Fang was finally relieved after Li Rui finished drinking.

She knew that her life and future were preserved by the compromise and tolerance of the Shinguo Mansion, and because of this, when she faced everyone, there was always an unconscious embarrassment.

After she was confined, she rarely appeared in front of people, which is also the reason. Because she herself doesn't know how to face everyone.

Morality is flawed, words and deeds are wrong, and sometimes it is not just an evaluation.

But in any case, Li Rui, the only one in the family who has been treated unfairly, is still willing to make a tolerant gesture, and for the Fang family, this is enough.

This meal was not only the largest meal for the Li family for so long, but also the most relaxing meal for everyone in such a long time.

Li Jun and Li Zhao, as guests, were completely unaware of these twists and turns in the Xinguo Mansion, but this did not prevent them from seeing the relaxed smile on Fang's face, and Li Rui's expression that he could finally face his aunt without deliberately avoiding her gaze. The comfort of the grandmother and the happiness of the uncle, these are all expressions that are impossible to hide.

All they have to know is this, and that's enough.

Li Jun is the protagonist of this meal, and naturally he has received all kinds of praise from everyone. Gu Qing felt that although the genes of the old Li family were not reflected in their appearance, the nature of each child was honest and straightforward, even if they had their own shortcomings, they were all flawed.

Li Mao is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Jun will be twenty as soon as autumn arrives, Li Rui is fourteen this year, Li Zhao is twelve, and Li Ming is ten years old. Li Mao is now working hard in the court, but after ten years, when all the children are older, he will have a helper.

The foundation of the Shinkoku government is weak, but it is not hopeless. The relationship between the Holy Family and the Zhang family's political enemies and allies, as well as the identity of the Xinguo Mansion in the future, will make her family safer than other families.

Gu Qing suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with her. The children have grown up, and they are all moving towards their chosen goals, Li Mao and Fang have woken up and spared no effort to protect their children and nephews from the wind and rain. Li Rui and Li Ming are talented and will not be overlooked, and the two children of the cousin's family are professional talents in the future, and they are not easily replaced.

In the next few days, shouldn't she live for herself, go to the north and south of the great Chu River, or often go out of the house to experience the customs and customs, and take a good look at this ancient time?

Gu Qing couldn't help but let out a long sigh when she thought of what she could do with this old body.

It's okay to walk around the capital and go out of the city...... I'm afraid that if she thinks about it, the whole family won't agree, right?

"In a few days, it's the Mid-Autumn Festival again." Li Ming suddenly spoke. "Dad, it seems that there is no Lantern Festival this year?"

Li Rui and Li Jun were stunned. Li Rui thought of Chu Yingyuan, who met him when he went to see the lights with his grandmother for the first time, and the next series of changes; Li Jun thought of the Kong Ming lanterns flying in the sky, and the crowd of people who couldn't walk one after another.

Li Zhao looked at Li Ming with a curious expression, and then at his cousin.

"Want to play again?" Li Mao twisted his beard and smiled, "This year, there is a big flood in the south, and the imperial court's finances are tight, and your majesty is not allowed to make the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival." Private celebrations are allowed, but the government will not hold them this year. ”

If the imperial court takes the lead in organizing the Lantern Festival, many of the lamps are made in-house, which is naturally very good-looking. Dragon and lion dances and even the construction of a stage require funds. At this time, Jiangnan had just been flooded, countless victims were displaced, and disaster relief convoys from all over the country were going to Jiangnan in an endless stream.

"Then can we still go out to play in the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Li Ming blinked his eyes and suddenly pointed at Li Zhao, "Brother Zhao only came to the capital this year, and he hasn't been there at night." ”

For a while, the whole family looked at Li Mao with blank eyes, and even the Fang family couldn't help but bow their heads and cover their mouths with a handkerchief and snicker.

The old and young of this family are all masters to solve problems.

To tell the truth, Li Mao didn't want the adults and children in the family to go out to play in the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old lady was assassinated not long ago, and seeing that Yin Chao Yu was arrested one by one, the ghost face was also sincerely helping to clean up the Yu sin, he was very afraid that these people would jump off the wall in a hurry.

But the hopes of the old and the young in the family cannot be ignored.

