I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 676
The layer of icing on the outside is neither thin nor thick, and the sweetness is just right.The taste of the hawthorn inside is also soft, the sour taste is intertwined with the sweetness of maltose, the sourness is sweet and the sourness is very refreshing.

Xia Ying quickly swallowed the one in her mouth, and began to chew the remaining few slowly.

Miss Zhifu and Mrs. Guan didn't like sweets very much, but the candied haws tasted really good, and they couldn't help but sip it.

As far as Xia Ying hadn't finished eating a bunch of candied haws, Sister Bao had already eaten up the two bunches of candied haws—or in other words, she gnawed off the sugar coating on the surface of the hawthorns, and threw the rest of the hawthorns into the In her father's mouth.Then, she ran to Xia Ying, her big black eyes stared at the half candied haws in Xia Ying's hand.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious——

She still wants to eat!

Xia Ying pretended not to see anything, she continued to eat her food slowly.

When Sister Bao saw this, she was so wronged that her mouth was puckered, and a gleam of water quickly gathered in her eyes.

Gu Tuo's heart ached when he saw it. "Yingniang, just give the rest to Sister Bao! I'll buy you some more strings later."

"No!" Xia Ying shook her head, "She's already eaten two skewers. I think it's just for the holidays. She can't eat more, or her teeth won't be able to bear it."

"Then hurry up and eat, don't deliberately chew slowly in front of the child!" Gu Tuo said helplessly.

Don't think he can't see it, she did it on purpose!
That's right, Xia Ying did it on purpose.Who told the father and daughter to be angry with her just now?

So facing Gu Tuo's accusation, Xia Ying snorted softly and ignored it.

Sister Bao was so wronged that tears were about to fall.

Gu Tuo quickly picked up his daughter. "Okay okay, Sister Bao, your mother is right, you have eaten two skewers today, you can't eat more. Let's go, dad will take you out to see the lanterns! There are bamboo rat lanterns outside this year! It's so big One, bigger than you!"

When Xia Ying heard this, she immediately turned to look at Miss Zhifu. "Is there a bamboo mouse lantern this year?"

"That's right!" Miss Zhifu nodded with a smile, "Don't you know this? My father specially invited your husband-in-law to come to the house for advice a few years ago. We studied together for a full month before finally finalizing the bamboo mouse lantern. structure. He didn’t tell you about such an important matter?”

"No, I didn't disclose a single word." Xia Ying shook her head, and her gaze swept over to Gu Tuo again.

Gu Tuo seemed to have eyes behind his back.When Xia Yingliang's icy gaze shot over, he immediately jumped out of the shed with Sister Bao in his arms, and went to the street.

Xia Ying saw it, she just twitched the corner of her mouth. "Run if you have the guts. Don't go home at night if you're capable!"

Guan Shi laughed again. "I'm really going to be teased to death by you! Okay, it's a big festival, are you so angry? It can be seen that your husband-in-law wants to surprise you on purpose! He is really good to you Take care!"

Of course Xia Ying knew this.Now she is still angry only at the fact that Sister Bao first called her father and not her mother!
Xia Ying let out a sigh of relief, she is too lazy to argue with this guy now.Anyway, when he goes home later, he has time to settle accounts with Gu Tuo!

Now that she cheered up, she asked about Miss Zhifu's recovery at home in the past half month, and the situation of Mrs. Guan at the mansion.Everyone said a few words about the situation around them, and half an hour passed.

Then, I saw Mr. Huang walking to the magistrate Mao.

"Sir, the auspicious hour has come."

Mao Zhifu immediately lifted his spirits, and his expression became extremely solemn.

Clearing his throat quickly, he stood up and straightened his clothes before striding out of the shed.

Madam Zhifu also stood up. "The Bamboo Rat Lantern is coming out, let's join in the fun!"

That's it!

Xia Ying and the others immediately became excited.

They hurriedly followed the magistrate's wife to the front of the shed, and saw Mao Zhifu leading people towards the high platform at the entrance of the government office.

"The prefect is here!"

Following Master Huang's shout, people on the street and in the sheds by the side of the road bowed and saluted one after another, shouting in unison: "I have seen you, Mr. Zhifu!"

In the midst of everyone's continuous shouting, Mao Zhifu stepped onto the high platform.

"Exemption, everyone!" Magistrate Mao waved his hands with a smile, "This Shangyuan Festival coincides with our Jiangbian Province's meritorious deeds and rewards from the emperor for a year of tax exemption. This is a great joy. So take advantage of this At the beginning of this year, our government specially invited skilled craftsmen to create a big lantern to celebrate the New Year with everyone!"

After saying that, he nodded. "Open it!"

"Yes!"

Master Huang got the order, he turned around and said——

"open!"

Immediately, the piece of green cloth covering almost [-]% of the entire high platform behind Mao Zhifu was uncovered, revealing a huge lotus-shaped flower bone.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, the petals gradually bloomed, like a flower bone slowly blooming, this scene is already shocking.

Yet this is only the beginning.

I saw the petals blooming layer by layer, fully blooming three layers, revealing the vivid bamboo rat in the center of the lotus stamen.

"Wow, what a big bamboo mouse!"

When Gu Yuanhao saw this, he couldn't help but exclaim.

During the Chinese New Year, he often went to Gu Changwu's house. He didn't know how much bamboo rats of various flavors he ate, so when he saw the bamboo rat-shaped lantern, he recognized it at a glance.

Sister Fu, Xiao Qi and the others were also excited and started yelling.

It is enough to prove that the lantern is very successful if it can be recognized by the children.

Not to mention, apart from the fact that this giant bamboo mouse is made lifelike, there are many oil lamps dotted on the ears, paws and back of the bamboo mouse.

When the wick was lit, the Bamboo Rat immediately shone brightly, becoming the most eye-catching existence on the entire Lantern Street.

Because of the auspiciousness, the common people's fear and aversion to the bamboo rat has faded by [-]% to [-]%.Especially now, the craftsmen specially paste a layer of white paper on the bamboo mouse, and then draw cute characters and pictures on the bamboo mouse's head and body, which shows that their lanterns are built with auspiciousness. , but it has nothing to do with that evil black bamboo rat!

Knowing this in heart, everyone will only be happy in their hearts, and there will be no rejection.

Mrs. Guan also couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Master Zhifu is really powerful. It was obviously a frightening thing at the beginning, but because of the spread of an auspicious reputation, and now this bamboo rat lantern, no one will talk about it anymore. The color of the mouse has changed! In the future, not only will the bamboo mouse not become something that everyone shouts and beats, but it will become a treasure that everyone in Jiangbian Province loves to hear and see!"

"There is no way around this. After the disaster, the people's mood needs to be encouraged, and the fear in everyone's hearts must be eliminated in the shortest possible time, so that they can devote themselves wholeheartedly to filling up the previous holes." Xia Xia Ying Road.

"Sister Yingniang, you don't need to pretend to be rational and analyze here. You must be overjoyed now, right?" Guan gave her a slight sideways glance.

Xia Ying immediately burst into a smile.
