Tomorrow, I would like to visit Guo's house, which was not in Ji Chunshan's plan. Fortunately, there was still some time in the afternoon, so I was going to buy some gifts, but when I asked Ye Qinglan about the preferences of the Zhao couple, Ye Qinglan said, "The Zhao couple They are all noble and simple people, the gift does not need to be too expensive, as long as it suits one's heart, they gave Ji Chunshan some suggestions.

Because they were going to go to the Lantern Festival at night, Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu were not as energetic as Ji Chunshan, so they took a nap in the afternoon, while Ji Chunshan went out to do some shopping, and when they came back, they plunged into the kitchen and worked all afternoon.

After Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu both fell asleep, Ji Chunshan not only made cakes for the Zhaos and their tastes according to what Ye Qinglan said, but also shook the Lantern Festival and made another plate-sized cake with three layers. Creamy fruitcake comes out.Although there are few fresh fruits in this season, there are still some, but the price is not cheap, but Ji Chunshan has never been reluctant about matters related to Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu, let alone birthdays once a year.

Seeing that the sky was almost getting dark, Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu also woke up, and Ji Chunshan was about to cook the Lantern Festival, but just as the water in the pot was boiling, there was a knock on the door of the courtyard.

Ji Chunshan opened the door and saw that it was as expected, it was Aunt Wu and Xie Yuan and his wife who were supporting Wu Yun, who was already showing some signs of pregnancy.Aunt Wu knew about Ji Ningxu's birthday. When she was still in Anping Village, she cooked eggs and longevity noodles for Ji Ningxu every year, and she didn't forget this year.It's just that Ji Chunshan told them yesterday that he was going to eat vegetarian food at Baiyun Temple at noon, so they came in the evening.

Ji Chunshan hurriedly invited them into the house. The stove was still burning in the kitchen, so he asked Ye Qinglan to accompany Aunt Wu and the others. , After the water boiled again, I took out some of the Lantern Festival that I made a lot today, and put it into the pot together with the previous ones.

When the Lantern Festival is cooked, I bring six clean small bowls, put six in each bowl, put a white porcelain spoon in the bowl, place them on the tray one by one, and put the big cake and six small plates Put them on another tray and carry them to the back room together.

Hearing from Ye Qinglan that there would be a lot of food stalls at the lantern festival, Ji Chunshan didn't make dinner, thinking about eating some Lantern Festival and cakes first, and eating whatever he wanted when visiting the lantern festival. Later, although Aunt Wu and the others came, But as soon as they came, they said that they came after eating, so that Ji Chunshan didn't have to be busy, so Ji Chunshan didn't do anything else.

Inside the room, Aunt Wu has already opened the package that she brought. Inside is a birthday gift for Ji Ningxu, a set of bright red clothes with frayed edges, and a small sachet embroidered with exquisite patterns, all of which are made by Aunt Wu and Wu Yun personally. It is made of fine stitches and fine workmanship.

Ji Ningxu was already fair and cute, with round eyes, bright red mouth, and was carefully raised by Ji Chunshan for several months, and fleshy baby fat grew on his face. He came dressed in bright red clothes, tied a sachet, and let the handy Wu Yun tie two small bags on his head with a red string. The whole person walked down like a lucky baby in a New Year painting, and he almost hugged her. It's a big red koi, and it's impossible to hold the one that Aunt Wu likes in her arms, the baby.

Ji Chunshan entered the room with two trays, Ye Qinglan quickly got up and took one, and put both trays on the table.Everyone in the Lantern Festival knew each other, so they didn't think there was anything special about it, but even Aunt Wu, who had seen Ji Chunshan's craftsmanship, was seeing the creamy fruit cake for the first time, so they were all very curious.

The Lantern Festival was still hot and needed to be put away, so Ji Chunshan cut the cake into six pieces, put them into small plates one by one, and handed them to everyone.

