Twin Brocade

Chapter 212
After the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor resumed the early court, officials began to go to the government, and schools everywhere began to hold classes.For this last carnival, the curfew in Beijing was lifted for one night, and the people can have fun.

After the reunion banquet at noon, Fang Mudi reported to Pang and returned to Mingyu Courtyard.

"I'm a little scared." She frowned, with a thin layer of sadness covering her face, which made me feel pitiful.

Fang Jinshu comforted her and said, "Could it be that Tang Aunt has forgotten her purpose?"

"I haven't forgotten," Fang Mudi said, parting his vermilion lips lightly, "but whenever I think about talking to him, I just..."

Cui Sheng's overbearing and unreasonable intervention in her life shattered her fantasy.Whenever I think of him, I feel more fear than joy, more fear than sweetness.What he brings is a storm, not a safe haven.Thinking of this, Fang Mudi wanted to escape.

"He wants to see you, isn't it just as we wished?" Fang Jinshu smiled and said, "Auntie, you can tell him what you want to say. I can guarantee that he will not do anything to you."

Her voice was still childish, but Fang Mudi gave her confidence out of thin air.Fang Mudi nodded, clenched his fists and encouraged himself: "I can do it!"

Fang Jinshu found it funny, Cui Sheng was just a bully, not a villain.Fang Mudi's appearance seems to be facing a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire.If the young master who thinks highly of himself finds out, he will beat his chest and stamp his feet.

If she was not mistaken, Cui Sheng's feelings for Fang Mudi had changed from being astounding and teasing at the beginning to a little sincerity.Fang Mudi took the opportunity to make a request, and he would most likely agree.

"How is Tang Aunt's handwriting, let Shu'er take a look." Fang Jinshu changed the subject indiscriminately, letting her have something to do so that she wouldn't think about it.

Speaking of writing, Fang Mudi cheered up and took out a calligraphy book.She was not taught in Erfang, and Aunt Hu was also illiterate.Still in the Mingyu Courtyard, the sisters of the Fang family took the enlightenment "Hundred Surnames" and "Three Character Classics" to teach her.She cherishes the opportunity, and now she has recognized these two books.

"I don't have pen and ink with my aunt, and I haven't practiced for a while." Fang Mudi was a little embarrassed, and said: "These few pages are new today, and they are worse than the previous ones."

Opening the calligraphy book, she found that her handwriting was limp and feeble, not to mention the sharpness and meaning of the strokes.Fortunately, the strokes are very neat and graceful, and it can be seen that she is writing with her heart.

Fang Jinshu himself knew that practicing calligraphy was not something that could be achieved overnight.Fang Mudi has been studying for only a few months, and he can achieve such results because of his extra hard work.

"It's much better than when I was a beginner." Fang Jinshu comforted her: "With the foundation, you can just practice slowly in the future."

Fang Mudi's marriage to Cui Sheng is just a concubine, so if he can read, at least he won't be deceived by others, but it doesn't matter if his writing is good or bad.If she wins Cui Sheng's heart, she will naturally have a lot of time to practice calligraphy.

In the evening, when greeting Si Lansheng, Si Lansheng smiled and said: "Today is the Lantern Festival, when you go out to play, don't forget the time. There is no curfew in Beijing, but our Fang family has the rules of the Fang family. "

The Fang family's family tradition is strict, even if it is a festival, they must return home before midnight.

Fang Ziquan responded with a smile, and said: "Mother, don't worry, with her son here, she must take care of my sisters."

"Go, have fun." Si Lansheng instructed, looked at Fang Jinshu and said, "Shu'er is the youngest, bring a few more people with you."

Fang Jinshu knew that these words were not only worried about her safety, but also reminded her that something might go wrong when Fang Mudi and Cui Sheng met, so she asked her to bring more people to take precautions.

"Don't worry, mother. I'll bring Fang Fei and Fang Xin with me, and I'll call the two wives from the outer courtyard."

Several people took the carriage and got off at the entrance of Tongfu Street.

