the fragrance of powder coming out of the sedan chair .

Anyway, old leftover men don't have wives, so why not spend the festive season with someone?

Nianfu refused to admit that his integrity had also fallen to the ground, and waved goodbye to Mr. Wu.

It's just that although Mr. Wu left, his two words remained in Cui Heng's heart, and he couldn't help but envy and sigh, "Cousin, you are so lucky to have such a good teacher. I heard that Mr. Wu's good friend, Ni Mr. Taiyu's paintings are also very good, but it's a pity that I don't have the chance to pay homage to him."

Although his family is known as a scholarly family, but they are poor, so naturally they dare not invite a master.Cui Heng can only study with his father, and he is self-taught in painting.

Ouyang Kang looked at his cousin sympathetically, and didn't want Sister Mu to suddenly say, "Master Cui, if you think so, you don't understand Mr. Wu's true meaning. There are people who hate the poor and love the rich in this world, but as a teacher, you always I hope that some of my disciples will be able to honor the lintel and pass on his mantle. If you really have the heart, why don't you ask that gentleman to try it? Even if you can't afford the tuition now, can't you afford it for the rest of your life? It's a shame, you How much is it worth at such a young age?"

Cui Heng was shocked by these words, Ouyang Kang looked at her again, patted his cousin on the shoulder, and whispered, "You might as well try it."

Not to mention how Cui Heng's words to Nianfu made his heart churn, Ouyang Qing and Cui Qi saw that they hadn't followed for a long time, and they were a little unhappy to rush there.

It turned out that Ouyang Qing had taken a fancy to a kid's bow and arrow who made a guessing game, but unfortunately he guessed it several times, but it was all wrong.Cui Qi couldn't do anything, so he called everyone to come forward.

In fact, the riddle is not difficult, Ouyang Kang thought for a while, and then he knew what it was.But he saw that the bow and arrow seemed to be quite lethal, and thinking about Ouyang Qing's lawless personality, he deliberately said that he couldn't guess.

Ouyang Qing quit, and Cui Qi wanted to buy it with money in order to coax him.

But the owner of the family saw her domineering look, but he didn't want to, "My family doesn't make a living from this, but it's just for the fun of the elders and villagers during the big festival. Who cares about your money?"

Cui Qi felt ashamed, and felt very boring.

After reading the blessing, he said disdainfully, "What's the point of this kid's wooden bow and arrow? If a man wants to play, he can play with a real bow and arrow to be majestic."

Having said that, Ouyang Qing felt that this pair of bows and arrows was meaningless again, so he put down his hands and walked away, and soon found other interesting things.

Ouyang Kang looked at those innocuous rewards and helped the little fat man guess a few. He was so happy that he couldn't help but smile again.It's just that if Cui Qi wanted to get close to him, he couldn't get close.

The little fat man looked disgusted, "You don't know how to guess riddles, what are you doing here?"

Miss Cui Qi, who had no place to display her demeanor as a elder sister, was lost, and when she lost, she resented Nianfu even more, thinking that it was all because of her that she lost Ouyang Qing's favor.

Seeing that everyone had guessed the riddle right, they came over to find fault, "Sister Mu, why don't you guess one? Oh, I almost forgot, you can't read, even if you can't read, how can you guess? What, Shall I read one for you?"

Hearing her laughing with her mouth covered, Nianfu really wanted to strangle her neck!

But what the dead woman said is right, she has been pretending to be illiterate, how can she guess the riddle?But if you don't know how to guess, you will be laughed at by this dead woman, and you may not be able to guess correctly.Oh oh, this feeling is really aggrieved, is it right?

Nianfu was complaining, but it was Ouyang Kang who was careful, noticed their movement, and gave her a quiet wink.

Nianfu looked over and saw a rebus drawn on the lantern of a family, and it was stated that whoever guessed correctly could take the copper coins on the plate below.

Nianfu stepped forward, and saw the blue sky and white clouds, willow trees and peach blossoms painted on the round lanterns, and dozens of birds, big and small.The painting is immature, as if it were done by a child.

Seeing her stepping forward to look at it, Cui Qi still taunted, "Do you understand this painting?"

Losers can't lose!Nian Fu squinted at her, "You know?"

Cui Qi wanted to show off, and said arrogantly, "Master, are you writing a poem, two orioles singing green willows, and a row of egrets going up to the blue sky?"

The host laughed and said, "Miss is very talented, but it's a pity that this painting is just a child's scribbles. Although there are blue sky and green willows on it, there are no orioles and egrets. This riddle was made by my grandmother. If someone guesses it, just come up and get the money." .”

Ouyang Kang coughed twice, turned his back on others, and secretly gestured to Nianfu.Read a blessing and take a look, what do you mean?Look up at the painting again, haha, she understands! (ps: When I talked about the dish of fried bean dregs yesterday, someone asked, and I couldn’t help but say a few more words. This dish is really delicious, and it is very healthy, and it is very effective for people with constipation. It just needs a lot of bean dregs, and Use gauze to pinch it very dry before frying. Put more oil, sauté the garlic, add bean dregs, add some chives and salt, it’s all right, you can add spicy food, you can also add a la carte stick, just pay attention not to have too many dishes, It tastes better if it has a lot of bean dregs, and it needs to be fried dry to be fragrant. If there is less bean dregs, you can only make coarse grain steamed buns or bread steamed buns. This can be regarded as the reward of foodies, haha! e="Chonghua"]
