Fu Qin starts with a plan

Chapter 245 This House Makes Me Feel So Strange
Although he knew that Ying Yuanman had bad intentions, Zhao Kun still accepted the clues she provided.

After returning from Wang's Bieyuan, Zhao Kun began to plan to leave Pinyang.

Although Han Xin and Chen Ping are in charge of the overall situation, some modernization developments have to be handled by him.

In this way, in a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival is approaching.

Han Xin and Chen Ping, who are busy with work, can't take care of the festival, but Zhao Kun attaches great importance to it.

Because he fought Landlords with Ying Zheng, Wang Li, and Wang Ya all night on New Year's Eve, it was really boring.

If there are no new tricks, I am afraid that apart from fighting the landlord, the Lantern Festival will be playing mahjong.

Seeing that after the festival, he was about to leave Pinyang. Before the end of the Spring Festival, he wanted to really feel the taste of the New Year.

Well, I can't play cards, so I have to enjoy the Lantern Festival.

But how can we celebrate the Lantern Festival?
Zhao Kun has no concept in mind, he only knows about the Lantern Festival in this era, and it doesn't matter what you want.

In fact, the "Yuanxiao Festival" was really named during the period of Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty, but the Qin Dynasty already had the tradition of celebrating the festival in the first lunar month.

This also means that the custom of the Lantern Festival is our Chinese nation, which has been passed down since ancient times, and it is not the cultural heritage of some Bangzi country.

However, if we really want to celebrate the festival in the traditional way, Zhao Kun thinks it is better to play cards.

He felt that he had traveled from modern times, and to celebrate the Lantern Festival, he had to be similar to modern times.

Otherwise, how can you feel the taste of Chinese New Year?

But in the modern Lantern Festival, what we pay attention to is the word "nao".

This is the Lantern Festival, the Lantern Festival, how can I celebrate the Lantern Festival without making trouble?
But the so-called noise does not refer to crowds of people running into the streets and yelling, but the excitement.

If you want to live a lively life, in addition to eating Lantern Festival, the more important thing is to enjoy lanterns.

Of course, Zhao Kun doesn't like to eat Yuanxiao, and even hates glutinous rice and other foods, but when it comes to viewing lanterns, it has been his favorite item since he was a child.

Before BC, there was no concept of "decorating lanterns and festoons". Firstly, the paper in this era was still in Zhao Kun's hands, so there were no lanterns, and secondly, colored silk, which most people could not afford.

Therefore, if you want to have a lively festival, you have to make arrangements for it yourself.

Just three days ago, he started ordering the stripper to make lanterns.

As the saying goes, a bamboo craftsman who can't make paper figurines can't make good lanterns.Obviously, after professional training, the bamboo stick craftsman in Zhao Kun's residence has become an all-round "art master".

Produced by art masters, they must be high-quality goods, especially when Zhao Kun let them play freely, the lanterns are well made.

What round, square, odd-shaped, everything is available.

After Zhao Kun unified the colors of the lanterns, he began to draw patterns of flowers, birds, fish and insects to make the lanterns more ornamental.

The servants in the mansion like lanterns very much, especially those maidservants, who come out to play with lanterns when it gets dark, and they are fascinated by watching them every time, and they like it so much.

Seeing that they liked it, Zhao Kun asked them to make and paint by themselves. Ever since, more and more lanterns were made, and the bamboos on the back mountain were almost bald.

No way, it is really addictive to make lanterns!

This evening, the sky had just darkened, and the streets were a little cold.

Tao Hua wore a hooded cloak and carried a lantern with the pattern of "Flying Crane", walking around in the yard, immediately attracted other maids, and they also played with Tao Hua with the lanterns.

Seeing the girls laughing and playing with lanterns, Zhao Kun couldn't help sighing that this is the festive atmosphere.

But obviously, some people don't think so.

"My lord has done a good job for those who work on night shifts!"

Standing beside him, Wu Cheng sighed while watching Zhao Kun make the lantern.

Hearing his exclamation, Zhao Kun was almost pierced by a bamboo stick, and said in disbelief, "Beat more people?"

"My lord, is this called a lantern?" Wu Cheng pointed to the lantern in Taohua's hands and said, "It's good for lighting at night!"

"Isn't this nonsense? The lantern is so bright, the lighting must be good!" Zhao Kun gave Wu Cheng a blank look. He felt that Wu Cheng associated the lantern with the beater, completely ignoring the significance of the lantern to the festival.

It's almost like a cow chewing peonies.

"I saw bright lights in your mansion from afar... huh? What is this?" Wang Li walked in from the door with a smile, and was taken aback when he saw the lantern on Zhao Kun's desk.

Zhao Kun tilted his head in doubt: "Why are you here?"

"It's too boring to stay at home all the time, so I just want to come to you to have some fun!"

While talking, Wang Li looked at the lantern on the table and said, "With this thing, I won't be afraid to walk at night in the future."

