Fanwai 1 Chinese New Year's Eve
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the plum blossoms in the mirror spring garden are vibrant, pure white is better than snow, pale pink like butterflies, swaying in the breeze. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe palace of the Marquis of Chunglie is lit up, and the brightly lit main hall is submerged in a sea of red lanterns. A cold wind, mixed with the fragrance of plum blossoms, swept up the bead curtain of the main hall, revealing a smiling face.
This face is childish, the eyebrows are appropriate, the eyes are crystal clear, smart and cunning, the small nose, the corners of the lips are hooked intentionally or unintentionally, and the smile is beautiful. Her long black hair was combed back in a playful braid, hanging between her flaming red dress. She looked only six or seven years old, but she looked bright and moving.
"Ge'er, you don't keep looking at my jade pendant, it's not a rare thing." Liu Yuzhang sat beside her, holding a jade hanging from his waist with a nervous face, but Zige was unmoved, still looking at him pitifully.
"You're not rare, why don't you just give it to Ge'er?" Lu Junyi just entered the door, patted Liu Yuzhang lightly behind his back, and sat down in the banquet with a smile.
"Yuzhang ......" Zige's steamed bun face with baby fat slowly approached Liu Yuzhang, and his voice was extremely flattering.
Liu Yuzhang was so worn by her that he couldn't do anything, and while untying the jade pendant from his waist, he muttered and complained: "I really can't help you...... This was given by the Queen Mother when she entered the palace a few days ago to bow down......."
Zige got what he wanted, holding the jade pendant and smiling. "Yuzhang is the best!"
When Lu Junyi heard this, he also poked his head over to join in the fun: "How is Yuzhang?" I brought you a chilled lychee from Luzhou Kuaima today, isn't it as good as a piece of jade pendant? ”
He pointed to a plate of round and white fresh fruits that had just been placed on the table, and Chong Zige squeezed his eyes.
"Junyi...... Duck...... Monkey ......" Zige stuffed several lychees into his mouth, and his mouth was full of sweet juice for a while, and his speech was slurred.
"Today is a family banquet, everyone should not be restrained, just feel free."
Yang Yuxuan was rarely dressed in a military uniform, his dark blue clothes were more and more lined with his sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he raised a glass with one hand, but the other hand was placed on the table, secretly holding Lin Lan's slender hand. Lin Lan smiled beside him, and Xia Fei had her cheeks.
"It's rare to be able to celebrate the New Year in Jiangdu this year, and the soldiers have all received Brother Xuan's silver reward, and they all went home happily." Liu Bingyun said with a smile, uncovered the lid of the casserole, and suddenly a burst of fragrance hit his face, and when he sniffed it carefully, it was the smell of lotus leaves, "I'm used to following Brother Xuan for the New Year, not to mention that my sister-in-law is cooking by herself today, how can I miss it......"
The emerald green noodle soup is floating with pink lotus flowers, and the tips of tender bamboo shoots are faintly floating around, lined with dozens of bright red cherries, and the color is bright and lovely. Looking at the dishes again, the celadon plates were filled with strips of meat of different shades, which were deliberately arranged in clusters, glowing with a cool light like falling flowers. Looking at another plate, there are many milky white balls, surrounded by beige osmanthus flowers, which are sweet and fragrant, refreshing. There are also several delicate pastries, which are arranged in various patterns with auspicious meanings on porcelain plates.
"Bingyun has long been talking about this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, saying that my sister-in-law's skills are excellent, let me learn more." Liu Bingyun's wife, Lu Yao, teased, and everyone laughed at the banquet for a while.
"Holy Heaven--Food-to--"
While talking and laughing, a long announcement came from outside the door, and Yang Yuxuan and Lin Lan got up to greet them. Cen Gonggong stood in the courtyard and beckoned several attendants to carry silver plates into the hall.
