I'm watching the gate in the jail
Chapter 98
Standing behind Wan Lan, holding his fluffy rabbit ear hat with a smile, who else would be besides the current crown prince Zhu Youtang.
Zhu Youtang didn't wear the prince's robe today, but was dressed as a young son of a rich and noble family.
The upper body is wearing a moon-white gauze lining, a small red peony brocade gown, white ribbed trousers, and a pair of crow-blue shoes studded with pearls.Wearing a small red hood, he is as cute as a boy walking out of a painting.
It just so happened that Wan Lan was also wearing a red Taoist gown today, a white rabbit hat on his head, coupled with his pompous expression, he looked like a clay sculpture of a rabbit master.
"Why is my brother here?"
Seeing Zhu Youtang, Wan Lan jumped up happily.
He looked up again, and when he saw the adults standing behind Zhu Youtang, he couldn't help but put his two small hands on his mouth, his eyes widened, and he blinked wildly.
"Why, Ah Lan saw me...Uncle and your aunt, aren't you happy?"
Zhu Jianshen slapped the tortoiseshell bone sprinkled golden folding fan in his hand smartly, half bent down, and stretched out his hand to grab Wan Lan's rabbit ears.
"It feels good to the touch, and it's actually made of real rabbit fur."
Zhu Jianshen turned his head and said to the smiling Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er, who left the palace with their father and son today, is also dressed as a folk lady.
On his head was a di bun with a precious golden thread hairpin, and a golden phoenix hairpin was inserted into it. The phoenix held a string of pearls the size of rice beads in his mouth, and he walked tremblingly.She was wearing a lotus-colored long golden jacket with makeup, and underneath was a jade-colored skirt woven with dark patterns, which looked rich and not vulgar.
Wan Zhen'er was originally a sassy beauty with fair skin, high nose bridge, and elegant temperament. Standing in the "Xinghaihui" full of bright lights, she looked like a fairy in the moon palace.
From the moment she and Zhu Jianshen were surrounded by people and walked into the gate of "Xinghaihui", there were countless pairs of amazing eyes cast on them.
After seeing the handsome husband by her side and the cute little son with him, I envied this lady's good fortune even more.
Wan Zhen'er watched Zhu Jianshen grab Wan Lan's rabbit ears with a childlike innocence, and picked up the other one with a smile.
"It's very soft. Who made it for you? If you put straws in it, wouldn't it be able to stand up? It's exactly the same as the real General Rabbit. That would be fun."
Saying that, he and Zhu Jianshen looked at each other and smiled.
So, just after finishing greetings with Ji Siye and the others upstairs, Wanda, who was walking down the stairs, saw his son Wan Lan before he reached the bottom of the first floor, and was grabbed by two "rabbits." ears", with a look of shock that seemed to be sleepwalking.
The one who grabbed his ear, the man and the woman who were talking, were none other than the current Holy Majesty and the Imperial Concubine.
And standing next to Wan Lan, the rich and noble brother who was covering his mouth and smiling at him was the little prince!
How could the most valuable family in the Ming Dynasty appear in the restaurant he opened?
"Guanghuai, am I dreaming? Is it a dream?"
Wanda's feet softened, and he held on to the railing of the stairs, turned his head and asked Yang Xiuxian who was standing beside him in a daze.
"I've never heard of it... Not only His Majesty, but also the prince and empress..."
Yang Xiuxian shook his head subconsciously, with an expression of disbelief.
The expressions of Gao Hui and Qiu Zijin who followed behind them were even more indescribable.
"Wang Zhi, he came in..."
Qiu Zijin stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed at Wang Zhi who had just stepped into the gate of the restaurant.
I saw that Wang Zhi was holding all kinds of things in his hands, which were all kinds of festive gadgets sold at the stalls at the temple fair opposite.
What lotus lamps, lotus leaf lamps, red pomegranates, pineapple persimmons, moon palace paintings, hairpins of various colors, colorful sachets and three or five folding fans.There are also various books, pens and inks in the study, and various scrolls. I don't know if they are calligraphy or pictures.
If Wang Zhi couldn't hold it, he let the father-in-law Tan Chang who followed him and dressed up as a family servant carry it.
If Eunuch Tan couldn't carry it, he let the guards behind him carry it.
Looking at the large and small bags in the hands of more than a dozen imperial guards behind, it seemed that they had swept up half the street.
It turned out that this family of three not only brought the palace people out of the palace in micro-clothes, but also visited the night market opposite before arriving at his "Xinghaihui"!
Everyone is so assured of the security of the capital, as the commander of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, I am really grateful.
"Your Majesty... brother-in-law, sister."
Wanda took a deep breath, walked in front of them, and bowed to Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er smiled and let go of the hand holding Wan Lan's rabbit's ears, and said with a smile, "Brother, it's really lively here, as expected of the 'No. [-] Building in the World'."
"uncle."
The little prince obediently stepped forward to bow to Wanda.
"Hey, good, good..."
Wanda smiled awkwardly, and touched the prince's little head.
On weekdays, he needs to give the crown prince the courtesy of a courtier first, but now he is not used to it.
"Did you find someone to make this hat for Ah Lan?"
Zhu Jianshen pointed to the rabbit ear hat.
"Um……"
Wanda has not yet recovered from the shock, so she was a little slow to answer.
"Make one for us, Ah Tang."
Zhu Jianshen said domineeringly.
"Father...Father!"
Zhu Youtang happily looked at his emperor Lao Tzu.
Very good!
As soon as he saw this hat just now, he liked it very much, but this is brother A Lan's property, so he can't snatch it.
Unexpectedly, the royal father actually guessed his little thoughts...
Zhu Youtang walked back to Zhu Jianshen's side, and hugged the emperor's thigh emotionally.
Dad is so nice!
"Tsk..."
Seeing this scene of "Father's kindness and son's filial piety", Wanda's sour teeth were about to fall out.
He glanced at the things in Ah Zhi and Qin Chang's hands, and understood that today's brother-in-law rarely took his wife and son out of the palace, and he set up a persona of a local tyrant who spends money like water.
So he didn't care about it with him, and agreed.
"Let's go! I've heard that Uncle Xiaolang's restaurant is all-encompassing. Take Zhen'er and me to have a look."
Minister Wan rarely leaves the palace, so he must let her have fun.
Zhu Jianshen half turned his head and raised his arms.
Wan Zhen'er immediately took a step forward, hooked her husband's arm, and grinned - since she has already left the palace anyway, let's just treat herself and His Majesty as an ordinary folk couple.
There is a rule that the concubine must walk behind the emperor, it doesn't hurt to take a break today.
Wanda felt that her teeth were even more sour today.
Seeing that the emperor and the imperial concubine were about to go upstairs, Zhu Youtang looked back anxiously at Wan Lan, and said anxiously, "Father, my son wants to play downstairs with Brother A Lan." .”
Downstairs, apart from Mr. Rabbit, there are so many children and all kinds of toys.
Zhu Youtang grew up so big, he had never seen more than a hundred children get together, so he was willing to leave like this.
Zhu Jianshen, who had already walked up the steps, turned his head, looked at the commoner children who looked at him and Wan Zhen'er enviously, thought for a while, and said to Wang Zhi, "You stay below and look at Ah Lan and Ah Tang. Don't let them bully people."
Wang Zhi gladly accepted the order.
After all, he himself is a half-grown child, and he also wants to take a closer look at the "treasure" of the eldest son of the emperor.
"Brother, come and see, these are my collection."
Seeing that the adults had all left, Wan Lan was like a monkey descending the mountain. She grabbed Zhu Youtang's little hand and pulled him to the front of the "stand", pointing at the dazzling "Rabbit World", proudly Said, "Gong... There are so many rabbit masters in your family, are they so beautiful?"
