Chapter 104 Water Lantern Festival

The Water Lantern Festival on the boat is an annual festival in Nanzhou City. At that time, the city will be decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The men will tie a water lantern with their own hands and give it to the girl they love. If the girl accepts the man's intention, she can Write the names of the two people on the water lanterns and put the lanterns into the Weishui River. It is said that the farther the water lanterns travel, the better the relationship between the two will be.

Liu Xueting listened to the inn waiter's popular science and couldn't help but wonder: "The ancients...oh, I mean, isn't there a saying that parents order matchmakers?"

Why does the waiter sound like he can make a private decision for life?

"That's true, but our Nanzhou City has open folk customs without many restrictions. Many young men and women look at each other before asking their parents to come forward. Especially after the Water Lantern Festival, it is equivalent to passing the Weishui Empress's approval. If approved, parents generally won’t object.”

So that's it, Liu Xue paused and nodded.

"Girl, you must go and join in the fun tonight. Maybe you will meet the one you love!" Seeing Liu Xueting's interest, the waiter hurriedly said, "I saw the two young men who were traveling with the girl were going out. I’ve bought the materials to tie the krathong!”

Um?Isn't it surprising that the eldest brother is convinced? After all, no matter what the reason is, he has made an agreement with Mu Jiujiu, but Xie Yu?
"Host, who do you think Xie Yuzha's water lantern will be given to?" 303 asked excitedly in a high tone.

"How do I know? I guess I want to meet you on the street?" Liu Xueting was not interested in the water lanterns. He might as well be eating melons, but it was fun and exciting and he could see different places. Customs and customs.

303 was silent for a moment and sighed leisurely.

Women from Nanzhou City like to wear sparkling asymmetrical earrings. Liu Xueting also followed the local customs. He picked a pair of jewelry sent by his elder brother and put them on, and then Mu Jiujiu knocked on the door.

"Sister, are you okay? Let's go out for a walk. It's rare to see such a lively scene." Mu Jiujiu was so busy the past few days that no one was around, and he was just waiting to take a breather today!

"Here we come." Liu Xue stopped and responded hurriedly, stood up and opened the door.

Mu Jiujiu's eyes fell on Liu Xueting's face. This sister was not like those women from wealthy families. She wore her hair in an exquisite bun and matched it with any kind of clothes and jewelry. Her hair was simply braided and tied behind her head. , today she just wore a pair of eye-catching earrings, which made her look extraordinary, so she sincerely praised: "Sister, you should dress up more."

A smile flashed in Liu Xueting's eyes, and he took the initiative to hold Mu Jiujiu's arm: "I can't compare to my sister-in-law, who is so beautiful and charming. When I saw her, I couldn't take my eyes away!"

To be honest, once she left Mian Xia and others for a few days, she felt that she was not used to it and was not comfortable here. If nothing else, just combing her hair, for example, she could only do a braid, the kind with a hairpin. She can never learn how to tie her hair up!
"Yeah, I'll let your brother take a second look later." Mu Jiujiu was not pretentious. Instead, he took out a small bronze mirror from his arms and looked around, admiring his beauty contentedly.

Just as he was talking, Liu Qingming and Xie Yu also walked out of the room.

"What makes me look twice?" Liu Qingming asked curiously when he heard the last sentence that seemed to bring him along.

"Of course I want you to take a closer look at my sister-in-law!" Liu Xueting smiled and pushed Mu Jiujiu gently into Liu Qingming's arms. Liu Qingming hurriedly stretched out his hands to protect him. It would be rude to put his hands together. They didn't touch him completely, but Mu Jiujiu was petite and only touched Liu Qingming's chest a little bit. It happened that one of them lowered his head and the other raised his head. Tsk tsk, they almost kissed him!
"Ah, ah, Tongzi! I've hit it, I've hit it!" Liu Xueting smiled like an aunt.

Xie Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the scene in front of him, with a slight smile on his lips. But the hand behind his back was stroking the water lantern that had been tied up, and his eyes fell on Liu Xueting involuntarily.

"Ahem, what's that?" Liu Qingming distanced himself to avoid Mu Jiujiu's embarrassment, "Although it's lively tonight, it's always unsafe when there are more people. Just let us follow you. You just have to do it." Just feel free to play.”

Mu Jiujiu gently responded "Okay", quickly took Liu Xueting's hand, and took the first step.

Liu Qingming looked at the two people leaving with a smile, and suddenly felt that this was not bad.

"Let's go, Brother Yu, we'll follow."

In the Great Xia Dynasty, men were generally given names only when they were in their weakest years. Therefore, before that, people who were close to them often called them by their given names and added the words "brother" or "sister".Xie Yu used his large sleeve robe to carefully protect the water lantern in his hand. Hearing this, he also followed Liu Qingming and walked onto the street.

The streets were busy with people coming and going. Men and women were traveling together, and there was a lot of laughter.

"Grilled clams! Fresh grilled clams!"

"Little Chaos, a wild vegetable with fresh shrimps, only costs eight cents a bowl!"

"Beautiful and lovely earrings are on sale today. Master, hurry up and buy a pair for the girl next to you!"

"Don't miss it if you pass by. If you guess a lantern riddle correctly, you can get a beautiful water lantern for free!"

"Have a bowl of refreshing sugar water for a sweet treat..."

Liu Xuejing looked around, feeling that she couldn't see clearly with her eyes. This was the first time she had participated in such a lively gathering in ancient times. She touched her belly and sniffed the sound coming from the air. There are all kinds of delicacies and scents. I have just had dinner not long ago, but why do I feel hungry again after seeing these delicious foods?

"Sister, let's go eat a bowl of Little Chaos too. It tastes so delicious!" Mu Jiujiu also stopped in front of the stall selling Little Chaos, looking at the swollen Little Chaos rolling one after another in the clear soup.

Liu Xueting nodded hurriedly and asked his eldest brother if they would eat.

Liu Qingming shook his head helplessly. Seeing that Mu Jiujiu was interested in the roasted shellfish not far away, he turned around to buy it.

When the roasted clams were bought, Little Chaos had just served them on the table.

The roasted shellfish was juicy and caramelized, and the little Chaos was delicious and chewy. With another mouthful of hot soup, Liu Xueting felt that all the gluttons in his stomach were drawn out. With one bite of the roasted shellfish and a bite of the Little Chaos, his mouth was filled with "Sweet!" Hasha." Liu Qingming raised his fingers and tapped Liu Xueting's head lightly: "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

Attracting Liu Xueting's accusing look, Liu Qingming smiled softly.

At this time, Mu Jiujiu said: "Liu Qingming, that sugar water looks delicious too!"

Surprise flashed across Liu Qingming's face: "Can you still eat it?"

"Of course!" Mu Jiujiu had already solved the little chaos in the bowl, "I deliberately ate less for dinner just to leave room for the delicious food at the party!"

yes!Liu Xueting was annoyed that he hadn't thought of this, but his stomach couldn't hold it anymore, so he could only watch as Mu Jiujiu and his eldest brother went to buy sugar water again!

"Don't be in a hurry, eat slowly, and you'll be fine after taking a walk for a while." Seeing Liu Xueting's disappointment, Xie Yu comforted him warmly.

Liu Xueting's eyes lit up, yes, he will be able to eat it after digesting it later!
When Liu Xueting finished eating, he still didn't see his eldest brother and the others coming back, so he couldn't help but look around: "Where are the eldest brother and the others?"
