Chapter 243: Night Banquet

The first day of the first lunar month of the new year is the most solemn festival on the snowy plateau, on the first day of the new year, every household has to put the green seedlings, oil buns, sheep's heads, grain buckets and other things on the tea table of the Buddha shrine, wishing their own life and abundant food in the new year.

During the New Year, in the square or on the open grass, with the accompaniment of various musical instruments, everyone will join hands and gather in a circle to dance and sing in harmony, immersed in a joyful, festive and peaceful festive atmosphere.

This is the most lively time of the year, and the joy of the harvest of the year is released at this time, and even the most serious and old-fashioned people will smile when it comes to the New Year.

In the New Year, every house in the city of Luo is lit up with lights, and at night, from a distance, thousands of lights are lit, and then lined with snow, light and shadow meet, and it looks extremely magnificent.

The royal city is even more lively, with officials and nobles, and wealthy businessmen making all kinds of lanterns to celebrate the New Year and welcome the New Year.

On the evening of the fifteenth, Zampu will have fun with the people, go to the square opposite the Potala Palace to have fun with the people, and hold a large-scale moon viewing activity, such an activity can only be seen by the people above the court officials, and only the officials above the fifth grade can set up a curtain on the square to admire the moon.

Being able to see Zampu on this day is a very exciting event for most of the courtiers and families who have never seen Zampu once in their lives.

It is not uncommon for people to spend a lot of money to buy a seat for the sake of this day from those officials who are qualified to watch from the square.

Of course, this is also a good way to get close to the court officials.

Admire the moon in the same tent, and after this night, you will have a much deeper friendship, and it will be much smoother to do things in the future.

And on this night, the atmosphere of the city of Logos is the most open, and the young men and the beautiful girls can see each other in the light and without any scruples about the great defense of men and women on this day.

Every year, many young men and women take this opportunity to pour out their hearts, even if they are bound by the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers, but this kind of family affair that is only formed after seeing each other is of course more desirable.

The moon viewing tent in the palace is located in the center of the square, which is also the best position on the square, and it is the status and glory of the royal family to stand there and enjoy the moon and listen to the songs and dances, and look down on the people.

Li Yuntong dressed up and went to Cai Bangsa's Langyue Palace, and heard the laughter of the girls from a distance.

Seeing the maid leading Li Yuntong in, Chizun, who happened to come out to look, hurriedly greeted him from under the corridor.

Walking up to Li Yuntong, she stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Everyone has been here for a while, Saimaga is waiting anxiously inside, saying that we are preparing everyone to have dinner earlier, and then go to the square quickly, let's go in quickly, so as not to wait for her to wait for white eyes." ”

"Heh, you're so early." Li Yuntong held Chizun's outstretched hand, and Ying Ying smiled: "Sister Chizun's red woven gold fur is really good-looking. ”

Chizun raised his head and chuckled, "I wear it mainly to be light and warm, and at this time, I have to wear it lightly, I can't find it in the crowd, Sister Wencheng, why are you dressed so darkly today?" The cloak of the silver rat was warm, but the color was so dark that at night, you couldn't see anyone when you stood on the backlight. ”

Li Yuntong just didn't want to be too dazzling under the lamp, so he deliberately changed into an eggplant purple silver rat cloak and wrapped it outside, and when he heard Chizun ask, he said vaguely, "I'm afraid that it will be cold to see the lights at night." ”

"Although it is on the square, it is also in the palace, and even the silver charcoal is lit in the curtain, where is it that freezes you? You still haven't adapted to the weather in Tibet. Chizun said as he looked at her and laughed, "But you are good-looking, even if you wear such an old-fashioned color, you only feel that it is rich and atmospheric, and whoever sees it must praise 'what a beauty'." ”

"My sister praised it falsely, there is no shortage of beauties in this palace." Li Yuntong smiled and diverted the topic, "Who else is inside?" Although I've seen it on weekdays, I'm afraid that there will be flowers and brocades at this time, and I can't tell the difference for a while. ”

The wives of the clan are going to come to Jin on this day, and they have to eat the so-called family banquet together, and they know that a lot of people have come just by listening to it.

Chizun smiled softly, "Where do you need to be introduced, when I see you, they will naturally surround you to say goodbye, since I heard that you can do divination, and because you can see feng shui to choose the address of the Buddhist temple, now the ladies and nobles in the capital are staring at you." ”

Li Yuntong understood that Chizun was reminding her to be careful, and nodded with a smile, "Thank you, sister, I'll keep my mouth shut and pretend to be dumb for a while." ”

"That's not going to happen." Chizun shook his head, "If you want to do that, those old people should say that you are arrogant and sloppy." ”

After entering, as Chizun said, as soon as Li Yuntong entered, those women came around to greet her, and then asked her about feng shui divination by greeting her.

Li Yuntong simply nodded and smiled, and later took advantage of the time when those women asked Chizun to say goodbye, and walked to Cai Bang Sazhi Ma Tuojia to salute and speak, far away from those people, out of sight.

