Chapter 150 Flower Basket, Bamboo Fan

Shen Er saw that his young son did not have any psychological shadow of being abducted, so he felt relieved and praised: "My son is a little man."

 Brother Man’s lips curled up and he nodded solemnly.

 Yes, he is a little man!

 In the blink of an eye, it will be the day of the Lantern Festival.

The second wife of the Shen family estimated the time and came to the county.

 Find an inn first and plan to book a few rooms.

Who knows.

“It’s unfortunate that our guest came here. The inn happens to be out of room. Why don’t we go to other inns and ask?” the waiter said sheepishly.

Shen Er frowned, "It's gone so quickly."

“No, it’s rare to hold a lantern festival in our county. Many people came early in the morning.” The waiter explained.

 “That’s it, thank you very much.”

The Shen family left the inn, and Shen Er said: "Brother Gan, brother Kun, you two go to other inns and ask."

 “Hey!” the two brothers responded and went to ask.

Shen Er, his wife, daughter and son found a shop selling candy cakes and sat down.

 Not long after, Brother Gan and Brother Kun came back.

“Dad, there are no rooms left,” Shen Qian said.

Shen Nian was not worried about drinking the sweet soup with the flavor of jujube.

It's just a place to live. If it doesn't work out, she goes to Xiao's house to beg Uncle Wang.

As soon as this thought came to an end, the chubby Chef Wang led someone towards her.

“Girl, you’re here to see the lantern festival too.” Chef Wang said with a smile and greeted the rest of the Shen family.

After listening to their greetings, Shen Nian said, "I'm here to join in the fun."

“Young lady, you should come out more often.” Chef Wang said, pretending not to know and asked, “Has the girl booked a reservation at the inn?”

"No, the inns are full." The one who spoke was a depressed Shen Er.

Chef Wang's eyes flashed slightly and he said, "There are many rooms in the Xiao Mansion. If you don't mind, you can make do with it for one night."

 “Okay, thank you, Uncle Wang.” Shen Nian said generously.

The fat cook had a smile on his face, "You're welcome, girl! I'll prepare whatever the girl wants to eat tonight."

Shen Nian hasn’t had Uncle Wang’s delicious food in a few days, so she looked expectant and said, “Anything is fine.”

“Okay, then I’ll watch the preparations.” Chef Wang said.

He sent a letter to the Crown Prince about the rumors about the girl. It was coming soon. He didn’t know what the Crown Prince would think or what he would do...

 I hope the prince is not angry at all!

Shen Er and Li Xiuniang were very embarrassed to see their daughter being so ignorant, "Sorry to trouble you."

Chef Wang smiled calmly and said: "No trouble, no trouble. My master and Miss Shen hit it off immediately. When he left, he specifically asked me to take good care of Miss Shen."

Not wanting to delay the Shen family's time watching the lanterns, he then added: "I won't disturb you anymore, I'll go back first."

 After speaking, he slightly arched his hands, then turned around and left.

Shen Er looked at his back and sighed with emotion, "What a good man."

Shen Nian: "I don't associate with bad people."

 The implication is that anyone who can make friends with me is a good person.

At Xu time, it was dark.

 The lights on both sides of the street were turned on, and the lights were bright. Men, women, old and young were walking through it, giving off a worldly atmosphere.

Lamps were also hung on the trees by the river, reflecting the full moon in the sky, making the night look picturesque.

Shen Nian couldn't even see clearly.

 Seeing a group of people gathered in front of her, she took Shen Kun's arm and said excitedly: "Second brother, what's over there?"

 “Acrobat.”

"I want to see it." As she spoke, the little girl rushed forward in a hurry.

Shen Kun hurriedly followed, "Sister, don't run away, be careful if you get squeezed."

"I know." Shen Nian's clear voice came.

As he was rushing forward, he suddenly hit a wall.

Shen Nian was fine and stood firmly where he was. The person she hit took several steps back.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?" Shen Nian asked politely.

