Chapter 118 "Cidentally" by the river

Qixi is a relatively large festival at the end of summer, and most of the families in the city join in the fun.

The Rong family is a large family in the city, and naturally it is no exception. They spent money on a flower boat to let the family go to the river to release.

Although there are no suitable-age daughters in the family, there are almost a dozen daughters in each room before and after the house, plus a few young daughters-in-law, so the enthusiasm for Qixi Festival in the house is still very high.

The old man of the Rong family is kind. Although his wife is strict, she is not willing to care about such trivial matters, so he ordered to go on the first day. Qixi is as usual during the day, but they are allowed to play by themselves at night, but they don't drink much. Hai Zheng must come back before, and the next day he has to work as usual, and tells them to stay up at night. The women should be more vigilant.

The girls and young daughters-in-law were all very happy when they heard the news. The big girls in Rong Haoxuan's room, Pellan and Zisu, could not avoid vulgarity. The two discussed a little privately and relied on their usual favor, they went to Rong Haoxuan for a plea.

"Master, I heard that the streets are very lively on Qixi Festival. It's rare for your wife to be considerate of us, so why don't you take us out?" Pei Lan saw Rong Haoxuan leaning on the lounge chair under the window. He was holding a fan and saluted him. He sat crookedly on the edge of the lounge chair and said with a smile.

Rong Haoxuan squinted and said no doubt when he heard this, and still shook the fan leisurely.

Zisu was relatively more lively. He directly grabbed the fan, fanned Rong Haoxuan and said coquettishly, "Master, the slave and sister Pei Lan usually do their best to serve you. Although we are stupid, we have no merit and hard work, right? You feel sorry for us. Take us out for a walk!"

Rong Haoxuan opened his eyes lazily and stretched out and said, "You are going out to go out with the other girls and daughters-in-law at home. They are all things that girls like. I'm not interested in it."

Seeing that the two maids were full of disappointment, Rong Haoxuan said again, "If you don't like to be with them, ask the two families to follow, and say that I ordered it."

"Master! The little one is back." The voice of the little man came from outside.

"Monkey, you've been here for so long, why don't you get out of here?" Rong Haoxuan said and sat up quickly and looked at the position of the door.

Xixin came in and made a salute, and then got up and said, "Master, Miss Xu really didn't go back today. She rested at Miss Mei's house at noon. Just now, several people had gone out to the river. The little one left a family to follow him and quickly come back to report to you!"

Hearing this, Rong Haoxuan ordered the two maids, "Hurry up and change your clothes. I want to go out and take the newly made clothes two days ago!"

"Master, you just said that you are not interested in those girls' things outside. Are you so energetic now?" Seeing this, Zisu couldn't help saying an anger, "It's not that you are not interested in things at all. You are tired of the slave maidservant!"

"Come on, don't complain." Rong Haoxuan smiled and waved his hand, "You also know where the money is. Today, each of you will be rewarded with one or two pieces of silver. Just buy what you like."

The two girl also knew that they would close it as soon as they saw it was good. They didn't have any more entanglement. After thanking them, they would change Rong Haoxuan's coat, tie up their hair, and hang jade pendants, fan bags, purses and other things.

Pei Lan took the purse with the money and handed it to Xixin and told him, "There are many people outside today. You have to follow closely. Don't just focus on playing with yourself. I have money on you, and you also have some decoration on your body. It's still useful if you lose it."

"Don't eat those messy things outside. It's hot now. Who knows whether the things outside are clean or not? If you eat bad, you can come back carefully and have a good meal." Zisu said in a clear voice, and then walked to Xixin and suddenly reached out to twist his ears. "Don't lead me to those pickled places, or you will look good!"

"Good sister, how dare I!" Xixin bowed and asked for forgiveness, "I remember everything you said, and I dare not do such a thing."

"Oc's it, let's go!" Rong Haoxuan urged impatiently that he had gone out directly.

"Master, wait for the little one!" Xixin quickly caught up with him.

When the master and servant came to the river, there were already a lot of people on the road, but they didn't see Xu Xinger after looking around.

At this time, Xu Xinger and several people were eating in the depths of the alley.

Each person has a large bowl of cold noodles, with slightly yellow and translucent buckwheat noodles coiled at the bottom of the bowl. Beef slices, cucumber shreds, coriander, shredded radish, and half a brine egg are neatly coded on the noodles. The soup is floating with crushed ice, making the whole bowl of noodles look so cool. A large spoonful of shiny chili oil is poured on the top, colorful Looking at it in color makes people's appetite greatly increased.

Taoer came close to the bowl and took a sip of soup first. She narrowed her eyes and said to Xu Xinger, "Sister, it's so delicious!"

Xu Xinger stirred the dishes with chopsticks in a bowl, mixed the dishes with the noodles, picked up a chopsticks and put them into her mouth. The soft noodles, the refreshing dishes, and the sweet and sour soup made people unable to stop the chopsticks.

Several people didn't have time to talk and ate noodles. Shanzi finally picked up the bowl with both hands and even drank the soup clean.

Xu Xinger smiled at him: "Your stomach is bulging now. If there is any delicious food later, it will be cheaper for us."

"It's okay. I'll just give it to you." Shanzi patted his stomach with satisfaction and gave a thumbs up, "Sister Mei is really awesome. You can find such a store. The boss's craftsmanship is really nothing to say!"

