Chapter 161, Lantern Festival

  In the first month, the provincial government is very lively, and various juggling performances on the street take turns every day.

  In the past few days, Li Xingnian often took Daohua and Li's brothers and sisters out to hang out, or buy things, or eat tea and listen to books. The few children have a lot of fun every day.

  In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is here.

   "Cousin Zixuan, do we need to go out so early?" Daohua opened her pocket watch and took a look. It was only four quarters (18 o'clock in the afternoon) that it was still on.

Li Zixuan pulled the rice flower on the horse, and said: "It's not early, you don't know the first time you come. There are so many people on the street during the Lantern Festival every year. If you go out late, you will definitely be blocked on the road. "

   "If we want to see the floats parading the street, we have to go ahead of time, otherwise, at night, the whole main street is full of people, and we can't move at all."

  After hearing this, Daohua stopped talking, and silently followed Li's cousin into the carriage.

  Because of concerns about safety, this time, the two uncles and two aunts are going to go. At this moment, they are already in the carriage in front of them. After Daohua's several children are seated, the carriage drove towards the main street.

  When there were two streets from the main street, Daohua followed the Li family and got out of the car.

  "We have to walk on foot on the road afterwards. There are too many people here, and the carriage can't pass." Li Zixuan explained to Daohua in a low voice.

  Ina Hua nodded, but she could see it without her cousin's explanation.

  Now the sky is still dark, and the streets are already crowded.

  After Li Xingnian arranged a parking place for the carriage, everyone walked toward the main street.

   "Chen Yi, you boys, don't just focus on your own play, but be optimistic about your three younger sisters!" Li Xingnian exhorted.

  Li Chenyi immediately replied: "Don't worry, second uncle, we will take good care of our sisters."

After   , Li Chenyi took the lead and took a few younger brothers and sisters and walked quickly towards the established restaurant.

   "Big cousin is so considerate!"

During the    period, Yan Wenxiu has been walking beside the Daohua trio, and from time to time he stretched out his hands to stop the people who collided around him.

  Hearing Li Zixuan’s words, Daohua covered her mouth and smiled: “My eldest brother is naturally good. It would be better if he doesn’t usually talk about the rules and etiquette.”

  Li Zixuan saw Daohua making a strange appearance, and said with a smile: "You are content, we want such a gentle and knowledgeable brother yet."

  Ina Flower: "The three cousins ​​are also very good, the eldest cousin is calm, the second cousin is hearty, and the third cousin is gentle and attentive. If there is any delicious or fun thing, I think about you, he looks like a big brother!"

  Li Zixin curled her lips: "That's not because you are here. They won't take us to play when we are in peace."

   Daohua smiled: "Boys and girls play different things. I think being a brother is a good brother as long as he can protect his sister."

  Suddenly, Li Zixuan pulled Daohua into a trot: "Stop talking, I will be at the restaurant we ordered soon."

  On the main street, all the shops are illuminated, and the major restaurants are overcrowded.

   "My little ancestors, slow down, don't get lost." The aunt reminded her from time to time.

  Even if Daohua and his party came out very early, when they arrived at the scheduled restaurant, it was already dark.

   "God, it's finally here, I feel like I'm almost squeezed!"

   Entering the restaurant's private room, Yan Wenkai exaggerated, and the others laughed.

   Isn’t it? It’s like a war.

  The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the weather was still relatively cold, but after walking like this, Dao Peanut was tired out of sweat. After entering the private room, he had to take out a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead.

  Sister Li Zixuan took Daohua to the window and looked at the dense crowd outside.

  Li Zixin: "Fortunately, Dad has booked the restaurant in advance, otherwise, we have to follow outside and crowd with others."

  Li Zixuan looked around for a while, and said with some regret: "It would be great if I could book the position upstairs, so that I could see a little further."

  Li Xingchang booked a private room on the first floor, and just like that, he only got it through his relationship.

  Li Zixin sighed: "On the day of Lantern Festival, it is hard to find a restaurant on the main street. Daddy only booked this private room ten days in advance."

  Ina Flower can be heard with tongue.

   "Oh, isn't this Li's sister?"

  Suddenly, a lovely female voice came from outside the private room.

  The private room was open. As soon as Daohua turned her head, she saw a few little girls dressed in jewels looking at them.

  Li Zixuan smiled and nodded in response.

Li Zixin turned her head and curled her lips, and said in a low voice to Daohua: "That's the girls from the president of the Provincial Chamber of Commerce. They usually arrogantly relied on their family background. Seeing that we were also indifferent to answering. Look like."

  "Today, I took the initiative to say hello to us, definitely to show that their wealth is big, they have a wide relationship, and they can book a good private room."

