Chapter 114: Five Lanterns
"Madam, young master and miss, the two princes, Master Luo, and Miss Luo are back. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Come in, please. ”
Han Zhen got up, the prince was a royal person, and he wanted to go out to greet him.
"Mrs. Dong. ”
"Auntie. ”
The group walked in, and inside the top floor was an extremely spacious place, with no walls, and the place to eat and rest was simply separated by a screen.
When there were many people coming, they brought a few screens from the side to divide the place.
Dong Chengshuo and He Shenyi got up to greet the two princes, He Shenyi saw Dong Chengshuo, and sent people to find several of his nephews and sons.
Unlike Dong Chengshuo, He Shenyi himself has no sons, only concubines.
"Cousin. He Xianxi came up directly and pulled Dong Qinghe away, completely ignoring Luo Zhao next to him.
Luo Zhao chuckled, just talked to Qiu Wei and them, and went to Han Zhen to have fun.
Han Zhen would not believe the words that Luo Zhao and Dong Qinghe were familiar at first sight, her eyes swirled on her daughter and Luo Chen, she smiled, and looked at Luo Zhao's eyes with two meanings.
"Here are a few adults from the Ministry of Rites?"
"Yes, I didn't expect to be here tonight, my sister and I came here early in the morning to find my sister, what a coincidence. ”
Dong Qinghe smiled, who is the queen, she will not deny.
"Cousin, you see, the biggest one is said to have been made by the Queen Mother, and it was also rewarded by the Queen Mother. ”
He Xianxi's little face was flushed, what is the most important thing for the queen mother and the controller of the harem now must be this year's draft.
Her cousin, the daughter of the He family, was here, and the reward was sent to her sister, not deliberately to let her sister get it.
The Queen Mother is, belongs to He Xianxi.
Even if Luo Zhao got the news and came in a hurry, if he really wanted to give it to you, why didn't he send it to Luo's house not far away.
This year, the He family will definitely produce a queen, and the tide will rise, and the identity of the daughter of the He family will be greatly improved.
"What's the mystery under those lanterns?" Dong Qinghe asked the person holding her arm.
"I don't know yet, I said that I would read the emperor's decree when there were more people later. ”
"Cousin, where did you get this?"
He Xianxi pointed to the lanterns and asked, they were all good, a few people took them out just now and put them there.
As soon as these words came out, everyone else also gathered around, and Han Zhen pointed to a bunch of things next to him: "Don't really look down on a few of them, look over there, the ones sent back by Shicai are all piled up." ”
Those were all sent by the see, anyway, they were a few of them, so they were sent here directly.
Food, clothing, lanterns, and knick-knacks were piled up on the table, and boxes were stacked high on top of each other.
"I've brought a lot of snacks over there, and everyone is there, and they've eaten everything. Dong Qinghe opened his mouth and asked Zhu Yi to get something to share.
"Don't. Lin stopped and pointed to the things here: "I can't finish eating these, bring them back, and the people in your room can't come out to see the lights after working hard, and you don't comfort your work." ”
"You're going to do favors. Han Zhen smiled while holding the handkerchief in her hand.
pointed to the lotus lantern again, glanced at Qiu Wei and said, "This is Qiu Wei's." ”
"Not bad. Dong Qinghe clapped his palms together: "Niang is really smart, and her style is even more prosperous than back then." ”
Everyone laughed, this daughter praised her mother so much, did she really admire or joke.
"Now I know why I don't dare to let this girl out, this is still for me, I dare to do this, if I let it out, it will be repaid. ”
Dong Qinghe was unhappy, she was obviously praising Han Zhen.
Qiu Wei stepped forward and lifted the lotus lantern and brought it to Han Zhen and Lin, "I like this thing very much today, and the two aunts will also show it." ”
The two of them praised her again and brought the words over.
On the other side, Chu Han pulled Dong Qingguo over, lifted the lantern he sent, and handed it to Han Zhen: "Auntie, look, this is what I gave to Qingdu, and I will reward it from the queen mother in the palace today." ”
This lantern was made by the royal family and was carved with Fu Lu
Shou three stars, the meaning is very good.
"It's beautiful, it's made of this material. Han Zhen picked up the lantern and looked at it, boasted in his mouth, glanced at Dong Qingdu again, and lowered his eyes: "Qingdu doesn't know to choose a good one for the prince, although the prince has a high status, but he should be smaller, and you don't care too much." ”
"Auntie's words are out of sight, next time I don't dare to be presumptuous in the Dong Mansion, what fun is there. Chu Han knew that Han Zhen's words had a deep meaning, but he didn't know what the meaning was, and he didn't know if it was because the people of the He family always protected the Dong family.
