Chapter 8 The cottage is happy with the Lantern Festival in Yuanzhou
Inside the house, Shi Jin snorted for a moment and said, "Senior brother, I listened to you, I have been to the land of Goolan Fengyue." Sanniang burst out laughing, and after pulling Shi Jin to sit down, she asked with a wink, "How?" It tastes good, right? Shi Jinchan blushed and said, "Fairy business." ”
Sanniang smiled again and said, "Why blush? These things are also natural. Do you have a favorite woman? Senior brother and you will go to the match. Shi Jin said: "Not yet, but I feel that ordinary women are not as good as senior brothers." ”
Sanniang frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" I am your senior brother, and there is a way that the eldest brother is the father, how can I mess up people? Have you not listened to me again? Shi Jin had to bow his head and say, "It's just that I think about it very much, and I can't help it." Sanniang sighed and said: "Senior brother and you look at it, but when there is a good match, I will come with you, and I will only be a senior brother in this life, okay?" Shi Jin had to nod, and after a few more gossips, Shi Jin left. Sanniang sent him outside the door, saw him go, and secretly said to herself: "It's really a bad fate." ”
A few days after returning to the mountain, seeing that the New Year was approaching, Chai Jin got up first to say goodbye, and Sanniang assigned more than ten capable iron guard officers and officials to follow Chai Jin back to Cangzhou first, in order to prepare for the past. Sanniang led the leaders to send Chai Jin and his party to the north pavilion of Shaohua Mountain, before leaving, Sanniang invited Chai Jin but when there was Lin Chong's news, the letter was sent to inform him in the morning and evening. After Chai Jin responded, he led his group back to Cangzhou.
After Sanniang and the leaders dealt with all the things in the village, several new leaders gradually became familiar with the rules of the cottage, Pei Xuan and Meng Kang were still good, they were originally from the public family, but they didn't feel hard, but Yang Lin and Deng Fei had been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, but they were very unaccustomed. Fortunately, Pei Xuan is in charge of the law, and he often takes care of the two, but he can also stop the two.
Look at the approaching year, the cottage is full of lights, buy New Year's goods, everyone gives out new clothes, all of them wear them, and they all look jubilant. On this day, Tang Long returned to the cottage to get together, and it was another big celebration.
On the eve of the year, hundreds of tables of banquets were opened in Shaohua Cottage, and everyone was happy. During the banquet, Hu Sanniang and the leaders read out a proclamation in public, only talking about the merits of the past few years, rewarding the merits, and rewarding the richly.
Hundreds of tables up and down, Sanniang and all the leaders went to toast one by one, not missing a table, several leaders were not as good as her drinking, with a small cup to salute each other, but in the end they were all drunk, but only Sanniang was still talking and laughing.
In the village passed the New Year's Day, and a few days passed, look at the day is close to the first month of the Yuan Festival (that is, the Lantern Festival), this day Huayin County Government in the two priests Chen Jing and Wang Yuan arrived. This Wang Yuan Charge Division is the Wang Yuan Charge Division who was previously disposed of in Li Ji's case, and he and Chen Jing came to the cottage and brought the words of the government office.
It turned out that the Shangguan in the Huazhou Prefecture was transferred to another party last year, and the new He Governor was a native of Cai Jingmen, the imperial master of the dynasty, so he held a lively Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Zheng County, Huazhou Prefecture, to celebrate his new appointment, and taught Huayin, Xiatai, Pucheng, and Weinan counties under the rule of Huazhou to purchase lanterns and satin offerings, and they all went to Zheng County to celebrate together during the Shangyuan Festival. He also invited the wealthy and wealthy households in each county to buy lanterns and participate in their meetings to show their own style. Shijiazhuang is famous far and wide, so he was also invited, and the two priests went straight to the village to report.
