Chapter 33: The Day of the Yuanchen
Looking at the child, Wei Ci's eyes softened, pinched his little nose affectionately, and said with a smile: "Your mother is right, Xuan Xuan is the baby bump of father and mother." In the future, whoever dares to talk nonsense, tell his father, and his father will kill him. ”
When he said this, Wei Ci hugged the little guy, and his eyes were gloomy and terrifying.
Sanniang re-cooked the rice, and the bowl of meat was directly stewed into a pot of soup with scoop water, no way, it was too wasteful to lose, and it was too salty to eat, so it could only be cut into small pieces and boiled with water.
When it was cooked and brought back into the house, Wei Ci was teaching Xuanxuan to write, stroke by stroke, and the father and son were writing and teaching extremely seriously.
Those pen, ink, paper and inkstones were still picked up in the small room on the edge of the last cleaning, and they were all dusted in the wooden cabinet next to them, thinking that they were left by the family members who left the previous family. Sanniang thought that Xuan Xuan had also reached the age of enlightenment, and there was no private school or anything to send him to in the surrounding hundreds of miles, so she kept it and planned to teach him by herself.
"Husband, Xuanxuan, come over and eat the meal and then write."
"Yes, lady."
"Okay, mother."
The father and son replied to her in unison, obediently put down the pen, and sat back at the square table with the big one in his arms. Seeing that the original ingredients have been renewed, Wei Ci couldn't help but sigh, it's good to have a good wife at home!
Daqisu has the custom of Yuanchen, and most of the grain and grass were destroyed last time, and a new wave of grain and grass is still being raised. Yes, this Yuanchen in the north is a little lonely. Fortunately, there is a deep mountain and old forest not far from the north, and these days Huo Xiaoguang took a team of cavalry to hunt, but he hunted a lot of game, and barely let the soldiers have a bite to eat for the New Year.
On the day of Yuanchen, after Sanniang changed Xuanxuan into new clothes, she found Xiaoya and Cui Niu. As soon as someone gave them a little red dress, Cuiniu was fatter, so she could only add two injections. I tied two small buns for them with red thread, and they looked cute.
Xiao Bao Niang and Cui Niu Niang looked at their little girl being dressed up with joy, and almost didn't recognize it. Before the two were bought to be good families, they also worked as embroiderers in large families, and they were a little surprised to see at a glance that the material on the girl's body was good material. knew that Sanniang was kind enough to give the children a Yuanchen gift, and they all received this heart and secretly remembered her goodness.
Seeing that his sisters were wearing beautiful red jackets, Xiaobao glanced at the gray jackets on his body, and thought that they were also new, so he happily ran around in circles among several people, happier than he had a new jacket.
Looking at Xiaobao, Xuan Xuan pulled his mother's hand and whispered, "Mother, can I take Xiaobao to change the calf?" ”
Sanniang was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile: "You take Xiaobao in, and my mother will change it for him when she comes back." ”
The calf was originally for Xiaobao, and I thought about waiting to hold him to change it!
Xiao Bao Niang only went home, but I didn't expect that my son would change into a jubilant little red jacket again, looking at the material was better than the girls, and immediately grabbed Xiao Bao, afraid that he would stain the jacket, and nervously said to Sanniang: "Sanniang, this... Wouldn't that be too expensive. The child is still young, and he is also fast, what a pity it is to buy such a good material and get dirty! No, no, let's go, my sister-in-law will go and return the silver to you in the afternoon. ”
Seeing that she was going to take it off for Xiaobao, Sanniang couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly stopped: "Sister-in-law, this year is the first Yuanchen year I have ever had with you, and it is a meeting gift for Xiaobao, so I won't buy it next year." Otherwise, he would have been sad when he saw that his brothers and sisters all wore red jackets, and he didn't have them. ”
"No, no, I know this stinky boy. As far as his mouth is greedy, he never worries about wearing these clothes. ”
Sanniang looked at Xiaobao, Xiaobao looked at the maltose in Cuiniu's hand, and her saliva was about to reach her chin.
“……”
Belch! I used to think that the little guy was shy, but I really didn't realize that he was a little gluttonous cat.
Sanniang finally persuaded Xiaobao Niang for a long time, so she didn't mention the matter of exchanging the silver back, but her eyes were on Xiaobao all day, for fear that he would be naughty and dirty and ruin his clothes.
However, Xiaobao himself is also well-behaved, he only runs with Xuanxuan, and he is even more well-behaved when he has food, and he will never run around when he sits.
This has to make Sanniang wonder if Xiaobao likes Xuanxuan so much, does Xuanxuan often give him candy to eat? !
The women and children in Huangsha Village go to the barracks to eat collectively every year during the first birthday, and although there is a shortage of grain and grass this year, it is no exception. In the evening, the husbands of all families had half an hour of leisure to pick up their wives and children, and those who had died in battle followed with their children.
