Chapter 26 New Year’s Eve
Time quickly came to New Year's Eve. People came to the county town early on this day. Although the performance almost went around the streets of the county town and there was no need for everyone to gather in one place, there were still many people waiting at the starting point early. These people all wanted to follow the team. The runners had already stood at the route of the parade, holding sticks in their hands to prevent anyone from crossing the line. There were also some volunteers who helped maintain order.
The most famous restaurant in Hu County is Tianquelou, which is 5 stories high. From the 2nd floor, you can see the scene downstairs clearly. Only the rich and powerful can book a private room here on New Year's Eve. The brothers and sisters of the Tian family booked a seat on the 2nd floor. The 2nd floor is connected from east to west and north to south, and you can see the scenery in all directions. The 3rd floor and above have been reserved long ago.
At this time, in a private room on the 3rd floor
Lord He has officially taken office and is now the Tongpan of Lin'an Prefecture. Today, he specially invited the prefect to come to Hu County to watch the parade.
"Sir, the nobles in the capital have already chosen our Lin'an Prefecture and are now selecting a list of personnel. What we can do now is to ensure that this matter is foolproof." After saying this, Master He picked up the tea at hand and began to sip it.
"So this is the area you chose for me."
"This place is so nice. Although it's not as luxurious as Kyoto, it's full of life and people's luck. Isn't this just what you want, sir?"
"But now there are not only people from Lake County here, but also celebrities from all over the country. Aren't you afraid of accidentally hurting some dignitaries? I'm afraid that our lives will not be enough to compensate for it."
"Don't worry about this, my lord. People who shouldn't come won't come, and can't come. Your Excellency will have her own arrangements, and she won't be so unscrupulous."
"Humph, this is not unscrupulous enough!" Li Zhifu sneered. He also knew that he had no choice. The arrival of He Tongpan actually saved him. He could only choose to join in and not let anyone know that he was involved in this matter.
"Okay, I know you are angry, sir, but I promise to keep you safe regardless of whether the plan can be accomplished or not. If the plan is accomplished, you will definitely be promoted."
"I'll leave it to you as to how you will proceed. I will cooperate with you."
"Okay, I'll notify you once you've made all the arrangements. We can't afford to neglect this matter. We have to be prepared at all times."
"Of course. Lake County is so popular, it's no wonder it was chosen. Let's take a good look at this parade and this grand event today. I'm afraid we won't have a chance to watch it again in the future."
"Tian County Magistrate is also a good one. Listen to the voices downstairs. There are already so many people here before the event even starts. After tonight, the reputation of Hu County will probably spread even further and wider."
Magistrate Li felt a great sense of irony, but only if he succeeded would he be well. This was the fate of Hu County and also the fate of Magistrate Tian.
At some point, the night began to darken, and there was a rustling sound downstairs, and someone shouted loudly: "It's about to start, it's about to start."
Then a burst of firecrackers sounded, and the event officially kicked off.
The first people to enter were two people in uniform holding a banner with the name of the performance, information about the main performers, etc. Then a group of people in colorful clothes and stilts entered, playing with the props in their hands.
Next came a group of Hu people. The women wore veils and danced the Hu dance, while the men held musical instruments and sang as they walked.
Then another group of people performed the lion dance and slowly entered the venue.
Suddenly, a thick smoke rose up and everyone could not see the performance team. They were confused for a moment. Suddenly, several dancers appeared in the smoke. They all wore red scarves, had white flags on their backs, and held swords in their hands. They danced as if they were engaged in close combat.
After entering the venue, the dancers moved forward while performing, and the crowd followed them.
Suddenly, there were exclamations from the crowd behind. More than ten people came pushing a performance float. On the float was a famous women's song and dance troupe from Jiangnan. They danced their famous dances on the float, musicians played, flower petals fell, and the women looked like fairies walking out of a painting. Their dancing was graceful and wonderful, and everyone was fascinated by it.
"The performance in Hu County is really wonderful. I think it is no worse than that in Beijing. The magistrate of Hu County is really amazing. He can attract so many wonderful people to celebrate the New Year. This year's trip is really worthwhile."
"Of course, our County Magistrate Tian is very powerful. He is our adopted parent. Because of County Magistrate Tian, everyone in our county has extra money this year. We have built a few more houses and our lives are much better. Only County Magistrate Hu could think of such a wonderful celebration. You can't see it anywhere else, and it's free."
"That's right, I watched the one in the summer, and it's still fresh in my memory. I thought I would definitely watch this year's New Year's Eve celebration, but I didn't expect it to be even better than the previous one. It was so exciting."
"Be careful not to push each other, and pay attention to safety." The yamen runners issued warnings on the side. If they saw too many people and people were pushing each other, they would ask people to stop to prevent a stampede.
"The officials in Hu County are really good. There were so many people but nothing unexpected happened."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, what bad words are you saying? You shouldn't say such things."
"Yes, yes, bah, bah."
"These bailiffs in our county were specially trained by the county magistrate. Of course they are different. This is also for everyone's safety."
"By the way, will the food court open after this performance? I actually want to eat more delicious food."
"It's almost time. The performances here will continue for a while before the market opens. County Magistrate, don't think that the market will be packed with people. It will be enough after watching a few performances. When we get to the next intersection, we can change our route to the food street or other streets to eat and drink. This year, there are many different kinds of food, wine, and beauties in Hu County. Hahahaha."
"Okay, brother, please point out the way to the intersection and I'll go eat. The show is almost over and I'm afraid someone else will come in to watch."
"no problem."
People followed the performance team and kept moving forward. After watching all the performances, some people continued to follow the team to watch it again, while some people went to other streets to watch the activities after watching. The whole Hu County was very lively today, and the celebration lasted until midnight.
Some people came to the City God Temple early to wait in order to get a good seat. Those who came slowly after eating and drinking found that there were no good seats left. A large group of people waited outside the City God Temple to celebrate the New Year, and the scene was quite spectacular.
"Hey, this is the first time I've seen such a scene in my life."
"Yeah, who says it isn't? I hope we can have the same grand scene next year."
The people outside were constantly talking and sighing. In the temple, the Tian brothers and sisters also followed their family to the temple to guard it. Magistrate Tian was in charge of ringing the bell today to get rid of the old and welcome the new, indicating a good omen for the year.
Suddenly, people outside began to count down together: "Five, four, three, two, one."
The New Year arrived with the sound of "Dong Dong Dong" bells.
This was followed by a burst of fireworks.
"May it always be like this, with new things happening every year." Everyone wished each other a happy new year. No matter whether they knew each other or not, they were all friends today.
This fireworks display was so beautiful that it is unforgettable. It will be an unforgettable memory for the people of Lake County and for those who came to Lake County to celebrate the New Year this year.
