On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the imperial city will pick up the first lantern of Guotai Min'an on Suzaku Street, the Empress Xià is different from the first emperor, the first emperor likes pomp, likes luxury, every year's lantern is a pearl inlaid treasure, extremely luxurious, to the Empress Xià here, the style immediately changed, the atmosphere is simple, the four words of Guotai Min'an are just gold leaf, and there is not even a pearl as big as a grain of rice on it.

The line of relatives and close ministers, are all listening to the string song and know the elegance, I knew that the empress was not a luxury person when she was a princess, and now the family has prepared two lanterns, and as soon as the palace lantern over there is hung out, the servants here immediately ran away and sent a letter to the master of the house as if they broke their legs.

Mrs. Hou also got the news, and a small smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, she had long been unaccustomed to the poverty and luxury of the first emperor Zhongzong, but the style of Her Majesty the Empress Xià won her heart, the lantern prepared by the Hou Mansion this year did not have those cumbersome things, a simple lantern with abundant grains, which meant good and simple and generous.

Mrs. Hou saw Shao Yunhua looking outside, and finally decided to take her out for a walk this year, sighing in her heart, the filial piety of her father's funeral in the first three years, although she didn't need to mourn for her mother for three years later, she didn't go out to play.

Shao Yunhua was very excited, she only went out of the mansion twice when she was so big, once she went to the Shouguo Mansion and saw the homeless people, and once when the eldest princess Depei gave birth to a child, she didn't remember anything at that time. It's also that she has few relatives, her grandmother has no relatives, her family is far away in Fuzhou, the mountains and rivers are far away, and the rest of her relatives are not rightly named, so she will go less.

Wearing vegetarian since childhood, Shao Yunhua likes plain clothes, not too cold for the red goose yellow, but more like sky blue, clear water, lotus color, today on the fifteenth day of the first month, she chose a small aqua blue jacket skirt, the neck disgusted with the beads to play martial arts was thrown down by her, now refreshing, combed with a hundred flowers in a small bun, the red ribbon is only decorated with a few pearls the size of a grain of rice, very spiritual.

When I went out, I took a carriage, but the more I got to Suzaku Street, there were more people, and I couldn't see anything in the carriage, so the grandparents and grandchildren got out of the carriage, and there were immediately male servants around them to open the road, surrounding the maids, and the middle of the maids was the grandparents and grandchildren, the old and the small, and they came out to see the lanterns.

The people have the way of life of the people, and when they see these servants and many nobles, they honestly avoid them, and do not dare to exceed them in the slightest.

Shao Yunhua's eyes are almost insufficient, the beauty lamp, the horse lamp, the lotus lamp, the peony lamp...... All kinds of lights are absolutely dazzling, especially the peony lamp, with a pile of peony flowers in the yarn, there are small candles lit inside, the candle light is not big, and the yarn cannot be burned, but it makes the flowers dazzling and shining, with the green leaves piled up by the blue yarn next to it, which attracts the attention of many people.

"Grandmother, that lamp is so beautiful." Shao Yunhua was in the arms of the coral, stretching her neck to look strange, and she couldn't care about her own insistence at this time, she was too young for anyone to hold it.

"Hmm. It's ingenious. Mrs. Hou nodded.

"Huh? There's a dragon over there. "I've seen enough peonies, and I've seen the big dragon again, and the colorful phoenix, there is no novelty, but for Shao Yunhua, who has never seen it, these lanterns are enough to attract all her attention.

The servants were still in front of them, and they were all dodging, but there was a little doll who was just over a year old standing there, holding a piece of osmanthus candy in her hand, motionless, and the servants had already shouted several times to ask whose child it was, but unfortunately no one answered.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Hou heard the voice and asked directly.

"Madam, there is a little lady in front, blocking the way, I don't know whose family, I'm asking."

"Just get around." Since her parents are not there, it is enough to bypass them, and Mrs. Hou will never do anything to bully others.

"Yes." The servant who had wanted to carry the child over instantly extinguished his thoughts.

The group spared, Shao Yunhua was in the arms of the coral, and also saw the little lady, when the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was still cold, she only wore a cotton coat with patches stacked on it, and only a piece of osmanthus candy in her hand, and the excitement next to her seemed to completely exclude her.

"Grandmother, what about her parents?" Shao Yunhua looked at Mrs. Hou.

Mrs. Hou's heart sank, and when she saw the little lady's clothes, she remembered that when she was a child, she was also abandoned, but she was abandoned just after she was born: "Maybe she was abandoned." ”

"Abandonment? Why abandonment? The girl's voice was a little treacherous, which showed that Shao Yunhua was really surprised.

"You see her clothes, they are very torn, and there should be no money at home, so they are abandoned."

"Can we raise her, then?"

"This ......" Mrs. Hou hesitated a little, this little lady should be a good citizen, with a good position, it is illegal in the Qin Dynasty, look at the expectant eyes of her granddaughter, and nodded: "Wait for a while, if you are sure that it is abandoned, you will bring it back to the mansion." ”

"Okay." Shao Yunhua nodded obediently.

Mrs. Hou left a maidservant to observe and take care of her secretly, so as not to let people bump into anything.

Shao Yunhua had something in his heart, and his thoughts about looking at the lights went out a lot in an instant, but he turned back frequently. Mrs. Hou was just pacing slowly to accompany Shao Yunhua.

