Su Xi lay in bed for two whole days, lying all over his body and bones stiff, the first thing he did when he went to the ground was to change his clothes, drive out the girls such as Tingyan and Tinghe, and revitalize his muscles and bones, and danced alone in the house for half an hour, and then he felt much more comfortable.

Listening to the geese and listening to the crane prepared the hot water early, Su Xi came out of the clean room after taking a bath, wearing only a pink and purple Luo shirt, a pair of delicate green woven gold trousers, and a five-spice pill in her mouth, sitting on the beauty couch, letting Tingyan hold her hair and wipe the rose oil that nourishes her hair at the end of her hair.

Su Xi's shiny and smooth hair was all maintained by this small bottle of rose oil.

Rose oil is a recipe obtained from Mr. Dong, it is said that this is how Concubine Xu in the palace took care of her hair, and the first emperor's favorite was her seaweed-like black hair.

After listening to Yan finish brushing her hair, she took a small painted porcelain jar on the yellow rosewood incense table on the side, slid Su Xi's pants above her knees, and asked while applying begonia honey cream to her: "Girl, do you really want to go to the Shangyuan banquet tomorrow?" ”

Su Xi raised her head from the book and looked at Tingyan with a smile, "What, Sister Tingyan doesn't want me to go?" ”

"How dare a slave be the master of the girl." Listening to Yan looking at Su Xi's greasy white and flawless calves, she wanted to say something and said: "The slave just feels that there must be many people on the street on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and the girl is like this...... I'm afraid it's not safe. ”

Su Xi didn't think about it so much, turned a page of the book in his hand, and responded: "Isn't there still you?" What's more, the second brother will also go with him. ”

When Su Zhi came to visit Su Xi yesterday, he said that he would accompany her out on the Shangyuan Festival.

Listening to Yan was a little relieved and didn't speak again.

There are a lot of people on the street, especially when the Shangyuan Festival is so lively, and her girl is so attractive, hearing that Yan is really worried that she can't watch it, Su Xi has an accident.

In the evening of the next day, Su Xi changed her clothes and asked Tinghe to pull a simple bun for her, with a golden silk butterfly and plum hairpin on the hairpin, and stood in front of the mirror to look at it, quite satisfied.

The girls generally choose to go out in the evening, the Xiangshui Lake at night is interesting, the two banks are hung with continuous lanterns, the painting boats of each family are parked on the lake, or the painting boat is toasted and feasted on the painting boat, or play the piano and write poems, when it comes to the time or so, the center of the lake will also light up colorful fireworks, which can be much more lively than during the day.

Outside the door, Su Zhi rode a horse and stopped in front of a black-painted flat-topped carriage, wearing a navy blue brocade robe with a twinked branch treasure pattern, a handsome side face, and cold eyebrows.

Maybe it was a long wait, and the horse scraped its hooves impatiently, but Su Zhi did not have a trace of impatience on his face, but instead reached out to help the horse's head and let it be quieter.

Su Xi finally came out of the door, took her skirt and walked down the stairs, walked to Su Zhi and raised her little face and asked, "Second brother, why did you come out so early?" Did it keep you waiting? ”

Su Zhi curled his lips slightly and said comfortingly: "I didn't wait long, I just went out, let's get in the carriage quickly, it will be dark in a while." ”

Su Xi nodded, took Tingyan's hand and got into the carriage, and when he heard Su Zhi say "go" outside the carriage, the coachman raised his whip and drove towards Xiangshui Lake.

*

Xiangshui Lake is the most prosperous area in Beijing, the west is lined with shops, and the east is full of lanterns, looking at it from a distance, it is like a night curtain hanging from the sky, dotted with stars one by one. The stars have their own shapes, some like lotus, pagoda, hydrangea, some like rabbits, horses, and monkeys. It's all kinds and dazzling to look at.

The street is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, lively, everywhere you can see young girls wearing brocade clothes, usually you can't see so many boudoir daughters, and only when the Shangyuan Festival is so special they will go out.

If you want to find a quiet place, I'm afraid there is only Xiangshui Lake. There are exquisite painting boats parked on the lake, most of them are people with heads and faces in Beijing, ordinary people can not afford to sit on such painting boats, they can only watch from afar, and have the privilege to listen to the beautiful music flowing from above.

