Poor Family

In a blink of an eye, it was the 9th year of Jiankang.

This year's Chinese New Year, because there are more in-laws in Anguo Gong's mansion, there are more relatives and friends visiting Shi's family than in previous years. From the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the uncle's mansion is very lively.

In this joyous excitement, Shi Zhenghe and Jin Yue'e felt a little lonely and regretful because Shi Dingxuan did not go home for the New Year.

"I wonder if Goro is doing well outside?"

"It must be good, our Goro is not alone, he is accompanied by his wife."

"It's good to have a daughter-in-law. With a daughter-in-law, you have a family. With a family, even if you are not by our side, Wulang will be loved by someone."

Jin Yue'e looked at Shi Fuxin who was setting off firecrackers with Shi Dinghao in the yard, and couldn't help but sigh: "Sister Yin didn't celebrate the New Year with us this year, I'm really not used to it."

"Sister Xin will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year, and in a year or two, she will leave our side."

When mentioning the eldest daughter who married into An Guogong's mansion, and the younger daughter who had reached the age of marriage, Shi Zhenghe's mood also became depressed. Looking at his wife who was full of reluctance, he forced a smile and comforted him: "It's okay, we still have more What about Kuro?"

"Wulang is on an errand in the south. There is no way around it, but Jiulang is by our side. When he gets married, you will have a daughter-in-law to accompany him."

Hearing this, Jin Yue'e's face became more smiling, and she discussed with Shi Zhenghe happily: "Master, what kind of girl do you think Jiulang likes?"

Shi Zhenghe thought for a while: "Jiulang is a little out of character, I think a calmer girl is more suitable for him."

Jin Yue'e nodded approvingly: "Jiulang works in the palace every day, and has no chance to get in touch with girls. I have to help him look."

On the day of the Lantern Festival, after breakfast and dinner, the girls and young masters of the family went out to play under the leadership of the uncle and grandma of the Shi family.

"There are many people who watch the lanterns, so you must take good care of your younger brothers and sisters."

Mrs. Shi asked repeatedly before allowing the children of the family to leave the house.

It was still bright, and Chang'an Avenue was crowded with pedestrians looking at the floats.

Shi Dingrong booked a private room in the restaurant in advance. For safety reasons, he brought his younger siblings to the private room of the restaurant as soon as he arrived at Chang'an Street.

"There are too many people on the street. Instead of crowding with people below, it's better to just stand here and watch. This way the line of sight will be wider."

Shi Fuxin felt bored sitting in the private room all the time, so she said to Shi Dingrong, "Brother, I want to go down for a walk."

Shi Dingrong was a little hesitant.

Shi Dinghao quickly smiled and said, "Brother, I am with Sixth Sister."

"And me." Shi Dingxu quickly winked at Shi Dinghao, indicating that he would also go down for a walk.

Uncle Shi knew about Shi Dinghao's kung fu, he looked at him and said, "Then you have to protect Sixth Sister."

Shi Dinghao nodded hurriedly, smiled and left the restaurant with Shi Fuxin and Shi Dingxu.

When the others saw it, they were a little moved, but Shi Dingrong didn't allow it.

"There will be a few stampede incidents every year during the Lantern Festival. Jiulang and Sixth Sister have their skills, so I dared to let them leave. You should stay in the private room."

"These lanterns on the street are the same every year, and it's not interesting to see too many of them." Shi Dingxu felt that the lanterns were not worth seeing.

But Shi Dinghao said: "Looking at the lanterns is only one aspect. We are mainly here to feel the lively and festive atmosphere. Look at the smiles on the faces of these people on the street, don't you think they are also very happy?"

Shi Dingxu really took a serious look at the expressions of the people around him, then shook his head: "I don't know these people, and whether they are happy or not has nothing to do with me."

Shi Dinghao squinted at him: "You are really boring." Then, he ran up to talk to Shi Fuxin, "Sister, why are you unhappy?"

Shi Fuxin: "Watching lanterns alone is a bit boring."

Shi Dinghao stared: "Why are you looking at the lanterns alone, isn't Shiro and I accompanying you?"

Shi Fuxin glanced at him: "People are different." She said, looking at a man and a woman walking in front of her, holding a lotus lantern with twin stems in their hands.

The man racked his brains to make the girl happy, and the girl covered her mouth and smiled brightly. Every time she saw the girl smile, the man also grinned.

There are so many people around, but these two people only have each other in their eyes.

Looking at it from a distance, you can feel the dividend bubble between the two.

But she is a single dog.

Shi Dinghao noticed that his sister was always looking at the people in front, thinking that she liked the lanterns in their hands, and said with a smile: "Sister, there are lantern riddles ahead, I'll win you one later."

