Chapter 168 Like to celebrate New Year's Eve, firecrackers cause trouble
Xue Qianwu's body is fine. He took the medicine on time on the first day, then slept soundly and basically recovered. After recovering from the cold, he put on the maid's clothes with great interest and said to Si Luan and Rugu, "Today's New Year's Eve, this dry courtyard is too cold. Why don't we find some red paper? Let's cut some couplets, paste some lanterns together, and decorate the courtyard?"
They are also idle and naturally happy. Because Ganlin's courtyard has been unreliable for a long time, the slaves in the front yard of the prince's mansion are sometimes lazy and piled up many semi-new and old groceries into the ghost courtyard. Therefore, there is no shortage of materials. After a while, Silan and Rugu have collected many necessities.
Xue Qianwu looked at the big red paper, held it in his hand, and smiled with satisfaction, "Sure enough, there are many of these. This paper was carefully picked up, but some places were broken and abandoned here. In fact, the color is quite bright, and the paper is also excellent. If it is used for those poor scholars to write and practice, I don't know how well-being it should be.
Si Luan cut the scissors and smiled, "It's not a pity to write couplets as lanterns. After all, it is our master girl who knows how to be thrifty and turn waste into treasure.
Everything was ready. Xue Qianwu picked up a brush that was not very bald from the corner, dipped some very bad ink, dipped it in it, and held his cheek and didn't know what to write. For a moment, I remembered the exciting years when I painted a portrait for Dongfang Ye, when I was sweating like rain with my beggar brothers and brothers. But it was so fast and urgent that it hurried away like running water. It's been a long time since we separated. How are they? Is Miss Yanzhi still used to it after going there for half a year? How about the old dove who came to Beijing to propose marriage but was swept out because of new hatred and old hatred? Did he recognize his son? What kind of mentality will his son Jia Yubo and his daughter-in-law Su Xier accept such an unrespectful father?
Thinking in a daze, she didn't realize that the ink flowed back along the pen and blackened her hand. When I didn't caress my hair, it turned into a funny cat face.
Si Luan and Ru Gu couldn't stop laughing. Xue Qianwu was still confused: "What's wrong with you? Are you attached to the laughing god?"
Rugu "Ouch" covered his stomach and brought a mirror. Xue Qianwu looked at the miserable image in the mirror, stretched out his tongue to make a grimace, and sang with a smile: "Blue-faced Dorr steals jade horses, red-faced Guan Gong fought against Changsha, yellow-faced Dianwei white-faced Cao Cao, black-faced Zhang Fei chirped..."
Ru Gu and Si Luan were not very understandable, but they were once again impressed by her funny movements and exaggerated voice.
Xue Qianwu shaved his face and said, "It's so boring! I haven't used my skills yet. You two are all laughing; I'll change some more tricks and won't make you laugh!"
"Rugu, don't laugh. The girl's voice just now is better than the real actor on the stage!" Si Luan praised, turned around and poured some hot water to wipe Xue Qianwu's face.
Ru Gu curled his lips and said, "How can you compare our girl with those actors!" Why is it a pure hobby, free and nature-oriented? Is it the kind of rigid one that can match?
Si Luan complained to Xue Qianwu aggrievedly, "Look, I just said it casually and was caught by her!" The knife is really unforgiving, and there can't be any mistakes in the words!"
Xue Qianwu saw them fight, pinched his waist and smiled, "Who said I had the talent to sing just now? I couldn't amuse you now, but I got mixed up? Does my voice still have the charm of causing disputes?"
Ru Gu and Si Luan laughed again. Xue Qianwu said to himself at the table like a headache: "What kind of couplet should I write? You two give me some advice!"
Si Luan thought for a while and gave advice: "Just write about the lively celebration of the Spring Festival, and it will be more peaceful and cheerful!"
Rugu immediately objected: "This does not reflect our girl's talent and level! Although I don't read much, I feel that whether I am writing poems or couplets, I should say that I can show a unique charm. It's better for a girl to write a face to celebrate the Spring Festival, but the connotation is missing... Isn't it good that someone will see it in the future, and the two hearts are connected and smile at each other?"
Xue Qianwu clicked her head and said anly, "This baby is getting more and more unkind!"
