Two days later, Li Fu met Mr. Qin. He didn't know what they talked about, but Mr. Qin stayed with him to work and conspired with him.
Li Lin and Su Wan ignored it after learning about it.
On November 11, the Plum Blossom Festival in Meicheng City, Su Wan took some palace lanterns and asked them to hang them on the plum trees in the yard. When it got dark, everyone in the house went out to play together.
There has been no snow in the past few days, but the weather is so cold that the snow on the branches on the ground has not yet melted. Looking up, there is white snow everywhere.
The group of people set off in a carriage, and when they reached the street, they split into two groups. Li Lin and Su Wan, the couple, took their guards and a few people following them, while Li Fu and Zhao Mingjing led others to the other side.
Palace lanterns are hung one after another on the plum trees in the street, with various patterns on them. When you look up, you will see a picture of thousands of plum trees blooming and the palace lanterns bright.
People were coming and going on the street, men and women, old and young, it was extremely lively.
They happened to walk to a stall selling palace lanterns. Su Wan and Li Lin chose two lanterns, one with plum blossoms and a bright moon, and the other with green plums hanging shyly on the branches.
After choosing, she asked the person behind her if she wanted one.
The guards naturally don't want these things. They don't dare to be interested in returning to the river to travel far away.
Xiao Sang, on the other hand, wanted one. She wanted one with Chang'e flying to the moon. Although it was no longer the Mid-Autumn Festival, she still thought this one was beautiful.
Su Wan looked around and felt that these palace lanterns were not as beautiful as those hanging on the trees.
Li Lindao: "These palace lanterns are prepared by the government office in the city. The annual Plum Blossom Festival is as big a festival as the Chinese New Year for Meicheng. Moreover, there are many visitors to Meicheng at this time, and major industries in the city make money." It’s the most profitable time of the year, so it’s natural to do better.”
"Those palace lanterns were painted by painters hired by the government office. If Madam wants them, go and have a look at the entrance of the government office. There should be some for sale."
"No, no, no." Su Wan shook his head after hearing this, "That's it. The government office is several blocks away from here, so you can't go there. Besides, we won't be able to take it with us when we go back, so don't bother. "
"If the purchase is too good, I won't be able to part with it later. Besides, I have better lamps at home."
This best lamp was naturally made for her by his own hands. It is still kept in the warehouse and has to be looked at every few months for fear of being infested with moths.
"Then I won't buy it. Let's go and watch the fun."
A group of people poured into the crowd, and there were many performances on the street, including lion and dragon dances, troupes, and ironworkers. They looked dazzling and dazzling, like fireworks.
During the iron flower performance, a six-meter-high double-layered flower shed needs to be set up in an open space. The shed is densely covered with fresh willow branches and tied with fireworks and firecrackers.
A six-meter-high old pole was erected in the middle of the shed, bringing the total height of the shed to more than ten meters. A furnace was set up next to it to melt the iron juice. More than ten performers took turns using flower sticks to hit the iron juice with a temperature of more than a thousand degrees. On the shed, an iron flower more than ten meters high formed.
The iron flowers lit up the fireworks and firecrackers, coupled with the performance of "Dragon Crossing Flowers", the scene was spectacular, exciting and thrilling. (Baidu content)
The group of people watched from a distance, and Su Wan almost closed her eyes. It was really beautiful, but it was also exciting. She felt like her heart was going to jump out.
When she left, she asked Suichuan to give a piece of silver to each person who came up to ask for money.
After looking at the iron flower, I continued walking down the street and watched the excitement along the way. When I felt hungry, I went to a restaurant to have a meal of mutton stew. The group ordered a sheep and also ordered food and drinks.
Su Wan ate the tender lamb ribs and drank some fruit wine. In the middle of winter, eating a pot of stewed lamb made her whole body warm. No wonder she wanted to eat it every day when traveling far away.
Everyone enjoyed the meal. Probably the only drawback was that they couldn't drink. There were people everywhere today, and it was night. They were on duty, so they were afraid that they might miss something if they drank.
After finishing the meal, the group walked for a while and heard someone talking about a poetry meeting being held in the Plum Garden, so they walked back to the Plum Garden.
Tonight, the Plum Garden is also extremely lively. The owner of the Plum Garden has organized a poetry competition here. In order to attract people to participate, there are also prizes. If you can get the first place, you will get three hundred taels of silver, and the second place will be two hundred taels. Two taels of silver, and the third is one hundred taels of silver.
This small amount of silver is nothing to a wealthy clan, but to an ordinary student, it is a huge amount of money. No matter how capable you are, everyone comes to join in the fun, just in case something goes wrong. I was blind for a day.
There were also some clan princes who wanted to stand out and joined in. The two groups came together, making it even more lively.
The couple saw Wang Lizhi in the middle of the crowd.
At this time, Wang Lizhi was sitting behind a desk, wearing a white robe woven with gold lotus flowers and a white fox fur cloak. He was dignified and elegant, and he was still a cool and handsome young master.
Su Wan thought to himself, this life is still very beautiful, it would be nice if he didn't just cause trouble for people casually.
Wang Lizhi's eyes swept through the crowd, and when he saw these two people, he raised his hand to call someone, and gave instructions. The person glanced this way, then said yes, and walked over to invite someone.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Ninth, please sit over there with your wife."
Li Lin refused: "My wife and I are just here to watch the fun, so we won't go there. I thanked the Ninth Young Master for me, and I asked someone to find a seat upstairs, and we went upstairs in a while."
When the visitor saw that he refused, he was a little confused. It was probably the first time he saw someone who dared to refuse the Ninth Young Master's invitation, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Li Lindao: "Just tell him like this."
At this moment, Huifeng also came back: "Mrs. Master, no one on the third floor is willing to give up his seat, but there is one on the second floor. Is it okay?"
Su Wan said: "The second floor is the second floor. We arrived late, so it would be nice to have a seat."
Li Lin also nodded: "Then go to the second floor. You go and take care of things. We will go up in a while."
Hui Feng said yes, and then went to communicate with others.
There are still people who are willing to give up their positions, probably because the money is too good.
Su Wan sighed: "Where to go next time, we must remember to book the location in advance. I don't know how many times it will cost, and making money is not easy."
Li Lin just wanted to laugh: "What? Are you afraid that I won't be able to support you?"
Su Wan smiled when he heard this, stretched out his hand and tugged on his sleeves: "I'm outside, be more serious and let people laugh."