After a while, Saimaga came over to salute them, and then smiled and said to Zhima Toga, "Musa, don't detain us today, although we are in the palace, but once a year, if it is too formal, it will be boring." While it was still dark, my sister-in-law and I had some wine first. ”

Zhima Tuojia looked at his little daughter, who was about to get married in a few months, and waved his hand: "Go ahead, don't pay attention to the mourning family and those aunts, aunts, you young people go to play by yourself." ”

Saimaga dragged Li Yuntong and them to the flower hall of Langyue Palace, and greeted a bunch of young girls, after entering, she clapped her hands, and the girls shuttled over, and after a while, the flower hall was put on the drink.

There are four cold cuts, eight hot dishes, and a few plates of pastries on each table, which are not very many, but everything is very exquisite, unlike the usual style of eating meat in large pieces and drinking wine in large bowls.

Saimaga happily said to everyone: "This is what I learned from Zanmeng, it is the flavor of the Tang Dynasty, you see, is it very good?" ”

The girls were naturally flattered.

Chizun was about to sit down with Li Yuntong, when Letoman walked from behind Saimaga, took her hand and said, "Momeng, where did you run just now?" We're looking for you everywhere. ”

Chizun smiled: "I just sat here with Sister Wencheng, and I didn't see you." ”

Letoman saluted her perfunctorily as if he had seen Li Yuntong.

On a happy day, Li Yuntong didn't want to worry about her, so he smiled and nodded in response.

Li Yuntong was like this, Letoman was a little uncomfortable, smiled at her awkwardly, and then pulled Chizun and said, "Momeng, Laheman wants to see you, you can sit over there......"

was pulled by Letoman, and seeing that Lahman was waving over there, Chizun had no choice but to smile apologetically at Li Yuntong and follow her.

Chizun just came to Tibet, and it was the kindness released by Letoman and Laheman that helped her establish herself as soon as possible, and she couldn't refuse. It is impossible to force her to sit with Li Yuntong, no matter what, Letoman always has an awkward relationship with Li Yuntong, and if he sits with them in a bunch, everyone is uncomfortable.

Chi Jia saw Li Yuntong sitting there alone, so he walked over.

Before she could walk up, she was dragged by a noble girl at another table, "Sister Chijia, come and sit with us, I haven't seen you for a long time......"

It was her own sister, and Chi Jia couldn't refuse, so she walked over.

The rest, either because of insufficient identity, or because of other reasons to avoid, in the end, it was supposed to be good for everyone to have fun together, but only Li Yuntong sat at the table alone, fortunately, she didn't care about these, and she didn't feel embarrassed because she was excluded and left out in the cold.

Anyway, her identity is there, even if others have any dissatisfaction, they can only hide it, and no one dares to show their dissatisfaction to her face-to-face.

It's just that all she drinks is tea, and she doesn't get a drop of wine.

Sitting next to Saimaga, there was a clan lady Mai Duo who saw this, took a wine jug, and after saluting Li Yuntong, she smiled coquettishly: "I don't know if the courtiers have the honor to sit at the same table with Zanmeng?" ”

Li Yuntong smiled and pointed to the chair, and motioned for the maid to wait for Dexie Maiduo to sit down.

After sitting down, Dexie Maiduo raised the wine jug and said with a smile: "It's all warm wine, Zanmeng drinks some of it, and it is easier for everyone to get close to each other." ”

No matter what reason Mai Duo sat here, Li Yuntong saw that she seemed to have good intentions, so he smiled and said: "I'm going to enjoy the moon and watch the dance for a while, I'm afraid that I won't even see the moon if I'm drunk." ”

"It's okay, it's all honey-like fruit wine. This is one of our Tibetan specialties, and Zanmeng should try it. Dexie Maiduo picked up the wine glass on the table and filled it with both hands and gave it to Li Yuntong.

After withdrawing her hand, she also picked out a piece of rose poria cake and put it in her mouth, and said with a smile: "Datang's dim sum is delicious, if you don't come to the palace, you can't eat it, and the back will be empty, the courtiers are looking for someone to learn from Zanmeng's cook, you must agree." ”

Li Yuntong liked her untwisted style, took the wine glass and drank it all, and chuckled after putting it down, "It's really like honey, it's very sweet." If you want to eat, wait for the New Year, even if you let people come into the palace to learn. ”

Dexie Mai Duo hummed twice, finished eating the Poria cake in his mouth, and said with a smile: "I heard that the women of the Tang Dynasty are not like us Tubo women, you are not good at drinking, and Princess Saimaga is also afraid that we will get drunk, so she will not let us drink openly." But with this delicious snack and delicious meal, no one dares to drink more, lest they drink too much and can't eat. ”

She ate a few more things, and smiled at Li Yuntong and praised: "Datang's things are good, everything is good." ”