Si Luan smiled without saying anything. Rugu urgently said, "I'm obviously good for girls, but you don't understand a good intention!" Forget it, you just scriscriminately!"
"Be careful, are you really angry?" Xue Qianwu smiled and said, and immediately felt a little worried: "I also want this dry hospital to shine because of my couplet!" It's too clumsy, just as you said, can't it reflect my level? So no matter what, you have to hollow out your mind and polish your cells!"
Rugu clapped his hands and supported: "That's it!"
Xue Qianwu meditated, but his mind was like a spring to the limit, and he couldn't write a half a sentence. Impatiently, he said, "I can't stand at the table and wait for the couplet. Let's make lanterns first!" Maybe when the inspiration suddenly comes, the couplet will come out.
"You really can't force it." Ru Gu sat down and quickly put up the lantern. In no time, a beautiful and festive red lantern came out.
Xue Qianwu looked at it and loved it tightly. He fixed half of the candle in the radish ingot, lit it, and gently put it in. Probably too nervous. When I took my hand out from the inside, I accidentally brought down the candle and the lantern roared.
The two maids were shocked and rushed to get water to put out the fire. Fortunately, it's just a small lantern, and there are no flammable items around, otherwise wouldn't it cause a New Year's Eve fire?
Xue Qianwu covered his heartbeat and looked at the lantern burned by the fire. Suddenly, there was a couplet: "The candle fire stays in the heart of the cage, and the cold tree contains spring buds."
Rugu tried to taste: "It's just that it feels quite esoteric... and 'candle', 'station', and 'cold', 'containing', very clever..."
Xue Qianwu smiled and said, "This is the most implicit couplet I wrote in my life. On the surface, there is not only the meaning of celebrating New Year's Eve lanterns, but also the vitality and hope of winter and spring..."
"But what does it have to do with you and Dongfang Ye?" Rugu can't think of a name.
Xue Qianwu said, "This thing depends on the situation. I didn't realize it for a moment, but I felt it was excellent. Understanding in the heart, people with a heart can always see some different connotations. A thousand songs of "Remembering the South of the Yangtze River" has a thousand emotions.
"The girl is the same as Dongfang Ye and others. There is such a profound time that the maidservant can't understand." Ru Gu said with a bitter face.
Si Luan's eyes suddenly lit up: "Can you teach me poetry and make couplets?"
Xue Qianwu said in surprise, "What do you suddenly want to learn from this?"
Si Luan scratched her head and said, "It's just that it's very interesting. When I'm free, I can also find fun. I'm as shallow and ignorant as a deaf person so that you don't come together to say something.
Xue Qianwu shook his head and said, "Let me teach you. You really found the most lame master. I have never done correct poems. Once I write a poem, it must be a crooked poem.
Si Luan insisted: "Crooked poetry is also better than ignorance. It's crooked and interesting."
"I didn't expect that I could still be addicted to poetry!" Xue Qianwu finally accepted it. While writing the couplets on the red paper, he asked Rugu and the others to hang rows of lanterns.
After doing these, Xue Qianwu looked left and right and was very happy. The dilapidated courtyard can be so romantic after rough arrangement. In it, it reminds people of the bamboo fence hut in the mountains and the new house full of red happy characters. The simple groom, the shy bride, is the beautiful pair. It's just her husband, where is it now?
"We can also have a serious New Year's Eve in this little world!" Like a valley of joy, like a new warbler out of the nest.
Xue Qianwu's sad heart was also stained with pleasure. Those unpleasant emotions were instantly forgotten and he smiled, "This is not perfect! If it's not too flamboyant, I would like to make some fireworks and firecrackers to set off."
Ru Gu's eyes are full of worship: "Will you?"
Xue Qianwu said complaedly, "Those things are easy to do!" However, there is some material missing in the courtyard. Even if it is made, the sound is just like stepping on a bag!"
"That also needs to be done!" Ru Gu shook her arm and said, "Okay? Let me satisfy my curiosity!"
Xue Qianwu muttered, "This can't be done! If you disturb the people next to you, there is no way to live!"
"New Year's Eve is the most lively. They are all having fun at banquets and singing and dancing. Who will notice our remote ghost courtyard?" Silan also looked forward to it.
Xue Qianwu couldn't resist the two and ordered them to find some sulfur, carbon chips and so on. It was milled into powder, wrapped in rough and flammable paper, wrapped with leads, and wrapped tightly. A decent cannon took shape.
