Chapter 31: The Flower Dynasty Festival of Tianning Temple [1]

You shouted that you wanted to hold a flower dynasty last year, and now you have finally fulfilled your wish. Bi'er's hand got down from the sedan chair in the four directions, and smiled at Lianxiang, who stepped forward to support her carefully: "You can imagine that you have to let your master make this sedan chair, just to carry me to the painting boat." If it weren't for Lord Futai still in Huai'an and didn't return, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get out. ”

Lian Xiang smiled and said, "That's my idea again, you raised a baby at home, and you haven't been out of the house for two months, it was the second master who shouted to talk to you, and he pulled the third master Qi to tell him to find a way." This sleeping bridge was made when the original master was in order to carry the second master back to Yangzhou, and now it has been renovated inside and out. Look at this red satin sedan curtain, the sedan chair hanging, and the multicolored incense silver rings and velvet blessing pillows inside, all of which were said by Qi Sanye, I went to place it, where can the second master stand it? ”

Qi Su Niang covered her mouth and smiled, and Lian Xiang carefully helped her sit on the five-flower cotton chair by the railing, "Do you feel comfortable?" I put two layers of wool felt and two layers of suede cushions to cover this layer of five-flower brocade chair cover. ”

Qi Su Niang straightened up and asked Bi'er to cover her with an agarwood-colored silk cloak, and said with a smile: "Thank you Grandma for bothering, the villain is so comfortable." ”

Lianxiang covered her mouth and smiled, turned her head and said, "Rui'er, add a shirt to Hai Jing, he has been better these days, but I can't let him catch a cold anymore." ”

While talking, the sedan chair drivers carried the sedan chair out of the cabin and put it behind the cabin. The painting boat drove out from the wharf of the back of the house, slowly walked out of the old city, crossed the Hongqiao, and went to the Tianning Temple outside the north gate.

The flower boats by the Hongqiao surround the painting boat of Youchun, selling flowers. The daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law of Lianfu bargained with the flower boat at the bow of the boat, and put pots of gorgeous peach blossoms on the painting boat. Qi Su Niang breathed in the water with the fragrance of flowers, smiled and said to Bi'er and Zhi'er: "You stay in the house with me, it's raining from time to time these days, and I've been holding it for two months, so I also went to the bow of the boat to see the flowers, let's buy a few pots and go home, just be careful not to fall." ”

Bi'er responded with a smile, and pulled the joyful branch out of the cabin. Half a leaf and a seed also begged for lotus incense, followed out of the boat together, and laughed at the bow of the boat.

Seeing the painting boat crossing the Hongqiao, Qi Su woman smiled and said, "The second master and my brother are still in Tianning Temple?" The emperor's palace is so good-looking? ”

Lian Xiang saw Sister Gui sneaking out, turned around and smiled: "Wang Fu and Cheng Fu have contracted the errand of repairing the palace, I heard the master say that there is really a ground paved with silver and bricks made of gold. I can't say it, and I'm going to pull you to see it. ”

Rui'er handed Haijing into the hands of the nurse. also smiled: "It's all spread outside." Wang Fu and Cheng Fu did it this time. I'm afraid it won't cost more than 100,000 taels of silver. The daily price only saw the Caoshang land goods sent to the Tianning Temple Palace. Linqing glazed bricks, Suzhou gold bricks, Taihu porphyry, Fangshan white marble, Xuanhua pigments, and pine wood in the two lakes are the best in the world. Zheng Mansion and Liu Mansion chartered a banquet. But all the heavenly enclaves. Running on the ground. Swim in the water. It's all unusual. Go straight to the springs, to the tops, to the crevices of the earth. Don't say it's me with the names of those dishes. It's our grandfather who said it. I don't know where it came from. ”

"Didn't the big boss and the largest grain merchant in Yangzhou contract the golden berth wharf to welcome the singing and dancing fireworks? I heard that there are no less than 20 women in Suzhou. The singing and dancing masters were also invited from Jiangning and Suzhou. Outside, it is said that there is fairy music on the lake in front of Tianning Temple every day. Qi Su Niang stretched out her hand to open the white curtain. My brother is so temperamental. You can still be in a monk temple like Tianning Temple every day. Thinking about it, those Su operas are really like immortals. ”

Lianxiang laughed for a while. Sit on the railing next to Qi Su Niang. sighed. "Our lord also doesn't stay home every once in a while. Even the great rivers and even the great boats followed over there. Needless to say, the second master. I was able to go out last month. Running out with joy. In addition to staying at Xu Erguan and Cao Sanniang for a few days. It was to stay in Tianning Temple.

