Chapter 104: Chinese New Year's Eve
"Where?"
"At the mouth of the alley of Sanhuai Hutong, I entered the second gate of the house. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What else are you listening to?"
"He said that the Imperial Doctor had arrived, and he said 'refusing to eat' or something. The little one was afraid of disturbing the prince, so he didn't dare to listen deliberately, so he just happened to hear this. ”
I remembered that King Xiao invited Deputy Envoy Sheng to Sanhuai Hutong, and the two were closed.
Then he smiled and said, "Got it." ”
Xiang Chuan bowed down and said: "Zhao Xun has orders, and the small ones must serve with all their hearts." ”
I was slightly stunned, and then said, "You've been doing a good job." ”
Chifu took him out.
I used my hand to support the god of Huizi: "Refuse to eat"? I don't know who King Xiao detained in the house in Sanhuai Hutong?
Out of Baoxia, Jinwu is westerly, the sun is already thin, and there is some cold on the body.
When he finished dinner, Zhan Lu came in.
Seeing that I had a mouthful of hot tea in my mouth, I took the gargle in the little girl's hand and held it over for me to rinse my mouth. I took the handkerchief and printed the corners of my mouth and asked her, "What's the matter? I've been busy all day, and I'm not going to eat and rest, why did I come in?"
Zhan Lu handed the ladle to the little girl, asked them all to retreat, and persuaded me in my ear: "The prince has always cherished Zhaoxun, but these days have suddenly cooled down, and the maid is really anxious about you." The prince accompanied the queen in the palace yesterday and did not return to the house, and he returned at the time of the unitary today, and he was in the big study at this time. I instructed the small kitchen to make the prince's favorite flower dumplings, Zhao Xun you see, the prince hasn't had dinner yet! Why don't you go and send it yourself?"
I was silent.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "I know you're good for me." It's just that I used to read the Tao Te Ching, which said, 'The sky is long, and the earth is long.' The reason why heaven and earth can last long is because they do not generate themselves, so they can live forever. It is not because of the selflessness and evil of the saint that he is the first and the body that exists outside the body, so it can become his selfishness. 'If I had sent food to the king at this time, and when the prince didn't want to see me, wouldn't I have fallen behind?'
Seeing that Zhan Lu was still worried, he gently patted the back of her hand and comforted: "If everything is too deliberate, it will lose its true meaning, and it will not be beautiful." I'm afraid that the prince will also dislike these in his heart. If you are worried that the prince is hungry, you can just take a trip. But where would the Qingyi Pavilion let the prince stay alone in the big study!"
Before the words fell, Ruyi came to report: "The prince has gone to the Qingyi Pavilion." ”
Although it was expected, the smile on his face still froze for a moment. Xiang Zhanlu said: "Look at what I said. Dinner is good tonight, and I see that there are a few things that you love to eat, and I have asked them to leave them for you. Go ahead. ”
Zhan Lu reluctantly retreated with Ruyi.
I watched with some amazement as the little girls came in and removed the food before entering the inner room.
The narcissus resting under the window is blooming better and better, the fragrance is elegant, and the room is full of arms.
I walked closer to see that the petals were as white as jade, and the stamens were golden.
In my mind, I remembered the nickname of King Xiao's "silver robe and golden armor".
Yesterday the prince was grounded, I don't know what he did in the palace yesterday, why did he go to Sanhuai Hutong today?
Is there a golden house where to hide Jiao?
No.
With his identity, he really wants to take a fancy to who he wants, and where he needs to be kept outside the house!
I shook my head slightly, stopping my thoughts.
The narcissus in front of him is simple and elegant, "the fragrance and the spring breeze are connected accordingly, and the gods will be clear and clear in the autumn water." Where are these disturbing troubles, I suddenly envy the simple-minded people.
For example, Qingzhuo.
Sometimes not knowing is not necessarily worse than knowing.
But how many people in this world can be as pure as water?
