The weaving and dyeing workshops and tea factories resumed work one after another. Feng Yu made arrangements for her work and headed back home. She saw the Zhang family's carriage in front of the mansion. Ginkgo was waiting for her at the second door. "Girl, the wife of the Taichang Temple Shaoqing Zhang family is here."
Visit, the eldest girl and the fourth girl are going to meet the guests."
"I got it!" Feng Yu didn't like the excitement, and she would make excuses to avoid guests at home. Everyone in the capital knew that she was frail and sick, and no one would force her to meet guests.
Mr. Zhang, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, was the father of Zhang Boxing, and was from the same clan as the Zhang family of the Crown Prince and Tutor. Mrs. Zhang came to visit, and it must have been that the eldest sister had similar plans for Zhang Boxing's marriage.
Although Lord Zhang is the Crown Prince and Tutor, Zhang Boxing is from a collateral lineage. He has been born in the fifth service. At most, he is from the same clan. Feng Changlin has more real power than Lord Zhang. The two families are well matched. The eldest lady will choose Zhang Boxing as her son-in-law.
Feng Yu was not surprised. Zhang Boxing performed outstandingly in this rescue operation in the north of the city. He was originally a young and naughty man. If he could calm down and follow Xie Xun to get ahead in the Kyoto Guards, that would be a way out.
Feng Yu went to have dinner with the old lady in the evening. Madam Zhang was indeed here to discuss the marriage of her children with the eldest lady. Feng Wan and Zhang Boxing also knew it. They had met on many occasions and had impressions. The Zhang family meant to wait.
After the Lantern Festival, let the matchmaker come to propose marriage.
"Sister, are you willing?" In Feng Yu's memory, she has never seen Zhang Boxing and Feng Wan have any exchanges. Zhang Boxing and Lin Xiao have a good relationship, and they usually have closer contact with Lin Yuyan, Zhang Jingmiao, Wu Changhuan and others.
"Wan'er said to obey your parents' orders." The old lady chuckled and said, "The Lantern Festival is coming soon, so let them go out more and see each other again."
Speaking of the Lantern Festival, Feng Yu was the happiest, "Sister will be home soon."
Fengyu has three loves in her life: sister, grandmother and money!
The old lady also missed her so much and said with great expectation, "Shu'er wrote to say that she would be home before the Lantern Festival. Today is the 13th, so it should be time to arrive. Maybe there is a heavy snowstorm and I will be delayed for a day or two on the road."
Feng Yu's face was full of smiles. She had sent people to clean the Lanyuan next door, prepared all the food and clothing, and was waiting for Feng Shu to come home.
But when the Lantern Festival arrived, Feng Shu still hadn't arrived home. Feng Yu's expectations were disappointed and she felt depressed.
There is no curfew during the Lantern Festival for three days in a row, and Emperor Jianming is going out to play in the palace, so the city is even more lively. There are lantern festivals, lake tours, and various folk performances, songs, dances and operas, which is particularly lively. Feng Wan and Feng Yao came over for an appointment at noon.
Fengyu went to play together. Fengyu still waited for Fengshu with a glimmer of hope. Until the sun set in the west and snow began to fall, Fengyu still stood under the locust tree in front of the door, looking forward to the direction of the city gate.
Chun Lu and Qiu Xiang felt a little distressed. They were slaves who had grown up with Feng Yu. When they were children, they often sat with Feng Yu in front of Feng Mansion in Ningzhou, looking forward to the return of General Wude and his wife.
Although the war was busy at that time, after all, in Ningzhou, General Wu De and his wife could go home once every three months. Feng Yu would always sit under the tree at the door and wait for their return.
She always waits alone under the tree, looking forward to her relatives returning home.
"Girl, there was a heavy snowstorm a few days ago. The second girl may have been delayed. She will be home tomorrow. Tonight is the Lantern Festival. Let's go watch the lanterns with you."
Feng Yu was sitting under the locust tree, looking aggrieved and her eyes were red, "Sister, I broke my appointment."
The letter from my sister clearly said that she had time to spend the Lantern Festival with her.