"Then how did you walk at night when you didn't have it?"

"Someone is holding the lamp! But it's not so convenient!"

Zhao Kun was a little speechless, thinking that Wu Cheng would be fine, why Wang Li also behaved like this, could it be that the general's mind is full of mud?
Can't they see the beauty of the lantern?

Isn't it nice to see girls frolicking outside with lanterns?

Why do you associate lanterns with walking at night?

What an amazing idea!

Just when Zhao Kun was slandering, Ying Yuanman walked in with a smile, holding a 'Skylark' lantern in his hand, which looked like it should belong to a maid.

"Brother Kun's idea is really unconstrained, and he can make such a beautiful lantern!"

Ok?
Why is she here too?
Zhao Kun frowned, and immediately looked at Wang Li.

Wang Li chuckled and explained: "It's not just me who are boring, but also my sister and Princess Huayang!"

"You are all here, what about Auntie?"

Zhao Kun looked at Ying Yuanman with strange eyes, then at Wang Li, and asked curiously, "You left her at home alone?"

"how is this possible!"

Wang Li shrugged and said: "My mother is no better than us, she has poker friends to accompany her, so she won't be bored."

"Card buddies?"

Zhao Kun was stunned for a moment, and then said dumbfoundedly: "I didn't expect my aunt to be so obsessed with playing mahjong."

"It's not your fault!"

"Me? What's wrong with me?"

Ying Yuanman put down the lantern, gouged out Zhao Kun's eyes, and said angrily: "In the past when Marquis Tongwu went out to fight, the Ying family would write family letters from time to time, but since he became obsessed with playing mahjong, he didn't bother to write this family letter, so that Marquis Tongwu went to war every now and then. Send someone back to ask if something happened at home..."

"Hahaha!"

When Zhao Kun heard this, he couldn't help laughing.

Ying Yuanman said angrily: "You still have the nerve to laugh. When Tong Wuhou comes back, I will definitely not spare you!"

"Uh...this..."

Zhao Kun restrained his laughter and looked at Wang Li helplessly.

Wang Li shook his head and sighed: "Don't look at me, this home makes me feel so strange."

Hearing this, Zhao Kun frowned depressedly, and said in dissatisfaction: "Why are you two spoiling the fun, and why don't you let me celebrate the festival?"

"Holiday?"

Ying Yuanman was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "The festival you're talking about, shouldn't it be the Shangyuan Festival?"

The Shangyuan Festival is actually the Lantern Festival. Every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival is eaten, so it is also called the Lantern Festival.

Zhao Kun knew this, so he nodded and said: "This year's New Year's Eve was not a good one, so the Shangyuan Festival should be better."

"But isn't Shangyuan Festival worshiping ancestors?" Wang Li scratched his head and asked with some doubts: "Apart from worshiping ancestors, what else can we do?"

Zhao Kun said as it should: "What a mess!"

Ying Yuanman: "What's the trouble?"

Zhao Kun: "Let's make trouble in Yuanxiao!"

These words made Wang Li and Wu Cheng look at each other suspiciously.

But Ying Yuanman asked curiously: "Then what's the trouble?"

"Did you see the lanterns outside the yard? When the Lantern Festival comes, we will decorate with lanterns!"

Zhao Kun pointed to the door and explained: "The lanterns need to be hung up. If you have enough time, you can also cut the window grilles and paste the Spring Festival couplets I wrote. In addition, we also need to put up Kongming lanterns!"

"Window flower?"

"Spring Festival couplets?"

"Kongming Lantern?"

Neither Wu Cheng nor Wang Liting had ever heard of these words. Only Ying Yuanman knew that Spring Festival couplets should be related to couplets.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him strangely, Zhao Kun smiled and said, "Anyway, if you want to have a Lantern Festival, just listen to me!"

"Before you leave, you have to make a fuss!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help but think of the past events that Zhao Kun had tossed about in Pinyang.

It just makes my scalp tingle!
.........

On the other side, Wang's other courtyard.

Gongsun Yu, Ying Shi, and the wives of two courtiers were playing mahjong in the back hall.

Yingshi skillfully touched a card, played it out and said, "In a few days, my sister-in-law will be leaving. I'm afraid we won't be able to get all the cards at the table!"

She called Gongsunyu her sister-in-law in private, so the two wives of the courtiers were not surprised.

Before Gongsun Yu spoke, one of the courtiers' wives touched a card and sighed: "Your Majesty is on a tour of the east, and my husband will also accompany you. I don't know when I will be back!"

"It's a great honor to tour the east with His Majesty, just be content with it, it's better than staying in Xianyang with my husband," another courtier's wife finished speaking, and played out a two-pack.

"Bullshit!"

Gongsun Yu pushed the card away and said with a smile: "All with a hook!"

"Everyone Gongsun's luck is really good!" The lady who was handed over was not upset, she took out the chips and handed them to Gongsunyu with a smile.

