Chapter 163: Shangyuan Gui Lantern
Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there has been a three-yuan festival.
Shangyuan, the fifteenth day of the first month; Zhongyuan, July 15; Xia Yuan, October 15.
The Sanyuan Festival is the birthday of the Sanguan Emperor, and the fifteenth day of the first month is the first yuan, and the Tianguan Emperor is sacrificed.
On the day of his birth, the Emperor of Heaven would ride the Nine Dragons chariot to travel through the green and earthly world, and sprinkle blessings and blessings to the world at will. According to legend, because the Nine Dragons fly too high, the Emperor of Heaven likes to drink, so he often can't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest, and often flies to the deep mountains and wild seas. So, the hard-working and kind people thought about it, and one day, someone hung a lamp on the eaves.
The lights shine in the night, the dragon sees it, thinks it is a pearl, and is overjoyed, and immediately comes with blessings.
Since then, every time there is a Yuan Festival, every household will hang lamps to welcome blessings.
Use firecrackers to drive away the fierce and stupid Nian beast, and finally wait for this festive day, and the Huating Liu family is jubilant. Early in the morning, Liu's made the laurel lantern in the middle building, which is a prayer lamp, flashy but not glamorous, the head of the lamp is a little tiger that she personally depicted, and the eight-sided lamp body is also embroidered with a happy little tiger, from the hand of Yang Shaoliu.
Ingenuity is also immersed in making laurel lanterns, preparing to hang them on the tallest ancient locust outside the courtyard. Of course, it was too high for her to climb up. For this reason, she smiled at Laifu, and Laifu suddenly went to two souls with three souls, and responded in a row.
Liuyan walked in with a small lantern, Liu looked at the cinnamon lantern he made, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and ordered Liuyan to take it to his son. Liuyan looked at the chubby little tiger on the laurel lantern, covered his mouth and sneered.
Liu was a little embarrassed, but more happy, and said with a smile: "When I was young, the tiger head was like this......"
All the maids looked at the chubby little tiger, and then compared with the little Langjun in their hearts, all of them blinked, and their expressions were incredible.
Liuyan carried the small tiger lantern to the east building, and when he turned the Nanmu corridor, he saw Luo Huan and Qu Ping chatting with their backs against the barricade, and a little farther away, the night breeze was carrying a lantern to usher in it.
Qu Ping glanced at the lantern in Ye Fu's hand, squeezed his eyes towards Luo Huan, and said with a smile: "In the past, Emperor Wu Yan's harem was full of fans, and Emperor Wu Yanxi took a sheep cart to the palace. There are palace maids who raised sheep when they were young, knowing that sheep like salty, so they used salty sauce branches, hung branches on the door, and splashed water on the ground, so as to lead the emperor to the emperor and get his wish and be favored. At this point, he asked quietly: "Now there are people holding the laurel lantern corridor, but I don't know who will be led?" After that, he looked at the courtyard outside the bar, but the corners of his mouth twitched towards the night.
Yefu was slightly stunned, turned around with a cinnamon lantern, and threw down a sentence: "It's strange, there is no grass by the stream, why donkey!" ”
"Ah, this ......" Qu Ping was speechless.
Luo Huan turned sideways, not daring to look at the night breeze.
Ye Fu quickly glanced at Luo Huan's waist, and saw a corner of incense sachet exposed on the edge of the thick palm, and the pretty maid smiled.
Liuyan smiled silently, carried the lantern to Luo Huan and Qu Ping Wanfu, and asked, "Xiao Lang Jun is here?" ”
Luo Huan withdrew his gaze chasing the back of the night breeze, looked at the room, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li just entered, it must be a while." ”
"Then, the servant will wait for a while."
Indoors, Liu Nong and Li Xun sat opposite each other.
Liu Nong said: "At the end of the year, it makes you travel thousands of miles back and forth, fortunately." As he spoke, he gave Li Xuan a deep snort.
Li Xuan's eyebrows were full of dust, how dare he be Xiao Langjun's courtesy, he avoided it sideways, and then wiped his face and said with a smile: "Li Xuan is alone, and he is traveling by water, and he is fast back and forth, what is the hard work?" Xiao Langjun must not kill Li Xuan! After a pause, he said: "The gift has been presented, Ji Shangshu is very happy, Wei's Li Xun also went, Wang Xizhilangjun is not in the mansion, and the gift is accepted." ”
Liu Nong handed over the tea bowl on the case and said with a smile: "Does Ji Shangshu have anything to say?" ”
Li Yu hesitantly took the tea bowl, touched it shallowly, and said: "After reading the letter, Shang Shu was speechless, but he smiled silently. ”
But laugh silently?
