The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 20 Zhengdan Chaohe Chenghuang Temple Fair (recommendation ticket for collection)
Hongde calendar, six years, the first day of the first month.

The annual Zhengdan ceremony is about to begin.

I just heard about it, but I have never personally seen Jia Jing who participated in the Zhengdan court celebration, so I still have a lot of curiosity and anticipation in my heart.

At three quarters of Yin time, all the officials in Beijing had come to wait outside the imperial palace, and it was not until dawn that teams of forbidden troops appeared, displaying the honor guard dragon flags of the Taishang Emperor and Hongde Emperor outside the Huangji Hall. Dan Chi place.

Set up the bright fan in the hall, the train in Danchi, and the four people who sounded the whip, all standing facing north.

Afterwards, the royal band of the Jiaofang Division quickly entered the arena and lined up on the east and west sides of Danbi; the Etiquette Division set up a case to the east of Danbi.

Dressed in golden armor, the tall and burly Han generals, together with the imperial guards, were armed and armed, and lined up from the Danchi Hall of the Emperor to the outside of the palace gate.

As soon as the sky was dawn, the grand Zhengdan ceremony had officially begun. Judging from its scale, it was only a little smaller than the emperor's enthronement ceremony.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One heavy drum, one light drum, the drum beat first changed from slow to fast and then from fast to slow, the drum sound changed from weak to strong and then from strong to weak, and finally stopped suddenly with a melodious bell.

At this time, all the officials in court clothes lined up in front of the palace gate, and then with the sound of the drum again, they were divided into two teams of civil and military officials, and entered from the left and right gates of the palace.

It was also at this time that the Supreme Emperor Yang Bing and the Hongde Emperor Yang Chong came to Danbi in front of the Huangji Hall in a dragon chariot carried by 16 people, ready to accept the congratulations of the officials.

……

It wasn't until the sun was three poles high that the ceremony of the Zhengdan court came to an end.

Jia Jing's curiosity and anticipation for Zhengdan Chaohe was brutally beaten to death by the tired and tedious little man.At the same time, Jia Jing also decided in her heart that every New Year in the future, she would go back to Jinling to worship her ancestors!

Finally, with Emperor Hongde's utterance of "Celebrate the celebration of Lu Duan, share it with you and others", the congratulatory ceremony of Zhengdan Dynasty finally came to an end amidst the officials' shouts of long live.

Jia Jing also breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, the two emperors accepted the "New Year's greetings" from all the officials. Not only the civil servants who had been released to the outside world needed to come back to meet the emperor, but also the generals and commanders who were out fighting or guarding one side also brought blessings and blessings from the border on this day. Congratulations.

The civil and military officials first gave "New Year's greetings" to the Supreme Emperor, and then "New Year's greetings" to Emperor Hongde.

Jia Jing also found that the smile on the Supreme Emperor's face was extremely cordial when facing the New Year's greetings from the military officer Xungui, but he nodded perfunctorily when facing the New Year's greetings from the civil servants.

In terms of rewards for officials after New Year's greetings, the Supreme Emperor Yang Bing was truly polarized.

On the side of Emperor Hongde, the situation is completely opposite.

Seeing this scene, Jia Jing's heart was immediately hammered by the news that the Supreme Emperor controlled the military power and Emperor Hongde controlled the civil servants.

The New Year's greetings are still going on, but in addition to the civil and military officials who will come to pay New Year's greetings, there are also envoys from the vassal states of Da Zhou who will also pay tribute to Da Zhou on this day.

…………

Although it was already afternoon after returning from the palace, the streets of Xichengfang were still very lively at this time.

After changing into casual clothes in the mansion, Jia Jing took Laifu Shuanzhu and was going to visit the temple fair in Xitou Town God's Temple.

Knowing that Jia Jing wanted to go out to play and visit the temple fair, Yingchun, who came to hang out with Jia Jing, suddenly became interested and insisted on going out together.

You must know that in this era when kidnappers are still rampant, wealthy families generally do not allow their young ladies and children to go out to play at lively temple fairs and lantern festivals outside. For example, the maid Xianglian bought by Xue Pan was in At the Lantern Festival, he was taken away by a kidnapper.

And when it is necessary to go out as a last resort, they often bring a lot of servants and servants as caretakers.

In the past, Yingchun's status in the Rongguo Mansion, although she had no worries about food and clothing, but if she had to bring a bunch of family servants out just because she wanted to go out to play, that was unlikely.

