101. Lantern Festival
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Yilan also knew that she had said the wrong thing, and covered her face with her hands with a smile. "I don't mean that, there is no class, I don't care who uses these handouts, not to mention your sons, the soldiers on the front line, you can also go and give lectures to them if you have the opportunity. The main thing is that you want to make sure that the lecturer has completely figured it out. This is not the Four Books and Five Classics, you can interpret it as you wish, as long as you can justify it. Arithmetic is a very serious study, one is one, two is two, there must be wrong and right, I don't want to be contaminated with the bad habits of the literati, and always take the mean. ”
"Okay, I see what you mean." Shadow Chaser nodded in agreement.
Yilan wanted to tease the wind, asked how many wives and children there were, but when she opened her mouth and saw her father sitting, she could only hold it back, thinking about it funny, but she choked on the soup and felt rude when she wanted to cough, so she couldn't hold her back and go away.
Or Hua Wushan saw the problem, hugged Yilan distressedly and rubbed and patted, and said embarrassedly, "Old Du, look." Alas, Yilan is really not so rude in ordinary times, don't blame it. ”
"What to blame, I think Yilan is a good boy, and he has a sense of proportion in his unique opinions, which is better than these two boys." General Du couldn't hide his admiration for Yilan, "The little girl is trying to ask how many wives does Zhufeng have, right?" If you want to ask, say it, I've heard it all. "Gu Guogong is very easy-going, there is no arrogance at all," the old man looked strictly, his wife was not as much as the sixth master, only one wife, five concubines, and a few girls who had a room, but the son was no less than the sixth master, and my eldest grandson should be married in two years, and he must invite the girl to have a cup of wine together. Oh, by the way, the kid chasing the shadow is more, don't look at the work is very steady, but in the matter of begging for a wife, he has learned enough about the sixth master, and there are many people at home who can't let go, and I can't figure out how many old men there are, you ask him yourself. ”
The three men were stupid on the spot, eager to find a crack in the ground and drill into it.
Especially chasing the shadow, that face can be said to be weird Eighteen painters don't like it, only Yilan is left smiling happily.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival is always very lively, and the city is lit up with lights, regardless of the common people and nobles, men, women and children, they will go to the street to see the lanterns. After the Lantern Festival, this year is over, and people always want to catch this cheerful tail without regrets.
In order to be with the people and have fun with the people, the royal family will also appear at the scene of the city's lantern festival on this day, and if you are lucky, you can also see the emperor's style.
The ladies of the royal palace are relatively free during the New Year's Festival, and can go out to visit friends and families. After today, they will return to their usual monotonous life, so they all call friends and watch the lights together in the morning.
But all this has nothing to do with Yilan, she is still grounded, so after breakfast, she hides in the study and hunkers all day. It's already two o'clock, and it can be seen that Hua Wulin still has no intention of leaving, but stares at herself with interest.
"Sixth master, today's Lantern Festival, you don't want to accompany the emperor to watch the lanterns, why don't you leave?" Ylang is strange.
Walked over and hugged her shoulder, took off his chin and rubbed it lightly on the top of his head, "Fool, it's very lively outside tonight, you really don't want to go and see it?" ”
Looking up into his eyes, "Really?" ”
"Father was afraid that you would be able to do it and not have a good rest before he ordered the grounding, he missed you very much, and even went to listen to the lesson of chasing shadows, go, take you to see your father." Hua Wushan said softly.
"Really?" Ylang was so happy.
It was not yet completely dark, and some of the lamps were already flickering by candlelight, and the road was even more crowded, and even the carriage was not very easy to walk.
There is a row of colored buildings built not far from the city tower, all of which are built by the princes and nobles for the convenience of the family members in the house to watch the lanterns, one of them is particularly tall and magnificent, beautifully decorated, and you can know at a glance that it is from the royal handwriting.
A row of windows facing the street on the second floor of the color building are all freshly pasted transparent window paper, and some of them are simply open, so that everyone can watch the lights.
was held by Hua Wushan and climbed the steps, sure enough, the emperor, Concubine Shu, Concubine Liang, Min Zhaorong and other high-grade concubines, plus the seventh master, the seventh princess, the twelfth prince and the younger princess, Jing Lan, Zhiyun and so on are all sitting, and some are vaguely seen, but do not know the royal family, even Guguo Gong is among them, there are dozens of people, there are really a lot.
"Yilan to meet the emperor" walked forward with Hua Wulin and kowtowed deeply.
"Ylan is coming to me." Hua Jianrui was very happy to see Yilan arrive, and quickly called people to his side, and looked at them carefully before sighing, "You kid, you always worry about people, this time there is nothing serious, you can't do this in the future." ”
"Father, Yilan is already well, don't worry." knelt at the emperor's feet, held his knees with both hands, and said coquettishly, his heart was indescribably moved.
Hua Wulin had already greeted her brothers and sisters, and came over and knelt beside Yilan, "Father, don't blame Yilan, she already knows that she is wrong, and she is very obedient these days." "When he spoke, his face was not red, he was not panting, he was calm and composed, and he was not embarrassed at all.
