Chapter 62: Butterfly Dance Orchid Blood Handkerchief
"Third master, sixth master," the chief manager of Prince Zheng's mansion waited anxiously next to the stone lion at the gate of the palace early, and when he saw Duanhua's carriage approaching, he hurriedly greeted him, "You guys are back, this time is just right!" Hurry up! β
Duanhua and Su Xiaoliu got out of the car, and two eunuchs from the palace hurriedly ran over, the two of them held the tray with both hands, and knelt down together in front of Duanhua and Su Xiaoliu, "Third master, sixth master, please!" β
Su Xiaoliu looked down and saw a white robe stacked on the tray, he understood that this was the filial piety clothes to be worn by the so-called "ready-to-wear", and couldn't help but feel a little repulsed in his heart: "Rub, it's a white thing when you come back from crossing, how can this luck be good?" β
At this time, Duanhua beside him had already shaken off the white robe and was putting it on his body, so Su Xiaoliu had to grit his teeth: "Forget it, the old prince is still interesting enough, and he gave me tens of thousands of taels of silver, just wear it once!" β
[Netizen]: What's going on with Su Xiaoliu's righteous and awe-inspiring expression?
[Netizen]: That's it, it feels like I'm going to the execution ground!
[Netizen]: Ha, being a son for someone must be unhappy!
Duanhua and Su Xiaoliu walked inside with the chief manager stepping on the steps, Su Xiaoliu raised his eyes and saw that the gate of the palace was already full of white curtains and white curtains, and the "Dulu Banner" that made him feel very much like a male totem was also decorated with a very intricate and brocade, so he couldn't help but be happy: "This thing is so full of bells and whistles, does it mean that this old prince was very romantic and attentive when he was young?" β
Bypassing the shadow wall, I saw that the main hall in the second gate was already in a state, and the stewards of each courtyard outside the hall knelt down in a white robe and white hat, and the scene was very spectacular.
The chief steward led them to the front of the hall, and Su Xiaoliu saw that the hall was also full of people, and everyone was dressed in vegetarian clothes, and they couldn't see who was who for a while.
At this time, the chief manager took two pieces of paper media from the hands of a eunuch, handed them to Duanhua and Su Xiaoliu, and then pointed to the paper lanterns placed all the way from the mourning hall to the outside of the hall in the hall, and said: "The third master is the eldest son, and he has to take a few princes to light this 'guiding lamp' for the prince, the prince is sixty-nine years old, and there are sixty-nine guiding lights in total!" β
"So this is the guiding light!" Su Xiaoliu looked at the delicate lanterns on the ground twisted with colored cotton paper, and couldn't help sighing, "This little paper flower is quite complicated, dozens of flowers are twisted exactly the same, it's really a good craft!" β
As he was thinking this, Enhwa and Hui Luo and Kuan Luo had already walked out of the hall, and they also had paper media in their hands. The chief manager turned his head sideways and asked a person in charge for the time, and then said to Duan Hua and the others: "The hour is just right, let's start!" β
"Well, good!" Duanhua nodded, "Let's start!" β
So the chief steward motioned to the celebrant standing outside the hall, and the celebrant shouted, "Heyβlight the lamp and lead Lulerβ"
Led by Duanhua, the five people began to light the lights in front of the mourning hall and lit them all the way out.
The cotton paper lantern has been dipped in sesame oil, pressed on the ground with copper coins, sixty-nine is the virtual age of Prince Zheng Wu Ergong'a, two rows of lanterns each have more than thirty rows, all the way to the door of the main hall. According to the rules, candles cannot be used to light the lanterns, and Duanhua and other five sons need to use paper media to light the fire one by one, so the five of them bent over and used not very skillful techniques to light the lanterns for a long time.
They lit it here, and the ceremonial officer over there counted it loudly, "the first lamp, the second lamp", and the last lantern, that is, the sixty-ninth lantern, happened to be lit by Su Xiaoliu, and as soon as he lit it, the ceremonial officer sang loudly: "Sixty-nine!" Licheng! β
"Oops, it's finally done!" Su Xiaoliu rubbed his sore lumbar spine and stood up straight, "You can make a wish and sing when you're done, come, start!" Happyββbirthdayββtoβ¦β¦β
[Netizen]: Poof-this thing has a brain pump!
[Netizen]: Rub! Sing a birthday song to the dead, do you want to go against the sky!
