pear blossoms fall to the end of the night

The origin of the Girl's Day comes from a legend. Hundreds of years ago, the Ming Dynasty was in the midst of famine and war. There were mourning everywhere, and the people complained. An old man, a woman and a child, and a young girl, in order to cure her elderly mother, went up to the mountain alone with a basket on her back to collect herbs. When the girl was collecting herbs, she happened to meet a bandit. The call was fruitless, and she was about to kill herself to keep her chastity, only to see a flash of light in the sky, and a woman with extraordinary talent appeared floatingly, claiming that the flower fairy saved the girl. In Chinese, the ruler of the country cherished his people, so he built a temple for the flower fairy, praying that she would bless the women and children of Ming Dynasty. The Girl's Day is also a festival to worship the flower fairy.

The Daughter's Day begins at Mao time. After dinner, the common people will gather at the altar. The emperor and queen will lead civil and military officials to worship three times and kowtow nine times. The top musicians in the palace will play music on the sidelines. The sacrifice of the Girl's Day is actually another form of prayer, which is not very serious. There are no uniform regulations and requirements for clothing, and the sacrificial activity will not last too long. After the sacrifice, there will be a lantern festival. A ribbon embroidered with flowers is tied on the top, and a flower will be pinned on the head, hoping that the flower fairy can bless you to get a perfect love.

It's just that this year's Daughter's Day seems to be a little different. First of all, this year's sacrificial ceremony, because His Majesty is an empress now, and there is no queen. The one who will accompany His Majesty to sacrifice is the Queen Mother of the current dynasty, who is the mother of King Chen - the concubine Huixian back then , today's Queen Hui.For this reason, the officials of the Ministry of Rituals were also worried. When Zhaohua was still a princess, she was often bullied by other princes and princesses because of her low status as her biological mother. The imperial concubine is the empress dowager, and the title is Hui, and the biological mother Qin is the empress dowager.

One is the biological mother and the other is the adoptive mother, both the benevolence and the benevolence of life and nurturing are equally important, and the court has different views on this matter. Some people suggested that the queen mother go, which is in line with etiquette, and some people suggested that the toffee go. The toffee is the biological mother of the empress. This is in line with the situation.When the two sides quarreled endlessly, it was the concubine who went to the emperor herself, claiming that she was ill and unable to bear the tiring sacrificial activities, and the matter was settled.

Secondly, from the altar to the exit of the Lantern Festival, there are a few more stalls selling masks. There are good (fourth tone) players who find it interesting and don't care about the money, but Ouyang Feishuang spent a lot Time smeared his face, so naturally he didn't want to cover it up, Chu Huairou felt something strange in his heart, hesitantly, he chose a half-covered horse mask.

The peddler who sold the mask looked at Wei Young's undecided look, with a flattering smile on his face, "Miss, if you don't know which one to choose, why not take a look at this one? I spent a long time on this fox mask. made."

Wei Yang saw that the mask was indeed more delicate than the one in her hand, and immediately fell in love with it, "How do you sell this?"

Ouyang Feishuang held her back, "What are you doing with such useless things? Let's leave quickly, maybe we can meet Xiang Jing at the lantern festival."

The peddler smiled and said, "Don't be impatient, lady. There are several mask-selling stalls here. There are only two masks of each kind, and they are sold to a man and a woman respectively. Maybe a man and a woman who are destined will be in the flower shop." Gathering under the protection of the immortals, we will finally accomplish something beautiful."

Ouyang Feishuang put on a cold face, and said with a smile: "Who wants to believe your nonsense, what if the other party is ugly and old? Could it be that this young lady is really unmarried."

Wei Young felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she quickly took out her purse and took out a few pieces of silver and threw it to the peddler, pulling Ouyang Feishuang away, "Sister, don't get angry, we're going to the Lantern Festival."

Ye Weiyi looked at Wei Young in disapproval, and accused: "It's not because you are playful, but because you believed in those nonsense, which made Miss Ouyang angry."

Wei Young looked at her cousin innocently, holding the mask and said pitifully: "Isn't it interesting to see those masks, why don't you buy one for fun."

Ouyang Feishuang also became angry, "When will you not be like a child."

Ye Weiyi smiled flatteringly, "Miss Ouyang, don't be angry, my sister has been like this since she was a child, and she didn't do it on purpose." Then she turned around and asked Weiyang, "Will cousin Qiu come?"

Daughter's Day can also be regarded as Valentine's Day, and men and women who love each other will also meet on this day. In Ye Weiyi's eyes, Wei Young is basically considered half of the Qiu family, so she asked.

Wei Young looked at Ouyang Feishuang, the anger on the other party's face was still not fading, and she felt that it would be boring to accompany her all over the street to find Jing Li, so she lied: "Well, I made an appointment with him to go to the lake Let's meet."

Although Qiu Shaoyuan liked Ye Weiyang since he was a child, and he was often attached to Ye Weiyang, but because Weiyang didn't know about men and women, he only regarded him as an older brother. He didn't like Qiu Shaoyuan, but he didn't dislike him, but since the last time, Wei Young always felt uncomfortable, and recently hid Qiu Shaoyuan a lot.

Ye Weiyi looked at Ouyang Feishuang happily, and said: "Miss Ouyang, Weiyang has an appointment with someone, why don't I accompany you to the lantern festival."

Ouyang Feishuang glanced at Ye Weiyi. Anyway, she is just a little family jade, and she is not a threat, so she nodded and said: "Okay, Weiyang, tell your servant girl to follow closely, so that you don't encounter bad people."

