Chapter 139 Koi + Lantern Festival
The [-]th day of the first lunar month was supposed to visit relatives, but the emperor's decree was issued too late, the yards of each family were not repaired, and several families submitted memorials, requesting to change it to visit relatives next year.The emperor looked at the blueprint of their relative's villa with grief, while holding his heart to see the price reimbursement that can be found out now, it really hurts.
A lot of small money, you are so hot and rich, you are a big dog, when will I be able to raid your home?
The whereabouts of a large amount of small money is unknown-it didn't go into my treasury anyway!
Sadly, the emperor threw his head into the empress' arms, rubbed it for a long time, and sighed refreshedly: "The spring night is bitter and the day is high, and the king will not go to court early from now on."
The queen's face was flushed with embarrassment, she didn't know whether it was better to cover her face or her chest, anyway, let's fasten her apron first: "What's wrong?"
The emperor sighed deeply, and lay down on the couch like a salted fish: "In the last few years of the Supreme Emperor's reign, he hardly went to the court. All these years, I have been conscientious and hardworking, and my deeds are worthy of being called Mingjun. The result? The court is full of mediocre goods, and the treasury is still empty. What have I done these years?"/(ㄒoㄒ) /~~
The queen put on the clothes, and looked at the embroidery and the laces that were scratched and torn by him distressedly, tsk, this dress is worth a thousand taels of silver, don't mess around.It's just that this can't be said now, and the emperor will be depressed after saying it.
She had no choice but to say softly: "Your Majesty, I don't know how to govern a country. I only know that illnesses come like mountains and go away like silk. How can a doctor just take over, and the patient immediately jumps up like a tiger, so you have to take it slowly."
The emperor moaned and groaned unhappy: "Yes, yes, what you said is correct, governing a big country is like cooking a small dish, hey? Is it delicious?"
The queen was confused: "What?"
The emperor sat up abruptly: "Last time Dong Lai and I discussed what it means to govern a big country like cooking small fish, and he said two ways."
"what?"
"Small crucian carps one inch or two inches long are fried in a pan with oil over low heat until they are browned and crispy, then flipped over and fried again, the bones are crispy." The emperor said with joy: "Or pointing to It’s stewed crispy fish, the small fish is baked thoroughly with sauce, it’s delicious.”
The queen swallowed: "Have you eaten?"
The emperor shook his head regretfully: "I also wanted to eat it at the time, but Dong said that his beloved sister Zelan was not at home, so no one would make it. Pfft."
The queen knew what he was laughing at, and she laughed too: "Okay, most people don't know how to eat this way. Now that I remembered it today, I'll ask someone to do it. I'm so hungry."
The emperor thought about it for a while: "No, there should be no small fish in the cold weather now, right? I remember that only young animals are born in spring, and the fish should be similar." His eyes fell on the water lily goldfish tank in the house: "Isn't there Is it?"
The queen was stunned for a while: "This is a koi, shouldn't it be eaten?"
The emperor... As an emperor, do you expect him to understand the differences between various fish?He was serious: "It's all fish, and it doesn't have long legs. What can't you eat?"
The queen said: "This is colorful, and usually fish are gray."
The emperor got off the ground, ran over to the fish tank, pulled the little red fish in the painted white porcelain tank on the outside, and said irresponsibly: "It turns gray when cooked, you know? It's not red when it's ripe."
The queen said suspiciously: "Seafood is really strange, the gray ones turn red, and the red ones... No! There is a pond in the imperial garden dedicated to the carp and crucian carp that are caught for eating. Those fish are gray! You lied to me again!"
The emperor spread his hands regretfully, and teased her: "Don't you want to eat the little crispy fish?"
The female officer had no choice but to come out and say: "Your Majesty, empress, can you send someone to the imperial dining room to ask? Now there are big fish, maybe there are also small fish?"
The emperor nodded: "Okay." He lay back down in a state of disenchantment, hugging the pillow: "Hey, being a Mingjun is really tiring. No wonder so many emperors just started to work hard and do anything for the throne, but later they are as lazy as pigs and dogs. It's all tiring."
The queen got off the kang slowly, walked to the side of the fish tank, and sprinkled a handful of fish food in distress: "You poor ones. If I didn't respond in time, you would have to eat the soup pot."
At this time, there was a knock on the door: "Your Majesty, empress, please see Princess Xuanzhen."
The emperor sat upright slowly, took out a copy of the Tao Te Ching solemnly, and read it in his hand: "Let her in."
