Chapter 112: Fireworks (II)
Changting bowed again, "Father can still talk to Shi Meng about wine, and Shi Meng can also talk to his father about the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, this is the style of a celebrity." ”
The eldest princess was really sad.
Changting paused slightly, pursed his lips and chuckled, "Grandmother also came to see the fireworks tonight, right?" Take a look at the happiness of the common people of the poor family... At least they're happier than we are. ”
As night approaches, the town of Aoba comes alive.
A group of people and carriages "wheeled" to the riverside, and sure enough, the eldest princess politely declined the guards organized by the high squire, and asked Yue Laosan to lead the team - Qingye Town is close to Youzhou, and the remnants of Jizhou Zhou Tongling are too busy to take care of themselves, so the situation is extremely safe, so there are less than 100 people accompanying them.
Due to the heavy snow and cold weather for several days, the river surface has been frozen for hundreds of miles, and the high squire bowed down to lead the way, and from time to time turned around to introduce to the female dependents, "... This year is a rare heavy snow in a century, and it usually snows in a mega year, but this year's snow is too urgent! I don't have any hope for a good year, I just hope that our acres of land will be frozen! The government doesn't have anything to do, the price of grain can't be collected together, and the people in one city after another have to starve and freeze..."
Gao Chen bumped her husband on the elbow, and Squire Gao felt speechless and quickly shut up.
The fireworks upstairs are beautiful, crackling on the ice, the ice is like a mirror to shine brighter in the sky, the eldest princess is sitting in the attic, and there are small vendors downstairs singing and selling food, maltose, oil cakes, warm porridge, singing one by one to the heart's nest.
Xiao Changning looked at the eldest sister with a blank eye.
Changting also looked at her with a blank eye, blinking, sorry, now is not the time for her to have the final say!
Changting raised his eyebrows and glanced at Emei, who was stunned for a moment and then understood, leaning over and whispering to the eldest princess of Zhending, "... Would the eldest princess want to go downstairs and take a look? The fireworks in the attic are all seen, but isn't it a pity that one party didn't see them at all? ”
The eldest princess of Zhending glanced at Changning, and her cloud sleeves were wide spread, "Allow the two girls to go downstairs and take a look, the guards are not allowed to lose them, and the two girls are encircled inside, and they are also pushed by people." ”
The Lu family who was hidden in the corner nodded yes.
The street is not crowded, but it is very lively, both sides of the street are full of people, selling lanterns, selling Lantern Festival, selling wontons, everything, and selling face makeup, old and young carrying red lanterns through the streets and alleys seem very pleasant.
The Lu family's Xiaobai deputy general took the lead, divided into left and right wings, and Yue Laosan and Yue Fan walked beside the female dependents on the left and right.
Hu Yuniang rolled her eyes, "... This pie, others don't bother to rob you, who else can rob? ”
Changning covered his mouth and laughed.
Changting also smiled, even if there were so many guards, this was the first time she had wandered around the night market in the town, and that time in Jizhou didn't count, it was a scene that Shi Meng had put in his mind.
The noise in the ears, the noise is like being in a hot pot, and the people around them are dumplings, which are boiled by the water and jump again and again, which is very festive.
"His second aunt! When will we meet our new daughter-in-law! It's been a month since I got married, and I haven't seen a shadow! ”
"My kid went to the county to study! After the first month, you are a reader! ”
"Then you have to study in the city, right? I'll have to get up and go out in a few days! Ouch! No matter how many days he watches, if he can come out with a scholar, there is green smoke on the grave of the old Wang family! ”
The old woman, the peasant families in the village, and the girls all huddled together and talked.
Northland people speak loudly and sound fierce, but anyone knows that a loud voice does not mean that there is malice, and a gentle voice may also be a soft knife.
Yue Fan bought five sugar figures, handed one to each of the three girls, and then handed it to Yue Laosan.
Yue Lao San slapped his head again, "Damn, when did you see Lao Tzu eating this thing!" ”
Yue Laosan jumped up vigorously and shouted, "I didn't know you didn't eat it!" If I want to buy them all, you won't have your share, and you should slap me again! ”
Yue Laosan kicked forward again, scolding in his mouth, but laughing while scolding.
Changning was very cheerful, while tightly tugging on the corner of Changning's clothes, while involuntarily leaning out, there was a corner at the corner of the street where the heat was rising, Changning pulled the corner of his clothes, and looked at the eldest sister with wide eyes.
Yue Fan looked funny, and pointed with his hand, "Little Aning wants to eat glutinous rice paste?" ”
Changning smiled and nodded heavily.
Changting also smiled, "Say whatever you want, your mouth grows on your own body, do you think everyone is used to being roundworms like little brother Yue?" ”
Hu Yuniang's hand trembled, and then she crossed her waist and laughed, "Roundworms... Hahahaha... Roundworm! ”
Yue Laosan didn't give his son face, he also laughed, and led people to the stall with a big axe, Yue Fan stayed behind, and only reacted after a while, stretched out his hand to chase forward, "Ouch, hey!" I didn't mess with you! ”
"But you're provoking Ayu every day!" Changting also stretched his neck and replied to him with a smile, "Our Ayu can't speak, I'll avenge her for her!" What's the matter! Defy!? ”
Yue Fan snorted fiercely, and raised his heels as he snorted.