"Not so many, not so many varieties...It's so beautiful, it's really so beautiful."
Standing on tiptoe, Zhu Youtang raised his head and squinted his eyes at these various rabbits, wishing he could shrink into a small rabbit and join their ranks.
Seeing this, the other children behind him also leaned on the table, staring at these smart little rabbits.
When the night wind blew, the flags and flags planted behind the rabbits moved slightly, and it was even more lifelike, which made the children fascinated by watching it.
Wanda led Zhu Jianshen to the best box on the third floor.
Today, the windows on the east and west sides of all boxes are open, and you can see the full moon rising from the outside, and you can see the big stage in the center of the first floor from the inside.
It is said that all the famous actors in the opposite building are playing here today, and they will all be presented one by one in a while.
Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er took their seats, and when they saw that everyone in the room, including Wanda, was standing still, they couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Are you still going to stand all night? Yang Qianhu, Mr. Qiu, Sit down."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Qiu Zijin waved his hands hastily.
Just kidding, more than ten years ago, His Majesty went to Fusi Dining Hall in Beizhen for a private visit, and the painful memory of eating the "Golden Jade Cake" that he had been waiting for for a long time was still deeply engraved in his mind like a knife and an axe. .
How dare he sit and dine with His Majesty.
What's more, there is one more empress today...
Speaking of which, this was the first time that Qiu Zijin had seen the rumored Concubine Wan Gui. He felt that she was very graceful, amiable, elegant and noble, and people couldn't help but feel respect... Why is Master Wan, who is like a monkey, a relative?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Wanda one more time, and then at his empty right side - this high meeting is also the same, after following Master Wan for a long time, he has learned to cheat more and more.
Just now he actually said that his wife and two children came to "Xinghaihui" to play, and that their family was going to reunite in the building today, and after they pleaded guilty, they slipped away with oil on their feet...Leaving him an "outsider", come Facing the first family of Ming Dynasty, it is really hateful!
"Sit down, don't hold back, just treat it as a 'family banquet'."
Zhu Jian smiled deeply and waved his hands, "If you follow the etiquette in the palace, Zhen... what am I going out of the palace to do, the moon in the palace is not round enough, or is the mooncake not delicious?"
Seeing that the emperor had said so, everyone was embarrassed to refuse, and they all confessed their crimes in a low voice, and then sat down according to their official positions.
Wanda naturally sat on the left hand side of the emperor. He glanced at Qiu Zijin, who was alone in the last seat opposite him, and said to Zhu Jianshen flatteringly, "Since it's a festival today, you don't have to follow the usual rules. Brother-in-law, why not?" How about calling Xiao Qian out too? Let him celebrate the festival with us too."
To say that Mei Qianzhang's health is really good, last time they were both injured almost at the same time, and it took him about a month to recover, while Mei Qianzhang woke up that night.
After a few days of recuperation in Beizhen Fusi, he returned to the palace and returned to the palace. His vitality was so tenacious that it was comparable to Xiaoqiang.
Qiu Zijin raised his head abruptly when he heard this - he hadn't seen Mei Qianzhang for a month since he left after recovering from his injury.
Although the plums and notes on the window sill were still delivered daily, as two lovers who had just confirmed their intentions, it was too painful not to see each other.
"It makes sense. It's hard to have a reunion festival, and we can't let Mei Qian and Zhang Guang watch us happy."
As Zhu Jianshen said, he raised his hand and patted his palms.
After three high-fives, a figure floated up from downstairs.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Empress and all the adults."
Mei Qianzhang, still wearing a mask, knelt on one knee and said.
Qiu Zijin was so excited that he half straightened up.
"You don't have to be polite, just get up and sit down."
Zhu Jianshen looked at the vacant seats, pointed to the vacant tail seat next to Qiu Zijin and said, "Sit at the bottom of Chief Qiu."
Mei Qianzhang had been protecting Wanlan downstairs just now, and came up only after hearing His Majesty's high-five. Hearing what Zhu Jianshen said, she was a little lost for a while, and looked in the direction of Wanda in surprise.
"If you are told to sit, you can sit. Today is your holiday. Sit down with everyone to eat and watch a show. You are the youngest official, and you won't feel wronged sitting next to Mr. Qiu."
Wanda took a funny look at Qiu Zijin, who was rarely so happy, and nudged Yang Xiuxian who was sitting on his right side with his elbow.
Yang Xiuxian kicked him under the table calmly, reminding him not to be too ostentatious, lest extreme joy turn into sorrow.
Zhu Jianshen noticed all these little tricks.
He sneered softly, secretly laughing that finally someone in this world can control this monkey like Uncle Lang, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman.
When these two are together, he still feels that he has wronged Mr. Yang, who has been in Jinyiwei for generations.
Mei Qianzhang held her breath, walked to the left side of the seat next to Qiu Zijin, and sat down in disbelief with almost sleepwalking steps.
"Master Qiu, last time Mei was injured, I would like to thank Mr. Qiu for taking care of me all the time. Thank you very much."
Mei Qianzhang picked up the teacup placed in front of the table, "Mei used tea instead of wine, thank you here."
Qiu Zijin didn't dare to show his happiness too clearly in front of the two nobles, so he pretended to calmly pick up the teacup and clinked it with Mei Qianzhang.
The backs of the fingers of the two touched together inadvertently, and then quickly separated.
After drinking the tea and putting down the quilt, Qiu Zijin touched his index finger with his thumb, feeling numb.
He raised his eyes to look at Mei Qianzhang calmly, and found that the other party was also staring at him, his face blushed and his heart beat like a drum.
"Okay, let's serve the appetizers first!"
Wanda told the buddy waiting outside the door, "Let's play."
With the sound of "kuang kuang" gongs and drums, a man in a red brocade robe, a black gauze hat with red wings on his head, and a white mask on his face jumped onto the stage.
He stepped on almost half-drunk steps, twisted his buttocks amidst the sound of gongs and drums, and while doing humorous dances, he said witty and auspicious words, flying all over the venue.
Those children who were standing in front of the Rabbit Master's booth were all attracted, and gathered around the front of the stage, watching his funny performance.
Wang Zhi was afraid that these children would crowd the two princes, so he separated them with his body.
Zhu Youtang also watched the play with Wan Zhener and the Queen Mother in the palace, but as usual in the palace, there was no such "jumping and adding officials" before the official show in the palace - all the people watching the show were the emperor's concubines, and there were no "officials" Can be added.So this was the first time he saw this kind of singing, dancing, and gag performance, so he couldn't help watching it with relish.
Moreover, these folk actors are much more open-minded than those from the Shengping Bureau in the palace.A witty remark made the children laugh out loud, and Zhu Youtang and Wan Lan also clapped their hands together.
"I also have a mask at home, which looks much better than his."
Wan Lan lowered her head, leaned close to Zhu Youtang's ear and said, "I'll show it to you when you come back to the Baron's Mansion."
Zhu Youtang clapped his hands and nodded uncontrollably.
"Brother Xiaoqian also has a mask. Next time I will let you meet my brother Xiaoqian, he is very skillful."
Wan Lan added.
When Wang Zhi heard this, his heart moved.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's rare that His Majesty and the others have come out to reunite with Susu and A Lan, and I don't know if my real brother is there.If he is here, doesn't it mean that our brothers can also get together today?
Thinking so, he involuntarily looked towards the open box on the third floor.
Then I saw the familiar figure accompanying him on the tail seat.
Wang Zhi raised his hand in disbelief and wiped his eyes.
"No...is it my eyesight?"
Mr. Tang, who was standing up, holding the jug, and preparing to pour wine for Ji Siye, looked at the big box on the north facing their table. Wang Zhi, who was on the same floor, also showed an incredulous expression. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
"No, no, it's impossible...I haven't drunk too much, how is this possible?"
