Princess Qi got up and went to the main hall.

The children are playing and playing, and the cucumbers sent to the palace should be treated as an important matter.

The cucumbers in winter are too precious, and there are poems such as "the white endive cucumber is scarce on the market, and there is a bright light on the plate" to describe the scarcity of cucumbers on the market. That's a full twenty pounds, which is enough for most of the basket.

Rong He told them: "Five or six crops can be harvested in one season, and the largest harvest is just in time for the eve of the Shangyuan Festival." ”

On the day of the Shangyuan Festival, Princess Wenyang planned to hold a flower-viewing banquet to invite the noblewomen and celebrities who were good friends with her, and thank them for their previous response to the call, donating money and food, and helping the homeless.

Rong He plans to take melons, fruits and vegetables to the princess's mansion to set up a stall, ten taels and one small basket, self-help purchase, as long as the sales channel is opened in the noble circle, this small shed of fruits and vegetables will soon be sold out.

set up a stall in the princess's mansion to sell vegetables, and dared to sell ten taels of silver a basket! King Qi couldn't imagine that picture.

Rong He added: "My aunt agreed. ”

King Qi thought about Wen Yang's unstingy temperament, but it was not impossible, so he shook his hand and went with them, anyway, Huo Huo's was not his own mansion.

In the afternoon, Princess Qi's mother, Mrs. Gao and her sister Xiao Gao entered the house to visit, and Princess Qi retired from the palace and talked to her family behind closed doors.

The palace maid served a plate of cucumbers again, and the two of them were very bad.

"Why are there cucumbers at this time? Where was the tribute? ”

When Princess Qi revealed the origin of the cucumber, Gao took her hand and said, "I told you a long time ago that the prince of the world is a conscientious child, and he should have come over and raise him under his knees at that time." ”

"Mother, it's always separated from the belly, how to raise it," Xiao Gao said in a low voice, "Actually, it's nothing like this now, even if he becomes the Jade Emperor, he still has to respect his mother, right?" The top priority is how to make the little sister pregnant with a child, and Princess Nayong is still pregnant when she is old? ”

The princes and princesses are all selected from the people, Xiao Gao has not read any books, and his words are vulgar and direct, and Princess Qi frowns frequently when she hears it.

"Don't talk about any kid in front of me!" She said.

"What is the spine, why do you dare to talk nonsense!" Gao also scolded his eldest daughter in a low voice.

"Did I say something wrong?" Xiao Gao still insisted: "If you want me to say, children are more reliable than men, and my little sister is too reserved on weekdays, so I simply give him some ...... in that regard."

"Presumptuous!" Gao scolded sharply: "Are you tired of being alive!" ”

She actually encouraged her sister to drug King Qi!

Gao took the eldest daughter to the outer room and held the younger daughter's hand: "Daughter, you are the princess and concubine, and it is right to be dignified and reserved." To respect and love each other with His Royal Highness King Qi, don't listen to your sister's nonsense, as long as we have a clear conscience, no matter whose belly the son comes out of, we will always respect you as a mother. ”

Princess Qi smiled bitterly and nodded.

"Tomorrow is going to visit the palace, you should rest early, I will not bring your sister to the palace in the future, it's just nonsense!"

Gao was worried that his eldest daughter would cause disaster, so he took his leave early.

After her mother and sister left, Princess Qi cried silently. King Qi still respects her, and spends most of the month in her dormitory, but he "has more than enough heart but not enough strength", what can she do?

……

This is the first lively New Year since the Shen family came out of service.

There was snow floating outside the house, and there was intermittent firecrackers in the alleys and streets.

Huaiming took his younger siblings to his grandmother and elders to greet the New Year, and Huai'an also added a new amount of money.

Huai'an is next to her grandmother, and Sister Peng is next to Huai'an. The children were allowed to drink a little fruit wine today, but unfortunately the amount of wine in Huai'an was very poor, and they were a little confused after only a few sips. Huai Ming put away his wine glass and exclaimed, "Let you take a sip, how can you really drink it?" ”

Huai'an smirked.

"Really drunk?" Huai Ming was startled and tested the temperature of his forehead with the back of his hand.

"Lie to you!" Huai'an said with a smile.

Grandmother Chen poked his head: "Narrow ghost." ”

The family watched around the fireplace, Sister Peng's eyelids fought, and she fell asleep in her father's arms after a while, her fleshy little face was pillowed on Shen Yu's arms, her eyes were closed, her breathing was even, and she was a clump of naïve.

Sitting bored, Huai Ying proposed: "Let's play the tooth card order, shall we?" ”

The whole family had no objections, and they fell into the arms of their grandmother when they were drunk.

Chen patted him on the back and soothed: "Something to pass the time, a few words nonsense." ”

The tooth card is taken up, a bit like the pai gow of later generations, with a total of 21 cards, each with a different number of red and green dots.

Huai Wei became the commander, the rules are very simple, the commander turns over three cards, and the executor says a poem or idiom according to the shape of the card, and the three make up a pair, and then say a poem or idiom or idiom, or pictogram, or rhyme, or homonym.

Compared with the pagoda words that Huaiyuan plays on weekdays, it is much simpler, and what tests it more is imagination.

