Women in the Yan Dynasty were fifteen years old and were generally required to hold a ceremony after the engagement and before the marriage. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info According to the status of the Lu family, if she hadn't been sent to the mountain, she would have been allowed to leave the family at this age.

Mrs. Lu also seemed to be quite attentive to her, and left her to speak for a while after asking for peace in the morning.

After returning to the small courtyard, Qingjia blushed and wrapped himself in the quilt, folded his hands, and silently recited in his heart: Buddha bless, don't find me a pockmark.

So while being nervous, I was looking forward to the Shangyuan Festival.

Even after many years, Qingjia still clearly remembers the cold but bright sunlight after the first clear snow, and the few plum blossoms in the corner of the garden bloomed just right, and the red and bright ones seemed to be much more delicate than before. She was pleasantly surprised, as they were usually bare, and there was not a single leaf, and she thought they were dead.

I looked left and right to see that there was no one, and I was about to get closer to touch the delicate petals but I heard the sound of children playing, and when I turned around, I didn't see Lu Qingyuan's two brothers and sisters, but Lu Qingyu came slowly, accompanied by a young man, dressed in an azure cloud patterned robe, meticulous in description, and very similar to Lu Yi in terms of politeness.

Qingjia has never had much contact with this eldest sister, and occasionally they meet each other and leave in a hurry after greeting each other, and they are not close to each other. It was very embarrassing at the moment, hesitating whether to take the initiative to go up and say hello, or sneak away before they noticed. However, in the gap between her thoughts, Lu Qingyu had already seen her and stopped her from afar: "Sister." ”

Qingjia had no choice but to step forward, and happened to see Lu Qingyuan's brother and sister coming from the hand-copying verandah on the side, the hands of the two children were being held, and the warm sunlight was sprinkled in the exquisite layout and scattered deep courtyard garden, and the flowers and trees seemed to get some vitality and became vivid. The man walked slowly, as if he had come out of a painting, the plum blossoms in the garden should have been proudly standing on the branches, but at this moment they were all reduced to a background coloring that was not thick or light.

Plain gold-rimmed brocade robe, ink-colored moire waist seal, purple swastika flower-saving placket robe, and a white unicorn Tengyun jade pendant around the waist.

The long body is jade, the hosta pulls the hair, the temperament is noble, and the warmth is like jade.

That wrong eye, Qing Jia only felt that it was carved in the temple, and the Bodhisattva with kind eyebrows and eyes was not as delicate and moving as this person's eyebrows.

At the moment, my heart was beating like a drum, and I didn't dare to look at it again.

All this fell into Lu Qingyu's eyes, and his heart was bitter and indescribable, so he had to stabilize his mind and introduced: "Tang Gongzi, three ...... Chen Gongzi, this is my younger sister, who has been practicing in the mountains since she was a child, and only came back some time ago. ”

Qingjia hurriedly saluted, and the two returned the salute.

So the group walked in this small garden, Lu Qingyuan's brother and sister seemed to be very familiar with the son surnamed Chen, very intimate, holding his hand and not leaving, Lu Qinghuan said coquettishly: "Brother Yunzhao will accompany me to see the koi, okay?" Good no good? ”

This side is being entangled by the child and can't get away, over there Lu Qingyu and that Tang Gongzi have walked to the octagonal pavilion in the distance at some point, and from a distance, the beauty is very harmonious.

Qingjia fiddled with the fish food in his hand, watching the plump koi in the pond scrambling to grab the food falling from the sky with their mouths open, extremely bored, and looked up carelessly, but saw **** Zhao's eyes falling far away on the two people over there.

She chuckled in her heart, his gaze was indescribably lonely, and the expression on his face was still soft. I can't say what I feel in my heart, I just feel messy, I don't pay attention to the porcelain cup in my hand fell into the pool, plop, the carp inside seemed to be crazy to grab food, and for a time the pond splashed everywhere.

Qingjia was taken aback, felt rude, and before she could say anything, the eldest maid beside Mrs. Lu in Dongyuan came over to inform Lu Yi that she had gone down to the court and invited the two sons over.

