According to legend, the fifteenth rì of the first lunar month is the Shangyuan Festival, the fifteenth rì of the seventh month is the Zhongyuan Festival, and the fifteenth rì of October is the Lower Yuan Festival.

Legend has it that the Shangyuan Festival is the birthday of the Taoist blessing Emperor Ziwei, so the mortal world should light lamps to celebrate. And the first month of the month, Wang, Wang, the first day of the first month, the fifteenth day of the first month is the first "Wangrì" of the year, the so-called "first hope", but also to light the lamp for a whole rì to respect. Both Buddhism and Taoism in Daqin are worshipped, and the New Year Lantern Festival comes from this.

Although the official holiday of the Great Qin official family ended on the fifteenth day of the first month, and the yamen "opened the seal" on the fifteenth day of the first month and there was a court meeting, the Lantern Festival did not end on the fifteenth day. At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty, the lantern festival set by Taizu was from the fourteenth to the sixteenth of the first month, but in fact, the people often came out to hang lamps and set up stalls in the thirteenth rì, and continued to the eighteenth rì square to collect the stalls, and even if it was not the festival "Zheng rìzi", there were a lot of tourists, and the business was quite prosperous. However, the official still guarded the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth rì, and celebrated.

At that time, Taizu ordered to "enjoy with the people", so he ordered the Ministry of Works and Fuze Mansion to build a colorful shed stage on the three main streets of Yong'an, Yongtai and Yongle. On the fifteenth day of the Lantern Festival, the emperor and queen will come to the Qiankun Building on Yongle Street, which is close to the forbidden middle, to accept the people's congratulations, enjoy the lanterns, enjoy the fireworks, and bow down to demonstrate "having fun with the people". The successive Qin emperors after Taizu were all from this example.

When Xia Xiaoman heard this, the first thing that came to his mind was the scene of the founding ceremony and the great leader's ** city tower waving his hand. There is also a square in front of this Qiankun building, and the stage built on the opposite side of the square is the largest of the three official theaters. It's all for the emperor upstairs to take a look. Although it was "happy with the people", it could not be "zero distance from the people", and this square was for security--- adding a buffer between the people and the emperor, so as not to be harmed by assassins.

In the era of cold weapons, this safe distance can indeed ensure safety, mainly because there are no portable weapons that are small in size and have a long range.

The Qiankun building is said to be more than ten zhang high, and there is a separation belt in front, and ordinary crossbow arrows can't go up at all. Unless it's a strong bow, you need to have good arm strength. Weapons such as bows and arrows are also conspicuous. ----Okay? Everyone was happy to watch the play, and suddenly a ...... with a bow and arrow on his back appeared The soldiers of this Fuze Mansion to maintain order are not blind and foolish. Can he still lead the real dragon with a bow and arrows?

From this point of view, before the invention of the pistol, the risk of His Majesty's distant behavior of "having fun with the people" was still relatively small.

No, no, it should be said that before the invention of the grenade, he was safe. It's just that there are really bullets shè up, but there are still tens of thousands of guards around his old man, and he doesn't immediately turn into a chéng rén shield? ---- legend has it that dutiful bodyguards use their bodies as guns in critical moments.

Xia Xiaoman suddenly remembered Zhou Xingxing's version of Wei Xiaobao, the scene where everyone ran to the princess's chariot to escort the car and squeezed it sturdily. couldn't help laughing, if thousands of people pounced on the emperor, it would be a heavyweight weapon in itself, and the emperor had to be flattened alive.

It's extremely coke to think about it, and she also wants to see the pomp and circumstance. Pity. She just thought about it, how to get out? Thirteen rì. On the first day of the Folk Lantern Festival, Xia Xiaoman watched the people of Changshengju arrange simple lanterns in their yards, imagining the hustle and bustle outside after dark, and was extremely melancholy.

Not long after she was melancholy, nine nǎinǎi brought her a chance to go out.

