I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 773 A little tasteless

Everyone chatted and laughed together, and went to tease the twins together, the excitement in Ye's heart slowly receded, and the feeling of exhaustion surged up, Xia Ying hurriedly asked Song Jinyan to take her down to rest.

After two days of rest, Mrs. Ye's spirit was fully recovered, and it happened to be the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

Last year, the entire Jiangbian Province was exempted from taxes by the imperial court. The weather was good and the weather was good. The people had a bumper harvest, and the hearts of the people were immediately cheered up.At the end of the year, every household kills pigs and chickens and buys new clothes, so that the New Year will be lively and lively.

Mao Zhifu saw this scene in his eyes, and the sense of accomplishment in his heart was unparalleled.

Now, the people are living a better life, and the provincial treasury is full. Of course, the magistrate Mao couldn't help but hold the Lantern Festival, with the intention of continuing to have fun with the people.

Therefore, this year's Lantern Street is much more lively than last year!
When I was driving to Mao’s shed, I saw lanterns of different shapes all over the street, and Bao’er noticed a lot of lanterns in the shape of bamboo rats.

"Dad, dad, bamboo rat!"

The little girl shouted happily, and she pointed it out to Gu Tuo seriously. "One, two, three...nine, ten, wow, I don't know!"

After all, for a child who is less than two years old, she only learned to count to ten after her older brothers and sisters, and there will be no more.

Gu Tuo's family were all amused by the child's naive appearance.

But look outside, those bamboo mouse lanterns are indeed very well made, with different shapes and lifelike, very attractive.

Xia Ying couldn't help but glance at Gu Tuo. "These are your ideas again?"

"No." Gu Tuo shook his head, "I only helped once last year. There are also many skilled folk craftsmen. They saw the bamboo mouse lantern last year and made money all year because of the auspicious bamboo mouse. I am naturally happy, and then I start to use my imagination... To be honest, their skills are better than mine when it comes to making these fun things."

His main business is still those institutions that have extremely high requirements for sophistication and flexibility.

Xia Ying nodded. "That's true. So, your giant bamboo rat lantern last year inspired them! That's not bad! I just don't know what kind of surprises this year's Lantern Street will give us?"

"I'm afraid this will disappoint you. I have already seen Brother Long's excellence, and no one will surpass his peak in the short term." Gu Tuo said in a deep voice.

Xia Ying was slightly taken aback, and she heard Gu Yuanlong nodding. "That's right!"

This little guy doesn't know how to be modest at all, so he just nodded in agreement with his father's words so generously!
Xia Ying couldn't help but laugh.

"Could it be that you are only allowed to be gifted alone in this world, and no one with the same talent as you is allowed to appear?"

"The world is so big, there are no surprises. Even if someone finds a powerful person and sends it to me and tells me that he is stronger than me, I will admit it." Gu Yuanlong nodded, "It's just that at this time, the current riverside Province, it is indeed impossible to find a young man who is comparable to me. Otherwise, mother, you will just wait and see!" Gu Yuanlong still had a confident expression.

Xia Ying slumped her shoulders weakly.

"Forget it, I still don't hold out too much hope."

After making a big splash at the Lantern Festival last year, Gu Yuanlong has already planned to restrain his brilliance this year and prepare for the battle of Qiu Wei wholeheartedly.So this year's Lantern Festival, no matter what kind of things magistrate mao has arranged, he will not participate.

"For something like the limelight, it's enough to show it once. If you show it too much, it will look too much, and it will damage your own style." Gu Yuanlong said this at home.

Xia Ying was deeply convinced.

While the family was chatting and laughing, the carriage had already arrived outside the shed of the Mao family.

The magistrate's wife and others are already there.

Seeing Xia Ying, Madam Zhifu waved to her kindly. "Ying Niang, come and sit down!"

After so many things, Madam Zhifu saw that Xia Ying sincerely treated Miss Zhifu as a sister, how much she had paid for Miss Zhifu!She was deeply moved, and now she already treated Xia Ying like a daughter.

So now, she quickly called Xia Ying to sit beside her, and talked to the children around Xia Ying one by one, and gave each child a red envelope.

The daughters-in-law of Mao Zhifu stood aside, and they were used to the close relationship between Xia Ying and the magistrate's wife.Although there is some jealousy in my heart, there is a precedent of the second young lady, and now they dare not mess around again.

So, everything is safe.

Xia Ying just discussed with Madam Zhifu about Miss Zhifu's current situation in the capital, and the mother and daughter of the Guan family have also arrived.

The current Guan Shi is still in high spirits.

It can be seen that she is having a good time these days!Xia Ying felt relieved.

Mrs. Guan brought her daughter over to salute the magistrate's wife and received a red envelope, and she sat down under Xia Ying.

At this time, her eyes also fell on Song Jinyan's family who came to enjoy the lantern with Xia Ying.

"Second sister-in-law is good!"

Immediately, Ye Shi and Song Jinyan also raised their smiling faces, and they greeted Guan Shi warmly.

Guan's eyes flashed, and his heart was like a mirror.

"Eighteen Sister, Eighteenth Brother-in-Law, you guys came here really fast!" She just said this, without any annoyance in her tone.

A faint smile rose from the corner of Xia Ying's lips.

Just because of Guan's attitude, Song Jinyan and his wife's purpose of coming to the provincial capital this time has already achieved half of it!

She was in a good mood, and then she tried her best to create opportunities for the two parties to talk.

In fact, today's Lantern Festival is similar to last year's process, except that the big bamboo mouse lantern was replaced by a row of small bamboo mouse lanterns of various colors and shapes, hanging all over the Lantern Street.The Lantern Riddles Conference was also held as usual, and the lottery was still 100 taels of silver.

Just for this money, countless people rushed to participate in the competition, and the scene was once very lively.

however……

"It's still a little tasteless." Madam Zhifu looked at the people on the high platform ahead who were thinking hard about answering the questions, she whispered.

Xia Ying and Guan Shi nodded one after another.

Others in the shed felt the same way.

Think about last year, Gu Yuanlong and the second son of the magistrate on the high platform almost read the question, and the answer was released in the next second.Although the prefect's second son cheated, the picture presented in this way is unusually adrenaline-pumping, isn't it?

At least in this way, this eye-catching and topical degree is completely enough!
Looking at this year again, even though there have been a few good guessing masters on the high stage.But as long as their performance is compared with last year's Gu Yuanlong and the prefect's second son, they will be crushed into scum.

I have already seen more exciting games, who can bear such a relatively mediocre picture?
