Chapter 167 The Big White Goose

Regardless of the situation between the DPRK and China, it is time to have a good Chinese New Year.

Two or three days later, it will be the Lantern Festival, which is almost the last day of the Chinese New Year. After this day, the excitement of the Spring Festival will gradually fade away.

Maybe it's because it's about to end, so today is also extraordinarily lively.

Su Yi and Cui Shi naturally did not stop Su Yi and Cui Shi from saying that he wanted to go out to watch the meeting.

Su Yuzheng, Su Yuanan, and Su Junning, the three brothers and sisters tacitly did not call Su Zhiyi, and went out together.

One is that Su Zhiyi was given a marriage and is now waiting to be married, so it is not easy to go out. Second, she is still 'recovering from illness' and she never wants to come out.

She didn't come out to eat the reunion dinner this year, let alone go out to watch the lanterns on the fifteenth day.

Shen Qianwei agreed early in the morning to pick her up, so they met at the gate of the Su Mansion, and the four of them went to the main street together.

He still came on horseback as usual, but because of the "rules" Su Junning said, he also rode there instead of getting into Su Junning's carriage.

Unexpectedly, it was snowing when we approached the main street.

Su Junning heard the movement outside, so she raised the curtains and looked out.

It wasn't the snow that came into view, but the boy in black who was walking side by side with the carriage.

Shen Qianwei wore the black cloak with white fox fur collar that he wore before today, and put on a high ponytail as usual, but today he changed to a purple gold crown, which made him look more calm and noble.

From this angle, one can only see a bit of his side face, and he is tall and straight, but even if he can't see his face, this demeanor can't help but guess that he is a handsome man. of the public.

Pedestrians were bustling and bustling, both sides of the road were covered with lanterns, circles of halos enveloped people, and snowflakes fell on the man's shoulders, like a dream.

Su Junning looked at it for a while, but did not disturb him, silently put down the curtains and sat back down.

It's just that I didn't notice it in my heart, but I wrote down the silent scene today.

When they arrived at the place, Su Junning helped Nan Xu's hand to get off the horse, and saw that Shen Qianwei had already placed the horse and came this way.

He skillfully stood beside Su Junning, the two of them side by side.

Su Yuxuan glanced at the two of them before speaking.

"Let's go to Yipinju first. The lantern festival is there. It must be the most lively place."

"Big Brother and Third Brother can guess a few more lantern riddles this year, and I will follow behind to get the prize." Su Junning said with a smile.

Su Yu'an pursed her lips, "Won't all the prizes you win in any year be given to you."

"She likes those gadgets the most, so make her happy." Su Yuzhen also smiled.

The three brothers and sisters were talking, but Shen Qianwei didn't interrupt.

Because he really can't guess lantern riddles.

Su Junning knew that he couldn't, so she didn't deliberately embarrass him, so she didn't mention him.

A few people went to the lively place while talking.

A large-scale event like the Lantern Festival is usually jointly organized by the government and large merchants in the city. After all, gifts are provided, which can be regarded as a commercial means.

I don’t know what’s going on elsewhere, but there is such a rule in Bianjing City. Lantern riddles are hung on the paper under the lamp, and the prizes and prices are marked. , you don’t need to pay money, and you will be rewarded.

But the price is very low, after all, it is also for fun, and it needs to be affordable by most people.

Of course, there are also those who don't need to spend money, just guess, and there will be prizes for guessing correctly.

Usually, the shopkeeper sets up a table in front of the store to gather popularity. If you come to watch the excitement and guess, maybe you can stop by the store to have a look and buy something, right?

In addition to these, there are also many stalls set up during the bustle, such as ring traps, juggling, selling lanterns, and selling food.

Su Junning spent the Chinese New Year in Lin'an's hometown last year, and it was lively, but still not as good as Bianjing.

I am very happy to be back this year.

Brothers Su Yuzhen and Su Yu'an walked in front, she and Shen Qianwei stood side by side, their eyes never stopped.

While walking, Shen Qianwei suddenly felt his sleeves being pulled.

Turning his head, he saw Su Junning looking at the booth not far away with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

Looking along the past, I saw a stall playing rings.