"This ...... If you want to go out, you will have to bring enough with you. Li Mao was really blinded by the eyes of the old and the young and the little expectant, "Also, I can't go to a crowded place this year." It's more troublesome for Mama Hua to take care of it. ”

"Don't dare, you should." Mama Hua bowed slightly behind Gu Qing.

"Oh! You can go out on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival! Daddy's best! ”

"Oh, oh, oh!" Li Zhao also stupidly followed Li Ming for a while, and then was stunned for a moment. "What can I do when I go out on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Hahaha! Even if you don't play anything, it's fun! ”

Li Rui and Li Jun also discussed on the side. They all have friends, and they originally made an appointment to go out to see the lights together on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but now the old lady in the house wants to go out to go out to shake, so they have to push the invitation.

Gu Qing loves to be lively the most, and when she heard that Li Rui and Li Jun wanted to push off the date they had made before, they hurriedly waved their hands.

"You don't have to push, you don't have to push, when you're older, just go play by yourself, you don't have to accompany me, an old woman. It's enough for me to have Li Ming and Li Zhao, and there are so many subordinates and girls. Gu Qing smiled and looked at Li Rui and Li Jun who showed surprised expressions, "I'm not in good shape now, I just look at the situation when I go out to play, and I'm going to come back if I can't go shopping." ”

Li Rui thought about it for a while, but thanked his grandmother for her kindness, and was unhappy with the appointment with his friends. It was His Royal Highness who had an appointment with him, and they were gifted to leave the palace that day, and it was not impossible for him to come back halfway to accompany his grandmother, but he was not a milk doll after all, and if he said that he wanted to go shopping with his grandmother and leave the team, he himself was a little embarrassed.

Li Jun doesn't care very much, his so-called friends are just a few colleagues in Honglu Temple, Fan Siwei, Lu Sen, and Jin Yi. Wang Yiguan continued to stay in Fenzhou and did not come back, and several of his colleagues have always been curious about what he experienced in Fenzhou.

What can be said has been said a long time ago, and if you don't say it, you can't say it, so what's the point of asking all the time?

The Li family discussed on the table when to go out that day, how to leave, how much the family would bring, and whether they should take a micro-service. If Li Mao hadn't been summoned by the saint that day, he would have been idle at home at night, and he could have gone out to go shopping, but Xiao Li Mei was too young, and the Fang family had to stay at home to guard his daughter, so Li Mao could only stay at home with his wife and daughter.

I had a happy meal for a long time, and then I was discussing how to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival. Gu Qing thought that the pastime of the ancients was too little, and he couldn't go out a few times a year if he wanted to go out, and on the other hand, he thought that if he could go out a few times, he should have fun, what else was there to regret.

After the banquet was dispersed, Li Zhao and Li Ming, two brothers, ran back to the West Garden together holding hands to discuss how to play that day, Li Rui followed his grandmother back to Zhiyun Courtyard to see Xiao Li Mei, Li Jun went back to the room, and Li Mao and Fang Shi joined hands and wandered around the North Park at one time, dissipating and dissipating.

Li Mao never told the Fang family what happened to the Fang family. Originally, it was because she hadn't been out of confinement yet, and she said that she would work hard to affect her rest, but later the matter of the Fang family involved "witch introduction", and the Yang family was also taken back by the Yang family, and he knew that Zhang Ning was involved in the middle of the road, so he became more and more reluctant to talk to her.

But the matter always has to be said. It is impossible for Fang Wan not to leave the hospital and not return to her parents' house for the rest of her life. Yang's youngest daughter is still young, and her aunt always has to take care of it, can she turn a deaf ear?

Therefore, Li Mao led the Fang family around the garden for a long time, and when her mood and spirit were obviously excellent, she said as if inadvertently:

"The Yang family killed Aunt Hu, and the Yang family took her away."

At this time, Fang's was teasing a starling who was raised under the eaves, and when he heard her husband's words, he hadn't come to his senses yet, and said stupidly, "Take her away, she should go home for a few days if she is not in good spirits." ”

Li Mao was also stupid, he didn't expect his wife to react like this.

After Fang Clan teased for a while, he suddenly seemed to have his brain turned, and he suddenly turned his head!

"What do you say? Killed? Aunt Hu? ”

The voice is sharper than that of a starling.

