Becoming wealthy by raising furry animals

Chapter 95 Flower Festival

Baiweizhai was a famous dim sum shop in Shangjing, beloved by the noble ladies of Shangjing for its small, delicate dim sum that was sweet but not greasy. Naturally, the new products released every March were also highly sought after by the ladies of the upper classes.

Although Ban You didn't know much about Baiweizhai, he had the opportunity to try its dim sum once because of Zheng Wenran, and he still remembers it to this day.

The food box has two layers, each containing six exquisite snacks.

"I heard that each dim sum tastes different, and some even have fillings. Would you like to try one?"

Ban You picked up a jasmine-shaped pastry. The crust was thin and crispy, and a light bite left a lingering fragrance. The red bean paste inside was soft and delicate, but not overly sweet, perfectly counteracting the floral fragrance of the crust. The faint scent of jasmine lingered on the tip of the nose, as if one were immersed in a sea of ​​jasmine flowers.

"It's really delicious! Have you tried it?" Ban You nodded and looked at Zhou Heng in surprise.

"I don't like sweet things." Zhou Heng chuckled, his eyes filled with unbreakable tenderness and affection.

The next second, a peach blossom-shaped dessert was stuffed into his mouth.

"It looks like a peach blossom, try it." Ban You said as he continued to pick up the dessert.

Zhou Heng reached out his hand in a daze and pinched the dessert next to his mouth. The dessert was small and very sweet.

If it were in the past, Zhou Heng would definitely throw away the dessert and scold the cook who made it.

But now, as he chewed the dessert bite by bite, the sweet floral scent made him feel a little dizzy.

At that moment, he seemed to see a peach blossom grove not far away. Ban You stood in it, her back to him, her thin figure, her skirt swaying in the wind. Peach blossoms danced in the breeze, falling on her hair and shoulders. She reached out and caught a peach blossom, gently twisting it, and the peach-pink juice dripped from her fingertips to the ground.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Ban You waved his hand in front of Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng suddenly came back to his senses, his ears slightly red. He coughed lightly to hide the excitement welling up in his heart.

"I... I have something else to do. I'll leave first. I'll come to see you before dusk." After saying this, Zhou Heng left the front yard and almost bumped into the door frame when he left.

Ban You looked at Zhou Heng's back and felt that he was running away.

"Hmm, peach blossom-shaped snacks...are they so unpalatable?" Ban You shrugged, shook his head and continued to taste other snacks.

In the evening, Ban You took out the yellow silk dress she had bought a few days ago and put it on, and also wore a peach blossom hairpin.

She also put on some light makeup and then looked in the mirror to admire her clothes.

"Not bad, it fits the atmosphere~" After finishing dressing up, Ban You sat on the couch and petted the cat, waiting for Zhou Heng to come over.

Not long after, Zhou Heng appeared in the yard wearing a golden and dark-patterned uniform embroidered with sparrows.

"I thought you would be well for a while, why are you leaving in such a hurry in the daytime?" Ban You looked at him with some confusion.

Zhou Heng covered his lips with his hands, coughed lightly, and changed the subject.

"Let's go. There will be more and more people near Quxin Lake soon. We can get a good seat if we go early."

"A good spot? What for?" Ban You was a little confused. "We're just strolling along the lake, why do we need a good spot?"

"It's to light the lanterns." Zhou Heng said, pointing outside the door, "Let's go."

Ban You nodded and followed Zhou Heng's footsteps towards Quxin Lake.

Quxin Lake is the only lake in Shangjing City. Street vendors sell their wares along the lake, each setting up a small stall, making it very lively.

There are vendors selling kites in spring, lotus seeds in summer, candy men in autumn, and roasted sweet potatoes in winter. The vendors are standing next to each other, one after another.

However, during every festival, these vendors will sell fashionable items. During the Dragon Boat Festival, they sell rice dumplings and sachets; during the Mid-Autumn Festival, they sell moon cakes and lanterns...

During the Flower Festival, all kinds of fashionable flowers and floral supplies are sold. At night, vendors selling Kongming lanterns fill almost every corner of the roadside.

Ban You walked on the street with great interest, and was extremely curious about every place here.

"You are right. This Flower Festival is indeed lively." Ban You held a sugar figurine in one hand and a flower cake in the other, his eyes sparkling.

Zhou Heng behind her also had various gadgets in his hands, all of which were the "results of the battle" of Ban You just now.

"It's just that Shu'er, Lanxin and the others didn't come, otherwise it would be much more lively."

"Normally, noble ladies wouldn't come out today."

"Why?" Ban You looked at Zhou Heng in confusion.

"On the one hand, the Flower Festival is a day for unmarried men and women to find their lovers. On the other hand, the palace always holds banquets and celebrates at this time, so they don't have time to spare." "That's a pity, but I can buy lanterns for them." Ban You said, glancing at a lantern stall with all kinds of exquisite lanterns on display.

"Come quickly, this peony lantern is so beautiful." Ban You said as he ran to the stall and started to choose carefully.

Zhou Heng looked at her excited look, shook his head and smiled, then strode to catch up with her.

……

Ban You was holding a rabbit lantern in his hand and shaking it gently. The little rabbit's eyes were vivid and very interesting.

"Hey, I just remembered that there was a banquet in the palace. Why didn't you go?"

"Me?" Zhou Heng chuckled. "That banquet is so boring. It's either singing and dancing or toasts. It's the same every year. It's really boring."

He shook the things in his hand and said, "Why don't I come out and accompany you to visit the Flower Festival outside the palace? It's better than being confined in the palace."

Ban You nodded seriously: "That's right, let's go light the lanterns!"

"Look there! So many people are releasing lanterns!" Ban You pointed to a platform not far away and shouted.

"Boss, I want two Kongming lanterns."

"Okay, girls, take it," the vendor said, handing Ban You and Zhou Heng a Kongming lantern each. "There's a pen over there. Girls, write your wishes on the Kongming lantern. Soon, the lantern will carry your wishes to the sky. When the gods see it, they will naturally fulfill your wishes."

"thank you boss."

Ban You picked up two pens and gave one to Zhou Heng.

She thought for a long time but couldn't decide what to write. She had too many wishes and they couldn't all be written on this thin piece of paper.

"What wish do you want to make?" Ban You thought fruitlessly and looked at Zhou Heng curiously, but saw that there was a blank on Zhou Heng's lamp.

"Why didn't you write?"

"You didn't write it either?"

Ban You glanced at Zhou Heng angrily, thought for a while, and then picked up a pen to write down his wish.

Zhou Heng saw Ban You carefully writing down his wish, then he turned around and wrote down his own wish one stroke at a time.

Zhou Heng finished writing quickly and then released the lantern.

Seeing this, Ban You quickly shouted, "Hey, stop it, I haven't seen your wish yet."

"Only gods can see wishes."

Ban You sighed softly: "Okay, you're right."

After she finished speaking, she raised her hand and released the Kongming lantern in her hand.

The Kongming lantern floated upwards with the wind, higher and higher, until it could no longer be seen by the naked eye.

"Do you think the gods will see our wishes come true?"

"Will do."

"So sure?"

"Ah."

Zhou Heng looked at the Kongming lantern in the sky, thinking about the wish he made in his mind: I hope everything Ban You wants can come true.

Ban You looked at the Kongming lanterns in the sky with longing in his eyes, thinking about the wish he had just written down: I hope I can become rich, beautiful, and return to my own home.

The Kongming lantern carries people's expectations and wishes, flying little by little to a place where no one can see it.

That's where the gods live.
