Chapter 604: The Finale
This is the second annual festival after the empress ascended the throne, and the city of Chang'an is very lively, because on the first day of His Majesty, he sent angels to the city to give the people happy money.
Because the snow is falling heavily, there are elegant people who have come up with a clever trick, who stands in front of the ice sculpture and snow sculpture is the most chic, who can get money, those literati in Chang'an City have added color, for a while, the big guys are busy.
On both sides of the avenue, all kinds of strange things can be seen everywhere, He Zhichun sat in the carriage, pointed to one of them and laughed, "Brother Jiu, look at it, the one that says Cui Papi came here for a visit." ”
Cui Jiu stretched out his head to take a look, and was immediately amused, how much hatred and resentment we have, you have to carve someone so ugly!
He rolled his eyes, pointed to another place and said with a smile: "Ah Qiao, look, look, your nightmare!" ”
He Zhichun looked at his hand, and immediately covered his face, he had no face to see people!
This is definitely a Jingzhou person in Chang'an, because the carving is He Zhichun pointing to the sky, begging not to rain, I always feel that there will be thunder to split up the next moment.
He Zhichun patted his chest and comforted himself: "What does this mean? It shows that my heart is as broad as the sea, and the people are unrestrained, which is the weather of the heavenly kingdom. ”
Cui Jiu is hehe, it's just you and me here, why do you keep putting gold on your face.
The carriage soon drove into Chongyi Fang and arrived at the door of He's house.
From afar, I saw a group of people standing at the door of He's house.
The three brothers of the He family were carving ice there with a carving knife, Gao Nuo stuffed balls into his mouth, and led a group of children to cheer.
He Zhishu carved a lotus leaf, He Zhili carved a puppy, He Zhiyi carved a cow, they didn't say anything about ice carving, and they made something different, but the three of them didn't care, they were as serious as they were in the imperial examination.
Gao Nuo was the first to see He Zhichun, and immediately rushed over, raising his hand to salute, He Zhichun glanced at her and raised her hand, "You are making fun of me!" said that today is Ah Qiao. ”
Gao Nuo stuck out his tongue, "The ceremony must not be abolished, otherwise it will damage the majesty of the empress." ”
He Zhichun hadn't had time to be disappointed, and felt that Gao Nuo was separated from her, so he saw Gao Nuo shouting: "Ah Qiao, come in, Grandma fried lotus root balls, my God, I think I can eat a pot alone!" ”
He Zhichun's eyes lit up, she also loves to eat this, "Have you beaten tofu?" ”
"It's necessary, our He family, why can't we lose our mouths. My sister-in-law and my three siblings were helping, and I was lazy to take care of the children. ”
He Zhichun smiled and handed out candy to the children, and at this moment, Li Heng in Cui Jiu's arms had already crawled down with his ass twisted and rushed towards He Zhili, "Hug, do Lantern Festival, do Lantern Festival." ”
He Zhili was happy, and hugged Li Heng triumphantly, "The prince likes me." ”
When Li Heng heard this, he immediately kissed him on the face, making his face saliva.
He Zhili became more and more happy, "Heng'er said that he carved the Lantern Festival, and he carved the Lantern Festival." ”
Anyway, the dog carved before doesn't look like a dog.
Li Heng clapped his hands, didn't look at He Zhichun and Cui Jiu, stood beside He Zhili, watched him carve the Lantern Festival without blinking, and then shouted and cheered on the side.
He Zhichun and his wife were red-eyed, this stinky boy is simply greedy for beauty and forgets his relatives when he sees it! Raised in vain!
With the three brothers of the He family here, He Zhichun was not worried about Li Heng, and went into the door with Cui Jiu to see He Yu.
Walking to the courtyard of Grandpa He and Grandma He from a distance, she could smell bursts of fragrance, which made He Zhichun's saliva water, and as soon as she sniffed, she could smell what was eating.
If she is really the daughter of the He family, maybe she should be a cook by now.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm back."
When Grandma He heard this, she rushed out, still wearing a blue cloth bib, "What about Heng'er?" ”
He Zhichun pouted, "Grandma doesn't have me in her eyes......"
Grandma He glared at her, "They are all mothers, and they love to be coquettish, are they ashamed!" ”
Grandpa He tugged at Grandma He's sleeve, "Ah...... Now that you're the emperor, you have to salute, don't talk nonsense......"
Grandma He patted his hands, "What's wrong with the emperor?" Ah Qiao became the Jade Emperor, and he grew up eating the food I cooked! ”
The people in the courtyard were happy, and Grandma He took the brocade box in He Zhichun's hand, and said angrily: "Come on, take something." ”
The people around him laughed again.
Don't you don't want to carry things, why do you collect them so quickly!
He Zhichun smiled and followed Grandma He in, Wang and Lu Yan stood aside, looking a little embarrassed, He Zhichun smiled at them, and then reached out to take the lotus root balls in the bowl, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, as soon as you bite into it, the lotus root juice sprays out, which is simply unforgettable.
In addition to lotus root balls, a large pot of fish balls was fried, fish cakes were steamed, and on the brazier, the glutinous rice cakes were burned with a sizzling sound and bulging, like a fat and tender little white rabbit.
He Zhichun poked one with chopsticks, and it was so hot that he yelled.
He Yu entered the door, followed by a young man who looked quite like him, it was He Zhizhang, who had grown up.
