Chapter 368: Tanabata Meeting
Leng Yi returned home in a sedan chair humming a little song.
He carried a box of sniper rifles wrapped in cloth to the inner house. There was no door to enter the inner house, I heard the chirping and laughter inside, and when I stepped into the door, I saw Zhuo Qiaoniang and Cheng Luojie sisters, as well as Xiao Zhouhou, Hua Wuxiang, grass spikes, and their personal maids, who were talking and laughing in the yard.
Leng Yi said: "Oh, what is so happy?" ”
"The official is back!" Zhuo Qiaoniang liked to say, greeted her, took the bag in his hand, handed it to the grass and took it back to put it away, looked back at the women, blinked her eyes, and said in a rare naughty way: "Official, guess!" ”
"I guess?" Leng Yi looked at the excited pretty faces and said, "Did you prepare something delicious for me?" ”
"Guessed right! Of course there are delicious ones! Not primarily for eating, though. ”
"What's that? I can't really guess yet. ”
Cheng Luojie slapped him lightly: "Give you a wake-up call, it's a festival!" ”
"Verse? Hehe, I've been so busy with things on the construction site that I've forgotten what day it is, and I still remember what the festival is! ”
Hua Wuxiang glanced at him and said, "Don't you remember such an important day?" Penalties! Punish a sea first at night! ”
Leng Yi was busy with official business, and he hadn't drunk for a while, and when he heard about drinking, he grunted and said with a smile: "Okay!" ”
Cheng Luoyan smiled: "He can't wait to drink!" Look at his gluttony! ”
Zhuo Qiaoniang held his arm distressedly and said, "The official is tired of work, it's time to have a good time and rest." We're going to have a lot of fun tonight. ”
Leng Yi smacked his lips, looked at the women, and said, "What is it?" So solemn? ”
Xiao Zhouhou smiled and said: "I'll also give you a wake-up call,—— 'The moon in Chang'an City is like practice, and every family holds needles and threads this night. The fairy skirt jade peikong knows that the heavens will not meet', have you guessed? ”
This is a Tang poem, not very famous, Leng Yi has not memorized it. No, the scene described in the poem is naturally known to him, a person who has traveled to the Song Dynasty for nearly three years. That is, in the Song Dynasty, a major festival comparable to the Spring Festival is called the "Qixi Festival"!
"Qixi Festival" is also the legendary Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet each other, Chinese Valentine's Day. Male ploughing and female weaving was the ideal family model of the ancient agrarian society, so. The celebration of this day by the ancient people was more about praying for the good management of agriculture like the Cowherd, and the same ingenuity as the Weaver Girl. Therefore, this festival is also called "Begging Festival". On this day, there will be many celebrations, the most famous. It is the female relatives of the family who thread needles and threads under the starry sky at night, begging to get the skillful hands of the female workers like the Weaver Girl.
Therefore, Leng Yi immediately called out: "Qixi Festival! ”
"That's right!" The women clapped their hands together and said happily.
Hua Wuxiang's mouth was the fastest, and said: "Brother, we have set up a stage in the back garden, and we want to invite the troupe to come to the house to sing in the hall!" It must be lively! ”
Leng Yi frowned slightly, thinking. This Qixi Festival is according to the Valentine's Day of the tryst between young men and women, setting up a stage to sing and play, isn't that a killing scenery?
Leng Yi frowned, although it was very small, but Zhuo Qiaoniang still felt it, and said in a low voice: "It's the old lady and the master's idea." Said that the house was lively. ”
According to traditional customs, during the Qixi Festival in the Song Dynasty, wealthy families wanted to invite opera troupes to sing at home. And. On the street, it will also be very lively, and there are also people everywhere who set up a stage to sing operas, mostly some good-hearted big families, who pay for the opera troupe to sing for the people. In addition, there are various colored buildings built by the government and various decorative lanterns. It also adds to the festive season.
Leng Yi patted Zhuo Qiaoniang's hand and said, "It's good, it's lively!" ”
"The old lady also said that our family is now beautiful. If you are rich, you can't forget those poor people, so you are ready to open a porridge field on the street to help those poor people! ”
Although Bianliang is the capital, it has only been 20 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and there are still many poor people. It is not uncommon on both sides of the street to flee for food, and to sell children and daughters.
Leng Yi said: "This is as it should be. ”
Hua Wuxiang said: "Brother, what kind of drama do you like to listen to?" Having said that, I told the Liyuan team to get ready to go. I'll sing it to you! ”
"I don't listen to much play, and I don't know what kind of play there is."
"Say what you like! There's always something to like! Hua Wuxiang was grateful and admired for Leng Yi because Leng Yi helped him pass all the way and finally won the champion, so he thought about the law to please him.