If you want to talk about quiet, in fact, it is not quiet, after all, under the influence of this atmosphere, anyone is slightly drunk.

"Second master, the eldest prince of the Governor's Mansion in front of me has asked someone to invite you again." Not long after Su Xi and Su Zhi stood on their own painting boat, the lobby brother Su Zhi urged them three times.

Su Zhi was worried that Su Xi alone would not be safe, so he delayed responding.

It wasn't until Su Xi saw the painting boat of the Qingguo Mansion that he said to Su Zhi: "Second brother, go over, don't worry about me, I have Tingyan by my side, and there will be Cousin Fu in a while, nothing will happen." ”

The two painting boats met, Su Xi boarded the painting boat of the Qingguo Mansion, and Su Zhi watched her walk into the cabin before letting the boatman rock the boat away.

Su Xi thought that Fu Yi was the only one in the cabin, but unexpectedly, he just walked to the door of the painting boat and saw that Fu Shaoyun was also inside. Fu Shaoyun was wearing a royal blue brocade suit, taller than two years ago, sitting on the warm collapse with one leg bent, tilting his head sideways, looking out the window.

"Sister Xi." Fu Yi sat up from the couch and greeted him.

Fu Shaoyun was obviously stiffened when he heard the sound, turned his head to look at the door, his eyes stopped on Su Xi, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

In the past two years, Su Xi deliberately avoided Fu Shaoyun, and he hadn't seen him for a while, counting the last time they met was more than half a year ago. There was no way to avoid it now, Su Xi bent his eyes, stood at the door and stopped entering, and shouted: "Sister Instrument, cousin Shaoyun." ”

The little girl at the door wears a rain-soaked azure skirt, the skirt is embroidered with a hundred birds and patterns, the pattern is exquisite, the skirt gently sways with her movement, and those lifelike birds seem to come to life all of a sudden, fluttering their wings, and can also make people smell a little flowers. She was wrapped in a cloak with red trim embroidered with peony patterns, and her white velvet fox fur surrounded her pink face, which was like finely polished nephrite, with eyebrows like green feathers, lips like Zhu Dan, and muscles like snow, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

After a long time, Fu Shaoyun said in a low voice: "Young." ”

Fu Yi knew that Su Xi was deliberately evasive, but she didn't force it, "Cousin Xi is finally here, I haven't been able to find you first, and you won't come." Sister Ming, they are all here, and now they are waiting for you alone, since you are here, let's go over together. ”

Su Xi nodded and said yes. Fu Yi asked the boatman to change direction and sail to a large painting boat in the middle of the lake, looking quite gorgeous from a distance, the painting boat is the princess's mansion, it turns out that the owner of Wanping Weng is also here today.

Fu Yi told Su Xi about the other people in it, most of them were familiar people, and Su Xi usually knew them.

As soon as Su Xi turned her head, she saw Fu Shaoyun looking at her in a daze, she tilted her head and smiled, and said, "Cousin Shaoyun, doesn't he have fun with his friends?" ”

Fu Shaoyun was stunned and wanted to say something, but finally said: "After Sister Yi and Cousin Xi leave, I will go over." ”

Su Xi didn't ask any more. She still remembered that at this time in her last life, Fu Yi did not invite her to participate in the Shangyuan banquet, but Fu Shaoyun secretly took her out of the house and went to the Jade Building on West Street to eat a mutton soup pot.

Su Xi has never been able to figure out why Fu Shaoyun is so keen to collect delicacies for her? Is it any good for him that her mouth is raised?

After thinking about it for two years, Su Xi didn't understand this question.

"Here we are." Fu Yi's voice interrupted Su Xi's thoughts.

The two boarded the painting boat of the princess's mansion together. Wanping Weng Lord stood at the door of the painting boat wearing an autumn-colored large-sleeved shirt, looked at the painting boat of the Qingguo Mansion, looked at Fu Shaoyun's gaze, and rarely showed a little bit of the coquettishness of his little daughter's family, and said, "Fu Gongzi." ”

Fu Shaoyun came back to his senses, hugged his fists and saluted, "Lord Wanping Weng." ”

Wan Ping Weng said: "Master Fu, don't worry, after the banquet is over in a while, I will send Sister Yi back in person." ”

"Then there is Lord Lauun." Fu Shaoyun's mind was not in this way, and it was not until Su Xi entered the painting boat and could no longer see that he withdrew his gaze and hid his figure into the night.

