Chapter 214: Shangyuan Festival
It didn't take much effort, and the frightened Tao Pozi was brought in by Linlang.
Kou Shi glanced at her and wrote lightly: "Now that you are old, I should also send you out to retire." ”
Tao Pozi knelt on the ground: "Old lady, the slave has been following you, you are all at this age, if you go out, don't let people laugh to death." ”
"Then you will torture my granddaughter-in-law and let her be laughed at by the girls and mothers-in-law in the courtyard!" Ko's voice was deep.
"Slave maid...... Slaves don't dare! Tao Pozi bowed down, her shoulders trembling.
Gu Qingzhu on the side naturally knew how could she be like this to her as a grandmother, not to mention, in Lao Yaling, they were still suffering together, just by virtue of the identity of the young lady, even a grandmother who had accumulated years would not dare to rashly come forward to harm her.
"Grandmother, don't worry, Mama Tao is all for the good of her granddaughter-in-law, besides, I also want to learn as soon as possible, and help my mother take care of the house in the future, so as not to lose the face of the Mu family." Gu Qingzhu obediently persuaded skillfully.
Kou patted her hand and said in a soothing tone: "You still understand etiquette, endure hardships, and intercede for her, listen to grandmother's words, this is not an overnight thing, you have to take it slowly, if you hurt your body, it will be worth the loss." ”
"What my grandmother said is that my granddaughter-in-law wrote it down." Gu Qingzhu nodded slightly.
Kou turned to Tao Pozi on the ground and said: "Speaking of which, you are also an old man beside me, I have dealt with a lot of big and small things, and I have never seen you make such a mistake, I value you, so I let you serve in front of the young lady, how can it be that a few days have passed, but it has become like this, today the young lady intercedes for you, I will temporarily note it, if there is a next time, it will be severely punished!" ”
"Old Madam Xie, young lady!" Tao Pozi lay on the ground and said continuously.
Kou waved his hand at Linlang, and Linlang pulled the stumbling Tao Pozi out.
Because of this, she lost her appetite for a while, Kou only drank a spoonful of old duck mushroom soup, Mu Jincheng changed her method to make her happy, and then reluctantly ate half a bowl of lotus seed porridge, and Mu Jincheng and Gu Qingzhu ate some together.
Since then, Mu Jincheng got up every morning to go to private school, Gu Qingzhu still learned the rules every day, Kou took pity on them for their hard work, so they were exempted from asking for peace in the morning, Mama Tao didn't dare to be like before, but a lot of practice every day has allowed Gu Qingzhu to learn to stand and walk decently.
Learn to sit today, how to sit in everyone's ladies, how to sit as a daughter-in-law, in front of the elders, sit at the same table with peers, and when you meet your subordinates, all kinds of rules remember that people's brains hurt.
Gu Qingzhu rubbed the corners of his forehead, and couldn't help but think, if he was calculated according to this rule, he would be making a fool of himself almost every day these days, and it would be no wonder that he was looked down upon by his mother-in-law from a wealthy family.
She took a few sips of tea and continued to practice, although she would look back on her family in the future, these red tape were basically useless things, but Mrs. Mu was really good to her, and she should be thoughtful in front of her.
In this way, the days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
On this day, a day off in the private school, after breakfast, Mu Jincheng leaned on the brocade couch, watched Gu Qingzhu practice salutes, in the morning, bent over and tossed more than a hundred times, he really couldn't bear it, found a reason, and sent Mama Tao out.
"Are you tired?" Mu Jincheng handed her the hot tea.
Gu Qingzhu took a sip and said with a light smile: "I'm used to standing every day, and it's good to be tired, but I keep nodding and bending over today, making me a little dizzy." ”
Mu Jincheng said distressedly: "Why do you have to ask for hardship, I will give my grandmother tomorrow, let's not learn this Laoshizi!" ”
"Forget it, I've learned almost, I've walked ninety-nine steps in one hundred steps, and there is not much of this one, if you intercede for me, I won't say anything about my bitterness, and I will make the elders angry, thinking that we are mud and can't go to the wall." Gu Qingzhu persuaded in a low voice.
Mu Jincheng thought for a while, and then said: "Then let's not practice today, let's go to Dongshi to see the lanterns in the evening!" ”
Gu Qingzhu shook his head and didn't want to go: "Last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, I saw the lantern show, and today is not the same, what do you see?" ”
"I heard from people in private schools that craftsmen from Yan'an City came to participate in the Lantern Festival this year, and the people from the Imperial City must be different from before." Mu Jincheng strongly encouraged.
The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. What a romantic thing it was, and he had wanted to hang out with her for a long time.
Their dinner was the glutinous rice balls eaten in Songzhi Courtyard, Mu Shaotang and Mu Shaotai had entertainment, Luo Shuangchuan had to take care of the business of the restaurant, and the Lu family was fasting on the fifteenth day of the first month, so only the three of them ate together today, Mu Jincheng swallowed the rice balls in three or two bites, and the Kou family urged him to eat slowly.
Mu Jincheng smiled and said, "Grandmother, Qingzhu and I will go to see the lanterns for a while, do you want the flower basket lantern or the mushroom lantern?" I'll bring it back to you. ”
Kou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Where does grandmother want these, you remember to buy a lotus lantern to hang in your house." ”
"Why buy a lotus lantern?" Mu Jincheng was surprised.
Kou Shi glanced at Gu Qingzhu and said with a smile: "Let you buy it, you can buy it, but it would be better if someone sent one to you!" ”
Mu Jincheng and Gu Qingzhu glanced at each other, looking confused.
