Chapter 111: Fireworks (I)
The conversation between Changting and the eldest princess of Zhending came to an abrupt end, and the two of them tacitly never talked about it again, but General Xiao Qin was nowhere to be seen at night, and it was estimated that he would return to Jizhou as soon as possible.
Hu Yuniang secretly asked the next day, Changting said 1510, Hu Yuniang was very blamed, "Brother Lu hasn't woken up yet, why did you tell your grandmother about this?" If Brother Lu has something... Oops, baa ”
Changting could understand Hu Yuniang's thoughts, smiled and gently hugged Lan Yuniang, but gently comforted but didn't say anything thoroughly.
New Year's Day comes.
Changting's birthday is on the twenty-eighth of the first month, hanging the edge of the first month, the fourteen-year-old birthday is spent in someone else's mansion, to the twenty-eighth of the first month, the convoy has approached Yuzhou, but the mountains can be blocked, and the weather is warm and cold, afraid of the situation of avalanche and drought in a hurry, the eldest princess of Zhending ordered to rest in the Qingye Town, which is the closest to Yuzhou.
Qingye Town is narrow at both ends, the middle abdomen is wide, not big at all, there are three avenues from the east to the west, and only more than 100 households are all connected with their relatives in a roundabout way. Naturally, there was no post house in such a small township, so the group settled in a squire's mansion with a high surname, and the four female dependents lived quite properly, and the men rented the houses of ordinary people. After playing the banner of the Lu family, the people were all treated with courtesy, and the New Year's rice wine, dumplings, bacon, and cured hooves were all served on the table.
Well, before he lived for three days, Yue Fan lazily pinched the meat on his belly and complained with a hippie smile, "I can't stop my mouth at all, and when I pinch it, my waist is full of meat!" ”
Hu Yuniang leaned on the warm couch and pointed at him and sneered.
They are like a peach blossom paradise, calm and peaceful.
If you forget the frequent informants, and the heavily armed soldiers outside the city.
Informants frequently enter and leave Aoba Town, and Yue Laosan wanted to investigate but couldn't find anything, so he could only hear that some came from the north, some came from Kyoto, and none came from Jizhou.
Naturally, it was Lu Fan's people who came from the north, and Qin Xiangyong came from Kyoto.
Shi Meng held Lu Changying in his hand, but in front of the eldest princess of Zhending, the wind became light.
To the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the eldest princess of Zhending personally cooked a bowl of longevity noodles, the long pavilion ate to the end, and then smiled and drank the broth, this is the first time she spent her birthday outside, the eldest princess of Zhending was interested in lively, but still confined to the sky and the earth, had to give up, the eldest princess of Zhending was arrogant, hundreds of soldiers received five plum blossom style gold buns, and a pair of jade bracelets to Hu Yuniang's wrist.
Hu Yuniang was amazed, and spoke softly to Changting, "The most valuable thing that grandpa gave me is a plain silver hairpin, and he himself is crooked, not looking good at all, when grandpa was sick, I also went to be a big tile house for you to sue me?" ”
Changting laughed, "I'd rather have that plain silver hairpin." This bracelet can also be counted as a large tile house. Your plain silver hairpin, no matter how many big tiled houses you can't buy. ”
It is understandable that the eldest prince is mainly to use this to seal the Quartet from the head.
The relationships between the people in the family are complicated, but they can be boiled down to nothing more than two things, sticks and jujubes, all the way to work hard, to be rewarded. But for the sake of the master's family is to do the right thing for the subordinates, and you can't reward it for such a reason, so it is just a good opportunity for the master to talk about his heart in the name of the word.
Changting would rather have a silver hairpin, at least a congratulatory gift that relatives have spent their minds on.
Gao Squire's eyes were bright, the longevity noodles of the long pavilion had not been eaten, he ordered them one by one, and at noon there was a table full of vegetarian meals, the eldest princess sat on the long seat, the female dependents had a table, the men had a table, the Gao family had another table, the small hall in the middle and the high wooden screen, the eldest princess Zhending asked Gao Chen to come to the table and sit down, Gao Chen Cheng bowed down in fear, sat tremblingly at the bottom seat, and the chopsticks were not held steadily, so they fell to the ground with a "snap".
"Mrs. Chen is also from Aoba Town?"
The eldest princess of Zhending put down the chopsticks, raised her chin slightly, and softly unencircled.
Changting could only see the top of Gao Chen's head, and only heard her stammer, "No, I'm in Yuzhou City... Oh, back to the eldest princess, I... The concubine is a person from the city of Yuzhou..."
"In the city? Gan County? White City? ”
Gao Chen's hand shrunk in his sleeve and trembled, and he should have been tired of the chopsticks on the table again, "Concubine... It's the people of Licheng..."
Licheng is the best city in Yuzhou, and Qingye Town is too small, which is also considered to be married.
The eldest princess laughed softly, "Then why do you want to marry out of the city?" It's so far away from my mother's house, and my parents don't want to? ”
Probably because the tone of the eldest princess was too gentle, Gao Chen quickly raised his head, and quickly lowered his head, his face was red, "... The old man's family is rich, and the dowry can make my younger brother marry a daughter-in-law, and my younger brother can marry a daughter-in-law.