"Stinky boy, it's all your fault, and you have the face to come here to say this, if you hadn't pretended to be drunk and wild, Yilan wouldn't have fainted; Let you take good care of her at home, you are good, singing every night, and I haven't seen you stop for a day. I didn't punish you severely, and I really thought I was an old fool. The emperor kicked him lightly and scolded with a smile.
"Pretending to be drunk? What pretending to be drunk? Yilan asked, stunned, and stared.
Seeing that it was exposed, Hua Wu's face also turned red, and he muttered that his father was better to his daughter-in-law than his son, and helped Yilan to sit next to him, causing everyone else to laugh.
"Yilan, you really don't know?" Hua Wuxiang exaggerated beside her, "With my sixth brother's kung fu, how can he get drunk, and he must have been intoxicated by you taking care of him that night." If you fainted, why did he cry so sadly, holding your body and refusing to let go, that is his self-blame. ”
It turned out that there was still this saying, Yilan looked at Hua Wulan, "Hua Wuxiang, if you still want to sit here and shut up." Hua Wushan was absolutely annoyed and angry, and yelled at Hua Wuxiang and almost threw him down.
Everyone laughed.
The downstairs is brightly lit and the country is prosperous, and the brothers and brothers upstairs are filial piety to the whole Chenghuan knee, and of course everyone is desperately picking up good things to say, the emperor can't close his mouth.
As he spoke, he talked about Yilan's body, and praised his beauty and dexterity. In fact, Yilan is specially from the four virtues of women's morality, women's words, women's appearance, and women's workers, she knows that she doesn't have much time to make friends with noble women, and women in this dynasty have a very high status, often have a lot of politics, and play a subtle role in court politics. But the basic etiquette is the same as what I know, so I deliberately impress people at a banquet, at least mention it later, and I can't find anything wrong.
"Today, the Duke of Guguo is also praising Yilan for being sensible in front of me, Yilan, I have already promised you the title of general robe and prince and young master, which is to allow you to discuss politics in front of the sixth child, you don't have to be so careful." The emperor summoned Yilan to his side again, and said to Yilan with a smile.
With the friendship with the wind chasing battlefield, Gu Guogong will also say good things for himself, which Yilan never doubted, and coquettishly said to the emperor, "Well, I know, but I don't want people to say that I am presumptuous." ”
"Yilan, I heard that you have excellent riding skills, and you are better than the sixth child, is it true?" The pure county lord asked Ylan.
"It's not better than him, but I do know how to ride a horse." Yilan didn't dare to hold it up, so he turned around.
"Then show us one day, there is a polo tournament in the spring, and these princes will participate, and you will come together." She invited.
"Okay, okay, as long as the sixth master agrees, I will definitely come." Polo match, so fascinating! Looking back expectantly, Hua Wushan was lonely.
"It's going to be two months before the game, you can take care of your illness, and you can go when you're well." Hua Wulin looks like a parent.
"Yilan, looking at what you did when you were in Fancheng, it doesn't look like you were so weak, but you fainted that day, which clearly showed that you were very sick, and I was stupid when I was scared when I took your pulse. My father also made a lot of fire about this, is there anything going on inside? "The seventh master is next to him, and he can see that he really cares.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Ylan refused to speak.
"Well, when I tell you about me, it's refreshing. Tell me and maybe I can help you too. The Seventh Master said sincerely.
"Can we find a time to talk about it alone?" Ylang smiled skillfully and had a flattering look.
"Good. That's it, I'll go back to you. The seventh master replied very seriously, but the provocative eyes that glanced at the sixth master betrayed his seriousness.
"No need. If you want to know about Ylan, you can come to me, I know better than anyone else. The sixth master picked up super fast, glared back hard, and did not show weakness.
Everyone knew that they were joking, so they all had a good look on their faces.
"Seventh brother, let me tell you." Seeing that the fire was about to burn, Hana Wuxiang hurriedly added firewood. Shaking his head, he began to tell the story "Anyway, Sister Yiyi has a strong temperament, and she was favored by the sixth prince of Shangguo, and she was named to be the concubine of the first few hundred rooms, and she died in grief and anger. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and his life was saved, but unfortunately he lost his memory, and the tragic fate began from there.
In a coma, he was pulled by one of the prince's envoys in a carriage, and ran for ten days in the wilderness, and finally survived to the palace, and was locked up in a cold hut, without medical treatment until the oil ran out of oil, and during this period he was humiliated by the prince of the wilderness. But she was lucky, she barely survived, alas, but unfortunately her body collapsed completely, as long as she was a little tired, she would faint, this is not the first time, that time was even more terrifying, it was a fall from a horse. Hua Wuxiang took the tone and said it very carefully.
Everyone looked at Ylang with a look of great surprise. What Hua Wulin did is not a secret, not to mention that many people here have sent women to Hua Wulone, and the old general of Guguo Gong Du is even more angry, and it is not once or twice that his son has done this lack of virtue.
