Chapter 62 "You Ning, Kuan'er, are you okay?"
"Okay, okay, come out now!"
The Shangyuan Festival is one of the most important festivals in the Tang Dynasty, but Xie Lian, as a doctor of Taixue, is not qualified to go to Taiji Palace for banquets.
But the opportunity was rare, so I planned to take my wife and children with me like other families to have a good time in Chang'an City, where the curfew was relaxed.
However, the couple had been waiting outside the door for a while. They didn't know what their children were doing and they didn't come out, so they urged.
Xie Lian was a little impatient while waiting, so he said to Mrs. Zhang, "I don't know what You Ning is doing. It's good to let Kuan'er go in and call for help. Even he won't come out."
"Okay, my eldest master, I have kept you waiting for a long time. My daughter has grown up and knows how to love beauty. What's wrong with it taking a long time?
Remember back then, when I went out to meet you, I didn't ask you to wait for an hour or half an hour, and I didn't see you being impatient at that time? "Ms. Zhang glanced at her husband and said angrily.
They were childhood sweethearts, they had known each other since childhood, and they had seen each other often before getting married. When his wife talked about the past, Xie Lian felt a little embarrassed.
"Okay, we're already an old couple, why are we talking about this?" Xie Lian said sarcastically.
"What? From what I'm saying, do you think I'm too old?" Ms. Zhang's eyebrows suddenly stood up.
Xie Lian's desire to survive was still very strong. He rolled his eyes, took his wife's hand and said affectionately: "How is that possible? Don't you understand my heart?"
Madam Zhang could withstand this, so she quickly shook off Xie Lian's hand and said, "We are an old couple, how can we let our children see it?"
Hearing her return her original words to him, Xie Lian curled his lips and thought: Ha, woman!
"Father and mother, we are coming out!"
Just as the couple was arguing, their son and daughter finally came out.
Then they saw a girl who looked like an elf walking towards them.
Even as parents, they were surprised by this daughter who looked completely different from her usual self.
A goose-yellow jacket, a moon-white cloak with embroidered patterns and mink fur, and a moon-white long skirt underneath.
There were small and exquisite boots under his feet. He held his hands in front of his abdomen, moved slightly to the left, crouched slightly with his legs, and gave them a ladylike salute.
"Okay, okay! I have a daughter in the Xie family. I don't know which boy I will take advantage of when the time comes." Seeing his daughter's appearance, Xie Lian thought that sooner or later he would take advantage of that bastard, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"Dad! What are you talking about! If you say anything else, I'll ignore you!" Xiao Nizi couldn't bear what her father said, so she immediately refused.
"That's right, how could you say that about your own daughter?"
Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter's grace with pleasure, and couldn't help but think of that well-behaved to myself: If only they could make it Not to mention Zhang's random thoughts, since everyone was here, Xie Lian didn't dare to delay any longer.
So, I took my family and walked to Zhuque Street.
In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Yuan sat high above the main hall. Looking at the Tang Dynasty civil and military officials gathered together, he was very high-spirited and said loudly.
"Hahahaha! Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and all of you have worked hard last year.
Therefore, I am holding a banquet tonight. I hope everyone will not be restrained. During the banquet, we will not talk about official matters, but only talk about censor? "
"I'm here!" A small official in a green robe came forward to wait for instructions.
"If anyone breaks the rules tonight, write it down. If you want to be punished, you can write a poem as punishment. Hahaha!" Li Yuan didn't know what he thought of and laughed.
"The minister obeys the order!"
"Let's begin!" Li Yuan whispered to the eunuch beside him.
The young eunuch came to the jade steps and announced loudly: "Your Majesty has decreed that the banquet begins! There will be ritual music."
Ji Song knelt and sat next to the pillar near the door. Above him was a somewhat arrogant old man.
Originally, it was an honor for him to be able to attend His Majesty's dinner.
But when he saw two teenagers behind him who were only a fraction of his age, he immediately became depressed.
Ji Song wanted to chat with the old man just now, but seeing his indifferent look, he had no interest.
Come on, ignore me. I'm not surprised at all!However, Ji Song felt depressed when he saw the silly child behind him who was younger than him.
Whose kid is this?He actually fell asleep in the Tai Chi Hall, and the water was flowing like a river.
"Hey! Get up quickly, you've wet the bed!" Ji Song knocked the child next to him with his arm and said in his ear.
"What? It's not me, it's not me!" The child, who was still a little confused in his sleep, jumped up and shouted.
"Ugh!" Ji Song quickly covered his mouth and whispered: "No, no, I'm just teasing you!"
Only then did the child see clearly what the scene was, and he glared at Ji Song before sitting down.
Ji Song watched in surprise, not expecting that this child was not as courageous as usual.
If an ordinary child would be so frightened that he would cry, this little kid would calm down quickly.
"Hey! Whose kid do you have? You're so brave that you dare to sleep here!" Ji Song wanted to find out more about this kid.
"none of your business?"
"Besides, whose child are you? It's like you're not a child!" The boy looked arrogant, glanced at Ji Song, and said.
Only then did Ji Song remember that he was also a child. He almost forgot about it. This child was only a year or two younger than him at most. Thinking of what he just said, he felt a little old-fashioned.
"Hey! Don't be angry! My name is Ji Song, what's your name?" Ji Song said.
"Eh? Are you the Ji Song that I always talk about?" A surprised voice reached Ji Song's ears.
"Pfft! Hahahaha!"
"Don't laugh." But he thought of something again and quickly covered his mouth and stared at Ji Song.
Ji Song asked why this young man pursed his lips when he spoke just now!
It turned out that he was in the teething period, and when he spoke in a hurry, his teeth were exposed, and his upper and lower front teeth were missing. Ji Song couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I just couldn't help it! Hahahaha!"
"you"
Ji Song looked at the young man whose eyes were already a little red and immediately shut up.
Teenagers in this period have very strong self-esteem. If they continue to laugh, it will be a bit insulting.
"I'm Ji Song from Haowei County. I've met my brother, so I hope you don't blame me!" Ji Song suddenly apologized to him.
The young man looked at Ji Song, who was still laughing just now, but now apologized to himself, and was a little confused for a moment.
However, when he saw the sincere eyes of the other party, his guarded heart suddenly relaxed.
"My younger brother, Cheng Chusi, I have met my elder brother! My father knows the rules when it comes to Cheng Chusi!" The young man, no, Cheng Chusi also solemnly returned the greeting.
"Cheng Zhijie? Why is it so familiar?" Ji Song felt that the name was very familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
"Are you Cheng Yaojin's son?"
Ji Song then remembered that the word "zhijie" was Cheng Yaojin's name, and now he knew everything.
Looking at the somewhat naive young man in front of him, he turned out to be Cheng Chusi, the eldest son of Cheng Yaojin.
As far as Ji Song knew, Cheng Yaojin was not in Chang'an at this time, but had been transferred to a post elsewhere.
Then Cheng Chusi should be here tonight for his father.
"your father"
Just when Ji Songxiang was about to say something, the entire hall suddenly fell silent.
This had to make Ji Song shut up and stop chatting. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.