Zhan Lu's proposal, I am not unmoved.
It's just that I don't know how to face King Xiao's suspicion and I still have a little pride, so I don't want to go.
His eyes fell on the straw wild goose ornament next to the dressing table.
The wild goose is a loyal creature, not only benevolent, but also affectionate, the female goose and the male goose match, has always been from the beginning. Whether the female goose dies or the male goose dies, the lone goose left alone will not find another partner until he dies.
Suddenly, I felt that the ornament was a little dazzling.
Then he frowned and turned his face away from looking at it.
I don't know if I'm annoyed with myself or King Xiao.
-----------------------------------------
The second day is Chinese New Year's Eve.
The strongest meaning of the year is Chinese New Year's Eve.
Princess Yongjia's Mansion and Deputy Envoy Sheng's Mansion sent people to send New Year's gifts.
Ruyi inquired and understood: the two governments had already returned the gift to the prince of the palace according to the usual practice. This was delivered to Duofuxuan individually.
I hurriedly asked Mother Tong and Zhan Lu to take Yinghong and Qiuhe to return the gift respectively. He also sent some live animals, air-dried meat, japonica rice, and flower pots from the grange.
After lunch, the chief of the palace and the stewards began to enter the small box of Nafu into the inner courtyard.
I heard Ruyi say that Changshi went to Qingyi Pavilion and came to Duofuxuan.
It seems to be a rule-abiding - or maybe it's a matter of convenience. A lot of times, following the rules can save you a lot of trouble.
Ruyi whispered in my ear: "This Yang Changshi is known as Fengji, and he has always lived in a simple place, and people rarely see him below. ”
I looked out through the window screen, smiled and whispered, "It's not just you, I'm rare." When you are with the prince, it is also rare. ”
The long history led the steward to give a salute at the gate of the courtyard, and then led people in the direction of Baoyin Pavilion.
When Cuinong brought the box in to see, there were red dates, chestnuts, oranges, persimmons and peanuts in the box, all of which meant auspicious. Put an apple in the center of the box, and insert a "little Ruyi" with gold. Ruyi is engraved with "peace and happiness", a good omen of "peace and peace".
So he put Cuinong on the table in the hall.
After a cup of tea, the return office sent a "Joy God Direction List" again.
Ruyi unfolded the red slip and handed it to me, only to see that it was written on the first day of the first month of the third year of Daqi Jingyun, the location of the god of joy, the god of fortune, the god of Lu, the god of wealth, the god of Gui and Tai Sui.
I put the list back in the red tray and said with a smile: "You go and arrange it, Duofuxuan will naturally welcome the happy gods, and everyone will be happy again and again." ”
If I have any opinions, I will make fun of her name, and I will answer with a smile. He reminded again: "Tonight, the house will have a reunion dinner in Fuxi Hall, and I called Cuinong to dress up Zhao Xun earlier." ”
I remembered that when my father had to go to the palace to bid farewell to the emperor in his Chinese New Year's Eve, I asked, "Is there any news in the palace?"
"The steward of Jin'an let Yinghong deliver the words this morning, His Majesty was already ill in anger, and the palace avoided the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet. Even the family sacrifice ceremony of the temple was done by the prince. ”
My heart sank slightly: In the previous matter of Zhao Cairen, King Xiao must have been involved in it and had a plan, so that he could successfully take advantage of this matter to take advantage of the prince's army.
The crown prince was grounded yesterday, and Emperor Wei fell ill with it, and today King Xiao presided over the ceremony.
I am afraid that it will appear too popular in the eyes of people with a heart, and I will be suspicious of King Xiao and sympathize with the prince.
It's good to take the opportunity to remind him.
In the evening, a group of servants wore red tasseled hats and lit all kinds of lanterns in the porch, shadow wall, pink wall, verandah, etc.
The mansion is rich and bright, condensed and radiant, and the joy of the New Year is born.
