44, the sea of lights
During the New Year's Festival, people often sing in the forest mansion, and a theater building is built in the mansion, and the top is a complex wooden caisson to diffuse the sound. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test Today, the old lady rushed to listen to the play at the end of the year, and the whole house gathered in the theater, which was very lively.
Lin Yulan was confined by her father Lin Zhengtang for a long time, and she was pardoned by her younger brother Lin Bai for giving the old lady a parrot, allowing her to come out of Xianglan to breathe. When passing by Yimei Courtyard, he saw that the courtyard door was open and the courtyard was empty, so he asked Lotus Flower: "Is the little fool still in the palace and hasn't come back?" “
Lotus shook her head and didn't know: The old lady was on guard against Lin Yulan. Even the servants with Xianglanju were cold-eyed, and they never told them about the seven girls.
Lin Yulan peeped frequently, and when she saw that the boudoir door was also open, she said, "Why is this little hoof of Biyu slacking?" You don't even close the door when you go out. She said and walked into the Yimei Courtyard, and Lotus looked around, and saw that no one followed in fearfully.
Her girl is now on the cusp. It is the time for Taoguang to recuperate, if there is any more moth, the old lady will definitely send her to the broken temple to meditate.
Lin Yulan saw that the room was quiet, and the lotus petal plain orchid under the window had already revealed its stamens, and the branches and leaves were green. She sneered: "This flower is mine, but the little fool keeps it for himself." She wouldn't be able to branch me if I wanted to. “
There was a small stove under the window, and tea was boiling on it. Lin Yulan opened the window, splashed the water in the flower pot, and poured boiling water into it. Lotus looked at it and was secretly shocked: "Girl, this is a gift from the prince!" “
Lin Yulan put down the teapot: "What are you afraid of?" Everyone in the house went to see the play, who saw us enter the Yimei Courtyard? “
She left as if nothing happened, and the lotus looked at the orchid, which was still oily, but the roots had been burned, and it took several days to see that she had been poisoned. At this time, it is too late to rescue, let alone a few days later?
Her girl is really a little vicious.
Lin Qingmei didn't know anything about it. After the year, everything recovered, and the pace of spring came quietly, Zhao Ling planned to take her to the garden. There are many gardens outside the inner city, the most famous is the private garden built by King Ren of the former dynasty, there are 70 acres, pavilions and pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, mixed with good wood and famous flowers, willows and flowers everywhere, wonderful and endless. I don't see luxury, I only see Qinggui, quite Jiangnan style.
In the evening, Kong Ming lanterns were lit in the city, and tens of thousands of lights slowly rose and floated in the air, looking from Nioh Garden, a sea of lights. Zhao Ling asked, "Do you want Mei'er to put Kong Ming lanterns?" “
Xiao Qingmei nodded, and two small yellow doors came with the Kong Ming lanterns that had been lit. Zhao Ling said: "You can make a wish, the Kong Ming lantern floats to the sky, and the wish can be seen by the gods." “
The corners of Xiaoqingmei's lips curled: "Mei'er has to give birth to a lot of babies." “
Zhao Ling wrote with a pen: Many sons and many blessings. Later, he also wrote a wish: it is good to conclude two surnames as soon as possible.
When Shangyuan was full of lanterns in the city, Zhao Ling said: "Mei'er wants to see the sea of lights?" “
Xiao Qingmei nodded, and Zhao Ling led her to a plum garden. The yellow plum trees are dotted with lanterns, but they have not yet been lit. The moonlight is cold, like water shining all over.
