Chapter 221 Buying Lanterns (2/2)



Old Man Yun had just counted out five copper coins from his purse and was about to hand them over when Yun Nian'an spoke.

"Grandpa, buy one for each of my brothers. It's not expensive, only 5 copper coins."

Old Man Yun heard his most beloved granddaughter speak, and turned his head to look at the group of kids at home who were so old.

Why are you all so troublesome? Even though you are so grown up, you still want children's toys.

In Old Man Yun’s heart, Yun Nian’an is a child, and the others are all big children.

Regardless of the fact that Yun Nian'an was only two or three years older than them.

Yun Qingyu couldn't help feeling happy when he heard his sister speak. It seemed that his sister really loved him.

Old Man Yun waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys go pick the ones you like."

The stall owner couldn't help but look at Yun Nian'an again. Just now, when the grandson of the old man in front of him said he wanted to buy something, the old man's face suddenly became gloomy and he even scolded them.

When it was his little granddaughter's turn, the corners of her mouth were almost stretched to her ears. Why was she treated so differently?

I couldn't figure it out, but he continued to introduce the lanterns enthusiastically. After all, there were so many children in front of him.

Yun Qinghe chose a tiger like Yun Qingyu, and Yun Qingwen chose a duck.

Yun Qingmu chose a pig-shaped lantern, while Yun Qingguo chose a chicken-shaped lantern.

After making his selection, Old Man Yun paid 30 copper coins, which the boss happily took. Old Man Yun then left with his family.

Wandering on the street, many people were discussing the Lantern Festival which was about to begin.

Yun Nian'an asked, "Grandpa, are there any particular requirements for the Lantern Festival?"

“It’s very particular, it happens every year!

You can buy a lotus-shaped wishing lantern and place it in the pond.”

Yun Qingyu was a little confused: "Grandpa, why can't we put a tiger shape? Tigers look so majestic and powerful, why does it have to be in the shape of a lotus?"

Old Man Yun tapped his grandson's head and said, "Why do you always have so many questions? That was decided by the previous national master, saying that every Mid-Autumn Festival we should light lanterns to express our thoughts.

This way you can bring your thoughts to the place you want to go. If there is no one you want to go to, you can use the lanterns to make a wish. "

Yun Nian'an was particularly interested in the former national teacher mentioned by his grandfather.

"Grandpa, tell me about the former national master. I have never heard of him."

When Old Man Yun mentioned the former national master, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Old Imperial Master, that is a national treasure!

He is the savior of our great dynasty. If it weren’t for the old imperial master, our great dynasty would have been torn apart by now!

Which country does our area belong to? Not necessarily!

In the past, many countries wanted to take over our great dynasty’s vast territory. It was the former imperial teacher who was brave and resourceful, and who provided advice and strategies to repel the enemy.

When the previous national master was in office, our dynasty only had one-third of the land it has today, and the other one-third was conquered bit by bit by the national master and his generals.

There has long been a legend among the people that the old national master was a man from heaven who had descended to earth. It is also said that if the old national master had not returned to heaven, the great dynasty would have much more territory than it does today.

I’m afraid that the surrounding small countries will be conquered by the national master and his men…”

Old Man Yun spoke excitedly about how the old national teacher was heroic and brave, and how he was both courageous and resourceful in capturing the enemy on the battlefield.

How can he be wise? He changed all the unreasonable laws of the dynasty and implemented many laws.

"By the way, divorcing a husband is an old-fashioned way of thinking.

In the past, there was basically only divorce for wives, but no woman could divorce her husband!

In our dynasty, if a couple cannot live together, or if the man does something to let his wife down, the wife has the right to ask for a divorce!"
