Chapter 431: Lantern Festival

Jingguo has a curfew, but the ban is temporarily relaxed on one day before and after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the people are allowed to walk at night, which is called "night". The door is not closed, and the whole people can carnival all night long. On the fourteenth day, the county lord of Anle wrote a very formal post and asked the children to go shopping and watch the lanterns tomorrow.

Yaya took the post to ask her mother for advice, "Mother, do I want to reply to a post?" ”

Yan Hagi looked at Fu Zhixing, who was sitting on the side, "Lord Shizi, do you want your daughter to go?" ”

"Take your brothers with them." Fu Zhixing peeled a tangerine for Yan Hao.

"Oh" Yaya smiled in response, "Mother, how should I reply to the post?" ”

"Just say that you will go, and I will take you to your brother and your sister." Yan Hagi paused, "You ask Jun'er, if you want to go with you, don't take her with you, you take her to play in the snow, and you will be cold." ”

Yaya stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and went out to write a reply.

The next day is the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and at noon, a lantern is hung in the Anguo Mansion. There are palm-sized lotus lanterns and orange lanterns, as well as slightly larger palace lanterns, marquee lanterns, large round lanterns, and beauty lanterns. Craftsmen were also found in the garden to carve a few ice lanterns.

The old prince and the eldest princess of Chengyang are getting older, and their actions are getting slower and slower, and Yan Hagi is very lively during the festival, so that they can also watch the lights at home.

After dinner, the girl went back to the room to dress up. A few years ago, Yan Hagi made her a lot of new clothes, and Yaya picked out a jacket with apricot red embroidered folded branches and plum blossoms, and a skirt with light blue pleats and silver silk.

"Sister Lamei, comb my hair again, I don't want to comb my hair, you comb back to the little braid that my mother combed for me." Yaya is a little girl who loves beauty.

The maidservant girl combed her hair, wrapped a golden ring of plum blossom tassels around her head, pinned a bright beaded flower, tied a small bell flower at the end of the braid, wore a long-lived golden lock around her neck, pasted a big red flower on her forehead, and a small gilt plum blossom earring on her ears.

After dressing up, Yaya looked around in front of the mirror, and praised herself: "Yaya is a beauty." ”

The little beauty ran into the warm pavilion with her farts, "Dad, mother, isn't the girl beautiful?" She also spun around, and the bells tinkled as she moved.

"Beautiful, alluring the country and the city." Yan Hagi hugged her daughter and kissed her little face.

"Pretty like your mother." Fu Zhixing attributed his daughter's beauty to his wife.

Zhuo'er, who was about to come in outside the door, heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and his father praised his sister for having to bring his mother.

"Big brother, what are you doing standing at the door? Not in yet. Yue'er walked over and said. He was followed by Yan Yuanxuan and Yan Shan, Jun'er refused to go after knowing that his mother was not going, even if Yue'er kept saying that he could sweep the street and guess the lantern riddle, Jun'er did not agree.

Zhuo'er glanced at him, opened the curtain and walked in.

"Take a good look at your sisters and sisters, don't let people run into them." Fu Zhixing admonished his eldest son.

"Whoever dares to bump into me and Yaya, I'll beat him." Yan is dressed in men's clothes, if he doesn't have ear holes, he is a handsome young man.

After sending the children out, Yan Hagi took Fu Zhixing's hand, "They went outside to watch the lanterns, and we watched the lanterns at home." ”

The sky was already dark, and the lanterns hanging on the eaves under the corridor and on the treetops in the courtyard were all lit, and they were brilliant and dazzling. Yan Hagi also had ingenuity, hanging dozens of small lanterns on the rockery, and making small mechanisms, so that they would turn on and off for a while, just like the stars in the sky.

"What do you look like?" Yan Hagi asked with a smile.

"It is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen for nine days." Fu Zhixing still understands her mind very well.

The smile on Yan Hao's face deepened, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful." Fu Zhixing looked at her with low eyes, "Not as good-looking as you." ”

"If I don't look good, how can I be fascinated by the first beautiful man in the capital." Yan Hagi laughed at him.

The couple enjoyed the lantern, the wind was blowing, and the chill doubled, Fu Zhixing hurriedly took Yan Hao back to the room, washed and went to bed to rest. Yan Hao's body is not completely clean, and the couple can only cover cotton robes and sleep purely.

After the Shangyuan Festival, this year will be over.

On the morning of the 17th, Wu Taishi begged for bones due to illness, and the Holy Lord retained him to continue in office. After the two monarchs and ministers played three invitations and three stays, the saint allowed it, and said with tears: "The monarch and the minister are not negative." ”

Wu Taishi originally wanted to wait for his grandson to come out before retreating, but he fell ill a year ago and fell again, and now he has to take crutches to walk.

The saint was also very interesting to this old minister, not only let him continue to enjoy the full salary, reward 1,000 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, and 1,000 acres of fertile land, but also exempt the descendants of the martial family from taxes, labor and military service until the death of the martial master.

Such a favor made the civil and military officials envious of the martial master, and the fact that the saint and the martial master got along with the monarch and the minister was also rumored to be a good story.

After Yan Hagi heard this, he said to Fu Zhixing: "The Holy Master values the Martial Master very much." "When her grandfather was in office, the saints did not exempt the descendants of the Yan family from taxes, labor and military service.

"Compensation." Fu Zhixing said indifferently. Wu Taishi contributed a granddaughter to come out, "hard work and high achievement".

Yan Hao was stunned for a moment, and asked tentatively, "Princess Lu?" ”

Fu Zhixing bowed his head.

Yan Hao frowned, "Now that Master Wu has retired, Princess Lu's reliance is gone, and King Lu won't attack Princess Lu again, right?" ”

Fu Zhixing hooked the corner of his lower lip, "No, there is also the Hou family." ”

After Wu Taishi became a master, there was not much fluctuation in the court, and it was not a change of emperor. Although King Lu was dissatisfied, he couldn't stop it. It's just that for a month, I didn't enter Princess Lu's courtyard, and I used to go to the fifteenth day of the new year.

On the evening of the sixth day of the second month, King Lu's concubine Guo Shu gave birth to a son for him, and King Lu had another concubine after losing a son-in-law.

In the early morning of the seventh day of the first lunar month, the East Palace added Ding, and the prince's concubine also gave birth to a son. The mother is expensive by virtue of the son, and the prince gave her a position and became a concubine (Baolin).

Yan Hao sent people to the Lu Palace's Mansion and the East Palace, and each sent a gift.

In the evening, when the rain was pouring down and there were no pedestrians on the street, a horse-drawn carriage drove by, "My lord, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, do you want to find a place to take shelter?" The groom asked, wiping the rain from his face.

"It's still early, so take shelter and wait for the rain to light up before going home." The man in the car replied.

But right here, the carriage suddenly shook violently, and the people in the carriage said unhappily: "Hurry up and stabilize the carriage." ”

As soon as the words fell, suddenly the curtain of the car was lifted, he didn't see it clearly, the silver light flashed, and then he smelled a smell of blood, "bang", he leaned forward, his eyes widened, and he couldn't bat himself.

"Boss, there is no one alive." Masked black-clad humane.

"Withdraw."

The group of black-clothed masked people came silently and left silently.
