What a cheating husband
Chapter 80
By the time the carriage drove everyone into Qingping County, it was already nightfall and the lights were brilliant.Qingping County is decorated with colorful lanterns, the streets are full of lanterns, flowers are everywhere, and the lights are flickering.There are palace lanterns, animal head lanterns, revolving horse lanterns, flower lanterns, bird and bird lanterns, etc., each of which brings together the whimsy of craftsmen and is well-made.
There are no torch dances in the county town, but there are performances such as fire balls, fire rain, fire lions, etc. There are also huge lamp wheels and lamp trees made by skilled craftsmen on the street, and the city is full of fire trees and silver flowers, which is very lively and prosperous.
There is a constant stream of pedestrians on the road, and it is almost a trend to follow the crowd even if you stand still. The streets are filled with all kinds of food and small ornaments, ranging from calligraphy and paintings, masks, to hairpins, accessories and so on.
As soon as Chen Qing entered the city, he couldn't help being dazzled. At this moment, the street is no less noisy than the real world, and even worse. If not for everyone wearing ancient costumes, Chen Qing would doubt whether he has returned to modern times.
Among the gongs, drums, shengxiao, and various hawkers interspersed.In it, if the people around you don't speak loudly, you can't even hear what is said clearly.
A giant blue dragon slowly approached in the distance, and with the sound of drums, pedestrians automatically gave way to a path.The winding dragon is 10 meters long, swaying left and right, up and down with the dragon dance team.The applause accompanied by the shouting made Chen Qing's eardrums hurt, and he hurriedly covered his ears and followed the crowd to the side of the street.
The giant dragon swam from the north gate to the south gate, and the streets became much more relaxed. Chen Qing was dragged by Liang Duoduo to look at every stall, and after a while, he was dragged by Brother Yang to inspect a small ornament. Chen Qing was busy While giving advice, the men of the Liang family were busy paying the female relatives.
From the street to the end of the street, if you try all the food, you will definitely break your stomach.Everyone picked their favorite food and bought some early adopters. Chen Qing also ate a bowl of rice noodles and a drawer of siu mai. Now he is holding candied haws and running around with the three little ones, as if he has become the king of children.
People's mood is also affected by the surrounding environment, and the smiles bloom on everyone's faces as if they are contagious. It is rare for Chen Qing to relax, pulling the three little ones in and out of the most lively places.
Dragon dance, juggling, and dry boat rowing, the four kept shuttling with the flow of people, and occasionally walked into the performance team and swayed left and right.Although the two girls come to play every year, this is the first time they have such fun.It's not good for someone to take the lead and criticize them for their outrageous behavior. Seeing that the four of them are having fun, let them let go of their nonsense.
Liang Zixian has already passed his thirties, looking at his husband who is running and jumping like a child, he only smiles and guards silently, no matter what interesting objects Yang Ge finds, he always returns with a doting smile.
Chen Qing had experience playing with Chen Bi, and she was very protective of the two girls, pulling the other by her side with one hand, and never forgetting to say hello to Brother Yang, who was getting carried away wherever he went.
After playing for an hour, although the four of them were full of energy, their physical strength could no longer keep up.Chen Qing suggested finding a place to rest, and Liang Zixian took everyone to the tea shop.
Seeing that Liang Duoduo was drinking and coughing, Chen Qing was busy wiping his mouth and patting his back. If the whole family didn't think about it, maybe they would really be regarded as a pair of well-matched little lovers.
Brother Yang couldn't help but lay on the guardrail on the second floor and greeted, "Come on, Ah Qing, someone has solved the mystery."
Chen Qing is pretty good at guessing riddles, and he heard that he also wanted to see how difficult the riddles in the county are.Most of the lantern festivals held in villages and towns feature daily utensils or birds and beasts.If it is those ancient prose written by scholars and students, it will not work at all.
"What mystery?" Chen Qing was dragged by Liang Duoduo to lie on the guardrail and look down.
"The geese fly obliquely in the wind and rain." Brother Yang can't read much, but his ears are good, and he can hear the riddle clearly despite the noisy voices below.
Chen Qing was thinking about the answer, when Brother Yang yelled again, "It's changed, that white-clothed scholar got three dollars. This time it's...deja vu Yan returns"
"Return money for guessing riddles?" Chen Qing was a little surprised.