Master Tang put down the jug, leaned his body almost out of the railing, and stared at it with wide eyes.
"Old Tang, all the students are here, what are you doing?"
Although you can be a little more presumptuous when talking about festivals, you still look like a teacher in front of the teachers and students. Ji Siye quickly grabbed him and tried to pull him in.
"Master Si Ye, look over there—"
Ji Siye followed Mr. Tang's trembling fingers, narrowed his dim eyes, and looked at the opposite van.
"Look, that young man sitting at the top. He, is he the Holy One?"
Director Tang's voice was trembling.
There was a group of people sitting in the van opposite, among them the two adults of Jin Yiwei were most familiar with them.There is also Qiu Zijin who seems to be the proud student of their Guozijian, the first Tanhualang in the first year of Chenghua, and now the head of the Criminal Department.As teachers, they will never forget this outstanding student.
As for the young man sitting on top of Mr. Wan, this... no matter how you look at it, it looks familiar.
Although the holy face can only be seen during the regular court meeting and the three-year imperial examination competition, Tang Zhuzhu still recognized at a glance that the young man with extraordinary demeanor, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, was Zhu Jianshen. Your Majesty.
How could His Majesty be in such a place?Isn't there a festival and admiration for the moon in the palace today?
Ji Siye was also surprised when he saw Zhu Jianshen's face.
But at this moment, as the actor Jinji who "jumped into the official" downstairs stood alone on the table covered with red cloth, he opened the red-bottomed gold-sprinkled banner with the words "World Peace, Kyushu Reunion" in his hand, and tied it on the red cloth. The two large colored balls on both sides of the ceiling were pulled apart forcefully at the same time.
Two long five-colored ribbons fluttered under the colored balls, and countless pieces of colorful colored paper poured down from the opened colored balls.
Suddenly, this colorful "snowflake" floated in the entire building.
Not only that, there are also small sugar balls wrapped in colored paper in the colored balls.Like rain, it "crackled" and sprinkled on the stage.
"Impossible, you are dazzled, impossible thing."
Two dangling big flower balls blocked the sight of the two of them, Ji Siye waved his hand, and pulled Mr. Tang back to his seat.
Didn't you see that there was a lady next to the young man?
If he is His Majesty who is visiting privately in a micro-clothes, is it possible that the Empress will also go out of the palace with him?
funny!
Sure enough, I am very happy today, "Everyone gets drunk when wine is not drunk".
The two sat down and began to accept the toasts from the teachers and students in turn, and then threw this episode out of the blue after a while.
"Brother, eat candy. These are made by my cook, they are delicious."
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ah Lan turned onto the stage, quickly found several candies from the paper scraps, peeled them off on the spot, and stuffed one into Zhu Youtang's little mouth.
"It's sweet. It's minty."
Zhu Youtang licked his mouth and found that his mouth was cold, and said in surprise.
"Yeah, there are also watermelon flavors, citrus flavors, and milk flavors. My father thought of it and asked the cook to make it. My father is amazing."
As Wan Lan said, she peeled off a nougat and threw it into her mouth.
"Uncle is awesome."
Not to be outdone, Zhu Youtang put his hands on the edge of the stage, tried his best to straddle his short legs, and turned his head upwards.
Seeing this, Wang Zhi simply picked him up and put him on the stage.
Seeing them like this, the rest of the children also climbed onto the stage and picked up the candy balls.
"Kyushu enjoys joy, all people rejoice. On this festive occasion, I wish the Ming Dynasty a long life, long live your majesty! All your mothers, live a thousand years and a thousand years!"
The players standing on the table continued to perform completely unaffected by the children.
After all, he faced north and bowed deeply towards the direction of the palace.
"I wish the Ming Dynasty a long life and a long life, Your Majesty! A thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, every lady!"
Except for the little kids on the ground who were busy picking sweets, everyone present, whether it was the people in the east of the city who were scattered in the hall, or the dignitaries in the private room and the teachers and students of the Imperial College, all stood up together. Come, say it in unison, and toast to the north.
Especially those ordinary people who lost their homes were full of gratitude, and some old people even shed tears of excitement.
Originally thought that this festival of family reunion would be difficult for them to pass this year. It is said that some families were ruined, and some families with only orphans and widowed mothers even thought about jumping into the river before the festival.
Who knew that today I could walk into this glorious place and eat delicious delicacies that I couldn't even dream of, it was even more like a dream.
The most important thing is that the official from the Ministry of Industry who stood at the door to check the population just now told them that in the middle of next month, they can gradually move back to the repaired houses.And the Ministry of Industry guarantees that all the houses will be built before the next Yuan Festival, so that everyone can spend the winter with peace of mind.
I heard that the ladies in the palace also saved money for hairpin rings and makeup powder, and donated it as coal money for their next winter. It is really very grateful.
Upstairs, Wanda and the others who were in the same room with the emperor naturally raised their wine glasses, bowed to Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er, and shouted long live.
Although Zhu Jianshen has been called "Long Live" every day since he became the throne, he was deeply moved when he saw the enthusiastic and grateful faces of the people below on this occasion.
He picked up the wine glass and wished with everyone, then clinked another glass with Wan Zhen'er and drank it down.
Putting down the wine glass, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.
Compared with admiring the moon and singing and dancing in the palace, such a scene is the real "joy with the people"!
It is precisely from the lessons learned from the late emperor that during the past ten years since I ascended the throne, I have devoted myself to my career every day, and burned ointments every night. Except for a few days of seals on New Year’s Day, I have never had a single day. .
This time, there was such a big disaster in the capital, and it involved the Imperial College and Uncle Xiaolang, and almost endangered the crown prince. He couldn't sleep for several days last month, fearing what he did wrong, which caused God to punish him like this with him.
Seeing the peaceful and happy expressions of these people now, Zhu Jianshen also felt great comfort in his heart, feeling that his years of hard work were finally not in vain.
"His Majesty."
Wan Zhen'er, who had been with him for many years, couldn't understand what was going on in his heart. She looked at the bustling street below "Xinghaihui" with emotion, and the almost endless lights of the city.
"The concubine was young and poor, and since she was sent to the palace at the age of four, she has never seen a commoner. Sitting here now, the concubine is happy and comforted. I walked all the way from Dong'anmen just now. The people who came to the capital are living and working in peace and contentment, and are more prosperous than they were 30 years ago, and they are extremely grateful to His Majesty."
As she said that, she once again picked up the wine glass filled with fine wine, with tears in her eyes, she said very movedly, "Today, I am blessed to be able to accompany His Majesty out of the palace and reunite with my younger brother's family. My concubine thanked His Majesty."
As he spoke, he stretched out his slender fingers to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Wanda lovingly, and nodded to Yang Xiuxian who was sitting beside Wanda.
Hey, although it's a little strange that "sister-in-law" is a man...
But at last he is steady and mature, as long as he can manage him.
"Inhumane" is "impossible", it is better than being old and helpless, lonely and lonely.
Ever since His Majesty informed her younger brother of the relationship with Master Yang and confirmed the rumors she had heard before, it took Wan Zhener a long time to accept the fact that Wanda likes men.Today, I finally saw Master Yang who was rumored to have lived and died with his younger brother for more than ten years. Seeing how serious he was, I finally taught Wan Zhen'er to feel at ease.
"I'm going to call the two children up and have a meal together."
Yang Xiuxian was terrified by the "kind" eyes from the "big aunt".He took the initiative to get up, went downstairs and picked up the two boys who were about to play crazy, one by one, asked the buddy to bring the washbasin with bath beans, washed their hands, and prepared to have dinner.
The dishes are served one after another, and the plays are sung.
The night is just right, the flowers are fragrant and the moon is full.The gongs and drums are blaring, and the lanterns are competing.