But I saw Huai Wei open a card first, which was a "person" card: "Four or eight points on the left." ”

Huai Ming replied: "Eight horses travel 30,000 miles a day. ”

Huai Wei flipped out another tall leg seven and said, "The middle is out of the mountains." ”

Huai Ming replied: "The lonely sail comes by the sun." ”

Huai Wei flipped through the third sheet: "On the right is a big long five." ”

Huai Ming replied: "The plum blossoms fall away from people's suffering." ”

Huaiwei made a pair of three kongs, half red and half green. Her voice rose slightly: "Make up a garden full of spring." ”

Huai Ming also raised his voice slightly: "Half Jiang is sorrowful and half Jiang Hong." ”

"Good!" The house applauded it.

Chen added: "Sister Wei'er, this is also good!" ”

The corners of Huaiwei's mouth rose and she smiled smugly.

It was Huaiying's turn to answer.

Huai Wei opened one first: "On the left is a person." ”

Huaiying smiled with Yingying: "At this time, the scenery is sad. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the room was silent, Shen Yu frowned slightly, and Ji's face changed suddenly, and the tea cup slammed on the table.

Xu Tinglan held her wrist and reminded her that such a big girl wants to save face the most, and it is the New Year, don't have a seizure in front of so many people, and wait until tomorrow.

Huai'an asked, "What's wrong?" Go on......"

was covered by the big brother.

Huaiying's face turned pale, because the poem she blurted out came from the book she had quietly read on the way to Beijing, "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber".

Although Huai Wei didn't understand what was going on, looking at the reaction of the elders, she guessed that it was not a good source, and she couldn't help but worry about her sister.

Fortunately, the elders of the room did not mean to investigate on the spot, and Huaiying sat back in the chair, a little at a loss.

Huai'an's dark eyes looked east and west, the atmosphere was wrong, there were obviously melons!

Chen smiled and said, "Huai'an will answer for my sister." ”

Huai'an: "......"

Eat melons and eat on your own head.

Grandmother said this, and Huaiwei had no choice but to continue the flop: "Three or four on the right add seven." ”

When Huai'an heard it, it was a seven-card card, with three points of green connected in a zigzag, and four red dots gathered together.

He was still a little quick: "A green branch among thousands of flowers." ”

Huai Wei looked at him helplessly with a smile in her eyes, okay.

So he flipped another card: "The middle five are like falling flowers." ”

A little red and five green, Huai'an will meet again: "A flower in the green bush." ”

The room burst into laughter.

"A branch of green among ten thousand flowers, a branch of flower among ten thousand green bushes." Huaiyuan smiled: "Is this okay?" ”

Huai'an didn't care, but asked: "You just said that it doesn't rhyme, and the image doesn't have a pictogram, right?" ”

"It's both rhyming and pictographic," Chen coaxed, "Huai'an answered well." ”

Huai Weiyin smiled: "Grandmother, don't be in a hurry to praise, there is one last sentence." ”

"Okay, good, quiet and quiet, all obey the commander." Chan pretended to be serious, and the room was quiet.

I saw Huaiwei put together three cards into a deck, and said: "If you make it, it will be a roadblock." ”

The green part resembles a mountain, and the red card part resembles a tiger, which is also a pictogram.

Before Huai'an could speak, Sister Peng suddenly jumped down from her father and replied, "Wu Song went up the mountain to fight tigers!" ”

She had already woken up, and she couldn't sleep because of the noise of this group of boring people.

The whole family was stunned at first, and then the whole house applauded.

Although the children's words are naïve, Sister Peng actually understands the rules of the game in one question and one answer, which shows that she is a very smart child.

Shen Yu was already drunk, and when he thought that he was about to go down in history as a "talented girl and her father" in the future, he excitedly hugged Sister Peng in his arms, patted his thighs and laughed.

Xie Yankai also once boasted to him that he had a daughter who was more talented than Xie Daoyun - what a joke, "Xie Daoyun" is obviously in my house!

Xu Tinglan: "......"

She looked at her husband in a daze, she had never seen him smile like this even in the high school entrance examination...... It's funny, but it's not going to laugh, right?

In the midst of laughter, the "little commander" Huai Wei announced: "Huai'an and Sister Peng are both the top names!" ”

It just so happened that this year was the Year of the Tiger, and Chen took out the colorful head prepared in advance - the little golden tiger on his wrist, which every grandchild has.

When Huai'an didn't survive in the end, he was next to the stove and dozed off with his eldest brother.

When I woke up again, Sister Peng had been carried back to the house to sleep, my brothers and sisters were still peeling oranges and chatting, the second uncle and aunt were still there, and my father and mother were gone.

Huai'an was sleepy, and saw his mother come out of the inner room.

The mother-in-law wears a five-grade pleasant life woman auspicious dress, a cloud shoulder sleeve robe, a gold thread beam crown, a phoenix hairpin pick card, a green leaf bead flower, two temples with gold sideburns, and a gold lantern earring. Dignified and beautiful, with a good step.

The father followed behind his mother, wearing a cyan official uniform with a round neck and wide sleeves, a crown and a belt, soap boots and silk socks, and the birds on his clothes climbed to the clouds, fluttering his wings.

Huai'an was stunned, with her mouth slightly open, what a pair of peerless beauties!

On the New Year's Day, the official should give the emperor a table as usual, enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings, order the wife to give the queen a New Year's greeting, the emperor to give a banquet, and sacrifice heaven and earth, worship the Taimiao, a lot of red tape, so busy.