Tao Liu behind Wei Young quickly said yes.

After bidding farewell to Ouyang Feishuang, Wei Yang didn't know where she was going, she looked down at the mask in her hand, gathered her hair and put it on her face, "How is it, Tao Liu, does it look good?"

Tao Liu took a closer look at her young lady, and then laughed out loud, "Miss, this servant thinks..."

"What do you think?" Wei Young's voice suddenly raised, "Do you think it's pretty?"

"My servant thinks...Miss is more suitable for a rabbit." After Tao Liu finished speaking, she lowered her head and smiled, not daring to look at Wei Young.

Wei Young pouted under the mask, obviously very dissatisfied with such an answer, and finally took Tao Liu to see the lanterns, at the lantern festival, besides the lanterns, there are many delicious foods.

In order to avoid Ouyang Feishuang and his group, Wei Young deliberately chose another street - Lihua Lane. The lantern festival was so lively that it was almost shoulder-to-shoulder. At first, Tao Liu could keep up with Wei Young's footsteps, but later she found that her young lady One second, he was pointing at a stall selling sugar-steamed pastry and said he was going there, but the next second, Tao Liu was scattered by the flow of people.

It's too bad, I lost my lady... Tao Liu felt that life was dark, if something happened to Wei Young, ten lives would not be enough for her to suffer.

Wei Young on the other side also said that she was innocent, she just wanted to eat some sugar-steamed crispy cheese, she didn't know where a force came from, and she could only watch herself drift away from that fragrant stall .

There are a lot of people on the Doll's Day, men and women, old and young, all dressed up, hoping to receive the blessings of the flower fairy in the new year, and the fireworks afterwards made people even more excited, the crowd was boiling, One after another flocked to the direction of the fireworks, Wei Young was taken away from the original place abruptly because of her small stature.

After being stepped on several times, and found that she and Tao Liu were lost and lost, Wei Young finally couldn't help crying. In fact, getting lost made her feel scared, but--the uncle on the other side, it's really embarrassing for you to step on someone. It hurts, at this moment, a white figure passed through the crowd, grabbed Wei Young directly, and led her away from the crowd to a quiet place.

Wei Young was dragged away before, only to see that the back of the other party was very tall, dressed as a man, where he walked, the flow of people dispersed to both sides automatically, Wei Young only felt that the white shadow under the moonlight was like a god, and suddenly forgot Breaking free, he didn't notice that he was being led away by a strange man.

"Okay, it's safe here."

The man's voice is very nice, like mellow wine, gorgeous and charming, but...why does it sound familiar, and...why does the other party wear the same mask as himself? !

"You...you...you..." Wei Young pointed at the other party's mask and was speechless.

The man let out a chuckle, and replied: "It seems that I have found the person I was looking for."

After finishing speaking, Jing Li took off the mask, smiled at Wei Young, and was about to take off the mask on Wei Young's face.

"Brother Ziyuan!" Wei Young exclaimed, and then she pressed the mask firmly with lightning speed, "Don't reveal it! Don't reveal it, you and I will act as if nothing happened, you don't know Me, I'm leaving..."

This is so embarrassing!

Jing Li couldn't help laughing, "There is only one person in this world who will call me Big Brother Ziyuan, and that is...you, Ye Weiyang, it doesn't matter if you go, anyway, I have discussed it with His Majesty a long time ago, and it is the same as I wear." The woman in the mask is my wife."

a bolt from the blue! ! !

After finishing speaking, Jing Li took Ye Weiyang's hand and walked towards a high platform, and said loudly: "Everyone, I am Jing Li, the Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty, and I have met the woman I was destined for today. Here, Jing Li swears to the Flower Fairy, I will only love her for the rest of my life, and I will not marry unless it is her!"

Jing Li raised his hand and took off the mask on Wei Young's face, who had already become stupid, and said affectionately to the other party: "There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful, and meeting each other, it suits my wish. Please be a witness, this person beside me The woman is the future prime minister's wife."

As soon as Jing Li's words fell, there was a sound of falling to the ground below the high platform. It was probably a desperate woman. Most of the wind this night was heartbroken.

Early the next morning, Zhaohua issued the imperial decree to bestow marriage, and the father-in-law who made the decree ran all the way from the palace gate to Yefu. When he arrived at the destination, his fair face was covered with sweat.

"By God's favor, the emperor's edict said: I heard that Ye Weiyang, the daughter of Ye Zhou's confidante, is skillful and generous, gentle and honest, and has outstanding appearance. The queen mother and I are very pleased to hear about it. Prime Minister Jingli, when it is suitable for marriage, you should choose a virtuous girl to be with you. Matching. Ye Weiyang is waiting in Yu's boudoir, and she is also the daughter of the flower fairy. She and Jingli can be said to be made in heaven and earth. In order to become a beautiful woman, Ye Weiyang is specially married to Jingli as his wife. All etiquette will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites and Jingli. Qin Tianjian and the supervisor are working together to choose a good day to get married. Qin here."

After reading the imperial decree, the eunuch looked at Weiyang's father Ye Zhou with a smile, "Lord Ye, accept the decree."

Ye Zhou shook his hand holding the imperial decree several times, and asked uncertainly: "Eunuch, did you make a mistake? My daughter... how could she marry the prime minister?"

The eunuch who announced the decree cleared his throat, "Yo, Master Ye, do you not trust our family? Or do you not trust His Majesty? This imperial decree clearly states that your beloved daughter, Miss Ye Weiyang, hurry up Get ready, our family is going back to the palace too, oh...by the way, our family is here to congratulate Master Ye."
