At the end of the thirteenth day of the first month, the soldiers were escorted by the Terracotta Division, and four carriages left the Qingyun Zhai kiln.

At this point, the kiln returned to normal order, starting from the beginning of the production of offerings to the palace, until the carriage with the glass palace lamp left, and the Xia family sent the family to guard the courtyard, and they all went home to do their own errands.

Shao Yi and Xia Zitang no longer have to stay in the kiln all day.

Speaking of this, Xia Yanqing was still a little embarrassed. For this kind of thing, these two people, for the Chinese New Year, didn't even have a chance to get together with relatives and friends, and they spent all their time here.

…………

As in previous years, from the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, there are lanterns on display one after another, and people have also begun to enjoy the lanterns for three days, but the number of lanterns is not very large, and the corresponding people are not many.

By the time of the fourteenth, most of the merchants and wealthy houses were able to hang their lanterns.

Even the big girls and little daughters-in-law who don't go out much every day can come out on this day to see the lights, join in the fun, and if the family is better, they can also buy some snacks and small things.

That is, on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, a pair of dazzling palace lanterns were hung at the north end of Suzaku Street and Dongshi Street and Xishi Street.

When the sky is dark and the night is getting thicker, lanterns of various colors and styles show colorful halos, and people watching the lanterns also come out one after another.

At this time, the poor and the rich can walk in the same alley and watch under the same lanterns.

Children who are screaming and jumping can also beg for a copper coin to buy a few jelly beans or other snacks at this time.

Although there are many lanterns and noisy people, it is still difficult to hide the dazzling brilliance of the glass palace lanterns.

From afar, in the halo of countless colors of paper and rice paper, the bright glass lanterns attract the attention of men and women.

Nowadays, most of the people in the capital know that in this world and in the palace, there is a thin and transparent sheet that can be inlaid in the window.

The glass windows do not block the daylight, and you can see through the windows to see outside.

After being pointed out by people, people watching the lights on the street soon knew that the extraordinarily bright light at the end of the street was a lantern made of glass.

For a while, the street watching the lights became more lively, and in the sound of discussion and explanation, people slowly converged at the north end of the street. And then there was the same exclamation from so many different people.

It is the emperor's order to display the glass palace lantern, and the palace lantern is precious, and the government arranges someone to guard the palace lantern.

These people have passed the earliest astonishment, and then they have the qualifications to despise others.

When a soldier heard someone tell him that this was glass, he raised his chin and said in a ostentatious tone, "What do you say?" This is not ordinary white glass, this is a palace lamp made of sandwich glass. ”

A scholar below saw that the soldier's attitude was not bad, and asked, "We also saw the golden peony picture, but isn't it attached to the glass?" After all, it's still glass, right? ”

The soldier sneered and pointed to the lantern, "See? The veined branches and hollow leaves of the golden peony are not pasted, they are all sandwiched between the glass and built into one with the glass. If it's pasted, do you still need to hang it here? You dare to say it. ”

"Huh? Cast into this transparent thing? How is this possible? The scholar exclaimed, and the others exclaimed.

Another voice said: "Do you know the price of glass today?" I heard that the price has been asked to six hundred taels, but no one is still willing to make a move. This kind of peony is sandwiched, how much silver is this worth? ”

"Yes, such a beautiful painting, look, and how the texture as thin as silk is placed intact in the middle of the glass? It's a masterpiece! ”

While watching carefully, everyone pointed and discussed, "Hey, do you see bees and butterflies in the peony bush?" Look, that's the one, still moving? ”

Immediately someone exclaimed, "Sure enough!" It's like butterflies and bees, trembling and moving! ”

When everyone heard the sound, the picture of the peony with rich flowers could not block the candle flame in the palace lamp, and in a crystal clear flower shadow, there were indeed a few looming butterflies and bees trembling.

With these bee butterflies, it immediately makes the magnificence of the glass palace lamp dyed with interest and vitality.

"Oh my God, if it's really God's favor, we can see such a miraculous thing, right? W, how did this come about? The exclamations continued.

Another soldier laughed, "Haven't you seen it?" See what's inside? Inside is a very thin wire, and the bee butterflies welded on the top have the feeling of trembling and coming to life. Isn't it like you're really flying? ”

An old man praised and said, "Glass is a rare thing, and it is even more clever to integrate gold filigree paintings into glass." This is the emperor's old man's benevolence and sainthood, otherwise, where can you and other little people see the magical things that only exist in the Heavenly Palace? ”

Everyone looked at it, and someone recognized it, and whispered to the people around him: "This is the official master who works in the Shuntian Mansion, I have seen it outside the yamen." ”

"Oh oh, that's right, it must be the emperor's benevolence, showing the palace lanterns to the people, so that we can open our eyes."

"I don't know who makes glass, and what means can be used to make such a miraculous thing?"

"You don't know that? Is it the Xia family and the fourth aunt and grandmother who left home? Don't know? At the beginning of last year, the one who married Wang Dacaizi, Xia Xiaoniang, remembered it? ”

Someone around immediately opened their mouths, "Yes, it turned out to be that one, isn't that one dealing in pottery?" ”

"Cut, does that aunt know if you're older? Dealing with pottery is a trivial matter, and now this glass is a great power! ”

"That's not harmony...... Alas, the Wang family and the second master of the Wang family, a two-champion family, it's a pity? ”

"What is one door and two champions, is one champion good?"

“……”

Under the glass palace lamp, more and more people from far and near gathered, and people kept being cleared away, and people kept coming to watch.

Wang Xi was originally standing on the periphery with Xu Qinghui in his arms, and he was already planning to leave, but he still listened to the voices of people coming and going.

They were also surrounded by two girls, Qingdai and Bilan, and two little girls, and these four people were also nervous and protected on the side, for fear that someone would bump into Xu Qinghui.

Wang Xi and the others tried their best to restrain their emotions and complexions, but to little avail.

Qingdai, Bilan and the two little guys also paid attention to their surroundings with bated breath, for fear of making any unexpected movements, which would make the master even more unhappy.

Xu Qinghui is going to give birth in a month, and she shouldn't have come out. But her pregnancy is very stable, and there are few things, and this is the first time she can go out with Wang Xi to see the lights.

Therefore, the two of them thought about staying away from the crowd and watching the excitement on the periphery.

Unknowingly, I came here with the flow of people, and I not only saw the glass palace lamp, but also heard all kinds of people's discussions.

Especially regretting the discussion of the second master of the Wang family and leaving, even if you can't hear it.

After walking for a while, there were gradually fewer people around him, looking at the noisy and lively crowds and lanterns not far away, Xu Qinghui finally couldn't hold back, looked at Wang Xi provocatively, and asked in a low voice: "Second Master regrets it, right?" ”

Wang Xi was trying his best to restrain his emotions from being exposed, and when Xu Qinghui suddenly asked such a sentence, he was immediately stunned.

Xu Qinghui saw him look like this, and his heart was even more sad, but he stubbornly asked again: "The second master really regrets it, right?" Xia Yanqing has such great power, if the second master can become a husband and wife with Xia Yanqing that day, and love her with all his heart and protect her, not only is the second master and the Xia family a pair of immortals, but the Wang family can also be prominent as soon as possible, and even because of the Xia family's ......"

"Okay," Wang Xi came back to his senses and hurriedly interrupted her, "No one has said that, don't think nonsense." ”
