That little fly

Chapter 54 Shangyuan Banquet

"Do you know why I transferred you to take care of Luzi's house? There are plenty of people I can use."

The backs of Zhao Dazhuang's family were almost drenched with sweat, and his mouth was bitter. She really didn't know.It's not uncommon for a child to get chickenpox, but if the master really cares about it, they, the servants, will inevitably be taken out and punished.Also, Lord Hou and his wife have just arrived, so the killing stick may really fall on him.

"How long have you been in this mansion?"

"Back to Ma'am, it's been 12 years."

"That was almost when the master first started his official position. You have been doing needlework. When the master was in the fifth and sixth ranks, your craftsmanship was suitable. Now the master is the second rank in the dynasty. Do you think your craftsmanship is still suitable?" Mrs. Shui said. You're welcome.

The faces of Zhao Dazhuang's family instantly turned red, and they said submissively, "Ma'am, what Ma'am taught me. Slave, servant is too poor in skill, not worthy..." There was an uncontrollable stammer in his voice.

"But I still choose you to take care of Luzi's clothes sewing. Do you know why?" Mrs. Shui suddenly turned around, "Because you are reliable."

Zhao Dazhuang's family suddenly looked up in surprise, feeling shocked, afraid, happy, and worrying about gain and loss, the muscles on his face trembled uncontrollably.

"Clothes are close-fitting things, and they are as important as the things that are imported. The mansion is short of manpower, and there are destined to have newly purchased ones to enter the mansion, but I must ensure that some important things are handed over to people who can make me feel at ease. do you understand?"

"Husband, madam, I, I, I..."

"Tell me now, I will give you Luzi's clothes and accessories as well as the furnishings in the house, will you reassure me?"

"Yes, I can! Don't worry, ma'am, the servants will take good care of the young master." Zhao Dazhuang's family didn't have a clever mouth, and they kowtowed while wiping their tears, but they were sincere.

"You just have to keep an eye on his clothes." Madam Shui nodded, "All Luzi's clothes and quilts have to be washed. Before the chicken pox subsides, all the clothes he takes off have to be boiled. I want to You go and see it yourself. When the weather is fine, the bedding will be exposed to the sun. In the future, his outer clothes will be contracted to Brocade Workshop, and the underwear will be prepared by you. But no matter the outer clothes or underwear, the upper body must be ironed at high temperature before. The clothes in the closet now..." Mrs. Shui explained her son's daily life in various ways, and Zhao Dazhuang's family listened carefully below, keeping it in mind.The two of them were busy here, when they heard the sound of clear water coming from far to near,

"This hero will not give in."

"Be honest with me." This was Ning Renhou's voice.

"The top of Mount Hua will leave behind this hero's eternally unyielding soul..."

"Unyielding? It's so fresh. What's so unyielding about you? A green forest robber, if you catch him, you'll hit him with fifty slaps."

"Grand thief! It's a grand thief! He steals from the rich and gives to the poor..."

"Hey, it's too late, you are now a prisoner of the government. Go to the study to write big characters for the master..."

Then Mrs. Shui saw her son's hands and arms were tied tightly, and his father carried him all the way past the entrance of the front hall.After the initial fever subsided, Shui Qingqian started to be active again, completely different from what a patient should be.It's just that herpes is itchy. Parents are afraid that their children will stretch out their hands and scratch randomly, so they always tie their hands to their sides. Every child has survived like this, but such a little thing can be caught by his Luzi for a while.

The two of them walked past the door and headed straight for the study.

"Our Shui Batian has been carrying a fifty-pound sword across the mountains and forests since he was three years old, punching Nanshan and kicking Beihai..."

"Don't come here, even if you can resist a [-]-jin hammer, you can't miss five big characters a day."

"Humph! A manly man... Uh, Dad... my stomach is itchy." Shui Qingqian suddenly lost her domineering side, and acted coquettishly.

"A hero from the green forest, you are not afraid of being hurt, but are you still afraid of itching?"

Mrs. Shui, "Okay." Mrs. Shui rubbed her forehead, "That's it for now. There are some things you have to know, and you can just know it yourself. After you go out, let Aunt Zheng come in."

Leaving aside what the Hou Ye and his wife changed their minds, Shui Qingqian accidentally got chickenpox, but the chickenpox is in good condition and has been controlled within the normal symptoms, and as time goes by, Shui Qingqian gradually improved.Even apart from the initial fever, he didn't feel bad.On the contrary, Xiao Luzi felt that he was a blessing in disguise because he didn't have to get up early to go to school.The only shortcoming is that he was afraid of contagion, so he was not allowed to visit the house with his friends, and he was not allowed to go out, even though it was a New Year's greeting during the New Year.

Shui Qingqian missed the New Year's social event, but the Attorney General and the Hou Ye couple were not, and they were so popular that they were so popular at various New Year's banquets.As a result, Shui Qingqian's absence became even more noticeable. A child with chickenpox had been cared for by countless people. In the various banquets Mrs. Shui attended, she did not know how many gold and silver coins were given. The little girl, also spared some sets of bracelets and jade ornaments.

