Farmhouse Pastoral Notes

Chapter 307 Girl's Day (2)

"Heck, second brother, guess who I am?"

Chunqiu put on the rabbit mask, ran to Yang Chunming and said with a smile.

Yang Chunming was still holding the mask that Chunqiu handed over to him before. He looked dotingly at the little urchin in front of him, shook his head and sighed, "Well, who is this Miss Rabbit? I have no way of knowing."

"I don't know if this Miss Rabbit in front of me can tell me something?" After Yang Chunming finished speaking, he politely returned a gift to Chunqiu.

Seeing his second elder brother patiently playing with him, Chunqiu felt unhappy.

He waved his hands at Yang Chunming pretending to be arrogant, "It's really impolite to ask someone else's name without holding your own name."

"Hehe, I'm being rude, I hope Miss Rabbit Mo Yan blames it." Yang Chunming said immediately.

"Yeah, I think you are the first offender, so I forgive you this time." After Chunqiu finished speaking, she suddenly took off the mask on her face, revealing her star-like face, "Hee hee, second brother, how is my acting? Are you cold and arrogant?" Chunqiu turned around in front of Yang Chunming, speaking quite confidently.

"The performance is very good. There are lanterns being put on by the river ahead. How about we go and buy two?"

After hearing Yang Chunming's suggestion, Chunqiu agreed with both hands, "Okay, then let's pick the lantern first, second brother, I want that kind of lotus..."

"Okay, let's go and have a look first..." After hearing this, Yang Chunming agreed one by one. As for his sister's request, as long as he didn't violate Yang Chunming's bottom line, he would do his best to satisfy her unconditionally.

The two brothers and sisters discussed the issue of river lanterns, talking while walking, although most of them were Chunqiu talking on the side, Yang Chunming just quietly acted as a listener.

There are more vendors by the river than on both sides of the street.

Chunqiu and Chunqiu were standing next to an old woman selling river lanterns.

"Ma'am, how are these children's river lamps sold?"

Chunqiu squatted in front of the stall, stretched out his finger to the river lantern on the shop, tilted his head and asked.

The old lady who sells the river lamp looks very old, her hair is white, and her scalp is sparse, and she is tied into a small bun on the top of her head.

Facing Chunqiu with a wrinkled smile, the old lady said in a steady voice, "Little girl, these river lanterns are made by the old lady herself, and buying some money is just a cost, like the one on the far side, which costs only 10 cents." One piece of money, the middle one is better, 15 coins to take away, the innermost one is the best quality, 25 coins.”

After Chunqiu listened to the quotation from the old lady, he looked calmly at the three types of river lanterns in front of him. The cheapest river lantern was rough in workmanship, with only one wick and five petals. After Chunqiu saw it, he shook his head secretly. This, his eyes missed the worst river lantern in front of him, Chunqiu continued to look forward...

Chunqiu's every move is captured in the eyes of the old lady. The old lady who comes to sell river lanterns every year is a fine person, and she can guess what she is thinking by seeing Chunqiu's expression.

He reached out and took out the innermost river lantern with two wicks and dozens of petals, which was finely crafted.

"Little girl, what do you think of this? The old lady will tell you the truth, this is the most beautiful river lantern in my stall. The old lady took out this river lantern because she saw you and sincerely wanted to buy it." The old lady He spoke in a low voice, and when he spoke, he looked around closely, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

"Ma'am, let me see." Chunqiu smiled, she didn't fully believe what the old lady said, but just took the other party's river lantern and looked at it.

The river lantern in front of me is much better than what I saw in the Spring and Autumn Period. From the appearance alone, the rice paper used for this river lantern is soft, and the patterns depicted on it are prosperous and atmospheric. Twelve petals set off the wick in the middle. It is as bright as a luminous pearl, and this river lantern is divided into upper and lower layers. If the two wicks are lit at the same time, this river lantern will definitely look better.

The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Chunqiu hugged her tightly in her arms, turned her head to look at the old lady with her shining eyes, and asked, "Madam, how can I sell this river lantern?" The implication is that the river lantern Chunqiu in her arms want to buy.

"Hehe, the little girl has good eyesight. This river lantern only needs 25 copper coins. You know, this river lantern is much better than these." Just before the old lady told the price, Chunqiu looked at the three types of river lanterns on the stall, and naturally compared the river lanterns in his arms with the river lanterns on the bright side. It was found that the river lamp in her arms was better.

"Ma'am, do you still have this kind of river lantern? I want to buy another one." Chunqiu remembered that his second brother was still there, so he wanted to buy another one.

"some have"

Seeing that the person asking for money is a rich owner, the old lady is not ambiguous, and after finishing talking here, she has already found a river lantern that is similar to the one handed to Chunqiu before.

"Little girl, look at it"

"En." Chunqiu nodded in satisfaction, handed the two river lanterns in his hand to Yang Chunming behind him, and then found a small piece of broken silver from the purse at his waist and handed it to the old lady.

After buying the river lanterns, Chunqiu borrowed a writing brush from the old lady's family and simply wrote a few small characters on the river lanterns. Then Chunqiu took Yang Chunming and ran to the river not far away to release the river lanterns.

"Second brother, second brother, hurry up." Chunqiu walked in front, and kept turning his head to urge Yang Chunming behind him.

Yang Chunming followed Chunqiu unhurriedly, still holding the river lantern he just bought in his hand.

"Qiu'er, don't worry, be careful that you bump into someone"

It's okay not to say anything, as soon as Yang Chunming finished speaking, Chunqiu bumped into the masked girl who was walking back.

"Ouch", the huge impact made Chunqiu take several steps back.

Although the masked girl who was hit by Chunqiu was not as serious as Chunqiu retreated, her shoulder still hurt from the collision.

Yang Chunming hurriedly lifted Chunqiu who was squatting on the ground, and quickly apologized to the girl who was rubbing her shoulders not far away, "Girl, I'm sorry, it's my sister who didn't watch the way, and I hope she won't take offense when she bumped into her." "

The girl was bumped, and her heart was full of gloom. Just about to explode, she was fascinated by the boy who ran over to apologize. The corners of her mouth opened and closed, and she didn't know what to say.

"Forget it, you don't need to be too polite, sir."

The girl still didn't have the heart to blame the other party, her cheeks were slightly red, and the girl gently returned the salute with her hands together, the anger in her heart had long since disappeared.

"It's very good that the girl is fine, the girl is high-spirited and upright, I am here to thank the girl for your understanding on behalf of my sister." Yang Chunming smiled brightly, causing the girl opposite to blush frequently.

In the end, seeing that it was almost done, Yang Chunming gave the river lantern in his hand as an apology to the girl in front of him, then nodded, and pulled Chunqiu behind him to leave.
