85. Flower lanterns set the Mandarin League
Mahjong is to be played, ice cream is to be eaten, and people who should move around still have to move around. Since the third year of junior high school, I have been following the relationship and starting to rank down. The second uncle Zhang Juzheng, Li Zaixing, the secretary of the military department, Wang Guoguang, the secretary of the ministry, and friends and brothers of various ministries and commissions. In addition, the great eunuch Feng Bao and his younger brother did not fall behind.
Later, after thinking about it, I went to Hai Rui's Mansion again, and played a few rounds of mahjong with him.
After all, there are too few people in his house, and it is really unorthodox to find those servants, and the old man wanted to hold a shelf and play mahjong a few days ago, but counting him, counting Xie Guangsheng, and counting the old coachman who has accompanied him for 30 years, there is still one of the three! You can make the old man anxious! So......
In the past few days, I am really tired and have a backache. This Ming Dynasty has a custom, that is, when you see acquaintances on the street during the Chinese New Year, you have to kowtow to each other on the street!
Imagine that the streets are not full of acquaintances? This knock on my head is about to herniate my lumbar intervertebral disc, okay? Finally, when I saw my acquaintance on the street for the Nth time, everyone pretended not to see it, turned their heads to look at the scenery on the street, and finally passed by! Then he let out a long breath......
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, I took a few people to Jizhou and made a special trip to Qi Dudu to send New Year's blessings - a set of Seiko mahjong. This thing has spread to the surrounding counties, and the Governor of Qi is more happy than anything else when he sees this! Of course, Ye Sizhong and a few old brothers are indispensable, and Ye Sizhong must bring a set to Li Chengliang.
Thinking of Li Chengliang, I suddenly thought of Yang Ben'an, the governor of Shandong, and a few fellow villagers, so I had to go to Shandong again.
When I returned to Beijing, it was already the ninth day of the first month, and after writing the rules of the mahjong competition, I was complacent and handed over to Qiao Hansheng and Qinglian and Yuhe to do, and I took the Seiko ivory mahjong that had been prepared, and went straight to the destination - the military department Shangshufu!
In the first month, there is a lot of festive atmosphere in the military department's Shangshu Mansion, which can be described as colorful and brilliantly lit. In the past few days, even the people in the house have changed into new clothes, and Li Zaixing and Mrs. Li are even happier than anything else when they see me coming.
As for Li Huamei, she was playing mahjong with a few of her girlfriends in the back, and when she heard that I was coming, she hurriedly ran out to say hello, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, only to hear her voice along with the footsteps that were going away quickly: "Don't touch my cards!" Whoever peeked wiped out whom! ”
Li Zaixing and Mrs. Li looked embarrassed, but I smiled very casually, and took out a carefully prepared New Year's gift. At dinner in the evening, Li Huamei had already sent away her best friends who had "entered the pit", but her mind was still building the Great Wall, urging us to eat quickly, and the four of us just got together at a table after eating!
Li Zaixing and Mrs. Li casually criticized Li Huamei a few words, but it can be heard that the spoiling component accounts for ninety percent of the total, and the two of them actually want to play, so we hastily ate dinner, clean up the table, spread a layer of velvet blanket on the table, and the Seiko ivory mahjong I brought began its first journey!
My luck was exceptionally good this night, and I could almost say that I was killing all sides! I'm embarrassed to win a few games.,50,000、Eight、Five tubes don't need money to send out.,Desperately trying to light the gun.,It can be seen that the ghost is no one and!
Seeing that the broken silver in my hand was piling up more and more, Li Huamei was so angry that she shouted the slogan: "If you don't win Sun Qilan's underwear, you won't sleep"! Li Zaixing and Mrs. Li are also full of fighting spirit!
Beat until the rooster announced, Li Zaixing and Mrs. Li were old after all, and they couldn't stay up with energy, so they arranged a good guest room for me to rest, and the two went back to rest first.
Li Huamei was not sleepy, she had to pester me to teach her how to make ice cream, so I told her, this girl is worthy of being ice and snow smart, she mastered the essentials after saying it twice, and threatened to make the best ice cream in the world!
