Chapter Seventy-One: Celebrating the New Year

The pace of the Spring Festival of Qi is approaching, and the palace of Qi has begun to prepare for the purchase of the New Year and the sacrificial ceremony.

And ordinary people also began to hang peach charms in their homes, and the lights were colorful, so it was not lively. The market is crowded with people who do New Year's goods, and all kinds of groceries are dazzling, varied, and have everything.

Since the king of Qi has not yet chosen a concubine, there is no suitable person to host the spring festival after the festival, so the eldest princess Ruyi has to serve as the eldest princess, and it is just this opportunity to announce the identity of the princess of Ruyi in the world. So Ruyi has moved into the palace not long ago to prepare.

At this time, Ruyi was trying on the dress of the ceremonial ceremony made for her by the female official in the uniform. A purple embroidered woven text left side cross-collar deep coat with embroidered fish pattern black satin curved skirt, long skirt waist swaying to the ground, narrow long sleeves, curved skirt backwards obliquely unfolded, there is a sense of relaxation. The waist is tied with a jade hook belt, the left side is saber, the outer cover is a white fox fur, the hair is combed with a high bun on the left, and the head is wearing a crown.

Xia He was stunned on the side, and said in a daze: "The girl is really going to fall into the country now." ”

Ruyi turned around and smiled, "Silly girl, it's not the appearance that captivates the country and the city, but the brain." ”

At this time, Tian Yinqi happened to walk in, also dressed in purple court clothes, with a face like a crown of jade, and a lofty instrument.

"What kind of head?" Tian Yinqi said with a smile, and when he saw Ruyi's dress, he really praised: "Our little princess has really grown up and has grown into a dazzling pearl." ”

"Brother Wang, if you make fun of me again, I won't preside over the spring festival for you. Look at how you found me a sister-in-law in such a short time. Ruyi pretended to be disgusted.

Xia He pursed his lips and snickered and prepared tea.

"You have the courage to threaten your brother Wang." Tian Yinqi looked at his sister with a doting face.

"Brother Wang, why have you had a lot of dark circles under your eyes recently. Did you stay up late to watch the recitals again? Ruyi also said with concern.

"It's nothing, you just have to live every day happily, and the rest is carried by Brother Wang, and you won't be wronged anymore."

"Brother Wang, where are you talking about this, we are compatriots of the same mother, with the same blood and bones. You are now my only relative. If there is something I am willing to share with you. ”

"Good sister." Tian Yinqi smiled with relief, but didn't say anything more. After some refreshments, I hurried away.

"Xia He, you go and help me inquire, what happened in the previous dynasty recently, which makes Brother Wang so worried." Ruyi ordered Xia He Dao with some concern.

"The girl has been busy with the affairs of the priests recently, and she may not know it, but the Qing Dafu faction controls the real power and affects the government and politics, and does not obey the orders of the Marquis of Qi." Xia He Bang Ruyi straightened his head and said.

"I see. No wonder Brother Wang has been depressed and restless in recent days. Ruyi said thoughtfully.

The two gossiped for a while, tried on the clothes as they wished, and took Xia He out of the palace.

Today is the New Year, and Su Ruiqing invited Ruyi for the holiday. Ziruyi moved into the palace, and their group did not live in the post house Wu Palace, but found a three-in, three-out courtyard in Daguo, Northeast and moved in.

The specifications of the Wu Palace are too high, and you always have to hold it when you live in it, so you are not as comfortable as your own home.

Ruyi took Xia He and a cart of gifts, and came to the gate of the courtyard leisurely. I saw that the red lanterns were hung on the gatehouse early, and the peach charms were hung on both sides of the door. Ruyi carefully looked at the two door gods, and the paintings were really lifelike.

Su Ruiqing greeted the door, and she was dressed quite formally today, which was a unique dress of Zhao Guo, with a deep coat on the back, a mink suit on the outside, and a long coat with hair hanging down her shoulders.

"How can I dress so formally today, my casual dress is a little abrupt." Ruyi said with a smile.

"Today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month to sacrifice to the stove, please the stove master. That's why I wore something more formal. Su Ruiqing explained happily, "Come into the house, it's cold outside." ”

The heat in the house, the fire of the earth dragon stove is burning, and everyone is sitting around the house lively, which adds a bit of heat.

Everyone was even happier to see Ruyi coming, and Su Qin hurriedly stuffed a hand stove for Ruyi. Yu Juanzhi handed a bowl of hot tea to Xia He.

"Who drew this year's peach talisman? It's so well drawn and lifelike. Ruyi asked with a smile.

"It's my drawing, and I've loved drawing since I was a child. It has never been useful, but it is only useful today. Yu Juanzhi also said with a smile. In the past few days, Yu Juanzhi has also been a lot more cheerful, and she has lost the gloom when she first met.

Everyone laughed. The grandmother who is with Yu Juan is a master of cooking, so today's meals are all up to her, and when the authentic Qi cuisine is put on the table, even Ruyi is a little uneasy. It turns out that there are so many ways to eat seafood in this era.

Everyone was around the table and ready to start eating, but an attendant spread the word that there was a Tian Gongzi outside. Everyone looked at each other, I don't know who Tian Gongzi was at this time?

As the host, Su Ruiqing had to go to the front hall to meet guests.

When this Tian Gongzi entered the house, Ruyi was really startled, but he didn't expect this Tian Gongzi to be the king's brother.

"Brother Wang, why are you here?" Ruyi said in surprise.

"Why aren't you welcoming me?" Tian Yinqi said with a smile.

Only then did everyone know that this was Ruyi's brother, today's Qi Hou Tian Yinqi. The crowd saluted and gave up their seats.

"Don't be restrained, I'm Ruyi's brother, nothing else, I'm just here today to thank everyone for taking care of Ruyi." Tian Yinqi saw everyone's restraint and hurriedly said.

Ruyi smiled and introduced everyone to his brother one by one. The attendant added another pair of chopsticks, and this was the opening of the table.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone's atmosphere has become lively, and they are no longer bound by the courtesies of monarchs and ministers.

Tian Yinqi toasted the big guy one by one without a shelf, thanking everyone for taking care of Ruyi over the years.

I don't know if it's drunk or drunk, Ruyi actually has a sour nose and moist eyes, but the corners of his mouth are always up.

What a good, what a lively group of people, every day with such a group of people to accompany you no longer have to be lonely. What kind of modern is it, isn't it just a matter of being alone when you go back to modern times?

Ruyi took another sip of wine and groaned softly: "The crickets are in the hall, and the years are too old." I am not happy today, the sun and the moon are gone. The surrounding voices gradually quieted down, listening to Ruyi's soft groan.

"You're so chic, and you persuade us to have fun in time." Su Ruiqing said half-drunkly.

"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. You don't see the sad white hair of Gao Tang Mingjing, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk. Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon. I am born to be useful, and my daughter will come back when I am gone. Cooking sheep and slaughtering cattle for pleasure will require 300 cups of drink. Ruyi has lived cautiously for so many years, and has never made such a mistake, probably really drunk, and read Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine" by the way.

Everyone listened to the rousing and heroic chanting, and it really quieted down. This time, Ruyi was drunk and unconscious.