Han Zhen chuckled: "Then thank you little prince." ”
There are also two lanterns, one is a big phoenix dance nine-day lantern, the phoenix is lifelike, one by one hovering and flying, surrounding a palace woman inside, and the other side is a hundred flowers in full bloom, one by one the flowers cover the entire lantern, and you can vaguely see the pictures inside.
Han Zhen pointed to the lantern: "This thing should be Qinghe's, that girl has planted a lot of flowers and grass." ”
"Yes. Dong Qinghe cheered, He Xianxi went directly over and took it to Han Zhen: "I still vaguely smell the fragrance of flowers." ”
The last lantern of the nine days of the phoenix dance, if you think about it, only Luo Zhao will ask for it.
Luo Zhao picked it up himself, looked at everyone and laughed: "This is what I saw in Zhegui Study today, and it was also fate, so I got it at once." ”
"It's very good-looking, Miss Luo has a unique eye. Han Zhen praised her with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Luo Zhao didn't follow: "Why is my aunt so outside, just call me Luo Zhao." ”
"Good. Han Zhen nodded.
At this time, the voice of the Ministry of Rites official came from outside.
Everyone stopped talking, quietly waiting for the next person to report the news, after all, the people below represent the emperor, and they can't open the window, so it's not just standing above the emperor's order in front of everyone's eyes.
Dong Qinghe heard it clearly, but he couldn't say it, ordinary women couldn't hear it, and what he could hear was all profound internal skills.
The people outside came in and saluted: "Madam, the lantern below, the book-shaped dignitaries made a policy against the rebellion in Nanyang County that year; the yellow lantern asked to write a poem in praise of our soldiers; the peony lantern asked someone to play the peony Yugui song on the spot; and there is also a complex hand-woven bamboo lantern, when the craftsman takes a look at it and makes it up on the spot, he will take both of them." ”
"What about the lantern that the Queen Mother gave you?"
"The lantern given by the Queen Mother said that someone should be able to cooperate to make a dragon and phoenix tune. ”
The dragon and phoenix tune, this is something that has been lost for a long time, this is an incomplete tune, which is mixed by men and women.
It depends on cooperation and inspiration, and it must be smart, and both people are smart to cooperate.
The creation of the dragon and phoenix tune is a couple in the previous dynasty, a talented man and a talented woman, a moment of inspiration to create such a tune, and then many times to complete it, found that no matter how to complete, according to the above is not good.
This is not a score, it is a rhyme, and to this day, many couples have shown it, some are playing the piano and blowing the flute, some are dancing and beating, some are even looking at and beating, and some are painting and chanting.
This is passed down by word of mouth, rarely in writing, and almost always in high society.
Throughout the ages, anyone who can cooperate is either a husband and wife or a husband and wife in the future.
"Sister Xianshu, that peony lantern is good. Dong Qinghe turned her head and looked at He Xianshu, she should like it.
"Yes, it's beautiful. He Xianshu nodded, she liked the peony lantern.
"Second aunt, then I'll go out. ”
He Xianshu looked at the Lin family, she really wanted the peony lantern, in addition to being good-looking, it also had other meanings.
The peony flower is the king of flowers, and she is the only one who can be crowned with flowers in the future.
"Wait, I'll go too. He Xianxi spoke, she also wanted to go, it was very lively below.
Over there, Dong Chengshuo frowned, looked at the two princes, and said, a lantern festival, and actually wanted to make a decision.
Chu Lin pretended not to see it, and Chu Han obediently appeared next to Dong Qingdu and said something to him.
With a flick of his robe, Dong Chengshuo spoke: "Let's go down and have a look, it's nothing, it's all the people." ”
This is Mochizuki Restaurant, don't let anything happen, it has nothing to do with the Dong family, and he also wants to know who can write a strategy that satisfies the people of the Ministry of Rites.
"Good. ”
He Shenyi agreed, he also wanted to see who could write a good strategy.
The others exchanged glances, had no opinions, and all went down to the first floor.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites were already there, and when they saw the two princes, they hurriedly saluted, and greeted each other with He Shenyi and Dong Chengshuo.
The large group of female dependents who followed behind were just hugging their fists, and they were still on official business, so they should not be delayed.