Shi Fuxin, however, was somewhat dispirited: "You give me lanterns every year, and I'm numb." Sighing, "It would be great if someone else gave it to me!"

Shi Dinghao: "."

Sixth sister, what does this mean?

Dislike him?

"Sixth Sister, Ninth Brother, look quickly, isn't that Sister Fuzhi?"

Shi Dingxu suddenly came up and pointed at a few people not far away and exclaimed.

When Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao looked over, their expressions fluctuated a bit.

Li Fuzhi!

Shi Dinghao glanced at the man in brocade clothes standing with Li Fuzhi, pulled Shi Fuxin and Shi Dingxu around, and went to another street.

"The person standing with Li Fuzhi is the Fourth Prince."

When Shi Fuxin heard this, her expression moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.

Shi Dingxu couldn't help it anymore: "Why are Sister Fuzhi and the Fourth Prince acting so intimately?"

Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao looked at each other, but didn't answer.

Li Zhengkun lost his official position, and the people who were engaged to Li Fuzhi wanted to withdraw their marriage. Later, the prince of the daughter of the Zeng family died, and the Zeng family lost power, so Li Fuzhi was divorced.

After that, they each had their own affairs to be busy, so they didn't bother to pay attention to the Li family anymore.

How Li Fuzhi met the fourth prince, they really don't know.

"Tokikuro!"

There was a sound of gusts of wind coming from behind, Shi Dinghao turned around fiercely, and swung a punch, facing the person's fist squarely.

"Oh, it hurts me to death, Shikuro, you want to murder relatives and friends!"

Young Master Zhao grinned and shook his arms, glaring at Shi Dinghao angrily.

Shi Dinghao looked at him with disgust: "You are looking for a beating by yourself, and you don't even look at the occasion, my sister is still here, what should I do if I scare her?"

Young Master Zhao looked at Shi Dinghao blankly, then glanced at Shi Fuxin who was hiding behind Shi Dinghao, looked at him weakly, and patted his forehead with his hand.

"I am convinced, I am convinced of your brothers and sisters."

Only then did Shi Fuxin come out from behind Shi Dinghao with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you are indeed too reckless, I was really a little scared."

Young Master Zhao looked at Shi Fuxin, then silently turned his head away.

If it hadn't been for the time when he wanted to tease Sister Xin and was kicked into the pool by her, he really couldn't believe that such a delicate girl could be so cruel!

Shi Dingxu greeted Young Master Zhao with a smile, and the four of them walked down the street together.

"I saw the fourth prince just now."

"By the way, do you know that Li Zhengkun, who stole his uncle's identity, betrothed his daughter to the Fourth Prince as a concubine."

Hearing Young Master Zhao's words, Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao had already guessed when they thought of the scene they just saw.

Young Master Zhao bumped into Shi Dinghao: "Looking at the appearance of the fourth prince, he seems to like the girl from the Li family quite a bit. You have a grudge against the Li family, so you'd better be careful."

When Shi Dingxu heard this, he subconsciously said, "Sister Fuzhi won't harm the Shi family."

Young Master Zhao took a look at him and said, "How did Brother Wulang leave the capital? Have you forgotten?"

Shi Dingxu stopped talking, and made a note of this in his heart, planning to tell his grandparents as soon as he got home.

Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao didn't react at all, soldiers came to cover up the water and earth, the Li family's ability to climb up to the fourth prince was also their ability.

"There's a fire-breathing guy over there. I haven't figured out what's going on. I have to figure it out today. Let's go and have a look."

Young Master Zhao, Shi Dinghao, and Shi Dingxu walked in front, while Shi Fuxin walked behind.

After it got dark, floats began to swim on the street, and there were more people at once, directly separating Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao.

Shi Fuxin could see the three of them watching the fire, followed by Nanny Leng and Xiaofang, so she didn't squeeze through the crowd to join them, but looked at the nearby restaurant to guess lantern riddles.

"Brother Yao, Fat Pomegranate is below."

"There are so many people downstairs, Fat Pomegranate has been squeezed to the side, or should I go and call her up?"

On the third floor of the restaurant, Chu Yao and Meng Moling stood in front of the railing, looking down at everything on the street.

Chu Yao cast a sideways glance at Meng Moling: "Since when have you been so considerate?"

Meng Moling smiled mischievously: "Isn't this the money given by Fat Pomegranate, so that the brothers below will have a good year this year? Let's take care of it if we can."

Chu Yao snorted: "How did the money come from, don't you know?"

Meng Moling quickly flattered her and said, "Of course it's because Brother Yao is so wise and powerful. Fat Pomegranate is so slippery. You asked her to obediently offer money. What does that mean? It means that Fat Pomegranate can't get out of your palm, Brother Yao."