The other side of the screen moved, and the high squire was anxious, and scolded the mother-in-law through the screen in a sullen voice, "What are you yelling in front of the honorable people!" Eat rattan carefully at night! ”
The eldest princess of Zhending smiled warmly, "It is a great fate for two people to come together regardless of seven or eight, and it is a pity!" Other people's homes are the blessings of the old man, but your family is the kindness accumulated by the God of Wealth! ”
As soon as the eldest princess Zhending finished speaking, she laughed happily to herself.
Seeing that the eldest princess was not surprised, Squire Gao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and echoed with a smile. Gao Chen's face turned white for a while, and he gradually tore off his face and laughed tremblingly.
Changting don't turn his head, through the slit exposed by the screen, he saw Meng Tuo with a tight corner of his mouth and a dull expression.
After the banquet, Squire Gao beckoned people to drink tea in the lobby, and the eldest princess really had a greeting without a match, and after a round, Squire Gao said that there was a fireworks show tonight, "... It's the old custom of Aoba Town.,After the New Year, it's time to ban fire and smoke.,These days it's just a good time to take the tail of the New Year... If a few girls want to take a look, it just so happens that the Gao family has chartered the building with the top of the river, which is safe and quiet..."
The eldest princess of Zhending looked at Changting, Changting looked at Xiao Changning, Xiao Changning looked at Hu Yuniang, and Hu Yuniang looked eager to try.
"If it's cheap, it's okay to make a fuss."
The eldest princess of Zhending smiled, "It's just that it's troublesome Master Gao." ”
Squire Gao couldn't help but be overjoyed, shrunk in his sleeve and waved his hand repeatedly, "Cheap and cheap!" It's just two steps away! Look at the eldest princess is polite! Don't dare to let the eldest princess call a certain master! Don't dare! Don't you dare! The wide sleeves flicked hurriedly, explained left and right, and emphatically advised, "Be safe!" Let the shopkeeper drive out all the people who eat the food! Sensei shocked the quarrel of several masters! ”
The eldest princess really agreed to it, which surprised Changting.
After noon, the high house in and out without stopping, from the field dam to find a hundred and eighty peasant family standing in the high house, the high squire pulled the voice of the lecture, and asked these people to change into clean linen clothes, and another person issued a sharpened knife with a very bright sword, very a bit of encouragement in the battle.
The eldest princess of Zhending sat firmly in the lobby and watched quietly.
The fight outside was hot, and Changting looked at the eldest princess of Zhending, and said softly, "It's impossible for us to use these people when we travel, why don't you stop it first?" Why bother with all the effort..."
The eldest princess of Zhending took another sip of tea, her face was warm, "Even if it's Fei Baigong, they are happy." His eyes looked at Changting, as if he had finally waited for an opportunity, and said the following words, "Yes, when you were in trouble and fled, it was those common people who helped you and A-Ning, Hu Deyu, Yue Laosan, Yue Fan, including that Master Meng. But they don't associate with you, and your class, status, and origins are very different. ”
Xiao Changning turned around and looked at the long pavilion as if he didn't understand.
Changting raised his hand and asked Man Xiu to take Changning into the inner room first.
The eldest princess Zhending didn't say anything to stop it, but instead sighed, and only after Changning left did she reopen her mouth, "The help they give can be exchanged for financial compensation." We want to go back to Pingcheng, grievances and grievances, love and hatred are all contradictions between the Shi clan and the Shi clan, even Shi Meng is not qualified to meddle in the affairs of the Lu family, where do the rest of them come from to be close to you and A-Ning? The Lu family accepted Shi Meng's great affection, but gave him a Jizhou as usual - what do you think I let Shi Meng's villain behavior for? Just to stop having too much to do with him..."
The eldest princess of Zhending couldn't see Changting's expression clearly, and she didn't know whether to be glad that the little girl finally understood whether she was happy and angry or sad, "Your handkerchief is the sisters of the Xie family and the Wang family, not those people." Back to Pingcheng, Hu Yuniang's dowry, I will be sufficient, if she is not reliable, I will not shirk to help her say a family affair with all face, she will live a very good life under the protection of the Lu family. I just hope Gillian doesn't have anything to do with them. ”
Changting tilted his head lightly and took a deep breath.
This is the heartfelt words of the eldest princess Zhending, which she said after brewing and brewing, thinking and thinking.
Changting can understand, because this is the idea of every person from the scholar clan, people and people are three, six, nine and so on, they are those who stand at the top, laughing at the common people, and leading for a hundred years. Her friendship with Hu Yuniang, Yue Laosan, Yue Fan and others is an outlier and a shame, and even Lu Fan can make a big article on this matter.
Changting raised his eyebrows and pursed the corners of his lips, lowered his head and gently swung his skirt, and after a long time, he got up and bowed to the eldest princess of Zhending, "Grandmother's words, Gillian will also think about it when she writes it down." It's just that Gillian dared to ask her grandmother that financial compensation can repay the money they used, but how can it compensate for their blood and tears? Taking other people's food, but thinking that other people's hands are dirty, the style of the scholars should not be like this. ”
The eldest princess was stunned for a moment. RS