All of today's performances were carefully planned by Wanda, and his carefulness was naturally added.
When the actor playing Chang'e fairy, holding a live rabbit with a wire rope around his waist, floated down from the ceiling, it aroused applause like a tsunami in the entire "Xinghaihui".
The aborigines of Daming who had never seen the artifact of "Wia" were shocked, and they never expected to see this scene like "immortals descending to earth".
As soon as the "Chang'e" landed on the ground, she put down the rabbit and started waving a colorful water show, and her excellent kung fu made people mesmerized.
"Is this what you came up with too?"
After Wanda's reminder, he finally noticed the rope around "Chang'e", and Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but admire.
Uncle Lang, how many surprises can you give me?
Shouldn't he have been allowed to go to the prison to watch the gate in the first place?Maybe let him go to the Ministry of Rites?
Zhu Jianshen began to think deeply.
"Father! I want to hang the steel wire too, let me try it later."
Wan Lan was so excited that he opened his "toothless" mouth, hugged Wanda and said coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll hang you up, no one is allowed to let you down, hang for a day, would you say it's okay?"
Wanda reached out and flicked his rabbit ears.
When he was eating cheese rice cakes just now, the young master's second front tooth was forcibly stuck off by the rice cakes, which shocked him.
His father, Wanda, was still bluffing him, telling him that it was all because he ate too much sugar just now, and that he might lose all his teeth in a while.
Not only did Wan Lan, who was not afraid of anything, almost cry, but even Zhu Youtang, who had eaten three candies just now, covered her face and shed tears.
Woohoo, I just don't want to be a toothless old lady, just like those old maids in Nei'an Hall.
If Wan Zhen'er hadn't given Wanda a hard look at the end, stopped him from talking nonsense, and comforted A Lan that his teeth would grow back soon, Yang Xiuxian could almost have seen how Wanda's "extreme joy begets sorrow" ended up.
Until one more day later, the last scene was over, the upstairs and downstairs were messed up, and everyone was ready to go home.
The two children were already too sleepy, and Alan was held in Yang Xiuxian's arms, her little head was biting, she wanted to sleep but she was a little bit reluctant.
As for Zhu Youtang, who was three years younger than him, he was held in Tan Chang's arms, and he was already asleep.
"Master Rabbit..."
Zhu Youtang was talking in his sleep, "Jinyiwei Rabbit Master...it's agreed."
Wanda couldn't laugh or cry.
It turned out that when the people with their children were about to leave "Xinghaihui", there was an episode.
A little girl with braids pointed at the rabbit master playing waist drum on the booth and cried, her voice was so loud that the upstairs was disturbed.
Wanda hurriedly sent someone down to inquire, and it turned out that the girl's father was a man who played drums at weddings and weddings.
In this explosion, his father was unfortunately crushed under the beam and died.The girl thought of her father when she saw the rabbit master.
She wanted to take this rabbit master home and look at it every day, just like seeing her father.
"This one……"
Upon hearing this, Wanda looked at Wan Lan who was frowning.
In the end, these rabbit masters and toys belonged to Wanlan, but they were only lent to them to "Xinghaihui" for display.If a child asks for it, it depends on whether Wan Lan agrees or not.
"I'll go down and have a look..."
Wan Lan left her seat and walked downstairs.
Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er also wanted to see how their eldest son would deal with this matter, so they called everyone to leave together.
"You said, does your father also play drums? Is your father gone?"
Wan Lan walked to the booth and looked at the crying little girl.
"Ah."
The little girl nodded her head, her nose was red from crying, and twitched.
"Then, that's fine... this rabbit will be given to you."
Although Wan Lan was young, she hated seeing girls cry the most, even though the one in front of her was still a little yellow-haired girl.
"Hey, young master, you can't do it, you can't do it."
Her mother stood behind her and quickly refused, "This rabbit is too expensive, it's not something that people like us can afford, so we can't have it."
"Brother, I don't want your Rabbit Master for nothing. I'll exchange my purse with you."
The little girl took out a crude purse and put it in Wan Lan's hand.
A purse made of coarse cloth like this, with all crooked stitches, would never catch Wan Lan's eyes.However, he still accepted it readily, and turned around to let Wang Zhi take down the drumming rabbit master.
"You put it away, don't cry."
As Wan Lan said, she took out the candy he had just grabbed from her pocket and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl took Master Rabbit and the candy with a smile, made a blessing to Wan Lan like an adult, and walked to her mother.
"You see, my younger brother taught Alan very well. He is a good boy who takes pity on the old and cherishes the weak."
Wan Zhen'er smiled in Zhu Jianshen's ear.
Zhu Jianshen also nodded with emotion, thinking that although Ah Lan was very naughty on weekdays, he was kind and loyal inside, and it really was taught by Uncle Xiao Lang.
Originally, a rabbit master was sent out, and everyone was ready to go upstairs.Unexpectedly, a group of children came out and surrounded Wan Lan.
"Brother, my father is a fruit seller. Can you give me the fruit rabbit master? I'll exchange it with you with a windmill."
"it is good!"
"Brother, let me exchange this cricket with you for this jumping rope rabbit. My sister liked to skip rope when she was alive."
"it is good……"
"Brother, can you give me this official rabbit master?"
"Your father is an official?"
"No, my father always told me to study hard and be a good official in the future."
"Okay, okay..."
Seeing more and more messy toys in his hands, Wan Lan finally couldn't help crying as the rabbit masters he had cherished for many years decreased one by one.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L
Seeing him crying so miserably, several shameless adults laughed, even Wan Zhen'er, who had always been facing him, couldn't help laughing.
"All right, all right, then uncle will send someone to be your son-in-law. Don't cry."
Zhu Jian squatted down and wiped away the tears that kept rolling down Wan Lan's face with his hands.
"Really, really? Is there really a Jinyiwei Rabbit Master?"
"Of course. I'll have someone make a whole set for you. Rabbits from Xiaoqi, to Lishi, to Qianhu, commanders and envoys. They all wear flying fish suits of various colors, with embroidered spring knives. The wings of the black gauze hat are made of rabbit ears. The kind that can move."
Zhu Jianshen couldn't break the assumption of today's rich man, so he began to make various promises.
"Also, there are rabbits from the elephant training station. The kind that ride on elephants."
Wan Lan sniffed and said.
"No problem, let's be four rabbits riding elephants. There are also big Han general rabbits and flag-carrying rabbits."
"Father, dad, I want it too, I want it too."
Zhu Youtang said hastily.
"Do it, do it for Ah Lan, and also do it for Ah Tang. The palace maid, the eunuch, and the eunuch, all of them."
"Long live!"
The two children cried out happily.
Qin Chang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking about the expressions that the craftsmen of the Neifu Construction Office would show when they heard the news tomorrow.
Under the crow-colored sky, Wan Zhen'er took Wanda's hand and bid farewell to him.
Ever since she was sent to a place where she could not see her relatives by Wan Gui in her childhood, she had long given up the thought of being able to go out of the palace and reunite with her family.The favor of going out of the palace to visit relatives is too much, and she has been criticized by others outside the court, so she can't say this no matter what.
I didn't expect that thanks to Wanda's blessing, I would still have the opportunity to go out of the palace, reunite with my family, and have fun with the common people in this life.Although the happy time was very short, only half a night, Wan Zhen'er was already satisfied.
"Uncle Lang, please do your job well. Ah Zhi's West Factory will still need your help next year."
Before driving back to the palace, Zhu Jianshen turned his head and smiled at Wanda.
Looking at the carriage going away, Wanda turned around, looked up at the big signboard of "Xinghaihui", turned around and smiled at Yang Xiuxian.
Zhu Youtang didn't wear the prince's robe today, but was dressed as a young son of a rich and noble family.
