Inheritance policy

Chapter 171
Chapter 170 Shangyuan
The taste of the New Year is often stronger on the first day of the new year, and then stronger on the fifteenth day.

The fireworks in the palace soared into the sky, soaring high, even if it bloomed into a grotesque flower, others could always see the sadness in the sparks.

It can be said that the streets and alleys in the capital city are different when the lights are on, bustling and bustling, with people passing by shoulder to shoulder, and the Beijing dialect with the accent is full of ears. The Beijing dialect is bright and open. It's like hitting the glutinous rice cake hard with a mallet.

It has a warm and sweet fragrance for no reason.

Xing Zhao turned sideways with a smile, the curtain of the car window was so thin that one could see through the curtain that it was already dusk, and there were vendors standing next to each other on both sides of the street. On the bamboo frame, lanterns are lowered layer by layer. Some are painted, some are pasted with plain silk, and some are pasted with paper. They are all lit up, making the sky as bright as day.

"...We're going to cross the Mochou Bridge. The carriage won't let you go after crossing the bridge. When you get off the carriage, the two little girls remember to wear their veiled hats."

It was Brother Huan's voice, and I heard him say, "Do you eat brown sugar glutinous rice balls? The brown sugar glutinous rice balls made by the old Zhao on the bridge are delicious. They are boiled with brown sugar. The skin of the glutinous rice balls is hard and crispy. Once you bite open You can eat black sesame stuffing inside, no sugar is put in the stuffing, the sesame is already fragrant enough.”

Xing Zhao's forehead was sweating.

How could she have been blind and thought Brother Huan was a calm and quiet man?

I heard him talk about the food along the way, whether the tofu flowers next to Congshun Zhenmen are sweet or salty, and when it comes to the brown sugar glutinous rice balls on the Mochou Bridge, she adds up in two lifetimes here. The old bones who have lived in Dingjing for decades did not know that there are so many delicious foods along the way!

Speaking of tofu flower
In order to let her know whether it is delicious salty or sweet, Brother Huan bought a big bowl each, watched her finish it, and then asked her the result. still alive in her belly
"Ah Wu won't eat it!" Xing Zhao made a decisive decision, turned his head and asked Xiao Niang, "Do you want my cousin to eat brown sugar glutinous rice balls?"

Xiao Niang's body tightened, her face froze for a moment, then she waved her hands.

Xiaoniang has always had a carefree personality, and it is rare for her expression to sink. She is always beaming with joy. Her overall temperament is different from that of the little ladies in Dingjing. Saying, "Your cousin said something neatly, and I couldn't help but want to laugh."

A person who can make others happy, if he is not happy himself, what should he do?

Xing Zhao raised his voice and turned back to Brother Huan, "I don't even want to eat it!" He leaned down and shook Xiao Niang's hand lightly, without saying a word.

It was Xing's idea that the juniors went to watch the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival, but Empress Fang agreed very much, ". Send Brother Huan to take care of the two girls. The little ladies in Beijing are living a miserable life. Only one day a year Walk on the road openly, regardless of family status or background, you should go to take a breath."

Turning his back, he passed a letter to ask Fang to prepare his troops and protect them secretly.

Who is it to protect?
Xingzhao raised his head, just in time to see Xiaoniang's heroic eyebrows, and sighed in his heart - Empress Fang didn't trust the emperor at all.

The carriage kicked and stomped, approaching the Mochou Bridge, and the sound suddenly became louder.

Noisy, boisterous, but joyful.

Xing Zhao raised the corners of his mouth, and pulled Xiao Niang to help Qi Wan out of the carriage with a smile.

Lianyu and Lianrong didn't follow, Xing Zhao waved his hand and told them both to go home and have a look. Lianyu's widowed mother lives outside, and Lianrong's family is in Lin'an Hou Mansion, so Lianrong is worried. , Thinking about the meaning again, he swiftly picked up the four-color gift box that Xing Zhao had prepared and slipped away.

After getting off the carriage, the hazy scene in the gauze curtain instantly became clear. The warm yellow lights, the sparkling crimson river, and the lotus-shaped river lanterns floating on the river drifted with the current in twos and threes.

After crossing the Mochou Bridge, those who went back spontaneously walked on the left side, and those who went inside walked on the right side. Brother Huan protected his two younger sisters behind him, and followed the crowd in small steps. , Xing Zhao's eyes widened, almost crying with joy.

People walked next to each other, with the corners of their clothes passing by others, and the little ladies in patched but clean jackets were grinning and talking loudly, holding a lantern in their hands, Or carrying a small lantern, walking in the crowd in twos and threes with soft waists and bright eyes.

Combined with the two lives, Xing Zhao has never had such an experience.

You don't have to worry about who will put a sniper in your back, and you don't have to worry that the person next to you has ulterior motives, and you don't have to worry about taking a wrong step and saying a wrong sentence, and you will fall into the abyss of eternal doom.

She seemed to understand why Queen Fang insisted on letting her and Xiaoniang go out for a walk
The voices were noisy, and Xing Zhao wanted to talk to Xiao Niang, so he had to lower his head and raise the volume of his voice three times louder than usual.

"Actually, we should buy a bowl of brown sugar glutinous rice balls to eat! Walking all the way, we will definitely be hungry again!"

Xiao Niang had never seen such a scene in the northwest, she was overjoyed, she smiled and nodded heavily: "It's okay! After passing this alley, my brother must find something more delicious!"

