Chapter 113 New Year's Eve
"This Kyoto is different from our Shu County. It is so lively every year."
On New Year's Eve, after the customary palace banquet, the Su family reunited. Su Wu and Chang protected their grandparents on the left and right as they walked on the tax street in Kyoto, with Su Zijin following behind his parents.
Grandma was in high spirits today. She took her daughter, and occasionally Su Zijin, to see the New Year's Eve decorations prepared by the merchants on Taxation Street.
The most decorated items are naturally the lanterns. Lanterns of various styles and sizes are hung on both sides of the street in an orderly manner. It can be said that every step of the way is a scene, and every step of the five steps is a stop, which is dizzying for people to see.
The lantern decoration at the entrance of Tin Fook House, the largest building on Taxation Street, has always been the most prestigious, either because of its unusual size or its unique style. However, not long after dark, it was already crowded with people who came to watch it.
None of the Su family likes to be in the limelight. At this time, they were only standing on the periphery, watching the lively scene in front.
"It turned out to be a lantern riddle. It's a pity that I need to write down the answer to the riddle myself. Otherwise, Zijin could go up and give it a try."
Su Zijin's soft calligraphy made his family even frown when they saw it, let alone show their timidity at this time.
Facing his grandfather's teasing, Su Zijin smiled calmly and said, "It's just a few words. If you are interested, I will go up and embarrass you. It doesn't matter."
Mr. Chang shook his head and said, "Forget it. I think in my whole life, I have never had any shortcomings that others have caught."
The way he shook his head and sighed made people laugh.
"Sitting is also walking, standing is walking, walking is walking, lying down is walking, sir, what is this?"
The crowd was bustling, and suddenly a voice reached Su Zijin's ears.
Unless they have a stunning appearance, everyone in this vast sea of people is an ordinary person who cannot be seen at a glance. But this voice is exceptionally cool. And it sounds like the owner of the voice should also know that he is
This is his strength, so he can speak every word very clearly. Not only Su Zijin, but also everyone around him was attracted by this voice. It's not that they all have any thoughts, but they are just out of normal curiosity and want to know.
Who is the owner of this voice?
In the midst of the celebration, a pretty little beauty, wearing a green skirt trimmed with white fur, looked extraordinarily pure. Her eyebrows were affectionate, and she was looking at the young master she was talking about with a shining light.
This young master is no one else, he is Cui Lingchuan, the prefect of Pingqiu.
"Isn't that Cui Lingchuan? He came out alone during the Chinese New Year."
Su Wu followed his daughter's gaze and saw Cui Lingchuan, and said casually.
Chang said disapprovingly, "Where is a person, but he also has a confidante? I have long heard that Cui Gongzi made great efforts in enlightenment during his tenure. At the funeral of an old scholar who had taught in Pingqiu for more than 30 years, for
I was grateful for the old scholar's contribution to Pingqiu's education, and paid for her to be buried in a grand manner. As a result, the old scholar's daughter volunteered to be a slave to serve Mr. Cui in order to repay the favor. No, now she has been brought to Beijing."
Women and men usually look at problems from different perspectives.
When Mrs. Chang said this, Su Wu didn't notice the maid at first, but at this time he also frowned, "It looked fine before, but I didn't expect that she was so clumsy in her work."
The Su family ignored Cui Lingchuan and his maid and looked at the lantern of Tianfu Tower, a huge rabbit.
Next year is the Year of the Rabbit. This rabbit is not only huge, but also cute and cute. The shopkeeper of Tianfu Building also distributed a small rabbit of the same style under the rabbit. The warm body, red eyes, and cute little rabbit lamp attracted everyone.
A group of children jumped around the shopkeeper and stretched out their arms to receive it.
Su Zijin looked at it for a few times, then looked at his smiling grandparents, and sighed, "Well, people say they are old children, old children. Seeing my grandparents looking so fascinated, I reluctantly went to get two of them back.
.”
After saying that, without waiting for the family to react, Su Zijin stepped over and took advantage of his body shape to reach out for the little rabbit.
Su Zijin has just grown hair now and has not grown hair yet. Among all the children, except for the taller one, looking at his face alone, he has baby fat, almond-shaped eyes, and clear black and white eyes. He looked at the shopkeeper. Although the shopkeeper was stunned.
After a while, he reached out and gave Su Zijin a rabbit lantern.
Su Zijin took the rabbit lantern and shamelessly extended a hand, "The old man in my family loves this little gadget as he gets older. Please give me another one, shopkeeper."
As he said this, Su Zijin pointed at his maternal grandparents who were waiting aside.
Seeing this, Mrs. Chang turned around and left, holding his wife, "Just take it, what do you mean? I'm just trying to have a good time, how can I not give it to you?"
After a while, Su Zijin came over with a rabbit lantern and handed it to his grandfather, "Here, it's freezing cold, you can hold it for grandma."
Mrs. Chang muttered, but still took the rabbit lantern from Su Zijin. The grandfather and grandson each held one in front of him. The servant wanted to take it, but neither of them did anything.
On New Year's Eve, the streets are lively, and of course the old teahouses and restaurants are also indispensable.
After walking for a while, the Su family entered a teahouse. On the stage in the middle, I don't know which famous artist was invited. Anyway, the singing was so comfortable for people to listen to.
"Hey, the Marquis Wu family is here too? What a coincidence. I said it's strange. No matter who comes today, I just don't want to take him in to the Peony Hall. I am waiting for you in my heart? Old Master, Old Madam
, Mr. Hou, Mrs. Hou, and Miss, please come in quickly!"
The shopkeeper's smiling face greeted everyone, and the Su family happily followed the shopkeeper upstairs.
The teahouse has a total of three floors. If you are talking about luxury, the third floor is of course. If you are talking about bustling, then the lobby is the best place. But the best place to listen to music in the teahouse can only be the second floor. It does not lose the liveliness and is a great place to listen to music.
It was also clearer. The Peony Hall was on the second floor, facing the stage. The Su family came up, nodded to the other families, and entered the Peony Hall.
There is no greater gift than heaven. Normally, there is no respect between superiors and inferiors, but today everyone is celebrating New Year's Eve. No one is so particular about it. Those who know each other nod, and those who don't know each other smile when they meet. This time it is the right thing to do.
The Su Wu family did not ask anyone to wait on them and let them play by themselves. Su Zijin got up and served tea to the elders.
Family happiness is nothing more than this.
"This voice, hey! I was born to eat this kind of food."
As soon as the opera was finished, Grandma Tao saw the excitement, stretched out her hand, took off the green bracelet on her wrist, and was about to throw it on the stage.
Everyone looked at it with smiles, and Su Zijin quickly went up to do it for him.
Needless to say, this big family, mother and daughter Chang, came from a long-standing wealthy background. Su Wu was naturally not sensitive to these jewelry. Although grandma Tao did not specifically mention the family's background, she did not take things for granted.
I also know how to do it, and I have never lacked it since I was a child.
Su Zijin was born to love money and things. He didn't have to have a lot of things, but he just didn't want to see good things being wasted.
At that moment, Su Zijin took his grandmother's green bracelet and said, "Don't bother, I'll do it." After saying that, Su Zijin did it for him and skillfully threw his grandmother's bracelet into the arms of Jiao'er who was thanking his guests.
The guy was also very discerning. He took the bracelet abruptly and immediately raised his head and cupped his hands to express his thanks to the person upstairs.
Grandma smiled with crooked eyebrows and waved her hands.
On this New Year's Eve, it is the right time for heaven and earth to be together.
"Hurry, it's bad, there are gangsters on the street!"
