Chapter 17: A Good Day
Chapter 17: Good Days
Zhiyun sat upright in the first place, the snow leopard Yangyang, who had eaten enough outside, nested on her lap like a docile kitten, and Honghao also sat next to her obediently, with a straight face, very calm appearance, but a pair of eyes were dripping and turning, looking a little more lively than usual, and there was still a little bit of Yangyang's hair in his hand, which made Yangyang grin at him several times.
The women in the house are also rare to gather, as soon as Zhiyun looked up, she saw that everyone was wearing new clothes, dressed up dignified or delicate, even if the Song family and the Wu family, who were a little mediocre, were also graceful and bright under the red and glamorous lights, and had a unique charm, not to mention the already charming Li family.
When these women get together, they naturally have to gossip, and they have a good relationship together, talk about their parents, and the Li family has the highest status, sitting closest to Zhiyun.
She smiled happily, but seeing Zhiyun's face that had not changed for several years, still delicate and pink, even if it was a festive season, knowing that it shouldn't, there was still a sour feeling in her heart: "Hey, I don't know if there will be a few sisters in the house in the draft next year?" Our lord is now Prince Heshuo, and the concubine in the palace said that the heir of the lord is indeed a little thinner......"
The implication is that since Zhiyun entered the mansion, there has never been anyone around him, Zhiyun is not a virtuous person, there is a suspicion of deliberately blocking the heirs of the palace, and now Yinzhen has become a prince, the lords of the palace will definitely reward the newcomers, and when the time comes, this family is still not Zhiyun alone, it is really hard to say.
She said softly and vaguely on the side, but who were the people here, how could she not hear it, the atmosphere suddenly became a little tense, Zhiyun vaguely felt that there were several eyes secretly sweeping around her face, but she didn't say anything, just didn't hear it, and sat on the side to enjoy the 'Yanfu' while teasing the three little brothers, and Jingrou.
Hongyun is this year, he has been studying in the study for a few years, he is not smart, but he also knows that he is motivated, and he is not outstanding among the little brothers in the palace, but because he is fortunate to be gentle, respectful to his brother, and friendly to his younger brother, he is very praised by everyone.
Hongshi is different, he is only five years old this year, a villain like a bean, and he still has a year to go to the study to study, but he has become very creative, and in front of the elders, he will be coquettish and behaved, even the Tai, the eighth, and the fourteenth, also said that Yinzhen gave birth to a good child.
He also reads very well, because of his young age, he can't see it, but his body is much stronger than his brother, and his future achievements must be stronger than Hongyun, however, this child doesn't know who to learn from, with a sense of arrogance, it seems that no one looks at him, and he doesn't even have much respect for his own brother, but fortunately, he is still young, and Hongyun's sex is more generous, so that there is no brother discord.
Ergege Jingrou is fourteen this year, looks very similar to her mother, but her eyes are similar to her father, she is a rare beauty, the palace Concubine De Niangniang loves it very much, and she is often summoned, so she is also registered in front of Kangxi, and she is a little silent, but she is not stuffy, the female red feed is a good learner, and she is also good at calligraphy and painting.
Everyone talked for a while, and when it was time to hold the lamp, Zhiyun clapped his hands, and said a word in July, but in a moment, the entire Prince Yong's Mansion instantly lit up, and the lights were bright, and suddenly it was daylight.
Under the illumination of the lanterns and fireworks, Ouyang came back from the palace, sat beside Zhiyun, received the courtesy of everyone, and ordered the meal at will, today according to the rules to eat the Lantern Festival, Zhiyun and Ouyang did not love the Lantern Festival rewarded in the palace, it was too sweet and greasy, only a little dip, Ouyang ordered everyone to disperse to enjoy the lanterns, no need to be restrained.
Zhiyun sat on the side, looking at him with a straight face, his body was cold, and his eyebrows were full of anger, so frightened that Li, who wanted to take the opportunity to come over and say a few words, hesitated. was secretly happy, smiled and appeased a few little brothers who were also frightened by their father's black face, and asked July to take a beautiful and small golden carp-like marquee, and handed it to each of the children to play.
This marquee is made of gold leaf and pearl inlay, not only the pattern on it is very novel and interesting, the painting is the Q version of the little brother and the little Gege, or reading, or practicing martial arts, the one for Honghao, and even the image of a fluffy rabbit ear, while Jingrou is riding in a pumpkin-shaped carriage carved with beautiful patterns, flying in the sky.
All the lanterns, blown by the wind, those gold leaf tinkling, the sound is as crisp as a mountain spring, like a fairy music given by nature, all the children's hearts are attracted.
Hongyun and Hongshi, the two little boys who thought they had grown up and didn't like lanterns anymore, also held lanterns and couldn't put them down, running around with joy, for a while, even adults came to see frequently, and the house was full of laughter and laughter for a while.
