Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 489 The Lantern Festival

Today's Lantern Festival, Dongshan Temple set up a vegetarian feast and hung lantern riddles. It was first organized by the three eldest grandsons. Unexpectedly, many famous daughters and noble ladies gathered together.

Everyone has an extraordinary status, and everyone comes from a famous family. The worst is probably such a powerful family like the Zhao family in Tianshui. In terms of status, from the outside, the Zhu family is the lowest.

Even though many women present knew Mrs. Zhu and knew that Li Shan was engaged to Mrs. Cui of Qinghe, but except for a few people, few people talked to them.

But such a righteous deed immediately attracted rave reviews... The family members are not scourges, relatively speaking, they like to follow the rules, not to mention that the one protected by the Zhu family is also from the Hongnong Yang family.

Concubine Qi was about to leave, but she was held tightly by the Crown Princess Zheng Guanyin... What happened today seemed to be an offense by the Zhu family, but in fact it has become a dispute within the Hongnong Yang family.

In any case, because of the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty, Hongnong Yang's fame and power rose greatly, but Princess Qi wanted to bully Yang Guang's daughter. It would be a joke to say it.

However, they didn’t have the desire to play lantern riddles anymore. They sat down in the side hall and tasted the vegetarian dishes of Dongshan Temple... At first, Dongshan Temple was famous for the scriptures from the West, but the painting style behind it... because of the lantern riddles, because of Dongshan Restaurant , and Su Zhai, which is already well-known in Jingzhao.

After all, the main material of Su Zhai is soy products, and there are many kinds of soy products... and Li Shan's previous family opened a tofu shop.

"I've seen both sides of Mrs. Zhu before." The plump Yang said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, the house in Yanshoufang..."

Mrs. Zhu nodded slightly. Seeing that she was about to go up the stairs, she supported Mrs. Yang with both hands, "That is my son's new house, and it will be repaired this year."

"That's the place to get married." Yang nodded and smiled: "In the future, we will live next to each other and talk a lot."

Not far away, Mrs. Zhang could not help but frown slightly when she saw Mrs. Zhu diligently helping Mrs. Yang up the stairs. This woman has no prominent status in the Yang family of Hongnong. column, but has no real power.

The daughter Cui Xiaoniang next to her made a deliberate voice, "I just heard that Mrs. Yang is three months pregnant."

"That's true." The Changsun family in the front looked back at Miss Cui, and said with a smile, "It's really a match made in heaven with a quick mind."

The sullen Princess Qi glanced at Miss Cui with dizzy cheeks, and spat in her heart. King Qi once wanted to betroth her cousin to Li Shan, but was politely rejected... Half a year later, Li Shan So he got engaged to Cui Shi.

I don't know who revealed this matter. Yang Shidao, who returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was very angry about this... It's not to blame Li Shan, the celebrity in front of His Majesty, but to blame King Qi and Princess Qi for being a matchmaker.

Zheng Guanyin, the princess at the front, suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Yuwen Shiji sold the house to Li Shan. It turned out that his ex-wife Princess Nanyang became a monk in Dongshan Temple.

Everyone has different ideas, regardless of the position of the husband's family or the mother's family, only the fame of the family, the in-laws and the old friends sat down in the side hall, and tasted the famous Dongshan Vegetarian Restaurant together.

The crown princess's name is Guanyin, so she knows that she is good at Buddhism, and the children of the Zheng family have a close relationship with Buddhism. She glanced at the vivid carp on the plate and frowned slightly.

Princess Qin smiled and said: "It is tied with soybeans, fried in vegetable oil, and then seasoned with seasonings, and finally made into a fish shape."

"It's bitter cold in the north. If you eat vegetarian food, men are fine, but women are unavoidably weak." Mrs. Changsun explained: "After Huairen made Gewürztraminer, it was then infused with skillful hands. It can strengthen the body and not weaken the meat."

"I've heard Qiong Yao's name for a long time."

"Dongshan Restaurant also has this dish, but it's too expensive."

