Not to mention that Zhang Hu and Zhang Bi sent the brothers away that day, Ji Qingling didn't know which family was so entangled to repay the favor, she seemed to think that this was a gift, and coaxed Xiao'er away, so she ended the matter.

She returned to the room, thinking that she had said two days ago that she would hold a lantern banquet at home, and she had promised a lot of words, and she should have prepared at this time, but because of Zhang Bi's matter, it delayed a lot of effort, so she summoned Qiuyue over and asked about the situation.

Qiu Yue smiled: "The girl doesn't have to worry, the last time I told Qiu Shuang to do this, she was more concerned than anything, and now the color and color are all done properly, only the riddle is missing - I thought about taking some effort today, turning the book and copying it, and that's it, but she has a lot of ideas, saying that in addition to what I am looking for, everyone has to come up with a riddle, everyone smokes to guess, and is guessed, and the riddle will give a gift that you guess, and if you don't guess, you will give a gift of the riddle." ”

Ji Qingling also smiled and said, "She has a lot of ideas." ”

asked Qiu Yue to take ten dollars out to make a lottery head.

At night, she sent out a few girls and said, "You play with you, I only read in the house, and if there is anything, I will ring the bell." ”

For a while, the house was empty, although it was the Shangyuan Festival, she lived alone, facing a lamp, sorting out the scriptures by herself, but she also felt that it was interesting.

Only Qiuyue and the others arrived in the courtyard, and everyone up and down looked at it once, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see the girl?" ”

Qiu Lu said: "The girl said that she was here, and everyone in the yard was not comfortable, so she asked us to enjoy ourselves!" ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief for a while, looked at each other, and was a little funny.

Qiu Shuang's heart was straightforward, and he only said: "It's not a young master, the girl will come when she comes to play, and I'm not afraid...... But in the end, it's not as easy as our subordinates! ”

Everyone laughed at her, and sure enough, they ate wine and feasts, guessed riddles, talked and laughed, and had a good Lantern Festival.

Ji Qingling was in front of the table, accompanied by the ups and downs of laughter and frolicking in the courtyard, she couldn't help but laugh, she put down her pen, listened to it for a while, and couldn't help but think about it in her heart, guessing where the fifth brother was in the camp at the moment, what he was doing, whether he had any kung fu to be good at Wenshu, and when he could come back.

She was thinking about it, but saw Qiu Yue taking the lead, and walked in with Pine Jie and Rosin each holding a one-foot square wooden box.

Ji Qingling was a little surprised and asked, "Why don't you play with everyone, but what's the matter?" ”

Rosin Xiang said with a smile: "Say hello to the girl, I have already received the young master's order before leaving, and I want the two of us to bring something to the girl today." ”

As he spoke, he put the wooden box in his arms on the ground, opened it, and carefully lifted the contents out.

- It turned out to be two marquees.

Before she could speak, Qiu Yue took out a pine branch from her sleeve, lit it at the oil lamp on the table, and lit the marquee lamp brought by the rosin and pine knots, and immediately extinguished the oil lamp.

The two scholars held the lamp pole and held the marquee in their hands high.

In the dark night, two round lamps and jade pots turn brightly, each with six sections, painting flowers, birds, insects and fish, birds and beasts flying phoenixes, the face is lifelike, and the heat of the candle in the middle is excited, and the pattern slowly rotates with the rotation of the shaft wheel.

Sure enough, the reflection fish looms, and the shadow rides vertically and horizontally, which is very good-looking.

After a long while, after the twelve paintings had been turned two or three times, Song Jie said: "The young master said that Shangyuan couldn't live with the girl this year, so he made two marquees, asked the girl to enjoy and play, and asked you to rest early, don't stay up too late." ”

After finishing speaking, the two scholars hung up the lamps, and without saying much, they quietly retreated with Qiu Yue.

Ji Qingling looked at the two marquee lamps hanging on the door of the inner room, and was really surprised and delighted.

She also wanted to make a lamp for her fifth brother, but she only planned to make a delicate lantern to express her heart.

The marquee is so troublesome, even on the ordinary small vendors, they may not be sold, they have to go to the big shops to choose, and I don't know how much effort he spent to make it.

Ji Qingling lit the oil lamp again, and extinguished the two marquee lamps, and then looked at the twelve samples carefully at the light for a while.

The fish and shrimp are smart, the horses are proud, the birds and beasts are gods, the flowers and plants are fresh, and the sketches are all Gu Yanzhang's brushwork.

Ji Qingling couldn't help but show a smile, and suddenly rejoiced that the servants were all gathered in the courtyard at this moment, leaving their own alone in the house.

She leaned under the oil lamp, carefully figuring out the meaning of the painting, and when she saw the blue birds standing on the branches in the last picture, she only felt a burst of heat surging to her face, and her whole body was even warmer, holding the lamp in her hand, pursing her mouth, just thinking that the fifth brother was in front of her at this time, and she didn't want to be on the side, the two held hands and looked at each other, even if they didn't speak, it was good.

She looked at it for a while, thought for a while, and after a long time, she put the lamp on the table, lifted the pen, wanted to write something, but couldn't write anything, simply put away the desktop, looked at the two lights, and was stunned for a long time, as if she was thinking about something, as if she didn't think about anything.

Ji Qingling's heart was sweet and disgusted, but he felt that his behavior was really a little crooked, but when he turned his mind, he felt that no one else knew anyway, and he was just tired of himself.

Just don't let the fifth brother know, otherwise it will be so embarrassing!

She climbed into bed early that night, but she didn't fall asleep for a long time, tossing and turning, just wanting to make a return gift, but Shangyuan has passed, but it is not very interesting to return to the lantern, and then go back to the side, ordinary things only feel too simple, but if there is anything to think about, I am even more afraid that the fifth brother will get it, even if he says it repeatedly, he still has to prepare things for himself.

was going to take the liberation test, but he was worried that his days would not be enough, and he really didn't want him to spend more effort on such irrelevant things.

This marquee is a bit too much, and I don't know how much effort to waste, so that after she receives it, she is happy and distressed about the energy - how many books can she read!

Although he knew that if he told the fifth brother, he would definitely reply to something, "It's easy to be irritable just by reading books, and doing some side things is more relaxed." She wanted to say something about "once and for all", but she still didn't want to.

If you are restless, it is better to go out for a walk, or to lie down, but don't use your brain, lest you get tired.

She thought about it in her head, but she still didn't have a formed idea, so she simply put the matter aside first, there are still many days before the fifth brother comes back, and there is time for her to think slowly.

In the afternoon of the next day, Matsujie came in and told her what she had heard in the market during the day.

“…… Many children and women were lost, and the yamen was searching from house to house in the city, but because there had been no curfew for the first two days, and the city gates were not closed, I did not know whether people were still in the city of Yanzhou; There are also people who go to the door of big households at night to grab money, crowded and trampled, hurting people do not count, and stepping on seven or eight, now Shangyuan has not passed, and there are many things to do in the city; There is also the one who walks on the water, which has not stopped for two nights, but fortunately, there are people watching, and the fire is not big, and it does not hurt people, but only burns some things. ”