Ouyang took Zhiyun's hand, didn't bring a subordinate, and sneaked out of the door, Zhiyun couldn't break free, and glanced at him helplessly, "The lights in the house are not worse than the outside, do you want to see, isn't it the same in the house?" ”
That being said, Zhiyun also wanted to go out for a walk, so she gave Grandma Cui a look, asked a few people to take care of Honghao more, and then patted Yangyang and let it stay, so that she obediently snuggled up to Ouyang and followed his footsteps.
As soon as he left the mansion, Ouyang took out two lanterns and stuffed one in Zhiyun's hand.
Zhiyun Wan'er, seeing that the lantern is not rough, but also ordinary, with the figures of Zhiyun and Ouyang painted in ink, under the reflection of the candle, the shadow is sufficient, not very clear, but there is a hazy sweet beauty, obviously Ouyang's own handwriting.
Zhiyun was happy in her heart, holding the lantern and Ouyang's lantern and gently colliding, but she laughed in her mouth: "Are you considered a white dragon fish suit?" In case I let the imperial history know that I will participate in your book, you will feel good at that time. ”
Ouyang raised his eyebrows, helped Zhiyun re-tie the ribbon on his cloak, and said with a smile: "Recently, the imperial historians have all pretended to be turtles with shrunken heads, and they are too idle, if they know about it, it is not a bad thing to give them some work to do." ”
Zhiyun snorted, laughed, and shook his head, the imperial historians of the Kangxi Dynasty are not easy to get along with, they often like to find some royal relatives, and even the emperor's small mistakes, take them out and criticize them fiercely, first, they are famous, and second, they can give Banzai and the nobles a good opportunity to show that they are humble-minded, can change their mistakes, and are generous-minded......
On the night of the capital during the Shangyuan Festival, all kinds of lanterns were hung all over the long street, although they were not as good as the red silk decoration in the palace, which was resplendent and brilliant, and those lanterns were not as exquisite and gorgeous as the mansion, but the lively atmosphere still made Zhiyun's mood tend to be dull, and it rose slightly. This bustling and lively ancient street market, bustling crowds, for them, is indeed no longer a dream, but a real life.
The two of them walked slowly hand in hand to the sound of firecrackers, occasionally buying two strange gadgets in front of the stall, and this couple walked hand in hand, so that they were no different from ordinary couples.
Zhiyun bought two sugar gourds and didn't eat them, but she just felt that the round, red, and hawthorn stained with rock sugar were dressed in a string, which was extremely festive and cute.
Occasionally, passing by men, women and children, looking at Zhiyun and Ouyang, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, and they are all smiling, very intimate, and thought that the two people were a young couple who had recently become married, and they all reciprocated with a kind smile, they found a small stall selling rice balls, and as a result, the boss of the family was in a good mood, and actually gave two bowls for free, and blessed the two of them with eyebrows, but Ouyang actually responded with a hippie smile, and said a lot of auspicious words, coaxing the stall owner to smile, three bowls of Lantern Festival, immediately doubled, to make Zhiyun cry and laugh -
Zhiyun himself won't say it, eighteen years old, maybe in the twenty-first century, it is still a fancy age, but in this Qing Dynasty, it is definitely not how young, if a girl of this age has not yet married or married, I am afraid she will not be able to get married, as for Ouyang, he is over thirty years old, and he is already a young man in this dynasty, so he still dares to pretend to be tender? If those court officials saw the childlike innocence of the cold-faced king they feared like a tiger and wolf, it is estimated that the coffin shop owner in the capital would be happy.
However, it's no wonder that others misunderstand, the two of them are too blessed, the years seem to have no way to take two people at all, so many years have passed, Zhiyun is still about the same as a fifteen-year-old girl, and Ouyang is the same, he looks only twenty-one or twelve years old, usually he has a straight face, and because the royal brothers are well maintained, his face is not very old, and others can't see the clues, but today, he is dressed in regular clothes, walking on the street, standing with ordinary people, it shows the difference.
After eating the Lantern Festival, Zhiyun wanted to find a teahouse to rest, although her physical strength was good, but after all, she was a spell caster, and she could not be compared with a strong warrior, and she would still be tired after walking for a long time.
Walked to the front of a teahouse, the whole teahouse from top to bottom, full of lanterns, there are many guests inside, obviously the tea is good, Zhiyun just wanted to light the building, but Ouyang stopped at the gate, looked at the couplets on both sides, and said with a smile: "This word is a little familiar." ”
Zhiyun looked at it through the light - Shanglian is 'high-fever red candles reflecting the long sky, bright, and the light spreads all over the ground. The lower link is: 'The low-point fireworks shook the earth, sounded, and the air soared to the sky. ’
Nodding, Zhiyun said: "Although I don't know how to get the couplet right, it's okay to appreciate it, this couplet is neat and seamless, it's a wonderful pair...... This character is also well written. "Seeing that the ink has not dried, it is obviously newly written, there are many talented people in the capital, but it is not something that can be encountered casually.
Seeing this, Xiao Er, who was standing next to him to greet the guests, immediately smiled happily: "Madame is really good eyesight, this is the newly written ...... in front of the small shop by Zhang Ying and Zhang Tingyu, two adults of the 'father and double bachelors'."
