Chapter 1513: Maybe I’ll have a big fat boy next year
Princess Linghua felt Erpan's contemptuous look and couldn't help but raise her chin.
You little brat! Who are you looking down on?
Could it be that both Xia Siya and I have bitter faces?
In that case, given the character of the real Prince Mingxuan, he would probably lose interest in no time.
How will this play be performed then?
Erpan curled his lips and looked away when he saw Princess Linghua's smug look.
He would never bother to argue with such a spineless woman!
When Princess Linghua saw Erpan defeated, she was as proud as a victorious hen, with her wings puffed up.
Tang Bao sympathized with her eldest nephew for a second, and then sympathized with her second nephew for another second.
The eldest nephew is acting out a sad drama, and the second nephew will probably be often picked on by Princess Linghua in the future!
"Brother, let's stay one more day." Tang Bao looked at Xuanyuan Jin and said with a smile, "It's a good opportunity to experience the local customs and culture here."
"good!"
Xuanyuan Jin naturally would not refuse.
As long as the little girl likes it.
Shi Liu was very happy to see that her young lady agreed.
"Miss, I've heard that there's a Qiqiao Festival here on the Qixi Festival. The most skillful girl can ride in a float in the parade." Shi Liu said confidently, "Miss, you will definitely win first place and surpass all the other beauties!"
"Isn't this nonsense! With the young lady here, which girl in the world can defeat her?" Princess Linghua said as a matter of course.
The innkeeper's wife came in carrying a teapot. After hearing what Princess Linghua said, she immediately said flatteringly, "This little girl is obviously very clever and skillful. If she can win the first prize in the Qiqiao Festival, I'm afraid countless young men from wealthy families will compete to give her lanterns."
"Send lanterns? Why? Is it to express affection?" Princess Linghua asked with interest.
The chubby proprietress put down the teapot and explained with a smile, "It's an expression of admiration. If a girl accepts a young man's lantern, it means she accepts his feelings. The two of them can go to the river together to release lanterns and make a wish. Afterwards, the family will send someone to propose marriage."
After hearing this, Princess Linghua smiled and said, "Your custom is quite interesting."
"That's right! Many girls are trying their best to show off their skills during the Qiqiao Festival, hoping to find a good husband." The proprietress opened up and talked non-stop, "There are also two families who are already interested in the girl and deliberately want to discuss the marriage after the Qiqiao Festival. The man wants to see the girl's talent, and the woman also wants her daughter to show off her skills so that the in-laws will look at her in a better light..."
"In that case, there must be a man who has a crush on a girl and specifically sends lanterns on the Qiqiao Festival to express his love." Princess Linghua said.
After saying that, he glanced at Xia Siya.
This girl will definitely receive the lantern, but I wonder if she will become enlightened?
Su Tang's eldest nephew is so pitiful!
"Of course there are." After hearing what Princess Linghua said, the fat proprietress said frankly, "Often, the Qiqiao Festival can bring together many young men and women. Some men who are usually dull hope to get married during the Qiqiao Festival!"
When the proprietress said this, she laughed to herself.
"After all, just put the lantern in front of the girl and you can express your feelings without saying anything." The proprietress continued with a smile.
"That's true." Princess Linghua nodded with a smile.
Su Tang's eldest nephew, did you hear that?
This princess has already asked for you!
Princess Linghua looked at Tang Bao and gave him a look that asked for praise.
Tang Bao smiled, her smile as gentle as a spring breeze.
**
The next day, the streets were indeed bustling.
There are people selling flowers, lanterns, and snacks...
When Tang Bao arrives at a place, he or she will naturally not give up the local special food.
"Brother, this kind of mutton soup with steamed buns must taste special when eaten in winter." Tang Bao said while sitting in a snack bar.
In winter, having a big bowl of mutton soup with steamed buns will make you feel warm all over, which must be very comfortable.
Xuanyuan Jin took a bite slowly and said, "Then we'll come back to eat in winter."
Don't eat it now.
Although Xuanyuan Jin didn't show any expression on his face, Tang Bao could tell at a glance that the little brother didn't like to eat.
"If you don't like it, don't eat it." Tang Bao said.
"You should eat less too, be careful not to get a sore throat." Xuanyuan Jin put down his chopsticks.
"Yeah." Tang Bao nodded, looked at the waiter, and said, "Give me a bowl of jelly!"
"Okay!"
The waiter agreed and quickly brought up another bowl of jelly.
"Brother, have this." Tang Bao said, "This is also a local specialty."
Tang Bao pushed the jelly in front of Xuanyuan Jin.
However, his eyes were fixed on the jelly and he didn't move away.
Xuanyuan Jin picked up the small spoon in the bowl and scooped a spoonful of jelly.
"Open your mouth."
Xuanyuan Jin said this and brought the spoon to Tang Bao's mouth.
Tang Bao immediately smiled and opened her mouth obediently.
It tastes sour, spicy and a little sweet. Tangbao decided that she loves this jelly!
Shi Liu, who was eating at the next table, said: "..."
Can’t see, can’t see…
Shi Liu tried so hard to eat that he almost stuck his head into the bowl.
My Lord, I am doomed to fail to live up to your trust.
Shi Liu looked at Da Pan and Er Pan.
Da Pan and Er Pan were eating with big mouthfuls and didn't notice at all.
"Do you like to eat?" Xuanyuan Jin asked with a gentle look.
"Yeah." Tang Bao nodded happily.
There is nothing more joyful than arriving at a place and eating your favorite food.
The expression on Xuanyuan Jin's face became softer.
"Take another bite."
Xuanyuan Jin scooped another spoonful.
Tang Bao shook her head and said, "I'll wait until noon to eat."
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to finish the mutton soup with steamed bun in her bowl.
"Open your mouth!" Xuanyuan Jin insisted.
Tang Bao had no choice but to open her mouth and take another bite.
Then, he narrowed his big eyes happily.
"This young husband really loves this young lady." A woman nearby said with a wrinkled smile, "He even feeds her when she's eating. It's obvious that they are newlyweds. He holds her in high regard. Who knows, they might have a big fat boy next year."
After the woman finished speaking, she smiled with the expression of someone who had experienced it.
Only a young couple of this age can have such affection and courage that they are not afraid of being criticized.
Tang Bao: “…”
His little face turned dark.
What big fat boy?
"Auntie, this is my brother!" Tang Bao said.
The woman, however, had a look of disbelief on her face, and said sympathetically, "I'm afraid you're not from our area. Let me tell you, today is the Qiqiao Festival. Here, even if you're a bit bold and walk hand in hand, no one will laugh at you."
This day is an open day for young men and women.
You can express your love boldly without worrying about etiquette.
Tang Bao: "...Auntie, this is really my brother."
Tang Bao looked helpless.
Besides, Auntie, don’t you see how old I am this year?
"Young lady, do you think I'm a fool?" The woman said angrily, "A brother of this age would feed his sister like this?"
Tang Bao: “…”
No?
Tang Bao thought about it and realized that her brothers had never fed her.
