519, the sixteenth day of the first month
The Chinese New Year is naturally a bustling group, and the Wen family is no exception.
Apart from helping his mother with the account, Xizi spent the rest of his time painting. He drew from morning to night, and he enjoyed it.
On New Year's Eve, Xizi received a couplet sent by Xiaoxiao. It turned out to be written by Shanren Mian. Xizi cherished it so much that she naturally couldn't bear to hang it. She planned to open the market after the New Year, so she went to the calligraphy and painting shop to frame the couplet.
Wen Xixiu also came to see it and gave the evaluation: "There are many geeks playing in the sea, and the vast ocean is unrestrained, which is definitely not the work of ordinary people."
Xizi was copying the calligraphy today. Wen Xixiu saw it and couldn't help but praise him: "The God of Progress."
"I only heard that writing and painting can grow together, so I practiced it together." Xizi smiled slightly.
Wen Xixiu looked at her sister's calm expression that was different from the past, and her mood was a little complicated: "After the New Year, the Cao family will hold a plum blossom banquet, and Wan'er will go and relax."
Xizi nodded: "I have received a letter for a long time. I heard that the Cao family has an ancient plum garden. Every plum blossom there can be painted in it, so I naturally have to go and enjoy it."
"I just heard that Miss Dan Tai brought a new and fashionable chess and card games in the palace." Wen Xixiu smelled the fragrance in the room, and felt that the smell was a bit too heavy, so he ordered the girl to add some osmanthus flowers to it.
"I always feel that those games are all the same routine, and it will be meaningless to play a few times." Xizi held his chin and looked at his brother, "I heard that the ** guys in the first lunar month are going to get together. I really look forward to that day, so will the fourth brother."
Wen Xixiu was suddenly stopped by her sister, and at this moment he had to smile and nodded lightly.
After a while, Wen Xidian also strode in to see his sister: "My sister-in-law has been back for several days, and I haven't seen you come to accompany her."
Xizi smiled and said, "It's enough to be with her second sister-in-law. Now that she has a body again, she has to seek scriptures from her sister-in-law in all aspects."
Wen Xidian thought about this, and he was just thinking about his sister going out to relax. Who knew the other person's little principles? Seeing his kindness, he walked slowly in the room with his hands behind his back: "Is Wan'er fat?"
"What?!" Xizi's reaction was indeed very strong.
Wen Xixiu also nodded: "It's not very obvious, only acquaintances can see it."
Wen Xidian said: "It was probably because I lost too much weight a few days ago, and now I have made up for it. If I don't walk around more, I'm afraid I will gain another five pounds during the New Year. I will be surprised when I weigh it on the seventh day of the lunar month."
Xizi stood up and said, "Or, I'll go to my sister-in-law's place too. It's not good for cats to stay in the house in the winter."
The two brothers laughed secretly, and then heard the sister ask, "Did the third brother go to Cao's house at 26? It's said that he is enjoying the plum blossoms."
"I heard it's an ancient garden, but it's a reward," Wen Xidian frowned slightly, "If there are too many people to invite, it's too messy, I won't plan to go."
Xizi thought for a while and said, "They are all merchants. It's not that coincidence that that person would chase him there."
Wen Xidian raised his eyebrows: "The Cao family has a concubine who has been sent out. Maybe for the show of this banquet, some people will be invited to the audience."
Wen Xixiu said nothing for a while, and finally said, "After these two or three years, that person should grow up, and he will never be a childish temper for the rest of his life."
Xizi looked at his third brother, but saw the other party whistle: "I'm afraid I can't help but go to the flower banquet. Since the fourth brother opened the butcher shop to the Tang family, my mother has urged me in my ear every day... saying that the fourth brother walked in front of me and was not good-looking in terms of appearance."
The fourth brother walked up to you - this sounds really awkward, it's the New Year.
When Wen Xixiu heard the words of opening a butcher shop, she was afraid that the topic would come back to him, so she went out and said she wanted to see how she was preparing for tomorrow's ancestor worship...
...
From the first day of the lunar month to the fifteenth day of the year, everyone kept eating, drinking and having fun, but some people always felt lonely - the people they wanted to meet were not seen - Xiaoxiao missed the smart electronic products of the last century for the first time.
Finally, it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, and the latest batch of shops in Kyoto were also opened. Xiaoxiao went to the magazine himself and lit the first string of firecrackers. With the crackling sound, he prayed that the business in the new year would be prosperous.
After the annual meeting, the work began in an orderly manner. At noon, Meng Qi came again and raised many questions about the new Civil and Information Bureau model. Xiaoxiao spent the afternoon to help him solve it.
I was busy waiting for the night to come. Today I agreed with my family to have lunch and watch the lanterns with my friends. Maybe I had to stay up all night.
The parents didn't say anything, and when their daughter went out, Qifan said to Shanniang: "I've inquired, it's Wen Si."
Shan Niang smiled slightly: "That child is clean and comfortable to look at, and it matches our family's smile."
Qifan couldn't help but frown: "I want to see it clearly when I go to the plum blossom banquet of Cao's family."
Shan Niang burst into laughter: "When you have enough of it."
"What I said seems to be a sure thing." Qifan was extremely dissatisfied with his wife's answer.
Shan Niang and Ci Gu just laughed, and didn't say anything.
Qifan couldn't forget the result he found: the girl once rode a horse with Mr. Wen...
Who else could it be if it weren't for this kid? He was very brave!
"I always feel that Xiaoxiao is still a child." Qifan felt pitiful again in a flash.
"It will be in half a year." Shan Niang said gently.
"It's true that flowing light can easily throw people away..."
...