*

There are all familiar faces in the painting boat, in addition to Wanping Weng, there are also Yin Mengming, Yin Pengpeng and Li Anyi, as well as Yu Baotong.

Before Su Xi came, they were playing Flying Flower Order, and one person said a poem with "flower", which had been turned several times, and now only Yu Baotong and Yin Mengmeng were left on the field.

When it was Yu Baotong's turn, it happened to be time for her to pick up the flower word in the first word. The first word is not difficult, but the difficult thing is that after several rounds, the verses that should be said have been said, and she really can't remember it, so she admits a cup of punishment and says, "I lost." ”

The wine on the small table of rosewood inlaid luodian was replaced with osmanthus brewing, the wine taste is light and sweet, suitable for the girl's family to drink.

Yin Mengming said: "Miss Yu is also very powerful, but there are few verses in the first word, I took the lead, and this won you." ”

If you lose, you lose, Yu Baotong is not the one who can't afford to lose, and said with a smile: "Miss Yin is modest, it's me who is shallow in learning." ”

Li Anyi saw Fu Yi and Su Xi coming in, and interjected: "Sister Yi is very knowledgeable, if Sister Yi also participates in this game, I don't know who will win." ”

Yin Mingming regards Fu Yi as her biggest opponent, and has been secretly competing with Fu Yi for the position of "No. 1 Noble Girl", and now when she heard this, her smile froze, and she immediately said: "That's right, but it's a pity that I couldn't compete with Sister Yi." ”

"What's this, isn't there another game?" Lord Wanping Weng said disapprovingly.

After Fu Yi sat down, Su Xi also sat down next to Yu Baotong.

Yu Baotong pinched Su Xi's little face, "It's okay if you don't come today." ”

Su Xi smiled and said, "Sister Yu is here, why don't I come." ”

The mouth is very sweet.

During this period, Fu Yi and Yin Mingming summed it up and decided to play the drum and pass the flower order in the next round. However, this drum passing flower order has changed the rules, which is not quite the same as the traditional one. When the drum sounds, the banquet will be handed to the people around the people in turn, after the drum stops, the flower falls on whose hand, who will come up with a question, if someone on the field answers, then the person who asked the question will punish himself with a cup, if no one answers correctly, then everyone will be punished with a glass of wine.

After Fu Yi said it, everyone agreed.

Li Anyi said: "But we are on the boat, where did we get the drums, and who did we let the drums beat?" ”

This is a problem, and the lord of Wanping Weng thought for a while and said, "My cousin's painting boat happens to be nearby, why don't I have someone call him over and let him play the flute for us, instead of the drum, what do you think?" ”

When a few people heard that Wei Feng, the prince of Qi Wang, was also there, they couldn't sit still. It would be great if Wei Feng could play the flute for them.

Yin Mengming bit her lip, both expectant and sour, although Wei Feng rejected her sachet last time, she still longed for Wei Feng in her heart.

Fu Yi said: "It's good, but will the prince of Qi agree?" ”

Lord Wanping Weng is not sure, she sometimes can't figure out the temperament of this cousin, but since she opened her mouth, there is no reason to take it back, and she asked a maid in green clothes next to her.

After a short time, the maid went and returned, and whispered a few words in the ear of the lord of Wanping.

Lord Wanping Weng immediately smiled and said, "Cousin said that he is willing to serve. ”

*

After a while, the painting boat of the Qi Palace's Mansion stopped next to the painting boat of the Princess's Mansion.

Fu Yi took out a bouquet of begonia flowers from the sweet white porcelain vase on the carved bright grid cabinet, and said, "Let's use this bouquet of begonia flowers to send orders, and whoever the flowers pass to will come up with a question?" ”

There was no objection from everyone.

Lord Wanping Weng lifted the curtain embroidered with gold and dark patterns, and said to the opposite cabin: "Cousin, we are going to start." ”

After a while, there were three finger taps on the table from the opposite painting boat, slow and leisurely, which was a response.

When the flute sounded, Su Xi heard that Wei Feng was playing "Gusu Xing", the flute sound was soothing and the charm was profound, but he didn't expect that Wei Dacai was not only brilliant in writing, but also played the flute well.