Leng Yi said: "Just the Cowherd and Weaver Girl." ”
"Then I'll help you order a "Queqiao Club", okay?"
"Okay!" Leng Yi smiled, "You're busy, I'm back in the house, and I still have some things to sort out." ”
"Go ahead, we'll be here for you." Zhuo Qiaoniang smiled.
Leng Yi returned to the study, but he didn't know what to do for a while. He sat there for a moment, feeling panicked, and decided to go for a walk around the construction site.
It was raining outside, and Leng Yi went by car. With an escort.
After the last distress, the Wumei Dao people strengthened their escort force, although Leng Yi did not let them find another man, nor did they use the forbidden army, but, for the sake of safety, all the disciples must be escorted before they can travel. In this way, there are dozens of people, and Leng Yi has allocated dozens of war horses, one per person, and the escort force is basically enough.
In the drizzle, Leng Yi took the escort team to the construction site of Jinmingchi.
Li Jilong was very excited, and rushed to report: "Commander Leng, we have all heard about what happened in Taimiao today, the sky is thundering, hehe, I really killed that kid!" Isn't this the sky having eyes! ”
Leng Yi smiled and nodded: "Exactly!" He shouldn't have a problem with the selection of their chambers, right? ”
"Of course there is no problem! We've set up their camp and we're getting ready to do it. The bunnies were all dejected, and they didn't have the same spirit as they did that day. Hehe, by the way, the generals of other troops also sent people to say just now that they obeyed the orders of the commander and could be selected at any time! ”
Leng Yi said happily: "That's good!" "I thought in my heart that these high-ranking generals must be replaced as soon as possible, otherwise, even if the people below are replaced, they still can't command, once something happens. I don't need it. However, this must be done after the selection of all lower-level generals has been completed.
Leng Yi asked Li Jilong to lead the way, entered Wu Peixiang's army construction site, and watched Li Jilong organize the selection competition. As soon as Wu Peixiang died, those generals and soldiers all competed honestly. Leng Yi happily presented the selected generals with letters of appointment and military uniforms.
After the inspection, it was already noon, and Leng Yi left the scene of Jinmingchi. Returned home.
When he arrived at the door, the porter told him that Meng Hua, the florist of the Queen of Flowers, had sent some red gardenias and asked where they were planted. Leng Yi knew that Hua Rui summoned him into the palace. He rewarded Meng Hua with wine, and naturally drugged Meng Hua in the wine, fascinating Meng Hua. Then lock it in the wing room and tell not to disturb. I changed my clothes and went out and came to the inner court of the palace. The stamen is not in Funing Palace, but in the imperial garden behind the palace.
Leng Yi came to the Imperial Garden, where Hua Rui had already set up a table of exquisite wine banquets, and asked all the servants to retreat, leaving only Meng Hua, a florist disguised by Leng Yi, to serve. After the moon door of the Imperial Garden was closed, Hua Rui let Leng Yi change into Meng Chang's mask and costume. After holding the intimacy for a long time, I sat down.
Hua Rui personally poured wine for Leng Yi, picked it up, and said with a sweet smile: "Meng Lang, today is Qixi Festival, the cowherd and weaver girls in the sky have met, we should also meet, right?" ”
Leng Yi smiled and nodded: "Exactly." Hua Rui didn't let Meng Hua come to me, and I would find a way to see Hua Rui. ”
Hua Rui was even more happy, her pretty face was slightly red, and she said: "Originally, Qixi was supposed to meet at night, but the concubine knew." Meng Lang's family has a beautiful wife and concubine to accompany him at night, and he can't come to meet the concubine, so it's only this afternoon. Come on! We're so happy together! ”
The two drank three glasses in a row.
Hua Ruiqiao's face flushed, and said, "Today, that Wu Peixiang." What's going on? Did God really thunder and kill him? ”
"Or else? If it weren't for God, who would have the ability to kill him under which circumstances? Leng Yi smiled and said: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!" What you said today is very good, as soon as you say this, those forbidden army generals are all scared, I went to Jinmingchi before, and they honestly accepted the selection and re-election of generals. ”
Blossom's face changed slightly, and she smiled a little unnaturally. Leng Yiqi said: "What's the matter?" ”
Hua Rui looked at the sky that was still dark and cloudy, and said in a low voice: "Then will the first emperor know about the two of us......?" ”
Leng Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, I am playing your ex-husband to meet you, you are originally husband and wife, what are you together?" Speaking of which, he was still later, so we met and became affectionate, and he couldn't say half a word. ”
"Really?" Stamen said happily.
