The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 267

In the first few days of the new year, Shi Chuying still felt a little idle, and the shops on the street were closed, except for New Year's greetings, she seemed to be idle.Only from the sixth day of the sixth day, eating and inviting New Year's wine one after another was really tormenting people. Only then did Shi Chuying realize how rare it was to have a few days of leisure. It was only because of her lack of experience that she felt that there was nothing to do. Do.

It's just that Shi Chuying is a little lazy these days, and really thinks this kind of banquet is a bit boring. It's just the usual people who come and go, talking about the same things, and the topics of women are always children, clothes and jewelry, men, or that The material of one shop is better than the other, and the embroidery of this embroidery shop is more delicate, etc. Shi Chuying is not interesting at all.

But those who should be rewarded have to be rewarded.

Seeing that she was looking listless with her lips pursed, Chu Xu teased her and said, "In two days' time, it will be the Lantern Festival, and the streets will be full of lantern-watchers, so it will be very lively. Let's have a good time on that day." Go shopping, I haven’t visited the Lantern Festival for several years.”

When he was studying art on the mountain, there were no lantern festivals. When he came back from the mountain, he was busy with the knighthood examination, looking for errands, and then he was an errand, and every year and festival. He was a single man, and everyone came to change errands with him, and he had no home. The house was a drag, and the old house was even more unwilling to go back, so they changed errands or shifts for everyone every year.

Fortunately, it's finally his turn to rest during the Chinese New Year holidays, and those people who always let him take over their duties should also pay back their debts.

Chu Xu whispered to Shi Chuying about the grand occasion of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival when he was a child, and this year he had asked the steward of the outer court to find a teahouse facing the street in a good location to watch the lanterns and book an elegant room in advance. It also saves people from being crowded, which is also the usual practice of nobles from aristocratic families.

But since Yingying feels bored, it's okay for him to take her for a walk in the street, only Erfei is inconvenient to take with her.Otherwise, it would be bad if it gets lost.

When Chu Xu said this, he didn't hear an answer for a long time, and then looked down, and found that the person in his arms had fallen asleep!
"Oh, it looks like I'm really tired!" Chu Xu also felt a little tired from eating wine and going to banquets these days, and seeing Shi Chuying sleeping, her flushed and tender face still had a faint smile on her face. Smiling, he couldn't help lowering his head and kissing Shi Chuying's forehead, then gently hugged her, placed her in the kang, took off his boots and got on the kang, held her in his arms, and fell asleep with her up.

Starting from the eighth day of the eighth day, every evening, all the streets of the capital were lit with lanterns, including ice lanterns, paper lanterns, and glazed lanterns in various styles, and the entire capital was shrouded in bright lights.

The shops along the streets in the eastern and western cities spared no expense. They competed in front of their respective shops with various items. The elaborately crafted lanterns were just for the sake of winning the competition. This is also the tradition of every street and lane. custom.

And from the New Year's Eve, the capital's curfew is completely lifted, and people can play all night to their heart's content.It’s just that in the past few days, each family had to stay at home to celebrate the New Year according to the tradition, and the shop had to rest for a few days throughout the year. Otherwise, opening a shop at this time during the New Year’s Day would be ridiculed as a "money-seeking" If you go there, you will not get a good one.

From the sixth day onwards, all the shops have been open, and the streets are no longer empty, and all kinds of small businesses and hawkers are also hawking along the street.At this time, in addition to all kinds of traditional snacks, the most sold are children's toys, various silk flower ropes on women's heads, simple jewelry, such as mahogany hairpins, bamboo hairpins, poplar combs, silver jewelry, as well as pens, inks, paper inkstones, sticks, etc. Poor scholars who started painting calligraphy and painting stalls; Guan Pu is also open as a routine, allowing people to bet a small amount of money and gamble their luck on the street for half a month.

And on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the whole capital is full of bright lights, just like what is written in the poem:

In the east wind night, flowers and trees are bloomed, and the stars are like rain.

BMW engraves the car and the road is full of fragrance.

The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

The golden strands of moth snow willow, the smile is full of fragrance.

The crowd searched for him thousands of times, and when I looked back, the man was there, where the lights were dim.

The Shangyuan Festival of the Great Chu Jingshi is better than what is described in the poems, nothing less, it is really a lively event.

Chu Xu and Shi Chuying were wandering on the brightly lit street, the two of them had just eaten a snack and were heading to the stall ahead where they won the lottery.

There are three circles of five cents, which one is in the set.

Chu Xu took out five large coins and threw them to the stall owner. The stall owner saw that these two people were unusual, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and handed three thin bamboo circles to Chu Xu, saying repeatedly: "Your honor is good luck! Be merciful!" The crowd watching and throwing circles couldn't stop laughing.When it comes to Chinese New Year, everyone wants to celebrate it, and no one really cares about these things.

Chu Xu handed the ring to Shi Chuying, Shi Chuying glanced at the stall owner, and then at the various simple objects on the ground, she was not interested at first, but Chu Xu whispered something in her ear, Shi Chuying Sakura flipped through the bamboo rings, but threw one out casually.

"I got it! I got it! I got it!" Everyone cheered, and the stall owner walked away with a smile on his face, and came over with a porcelain doll in both hands, "Madam, this is yours!"

Shi Chuying glanced at the doll, and told Yuzhu to take it away, and saw that the stall owner added a small bonsai to the vacated area just now.

This small bonsai is not small, just a little smaller than the bamboo circle. It is also interesting to twist to the rockery, then flow down from the rockery, and land on the waterwheel. It goes back and forth like this.

Seeing the stall owner carefully moving the bonsai left and right, Shi Chuying clapped her hands and walked back when it was finally settled.As a result, Shi Chuying threw it away, and the bamboo circle firmly caught the bonsai.The crowd applauded for a while, and the stall owner turned around, only to find that the things he had put so much effort to put were gone.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the stall owner had no choice but to put on a smiley face, and turned over to hug the bonsai.This bonsai cost more than five cents. Obviously, the stall owner lost money.

He opened his mouth, but didn't dare to say anything, Shi Chuying threw another trap, and caught a small bamboo flower basket.

Seeing that she was having fun, Chu Xu reached out to touch the money again. At this time, the stall owner was about to cry, and Shi Chuying couldn't stop giggling, pulling Chu Xu out of the crowd and going elsewhere.

"Why don't you play again?" Chu Xu asked again.

"Didn't you see that stall owner was about to cry? Forget it, we don't want to bully people too much..." Shi Chuying was in a good mood, and it was rare for her to think about others.