The little green plum walks in the moonlight, sparse shadows, and the branches of the plum tree cast hideous shadows on the ground. She asked, "Brother Ling, where is the sea of lights here?" “
As soon as the words fell, thousands of lights in the plum garden flashed together, from near and far, and tens of thousands of red lights swayed gently among the trees. As far as the eye can see, only a piece of red can be seen, as bright as a galaxy. She couldn't suppress the joy in her heart. "Wow! Is it a lamp lit by the gods? Why so fast? There are so many lights! “
Zhao Ling smiled dotingly: "Mei'er likes it, and it's okay to let the gods light the lamp." “
Xiao Qingmei ran happily under the tree, and the two minks were also in high spirits, shuttling between the trees and her shoulders from time to time. She ran straight out of breath, her cheeks were slightly red, as if the color of the red lantern was printed on her face, and then she ran back and looked at Zhao Ling sincerely, her dark eyes reflected in the sea of lights, and in the sea of lights, Zhao Ling was dressed in white and golden, and his appearance was magnificent. Xiao Qingmei looked at him and only felt that he was so good, so good that he couldn't repay him.
"Brother Ling is so good to Mei'er." She stretched out her slender ten fingers and counted them one by one, "Take Mei'er to visit the night market, drink fine wine, put river lanterns, watch the sea of lights, and give Mei'er cute pets." Mei'er wanted to go to Ziyun Palace, but neither grandmother nor Cousin Shen took Mei'er there, only Brother Ling was willing to go. Well, many, many more. I can't count them. Brother Ling, why are you so good to Mei'er? “
Zhao Ling looked at her, his starry eyes were deep, and he pointed to something: "Because Mei'er is good to Brother Ling." “
After his death in his previous life, she was the only one who came to collect the body. King Wu's subordinate Tai Shi Ning saw her beauty and wanted to take it for himself. He lied to her and said, "If you promise me one thing, I will not cut off the prince's head." "Taishi Ning Sima Zhao's heart, how can a normal person not see his intentions? But she didn't understand, in order to save his body, she couldn't wait to agree.
Mei'er is stupid, but who knows Mei'er's deep love? My Mei'er, dig out your heart and lungs to repay you. What's the point?
Xiao Qingmei tilted her head and asked, "Brother Ling, the gods help light the lamp, will he cut the lamp and candle?" With so many lights, the gods will be very tired! “
Zhao Ling gently scratched her nose: "Where are the immortals?" Brother Ling is your immortal. Today's lamps and candles hide very small firecrackers, and each inch of wick is tied to one, which bursts from time to time, so as to save the need to cut the lamp and candle. “
Xiao Qingmei looked at him with adoring eyes: Brother Ling is so smart!
"Who's the one who lit the lamp?" Brother Ling has been with her all the time, and he doesn't have the kung fu to light the lamp!
"It's a line of fire, and the lanterns are strung with a line of fire, and the head of the fire can be lit at the same time, which is very convenient."
Quan An in the corner: It's trouble-free, but the corners of his mouth are blistering when he wears these fire wires to make these wicks!
Xiao Qingmei was moved and almost cried: "Brother Ling is so good to Mei'er, Mei'er must give you a lot of babies." “
The two of them drank on the ground in the plum garden, and the little Qingmei took out the old mother of Taishan from her arms, and said: "Old mother Taishan, Mei'er will take you out to play, you have to send the baby earlier!" She specially poured a glass of wine and put it in front of Taishan's mother, and Zhao Ling teased beside her: "If Taishan's mother drinks too much, her face should be red again." As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb to press the face of the clay puppet. Xiao Qingmei hurriedly stopped: "Brother Ling, you don't send the baby to Taishan's mother!" “
The second watch leaked, and the two walked out of Nioh Garden together. Today, the city is very lively, and tourists on both sides of the Bianhe River are weaving. The men and women who are married are affectionate and complain to each other, and the singer who rides a donkey walks slowly along the riverbank, and the rich boy who is escorted must be behind her. Silk and bamboo music came from the painting boat, and literati and scholars sang poems by the river in groups of threes and twos. The moonlight in the river is broken, and the sparks are dotted. After the beginning of spring, there are already flower sellers carrying baskets along the river bank to sell, and the ladies who love beauty will stop to choose, and from time to time there are petals falling into the Bianhe River, dancing with the lights in the river.
