Chapter 217: Chinese New Year
Before the queen got married, although she never left Sichuan and Chongqing, the territory of Sichuan and Chongqing is so big, what she saw and heard was comparable to that of the emperor who lived in the palace since childhood.
On top of the people's feelings, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion back then followed the Sichuan and Chongqing soldiers and the people to plow the land, farm, dig ditches and divert water, and did all kinds of work, and the emperor was far less than she knew.
Xiang Run forgot about Baisha County for a while, and listened with great interest to Yanyan's talk about the customs and customs, saying that the supernatural things that had happened there were in Qiyan's view, and the theory of gods and ghosts was not uncommon among the people.
"Fearing ghosts and gods can be used to restrain some people, and it can also be used to appease some people, and it is not advisable to be overly superstitious." Ruyan said, "Even the emperor often wants to open the altar to worship the sky, don't you have a little idea in your heart that you want the gods and Buddhas to bless you?" ”
Xiang Run's head said: "I understand what you mean, I don't want to investigate anything in Baisha County, I just think it's strange, since they are safe and sound, it is the best." ”
Ruyan said with a smile: "If the emperor is free, he will go around on a micro-service visit, you don't even know what your country is like, how to govern her better?" ”
Xiang Run took the excerpt and ordered the attendant to take it away, took his wife's hand and said: "After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will take you back to Sichuan and Chongqing, call your brother back, and do a happy event in the general's mansion, and also let your people there be happy and happy for their general." I have always said that I will take you home to save my relatives, but now that even your brother has been transferred to the coast, this provincial family matter is becoming more and more unreliable. ”
Like a smoke of great joy, he got up and saluted: "Thank you for the emperor's grace for my brother." ”
The emperor took her into his arms and said with a smile: "By the way, let's also go around, there are Uncle Huang and Shen Yun in the capital, I don't have to worry." ”
Ruyan said: "The emperor is more leisurely than his father and queen mother, in case you meet your father and mother on the road, how can you have a relationship?" ”
Xiang Run thought about it, and laughed first: "Let's turn around and run." ”
The emperor did not inquire deeply about the affairs of Baisha County, but only reminded the magistrate that this place had been hit by snow disasters and floods in winter, so he should be extra careful. The young magistrate is dedicated to the people, so he has naturally been working everywhere to prepare for disasters.
Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and the territory of Daqi is full of lights and lights to prepare for the old and welcome the new, and the Lingxiao Inn is also well decorated.
Su Su said that she has been here for a few years, and it is the first time she has seen the inn in the New Year when she pasted window flower couplets to write blessing words, and this year because of Xiaowan's words, many years of habits have changed.
In front of the inn, the father and son were arguing, Pei'er had to paste his crooked Fu character at the gate, Ling Chaofeng didn't agree, the little guy immediately came to move the rescuers, Xiaowan wanted to paste his son's Fu word, Ling Chaofeng could only do it.
The family happily prepared for the New Year, and the New Year's goods prepared for Ershan Lianyi in the capital had already been sent to others, and the New Year's goods that the family ate and gave away were piled up with a warehouse full of grains.
Aunt Zhang sighed again and again, at this moment last year, Ling Chaofeng had an inexplicable serious illness, which scared them a lot, how could they have thought that a year later, she would marry her daughter-in-law and even get pregnant with a baby.
So early the next morning, I asked Uncle Biao to catch the car, and took Pei'er and Susu to the town of Chenghuang Temple to reward God and Buddha.
So that night, while the family was asleep, he ran to the kitchen, carried an elbow, brought a plate of roast goose, and carried a large bundle of sausages and bacon and a jar of wine.
By the Lechuan River, an old man and a young man sat side by side, and the lord of Hades ate wine and drank meat, so unhappy.
He said to Ling Pei happily: "It's rare that someone still thinks about me, and every Chinese New Year's Eve, I feel aggrieved in my heart." They are all immortals, no one has ever worshiped me, you see the stove prince, people call it a moisturizing, I still want to go to him in a few days to rub some incense. ”
Pei'er said: "You are in charge of the underworld, mortals only seek utilitarian benefits in this world, and the things of this world have not been clarified, who will take care of the affairs after death, and it is not unusual to think of you." Then again, if someone who has done evil worships you and asks you to come and open up the net, should you? ”
Lord Hades laughed and said, "The little guy is so deep in wisdom that I feel comfortable listening to it." Speaking of which, when will you be able to ascend to heaven and return to the throne? Be a little fat man in the mortal world, aggrieved or not? ”
Pei'er smiled: "There is nothing more interesting than being a man, my father likes to be a man so much, and I like it too." ”
Lord Hades said, "If this life is complete, your father will return to heaven and return to his throne, what about your mother?" ”
Pei'er was stunned for a moment, and Lord Yama said, "The marriage in this life is over here?" ”
"If that's the case, there's no way." Pei'er said, "My mother is just a flower. ”
"Look at me, I've made you unpleasant." Lord Hades said, "I should always thank you for eating your wine and food, Xiaolongsun, you came to me, you didn't just come to see me so kindly, right?" ”
Pei'er said: "The younger generation wants to ask you to show me the book of life and death, to see how long Xu's Yang Shou is, my mother asked her father to send the poisonous woman earlier, I am worried that there will be karma on my mother herself." ”
Lord Yama smiled: "Don't worry, as long as the people above don't come to make trouble, nothing can be wrong, do you know what I mean?" ”
Pei'er was overjoyed, so she promised to bring food to Lord Yama in a few days, and returned to the earth happily.
