……

As soon as Yan Huangyu and the others left Pei's mansion on the front foot, Mrs. Pei called Pei Jinzhu to Rongtai Courtyard to reprimand her and punished her to be grounded for a month.

Pei Jinyao was not happy or unhappy about this result. She couldn't understand why Pei Jinzhu always despised Pei Jinyao. They are cousins who grew up under the same roof. Even if you don't get close, there is no reason for harm.

Webster said that Pei Jinzhu just couldn't see that the second room was doing well. Pei Jinyao agreed.

After this incident, Wei allocated a few maids and wives in Pei Jinyao's yard in case of emergency.

Soon it was the Shangyuan Festival.

A large family had dinner in Mrs. Pei's Rongtai Courtyard, and Pei Yu took Pei Yao and Pei Jinyao out to watch the lights.

Pei Jinzhu was still grounded, Pei Jinwan had the heart to follow Pei Jinyao together, and Pei Jinwan pushed it clean with both soft and hard. Although Pei Yu is in the front yard, he knows all the things Pei Jinzhu did. Pei Yu doesn't resent or hate Pei Tingwen or Pei Jinwan, but if he is allowed to get close, he really can't get close. What's more, the three of them don't have many opportunities to enjoy the lanterns together, and he doesn't want multiple outsiders to follow him.

Pei Jinyao is still dressed in men's clothes, with neat water-red embroidered eight-treasure arrow sleeves, which makes her skin as white as snow and her eyes smart. Standing with the Pei Yu brothers, they are all handsome.

Mrs. Pei ordered the maid not to be careless, to serve well, and to give a few words of advice, and one of them gave ten taels of silver to buy food and drink.

The light market is located on Suzaku Street. From afar, the lights are brilliant and crowded.

There are many horses and many people in the front car, and the big car can't run in vain. The three brothers and sisters simply got out of the car, and Pei Yu walked slowly forward with the flow of people holding one in one hand.

"Third sister, I'll win you the most beautiful lantern later." Pei Yao patted her chest and reassured.

Pei Jinyao nodded with a smile.

Pei Yu grabbed her hand and whispered: "You are not allowed to be naughty, it would be terrible if you let the flower shooter be taken away." ”

Pei Jinyao coped with the past with a little weakness. She has big things to do, and she's thinking about how to get out.

"Let's go see the ice lantern first. When the fireworks are set off, go to the Crane Ming Tower, and eat while watching. Pei Yan's eyes lit up, and he raised his head and said.

This year's Lantern Market was premiered by Liu Jian, the fourth prince. He ordered people to come ice cubes from the clouds of the Shiding River, and asked skilled craftsmen to carve ten huge ice lanterns to take the perfect meaning.

That's why there are so many people watching the lanterns this year.

Pei Jinyao also said that she wanted to go. Actually, she wasn't interested in ice lanterns, but it was a crowded and lively place, so it was easier to sneak out of the room.

Of course, Pei Yu will not disappoint his younger siblings and take them to see the ice lanterns.

The three brothers and sisters stopped and went, but before they reached Donghua Gate, Pei Jinyao had ghee abalone snails in his left hand and willow leaf candy in his right hand.

Pei Yu saw that her little red mouth was like a squirrel, and she had to eat quickly and beautifully, and couldn't help but remind, "You keep your stomach, and there will be fried prawns later." ”

When Pei Jinyao heard this, she immediately handed the food in her hand to Cui Qiao. Pei Yu laughed.

A short distance forward, I saw ten huge ice lanterns standing in the middle of the street, and on the left and right were tents selling lanterns.

Most of the people came for the ice lanterns, and the people were crowded and the people were beaten by people. Pei Yu firmly grasped Pei Jinyao and Pei Yao's hands, with a solemn face, very like an eldest brother.

These ten ice lanterns are lined up in a row, which is very imposing. The first is a two-person high palace lamp, which is inlaid with seven-colored glass, and the candlelight reflects it, which is dazzling. And then there is the cute tiger, the domineering peacock......

The tool is lifelike and exquisitely carved.

Pei Yao looked at it for a while and felt bored, and wanted to guess the lantern riddle. Pei Yu also wants to win a lottery for Pei Jinyao. But seeing that Pei Jinyao was quite interested, he divided the people into two groups at the moment. Said to meet at the Heming Tower later.

As soon as the brothers left, Pei Jinyao ordered someone to buy rolls, ghee muffins and sugar gourds...... Anyone she could call famous was clicked one by one. She took Cui Qiao away first, and the rest of the words were gone.