Daiyu came in to greet him, and leaned in front of him: "Brother~ Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival~"
The emperor put the book next to him, and said with a smile: "Daiyu... want to go out to watch the Lantern Festival?" I want to take the queen out to play, I don't want to take you... Oh, you have your elder brother Saburo~ Pat the mat and motion for her Sit aside.
Daiyu blushed and nodded: "Mmm..."
The emperor laughed gossipingly: "Who are you going with?"
Daiyu wanted to talk about Brother Sanlang. After all, there is no one else who can play with her now, but she was a little embarrassed and said shyly: "Brother, I can do it alone. I have grown up."
The emperor was bewildered by the cuteness: "Haha, I used to say that too." Going to see the lantern with A-Jiang, got lost in the crowd while eating candied haws, hid alone in the alley and almost cried, Tsk, don't mention the past again.
The queen had no experience in sneaking out of the palace to watch the lantern festival, so she listened to the conversation and threw fish food into the tank one by one.
Daiyu caressed her face with her hands, her face was a little red, she put down her hands and grabbed his cuffs and acted coquettishly: "Is it okay, brother~" Anyway, every time she asks Master for something like this, she always agrees~ Master is so cute !I'm going to sneak a peek at her and give her a little surprise.
The emperor's bones were crisp, and he shouted in his heart: I want a daughter like this!
real!There must be such a cute daughter.
He stroked his non-existent beard solemnly: "No, someone must accompany you out. You can also bring two guards. No matter how good your martial arts are, after all, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. There will be many traffickers on festivals. In case someone What should I do if I shoot you with drugs?"
Daiyu said calmly: "Hold your breath in time and kill the opponent, and then use your internal force to force the poison, and pouring cold water on the face can also cure it."
The emperor thought of 'a certain kind of magic drug, after taking this drug, you must have a person of the opposite sex as the antidote, otherwise you will explode and die', just about to ask what to do if you encounter this drug. Think of it in time, you can't say this kind of thing!
Daiyu took a sip of tea and showed off a little: "Recently it's too cold to be bothered to move. Master has collected all kinds of drugs in the rivers and lakes, and asked me to try them one by one. I will never be fooled." Great!In spring and autumn, I practice martial arts outdoors, in summer I meditate indoors, in winter I learn knowledge from the rivers and lakes, hold the hand stove and smell the "chicken crowing, five drums breaking the soul", and sleep soundly.
The emperor was a little excited: "What! Are all the drugs in your room?"
Daiyu was shocked: "Ah..." Ah, I live in the palace now, I can't bring those messy things into the palace, alas, the ladies in the palace don't know, I hide the things on the beams, Why did you say it was exposed today?
The emperor was very curious. After reading martial arts novels for so many years, his favorite was all kinds of strange medicines.But, you really can't indulge in such things as bringing the drug into the palace.
He lowered his voice: "There can't be that kind of thing in the palace. If you want to play with drugs, go outside the palace to play. If someone with a heart finds out and uses it to harm others, you will inevitably be responsible."
Daiyu said softly: "No one knows, the things are kept in a very safe place, and I didn't tell anyone."
The emperor was very satisfied that she only told himself this, and licked his lips: "Where did you put it?" Want to play!
Daiyu said: "Yao Sanlang, why would I keep the medicine in my room?"
The emperor whispered: "That's not okay, I didn't know before, I indulged you. Take it back as soon as possible, it will be confiscated."
Daiyu secretly regretted her slip of the tongue, and said with a smile, "There isn't much left, only a little bit, should I just burn it?"
The emperor blinked: "Why is there not much left? Who did you use it for?"
Daiyu said: "Every sample comes with a little bit. Master told me to smell what I should smell and taste what I should taste. I know what it smells and I can react when I encounter it."
The emperor was a little worried: "Won't it be harmful to the body?"
Daiyu thought about it carefully: "Well... there is no harm, just try again before going to bed, if you don't sleep for two or three hours, you will be sleepy at night and can't fall asleep."
The emperor looked up to the sky and sighed, quite moved: "Do you have a headache the next day? Are you dizzy?"
"No dizziness, I don't feel anything."
"Very good." The emperor said: "Bring me the rest. I haven't been able to sleep well at night recently. Hey, I'm too busy to sleep every day when I am reviewing memorials. I wanted to take advantage of these few days to rest and catch up on sleep, but I didn't." Looking at the memorial, I can't sleep! I'm really angry!"
Daiyu laughed, and said hesitantly: "Then you can't use drugs to sleep. Master said that I will not be fascinated by trying a few more times to get used to it. It should be useless after a few times."
The emperor curled his lips: "It's okay, the memorial will be read in a few days."