The topic turned around and turned to Li Shan. Zheng Guanyin smiled and said to a young girl: "You have lived in Longxi for a long time, and you have heard of Li Scrutiny?"

The young girl looked like she was married not long ago, and her voice was clear and sweet, "Just now at the foot of the mountain, I heard 'the rain of apricot blossoms wets my clothes, and the wind of willows blows my face'."

Although it is not yet the time for the apricot blossoms to bloom, the apricot blossoms at the foot of the mountain have already partially bloomed, pink, white and tender red, which is too beautiful to behold.

"Zhigui told you." Zhang said, "He and Huairen are best friends."

Changsun whispered in Zhu's ear: "She was born in Tianshui Zhao, married into Wucheng Zhang last year, her elder brother is Zheng's daughter."

In other words, this Mrs. Zhao is Mrs. Zhang's sister-in-law, so she can be regarded as an in-law of the Li family... If you turn around, Mrs. Zheng can also be regarded as an in-law of the Li family.

"Such a poetic talent is really a gift from heaven." Mrs. Zhao looked at Miss Cui, "The article "Ai Lian Shuo" must be passed down to future generations, and it must be a good talk."

"Such a keepsake is enviable!"

"Later generations will know the story of Furong Garden after reciting this article."

Several little ladies who came out to play with their mother sat together, chattering non-stop, whispering, and saw that little lady Cui's head was hanging down to her chest.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Mrs. Cui, "Li Langjun went to the north to take up his post, and there are wonderful articles such as "The Inscription of the Humble Room". I wonder if there are any good works in the near future?"

Miss Cui hesitated for a while. The letter has not been broken for more than a month, but there is no poem or prose. The only poem "A few plum blossoms in the corner, Ling Han opened alone" was sent by her engagement.

At this time, a slightly sharp female voice sounded, "The story of Zhongrong in Nanliang, written by Guo Pusuo, is no longer an idiom."

Those present were all famous ladies who had been familiar with poetry and proses since they were young. Zhong Rong, a writer from Nanliang, commented on Jiang Yan, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, saying that Jiang Yan dreamed that the ancient Guo Pu asked for five-color pens, and he was born After that, it was difficult for Jiang Yan to write a poem. This is the so-called allusion that Jiang Yan was exhausted.

Mrs. Zhu glanced sideways, and sure enough, Princess Qi.

Everyone looked at Princess Qi, and then at Mrs. Zhu who did not change his face. For a while, the lively banquet fell silent.

Zheng Guanyin glanced displeased, Qi Wangfei Yang was spoiled and spoiled since she was a child, because her parents died early, and she had few elders to discipline her, she developed such a temper... In the end, this is just a girl who is not yet 20 years old. As for the little girl, I have to fight for my breath.

Mrs. Zhu didn't bother to answer, and she didn't feel embarrassed. Although she still didn't know where her son's poems came from, just listening to them with her own ears, there were dozens of admirable poems that had not yet been spread.

In the silent hall, the atmosphere was a bit weird, Zheng Guanyin was a little annoyed, but because of the relationship between Qi Wang Li Yuanji and the prince, he couldn't reprimand casually, and was about to wink at Princess Qin, when he caught a glimpse of someone standing up not far away from the corner of his eye .

"Last year ago, bandit Liu ravaged Hebei and poisoned Shandong. The army was defeated, and the enemy rode close to drink horses in the Yellow River."

There was a hint of trembling in her voice, as well as childishness, but the tall and upright Miss Cui looked directly at Princess Qi, "Wucheng fell, and more than a thousand people from all ethnic groups were slaughtered with knives hanging around their necks. If it wasn't for Li Langjun's night attack to defeat the enemy, It's like hell on earth."

"Now, Li Langjun is in charge of the governor of the state, rejecting the Turks from the north, forcing the surrender of more than ten thousand troops, and bringing Shuozhou back to the territory. Even if Jiang Lang's talent is exhausted, what is there to regret?"
