Chapter 113: Lantern Festival

said that Huizhu was unhappy and ashamed because of what happened a year ago. Later, in the first month, every day was clear, and Huizhu also forgot about the stubble, but I didn't want to, a few days later, on the fifteenth day of the first month, the "Lantern Festival", there were people in the house who really had a body.

Since ancient times, the Lantern Festival is a traditional festival, every day, the palace, the people everywhere put up lanterns, lanterns and fireworks shine all night, drums and amusement, so lively. But when the Manchus entered the customs, the Manchu court no longer held lantern festivals, but the folk lantern festivals were still spectacular.

As the saying goes, the lantern festival is no longer held in the palace, but the major royal palaces in the capital have already prepared all kinds of lanterns, invited the troupe, and entered the mansion to play. In this way, Prince Yong's mansion is also free from vulgarity, this day is dawning, and all the servants in the palace are already busy, and their footsteps are off the ground, all of which are preparing for the evening banquet.

While the people in the house were busy, Huizhu was very leisurely, and at the end of the afternoon, she began to dress up. After that, Huizhu carefully instructed Su Xin Haosheng to take care of Hongli, and then took Xiao Ranzi and Xiao Juan and walked to the main hall of the first courtyard.

Along the way, I saw red silk decoration, curtain flying colorful phoenix, a golden and brilliant scene. When they arrived at the eaves of the first courtyard, a little eunuch said in a loud voice: "Niu Hulu Fu has arrived." Then the little eunuch waiting at the porter hurriedly ran to the courtyard to pass the word. On this side, the maid-in-law who was waiting under the eaves of the door saluted Huizhu again, and hugged Huizhu into the main hall.

Huizhu glanced at it and saw that everyone was in one color of new clothes, with a cluster of flowers, which can be described as red flowers and green willows, each with its own merits. couldn't help but look down at herself in a silver and red satin multicolored seeded embroidered hydrangea eight group female robe, and secretly laughed at herself, she is not bad.

Afterwards, Huizhu greeted everyone, sat down on the side, and Geng Shi said with concern: "Niu Hulu Fujin, you have been taking medicine for half a month, but it is much better?" A touch of embarrassment flashed in Huizhu's eyes, and she nodded and smiled: "My body has always been cured for ten days of medicine, and it has long been fine." Ulanala smiled and said, "Well, Sister Hulu's face is ruddy and white, and you have to pay attention to it after you look at it." This is the first month of the disease, but it is unlucky, and when the spring begins, Niu Hulu's sister has to go to the temple to worship, it is appropriate. ”

Wu interjected: "On the birthday of the Buddha, he and Niu Hulu Fujin made incense and released it. In a few months, it will be the Buddha's birthday again, and Niu Hulu Fujin just responded to Fujin's words to say goodbye. Nian said: "Sister Niu Hulu, it's okay for you to go to incense, ask for peace of mind, so as not to be like me, the sick lord is troubled." Li Shi covered the handkerchief and chuckled: "Sister Niu Hulu rarely gets sick, this time she is sick, but she is nervous, and she won't come out when she stays with you, hehe, my sister is envious." After that, he narrowed his eyes with deep meaning, and sat at the end of the An's family.

Seeing that Li looked at her, An lowered his head, bit his lip lightly, and seemed to be nervously stirring the Jinpa. Huizhu sat facing Li and An's, and at a casual glance, she had a panoramic view, and when she shook slightly, she opened her eyelids and didn't want to see more.

Then the people spoke back, and when Ranala saw that it was the hour, he ordered Gaude to light the lamp. Gao De was ordered out of the main hall, and after half a quarter of an hour, Gao De returned to the house and said: "The gardens have begun to be lit, and the time for a cup of tea is appropriate." When the words fell, the courtyard instantly lit up, and the lights were bright, and suddenly it was daylight.

This compartment. Fireworks are displayed throughout the house. Brilliant gold. It's already ten points of palm light. Yincai returned home from the palace. Changed the coat. Cleaned the dough. Come to the main hall of the first courtyard. Take a break for two teas. There is a little Fuzi who said. It's time for the table. Then everyone got up again and moved to the flower hall for a seat.

The glass burns the Jinzhu River and the mountain screen. Come to the Flower Hall. The hall is covered with a red carpet. Incense and candles are burning all around. In the middle are four large round tables carved in red lacquer. Sit in your personal capacity. Forthwith. "Crackling" firecrackers sounded. Looking at the open door of the flower hall. It's a multicolored flower again. Everyone's attention fell on the outside of the house. Eye-catching.

The outermost table in the flower hall was occupied by the lowest-ranking girl. I am sitting next to the moon lotus. His eyes were full of satisfaction. But it's not to appreciate the joy of ceremonial flowers and lanterns. Instead, he looked at the little eunuch who was standing aside and waiting. Faintly happy. Wait to see Xiaojuan standing behind Huizhu. There was arrogance in his eyes. As everyone knows. Her look fell into the eyes of many people. Mess with these people. Secretly funny. When he looked at Huizhu. There was also a flash of mockery.

Then the curtain came down with the sudden sound of firecrackers. Lantern Festival food was also put on the table. When the people at the table came. All had dinner beforehand. At this time, the land is just a variety of rice balls.

