This morning I saw my grandmother and mother wearing five-color ropes, and I saw Meier picking rice dumpling leaves. Only then did I know that the Dragon Boat Festival was here.

Mother: "An'er, come and see if the five-color rope I knitted will fit." An'er stretched out her hand, and her mother put the five-color rope on An'er's wrist.

An'er: "Mother, this five-color rope is so beautiful." Mother gestured a few times and tied the rope around An'er's wrist.

Grandmother: "I think it's the Dragon Boat Festival, this day of reunion, but I don't know if Qier is doing well."

Mother: "Mom, don't worry too much, she will be fine in the palace."

Grandma: "Oh."

An'er: "By the way, grandma, why don't you see your grandfather and father coming back?"

Grandmother: "At this time of year, officials are allowed to go home for visits, but I heard that this year is different. I heard that Emperor Wu summoned all the vassal kings to return to the palace, saying it was a reunion to chat about family affairs."

An'er: "But does this have anything to do with the Imperial Medical Office?"

Grandmother: "In order to prevent any trouble at the banquet, the imperial doctors will naturally stay behind. By the way, people from the Shangshu Mansion came to send a message this morning and said they would let us pass."

Mother: "Yes, mother. I take the children back every Dragon Boat Festival. This year, mother, you can go with us too."

Grandma: "Me?"

An'er: "Grandma, just go with us. Grandpa and father are not at home. It's not safe to leave you alone, so just agree to An'er..." After much hard work, An'er's grandmother agreed.

So An'er's grandmother, mother, and brother Feng'er drove them to the Shangshu Mansion in a sedan chair. As expected, the Shangshu Mansion was grand, with red lights hanging on the door and a strong festive atmosphere.

The four of them got off the sedan, and Uncle Xiao Zhuoxiao came forward to greet them in person.

Mrs. Han: "I'm really troubling you."

Xiao Zhuo: "In that case, Master Shangshu ordered me to pick you up personally. I wouldn't worry if it were anyone else. Come in quickly. Master Shangshu has been waiting for you for a long time."

Mrs. Han: "Okay, okay." An'er and her mother helped the old lady go in.

When the minister and his wife saw the four people coming in, they stood up from a distance to greet them.

Yuan Shangshu: "My dear relatives have been here for a long time.

He’s gone, but his body is still strong.”

Mrs. Han said: "I am getting older and my health is not as good as before." After saying that, they sat down.

Yuan Shangshu: "Yes, I have prepared a family banquet. Please don't dislike it."

Mrs. Han: "In that case, Lord Shangshu is being polite."

This is when I heard someone trotting in hurriedly, and when I looked closely, I saw it was Yuan Song.

Yuan Shangshu: "Hey, why did your father come back when he was not on duty in the palace?"

Yuan Song: "It's like this. Most of the kings from the previous dynasty have returned to Beijing, and my father has sent more people. As for those of us with junior qualifications, we came back with great success. It happened that my aunt and his family came back, and my father asked me to accompany him."

accompany."

Yuan Shangshu: "That's right. You just happened to be back. I heard that there will be a lantern festival in the evening, so you can take An'er and Feng'er to go shopping."

Yuan Song: "Yes, grandfather." He smiled at An'er.

Yuan Shangshu: "Madam, let's have a banquet."

After that, everyone moved to the lobby, and saw everyone holding meals in their hands and placing them on the table in an orderly manner. The aroma suddenly wafted over them, and the meals were very rich.

Everyone takes a seat.

Yuan Shangshu: "An'er, try these rice dumplings. They are as delicious as those of your Han family."

An'er reached out, took one, and opened the rice dumpling leaves.

An'er: "Grandpa, these rice dumplings are so delicious." She took a small bite with a satisfied expression on her face.

An'er: "Grandpa, these rice dumplings are so delicious."

Yuan Shangshu: "Haha, Feng'er, you should try it too."

Feng'er also tasted one.

Feng'er: "It's very delicious."

Everyone happily finished the family dinner, and Song'er took An'er and Feng'er to the lantern festival.

The Lantern Festival during the Dragon Boat Festival is about reunion and praying for blessings. The streets are filled with lanterns, like a long dragon.

An'er: "The lights on this street are very beautiful."

Song'er: "Yes, the lanterns here are lined up in a row like dragons, praying for peace." After saying this, Song'er walked to a stall, bought a rabbit-shaped portable lantern, and gave it to An'er.

Song'er: "I gave it to you."

An'er is happy

Looking at him: "Thank you, Brother Song, this lamp is so beautiful." But Feng'er rolled his eyes at Song'er.

Feng'er: "An'er, if you like my brother, I'll buy it for you." He said jealously.

Song'er: "I am also An'er's brother. When you come to my place, you should treat yourself as a landlord. Whatever you want, I will naturally satisfy you."

Feng'er: "Really? Then I want this lamp too."

Song'er: "Okay." After saying that, Song'er bought a similar rabbit lantern and gave it to Feng'er.

An'er: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Song'er: "Let's go, there's something ahead, let's go take a look."

After that, the three of them continued walking forward. Suddenly, the sounds of galloping horses and fighting appeared in the calm street. Song'er felt something was wrong, so she hid with Feng'er and An'er.

I saw two people riding horses galloping in front, while people who looked like officers and soldiers were chasing behind them. People on the street were very frightened. They dropped their things and started running around. The scene was very chaotic.

An'er actually got separated from Feng'er and the others.

Song'er grabbed Feng'er and walked among the crowd until he saw the archer and shot an arrow. A man in front was hit by an arrow and fell off the carriage. People were still hiding without a clue, and they saw another man dismounting.

He helped the injured man and ran away.

At this time, I heard the officers and soldiers say: "According to your Majesty's instructions, this man must not be left alive." After saying this, they rode past, and the street temporarily calmed down.

Only then did they regain their composure.

Feng'er: "It's broken, where is my sister?" he said anxiously.

Song'er: "It's bad, maybe we got separated just now."

Feng'er: "What should I do? I don't know who was being chased just now? I'm afraid An'er is in danger."

Song'er: "I seem to have seen it somewhere." He recalled the scene when he and his father were on duty at Xuanwu Gate, and vaguely remembered that this person looked very much like a certain vassal king who came to the palace for a banquet.

Song'er: "Let's look for it separately."

Feng'er: "Okay." After saying that, the two of them split up to look for An'er.