Naturally, I don't object to this, and then we take a break. When I got up the next morning for breakfast, Li Huamei and I agreed that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we would go to the imperial city to see the lanterns together. After eating, I took my leave and went back.
In the next few days, no matter what it is, it will always be drunk and dreaming of death. I saw that on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, I knew that I had a date tomorrow, so I went to bed early at night, but in the middle of the night, the kite suddenly came into my room, saying that I was not leaving, so I ...... I woke up late the next day, but I was in good spirits! All right! Proper exercise contributes to physical and mental health!
At four or five o'clock in the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I packed up and stopped, and I was ready to go to the appointment of the beautiful woman!
The kite shouted that he was going too, but Qinglian and Yuhe heard it, and they didn't want to go, so that even the most restrained Lan jumped up! So I told them that I would have something to do with five or six men, including No Regrets, Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao, and Lakshen, and take them to form a group! Don't come along!
So the name of heavy color and light friend fell like this!
I can't care about this now! Hurry up and go straight to the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department!
When I saw Li Huamei, I knew I had come to the right place today! This girl changed her usual black and red killing outfit today, and changed into a pink and white skirt! Coupled with a little powder on his face and flowers in his bun, he completely changed his usual tomboy style, and he pretended to be a lady!
Yes, camouflage!
That's what I said to her face. Hearing this, the girl wanted to explode on the spot, but considering her ladylike outfit, the earth-shaking outburst eventually turned into a hard pinch on my arm!
The two of us went out the door, walked side by side, and after a while, we walked outside the Forbidden City. Since Zhu Di ascended the throne, in order to highlight the atmosphere of enjoying with the people, every year the Forbidden City will be open to the public on the 14th, 15th and 16th days of the first lunar month, and the officials and the people can enter to watch, which is very lively.
Walking on the street, regardless of men, women and children, it is popular to fold gold leaf, or golden colored paper into ornaments in the shape of flying geese, butterflies, grasshoppers, etc., and insert them on their heads to set off the festive atmosphere, which is called wearing "noisy shouting".
The big ones shouted the size of a palm, and the small ones were the size of copper coins. Most people wear one, and we also see a few rich people who deliberately show off their wealth, with a lot of noise on their heads, looking at the proud posture, they almost want to walk sideways on the street!
Laughing and flashing through the crowd, I pulled Li Huamei to the roadside stall and bought the two largest "noisy", one by one in the hair. How stupid! We didn't just point at each other and laugh! The other hand was already tightly held at some point......
Of course, I didn't let go of the sugar gourd seller on the street, I bought two of the biggest skewers, one skewer for one person, I ate it with relish, but Huamei didn't like to eat this, so almost all two skewers entered my five internal organs temple!
The sky is getting darker, the lanterns are getting brighter, and the fireworks are starting to go off! The fireworks and firecrackers of the Ming Dynasty have a fairly high level of production, with hundreds of varieties, fine workmanship, and even realistic patterns such as flowers and plants.
When we bought fireworks on the side of the road, we listened to the craftsmen who said that these fireworks are called "casseroles" wrapped in mud, "flower tubes" wrapped in paper, "flower pots" wrapped in baskets, "cannons" that only make sounds, "fires" that can fly into the sky, "third-level waves" that make a noise after flying into the sky, and "ground mice" that spin on the ground.
Li Huamei rarely played these before, but today she knows that she is happy to jump to her feet. I saw that she was so happy, so I bought a lot of fireworks, and the craftsman of Le bared his teeth and smiled, and gave us some fireworks. After the transaction was completed, he also said that the two of us would be husband and wife at a glance, although it seems that they are not yet married, but presumably good things are not far away!
Although I know that this is a New Year's greeting, it sounds comfortable! Hua Mei's face was even more ashamed, and she drilled into the crowd with a flower cannon! But I didn't let go of the hand I was holding, so I smiled slightly, chased her with the rest of the cannons, and squeezed into an open space!