Once the Ji family came to the capital, the Nian family always had to do their best to be a landlord and invite guests to go around the capital. The first stop is the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple on the outskirts of Beijing. Needless to say, the second lady accompanied Ji Zheng's family, but no one accompanied Ji Songshu. To the outskirts of Beijing to the car dealership is quite far away, not to mention, the year forgives this leg and foot is not good, and it is even more troublesome to go to the mountain temple, so it can not be accompanied. In the end, the Nian family arranged for the ninth master and his wife to come forward.

The ninth master is going to participate in the examination with Ji Songshu, after the resumption of classes in the fifteenth Kaiyin School, he also plans to take Ji Songshu to the school, and Mr. Bye will be the same window, and the rì queen has to go out to socialize together, so it is natural for the ninth master to accompany each other at this time. Nine nǎinǎi naturally accompanied Ji Qi and Ji Lingshu.

Xia Xiaoman was not arranged to travel, and stayed at home to serve the master.

This Xia Xiaoman is depressed at home, and Jiunǎinǎi is also depressed when he is playing outside---- Ji Qishi is almost a person who does not speak, but he does not talk to Ji Lingshu for more than half a sentence.

The Sun family is also a family of poetry and books, and the Sun family is also a person who can write poems and lyrics. It's a pity that I met Ji Lingshu. At the beginning, Ji Lingshu poems xìng Dafa she could still follow a few sentences, but Ji Lingshu learned quite a lot, not only poems and songs, but also this hexagram and Buddha can also be used, Jiu nǎinǎi began to feel that the dialogue was difficult, and in the end, he didn't know what Ji Lingshu was talking about, so he couldn't interject. It's been a long journey, and it's choking enough.

As soon as she came back after thirteen o'clock, she ran to Xia Xiaoman, pulled her sleeve, opened her watery eyes, and said pitifully: "Sister Man, let's go with me, we also have a companion and a person to talk to." ”

Xia Xiaoman couldn't cry or laugh after listening to her tactful speech, and began to weigh in his heart, whether it was more painful not to go out to play, or more painful to go out with a Tang monk. However, she couldn't say anything, only said: "This is embarrassing for me, I just want to go, but I can't be the master." ”

Jiu nǎinǎi blinked and said, "Sister Man only responds to me." I went to think about it with my sister. ”

She really has a way, and somehow persuaded the second lady, and actually agreed to let Nian Liang and Jiu Ye accompany Ji Songshu,--- because Fourteen Rì only needs to go around in the inner city, and the road is smooth and not a big problem, Nian Liang himself also wanted to go out, and Jiu Ye patted his chest again to ensure that there would be no mistakes in protecting him. The matter was finalized, and Xia Xiaoman naturally followed.

Jiu nǎinǎi happily came back and sent the letter, Xia Xiaoman was still entangled in whether it was something to be happy about going out with Tang Seng to play, but Nian Liang's words added a happy bargaining chip.

Because Xia Xiaoman casually mentioned the Lantern Festival, Nian Liang pondered: "The Lantern Festival night is at home according to the rules, but tomorrow night is also lively." It's better not to go home first. Dinner went to my cousin's house on Wanxiang Street, and it was cheap to go directly to enjoy the lanterns from there at night. ”

Qing Ying listened to the persuasion and said: "It's the bright and white day to go out, the second lady is a thousand instructions, for fear that there will be a little mistake, the slaves and maids are starting to be suspenseful from now, this night there are many black people and cars......"

Nian Liang disagreed, and said: "Where is it so dangerous." In previous years, the Festival of Lights has not been out. This year, it's just in the car. ”

Xia Xiaoman was happy. You can only sit in the car, and in previous years you could walk upright. This year it's lame. If you sit in a wheelchair, it is still shorter than a person, and it is crowded. You can't see anything if you're not tall, what can you see with this half?! You have to look up at the back of people's heads.