"Oh, Zhizhang walked to the road, and Sister couldn't recognize it, but I went to hang the lantern with Daddy."
He Zhizhang nodded a little shyly, and whispered, "Sister." ”
He Yu snatched the glutinous rice cake from He Zhichun's hand and put it in the pond bowl, "If you are in a hurry, you will be greedy when you beat a child." ”
He Zhichun smiled, "It wasn't when I was a child, the third brother always took me to steal peaches, for fear of being discovered, but he urged me to eat quickly!" ”
He Yu handed the sugar-stained glutinous rice to He Zhichun again, "Jing Hu said, we still need to steal the wild peaches that are all over the mountains and fields in Yuezhou?" Just be the devil. ”
Cui Jiu greeted He Yu and the others, so he snatched the glutinous rice cake from He Zhichun's hand and took a bite, and then said with a smile, "I went out to carve ice with my brothers, looking at Heng'er, don't eat it, and drink the chicken soup stewed by grandma with your stomach." ”
He Zhichun and He Yu glanced at each other, Cui Jiu, you are a real hero, you can still eat chicken soup.
The two of them were so devastated by Grandma He that they were terrified when they smelled the chicken soup.
Grandma He looked at Cui Jiu with a loving face, "Look at Cui Jiulang, what a good child!" ”
Cui Jiu winked at He Zhichun, turned around and went out to carve ice at the gate.
He Zhichun ate for a while, then sat down in front of He Zhishi and cut the window flowers with her.
Outside the window are the sounds of children playing, they come in to get some lotus root balls for a while, and then run to the front yard to see the ice sculptures, so it is not lively.
Everyone was busy for a while, all kinds of lanterns had been hung in the yard, festive window flowers were also pasted on the newly pasted windows, Grandma He's chicken soup had been stewed to the point of melting in the mouth, He Zhichun and Gao Nuo were eating snacks, and Lehehe went to the door to call them in for dinner.
Li Heng's nose was frozen red, but there was a bright light in his eyes, when he saw He Zhichun coming, he stretched out his hand to hug him, He Zhichun lifted him up, Gao Nuo gave him a small piece of meatballs, and the group went back to the main courtyard to prepare for the New Year's dinner.
He Zhichun did not hold a palace banquet in the palace in the end, but asked people to send a table of tables to the important ministers of the court and the nobles, and rewarded the auspicious and wishful empress with handwritten characters.
In fact, in the final analysis, the Chinese New Year is the one who should be reunited as a family!
The He family did not divide the table, the men, women and children sat together, and the table was full of all kinds of delicious food.
Grandpa He was so drunk that he gave New Year's money to all the children, even He Zhichun and Cui Jiu.
He Yu was especially happy and made a long speech, such as Ah Qiao will be a good emperor next year, He Zhiyi, you can't forget your roots, and you can't float when you become a waiter! He Zhili, you have earned enough money, you should feed back to the people, don't be stingy! He Zhishu, you also move a nest to make some effort......
None of the brothers and sisters of the He family listened carefully, and they all grabbed the vegetables and grabbed them happily, "Daddy, don't say it, it's cold if you don't eat the vegetables, come on, eat a piece of pig ear......"
He Yu was angry, "Okay, you guys, you don't want to hear it, let someone say it to the pig ears!" Heng'er, don't learn from your mother, see how unbelievable she is. ”
Li Heng pointed to the plate with one hand and said with a glance: "Pig ears are not delicious, and they can't be bitten." ”
Everyone at the table burst out laughing.
This family banquet lasted until it was dark, and He Zhichun reluctantly got into the carriage with Cui Jiu holding Li Heng, who was tired of playing and falling asleep.
He Zhichun tilted his head to Cui Jiu's shoulder, Cui Jiu also leaned his head over, and the sound of firecrackers on the street from time to time would be everywhere, and every household was filled with incense, and the lights were bright, which was a prosperous scene.
"Brother Jiu, I hope that every year in the future, our family can be so happy together."
Cui Jiu touched He Zhichun's hair, "Definitely." When Ah Qiao and a certain person's hair are gray, and call all the children and grandchildren, they will definitely be more chatty than your father, and then Li Heng will say with a straight face, don't talk, noisy! ”
He Zhichun saw him imitate Li Heng's appearance, and he was quite vivid at a glance, and immediately laughed.
"Is there such a father as you? Besides, I definitely don't nag when I'm old, because when I'm young, I talk too much! ”
Cui Jiu glanced at Li Heng sympathetically, don't listen to your mother, you talk a lot when you are young, and you will definitely talk more when you are old. Especially if you have a pair of parents who speak quickly, ruthlessly and accurately...... Sympathize!
He Zhichun also thought of this stubble, and touched Li Heng's head, sympathy! Anyway, you aunt and I won't change!
The carriage swayed in the direction of the palace gate.
Cui Jiu suddenly stopped talking.
He Zhichun turned his head suspiciously, and felt a wave of warmth coming.
She saw herself in Cui Jiu's eyes, and she thought that there must be Cui Jiu in her eyes.
There are still many tribulations in the future, He Yu will gradually grow old, Daqing still has many drawbacks, and there are barbarians around him, Li Heng may become a rebellious teenager when he grows up, disgusted with her nagging with Cui Jiuai, and misbehaving......
But He Zhichun felt that she was not afraid at all, because Cui Jiu was there, and she was very at ease.