Gongsun Yu took the chips and smiled, then said to Ying Shi while drawing the cards: "Tong Wuhou has been on the expedition for more than two months, why don't you write a letter to ask?"

"what?"

Ying snorted, and said: "The last time he wrote a letter, he scolded me, saying that I don't care about Yamei's marriage!"

"This is so strange. It's not my fault that His Majesty bestowed the marriage. If he wants to blame, he can blame His Majesty. What's wrong with blaming me as a little woman?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong again, so he hurriedly said with a dry smile, "I'm not saying that His Majesty's is not right!"

Seeing that the two wives were silent, Gongsun Yu shook his head with a wry smile: "In the past few days, the palace has experienced misfortunes, and I don't know who offended His Majesty. If something goes wrong, His Majesty will be furious. Young officials!"

"This"

The two ladies looked at each other and looked at each other.

Their husbands were all courtiers of the first emperor, if the first emperor suddenly became irritable, their husbands would be in dire straits.

Thinking of this, one of the wives asked cautiously: "Then, can you, Gongsun, have a way to appease His Majesty's anger?"

"I can't help it." Gongsun Yu glanced at the two wives, then changed the topic and said, "However, one person may have a way!"

"Who?"

"Young Master Kun."

When Gongsunyu finished playing cards and returned to the palace, the lights in Yingzheng's study room were still on.

She hesitated for a while, then came to the study to visit Ying Zheng.

But as soon as he reached the door of the study, he was stopped by Zhao Gao: "Master Gongsun, Your Majesty is in a bad mood, and I'm afraid I can't see you now."

Hearing this, Gongsun Yuxiu frowned slightly. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she heard Ying Zheng yell out, "You old dog, have you got the guts to overwhelm the sky? Pull down and slap your mouth!"

After speaking, he walked out, dragged Gongsun Yu into the study, and closed the door behind him.

Only Zhao Gao was left standing outside the door, extremely depressed.

In the past few days, he has been reprimanded by Ying Zheng a lot, and he feels like he has a bad luck.

"I don't know that bastard angered His Majesty!"

Zhao Gao was angry in his heart, but left the study as if nothing had happened.

Inside the study.

Gongsun hurriedly stroked Ying Zheng's chest and brought him tea and water: "Your Majesty, your body has just recovered, so don't lose your temper!"

"Don't mention it!"

Ying Zheng waved his hands and said, "That brat offends me, neither beating him nor scolding him, he really pissed me off."

Hearing this, Gongsun Yu couldn't help being a little amused, thinking that this is not anger, it's clearly out of anger!
If it was an ordinary prince, why would His Majesty be so angry, hateful and angry?
His Majesty's actions during this period are clearly to train Zhao Kun as Da Qin's successor.

When his son Hu Hai was favored, he had never seen His Majesty do this.

Only when Fusu was favored did he have such a 'honor'.

Why doesn't my son understand that there are some things that can't be won just by fighting for them.

His Majesty has already made a decision in his heart. If there is no Zhao Kun, His Majesty will only hand over the world of Daqin to Fusu.

The current Hu Hai is not very close to Gongsun Yu. Compared to her, Hu Hai is more willing to listen to his teacher Zhao Gao.

As a mother, there is nothing wrong with her son, but not every son understands her mother.

Thinking of this, Gongsun Yu was slightly dazed.

"It's so late, why did you come to me?"

Ying Zheng calmed down, looked at Gongsun Yu who was stupefied and asked.

Gongsun Yu came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "Oh, my concubine played cards with some wives."

As soon as the words fell, Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and he hummed as if he remembered something.

Gongsun Yu was worried, so he asked: "Did the concubine do something wrong?"

"I'm not mad at you again!"

Ying Zheng smiled angrily.

"Okay, you've done a good job. That brat has a shallow foundation in the court. Let people pay more attention to him now, and it will be relatively easy to do things in the future!"

After finishing speaking, Ying Zheng shouted out of the door again: "Come here, give three hundred gold to everyone, Gongsun, from my young mansion!"

"Your Majesty, this... this is too much, the concubine doesn't need it."

"You do things for me, and I will give you money to play cards, so you can have fun, and it's okay to lose!"

Ying Zheng smiled and patted Gongsun Yu's little hand, signaling her not to worry.

"But."

Gongsun Yu looked at Ying Zheng with a complicated expression, and then said hesitantly; "But my concubine wins money every day, today I won more than 50 gold."

Ying Zheng: "."

Gongsun Yu: "."

The two looked at each other without speaking.

After a while, Ying Zheng stood up, put his arms around Gongsun Yu's slender waist, and said fiercely: "Yu'er, you have changed!"

"what?"

Gongsun Yu looked bewildered.

But Ying Zheng hugged himself tighter and said, "I'm hungry."

Gongsun Yu: "."

She didn't know what Ying Zheng meant, so she lowered her head with a blushing face, and said softly, "Your Majesty will eat Yu'er."

　Thank you for the 10000 rewards of chasing dreams with the wind.