Qing Ying shook her head and said, "I'm afraid the second lady won't allow it." ”

Nian Liang waved his hand and said: "How far is it to Yongtai Street?" Don't worry. I took my cousin and ninth brother with me, and the second aunt will definitely agree. ”

Xia Xiaoman was sure when he heard what he said, and couldn't help but start thinking about the next travel plan in his heart.

However, no matter how good the plan is, it is useless, and the plan will never change fast.

The next morning, the New Year's trip was completely canceled.

The Lu family sent a message of worship early, saying that Mrs. Lu would come to visit later.

It was not only Jiu Nǎinǎi and Xia Xiaoman who were disrupted in their plans, but also Nian Yu. And he was much more depressed than the two of them.

He was looking forward to the fact that the Lu family would not come during the New Year, and he had a reason to withdraw from the old lady. Who knew that it was only one step away, and the Lu family came on the last day of the New Year's Festival, and it was a bad plan for him.

He was dressed and ready to go out, but when he got this letter, he reluctantly sent someone to the second lady and the ninth master to say that he couldn't go. He frowned sullenly and pondered for a long time. With a calm face, he ordered to change his clothes.

Qing Ying said in a low voice: "After a while, it was said that Lord Lu also came over." Isn't this big coat just a good time to meet guests......"

Nian Liang gritted his teeth and said, "See a guest? Missing. Change. The master is unwell and wants to lie down. ”

Qing Sakura knew that he was angry. hesitated, and finally sighed: "The slave and maid are arrogant, you have to say a word, but the master doesn't give Lord Lu face like this, and even the old lady's face can't get by." The master should think about it in the long run, and if he can't make a mistake, he will offend his family first. ”

Nian Liang shook his head and said, "It's not offended." I have always been frail, last night occasionally felt a cold, got up in the morning a little painful, the body is also tired, sick to see the guest is afraid of gaffe, but rude, you are like this back to the ancestors

Qing Ying was still about to speak, and Nian Liang said: "I have my own plan, you go back to your grandfather first, and see what your grandfather says." ---- same with my grandmother. He paused and said, "Let's also go and see if the second aunt is out." It's the same if you don't go out. Go ahead. Full mother, change clothes. ”

Qing Sakura had no choice but to retire and go outside to reply.

Xia Xiaoman didn't move, but said, "Don't you wait for the old lady's reply to see if you want to change your clothes?" So as not to wear it again after a while, it will be troublesome. ”

Nian Liang frowned and said, "No need." Let's change clothes. ”

Xia Xiaoman raised his eyebrows and said, "You have already sent someone to ask the old lady." Don't wait for a reply? ”

Nian Liang hesitated, calmed down, and said, "That's it, let's wait a while." ”

When the word came back from the other side, the old lady said that there was no need to see guests in the new year, so that he could give birth to children; The old lady ordered to go and ask for a doctor; The second lady didn't go out when she got the letter, but only ordered the people of the Changsheng Residence to wait for her, and then went to the old lady's side.

This is the acquiescence of senior leaders.

Xia Xiaoman and Nian Liang changed their homely clothes, and asked Nian Liang if he wanted to lie down. Nian Liang shook his head and said: "Since the old lady said so, the second aunt has also passed, so there is no need to lie down." ”

Xia Xiaoman sneered and said, "What if the doctor is really here?" Just sent away? ”

Nian Liang sat down at the table, stretched out his arm, and said, "You can also diagnose the pulse while sitting." Before the doctor came, a little maid of the second lady hurriedly came over and said, "Madame sent a slave to tell the master that Mrs. Lu is coming to visit the patient." ”

Nian Liang was lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, and his brows were twisted like twisted flowers, not only hating the Lu family, but also choking on the smell of the house.

He has been in good shape recently, not like he is seriously ill, Xia Xiaoman is wondering if he should paint him some makeup. made a fake, but he refused to let her put grease powder on her face, so she had to ask someone to press two layers of quilts on him--- the room was already hot, and after a while, she covered her sweat, and her forehead was sweating, which was a bit of a patient's meaning.