Lu Qingyu and Qingjia were also called by Mrs. Lu.

……

"Chen Wei, the word Yunzhao, just won the crown this year, the grandson of the former Jingguo Gong......"

"At that time, you were on the mountain, your father was worried about it, and set up a family affair for you, and the family background was excellent, how do you know that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky......"

"Now there is no one in the Chen family, only one mother, I have also seen it, kind and reasonable, very easy to get along with......"

“…… Although your parents ordered the matchmaker to say it, your father still wants to know what you mean. ”

"If you don't want to......"

"Yes, Mother, I do."

**********

The Shangyuan Festival of the Yan Dynasty is a very important festival, and a grand and grand lantern festival is held in the folk society, which is very lively. The girls are even more delighted on this day, whether it is the small jasper of the ordinary family or the ladies in the high-door boudoir pavilion, they can go out to watch the lantern festival on this day. On weekdays, men and women do not kiss each other, and the rules are strict. But on this day, there is no restraint, so many men and women who love each other will meet here to see the lights, girls will prepare exquisite sachets such as Ropa, or men buy exquisite phoenix hairpins as love.

Yan Dynasty folk customs are open, if there is a person who sees the right eye at the lantern festival, a bold woman can take the opportunity to stuff a purse or something, which is written with her birthday, guy ranking, home address, and general situation. If the man is interested, he can go to propose.

Over time, on the Shangyuan Festival, parents made an appointment with each other, men and women looked at each other, and the matchmaker came to the door to say that it was customary.

Therefore, every time it comes to this Shangyuan Festival, the streets of Huadu are full of people coming and going, and a pair of men and women are very lively.

Lu Yi, as the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, respects the etiquette, and the daughter of the Lu family is raised in the deep boudoir, carefully raised, and has no chance to go out on weekdays.

Qingjia has been overjoyed since returning from Mrs. Lu in the afternoon, and when she learned that she could go out to watch the lanterns at night, she was very happy at the moment, and deeply felt that this was probably her luckiest day.

She grew up in the mountains since she was a child, accompanied by the green lantern ancient Buddha, guarding the silent years, even if she was picked up, she was raised in the deep boudoir, and she had no chance to see the outside world, and she had long been looking forward to it.

So as soon as I returned to my small courtyard, I sat in front of the dresser, opened the delicate dressing box on the side, which contained some beaded flowers and hairpins or something, not precious but exquisite, since the last time I lost a hairpin inlaid with butterflies in the garden, the rest of these are reluctant to use, and I am satisfied to open the box every day to touch it.

After dressing up carefully, my complexion in the mirror is much better, and now I am more durable than when I was on the mountain. The perennial calluses on the hands have slowly softened and become less prickly. Although the complexion is not fair, it is also a lot more delicate to the touch, although it is still unbearable compared to Lu Qingyu's skin like coagulation, but Qingjia is very content, and unconsciously smeared some pearl powder on his hand, slowly rubbed it, and looked a little better.

In the evening, Lu Yi left the two sons to eat, and when it was dark, the lantern festival began.

The Tang Gongzi followed Lu Qingyu all night, and the two talked and laughed, so they didn't fit.

When Qingjia went out, he passed by the garden, remembered the delicate red plum in the daytime, and secretly picked one at night when no one was there, and hid it in the wide sleeved robe. When he was busy, he would look at Chen Wei on his side, although he didn't speak along the way, but he didn't know why, just a glance, her heart was jumping like a rabbit.

Unconsciously, the group arrived at the edge of the moat, which was rarely visited at this time in the past, but at this time it was already overcrowded, and there were already many men and women on the long riverbank, some were whispering, some were putting lanterns, and some were chanting poems on the side......

Lu Qingyu and the others were already far away, although the lights were brilliant, but the surrounding trees were luxuriant, and the figures were not clear to see.

