Princess Consort Raising Children
Chapter 3 Lantern Festival, Lanterns, and Cat Masks
After the Spring Festival, the weather is very cold.It snowed a few more times in the capital, but fortunately, Wen Yu's attention was all on that little Wangwang recently, and he didn't bother to go out to play in the snow.
On the first day of the new year, the princess and her son-in-law go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor to pray for good luck in the new year.
Wen Yu returned to the palace for the first time after her marriage.Seeing a man sitting alone on a golden dragon chair far away, I still only have the word "compassion" for this man in my heart after all these years.
Yan Wang sat beside Wen Yu, maintaining the majestic aura of a great general.Listening to the emperor's flat words of praise for the new couple, he occasionally had to stand up and toast to thank the emperor for his approval.
Although it is a family banquet, the etiquette rules are prosperous and complicated.Wen Yu carefully abides by the rules with 120 hearts.At the end, I heard the praise of the emperor's brother for Yan Wang: "The eighth younger sister has changed a lot since she married into the general's mansion. In the past, she seldom followed the rules like this. I also heard that the people praised the good story between General Yan and Princess Wen Yu. I really entrusted my little sister to the right person."
Wen Yu kept pursing her lips and smiling, not daring to eat much.Hearing what the emperor said, he even lowered his head shyly.I don't know what kind of expression Yan Wang next to me has at this time.
"My minister and Princess Wen Yu are a perfect couple, and my minister, on behalf of Wen Yu, thanked the emperor for his kindness." Yan Wang said every word with force.Seeing the son-in-law get up to drink to the emperor, Wen Yu also lowered his head, picked up the wine glass, and drank together.
By the time the family banquet in the palace was over, it was getting late, and the emperor knew that Wen Yu was worried about those animals, so he didn't leave them to spend the night in the palace.
Wen Yu drank too much at night, and she wobbled in the sedan chair, bumping her head against the corner of the sedan chair several times.Make a thud-thump sound.The bearers who heard it were terrified.
After leaving the palace, Yan Wang took the man out of the sedan chair, rode with him, hugged him to his chest, and wrapped him in a cloak made of black fox fur, so that he would feel more comfortable when he fell asleep. .
Wen Yu was dressed as a palace lady that day, with the dragon and phoenix jade hairpin bestowed by the emperor when they got married in a bun on their heads.On the first day of the new year, they wear red festive coats.The combination of one red and one green doesn't look tacky, on the contrary, it complements Wen Yu's fair face even more beautiful.
Wen Yu slept soundly in Yan Wang's arms.The horse's walking speed is not fast, and the body is shaken comfortably.
Although Wen Yu was overwhelmed with alcohol, she was not so drunk that she passed out.He knew that he was being held in his arms and riding on a horse, and he knew who that person was without thinking about it.The two were so close, Wen Yu listened carefully to Yan Wang's heartbeat.
One click, two clicks, three clicks—well, very steady.Probably don't have to die tonight.
But now it's the Chinese New Year, so he wouldn't choose to strike at this time. Thinking about the bad luck of being infected with a dead person during the Chinese New Year, the general should be so unlucky.
Wen Yu felt at ease, so she also started deliberately making trouble for the people behind her.
"My son-in-law, my son-in-law, tell me, this princess is more beautiful, or your former wife is more beautiful?" Wen Yu asked mutteringly.
Yanwang's ex-wife, Xia Wanyao's Xia family, is a sensitive word in the General's Mansion.After Xia's death, no one dared to mention it in front of the general.
At this time, Wen Yu and Yan Wang walked in the front, and the servant and Yan Wang's two younger brothers followed far behind.That's right, now the general and his wife are sharing a ride with you and me, no one dares to come up and have a look.
"Princess is more beautiful." Yan Wang replied quickly.
"Liar. Your heart is beating fast." Wen Yu was actually talking flustered.But that's what he said.
"..." Yan Wang didn't answer.
"If, if I were a woman, would you fall in love with me?" Wen Yu did it on purpose, he thought he was drunk anyway.Whatever you say should do.Just wake up tomorrow and act like I didn't say anything.