The queen wanted to stop it, but felt that the emperor was really bored these days and nights. You can't sleep all night, and you can't keep asking me to chat with you, and toss and turn without chatting with you. I can't sleep all night. good!Forget it if you lose your mind!Anyway, seeing Daiyu's complexion is quite good, the medicine should have no side effects.
Daiyu had no choice but to agree: "Then I'll get it."
The emperor watched her go out, and laughed happily: "Yu'er forgot to ask her if she could go out to play, hahaha."
The queen grabbed the box again, but she didn't hold anything in her hand. She looked down and was shocked: "Ah! A box of fish food has been thrown in!" A small goldfish in a tank ate it stupidly. I rolled my eyes so much.
The emperor came over and took a look: "Hey, you can eat this time. Good lady, you are so gentle and considerate. She said that you won't let me eat it, but you can still eat it."
The queen was very distressed, and slapped him twice with her small pink fist: "Come quickly and fish out the fish, change the water in a tank, and try to see if you can still live."
The emperor stayed by his side to dislike him: "I know how to cook, why don't you give it a try." The Laozi in the Tao Te Ching didn't claim to be.
The queen covered her heart sadly, gritted her teeth and said, "If your majesty wants to eat, you can cook it and eat it. It's just that this fish is fed to death by fish food, so your majesty can eat fish food without feeling disgusting." Are these fish stupid? , I'll just eat it for you?Why didn't it kill you when you were in the river?
The emperor just shut up, people don't want to eat fish food.
Daiyu came out of the house and was blown by the cold wind, thinking about it, something was wrong. Just now she said 'try the drug before going to bed', and then said 'the drug is in Yao Sanlang's hands', tsk, how can I explain it?Think about it carefully, it's so strange!I have to say that there is a little in the house, tsk, I just said that I don’t have it in the house.I'm really not good at lying, the way I say it is full of loopholes, really.
She went back to the house and took down the box from the beam, picked up a small tin box, held her breath and opened it for a look. The fragrant cake inside was small, so she closed the lid and took it. "Brother, hold your breath, this little pancake will be fine if you smell it, you will wake up after two or three hours of sleep, if someone is holding your breath, come over and cover the lid, otherwise you will sleep forever." She also felt dizzy, and quickly closed the lid.
The emperor was quite curious: "Is this the legendary five-drum rooster crowing incense?"
Daiyu was shocked: "How do you know?" I was afraid that this name would be unlucky, so I didn't dare to say it!
The emperor said calmly: "This is my world, what is there that I don't know?"
Of course it was the martial arts novel provided by Ajaan.Hahahaha, take this fragrant cake to show off to him in two days, he must have never seen it, I am indeed rich in the world, haha.
Daiyu said: "Hey, can I go out to play tomorrow?"
When the emperor was proud, he didn't bother to ask who she took, whether it was Yao Sanlang, and waved his hand generously: "Go, bring the knife, silver and guards, pay attention to safety."
Daiyu got up and gave a blessing: "Thank you, brother." Then she was about to leave. Seeing the queen weeping at a tank of belly-turning fish, she went to comfort her and said, "Life and death are determined by fate and wealth. Frozen to death in the ice and snow is considered a blessing."
The queen began to cry: "The fish I have raised for two years..."
The emperor said in his heart: You have raised the four tanks to death, and these are all replaced with new ones. You didn't see them die before.Zitong, haven't you noticed that these fish haven't grown up for so many years?He left gently, not wanting to tell her what he really wanted.
Daiyu continued to comfort her: "This little carp can live for two years."
The emperor heard this sentence outside the door, secretly praised her, and left in peace.
The queen stopped looking at the dead fish, walked back and sat down, and wiped her tears sadly: "Daiyu, don't fool me, I have raised several tanks of fish to death in recent years, and they secretly replaced them with new ones, thinking I didn't I know. These little creatures are so innocent, why did they fall into my hands."
Crying and crying, the topic changed from batch after batch of fish being stuffed to death, to the fact that the victims were starving to death, but here the fish were being stuffed to death, which is really sad.
Daiyu was a little ashamed, it turns out that the empress is so worried about the country and the people, she is the mother of the country.
The empress continued to cry, but the topic had changed: "My mother is sick, she can't come to the palace to see me this year, and I can't go back to my mother's house to take care of her illness. The empress dowager pretends to be sick and I'm going to serve tea and medicine. Still being ridiculed by her, why, woo woo woo woo..."
Daiyu had nothing to comfort her, so she had no choice but to comfort her chest silently.
