Chapter 19: Parents in Yuanchun Province for the Lantern Festival; Poetry is favored (1)

It's good to say that it's been busy for a while, but it's not so busy for a while. Seeing that all the snowflakes have been sliced, there are still people coming and going in the Grand View Garden. Even the New Year's worship of ancestors seems to be a little sloppier than before. The New Year's dinner arrangement is also very messy, and the two families often bump into one place. Fortunately, there was no major mess. And outsiders also expressed their understanding, after all, there are big things at home.

After the eighth day of the first lunar month, some eunuchs in the palace came out to see the direction first: where to change clothes, where to sit, where to receive gifts, where to have a banquet, and where to retreat. There are also patrols of the local prime minister guarding the eunuchs, etc., bringing many small eunuchs out, guarding everywhere, blocking the fence, instructing the personnel of the Jia house where to retreat, where to kneel, where to eat, where to post, all kinds of rituals are different. Outside, there were officials from the Ministry of Industry and soldiers from the five cities to clean the streets and chase away idlers. Wait a minute, etiquette. The people of Jiafu have been busy for a year, and they have finally met people. In this way, in preparation, busy, anticipation, and anxiety, the fourteenth day of the first month has arrived.

That night, almost no one slept in Jiafu, and they watched the slightly mutilated moon one by one. I fantasize that tomorrow's moon will be round tonight. Baoyu was no exception, looking a little excited. A puffy cloud drifted by, and half of the moon was obscured from his face. It makes people look uncertain.

Hearing Daiyu beside him sigh lightly, he said distractedly: "Sister, what did you think of when I saw this moon?" ”

"What did you think, how do I know."

"That's right," he said, pointing to the air, "and it's cloudy, just like me, I don't feel like I'm two people, and sometimes, I don't know what I've done." No wonder the old lady said I had a stupid root. ”

"You are the only one who can listen to these words as good words."

"What's the solution, that's what I am." Hearing Daiyu snort, Baoyu didn't care, "It's not early, or my sister will go to rest, I won't be busy tomorrow." You are weak, where can you stand it? ”

"Girl, Second Master Bao is right, why don't you go and rest for a while?" Zijuan is really interested in Daiyu, which shows Jia's mother's eyesight. The day was a little cold, standing in the yard, Daiyu really couldn't stand it, and after listening to Zijuan's words, she ignored Baoyu and went back to her house. Baoyu was happy when he saw it, as long as Daiyu was fine, then he would be happy, and it was a trivial matter to ignore himself or not at the moment.

Xiaoben's heart was relieved, and he was really afraid that the two would continue to talk. It's been a long time since I've been resting, and Fang Caibaoyu's sentence almost scared my soul away, I have a soul? But I look forward to tomorrow night more than anyone else. You know, if you want to make a difference, Yuan Chun's support is indispensable. If she says a word, Jia Zheng can be relieved, otherwise she will take an extreme path and will have to be beaten to death by Jia Zheng. It's hard not to shave off his troubled sideburns.

On the fifth watch, Jia Mu and others began to dress up. The furniture is a large uniform. Ben looked at it and shook his head secretly. When is this time? As is customary, it was the second half of the night. What are you anxious about? No, didn't the eunuch say the time when he came out to inspect? Didn't you give a reward? It shouldn't be. Or the eunuch doesn't know when he will come out, after all, he will not be able to do it until the emperor is happy.

Fortunately, a eunuch in fresh clothes and angry horses sent a letter, Yuan Chun did not have dinner at the first moment, and went to Baoling Palace to worship the Buddha at the second moment. Sister Feng listened and hurriedly sent Jia Mu and the others back to rest, and went everywhere to be busy, and she didn't forget to let the eunuch take the eunuch to eat.

At about half past six in the evening, Jia Mu led everyone to wait at the door again. Jia Jing and the others were greeted at the corner of the street. All the figures are bowed down to show respect for the imperial power. At this time, it was another hour, about half past seven, and a dozen eunuchs ran to clap their hands angrily, waiting here for a meeting, knowing that this was coming soon. After another fifteen minutes or so, I saw the vanguard, two red-clothed eunuchs, and then two, just like that, one pair after another, and there could be a dozen pairs.

