Chapter 306 Winning the lottery?
Since the young man wanted to see it, Ling Chuan had no choice but to go with him, and then followed his pace and walked towards the destination step by step.
When they got there, they found that it was already full of people. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a sea of people. Xia Mo was amazed.
This scene is much more grand than what is shown in the TV drama. It seems that this Huang family brother is very popular.
But with so many people around, will there really not be a stampede when they rush to grab the hydrangeas?
Thinking of this question, Xia Mo, who was standing outside the edge, felt that their position was very good as they could watch the show from a distance.
As there were too many people standing in the front, Xia Mo, a short guy who could only see heads, was too tired to complain, so he raised his eyes to look up at the attic decorated with lights.
There was no one there except four servants and two maids. They were probably waiting for the time.
Xia Mo looked for a while, then turned around and saw his brother Chuan with an indifferent expression.
Is it really that boring? Xia Mo thought about it and thought he could find a topic to talk about.
But the scene was too noisy, and Xia Mo was afraid that his brother Chuan couldn't hear him, so he deliberately said loudly: "Brother Chuan, you said whoever the embroidery ball lands on will get married, but what if it lands on a child or an old man?"
"Children should not count, as for the rest, it's hard to say." Ling Chuan replied.
Xia Mo said "Ah", as if he understood.
"In that case, what's the point of throwing the hydrangea?" Wouldn't it be better to just get married?
Xia Mo knew that he had little experience, so he could not understand the significance of such a decision that would determine his entire life.
Ling Chuan shrugged slightly, "I don't know."
Xia Mo stopped asking. He felt that even if he asked Brother Chuan, he would not know the answer. So he looked around and saw a small noodle stall not far away, so he tugged at the corner of the man's clothes.
"?" Ling Chuan lowered his head.
"Let's go sit over there and watch." Xia Mo pointed to the chairs and stools on the small noodle stall. He couldn't see anything here even if he stretched his neck until it was tired.
"Okay." Ling Chuan agreed immediately. He didn't want the young man to stand here in the first place. If people started to cause chaos, it would be easy for him to get hurt accidentally.
So they walked over, sat down at the small noodle stall and ordered some food.
Although they couldn't eat any more, they couldn't just sit at someone else's table for free and affect their business.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in fine clothes and wearing many jewels walked out from the attic fence.
With his appearance, the atmosphere at the scene instantly became hot and the crowd was bustling.
Xia Mo looked at him and guessed without much thought that the middle-aged man was the organizer, Mr. Huang.
"Thank you all for coming. Today is my son's big day. We have prepared a banquet. Once this hydrangea has an owner, if you don't mind, you can come to my house for the banquet."
"Mr. Huang! Has the auspicious time arrived? I have admired Lian'er for a long time! I've been waiting for this moment!" someone shouted at the top of his voice.
Some people also laughed along, "Hahaha! That's right! I can't wait!"
"You speak so vulgarly..."
Of course, there are also literati and scholars among them.
As soon as Mr. Huang said this, the crowd below was in an uproar. Xia Mo could feel their high morale even from a distance.
"Boom boom boom——"
First there was the sound of deafening drums, then the gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, and the lion dance.
All of this indicates that the time is approaching.
The people below were extremely excited. They stared at the attic with their eyes shining and rubbed their hands together, waiting for that guy to appear, show their skills and win the hydrangea.
"How interesting." Xia Mo said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, the long-awaited protagonist finally appeared.
Xia Mo looked at the attic and nudged Ling Chuan, "Look, look, it's coming out!"
Ling Chuan glanced over coldly and saw a boy with his face covered with a veil holding a hydrangea, looking out over the fence. He only took a quick look and then looked away.
"Oh, what a pity that we can't see his face." Xia Mo stared at the Huang family boy and said regretfully, but judging from his figure, he is a petite and delicate girl.
Ling Chuan glanced at the little brother calmly, "Not as good-looking as you."
"Puchi." Xia Mo was amused by him and turned his head to look at him, "Did you see clearly? What does he look like?"
"No." Even if he couldn't see clearly, he was not as good-looking as his little brother, Ling Chuan thought.
No one doesn't like to be praised, Xia Mo is no exception, especially by his lover.
Although he felt that most of the evaluation of men could be attributed to the fact that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, he was very happy.
While they were talking, Huang's brother had already thrown the bouquet, causing the people at the bottom to scramble for it.
"Ah! My hydrangea!"
"Get lost! This is mine..."
"It's my..."
Everyone was trying to grab the hydrangea, and it rolled all over the crowd, but no one succeeded in getting it.
Xia Mo was infected by the atmosphere and was very happy. Especially when he saw a person's clothes were torn, he just laughed: "Puchichi... They don't look good."
At this moment, someone clapped his hands, and the hydrangea flew straight towards Xia Mo.
Seeing that the hydrangea was about to hit the boy, Ling Chuan's eyes turned cold and he raised his hand to slap the hydrangea away.
Plop—the hydrangea fell to the ground, rolled a few times on the ground, and finally stopped not far behind Xia Mo.
Everyone was overjoyed when they saw this and rushed over.
The young man of the Huang family in the attic glanced over here, then lowered his head and said something to Mr. Huang.
Mr. Huang looked over and after seeing Xia Mo's handsome appearance, he immediately nodded with satisfaction.
So when a bunch of people ran over to grab the hydrangea on the ground, he waved his hand, pointed at Xia Mo and announced loudly:
"Everyone, the result has come out. It is a match made in heaven. From now on, this young man in blue will be the son-in-law of my Huang family!"
After saying that, he turned around and ordered the servants, "Go and bring the son-in-law into the house quickly, take him to change his clothes, and don't miss the auspicious time."
"Yes, sir." The servant obeyed the order and went down.
And the people who had just gathered at the bottom wailed and lamented after Mr. Huang announced the result, staring at Xia Mo in dissatisfaction.
If they had known earlier, they would have sat here too. What a great bargain!
What they don’t know is that Xia Mo doesn’t want this bargain at all, it’s too hot!
He knew without even looking that his brother Chuan's face was probably completely black.
"Ahaha...Brother Chuan, the fun is over, let's go quickly."
Knowing that it was not advisable to stay here for long, Xia Mo did not bother to comfort the man. She pretended that she knew nothing and tried to run away by pulling him.
