Chapter 19 Dragon Boat Festival (Lantern Festival)
This morning, I saw my grandmother and mother wearing five-colored ropes, and I saw Mei'er picking dumpling leaves. Only then did I know that the Dragon Boat Festival had arrived.
Mother: "An'er, come and see if my five-color rope is suitable." An'er stretched out her hand, and her mother put the five-color rope on An'er's wrist.
An'er: "Mother, this five-color rope is really beautiful." The mother gestured a few times and tied the rope around An'er's wrist.
Grandmother: "I think it's the Dragon Boat Festival, this day of reunion, but I don't know if Qi'er is doing well." ”
Mother: "Mother, you don't have to worry too much, she will be fine in the palace." ”
Grandmother: "Ugh. ”
An'er: "By the way, grandmother, why didn't you see my grandfather and father come back?" ”
Grandmother: "At this time of year, officials are allowed to go home to visit, but I heard that this year is different, and I heard that Emperor Wu summoned the vassal kings of all the tribes to return to the palace, saying that it was a reunion and gossip. ”
An'er: "But this, what does it have to do with the Imperial Medical Department?" ”
Grandmother: "In order to prevent problems at the banquet, it is natural to let the imperial doctors guard the back, by the way, this morning the people from Shangshu Mansion came to spread the word, saying that we should come over." ”
Mother: "Yes, mother. Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, I will take the children back, and this year, mother, you can go with us. ”
Grandmother: "Me? ”
An'er: "Grandmother, you can go with us, grandpa and father are not at home, it is not safe to leave you alone, so promise An'er..."
So An'er's grandmother, mother-in-law, and brother Feng'er, the four of them came to Shangshu Mansion in a sedan chair. Sure enough, Shangshu Mansion is magnificent, hanging on the red light door, and the festive atmosphere is strong.
The four of them got off the sedan chair, and Uncle Xiao Zhuoxiao personally stepped forward to greet them.
Old Madam Han: "I'm really bothering you. ”
Xiao Zhuo: "In that case, Lord Shangshu ordered me to pick up your old man personally, and I am not at ease if I change someone else, come in, Lord Shangshu has been waiting for everyone for a long time." ”
Old Madam Han: "Okay, good. An'er and her mother helped the old lady and walked in.
Lord Shangshu and Mrs. Shangshu saw the four of them come in and got up to greet them from a distance.
Yuan Shangshu: "I haven't seen my old in-laws for a long time, but my body is still tough. ”
Mrs. Han: "I'm getting older, and my body is not as good as before." With that, they sat down.
Yuan Shangshu: "Yes, I prepared a family banquet, and I also asked my in-laws not to dislike it." ”
Old Madam Han: "In that case, Lord Shangshu is polite." ”
I heard someone trotting in in a hurry, and I saw that it was Yuan Song.
Yuan Shangshu: "Hey, why did you come back from your father's palace?" ”
Yuan Song: "That's the case, most of the kings of the previous dynasty have returned to Beijing, and my father has sent more people, as for us with little qualifications, we came back, and it happened that my aunt and their family came back, and my father said that I should accompany them well." ”
Yuan Shangshu: "That's the case, it just so happens that you are back, and I heard that there is a lantern festival at night, so you can take An'er and Feng'er to go shopping." ”
Yuan Song: "Yes, grandfather. He smiled at An'er.
Yuan Shangshu: "Madam, have a banquet." ”
After that, everyone moved to the lobby, only to see that each of the people had food in their hands, and put it on the table in an orderly manner, and suddenly the fragrance wafted in, and the meal was very rich.
Everyone is seated.
Yuan Shangshu: "An'er, try this zongzi, it is as delicious as your Han family." ”
An'er reached out and took one and opened the dumpling leaves.
An'er: "Grandpa's dumplings are so fragrant." She took a small bite with a satisfied look on her face.
An'er: "Grandpa's dumplings are so delicious." ”
Yuan Shangshu: "Haha, you can also taste the wind." ”
Feng'er also tasted one.
Feng'er: "It's delicious. ”
Everyone was very happy to finish the family banquet, and Song'er took An'er and Feng'er to the Lantern Festival.
The lantern festival of the Dragon Boat Festival is a picture of reunion and blessing, and the street is full of lights, like a long dragon.
An'er: "The lights on this street are very beautiful. ”
Song'er: "Yes, the lights here are lined up like dragons, praying for peace. Saying that, Song'er walked to a stall, bought a rabbit-shaped portable lamp, and gave it to An'er.
Song'er: "I've given it to you." ”
An'er looked at him happily: "Thank you, Brother Song, this lamp is so beautiful." And Feng'er was staring at Song'er on the side.
Feng'er: "An'er, if you like my brother, I'll buy it for you." He said with jealousy.
Song'er: "I am also An'er's brother, you come to me, you should do your best as a landlord, and I will naturally satisfy you with whatever you want." ”
Feng'er: "Yes, then I want this lamp too." ”
Song'er: "Okay. After that, Song'er bought the same rabbit lantern and gave it to Feng'er.
An'er: "Brother, what are you doing here?" ”
Song'er: "Let's go, there's still something ahead, let's take a look." ”
After that, the three of them continued to walk forward, and suddenly there was the sound of galloping horses and fighting on the calm street, Song'er felt wrong, so she took Feng'er and An'er to hide.
I saw two people galloping in front on horseback, and there were officers and soldiers chasing after them, and the people on the street were very frightened, and they put down their things and ran wildly, and the scene was very chaotic.
An'er and Feng'er were separated from them.
Song'er grabbed the wind and walked through the crowd until he saw the archer and shot an arrow. A man in front of him was shot and fell out of the carriage. The people were still hiding without a clue, only to see another person dismount, hold the wounded man, and flee.
At this time, I heard the officers and soldiers say: "According to Your Majesty's instructions, this person must not leave a living mouth." With that, he rode across, and the street was quiet for a while.
That's when they came to their senses.
Feng'er: "It's broken, where is my sister?" He said anxiously.
Song'er: "It's broken, Xu is just gone." ”
Feng'er: "Then what can I do, I don't know who was chased and killed just now?" I'm afraid An'er is in danger. ”
Song'er: "I think I've seen it somewhere." He recalled the scene when he was on duty at the Xuanwu Gate with his father, and vaguely remembered that this person was very much like a certain vassal king who came to the palace for a banquet.
Song'er: "That's it, let's split up and look for it." ”
Feng'er: "Okay. After that, the two went their separate ways to find An'er.
An'er, who was scattered by the crowd, where did she go?