Liu Nong smiled slightly, and this time he gave Ji Zhan a hundred forging sword, a set of beast scale armor, and a letter and a thick stack of rolling papers.
And this stack of rolling paper is the various illegal actions of Zhang Fang that Li Yue collected in Wucheng. Originally, Liu Nong wanted to stay in the New Year, and went to Jiankang to visit Ji Zhan in person, but Ji Zhan was unexpectedly quick to deal with the earth, and if he didn't end the matter at this time, he was afraid that there would be another incident, so he could only order Li to rush to Jiankang at the same time.
Coming out of the room, carrying the lantern sent by Liuyan, walk along the corridor until you reach the middle building. The pothos twisted Xiaoman's waist and followed behind her, carrying a small lantern, with a charming smile on her face, and two tigers were painted on her lantern, one male and one female. Although it was ugly, and it was ridiculed by Moli like a pair of puppies, it was ......
In the middle building, Liu's and Yang Shaoliu are all there, and they are all red and happy. Broken Lake led more than ten maids such as Lannu, Ingenuity, and Yanhua to surround the two, and on the outside were the little maids in blue clothes and white skirts.
Outside the building, thousands of people waited, each carrying a lantern in his hand.
The white robe is like snow, and the green shirt is Zhuo.
Liu Nong handed the lantern in his hand to Laifu, Laifu shouted, walked to the tall wooden pillar, tied the lantern with a rope, slowly pulled the other end of the rope, the lamp slowly rose, and everyone's eyes looked up with the rising lantern.
When the night rises, the light will be the first to bloom.
……
Eight hundred miles of Jiankang, the winter snow has melted, and the early spring is gradually rising.
The white walls and black tiles are stacked like clouds, and when the cars are rolling and the horses are roaring, the pedestrians are like ants.
To the east of the city, Kizhan House.
Ji Zhan likes water, although the village is not big, but next to the half-pond lake, the green fence is reflected by the mirror lake, and a little ink painting is suddenly added. The people were hanging lanterns at the gate of the courtyard, and they saw the head of the house and the guests coming out together, and they avoided it in an orderly manner. In recent days, there have been many guests coming and going in the house, all of whom are people in purple clothes and jade crowns, and people have long been used to it.
Ji Zhan strode Diao Xie and Liu Kui to the crossing.
Diao Xie is from Rao'an Diao's family, is a medium gate valve family background, few good scriptures, well-read and strong memory, and Zhou Yi is the same as the left servant of Shangshu. Liu Kui is a descendant of the Liu family in Pengcheng, a member of the last scholar family, and is now a general of Zhenbei.
When Diao Xie was about to go up, he suddenly remembered something, turned to Ji Zhan again, and said solemnly: "Siyuan Gong, this matter is very important, and it must not be leaked, and I still hope to keep it silently." ”
Ji Zhan raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "Ji Zhan has never heard of this, so he doesn't know." ”
Diao Xie sighed: "The public is a righteous person, and now the Jin family is in danger, and the public is a Jin minister, why do you avoid it again and again?" If the public is willing to raise their arms and shout, presumably this matter will be decided. Saying that, his eyes showed an ardent light, he and Liu Kui came to visit Ji Zhan this time, hoping to pull Ji Zhan into the camp and impeach the Great Situ Wang Dao together.
"Diao Shangshu, Ji Zhan is old!" Ji Zhan hugged his fist, half and half arched.
"Old man, he is indeed old...... Liu Kui squinted at Ji Zhan, shook his head and sighed, he has always been very conceited, and he was willing to come to see Ji Zhan with Diao Xie, which was already a move to think that he was inferior, but Ji Zhan did not eat it softly and hard, and he was secretly angry.
Ji Zhan didn't look at Liu Kui, and said coldly: "When the time is Shangyuan, Ji Zhan still needs to go back to the house to pay tribute to the Emperor of Heaven, but the two of them are at their own convenience." As he spoke, he turned around and left, so angry that Liu Kui paused on the wheel, and shouted angrily: "An dare to be so, An dare to be like this......"
"Alas......"
