On the fourteenth day of the first month, all kinds of lanterns are also arranged around Rongfu, the Grand View Garden is even more so, a pillar is erected on the river beach of Zilingzhou, more than a dozen lanterns are hung on each pillar, according to the trend of the river beach, reflecting the surface of the Qinfang River, in this cold early spring night, the light is bright and clean, and there is a different artistic conception. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A group of sisters came, not only Li Kun arrived with Jia Lan, but also Baochai, Baoqin, Xing Xiuyan, who were still outside the garden, and even Xichun, who stayed in Ningfu, also came.

When these sisters arrived, they naturally brought a large group of maids, and on weekdays, there was no need for so many people to follow, but I heard that tonight Zilingzhou was chic and novel, and all the maids came over to see the freshness, especially the little girls, who were just stubborn and old, and they came in a swarm.

Later, the twelve girls in the troupe, Ling Guan, Fang Guan and others also came, a few girls from Shiban also came, and a few maids from outside the garden such as Mandarin Duck and Ping'er also came.

The arrival of hundreds of people, even the empty Ziling Continent, at this time also showed a bit of bustling liveliness.

Each person is carrying a lantern in his hand, the style is different, the ambilight is colorful, there are goldfish lanterns, lotus lanterns, hydrangea lanterns, parrot lanterns, etc., in the material, it is divided into silk yarn, bamboo and wood, jade pieces, shells, etc., everyone shuttles back and forth on the beach, red skirts and green jackets, warblers and swallows, the whole Ziling Island is a flowing halo.

Jia Wei stayed with Li Kun's mother and son, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai, Baoqin, Daiyu, Xing Xiuyan, Mandarin Duck, and Ping'er, walking around on the river beach at will, attacking people to serve closely, and bringing hot tea to everyone from time to time, which made Jia Wei nod secretly, a person who knew that he was about to become the concubine of the head room, still maintained his duty, did not change his diligence, it was rare to be honest, and it was not in vain that he decided to accept the other party as the concubine of the head room.

Talking to each other, everyone looked at a row of bright lanterns that stretched in the past from time to time, and arranged such a row of lanterns on this empty river beach near the water, looking at the stars in the past, reflecting each other, in the cold air, crystal clear, beautiful, it was indeed an excellent arrangement.

This is naturally Jia Wei's handwriting, and the inspiration comes from the endless street lamps in the city in his previous life, of course, now he is arranged on the river beach, reflecting the river, and there is a beautiful and cold beauty.

Some of these lanterns are allocated to the Grand View Garden in the house, most of them are purchased by him from the outside lamp market, although the shapes are different, but all of them are glazed lanterns, not paper paste, not bamboo, jade pieces, shells, etc., what you want is that the light is clear and clear, this row of dozens of pillars in the past, there are thousands of glazed lanterns in total, of which eight or nine hundred are purchased outside, and the cost is expensive, in order to be poetic and picturesque this night.

Walking on the river beach, enjoying the lanterns, all kinds of topics come and go, and then mention the rice balls on tomorrow's New Year's Eve, in fact, Yanjing Yuan Xi eats the Lantern Festival, not the rice balls, but the Jia family is originally from Jinling, and these people of the older generation have stayed in the south for half their lives, and after coming to Yanjing, quite a lot of customs have not changed, just like Yuan Xi, they still eat rice balls, up and down, so the people of the two provinces, whether they are the master or the next person, eat in the soup garden every year.

Li Kun, Baochai, Baoqin, Daiyu, Xing Xiuyan are not to mention, Li Kun has been married from the south for only seven or eight years, Baochai and Daiyu have been in Fuzhong for seven or eight years, Baoqin and Xing Xiuyan just came from the south last year, naturally all the customs of the south are there, like Jia Lan under the influence of his mother, he only knows the rice balls, and he doesn't even know what the Lantern Festival looks like.

As for Jia Wei, naturally too, in his previous life, except for studying at Yenching University in college, he was in the south at other stages, and every New Year's Eve, he ate rice balls.

At this time, everyone was talking about tangyuan, and immediately associated this sweet and glutinous feeling with the bright and lively Yuanxi, especially Li Kun, Baochai, Baoqin, Daiyu, and Xing Xiuyan, all of whom have the experience of living in the south, the south is economically developed, the social atmosphere is free, not more than the conservative north, some of the etiquette and upbringing followed by women are relatively relaxed, even if it is a lady from a wealthy family, in this kind of festival, she is allowed to go out, thinking that after eating the soup garden, there is still the sweet fragrance of the rice balls in her mouth, so she is under the care of the servants. When they went to the lantern market outside to admire the lanterns and linger, the five sisters laughed as they spoke.

Jia Wei listened to them quietly, their voices were pleasant, their appearance was beautiful, in this empty river beach, under the beautiful lights, smiling, whispering, green silk and green onions, bright eyes, they had an indescribable charm.

Like a fishing meeting, this small lantern festival in the garden today has a banquet, a barbecue, fireworks, a opera, and a flute, but there is no fishing, there is one more lantern appreciation, everyone is naughty, the hour passes quickly, and when it comes to the right time (eight o'clock in the evening), Li Kun takes Jia Lan back and says goodbye to everyone.

“…… Sister-in-law, it's still early, why did you go back early? ”

"Yes, let Brother Lan be stubborn for a while, it is difficult for him to be stubborn, look how happy he is ......"

“…… It's okay for you to go back, but it's better to stay here and leave when you're sleepy. ”

……

……

Hearing that she was going to leave early, everyone was a little surprised, although Li Kun said that she was older than them, but she has always loved to make trouble and love to play, the fishing rally is the head she picked, tonight had a good time, Jia Lan is also happy, and now he is saying that he will leave, which is really unremitting.

"I want to stay any longer," Seeing that everyone was staying, Li Kun smiled and pointed to his son Jia Landao, "...... However, Lan'er is going to take the county exam next month, and I want to take him back to review his homework...... If it weren't for the beautiful lanterns my uncle set up tonight, I wouldn't have come...... Tomorrow night, I only went to the old lady to eat rice balls, and then took Lan'er back to the yard......"

Saying this, everyone looked at each other, relieved, and a little surprised, Jia Lan was only eight years old after the New Year this year, so he began to take the county exam, preparing for the exam?

After a while, Baochai took the lead in smiling and said to Li Kun, "It turns out that Brother Lan is going to take the imperial examination, and I wish Brother Lan a smooth and successful scientific examination." ”

Then Tanchun, Yingchun, Baoqin, Daiyu, Xing Xiuyan, as well as Mandarin Duck and Ping'er also said a few auspicious words.

Jia Wei is naturally no exception, he is Jia Lan's own uncle, and his relationship is closer than anyone present, at this time, I heard that he patted Jia Lan on the head, "...... A good student will take the exam, and when a child comes back, my uncle will prepare a gift for you. ”

"Oh." Jia Lan rolled his dark eyes and obediently agreed.
