Tibetan Sea Pearl

The Peng family in the eastern suburbs outside the city also heard people mention this request.

"Do you want to go to the city to watch the lanterns?" She was counting the posts in her hand, looking at her daughter in front of her.

Miss Gu Jiu nodded timidly.

"My impression is that I went to see it once when I was young, riding on my father's head. It's been so long, I have forgotten it." She said slowly, "I want to see it again."

Ms. Gu Jiu has a round face that is cute and too small, so when she speaks in such a slow and soft manner, people can't bear to reject her.

She was raised in a deep boudoir since she was a child, and she also developed an arrogant temperament, and she often made demands.

I like the new clothes materials and the new rouge and gouache. Sometimes I get tired of staying in the country for a long time, and I will propose to go to the city to see my grandmother and uncle.

Everyone has their own preferences, and if you stay in one place for a long time, you will get bored and want to see another place.

Mr. Peng didn't take these things to heart either, these are all human nature.

Mrs. Peng thought that before Chinese New Year, her daughter proposed to go to Caiyunfang, but she didn't really want to make clothes. She was not too happy to invite the embroiderer from Caiyunfang to her home.

What's going on here?

The child has his own little thoughts when he grows up, so he doesn't tell his mother anymore.

"No." She put down the post and said, "The city is too far away, and there are people from Jinyiwei."

Her tone was not harsh, but before she finished speaking, Miss Gu Jiu's eye circles were red, and the eye sockets were full of tears, the tears were watery, and she was about to cry.

She has never been wronged since she was a child, and no matter what request she asks, there will be people around her who will try their best to do it and satisfy her.

Mrs. Peng had no choice but to explain to her with a smile, "Our family also makes lanterns every year during the Lantern Festival. If you want to see it, we will also hold a lantern show. Our home has mountains, water, and lakes. The place is so big."

Miss Gu Jiu had tears in her eyes but didn't cry out, "How can this be the same?"

"What's the difference? It's all lanterns." Peng said, "We also set up some lottery prizes. Whoever does it well will win 100 taels of silver at the Lantern Festival."

She still knows the tricks used in previous Lantern Festivals. She will choose the best lanterns to make it lively and attract people's attention.

Watching the lanterns is the same wherever you look, that is, to make it lively. When the time comes, she will call all the people in the clan to watch the lanterns, and there will be a lottery of 100 taels. I don't know how lively it will be.

Mrs. Peng didn't look at her daughter. She reached out to pick up the posts on the table and counted them to see who had posted greetings for her. Ordinary families don't need to go in person, just ask the housekeeper to post a greeting at the door. She needs to pay attention The most important are those big families.

Chinese New Year is also an opportunity to win over big families.

Seeing that her mother ignored her, Miss Gu Jiu knew that it was useless to cry.

Crying was a common method she used when she was a child, but it became more and more useless with her mother.

"What about my brother, will he stay at home to watch the lanterns?" she asked.

Peng secretly heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, that is, there will be no trouble anymore.

"He's going out with a few classmates to visit famous teachers. You know, he's going to end up next year." She raised her head and said, "I hope this time I can get what I want."

In this way, the Gu family can produce another Jinshi. After a few years, Elder Gu will retire, and Gu Yannian will take over the position of Elder Gu.

The predecessors planted trees, and the descendants took advantage of the shade. Gu Yannian will rise steadily.

If the son has an official title, she will also be rewarded as a mother, and then she will become a real imperial lady.

Their happy life after the second room is still long.

As for the big house, there are no successors, the sons below are muddy and can't support the wall, and they haven't even been selected as a scholar. They are like yellow leaves on an autumn tree, waiting to be slowly adjusted to zero.

……

As if in the blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is here.

Su Qing was wearing new clothes for the New Year, and was holding a small lotus lantern in her hand. The lantern was not big, but it was exquisite, and it quickly attracted people's attention.

A young man patted him on the shoulder, "Su Qing, you won a lantern so soon."

Su Qing lowered her eyes and looked at the lamp in her hand, "I didn't win, I did it."

"You made it?" The young people who watched the lantern together looked surprised, "You can also make lanterns?"

Su Qing nodded with a smile, "What's so rare about this, as long as you have the heart to do it, you can do it well."

As soon as the words fell, another young man stretched out his hand with a smile, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "It turned out to be you who made it, so give it to me. After shopping for so long, I didn't get a single one. It's too disappointing." gone."

"No." Su Qing refused without thinking.

"Brother Zhiyuan, don't steal people's love so much." A young man advised.

The young man who was called Zhiyuan snorted.

"Stingy."

Su Qing carried the lotus lantern and walked all the way forward. She didn't forget to turn her head and ask the people next to her, "Am I stingy?"

Someone put his shoulder on his shoulder with a smile, "It's really not that Su Qing is stingy, Su Qing's lantern is for the person he likes."

Lover?

This year's lanterns are extraordinarily colorful, shining on the faces of several young people, everyone's expressions are changing and their eyes are bright.

Several young people looked at each other, understood, and laughed.

Su Qing is engaged and is about to marry a wife. Unlike them, she looks at Su Qing with envy and jealousy.

"Brother Zhiyuan, if you want lanterns, guess the lantern riddles and win." A young man shouted.

According to the rules of the Lantern Festival, those who guess the lantern riddles can take away the lanterns.

They came out relatively late and just started shopping. Along the way, they saw a lot of teenagers parading through the city with a string of lanterns on their shoulders. It was indeed a very elegant and eye-catching thing.

There is nothing to be envious of. Guessing lantern riddles requires brains. They are not scholars, but they can also read and write, and they can still guess ordinary lantern riddles.

Everyone talked and laughed and moved on.

A large group of people gathered in front of them, blocking the way forward.

"What are you looking at?" The young people surrounded him.

During the Lantern Festival, everything here is related to lanterns, but the lanterns at this stall are a bit special, made of colored glass, crystal clear, and under the radiant lights on the street, it looks even more like a dream.

It's really beautiful, many girls exclaimed.

A group of scholars gathered under the lantern, all eager to try, trying to guess the lantern riddles hanging on the glazed lantern.

"Let's try too." The young man called Zhiyuan greeted everyone, stretched out his hand and twisted the small note hanging under the glazed lamp.

Several other people who came together also rushed in one after another, and if they guessed right, they could get a glazed lantern.

Only Su Qing stood aside, looking at them with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Su Qing, why don't you give it a try?" Someone poked Su Qing's arm.

Su Qing smiled, "I won't try, I'm afraid I won't be able to guess it."

"Stop pretending." Zhi Yuan turned his head, curled his lips and said, "Your knowledge is the best among us."

"You can't even guess it, let alone us." The young man said.

"There's no shame in not being able to guess." Someone in the crowd yelled.

"We can't even guess it." Many people said in unison.

Glazed lanterns are beautiful, but lantern riddles are also difficult to guess.