So even though Yingchun is at such an age to be married, she hasn't really gone to the busy market to play a few times during the festival.

If my sister had a request, Jia Jing naturally had to agree.

So, I have to go back to the room in Yingchun and change into ordinary casual clothes before going out.

It's just that what Jia Jing didn't expect was that when he went there alone, he came back with a large group.

Seeing the extra extra, Tanchun and Xichun in casual clothes, and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai who also looked excited, Jia Jing felt that her head was getting bigger.

"Sisters, listen to me first. It doesn't have to be today if you go out to play, right?" Bite the bullet, Jia Jing persuaded: "Although the temple fair is lively, after all, there are many people and eyes are distracted. If... ..."

Before Jia Jing could finish speaking, Xichun, the youngest, suddenly jumped out, staring at her big eyes and retorting angrily: "I think it's Brother Jing, you don't want to take us out to play?"

"Eh..." Jia Jing was speechless for a moment.

It has been almost half a month since I came back from Liaodong, and when my sister Yingchun brought a few girls to Jia Jing's study from time to time to chat as guests, the girls were already familiar with Jia Jing, so Xichun was even more unscrupulous at the moment.

"Good third brother, why don't you take us out for a while, I think I came to Shenjing alone from Yangzhou, and I haven't really visited a temple fair yet..."

It was Lin Daiyu who said this. This sick and delicate cousin suddenly acted like a baby, and made such a move to Jia Jing. How could Jia Jing say no?

Lin Daiyu's coquettish behavior completely broke Jia Jing's defenses. Coupled with Xue Baochai's begging look on his face, the two stunning women begged each other, and Jia Jing agreed "reluctantly".

Afterwards, seeing Daiyu Baochai smiling at Tanchun and the other three, Jia Jing had no choice but to smile.

As for the previous worries and scruples, sorry, what is that?Never!

After all, Jia Jing is a Yan Party, a pure Yan Party that is out of vulgar tastes!
Taking the five girls out to play together, Jia Jing and Lai Fushuanzhu alone couldn't take care of them, so Jia Jing summoned thirty guards who had been idle for several days, all of them changed into casual clothes , scattered around a few people, secretly protecting them.

Immediately, the group went straight to the temple fair...

Walking on the streets of the temple fair, Jia Jing was very excited about shopping.

Together with the girls around them, everyone happily started with street snacks, such as candied candied haws, poria cocos cakes, sugar people, preserved fruits, fried chestnuts...

I really want to eat everything, I buy one when I see it, but I can't finish everything.

Jia Jing is fine, her strong physical fitness also brings a larger appetite than ordinary people, plus she went to the palace early in the morning to participate in the Zhengdan ceremony, so she was already too hungry, so it was natural to eat in one bite One, the fragrance is not good.

The two girls Yingchun and Tanchun were also fine. Although they were a little full in the end, they still ate everything they bought.

It was Xichun and Daiyu Baochai who were next to him who were in trouble.

Xichun is young and doesn't eat much; Daiyu is sick and delicate all the year round, with a weak spleen and stomach, and her appetite is not even as big as Xichun's; Meals are a bit casual, and she just had a bowl of lotus seed soup not long before she came out, and there was not much space in her stomach.

Xichun was laughing, deliberately finding fault with Jia Jing, and insisted on giving the snacks that she couldn't eat to her third brother Jing.

But this kind of embarrassment is naturally nothing to Jia Jing whose soul comes from the later earth.

So, regretting that Xichun didn't embarrass him successfully, Jia Jing ate all the things that Xichun stuffed, feeling that his stomach was still not full, and in the astonishment of Daiyu Baochai, he turned around and ate them from their hands very naturally. A lot of snacks were picked up, and then all of them were filled into the stomach.

This made Daiyu and Baochai's faces turn red, but they were not noticed by Jia Jing because they were walking behind Jia Jing.

Afterwards, Jia Jing joked with Xichun: "Hey, I'm only [-]% full now, but I haven't been stuffed to death by someone's snacks!"

"Third brother Jing is a big eater!"

Jia Jing and Xi Chun walked in front, they were laughing and laughing, behind them Daiyu and Baochai looked at Jia Jing's back, with some inexplicable expressions in their shyness.

This scene fell into Yingchun's eyes, and with the scene just now, Yingchun's heart suddenly moved.
