The lord's stunning concubine

Chapter 1719 1744 Folk New Year Customs (4)

The empress dowager's sulking, which was only three points in her heart, suddenly rose to five points, but today's scene is really not easy to attack, she turned her head and glanced at Jing Moxi, Jing Moxi was in a daze, and didn't see her eyes at all .

The Empress Dowager said a little unhappily: "What are you thinking?"

Jing Moxi came back to her senses after hearing the voice of the Empress Dowager, she said softly, "I didn't think about anything."

After she finished speaking, she slightly lowered her head with some guilt, and did not look at the Empress Dowager.

The empress dowager's eyes were a bit unhappy, but she said: "Why do you always look so absent-minded today? Are you really all right?"

"Maybe it's because I didn't rest last night!" Jing Moxi said softly, "I read scriptures to Lord Hou all night last night."

Seeing her dazed look, the Empress Dowager knew that the Marquis of Jinyang was a thorn in her heart. She had already persuaded Jing Moxi for over a hundred times about that matter, but she also knew that no matter how much she persuaded her, it was useless. He sighed lightly and didn't try to persuade him again.

What she didn't see was the complexity and struggle of Jing Moxi when she lowered her head.

Lan Qingqing was talking to Jing Ye, but she didn't care about the appearance of the mother and daughter.

Due to the large number of people today, the table was very big, and the maids and eunuchs had already brought the meals over.

Those dishes are extremely delicate, and it's just a lunch at this time, and it will be even richer at the dinner.

On the side of those meals, there were also some melons and fruits, which were brought up along with the dishes at this time.

When Lan Qingqing saw those melons and fruits, she couldn't help but smile a little, knowing that this is the rule of the royal family, those melons and fruits are so-called cold dishes, but they are also for appetizers, but she doesn't know whether those things have an appetizing effect .

Jing Ye laughed and said: "The custom of Chinese New Year, in the final analysis, comes from the folks. There are only those tricks in the palace to celebrate the New Year. There are also some particularities about setting off fireworks, but it is because of this particularity that it makes this year less enjoyable. You have a taste of the New Year, Qingqing, you are from the folk, so it will be more interesting to celebrate the New Year in the folk, right?"

"It's okay." Lan Qing said with a smile: "The common people's New Year's day is to be auspicious and happy, but when it comes to the happiest children are the children, because apart from having new clothes and shoes to wear, those whose families are not too Good people will prepare chicken, fish, melons, fruits and other things on the day of the New Year. Although the things they prepare are not as exquisite as the royal family, but because it is rare to eat such good things a few times a year, those things It also tastes very sweet, and the adults will not hold back those children at this time, so it looks more like a new year."

Although Lan Mansion was just ordinary people before, their family background has always been considered affluent. In addition, Lan Manor was originally in the weaving business, so there was never a shortage of new clothes on weekdays, and the materials and styles were all Shaoxing. The best in town.

The way she said to celebrate the New Year was what she saw in the farmers' homes in the countryside.

In the early years, the taxation of the imperial court was too heavy, and the lives of the common people were somewhat miserable.

Thinking about it, the past few years have improved a lot, but the Chinese New Year is a big deal for ordinary people, so they must pay more attention to food and clothing than in previous years.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Qingqing has also been in the royal family for two years, so no one knows the difference better than you, right?"
