Chapter 29: The Day of the Society (1)

The previous old emperor of Dafeng was a good emperor, who reigned for more than 20 years, worked hard, was politically clear, and even God was particularly appreciative, and the wind and rain were smooth. After the new emperor ascended the throne, adhering to the legacy of the first emperor, the pro-virtuous ministers were far from the villain, so the country of Dafeng was rich and the people were strong, and these prefectures and counties under his rule were naturally full of vitality and lively.

Shuichengfu has always been the main road of water and land transportation between the north and south of Dafeng, and the tea and silk from the south are continuously transported out from here, and the horses and herbs from the north are transported from outside, and even the famous snacks and gadgets are brought into Shuichengfu.

The prosperous economy, developed transportation, and a large number of people have created the unique liveliness and prosperity of Shuicheng Mansion, and also made Shuicheng Mansion a fat yamen and raised a vote of wealthy officials. And the people who can get official positions in this place all have their own backgrounds. For example, the Chen family and the Cai family are like this.

It was noon when the carriage drove into Shuicheng Mansion, Ming Fei heard the excitement outside, and the shouting came and went, she couldn't help but open the curtains and lie in front of the window to watch the excitement, at a glance, she was very surprised, she didn't expect that the commerce of this Dafeng Dynasty would be so developed. In her memory, Chinese history was all about heavy agriculture and suppressing business, and it was only in the middle and late Ming Dynasty that the imperial court was more relaxed towards merchants. It seems that this Dafeng Dynasty is quite relaxed about business, but I don't know to what extent?

Just as she was looking at it, the curtains were lowered to obscure her vision, and it turned out that the flower woman had discovered her actions. Hua Pozi said dissatisfiedly: "Third Miss, you can't do this, this is not in accordance with the rules......" Balabala has a long list.

Ming Fei said pitifully: "Mom, it's the first time I've entered the city, it's so lively......"

Jiao Tao was very pitiful to Ming Fei, so she interceded for her: "Mom, this car is very ordinary, no one knows that it belongs to the same prefect." The third lady has grown up in the countryside since she was a child, and she has never seen these bustles. If you go back to the mansion and talk to the young ladies and don't know anything, then ...... "Those who come from the countryside are already looked down upon, and if you don't know anything about it, won't you be ridiculed even more as a bun?"

Hua Pozi ignored Jiao Tao and looked at Ming Fei with her eyes: "Do you remember what the slave taught you?" ”

Ming Fei said: "Remember, when you see your father and mother, you have to bow down, your brothers and sisters have to bow down, your younger brothers and sisters have to return the salute when you greet them, and you don't have to bow when you see your aunt." ”

Hua Pozi nodded, stopped talking, and leaned against the wall of the car to close her eyes and recuperate. Ming Fei immediately understood what she meant, lifted the curtains, and looked greedily.

"Sister Jiao Tao, why are there so many beautiful sisters on the street?" Ming Fei's gaze fell on a group of young girls in front of the street corner silk village, surrounded by servants, wearing hats, bright clothes, and chattering endlessly.

Without waiting for Jiao Tao to answer, Hua Pozi said loudly: "After I go back, I can't call Sister Jiao Tao anymore, a girl is a girl, just call Jiao Tao!" ”

"Oh, Peach." Ming Fei squeezed her eyes mischievously at Jiao Tao.

Jiao Tao looked out the window with a smile and said, "Today is the day of the society, and everyone is happy, so the ladies have come out to play." ”

"Sheri?" Ming Fei was very interested, and hurriedly asked, "Then can I come out in the future?" "Dafeng's Spring Society and Autumn Society are very important festivals, and they are also celebrated in Wujia Village, but where will there be excitement in this water city? And some of the rules in the countryside and the city are not the same, the people in Wujia Village cook a good meal, do nothing, and get drunk. Ming Fei's Spring Club two years ago was spent watching Wujiacun drink and get drunk and spend most of the people, which was boring and boring.

Jiao Tao said: "That's nature. Dafeng from top to bottom, whose women's club doesn't come out to play on this day? Even the nobles in the palace will choose this time to go to the palace to play. In the morning, the city is more lively, and there are performances and social fires. It's just that we came late and missed it. There was a lot of regret in her tone for Ming Fei that she missed such a lively incident.

Ming Fei saw a group of young boys standing about four or five feet away from the group of young women, some of them peeked at the group of women, and some pretended to look away, but they all tried to hold their heads up, trying to make themselves look taller, like a group of proud little roosters. Although it is only early spring in February, and the cold wind is expected to be steep, some people have already taken off their jackets, put on bright summer shirts, and shake folding fans.

