There is Room For the Poor Daughter

In the first month, the provincial capital is very lively, and various juggling performances on the street come every day.

In the past few days, Li Xingnian often took the three of Daohua and the Li family brothers and sisters out to hang out, or to buy things, or to have tea and listen to books. The little ones had a great time every day.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is here.

"Cousin Zixuan, do we need to go out so early?" Daohua opened her pocket watch and glanced at it, and it was still light at four o'clock in the afternoon (18:00).

Li Zixuan said while pulling Daohua on the horse, "It's getting late, you don't know when you came here for the first time, there are many people on the streets during the Lantern Festival every year, if you go out late, you will definitely be blocked on the road. "

"If we want to see the float parade, we have to go there in advance, otherwise, at night, the whole main street is full of people, and we can't squeeze at all."

Hearing this, Daohua didn't say more, and silently followed Li's cousin into the carriage.

Because of safety concerns, this time, the two uncles and two aunts are going to go. At this moment, they have already sat in the carriage in front. After Daohua sat down, the carriage drove towards the main street.

When there were still two streets away from the main street, Daohua followed the Li family and got off the bus.

"We have to walk over the road after that. There are too many people here, and the carriage can't pass." Li Zixuan explained to Daohua in a low voice.

Daohua nodded, in fact, she didn't need to explain it to her cousin, she could see it.

It's still getting dark now, and the streets are already crowded with people.

After Li Xingnian arranged the parking place for the carriage, everyone walked towards the main street.

"Chen Yi, don't just focus on your own play, you boys, look after the three younger sisters!" Li Xingnian urged.

Li Chenyi immediately replied: "Don't worry, Second Uncle, we will take good care of the younger sisters."

After that, Li Chenyi took the lead, and led a few younger brothers and sisters to the restaurant quickly.

"Big cousin is so considerate!"

During this period, Yan Wenxiu kept walking beside Daohua and the three of them.

Hearing Li Zixuan's words, Daohua covered her mouth and smiled: "My eldest brother is naturally good, it would be better if he didn't always talk about the rules and etiquette."

Li Zixuan saw Daohua's appearance and smiled, "You can be content, we don't want such a gentle and knowledgeable brother yet."

Daohua: "The three cousins ​​are also very good. The eldest cousin is calm, the second cousin is hearty, and the third cousin is gentle and attentive. If there is anything delicious or fun, I think of you guys. He looks like a big brother!"

Li Zixin pouted: "It's not because you are here, they don't take us to play when it's normal."

Daohua smiled: "Boys and girls play different things. I think as a brother, as long as he can protect his sister, he is a good brother."

Suddenly, Li Zixuan took Daohua and trotted: "Don't talk about it, we'll be at the restaurant we ordered soon."

On the main street, all the shops are decorated with lights, and the restaurants are overcrowded.

"My little ancestors, slow down and don't get separated." Auntie reminded loudly from time to time.

Even if Daohua and his party came out early, it was already dark when they arrived at the predetermined restaurant.

"Mom, it's finally here, I feel like I'm about to be squashed!"

Entering the private room of the restaurant, Yan Wenkai exaggeratedly said, and the others laughed when they heard it.

Isn't it like fighting a war.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the weather was still relatively cold, but after walking so much, Daohuasheng was sweating all over. After entering the private room, he had to take out a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat on his forehead.

Sister Li Zixuan pulled Daohua to the window and looked at the dense crowd outside.

Li Zixin: "Fortunately, Daddy booked the restaurant in advance, otherwise, we would have to follow outside and squeeze with others."

Li Zixuan looked around and said regretfully, "It would be great if I could book a seat upstairs, so that I can see farther."

The private room that Li Xingchang ordered was on the first floor, and that's all, he got it all because of his relationship.

Li Zixin sighed and said, "On the day of the Lantern Festival, it's hard to find a restaurant on the main street. Dad booked this private room ten days in advance."

Daohua listened incessantly.

"Yo, isn't this Li's sister?"

Suddenly, a beautiful female voice came from outside the private room.

The private room was open, and when Daohua turned her head, she saw a few girls dressed in jewels looking at them.

Li Zixuan smiled and nodded in response.

As for Li Zixin, she turned her head and pouted, and said to Daohua in a low voice, "That's the girls from the provincial chamber of commerce president's family. Usually they are arrogant because of their family background. look."

"To say hello to us today is definitely to show off their wealth and relationships, and they can book a good private room."

Sure enough, the little girl at the head asked loudly with a smile, "Li's sister, why are you sitting on the first floor and not on the second floor?"

As soon as these words came out, the other little girls crossed their heads and laughed.