"Master Hou, this year His Majesty has given three dishes, namely the Golden Wind and Jade Dew Meeting, the Phoenix Exhibition Hall and the Zhongshan Longpan."
Father-in-law Cen's always stiff smile also had a faint hint of joy. Yang Yuxuan accepted the dish, and seeing that he still hadn't moved, he looked at Zige with a smile on the corner of his lips.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has repeatedly instructed me to bring this gadget to Miss."
He took out a red cloth bag from his bosom and respectfully handed it to Zige. Zige opened it in front of everyone, and lying in the palm of her hand was a lifelike statue of a golden monkey.
"Thank you, Grandpa Cen!" Zige was so happy for a moment that he jumped forward and gave Father-in-law Cen a small hug. Father-in-law Cen stiffened all over, and he was a little overwhelmed.
"Miss...... You're welcome. He lowered his head and bowed to Zige, "But what do you need to ask me to convey to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" ”
She approached Father-in-law Cen and whispered in his ear: "Tell Brother Zhen that Zige thinks Brother Zhen is the best." ”
Suddenly there were two deliberate coughs behind him, Zige turned his head with a smile, it was Liu Yuzhang and Lu Junyi.
"We hear you......" they said in unison.
"Hey...... You're also very good......" Zige was about to gag and muddle, but a few deafening pops sounded overhead.
"It's fireworks!"
Several people raised their heads in unison, but saw a few gorgeous and dazzling colorful clouds blooming in the sky above the Hou Mansion, one after another, like catkins flying white on the ground, and like peach blossoms falling full of red, and a few were actually colorful. Zige turned his head and saw that under the fireworks in the sky, Yang Yuxuan was holding Lin Lan, whispering and muttering, with a happy face, and the rest of the guests were also in the courtyard, standing or sitting, and the corners of everyone's mouths bloomed with intoxicated smiles.
"Ge'er...... Song ......"
Zige looked up suddenly, and Mu Lixuan was sitting beside her, looking at her with a funny expression. He wore a dark blue coat today, and wore a scarlet hair with his long hair tied at the back of his head, and he looked extremely handsome.
"Why did you fall asleep when you were guarding the year? ......He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and pointed out the door, "I turned off some fireworks, and Jun Jun is taking her female dependents outside the door." ”
"Fireworks?" Zi Ge stood up and walked out, Mu Lixuan shook his head, got up and followed her.
The front yard of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion has never been so lively. The Mu family slaves poked their heads out of the house and stood in the porch to watch, looking for a fresh picture. Lian'er and Hongshang were hiding behind a clump of plums with their ears covered, while Mu Lijun was holding Xiaotong's hand, and a candle was burning in her trembling palm.
"Your Highness...... I'm scared ......" Xiao Tong raised his head and stared at Mu Lijun with shame and joy.
"It's okay, I'll stay with you." Mu Li smiled and brought the candle closer to the fuse.
"Bump! Touch! Touch! ”
The fireworks exploded overhead, and for a moment they were full of brilliance, like thousands of stars falling into the dust. Red as blood, pink as the glow, purple and red, fleeting, like a flash in the pan, but beautiful.
Zige turned around, and Mu Lixuan was leaning against the door, looking at her with a smile.
"What did you dream about, and it's worth saying how good you are?" Mu Lixuan's face was illuminated by colorful fireworks, and her expression was soft, but it warmed her heart.
Zige slowly approached her ear and exhaled like an orchid: "In my dream...... Your gift...... Most ......"
At this moment, she suddenly opened her mouth and yawned loudly, so the second half of the sentence became: "The most ...... Monkey. ”
When Mu Lixuan heard this, he pursed his lips and smiled, and whispered in her ear, "Happy New Year, Monkey Girl." ”
A plum blossom drifting from nowhere fell on the side of the skirt, quietly, carved an eternal mark.
[The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain. Good days, I wish you all the best with your relatives and friends. On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiaodi wishes everyone a happy new year and all the best in the Year of the Monkey! 】