Brother Huan is like a dog with a keen sense of smell.
Xing Zhao laughed out loud, Huan brother also laughed, and nodded in a daze: "That's right! There is a wonton stall at the entrance of the alley, it's delicious! There are fungus and horseshoe fruit in the wonton stuffing , Shrimp and sea vegetables are added to the soup, it's delicious!"

Brother Huan feels delicious in everything he eats!

Xing Zhao raised his head and couldn't stop laughing. Following the crowd, he finally reached the bank of the river. After a look, he finally found out about it. He reciprocated, stretched out his hand and pointed at each of them, and said with a smile. : ".The lantern building with silk flowers and lanterns and double lotus is owned by Zhongshanhou Liu's family. Their family is in the Dingjing business field. They also do a small business of rouge and gouache, and also do a profitable business of paper and satin. It is Dingjing. The God of Wealth in Beijing!" He pointed to the lantern tower next to it that looked like the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, and after thinking for a while, he said, "That must be the lantern tower of Mr. Li Hubu, and their old lady fell in love with it when they went to the theater. He Xiangu."

Xing Zhao moved his hand to the far right, and Xiao Niang covered her mouth and smiled: "That's from our family! It's made of black gold horsewhip! The craftsman asked and asked how to do it. He was so worried that he couldn't even eat, so Dad said A horsewhip was whipped to the ground, and he said viciously, "This is what a horsewhip looks like, can you see it clearly!", which scared the craftsmen so much that they ate three bowls of rice in a row."

Fang Family Wujin Horsewhip's Lamp Tower.
Uh, how should I put it, it is very unique, and you can see it at a glance
Xing Zhao swears, then you can definitely see a row of flowers and fruits, full of flowers, the Fang family is unique and a whip
But if Xiaoniang didn't say it was a horsewhip, Xing Zhao would have thought that someone had planted a branch of Polygonum multiflorum in the field.

In a flash of skill, Brother Huan came over with a bowl of steaming wontons. Since it was a roadside stall, the bowls and spoons he used must look like roadside stalls. Xing Zhao smiled and held them. Holding the earthenware bowl with the hole open, and Xiaoniang each with a small wooden spoon, they hid under the eaves of the store, puffed their cheeks, and ate while blowing.

I took a bite and put it in my mouth, it was a vegetarian dish, only fungus, water chestnut and diced lotus root, not even the shrimp skin, but it was still extremely fresh—was Brother Huan specially ordered it?
Xing Zhao "huhu" blew away the hot air in his eyes, ate the wontons one by one, and drank the hot soup from the rim of the bowl.

All of a sudden, the throat, heart, and body all warmed up.

Before he put down the bowl, he heard someone behind him calling Ah Wu, Xing Zhao turned his head to look, but it was the second prince coming from the river, the second prince smiled like a blooming flower, and pulled Grabbing Xingzhao's little girl, "Will your aunt be willing to let you out?" He smiled and raised his hand to greet Brother Huan, nodded to Xiaoniang, and looked back, "Why didn't you see the old man?" Six?" Before Xing Zhao could reply, he quickly turned the subject and put his shoulders on Brother Huan's familiarity: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat pork knuckles. The Duke of Jin's family has been a bit uneasy recently. Let me tell you while eating?"

One sentence changed three themes, and finally fell on gossip!

The second prince's disrespect towards his parents is true love.
He must have been a storyteller in a teahouse in his previous life.

Xingzhao raised his face and smiled, straightened the little scorpion that was being pricked, blessed his body, and only answered his last words: "Jiang just finished eating wontons, drank tofu flowers, and ate soy sauce elbow, so tired !" Turning her head and looking back, Empress Fang didn't invite Huanyi or the sixth prince, after all, she was from the blood of the Tian family, so she couldn't bear the slightest mistake, not to mention that the incident in Jiangnan's officialdom was not over yet, Xue Rong started Water, if the south of the Yangtze River is flooded again, the emperor's anger will not be relieved if the officials throw themselves into the river one by one.

Once the sixth prince got involved in this matter, he didn't even return to the Chonghua Palace for a few days, so how could he come out to look at the lights?
Who is the person who came to look at the lamp with the second prince?
Xing Zhao pursed his lips, and raised his hand to hold Xiao Niang: "Are you just here to watch the lantern? Don't you feel bored?"

The second prince tiptoed around, laughing loudly and laughing loudly: "How can that be! If you call for friends, you can always find someone to watch the lights together! You guys have fun! If there is a curfew, you can take my sign and go back to the palace!"

Xing Zhao was silent for a moment, and then leaned out half of his body to look behind the second prince. The figure surrounded by the servants in the center was clearly Miss Shi Jiating.

A man's heart of stone will eventually be turned into pity by his daughter's soft heart. What happens after pity?
Xing Zhao sighed in his heart, the world is unfair to women, so why are there so many of them?
When he was driving back to the palace in a carriage, Xing Zhao saw a lantern hanging high on a bamboo stand through the gauze curtain.

Lonely pen and ink, wild geese return.

Lianyu and Lianrong returned to the Guiyi Pavilion early in the morning, and Lianrong whispered a few words to her colleagues, but before Xingzhao could respond, a small palace official came in with a lantern and said It is "it was sent by the Chonghua Palace for the Lord Wenyang to play with"

As soon as Xing Zhao raised his head, he saw the few strokes of wild geese on it.

This was clearly the lantern that finally fell into Xing Zhao's eyes.