The upper body is wearing a moon-white gauze lining, a small red peony brocade gown, white ribbed trousers, and a pair of crow-blue shoes studded with pearls.Wearing a small red hood, he is as cute as a boy walking out of a painting.
It just so happened that Wan Lan was also wearing a red Taoist gown today, a white rabbit hat on his head, coupled with his pompous expression, he looked like a clay sculpture of a rabbit master.
"Why is my brother here?"
Seeing Zhu Youtang, Wan Lan jumped up happily.
He looked up again, and when he saw the adults standing behind Zhu Youtang, he couldn't help but put his two small hands on his mouth, his eyes widened, and he blinked wildly.
"Why, Ah Lan saw me...Uncle and your aunt, aren't you happy?"
Zhu Jianshen slapped the tortoiseshell bone sprinkled golden folding fan in his hand smartly, half bent down, and stretched out his hand to grab Wan Lan's rabbit ears.
"It feels good to the touch, and it's actually made of real rabbit fur."
Zhu Jianshen turned his head and said to the smiling Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er, who left the palace with their father and son today, is also dressed as a folk lady.
On his head was a di bun with a precious golden thread hairpin, and a golden phoenix hairpin was inserted into it. The phoenix held a string of pearls the size of rice beads in his mouth, and he walked tremblingly.She was wearing a lotus-colored long golden jacket with makeup, and underneath was a jade-colored skirt woven with dark patterns, which looked rich and not vulgar.
Wan Zhen'er was originally a sassy beauty with fair skin, high nose bridge, and elegant temperament. Standing in the "Xinghaihui" full of bright lights, she looked like a fairy in the moon palace.
From the moment she and Zhu Jianshen were surrounded by people and walked into the gate of "Xinghaihui", there were countless pairs of amazing eyes cast on them.
After seeing the handsome husband by her side and the cute little son with him, I envied this lady's good fortune even more.
Wan Zhen'er watched Zhu Jianshen grab Wan Lan's rabbit ears with a childlike innocence, and picked up the other one with a smile.
"It's very soft. Who made it for you? If you put straws in it, wouldn't it be able to stand up? It's exactly the same as the real General Rabbit. That would be fun."
Saying that, he and Zhu Jianshen looked at each other and smiled.
So, just after finishing greetings with Ji Siye and the others upstairs, Wanda, who was walking down the stairs, saw his son Wan Lan before he reached the bottom of the first floor, and was grabbed by two "rabbits." ears", with a look of shock that seemed to be sleepwalking.
The one who grabbed his ear, the man and the woman who were talking, were none other than the current Holy Majesty and the Imperial Concubine.
And standing next to Wan Lan, the rich and noble brother who was covering his mouth and smiling at him was the little prince!
How could the most valuable family in the Ming Dynasty appear in the restaurant he opened?
"Guanghuai, am I dreaming? Is it a dream?"
Wanda's feet softened, and he held on to the railing of the stairs, turned his head and asked Yang Xiuxian who was standing beside him in a daze.
"I've never heard of it... Not only His Majesty, but also the prince and empress..."
Yang Xiuxian shook his head subconsciously, with an expression of disbelief.
The expressions of Gao Hui and Qiu Zijin who followed behind them were even more indescribable.
"Wang Zhi, he came in..."
Qiu Zijin stretched out his trembling fingers and pointed at Wang Zhi who had just stepped into the gate of the restaurant.
I saw that Wang Zhi was holding all kinds of things in his hands, which were all kinds of festive gadgets sold at the stalls at the temple fair opposite.
What lotus lamps, lotus leaf lamps, red pomegranates, pineapple persimmons, moon palace paintings, hairpins of various colors, colorful sachets and three or five folding fans.There are also various books, pens and inks in the study, and various scrolls. I don't know if they are calligraphy or pictures.
If Wang Zhi couldn't hold it, he let the father-in-law Tan Chang who followed him and dressed up as a family servant carry it.
If Eunuch Tan couldn't carry it, he let the guards behind him carry it.
Looking at the large and small bags in the hands of more than a dozen imperial guards behind, it seemed that they had swept up half the street.
It turned out that this family of three not only brought the palace people out of the palace in micro-clothes, but also visited the night market opposite before arriving at his "Xinghaihui"!
Everyone is so assured of the security of the capital, as the commander of Jinyiwei Beizhen Fusi, I am really grateful.
"Your Majesty... brother-in-law, sister."
Wanda took a deep breath, walked in front of them, and bowed to Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er.
Wan Zhen'er smiled and let go of the hand holding Wan Lan's rabbit's ears, and said with a smile, "Brother, it's really lively here, as expected of the 'No. [-] Building in the World'."
"uncle."
The little prince obediently stepped forward to bow to Wanda.
"Hey, good, good..."
Wanda smiled awkwardly, and touched the prince's little head.
On weekdays, he needs to give the crown prince the courtesy of a courtier first, but now he is not used to it.
"Did you find someone to make this hat for Ah Lan?"
Zhu Jianshen pointed to the rabbit ear hat.
"Um……"
Wanda has not yet recovered from the shock, so she was a little slow to answer.
"Make one for us, Ah Tang."
Zhu Jianshen said domineeringly.
"Father...Father!"
Zhu Youtang happily looked at his emperor Lao Tzu.
Very good!
As soon as he saw this hat just now, he liked it very much, but this is brother A Lan's property, so he can't snatch it.
Unexpectedly, the royal father actually guessed his little thoughts...
Zhu Youtang walked back to Zhu Jianshen's side, and hugged the emperor's thigh emotionally.
Dad is so nice!
"Tsk..."
Seeing this scene of "Father's kindness and son's filial piety", Wanda's sour teeth were about to fall out.
He glanced at the things in Ah Zhi and Qin Chang's hands, and understood that today's brother-in-law rarely took his wife and son out of the palace, and he set up a persona of a local tyrant who spends money like water.
So he didn't care about it with him, and agreed.
"Let's go! I've heard that Uncle Xiaolang's restaurant is all-encompassing. Take Zhen'er and me to have a look."
Minister Wan rarely leaves the palace, so he must let her have fun.
Zhu Jianshen half turned his head and raised his arms.
Wan Zhen'er immediately took a step forward, hooked her husband's arm, and grinned - since she has already left the palace anyway, let's just treat herself and His Majesty as an ordinary folk couple.
There is a rule that the concubine must walk behind the emperor, it doesn't hurt to take a break today.
Wanda felt that her teeth were even more sour today.
Seeing that the emperor and the imperial concubine were about to go upstairs, Zhu Youtang looked back anxiously at Wan Lan, and said anxiously, "Father, my son wants to play downstairs with Brother A Lan." .”
Downstairs, apart from Mr. Rabbit, there are so many children and all kinds of toys.
Zhu Youtang grew up so big, he had never seen more than a hundred children get together, so he was willing to leave like this.
Zhu Jianshen, who had already walked up the steps, turned his head, looked at the commoner children who looked at him and Wan Zhen'er enviously, thought for a while, and said to Wang Zhi, "You stay below and look at Ah Lan and Ah Tang. Don't let them bully people."
Wang Zhi gladly accepted the order.
After all, he himself is a half-grown child, and he also wants to take a closer look at the "treasure" of the eldest son of the emperor.
"Brother, come and see, these are my collection."
Seeing that the adults had all left, Wan Lan was like a monkey descending the mountain. She grabbed Zhu Youtang's little hand and pulled him to the front of the "stand", pointing at the dazzling "Rabbit World", proudly Said, "Gong... There are so many rabbit masters in your family, are they so beautiful?"
"Not so many, not so many varieties...It's so beautiful, it's really so beautiful."
Standing on tiptoe, Zhu Youtang raised his head and squinted his eyes at these various rabbits, wishing he could shrink into a small rabbit and join their ranks.