There were originally a lot of people from big families who booked a box in this Mochizuki restaurant, and they vacated the room next to the window when the people from the Ministry of Rites came, and everyone else said that they would not open the window.
"Whose house is that?"
Among the people surrounding outside, some people asked, there were quite a lot of people, and they were all well dressed.
"You're not a native of Taijing, are you? ”
"Hmm. The questioner nodded, "Yes, I'm here to see the Lantern Festival." ”
"No wonder, the one wearing the dark robe is Master Dong. ”
"Which Master Dong, Master Dong of the Dong family?"
"You say, hey, I said why do you even have to ask this, it can't be from another country. As he spoke, he didn't forget to look this person up and down.
In fact, he is just a person who works in a paper-cutting shop, and he is on vacation today, so he came out to take a look, but once he saw Dong Chengshuo in Dong Jiashan Hall.
Seeing that there were more people below, and many people in the box came down, Dong Qinghe pulled Han Zhen's sleeve, "Let's go to the second floor." ”
"Good. "Women are all delicate, and Han Zhen doesn't want anything to happen to these girls.
Han Zhen wants to go up, it stands to reason that Dong Qingdu is also going up, Chu Han follows him, and Luo Chen naturally wants to go up to accompany Luo Zhao.
Chu Lin was alone, fortunately, at this time, the people of the He family came, and the three brothers He Juefeng, He Xingfeng, He Manfeng, and He Mingfeng in the second room of the He family all came back.
He Xianshu said something to He Shenyi, He Shenyi muttered a few words to the official of the Ministry of Rites, and immediately someone invited He Xianshu to the place where he painted, and He Xianxi also followed.
As a result, Luo Zhao pulled Dong Qinghe's sleeve, and the two walked a few steps to the side, Han Zhendang didn't see it, and the others didn't see it since a few times, but He Xingfeng glanced at her and smiled.
Luo Chen and Zhu Yi also stayed, after all, one is the younger sister and the other is the master.
"On the second floor of the teahouse opposite, my aunt and their house have booked a private room today, or we will go over. ”
This seems to be a bit bad, Dong Qinghe shook his head.
At this time, a little servant stepped forward and came up to please Dong Qinghe, "Miss is looking for a hidden place where you can see here." ”
Good boy, Dong Qinghe smiled: "Yes, there is such a place in the store." ”
"Yes, of course. This little guy got a response, and he was even more attentive, this is the eldest lady of the Dong family, who actually talked to him.
"We happen to have such a small room in our restaurant, which was originally intended for those who have a bad eye for playing musical instruments, so that the people waiting next to them can also see clearly. ”
It is already common to listen to tunes when eating, but when eating, it is important to pay attention to nature, and naturally they cannot bring a blind man to others, so they take those blind people who play tunes to a small room, and the room is surrounded by windows, which is dark from the outside, but clear from the inside and outside.
"Lead the way. ”
Dong Qinghe urged, she wanted to go and see.
The four of them were taken around from outside the lobby to where he was.
Pushing open the door, there is indeed a hole inside, a small room, with a large window opposite, from which you can see clearly.
Dong Qinghe was very satisfied, took out a small piece of silver from his waist, and threw it to him, "I've rewarded you." ”
"Thank you for the tip. Holding the silver, the little guy smiled like a spring flower.
Luo Chen waved away the little maid of the Luo family and stood at the door, Dong Qinghe and Luo Zhao brought their respective maids to sit inside, looking outside.
Luo Zhao saw He Xianshu debugging the musical instrument, his eyes turned, and he saw that there were also musical instruments in the room, and instructed the maid beside him: "Prepare, I will also play the peony." ”
How can you let He Xianshu be beautiful in the front.
"Yes. ”
Luo Zhao smiled apologetically at Dong Qinghe, explained a few more words, and was about to go out to try this piano in the courtyard behind.
When their master and servant went out, Luo Chen didn't follow, and walked over directly, Zhu Yi stepped forward to stop him, Dong Qinghe shook his head, and motioned for Zhu Yi to go out first.
With his eyes wide open, Zhu Yi still obediently went out.
"If you have something you like, I'll get it for you. ”
"Then there is no need, in fact, I want the lantern just for the wood, it is a rare medicinal material, but the owner does not know the goods, where do you really like the lantern. ”
Dong Qinghe shook her head and refused, she really didn't have much interest.
One is bamboo weaving, one is playing the piano, and the other is strategy. One is poetry.
These four are already being prepared, and Dong Qinghe saw that many people who looked like people were eager to try, planning to show their talents.
