Chapter 657 It’s the Shangyuan Festival again.
It’s the Shangyuan Festival again. The Li family’s letter from Li Dalang made everyone worried about him, but at least people knew about his current situation. He is safe and healthy, and he has found a blood relative, which is a good thing.
Therefore, during this year’s Lantern Festival, everyone in the Li family decided to take their children out to have fun.
On this day, the weather was good and it did not snow. Although there was still some wind, it was only a light wind and not a cold wind.
Li has a large family, and the only carriage in the family that Li Sanniang uses every day to go out on duty is naturally not enough.
Therefore, Brother Li went out early and rented two carriages. He drove one, and the other was driven by Brother Li who was on vacation during the Lantern Festival this year.
In fact, it can be said that there are three rooms in the Li family, and one room has a carriage.
Brother Li's family and Wu Qiaolan were sitting in the carriage with Sister Li, helping to take care of Xiao Liulang.
Brother Li’s family is a family, but there are no outsiders in the car. They are all the people from the second room of the Li family.
On the contrary, Li Sanniang's larger carriage contained not only Li's father and Li's mother, but also Baoya, Li Sanniang, Luzhu'er and Qiuxiang.
The first car was driven by Brother Li. As the Jinwu Guard guarding Chang'an City, Brother Li was quite familiar with the roads in Chang'an City.
However, now that we are familiar with the roads, there are only a lot more pedestrians on the street during the Lantern Festival. The carriage moves slowly in the busy city, and everyone in the Li family also drove slowly and leisurely for more than an hour. We just arrived at the gate of West Market.
Li Sanniang got out of the carriage with Qiu Xiang, who got off the carriage first. She carried Lu Zhuer down again, and then helped Mother Li get out of the carriage.
Li's father didn't ask for Li Sanniang's help, he just jumped off the carriage.
After Li's father stood still and looked at the people coming and going on the street, he had to sigh and said: "Because of the mutual market, the people from the Western Regions are really Quite a few.”
What Father Li said is right. Although the Western Market is a place with a large number of people from the Western Regions, in the past, only 40-50% of the people on the streets were from the Western Regions. But now, Father Li is looking at it. I am afraid that more than half of the people here are not here. They are all from the Western Regions. You can imagine how many Westerners there are in the Western City at this time.
Brother Li and the others had already stored the carriage, and then everyone headed into the West Market together.
“Buy some snacks and go watch the show first.
I see if Xiao Wu doesn’t sit down and restrain him properly, he will turn into a monkey and run away.”
Father Li held Kogoro's hand and talked and laughed like this. Mother Li and the others were all amused by the joke told by Father Li.
Kogoro understood what Father Li said about him being like a monkey, and he also understood that Father Li was teasing him, so he didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he took Father Li's hand and started to go. Went to a stall where people from India were playing monkeys.
(I personally do not support watching animal performances, especially mandatory animal performances. This is for plot needs, not the author’s own opinion.)
“Aweng, monkey, look. Monkey, I am Monkey, go and watch Monkey."
Father Li knelt down and picked up Kogoro from the ground, patted Kogoro's butt twice: "Monkey, wait a minute. Ah Weng will take you to see the beast again. How about we go see the beast first?” He could only nod his head and let his father carry him into the troupe run by Bai Ziyi and the others.
If it were someone else who was holding Kogoro at this time, such as Mother Li or Sister-in-law Li, or Li Sanniang, Kogoro would definitely not agree to just stop watching the monkey show.
It’s just that Kogoro is smart. He knows that Father Li is the person who should not be messed with in this family, so he is very well-behaved in Father Li’s hands and becomes obedient just by looking at him.
Sister-in-law Li, who had been following Brother Li all the time, sighed deeply when she saw Father Li carrying Kogoro in his arms to watch the show.
After Sister-in-law Li sighed, she said to Mother Li, who was holding Luzhu'er beside her: "Auntie, if I had known that Xiao Wu was so skinny, I should have given birth to a girl from him. How wonderful it is to have such a well-behaved little girl like Lu Zhuer.”
Mother Li held Lu Zhu'er in her arms and listened to Sister-in-law Li's complaints. She didn't say anything bad about Kogoro, nor did she praise Lu Zhu'er for being so well-behaved. Mother Li said to Sister-in-law Li like this: "Let's go in, too. Don’t waste the tickets that Qiuniang left for our family.”
Yes, this time it was also the tickets that Tuva and Shen Qiuniang gave to us earlier, and the one left for the Li family still won the sixth place. , good location in the seventh and second rows.
Li Sanniang originally wanted to give her money, but Shen Qiuniang said to her: "Sanniang, doesn't this mean that she is separated from me?
My life is three. My wife saved me, but this child (little Lingzhi) now relies on the third lady to survive.
If I give you these tickets to the troupe, the third lady will have to settle with me, then I will really take it seriously. I won’t have the nerve to bother you anymore.”
Shen Qiuniang's words have reached this point, how can Li Sanniang refuse anymore?
So, today is the Lantern Festival, and everyone in the Li family came to the West Market to watch a show.
Today is the only day without curfew throughout the year. The Li family has decided that everyone will play until late at night before going home.
We watched the show, went to eat, and then separated. If you wanted to go to a teahouse to listen to books, you could go to the teahouse. There were also restaurants where you could listen to music, and you could also go shopping.
We’ll wait until it gets dark, then we’ll guess lantern riddles together and put out river lanterns to pray for blessings.
After everyone in the Li family entered the troupe, they quickly found where their tickets were. The men in the family sat on both sides of the two rows, sandwiching the women in between.
"Auntie, let me hug her."
"Come on, how old is she?
How can I still be alive when I am not even 70 or 80 years old? Can't you hold my heart?"
Li Sanniang smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to let Mother Li sit with Lu Zhu'er in her arms, while she and Qiuxiang sat aside.
"Baoya, sit between us."
Baoya obediently moved in from the outside and sat between Li Sanniang and Qiuxiang.
When Lu Zhuer saw Bao Ya coming, she wanted to go over and sit with Bao Ya. Mother Li had to let Lu Zhuer down and let Lu Zhuer sit with Bao Ya.
The gong sounded "dong dong dong", and sure enough in the center there was a man with pigtails walking back and forth beating the gong. This was to inform the people who came to watch the show, "The show is about to begin. Hurry up and sit down and wait."
“Sister-in-law, here.”
Li Sanniang took the two bags of steaming snacks handed over by Li Sanlang. They were wrapped in oil paper. Li Sanniang saw that one contained shortbread sprinkled with salt and pepper, and the other contained fried, crispy sugar-oiled fruits. .
As soon as Li Sanniang handed one of the packages to Qiuxiang, Li Erlang came over, holding four hawthorn fruits poured with syrup in one hand, "Sister-in-law, here."
Li Sanniang I only took three, one to Qiuxiang, one to Baoya, and I kept one to eat with Luzhu'er.
It’s the end of the month, and there’s still the last day of July. Time flies so fast!