Li Mao bared his teeth without showing a trace, and his eardrums were still agitating.

"Don't get excited, I just didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would be excited." Li Mao hurriedly calmed his wife's emotions. "There are still internal ghosts in your house, and someone drugged Yang's pillow, which made her in a trance, so that she hallucinated and went crazy to kill people."

"Is it with Mama Liu?" As soon as Fang heard the inner ghost, he immediately thought of Mama Liu.

Mama Liu is the person of the remnants of the king of Qiyang, and the purpose is to make his family kill each other and leave no chickens and dogs, so as to avenge the king of Qiyang. Ke Zhang Ning...... Is he the remnant of the Yin Dynasty, or is he just angry for his nephew? Li Mao himself didn't know whether to blame him or not.

After all, it was the couple who planted it first.

But she couldn't explain it to her wife, or even her father-in-law. At this time, both the Fang family and the Li family were greatly injured, and they could no longer continue to avenge each other.

Let's just assume that he doesn't know anything.

So Li Mao replied to his wife noncommittally: "Maybe it is, maybe it isn't." Several of Yang's personal girls committed suicide because they couldn't stand the punishment, and a few couldn't ask anything. This matter is destined to become a headless public case. ”

The good mood that the Fang clan had just gotten was immediately defeated, and his face was also iron-blue.

"What has our family done, so many bad people have been staring at? Isn't one life enough for uncle? Do we have to die cleanly? My mother's family has always kept a low profile, and the Yang family is only twenty-one this year, so I will go home from the hall, how will I live in the future? Fang Shi clenched his handkerchief, and his teeth rattled, "Ming'er said that I was sick, just for this?" ”

"My mother-in-law was not strict in governing the family, and her order was lowered to the third class. Your brother...... Now there are only eight products. ”

The eight grades of the Beijing official are similar to the gatekeepers who watch the city gate.

Fang Shi suddenly sat on the chair on the long corridor by the lake, unable to speak for a long time.

Her father is 60 this year, and her mother, like the old lady, gave birth to two children that year, and they did not save them in the war. She is an old woman, she has lived a very good life since she was a child, she has not suffered any grievances, and even if she marries, she can be regarded as a high climber.

Now his father is about to die, and her mother has no fate, her eldest brother is twenty-four this year, and he is still mixed with a seventh-grade local petty official outside, and her younger brother has lost his holy grace and has been reduced to eight-grade ......

Her family, waiting for his father to be a master, even if he is completely defeated, I don't know when he will be able to get up.

"This drugged person is so ruthless in his schemes, so ruthless in his methods...... Fang Shi's body trembled, and he didn't know whether Lu Dao was angry or frightened, but it scared Li Mao a lot.

"Since it is necessary to harm people, the more vicious the natural means, the more effective they are, this time we have lost our precautions, and we will be careful to avoid it next time." Li Mao wrapped his arms around his wife's body, grabbed her shoulders, and forced her to look at him. "Although your family has suffered a great blow, my family has not collapsed, I am still here, and I will not let my father-in-law and mother-in-law suffer."

Fang leaned on Li Mao, thinking of his younger brother all of a sudden, thinking of his elderly parents, thinking that he was married to a good man after all, and he had a lifelong dependence, and he could also take care of his mother's family; I also thought that my mother's family really had nothing to make a calculation, and she would be targeted, always because of her own involvement.

I was groggy for a while, and I don't know how much Lu Dao thought. But life still has to pass.

As my husband said, he hasn't fallen yet, and he hasn't fallen yet, and he will always get better.

"Master, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I want to invite my mother and my younger siblings to accompany me."

"Okay, since you think it's boring at home, just post and let them accompany you."

Mid-Autumn Night.

The floods in the south only affected the imperial court and the merchants who traded from north to south in central Beijing.

For the people of Beijing, the flood is too far away from them. The full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival should be a happy day, a day for the whole family to reunite, and a day to take the old and the young out to enjoy the moon and watch the lanterns.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, the government did not organize any celebrations, nor did they put up lights along the streets, but the merchants in the east and west cities still spontaneously began to decorate the street markets to create a festive atmosphere for this Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is only because of the blockage of the trade routes in the south that the prices of many goods have been affected, and although these merchants are still happily decorating their shops, they are still very worried about the general trend of price fluctuations.