"The princess was joking. I only have the princess in my heart, and I have no second thoughts." Yan Wang took a light breath and spoke calmly.
But Wen Yu still felt the rapidly accelerating sound behind him.
"...breathing doesn't work, my husband has to think of other ways. You can't even hide it from me, my brother is a hundred times more cunning than me. Do you understand?" Wen Yu giggled.He deliberately moved his head on the side of Hades' face, making his neck itchy.
Suddenly the horse stopped, and the general's mansion arrived.
The heating behind him suddenly disappeared.Yan Wang got off the horse first, and when he got on the horse's back, Wen Yu felt his waist tighten, and Yan Wang held him in his arms.
He only heard the exclamation of the servants, and someone said in a low voice: Tsk tsk, the general and the princess are so in love, I really envy others, such a good story, a good story...
Wen Yu smiled in that man's arms like a camellia in a winter night.
Yan Wen and Yan Qie left Beijing on the ninth day of the lunar new year and went back to work as errands in the local area.During the Lantern Festival, there were only Yan Wang and Wen Yu in the family.Those dignitaries and dignitaries celebrating the New Year are almost here these days, and the storeroom at home is full of their congratulatory gifts.Yan Wang asked Wen Yu to choose what he liked.Wen Yu looked through it, and most of the gifts given to him were rouge and gouache and colorful calico fabrics from Miss Zheng's house.Except when he entered the palace and was dragged out by Yan Wang to support the scene, he needed to use these. On weekdays, he just took a jade hairpin and put it in a bun, and stayed in the room wearing plain cedar.He really can't use it.
The housekeepers and servants in the General’s Mansion are also used to Princess Wen Yu’s casual attire at home. In fact, it’s pretty good-looking. I’ve seen too many ladies and wives with heavy makeup outside. No matter how you look at it, it’s Princess Wen Yu who is dressed in light makeup at home. With a touch of chic.
Tangyuan is eaten during the Lantern Festival, and the lanterns in the capital should not be missed.
In the past in the palace, Wen Yu was a princess so naturally he couldn't go to the street to watch the lanterns.
So he specifically asked Yanwang to let him go and see what the Lantern Festival lanterns in the city looked like.
The son-in-law agreed quickly.Said to Wen Yu: Come back after admiring the lanterns, I have something to discuss with you.Wen Yu didn't take it too seriously, thinking that the lantern is the most important thing now, and Yanwang just made him when he came back, thinking that it would be nice to see the lantern before he died.
So he happily went back to the house to dress up.When he came out, Yan Wang who was waiting outside was stunned for a long time——
Wen Yu was wearing men's clothes.His hair was also tied into a man's bun, and he was still wearing the plain jade hairpin that he usually wears, but he was a young man, not feminine at all, Yan Wang couldn't move his eyes no matter what.
Yan Wang stood there calmly. Fortunately, the two of them did not leave the Qianrun Pavilion, and Wen Yu never let his servants stay inside.No one saw Wen Yu's current attire.
The general tried his best to recall Wen Yu's usual appearance in women's clothing.It seems that except for the different hair bun, the different coat, the same pair of clear eyes, the same small nose, the same reddish corners of the mouth... just what is different, he can't say.
"I heard that people often meet people they like when viewing lanterns during the Lantern Festival. Tonight, my princess, no, my son, Sima Yan must try his luck. General Yan—please." Wen Yu made a request Gesture, gesture to go out.
But he was immediately pulled over.
"I don't wear too much, put on a coat before leaving." Yan Wang went to the cabinet to find the plainest cloak that Wen Yu usually wears, and wanted to put it on for someone.
It was that person who refused: "No, why do you wear so little, I want to wear the same ones as zongzi? Girls also have requirements for their figures, okay?" Wen Yu didn't look like a woman when she got angry. It was so soft.More manly disdain.
"If you don't put it on, you don't want to go anywhere." Yan Wang didn't back down.The hand holding Wen Yu tightened.