When night came and the palace was bustling, Xue Qianwu set off homemade firecrackers. Rugu and Si Luan covered their ears, dodged far away, and looked nervously at Xue Qianwu's movements.
Xue Qianwu didn't know what the power of the gun was, so he only took a slender dry bamboo pole, burned one head, and approached the lying cannon.
I only heard the crisp sound of "bang", and the debris flew to the sky, and finally the red scattered on the ground, which was very beautiful. Ru Gu and Si Luan looked at it for a while, and gradually became less afraid. They also learned from Xue Qianwu and set it up happily.
They are happy and play while making. At midnight, they are still making trouble. Si Luan burned a cannon, picked it up with a bamboo pole, and flew out of the door. Then he heard a tragic scream, which scared Xue Qianwu to bounce up.
When I stared out of the gate, I saw a woman dressed elegantly and elegantly, with a pale and shaky face. Her clothes were splashed with cannon debris and burned several holes. The maid next to her was stunned for a long time and jumped forward and scolded angrily, "What kind of thing is not long-sighted! How dare you throw cannons at the princess?!"
Xue Qianwu heard this scolding, and his blood suddenly went from head to toe. Why did thousands of people suddenly come to Ganlin Hospital? Or on New Year's Eve? This is the first time she has seen the legendary princess, but she didn't expect it to be such a good start!
What should I do? In what capacity should we meet? I heard that this princess is one in a hundred virtuous and gentle, can you tell her the truth? Frankly admit that you are the sweetheart of Lord Dongfang and have been hidden here to avoid the limelight?
My mind flashed, and then I rejected myself. It's better to pretend to be stupid first. It's not too late to hide it. According to tonight's situation, I'm afraid it's difficult to escape an interrogation.
What kind of unpardonable crime should be to set off firecrackers in the palace and scare the crown princess? Will you be beheaded? Xue Qianwu's stream of consciousness flowed quickly at this time.
"Presumptuous! Hurry up and kneel down!" The attendant comforted the frightened princess and said harshly to the three people.
After all, Xue Qianwu followed Si Luan and Ru Gu, like a little maid who did something wrong, and knelt down obediently.
Liu Caiqi found his voice at this time: "Where did the cannon come from?"
Xue Qianwu hesitated, do you want to say it? Unfortunately, judging from the current situation, even if she confessed, not only will she not reward her bandit goddess beggar with a "best talent award", but she may not even see the sun tomorrow.
"No, right?" Liu Cai's maid said, "Take all three of them away and torture them severely! Look at them still talking hard!"
Xue Qianwu's heart trembled and was about to speak when Liu Cai said, "New Year's Eve, don't let this unlucky thing spread to the emperor's ears!" Take it to the front yard, but I don't believe that the prince's mansion can't judge it.
Xue Qianwu's heart is beating tightly, isn't that to let the prince know? What a shame. Boarding under other people's roofs will cause trouble and trouble for him. The thickness of the skin is not enough, which is shameless...
"Princess, please calm your anger. This was all caused by a slave maidservant. If you want to punish the slave, just punish the maidservant and let go of the two who are unrelevant. Presumably, the prince is asleep, and the prince's considerate reputation has spread all over the palace. Don't disturb the prince for this little thing. I am willing to bear all the punishments on the spot; I hope the princess can be generous and forgive them. Thinking about it, Xue Qianwu had already said something.
Liu Caiping's voice could not distinguish unnecessary emotions: "Look up."
Xue Qianwu raised his head according to his words. If you don't look at the princess, you won't look at anything. The pupils are empty.
Liu Cai asked with a smile, "Are you Si Luan?"
"Ah?" Xue Qianwu didn't understand her meaning. Why did she ask about Si Luan?
Si Luan was obviously a big accident. He moved his knees with difficulty for a long time and took two steps in the direction of the crown princess standing: "I want to see the crown princess."
Liu Cai's eyes withdrew from Xue Qianwu, like a bright and burning sunlight, focusing on Si Luan's body. After looking at it for half a quarter of an hour, he nodded and praised, "Your appearance is really outstanding. I feel sorry to see it."
Si Luan sweated coldly and replied inaudiblely, "The princess is flattered."
