Lucky not to forget

Chapter 55 Fright
The girls, together with Wang Chunjin who had just arrived, were pulled out to watch. The four brothers of the Xie family were all there, and they made two rabbit masters with clay on the terrace. The back protection flag used, the face is covered with gold mud, the body is painted, one is standing, the other is pounding the pestle, and two big ears are erected, which is both solemn and harmonious.
Fangling said, "Second brother is back early."
Wu Wang pointed to Shen Xing and said to Wang Chunjin, "The one who is wearing ordinary clothes and drawing a face for Mr. Rabbit is Second Master Xing."
Wang Chunjin took a peek and saw Xie Shenxing calm and handsome, with a bright face and a very tall and straight figure, at least he had some reaction, two blushes appeared abnormally on his pale face, Mingyu shoved Wuwang lightly, and said in a low voice , "Very satisfied."
Wuwang laughed, Mingyu raised his voice, "Brother Xing, come!"
Shen Xing turned his head and saw Wu Wang and Ming Yu were together, so he gave Shen Du the pen and walked over, smiling, "Sister-in-law is here too!"
Mingyu pushed Wang Chunjin in front of him, and teased, "Come and meet my good sister, this is Mrs. Wang's daughter, Miss Chunjin, and it's rude!"
Shen Xing looked embarrassed, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I've seen the girl, how soon did you come?"
Wang Chunjin said, "It's not long."
Shen Xing said, "Let's go to the porch and sit down for a while. I still have a while here, so it's not good to accompany me."

Chun Jin said, "You just have to be busy."
Shen Xing smiled lightly, turned around to look, she had already painted the beard for Mr. Rabbit, and got together with Shen Ru stubbornly. Seeing her heartless appearance, his heart sank, and he lost the ability to paint again. In the interest of going down, hastily told everyone that he was on leave, hurriedly said that he would go back to the room to change clothes, and went back alone in a daze.
There was a lot of laughter again, the old lady passed the meal, the genius was darkened, the moon was big and bright, and the whole family sat down on the high platform in the garden, and the surrounding lights were lit. Colorful lanterns, a big incense table on the corner, everyone chatting and laughing, guessing the allusions of the lantern fans, and setting off fireworks for fun, until the second watch, because the Mid-Autumn Festival has a habit of going to bed late, a large group of people I don't feel tired either.After all, Mrs. Wang and her granddaughter were guests, so they got up and said goodbye after being stubborn for a while. Mrs. Xie didn't stay with her. She said a lot of polite words, prepared some melon and fruit gifts, and asked Shen Xing to send them to the car. It's over.
Wu said, "How does the old lady look?"
The old lady Xie said, "You already have an idea, why ask me."
Mrs. Lu said, "I don't think it's useful. The girl is so weak. I'm afraid she won't have a long life. If she marries, she will suffer a lot in the future."
The old lady Xie said, "I don't think she is a match for brother Xing. According to my opinion, she is like a daughter with tuberculosis. How can this kind of disease be easy for others? Wouldn't it be bad luck for her?"
Wu said, "Then how do you explain to others?"
The old lady Xie glanced at her and said, "Without a medium and no employment, adults just talk about it, and they haven't made up their minds. They are also smart people. After waiting for three to five days without any movement, they will naturally understand. What do you want to explain?" !"
Wu Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "The old lady is absolutely right."
The old lady Xie said, "Don't worry, there are still a few houses anyway, just be careful, as long as the girl is Zhou Zheng and understands accidents, it doesn't matter if the family is not rich." Wu said yes, and the old lady greeted again , "Girls come to worship the moon, and ask the moon god to grant you a good look."
The women hurriedly lit the big red candles, and then lit the high incense. A group of girls and maids knelt in three or four rows, kowtowed and prayed calmly. Don't expect them to be very devout, but I have nothing to do , but it’s just a cutscene. After paying my respects, I got up and went back to the old lady and sat down. Several wives and aunts discussed the things that Shen Du would use for the ceremony. Just buy a copy according to our brother Yan's gift list at that time."
The Lu family remained silent, and the eldest aunt said, "How can we be cautious, our uncle is the eldest son and grandson, and the eldest grandma is the daughter of the in-laws, so it is naturally different."
Xie Shuzhen was a little displeased, and said, "They are all from my own family, just look at the arrangement. Our sister is a concubine, so it's not worth anything. It's all about what kind of gift you come and what kind of dowry we buy. .”
Seeing that something was wrong with the atmosphere, the old lady Xie said, "Don't argue, I'm happy to hear the news from Brother Du these days, Sanfang can just do what you want, I'll go out as usual Just one copy, don't offend sister Xiu. Grandchildren in the future, whoever gets married, I must add gifts and make-up here. Don't turn around and tell you that it's not good to only treat the elder grandson and don't care about others. gone."
The daughters-in-law were very satisfied when they heard that it was right in their arms. The old lady secretly squeezed Wuwang's hand, and Wuwang would agree. The old lady loved her because she wanted to give her a dowry in the future and not to her aunt. Let's talk about it, so we have to add some to each boy and girl. This old lady is really well-intentioned.
Shen Xing sent off the grandparents of the Wang family, and came over to report when it was almost time, "Old lady, Sixth Uncle Yao hosted a banquet by the Qinhuai River, and invited us brothers and sisters to go together, please allow the old lady to leave."
Wu Shi wondered, "In the past years, their mothers came to my garden. How did it change this year?"
Shen Xing replied, "This year, both sides have added people, and there are nieces and sisters who are going to leave the cabinet. If everyone gathers together, there will be no chance next year."
The old lady Xie nodded and said, "It's hard for Liu Master Lu to be considerate, let them go to the young one, only one, your sisters are all raised in the boudoir, you must not invite the young master outside to make fun of you Son, if you break the rules and let me know, I won't follow them."
Shen Xing said with a smile, "Don't worry, old lady, grandson has a sense of propriety."
The young people in the family all got up and went out, Wuwang recruited six children, and four carriages were parked outside the gate. People coming and going are very lively, jugglers, grass dragon dancers, and those who set up stalls to shave their heads, repair shoes, sell wontons, and sell tea soup. I hope I can't help laughing. I just ran outside during the New Year holidays, not like now. Thinking about it, I really miss those days.
The carriage ran forward for a mile along the Qinhuai River and stopped. Everyone dismounted and got out of the carriage one after another, and entered the Huibin Building. The shopkeeper led them upstairs and opened the door of the private room. Lu Zhiyao and several young men The girl was sitting inside, when she saw them coming, she hurriedly stood up to greet them, looked at Xiuqi again, smiled and said to Shen Xing, "This is the girl mentioned by the family?"
Shen Xing waved his hands again and again, "That's our third son's man, sixth uncle, please don't mess around with mandarin ducks, it's a joke."
Both Shen Du and Xiu Qi blushed, Lu Zhiyao clasped his hands to Shen Du and said, "If you don't know, don't blame me, I made a mistake."
Shen Du said, "Where is the sixth uncle? My nephew still has nothing to do with you!"
Lu Zhiyao invited everyone to sit down with a smile, lowered his head and looked at each other, and said, "It's rare for a girl to show her face, so sit down quickly, I just ordered sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing, which is just right for your girls."
We introduced everyone to each other again, and the men began to drink happily.Shen Xing said, "Why didn't Brother Lu come today?"
Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered what Shen Xing's mother had said to him, thinking that Brother Lu might be in trouble when he came, so he said to him, "Brother Lu is not free today, his uncle's brother is marrying a wife Son, he has gone to dinner."
Shen Xing let out a sigh, and looked at it again, she lowered her eyes and didn't know what she was thinking, with an indifferent look, he sighed slightly, secretly laughed at himself for wasting his leisurely mind, and didn't say anything else.