The person who was hit was a young man in green clothes. He had a handsome appearance, his eyebrows were as gentle as jade and pine, and the moon was bright and clear.

"No problem." The young man steadied his feet, looked up and saw Shen Nian, and said with a smile, "It's you."

Shen Nian looked at the young man up and down with a blank look in his eyes, "Do you know me?"

Wen Chengan was silent for a moment and reminded: "Flower basket, bamboo fan."

“So it’s you.” Shen Nian raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile.

 Actually, I still haven’t thought about it.

But listening to this, it must be a scholar who bought her things on the Double Ninth Festival.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t knock you out, right?”

Wen Chengan had a dark look on his face. He was not that fragile. "No."

 Watching the sideshow anxiously, Shen Nian breathed a sigh of relief when the man said it was okay, "It's okay if it's not. I'll leave first. Goodbye."

   After saying this, he hurriedly went to see the sideshow.

Shen Kun apologized to Wen Chengan again on behalf of his sister and hurriedly followed.

Wen Chengan saw the girl dancing and watching the sideshow from a distance, and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

“Cheng’an, what are you laughing at?” A young man came over and asked.

“Nothing, let’s go.” Wen Chengan took the lead and walked forward.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, the young man stopped asking and followed closely.

As he walked, he kept saying, "The lantern festival here is really boring. There are only so many people here, as if they have never seen the world."

Wen Chengan frowned and said in an unhappy tone, "Be careful what you say."

The young man saw that his expression was not right and immediately shut up. His expression was wilting.

Shen Nian didn't know about the little episode here. He watched the sideshow and listened to a book. After having fun, he planned to go home.

Li Xiuniang looked at her daughter's rosy little face and took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat. "It's getting hot after playing. Wipe the sweat quickly and take care to cool down."

"I'm in good health and won't catch a cold." As he said this, Shen Nian wiped his sweat obediently.

It was the first time for the Shen family to watch the lantern festival in such an organized manner, with joy on everyone’s faces.

Man Geer’s eyes were astonishingly bright, “Dad, I will come to the lantern festival every year from now on.”

 “Sure, I’ll bring you here.” Shen Er was a doting child, so he immediately agreed.

Shen Nian said at this time: "Next year I will go to Zhongdu to watch the Lantern Festival."

"Pfft!" Shen Liuhua laughed when she saw the second room of the Shen family approaching, "Sister Nian'er, you really dare to think about it. That's Zhongdu. Not just anyone can go there if they want to."

Shen Jie followed her. Hearing what his sister said, he frowned and reprimanded, "Liu Hua, why are you talking? Apologize to Sister Nian."

Shen Liuhua laughed at Shen Nian and felt happy. After hearing her brother's words, she suddenly couldn't be happy anymore.

“Brother, you are my brother, why do you have to be so obsessed with me?”

"Sister Nian is also my sister." Shen Jie said seriously, "You were the one who made trouble first, I won't tell you who you are talking about."

Shen Liuhua: "..." Whoever is looking for trouble would be wrong to tell the truth.

 The adults didn't mind the children's business, and a few adults were talking.

Shen Er: "Brother, have you booked an inn?"

"We haven't made a reservation yet. Brother Jie said we can spend the night at the carpenter's shop. What about you?"

“We also have a place to live.” Shen Er said with a smile.

 After chatting for a few words, seeing that it was getting late, the two parties separated.

After leaving, Shen Nian remembered that he didn’t seem to see Third Uncle and his family, so he asked, “Dad, didn’t Third Uncle and the others come to see the lanterns?”

"He said he would come. It's getting late now, so he should have gone back."

 “Oh, let’s go back too.”

"OK."

 Erfang and his family came to Xiao Mansion.

 Cook Wang was a little surprised to see them coming back so early, "Girl, why don't you hang around for a while?"

Shen Nian’s thoughts were still unfinished and he said, “There’s nothing good to see.”