Zhao Ling led Xiao Qingmei to walk by the river, and Xiao Qingmei said, "Brother Ling, it would be nice if there were lanterns to carry." "Today, there are many lantern riddles in the lantern shops in the city, and there are lanterns that are taken away from time to time. The lanterns of the lantern shop are exquisitely made, light and translucent, and the elegant paintings are hung at the door, attracting visitors to stop.
Zhao Ling said: "What lamp does Mei'er want?" “
Just a childish child dragged a four-wheeled rabbit lamp to the side, followed by a loving mother. Xiao Qingmei pointed to the rabbit lamp and said, "I want such a rabbit lamp that can run." “
Zhao Ling asked her to wait in place, and went into the lantern shop to guess the rabbit lantern.
And today, in Shangyuan, many people who are confined at home are also rare to come out to breathe, such as Lin Yulan and Xie Cheng.
Lin Yulan lost her temper because of the orchid in the afternoon, and she was quite angry with Lin Qingmei. She took the lotus flowers to buy flowers by the Bianhe River, and looked up to see Lin Qingmei sitting on the railing on the riverbank, her face wrapped in a hijab, and a pair of exposed eyes were staring at the lantern shop without blinking. She threw flowers and was in no mood to play.
At this time, Xie Cheng rented a painting boat to swim in the middle of the river, and occasionally raised his head to see the slender back on the riverbank, this back he would never admit that he was wrong, even if the winter clothes were heavy, he could still get a glimpse of the exquisiteness in the Xiangguo Temple that day.
He threw his wine glass: "Dock!" Lao Tzu wants to go ashore! “
When the ship was moored, Xie Cheng led four or five small servants to rush ashore, and several people ran towards Lin Qingmei with a fierce attitude. Lin Qingmei teased the two minks in her arms, and looked at the lantern shop from time to time: Brother Ling is so slow! I've guessed for so long and still haven't guessed the rabbit lamp back.
Suddenly, a large shadow fell to block her gaze, and she looked up and saw that it was the person who could eat people in the Great Xiangguo Temple, and she was horrified and afraid. The cannibal stepped in front of her, restrained her wrists, and said viciously, "Look where you are running this time!" “
Lin Qingmei was frightened and struggled desperately: "Go away!" You go away! “
Lin Yulan and Lotus looked at it not far away, and Lotus asked, "Girl." Shall we help? “
"No, can't five big men deal with her?"
Who knew that after a while, the guards of the East Palace rushed over, and Lin Yulan was anxious, for fear that Lin Qingmei would escape. Fortunately, Xie Cheng found the guards and forcibly dragged Lin Qingmei into the alley. Seeing this, Lin Yulan also followed.
The guards followed him into the alley. The alley was dark, and the chief guard said, "Go and find it separately!" The logistics people quietly dispersed.
Lin Yulan followed Xie Cheng into an extremely remote alleyway, Xie Cheng noticed that there was someone behind him, thinking that it was a palace guard, and he was nervous. Lin Qingmei was crying again, and he gritted his teeth and knocked her unconscious. But at this time, Lin Yulan, who was following, was already a stone's throw away, so she had no choice but to leave people and run away by herself.
Lin Yulan saw that he threw Lin Qingmei, and secretly scolded him for not being able to make a big deal, and stepped forward to take a look through the faint moonlight, Lin Qingmei's eyes were closed and she fell under the wall, unconscious. Lotus said: "The slave maid went to find someone to take the seventh girl home." “
"What's the catch?" Lin Yulan's tone was calm, "It's just a prostitute, she should be sent back to the brothel." “
Lotus Hua'er was shocked: This is the official lady who came out!
Lin Yulan's heart was poisoned: This fool robbed her of her good marriage, and God let her encounter this kind of thing, just to remind her to take revenge! As long as this fool is a prostitute, he will not want to turn over again!
