Farmer’s Blessed Girl

The door of the box closed in front of Magistrate Yang, who shook his head and walked into his private room with his hands behind his back.

He walked to the window and glanced at the gradually bustling street outside, nodded in satisfaction, turned around and ordered: "Turn on a few more lights to make the room brighter."

The yamen servant responded, and after lighting a few more lamps, he stood aside with his hands together.

County magistrate Yang stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the lively scene below, "Go and tell County Captain Zhang, everyone should work harder tonight to ensure that the whole city is safe. After the Lantern Festival, the county will reward you a lot."

The yamen servant happily agreed, and the county magistrate said that it is a heavy reward, and it is a heavy reward.

Man Bao pulled the two little friends back to the private room, and Bai Erlang asked, "Will your family be separated?"

"No," Man Bao said, "my father said, as long as he and my mother are still here, my family will not be separated."

Even Bai Shan couldn't help being speechless, "Your parents will still be able to work in the fields, how long will it be? No wonder County Magistrate Yang is anxious. By then, your eldest nephew and their sons will all grow up?"

Man Bao did the math, it was true, but, "It's better to have a cheaper home than a cheaper yamen, huh, if the family is separated, my six older brothers have to go out to do hard labor every year, it's good that the magistrate Yang is here, in case If you meet a bad county magistrate, wouldn't that mean you will never return?"

Both Bai Shan and Bai Erlang went to see the forced labor, and it was indeed very hard. Basically, everyone was thin and out of shape when they returned from the military service.

But I heard from Lao Ding that County Magistrate Fu treated them fairly well. At least they would go to and from work on time in the morning and evening, and they would stop working when it rained or snowed. That's what really kills people.

Thinking of this, Bai Shan nodded and said, "Then it's better not to separate."

At this moment, Man Bao finally realized a little bit of her father's reluctance to separate the family, and said happily: "No wonder my father refuses to separate the family no matter what."

Bai Shan: "No wonder people in the village always say that an old family is like a treasure. Every time an old man passes away in the village, the family members are so sad. They obviously never saw them being filial when they were alive."

"Hey, whose family are you talking about? Why do I feel that people in our village are very filial?"

Bai Shandao: "It's average. Although it's not unfilial, it's not filial."

He didn't say who it was, walked to the window and said, "Look, the lamp mountain is about to light up."

Man Bao and Bai Erlang's attention was diverted in an instant, and they ran up to look out, and saw the lantern mountain that could be seen in the field of vision lit up little by little, and within half a moment, a whole mountain made of lanterns They all lit up. It was the first time Man Baochang had seen such a lamp mountain at such a big age. He couldn't help but let out a "wow" and opened his mouth wide.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang have seen each other before, but they are teenagers after all, so they are still very excited to see each other again, and they can't help shouting "Wow" following Man Bao.

County magistrate Yang, who was standing in front of the next window, couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard the wow sound coming from the private room next door.

He looked at the cheering people outside and smiled with satisfaction.

In fact, it wasn't very lively, even less than one-tenth of the excitement he had seen before, but he still felt that this excitement was very comfortable.

Magistrate Yang thought, maybe it's because this is the county he ruled?

The excitement is due to him, isn't it?

The three of Man Bao pawed at the window with their toes and saw that all the lamps in sight were lit up, and then they turned around and called friends happily, "Let's go, let's go down and have a look."

The three of them led Daji and ran downstairs, Bai Shan took out a small piece of silver and threw it to the shopkeeper, "We have reserved the private room, and we will be back for supper later, remember to show us the door."

The shopkeeper quickly responded and watched the three of them run out of the restaurant.

Daji followed behind the three of them, and followed Bai Shan closely as soon as they went out.

Although there were many people on the street, they were not too crowded, so they would not get separated, but it was impossible to run, so the three of them went forward together, occasionally stopping to look at the things sold on the roadside stalls or Lantern.

Then……

"Wow, this lantern is so beautiful, hey, fourth brother, what a coincidence, you're here too?"

Zhou Zhoulang turned his head and saw the three of them. After greeting them, he took his wife away and continued to visit their place.

After walking around for a while, Bai Shan felt that a toy on the roadside stall was very powerful, so he went up to take a look, and someone shouted: "Sister, why are you here? But we finished watching, you look, let's go first Playing over there..."

When they walked all the way to Dengshan, the three of them met a few acquaintances. Except for the old Zhou family, they were people from the village, but no one exchanged pleasantries. After all, if they wanted to talk, they could talk every day in the village, so basically They all said hello and went to play separately.

The three of them finally arrived at the foot of the lamp mountain, looked up at the lanterns that had been erected, and followed the flow of people around the lamp mountain.

"Look, there are lantern riddles on it. If you guess correctly, you can take the lantern away." Bai Erlang saw the words on the lantern with sharp eyes.

Bai Erlang squinted his eyes to look at the lantern riddles above. Man Bao and Bai Shan got excited and squinted their eyes to look at it too.

After turning around, all three of them had an extra lantern in their hands. They subconsciously compared the lanterns in each other's hands, and then they all had a good time. Man Bao raised the lotus lantern in his hand and said, "My tallest one is also The best looking."

Naturally, lantern riddles are also the most difficult.

Bai Shandao: "That's because you have the best eyesight. If it wasn't for not being able to see the riddle on the top lamp, I would have won it."

Man Bao: "Me too."

Bai Erlang followed suit and said, "I can do it too!"

Anyway, it's impossible for them to climb up to watch the lantern riddles, so they don't have to write drafts to brag.

This is also the rule of the lantern mountain fortune fans. The lantern that is often hung on the top is the best and the most expensive, and the mystery is also the most difficult. lantern riddles.

Of course, some places don’t play like this, such as Yizhou City and Beijing City. There are many rich people in these big cities, and they don’t mind sending lanterns out, so lantern riddles are hung up. I guessed it, someone went to take down the lantern and give it to others.

Bai Shan looked at the people around the lamp mountain, and found that there were many people watching, but not many people guessing the riddles. He rolled his eyes, grabbed Man Bao and said, "Let's go, let's guess all the riddles on the lamp mountain." Once again, just choose one you like and guess what?"

Man Bao thought the game was good, his eyes lit up, and he nodded, "Good!"

Bai Erlang naturally followed them, he was a little timid, "If I can't figure it out, you have to help me."

Bai Shan and Man Bao sandwiched him from left to right, and comforted him: "Don't worry, we will help you, and I think the lantern riddles in our county are not difficult."

Good night
