Section 286 Hibiscus weeps
Shu E never knew the road, it turned out that the road in Yujin Garden was so many and so long. Circulating the loop, often repeated, the steps wandered, and the skirt corners flew.
Shu E never knew that the palace garden on a summer night was so lively. The palace maids who take advantage of the shade, the eunuchs who hold the lamps, and the palace people who come and go to the door in the eternal night, and the concubines who go to Jingyang Hall in a sedan chair.
The flowers in front of each other are still the same as they were seen that day, and the peony trees without flowers are still verdant in the summer twilight.
In the distance, I have heard sounds that look like a zither but not a zither, and a sound that looks like a qin but not a qin.
I don't know if there is really a spirit rhino like mountains and flowing water, as soon as Shu E heard this voice, she knew that the Dao was from Lanchuan.
Shu E waited in the twilight with some anxiety, wandering, and finally, saw the blue dress, fluttering and fluttering.
The white jade-like cheeks were lined with a blue shirt, which looked a little pale. It's just that such a white skin is definitely a wonderful color today.
Some people should see this kind of dress, and some people should hide it. I think Hua Fu explained very carefully, so Yu Rong dodged and dodged all the way, fast and slow, and walked very hard.
However, there are still benefits to this hard work. Because even at such a distance, Shu'e still saw the surprise on people's faces.
Shu E followed unhurriedly, and sometimes walked in front of the figure and led her to where Shu E wanted to go.
It was already nightfall when we returned to the secluded gairn.
Lilac heard the sound of pushing the door, hurriedly greeted it, and walked into Shu E's room, Lilac quietly took Shu E's hand, and said with a smile: "At first glance, it looks a little similar." ”
Lilac looked out the window again and whispered, "It's just that if you go out like this, I can also do it for you." Why didn't you tell me beforehand? ”
"It's a big deal for you to help me find Lanchuan. Besides, wearing that outfit, no one is more suitable than Yu Rong. Shu E said with a smile as she unbuttoned her button.
"Why do you have to go with you?" Lilac hurriedly opened the wardrobe and took out a set of flowerless bedclothes with autumn fragrance pigment silk.
Shu E's hand suddenly stopped on the button and did not move, but she just tilted her head slightly and listened quietly, and after a long time, she said softly: "Kunshan jade broken phoenix called, hibiscus cried and Lu Xianglan smiled." Lan Chuan used Gong Hou to play such a tune. ”
Lilac was stunned and said, "Can you hear it so far away?" He looked out the window with a little trepidation.
"I just heard it vaguely when I came back." Shu E smiled at Lilac.
Lilac helped Shu'e take off her coat and laughed in a low voice: "I don't know if the sound is loud or not, will it make others sleep." ”
"Lanchuan will pay attention." He sighed softly: "Tonight, there will definitely be people who can't sleep." ”
Some people can't sleep, and Shu'e herself can't sleep soundly. After thinking about it, I tossed and turned, and when I fell asleep, it was already the third watch.
When she got up the next day, Shu E just quietly read and wrote in the room.
"Madam, Miss Zihao is gone." Hua Fu gently pushed the door in, walked to Shu E's side and whispered back.
"Go see her......" Shu'e raised her head, and suddenly said, "That's it, you don't have to look at it." ”
"Lilac Girl has gone with her." Waffle said.
Shu E said: "I hope she is careful not to be seen." ”
After all these times, the lilac girl's anxious temperament has been much more restrained. Madame don't have to worry. Waffle said.
Sure enough, Lilac had already returned after a short time and said, "She really went to the flower house." ”
Hua Fu sighed softly, "What does Madame think?" ”
"Since she saw it last night, it is expected that she may go to live with flowers today." Shu E said lightly, "What can it be?" ”
This shows that her relationship with the flower is anything but unusual. She's a thief! Lilac said hatefully: "She knows how much she knows about Huifeng's affairs and how much she participates, so she doesn't care about it for the time being; She didn't bring the message that Hui Feng asked her to bring to you before she died, and she didn't mention it. But her act of being a thief made her fears clear. Yang Jieyu killed Hui Feng, maybe she knew the truth, maybe she was an accomplice. Maybe she was also involved in Yang Jieyu's miscarriage. More likely, she was the one who sewed those musks into your sachets that day! ”
Shu E took a deep breath and opened her mouth to speak, but she was speechless.
After a while, Shu E said: "Even if it is, she is just a blindfolded fool." There is fear, and she is afraid, which means that she at least knows that there are words of right and wrong in the world. What really can't be forgiven is Yang Jieyu. ”
It's getting late, and twilight is falling.
Yurong changed into the blue dress again.
Fair cheeks, simple hairstyle.
He walked with a light footstep, like a light breeze.
Shu E just followed her to the left, taking in those surprised and frightened eyes.
The Zhongyuan Festival of the Great Song Dynasty lasted for seven days.
July 12, July 13, July 14, July 15, July 16, July 17, July 18, July 19.
July 15 is the first day of the Midyear Festival. On the 15th day of July, the first three days are dedicated to the newly deceased, that is, those who died within three years, and the last three days are dedicated to the old dead, which refers to those who died three years ago. Legend has it that the old and the new have to go home to see during this time, and it is said that the time for the new and old dead to come back is not the same, the new dead will return first, and the old dead will return later. Therefore, they should be sacrificed separately.
In the Great Song Dynasty, this is also a grand festival, whether rich or poor, you have to prepare wine and food, paper money to commemorate the dead, rich and noble, will put the whole pig, the whole sheep, chicken, duck, goose and all kinds of cakes, fruits, melons and fruits on the lonely platform, in order to show the nostalgia of the dead ancestors.
The living people sprinkled lime in the yard, sprinkled it in a circle, and burned paper money inside the circle. It is said that in this way, the lonely ghost will not dare to come and rob it, and at this time, as long as he reads the name of the relative to whom he wants to burn the paper money, he can come and receive the money.
When Hua Fu said this, Lilac couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that the world is the same in the north and south. Before I came to the house to work as a maid, I was fostered by my family in a village on the outskirts of the city. The people there don't dare to call it Halloween, only July and a half. Sure enough, in the middle of July, if you get up at night, you can often see adults burning paper in the courtyard. When I woke up in the morning, the ash was in the lime sprinkled circle. Later, when I came to Cao Mansion, the rules of the house were big, and people were not allowed to burn paper in the house without permission. ”