"Get up, get up..." Liu Cai made a false action. Si Luan didn't expect her to be so kind. She stood up in astonishment. Before she stood firm, the maid next to Liu Caiping slapped her, and Si Luan knelt down on the ground again. Under the dim yellow candlelight, the swollen cheeks seemed to be red and bloody.
Xue Qianwu said urgently, "It's the maidservant who made the mistake!" Why did the princess get angry with her?
"It's nothing to you!" The maid said in a bad tone, "If you interrupt again, even you will fight together!"
Xue Qianwu was stunned and didn't understand what kind of play this was. The crisp sound of "pa" slapped Shi Luan's face quickly, and her cheeks were quickly swollen like steamed buns.
Xue Qianwu couldn't stand it any longer. He rushed forward and restrained the hand of the maid's vigorous palm.
The maid was stopped by someone. She moved a few times and couldn't get rid of it. The skin rose purple and scolded, "Don't you want to live?"
"Dogs fight for human power! You lost the princess's face!" Xue Qianwu said, "How can you be so indiscriminate? Before the princess opened her mouth, did you beat people randomly? If you want to fight, just come at me. It's nothing to bully a weak person!"
Then he said to the crown princess, "Please make it clear. What's wrong is the maidservant."
"It's bold and bold!" Liu Cai said with a smile, "It seems that there are many promising people among the maids."
Si Luan only lowered his head and sobbed. Liu Caiping was probably upset and simply put down a sentence: "There is a fox in the ghost courtyard, which is not a matter of a day or two! I have heard of this princess for a long time. Today, I just came to have a look, and I just want to eliminate Hu Meizi together at the end of the year, so as not to harm the world.
Xue Qianwu opened his eyes wide, and this Liu Caiping obviously pointed the spearhead at Si Luan! But who is Si Luan charming? He couldn't turn around and lay among them, and said earnestly, "Princess, slow down! I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding!"
"Misunderstanding?" Liu Cai said, "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, it is better to believe whether it is trustworthy or not. It will be too late when the prince's house is stirred up. It's your fault tonight, that's all! But this is called Silan. Be sure to take it away!"
Stlemate. Xue Qianwu knew very well that if the matter was finally made big, the three of them would have no way to survive. It's better to let the princess take away Si Luan first, secretly follow her, and then make a plan.
Get out of the way, Xue Qianwu said, "The crown princess has always had a good reputation, and I want to give Silan justice."
Si Luan was pulled away by brute force. She struggled and looked back, and her eyes were full of prayer. Xue Qianwu couldn't bear to look at it. After the princess went far away, she put on her clothes and followed her. Ru Gu couldn't rest assured and quietly followed Xue Qianwu to the front yard together.
When passing by Prince Zhao's bedroom, Si Luan, who had been crying in a low voice, suddenly shouted, "Prince! Prince!"
Liu Cai wanted to cover her mouth, but it was too late. The light in the prince's bedroom turned on, and there was a male voice: "Who is making noise?"
Liu Cai straightened her hair, restrained her skirt and prayed, "It still disturbed you."
Zhao Qian frowned and saw that it was Si Luan. He couldn't help asking eagerly, "What's the situation?"
Liu Caiping said, "My concubine has heard that the dry courtyard is gloomy. Today's Eve, the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums should be able to dispel the evil sycocious syco. So I went there to have a look, so that I can use the remaining festive atmosphere at the banquet to eliminate the evil spirit in the ghost courtyard! I didn't want to fly towards me as soon as I entered the courtyard door! My concubine's life was great, and fortunately she was not disabled, but in the deep courtyard of the palace, how could it be tolerated by a wild girl to set off firecrackers? Today, I am a concubine. What if tomorrow you are the prince?!"
Zhao Qian heard the words and said nervously, "Is Si Luan alone firing?"
"My concubine saw that she picked out the cannon with a bamboo pole!" Liu Cai said, "On New Year's Eve, if you can forgive, you can forgive. Forget the two pardons, but the culprits can never be tolerated!"
Zhao Qian breathed a sigh of relief, squinted for a few seconds, and asked, "What do you think you should do?"
"To death, drag it to the mass grave!" Liu Cai said.
Si Luan was so scared that she knelt on the ground and cried, "It's not a slave... I'm just playing with her... The cannon is not a slave..."