The empress also had some words that she couldn’t cry: she always felt a little sick recently, but the emperor was right next to her, so she didn’t dare to show it. to make trouble.
Hmph, you still want me to give you a hug, dreaming, I usually feel disgusted when I stare at it for a while when I mention this, now?Hmph, spit all over you!Pooh!
She cried for a while, and felt much more comfortable in her heart. After crying, she felt sleepy: "Hurrah, I feel much more comfortable after crying for a while, Daiyu, why are your eye circles red? It's okay, don't feel sorry for me, the emperor treats me so much." Well, it's rare in ancient times."
Daiyu is actually homesick, and after thinking about it, I will go out of the palace tomorrow during the Lantern Festival, so I can go home for a while!OK!She smiled happily: "You wet three handkerchiefs from crying, how can I not feel sorry for you. Sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do, think about where I should move when the spring comes, or I haven't moved yet after the little prince is born." Let’s go, the vagueness will bother you even more.”
The queen nodded: "I have made some preparations, but I haven't chosen the address yet. Should I build a new palace for you, or tidy up the current one for you to live in. The concubines live close to each other, while princesses and princes live far away. The emperor doesn't want you to live too far away, and if he wants to build a new palace, he has no money."
Daiyu said: "Where's the bamboo forest? I like the three bamboo huts. If it's not cold in winter, I can live there."
The queen thought for a while: "Well, it would be very good to build a small courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River, hidden in the bamboo forest..." She smiled bewilderedly: "Shenxian Yao lives in the bamboo forest all summer, and you robbed him of his place. , he was unhappy and ran over crying again."
Daiyu snorted, "No way, brother Sanlang swears that he will control himself and not cry easily."
The queen's eyes were still red, and she collapsed on the bed laughing.
The emperor was in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, looking at the news reports from all over the country sent from the east, and sighed when he saw that the corruption in Jin was serious and the people were struggling.
Seeing the northern soldiers who were transferred to southern Xinjiang, many of them could not bear the cold and fell ill, so I had to sigh again.
When he was sighing for the fake auspiciousness of a certain place, the eunuch reported: "Really Yao, please see me."
Emperor: "Please come in."
Yao Sanlang's Eguanbo belt is as beautiful as a crown king and looks like a fairy;
The emperor endured and endured: "It's winter, you are wearing such light and elegant clothes, isn't it really cold?"
Yao Sanlang proudly pointed to the top of his head: "Three flowers gather on the top of the five qi, which prevents cold in winter and prevents heat stroke in summer."
The emperor was speechless for a long time, and asked him expressionlessly: "Shenxian Yao is here, what's the matter?"
Yao Sanlang blushed slightly: "Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, I want to go out with Daiyu, okay?"
Emperor: "Did you ask her out?"
"not yet."
"She asked you out?"
Yao Sanlang looked disappointed: "No..."
The emperor snickered in his heart: "Okay, let's go. Sanlang, she is a weak little girl with little experience, you must protect her well." Oh hehehehe~ oh hehehe~ She may not want to ask you out, I wait It's too late to watch the fun!
Yao Sanlang nodded shyly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty...do I look good in this dress?"
Emperor O(∩_∩)O: "It looks good.".
There was nothing to talk about at dinner, the emperor couldn't help laughing, the laughing queen wanted to stun him with fragrant cakes, and the laughing Daiyu couldn't help asking: "Brother, what is so funny?"
The emperor pursed his lips: "There is a very stupid idiot. I was thinking about scolding him. I was so angry that I couldn't help it. I just thought about it. Muhou is not as good as this. Come on, you can mock him for me."
Daiyu looked at the fish soup in the bowl: "Stir the paste in your head, you're still an idiot, not thinking. No, this sentence almost feels like something..."
The emperor continued: "Ahahahaha"
The queen smiled and said nothing: Suddenly, I feel that these two people are so irritating!
The next day, the 15th day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
In the first quarter of the year, I had dinner, and in the second quarter of the first day, I went to Baoling Palace to worship Buddha.Then Daiyu gave Yao Sanlang a wink, got up and left.Yao Sanlang didn't look at the lamp at all, he only looked at her, and when she saw her go, he hurriedly followed: "Where is sister going?"
Daiyu stood in the dimly lit place: "I'm waiting for you."
Yao Sanlang only felt the power of color and soul, and hurried forward: "What do you want my sister to do?"
Daiyu lowered her head and smiled: "I want to go home and have a look. You can take me there, okay?"
What's wrong with this kind of thing?