The dozen or so pairs of red-clothed eunuchs stood up, and the sound of drums was heard. A pair of dragons and phoenixes, pheasant feathers, and a gold furnace burning incense; Then a crank Qifeng golden umbrella came over, which was the crown robe with shoes. There are also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargles, dusting and so on. After the team passed, there were eight eunuchs behind who carried a gold-topped golden embroidered phoenix version and walked slowly. The squinted little Ben saw it and sighed in his heart, "This is really: go home at eight o'clock and leave at two o'clock, prepare for a year, and do everything you can!" If you don't use it well, you're really losing money, and it's not a small business that you're used to.

When Jia Mu and the others saw coming, they hurriedly knelt down on the side of the road. A few eunuchs flew over in the morning and helped Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing, and Mrs. Wang. Then the eight eunuchs carried Dahe directly into the gate. If you think about it like this, you can't see it.

Let's talk about Yuan Chun, after the eunuch retreats, Zhao Rong and Cai Concubine lead Yuan Chun down. After entering the room and changing clothes and coming out, I went on and went to the park again. When I saw the luxury in the garden, I couldn't help but sigh secretly. You must know that Yuan Chun is not Jia Zheng, so she naturally knows it in her heart. There are a number of silver taels allocated by the royal family, and the rest is afraid that it is added by the family. In this way, the interest of the tour is reduced. I put all my energy into the plaque.

After symbolically changing the names of several places, the eunuch asked for a seat, and Yuan Chun was saluted. All are exempt. After the ceremony, he changed his clothes again and drove out of the park in a provincial car. to Jia's mother's main room. After the national ceremony was over, Yuan Chun wanted to perform a family ceremony, and Jia's mother and others knelt down. It is completely a half-courtesy to see each other, and a full courtesy to return each other.

watched Jia Zheng go in, and then Aunt Xue, Baochai and Daiyu all went in. Ben knew that it was going to be his turn soon. Why do you say yourself again? didn't have time to slow down, so a ceremonial eunuch led him in, his expression relaxed, he was not familiar with etiquette, and the issue of national etiquette was better left to Baoyu. Jumping over the bead curtain, this time you have to make your own decisions, and it is not in vain to recuperate. At the moment, he bowed his knees, called his sister, and before he could say a word, Yuan Chun had already tears in his eyes, and he held it in his arms.

For Yuan Chun, Xiao Ben has a different kind of respect. Speaking of which, what she did was really good enough, to paraphrase Baochai's words about Baoyu, 'There is no good brother and good brother to be Yang Guozhong!' One sentence expresses Yuan Chun's sorrow, and his help outside the palace does not come from his own family, but from his elderly uncle Wang Ziteng.

Yuan Chun was like this, and Baoyu felt sad. Anyway, he's not a heartless person. It's inevitable to lose his mind when he's sad like this, but this gives Xiaoben more opportunities to try to suppress the body. so that I can talk to Yuan Chun more. At this moment, You Shi, Sister Feng and others came up and said: "The banquet is complete, please have a good time." ”

There is Baoyu on the side, Yuan Chun ordered Baoyu to guide, and then walked to the front of the garden gate with everyone, first starting from "there is a phoenix to come", and then "red fragrant green jade", "apricot curtain in sight", "Zhi Zhi Qingfen" and so on everywhere. I have to say that accompanied by Baoyu, Yuan Chun's interest was a lot stronger.

And Xiaoben is also ready, he will not wait for Yuan Chun to go back and write down the name he wants to change, then it will be troublesome to change it, he doesn't have the talent of Daiyu, and he will change the name of a poem. So after waiting for Youfeng Laiyi (Xiaoxiang Pavilion) and arriving at the red fragrant green jade (Yihong Courtyard), he helped Yuan Chun to stop and said, "Sister, can you look at the plaque here?" "There is no one on the left and right, so naturally my sister is close, not to mention that this is still from the heart.
