Spring Forest Evening

This period of time was not long, and when those people got on the boat, following the loud voice shouting "Get up!", everyone got up one after another, and started chatting lively again.

Zhou Heng rubbed her sore knees indiscriminately. She is still not used to the kneeling rules of this era, but now she is the servant girl of the Duke Huguo's mansion. Those imperial guards by the pool, everyone can make themselves kneel, so they can only make mental preparations first.

While thinking this way, she stood on tiptoe trying to see if Shen Fu was on the boat, but unfortunately she was a girl, and there were many people around, including many men, not to mention that she couldn’t see the situation on the deck clearly because of the distance and the wrong direction , Even if you stand on tiptoe, you still can't see the situation outside.

Zhou Heng was a little discouraged, and even began to complain in his heart why the emperor had to go to the painting boat to do sacrifices. Of course, after complaining for a while, he thought of the cause and effect of this matter, and told himself helplessly that he should have confidence in Shen Fu. Didn't the queen take the initiative to find him to form an alliance, and this is a royal sacrifice, the one surnamed Chen will not let the one surnamed Shen board the boat.

And looking at it now, the Huguogong and his wife, who knew about it in front of them, were still talking softly with the people next to them calmly, and they seemed to know it well, and they were not in a hurry for Shen Fu.

Consoling himself like this, Zhou Heng tried his best to calm down again, and then even began to pay attention to the people around him.

It doesn't matter if this attention is paid attention to, and I found some interesting situations.

For example, according to Shen Yi's popular science before, the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet is the only occasion where the whole family is allowed to go to the banquet together. At other times, such as during the Chinese New Year, men and women are separated. But in this way, Zhou Heng found that women When they are together, they can't help gossiping and gossip, which is very lively, but the men next to them look helpless.

In addition, another thing is to verify Zhou Heng's random guess before——

The unmarried girl lowered her head shyly, but her drooping hands were covered by the wide sleeves, and she quietly pulled together with the man next to her.

It seems that it is really a blind date meeting, Zhou Heng wanted to laugh secretly, of course, those who dare to hold hands like this should have already engaged in marriage, otherwise they would not be so bold, did not see the patience of the two old couples next to them, It must be the parents of both sides who are acting as human flesh coverings.

Looking around so quietly, coupled with the fact that he had seen a few maidservants at Huafang before, Zhou Heng couldn't help but rejoice that Shen Fu was at the emperor's side just now, and he could take advantage of the inconvenience of his fiancée's filial piety to come out. Drinking and chatting with people, this way, at least those unmarried ladies who have no rank will not have the opportunity to toast, which saves some unwarranted troubles.

What if a certain young lady suddenly fell in love with Shen Fu, Prince Jing?Maybe there will be Leng Touqing who has the courage to ask the Queen Mother to marry him on the spot.

But there shouldn't be any good results. After all, there is a third princess who is watching covetously. Even if she can't get it herself, she can't fulfill other people's wishes, right?

...

After looking around for a while, and thinking about it for a while, the time is almost up. It is still the loud voice shouting that the time has come. Just as the voice fell, suddenly the drums and music blared, and everyone knelt down again, followed by a bunch of fireworks Soaring into the sky and blooming on the water.

At this time, the painting boat began to slide slowly away from the shore and into the water.

"Ah!" Everyone was trying to suppress the exclamation, and Zhou Heng, who was so busy kneeling after hearing it, couldn't help laughing. He didn't expect such a small climax.

Afterwards, the sound of the drums remained the same until the boat came to the center of the Taiye Pond. At that time, a full moon was almost in the sky. The moon was in the sky, and the moonlight shone like water on the wrinkled water below, sparkling , shining silver, the big painting boat standing quietly in the middle, really has a royal air, let alone a group of ancient people around, even in the eyes of Zhou Heng, a girl who came from the 21st century, it is very beautiful.

At this moment, the people by the water got up, probably for a short period of rest, otherwise their knees would not be able to bear it, but everyone didn't care much, and they all stood there admiring.

That's right, this is also a famous scene. Not everyone has the opportunity to enter the palace. Unfortunately, there is no mobile phone to take pictures now. Zhou Heng regretted while listening to the discussions of the people next to him.

Then there was another burst of drum music, this time everyone was waiting in full force, the men arranged their official uniforms, the women also looked down and stroked their sleeves, then Su Rong knelt down again, Zhou Heng naturally followed suit Done.

After waiting for the people kneeling on the ground, the loud voice rang out again. This sound lasted for a long time, as if they were reading a long prayer. Although Zhou Heng was dazed and didn't know what it meant, he heard it. Unstoppable admiration:

This golden throat, I don't know how much throat medicine I usually use to maintain it!

He also admired the people around him, especially the older ones, such as the Huguogong and his wife kneeling in front of him, they looked as motionless as Mount Tai, unlike himself, when he got up, he probably rubbed his knees well.

While thinking this way, the golden voice paused, and then another firework rose into the sky with a "bang" and bloomed in the air, so everyone raised their heads in admiration again.

Well, it’s the same as the previous one. In fact, it’s the original version of the fireworks I saw at my grandmother’s house when I was a child. The red ones have no tricks, the height is low, and the blooming area is not large. The grand fireworks show that I went to watch after work was not as good as the brilliant fireworks on TV such as the National Day.

But for some reason, no matter how beautiful the fireworks are, I still remember that at the finale of the fireworks conference at that time, accompanied by the passionate symphony, the golden fireworks waterfall was radiant in the sky, and also illuminated the entire lake below. I lament the charm of modern technology, but it’s over when it’s over. On the way back, it seems that I just watched the videos taken by each other with my companions. A wealthy family set off fireworks for their third-born son's tenth birthday.

"Boom!" Until now, Zhou Heng still clearly remembered the shaking of the concrete floor of the grain drying field and the dry and warm hands of his grandmother.

"Look, baby!" Grandma hugged herself with one hand, and pointed to the sky with her little hand in the other hand:

"Does it look good?"

"It looks good!" I was only five or six years old at that time, right?I think it's so beautiful, and I'm envious of the ten-year-old birthday boy standing next to the fireworks tube like a little conductor...

Zhou Heng thought in a daze, but was disappointed to hear that golden voice sounded again, well, it seems that it was just a pause at halftime, and he still had to kneel later.

Then he resigned himself to fate and stared down at the small space in front of him, and continued to kneel there to recall the past...