Yao Sanlang pulled her up to Yuntou and glanced over the market: Dongfeng puts flowers and thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, stars are like rain.BMW carving cars are fragrant all over the road.The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. "I'll be back later, the market is still there before midnight, and I still have time to watch the lights."
Daiyu was eager to return home, temporarily ignored these beautiful lights, and nodded: "Okay."
Skipping countless cities with bright lights and fiery trees and silver flowers, he went straight to the south of the Yangtze River hidden in the clouds, and arrived at Lin's mansion in a blink of an eye.
Because it was late at night, the husband and wife looked at some lanterns hastily, and thought it was cold, so they went back to the house early to sit and chat with each other with candles.
Lin Ruhai squeezed her beard: "Is it time for Daiyu to sleep?"
During the Lantern Festival, I feel lonely and cold.
Jia Min frowned slightly: "Don't make her stomach hurt because she is greedy for Yuanxiao. That year she ate fresh meat Yuanxiao, and ate sweet-scented osmanthus and sesame. It was a mixture of sweet and salty, and the glutinous rice was not easy to digest. It was a full night of trouble. Alas, this year she is not in front of my eyes and no one is restraining her, she is going to eat indiscriminately again."
Lin Ruhai laughed: "Now, we can't worry about her anymore."
Daiyu pressed Luoyun's head, didn't care about anything, went directly to the door and pushed the door in: "Father, mother."
When the two mothers met, they hugged each other and cried, Daiyu was super capable of crying, and Jia Min was more capable of crying than her.
Lin Ruhai looked at Yao Sanlang with an inscrutable expression on his face, and said in his heart: Ah, is this my son-in-law?Tsk, I'm not very satisfied, I am a Tanhua, and my son-in-law is not even a Jinshi.He is a fairy, no matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't think that a fairy who wants to marry a wife is a good fairy.Wear tulle clothes in the winter, what are you talking about, you seem to be swaying.
He smiled gently, "Shenxian Yao, please have some tea."
Yao Sanlang looked at his father-in-law with a romantic and handsome face, and said in his heart: Oooh, father-in-law, did the emperor send someone to help me propose marriage? I'm so nervous, what should I do? I don't bring any presents when I propose marriage.
He smiled calmly: "Master Lin, thank you."
The background sound is: 咱咚咚*[-]
Lin Ruhai looked at the future son-in-law with a stern face, and smiled without saying a word.
Yao Sanlang felt uneasy (that one was dumbfounded that one...) On the surface he pretended to be very calm, after drinking three rounds of tea, he couldn't help but ask, "Master Lin, Xiaodao has something he doesn't understand. I want to ask for advice face to face, I wonder if Master Lin is willing to teach me?"
Lin Ruhai waved his hand quickly: "Don't dare, dare, God Immortal Yao has something to say, please don't be so modest."
Yao Sanlang asked implicitly: "Your Majesty has been here recently, do you have any wishes for you?"
Lin Ruhai was slightly taken aback: "There is a decree..." Looking at Yao Sanlang with a smile on his face, he was very unhappy: "It's just an ordinary reward and encouragement, nothing unusual."
Yao Sanlang forced a smile: "Oh, that's it, haha. It's good." How about helping me propose a marriage?Do you want me to find a certain senior brother to help me propose marriage?Forget it, I will be laughed at by my seniors for a long time, other than that, I don't know anyone else who is reliable.
Seeing Immortal Yao's expression of joy and anger, Lin Ruhai couldn't help laughing: "I understand what Immortal Yao means. Daiyu's birthday is coming soon. Immortal Yao, mortals are born, old, sick, and dying. Yu'er, she is the jewel in my palm and should not be taken lightly." May."
Yao Sanlang smiled: "It's natural."
_(:з」∠)_Are you being mean?
What is the relationship between life, old age, sickness and death of ordinary people and Daiyu?The jewel in your palm should not be promised lightly, can't you promise it to me casually?Or can no one else marry her except me, such a nice, perfect, gentle, handsome and considerate man?
(I hate reading comprehension)
The author has something to say: [Braised crispy fish (Guo Degang)]: I bought such a big crucian carp, without pancakes, it is also a big iron pot. There is a bowl in the middle of this pot, and the bottom of this bowl is flushed. Score the scallions, scallions, and scallions around the side of the bowl, and cut the scallions into such large pieces that they are about the size of the fish.

I'm such a moral and good baby if I didn't put it in the text to cheat money.
Daiyu's age line is really... I checked for a long time, and it got even more confusing.Originally, I wrote it myself in a mess, but in the Red Mansion, her age is even more vague than what I wrote, and there is no birthday in the whole book!So irritating!