[Netizen]: When the old prince heard Xiaoliu's singing, he must be so angry that he wanted to sit up!
[Netizen]: Haha, you look at the expression of the ceremonial official, you are more surprised than seeing the old prince deceitful corpse!
[Netizen]: Ha, I saw it, my mouth is so wide!
[Netizen]: The teeth are quite white, is it using magic to show off white?
Seeing the strange eyes of the people beside him, Su Xiaoliu hurriedly stopped his mouth, stuck out his tongue, and said in a concealed manner: "This, this is the greeting of the white matter over there in Hongye Ridge, and the dialect is heavier, and it is not easy to understand." β
Fortunately, everyone didn't understand the meaning of this English, so no one cared about Su Xiaoliu's words, and then a series of rituals such as offering incense to the mourning hall, and everyone began to implement them step by step under the guidance of the ceremonial official.
After the ceremony was over, it was already time to put on the lights, Duanhua took Su Xiaoliu to the side hall, and ordered someone to set up a vegetarian banquet for him to go to the Zongren Mansion to "go to prison" for him to practice.
Looking at a table of delicate-looking delicacies, Su Xiaoliu had already moved his index fingers, he looked at a few of the hot fried vegetarian dishes, and was about to reach out to grab them, but he heard a soft and familiar voice beside him: "Sixth master, chopsticks!" β
Su Xiaoliu turned her head and saw that it was the maid Ruoying, who was also wearing a white robe at this time, holding a pair of silver chopsticks with a plain face, standing beside her.
"Wakasakura, how did you practice this silent walk?" Su Xiaoliu joked, took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fried tofu and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating, "I'm coming out when I turn around, let's catch mice and play at night, your silent footsteps, mice must not be able to hear it!" β
Ruo Sakura didn't answer him, just picked up a soup bowl, served him a bowl of egg custard, and silently served it to him: "Sixth master, drink some hot soup, the palace is in mourning, you want to be vegetarian, you can't eat the beef noodles you want to eat at this time!" β
Hearing her tone a little sad, Su Xiaoliu knew that she was sad that she was about to go to "prison", so she hurriedly comforted her: "It's okay, Ruoying, it's not too late to eat beef noodles when you come back!" However, I think this custard is very good now! Come on, I'll take a bite first! β
Seeing that Su Xiaoliu, who was about to go to prison, was still so optimistic to amuse herself, Ruoying felt very uncomfortable, her nose was sore, and tears couldn't help but gush out.
"Wow," Su Xiaoliu drank two sips of egg custard and praised, "It tastes really good, as soon as I drink it, the whole person feels comfortable!" But ,......"
"What's wrong, Sixth Master?" Wakazakura hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Is the custard too old?" If that's not your thing, I'll have time to make it in the kitchen now! β
Su Xiaoliu stretched out his hand to hold her, then brought the bowl of custard to her face and looked at her affectionately.
"Sixth Master," Wakazakura didn't understand what he meant, and asked as she stretched out her hand to wipe away her tears, "What's wrong?" β
Su Xiaoliu took out a handkerchief from his clothes, and while gently wiping away her tears, she said softly: "The egg custard is not salty enough, if my Ruoying drops two tears into it, then the taste will be perfect!" β
[Netizen]: Oh-
[Netizen]: Xiaoliu is really numb!
[Netizen]: Xiaoliu is disgusting!
[Netizen]: Xiaoliu is really obscene!
[Netizen]: It's a good word, why is it a little disgusting when it comes out of Xiaoliu's mouth!
Ruo Sakura suddenly blushed with shame: "Sixth master, you are so bad!" People are worried about you, but you make fun of them! β
[Netizen]: Wow, the little girl is coquettish with tears in her eyes, and she loves her very much!
[Netizen]: Blushing like an apple, cute!
[Netizen]: The so-called "flushing", is this the case?
[Netizen]: Rub! It's so filthy upstairs!
"Huh? Wait! Ruoying accidentally saw the handkerchief that Su Xiaoliu brought to wipe her tears, so she reached out and took it, unfolded it, and saw that it was embroidered with butterfly dancing orchids, and there was a blood stain sticking to it, so she spread the handkerchief on the table and asked, "Sixth master, what's going on?" β
[Netizen]: Wow, when this handkerchief is spread out like this, it is not flushed, but "red"!
