Chapter 225
Seeing the exhaustion on the Queen's face, Li Shasha knew that she had also gotten up early and worked so hard today, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Zheng.The queen didn't force her to stay, so she sent Chunyan, who had just sent them over, to send them out. Because there were more rewards this time, she also sent two servants to follow behind with the rewards.

Chunyan and the two walked towards the gate of the palace talking and laughing, because the queen left them to talk for a while, the ladies who came to the palace to celebrate the New Year have all left the palace, and on the way back There are not many people left.It was already dawn, so Li Shasha had the opportunity to look at the palace.I saw red walls and yellow tiles along the way, and carved beams and painted buildings on every palace gate.Although Li Shasha was in poor health in her previous life and had never actually been to the Forbidden City, there were no photos of the Forbidden City on TV or in magazines.So it's not a surprise, it's just that the TV and photos are still not as shocking as being there.

After finally arriving at the gate of the palace, Chunyan directed the servants to load all the things into the Zheng family's carriage, and Li Shasha gave each of the servants a purse of five taels of silver, and they all waved goodbye to them happily.Old Zheng and Zheng Xianzhi had been waiting at the gate of the palace for a long time, and they came closer when they came out. Mrs. Zheng and Li Shasha got into the carriage, and he rode the horse and led the carriage back first.

They didn't even notice that there was a palace lady in a blue palace dress following them all the time. Seeing that they all got into the carriage, they went to the harem resentfully.She went to Chuxiu Palace without stopping, where Concubine Tang Shu lived.At this time, she was anxiously circling around in the palace room waiting for the news of the maid in blue, and finally heard the report from outside: "Your Majesty, Sister Hu Po is back!" Concubine Tang Shu suddenly raised her head when she heard this: "Call her in quickly! "

Hu Po lowered her head and bowed to Concubine Tang Shu, and Concubine Tang Shu waved her hand: "You don't have to be polite, you can find a chance to attack if you follow them?" Hu Po looked up at Concubine Tang Shu's expectant expression, although she was very reluctant, But I can only shake my head: "Concubine Shu, it's not easy to start today. Chunyan from Kunning Palace is the second most popular person in front of the empress. It was sent to the carriage outside the palace. The slaves followed all the way, but they never found a chance to strike."

Concubine Tang Shu closed her eyes in disappointment, then opened her eyes angrily again, took a step forward and swept everything on the table to the ground.There was only a crisp sound of broken porcelain, and Hu Po hurriedly shouted to the outside: "It's okay, the empress dropped a cup by mistake."

Concubine Tang Shu let out her anger, and sat on the couch panting for breath: "Hu Po, what can you do to make me vent this anger?" Hu Po thought for a while, then leaned into Concubine Tang Shu's ear and whispered a few words.Concubine Tang Shu immediately turned from anger to joy when she heard this, and nodded with a smile.

Mother Rong finally waited in the car for the two of them to get into the car, and pushed the charcoal basin to their feet.Mrs. Zheng loosened the cloak and started toasting her hands in the charcoal basin.Mother Rong grabbed Li Shasha's hands, but felt that the hands were cold, so she wrapped her hands with her own and rubbed them non-stop.After a while, Li Shasha's hands finally warmed up.

After a quick walk in the palace just now, his body doesn't feel cold, and he is still slightly sweating.But once he stopped, his hands and feet started to get cold.After walking for a while, the carriage stopped, and she heard the voice of housekeeper Zhu outside: "Old lady, princess, please get out of the car!" Only then did Li Shasha realize that she had arrived home.

Mother Rong got out of the carriage first, and helped Mrs. Zheng down beside the carriage.When Li Shasha raised the curtain and went out, she saw that Lao Zheng and Zheng Xianzhi had already dismounted from their horses and their parents were waiting for her at the gate of the house. Waving, surrounded by a group of maids and women.Seeing that they had all come down, the whole family walked in bustlingly.

When they arrived at the main courtyard, Lei Guozhen nodded at the girl, and there was a woman outside who brought hot food into the room.When Li Shasha entered the room, the food on the table in the main room had already been set. Although some things were made up in the morning, they had already been consumed by now.Seeing the table full of food, Li Shasha couldn't help swallowing.

Mrs. Zheng greeted everyone to be seated, and then said with a smile: "Okay, it's the first day of the new year, and I'm going to trouble everyone to wait for us to eat!" Lei Guozhen also smiled and replied: "That's as it should be, mother, you It's just too polite!" Li Dehe had already adjusted his mentality, and first raised the wine glass in his hand: "Everyone didn't drink yesterday, so we didn't have a good time. Today, you guys have to open your stomach and have a good drink! Come on, I Let's do it first!" Everyone raised their glasses and drank.