A team of fast horses galloped over, splashing the falling snow. The sky was not dark yet. Feng Yu recognized Zhui Feng. Zhui Feng was a bloody horse. He accompanied Xie Xun in the north and south. His whole body was white, except for the mane on his head.
The hair is interlaced with black and white, which makes Chaifeng look handsome and cool.
Today is the Lantern Festival. Emperor Jianming took his concubines out of the capital to visit the lake and have fun with the people. The entire imperial army was dispatched to guard the capital, and Xie Xun also wanted to patrol the city.
Nuanyang saw Qiuxiang and Chunlu and waved on his horse. Qiuxiang pretended not to see them. Xie Xun saw a red figure sitting under the old locust tree at the entrance of Feng Mansion from a distance. He didn't expect it to be Feng Yu.
The sky has set, and the silver-clad Kyoto is not gloomy even in the evening. Feng Yu's fiery red color is particularly bright in the snow. Xie Xun wanted to turn a blind eye, but he tightened the reins in front of her, chased the wind and turned in a circle, stopping at the tree.
Next. Xie Xun is wearing a crimson commander's official robe and a black gold-embroidered cloak. He has sword-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and he is high-spirited.
"Why do you look like an abandoned puppy?"
Feng Yu, "..."
Qiuxiang lowered her head and suppressed laughter. Fengyu's grievances were washed away by his "little dog" words. Nuanyang and several lively guards all laughed. Fengyu couldn't help but accuse, "Sister said she wanted to accompany me to watch the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.
She didn't come home."
"The roads are blocked due to heavy snow, and the official road is difficult to travel. It will probably be delayed for a few days." Xie Xun has better information than Feng Yu. "The lantern festival will be very lively tonight, and there will also be a dragon boat tour on the lake."
"Young Master, do you also want to go to the lantern festival?"
"I want to inspect the city." The snowflakes and sky reflected a glimmer in Xie Xun's eyes, "If the three girls invite you kindly, I will not refuse."
Feng Yu's face was expressionless, "I don't have money to treat you."
Xie Xun laughed loudly, as if spring suddenly appeared, he was unparalleled and joyful. He clapped his horse and left, followed closely by the guards such as Nuanyang and Feiying, who came and went in a hurry.
Feng Yu's ears felt a little hot, and she cursed in her heart. Qiu Xiang asked innocently, "Girl, was the young marquis teasing you just now?"
"No."
"No?" Qiuxiang scratched her head, Chunlu lowered her head and asked with a chuckle, "Girl, do you want to go to the lantern festival?"
"If you have nothing to do, let's go and have a look." Feng Yu declined the invitations from Feng Wan and Feng Jiao, and also declined Fang Lingjun and Princess Xuelan. She was not interested at all, but now she suddenly felt in the mood again.
There are many large and small lantern festivals in the city. If we want to talk about liveliness, Southeast Erheng Street is definitely the liveliest. Both sides of the city river are filled with lively shops, restaurants, art galleries, etc. Almost all the shops on this bustling street are occupied by seven restaurants.
Occupied by a big family, even if it was Feng Yu, there was only one Peony House on this street.
In previous years, the lake was particularly lively, with all kinds of flower boats. The flower boat in Peony House attracted the most attention. The girls were beautiful and fragrant, and performed superbly, winning the first prize every year. This year, Emperor Jianming, his concubines, princes and princesses
We want to go out on the lake. All the flower boats give way, as the river is full of ships of the imperial army.
After Emperor Jianming finished his tour of the lake, the flower boats of each family would set out.
Various stalls have been set up on the street early, including food, entertainment, jewelry, etc. The roadside is full of lanterns, made into various shapes. In the center of the lantern festival is a twenty-foot-high
The giant lamp wheel is decorated with various silks, gold and jade, and there are fifty thousand colorful lanterns hanging from the lamp wheel.
The Kyoto guards set up a cordon outside and did not allow others to approach. The people crowded around and marveled at the mystery of the lantern wheel. There were also various palace lanterns and dragon lanterns in different shapes, including round, square,
All sorts of strange things.