Seeing this, the other children behind him also leaned on the table, staring at these smart little rabbits.
When the night wind blew, the flags and flags planted behind the rabbits moved slightly, and it was even more lifelike, which made the children fascinated by watching it.
Wanda led Zhu Jianshen to the best box on the third floor.
Today, the windows on the east and west sides of all boxes are open, and you can see the full moon rising from the outside, and you can see the big stage in the center of the first floor from the inside.
It is said that all the famous actors in the opposite building are playing here today, and they will all be presented one by one in a while.
Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er took their seats, and when they saw that everyone in the room, including Wanda, was standing still, they couldn't help laughing and said, "What? Are you still going to stand all night? Yang Qianhu, Mr. Qiu, Sit down."
"Don't dare, don't dare."
Qiu Zijin waved his hands hastily.
Just kidding, more than ten years ago, His Majesty went to Fusi Dining Hall in Beizhen for a private visit, and the painful memory of eating the "Golden Jade Cake" that he had been waiting for for a long time was still deeply engraved in his mind like a knife and an axe. .
How dare he sit and dine with His Majesty.
What's more, there is one more empress today...
Speaking of which, this was the first time that Qiu Zijin had seen the rumored Concubine Wan Gui. He felt that she was very graceful, amiable, elegant and noble, and people couldn't help but feel respect... Why is Master Wan, who is like a monkey, a relative?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Wanda one more time, and then at his empty right side - this high meeting is also the same, after following Master Wan for a long time, he has learned to cheat more and more.
Just now he actually said that his wife and two children came to "Xinghaihui" to play, and that their family was going to reunite in the building today, and after they pleaded guilty, they slipped away with oil on their feet...Leaving him an "outsider", come Facing the first family of Ming Dynasty, it is really hateful!
"Sit down, don't hold back, just treat it as a 'family banquet'."
Zhu Jian smiled deeply and waved his hands, "If you follow the etiquette in the palace, Zhen... what am I going out of the palace to do, the moon in the palace is not round enough, or is the mooncake not delicious?"
Seeing that the emperor had said so, everyone was embarrassed to refuse, and they all confessed their crimes in a low voice, and then sat down according to their official positions.
Wanda naturally sat on the left hand side of the emperor. He glanced at Qiu Zijin, who was alone in the last seat opposite him, and said to Zhu Jianshen flatteringly, "Since it's a festival today, you don't have to follow the usual rules. Brother-in-law, why not?" How about calling Xiao Qian out too? Let him celebrate the festival with us too."
To say that Mei Qianzhang's health is really good, last time they were both injured almost at the same time, and it took him about a month to recover, while Mei Qianzhang woke up that night.
After a few days of recuperation in Beizhen Fusi, he returned to the palace and returned to the palace. His vitality was so tenacious that it was comparable to Xiaoqiang.
Qiu Zijin raised his head abruptly when he heard this - he hadn't seen Mei Qianzhang for a month since he left after recovering from his injury.
Although the plums and notes on the window sill were still delivered daily, as two lovers who had just confirmed their intentions, it was too painful not to see each other.
"It makes sense. It's hard to have a reunion festival, and we can't let Mei Qian and Zhang Guang watch us happy."
As Zhu Jianshen said, he raised his hand and patted his palms.
After three high-fives, a figure floated up from downstairs.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Empress and all the adults."
Mei Qianzhang, still wearing a mask, knelt on one knee and said.
Qiu Zijin was so excited that he half straightened up.
"You don't have to be polite, just get up and sit down."
Zhu Jianshen looked at the vacant seats, pointed to the vacant tail seat next to Qiu Zijin and said, "Sit at the bottom of Chief Qiu."
Mei Qianzhang had been protecting Wanlan downstairs just now, and came up only after hearing His Majesty's high-five. Hearing what Zhu Jianshen said, she was a little lost for a while, and looked in the direction of Wanda in surprise.
"If you are told to sit, you can sit. Today is your holiday. Sit down with everyone to eat and watch a show. You are the youngest official, and you won't feel wronged sitting next to Mr. Qiu."
Wanda took a funny look at Qiu Zijin, who was rarely so happy, and nudged Yang Xiuxian who was sitting on his right side with his elbow.
Yang Xiuxian kicked him under the table calmly, reminding him not to be too ostentatious, lest extreme joy turn into sorrow.
Zhu Jianshen noticed all these little tricks.
He sneered softly, secretly laughing that finally someone in this world can control this monkey like Uncle Lang, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman.
When these two are together, he still feels that he has wronged Mr. Yang, who has been in Jinyiwei for generations.
Mei Qianzhang held her breath, walked to the left side of the seat next to Qiu Zijin, and sat down in disbelief with almost sleepwalking steps.
"Master Qiu, last time Mei was injured, I would like to thank Mr. Qiu for taking care of me all the time. Thank you very much."
Mei Qianzhang picked up the teacup placed in front of the table, "Mei used tea instead of wine, thank you here."
Qiu Zijin didn't dare to show his happiness too clearly in front of the two nobles, so he pretended to calmly pick up the teacup and clinked it with Mei Qianzhang.
The backs of the fingers of the two touched together inadvertently, and then quickly separated.
After drinking the tea and putting down the quilt, Qiu Zijin touched his index finger with his thumb, feeling numb.
He raised his eyes to look at Mei Qianzhang calmly, and found that the other party was also staring at him, his face blushed and his heart beat like a drum.
"Okay, let's serve the appetizers first!"
Wanda told the buddy waiting outside the door, "Let's play."
With the sound of "kuang kuang" gongs and drums, a man in a red brocade robe, a black gauze hat with red wings on his head, and a white mask on his face jumped onto the stage.
He stepped on almost half-drunk steps, twisted his buttocks amidst the sound of gongs and drums, and while doing humorous dances, he said witty and auspicious words, flying all over the venue.
Those children who were standing in front of the Rabbit Master's booth were all attracted, and gathered around the front of the stage, watching his funny performance.
Wang Zhi was afraid that these children would crowd the two princes, so he separated them with his body.
Zhu Youtang also watched the play with Wan Zhener and the Queen Mother in the palace, but as usual in the palace, there was no such "jumping and adding officials" before the official show in the palace - all the people watching the show were the emperor's concubines, and there were no "officials" Can be added.So this was the first time he saw this kind of singing, dancing, and gag performance, so he couldn't help watching it with relish.
Moreover, these folk actors are much more open-minded than those from the Shengping Bureau in the palace.A witty remark made the children laugh out loud, and Zhu Youtang and Wan Lan also clapped their hands together.
"I also have a mask at home, which looks much better than his."
Wan Lan lowered her head, leaned close to Zhu Youtang's ear and said, "I'll show it to you when you come back to the Baron's Mansion."
Zhu Youtang clapped his hands and nodded uncontrollably.
"Brother Xiaoqian also has a mask. Next time I will let you meet my brother Xiaoqian, he is very skillful."
Wan Lan added.
When Wang Zhi heard this, his heart moved.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it's rare that His Majesty and the others have come out to reunite with Susu and A Lan, and I don't know if my real brother is there.If he is here, doesn't it mean that our brothers can also get together today?
Thinking so, he involuntarily looked towards the open box on the third floor.
Then I saw the familiar figure accompanying him on the tail seat.
Wang Zhi raised his hand in disbelief and wiped his eyes.
"No...is it my eyesight?"
Mr. Tang, who was standing up, holding the jug, and preparing to pour wine for Ji Siye, looked at the big box on the north facing their table. Wang Zhi, who was on the same floor, also showed an incredulous expression. He wiped his eyes with his sleeve.
"No, no, it's impossible...I haven't drunk too much, how is this possible?"