Chu Yao's complexion improved a bit, but just as he was about to say something, his expression froze.

On the street, a lotus lantern was handed to Shi Fuxin.

Shi Fuxin looked up along the lotus lantern with a look of astonishment, and saw Master Fan Xiaohou who was handing the lantern, her expression became more and more dazed.

With round almond eyes and slightly parted red lips, there was a look of surprise on his face, but there was undisguised surprise in his eyes.

Looking at the cute and innocent Shi Fuxin, Master Fan Xiaohou couldn't help covering his mouth and smiling, and then gave the lotus lantern in his hand to Shi Fuxin again and let it loose.

Shi Fuxin pointed at herself with her index finger: "Give it to me?"

Master Fan Xiaohou smiled and nodded: "I saw the girl staring at this lotus lantern just now, and I happened to guess the answer to the lantern, so I borrowed flowers to present Buddha and gave it to the girl."

Shi Fuxin blinked, did she stare at the lotus lantern just now? She must be in a daze. However, this is not important anymore.

"I love this lamp!"

Shi Fuxin took the lantern with a smile and did not forget to express her gratitude.

It could be seen that Shi Fuxin was really happy, and Master Fan Xiaohou couldn't help laughing again.

In the restaurant, Chu Yao narrowed his eyes.

Meng Moling shook her head with a 'tsk tsk': "Every little girl loves this."

Chu Yao turned to look at him: "Which one?"

Meng Moling pointed at Shi Fuxin who was smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed: "Accept the gift."

Chu Yao frowned, and looked at Shi Fuxin downstairs with disgust: "It's not that she can't get the lantern by herself, why is she so happy?"

Meng Moling was a little speechless, but still patiently explained: "It's one thing to get it yourself, but another thing to get it from someone else."

"Yeah?"

Chu Yao rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

Meng Moling glanced at Chu Yao's face: "Brother Yao, there are a few words I wanted to tell you a long time ago, don't be unhappy when you hear it."

Chu Yao squinted and said, "Fart, let go."

Meng Moling: "I think it's time for you to learn some ways and means to please girls."

Chu Yao's eyes suddenly became fierce with a 'swish', and the words 'he still needs to please the girl' were written brightly on his face?

Meng Moling took a deep breath again: "Brother Yao, think about it for yourself, if you had spent more time trying to win Dongfang Yunrong's favor when you went to the Duke of Ming's mansion to propose marriage, she would not have married the sixth prince later. "

Chu Yao frowned: "I've put my mind to it."

Meng Moling sighed: "You have spent all your thoughts on how to force the Duke of Ming's government to accept the marriage, and you have not won Dongfang Yunrong's favor at all."

After a pause, "Brother Yao, you should learn from Brother Qian. Look at him, how good he is at pleasing girls."

Chu Yao frowned when he thought of Chu Qian going to the clothing and jewelry store to pick out women's products in person, and shook his head when he thought that he would be surrounded by gaudy dresses and jewelry.

"Vulgar!"

Meng Moling was tired: "Isn't this just to please the girl? If it's vulgar, then it's vulgar."

Chu Yao stopped talking, and looked at Shi Fuxin, who was laughing like a bird downstairs, and walked forward with Master Fan Xiaohou.

In order to marry into the Fan family, Shi Liu also worked hard.

"Why pretend like this!"

Chu Yao doesn't believe it, a lantern can make Shi Liuxin burst into joy!

Meng Moling looked at it, but had a different opinion: "Maybe, Fat Pomegranate is really happy?"

Chu Yao snorted and said, "What do you know, Shi Liu is not an ordinary boudoir girl, she must be scheming."

Meng Moling looked at Shi Fuxin again, Fat Pomegranate really smiled happily.

On the street, Shi Fuxin watched Fan Xiaohou take the initiative to walk on the outside, trying to avoid pedestrians bumping into her, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Do you still want lanterns? If you want them, I'll buy them for you."

"No, this lotus lantern is enough."

Suddenly, there was a loud noise ahead, and people on the street rushed in one after another.

The flow of people moved forward quickly, and it was inevitable that they would be crowded and collided. Master Fan Xiaohou carefully protected Shi Fuxin to the corner, propped up the wall with one hand, and separated a safe zone with his body.

Shi Fuxin hid in the safety zone, looking at Master Fan Xiaohou standing with his back to her, his eyes sparkled.

This year's Lantern Festival feels much more interesting than previous years!

In the restaurant, Chu Yao saw all of this in his eyes. On the street illuminated by lights, Yuan Pomegranate's eyes were like stars.

At this moment, he could also feel the joy exuded by Shi Fuxin.

But he didn't understand.

Would Yuan Pomegranate be afraid of these people on the street?

What are you doing?

Overdressed!