Before everyone had time to indulge in the sound of Wei Shizi's flute, the "drumming and passing flowers" had already begun.

The begonia flower started with Fu Yi, and Fu Yi passed it to the lord of Wanping Weng, who in turn passed it to Li Anyi, and soon passed it to Su Xi. Su Xi handed the begonia flower to Yu Baotong on the left, and after a circle, when the flute fell, the begonia flower happened to be in Fu Yi's hand.

Li Anyi coaxed: "It seems that Sister Yi is going to come up with this first question." ”

Fu Yi thought for a while and said, "Today is Shangyuan Festival, so I'll make a pair." Then he said, "The water fairy holds a jasper hairpin, and the sound is slow before the wind." ”

The water fairy, jasper hairpin and slow voice are all the names of the word brand, and at the same time they depict a beautiful beauty, but it is not easy to make the lower couplet.

The people in the audience pondered and meditated, but no one could come up with the next link.

Li Anyi said: "Sister Yi's pair is too difficult, I don't have a clue at all." Sister Meng, can you come up with the next link? ”

Yin Mengming shook her head in embarrassment.

Just as everyone was about to admit defeat and everyone punished themselves, Su Xi slowly spoke: "The poppy beauty wears red embroidered shoes, and the moon attracts step by step." ”

Poppy, red embroidered shoes, and Bu Bujiao are also brand names, and this situation is no less than Fu Yi's uplink.

When the words fell, Yin Mengming was stunned for a moment, and then praised from the bottom of her heart: "Sister Xi'er's coupling is very good." ”

Fu Yi glanced at Su Xi in surprise, with a complicated expression, picked up the glaze red wine glass on the table and said, "Sister Xi is good, I admit a cup." ”

Then continue to the next round, this time the flute sound was a little longer, and as soon as Su Xi passed the begonia flower to Yu Baotong, the flute stopped. Yu Baotong muttered: "I'll come up with a lantern riddle - less but not true, the riddle is Xu Feige, play a two-word word." ”

Fu Yi thought for a moment and quickly came up with the answer: "Less is hopeful, not real is false, the two are set with the same radical 'mouth', I guess the riddle is 'sigh'." ”

Yu Baotong smiled: "Miss Fu guessed well. ”

Fu Yi saw Su Xi's eyes down, presumably he didn't guess the answer. Fu Yi calmed down a little because of Su Xi's mood towards the pair, maybe she thought too much, and Su Xi was just trying her luck.

In fact, Su Xi came up with the mystery, but she knew that Yu Baotong couldn't drink, and Rao was drunk with this kind of osmanthus brew with a very light taste, so she didn't tell the mystery. Sure enough, Yu Baotong's face began to turn red after the second cup, but fortunately, he was still conscious and barely survived a few rounds.

The next round of Yin Mengming's question: "There are three points of water, four points of bamboo, and seven points of bright moon." ”

No one is right, although Fu Yi is right about the two lower links, but they are not quite consistent with the upper links.

Only Su Xi said calmly: "From the five-step building, the ten-step pavilion, look at the Yangtze River at one hundred steps." ”

After Su Xi answered a few questions correctly, even Li Anyi saw that something was wrong, and said, "Sister Xi'er can match everything." ”

Fu Yi pursed her lips, and the fingers holding the wine glass turned slightly white.

Lord Wanping Weng seemed to have discovered something, and said strangely: "Several of us have taken the turn, but there has never been Miss Su's turn." Lord Wanping Weng lifted the curtain and said, "Cousin, you shouldn't have done it on purpose, right?" After thinking about it, it was impossible, and Wei Feng couldn't see the situation here.

As if to confirm the words of Lord Wanping, in the next round of "drumming and passing flowers", as soon as the flute stopped, the begonia flowers fell into Su Xi's hands.

Su Xi looked at the flower in her hand, wondering if this Wei Feng was intentional, why did Lord Wanping Weng just finish saying that, and the flower fell into her hand, isn't this suspicious?

Fortunately, everyone knew that Wei Feng couldn't see this, so he just thought it was a coincidence and didn't think much about it.

Su Xi had no choice but to ask the question, looked at the bright moon hanging high outside the painting boat, and then lowered his eyes to look at the reflection of the moon on the lake, and said with an idea: "The moon under the water is the moon in the sky." ”

Could it be that this question made everyone present, Fu Yi and Yin Mingming thought for a while, but they didn't have a clue at all.