Master Tang put down the jug, leaned his body almost out of the railing, and stared at it with wide eyes.
"Old Tang, all the students are here, what are you doing?"
Although you can be a little more presumptuous when talking about festivals, you still look like a teacher in front of the teachers and students. Ji Siye quickly grabbed him and tried to pull him in.
"Master Si Ye, look over there—"
Ji Siye followed Mr. Tang's trembling fingers, narrowed his dim eyes, and looked at the opposite van.
"Look, that young man sitting at the top. He, is he the Holy One?"
Director Tang's voice was trembling.
There was a group of people sitting in the van opposite, among them the two adults of Jin Yiwei were most familiar with them.There is also Qiu Zijin who seems to be the proud student of their Guozijian, the first Tanhualang in the first year of Chenghua, and now the head of the Criminal Department.As teachers, they will never forget this outstanding student.
As for the young man sitting on top of Mr. Wan, this... no matter how you look at it, it looks familiar.
Although the holy face can only be seen during the regular court meeting and the three-year imperial examination competition, Tang Zhuzhu still recognized at a glance that the young man with extraordinary demeanor, although he was dressed in civilian clothes, was Zhu Jianshen. Your Majesty.
How could His Majesty be in such a place?Isn't there a festival and admiration for the moon in the palace today?
Ji Siye was also surprised when he saw Zhu Jianshen's face.
But at this moment, as the actor Jinji who "jumped into the official" downstairs stood alone on the table covered with red cloth, he opened the red-bottomed gold-sprinkled banner with the words "World Peace, Kyushu Reunion" in his hand, and tied it on the red cloth. The two large colored balls on both sides of the ceiling were pulled apart forcefully at the same time.
Two long five-colored ribbons fluttered under the colored balls, and countless pieces of colorful colored paper poured down from the opened colored balls.
Suddenly, this colorful "snowflake" floated in the entire building.
Not only that, there are also small sugar balls wrapped in colored paper in the colored balls.Like rain, it "crackled" and sprinkled on the stage.
"Impossible, you are dazzled, impossible thing."
Two dangling big flower balls blocked the sight of the two of them, Ji Siye waved his hand, and pulled Mr. Tang back to his seat.
Didn't you see that there was a lady next to the young man?
If he is His Majesty who is visiting privately in a micro-clothes, is it possible that the Empress will also go out of the palace with him?
funny!
Sure enough, I am very happy today, "Everyone gets drunk when wine is not drunk".
The two sat down and began to accept the toasts from the teachers and students in turn, and then threw this episode out of the blue after a while.
"Brother, eat candy. These are made by my cook, they are delicious."
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Ah Lan turned onto the stage, quickly found several candies from the paper scraps, peeled them off on the spot, and stuffed one into Zhu Youtang's little mouth.
"It's sweet. It's minty."
Zhu Youtang licked his mouth and found that his mouth was cold, and said in surprise.
"Yeah, there are also watermelon flavors, citrus flavors, and milk flavors. My father thought of it and asked the cook to make it. My father is amazing."
As Wan Lan said, she peeled off a nougat and threw it into her mouth.
"Uncle is awesome."
Not to be outdone, Zhu Youtang put his hands on the edge of the stage, tried his best to straddle his short legs, and turned his head upwards.
Seeing this, Wang Zhi simply picked him up and put him on the stage.
Seeing them like this, the rest of the children also climbed onto the stage and picked up the candy balls.
"Kyushu enjoys joy, all people rejoice. On this festive occasion, I wish the Ming Dynasty a long life, long live your majesty! All your mothers, live a thousand years and a thousand years!"
The players standing on the table continued to perform completely unaffected by the children.
After all, he faced north and bowed deeply towards the direction of the palace.
"I wish the Ming Dynasty a long life and a long life, Your Majesty! A thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years, every lady!"
Except for the little kids on the ground who were busy picking sweets, everyone present, whether it was the people in the east of the city who were scattered in the hall, or the dignitaries in the private room and the teachers and students of the Imperial College, all stood up together. Come, say it in unison, and toast to the north.
Especially those ordinary people who lost their homes were full of gratitude, and some old people even shed tears of excitement.
Originally thought that this festival of family reunion would be difficult for them to pass this year. It is said that some families were ruined, and some families with only orphans and widowed mothers even thought about jumping into the river before the festival.
Who knew that today I could walk into this glorious place and eat delicious delicacies that I couldn't even dream of, it was even more like a dream.
The most important thing is that the official from the Ministry of Industry who stood at the door to check the population just now told them that in the middle of next month, they can gradually move back to the repaired houses.And the Ministry of Industry guarantees that all the houses will be built before the next Yuan Festival, so that everyone can spend the winter with peace of mind.
I heard that the ladies in the palace also saved money for hairpin rings and makeup powder, and donated it as coal money for their next winter. It is really very grateful.
Upstairs, Wanda and the others who were in the same room with the emperor naturally raised their wine glasses, bowed to Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er, and shouted long live.
Although Zhu Jianshen has been called "Long Live" every day since he became the throne, he was deeply moved when he saw the enthusiastic and grateful faces of the people below on this occasion.
He picked up the wine glass and wished with everyone, then clinked another glass with Wan Zhen'er and drank it down.
Putting down the wine glass, Zhu Jianshen couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.
Compared with admiring the moon and singing and dancing in the palace, such a scene is the real "joy with the people"!
It is precisely from the lessons learned from the late emperor that during the past ten years since I ascended the throne, I have devoted myself to my career every day, and burned ointments every night. Except for a few days of seals on New Year’s Day, I have never had a single day. .
This time, there was such a big disaster in the capital, and it involved the Imperial College and Uncle Xiaolang, and almost endangered the crown prince. He couldn't sleep for several days last month, fearing what he did wrong, which caused God to punish him like this with him.
Seeing the peaceful and happy expressions of these people now, Zhu Jianshen also felt great comfort in his heart, feeling that his years of hard work were finally not in vain.
"His Majesty."
Wan Zhen'er, who had been with him for many years, couldn't understand what was going on in his heart. She looked at the bustling street below "Xinghaihui" with emotion, and the almost endless lights of the city.
"The concubine was young and poor, and since she was sent to the palace at the age of four, she has never seen a commoner. Sitting here now, the concubine is happy and comforted. I walked all the way from Dong'anmen just now. The people who came to the capital are living and working in peace and contentment, and are more prosperous than they were 30 years ago, and they are extremely grateful to His Majesty."
As she said that, she once again picked up the wine glass filled with fine wine, with tears in her eyes, she said very movedly, "Today, I am blessed to be able to accompany His Majesty out of the palace and reunite with my younger brother's family. My concubine thanked His Majesty."
As he spoke, he stretched out his slender fingers to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at Wanda lovingly, and nodded to Yang Xiuxian who was sitting beside Wanda.
Hey, although it's a little strange that "sister-in-law" is a man...
But at last he is steady and mature, as long as he can manage him.
"Inhumane" is "impossible", it is better than being old and helpless, lonely and lonely.
Ever since His Majesty informed her younger brother of the relationship with Master Yang and confirmed the rumors she had heard before, it took Wan Zhener a long time to accept the fact that Wanda likes men.Today, I finally saw Master Yang who was rumored to have lived and died with his younger brother for more than ten years. Seeing how serious he was, I finally taught Wan Zhen'er to feel at ease.
"I'm going to call the two children up and have a meal together."
Yang Xiuxian was terrified by the "kind" eyes from the "big aunt".He took the initiative to get up, went downstairs and picked up the two boys who were about to play crazy, one by one, asked the buddy to bring the washbasin with bath beans, washed their hands, and prepared to have dinner.
The dishes are served one after another, and the plays are sung.
The night is just right, the flowers are fragrant and the moon is full.The gongs and drums are blaring, and the lanterns are competing.