Compared with the jujube cake that everyone has eaten, the sweet and soft cake base only lacks the jujube flavor, which is nothing. Although the cut fruits are only more expensive at this time of year, the only thing that melts in the mouth is delicate It is smooth and has a faint milky aroma, not to mention Aunt Wu and others, even Ye Qinglan is the first time to eat it, and she is really amazed.

It's just that whether Aunt Wu or Wu Yun and Xie Yuan, although they were all very curious, they just praised the food and praised Ji Chunshan's craftsmanship, but no one asked him what he used or how he made it.

After eating the cake, the Lantern Festival has cooled down a bit, so it's time to eat.

After a while, the sky gradually darkened, and the sound of children playing and shouting from the street could be heard from inside the house, but the lantern festival had already started.

Wu Yun's child is almost five months old, so she can't go to crowded and noisy places, but she can't go to the lantern festival. She won't go if she doesn't go to Aunt Wu and Xie Yuanzi. After all, they live in the city now , There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so I have no regrets.

Aunt Wu and the others knew that Ji Chunshan and the others were going to the Lantern Festival, so they didn't stay for long, and Ji Chunshan didn't stay much longer, but they went out with Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu, and when they reached the alley, they said goodbye and parted So, a group of people are looking for a secluded road to go home, but a group of people are walking towards the main street towards the increasingly dense light.

Although it was only dark, the main street was full of people and bustling. During the day, all kinds of exquisite, beautiful and colorful lanterns were all lit up. Under the night, it was very special. The ambilight is so beautiful that the whole street is as bright as day.Even if the bright moon is in the sky tonight, and the bright fluorescent light sprinkles the world, it can't suppress the unique wisdom and beauty of human beings.

Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan held Ji Ningxu's little hand from left to right, and the family of three strolled slowly, sometimes admiring the strange flower lanterns hanging from the shops on both sides, and sometimes wandering around the roadside selling all kinds of food, drink, and entertainment. A small stall, stop and go, comfortable and comfortable.

Ji Chunshan originally wanted to buy a lantern for Ye Qinglan and Ji Ningxu to play with, but Ye Qinglan stopped him, and then came to a place where no less than twenty or thirty lanterns of various sizes were hung on the bamboo racks in front of the shop. In front of the lantern shop, he easily guessed two riddles from the shopkeeper, and took away a bunny lantern and a hydrangea lantern.

At the intersection of the two main streets in the middle of Fangcheng County, there is a huge open space. In the center of the open space stands a simple bell tower. It is three stories high and has no windows on all sides on the top floor. A big clock with a height of half a person.

At this time, big red lanterns were hung on the eaves of each floor of the entire bell tower, and even the big bells were wrapped with red silk, which looked very festive.Under the bell tower, one side is accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, and the battle between dragons and tigers is so lively, and the other side is babbling. I don’t know how long the good show has been singing. Waiting for juggling skills, attracting people to stop and watch, applauding constantly.

Ji Chunshan, who had been bumped twice on the shoulder and stepped on three feet, had already hugged Ji Ningxu, and held Ye Qinglan tightly with the other hand, not leaving an inch. They didn't choose to squeeze into the crowd, but turned around and walked in. Just next to it is a restaurant with the same three floors but with carved beams and paintings, which is really majestic.

"Xiao Er, is there still room on the second floor?" After entering the restaurant, Ji Chunshan asked Xiao Er who came up to him. Apart from planning to rest their feet, they also wanted to find a place with a good view when they entered the restaurant, which was very convenient. Admire a juggling show in the street.

"I'm really sorry, sir, the second and third floors of the store are already full, and there are only some places left on the first floor, do you think?" Xiaoer bowed, but apologized.

Ji Chunshan looked at Ye Qinglan, saw Ye Qinglan nodded, and said, "Forget it, the first floor is the first floor, please help me find a table by the window."

It doesn't matter whether he and Ye Qinglan look at it or not. It's nothing new to them, but it's the first time Ji Ningxu has seen it. Ji Chunshan doesn't want to disappoint him. The restaurants on the left and right are basically higher than the street. , when he hugs Ji Ningxu higher, he will probably be able to see it.