After listening to the words, Sanniang invited the leaders to discuss. Sanniang said: "There are people from the left near the state and county, only this state is not yet thorough, and when it comes to the event, they will participate in it, so as to show their name." ”
Shi Jin said happily after hearing this: "Exactly, sooner or later, I will make trouble with him, and I will also teach everyone to know about us." Zhu Wu said: "You can go to this meeting, just to have fun with the people, not to fight, but the church knows a lot of people in the county, so that you can start in the future." ”
Sanniang said: "What the military advisor said is extremely true, there are a lot of good people at the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, and if you make a scene, it will definitely hurt the people, so you can't do this." We will go back with the people and teach the lanterns purchased by the villages, towns, prefectures and counties under their respective jurisdictions to play the name of Shijiazhuang, so as to teach the new prefect to know how powerful. And all the people praised the goodness together, and they also agreed on the purchase of various things for the Lantern Festival, and the allocation of people.
At the end, Gongsun Sheng suddenly smiled and said: "In the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, all the ladies and ladies of Huazhou will definitely come out for a night tour. After saying that, looking at Shi Jin, everyone laughed.
At this time, the women are not all hiding in the boudoir and no one knows them, just like the ladies in Bianjing, they often travel at night and eat tea in the other tea shop, and Huazhou is no exception. In the Shangyuan Festival, there are many women's night tours, every time the lights are put on, only when the lanterns are on, the women of each family are dressed finely, all wear pearl cui, moth, jade plum, snow willow, Bodhi leaf, lamp ball, pin Jinhe, cicada mink sleeve, neckkerchief, and the clothes are still white, cover the moon under the appropriate, go out to enjoy the lanterns. At the lantern festival, the girl has spring, the young man is romantic, and the man and woman meet, but when there is a person who sees the right eye, he will keep it in his heart, communicate with the matchmaker sooner or later, get married and get married, and Gongsun Sheng has this saying.
Seeing everyone laughing at himself, Shi Jin didn't think so, and only thought in his heart: "I wonder if my senior brother will wear women's clothes and swim with me that day?" After everyone laughed for a while, Sanniang drank and distributed people, and the leaders each received an errand to do it.
Not a day, Shaohua Mountain, Shijiazhuang two lanterns are properly placed, under the rule of the left near villages, towns, states and counties out of the hanging lanterns, also done, led by the leaders one after another, to Zheng County to gather, just waiting for the day of the Yuan Festival to hang the lanterns.
On this day, Sanniang, Shi Jin, and Gongsun Sheng went to Zheng County with the Shijiazhuang Lantern Team, leaving Zhu Wu to guard the town. After two days, I arrived at Zheng County, which is the state capital of the county, which is larger than Huayin County, and it is also three cities and six streets, which is very lively.
The three of them lived in the Shijiazhuang Hall in Zheng County, which was an industry of Shijiazhuang on the surface, but it was actually a dark spot under Shaohua Mountain to the state, and the government did not know.
After a day of rest, the second day is the Shangyuan Festival, this morning up, Shijiazhuang and cottage people have taken the lights, and began to hang and arrange on the street. When Sanniang, Shi Jin, and Gongsun Sheng went to the street to look, they saw that all the streets began to be decorated with makeup. The smoke willow painting bridge is full of street scenes, and the wind curtain is green on the Yuan Festival.
After looking at it for a while, the three of them turned back to the hall, and after eating a meal of wine and meat, they each freshened up and changed their clothes, and just waited for night to fall and go to see the lights. But he said that Shi Jin had changed his clothes early, came to Sanniang's house and knocked on the door: "Senior brother, how are you?" ”
Sanniang opened the door, Shi Jin entered the house, but saw that Sanniang just changed into a set of men's clothes in brocade clothes, and said with a lonely face: "I also said that my senior brother will change into women's clothes tonight." Sanniang scolded with a smile: "What do you want to do again?" Do you want my brother to change into women's clothes and find someone with the right eye? ”
Shi Jin hurriedly said: "Is that what you say?" I just want to see what my brother's women's clothes look like. Sanniang smiled and said: "Your senior brother is very ugly after changing women's clothes, don't look at it, let's go, the time has come." When the two of them came out of the house, they called Gongsun Sheng together, and they went up to the street.