By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the chickenpox had already completely healed, and Shui Qingqian missed the New Year's banquet, and this royal Shangyuan banquet became the first important social occasion in his life.Naturally, compared with the New Year's Eve banquet, the Shangyuan banquet was slightly less grand and full of excitement.Because it is a very formal occasion, Xiaoluzi's dress this time not only follows the style of the red envelope, today's red envelope can be called a rich red envelope with gold borders and pearls: the red-bottomed butterfly wears brocade cloud satin , the white jade belt is tied with multicolored silk sash, and there is also a red jade gourd accessory hanging on it. On the chest, there is a gold Chi Yingluo hanging with suet white jade.The hair is also tied up, it is no longer a bun, but is tied up on the top of the head like a little adult, and a purple gold crown with golden tassels and wings is tied. There is a huge pearl on the front, and two delicate strands are thrown behind the crown. The phoenix feather tail of the thin sculpture trembles slightly with every movement of Shui Qingqian, very rich and dynamic.

The banquet is held in the Chunde Hall, the Sun Moon Tower on the east side is the main banquet place for men, and the Beiji Tower on the west side is where the family members live.As the young master of the Shifu, Shui Qingqian can go to Sun Moon Tower with his father and grandfather to celebrate with the officials, and because he is less than ten years old, there is nothing wrong with staying with the family and female relatives. The choice lies in Shui Qingqian. Looking briefly at the grandpa and dad who were dressed in formal and dignified court attire, they turned around to sit next to the beautiful and fragrant mother, and followed the Big Dipper Building like a little tail.

Then he regretted it.

"It's the first time I've seen someone as popular as you, are you blushing?"

Shui Qingqian pulled up his trousers and turned around, the person next to him who was talking to him was shushing his hands, judging by his clothes, he was a palace guard, but he had a three-knot damask on the right side of his chain mail chest, he was a high-ranking lieutenant, look Not very old.

"My name is Feng Ran, by the way." Said the young officer in his twenties.

Shui Qingqian thought for a while, Princess Ningguo's husband's family name was Feng, and it was his family who sold the disinfectant prescription.Well, this one can relate. "My name is Shui Qingqian."

"I know you. The wolf slave mentioned it to me... Oh, it's Yuan Mu, the third child of the Yuan family." Feng Ran trembled and tied up his pants, "He's my brother-in-law."

Shui Qingqian: This news is too late to grasp.

"He said he didn't see you in the Sun Moon Tower. If you want to come, you are here. When I see you, please help me with a message." Feng Ran glanced at Shui Qingqian, his eyes felt a little sympathetic, and he spoke sharply. Turn around, "It's okay, you'll learn your wisdom from a pit, you have to be thankful that you're still young." It was referring to the grand occasion when Shui Qingqian was matched by La Lang in the banquet hall just now.

Shui Qingqian suddenly felt that this person was likable.

Shui Qingqian was besieged by all the wives in the Big Dipper Tower just now. Facts have proved that in terms of three aunts and six wives, there is no essential difference between these imperial wives and the country aunts.What's more cruel than the aunts in the country is that they besieged Shui Qingqian by themselves, and dared to invite the little girls from the left to the right to make friends with him, and asked him to take them to play-does he look like a girl? Nanny?These ladies stepped on the little Luzi's tail feathers unintentionally, he hates girls the most!Because they dare not go down the river to touch fish, dare not go up the tree to dig out the bird's nest, blocking a rabbit hole is even more waste material, and some even scream when they see bugs...the annoyance is so annoying!In the end, Shui Qingqian was very graceful, or rather hopeless, and escaped along the urethra.

Feng Ran witnessed the wonderful process during the period and felt very sympathetic.

"Well, women are not easy to mess with, and women who can be mother-in-law are even more difficult to mess with." Feng Ran said with a messy expression, "So, you'd better go to the Sun Moon Tower, or you can set off fireworks on the square outside. There are lantern riddles on the other side of the corridor, and Yuan Laosan told me that he will go there soon. He asked me to tell you, if you are interested, you can find him there."

The two of them were talking, and they left the Gong's office together. The water was clear and shallow, and they saw the bright light beyond the flying corridor, "Are you coming together?" This young master quite liked his appetite.

It's a pity, Feng Ran pointed to the waist badge with a bitter face, "I'm on duty."

The flying corridor connects the Sun Moon Building and the Big Dipper Building. There are many exquisite lanterns hanging inside, some made in the palace, and more from various noble houses. All the lanterns are put together, and there are lantern riddles on it. It's guessing riddles to win lanterns.At first, it was a show for the monarch and his ministers to enjoy together, but it gradually evolved into a world full of children.

Shui Qingqian bid farewell to Feng Ran, and sneaked to the flying corridor. At present, many young masters and daughters of Xungui's family have gathered here. Shui Qingqian glanced at a distance of more than ten feet, and they were all unfamiliar faces. Uh, actually He only knew Yuan Mu and Meng Shaogang, Shui Qingqian looked up at the exquisite lanterns of various colors on the beam, and decided not to go to the Sun Moon Tower, because the lanterns should be the first to act first.