Because of the flood just before the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Guozijian still had to "put lights" in front of the gate of Guozijian to pray, and encouraged the people to pray together on the "lantern stand" set up by the students of Guozijian.

Although there is no Qi Shao to preside over everything this year, with the experience of the Shangyuan Festival, the students of Guozijian are also familiar with sitting up, and if nothing else, this "putting out the lamp" prayer will become a long-term activity of Guozijian.

Gu Qing had actually changed the entire Da Chu in all aspects, but she didn't know it herself. The books told by the storytellers on the streets and alleys of the capital have long been "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the images of Li Shuo and Li Laoguo have been raised to a new height in the minds of these peddlers and pawns.

Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan, Lu Bu, Zhao Yun...... One by one, vivid characters have become heroes that people talk about, even women's families, when talking about Mrs. Gan and Diao Chan, they can't help but bow their heads and sigh "Women are not easy".

Gu Qing walked through the East Market with the support of Mama Hua, and saw that there were many more lanterns with themes such as "Three Ying Dou Lu Bu", "Taoyuan Three Knots", and "Warm Wine and Cutting Huaxiong" this year, and she felt more and more emotional.

Due to the floods in Jiangnan, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has not yet been published, but by the latest autumn, the major bookstores and bookstores in Dachu will gradually begin to sell on the shelves. At that time, what "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" will bring to Da Chu and what it will bring to the Li family, Gu Qing is very much looking forward to it.

Gu Qing is not in good health this year, so he is only going to go shopping in Dongshi, and then go to the moat to put a river lantern, and then he is about to leave for home. However, she agreed that Li Ming and Li Zhao's two children would stay and play, and they could go back later.

Li Rui and Li Jun do not play with Gu Qing, but free activities, although Gu Qing feels a little pity, but the children are older, they always have their own communication, now Li Zhao and Li Ming are still young, and when they are older, maybe they will also have their own activities, and they can no longer accompany her to the capital at night.

Thinking about it like this, Gu Qing was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't even lift his spirits when shopping.

"Grandma, let's go buy a river lantern!" Li Ming pointed to the stalls along the river with great interest. In addition to the people who put the lamps, the rest are the lamp sellers.

The family general of the Xinguo Mansion guarded the masters and squeezed out a road to a stall selling lamps, Gu Qing and the children picked for a while, and each took a boat lamp.

"Chenghui, a total of one or two or four dollars." The stall owner smiled from ear to ear. These nobles chose high-quality river lanterns, and the price was not cheap, just three, and they sold for a lot of silver.

And this kind of river lantern also has a gimmick, which wants to be loved by little ladies and scholars. It's just that he didn't expect that the old people and children would like it, and unexpectedly, he was even more delighted.

Xiangyun paid the money, and the boss took out three impermeable thick flower notes, the flower notes were not small, and they were about the same size as the bottom of the boat lamp after being folded in half, he smiled and handed the flower notes over, and smiled at Gu Qing and the two children:

"Old lady, little master, this is the wishing card of this ship lamp. This can be folded in half and placed in the boat lamp, and float far away with the boat lamp down the water. You can write your wishes, or you can write some words of blessing, and put them in this lamp, which is also a kind of sustenance. ”

"The store will do business." Gu Qing praised the shopkeeper, "It's just that there is one more wishing card, and the shopkeeper's boat lamp will immediately stop being cheesy." ”

The old lady praised it falsely. That's not what I'm thinking. Speaking of this boat lamp, there is another good story. On the Shangyuan Festival of a certain year, a scholar who was preparing for the spring festival put a lantern by the river, perhaps out of a joke, and wrote a poem, which said that if he inscribed the name on his gold list, the person who picked up the river lantern went to him with the river lantern, and he would definitely fulfill one of the people's wishes. ”

The boss saw that the people in front of the stall were all old people and children, thinking that they might like to listen to stories, so he talked about a past incident in the early years of Zhenyuan.

"Later, this scholar really won the title of the gold list, and after the high school champion, after the Golden Palace became famous, he was named Langzhong, and he ascended to the ......sky in one step."

Li Ming bit his ear softly with his grandmother: "This shopkeeper is talking about Qiu Mu's father, and only this champion in Da Chu was directly named Langzhong." Brother Qi became a housekeeper, thanks to this champion who made an exception back then. ”

He won't admit that he has always wanted to take a champion home, so he knows the origins of several champions in Da Chu.

