The Du Mansion of Daozheng Fang and the Dou Mansion of Bi Guogong are not far apart, and the Doulu Guifei Mansion is also across the street, covering a wide area. Because Du Siwen lived in Zhupo Mountain most of the time after that, this mansion is where Du Siwen's children and grandchildren live, and now on Chinese New Year's Eve, Du Siwen was picked up by his eldest son Du Wen two days in the morning, and now he sat on the top seat and smiled at the children and grandchildren sitting on both sides, and several young grandsons gathered on Du Shiyi's side to laugh, and he couldn't help but nod secretly.

This New Year's Eve banquet is naturally extraordinarily rich, when Wei Juyuan dedicated to Emperor Zhongzong of the table of roast tail banquet, the recipes are mostly collected for the wealthy nobles, many of which are necessary for the festive festival. At this time, there was a bright shrimp burn before the meeting, Du Siwen couldn't help frowning and squinting at his eldest son Du Wen, who was sitting on the side, and said coldly: "In this cold day, prepare such live shrimp, you have a lot of money to burn your hands!"

"It is a dedication of men." Du Wen hurriedly explained, seeing that his father was still hesitant, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Not every seat is available, but it is dedicated to Grandpa." There are only a few of them, and the picture is fresh. ”

"Dedicated to me, what's the point?" Du Siwen angrily tapped the crystal clear white porcelain plate with chopsticks, and saw that many children and grandchildren had forgotten to watch the song and dance, and looked at him one after another, so he said lazily, "This bright shrimp burn, take it down and try it for everyone, I'm old, I can't stand the fishy smell of these fish and shrimp in the sea and river." ”

Knowing that his father was beating himself, Du Wen had no choice but to take charge of it himself, divided the two brothers and the children and grandchildren, and then sent the rest of the brains to Du Shiyi, but he took advantage of Du Siwen's slight distraction and said in a low voice: "Nineteen Lang, Grandpa's stubbornness is committed again, usually he is ruthless in front of his children and grandchildren, today is the festival, you go to accompany his old man, you are more face-saving than us in front of him." Uncle, I owe you a favor. ”

Seeing Du Wen's face full of bitterness, Du Shiyi thought that he was just joking, seeing that the children and grandchildren of the Du family around him were all peeking at Du Siwen, the elder, as if they were afraid that he would get angry regardless of the occasion, he suddenly felt a little incredulous, so he agreed and stood up, personally holding the pot in one hand, and came to Du Siwen with the cup in the other, but he personally filled it with wine, and then filled it himself, and then said with a smile: "If it weren't for the invitation of the old uncle, this Chinese New Year's Eve, I would have to spend it alone with the Thirteen Niang." On the occasion of this festive season, I wish my uncle a smile every year. ”

"Okay, you're right, if you live a long time but it's hard to see a smile, it's not interesting!" Du Siwen, who was still thinking about how to beat his children and grandchildren just now, suddenly laughed and drank it all immediately. As soon as he put down the wine cup, he saw that Du Sanniang also stepped forward, and drank the same wine pot and wine glass in his hand as Du Shiyi, and at this moment, he didn't wait for him to open his mouth and quipped, "What, your brothers and sisters are discussing that haode wants to get me drunk?"

"The old uncle laughed again, isn't it because it is Chinese New Year's Eve, so I sincerely want to respect the old uncle's wine and touch your blessing by the way?"

When Du Siwen heard the word blessing, he immediately hahadaxiao, and he was not ambiguous at the moment, and drank the wine that Du Shisanniang persuaded to drink, and actually left them to sit beside him. Seeing this, Du Wen breathed a long sigh of relief, and Suo Xìng went to sit with his two younger brothers, and instructed the family to work hard and make sure that the old father had no time to come to them for trouble. Fortunately, after three rounds of drinking and singing, Du Siwen asked Du Shiyi and Du Shisanniang to support him left and right, but he left the table. At this time, both men and women in the hall were relieved, and they laughed loudly for a while, and there were many drinking orders abound. Even Du Wen and his two younger brothers chatted leisurely about the recent interesting events between the DPRK and China.

Although Du Siwen had already left the main hall, it was not far from walking out at the moment, but he could hear the hustle and bustle in the hall clearly, and he sighed as he walked. At this moment, Du Sanniang on the side suddenly muttered in a low voice: "Don't sigh, uncle, in fact, the three uncles, as well as those brothers and sisters of the same generation as us, are just stunned in front of you." Not to mention anything else, I just saw the majestic appearance of my uncle above, and my heart was also very worried. ”

Du Siwen was suddenly amused by Du Sanniang's words. Although he felt that his descendants were not angry, he could think about it, but he didn't make a profit...... "The future is also guaranteed by the door, and his sigh and bitterness were swallowed back, and after shaking his head at Du Sanniang, he turned his head and said to Du Shiyi: "Try to do your best, this time the matter has become a big problem, although others are eyeing the tiger and want to be the first, but they don't want the praying mantis to catch the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind." So, you just have to respond to everything in the same way, and I'll let you watch a good show when the rest of the time comes. ”

"Yes, thank you uncle for your teachings."

"I won't tell you anything else, I'm sure you can live up to your expectations!"