You don't go out. Home...... It's so cold. ”

Qi Su Niang sighed secretly. He had to comfort: "Those are the land that was to be dedicated to the masters." They don't have to ask for their own reasoning. But it's just to ask them to accompany the wine. Drink a few koji. After a while, the emperor came. People send out. That's it. ”

Lianxiang nodded slowly. said with a wry smile: "I was in the Xu family at the beginning." Gentlemen have seen a lot of things to do outside and not stay at home. I didn't expect to meet me. It's still so hard...... Three years have passed since I came to Yangzhou...... I can't hold my breath now...... Xu was scared when he came back from injury last time......"

Qi Su Niang looked at Lianxiang and said cautiously: "You and the big boss ......"

Lianxiang smiled slightly, "He treats me very well...... I'm content too......"

Qi Su Niang looked at the smile on Lianxiang's face, and somehow, she felt a sour look in her eyes, took her hand, and smiled reluctantly: "It's good...... Have a good ......."

The painting boat is mixed in the flower festival to go to the plum blossom ridge to enjoy the flower in the cruise, out of the Gongchen Gate, far away you can hear the eighteen slow bells in the Tianning Temple, the Huabiao gatehouse in front of the Tianning Temple is towering into the clouds, and because of the continuous spring rain to wash it, you can see the royal pen pro-inscription "Pranya Miaoyuan" in one or two miles away.

Qi Su Niang saw the romantic spring flowers on both sides of the riverbank, purple and red, and saw that the painting boat was not in the doorway, turned to the west, and saw the pink and white flower trees, blooming like clouds, covering half the sky, and couldn't help but exclaim, "That's an apricot blossom?" There are so many, I'm afraid there are not ten acres of square area? ”

Sister Gui took the potted moon flowers into the cabin, the girl hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and waited for her to wash the water, Sister Gui said with a smile while washing: "I heard that it was originally the lower courtyard of Tianning Temple, but now it has been changed to the Imperial Garden, and the flowers in it are just that, saying that there are two ginkgo trees, I am afraid that there are not thousands of years, and they have been handed down from the Southern Jin Dynasty." ”

Lianxiang covered her mouth and smiled: "I only said that Tianning Temple is the residence of Jin Prime Minister Xie An, who knows if it's true." The second master is in the garden, and the Wang family has sealed this piece to rush to work, but there are few people. We can go in and enjoy the flowers while hanging red, and we don't have to worry about the lady being squeezed. ”

Qi Su Niang said curiously: "Your grandfather and Wang Fu have such a good relationship? Do you want them to go in at this time? ”

Lian Xiang whispered in her ear: "Although it is not true, I heard that Wang's mansion secretly asked Cao Chuan to transport smuggled salt for them.

The head is earned. Qi Su Niang stammered: "No wonder their family's silver, Lord Cao, has saved his life, and the more bold they are." ”

"Who's to say it isn't? That time, Lord Cao was dismissed, and they also used their strength to some extent. Although Lord Cao wanted to fill the shortfall, he couldn't do his best to offend them, so now he naturally eased up. Lian Xiang looked at the girls hugging the bow of the boat, Rui'er coaxed Hai Jing in the back cabin, and whispered: "It's the river pacesetter, Master Cui is now loose in the private salt, I guess, how much is also a share of money......

Qi Su Niang laughed in a low voice: "Your news is also very good, and your lord will not avoid you......"

"It's just three points of listening, seven points of guessing. They occasionally say a word or two when they drink and eat, and they can listen to half of the big rivers and boats. The Xu family used to eat salt, and I followed the old lady and asked a lot about these ......"