Glutinous rice paste is the first time to eat, said to be glutinous rice paste, in fact, more like the eight immortals porridge, red beans boiled into sand, yam is also boiled soft, glutinous rice is boiled so that you can't see the small grains at all, and the fragrance of taro powder is mixed in it, fragrant and thick, a pot of paste is all boiled in a big pot, a spoon is a bowl, craftsmen are used to business, take the big spoon of the hand to put it down steadily, and then steadily lift it up, the soup paste does not spill out at all, and then put a few pieces of hawthorn paste on it, sprinkle a large spoonful of sugar, and hand it to the diners. It's steaming and it's warm for no reason.
Hu Yuniang shouted loudly, "Come to five bowls!" Then he turned his head and asked Wen Sheng if the dozen or so guards who followed him wanted to, the guards were just bad, and it was the rule to be half-hearted, the leading Xiaobai deputy general shook his head again and again, Hu Yuniang turned around and opened his voice and shouted, "Let's have five bowls first!" Not enough to add more! Sprinkle more sugar! ”
"Six bowls."
Yue Laosan smiled so much that his beard curled, and he raised his head to let everyone look out, "Come to six bowls!" Here comes another person! ”
Changting followed Yue Laosan's gaze and looked out, Meng Tuo was dressed in black, carrying a knife on his back and coming from the east side without hurrying to welcome the light and stepping on the moon, the crowd was still noisy, but he was very silent.
Changting pursed his lips and smiled, looking back and explaining to the store, "Six bowls, don't put so much sugar in one bowl." ”
Yue Lao glanced at Changting with three eyes, and leaned over with a smile and asked, "How does the girl know that Atuo doesn't eat sugar?" ”
How did she know that Montato didn't like sweets?
Because no matter how close the persimmon scrambled eggs are in front of him, he will not stretch out the chopsticks to clamp them, the persimmon scrambled eggs in the north are put in sugar, and it is not good to stretch out his arms to clip the distant meals on the dinner table, all the way over, often make persimmon scrambled eggs, and often put them next to Meng Tuo, Meng Tuo would rather eat steamed buns than stretch out chopsticks...
Aning's maltose, he never eats.
Changting smiled, a little embarrassed.
Meng Tuo approached, just when the glutinous rice paste was ready and placed in front of him, Meng Tuo sat down next to Yue Fan on the left side of the long pavilion, Yue Fan and Hu Yuniang were still arguing and shouting, Xiao Aning concentrated on drinking mush, Yue Laosan didn't want to mix with the juvenile bureau, picked up the bowl and sat next to Vice General Xiaobai, well, he was telling jokes to Vice General Xiaobai, Zhang Sanli and Siwang Mazi finished speaking, Vice General Xiaobai didn't laugh, Yue Laosan's love was a little collapsed, and he spat on the ground, "You are really a soldier brought out by Lao Qintou!" ”
That's right, the expression on General Xiao Qin's face is not very rich...
There was a lot of noise in the snack shed, and fireworks bloomed in the night sky outside.
Meng Tuo buried his head in drinking glutinous rice paste, and Changting moved to the left side of the bench, and said with a smile, "It's been so many days, and today is like the New Year." ”
Meng Tuo made a movement in his hand, choked in his mouth, and coughed twice.
Changting wanted to help him with his breath, but after a little more silence, he still made two gestures on himself and taught him, "... When I choked, it went from my chest to my stomach, yes, that's it..."
Meng Tuo smoothed it twice, only then did he remember that his mouth had not been wiped yet, and he wanted to wipe his mouth with the back of his hand, and then he took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the corners of his mouth and took it to his eyes, and he blushed a little - just now, the red bean paste was stained on the corner of his mouth...
Changting was empathetic, "Nothing to do, I was still walking around with cow's milk foam when I was young!" ”
Meng Tuo was silent, tucked the handkerchief into his sleeve, looked up and said softly, "There is a letter from Kyoto." ”
That's why he came, he didn't come here to eat glutinous rice paste!
Changting frowned, nodded, and motioned for Meng Tuo to continue speaking.
"Seal it with red lacquer mud, I estimate that it is Qin Xiangyong's handwriting, and when I go back, you pay attention to the behavior of the eldest princess, if I have the opportunity to open the envelope, I will tell you the specific content at that time."
This is related to the choice of the eldest princess!
It is related to whether Lu Fen will become the fate of an outcast!
Changting's expression was light, and he nodded solemnly, "If you can't find the opportunity, don't take any risks, there is not much difference between knowing one day earlier and knowing one day later, and it is important to be safe." What happened to my brother? ”
Three days ago, Meng Tuo would come back from Youzhou, an errand arranged by Shi Meng, he didn't say it, and Changting didn't ask.
When asked about Lu Changying, Meng Tuo remembered another matter.
He put his hand into the placket of his shirt and took it out for a long time, as if he had taken out something, he curled up in his palm and handed it to Changting, seeing that Changting didn't react, he raised his chin and said softly, "Reach out and take it." ”
The palm of Changting's hand slowly lifted up little by little, and Meng Tuo opened his palm, which was a very warm object.
Changting looked down.
It's the ancient white jade wrench left by Lu Xuan!
In order to set up a set for Zhou Tongling, she was afraid that the chips would not be enough, so she gritted her teeth and sent it to the wrench in Zhou Tongling's hand!
She never thought that she would be able to return to her hands - after all, she didn't have the ability to thoroughly search Zhou Tongling's mansion now!
Changting was very excited, and quickly looked up at Meng Tuo, "You found this!" ”
Under the bright light of the night, Meng Tuo seemed to be pursing his lips and smiling.
"Happy birthday."
Meng Tuo said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, there was a "bang" outside the shed, and a firework burst into full bloom. RS
