Chapter 132 Reunion of Flowers and Full Moon (2)
Only when the big man gets closer can you see clearly the smiling face under the beard. Hey, it’s those barbarians who came to Tuva and Shen Qiuniang’s wedding. One of the friends.
"Why didn't Mr. Li Dalang tell us when he came here? Could it be that he treats us as outsiders?"
Li Sanniang could clearly see that before the big man came close, except for Xiao Silang, from Brother Li to Li Sanlang, all looked nervous, especially Li Dalang, who was standing next to Li Sanniang. The muscles in his arms were exerting force.
However, after seeing clearly that the person walking over was someone he knew, the tense atmosphere before immediately disappeared.
Brother Li naturally said that the Li family wanted to come to see the show on an impromptu basis. In the end, he couldn't shirk it. Not only did he not spend the ticket, but he also arranged an excellent viewing position. The VIP position of the whole audience. Now Li Sanniang sat with Lu Zhuer in her arms.
Li Sanniang originally wanted to give the middle seat to Mother Li, but Mother Li felt that since Li Sanniang wanted to hold Lu Zhuer, it would be better for Li Sanniang to sit there.
Sister-in-law Li said from the side, since the ticket price is free and such a good location has been arranged, when the show is over, we can give more reward money. We don’t take advantage of others. Cheap.
Li’s father and Li’s mother nodded one after another, agreeing very much with Sister-in-law Li’s words.
The tricks this time were much more varied than the last time Li Sanniang came to watch with Brother Li, Sister Li and the four little ones.
Last time it was a special holiday, but this time it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, a national legal holiday!
In addition to ordinary people, there should be many people from the small wealthy Ji'an and dignitaries who would come to the West Market to join in the fun. It is really a time to make a lot of money.
Of course, it is impossible to compare with Dongshi. Dongshi is really a gold-selling cave every day of the year.
So, this time Li Sanniang and the others were in the circus hosted by Hu people in the West Market, which opened their eyes to many different styles of performances.
Cockfighting and horse taming are a must, and the horse taming this time is not the simple jumping through fire hoops I saw last time. There is a heroic Hu girl with bells on her body, riding On the horse, she directs the horse to avoid and cross obstacles, and then the bell on Hu Nu's body will ring as she moves. Not only is this hand-controlled equestrian skill amazing, it is also really nice to watch and listen to.
I didn't see Tuva or his Han Chinese-looking friend, so he probably won't be playing today.
The most unexpected thing is that in the last performance of this circus, a tiger was driven out of the cage!
Of course, Li Sanniang was definitely not surprised, but frightened.
After all, you are carrying a child, and this is completely unprotected. The view from where you sit is good, but if something happens, it is also the place where you are most vulnerable to disaster.
Lu Zhuer, a newborn calf, is not afraid of tigers. She pointed at the big furry tiger and Li Sanniang and said, "Auntie, big cat."
Lu Zhu'er had seen a few free-range civet cats on the street, but Lu Zhu'er was right, both were cats, but this tiger was really much bigger than the civet cats. few.
In the end, I must have watched the tiger show without any danger. I don’t know how it happened, but the big cat roared deliberately to scare people in the end.
This is also interspersed with Qigong fire breathing, ventriloquism and martial arts fighting, which is very interesting.
In the end, Brother Li not only gave me a generous reward, but also bought fried sunflower seeds and a whole honeydew melon.
“Last time, didn’t you all say that this melon was delicious? There were many of us, so we cut a piece of it and ate it when we got home, and Aye and Grandma also tasted it.”
Originally, Li Dalang wanted to hold the melon by himself, mainly because he didn't think of bringing a cloth bag or a rattan frame with him when he came out. The melon sellers just made straw rope covers for people to carry.
Later, Li Sannianglang volunteered and said that he and Li Erlang could hold him back and forth, and asked Li Dalang to hold Xiao Silang by himself.
Everyone in the Li family was very satisfied after watching this circus, and then went to the Shouyou mutton restaurant they visited last time.
After playing for most of the afternoon, everyone was hungry and the smell was so delicious.
