The official road of the farmer

The New Year passed quickly. Although the senior brother hadn't returned to Beijing yet, he still picked a time to go to Fang's Mansion. After all, the Fang's family had always taken good care of him since he came to Shangjing, and he had to pay New Year's greetings no matter what.

Ye Junshu also took the time to stay at Yu Maolin's house for two days. None of Yu Maolin's immediate family members were here.

For the rest of the time, Ye Junshu basically took the children to play around, catching up with the excitement.

Soon the end of the Spring Festival will come. Once the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over, the year will be over.

And the [-]th day is the busiest day in Shangjing Market, like the last carnival.

Zhen Guohou Mansion

It was rare for Li Changchuan to have time to spare, and he wanted to go out to see the hustle and bustle of the capital, so naturally Li Yu would not disturb his interest.

Ever since the eldest brother's legs were disabled, he would never step out of the Hou's mansion in Beijing unless necessary.

Maybe he didn't want to see his familiar relatives and friends look at him with sympathy and pity, and he didn't want to see his family's gloating face.

Full of unfulfilled ambitions, Li Changchuan undoubtedly had his wings broken, and he could no longer unleash the blood in his chest. This was a big blow to Li Changchuan.

Moreover, Li Changchuan also knew that since he returned from the border, he would not be able to return to that bloody place where he could display his ambitions in his lifetime.

Those close to him could see that Li Changchuan's will was slowly becoming depressed. If it wasn't for his resolute personality, his personality would have changed drastically over the past few years.But even so, he gradually accumulated some depression in his heart.

Others were also anxious to see it, but unfortunately there was no good way.

Li Yu kept persuading Li Changchuan to go out for a walk more to relax, but he was rejected by a few words.

Now that he took the initiative to ask to go out, the whole Hou Mansion instantly felt happier than New Year's Eve.

Li Yu went back to his room and changed his clothes, looked down, thought for a while, and found a folded cloak from the closet, and put it on his body.

He looked in the mirror and felt that the black clothes didn't match. After hesitating for a moment, he dug out clothes of other colors from the depths of the closet. The white brocade embroidered with blue patterns was very suitable for this cloak.

When he walked in front of Li Changchuan, Li Changchuan was so surprised that he almost spit out a mouthful of warm tea.

His younger brother, since he came back from the frontier, didn't like to wear clothes of these colors. He only wore black clothes all the time. Although every season he would let the mansion make a few sets of clothes in the color of cyan that he once loved the most, but I have never seen him wear it.

Li Changchuan couldn't help thinking, could it be that he was willing to go out and make his brother so happy, so he also satisfied his resentment?

"This cloak is nice, I haven't seen you wear it before."

Li Changchuan took a closer look, why didn't he remember that his brother had this cloak?He suddenly had bright eyes, and looked at Li Yu's face.

Li Yu's expression was frank, "It's a gift from a friend, as a meeting gift."

What friend will send a cape as a meeting gift?Li Changchuan suddenly smelled something, he straightened his waist, and asked with great interest, "Oh? Which friend? The young son of the Anping Hou family?"

Li Yu frowned, "New friend, you don't know him, and the relationship between me and Xiao Shizi is only average." Then he said, "Brother, don't think so much, before you find someone who can take care of you for the rest of your life, I won't go out with a bond."

Li Changchuan has been with his father since he was a teenager, and has been at the border. Later, his parents and second brother died one after another, and he was ordered to guard the border when he was in danger, and major life events were delayed.

Not only him, even the royal family is actively planning for Li Changchuan's marriage.

But in fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that although the favor of the Li family is still there, it has begun to decline. Moreover, any family with a certain status, how can they be willing to have their brother marry a useless person?

No matter from which point of view, there are more disadvantages than advantages.

And those who are willing to get married are basically those from small families who want to climb high.

Li Changchuan may have never planned to start a family because he didn't want to drag others down.

And Li Yu, because he stayed at the border for several years, accidentally disfigured his face, and became the object of the unmarried young master of the Jingli family's talk, fearing that the emperor would be overwhelmed and marry him.

Due to various reasons, the brothers of the Li family have become difficult brothers who no one wants.

After hearing Li Yu's words, Li Changchuan showed helplessness.

Although he is very happy that his younger brother cares about him, he can't make fun of lifelong events.

He secretly decided, um, let's listen to the empress's words, if there is a promising young talent in this year's test, I beg the emperor to give me a marriage, and let my younger brother go out with a contract.

Although he was very reluctant, but it was for the benefit of his younger brother, so he should reluctantly send his younger brother out as a bond.

Even if my younger brother doesn't care about the gossip outside, he will still be unhappy in his heart, right?

It's just that the thought of my younger brother becoming someone else's family...

Li Changchuan clutched his heart, feeling extremely stuffy.

Li Yu frowned and watched Li Changchuan's complexion change, he didn't know what he was thinking, his expression was so rich, he looked at the sky outside, it was slightly darkened.

"Brother, let's go out."

"Ah."