Leng Yi pulled her into his arms, hugged her slender waist, glanced at the sky, and kissed the red lips of the stamen very loudly. also rubbed her twin peaks, looked at the sky and said, "Look, I kissed you and touched you, and I was not struck by lightning." ”
Hua Rui blushed, slapped his hand lightly, and said, "I hate it!" It's still like this in front of God! ”
Leng Yi picked up a glass of wine and sent it to her red lips: "Come!" Eat and drink! ”
Hua Rui ate half of it, but brought the rest to his mouth: "You eat it too!" ”
Leng Yi's heart fluttered, and he ate it from her cup. Both of them were mobilized, and they hugged each other for a while, until the fragrance on Hua Rui's body was strong, Leng Yi quickly stopped, diverted his attention, and asked Hua Rui: "In the past few days, what I asked you to do is you can do?" ”
Hua Ruijiao said angrily: "What did you ask me to do, which one didn't do it well?" Naturally, it was done. In the past few days, I have frequently summoned Lu Duoxun, and we have talked for a while. It's all done as you say. ”
"Is he here now?"
"It's coming! I asked him to come, and he helped me review the folds in the study outside the Imperial Garden. It's all inconsequential. Be prepared to do as you say, and keep him until dark. ”
"Good!" Leng Yi nodded and said, "All the people who stand in our way must be eliminated without leaving any of them!" ”
"Hmmm! You've been well planned, and you're the smartest person I've ever met. The stamen said sweetly.
"Do you mean me, or do you mean him?"
Hua Rui naturally knew who Leng Yi was referring to when he was talking about this. sighed and said, "If he is half as smart as you, our Houshu will not perish!" ”
Leng Yi kissed her: "What is lost, sometimes it can be recovered!" ”
"Hmmm! Won't I get it back now? Meng Lang! Hua Ruizi hugged him, her delicate body clinging to him, "With you, I have everything, and there is nothing else to ask for!" - Shall I play the piano and compose a song for you? ”
"We still have business to do, and when the things that should be done are done, there is no worry, so we can be happy and happy together."
"Okay!" Hua Rui sighed helplessly, "Listen to you." ”
"That's good!" Leng Yi kissed her, "Then follow our plan." ”
The two drank for a while, and they were both a little drunk, so Leng Yi said goodbye. He took off his mask, changed back into Meng Hua's outfit, left the imperial garden, and hobbled towards Funing Palace, when a palace maid stopped him: "Gonggong Meng!" ”
Leng Yi looked back, but it was Concubine Li De's personal maid Chunxiang. Hurriedly bowed and said, "It turned out to be Chunxiang girl!" Is there something wrong? ”
Chunxiang slapped her nose and frowned, "How much did you drink?" Smells of alcohol! ”
"Hehe, it's a little more, it's a Qixi Festival today, and the mother will reward it."
Chunxiang looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Our mother let you go!" Follow me! ”
"Oh! Is it a reward for me to eat and drink? ”
"Drinking like this, still thinking about drinking? Beware of you! ”
"Hehe," Leng Yi smirked, followed Chunxiang, and came to Kunning Palace, Concubine Li De's bedroom.
Concubine Li Defei smelled the smell of wine on his body, couldn't help frowning, covered her mouth and nose with a snow-white handkerchief, and said, "Why are you so happy today, eating so much wine?" ”
"Back to the mother, today a lady summoned Prime Minister Lu Duoxun, the two drank and sang, chanted poems against each other, and were very happy. Rewarded our subordinates with a lot of wine and food, so we drank a few more glasses, hehe. ”
Concubine Li Defei sighed and glanced at Chunxiang next to her, and there was surprise in their eyes.
Concubine Li Defei slowly shook the fan, walked to Leng Yi's side, possessed her, and chuckled: "Prime Minister Lu, have you all come to Hua Rui Niangniang these days?" ”
"yes, every day."
"What did they do?"
"Speak."
"Just talk?"
Leng Yi tilted his head, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe he was still drinking, I saw that when the prime minister came out, he smelled of alcohol on his body, by the way, he couldn't walk steadily!" ”
Concubine Li Defei was suddenly overjoyed and said, "What about the flower stamen?" Is she drunk? ”
"Drunk, every time, as long as Prime Minister Lu comes, she will get drunk, and then play the piano and sing or something. It's the same today, I guess, they're drunk now! ”
"Drunk now?" Leng Yi couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, "Just the two of them?" ”
"Yes! In the Imperial Garden. The mother blasted everyone out, and let me wait in one place. She and Prime Minister Lu were eating and singing in the pavilion in the imperial garden. Happy! Prime Minister Nalu still ...... Hee-hee-hee-hee"
