Fourth Master's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 701

Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.

Hong Hao secretly took his younger brother Hong Yao, and went out together.

The capital city during the Lantern Festival is extraordinarily lively.There are countless sellers of lanterns of various colors, as well as river lanterns.Of course... Hong Yao's attention was more focused on the pastry shops on the street.

"Brother, do you think how many people buy that horseshoe cake? Er Niang likes to eat horseshoe cakes, why don't we buy some and give Er Niang a taste?"

"There is also almond cake. The golden, translucent and fragrant ones just made, I must like it too!"

Hong Yao looked at a pastry shop next to him, his eyes almost watered.The longing little eyes have already penetrated into the hearts of those snacks.

"Emiang likes to eat? I think you like to eat, right?" Hong Hao looked at his younger brother's unreliable look, sighed silently in his heart, and led his younger brother forward.

Forget it.What does it matter if his own younger brother likes to eat some?

Being able to eat is a blessing, being able to eat is a blessing!Isn't this... the reason his mother always taught him?
After holding the snacks in his hands, Hong Hao suddenly felt that it was a bit cumbersome to come out today.Hong Yao's place was fine, so he started to eat after holding it.

"Look at how hard you are taking it, brother, I'll help you share it."

Hong Yao chuckled, and after taking the snack from Hong Hao's hand, he began to eat on his own.

Hong Hao thought that it was rare for his younger brother to be so obedient, so he wanted to help him hold it.As a result, it all went into the stomach.

Hong Hao shook his head, really didn't know what to say.

Hong Yao ate his snacks, and seemed to have noticed the reaction of his brother beside him.After scratching his head in embarrassment, he said: "I am like this, in fact, it can be regarded as sharing the burden for you."

"Yes yes yes, help me share." Hong Hao said: "When you go back today, why not help me share the schoolwork? A few days ago, Ama asked me to recite the book, but I haven't finished it yet. "

"It's boring to memorize it by yourself. You know who your eldest sister is, she always likes to tease me. It's better for you to recite memorization with me."

...

Accompany him to recite the book together?Hong Yao opened his mouth, and although he wanted to refuse, he still nodded.

His brother was so kind to him and even bought him his favorite snacks.Although those books were somewhat obscure to him, it is not impossible to memorize them by rote with his brother.

"Alright then!" Hong Yao said, "Brother, don't forget, if you have something delicious next time, remember to call me!"

"That's natural." Hong Hao was satisfied.My younger brother actually has a very good heart.

Moving forward along the main road, there are more and more people on the street.The Lantern Festival is one of the most lively days in Beijing throughout the year.

It's not long after noon here, and the shops on both sides of the street have already hung up the lanterns in front of their respective doors.

There are also shops that sell groceries, and they simply display the palace lanterns in their shops.Among them, there are also some beautiful revolving lanterns with exquisite workmanship.

"This revolving lantern is exquisite, and Erniang will definitely like it."

Hong Hao looked at the revolving lanterns in the shop from a distance, and told Xiaochen behind him, "Go pick some and send them back to the mansion. Pick some for the elder sister and the two younger brothers."

Hong Han and Hong Ming are still young, so they still like these things.

"Brother. Today, my sister also wanted to come out with us, but Erniang is pregnant and can't go out, so my sister stayed in the mansion."

"Will my sister be even more upset when these revolving lanterns are sent back later?"

"Silly brother, is that why you don't understand?" Hong Hao patted Hong Yao on the head and said, "She can't go out and stays in the mansion with Er Niang because she thinks it's not good for us all to go out together."

"Although she yearns for this lantern festival in her heart, she won't say it out of her mouth. We took the revolving lantern and went back. She might say a few words about us, but she must be very happy in her heart."

Whether it's out of liking for revolving lanterns or out of gratitude to her two younger brothers, Xiyu will be happy.

Hong Yao was stunned for a while, and silently wrote down these.

As for Hong Hao, although he said it so clearly on the surface, he sighed silently in his heart: "As your elder brother, is it easy to understand so many things? Isn't it all the lessons of so many years of blood and tears?"

Going further on the bustling street, you will arrive at the place where you can guess lantern riddles.

There are many people in the place where lantern riddles are guessed, and it is almost crowded with people.Among them, there are not many people who are really capable of guessing lantern riddles, and most of them are still watching.

"There are a lot of people there."

Hong Yao looked at the crowded place from a distance, became interested, and said, "Brother, should we go over and have a look?"

"Look at what?"

Hong Hao is actually not very interested in guessing lantern riddles.In fact, these lantern riddles are just a matter of one's imagination.

When he and Yuyu were in the study on weekdays, the riddles that his wife in the study gave him and Yuyu to guess were much more difficult than these.

"There are so many people guessing lantern riddles there, why don't you go and have a look? We're all out, and you don't release river lanterns and don't guess lantern riddles, what are you doing here?"

Hong Yao complained a little.It's a rare time to come out, and it's such a big day as the Lantern Festival. If you don't do anything, it would be a pity, right?

"I come out?"

Hong Hao looked at his younger brother, pointed at those snacks with a smile, and said, "Didn't I accompany you to eat these snacks when I came out? As an older brother, I put my best intentions into it, alas!"

"... "

Feeling helpless, Hong Yao finally went with his brother to a crowded place to watch those people guess lantern riddles.

"One day to return a thousand miles of Jiangling, guess one word."

"Thousands of miles lead by a thread, guess a word."

After Hong Hao approached, he looked at these lantern riddles, all of which began with the word "thousand".These lantern riddles belong to the simplest and most basic ones.

"Hey, I know this. Returning Qianli Jiangling in one day is refuge, right?"

Looking at these lantern riddles, Hong Yao suddenly became interested, and said: "There is still a thread that connects thousands of miles, isn't it important?"

"Hey, this young master is really good. You have guessed these two lantern riddles right."

Seeing Hong Yao's intelligence, the old grandfather who set up the stall immediately smiled, pointed to a few small lanterns on the stall, and said, "See if you like any of them, I'll give them to you?"

"Grandpa, no need, I just came to see, not for your lantern." Hong Yao waved his hand hurriedly, wanting to drag Hong Hao to the other side to have a look.

They, who have been literate since childhood, compete with ordinary scholars to guess lantern riddles, which is really a bit of a bully.They... just take a look.

Hong Hao was dragged away by Hong Yao, just when he was about to talk and look again, he suddenly saw a familiar figure appearing in the distance.

That person... seems to be that Gege from the Sochoro family?