The main character is a little interesting, and the rest is up to creating the atmosphere.

Xia Xiaoman first asked the doors and windows to be closed, and then ordered someone to find some medicine residue and residual medicine soup. I took a hanging stick and put it on the stove and simmered for a while, which was the smell of bitter medicine all over the room. Removed the stove and lit the incense again. It looks like you're going to suppress the smell of medicine. However, the mixture of these two flavors is very strange. It hurts people's brains.

Nian Liang couldn't help but say: "This tastes ......!" Alas, such a toss is not sick but also sick. ”

"But you said you were going to be seriously ill." Xia Xiaoman covered his mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief, handed him another one, and couldn't help laughing: "This is the smell of this house for the first two months!" Not bad at all. It's not that I asked to open the windows every day for ventilation, and then it was good! You used to be able to last so long, not bad for a while, where do you remember what the smell was in the house in the past, but in the past, you did drink the medicine and light the smell of incense and pressure medicine, and then Manniang called the medicine and opened the window. Come to think of it, that's true. I had to nod, cover my veil, and say no more.

This effort was not in vain, Mrs. Lu, accompanied by the second lady, came to the Changsheng Residence, and this time entered the outer room of the warm pavilion. I smelled very strong medicine. frowned slightly, and the sixth year of the heart was seriously ill, and it was really not a rumor. Wait for the curtain to be lifted. She almost didn't choke, what a smell!

Her body shook, and was supported by the second lady beside her, she turned her head sideways and thanked her, and when she saw the second lady, she didn't know if she was used to it, and said with a smile. Mrs. Lu has the heart to cry, and the door is choked like this, and there is no one in the house to choke to death? But all he could do was smile, smile, smile---- although he had a slight facial cramp, and then he walked into the warm pavilion with a dignified step.

Qing Ying and Xia Xiaoman moved chairs and served tea, and said in a low voice: "My grandfather has a little fever in the morning, and he sweats after drinking medicine, and he is better, especially a little confused, I can't salute my wife, and I hope my wife will forgive me." ”

Mrs. Lu probed her head, and saw that Nian Liang was really sweaty and very weak, sighed, and said to the second lady: "The nephew can find a good doctor and a good student to diagnose and treat." ----The first two rì my family aunt nǎinǎi dyed 恙, someone recommended a doctor, medical theory is very jīng......"

The second lady interrupted her with a smile and said, "Thank you, Mrs. for thinking about him." It's just that now they are all imperial doctors sent by the palace to the concubine Niangniang......"

Mrs. Lu's eyebrows twitched, she smiled reluctantly, and said, "That's very good." ”

She took a sip of tea, and felt that the smell in the house was getting heavier and heavier, and her house was almost fainted, so she couldn't sit still, so she hurriedly told Nian to forgive the good student to rest, and she sent someone to send some supplements ginseng and other things to come over Yunyun, so she got up and said goodbye.

Everyone sent Mrs. Lu through the hall, and the second lady asked her to go up first, and she turned around and looked at Xia Xiaoman and Qing Ying, shook her head with a smile, and said in a very low voice: "It's really nonsense." Then he raised his voice and said: "Good life takes care of your master, if there is anything to report in time." ”

Xia Xiaoman and Qing Ying turned back to the room, and Nian Liang was helped up by the little maid, lifted a layer of quilts, put on his clothes, and covered his wet handkerchief and panted. The window over there was also called open, but fortunately it was not open.

Qing Ying hurriedly pressed the corner and said, "Be careful, get up again when the sweat falls, you don't have to stand the wind." ”

Xia Xiaoman went to the window, closed the window a little smaller, leaving only a slit, and ordered someone to tie up the door curtain to dissipate the smell.

Nian Liang gasped for two breaths before he recovered, and said hatefully: "She can sit for so long before leaving!" It's hard for her. After a pause, he sighed, "It's a pity." Bai Sheng is sick like this, but it is not easy to go out at night. I have to wait for sixteen to enjoy the lanterns......"