"Some give and some don't. Most restaurants and teahouses have prizes. Those hanging on the side of the road don't have any. If you have a good riddle, you can buy a lantern and write it on it, so that passers-by can guess it." Brother Yang said with great interest Wan also urged Liang Zixian to help solve the mystery.
Liang Zixian gave a spoiled smile, then seriously frowned and began to think.Liang Ziping and Liang Zizhuang are not good at it at all. If it is simple, it is fine, but this kind of literary talent is not good at all.
Chen Qing saw that there were many female relatives participating in the event, a shy and timid girl secretly stuffed a sachet for the white-clothed scholar.Immediately, some good people booed and congratulated, the shy woman hid her face and ran away, and the scholar just smiled generously and put the sachet in his arms.
Chen Qing looked interesting, so he teased Liang Duoduo, "How is that scholar?"
Liang Duoduo looked dissatisfied, "Auntie, you are teasing me again! I don't like him because he looks so ugly."
The noisy discussion below became louder and louder, and a few people came forward to answer the questions, but they didn't guess correctly. The white-clothed scholar seemed not sure enough to dare to answer indiscriminately, for fear of making a joke.
Chen Qing thought about it unconsciously, this question is not difficult, the one similar to Yan is a sparrow "it should be a sparrow"
"No way, the answer to the previous question was the word "pei", and this question is also similar." Brother Yang shook his head and vetoed it.
"Are you fined for the wrong answer?" Seeing Brother Yang shaking his head, Chen Qing smiled and said, "It's not a loss anyway, just play around, if you make a mistake, you're wrong, it's not a big deal."
Brother Yang's eyes lit up, he usually didn't dare to answer questions indiscriminately, for fear of making a joke.Chen Qing took the lead and Brother Yang shouted in a super loud voice, "It's a bird, a bird!"
Brother Yang's voice attracted all the attention from below, and they all looked up. Brother Yang shrank his neck in shock, and Liang Duoduo ran back to sit at the table in fright.
"Is this the question answered by this little brother?" The manager below asked with a smile.
Brother Yang quickly shook his head and pointed at Chen Qing. Seeing Chen Qing nodding, the steward announced the answer loudly, "Congratulations to the customer on the second floor, the answer is the bird. Since he is the customer of our shop, I will give you a pot of good tea for you to taste."
The crowd below immediately expressed regret, and some even yelled, "I also guessed it was a sparrow, but I didn't dare to say..."
The white-clothed scholar gave Chen Qing a hand from a distance, and he must have guessed the answer, but he was not fully sure.Chen Qing also returned the gift, still thinking in his heart, fortunately he answered quickly, otherwise the three coins would belong to someone else.
Money fan Chen Qing's mind is all on the money, he is naturally happy to get the money, Brother Yang jumps up happily, it's not a question of more money but less money, but the joy in his heart that cannot be measured by money.
The Liang family didn't care about money. After all, they were not short of money. A table of people spent more than 2 taels in a tea shop, so they didn't care about three dollars.However, Chen Qing's guessing right still made the whole family happy for a long time.
The shopkeeper quickly delivered the money and tea in person. Every year, if the guests in his building can guess correctly, it will increase his popularity. How many customers come into the store to guess the riddle just because of this pot of good tea?
"Auntie, keep guessing, maybe we can earn back the money for this table of tea," Liang Meng also urged with a little excitement.
Chen Qing is a little embarrassed to be praised by everyone, after all, this question is simple, if you change it, you may not be able to guess it correctly.
"Guess, guess, there is no loss if you answer wrong anyway, we people can always answer another question correctly." Brother Yang's guessing mood was unprecedentedly high, and he kept urging Chen Qing.
Chen Qing nodded, and heard Brother Yang report the next riddle: "The appearance is white as snow, but the belly is black, never steal, insist that he is a thief"
This riddle is a bit difficult, and everyone is stumped.The reason why it is difficult is that everyone has never seen this kind of creature, so how can they guess the answer?
Chen Qing knew it, looked at the white-clothed scholar from afar, and saw that he shook his head at himself, so he replied loudly, "I'll answer, it's a squid."