The place where everyone enjoys the moon is set at Xingwen Lake. Anyway, with the Lord of Tang Island, I will always arrange the most suitable pleasure boat for everyone.
Xiaoxiao was the first to be taken by Tang Lihuan from the magazine. At this moment, the brother and sister were eating melon seeds boredly. After a while, they heard the lively voice and saw his friend Ye Huan coming and said, "Master, Miss Wei, Miss Dan Tai, the young master of the Wen family and the young master of the Wen family have arrived, and there is also a young master Ning."
"Huh, they seemed to have made an appointment!" Xiaoxiao wiped his hands with a veil, stood up and tidied up his cloak, and then quickly walked towards the side of the pleasure boat.
Before I saw anyone, I heard Dan Tai Furong's loud voice: "When did the Lord Tang Island become so stingy? I thought I wanted to invite us to his Fusheng Island!"
Tang Lihuan's voice was also very loud, and it reached the lower level through the deck: "Although it is spring, the weather is cold and cold. Fusheng Island is big and cold. The people are afraid that the prospective princess will be damaged by the freezing!"
Sure enough, when Dan Tai Furong was the first to walk up, she pulled Xiaoxiao and looked around as soon as she met, praising her headdress for a while and praised her cloak for a good look. After a while, she asked the owner of Tang Island: "What's the name of our ship?"
Tang Lihuan bowed and said some praises like the gloriousness of the turquoise, before he expressed the name of the pleasure boat: "The man and the moon are full."
Before he finished speaking, someone exclaimed: "Good name!"
The person who said this was King Ning. Tang Lihuan and Xiaoxiao wanted to pay homage to the prince, but were stopped by King Ning: "Why do you need to be polite when you get together with friends!"
Tang Lihuan smiled and said, "I have heard that the prince has gotten a good bow and arrow, and everyone is planning to see the style!"
Wen Xidian and Wen Xixiu who came up were soon pulled over by Tang Lihuan. Xiaoxiao was very curious about what Wen Xixiu, the incense smeller, could talk to these people who discussed bows and arrows.
The two of them looked at each other quickly, but they were better than thousands of words. Before Xiaoxiao could even smile, Dan Tai Furong pulled her to look at her new cloak: "White asked me to praise you for a long time, the new clothes they specially changed! Didn't you show up?"
Ruicai and Xizi also continued. Ruicai's eyes were sharp and hurriedly pointed to the Ning King over there. Then everyone realized that the unmarried couple actually wore the same cloak, all of which were covered with brocade faces of Hayao. On the mo purple base, there were a trace of bright red floating like smoke, as if fireworks were flying from afar.
"You two are so popular!" Ruicai joked.
But Xizi said seriously: "I didn't expect that purple and red can look so harmoniously and beautifully."
Xiaoxiao nodded without realizing it: "It really smells like 'fire shining on the heaven and earth, and red stars are chaotic and purple smoke'!"
Dan Tai Furong turned around and showed her cloak, then walked up to everyone and said mysteriously: "These two cloaks are given by the emperor."
Everyone felt it was rare when they heard this, so they carefully looked at the cloak and heard Furong say, "This one is inlaid with white fox hair, and the one is from the Mo Fox, so the effect is very different."
Ruicai looked at the pin and nodded: "It is worthy of being the gift of the emperor, and the workmanship is indeed a rare and exquisite."
Furong tilted her head and looked at Ruicai, making the other party feel embarrassed, and then pointed it at her forehead: "You can really hide things. We are all kept in the dark by you! I was thinking about what day the Lord of Tang Island would invite us to the wedding. When he saw the bride, hey, it turned out to be Ruicai! That was even more shocking!"
Ruicai smiled embarrassedly: "Don't you all know this?"
Furong helped Xue Liu on her head: "I think you two are so capable. Just under our noses, no one shows up! Right?" Furong looked at the other two friends, "You only know it, right?"
Xiaoxiao nodded quickly and pretended to know: "I only knew about it when I heard from my elders a few days ago."
Xizi smiled and said deliberately: "I just learned that I just learned about it."
Furong sighed again: "How could such a good thing happen? Ruicai is going to marry into the Tang family and Yingyuan to accompany her!"
Ruicai was not shy and smiled openly, "I'm afraid that if I can't be a companion with Yingyuan for a long time, I'll go to the Wen family and Xizi to be companion!"
Furong rolled her eyes: "It's a pity that Ruicai's younger brother is too young. Otherwise, if Xizi marrys into the Wei family in the future, wouldn't you three become a chain of traps!"
I don’t know what ridiculous this sentence is, but the girls are laughing and laughing.
After laughing for a while, Xizi stroked her heart and said, "You all have their own homes, but I am the only one who is alone."
Everyone was joking when they heard that they were joking, Furong took Nishiko's hand and said, "Just because you are the most beautiful, people in Kyoto want to keep you for a few more years!"
Everyone's expressions became serious, and they all hoped that Xizi could find a satisfactory man.
Xizi asked, "I heard that I have also posted a post to help with my studies, why haven't anyone come here yet?"
Xiaoxiao was also puzzled: "I didn't reply to the letter I sent to aid the school two days ago. Could it be that something happened, right?"
Ruicai still knows some details: "At the New Year, I went back to my old house. At that time, my mother was not in good health. It was not easy for the New Year to ask about it. Now she doesn't reply, so we will go to her house tomorrow."
When everyone heard this, they nodded.
After a while, everyone's attention was attracted by a clear sound of flute. The sound of flute rubbed the moonlight and sprinkled on the entire lake, rippling and rippling, and penetrated the hearts.
"This is Gong Basheng's flute." Ruicai listened with his ears.