On holiday, there were a lot of people in the restaurant, and we had to wait for a table. After waiting outside for two quarters of an hour, it was Li Sanniang’s and her family’s turn.
Freshly baked pancakes with a sweet wheat aroma, mutton soup sprinkled with pepper, and two large plates of mutton. Sister-in-law Li was afraid that Sister-in-law Li would be inconvenient because she was still breastfeeding, and Xiaoshilang and Luzhuer had weak small intestines and stomachs. I also specially ordered two bowls of soup cakes with just a little salt to enhance the flavor.
There aren’t such big tables in the restaurant, so the dozen or so members of the Li family had to use two tables pushed together to sit comfortably. While eating, several people chatted about the circus they just watched. They all agreed that the big tiger in the finale was really amazing.
Li Sanniang also heard a well-dressed man with a hat and a beard at the next table saying to his friends that the Prime Minister would be worshiping the moon in the imperial city today.
Mother Li also heard this, "When we get back home, when the moon is full, we will also go to the intersection to worship the moon." After saying this, Mother Li smiled and looked at the food with a shiny face. Lu Zhuer continued: "When the time comes, let us Lu Zhuer also worship Fairy Chang'e in the yard, so that our Lu Zhuer will look as beautiful as a fairy in the future."
Lu Zhu'er didn't understand what it meant at all. She just nodded out of habit. After swallowing the meat in her mouth, she said, "Well, Zhu'er listens to grandma, and grandma is the best to Zhu'er."
These childlike words made Mother Li feel that the delicious meal on the table was not as happy as what Lu Zhuer said made her happy. She hugged Lu Zhuer and kissed her so sweetly.
Mother Li kept her promise. Father Li took Brother Li and the others to worship the moon at the intersection. Mother Li set up a table in the yard with red dates, moon cakes and honey that Brother Li bought in the West Market. melon.
Mother Li lit two red candles in her hand, and she knelt down on the futon with Sister-in-law Li Er, Sister-in-law Li, Sanniang Li, and Little Luzhuer. She murmured prayers and led everyone to kowtow to the moon.
Although it is always said that the moon on the fifteenth day is sixteen round, Li Sanniang looked at the bright moon in the sky and wondered, across the unknown number of light years, would there be someone in the time and space where she was originally? Thinking about such a bright moon, this moon is really round and bright.
Brother Li took the knife handed over by Sister Li, and quickly and accurately cut the honeydew melon into two pieces, one piece at a time. Each person could eat two pieces to taste the taste.
“The melons from the Western Regions are indeed quite sweet, much sweeter than the honeydew melons here.”
“Aye, this honeydew melon is also bigger than the local honeydew melons. Quite a bit."
Father Li nodded in agreement, and after chewing this tooth, he didn't plan to eat anymore.
“Aye, why don’t you eat another tooth?”
Father Li said while washing his hands: "I'm getting older, but I have to keep in good health. Just eat this melon and taste it. Leave me alone and you can eat it."
After eating the honeydew melon, everyone started talking about it again. I ate the Hu cakes on the table and the sunflower seeds I bought.
Brother Li even asked Xiao Shiro to memorize a poem for everyone to suit the occasion.
Koshiro showed no timidity at all, facing everyone, he recited loudly:
The bright moon rises on the sea, and the world is at this moment together.
Lovers complain about the distant night, but they start to miss each other at night!
The candles are extinguished and the pity light is full, and the clothes are covered with dew.
I can't bear to give away gifts, but I still have a good night's sleep.
My dear friends, I have been to the Qingming Riverside Garden in Kaifeng, Henan, and it was a worthwhile trip! I saw a large-scale live performance there, it was great and worth seeing! recommend!
There should be basically no large animal performances now. Firstly, it is unsafe, and secondly, it is inhumane.
Especially for tigers and lions, let them live well in the wild.
I remember that when I was a child, there were monkey performers in the village. At that time, I felt that the little monkey was miserable.
This article is fictitious. The ancient poem at the end comes from "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan", which is the work of Zhang Jiuling, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
This poem actually didn’t quite fit the occasion, but I liked it so much that I posted it.