Ming Fei pointed at the group of people in surprise: "What are they doing?" ”

Jiao Tao glanced at it, and just saw that her eldest son was also standing in the middle of that group of people, although his face was still immature, but he was steady, and he couldn't help blushing, and said, "That's the sons and young masters of each family." Also, come out to play. ”

Ming Fei didn't know why she blushed, she only clapped her hands and smiled coquettishly: "That person is really funny, in such a cold weather, he is wearing a summer shirt and shaking a fan, isn't he afraid of the cold?" ”

Jiao Tao followed her gaze and saw a young man who was about the same age as his eldest son standing in the crowd, thin as a bamboo pole, wearing an emerald blue folded branch camellia pattern bright gauze curved collar robe, tied with a silk flower and bird pattern inlaid with gold and jade belt, hanging a golden beast, with a small purple gold crown on his head, a pearl the size of longan flashing in it, holding a folding fan in his hand, and a white jade fan pendant with an indistinct shape. He was gorgeously dressed, with picturesque eyebrows, a smile on the corner of his mouth, slowly shaking his fan, and looking at the group of young ladies with a spring breeze on his face.

You don't learn well at a young age! Jiao Tao instantly defined this person, and the eldest son of his own family was still standing beside him, talking with a serious face, and he looked very engaged. Jiao Tao was extremely unhappy, how could her studious and motivated son get mixed with this kind of person?

Ming Fei looked at Jiao Tao's colorful face on the side, and couldn't help but be curious, and stretched out her hand to shake it in front of her: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing." Jiao Tao retracted her gaze, her heart was still sour, and she lowered her head and meditated, the eldest son has turned fifteen years old since the New Year, and he has reached the age of discussing relatives, presumably this time the lady deliberately let out to show the mothers around those young ladies, his status is low, and he is two years older than the child, and it is already very good to stay by the side of the son in the future to be a room and raise an aunt, how can you be delusional about these? Which kind of vinegar to eat?

But Ming Fei said in surprise: "Ah, someone is coming towards our car." ”

Jiao Tao's heart beat violently, and when she looked up, she saw Cai Guangting striding towards the carriage with two long entourage, and the joy on her face couldn't be hidden. Hurriedly pushed the flower woman, and ordered Lao Qi to drive the car to the side of the road and stop.

Cai Guangting just walked to the front of the car, Hu was in charge, Jiao Tao and Hua Pozi had already jumped out of the carriage to salute him, Ming Fei also drew a scoop according to the gourd, and wanted to jump down, but Cai Guangting reached out and hugged her, and touched her head with a smile: "Third sister, don't come down, I've been standing here waiting for you, finally waiting, let's go." ”

Hearing the same words in the ears of different people has different feelings, Ming Fei thinks that Cai Dagongzi attaches great importance to her as a younger sister, knows that she is coming back, and has been standing here waiting for her; What Jiao Tao heard was that the reason why Cai Dagongzi stood there with those prodigals was all to wait for her return, not to let the mothers around those young ladies look at each other; Hua Pozi and Hu Steward heard that Cai Dagongzi wanted to support Ming Fei and indirectly told them not to snub Ming Fei.

Ming Fei bit her lip and looked at the eldest prince Cai in front of her with red eyes. Cai Dagongzi wore a robe of azure folded branches and dark satin, with a silver-blue brocade belt around his waist, and a jade pod pei hanging, his appearance was five or six points similar to Ming Fei, his eyebrows were like knife cuts, his eyes were bright, his nose was high, and a faint circle of fluff had appeared on his lips, and his expression was joyful but very measured. This is a steady child, Ming Fei thought.

Cai Dagongzi is also looking at this sister who was sent away at birth and has never met, only in the legend. Wearing a blue lotus-colored jacket, a silver-red skirt, combing the common double screw bun of little girls, two small gold beads on one side, and a small gold longevity lock on the chest. Goose egg face, black and shiny hair, a pair of beautiful almond eyes, a small and straight nose, delicate lips, and a little rough skin, but fortunately not dark, it looks a little malnourished, and she is much shorter than the fourth sister born to the second aunt in the family, who is only a month younger than her.

At this time, she was quietly clenching her fists, looking at herself with some melancholy, the tip of her nose was full of fine hairs and sweat, but she could straighten her back, and her eyes did not dodge. Very nervous, but he was able to maintain his demeanor, and the previous salute was also very standard, which was already very unexpected by Cai Dagongzi. Sure enough, it was his mother's own daughter, and Cai Dagongzi smiled with satisfaction: "I am your eldest brother, Cai Guangting, I will protect you in the future." ”

Ming Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Cai Guangting and smiled slightly, revealing the gums that were missing two teeth. It's embarrassing, but it's cute.