In this open space, some powerful families are setting off all kinds of fireworks, and we watched the excitement, so we put the ones we bought together! As a result, the boys and girls who set off the fireworks were all the second generation of officials, and they all recognized Li Huamei, and when they saw us holding hands, their brother-in-law and brother-in-law shouted shortly, and Huamei reprimanded a few times shyly, and then recognized it with a red face.
Dangling, we walked outside Dong'an Gate, it was so lively here! There are more people than on the edge of the Forbidden City just now!
It turns out that according to the customs of this era, from the 10th to the 16th of the first month, it is a day to enjoy the lanterns. At this time of year, lamp-making craftsmen and merchants from all over the country gather in the capital to sell their products on Dong'anmen Waibei Street.
The lanterns of all shapes and shapes in the light market can be said to have everything, plus tourists, sightseers, and people who come to watch are shoulder to shoulder, both men and women, and it is very lively. On the 14th day of the first month, the lanterns began to be lit and hung, and the lanterns on the 15th day of the first month officially began, and the lights were not stopped until the 16th day of the first month.
It is said that on the night of the 16th day of the first lunar month, the women of Kyoshi would go on a night tour in groups, and select one of them to walk in front with a lit incense stick, and the rest followed behind, called "Walking a Hundred Diseases", to pray for a good year without disaster and blame.
If there is a bridge where you walk, three or five women will cross it hand in hand, which means to save the misfortune. At the city gates, women would also grope for the nails in the dark, and if they could touch them, it would be a good omen.
On this night, Zhengyangmen, Chongwenmen, and Xuanwumen were all closed all night, allowing the people to come and go, while the sergeants and lieutenants patrolled all night to maintain order. At this point, the year is truly over.
Li Huamei and I shuttled through the crowd, because there were too many people, we were almost squeezed up several times, so our hands were held tighter! At the end of the day, the fingers are interlocked, and even if one person lets go, they won't let go!
We will inadvertently make eye contact, and at first we will feel embarrassed, and we will be separated by a touch. Later, I got used to it, and sometimes I would stare at each other for a long time, and then I couldn't help but giggle.
I've never had this kind of heart-warming sweetness, and it turns out that liking from the bottom of my heart will be such a feeling! Suddenly, I remembered the sentence "holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son", although it is not the relationship between lovers, but let's take the literal meaning!
When he rushed out of the crowd, he had already arrived at the Jinshui Bridge. After all, this is an important place in the imperial city, and there are still few ordinary people who come in. But the two of us didn't have any scruples, and we held hands and went on the bridge. When the patrolling soldiers saw us, they looked like the family members of the officers, and one of the squad leaders seemed to recognize me, came over and saluted, and then walked away with the team.
I am secretly grateful in my heart, this is really a good opportunity to create! Hua Mei and I walked on the bridge hand in hand, looking at the sparkling waves under the bridge reflected by the lights, and the mood was really infinitely good! Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and Hua Mei couldn't help but shiver!
I immediately untied my shawl and draped it over her from behind. Hua Mei couldn't help but tremble when her hand touched her body, but she recovered quickly. Seeing that she was not disgusted, I gently hugged her from behind.
The fragrance of virginity drilled into my nose and tickled me, so I couldn't help but kiss her on the earlobe!
Hua Mei shuddered, broke away from my embrace, turned into a face for me, and said angrily: "Dengzi! How is it so profligate! She was ashamed to shake off my hand, but I grabbed it, and she couldn't shake it off, so she pouted and said, "You hurt my hand!" ”
I quickly relaxed my fingers, but she didn't take the opportunity to run away, but just looked at me with a smile.
I felt a violent excitement in my heart, and I knew that according to the plot of Korean dramas, Japanese dramas, American dramas, and domestic films, it was time to propose! If you don't open your mouth in such a situation, you are single by your ability, and no one can save you!
So I took Hua Mei's hands with both hands, stared at her eyes affectionately, and said for a long time: "Hua Mei, marry me!" All right? ”
Hua Mei's face and eyes showed great excitement and love, but she didn't speak, and after a long time, Fang nodded!
My heart was on fire, and I pulled my hands into my arms! Hua Mei approached my body! Gently hugging her, both breathing can be heard! Finally, I couldn't hold back anymore and lowered my head and kissed it!