She instructed Lotus to find a sedan chair, planning to sell Lin Qingmei into the prostitution door. Lotus had the heart to help Lin Qingmei, and persuaded: "Is the girl confused? If you are a prostitute, you have to go to the government to register, and you will definitely be exposed. “
"Then sell it to be a prostitute!" Lin Yulan's thief heart did not change.
Lotus said again: "There are few private prostitutes in Beijing, no one is willing to buy them, so forget it!" “
"No way!" Lin Yulan hated Lin Qingmei very much, "Although this fool is stupid, he is born with the ability to seduce men." Wouldn't it be a loss if you didn't become a prostitute? The city gate is not closed today, you go to find a sedan chair, let's go out of the city overnight, and sell her to other places tomorrow! “
Lotus couldn't, so she had to rent a sedan chair. At this time, Zhao Ling had already guessed a rabbit lamp, and saw that the place where Xiao Qingmei was waiting was empty. I wondered in my heart: Xiao Qingmei has always been very obedient and will not say goodbye without saying goodbye.
At this time, the chief of the guard looked solemn and said, "Your Highness! Miss Lin was taken captive! “
Zhao Ling thought he was joking: "How did Mei'er think of playing this kind of game?" Tell her that Rabbit Lantern Gu has guessed it, and let her come quickly! “
The chief guard did not move: "Your Highness! Miss Lin was kidnapped into the alley, and her subordinates and others found nothing here, so I came to tell her! “
"Why don't you look for it!" The smile on Zhao Ling's face turned cold inch by inch, "Send more manpower, immediately close the city gate, and search the whole city!" “
These idiots! People can be taken away right under their noses!
At this time, Lin Yulan had already rented a sedan chair to send Lin Qingmei out of the city, and as soon as a few people left the city, they heard the sound of the city gate closing behind them, and there were soldiers trotting on the city tower patrolling, shouting loudly: "The city gate is closed, no entry and exit!" “
Lotus said hurriedly: "Girl, we can't go back tonight, what can we do?" “
Lin Yulan pulled out the hairpin on her head and handed it to her: "Please ask the sedan chair driver to find a post house for us to live in, and then return to the city tomorrow." “
At this time, Zhao Ling lingered in the place where Lin Qingmei was lost, and not long after the chief guard came back and said, "Your Highness, it has been found out that it is Xie Cheng, the son of the Xie family, who kidnapped Miss Lin. “
It's him again! Zhao Ling was furious: "Go to Xie's house!" Lone personally interrogated! “
At this time, it has been three watches in the night, and Xie Mansion has not been lively for a long time since Xie Dao'an Zhishi. Hearing the sound of hurried footsteps outside the house, the lights were bright, and there was the sound of weapons striking each other from time to time, Xie Daoan and his wife looked at each other: "What's wrong?" “
Not long after, the gate was knocked open by the palace guards, and Zhao Ling walked in with a domineering face and a cold face: "Where is Xie Cheng?" “
Xie Daoan said blankly: "The dog is locked up at home, what is His Highness looking for him?" “
Mrs. Xie on the side trembled like chaff and whispered, "I went out to see the lanterns, not in the house." “
Xie Daoan was shocked and scolded angrily: "Why did this son of a son let go out to harm others? “
Zhao Ling couldn't bear to listen to them chewing, and ordered the guards to search, and after a while, Xie Cheng was taken out by the guards in his middle coat, and he shivered in the cold night. When he saw Zhao Ling, he trembled even more, thinking of the torture he had suffered in the Great Xiangguo Temple before, he knew that he was in a catastrophe.
Zhao Ling sneered: "I thought you should have died a long time ago." “
Xie Cheng collapsed to the ground: "Your Highness spare your life, Your Highness spare your life!" “
"Lone said last time that he would burn you at the stake, but you died and escaped. Right now, you're so cold, I'll keep you warm. “
