This sister Lin is really attentive. She even thought of this. She is really thoughtful.
"Thank you, Sister Lin, for taking the trouble. I will definitely take the time to take a good look at it when I take it back. Maybe one day I will be happy and really take the exams and come back, which will also make my sister more beautiful."
After hearing this, Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Even if brother Cong passes the exam, it's only your own glory. What does it have to do with my sister?"
Jia Cong smiled and said: "How could it be irrelevant? Sister Lin is my husband. If I really win, it is also my sister's credit."
Daiyu said with a smile: "Then you come back with a top score for me, otherwise I won't listen to you."
Jia Cong said with a bitter face: "Sister Lin, let's forget about this top pick. It's too high-profile. Let's leave it to others. As long as we can get a scholar."
"Bah, you are too embarrassing for me. Are you content with just being a scholar?"
Jia Cong said: "Sister Lin, just be content with yourselves. Even the Imperial Academy has never produced a top scholar. If you really teach a champion, how can you embarrass the world's scholars?"
Tan Chun said with a smile: "You two are really good. You haven't even written a single stroke yet, and you're already blowing the whistle. I'm going to fail the exam. Let's see if you are embarrassed."
"That's because the teacher is not good at teaching. It has nothing to do with the students."
"That's because the students don't study hard, not Mr. Ben's problem."
The two said almost in unison.
Then the two looked at each other and laughed together.
Shi Xiangyun quietly came to the old lady and whispered in her ear for a while. When Jia Mu nodded, he ran over happily.
"Third brother, the old lady promised to let me go see the lanterns with you. Let's go."
Jia Cong looked in disbelief. How could the old lady agree? Is your brain broken?
The young ladies of this era are particular about staying close to home, staying close to home, never appearing in public, not being particularly close relatives, and not even knowing what they look like.
Those women who appear in public are either forced by life, or they are the daughters of small families, or they are from families that do not pay attention to rules.
"Sister Yun, I don't believe it. I want to ask the old lady myself."
Before he could speak, Shi Xiangyun shouted: "Old lady, third brother doesn't want to take me to see the lanterns, I'm afraid you won't let me go."
Mother Jia glanced at the children and said with a smile: "Brother Cong, if your sister Yun wants to see it, just take her to see it. It's not a big deal."
Jia Cong was very curious. He didn't know how Yun Yatou told the old lady and got her to agree. Since the old lady agreed, he had nothing to say, so let's go.
Jia Cong smiled and said: "The old lady has spoken, so there is no problem. I will take Sister Yun to see the lanterns in a moment."
Shi Xiangyun smiled and said: "Third brother, I didn't lie to you, then let's go."
This girl is still impatient and will leave as soon as she says it.
Let's go then. Go early and come back early. The two of them went out and found Qingwen and others. They also called Xiangyun's maid Cuixi and went back to their own house first.
I'm really worried about going like this so late at night. I'll ask a bunch of servants to follow me when I go back to make it safer.
He asked Wangcai to prepare the carriage, and summoned a team of servants to protect him. He took the people to the backyard and asked several little girls to change into men's clothes, so that it would be more convenient to go outside.
Ping'er asked with some worry: "Third Master, it's okay for you to go to the lantern festival, but it's not a good idea to take Miss Shi Da there? What if the old lady finds out, that would be terrible."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Sister Ping'er, don't worry. It was the old lady who asked me to take Yun Yatou. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to take her out. I won't take you this time. There are too many people to take care of her. I won't wait until next year." I’ll take you to see it alone.”
Ping'er nodded and said: "Third Master, you should be careful, take more people with you, and try to come back as early as possible before it is too late."
"I understand, Sister Ping'er, you can play at home by yourself. We will set off fireworks when I come back."
Soon, seven handsome boys appeared in front of them.
Shi Xiangyun stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said carelessly: "My younger brother Shi Dalang, I have met my third brother."
Not to mention that he looked a bit boyish, Jia Cong smiled and said: "Brother Shi, since we are ready, let's go."
Several people got on the carriage, surrounded by a group of servants and guards, and rushed to the lantern festival in Beicheng.
Soon we arrived at the lantern festival in Beicheng. We found a place to park the car and let the handlebars stay to watch the car. The group walked into the sea of lights.
I saw lights all over the city, reflecting the night sky like daylight.
Thousands of houses in the city are lit up with lanterns, and the fragrance of flowers fills the air. Rich beauties in carved BMW cars, and men and women from ordinary families, old and young, are walking slowly among them.
You can watch horses and flowers, watch dragon and lion dances, listen to music and commentaries, and all kinds of talent performances are overwhelming.
There were so many people at this lantern party. Jia Cong held Shi Xiangyun with his left hand and Qingwen with his right hand. He was really afraid that people would disappear in the blink of an eye. Cui Lu held Shi Xiangyun's other hand, and the four girls in spring, summer, autumn and winter were guarding him. about.
Wangcai and ten servants followed behind him, looking around with vigilance.
"Wow! Third brother, it's so lively here. These lanterns are so beautiful. They are much prettier than the ones at home. There is a lion dance over there. Let's go and watch."
Qingwen also shouted: "Third Master, look over there. There are many people guessing lantern riddles?"
Along the way, several little girls kept chattering and were very excited. If they hadn't pulled them hard, they would have run out long ago.
Several people walked forward along with the flow of people. On both sides were various kinds of lanterns, mainly palace lanterns, including four-corner palace lanterns, hexagonal palace lanterns, octagonal palace lanterns, round palace lanterns, flower basket palace lanterns, Pisces palace lanterns, gourd palace lanterns, and many other varieties.
There are also some lamp trees, lamp posts, lamp wheels, carp lanterns, rabbit lanterns, lotus lanterns, etc. embellished among them, making it look more colorful.
Gradually, various large-scale lanterns came into view, such as Colorful Lotus Boat, Qiongzhan Jade Platform, Silver Moth and Golden Bullet, Eight Immortals Holding Longevity Holders, Seven Saints Subduing Demons, One-foot-long Chrysanthemum, Merchant Dan'er, Bao Lao Che'er, and Five Ghosts Making Punishment. , House of Flying Daggers, Two Dragons Playing with Pearls, Watching Flowers, Peacock Spreading Its Tail, etc.
After watching them one by one, even Jia Cong was filled with admiration. Some of his fantastic ideas are even more astonishing. The wisdom of this ancient man is not inferior to that of today's people.
"Wow! It's so beautiful, so beautiful. Third Master, look, the peacock over there is about to open its tail. Let's go over and have a look."
Several people walked over and saw the big peacock slowly opening its huge, colorful tail.
Shi Xiangyun blinked and looked for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Third brother, how does this peacock's tail open?"
Jia Cong looked at it carefully and responded: "There should be a mechanism inside. After it is activated, it will slowly open, close, and open again, and it will start over and over again."
"Oh, third brother knows so much."
Jia Cong smiled and pulled the two of them to continue walking forward.
At this time, I had almost walked around and walked around the lantern festival for an hour. The number of people at the lantern festival was gradually decreasing, and it was time to go back.
"Sister Yun, we have watched it once. It's time to go home. When we get back, we will set off fireworks."
Shi Xiangyun cheered, "That's great, third brother, I heard from the fourth girl that you let it go for half an hour on the night of the 30th, and even let it go until dawn on the first day of the new year. How long should we let it go tonight?"
Jia Cong smiled and was about to answer.
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the corner in front and rushed toward him.
