Chapter 455 Flower Boat·Lantern
"This is Senior Brother Bai Zhan's sister, and also Huo Ling'er's sister, Xiaoni." Huo Ling'er enthusiastically introduced her.
"Bai Xiaoni." Xiaoni said crisply.
The delicate voice immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"Little sister, what are you doing outside the gate? Why is it so busy?" Hearing the commotion at the outer gate was particularly lively, and the rhythm of the gongs and drums was very familiar, Baiyunlou asked Green Ant casually.
"Ah..., that...a group of opera singers and dancers came to the door..." Green Ant tried hard to describe.
A-niang smiled and said, "A-Lou, don't ask Xiao Yi, she has probably never seen this before. The people from Shanghe Village who are the most noisy every year during the Lantern Festival come to play with flower boats again."
"You guys came back just in time. If you don't mind the noise, let's go to the store together and have a look."
"Go and have a look, I haven't seen Chaoyang either." Junior Sister Xia, who loves fun, was the first to respond.
"Let's go then. We have been making a fuss at the door for a while. It's not your father. He rewarded the group of people playing with flower boats with ten taels of silver. The boss was so happy that he had to sing enough for one stick of incense. Our family It’s really lively at the entrance.”
Aniang was chattering about Father Bai, but her face was full of joy.
Outside the gate, there were already crowds of neighbors and county residents listening to music and watching the excitement. Auntie led a few people into the cloth shop through the side door, and now they could see clearly.
Father Bai was standing at the door beaming with joy, and was calling the store clerk to bring some candies to distribute to the neighbors who had gathered in a circle to watch the fun. He turned around and saw Aniang returning to the store. Everyone behind him had arrived, and he suddenly became more excited. Feeling excited, he raised his hand and waved outside.
The master immediately understood and started moving the flower boat, composing the little words, and the whole scene immediately became more lively.
This year, there was a large number of flower boats coming to Shanghe Village to pay their respects, with more than ten people in total.
Four gong and drum beaters stood on opposite sides, beating the gongs and drums passionately while calming down the scene.
A boat lady, dressed in colorful clothes, with makeup and powder on her face, is standing in the flower boat, holding a colorful flower boat nearly ten feet long, rising and falling with the sound of gongs and drums, as if she is really on the big river. It's like floating in the air.
A very strange-looking punter stood on the side of the boat making a punt-like gesture, moving forward, backward, left and right, busy incessantly.
There are also eight young girls, holding lotus flowers in their hands, accompanying them on both sides of the flower boat. They beat the lotus flowers on their bodies with the rhythm, making a sweet chirping sound.
The most outstanding thing is the boatman, who cooperates well with the boat lady.
If you encounter a flower boat that runs aground, you will be so anxious that you will blow your beard and stare. You will also hold the boat pole wrapped with colorful cloth strips and look around, thinking about countermeasures.
Finally, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped his hands, using all his strength, carrying it on his shoulders and back, and cooperated with the boat lady to stir up the flower boat again.
Immediately, warm cheers rang out in the audience. Even Huo Ling'er and Xiao Ni understood what was happening and stood at the door of the store and cheered along with them.
The green ants were a little stunned. They had never seen such lively singing and dancing. Although it was not on the stage, it was really lively and interesting.
"It's so fun, senior brother, why don't you have time to play this with junior sister?" Junior Sister Xia's message rang in Baiyunlou's ears.
Just as he was watching, Baiyunlou was suddenly startled.
Seeing the boat lady's appearance and the pole-polling, Baiyunlou was horrified and quickly sent a message: "Junior sister, keep watching, it will be more lively later."
If it was as Baiyunlou said, after the boat sailed smoothly, the boatman behaved in various funny ways and made jokes, which made the theatergoers burst into laughter. Even Huo Ling'er and Xiao Ni were made to laugh.
Finally, all the girls who were beating lotus flowers appeared on the stage, surrounding the flower boat, and the lotus flowers were beating loudly. They sang and danced in unison, and the cheers from the audience resounded throughout the Liuhua River.
With the passionate yo-yo sounds from the girls, the entire flower boat performance came to an end, and almost everyone felt that they still had more to say.
However, this group of flower boat players will have to dance for most of the day. This episode has just begun, so those who like to watch theater can just follow along.
Dad brought New Year's goods and fruit wine, which he presented to the opera troupe in a grand manner, which made the surrounding neighbors applaud.
After seeing off the troupe, the front of Bai's house became a little quieter. Xia Zhaoyang was intrigued and wanted to follow along to watch the fun.
This guy is really excited. Baiyunlou thought for a while and said: "The flower boat players will have to wait for a while before they change their tricks. Let's go around in a circle and look for them to watch the show again. We won't delay. Huo Ling'er is still here." Thinking about candied haws..."
When their senior brother mentioned the candied haws on a stick, Huo Ling'er and Xiao Ni immediately retracted their intention to follow and watch the fun. Compared with watching the fun, the candied haws on a stick was more delicious.
"Senior sister, let's go shopping together. Last time, the candy player blew out a little fire spirit..." Huo Ling'er pulled Senior Sister Xia and said softly.
"Okay, okay, senior sister will accompany you." Xia Chaoyang couldn't stand the expectant looks in the two little kids' eyes. He held one in each hand, and after greeting his mother, he called up his senior brother and went out shopping together.
Baiyunlou followed the three of them and was not idle. When he saw something new and pleasing to his eyes, he bought it.
Seeing that a few herrings were very fresh, I gave them some extra silver and asked the fish stall clerk to find a wooden basin to put a few herrings in and help send them to Bai's house.
My father's name is now famous in half of the county. There are few people in this county who don't know the enthusiastic and wealthy Mr. Bai.
The market on the morning of the Lantern Festival was more lively than the usual markets. There were many craftsmen and some charlatans on the street, which dazzled the two little children. They couldn't bear to leave after seeing anything they saw. I forgot all about playing with the flower boat.
This walk was amazing, and when it was almost dusk, Huo Ling'er still collapsed, but Bai Xiaoni was still full of energy.
I didn't expect that such a small person has so much energy.
The candied haws had been eaten long ago, and even the candied man who was reluctant to eat was licked clean. Although Xiao Ni played happily, Huo Ling'er also got over the addiction of being a sister.
After returning to the Bai family courtyard, I had a sumptuous Lantern Festival dinner early just to go see the lanterns early.
On the way back just now, we saw many beautiful lanterns already placed along the street. If it hadn't been for the fact that it was still early and the lanterns were not lit yet, the two little kids would not have wanted to go back for dinner.
As night falls and the lanterns are first lit, the family packs up and goes out to watch the lanterns. Not only are there many lanterns arranged on the streets along the river, but there are also several long strings of lanterns placed in the river. There are huge rocks holding the rope ends, so they will not be blocked. Washed away by running water.
Xia Chaoyang walked in front with the two little kids in hand, exclaiming and cheering every time he saw the strange lanterns.
A Niang was walking in the middle protected by the green ants, looking at the little Chaoyang in front of her who seemed to have not grown up yet, with smiles in her eyes, and talking to the green ants from time to time.
Baiyunlou walked at the back with his father, chatting very orthodoxly, about the changes in the folk customs of Daxia nowadays, and about the benefits and hidden dangers of monks appearing in the mortal world.