The stall owner didn't know the identities of the lamp sellers in front of Lu Dao, and he still continued to tell the story of the champion.

"Since ancient times, there has been a convention of putting a river lantern and returning a lamp. If you put a lamp down, you have to pick it up in exchange. As a result, the champion's river lantern was picked up by a young woman, and she remembered the signature on the wishing card. After the title of the champion gold list, the girl's family held the river lantern to find it, wanting to use it as evidence to achieve the good of Qin and Jin, and later the champion really married this young lady, and achieved a good story of a splendid relationship. ”

"Grandma, he lied. The Qiu family is the Gaomen of Liangzhou, and Qiu Mu's mother is the Zheng family of Xingyang, how can they become relatives because of a river lamp. This boss is not sincere, he wants to sell lamps and wants to go crazy! Li Ming shook his head, and the little adult spit in Gu Qing's ear.

Gu Qing felt that this story was about three points true and seven points false. If there is no such thing as this river lantern, I am afraid that this boss will not swear so much, and dare to take the marriage of a big man as an anecdote. But this marriage can be successful, I'm afraid it is also with what Li Ming said, Qiu Mu's mother herself is from a big family, and her mother's family is good, plus this coincidence is in it, it seems more and more like a good couple.

Gu Qing poked Li Ming's forehead with a smile, signaling him not to say much, first thanked the boss for the story, and then asked the boss for a pen and paper, and wrote it on the wishing card.

She felt that no one in the world could fulfill her wish, and what she wanted most was to return to the modern age, but she didn't even know how she came to be, let alone go back.

"Grandma, what are you going to write?" Li Ming stood on tiptoe and looked at his grandmother curiously.

Gu Qing covered the boat note he had written and glared at Li Ming.

"If you want others to see it, it won't work!"

"What, this is all a lie to a child, how can grandma be like a child...... " Li Ming looked at his grandmother who looked like a naughty child with amusement, and also took a pen and wrote on the flower note.

What to write about?

He looked at the osmanthus painted on the left side of the flower note, and somehow remembered the "Toad Palace Folding Gui", and suddenly his eyebrows and eyes were raised, and he felt that this was very good.

In a moment of joy, Li Ming picked up his pen and made a small poem, the meaning of the poem is the same as that of Qiu Jing, saying that if he wins the champion in the coming year, the person who picks up the boat lamp can come to him, and he invites him/her to have a meal.

He didn't dare to write a promise to others casually, what if the one who picked up the river lantern was a female worm?

Li Zhao grabbed the pen, thought about it, and wrote the words "I want to marry the fairy master" on the flower paper in a dignified manner, and then signed the "box", folded it in half and put it on the deck of the ship's lamp.

Looking at it this way, among the three grandparents and grandchildren, he wrote the fastest.

Gu Qing relied on the fact that no one would know who wrote the Dao, and mentioned the "water tune song head" on the flower note. The signature is "Gu Qing".

Accompanied by their families, the three of them put the boat lamp into the river, and after seeing that they were drifting farther and farther away, and they were completely out of sight, they asked their subordinates to borrow a long bamboo pole and fished three lamps from a distance.

Gu Qing was a pink lamp, and as soon as she picked up the stick, she was immediately happy.

It reads, "Find your best as soon as possible." ”

Gu Qing shook his head and hurriedly put the lamp back into the water.

She was neither a young and handsome scholar nor an old man under the moon, and this girl used the boat lamp as a wishing bottle, so she should leave the lamp to the right person.

Li Zhao's wishing card reads: "Please my mother, she is pregnant with a son in her belly." ”

Li Zhao looked at it a few times in a daze, and didn't know what to do.

He can't be a son.

Only Li Ming picked up the wishing card and smacked at it several times, looking at the momentum, as if he was very angry.

Gu Qing curiously took the brand made of thick paper, and Li Zhao also leaned his head over.

I saw only one sentence written on it:

"Whoever catches my lamp will be unlucky today."

For a while, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The author has something to say: the neck is uncomfortable again, and I overslept after the physiotherapy, so I got late. There is also a shift in the evening, which will be around 8 o'clock.