When Sanniang's family of three arrived, the wind was a little strong, and several large bonfires had been lit in the center of the camp, and many soldiers were sitting around, some accompanying their wives and children. Some sat quietly, thinking about their loved ones.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ci watched her stare at the campfire, squeezed her hand, and held the little one with the other.
Sanniang raised her head and met his eyes, and promised: "Husband, I will accompany you every Yuanchen in the future." ”
"Xuanxuan too." Not to be outdone, the little one is guaranteed.
Holding his wife and children, Wei Ci smiled warmly: "Okay, let's live together as a family in the future." ”
in the main ledger.
The king of Zhenbei sat in the first place, saw that everyone had arrived, and led a group of generals to the bonfire majestically, looked at the soldiers in the cold wind, and said loudly: "All the soldiers listen to the order, everything is the same as old this year, the king and the generals will guard the camp, and the soldiers will celebrate the New Year with peace of mind." Only the military camp is the focus, and each person can only drink one bowl of alcohol, and many of them will be dealt with by military law. ”
Tens of thousands of troops shouted in unison: "The last general listens to the order, thank the prince." "The voice is loud and terrifying.
When Sanniang and Wei Ci came out of his tent, he had already changed into silver and white armor. Like the backbone of heaven and earth, he climbed the wooden ladder of the lookout with a solemn expression, and stood motionless on the lookout at the Yingkou.
The soldiers are also the people, and the people are also the sons, the reason why the king of Zhenbei is so loved by all the people and respected by the soldiers. It's just that his old man loves the people like a son, and he loves the soldiers like a son.
This night is destined to be long, but looking at the straight figure on the lookout, Sanniang feels that the night can be slower and longer, so that she can pay more attention to him. Because her husband is a great hero who stands up to the sky.
Wei Ci, three lives are fortunate to meet you.
On the lookout, Wei Ci felt her staring, lowering her eyes slightly. In the night, looking at each other, she smiled and bent her eyebrows, his eyes were gentle, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
My wife, three lives are fortunate to join hands with Qing.
……
The Great Enlightenment Imperial City, the palace dinner, singing and dancing.
When the wine reached the second round, the dancing girl in the center of the banquet suddenly changed her previous delicate state. The grosgrain around the waist was pulled and they all gathered in a circle. At the moment when the silk flew and fell, a bright red and sassy shadow suddenly appeared in the center of the dancing girls, and slowly fell into the eyes of everyone in the hall.
Qingying's owner covered his face with a half-veil, revealing only a pair of affectionate eyebrows. Those eyes, as if wearing a desire to speak, looked at the emperor in the high position with affection, and the corners of his lips under the light veil rose slightly.
"Bang" someone beat a drum outside.
Suddenly, the entire hall fell into darkness, and only a few green lights were left in the place of the bright red figure. With the dull drum beat outside the hall, the woman in the center of the dancing girl pulled out a soft sword from her waist, and the lotus flower walked lightly, like a light hong, and waved her waist.
This ingenious dance stunned the ministers and officials present.
Some of the courtiers' family members looked at Lang Jun's fascinated eyes beside them, and turned their heads angrily to stare at the woman in the center of the song and dance, their teeth creaking. However, the palace is important, and no one dares to go wild.
The emperor on the highest throne stared at the figure tightly, and his eyes were deep.
As soon as the dance stopped, the woman slowly took off the light veil, revealing a heroic but charming little face. When the officials present saw the woman who took off the veil, they were so frightened that they hurriedly lowered their heads, hurriedly poured a glass of wine into their mouths to suppress the shock, and did not dare to have any thoughts.
Mother, this butterfly concubine is too bold.
As a palace concubine, it's just not dignified and elegant, but she dances with the dancing girls in revealing clothes, it's so shameless!
However, the emperor in the high position did not say anything, and everyone only dared to lower their heads and dare not speak.
Yu Fan looked at Liu Fan, and she was a little unpredictable in her heart, but she chose to believe Zhao Yin once. With a flick of his wide sleeves, the shadow jumped towards him and fell into his arms impartially.
"Ask Your Majesty for your grace."
In front of the public, this coquettish and bold words and deeds and frivolous and debauched behavior shocked everyone present to want to be deaf.
As a palace maid, she is so shameless, it is for the demon concubine!
Looking at the person in his arms, the corners of Liu Fan's mouth hooked slightly, and his body became a little restless. raised his hand and hooked her delicate ear, the smile on the corner of her mouth expanded, and she got up directly with the person in her arms, leaving behind the ministers and officials who had entered the palace to go to the spring banquet and strode away.
Chang Qing, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly ordered the eunuch palace maid to follow and serve, and he stood next to the high position, shouting at the top of his voice: "The banquet is over, and all the officials are up." ”