Qingjia looked at those delicate lanterns, probably saw the envy in her eyes, Chen Wei came to the stall, when he came back, he was holding a four-cornered lantern with a hundred flowers and butterflies in his left hand, and he was also holding a few lotus river lanterns in his right hand, Qingjia followed him down the river bank and came to the river, and then he lit the candle in the middle of the river lantern and handed it to Qingjia, Qingjia gently put it on the surface of the river and gently pushed it to let it float away with the river.

Three river lanterns side by side float on the water in a line, and the candle flames flicker, reflecting the empty sky, which is very beautiful.

Qingjia watched them drift away from each other, her heart warmed, the full moon was clear, the willows were blowing the embankment, she looked down and saw the man's handsome side face reflected on the Yingying water waves, looking up, looking at each other, she had not read a book, and she didn't know a few words, but at this time, she felt that in that glance, the light in the river, the moon in the sky, was not as deep as his deep eye waves.

Before he was shy, he heard him speak: "Miss Lu," he stretched out his hand to help her up, and said slowly: "Today I talked to Ling Zun about the marriage with your mansion......"

Qingjia's face turned red and lowered his head slightly.

“…… Now my family has suddenly undergone great changes, and now it is not what it used to be, and the young lady is from a famous family......"

Chen Wei watched Qingjia's face turn from red to white little by little, and he couldn't bear it, so he paused for a moment, and said: "Qi Da is not a coincidence, it is really difficult to match, I have no shame to drag ...... down."

Qingjia listened silently, even if she didn't understand the world and was clumsy, she could probably understand what he meant at this time, so she didn't want to listen, raised her face, and choked up: "Childe doesn't have to be so arrogant, it's me...... It's that I'm not worthy of you, you're the young master of the dignified mansion, I'm just a concubine's daughter, and I'm not good-looking and even smart......"

Chen Wei wanted to speak but was stopped by her, trying to restrain her emotions, she continued: "I grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I don't know much. ”

The words have been said at this point, and Chen Wei sighed lightly.

"I already know what you said, and I know in my heart that if it weren't for that, I would never be worthy of it with your family background and talents."

What else was said later, Qingjia's mind was so messed up that he couldn't remember it clearly. I only remember that at last he took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, and when she reached out to take it, she forgot that there was a plum blossom hidden in her sleeve, which fell out and fell to the ground.

Chen Wei was stunned for a moment, bent down and picked it up, the red plum blossoms reflected his pale complexion, it was really beautiful.

"It's ......"

Qingjia was a little embarrassed: "I don't know how to embroider, my hands are very clumsy, and I can't make a good-looking purse...... The rest of the words don't need to be said anymore, she paused, and her eyes turned firm: "Don't worry, son, I will make it clear from my father's side, and I will not embarrass you." ”

Although sad, Qingjia still knows that emotional matters cannot be forced.

Chen Wei looked at the red plum in front of her, she looked at the bright moon in the water, hiding their hearts from each other, and was silent.

At this time, Lu Qingyu came to find them, and it turned out that Lu Yi was worried about the time and sent someone to pick them up.

Qing Jia was also afraid that others would see something, so he didn't dare to say more, hurriedly said goodbye, and when he was getting away, Qing Jia couldn't help but turn around, only to see that the man was still standing in the place just now and did not leave, in the deep night, his figure was already blurred and could not be blurred anymore, but Qing Jia could still feel that his gaze had been falling in the direction they left.

Inexplicably, at that moment, she felt depressed in her heart, and only felt that the sweet sugar gourd in her mouth was really sour and astringent when she bit into it, and it was difficult to swallow.

After I went back, I was unhappy for a long time, and I never eased up, and within a few days I became haggard and even thinner than when I first came back.

That afternoon, staying in the small room in the attic, thinking sullenly about how to talk to Lu Yi, lying on the small table and looking at the wind chimes hanging on the eaves, I fell asleep in a daze.

"Wow, blahh—"

Who is it——?

"Miss—"

Lan Ping's voice was extremely happy, and she didn't know if it was freezing or because of excitement, her eyes widened at this time, her eyebrows were smiling, and she said, "The Chen family has come to the mansion to hire!" ”