Li Yu and the others are relatively low-key when they go out, but they still bring a lot of people.Li Changchuan was not good at walking, so he was carried out by several guards.

It was not too late, when they arrived at the private room of their restaurant, the outside was not really lively yet.

The windows facing the street are opened, and the wide view can be seen far away.

They sat by the window, and when the hot snacks and tea were served, countless lanterns on the street lit candles.

Not long after, the whole of Shangjing was as bright as day.

Holding hot tea, Li Changchuan sighed, "I haven't seen such a lively scene for a long time."

"Beijing has been very lively these days. If you go out often, you can see it anytime."

Li Changchuan looked at Li Yu with a smile, "It's my brother's fault, if brother Yu likes to be lively, my brother should often take you out."

Li Yu frowned subconsciously, and just wanted to retort that he didn't like to join in the fun, but if he said that, wouldn't the eldest brother not want to go out even more, so he nodded against his will.

Li Changchuan's brows and eyes were instantly stained with a smile. He took a sip of hot tea and turned his head to look at the rapidly bustling street.

The red lanterns are hung high, neatly arranged in rows and rows, and booths are set up one by one. There are countless dazzling lanterns of all kinds.

The number of pedestrians gradually increased, and they were basically family-led. Everyone carried a lantern, and there were all kinds of strange shapes. They should be self-made.

Everyone had beaming faces, and Li Changchuan felt relieved looking at it.

What their Li family has guarded for generations is the territory of Daxia and the people of Daxia, and he is also proud of it. Unfortunately, this long-cherished wish has finally come to nothing.

He looked at his legs, his eyes dimmed for a moment.

Fearing that his younger brother would notice something strange, Li Changchuan smiled and said to Li Yu, "Do you want to go out to play?"

Li Yu hesitated for a while, and said, "Later." He was worried that his brother would be thinking wildly again when he was alone.

"Alright, the real fun is yet to come." Li Changchuan said with a smile.

Ye House

"Brother, hurry up! It's so late!"

The children were all standing in the yard, waiting for Ye Junshu and the others to come out, they couldn't wait to go out.

Everyone has a lantern in their hands. This is what they made today. The twins are a pair of small and domineering little tigers. Brother Qin’s is a bunny lantern, and Brother Lu’s is a lotus lantern. .

Xiao Shan has a unique hobby, and what he wants is a snake-shaped lantern.

Soon, Ye Junshu came out of the house, holding a four-dimensional lantern in his hand, the shape was extremely weird.

Cough, this is a lantern made for him by the children together, so I can't disappoint the children's wishes.

Fearing that the children would not be careful when carrying them, all of their lanterns were not lit with candles.

When people are all together, a large group of people set off to the lively street.

They made an appointment to visit the Lantern Market with Yu Maolin. When they arrived at the intersection, Yu Maolin was already standing at the agreed place.

Yu Maolin was also holding a lantern in his hand. When he saw the four-faced figure in Ye Junshu's hand, he frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Ye Junshu showed off first, "This is the lantern that the children made for me. Isn't it beautiful?"

Yu Maolin: "..." His expression was quite indescribable.

They walked down the street following the crowd.

Tens of thousands of lit lanterns illuminated the entire night, and there was a din of people, more lively than the previous night.

The children carried lanterns in their hands and walked among the crowd, not recklessly, but they saw that other people's lanterns had candlelight, so they lit them in the same direction.

Later, Ye Junshu had no choice but to light small candles for them that were originally only used as decorations.

There was a candle in the small lantern, and the children walked more cautiously, for fear that the light would go out accidentally.

While Ye Junshu looked at the child, he and Yu Maolin went to see the lantern riddles and couplets at the booth.

This guy is also weird, when he sees the pairs of lantern riddles that he thinks are simple, he dismisses them and only looks for difficult ones.

It was rare for Ye Junshu to participate in this kind of grand event, and he wanted to show off his style, but Yu Maolin's expression was too disgusting, Ye Junshu thought that he also had a lantern, so he didn't go to guess riddles with a group of people.

Hmm, maybe there is also the idea that I am bullying?After all, it was too simple for them.

After walking around for a while, Yu Maolin suddenly felt Dugu seeking defeat, so he said to Ye Junshu, "Zizhou, let's set up a stall to ask questions, these are too simple, and I have no desire to answer them at all."

Ye Junshu: "..." I knelt down as soon as I thought about it.

Yu Maolin really wanted to do it. He swept around and bought a small booth at a big price. He didn't want any riddles that were not difficult in his eyes, and then called Ye Junshu, "You also come up with a few questions."

How much trust is this in him?

My friend is too capricious, what can he do?I have no choice but to be crazy!

Ye Junshu told Xiao Shannan Ah Mo and the others to be optimistic about the twins, while he and Yu Maolin held blank red letters.

He thought for a while, and took a pen to write down a few questions that he thought were quite difficult.

Yu Maolin has also written down a few guessing questions, and then wrote a few big characters on the big lanterns, and hung them up——

Whoever answers correctly will be rewarded with a hundred taels.

Very eye-catching.
