Although she didn't know why Chen Qiuniang asked her to read this poem, Lu Daoming still read it out.
"On the night of October 12th, I took off my clothes and was about to fall asleep. When the moonlight came into my house, I happily set off."
"Those who think of nothing and find joy then go to Chengtian Temple to look for Zhang Huaimin."
"Huai Min has not gone to bed either, and we are walking together in the courtyard."
"The courtyard is empty and empty like accumulated water. The water is crisscrossed with algae and covered with bamboo and cypress shadows."
"What night is without moon? Where is there no bamboo and cypress? But there are few idle people like the two of us."
After reciting a poem, Lu Daoming still didn't understand why.
Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Lady?"
"Why are you laughing?" Lu Daoming asked very strangely.
"Husband, don't you think it's funny?"
"Read the words carefully!"
"Huai Min hasn't gone to bed either!" After saying this, Chen Qiuniang even laughed so much that her stomach hurt.
After a long while, Chen Qiuniang stopped her laughter and said, "How could it be that Huai Min is still awake?"
"It was clear that the author of this poem had a younger brother with a very high official position, and he forcibly pulled Chen Huaimin out of his sleep."
"Husband, are you right or not?" Chen Qiuniang explained like this, and Lu Daoming suddenly understood.
It turns out that the lady from home was laughing because of this.
Also, who would lie awake in the middle of the night, waiting to find the author of this poem?
And based on Lu Daoming's understanding of the character of the author of this poem, his free and unrestrained nature may have really woken up "Chen Huaimin".
Thinking of this, Lu Daoming, as a scholar, was dumbfounded for a while.
"Qiuniang, your focus is too cunning!"
"During this trip to Huangjiacun, are you going to be like Liu Shi and wake up Brother Tinghui and his wife Wu Feilian from their sleep?"
As expected of a couple, Lu Daoming guessed Chen Qiuniang's thoughts in an instant.
"Why not?"
"How about setting off fireworks and sky lanterns on New Year's Eve?"
"How boring is it to sleep under the covers?"
"I don't want my sister to have such a boring New Year's Eve!"
Chen Qiuniang said with a smile to her husband.
"Madam, I think you want to have an interesting New Year's Eve!"
Lu Daoming looked at his wife helplessly and said.
No one knows his wife's temperament better than Lu Daoming.
However, Lu Daoming did not stop his wife.
This can also prove one thing, that is, "If you are not one of the same family, you will not enter the same family."
Don’t look at Lu Daoming’s usual “observant” behavior.
But we can also tell a little bit about what he is thinking in his heart.
"Here we are, here we are!"
"The ship has docked. It's not far from Huangjia Village. We should be able to get there by walking half a mile!"
After saying that, Chen Qiuniang lifted up her skirt and took the lead to walk down from the boat.
Lu Daoming followed closely, and then a small car was transported from the boat.
This time Chen Qiuniang and Lu Daoming brought a lot of fireworks.
The servants pushed the cart and followed Chen Qiuniang and Lu Daoming towards Huangjiacun.
It was just after the New Year's Eve, and some people were walking home one after another.
Chen Qiuniang and Lu Daoming quickly found a newly built house according to Huang Tinghui's previous description.
"Husband, this should be the place!"
"Look at this lantern. Huang Tinghui won this lantern from the county master!"
Chen Qiuniang pointed to the lantern hanging in front of the new house and said to her husband.
"It seems so. I remember that the lantern has the words inscribed by the county master!"
"It seems to be these ones!"
After receiving a positive answer, Chen Qiuniang pulled the iron ring on the door.
At first, the iron ring only lightly hit the door, and a very clear sound was heard.
"Lian'er, Mr. Huang, are you asleep?" Chen Qiuniang called.
No sound came out from the room, as if Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian were really asleep.
But Chen Qiuniang didn't believe that both of them were asleep, so she knocked on the iron ring twice more.
"Sister Lian'er, Huang Tinghui..."
"Sister Lian'er, Huang Tinghui, stop pretending, today is the time to celebrate the New Year!"
"I just saw a lot of people returning home from your ancestral hall in Huangjia Village. You must have just returned from the ancestral hall too!"
"There is no way you are asleep at this hour!"
"Dang Dang Dang..."
"Dang-dang-dang..." The iron ring knocked on the door rhythmically.
It was not enough for Chen Qiuniang to call Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian herself. She also asked her husband and servants to call them together.
Seemingly defeated by Chen Qiuniang's offensive, the door slowly opened, and a pretty face appeared in front of Chen Qiuniang.
"Sister Qiuniang, why are you here today?"
Wu Feilian asked apologetically.
As for Huang Tinghui, who was on Wu Feilian's side, he was a bit dumbfounded.
Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian had just returned home not long ago, and they originally planned to wash up and go to bed directly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Chen Qiuniang and her husband, who were pregnant with Liujia, suddenly visited.
At first, Huang Tinghui wanted to act like an ostrich. He held the little girl's hand and prevented her from opening the door.
However, Chen Qiuniang and Lu Daoming had already guessed Huang Tinghui's trick.
Where are you willing to leave easily?
In the end, Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian were defeated.
"Today isn't New Year's Eve. Dao Ming and I bought some fireworks."
"It would be too boring for just the two of us to set off fireworks, so I just thought that Dao Ming and I would come to see you two to set off fireworks together."
After saying that, Chen Qiuniang took the little girl and walked out.
Huang Tinghui sighed and could only follow Chen Qiuniang and Wu Feilian out.
As for Lu Daoming, he looked at Huang Tinghui and smiled awkwardly, "Brother Tinghui, Qiu Niang has this temper, please don't take it too seriously!"
Huang Tinghui replied dumbfounded: "With the new year and new atmosphere, Mr. Lu will definitely have a smooth journey in the imperial examination this year!"
"Thank you, Brother Tinghui, for your blessing. I will work hard."
The two of them followed Chen Qiuniang and Wu Feilian to the open space where the fireworks were played.
At this time, Chen Qiuniang remembered that she did not bring any tinder, so how could she light the current fireworks?
The two men, Huang Tinghui and Lu Daoming, could only go back to the meeting room, take two candles and light them in the kitchen, and then walked over here.
"Husband, Qiuniang wants to watch the fireworks!" Chen Qiuniang said to Lu Daoming.
Although it is true that Lu Daoming is a straight man, he has nothing to say to his wife.
Although he was a little scared, Lu Daoming still used Huang Tinghui to block the breeze blowing in the open space.
He held the candle with trembling hands and lit the fuse of the fireworks.
The fuse of the fireworks was quite long. After lighting the fireworks, Lu Daoming and Huang Tinghui quickly stepped aside.
They stood aside with Wu Feilian and Chen Qiuniang, waiting for the fireworks to rise and bloom.
"call out……"
As the sharp sound rang out, beautiful and bright fireworks shot into the sky.
The whole sky was lit up.
