Text 23: Lantern Festival (Part 1)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In a blink of an eye, it¡¯s the Lantern Festival.  The Lantern Festival in the past has been very ordinary, but this year is different.  This year is the first year after the filial piety has been removed. The first two years were quiet because of the filial piety, so this year will be lively no matter what.

    Wen Wan accepted the invitation, and we will spend it together this year.  Wen Wan originally wanted to refuse, but the eldest lady came to invite her personally.  Even the Duke of Guo came to visit.  Although Wenwan is impatient, favors are always needed.  During the year when she fell ill, the Duke's family and the fourth-fang family were very concerned about her.  If you refuse in such a cold manner, the impact will be very bad.  In the end, Wenwan thought about it for a while and decided to sit down there and leave.

    On the day of Lantern Festival, Ping Mansion is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.  The eldest aunt of the Duke's wife set up a banquet of wine in the large flower hall and ordered a small show.  Hanging all kinds of beautiful lights.  He led Shang Hong, Shang Wei, Shang Tang's nephew, daughter-in-law and others to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

    When Wen Wan arrived, she counted eight banquets, with a table on each table, a wine stove set on the table, and lily palace incense burning.  Next to it stood a small bonsai of two to three inches with fresh flowers.  There is also a tea tray with a small assorted tea basket inside, with tea brewed in it.

    Wen Wan looked at it, wondering why the Lantern Festival celebrated before was not so lively.  By the way, my grandmother was the head of the house before. Although she liked to wear red and green, Ping's mother wanted to save money from the house the most, so how could she be willing to spend this money.  Just as she was thinking about it, Mrs. Song and Mrs. Jin came to greet her in person. Mrs. Song, because she was the Crown Prince's wife, only gave the blessing gift to Wen Wan.  Jin, after hearing the previous rumors, bowed honestly and followed the normal procedure.

    Mrs. Song and Mrs. Jin were secretly frightened. It seemed that the princess had been recuperating this year as her mother-in-law said.  My temperament has changed.  Because of this, the two of them were even more polite to Wen Wan.

    He led Wen Wan to a side room to rest for a while, saying that the family would be here soon.  They were accompanied by people talking on both sides.

    "The gentle smile means that I'm early."  After taking a look at the layout, I saw that the interior was collapsed, with quilts, pillows, and leather mattresses.  The bedding is all made of fine satin fabric.  There is also a very light and small gold-painted table on the top, which contains tea hangers, tea bowls, towels and other items.

    The layout is very luxurious.  At this moment, the wind direction seemed to have changed again.  Also, the people in charge have changed, so the arrangements have naturally changed.  It would be strange if the wind direction does not change.

    The Song family invited Wen Wan here.  After saying a few words, outsiders came looking for him and left.  He left Jin as his companion, and followed Wen Wan as he talked about some things that happened in the Duke's mansion and the clan this year.  Wen Wan's expression was very calm and she didn't express any opinion, but she did seem to be listening to her words carefully.  It made Jin feel uneasy.  Anyone who says the princess has a good temper is lying.  This was really the first time that Jin had direct contact with Wen Wan.

    Jin was very surprised.  But he still talked about various things about the Taira family very attentively and thoughtfully.  Until someone came to report that someone was looking for the second mistress outside.

    "The princess said that since the second grandma has something to do, she can go down to do things first. Don't worry about her." Xia Yu whispered beside her.

    "Princess Princess, I'll go down first." Wen Wan waved her hand.

    "The princess said. As a family, there is no need to be so polite." Just as he was talking, it was heard from outside that the eldest lady was coming.  Two pretty maids opened the curtain and walked in.  Wen Wan stood up, greeted him, smiled, and sat down again.  Unlike before, when seeing the eldest lady, she would behave like a junior.

    Although the eldest lady was secretly surprised, she was Wen Wan.  If you can stand up, your etiquette will be fulfilled.  The eldest lady didn't think much and stayed with the emperor for a long time.  There will always be changes.  Xia Yu led the eldest lady to sit on the right side.  The eldest lady was not unhappy at all.  Sitting calmly on the right side, in ancient times.  The left is the most respected, the right is the second most important.

    "In the past year, I heard that you were recuperating in Zhuangzi, which made me anxious. I sent several groups of people to visit you, but they were all blocked. I was so anxious! Something was going to happen.  But it¡¯s terrible. From now on, you have to take care of yourself,¡± the eldest lady said kindly.