After a while, Shao Yunhua began to turn around, and saw that the little girl's face was blue, and she was still pinching the osmanthus candy there, after thinking about it, she still got off the ground and walked over by herself: "Where is your adult?" ”

The little girl looked up at Shao Yunhua with a puzzled face.

"Are you going to come with me?" Shao Yunhua looked at the girl's appearance and was very distressed.

"I, I, I'm waiting for my mother." The little girl said in a trembling voice.

"Your mother is not coming."

"I'll wait for my mother's ......" The girl pinched the osmanthus candy and kept repeating this sentence.

Mrs. Hou was a little angry, it is not uncommon to throw a girl, but this is a bit too much, throw it is thrown away, why do you still lie, that piece of osmanthus candy must be something to coax the child, and if it is abandoned, it is just a piece of osmanthus candy.

"Your mother is not coming." Mrs. Hou said word by word.

The little girl's tears began to fall, but she didn't cry, she lowered her head and cowered, the anger in Mrs. Hou's heart was even stronger, this must be a habit that has been cultivated for a long time, a child, he didn't dare to cry, it can be seen what kind of life he had before.

"Come with me." Shao Yunhua said again.

"I, I, I'm waiting for my mother's ......"

"Your mother asked you to go with us, there is food, and osmanthus candy." Coral is also in tears, she was sold when she was five years old when she was a child, because she added a younger brother to the family, and she was affected by the disaster that year, so she and her sister were sold, and she still doesn't know if her sister is dead or alive.

"Mother said? Got osmanthus candy? "The little doll who is more than a year old can barely understand the words.

"Well, go with my sister, there is osmanthus candy."

"Okay."

There was another maid beside her holding the little girl.

Coral held Shao Yunhua in his arms again and got into the carriage, Shao Yunhua's feelings were very low: "Grandmother, I feel uncomfortable. ”

Mrs. Hou took Shao Yunhua into her arms and said, "Grandmother knows, grandmother is not feeling well, but we can't help it." ”

"Why?" Shao Yunhua looked up at Mrs. Hou with a small face: "Didn't we help her today?" I can help others in the future. ”

"Hmm." Mrs. Hou nodded, but her eyes were empty: "You and I can only help one person, only the Supreme ......" Thinking that the Supreme is a maid now, Mrs. Hou is even more silent, and the princess has been immersed after ascending the throne, although the style of frugality is good, but this Qin Dynasty has all kinds of loopholes after passing through Zhongzong, but if it goes on like this, it is only temporarily prosperous.

Seeing that her grandmother was not talking, Shao Yunhua also lowered her head, thinking about her own carefulness.

The little girl just entered the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, I don't know what her name is, Shao Yunhua named her Tangtang, hoping that she will be sweet all her life.

Dexi Hall opened the lobby rarely, Zhongyi Hou's face was gloomy, and Mrs. Hou sat down, drinking tea and not speaking.

Jian Shi stood beside Shao Shilang Jun with his head in tears, without saying a word, Su Shi trembled his lips and didn't know what to do, looking at Jian Shi with eyes like knives, if he used to see how this daughter-in-law liked it, now he wants to kill the other party. This mourning star, his son's future is ruined, and he may have to drag down the whole family.

Zhongyi Hou glanced at Mrs. Hou, and Mrs. Hou bowed slightly. Zhongyi Hou is a square person, Mrs. Hou is strong, the two of them are tough, so the relationship is absolutely average, but Qin Se and Ming can't do it, but it's no problem to respect each other, Mrs. Hou naturally understands the meaning of Zhongyi Hou, looks at Jane's eyes, and asks: "Can you communicate with the Jian family?" ”

"Ahh Jane's picked up her clothes and fell to her knees with a pop, crying silently: "The daughter-in-law married into the Shao family, naturally born as the Shao family, and died as the ghost of the Shao family, but the grace of the parents can not be forgotten. Jane's face was full of trepidation.

Mrs. Hou nodded: "It's normal to have a New Year's gift, what did you write in the letter?" There can be bastard talk. ”

"The daughter-in-law swears to the sky, absolutely not, the daughter-in-law is just a courtesy greeting to the body of the whole family, telling the interesting story of San Lang, and nothing else." Jane's is really hard to death, her maiden family is a Shanghainese family, not a top family, but it is also a mainstay in the second rate. A good family, but was forced to rebel by Her Majesty the Empress.

Her Majesty the Empress not only selects talents from the people to squeeze the living space of the family, but also the means of punishing corruption are simply ancient and modern, not only the corrupt people are unlucky, nor are they just raiding the family, TMD has to repay the debts, your family has squandered the corrupt money, okay, pay off the debts, one person is corrupt, the whole family pays off the debts, which family is clean? In this case, isn't it clear that you want to clean up the family? Therefore, the three families in Shanghai rebelled.

One of the three families is the Jian family, and when the news came, the loyal and righteous marquis was in a hurry, and it was always bad to have something to do with the rebellion, and I was afraid that his son's future would also be ruined.

"Since you said no, I will believe you, go down first."

"Yes." Jane got up with her head down, her legs were weak when she got up, and if it wasn't for the maid next to her to help her, she was afraid that she would fall down.

"Go down all of you." The Marquis of Zhongyi also spoke, and the two concubines and the three sons had no choice but to give a salute, and the Su family opened his mouth, but he didn't dare to speak, and gave the two sons a look.