At this time, Wei Feng sat behind the red sandalwood carved table, lowered his eyes, and casually swayed the mahogany flute in his hand, as if he was thinking.

Yin Mengmeng couldn't think of the next link, and admitted defeat: "We are willing to punish a glass of wine, Cousin Xi will say what the next link is." ”

Li Anyi was skeptical: "Is there really a link to this question?" Don't let Sister Xi say it casually to fool us. ”

"Naturally, there is a downlink." Su Xi was about to reveal the answer, when a beautiful maid wearing a green makeup and satin skirt came in at the door, and said, "The prince has made a couplet, and I want to ask Miss Su if the answer is correct." ”

Su Xi was stunned, "Please speak." ”

The maid said: "The next link of the prince is right: the person in the eye is the person in front of him. ”

Su Xi blinked, a little surprised that Wei Feng's lower link was exactly what she thought in her heart, and she curled her lips and smiled: "Exactly." ”

The maid went back, and Su Xi picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "I admit punishment for this glass of wine." ”

Yin Mengming said: "This link is from Wei Shizi, not everyone here is right, Cousin Xi doesn't have to punish wine, we should punish it." As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass.

Fu Yi picked up the wine glass and smiled reluctantly: "Sister Meng is right, we should punish this glass of wine." ”

The drumming and flower passing order continued, Su Xi saw that Yu Baotong was no longer strong enough to drink, and her face was red, so she knew that she couldn't drink anymore, so she had to stand up and say goodbye to everyone: "Sister Yu can't play anymore, I'll send her back first." ”

Su Xi took Tingyan and Tinghe and sent Yu Baotong back to the painting boat of Rongguo Mansion.

Yu Baotong was just dizzy, his mind was still sober, he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "There are people here to serve, young and young, you go back, don't worry about me." ”

Su Xi said: "Sister Yu is lying down and resting for a while, it just so happens that I also want to come out for a walk, but the painting boat is too stuffy." ”

After settling Yu Baotong, Su Xi stood at the bow of the boat and blew the wind for a while, but he was not in a hurry to go back. She stepped off the boat, walked a few steps along the shore, and saw that the lights were bright in front of her, and she had unconsciously walked to the lantern street. Su Xi tightened the cloak on his body and walked towards the brightly lit place.

Listen to the geese and listen to the cranes follow closely.

The streets are lined with lanterns of different shapes, and there are many people who guess lantern riddles, and a bunch of people are gathered in front of the lanterns.

Su Xi looked slowly along the street, and after a glance at some riddles, she guessed the answer in her heart, but she didn't say it, and continued to walk to the next one with great interest, almost forgetting to go back to the painting boat.

I saw a horse lantern hanging in front of a stall, four lamps painted the scenery of the four seasons, spring rain, summer, autumn wind, winter snow, each painting is vivid, the characteristics of the four seasons leap to float on the painting, the most wonderful is the spring drizzle and the winter snowflakes in the candle under the reflection of the candle flame, the rain is flying, the snowflakes are fluttering, as if to fly out of the painting.

Su Xi took a fancy to this lantern at a glance, but this lantern was not sold, and it was only given away if he guessed the riddle.

Su Xi picked up the riddle under the lantern and looked at it, which read, "Boundless Falling Wood Xiao Xiao Xiao - type".

It's so hard, no wonder no one has taken it here.

Su Xi couldn't think of it after thinking about it for a long time, he just liked this lamp, standing in front of the lamp and meditating, with a posture of not giving up if he couldn't get the lantern.

Xiao Xiao guides the "Qi Dynasty" and "Liang Dynasty" in the court, Xiao Xiao is the "Chen Dynasty", Chen removes the ear, and then removes the wooden ...... Su Xi Daigo was empowered, his apricot eyes lit up, and he was about to tell the answer to the riddle, but a person standing next to him said unhurriedly: "The riddle is the day." ”

The stall owner took down the lantern with a smile, gave a thumbs up, and said, "This lamp has been hanging here for a long time, and someone finally guessed correctly, Childe has a good mind." ”

The stall owner handed the lantern to Wei Feng and turned around to go about his business.

Wei Feng carried the lantern of the four seasons, his eyes drooped, and he looked at Su Xi who was depressed on the side.