    "The princess said that she was in bad health when she was young. She seemed fine, but she had hidden diseases. She usually looked healthy, but whenever she had a headache or fever, it would cause old diseases and easily lead to serious illness. In fact, last year  The princess's illness was not as serious as the rumors outside, but the emperor had been worried about the princess's illness, so he took advantage of the opportunity to recuperate in Zhuangzi and asked the imperial doctor to treat her thoroughly, hoping to cure the old illness.  The Lord's illness requires rest and cannot be disturbed too much. That's why it is difficult to see the eldest lady. Our princess is indeed much better now, but the imperial doctor still says that she needs to be nursed back to health carefully. If she continues to be nursed back to health in two days,  The princess will be able to get rid of the root of the disease. But the imperial doctor told her not to work too hard, let alone be irritated, otherwise the disease may occur at any time." Xia Yu relayed Wen Wan's words.

    Hearing this, the eldest lady felt awe-inspiring.  The meaning of these words is profound.  It seems that the husband must be allowed to take good care of the fifth master.  If I get fucked againMaster is so angry that no one will benefit from it.

    The eldest lady said kindly, "Mr. Wang is right. You are still young. Even if you lose your health when you were young, if you take good care of yourself, and with Dr. Wang's medical skills, you will definitely be able to recover. Wenwan, if you are there  If there's anything missing, just send someone over. I also have some rare medicinal materials in my storehouse, which may be of use to you."

    ???????????????????????????? With a gentle smile and nod, showing that I appreciate it.

    "Madam, Princess, the Third Madam, the Fourth Madam, and the Fifth Madam are here." The personal maid beside the Madam is not the magpie from before.  It's been a different person, and I don't recognize the current one.

    "This is a pearl. I kept it by my side in the middle of last year and took care of it with great dedication." The eldest lady looked at the confusion in Wen Wan's eyes and explained with a smile.  Wen Wan nodded, indicating that she knew.

    After the third lady, the fourth lady, the fifth lady, and the three Taira wives came in, they first said hello to the eldest lady, and then looked at the statue of Wen Wan's statue there, motionless.  The eldest lady made a face, and the expressions of both the third lady and the fourth lady changed.

    The third lady was the one who gave her anger, and the fourth lady felt that Wen Wan's current momentum was not as good as before.  Anshi knelt down in front of Wen Wan and said, "Good luck to the princess."

    The expressions of all the people present changed.

    Wen Wan looked at An and smiled.  What was he doing, deliberately kneeling in front of her in front of all the elders here.  Although, according to the national ceremony.  Wen Wan can indeed accept this gift.  But no matter how you say it, she is your concubine.  In the fifth house before, it was justified because Anshi had lost her face.  But now, who is this for?  If word spread like this, her reputation would be extremely unpleasant.  Although Wen Wan disagrees, to outsiders, An is Ping Xiangxi's equal wife.

    Wen Wan chuckled in her heart.  She is no longer as gentle as before.  Even if it spreads a bad reputation, so what.  Is there anyone else she should be afraid of?  Until now, she still has to worry about those so-called false etiquette, just to find fault for herself.

    Wen Wan was very calm about An's kneeling.  There was no expression on his face.  As if Anshi didn't exist, he took a piece of osmanthus cake on one side and ate it carefully.  While eating, it shows the deliciousness of this pastry.  It looked like there was no one kneeling down there at all.

    Seeing that this was not good, the eldest lady spread the news and ruined her reputation.  By then the Duke's Mansion will not be in good shape either.  He hurriedly said to everyone in a scolding tone, "It's true that my fifth daughter-in-law is sick. Just send someone to deliver a message to me. Why come here with an illness? You can't even stand still. If it spreads, it will be bad."  I don¡¯t know how people outside think that I, a sister-in-law, am evil? I¡¯m not telling you, but for your three children.  Body. Pearl, go help the fifth lady up and move a soft couch for the fifth lady to sit on. "

    After hearing this, Mrs. An's face turned red.  Her original intention was to be gentle and embarrassed, but she forgot about the Duke's wife on the side.  The Duke's wife has always wanted to be so gentle.  Now the Duke's wife has given a warning.  If this continues, don't even think about the Duke's government helping her two sons in the future.  So when Pearl came to help her, she got up and sat on the soft couch next to her.

    The third lady and the fourth lady went up to give Wen Wan a blessing. Wen Wan smiled and said nothing.  She is Jun.  They are ministers, and this is the difference in level.  She didn't know how to use it well before, but then.  You must protect yourself with your identity.

    "Sit down." The eldest lady said to smooth things over. Under the guidance of Pearl, several people sat on the chairs on both sides.  Their faces looked a little strange.

    The third lady is angry.  The fourth lady's intentions are unclear. She has never seen Wen Wan before, but the legendary Wen Wan is as gentle as water. How could she be so arrogant and aloof?  The fifth lady didn't show it on her face, but her heart was filled with resentment.  He had not received any courtesy from her, but she had received it twice.