Li Zixin said immediately, "We like to sit on the first floor."

The lady from the president's house covered her mouth and smiled: "What can I see on the first floor, a head, or a back?"

Li Zixin said angrily, "We just like to see people's heads and backs. This restaurant is only on the second floor. You guys are just a little taller than us. What are you proud of?"

The smile on the face of the lady of the guild leader's family froze, she glared at Li Zixin, her eyes suddenly fell on Daohua, she looked at the person from head to toe, saw her well-dressed, and asked with a smile: "This sister doesn't seem to have seen her. Well, which one is it?"

Li Zixin: "Of course you haven't seen it before. This is my aunt's cousin."

Hearing this, the guild leader's lady's eyes moved. Sister Li Zixin's aunt seems to be married to an official, right?

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Our house has a private room upstairs. The three younger sisters sitting on the first floor can't even see the shelf of the float. Why don't you come with us?" There was a high alms in his tone.

Li Zixuan and Li Zixin did not speak, but looked at Daohua.

Daohua saw the two looking at her, glanced at the uncles and aunts in the private room who didn't seem to notice their situation, and smiled: "I think the first floor is pretty good, and I see that this sister has a lot of family members. Yes, we won't bother you anymore."

Li Zixin nodded immediately: "Yes, we won't go there."

The guild leader's lady frowned, quickly covered it up again, and continued with a smile: "The Lantern Festival is only once a year, so what's the matter with you sitting on the first floor watching people's heads? Well, who let us know each other, I'll let you know. My sisters are crowded, you go up with us."

Hearing this, Daohua was a little stunned.

The young lady of this guild's family is a little out of her mind. Didn't you hear them say it?

Li Zixin snorted coldly: "If you want to talk about the best view of the floats, you have to be on the Chong Building. What is the second floor of the restaurant, you can only see a float frame, which is no different from the first floor."

The lady of the president's house was choked, and a trace of anger flashed on her face.

If it wasn't for the thought that the relatives of the Li family were officials, she would be too lazy to stand here and slobber.

On the side, the four adults of the Li family did not intervene in the matter between the children, and laughed and laughed on their own.

Just then, someone came in again.

This time, there were adults who happened to be the chairman of the chamber of commerce and the family of some other merchants.

Seeing Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian, Dang Dang's family immediately smiled and said, "Why did the two bosses book a private room on the first floor? Let's go, we have a seat on the second floor, go up to the second floor and have a look."

Li Xingchang refused with a smile: "Thank you for the kindness of Mr. Sun's family, but it's not convenient to bring the female family members this time. Next time."

A businessman stood up and said without a smile: "Boss Li has made a fortune, doesn't he look down on us?"

Li Xingchang didn't answer. Last year, selling watermelons made the Li family very popular. Many of these people were jealous.

Master Sun looked at the people in the room, his eyes focused on the three brothers and sisters of the Yan family: "How about, let a few children go up?"

Li Xingnian smiled and said, "The children in my family are too noisy, so don't bother."

Grandmaster Sun glanced at the Li brothers with a smile. He didn't try to persuade him. He stood and chatted a few words, then turned around and left with his daughter and others.

"This Li family is really a little ignorant!"

Unexplained low laughter entered the private room.

Daohua glanced at her aunt and uncle, and seeing that they didn't respond, she dropped her hand.

After that, some people came in one after another in the restaurant, many of whom knew the Li family.

Seeing the Li family sitting on the first floor, their faces showed smug expressions, and they came over to invite them in a hypocritical manner, satisfying their inner comparison, and then walked away.

When Daohua saw Li's aunt and uncle, she was not surprised, and she always had a smile on her face. She dared to admire her, and at the same time, she felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

Where there are really people, there are rivers and lakes, and there are organic fronts.

The location of the restaurant ordered by the Li family was not the best on the main street. Almost all the restaurants with good locations were bought by the aristocratic family and officials.

The parade of floats is from the end of the main street to the Chonglou on the main street, and then in front of the Chonglou, the lanterns are lit, and the lanterns are all released.

Therefore, they can only watch the fun.

Before Daohua and the others waited, the street began to surge.

The floats are about to start parading through the streets.

Even if you can only see the figures and heads, Daohua is very interested. It is very exciting to participate in this kind of fun for the whole people and feel the cheerful and lively atmosphere.

At this moment, a team of guards walked into the restaurant quickly and walked straight towards the private room of Daohua and the others.

"Miss Yan, Young Master Yan, I finally found you."

Seeing Zhao Ergou, Daohua was startled: "Why are you here?"

Zhao Ergou smiled: "Master is watching the lanterns in the Chonglou, waiting for you to pass by."