Huizhu has a sweet tooth. looked at the dazzling array of small bowls of rice balls in front of him. I picked up the spoon early. I tasted them one by one with great interest. Huizhu took a bite. Swallow in the mouth. The taste is white sugar filling; I changed another bowl and ate it. Tokido is a rose filling. Taste it like this. Huizhu happily ate in her mouth. While guessing what kind of stuffing is made. Count them one by one until sugar, roses, sesame seeds, bean paste, yellow cinnamon, walnut kernels, nuts, jujube paste, ......

until you reach the creamy filling

Stopping slightly, one person is happy. I still remember that the first time I ate the cream filling scared her, I didn't expect that the Qing Dynasty three hundred years ago would have cream filled rice balls. I immediately inquired, but there are also people like her who are people of later generations, and when I asked later, I learned that this cream rice ball is twice as expensive as the most famous Ma family rice ball in Beijing, and the cream is also passed from the West. In this way, she had no choice but to die, and Naodao knew less about some things, which was beneficial to her.

Just thinking about it, he was cold, and Yin said: "Niu Hulu, did you eat the Lantern Festival like this?" The Lantern Festival in front of you, you have tasted the poop one by one, it is now evening, eat more glutinous rice, it is easy to accumulate food, and your stomach is not good, you want to go to the night to call the imperial doctor to come over. After that, he thought for a while, and said: "You are sick, who will take care of Hongli." ”

Hearing this, Huizhu had no choice but to put down the spoon, and under the gaze of everyone, she replied curtly: "Master said, concubines should not be gluttonous." Ulanala smiled and said, "My lord also cares about you, but seeing that my sister's appetite is very good, I believe that my sister's illness must have been cured." Everyone hid their thoughts, and after a few words, it was over.

A small episode, a small embarrassing atmosphere was revealed by the Ulanala clan, and the atmosphere was echoed again. But this little episode didn't seem to affect An's, I saw that An's still lowered his head, obediently took a small mouth with rice balls, and only lifted it by chance, and when he saw Yin and Huizhu, there seemed to be some firmness in his eyes.

After eating at the Lantern Festival, everyone: After rinsing, they put on a cloak, covered the hand stove, and got up and went out of the flower hall to enjoy the lanterns and guess the riddles. Due to the cold weather and the evening, I enjoyed the lanterns in the large courtyard of the first courtyard.

The lanterns in the courtyard are as spectacular as the ten thousand lanterns on the streets outside the house, and they are also delicate and small, all kinds of colors, and they are dizzying. I saw that on the verandah, under the eaves, the trees ~ were full of lanterns. The lanterns are different, there are flowing beads, filaments, painted yarns, five-color bright corners, wheat ~, grass, flowers, birds and beasts, insects and fish, ink and painting on the Ma Ao Mountain, etc., which are dazzling.

At this time, everyone walked to the sandalwood palace and stopped, and the lamp painted a beautiful palace lady with a flying skirt, as if dancing, its dancing posture was fluttering, and the style was charming; On the other side of the painting, there are words and phrases, which are lantern riddles. Nian looked at the palace lamp and said softly: "The guest heart is still tied to the bridgehead." After finishing the sentence, he turned his head slightly and thought for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up, standing under the lanterns, looking at Yin Yingying and said with a smile: "The words and sentences are guessing the word, and this word is Di." When the words fell, a little eunuch drew the note in the lantern and said: "Congratulations to Nian Fujin, this sentence is an anagram, and the word is clean." ”

Wu Shi answered: ", why is it Di, the concubine is stupid, and I don't understand what it means. Nian smiled softly and said elegantly: ""Sanfu Huangtu" cloud: 'The bridge is in the east of Chang'an, and it is a bridge across the water. The Han people sent guests to this bridge and folded willows to say goodbye.

'The Later Tang Dynasty also followed its style, also known as '**. The center of the word "guest" on the puzzle surface, "ba", "bridge", "wood", are tied together, that is, the bottom word "wash". Yin nodded and said, "This is the correct explanation, and it is good." Nian's blessing said: "Xie Ye praises." ”

For a while, no matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone laughed on their faces, and praised Nian's quick thinking. Huizhu sincerely believes that Nian's is indeed Lan's heart. Unlike her, even after listening to the explanation, she didn't understand it, so she didn't care about the lantern riddle, so she went to watch the flowers and enjoy the lanterns.

Suddenly, I heard An's exclamation, and when I looked sideways, An's had fallen to the ground. When everyone heard this, they all looked at An's and saw that An's seemed to be enduring pain, with tears in his eyes. Yin Shen said in a deep voice: "What's the matter, don't you go and help An Shi up." After hearing this, An's tears slid down his cheeks, and he sobbed: "Master, my stomach hurts so much." ”

Clan's words made all the faces of the people present change, and the Ulanala clan took the lead in waking up and asked, "Sister An, why did you have a stomachache, why did you fall down when you didn't follow everyone just now." An shook his head and said, "Ah, it hurts, the concubine's stomach hurts, master, it hurts." I don't know, someone pushed ...... No, it's not, I just felt like I tripped over something, and I fell ......" before I could say a word, and I fainted in pain.

Seeing this, the Ulanala clan hurriedly asked people to carry An into the back hall to lie on the couch, and then beat everyone to go back, Fang and Yin went to the back hall to accompany them, waiting for the imperial doctor to come.

Back in the courtyard, it was already the second watch, and Huizhu didn't think much about An's fainting, so she looked at Hongli and went back to the back room to sleep. By the next morning, An's was three months pregnant.

(It's finally a double shift today.,I continue to ask for votes~~~~~ people.,It's not abusing Huizhu.,I just want to say that there are other ~~~~~ thank you for your support)