    "It's rare for everyone to get together and have fun, but we can't all be like this. Are everyone here?" When the eldest lady heard that everyone was here, she led everyone out to the flower hall.

    The upper seat is occupied by the elders, the second seat is occupied by the eldest grandma and the other young wives, and the third seat is occupied by the girls.  The last seat is for the grandchildren.  The men were all outside, and Wen Wan didn't want to sit with any of them, but in this case, she had no choice but to follow the crowd and sit on the table prepared for a few girls.

    The eldest lady sat in the upper seat, joked with her sisters-in-law a few times, and then looked at the play and took care of it.  Lifting her leg, Pearl realized the sound and came up to help her hammer her leg.

    "Grandma, let me come." Mengmeng, who was only six years old, ran forward happily, squeezed Pearl away, and started beating the eldest lady with her chubby hands.  The people next to him were laughing.

    "Come, come, come all." The eldest lady simply asked a few people to sit next to her, pointing and laughing one by one.  They laugh continuouslyLian and Wenwan watched with great interest as Yiyi sang on the stage.  Ignore their troubles.  This time I have no choice but to return the favor.  From now on, let¡¯s go to the palace.  At least she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable staying with the emperor's grandfather.

    "The seats on the corridor outside are Ping Guogong, Ping Xiang Hui, Ping Xiang Xiang, Ping Xiang Xi, Shang Hong, Shang Tang and others.  Talking while drinking.

    "At this time, the filial piety has been eliminated. Shangtang will also get married in June. At this time, the three boys Shang Kuan, Shang Shui, and Shang Raccoon from the second bedroom, as well as Qingzhao, have all reached the age of marriage. If the three younger brothers have  Let the Prime Minister take a look at the good candidates. Shang You is working abroad and has no time to take care of them for the time being. We uncles and uncles can't delay these three children." Mr. Guo looked at his three younger brothers.  It is too difficult to solve four of them by yourself.  If I could share some of the burden, I wouldn't be so stressed.

    "My wife also said two days ago that she has a distant niece from her parents' family who delayed her wedding because of her filial piety. That girl is nine out of ten this year. She is dignified and generous. She and Shang Kuan can get along well." The fourth master pondered for a moment.  .  Shang Kuan is the more dignified one among the three boys.  He is nineteen years old and deserves it.

    "I've also paid attention to this matter. I heard from one of my colleagues two days ago that his brother has a daughter who is fifteen years old and looks pretty. However, his father is a businessman, so it is inevitably difficult to get married. Look, brother." Ping Xiang.  Xi's words actually meant that he also cared about his second wife.  After Ping Xiangxi observed his filial piety, he returned to the Hanlin Academy as an errand.

    "I have a friend. His son is 10 and 7 years old. He is planning to hire a well-educated and courteous woman as his wife. I can see her photos." The woman recommended her very well. Anyway, if the man marries her and takes her home, it's OK.  It doesn't matter if you marry a second or third wife.  Men have more trouble.  So Mr. Third, choose the most convenient one.

    In the past two years, Wen Wan has donated his wealth to serve the people.  Coupled with the deliberate and unintentional exaggeration of the Heike, the reputation of the Heike girls has become much better than before.  Therefore, although she is a concubine, her friend is also a businessman.  It is possible to be worthy of this marriage.  If it is an official family, it will definitely not work.  Of course, although the third master desperately wants money and loves money, he is not outrageous.  Although the man in question may not be very talented, he is not a bad person either.

    The Duke of Guo nodded after hearing their introduction.  Ask them to bring the detailed information when the time comes, and he will send someone to inquire about it. This matter must be done carefully.  After what happened with Shang Mu, the Duke of Guo had to personally send someone to check before he felt at ease about the marriage.

    The speculations discussed outside were also lively inside at this time. The eldest lady was in high spirits, and the servants brought the copper coins without any instructions.  The copper coins were all tied with red ropes. It was estimated that they had been prepared a long time ago.  Under the instructions of the eldest lady, put the money on the table next to the eldest lady.  Open the money one by one, pull away the red rope, and scatter it all over the table.

    At this time, I ordered "Guan Leng". When I saw the excitement, the eldest lady called out, "Reward."  The maid next to her shouted loudly, "Madam, I'm giving you some silver coins." After saying that, she threw them on the stage and heard the sound of money falling all over the floor.

    Hearing this from outside, Duke Ping asked someone to carry another basket of copper coins into the inner room, thinking that they had been prepared before.  Hearing the money reward, they ordered the boy to scatter money on the stage. Everyone heard the sound of money all over the stage, and they were happy and happy.  (To be continued)