Pei Jinyao looked at the servants and maids who had not entered the crowd, hurriedly put on the hood, and walked in the opposite direction.

There are stalls selling lanterns everywhere, and Pei Jinyao chose one at random.

The stall owner is a father-in-law who is over the age of six, and he is very skillful. The lanterns in his place are not quite the same as those in other places. The rabbit lamp is smart, and the marquee is exquisite. There are even lotus lanterns the size of children's fists.

Pei Jinyao had a big hood on her head, and her father-in-law only saw her white chin, and concluded that this was a cute and playful little girl, and handed her a lotus lamp with a smile, "Take it and play with it." ”

Pei Jinyao was stunned and hurriedly took out the money from her purse.

"Don't want money. Don't want money. This is to add to the head to coax the child. ”

Pei Jinyao thanked him, and then pointed to the plain white hat square lamp on the rope and asked how much it was.

The man replied, "Twenty wen." I was afraid that she was young and didn't understand the hardships, so she said: "The bamboo used for the bones, the surface is the best Suzhou silk, and it is easy to use to paint ladies and landscapes." Deng Shanchang of Changming Academy bought a hundred of them, and the remaining few were sold for a fee. ”

"Why did Deng Shanchang buy so many lanterns?"

The father-in-law was happy, "Deng Shanchang is a good man." In order to pay the lifters who entered Beijing, so that they could prepare for the exam with peace of mind. Every New Year's Day, they set up a tent to sell some calligraphy and paintings. Deng Shanchang said that he wanted to try selling lanterns this year, and if it was good, he would buy lanterns from me. He pointed with his hand, "Well, that's the tent of Changming Academy." ”

Pei Jinyao listened and counted twenty dollars for him. I found a leeward place, took out a charcoal pen, imitated the child's handwriting and wrote four proverbs on the lantern, turned my head to look at the tent of Changming Academy, and walked over with the lantern.

……

Suzaku Street, from the crowd.

"Liu Shizi is generous, and he is grateful." Deng Shan is dressed in a long cloth robe, with white hair and white beard and a kind face.

Every year, during the Shangyuan Festival, the students of Changming Academy will paint on the lanterns or write poems to raise funds to support students from poor families or those who go to Beijing to take the entrance examination. As soon as Liu Tong made a move, he was five hundred taels of snowflake silver, and in order to express his gratitude, Deng Shanchang invited him to eat and drink.

Liu Tong is still dressed in a linen shirt, and his gestures are gentle and elegant, "Deng Shan's words are serious. ”

Congzhongju is famous for its exquisite dishes, but the table is full of delicacies, but there are only three or five bites of each. If it weren't for Liu Tong's high price of five hundred taels to buy a lamp. Deng Shanchang is really reluctant to treat here.

"It's not easy to travel thousands of miles to Beijing to catch the exam. The variables encountered along the way are even more numerous. Losing money and things is a trivial matter, and I am afraid that a bad one will get sick and hurt his life. Deng Shanchang remembered the past when he was young, and said with affection: "Liu Shizi's righteous act today is to rebuild the students who are in danger." ”

Liu Tong saw that the more he said, the more exaggerated he became, he hurriedly waved his hand and said humbly: "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it." I also hope that Deng Shan will be mentioned to others for a long time."

After a little thought, Deng Shanchang understood his intentions.

After King Kang was crowned king, he went to the fief. is not very close to Prince Miao or Emperor Yifeng. It is also a loss of intimacy to save his life. He was also cautious, and sent his son and daughter to Emperor Yifeng's nose. If it is known that Liu Tong is kind to his students and reaches the ears of Emperor Yifeng, it will be a curse rather than a blessing.

"I have ordered someone to send that lantern to the palace, in other words, it is the credit of the people of Qianyun Mountain, and it has nothing to do with me."

Deng Shanchang's eyes lit up.

In the old years, Emperor Yifeng gave Changming Academy a piece of calligraphy. The payment is a Qianyun mountain person. Liu Tong spent five hundred taels of silver to buy a virtuous name for Emperor Yifeng, which was both flattering and pleasing.

Deng Shanchang suddenly couldn't understand the indisputable Liu Shizi in front of him.

After three rounds of drinking, Shi Zhu knocked on the door in a panic and came in, leaning down and whispering in Liu Tong's ear.

A trace of doubt flashed in Liu Tong's eyes, and he turned his head to Deng Shanchang and said, "There is actually a lantern with proverbs written in the shed of Changming Academy. ”

Deng Shanchang's hand holding the wine cup trembled, "How, how come?" ”