Wen Yu was annoyed, but he couldn't beat the general. "Then you put on the cloak too, otherwise it's not fair."
……
In order to avoid the eyes of the next person.The two ordered their servants to rest, then blew on the lights in the room, and climbed over the wall to exit the General's Mansion.
The cloaks of the two of them did get in the way when they climbed over the wall.When Yanwang caught Wen Yu who jumped from above, and hugged him full of him, he found that there was a little white fox in Wen Yu's arms.
"Why did you take him..."
"Xiao Wangwang said he wanted to come too, but I can't help it." Wen Yu ignored the general and walked very quickly.
Lanterns for the Lantern Festival can be seen everywhere in the capital city.
The closest lantern show to the General's Mansion is Heqing Lane, which is next to the Fanshui River, and several arch bridges are colorfully decorated with lanterns of various shapes.
Yan Wang has been quietly following Wen Yu's footsteps.It could be seen that the person was very happy and excited, but probably because of the white fox in his arms, Wen Yu didn't dare to squeeze into crowded places.
The little white fox has always been very obedient, sneaking a small head out of Wen Yu's plain cloak, looking around, very similar to his master's eyes.
"Brother Yan, eh, lend me some money—" Wen Yu suddenly turned to look for someone, and in the middle of speaking, she jumped on Yan Wang's body, and the two of them stayed very close.
Yan Wang took out a money bag.Pass it to Wen Yu.Seeing that Wen Yu opened the bag and took out the taels of silver, he looked at it: "Brother Yan, it's -- it's a lot of taels of silver, is it enough to buy that cat mask?"
"Enough to buy all the masks on this street." Yan Wang looked at the gold ingot in Wen Yu's hand.
"Oh, that's good." Wen Yu held the ingot in his hand and went to buy a mask.
"Wait." Yan Wang pulled him back, took the ingot back, and led him to the stall: "Which one do you want?"
Wen Yu pointed to the mask of a spotted cat.
The boss looked at the two people very attentively: "Bosses, you have really good eyesight. The pattern of this flower cat is the best one sold here. It is fifty cents each."
Wen Yu looked at Yanwang.Yan Wang took out a small piece of silver from his bag and gave it to the boss, "You don't need to look for it." He took the mask and gave it to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu smiled, and suddenly put the mask on Yan Wang's head.Look left and right.Very satisfied.This is how I put it on my face.
The two were about to leave when the boss called out, "You two young masters are really generous, but the money is too much, and I can't bear it with my conscience, why don't you two see if there are any tricks you like and pick a few more?" , These are all made by the little one and his wife one by one, the quality is good. If there are children in the family, take a few home, they will definitely like it."
The tourists around the two also stopped to look at the two handsome men. A child pointed to Wen Yu who was wearing a mask and said, "Big brother, you look so good-looking."
Wen Yu is happy.At this time, the little fox in his arms suddenly poked his head out, moving his head, staring at a fox mask on the boss's shelf.
Wen Yu suddenly thought of something.He picked out a few more cat and dog masks, and of course a fox mask, and finally gave the boss all the broken silver in Yan Wang's purse, and left happily.
"Here, here." Wen Yu gave Yan Wang a dog mask.
"Why am I a dog?"
"Cats and dogs are a family. Never heard of it?" Wen Yu smiled and pointed to her face.On the top is a tabby cat, with a pair of bright and beautiful eyes shining through the hollowed out place.
After Wen Yu bought a few more lanterns, ate the Lantern Festival from a small stall, and took a few more candy figurines, he suddenly realized: Hey, isn't this young master here to find a girl who is destined?Where's the girl?
Yan Wang looked at him helplessly, and pointed to the gradually deserted street.Brought him back to the General's Mansion...
On the first day of the new year, the princess and her son-in-law go to the palace to pay homage to the emperor to pray for good luck in the new year.
Wen Yu returned to the palace for the first time after her marriage.Seeing a man sitting alone on a golden dragon chair far away, I still only have the word "compassion" for this man in my heart after all these years.
