Chapter 41: The Evening Breeze of the Begging Festival
When the tips of the leaves on the trees became greener and greener, even the night wind carried some steaming heat, and the cicadas were wrapped in the middle, and Chang'an City was also urged to enter the summer.
As soon as the summer arrives, I am more and more lazy, I would rather lie on the bamboo mat and read the book, than go out of the door to be exposed to the direct heat of the sun, the best is to put a few pots of ice cubes in the room, gently fanned by the maidservant, and my heart is cold.
A few days ago, I would go to the Spring Workshop, but these days are really too hot, so I didn't go, but Honggu's drama is more popular than before, and seeing how well she is doing in the Spring Workshop, I am relieved.
"Princess, the incense case has been arranged, hurry up and go with the slave and maid."
Aya pushed the door in with a hot wind, I turned over and pretended not to hear, and sure enough, Aya stood in front of the bed and started to talk again.
"Princess, if you don't get up again, you won't be able to catch up with the evening Xiangqiao Party, but you have said it to the girl."
I pouted and sat up helplessly from the bed, stretched out my hands and motioned for Aya to dress me, but my head was still hanging listlessly.
If it were on weekdays, I would definitely not get up, but I saw the most exciting part of the book, the son of the Zhang family was preparing to rob his relatives, but who made today a begging festival.
The Qiqiao Festival is the favorite festival of all the girls' families in Chang'an City, because on this day, the girl's family does not need to hide it, and can directly tell the seven sisters in heaven what they mean to pray for marriage.
In the evening, every family has to buy incense cases, I walked out of the door, and at a glance I saw the courtyard full of incense cases, there are flowers, fruits, and rouge powder bought from the Jinjin Building, small flower clothes, embroidery, etc., a dazzling array of dazzling.
These are all prepared for worshipping the seventh sister, praying that she will teach the girl's skillful craftsmanship and a happy marriage.
Since I can remember, when A-Niang was still there, every begging festival, A-Niang would take me to worship the seventh sister, at that time there were not many things in the palace, but A-Niang would prepare her embroidered sachet and some small clothes on the table, if it was better, maybe there would be a few meat buns.
Of course, sometimes the meat buns are eaten by me beforehand.
I think that the reason why I don't have a good female celebrity and a good marriage may be because I stole the meat buns on the incense case back then, and the seventh sister was angry with me, so I didn't have either.
Aya took the incense in my hand and carefully inserted it into the incense burner, still muttering something in her mouth, just like A-Niang, hoping that I would have a good marriage.
But I disappointed A-Niang.
"Aya, I want to eat meat buns."
Looking at the incense case that was full of place, I suddenly said that now there is no shortage of anything in the princess's mansion, and the meat buns were quickly brought over.
With the cool breeze in the evening, I ate three large meat buns, and this time I ate them openly, but I can't remember what I made when I worshiped the seventh sister.
It's just that I still remember that the day before the begging festival, I secretly took away a policy written by Jiang Zitang in my brother's study, and I don't know what it was written, only that after carrying his things in my arms, making a wish would be more effective.
After all, I put the happy person in my heart, and I take what he has in my heart, and no matter how sincere and sincere I think it is, I will hear it anyway.
Now, I have to guess that all the immortals in the sky are not generous, otherwise all my thoughts and thoughts would not have been unfulfilled for so many years.
When Zhu Yanhe came to the princess's mansion, the sunset in the evening had secretly returned to the bottom of the mountain, all kinds of lanterns were hung on the streets of Chang'an City, and the people on the street were accompanied by threes and twos, the girl's family was shy and timid, and the boy was graceful.
The people of the Northern Dynasty have always been very restrained, and there are no girls who can only stay in the boudoir, not to mention today's festival, there is no shortage of men and women on the street.
Zhu Yanhe walked to my side, looked at the men and women who boldly exchanged love gifts, and couldn't help but sigh: "Princess, you see how good they are." ”
It is not difficult to hear full of envy between these words, and I don't know what Qiao Anhe has done, Lord Zhu is no longer forcing Zhu Yanhe to get married, and he no longer confines her at home, but Zhu Yanhe's laughter is becoming less and less.
I bought a lotus lantern from a small stall, stretched out my hand to Zhu Yanhe, and said with a smile: "No, here you are." ”
Zhu Yanhe took it stupidly, a little unclear: "Princess, this is?" ”
I took Zhu Yanhe to her ear and smiled: "If you don't dislike it, I will give you 'love things' to each other, but this wishful husband, I can't be it, after all, I'm not the general~"
Zhu Yanhe's face quietly climbed up with two red clouds, slapped me lightly with his hand, and said shyly: "Princess, what are you talking nonsense, I don't want this lamp!" ”
"Okay, okay," I shoved the lamp back into Zhu Yanhe's hand, and when I saw that she finally had a little smile on her face, I snorted softly, "The things that this princess sent out will not come back." ”
"Really? How about the princess also give her a lantern? ”
The sudden sound frightened me and grabbed Zhu Yanhe's arm tightly, and it took a long time to come back to my senses and turn my head to see who the person with picturesque eyebrows was not Jiang Zitang.
And there was a person standing next to him, with a tall posture, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a hand on my arm, Zhu Yanhe was holding me tightly, looking ahead, without blinking.
I opened my mouth, only to know that I was still here: "Why is Prime Minister Jiang here?" ”
Jiang Zitang snapped and unfolded the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Let's just join in the fun." ”