As soon as the wine entered her mouth, Li Shasha realized that it was wine made by herself in the space.The alcohol content is not high, she just thinks it is similar to drinking sugar water.Today's lunch included home-cooked dishes brought from Li's Village, as well as swallow, abalone, fin and ginseng bought by Steward Zhu in Beijing.It's rare that it's so rich, everyone's mouths are full of oil.Li Shasha felt a little uncomfortable, and remembered the black tea she bought at Li Yulan's.Hastily asked the girl to go to the warehouse to fetch black tea and boil a big pot, and everyone drank a little to digest.

Because she didn't have any relatives in Beijing, Li Shasha called Butler Zhu again.Butler Zhu bowed to greet everyone, and Li Shasha asked, "Butler Zhu, this is our first time in Beijing, so can you tell us what's interesting in Beijing during the period from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year? "

Butler Zhu thought for a while: "There are temple fairs from the first to the nineteenth day of the first lunar month, such as Dongyue Temple Fair, Du Chenghuang Temple Fair, Baita Temple Fair, Huguo Temple Fair, Longfu Temple Fair, Changdian Temple Fair, Dazhong Temple Fair, etc. There are Baiyunguan temple fairs and so on. There will be many small merchants and hawkers gathered in these places, there will be special snacks in Beijing, and many jugglers and practicers. Of course, the most lively one is the city on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month And going on tour means carrying out the Buddha statues in various temples and loading them on floats, and there are guards of honor and deacons embracing them. Some temples even let real people act as various Bodhisattvas and go on a float tour. The viewers are like the tide and the sea. In addition to the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day, it can be said to be the busiest day of the year."

Hearing his introduction, Li Shasha felt like a cat scratching her heart, wishing that today would be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.It has been almost four years since I came here, and the really lively thing is going to Yan County to watch the Lantern Festival. Now that I am in Beijing, the scene must be even more lively.No, tomorrow morning I will take Li Lingling and Dani to watch the temple fair together, it is best to go to one a day, so I should be able to watch it by the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.Thinking of this, she settled down and chatted with her family.

After returning to Chonghuaxuan in the evening, Li Shasha asked Mother Rong, who had been with her for a long day, to go back to the room to rest, and she took Li Lingling and Dani to her room to discuss how to arrange the daily itinerary for the temple fair. Made an itinerary.It was only at the end that Dani reminded Li Shasha that it was better to take Lao Zheng and Zheng Xianzhi out together, otherwise it would be bad if there were too many people.It was originally happy, but don't become sad.

According to the itinerary discussed the day before, from the second day onwards, Li Shasha and Zheng Xianzhi led Li Lingling and Dani to the various temple fairs in the capital.It really is much better than the one in Yan County, and the temple fairs in every place are better than those in Yan County in terms of people and things.Li Shasha and the others didn't feel tired at all and ran around the major temple fairs in the capital. The candied haws and windmills they bought every day filled a room, and Zheng and Lei Guozhen shook their heads.

Finally, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the busiest day. According to the itinerary, today I will go to Baiyun outside Xibianmen to watch the Lantern Festival and watch the tour.Li Shasha got up early in the morning, first called Li Lingling and Dani in her yard, and then ran to Anyi Hall to grab Zheng Xianzhi who was still lying in bed.

After they had eaten and drank enough, they packed up before going out.A very inconspicuous black-painted flat-topped carriage was parked at the second gate, and several people got into the carriage. Zheng Xianzhi also became lazy today and stopped riding a horse, curled up in the carriage and slept all the way.Because Lao Zheng accompanied several aunts to the temple fair for a few days, he had an excuse to never come again.Li Shasha reckoned that Lao Zheng would show up at their house after the temple fair was over.At this time, I can't care about him anymore. Today, I have to go to Baiyun to watch the Lantern Festival no matter what. According to Butler Zhu's introduction, Baiyun Temple's tour is the most beautiful and has the most people.What Li Shasha was thinking at this time was how to get there early and occupy the most lively place to see the excitement.

Lei Guozhen sent a few servants from the mansion to follow the carriage on horseback. After walking for a while, they arrived at the West Bianmen. Li Shasha opened the corner of the carriage curtain and looked out. The West Bianmen was really a Bianmen. The gate tower is only a little over ten meters.Compared with the Chaoyang Gate that I went to a few days ago, it is almost two-thirds shorter.The city tower is a single-story Shanxieshan small style, with a gray tube and tile roof, which looks a little dusty.

When we got to the gate of the city, there was still a traffic jam, because there were too many carriages and pedestrians leaving the city, Li Shasha could imagine how crowded Baiyun Temple was.The carriage stopped and went, and finally arrived at Baiyun Temple.Li Shasha shook Zheng Xianzhi, who was still snoring, Zheng Xianzhi finally woke up, rubbed his eyes, and couldn't figure out where he was.Li Shasha had no choice but to shout at him: "Brother, we have arrived at Baiyun Temple! You go down first!" Zheng Xianzhi lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage in a daze.

As soon as he went there, he was frightened by the people of Baiyun Temple. He could only see crowds of people everywhere, so he wanted to climb into the car and go home.Unexpectedly, as soon as she put her hands on the side of the car, she was so frightened that Li Shasha let go of her hands.
