Chapter 186: Shangyuan
In the west courtyard, Ji Qingling was chatting with a few girls.
“…… Buy some lanterns and come back, pull a few ropes in the yard, make a batch of lantern riddles, and then sort out some colorful heads, so that everyone can guess at night and have a good time. She smiled, "It's rare that there is no curfew, three days in Shangyuan, let's spend two days at home, find a day to go out for a walk, so as not to live up to this great festival." ”
Shangyuan was approaching, and seeing that Gu Yanzhang couldn't come back, Ji Qingling planned to have some fun by himself.
Now Gu Pingzhong and Gu Pingli "committed suicide", one of them only waited for the street to be beheaded, the Gu family's huge industry was all dedicated, and Gu Yanzhang had nothing worth others to worry about.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingling was very relieved, so he wholeheartedly helped sort out some scriptures and commentaries, and waited for people to come back, so as to prepare for the exam and release the exam.
But when it comes to business, it is always necessary to combine work and rest, she thinks that she will soon go to the Yuan Festival, and take advantage of this rare festival, so she simply goes out to watch the lanterns at night.
Qiu Yue was okay, Qiu Shuang on the side heard her say this, her face opened with joy, and she said with a smile: "Girl, then which day are we going?" She thought about it, and actually twisted it a little, and asked, "If you meet someone you like in the light market, will the girl help the master?" ”
Before Ji Qingling could speak, Qiu Yue took a sip of her and said, "Xiao Nizi is only a few years old, and she is crazy!" ”
Qiu Shuang grinned and said, "I'm not in a hurry with Xiao Nizi, Sister Qiu Yue, you are not Xiao Nizi anymore, and you are not in a hurry?" ”
Qiu Yue's face turned red, and she was about to scold, Qiu Lu, who didn't want to stand quietly on the side, suddenly spoke: "Sister Qiu Yue, don't pay attention to her, listen to her mess up here!" Let's wait until we get to the capital, and it's not too late to look for her, so let's ask her to look for her family here! ”
Ji Qingling smiled and watched the three girls play a sharp role here, and only felt that these few words showed everyone's temperament to the fullest.
Qiu Yue is honest, Qiu Shuang jumps off, Qiu Lu looks silent, but in fact, he has the most in his heart.
Looking for it in Yanzhou, how can it be compared to looking for it in the capital.
Looking for it at this time, how can it be compared to looking for it months later.
They were all sold out to the Gu family, which can be described as both losses and prosperity.
Ordinary big families find some marriage for the little girl in the family, and half of them are paired with small servants and servants in the house, but the foundation of the Gu family is too shallow, from top to bottom, counting out the two slap people, the male servants have no family, only two hexagonal incomplete turpentine rosin, at this time to say kiss, can only go to the market to find the iceman.
Ji Qingling treats his subordinates very generously, promised Qiuyue early, gave her a deed, and found a good in-law, and there is a chance that she will be matched with a dowry.
But now Gu Yanzhang, the head of the Gu family, is just a white body, and he doesn't have much influence, the girl of the Gu family is looking for her mother-in-law's family, and no matter how good the other party's family background is, it is limited.
However, Qiuyue and the others all came from Jixian County, Gu Yanzhang's ability, and Jixian County's pursuit of him, how could they not know.
When Gu Yanzhang is gone, Jinshi is inevitable, once the head of the family is awarded an official and sent, they will go to their in-laws' house in the local area, compared with this moment, it is simply incomparable.
People go to high places, water flows to low places, a lifetime of things, naturally to be cautious, if the night for a year and a half, you can find a better husband, what does it matter if you are later!
Gu family, all those who enter the house are literate, such a girl, as long as there is a backer behind, go out to find a small landlord, live a comfortable life, although it is not easy, but it is not completely impossible.
Qiu Lu understands this truth, Qiu Yue vaguely understands, only Qiu Shuang, I didn't think about it at all, I just said whatever I wanted, but I was less thoughtful, only greedy to play and be greedy.
But this temperament is also good, where she is, it is very lively.
A few people talked for a while, and sure enough, Ji Qingling set a night of the Shangyuan Festival to go out to watch the lanterns, and the whole house poured into the nest, and came back after shopping, and the next day was not busy on duty, and after two days off, even a few meals were bought from the restaurant outside.
For a while, this decision was passed on, and everyone crossed their fingers and waited for the Yuan Festival, just looking forward to watching the lanterns.
There are many festivals throughout the year in Dajin, and the most lively is Shangyuan, from Gyeonggi Daju to remote villages, there are ways to pass everywhere.
Almost all of the servants in the family are from Jixian County, a small place in Jixian County, where there are few people and small places, and no matter how lively they are, they are limited. It's easy to get to Yanzhou, and I always think that although it's only been a long time, it's a big state after all, and there should be a lot of fun places.
After staying up for half a year, everyone stared at home on the evening of the day, this recovered the letter, I heard that the yamen hung out a notice, there was no curfew on the third day of Shangyuan, and there was a light market, almost everyone was happy, and I heard Ji Qingling say that everyone went to watch the lanterns together, and there was a holiday the next day, and they were even more happy to laugh together.
Everyone performed their duties, did their own things, silently counted the days, and in a blink of an eye, it was the fifteenth day of the first month.
On this day, Qiu Shuang watched the sky several times, and there were words in his mouth, saying, "Why is it not dark." And then said, "How slow it is!" Ji Qingling wanted to laugh when he heard it.
Youshi was having dinner, and at three o'clock in Youshi, they changed their clothes and went out, thinking that the carriage was difficult to walk, so they simply walked up and down.
The cook talked to Qiuyue next to her and complained: "I knew that my sisters were like this today, so I stopped cooking, one table of dishes was served, and one table of dishes was brought down, and none of them ate my craftsmanship, saying that they were going to eat fruit and drink on the street, where is the fruit drink so delicious?" Can you stand hungry? So that you know that your stomach is drumming at night, and if you come to me for food, I will only play stupid! ”
Qiu Yue smiled, the cook's child had already screamed, and said: "Mother, you don't know anything, you eat what you make every day, even if you are tired of eating the elixir and jade liquid, it is easy to go to the street to walk around, what kind of sex are you sweeping here!" ”
For a while, the cook was going to pinch her son's ear, but the little boy ran to Qiu Shuang and hid, using people as shields, laughing and making a mess.
There are not many people in the West Courtyard, from top to bottom, not counting the rough girl temporarily hired outside, now ten fingers are not satisfied, and a few dart masters, although they are hugging from the front and back, they are not considered to dominate the street.
This residence was originally in the middle of the city, but it was still under fire and has not yet recovered, but it is a little deserted, and as soon as you go out, it will be lively outside.
Ji Qingling didn't plan to go shopping together, the more people there were, the more they got in the way, so she simply told everyone that they were scattered, and she left Qiuyue and Qiulu by her side, and left the dart master behind.
