The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together
Chapter 162 Visiting Lanterns
Fortunately, Manager Xue didn't feel confused for too long. After Chen Xiuying finished making the down pants for General Yuchi, she brought samples to his house.
As a result, a craze for down products quickly spread throughout the capital. Many wealthy families in the capital, those with ample funds, approached Datong Trading Company, hoping to place orders for several sets of down products for their families.
Since this down product was very popular before it was sold out, Datong Trading Company was in a bit of a hurry and had to follow Chen Xiuying's advice to make reservations for everyone first, and there were also some advance instructions for the reservations.
"Sir, due to limited resources in the surrounding area, we need to bring in goods from other places. If you have elderly or children at home, or students taking the Spring Examination, you can reserve them first. Others can only be fulfilled one by one according to the order of reservation. If you agree, please sign and leave a deposit. If you are not in a hurry, you can also purchase in the fall or winter."
The person who wanted to buy down products was easy to talk to. He immediately understood. He said, "I can't compete with the elderly and children. It's not easy for students to take the Spring Examination, which only comes once every three years. I'll just have to wait. If there aren't many people ordering down products, maybe I can get in line." So he nodded in agreement. However, others who were not in a hurry decided to buy in the fall and winter.
Chen Xiuying was busy as hell, and Zhou Sisi was also busy. In addition to taking care of her younger brother, she also did a big job.
Her nephew Yi Ge'er had begged her so much, so as a good aunt, she had to fulfill his wish. She decided not to serialize this new picture album. After thinking about it, she spent ten days drawing a picture of "Mulan Joins the Army".
This time, the story was still about war, but the protagonist was a girl. Zhou Si thought she'd enjoyed it as a child, so she figured her nephew would enjoy it, too. Unexpectedly, she misjudged the audience, shifting from children to teenage girls. "Mulan" captivated everyone, from three-year-olds to teenagers. But that's a story for another time.
After finishing painting "Mulan", the fifteenth day of the first lunar month arrived. Old Lady Song brought Zhou Sisi and several grandchildren, a large group of people out to view the lanterns.
The Lantern Festival in Donghua Kingdom lasts for five days. During these five days, the curfew in the capital is lifted and people can have fun all night long.
To attract tourists, businesses display a variety of lanterns, including dragon and phoenix lanterns, ladies offering flowers lanterns, rabbit lanterns, and goldfish lanterns. These lanterns come in various shapes, large and small, round and square, and are beautifully decorated. When the wind blows, the colorful lanterns sway gently, creating a dazzling spectacle.
Zhi and Heng were small but tall. Chen Xiuying, worried the children might get swept away, had Xu Wu and Sun Dashan accompany them. Xu Wu, feeling uncomfortable holding the child's hand, simply lifted Heng onto his shoulder and sat him, holding the child's legs. Sun Dashan, seeing this, followed suit and slung Zhi around his neck.
Zhi Ge'er was very excited when he visited the lantern festival for the first time, but he didn't know how to describe it. He remembered a poem his sister had said, so he blurted out the line, "Fire trees and silver flowers merge, and the iron locks of the star bridge open."
Heng Ge'er heard his brother say that he could do it too, so he also said: "Dark dust follows the horse, and the bright moon follows the man."
Song Tingye, who was standing nearby, happened to hear it. He thought the two lines of poetry were really well said and was waiting for the child to continue. However, there was no movement for a long time. He couldn't help but ask Heng Ge'er, "Anything else?"
Heng Ge'er was stunned by his question, "What else?"
"Did your uncle teach you that poem just now?"
"No, we heard it after my sister said it. But she only said these two sentences."
Song Tingye...
When Zhi Geer heard him talking about his sister, he also showed off: "My sister also recited a complete poem. Let me tell you.
In the east wind night, flowers and trees are bloomed, and the stars are like rain.
The road is filled with the fragrance of BMW and carved carriages."
Heng Ge'er also rushed to answer: "
The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.
The moths are covered with golden threads of snow and willows, and the laughter is full of hidden fragrance. "
Is this over?
Song Tingye felt like something was missing, but he had never heard of this poem by anyone else. He thought that it might be something Zhou Sisi came up with on her own, and it might be incomplete.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wu, who usually doesn't talk much, continued: "I searched for him among the crowd for a thousand times, and when I turned around, he was there, in the dim light."
Song Tingye was stunned and asked, "What did you say?"
Xu Wu explained: “I heard the last line of the poem.
I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when I turned around, he was there, in the dimly lit place. "
After saying that, he ignored Song Tingye and walked quickly forward with Sun Dashan to catch up with the main group.
Only Song Tingye was left standing there in a daze.
We heard that there would be fireworks later, so we decided to go to the old lady's toy shop first. The upstairs of the toy shop was empty, so we could watch the fireworks from there.
The toy shop was located on the east side of Wang Street. It wasn't very far out in the street, but it was still a good spot. There was also a large open space in front of the shop, which was now decorated with lanterns by some merchants for lantern riddles. The crowd walked through the lanterns and came into the shop, where they saw quite a few people.
Zhou Sisi observed carefully and saw that in addition to the clay dolls, bamboo dragonflies, rattles, diabolos, etc. mentioned by Chenxiang, there were also Luban locks, tangrams and nine-linked rings. There were quite a few types of goods in the store.
Zhou Sisi thought carefully about the toys she had played with in modern times, and it seemed she could add a few to her collection. Indoor puzzles, building blocks, hanging ping-pong balls—all of these she had played with as a child, and they were not difficult to make.
There are also many outdoor toys, such as slides, sandbag throwing targets, colorful windmills, and see-saws, which are also very good. Especially the slide and the slide castle, which were her favorite activities when she was a child.
Plus, it's cold now, perfect for building a big ice slide. Wearing a thick coat on a cold day, sliding down it, or even playing a sledding game with others, just thinking about it is exciting! What could be more fun than this?
So, she gave her grandmother a sly smile and said, "Grandma, do you want to make some quick money like my mother?"
After hearing what she said, Old Lady Song became curious. Seeing that downstairs was not a place to talk, she took Sisi's hand and went upstairs.
The old lady has been paying attention to taking care of her health over the years. She must take a walk after every meal, and each walk would last for a quarter of an hour. Therefore, her legs and feet are very flexible, and even now she can climb the stairs without any effort.
There was nothing on the second floor except a simple table, chairs and tea sets. The old lady walked to the table and sat down before asking, "Grandma, of course you want to make money. I wonder how Sisixiang makes it?"