In the eighth year of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, in the midst of a snowstorm, the crown prince Li Ying performed the Yuan ceremony. After Li Ying visited the Tai Temple, in recent years, he has been living in the Daming Palace, and Li Longji, who is rarely in the Taiji Palace, has been in the Taiji Hall of the Taiji Palace, and each has been rewarded according to the official qualities, which naturally makes the New Year of this year more joyful. Xu Yu is the Lantern Festival, since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Taoism has been enshrined as the state religion, so the fifteenth day of the first month as the birthday of the Shangyuan blessed Tianguan Ziwei Emperor, Taoism called this rì the Shangyuan Festival, and most of the people in the court did not call the Lantern Festival but called the Shangyuan. Since the beginning of the Shangyuan Festival, the city has been full of three lanterns as usual, in this Jinwu can't help but be in a good and festive atmosphere at night, Du Shiyi is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, this night with Du Shisanniang and Zhuying Qiuniang, plus Chibi and Liu Mo and several other servants followed, even Tian Mo was pulled out by him.

Sure enough, except for farming and study, Tian Mo, who stayed at home most of the time, saw the beautiful scenery of Chang'an City for the first time, but he felt that his eyes couldn't turn around, looking around, everything was curious. If Du Shiyi hadn't deliberately asked Liu Mo to follow this dark-skinned kid, I don't know where people would be rushed by the surging people.

At the end of the year, there are only these three days that are not in the night ban, but I only listen to the noise of gongs and drums everywhere, and I don't know how many people are gathered in front of the lamp towers and lantern wheels and lamp trees of fire trees and silver flowers. The ladies and ladies who have often been seen on the streets of rì have no scruples at this time, and they have no scruples about taking their servants and maids to ride their horses on the streets, and some of them have no scruples when they sit in ox carts, and when they talk and laugh with passing acquaintances, they have no scruples.

Du Shisanniang, who rode a horse in parallel with Du Shiyi, naturally looked extremely inconspicuous in this universal celebration. And even on the horse, it is better than those pedestrians to see higher and farther, Du Sanniang set up the pergola and looked into the distance, and suddenly shouted: "Brother, brother, there is a tug-of-war!"

In fact, it's not just tug-of-war. Under the lamp tower, there are hundreds of operas, singing and dancing, and all kinds of artists gather, among which there are many sword dances that are compelling with cold light and flickering sword energy. However, all of these are not as good as the 20-room-wide, 150-foot-high giant lantern tower at the gate of the West Market, only to see countless colorful lanterns on it, shining brightly, and I don't know how much admiration and surprise it has attracted. Du Shiyi and Du Sanniang stopped to watch for a long time, but they only heard someone in the crowd next to them say loudly: "This is a special lantern tower ordered by the saint, placed here to show that the people are happy and celebrate together!"

"If it is peaceful today, this is the ...... of such a scene"

"This is the prosperous atmosphere of Jun Ming and Chenxian!"

In the midst of all kinds of discussions, Du Shiyi saw that the flow of people was gradually increasing, so she had to pull the reins of Du Sanniang's mount and signal her to follow her and turn away. However, although this night is a night of fire trees and silver flowers, after all, it is not as bright as the lights everywhere in later generations, and the road is crowded and trampled, in order to prevent more people from having an accident, he had to take Du Sanniang and his entourage to a place with fewer people. When the group had some supper in a slightly remote restaurant, and then came out again, it was close to midnight, and among the countless colored lights, there was still a burst of music and singing in the wind.

"It's the musician from King Qi's mansion who has come out!"

Shangyuan's rì, the house of the kings and nobles, each musician immediately paraded to compete with each other, which is almost an unwritten convention. And for the king of Qi, who is known for his love of music and rhythm, no other limelight can be seen, but such a limelight must compete for the first place, only to see that on the passage where everyone has moved away, the four horses in front of the head are playing the bright glazed palace lamp, and the back is all musicians in brocade clothes, some cāo pipa, some blow the flute, and some beat the drum on the horse, but the most eye-catching thing is still on one of the open-top ox carts, standing on the top of the singer with a heavy Qiu Qi lips singing. The melodious singing reverberated in the night sky, and even the originally noisy crowd was quiet.

Du Shiyi and Du Sanniang were originally watching this rare lively scene with great interest, but after seeing this line of musicians slowly passing, there was one of the most familiar people who followed behind, and he was about to squeeze forward, but after a glance at the surging crowd, he thought about it and bent down and called Chibi over. Seeing that the big man nodded, he immediately strode over, effortlessly squeezed a way through the crowd, and finally reached the side of the man in white and said a few words, and the man in white immediately raised the lantern in his hand.

Wang Wei was stopped by Chibi and dismounted, and when he looked back at Du Shiyi, he recognized that their brother and sister were there, so he smiled and nodded, but only pointed to the front. Knowing that it would be impossible to cross the crowd and join together at this time, Du Shiyi took Du Shisanniang and the others and followed along the road on the side of the wall. After passing through the two squares all the way, Wang Wei got out, except for a Chibi who led a horse, but Wang Jin was nowhere to be seen. After the two met, Du Shiyi asked in surprise, "What about Wang Shilang?"
