Chapter 272: Spring Outing
After Lu Jing accepted the two-room concubine room, he and Daiyu, Yinglian, and Zijuan had fun in the back house all day long, or admired the flowers and waited for the moon, drank to the moon, or stroked the piano in the idle wind, and played shadows on the moon, indulging in the gentle boudoir music.
February is coming to an end, Lu Jing saw that the wind and the sun were beautiful and the wind was smooth in recent days, so he had the idea of going out to play, thinking that March 3 happened to be the Shangsi Festival, and the birthday of Emperor Xuanyuan was a festival for drinking and feasting by the water and visiting the suburbs, so he told Daiyu, Yinglian, and Zijuan about this idea.
Daiyu smiled happily: "The husband's proposal is just right, I haven't gone out to play since I came to the capital, and the concubine is thinking about taking a few sisters out for a walk one day!" ”
After hearing this, Yinglian instantly recalled the previous things, and said with a smile: "In the past, when I was in Yangzhou, at the beginning of every March, the lord would take me and the eldest girl out for a spring outing, but now I think about it, I haven't been to the suburbs for four or five years." ”
Daiyu was a little envious in her eyes after hearing this, if she had been living in Yangzhou, she and her husband would have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, and they would often go out to play together.
Lu Jing smiled and asked, "In that case, do you also think about whether you plan to fly butterflies or kite flying this spring outing?" ”
Ying Lianjiao smiled: "Let's fly a kite, now that there are many flowers in the suburbs, how can there be so many pink butterflies to flutter." ”
Daiyu pointed at the two of them and smiled: "Since it's a spring outing, are there only these two things to do, it can be seen that you are all people who don't understand!" ”
Yinglian hurriedly begged Daiyu and said, "Sister, if you have any good ideas, please tell me and listen to it." ”
Daiyu said with a smile: "When the time comes, let's choose an open place, you can go green, flutter butterflies, or fly kites, as for the husband, you can set up a wine curtain there, take a few girls to sell wine in it, and when we are tired of playing, we will go to your wine shop to drink, isn't it interesting!" ”
Yinglian was pleasantly surprised: "Sister, this idea is good, when the time comes, we can also compose poems while drinking, and when we are drunk, we can also learn from those celebrities. ”
Daiyu added for her with a smile: "Sakura asked Tan Lang with a smile: Hua Jiao or a concubine is strong?" ”
Yinglian said shyly: "Sister, don't make fun of my sister, with my sister here, how can any flower compare to my sister." ”
Lu Jing saw the two of them joking, and also joined in, and said with a smile: "It's a little inappropriate to sell wine for her husband, if your wife sells wine, she can still be a pawn." ”
Daiyu shook her head and smiled: "The concubine body is not Zhuo Wenjun, or Yinglian should be it, or Zijuan!" ”
Yinglian hurriedly shook her head and smiled: "It's still appropriate for my sister, my sister's talent and appearance are comparable to Wenjun, if my sister forcibly acts, it will be a bit of an imposthension." ”
Zijuan also hurriedly shook her head, and Daiyu smiled: "Sister doesn't have to be humble, your appearance is not worse than mine." ”
After a few people joked for a while, Lu Jing turned to the topic and said: "You guys will take advantage of the two days to make some kites out, and I will ask Lu Zheng and them to pay attention to what are the suitable places in the suburbs." ”
Daiyu and Yinglian both nodded in favor, Zijuan still respected Daiyu's opinion, and then several people informed Lu Zhiyu, Li Wen, and Li Qi of the news.
Lu Zhiyu and the three of them were also very happy after hearing this, so they made kites, wine curtains, tents, and discussed the preparation of various mountain dishes and wild mushrooms.
On the third day of the first month of March, Lu Jing took Daiyu, Lu Zhiyu, Li Wen, Li Qi, Yinglian, and Zijuan to Bei'er Mountain outside the city.
Everyone got out of the carriage, and Daiyu saw several rows of green willows and peach trees beside the embankment of the mountain stream, and said with a smile: "This place is very interesting, the peach and willow green are like paintings." ”
A few people were enjoying the scenery, and they saw a few shepherd boys coming, all riding on oxen, some playing piccolo, and some flying kites.
In the shade of the willow tree, there are also some thatched huts, there are also hotels, the treetops hold the wine curtain, and there are also tourists who bring wine and food to go out there, sit on the ground and drink, three one save, five a cluster.
Under the willow shade, there are small bridges and flowing water, and there are also people fishing there.
Lu Jing chose a location, ordered someone to set up a tent, spread red felt, and put the pots and utensils in order.
Daiyu, Yinglian, Lu Zhiyu, Li Wen, Li Qi, Zijuan, Qingwen, Youxia, An Lan and others all brought kites, and everyone turned around the hillside and came to an open place and began to fly kites.
Daiyu made a kite in the shape of Qingluan, a dragonfly kite in Yinglian, Lu Zhiyu in a crab kite, Li Wen in a goldfish style kite, Li Qi in a crane kite, Zijuan and Youxia put a wild goose style or a centipede style, but Qingwen made the kite in a beauty style and let it go high.