Diao Xie looked at Ji Zhan's majestic back, sighed for a long time, and said suspiciously: "Now Siyuan Gong is ordered to control the soil break, I look at this earth break, it seems to be soft, but it is actually dangerous, how to choose between promotion and suppression?" Could it be that Wang Xie and Yuan Xiao have gathered at the table to discuss and negotiate the charter? ”
Liu Kui said coldly: "Zhou Boren hid in the meeting, and went to Jiankang with Xie Pei, presumably they had already finished their plan. The reason why Ji Zhan is in charge is nothing more than to make up his face. ”
Diao Xie nodded and said, "Yes, it should be so." However, Si Yuangong is not a sycophant, I expect that there must be a deep meaning in it. ”
Liu Kui looked at Diao Xie and said disapprerovingly: "But the soft knife cuts the meat, if the knife is soft and the bore is hard, it may probe the meat?" ”
"Alas, what Dalian said is very true. Now in Jin, if it is not for the solid source of the source, it will be difficult to save it! Let's go, the road is different, it's ......" Diao Xie looked at Ji's Zhuangyuan from afar, stroked his short beard, and got into the car.
The two of them were about to leave, but Ji Zhan came out again, stepped on the ox cart, and ordered the coachman to go to the Da Situ Mansion.
On the Shangyuan Festival, the city is crowded.
Driving in the sea of people, Ji Zhan held the side curtain and looked at the heavy triple palace wall in the distance, where it was the palace of the Jin family, but he saw that the eaves were like knives and axes, and they were like smoke and water. And the armor guarding the door, with a burning knife in his armor, has a slightly slow vision. Ji Zhan sighed, now the Jin room is like this guard guarding the door, it seems to be still glamorous, but in fact it is in decline.
The north is far away, and the east of the river is in chaos. Diao Xie is dedicated to serving Jin, and Liu Kui is just probing for fire and wood, although what the two of them did is beneficial to the Jin family, but in Ji Zhan's heart, both of them are too immature. It is a big joke to rely on the royal family to command the world's gate valves. Vertical son, difficult to find.
With a long exhale, the car had arrived at Da Situ's Mansion.
The vermilion lanterns are high and peachy, and the brocade cars come and go like flowing water, but they are all turned away without exception. Cai Mo, the waiter of the Chinese book, was about to turn around, suddenly saw Ji Zhan's car, hurried a few steps, waved his hands and said: "Cai Mo has seen the teacher, and the student is about to go to the teacher's house." ”
Ji Zhan glanced at the crowd outside the door and asked, "Why?" ”
Cai Mo is forty years old, and his position is not low, but the waiter is extremely filial, and said respectfully: "Back to the teacher, today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the students have come to visit Da Situ, and they don't want Da Situ to close the door to thank the guests." ”
Ji Zhan squinted his eyes and thought about it, although Diao Xie and Liu Kui have not yet officially impeached Director Wang, what kind of character Director Wang is, he must have already sniffed out the rumors, so he silently retreated. At that time, no matter how the two of them toss, the Wang family will not fall down, but will fall into a light name! Alas, the son of the jumping beam, how can he fight with the wild fox in the deep forest!
"Minister, I've seen His Highness......
"Minister, I've seen His Highness......
At this time, there was a burst of boiling voices from behind the car, and as soon as Ji Zhan looked back, he saw Sima Shao coming out of the curtain, and the Jin ministers who were turned away from the door on both sides bowed their respects. got out of the car, greeted Sima Shao, and was about to salute, but Sima Shao took a few quick steps, supported Ji Zhan, who had silver eyebrows and silver beard, and smiled kindly: "Ji Weng, why do you need to salute." ”
"Although Ji Zhan is old, however, the etiquette cannot be abolished!" Ji Zhan pressed Sima Shao's hand, and he was repeated.
Sima Shao glanced at the vermilion gate of the Great Situ Mansion and said with a smile: "Ji Weng has seen the Great Situ? ”
Ji Zhan said: "Not yet, I am about to go." ”
"Oh......"
Sima Shao raised his eyebrows and smiled, looked at the crowd left and right, and said with a smile: "Ji Weng, wait a minute." With that, he strode towards the gate of Situ Mansion.
The person guarding the door had already recognized Sima Shao and rushed into the interior to spread the word.
"Boom ......"
Less leaning, the Zhumen cave opened, and Wang Dao, who said that he was sick and thanking the guests, slowly stepped out with the support of Wang Xizhi...... (To be continued.) )
