Chapter 55: Trivia (2)
Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, the capital began to be lively, and every family's New Year goods began to be bought in the month of La, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, it was necessary to paste the Spring Festival and the door god, and then welcome the arrival of the New Year.
Every year, from the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, until the fifteenth day of the first month, each family will produce lanterns, and usually people put the lanterns in a designated area, and the big family and the palace have a specific place for the exhibition of lanterns.
At this time, each family will come up with a very creative lantern and then let everyone see, and choose the best one. Although there is no color, these conventions are indeed extremely difficult to change.
The Shang Mansion became the prime minister because of Shang Rong, and even the position of the lanterns became wider and better.
This year, Aunt Hua of the Shang Mansion added another son to Shang Rong, and Shang Rong specially instructed the Qin family to organize the lantern exhibition better. Shang Rong just opened his mouth, but the tired Qin clan hollowed out his mind to arrange this matter.
Shang Liyuan still couldn't stand it anymore, so she asked the people below to quietly hand over ideas to the Qin family, and assigned some tasks, which made the Qin family feel better.
After the New Year, the Qin family had to take care of Shang Sihao's marriage, and he really couldn't spare extra energy to take care of other things, so he simply took Shang Liyuan's hand, and the Qin family simply handed over the matter of this lantern exhibition to Shang Liyuan, which made Shang Liyuan have a headache, and her own mother was really good at saving trouble.
The day before Chinese New Year's Eve, Shang Liyuan got up early, and then confirmed the lantern exhibition with the next person.
"Are the lanterns all arranged?"
"Okay, according to Miss's instructions, a fence has been put up to prevent a lot of people from stampeding."
"The lanterns and everything are ready, right? The pattern on it is all right, right? Can the quality of the lanterns be guaranteed? ”
Seeing that his master was so serious, Aru couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, but he answered the question, "Yes, I have already confirmed it last night, and there will be no problem." ”
"Well, that's good."
"Is the master going out for a walk tomorrow night?"
There are many people who go out to see the lantern exhibition on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, and many daughters of big families will go out to see, but they still have to wear a veil or a scarf, Aru thinks about Shang Liyuan's effort in the lantern exhibition, and I don't know if his master wants to see it with his own eyes.
"No, tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve, just keep the New Year at home."
"Yes."
Shang Liyuan confirmed the matter of the lantern exhibition, and picked up the mountain of account books on the table, which were sent to Shang Liyuan half a month ago, and they were all the income of Shang Liyuan's industries this year.
This time of year is the happiest and most headache for Shang Liyuan, happy to see that her money bag is rich, and her headache is the dense bills on the account book.
Ah Ru was also very interested and didn't bother anymore, and quietly grinded for Shang Liyuan on the side.
Pod was sent by Shang Liyuan to give a frightening reward, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, the next person is also the happiest time of the year, and the master of the big family will give the next person a reward to show that the master's family is generous to the next person, this matter is also given to Shang Liyuan by the Qin family, and Shang Liyuan has to take it hard.
I just don't know what it would be like for Shang Liyuan to know that she was busy here, and her own mother was teasing Shang Kang in the Lily Garden.
Imperial Palace - Hanyuan Palace
Xia Yan looked at the eldest prince who had been sitting at the desk for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, "Master, you have been reading this page for a long time?" ”
Jing Yu was a little stunned by Xia Yan's words, but quickly recovered, glanced at Xia Yan next to him, and then withdrew his gaze. Xia Yan knew that the master was unhappy, but the master was so distracted, who knew how long he would have to stand here? It's better to be glared at by your own master, anyway, there is no loss, and your own master can still come back to his senses and remember to do things.
"There's going to be a light show in the city tomorrow, right?"
"Back to the master, yes, the master is interested in going and seeing?"
"What are the arrangements in the palace?" Jing Yu asked with a frown.
"The concubine is busy with the marriage of the seven princes, Concubine Rong Xian is just lively in her Yong'an Palace, Concubine Xue is busy repairing the relationship with the three princes, and she also has to take care of the connection with the Xue family, so she has no extra energy to do it, not to mention that the concubines who are in charge of palace affairs are not Zhang Luo, Concubine Xue is just assisting in palace affairs, so she will not take the initiative to Zhang Luo." Xia Yan said everything he knew.
In this way, it seems that this year's Chinese New Year's Eve is not lively.
Although Chen Guifei did not organize the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, she still invited a small number of people to the palace for a gathering, such as the Chengguo Mansion, and then the Zhao family, who was about to get married.
Concubine Xue also invited the Xue family, only the eldest prince who did not have a queen mother passed away and no one cared, even the eldest son.
Fortunately, Jing Yu didn't care, "Then we'll go out of the palace this year to have a look." ”
"Yes. The subordinates will arrange it. Xia Yan was a little overjoyed when he heard Jing Yu's words, Xia Yan is a person who can't stay, there are not many opportunities to go out of the palace to play, of course he must firmly grasp the opportunity.
Jing Yu glanced at Xia Yan, who was overjoyed, and said coldly, "Let Xia Yi arrange it, and you will stay in the palace tomorrow." ”
"Don't, master." As soon as Xia Yan heard it, this is okay, just Xia Yi's stuffy head, what fun can the master have if he takes him, "Master, look, just Xia Yi's wood, you let him do things, how can there be subordinates in this kind of eating, drinking, and having fun, the master wants to have fun when he goes out of the palace, and his subordinates are the best candidates for the master." ”
Xia Yan tried his best to promote himself, and seeing that his master was indifferent, he finally made a killer move, "Besides, how boring is it for the master to go out alone tomorrow?" The subordinates will arrange for the master and Miss Shang to have a chance encounter, this Chinese New Year's Eve chance encounter, and on such a beautiful night as the lantern show, what a beautiful memory. Do you say? ”
Hearing Shang Liyuan's name, Jing Yu finally reacted a little, glanced at Xia Yan with a look of 'I'm so smart', and nodded.
Xia Yan and the others, as Jing Yu's personal guards, are very clear about Jing Yu's thoughts and plans, so they can say such shameless words that point out Jing Yu's thoughts.
And Xia Yi, who was in the dark, rolled his eyes when he saw Xia Yan's smug eyes, and silently labeled Xia Yan as an idiot in his heart.
With Jing Yu's approval, Xia Yan personally arranged a series of matters such as leaving the palace, leaving Jing Yu alone in front of the desk in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Xia Yan went out of the palace only to find that there was no suitable candidate to arrange to go to the Shang Mansion to deliver the message, but this matter was extremely important, Xia Yan was ruthless, and he found someone to hand a note to the big girl Aru next to Shang Liyuan, made an appointment and a place to meet, and did everything, Xia Yan began to arrange the things to be used in the lantern exhibition tomorrow night.
happily waiting for the appointed time to go to the appointment.
