1744 Folk Customs(4)
The empress dowager's original sullenness in her heart suddenly rose to five points, but today's scene is really not good, she turned her head to look at Jing Moxi, Jing Moxi was in a daze, and she didn't see her gaze at all.
The Empress Dowager said a little unhappily: "What are you thinking?" ”
Jing Moxi came back to her senses after hearing the voice of the Empress Dowager, and she said softly: "I didn't think about anything." ”
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head slightly with a weak heart, and did not look at the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager's eyes were a little unhappy, but she said, "Why do you always look like you don't keep up today?" Is it really okay? ”
"Maybe I didn't rest last night!" Jing Moxi said lightly: "Last night, I read the scriptures to Hou Ye all night. ”
The Empress Dowager saw that she was a little stunned, and knew that the Marquis of Jinyang was a thorn in her heart, and she had persuaded Jing Moxi more than a hundred times about that matter, but she also knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she just sighed lightly at the moment, and did not persuade again and again.
What she didn't see was the complexity and struggle when Jing Moxi lowered her head.
Lan Tiantian and Jing Ye were talking, and they didn't care about the appearance of the mother and daughter.
Because of the large number of people today, the table was very large, and the palace maids and eunuchs had already brought those meals.
The dishes are so delicate that it's just a luncheon at this time, and it's even more sumptuous when it's time for dinner.
And on the side of those meals, there were some melons and fruits, which were also served along with the dishes at this time.
Lan Tiantian couldn't help but smile faintly when she saw those melons and fruits, knowing that this was the rule of the royal family, those melons and fruits were the so-called cold dishes, but they were also appetizing, but whether those things had an appetizing effect or not, she didn't know.
Jing Ye said with a smile: "The custom of the New Year, in the final analysis, comes from the folk, and the New Year in the palace is also a little particular about those tricks, and it is a little particular about setting off a cannon or something, but because of this exquisiteness, this year has also lost some New Year's flavor, pouring, you are from the folk, I want to come to the folk New Year will be more interesting, right?" ”
"Okay." Lan Tian said with a smile: "The common people are lucky and happy for the New Year, but when it comes to the happiest children, because in addition to having new clothes and new shoes to wear, those people who are not very good will prepare chickens, fish, melons and fruits on the day of the New Year. This makes it even more relevant. ”
Although Lanfu was only a flat-headed common man before, his family has always been wealthy, and Lanfu was originally engaged in the weaving business, so there is never a shortage of new clothes on weekdays, and the materials and styles are the best in the entire Shaocheng.
The way she said to celebrate the New Year was something she saw at the homes of the villagers in the countryside.
In the early years, the taxes of the court were too heavy, and the lives of the people were a little hard.
I think it has been a lot better in the past few years, but the Chinese New Year is a big thing for ordinary people after all, so it must be a lot more particular about food and clothing than in previous years.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Tilt has also spent two years in the imperial family, and no one knows the difference better than you, right?" ”