The crowd was in an uproar, what is a squid?Could it be nonsense, and the scholar explained loudly, "I have read an article that describes something similar to this thing, but I have never seen it with my own eyes."
Seeing that everyone's emotions were aroused, the principal didn't mind being guessed right again. The more questions answered correctly, the more people gathered.
Seeing that the questions given by the teahouses were simple, two questions were guessed in a short while, and they all came over to join in the fun, and soon there were no less than a hundred people who were calling for friends.Scholars and students who relied on their identities entered the inner room in twos and threes, and the tea shop, which was originally full of people, was already full at this moment.
Urged by everyone to reveal the answer, the principal smiled mysteriously, and when he saw that the person was almost there, he said, "It's exactly this thing, my lord is very knowledgeable, and I will give you two more plates of pastries."
"Wow~ Auntie, you are so amazing!" Liang Duoduo hugged Chen Qing first, shouting and jumping happily.
Shao Fengzhi was worried that people would be distracted, so he hurriedly dragged his daughter back and quietly reprimanded her. The surrounding tea guests gathered around and congratulated each other. When they heard that the answering son was actually a younger brother who was married to a wife, they all stopped and perfunctory Sit down with a few sentences.
Everyone's behavior not only made Chen Qing feel a little embarrassed, but even Liang Zixian and others began to feel unnatural.No matter how you look at it, Chen Qing is a good-looking man, and he doesn't wear a streamer. Naturally, he treats him as a man, and wants to go up to have a chat. At this moment, Liang Duoduo calls out his identity. It's not equal, and you're already married as a woman, so you should be careful not to be too social.
Chen Qing waved his hands, revealing a wry smile.Brother Yang saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly greeted them to continue drinking tea and eating snacks, but everyone had to gag with snacks despite their bloated stomachs.
Liang Duoduo felt a little guilty, hesitated for a while before apologizing in a low voice, "I'm sorry, auntie"
"I don't blame you. It's my own problem. Besides, it's their own scruples. What does it have to do with us?" Chen Qing suppressed the grievance in his heart and comforted Liang Duoduo.
Anyway, after so many years, Chen Qing has long been used to the difference between brothers and men. She used to hide her identity because she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to go out to do errands. This time she really felt what differential treatment is. It is impossible to say that it is not uncomfortable, but it is not necessary to be serious .
Liang Ziping coughed secretly, "That's right, don't pay attention to those mediocre people, let's enjoy ourselves"
Shao Feng sighed secretly, if he hadn't been born in that family, Chen Qing would have lived a better life than he is now, men can stand upright in the world, but daughters-in-law must be subject to many constraints, even when making friends with others, they must be careful not to exceed their limits.
Even if Zijun didn't want to keep Chen Qing's temperament, maybe he didn't dress up as a little brother, but it still couldn't change the fact that he was married and a wife. Even they regarded Chen Qing as a daughter-in-law, and it was more of an outsider.
Due to the awkward atmosphere, the members of the Liang family did not participate in the riddle guessing and left after sitting for a while.Now it's You time, if it wasn't for Chen Qing leading the two children crazy this year, everyone in the Liang family would have dispersed to play their own ways.
It was agreed to gather in the carriage at the end of Xushi, and everyone dispersed to play on their own.Chen Qing rejected Brother Yang's invitation, and said to the second sister-in-law, "I have an appointment with Zijun to meet at night, if the time comes, you don't have to wait for me."
"Oh? At last, the brat has something to eat. If you are late, you can live in the other courtyard directly. Don't rush to the night." In the past, Liang Zijun would not return all night at this time, and Shao Fengzhi was not sure whether he would send Chen Qing back. He simply asked Chen Qing to live in another courtyard at night.
"Understood." Chen Qing agreed with a smile, and took a deep breath when he saw the person walking away.
Now that he is married, he can only accept his current status, and it is not worthwhile to worry about those irrelevant people in vain.But no matter how Chen Qing comforted herself, she couldn't forget the aggrieved moment.
There are no torch dances in the county town, but there are performances such as fire balls, fire rain, fire lions, etc. There are also huge lamp wheels and lamp trees made by skilled craftsmen on the street, and the city is full of fire trees and silver flowers, which is very lively and prosperous.
