Chapter 454 Capital Lantern Festival

Seeing that Zhou Yuyan's mood improved slightly, Li Meier also smiled and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? We have known each other since we were young, and we are as close as anyone else. I still remember when I was young, my family was not well-off, and you would always give me some Give me beautiful flowers and delicious fruits. I will always remember it in my heart. Now I just listen to my sister, isn’t that what I should do as a younger sister? Now that I am in the capital, if my sister still wants to find someone Talk, just send me a message, if you have a sister who is free, you can come to my house more, I am not bad at making dim sum now, I can make some good ones for my sister to try."

After hearing Li Meier's words, Zhou Yuyan became more and more happy in her heart, and she couldn't bear to let go of her hand, "Then let's make an agreement, as soon as I am free, I will go to your place for snacks."

Li Meier responded with a smile, and she told some interesting things about her hometown to make Zhou Yuyan happy, which made most of her melancholy go away.

The two of them were talking, and the time passed unknowingly. When the sun went down, a servant girl by Lin's side came to pass the word, saying that it was getting late, and the master and wife of the Li family were about to leave.

Zhou Yuyan was very reluctant to part with Li Meier, and said with some complaints: "Father and mother are really, why don't you leave after dinner?"

Li Meier immediately said: "My uncle and aunt must have stayed, but my grandmother is at home alone, and there is a pair of younger siblings at home. My parents are worried, so they declined."

Zhou Yuyan didn't say anything, but reluctantly sent Li Meier out of the room. The two agreed to go to the Lantern Festival together on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and they separated.

When the family returned home by car, it was already dark.

Mrs. Li has already prepared dinner at home, and the group can eat it directly when they arrive.

At the dinner table, everyone talked about the situation of going to visit the New Year today. Mrs. Jiang said that the Jiang family and the Zhou family would have a treat in a few days, and asked Mrs. Li if she would go then.

Mrs. Li put a piece of fish into the bowl, and then she said slowly: "I must go to my in-laws' place, and our two families are also close, just a few steps away. As for Zhou's place, I won't go." , you guys go."

Mrs. Li doesn't like to hang out very much now, after all, she is not familiar with the capital, so it doesn't make much sense to hang out.

"Grandma, are you going to see the lanterns with us this year? I heard that the Lantern Festival in Beijing is very lively, and there are more lanterns than our hometown. Come with us to broaden your horizons." Brother Kang listened to Brother Zhang They talked about the grand events of the Lantern Festival in the past few years, so they are also very yearning for this year's Lantern Festival, and they asked Mrs. Li enthusiastically.

Apart from watching the theater, Mrs. Li didn't have much interest in this kind of lively scene, but when the eldest grandson asked this, she thought it over carefully before she declined: "Grandma is getting old and has no energy. If you can’t play with my eldest grandson, let your parents take you there.”

Brother Kang was a little disappointed, and said with a frustrated expression: "Grandma, I want to win you a lot of lanterns, so that you don't need to spend money to buy lanterns this year."

Hearing what her eldest grandson said, Mrs. Li's heart suddenly softened into a ball of cotton. She thought that she had just arrived in the capital and she really should go out for a stroll, so she patted her thigh and agreed: "Okay, since my eldest grandson is like this Having said that, then grandma will go with you."

Seeing her eldest son and mother-in-law flirting with each other, Jiang just smiled helplessly. She also hoped that her mother-in-law would go out for a walk more often, and the Lantern Festival lanterns only come once a year, so it would be a pity not to see them.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival. After eating glutinous rice balls at night, the family put on the brightest clothes and prepared to go out to watch the lanterns. This time Mrs. Jiang didn't go, and stayed at home to watch the twins.

The Li family first went to the Jiang family to reconcile with them, and together with Zhou Hanju and Zhou Yu who came from the Zhou family, the group set off in a mighty manner.

The Lantern Festival in the capital is indeed very lively and spectacular. The entire Xuanwu Street is decorated with lanterns. Looking at it at a glance, it is dazzling, making people feel like they are in the galaxy.

But this lantern is beautiful, but there are so many people. Before entering Xuanwu Street, people have already started to crowd and crowd. Li Yan and Jiang Yanzhi Zhou Hanju only cared about a few small ones to prevent them from being surrounded by the crowd. They were separated, and Mrs. Li held her eldest grandson's hand tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

Li Meier and Jiang Shanqing, the half-adults, are not too worried. The main reason is that Jiang Shanqing is very reliable. With him watching Li Meier, nothing will happen.

Soon, the two of them were separated from their families due to the growing crowd.

Jiang Shanqing finally found a place with few people, and took Li Meier there to rest temporarily.

The new clothes on Li Mei'er's body right now were already wrinkled, and the hairpin on her head was almost squeezed out.She couldn't help complaining aloud: "There are too many people here, I just focus on looking at the heads, but I didn't see a few lights."

Jiang Shanqing helped Li Meier tidy up the hairpins on her head, and said with a smile: "Today, at least half of the people in the capital have come out to look at the lights. Besides, there is no curfew tonight, so everyone has naturally come out. After all, this is the imperial city. It’s normal to have more people.”

He thought to himself, silly girl, she had never seen the Beijing city in his time, when it was a holiday, there were so many people that they couldn't even walk, so it was called too many people.

Li Meier tidied herself up, couldn't help sighing and said: "From this point of view, our state capital is better. Although it is not as lively as the capital city, at least we can have a happy stroll. With so many people now, I I don’t even feel like going shopping.”

Jiang Shanqing just smiled, "Let's find a teahouse to sit for a while, and I'll take you out after a while when there are fewer people."

Li Meier can do it if she thinks about it, and now it's rare that there are only her and Jiang Shanqing, and they just enjoy their time together.

The two found a teahouse that looked relatively high-end, thinking that there would not be too many people in such a place, but when they went in and asked, they found out that the entire teahouse had been taken over.

Li Meier was so tired that she just wanted to sit down and have a cup of tea, so she asked Xiao Er unwillingly, "Can you ask the person who booked the teahouse for us? We only need one table. It will bother them, and we can pay double for the tea."

The little waiter showed a look of embarrassment, and replied cautiously: "You two are objective, it's not that the small one won't help you, but the status of the customers of this small shop is really honorable, and the small one doesn't dare to make up his own mind."

Li Meier wanted to say something, but Jiang Shanqing had already stopped him, and said, "Forget it, let's find another place."

Li Meier always listened to Jiang Shanqing's words, so she had no choice but to give up. The two were about to turn around and leave when they saw a person coming down from the second floor of the teahouse.