There was a flash of light in Shen Qianwei's eyes, and his back straightened even more.

He's not good at guessing lantern riddles, but he's absolutely perfect at guessing riddles.

So he immediately spoke up.

"Why, which one do you want?"

"Goose!"

The girl's voice sounded crisply, but Shen Qianwei was really taken aback.

"Goose?" Shen Qianwei was puzzled.

Su Junning grabbed his arm and pointed to the middle of the stall.

"Look, that goose, on the stool."

Shen Qianwei looked over there carefully after hearing the words, and sure enough, he saw a big white goose on the stool in the middle of the booth.

And someone is putting a hoop on it.

However, the big white goose was obviously trained, and it would twist its neck to avoid the bamboo ring thrown over it precisely, attracting many people to watch.

"Live target, it's interesting." Shen Qianwei's eyes lit up, and he became interested, "Go, put it back today, and stew it for you!"

After finishing speaking, he took Su Junning's hand and went to the booth.

Su Junning might as well get excited, he was dragged away before he even had time to say anything to the two older brothers.

When I arrived at the booth, I saw the boss shouting.

It seems that as long as the goose is caught, not only the goose can be taken away, but also the jade pendant worth twelve taels behind can be taken away.

Nowadays, about 20 taels of silver are enough for the most basic food, clothing and chewing for ordinary people a year. Naturally, these ten taels of silver are very attractive to the common people.

Shen Qianwei immediately stepped forward to ask the price.

"Boss, how much money does that goose cover once?"

Seeing that they were well-dressed, the boss suddenly became enthusiastic and walked over with two kinds of rings in his hand.

"My lord, five times for the big circle, ten yuan for five times, ten yuan for the small circle, five times for other things, you can choose the size yourself, for the goose, you can only use the small circle, and the price is the same as the big circle. .”

Shen Qianwei raised her eyebrows, glanced at the girl beside her who was still staring at the goose with great interest, and immediately took out the money.

"Take the little ring, and I'll put on that goose."

"Okay!" The boss immediately handed over the things.

Seeing that someone wanted to challenge again, the people nearby immediately surrounded him.

After Shen Qianwei stood still, he took a look, and threw the first circle directly.

I thought he would hit it with one blow, but I missed it, and the goose dodged!
Some of the people next to him were amazed, some were sorry, and Su Junning was also surprised. She didn't expect this goose to be so smart.

Of course it was an accident, I didn't expect Shen Qianwei to miss the shot.

But when she turned her head, she saw that Shen Qianwei had no superfluous expression, as if she was just warming up and testing.

So Su Junning didn't say anything.

Then I saw Shen Qianwei took aim, and suddenly threw two circles out very quickly.

When the goose avoided the first circle, the second circle fit right around its neck.

For a moment, the boss was stunned, and the surrounding onlookers were stunned for a moment, and then applauded and cheered immediately.

Afterwards, Su Junning heard Shen Qianwei chuckle.

"This bastard hides at random, and you have to use some tricks to do it. It's interesting."

He is usually archery, as long as he touches it, he will hit it. There is still a difference from this need to be precise, so it is the first time that he has really practiced his hand.

Unexpectedly, he could really catch him. The boss's face turned green at this moment, and he stood there with a mournful face, not knowing what to do.

But seeing that they were well dressed, thinking that they were either rich or expensive, I didn't dare to offend them, so I hugged the bracelet and the white goose together with great reluctance.

"Young master, this is your prize."

Su Junning looked at the big white goose, it was really a novelty, so she got closer to take a look, and found that the goose had a good temper and didn't peck people.

After watching for a while, Su Junning smiled and said.

"I took the goose, but I don't want the bracelet."

"Hey girl, why don't you give me the bracelet, and you can keep the goose for me?" the boss said with a mournful face.

And at this time, Shen Qianwei took out some broken silver from his bosom, and handed it over.

"Knowing that it's not easy for you, you can take the money, but we have to take the goose away."

Seeing this, the boss accepted it as soon as it was good. He didn't dare to say any more, took the money honestly, put the goose in a bamboo cage and gave it to Su Junning.