Young people love to play and be lively, and Kou naturally knows that she does not keep them, but urges: "If you want to go, hurry up, there will be more people and you won't be able to crowd for a while." ”
With permission, Mu Jincheng and Gu Qingzhu got into the carriage and went out, and Baoying and Chunying followed.
When they arrived in Dongshi, Mu Jincheng and Gu Qingzhu got out of the car, and at a glance, the huge venue was brightly lit, the flow of people was crowded, and the rich sons in brocade clothes and the young ladies with pearl and jade hairpins could be seen everywhere.
On this day, it is elegant to secretly date a loved one, or pretend to meet someone you like, so young men and women will go out early.
"Give me the purse." Mu Jincheng stretched out his hand to Bao Ying while looking.
Bao Ying blinked his eyes and said, "What do you want to buy?" Small errands are just that. ”
"If you are told to bring it, you will bring it, what so much nonsense!" Mu Jincheng flicked a chestnut on his forehead.
Baoying took out his purse and handed it to him aggrievedly: "Why do you play me every time!" ”
Mu Jincheng untied the bulging purse, took out two pieces of silver and threw them to Baoying: "I'll go to the Lantern Festival with the young lady in a while, you are not allowed to follow!" ”
"How's that going to work!" Baoying was anxious all of a sudden, "If you want something to do, the little one can't live again!" ”
Mu Jincheng pretended to be evil and scolded fiercely: "You crow's mouth, either stay here and wait, or play by yourself, anyway, don't follow us!" ”
"Chunying, you persuade the master and the young lady." Bao hurriedly pulled the spring warbler's sleeve.
"Young Lady ......"
Chunying also felt that it was inappropriate, but as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Mu Jincheng: "It's useless for you to follow, I will still get rid of you in a while!" ”
Gu Qingzhu frowned and said, "Don't embarrass them!" ”
Mu Jincheng took her hand and said in a low voice: "In the past few days, one has been studying, the other is learning the rules, like a bird in a cage, it is difficult to come out, and there are people following, how uncomfortable, you believe me, I will definitely be able to protect you." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Gu Qingzhu to reply, he pulled her away, Baoying and Chunying hurriedly followed, but the crowd was surging, and they quickly dispersed.
Mu Jincheng looked back, but he couldn't see Baoying and Chunying, so he slowed down and enjoyed the lanterns with Gu Qingzhu all the way, lingering in various stalls selling masks and sugar gourd trinkets.
"Don't pull me, it's not good for people to see." Gu Qingzhu took the sugar gourd he bought and said.
Mu Jincheng took a bite of the sour and sweet hawthorn, shook his head and said, "There are people everywhere, what if you get lost?" ”
"I'm not a three-year-old child, how can I be as terrible as you say!" Gu Qingzhu struggled.
As the two were talking, a shopkeeper next to them shouted: "Guess the lantern riddle and send the lantern!" ”
Mu Jincheng had to let go of her hand and said, "Let's go guess too." ”
A circular verandah is temporarily set up here, all kinds of lanterns are hung on the eaves, and there is a riddle written on red paper hanging below, as long as you guess the riddle, you can take away the lantern hanging the riddle.
Mu Jincheng deliberately went to find the lotus lantern, there are only two lights in the whole verandah, one is the mystery of "half of the spring and autumn", and the other is "like a bird and not a bird, spread its wings and travel at night, meet people, and draw beams and fly screens." ”
Mu Jincheng couldn't think about it, and in the constant shouting of the shop, the passing tourists were attracted here, and one after another people guessed other riddles, picked up the lanterns and left.
Or these two lotus lanterns are particularly good-looking, many people come to guess, but they are all judged wrong by the store, and they shake their heads in annoyance and leave.
"Gong ...... Childe, look at this, yesterday's day can't be kept, it's clearly a first word. ”
"Childe, look at this again, one person, one heart and one mouth, it is just right."
……
Not far away, two handsome young men came, one was tall, seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing an apricot yellow cloud brocade robe, extravagant, and the other was a little shorter, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing water blue silk clothes, clever and lively, if no one came all the way, they already had two or three lanterns in their hands.
"Wow, Childe, this lantern is beautiful!"
They quickly walked up to Mu Jincheng and Gu Qingzhu and looked up at the two lotus lanterns.
"Half of the Spring and Autumn Period?" The boy in the apricot yellow brocade robe picked up the red letter and read a sentence.
His voice was as crisp and elegant as a jewel.
"This is a Qin character!" Gu Qingzhu said suddenly.
The boy couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at her, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised: "How can the girl guess?" ”
Mu Jincheng was also very puzzled, they had been here, he couldn't guess, Gu Qingzhu didn't say anything, at this moment, a son came, why did she suddenly guess?
Gu Qingzhu bent down and saluted: "We have been guessing here for a while, just listening to this little brother, I guessed the front, I suddenly thought of disassembling and reorganizing the words Spring and Autumn, and I got a Qin character, and I don't know if it's right." ”
The shopkeeper walked over, took off the lantern with his hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations, it is the word Qin." ”
Mu Jincheng took it happily, at this moment, he was even happier than he guessed, Gu Qingzhu was really very smart, just by listening to others guessing riddles, he mastered the skills and guessed in one fell swoop.
"It turns out that the girl can't guess, but she can't guess?" The gaze of the prince in the cloud brocade robe swept over Gu Qingzhu's clothes, and he said with some uncertainty.