Xiao Er immediately responded with a smile: "No problem, please come with Xiao Er."

Walking in with Xiao Er, when they reached the stairs leading from the second floor to the first floor, two people came down one after the other.

Ji Chunshan hadn't noticed yet, but Xiao Er immediately stopped and said respectfully to the person in front: "Elder Son."

The man was dressed in a brocade gown with a silver fox fur lapel, handsome and dignified, he glanced at Xiao Er indifferently, but when he saw Ji Chunshan and the others beside Xiao Er, his eyes stopped suddenly.

As soon as Xiao Er's footsteps stopped, Ji Chunshan looked in the direction of his bow, but it happened to meet the man's gaze, and he recognized him twice at the same time.

"Master Ji, Mrs. Ji, what a coincidence, I don't want to meet unexpectedly here today, it's really fate." Song Tang said with a smile, looking at Ji Chunshan and Ye Qinglan as he spoke, and he didn't know who he was talking to.

The smile on Ji Chunshan's face remained unchanged, he nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Song, long time no see."

The stairway is not a place to talk, but because Song Tang still has important business to do, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, he asked Xiaoer to take Ji Chunshan and others to his usual private room on the third floor, so that he can serve him well and not be neglected. The expenses were all recorded in his account, Xiao Er kept saying yes.

It was only then that Ji Chunshan learned that the restaurant was originally owned by the Song family, but he didn't want to be favored in vain, so he wanted to decline, but Song Tang stopped listening to what he said, and after saying goodbye, he left gracefully with the guards behind him up.

Ji Chunshan was helpless, and after discussing with Ye Qinglan, he decided to change the store altogether, but he didn't want Xiao Er to stop them from leaving, only saying that if they left, Song Tang would blame him for not serving him well, scold him and even fire him , begging Ji Chunshan to take pity on him.

Ji Chunshan was so worn out that he lost his temper, so if he thought about it, he would go up, at worst, he would just sit around and not order anything.It's just that he thought so, and he did it the same way. Xiao Er didn't force him to order food this time, but later he decided to send a table of the restaurant's signature dishes to Ji Chunshan's private room on his own initiative.

If you look at the juggling performances on the street, the third floor is slightly higher, and you can see it no more clearly than the first and second floors. It's just that the height has the advantage of being tall, but you can almost see the entire Fangcheng County at a glance.The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and under the thick black sky, there are fire dragons roaming and surging in the entire Fangcheng County, criss-crossing, and there are thousands of lights, dotted like stars, bright but warm.

Ji Chunshan held Ji Ningxu in his arms, and Ye Qinglan pointed out to him where the college she was studying in was and where the Guo family was. Pointing, Ye Qinglan told him about the memories she had left in those places.

Opposite the Song Family Restaurant, there is a building that is not inferior in scale and decoration to the Song Family Restaurant, but it is also a restaurant, and on the second floor of this restaurant, by the window, there are several young people dressed as scholars drinking and conversing with each other. , so uncomfortable.

One of the men with green lapel and yellow fir drank another cup, but shook his head in a drunken way, and after apologizing to his deskmate, he walked to the window, opened a gap in the window, and a gust of cool breeze After blowing on the face, the dizziness and heat dissipated immediately, and the mind became clear again.

He raised his head slightly, but he saw the third floor of the opposite restaurant at a glance. The two people standing together, through the lantern hanging on the cornice outside the window, he saw the faces of the two people clearly, and suddenly his pupils shrank , with an unbelievable shock on his face.

Xu Shi was in a state of confusion for a moment, and the alcohol came back to his head again, his eyes were blurred, and when he closed his eyes and endured the dizziness, when he looked up again, there was no one in front of him.

"I was dazzled just now. How could they appear there? It must be my eyesight, it must be." The man murmured, but his eyes were still fixed on the window on the third floor opposite, but there was nothing familiar or familiar. Strangers appear.