Lu Jing stood next to the wine shop and saw a group of beauties running and shuttling, the fairy robes fluttering, pleasing to the eye, and suddenly saw Daiyu waving his sleeves and beckoning, so he ran over.
Daiyu took out a kite and said, "This is what Sister Yinglian and I made for you, and my husband will also fly it!" ”
Lu Jing saw that it was a butterfly kite and let himself fly, is this to let him not pick flowers casually, smiled and flew the kite as he said.
Everyone looked up and watched, a total of more than a dozen kites, all rising in the sky, very interesting.
After everyone finished flying the kite, they played separately, and Qingqiu, Rouju, and Qing'er found a place to flutter butterflies to play.
Zijuan, Qingwen, Youxia, and Anlan laid out felt, placed wine fruits, sat on the ground, and enjoyed the flowers together.
Daiyu, Yinglian, Lu Zhiyu, Li Wen, and Li Qi looked at the flowers everywhere at will, climbed the mountain with the view of the water, and then went to the wine store to drink.
Lu Jing saw that there were a lot of people around the hillside, so he asked Lu Lian to see what was going on.
Not long after, Lu Lian came back and told that there was a Taoist priest who was looking at fortune telling, because even a few people were extremely accurate, and all the people surrounded them, asking long and short questions there.
Lu Jing was a little curious when he heard this, and it was rare to encounter strange people, so he asked several women from Lu Zheng's family and Lu Bei's family to look at the wine shop, and he walked over to see the excitement.
After squeezing into the crowd, I saw a Taoist priest dressed in a green sermon robe, holding a bamboo palm whisk in his hand, and a hexagram in front of him.
The Taoist boy next to him stood with a sail curtain in his hand, and wrote on it: "Good judgment of good fortune and evil." There is a line of small words next to it: "Passing by your place, stay and make a name for yourself." ”
After Lu Jing rescued Yinglian back then, he visited strange people and strange things, but all he encountered were charlatans.
At this moment, seeing this Taoist priest's childish face and crane hair, the divine light in his eyes was naturally revealed and contained inside, with three locks of white beard, fluttering like a fairy.
Just looking at his appearance, I feel that even if he is not a cultivator like a leper monk or a foot-breaking Taoist, he is also a person of extraordinary character.
Therefore, I was aroused by curiosity, and I wanted to see his means of showing people, so I squeezed to the front.
As soon as the Taoist priest saw Lu Jing, he immediately got up and said, "Where did the noble man come from?" Please wait, there is still a word for the poor road. ”
Lu Jing was shocked in his heart, could he see his origin, and hurriedly said: "The Taoist has seen the wrong person, he is an idle person in his later life, and he accompanied his family to come here to play today, and he has no intention of looking at his appearance. ”
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he wanted to turn around and leave, and at the same time secretly said in his heart: "It seems that you will have to avoid these Buddhist people in the future." ”
The Taoist priest hurriedly stopped Lu Jing and said: "You don't have to hide it, this is not a place to speak, and the poor road is not a local, because I knew that there was a meeting today, so I came all the way from Longhu Mountain to come for you, and it is not a day to wait here." Once fate has arrived, how can you miss it? Your Excellency, is the poor way a charlatan? Why refuse to be poor thousands of miles away! ”
Lu Jing was even more surprised when he heard that he came for himself, and he was also a little curious about his intentions, and when he saw that he couldn't refuse, he arched his hand and said: "The Taoist is serious, and the word noble person dare not be taken seriously, even so, he will obey the order in his later life." ”
When the Taoist priest heard this, his face smiled, and then he asked the Taoist boy to put away the hexagram stall, and then straightened the sleeves of his robe, brushed the dust, and made a bow to the surroundings, and said with a smile: "Neglect everyone, please come another day, forgive the poor and the Taoist will not be accompanied." ”
Everyone saw that since Lu Jing arrived, this Taoist priest behaved strangely, and called Lu Jing a nobleman, so they wanted to see what was going on, who thought that this Taoist priest actually gave this salute, which clearly meant to drive everyone away, but he was respectful and respectful, and he couldn't find fault with him, so everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and left with some regret.
When the Taoist priest saw everyone leaving, he smiled and said, "Nobleman, please come with the poor Dao!" ”
Lu Jing hurriedly apologized: "The family of the late student is playing here, please forgive the late student for not being able to stay away." ”
The Taoist priest pointed to a thatched hut not far away, and said with a light smile: "Your nobles don't have to worry, the place where the poor Dao wants to take Your Excellency to settle down is only a few hundred steps away. ”
When Lu Jing saw the grass house, he nodded, so he summoned Lu Lian, told him where he was, and told him that if his wife asked, let her know.
Lu Lian looked at the Taoist priest with a little suspicion, and asked if he would let Chen Ji accompany him, and when he saw Lu Jing shaking his head and refusing, he took the order and left.
