Chapter 451 Lantern Festival
Chapter 451 Lantern Festival
"That day at Uncle Jiang's house, I could tell that our Hao'er had a special crush on Yue."
"It seems... you are not stupid! Your mind is as clear as a mirror."
"As a father, I have to listen to you! Besides, we were also at that age!"
Lin Hua smiled proudly: "It's just that I won't be like him. Look at him, he looks so worthless."
After hearing this, Lin Hua's wife covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Yes, yes, you were worthless back then, but now that you are almost an old bone, you are the most valuable!"
"You... you don't even know whether I'm worth money or not!"
Lin Hua said this, walked to his wife with a smirk on his face, and reached out to rub her shoulders and neck.
He rubbed his shoulders and sighed meaningfully, "That day at the An family, I also heard Yueyue say that she had no intention of getting married for the time being. I think her analysis was very thorough."
"But our son is at the age of falling in love for the first time. If he meets a girl like Yue who is rational and has a long-term vision, I'm afraid he will suffer a lot!"
Lin Hua's wife waved her hand and shook her head, saying, "Well! Let him be! Maybe in a year or two, he will have a different idea."
"Well, Hao'er is still young, so he should focus on his studies."
After Lin Hua finished speaking, he walked to his original seat and sat down, then picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
In the yard of Lin Hao and his siblings, An Nian was sitting in the pavilion admiring various calligraphy and paintings.
An Yue was playing with a bunch of swords and other equipment, while Lin Hao sat beside her and discussed with An Yue the origin of each sword.
Before I knew it, it was already the end of the afternoon.
At this moment, a maid came from the backyard door and said softly, "Master, Madam, dinner is ready."
Lin Hua nodded, stood up and said to the three people in the pavilion: "Hao'er, Yueyue Niannian, it's time for dinner!"
Lin Hao turned around and said, "Okay! Dad."
......
After dinner, everyone sat in the reception hall and drank some tea.
Lin Hua's wife said with a smile: "Yueyue, Nian Nian, the Lantern Festival is about to begin. Let's go out for a walk and watch the fun. It's a good opportunity to help digest our food."
An Yue responded: "Yes, okay, Auntie."
An Yue took into consideration that An Nian was small in stature and there were many people on the street.
If you accidentally cause people to be squeezed or trampled, it will be too late to regret.
So she asked Da Niu to go out with her and keep close to Anyan.
The crowd walked out of the Lin family residence one after another and came to the street.
At this time, the streets were already crowded with people, and there were various stalls on both sides of the streets.
There were stalls selling masks, sugar figurines, calligraphy and paintings, performing arts acrobatics, lanterns, and so on.
Among them, the most common are lantern stalls, which are hung with lanterns of various shapes and sizes.
An Yue and An Nian looked at the lively scene, their eyes filled with uncontrollable excitement.
Two servants of the Lin family walked in front to lead the way, while Lin Hua and his wife led the siblings and Lin Hao through the crowd.
Lin Hao protected An Yue the whole time, while Daniu followed closely holding An Nian's hand.
At this time, Lin Hua turned around and said, "Nian Nian, Yue Yue, uncle will take you to the riverside. The riverside is the busiest place every year."
An Yue smiled and nodded, showing that she understood.
It took a lot of effort for the few of them to squeeze to the bridgehead over the river.
At this time, the sky began to darken.
I saw exquisite river lanterns floating in the river, with flickering candlelight.
Both sides of the river were filled with young and old, women and children, all laughing and talking happily.
A few people watched the people releasing river lanterns on the river bank for a while, then walked to the bridge to go to the other side of the river.
When they came to the west side of the river, they stopped to watch the wonderful performances, tasted various street snacks, and had a great time.
At this time, Lin Hua and his wife, who were walking in front, seemed to have met someone they knew.
So, Lin Hua turned his head and said, "Hao'er, Yueyue Niannian, you guys can hang out here for a while. I'll sit with your uncle in a nearby teahouse for a while, so don't go too far."
After saying that, Lin Hua ordered two servants to help look after the three children.
Lin Hua's wife was a little worried, and reminded him again: "Hao'er, when you are a few years older, you must pay more attention to Yueyue and Niannian!"
"Mom, don't worry!"
"Uncle, aunt, don't worry! We will not go far from here."
Only then did Lin Hua and his wife leave with peace of mind.
......
There were laughter and joy on the streets, and before we knew it, night had fallen.
The fireworks bloomed in the sky, brilliant and colorful, and the lantern festival became more lively.
An Yue looked at the fireworks in the sky and suddenly felt overwhelmed with emotion.
In this strange dynasty, there were such gorgeous fireworks, which gave her an illusion.
This illusion told her that she had returned to the 21st century.
She thought to herself: [I wonder if my relatives and friends in the 21st century are also celebrating the Lantern Festival?]
At this moment, Lin Hao came over and said to An Yue, "Sister An Yue, the lanterns on the street stalls over there are very beautiful. How about we go over and take a look?"
An Yue looked in the direction of Lin Hao's finger and saw that the lanterns on that stall were indeed beautiful.
There are lanterns of various colors, among which a pink rabbit lantern is particularly eye-catching.
Lin Hao led the brother and sister and walked quickly towards the stall. Da Niu followed closely behind them, not daring to be distracted at all.
Lin Hao walked over and asked while taking out the silver: "Boss, how much is this rabbit lantern?"
The boss smiled and replied, "Sir, those lanterns are the latest models of this year, and they are also the signature lanterns of my stall."
"If my brother likes it, then we have to consider the fate."
"What does this mean, boss?"
The boss explained: "Although this lantern is beautiful, it takes more than money. You have to guess the riddle on the lantern before I can sell it to you."
Lin Hao glanced at An Yue and found that An Yue had been staring at the rabbit lantern.
He replied: "Okay, then let's guess riddles."
The boss took down the lantern that An Yue liked and read out the riddle on it.
"..."
After hearing this, An Nian, who was standing by, quickly responded and guessed the first lantern correctly.
Seeing this, Lin Hao stood up and said, "Niannian, I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
An Nian took the lantern handed over by the boss, looked up at Lin Hao and smiled smugly: "It was just luck, just luck."
"Boss, keep guessing."
The boss took down another lantern and read the riddle on it.
"..."
When answering the question, the brother and sister deliberately let him answer, and Lin Hao guessed it correctly.
Lin Hao gave the lantern that he guessed correctly to An Yue.
An Yue reached out to take the lantern and thanked him, "Thank you, Brother Lin Hao."
Seeing this situation, the brother and sister cannot be the only ones to have lanterns.
So, An Yue also said: "Brother Lin Hao, Niannian and I both have lanterns, how about Niannian and I give you one too?"