What comes into view is a sea of ​​lights.Lotus lanterns, carp lanterns, peacock lanterns, octagonal lanterns... colorful and colorful.As the night faded, the sky was dyed a warm orange.

The light snow that fell in the morning had stopped, and the trees on the eaves were covered with a thin layer of white edges, which looked extraordinarily beautiful under the shade of the lights.In the front, in the lantern building set up by the Ministry of Rituals, a phoenix lantern is shining brightly in the sky, and people are singing and dancing below, creating a jubilant ocean.

"Let's go and have a look." Fang Ziquan said.

Wu Shan led the guards to open the way ahead, Fang Ziquan walked in front, Fang Jinhui, Fang Jinshu, and Fang Mudi followed behind wearing veiled hats, and pushed through the crowd to the front.

Surrounded by a noisy flow of people, there are excited and joyful faces on the left and right.Although the weather was cold, Fang Jinshu broke out in a thin layer of sweat after being in such a crowd.

"It just snowed in the morning, so walk slowly, the road is a little slippery." Fang Jinhui urged.

After finally reaching the bottom of the lantern tower, Fang Jinshu raised his neck and looked up, and saw all kinds of lanterns hanging on the seven-story lantern tower.

She clearly knew that every lamp above was handcrafted from the palace.Some are exquisite, some are exquisitely conceived, and some are dignified.Among them, the triple multicolored lady's rotating tube lamp on the top was made by Empress Cao.

This idea was suggested by her in her previous life.

Emperor Qinglong had newly ascended the throne and was determined to innovate. As the queen of the world, she naturally had to set an example.When the Ministry of Rites tied up the flower building, she suggested that the harem should be below her, and all the halls should be put up with lanterns, which saved manpower and shared the joy with the people.

Of course, the ladies of the palaces will not be allowed to do it themselves.As long as they come up with ideas and draw some patterns on it, it will be considered as made by themselves.

Emperor Qinglong readily agreed to her proposal.In the end, except for the empress dowager Xiao who enjoyed her life, everyone in the harem, no matter how high or low, participated in the making of lanterns.

The deep palace is lonely, and making lanterns has become a pleasure to pass the time.The concubines were already fighting endlessly, but with this incident, they were even more determined to show their faces in front of the emperor. It was more innovative than which palace had more lanterns tied up.

Now the lamp hanging on the tower is only a part made in the palace.Most of them are hung in the halls to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival.

"I heard that the top lamp was made by the empress herself." Fang Jinhui said, "If anyone can write a poem that is astonishingly talented, the empress can give this lamp to him. If I can get it, that would be great!"

Fang Jinhui's words pulled her back from her past thoughts.Fang Jinshu smiled, looked at the shocking Denglou in front of him and said nothing.In her previous life, she came up with an idea, but she never thought that there would be a day when she would be able to see the result in person.

Fang Mudi's eyes widened. She rarely even had the chance to go out for fun, and she had never seen such a glorious scenery.His eyes were reluctant to move away from the lamp tower, and he even forgot all the worries and fears in his heart.

At this time, a big man in a strong suit squeezed over from the side, cupped his hands and said, "Is it the female family member of the Fang family who is the servant of the Ministry of Rites?"

　Thanks to "Haha" and "Angel Yu" for their two precious monthly tickets, and thanks to "cardcat", "Momo2" and "Yufeixu" for their precious monthly tickets^_^
　　There is still 45 months left for the monthly ticket, and Zhouzhou will only change one day, little angels, come on~
　　In addition, Fangfang said that she asked me to change the rules of the monthly pass, so I changed it and added a new rule with a full 50 monthly pass plus a new chapter. Come and praise me O(∩_∩)O~
　　So now it is Jiangzi, one chapter will be added when the month is full of 50 monthly tickets, and one day will be updated when the monthly ticket is over 100 million (the time for adding the new chapter is set at the beginning of the next month, normally on the 1st, if there is an accident, it will be added before the 5th)