At this moment, Shen Yan and the others began to give orders, and because there were girls present, it was difficult to utter a lot of vulgar words, so they ate some wine and praised the fatness of the crabs, and everyone ran outside for a walk. When I came to Wanyue Bridge, many scholars had gathered on the bridge at this time. They played and sang, and they thought they were chic and suave when they wrote poems on the moon. Gradually, everyone separated, so Wuwang and Liu'er walked along the river, looking at this and that, unlike just now when there were too many people and ideas, instead I didn't know where to go. The two met so stubbornly. I just stay for a while, and when I am tired from walking, I find a tea stand to sit down and rest, which is much more comfortable than before.
Liu'er said, "What should I do if I get separated from the uncle and the others?"
Wu Wang said, "It's rare to meet them at the Huibin Building. They are stubborn at the moment. Let's see if there are any stubborn ones. If they are tired, go back the same way."
Liu'er nodded and asked the stall owner, "Auntie, do you know what's so stubborn ahead?"
The stall owner looked at the sky and said with a smile, "You will miss the most beautiful thing when you go back now. The pagoda will be burned as soon as the third watch arrives. Whoever builds the pagoda well will be rewarded if he takes the first place." Jin, girls, let's go back and watch, it's very lively."
After hearing this, Liu'er put down the teacup, put two copper plates on the table, and ran away without looking, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's take a quick look. I never knew that there is such a rare naughty tea in the south." The law must be seen and seen.”
As they ran wildly, more and more people crowded into the crowd, and saw a large area surrounded, with seven or eight groups of people scattered in the middle, building up the tower bit by bit with bricks and tiles, When the base is more than half the height of a person, a hole is left on the top, and firewood and chaff are added in, just waiting for the commander to issue an order.
Liu'er tugged at his sleeves and said, "Do you want to burn it?"
Wu Wang shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before. There were no brothers in the family. The Mid-Autumn Festival was just spent at home, and no one brought them out."
He held his breath to see that the eight pagodas were all built. The people on the high platform over there waved the colorful flags and shouted to start. The contestants quickly lit the fire. The fire burned even higher, until the whole tower was burned red, and the onlookers cheered wildly, and the applause was very loud for a while.
Wuwang was also excited, when cheering up, a hand from behind suddenly stretched out to cover her mouth and nose, she felt dizzy for a while, seeing herself being pulled away a few feet away, Liu'er only focused on looking at her. Lively, unaware of her being taken away.