All of today's performances were carefully planned by Wanda, and his carefulness was naturally added.
When the actor playing Chang'e fairy, holding a live rabbit with a wire rope around his waist, floated down from the ceiling, it aroused applause like a tsunami in the entire "Xinghaihui".
The aborigines of Daming who had never seen the artifact of "Wia" were shocked, and they never expected to see this scene like "immortals descending to earth".
As soon as the "Chang'e" landed on the ground, she put down the rabbit and started waving a colorful water show, and her excellent kung fu made people mesmerized.
"Is this what you came up with too?"
After Wanda's reminder, he finally noticed the rope around "Chang'e", and Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but admire.
Uncle Lang, how many surprises can you give me?
Shouldn't he have been allowed to go to the prison to watch the gate in the first place?Maybe let him go to the Ministry of Rites?
Zhu Jianshen began to think deeply.
"Father! I want to hang the steel wire too, let me try it later."
Wan Lan was so excited that he opened his "toothless" mouth, hugged Wanda and said coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll hang you up, no one is allowed to let you down, hang for a day, would you say it's okay?"
Wanda reached out and flicked his rabbit ears.
When he was eating cheese rice cakes just now, the young master's second front tooth was forcibly stuck off by the rice cakes, which shocked him.
His father, Wanda, was still bluffing him, telling him that it was all because he ate too much sugar just now, and that he might lose all his teeth in a while.
Not only did Wan Lan, who was not afraid of anything, almost cry, but even Zhu Youtang, who had eaten three candies just now, covered her face and shed tears.
Woohoo, I just don't want to be a toothless old lady, just like those old maids in Nei'an Hall.
If Wan Zhen'er hadn't given Wanda a hard look at the end, stopped him from talking nonsense, and comforted A Lan that his teeth would grow back soon, Yang Xiuxian could almost have seen how Wanda's "extreme joy begets sorrow" ended up.
Until one more day later, the last scene was over, the upstairs and downstairs were messed up, and everyone was ready to go home.
The two children were already too sleepy, and Alan was held in Yang Xiuxian's arms, her little head was biting, she wanted to sleep but she was a little bit reluctant.
As for Zhu Youtang, who was three years younger than him, he was held in Tan Chang's arms, and he was already asleep.
"Master Rabbit..."
Zhu Youtang was talking in his sleep, "Jinyiwei Rabbit Master...it's agreed."
Wanda couldn't laugh or cry.
It turned out that when the people with their children were about to leave "Xinghaihui", there was an episode.
A little girl with braids pointed at the rabbit master playing waist drum on the booth and cried, her voice was so loud that the upstairs was disturbed.
Wanda hurriedly sent someone down to inquire, and it turned out that the girl's father was a man who played drums at weddings and weddings.
In this explosion, his father was unfortunately crushed under the beam and died.The girl thought of her father when she saw the rabbit master.
She wanted to take this rabbit master home and look at it every day, just like seeing her father.
"This one……"
Upon hearing this, Wanda looked at Wan Lan who was frowning.
In the end, these rabbit masters and toys belonged to Wanlan, but they were only lent to them to "Xinghaihui" for display.If a child asks for it, it depends on whether Wan Lan agrees or not.
"I'll go down and have a look..."
Wan Lan left her seat and walked downstairs.
Zhu Jianshen and Wan Zhen'er also wanted to see how their eldest son would deal with this matter, so they called everyone to leave together.
"You said, does your father also play drums? Is your father gone?"
Wan Lan walked to the booth and looked at the crying little girl.
"Ah."
The little girl nodded her head, her nose was red from crying, and twitched.
"Then, that's fine... this rabbit will be given to you."
Although Wan Lan was young, she hated seeing girls cry the most, even though the one in front of her was still a little yellow-haired girl.
"Hey, young master, you can't do it, you can't do it."
Her mother stood behind her and quickly refused, "This rabbit is too expensive, it's not something that people like us can afford, so we can't have it."
"Brother, I don't want your Rabbit Master for nothing. I'll exchange my purse with you."
The little girl took out a crude purse and put it in Wan Lan's hand.
A purse made of coarse cloth like this, with all crooked stitches, would never catch Wan Lan's eyes.However, he still accepted it readily, and turned around to let Wang Zhi take down the drumming rabbit master.
"You put it away, don't cry."
As Wan Lan said, she took out the candy he had just grabbed from her pocket and handed it to the little girl.
The little girl took Master Rabbit and the candy with a smile, made a blessing to Wan Lan like an adult, and walked to her mother.
"You see, my younger brother taught Alan very well. He is a good boy who takes pity on the old and cherishes the weak."
Wan Zhen'er smiled in Zhu Jianshen's ear.
Zhu Jianshen also nodded with emotion, thinking that although Ah Lan was very naughty on weekdays, he was kind and loyal inside, and it really was taught by Uncle Xiao Lang.
Originally, a rabbit master was sent out, and everyone was ready to go upstairs.Unexpectedly, a group of children came out and surrounded Wan Lan.
"Brother, my father is a fruit seller. Can you give me the fruit rabbit master? I'll exchange it with you with a windmill."
"it is good!"
"Brother, let me exchange this cricket with you for this jumping rope rabbit. My sister liked to skip rope when she was alive."
"it is good……"
"Brother, can you give me this official rabbit master?"
"Your father is an official?"
"No, my father always told me to study hard and be a good official in the future."
"Okay, okay..."
Seeing more and more messy toys in his hands, Wan Lan finally couldn't help crying as the rabbit masters he had cherished for many years decreased one by one.
"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L
Seeing him crying so miserably, several shameless adults laughed, even Wan Zhen'er, who had always been facing him, couldn't help laughing.
"All right, all right, then uncle will send someone to be your son-in-law. Don't cry."
Zhu Jian squatted down and wiped away the tears that kept rolling down Wan Lan's face with his hands.
"Really, really? Is there really a Jinyiwei Rabbit Master?"
"Of course. I'll have someone make a whole set for you. Rabbits from Xiaoqi, to Lishi, to Qianhu, commanders and envoys. They all wear flying fish suits of various colors, with embroidered spring knives. The wings of the black gauze hat are made of rabbit ears. The kind that can move."
Zhu Jianshen couldn't break the assumption of today's rich man, so he began to make various promises.
"Also, there are rabbits from the elephant training station. The kind that ride on elephants."
Wan Lan sniffed and said.
"No problem, let's be four rabbits riding elephants. There are also big Han general rabbits and flag-carrying rabbits."
"Father, dad, I want it too, I want it too."
Zhu Youtang said hastily.
"Do it, do it for Ah Lan, and also do it for Ah Tang. The palace maid, the eunuch, and the eunuch, all of them."
"Long live!"
The two children cried out happily.
Qin Chang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking about the expressions that the craftsmen of the Neifu Construction Office would show when they heard the news tomorrow.
Under the crow-colored sky, Wan Zhen'er took Wanda's hand and bid farewell to him.
Ever since she was sent to a place where she could not see her relatives by Wan Gui in her childhood, she had long given up the thought of being able to go out of the palace and reunite with her family.The favor of going out of the palace to visit relatives is too much, and she has been criticized by others outside the court, so she can't say this no matter what.
I didn't expect that thanks to Wanda's blessing, I would still have the opportunity to go out of the palace, reunite with my family, and have fun with the common people in this life.Although the happy time was very short, only half a night, Wan Zhen'er was already satisfied.
"Uncle Lang, please do your job well. Ah Zhi's West Factory will still need your help next year."
Before driving back to the palace, Zhu Jianshen turned his head and smiled at Wanda.
Looking at the carriage going away, Wanda turned around, looked up at the big signboard of "Xinghaihui", turned around and smiled at Yang Xiuxian.