Sure enough, at this moment, it is the end of the unitary time, the lights are on, the moonlight is shining, and I see that above the night market, the ladies of the people, Luo Qi is like a cloud, it is: the moonlight is charming, the lights are gorgeous, and the beauty of the lanterns is even more charming.
Walking through a street, on a white ground, singing a bangzi play, I can only hear: "There are lanterns in the first month, and my sister and mother go to see the lanterns." There are many ladies in the city, and the people in Zheng County look at people. ”
After walking for a while, the lantern festival put the lights, and the alleys were empty, not only for watching the lights, but also for watching people. Sanniang was dazzled, and only smiled: "I heard a gossip, only saying that when the virtuous minister Sima Guangxiang lived in Luoyang in the early years, on the night of Shangyuan, his wife wanted to go out to see the lights. Sima Guang said: 'Why bother to look at the lights at home? The lady said, "I also want to see the tourists." Sima Guang said, 'Is it a ghost?' ’。 ”
Gongsun Sheng and the two laughed when they heard it, and Gongsun Sheng said: "I didn't expect Sima Xianggong to be so funny, but what Mrs. Sima said is good, this Shangyuan Lantern Festival, in addition to watching the lanterns, also wants to see tourists." ”
Sanniang looked around, then looked at Shi Jin, and said with a smile: "The so-called willow tops on the moon, after dusk, such a beautiful day, how can you live up to it?" Lang, let's look at the lights ahead. ”
After saying that, Sanniang left first with a smile, and Gongsun Sheng grabbed Shi Jin and said: "Poor Dao is another headlight here, you go with her, Poor Dao will take a leisurely walk, and go back to the hall later to get together." Then he said meaningfully: "King Xiang has a dream, but the goddess has no heart, but it is difficult." Saying that, he left on the other side, Shi Jin couldn't figure it out, so he just followed Sanniang's footsteps.
A little slower, there were many people on the street, Shi Jin suddenly lost the trace of Sanniang, wandered for a while, only to see a lot of men and women, hand in hand and whispering, there are a lot of things on the street, Shi Jin bought a jade plum hairpin, only intended to give it to Sanniang.
When I took the hairpin head and left, I saw that when I was appreciating, I was fighting on the shoulders, and I was holding on to the hands, and there were thousands of pairs, exactly: there were no deep alleys, embroidered bead curtains, clever new makeup, gorgeous competition, spring love, wine and happiness, elegant and joyful, it was a pity to be yin, the scenery was noisy, and I didn't feel even better.
I also saw countless food stalls on the street, and there were floating yuan (i.e., Lantern Festival) selling before and after, exactly: "Distinguished guests hook the curtain to watch the light street, and the floating yuan in the market comes for a while." There is no way to go in front of the curtain, and no money can be returned. "Each Fuyuanzi is filled with sugar, sesame, bean paste, yellow cinnamon, walnut kernels, nuts, jujube paste, etc., which are different, and can be meat or vegetarian, with different flavors.
When Shi Jin couldn't find Sanniang, he was anxious, and suddenly heard a crisp voice in front of a stall and whispered: "The stall owner, come with me two bowls of bean paste yuanzi." When Shi Jin looked sideways, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of the stall, and he saw: his eyebrows were like willow leaves in early spring, often with a touch of rain and clouds. The face is like a peach blossom in March, and the waist is wrapped in a green dress. The jade looks enchanting and the flowers are interpreted, and the fragrant beauty is beautiful and the jade is fragrant. The light shone brightly, and the man was in the place.
Shi Jin looked at it once, his heart jumped suddenly, the lights were bright and dark, but this person was not Senior Brother Hu Lan, who was it? It's just that she changed into a green skirt and hairpin buns, and when she only dresses up as a daughter, she looks even more glamorous. Shi Jin was overjoyed, and just wanted to say: "It turns out that my senior brother came here with a change of clothes, and she still wants me to see her woman's makeup." ”
At that moment, Shi Jin was overjoyed, bold, and stepped forward to his side and said: "You go and change your makeup, and you can find it when you teach me." ”