Early the next morning, Uncle Biao said that there was no wine and food in the kitchen, but there were no traces of thieves in the inn, and there were no footprints of wild wolves.
Uncle Biao said that he would never be mistaken, and said angrily that if he caught the thief stealing wine and food, he would be beaten severely.
Pei'er unconsciously covered her little buttocks and quickly ran away.
In the capital, Langzhong's house is also full of lights, although the little grandson's home is narrow, but the old lady's heart is bright, and she lives naturally happy. even ordered the eldest grandson to tell the people in the Bi family that there was no need to go to Langzhong Mansion to disturb her during the New Year, and as for whether they went to the Prime Minister's Mansion or not, she didn't care.
Bi Chengxiang was originally grounded for two years, but this time he was brought back by Bi Zhenye and sent to his home as he was.
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Ershan and Bi Zhenye were both graced by the emperor and allowed them to enter the palace for a banquet, their official positions were only in the five products, and they may not have this honor in exchange for others, and even the old lady was invited by the Empress Dowager, so the family did not prepare a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and they all entered the palace to enjoy the banquet according to the makeup.
At the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, Lian Yi and the old lady, who were entertained by the Empress Dowager and the empress, were invited to talk, and when other high-ranking officials and nobles saw this scene, they knew that the lintel of Bifu was still there, and they treated Bi Zhenye and Ling Zhu a little more politely.
And Bi Zhenye has followed his father in the officialdom since he was a child, and he knows far more people than Ershan.
And the two young people, handsome and dignified, naturally attract attention wherever they go.
On this side, the ladies of the family gathered, and the girls looked at the scene in the banquet and whispered to each other.
Shen Qing had just returned from the apse and wanted to eat a few bites of food before going to the Empress Dowager to accompany her. As soon as she sat down, she heard a few people next to her say: "My uncle once went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to propose marriage, but unfortunately there were too many Prime Minister Bi at that time, and he didn't take people in his eyes at all." But now, their family is entangled in so many lawsuits, even if eight people carry a sedan chair to pick it up, my uncle is reluctant to marry his daughter. ”
"I can't say that, Bi Hanxi is now the sister-in-law of the queen's mother, and this relationship can overwhelm all lawsuits. I heard that even her mother in Xiping Mansion doesn't have to do hard labor, and it seems that it will be a matter of time before she is finally pardoned and brought back. ”
"It's really rare for this family to be like this, and the two brothers can still live in harmony." A young girl sighed, "Several brothers and brothers in our family almost didn't fight because of whether their father had a bowl of water." ”
Shen Qing silently ate a few mouthfuls of food, then put down the chopsticks, she got up and left the table, everyone else bowed to salute, in the support of the palace maids, she Shi Shiran came to the Empress Dowager, at this moment Mrs. Bi and Mrs. Ling are still there, Mrs. Bi is saying to the Empress Dowager: "Now everything in the family wants, the granddaughter can marry the general, it is really a great grace, the concubine will burn incense and worship the Buddha every day, pray for me, pray for the Empress Dowager and the mother." ”
The Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Go into the palace more and walk around, now you are relatives of the queen, that is, your own family." She said to Yiyan, "Your sister-in-law followed your brother away from home, and the queen will pay more attention to the affairs of the family in the future." ”
Ruyan smiled: "My grandson remembers." ”
The Empress Dowager said again: "By the way, old lady, is your eldest grandson not married yet?" ”
The old lady hurriedly said: "That child used to be the champion wholeheartedly, but now he wants to serve the emperor, and the concubine has talked to him several times about marriage, but he just said that he was too busy to have time." ”
The Empress Dowager smiled: "Today's young children are all like this, they are very stubborn, and they can't help it." I will let the queen pay attention to this matter, you can rest assured, there will be happy events when spring begins. ”
The old lady was overjoyed, and took Lian Yi to kowtow to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, and the Empress Dowager ordered Shen Qing to help the old lady up.
Ruyan sat aside, seeing Qing'er smiling softly at the old lady, she remembered the previous incident, at that time, in order for Bi Hanxi to marry Xiluo Kingdom, Qing'er ran everywhere, and now that the matter has passed, it is as if nothing has happened.
The queen looked away, searching for Bi Zhenye's traces below, and sure enough, she saw him sitting in the middle of the seat, her eyes were looking here, I don't know if she was worried about her grandmother and younger siblings, or if she was looking at someone else, the queen looked at him for a long time, but Bi Zhenye didn't notice it.
Later, the old lady and Lian Yi left, and they were replaced by the ladies and ladies of other families to speak, Shen Qing was still waiting by her aunt's grandmother's side, and the queen's eyes looked at Bi Zhenye again, and she met him to look here.
The queen picked up a glass of wine and took a sip gently, this thing is not easy to do.
