Chapter 197: Mama Qiu's Mystery
"Is it Qing Ming?"
Qing Ming raised his head and looked at Qi Yu.
Qi Yu looked at it when he heard this, and was startled by the dense spots on Qing Ming's face, and said suspiciously, "There are obviously no spots on his face just now." ”
"So Qi Shizi, you are looking at the wrong person."
Li Xu made a final decision, "Qing Ming and the maid in Tsing Yi who did not have spots on her face as you said are obviously not the same person. ”
"Impossible," Qi Yu grinned as he touched the back of his head that was still in pain, "I still have a swollen bag in the back of my head, which was smashed by someone!" ”
Li Xu said, "If you dare to smash the son of the world in broad daylight, this person must be severely punished." ”
"Gonggong Peng, you carefully check the maids in Tsing Yi who have come to the Taihe Hall today, and give Qi Shizi an explanation as soon as possible."
Father-in-law Peng hurriedly took the order.
"It's not early," Li Xu said with a gentle smile, "Qi Shizi might as well go back to the mansion to rest first, and when there is news, His Royal Highness will send someone to Chengping Bo's Mansion to tell you." ”
Qi Yu sneered, thinking that there was really no other way, so he had to leave.
When he walked away, Li Shiqing couldn't help but be curious, "What's the matter with Qing Ming's face full of spots?" ”
"A kind of medicinal powder prepared by Cousin Crescent," Zhou Jiaying smiled, "I thought it would be fun to carry it on my body, but I really used it today." ”
In a blink of an eye, it is the day of the Shangyuan Festival.
Apricot Flower Pavilion of Changning Houfu.
Jiang Shuqi was concentrating on painting lanterns with a brush, and the maid lifted the curtain and came in and said, "Second Miss, Mama Qiu is here." ”
"Mama Qiu."
Jiang Shuqi put down the lantern in his hand and greeted him.
Mama Qiu looks ordinary, not tall, and what impresses people is a pair of shrewd and introverted eyes.
She found a place to sit down, looked at the lanterns on the table and said, "Second Miss is going out of the house tonight to participate in the Lantern Festival of the Shangyuan Festival?" ”
The Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival is the grandest folk event of the New Year Festival in Tianhao City.
On this night, the ban was lifted all night in Tianhao City, and the whole city was full of lanterns, and the hall was as bright as day.
The grandchildren of the Marquis of Changning Mansion got the permission of the old lady as early as the morning greeting, and after dinner, they could go out of the house together to participate in the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival.
During the day, the girls are making their own lanterns, which are the lanterns that are going to be brought to the Lantern Festival in Tianhe.
Mama Qiu saw Jiang Shuqi nodding yes, so she asked her, "Do you know how the show Lantern Tianhe is played?" ”
The Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival is held at Twilight Rock Square, and there are two most eye-catching programs, one of which is the Lantern Tianhe.
The Lantern River is actually an artificial river, built around the Twilight Rock Square.
In the middle of the river there is a winding wooden bridge, about three feet wide, for people to walk on.
The lantern Tianhe is limited to women, and at the entrance, you need to put your own lanterns into the Tianhe and then step onto the wooden bridge.
There are countless lanterns floating on the river, and those who walk along the wooden bridge can choose a lantern of their choice, and it is rumored that the blessing in the lantern will symbolize the luck of the year.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone hopes to be able to find their own lucky blessings in the lantern Tianhe.
Therefore, the lantern Tianhe is deeply loved by the women of Tianhao City.
Jiang Shuqi told him what he knew, but saw Mama Qiu shaking her head, "Everyone in the lantern Tianhe has a chance to get a lucky lantern, it's nothing." If you can get the lanterns made by the queen's mother, the lady or the good concubine, then you are the real lucky one. ”
Every year in the lantern Tianhe, the queen will bring Shuguifei and Liang Guifei to make lanterns to show their blessings, and they will personally put the homemade lanterns into the river for the girls participating in the event to guess.
It's just that there are countless lanterns in Tianhe, and the possibility of choosing these three lanterns is extremely low.
The girl who is really lucky to be able to choose these three lanterns will be rewarded by the queen's mother.
"Mama Qiu, it's basically impossible to find those three lanterns among thousands of lanterns."
Mama Qiu smiled incomprehensibly, "Mama has a way for you to choose the lantern of Concubine Shugui." ”
Jiang Shuqi's eyes widened suddenly, "Mama, what you said is true?" ”
"When did Mama talk about it?"
"The lanterns made by the queen mother and the concubine Heliang are different every year, and it is really hard to guess."
As an old man in the palace, Mama Qiu knows a lot of things, "But Concubine Shugui's lantern is well-documented." ”
"Concubine Shugui lives in Yuning Palace," Mama Qiu elaborated, "and she is especially fond of Jade Rabbit. Therefore, every year on her lantern, she will inevitably draw a jade rabbit. ”
"This Shuqi has also heard of it," Jiang Shuqi nodded, "It's just the Jade Rabbit Lantern of Shuguifei Niangniang, and the appearance is different every year." And there are a lot of jade rabbit lanterns on the Tianhe, how can you find the one made by Shuguifei Niangniang? ”
"Concubine Shu is always proud," Mama Qiu pulled her lips, as if she was smiling, "The jade rabbit lantern she prepared will definitely have three grasses at the feet of the jade rabbit." As long as you recognize this, you can find the jade rabbit lantern prepared by Shuguifei. ”
"In the vast lanterns, it is not easy to find the jade rabbit lantern with green grass at your feet," Jiang Shuqi hesitated, "I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
Mama Qiu looked at her expressionlessly, "If you can't find it, that's your problem." ”
She turned to leave.
"Mama Qiu," Jiang Shuqi hurriedly called her, "I will definitely find it, you can tell me about it again." ”
Mama Qiu sat down, "You made a fool of yourself in the palace before, and your reputation was ruined. If you want to undo all this, you must be ruthless and do ruthless things. If you are cowardly even this little thing, there is no need for Mama to continue to help you. ”
"I can do it." Jiang Shuqi remembered the humiliation in the palace, and his eyes gradually became firm.
"That'll be fine." Mama Qiu finally pulled out a smile, "You listen to me." ”
Mama Qiu talked about some more points, and Jiang Shuqi wrote them down one by one.
"The first step to regaining your reputation," Mama Qiu concluded, "is to get noticed about you first." The Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival is a good time to grasp and it is worth grasping. You must also remember that the road must be taken step by step in order to go steadily and far. ”
After dinner, the girls of the Hou Mansion of Changning gathered in the old lady's Shou'an Hall, chirping at each other's lanterns, ready to go out of the house to play.
"Second sister, this lantern painting is good," Jiang Shuxin tasted, "The painting has improved a lot." ”
Jiang Shuqi was proud, "This is painted by me, of course it's good." ”
The sisters were amused by her smug look.
Jiang Shuli saw that it was not too early, so he asked the old lady, "Grandmother, can Shuli take her sisters out of the house now?" ”
"Go," the old lady smiled and waved her hand, "you sisters remember to pay attention to safety, especially when choosing lanterns, don't plant them in the river." ”
The girls laughed again, and they all responded, put on thick shawls and walked out of Shou'an Hall.