"The smell of wine is not afraid of the deep alley. We will come early today, otherwise there will be a lot of people!" Xiaomei pulled out a veil, wiped the corners of her brother's mouth, and then asked him to pay the bill.

The boss's wife smiled and said, "This girl has already paid."

"Xing'er, you..." Xiaomei said urgently, "It was agreed that I would treat you to cold noodles. Why are you still rushing to pay?"

"How can you treat me!" Xu Xinger got up and pushed Xiaomei out. "We have bothered you a lot. I can't afford to treat you to something expensive. I'll treat you to a bowl of cold noodles, even if it's my intention."

At this time, the sun is about to set, there are more and more people on the street, and there are many people selling food on the roadside. Many people are sitting on the bench on the roadside, holding bowls and eating.

"You see, there are more and more people now. If it's later, it's time to queue up in the alley." Xiaomei led the way in front and took the shortcut directly to the river. Some people on the roadside began to set up stalls, more carrying burdens or pushing cars, following the flow of people all the way to Bixia Yuanjun Temple.

Xiaomei raised her finger upstream and pushed Xu Xinger and said, "Xinger, you see, there are people from the government, preparing for lanterns at night!"

"Why can't you see the flower boat?" Xu Xinger narrowed her eyes and tried to look over, but only saw a few people walking around the river.

"Naturally, I won't let you see it now. It won't be released until it's completely dark." Xiaomei's face was full of expectation, "I don't know what the lantern will look like this year."

"Xing'er!" Rong Haoxuan's voice came from behind him, "Do you also come to go shopping? What a coincidence!"

Xu Xinger's face sank slightly and turned her head to look at Rong Haoxuan and said, "We don't know each other. Master Rong, don't call him so close. Although I'm more spicy, I'm still a girl."

Rong Haoxuan hurriedly said that he didn't mean it, and he would definitely pay attention to it in the future. Then, regardless of Xu Xinger's cold face, he came up and said, "It's better to rush early. It's better to meet so many people. Why don't we go shopping together."

"Don't say it if you can't speak. What a coincidence..." Xu Xinger whispered. She was reluctant, but she was embarrassed to refuse. She turned around and asked, "Sister Mei, what do you think?" She kept winkin at Xiaomei and wanted to refuse through Xiaomei's mouth.

Who knew that Xiaomei didn't receive it at all and nodded happily: "If Master Rong doesn't dislike it, let's go shopping together. Isn't it because there are too many people?"

"This girl is reasonable." Rong Haoxuan didn't know Xiaomei at all, but when he saw that she helped him, he smiled at her without hesitation and nodded slightly to express his gratitude.

Rong Haoxuan was specially dressed today. He was wearing lotus blue straight, wearing big red silk trousers, white silk socks and red square shoes. The decorations hanging around his waist were exquisite and meticulous, looking like a beautiful man.

Xiaomei's face was hot with his smile, and she quickly lowered her head to cover it up.

Seeing the flowing water in Xiaomei's eyes, Xu Xinger turned her head and spit out her tongue in the mountain and whispered, "I think we can lead Taoer away later."

Shanzi patted Xu Xinger's hand soothingly and replied in a low voice, "After the lanterns are lit, let's find an opportunity to separate."

Seeing that Shanzi united with herself without thinking, Xu Xinger raised the corners of her lips with satisfaction and lowered her voice again, "I'm just saying that I really want to keep Xiaomei with him, and I'm still worried!"

When Rong Haoxuan saw that Xu Xinger not only ignored himself, but bit his ears with Shanzi, he couldn't help frowning. He just wanted to say something, but he resisted it and tried to change his smile before saying, "Miss Xu, let's go downstream along the river. When it gets dark, the downstream will be lively!"

"It's just some rural people to join in the fun, and it's rare that Master Rong will also be interested." Shanzi is polite to everyone. Only when he speaks to Rong Haoxuan, he brings his own sarcastic skills as soon as he opens his mouth.

Rong Haoxuan stared at the mountain, but he endured it and still didn't have an attack. He cleared his throat and made a very elegant look and said, "It's some local things that are rarely seen on weekdays, so he took advantage of the holiday to go out and walk around, which is also considered to cool down and relieve the summer heat. It's boring."

Shanzi said no more, protecting the side behind Xu Xing'er and Tao'er, helping them block the crowded pedestrians from time to time.

Xu Xinger didn't want to be ruined by Rong Haoxuan's interest in playing, so she simply pulled Taoer and talked to her: "Taoer, look, there are noodle kneading people and sugar-blown paintings over there. Do you want me to buy you a sugar painting?"

Taoer bulged her cheeks tangledly, thought about it for a long time before gritting her teeth and withdrew her eyes, shaking her head and said, "I was full just now, but now I can't eat it. It's time to melt it."

Xu Xinger was very happy to see that her sister knew how to consider problems in this way. She came up and kissed her as an encouragement and promised, "Taoer is really sensible today. Sister wants to reward you, okay? Well, what's the reward? Why don't you buy something later, as long as it's not too expensive, the elder sister will buy it for you, okay?

"Good!" Taoer nodded happily, stretched out her hand and hooked Xu Xinger, "Don't change after hanging the hook for a hundred years!"

Xu Xinger just felt that she had had a successful early childhood education. As soon as she turned around, she saw Rong Haoxuan holding two sugar paintings of big dragons in his hand, one to Taoer and the other to Xiaozhu...