Sure enough, the little girl in the lead laughed and asked loudly: "Sister Li, why are you sitting on the first floor and not on the second floor?"

  As soon as these words came out, the other little girls turned to laughter.

  Li Zixin immediately said: "We like to sit on the first floor."

The young lady from the president’s house covered her mouth and smiled: “What can you see on the first floor, the head or the back?”

  Li Zixin angrily said: "We like to look at the back of people's heads. This restaurant is only the second floor high. You guys are only slightly taller than us. What are you proud of?"

The smile on the face of the president’s lady was stagnant, she glared at Li Zixin, her gaze suddenly fell on Daohua, and she looked at the person from head to toe, and when she saw her well-dressed, she smiled and asked: "This little sister seems to have not seen her. Who is it?"

  Li Zixin: "Of course you haven't seen it. This is my aunt's cousin."

  Hearing this, the president’s lady's eyes moved. It seems that Li Zixin’s aunt is married to an official?

   Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Our house has a private room upstairs. The three sisters sitting on the first floor probably can't even see the shelf of the float, why don't they come with us?" The tone was high in charity.

  Li Zixuan and Li Zixin did not speak, but looked at Daohua.

Seeing the two of them looking at herself, Daohua glanced at the uncles and aunts in the private room who didn't seem to notice their situation, and smiled: "I think the first floor is pretty good, and I think this sister has a lot of family members. Yes, we won't go there and bother."

  Li Zixin nodded immediately: "Yes, we won't pass."

The president's lady frowned, and soon covered it, and continued with a smile: "The Lantern Festival is only once a year. What's the matter with you sitting on the first floor and looking at the heads of people? No matter, who will let us meet each other? My sisters are squeezing, you can go up with us."

  Hearing this, Daohua was a little stunned.

  The young lady in the president’s house is a little bit awkward. Didn’t you hear them say it?

  Li Zixin coldly snorted: “If you want to see the best view of the floats, you still have to be upstairs in Chong.

The lady from the president's house was choked, and a trace of anger flashed across her face.

  If she hadn't thought that the relatives of the Li family were officials, she would not bother to stand here and waste her mouth.

  Aside, none of the four adults in the Li family asked about the children's affairs, and they joked and laughed on their own.

  At this moment, someone came in again from the restaurant.

  This time there were adults who came in, who happened to be the home of the Chamber of Commerce President Sun Da and other merchants.

  Master Sun saw Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian, he immediately smiled and said, “How did the two Li bosses book a private room on the first floor? Let’s go, we have a spot on the second floor. Go up to the second floor to see.”

  Li Xingchang refused with a smile: "Thank you Sun Da for your kindness, but it's not very convenient to bring a female family member this time. Next time."

  A businessman stood up and smiled without a smile: "Boss Li has made a fortune, so he doesn't look down on us?"

  Li Xingchang did not answer the conversation. Last year, selling watermelons gave the Li family a lot of limelight. Many of these people are jealous.

  The head of the grandson looked at the people in the room, and his eyes focused on the three brothers and sisters of the Yan family: "Or, let a few small ones go up?"

  Li Xingnian smiled and said, "The children in my family are too noisy, so I won’t bother them."

  Master Sun looked at the Li brothers with a smile, did not try to persuade him, stood and chatted for a few words, turned around and left with his daughter and others.

   "This Li family is really ignorant!"

   A low laugh of unknown meaning was introduced into the private room.

   Daohua glanced at her uncle and aunt, and saw that they had no response, so she threw away her hand.

After   , some people came in one after another in the restaurant, many of whom knew the Li family.

   Seeing the Li family sitting on the first floor, they all showed a complacent expression on their faces. They came over with a false impression and invited them, satisfying their inner comparability, and then walked away.

   Daohua saw that Uncle Li's and aunts looked strange, with a smile on her face all the time, she dared to admire her, and at the same time she sighed with emotion in her heart.

  Where there are really people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are opportunities.

  The location of the restaurant on the main street ordered by Li’s family is not the best. Almost all restaurants with good locations are contracted by family members and officials.

  The float parade is from the end of the main street to the Chonglou side of the main street, and then in front of the Chonglou, the lanterns are lit, and the lanterns are in full bloom.

  So, they can only watch the excitement.

  Not long before Daohua and the others waited, the streets began to rush.

  The float is about to parade.

  Even if you can only see the human head, Daohua is full of interest. It is very exciting to participate in this kind of fun for the whole people and feel the lively and lively atmosphere.

  At this moment, a team of guards walked into the restaurant quickly and walked straight to the private room of Daohua.

   "Girl Yan, Young Master Yan, I finally found you."

   Seeing Zhao Ergou, Daohua was surprised: "Why are you here?"

  Zhao Ergou smiled: "The master is watching the lantern upstairs in Chong, waiting for you to pass."