While talking, the boat turned into the Xingyuan Water Gate, and Lian Dahe followed in front of the door, and went up to the bow of the boat to greet Qi Suniang and Lianxiang Qian'er, Lianxiang hurriedly stopped him and saluted, and summoned him into the cabin. Qi Su Niang saw that although he had lost his left arm, he was still full of energy, and he was still the same as before, and said with a smile: "The big housekeeper looks good." Can the wound still hurt when it rains? ”

Lian Dahe said respectfully: "Thank you Madame for the medicine, those two boxes of ointment are smeared, and they can resist the dampness in the spring rain, and now the weather is getting better." The small ones are not willing to use them again, so they are collected and waited for the rainy season in April and May. ”

Lian Xiang said with a smile: "The six boxes of the second master have already been wiped by him, our master snatched some from his hands and sent them to Tianduantang for the doctors to see, if they can make it, the second master and Dahe will not have to suffer in the future." He turned his head and asked Lian Dahe, "Where are the three masters?" ”

"Back to my aunt, the master, the second master, and the third master Qi watched the singing and dancing on the lake, and it happened that Henan sent a boat of fireworks over, and it was almost evening, so it was going to be tested on the water, and Mrs. and aunt and grandmother could just watch the excitement."

Rui'er came in from the back cabin and said with a smile: "This is really a coincidence, and the slaves and maids can also take a look at the fireworks that supply the emperor's dragon eyes." Bi'er and Banye listened to each other, exchanged glances, laughed non-stop, and Lianxiang smiled: "Hai Jing is sleeping?" Fortunately, we brought him clothes, and I was not afraid that he would catch a cold when it was late.

Qi Su Niang said for a long time, and she was already a little tired, "Big housekeeper, are you taking us to the lake?" Lian Dahe said: "When Xiaodi came over, the second master and the third master Qi instructed the little ones to go to the courtyard by the lake after a while, and asked the little ones to take their wives to the courtyard to rest." ”

Sister Gui walked up to him, "Big housekeeper, is the master still on the lake?" ”

"The master is still listening to the music of the Wu masters, although it is only a song "Shengping Qingle" and a song "Shou Tongtian" introduction, but the emperor can hear it before he gets off the imperial ship, and he can see it, the more detailed it is." Lian Dahe smiled bitterly: "Those leading maikos, in addition to practicing these two dances now, they can't take one more step and say a word, and the little ones are uncomfortable watching from the sidelines." ”

Lian Xiang laughed and said, "You are so careful? I thought it would be easy for our family to do this errand......"

Lian Dahe said with a smile: "Auntie doesn't know, the errand under the emperor's eyelids is not easy anymore." A few days ago, news came from Texas that the general affairs of the local wealthy businessmen did not conform to the holy will, and the emperor had not done him, so he returned home that day, and a rope was hanged, so as not to affect the family. Fortunately, I grabbed it, and the emperor soothed it with kind words, and passed on the decree, it is not a luxury to welcome people everywhere, but it is more difficult for us to do this. The houses are tense, for fear of making mistakes. ”

Lian Xiang was speechless, and turned her head to look at Qi Su Niang, "The emperor's face is about to die or live, madam, when you were on an errand in front of the emperor, didn't you worry about it every day and didn't live in peace?" ”

Qi Su Niang saw that everyone looked over, and said with a wry smile: "I can enter the palace to wait for the emperor, that is a great grace, as long as I can be loyal to the emperor, my heart will be at peace." ”

Lian Xiang and Lian Dahe laughed at the same time, Qi Su Niang saw that the dock was approaching, and the daughters-in-law and girls all went to the bow of the boat, Fang smiled and said: "I was worried all the time for a while. I can't sleep at night, I just think about every word and every look of the masters in the daytime, I have to think twice when I raise my hands and feet, and I have to think twice when I look at the sun going down, and I have to be glad to survive the day safely......" sighed softly, "Every time I pass by Taiping Lake in the garden of Jianfu Palace, I think that if I jump down, I may be able to sleep peacefully......"

Lian Xiang and Lian Dahe were both shocked, and Lian Xiang hurriedly took Qi Su Niang's hand, "Don't talk about these dead people, they have recruited the child in the belly...... Look, it's almost time to get to the dock, and you still lie down in the sedan chair and ask someone to carry you. Let's stay in the yard and tell the girls to hang red and play in the apricot grove......"

Even Dahe smiled and said: "That courtyard is also an open pavilion, specially for flower appreciation, and the small ones who stay will ask someone to get this chair down and place it, and the lady can sit in the open pavilion and enjoy the scenery." ”

Qi Su Niang smiled slightly, "I'm a little tired, let me sleep for a while......" As she spoke, she slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep......