All kinds of gorgeous lanterns are hung all over the shed. Since every family has sent lanterns to the palace, it is inevitable that there is a heart of comparison, which is more unique than the exquisite design of the puzzles and the uniqueness of the lanterns.Shifu also made lanterns, Shui Qingqian did it himself, it was used to pass the time during his recuperation, but he made it very carefully, the lampshades were all painted by himself, and he picked out this one after seven or eight paintings before and after.The painting is "A Day's Journey to Shangji Street in Early Summer" based on the street market that day in Qiangang, with him and brother Ah Zhao on it.

Because the lanterns were to be sent to the palace for sharing, Shui Qingqian deliberately used kite butterfly paper that was not suitable for painting, a kind of boring thing that tends to be gorgeous, showing off wealth more than practical value, all for the sake of appearance.Clear water is very good intentions, but I have to admit that no matter how gorgeous the paper is, it is just paper.During the palace lantern display on the Shangyuan Festival, I don’t know how many lanterns are decorated with jewelry and gold leaf, so the handicrafts of an eight-year-old child look simple and eye-catching.The lantern itself is really not that shabby, it’s just that the lanterns of Shifu were put together with the lanterns of other first-class wealthy Xungui’s family. of throwing goods.

"Hey, I really don't know which poor official sent it here, so I have the nerve to send it to the palace?"

Sure enough, some people disliked it.

The clear and crisp voice carried a haughty sense of superiority in its tone.It was a little girl in a palace dress, and Shui Qingqian could only see her side face.Shui Qingqian looked up at the lantern she made from a distance, and pursed her lips unhappily.

"That's right. I really don't know how the people of Guanglu Temple arranged to put this kind of lamp in?"

"Don't worry about it, Yuegui, come and look at my house's lamp. If you guess correctly, this lantern will be sent to you by a hundred birds and a phoenix." Another male duck's voice in the voice-changing period of a teenager showed a bit of showing off and fawning.

The water is clear and shallow, looking at the past, the real bird is facing the phoenix, a phoenix shape, the lamp body is made of various feathers, not only to show the natural and changeable colors of the feathers under the light, but also the candles inside The fire shines brightly, which is indeed very delicate.Shui Qingqian looked at the ostentation of the three men and one woman following behind him, tilted his head, turned and walked to the other side, and at the same time made up his mind to go over and get his lantern back later.It's not rare to leave the lanterns with you!

Shui Qingqian looked up at the lantern by herself, not to mention the servants, not even a servant from the palace came over, and the lonely shadow usually represented the "family of the little official Zhima", so no one came up for a long time Talking to him before, this made Shui Qingqian, who had been surrounded by spectators just now, especially enjoy the rare ease in front of him, and took the opportunity to fiercely collect the spoils.

Shui Qingqian fell in love with an embroidered palace lantern with a picture of a beautiful woman.Shui Qingqian looked at the embroidered picture of beauties, thought for a while,

"The answer to the riddle is 'the icing on the cake', right?" He asked the servant next to him who was in charge of the lantern.

"My lord is smart." The servant bowed his head and bowed his compliments, "This lantern is yours, do you want to take it now, or send it to the house later?"

Shui Qingqian already had four lanterns in his hands at this time, and he couldn't move them, "Can I send these to the house together?" Her hands were sore.

"It's natural. May I ask what your residence is..."

"It's the Shifu in Qingmin Lane." Shui Qingqian reported her family name.

Qingmin Lane... Shifu?Isn't that - the residence of the Chief Attorney? !The servant suddenly realized in his heart that this young master was probably the one in the rumors——Little Feitian'er.The servant raised his head subconsciously while receiving the lantern.

The flying corridor is about twenty feet long, but only six or seven steps wide. Apart from the servant who is in charge of the lamp, several people nearby have heard Shui Qingqian's self-reported family name. One of the three lords, in the imperial capital full of dignitaries, the Shifu is also a glittering existence, and everyone looked at it curiously, the little master in the Shifu...it is definitely the little flying sky.After seeing it, Zhuo Zhuo's gaze couldn't stay any longer.The gossip spread like water ripples in circles, and for a moment, the lanterns all over the corridor seemed to be dazzled only from this side.

After more than half a year of traveling abroad, this point of paying attention is purely trivial, Shui Qingqian ignores the sight of the whole body.When he was about to look up and continue to look for the next lantern, he accidentally caught a glimpse of the group of people looking this way just now, and then they moved, leaving the spot and approaching their side, Shui Qingqian turned around a bit, Then he turned around and walked towards him.

"That's...he's the one..."

The famous son of Ning Renhou, a real Fei Tianer, no matter whether there is a reason for his first love or not, a faint blush involuntarily rose on the cheeks of the little girl in a gorgeous pink palace dress.So that person is...

He... Sure enough, as the rumors said, his beautiful face was like a fairy descending to earth.

His name is Shui Qingqian, and he is walking towards himself...

"Fei Tian'er." The flower protector's tone was very complicated. Compared with Fei Tian'er's reputation, the young master who had been making a lot of noise with the lantern just now became a passerby.

Seeing Shui Qingqian coming straight towards her, the little girl gradually stopped, with a shy smile that implied pride on her face, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to approach.
