The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, also known as the Heavenly Official Blessing Day, is one of the important traditional festivals of the Chinese nation.
According to custom, on this day, the soldiers and civilians in Baichengzi eat Yuanxiao, post couplets,
Appreciating lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, and dragon and lion dances were very lively.
The General's Mansion was also decorated with couplets and lanterns, but it was not lively, but rather quiet.
The soldiers, servants, and maids all raised their legs high, set their feet lightly, and tried not to make any noise. When they needed to speak, they did so in low voices and whispers!
The reason for doing this is not to disturb his general's sleep.
That's right, Qin Feng has been sleeping for three whole days. Apart from eating, drinking, and going to the toilet, he spent the rest of the time lying on the bed, covering his head with a quilt and sleeping soundly. He only slept in a dark sky and dark, day and night. Even the saliva is flowing out.
I can’t help it, I’m tired!
Punishing bandits, planning the royal palace, raising money and food, inspecting disaster areas, punishing female businessmen, confronting Jurchens... this series of things consumes too much energy.
Now that he has finally returned to his comfort zone, Qin Feng naturally has to put down all kinds of things, catch up on his sleep and recuperate his energy.
………
At dusk, Qin Feng, who had fought with Duke Zhou for more than 800 rounds, finally stopped snoring and slowly opened his eyes. Then he saw a beautiful woman guarding the bedside. It was his wife-Jin Feng. Jade lady.
Why did I see it as soon as I opened my eyes?
It's simple, because for the past three days, Jin Yuniang has been staying by her side, taking care of her carefully during the day, sleeping on the same bed at night, and basically never leaving during this period.
Because of this, Qin Feng was able to let go of all his guard and sleep as sweetly as honey, soundly and heartily.
A general who is good at fighting and killing people can only sleep peacefully with his wife by his side. What is this called?
This is called love and mutual support between husband and wife!
"Did you sleep well?"
"Sleep well!"
"Then get up. You've been sleeping all day again. You must be hungry. I'll get you something to eat!"
"good!"
Qin Feng stretched, and then jumped up from the bed. Jin Yuniang helped him put on his clothes, put on his boots, and brought him warm water to wash himself.
After everything was cleaned up, Jin Yuniang got up and went to the kitchen. She made four home-cooked dishes: braised eggplant, mapo tofu, stir-fried fungus, and gourd chicken. She also stewed a cup of winter melon ball soup and steamed a small pot of yellow millet. The rice was brought back together with the bowls and chopsticks.
The strange thing is that when the couple ate together, Jin Yuniang brought three pairs of bowls and chopsticks. Who should use the extra pair?
The answer was soon revealed. A slender figure walked in, and then sat down at the table naturally to eat with the couple. It was none other than the fifth young master who liked to wear men's clothes - Xue Jinyu.
While eating and drinking, Xue Jinyu praised: "My wife's cooking skills are really good. She can make a few simple home-cooked dishes that are both delicious and delicious. I am really blessed to be my husband!"
"Jinyu, don't talk nonsense!"
"You're not talking nonsense. One day a husband and a wife will live a hundred days of kindness. We have been husband and wife for more than ten days. Isn't it right to call you a lady? Hehe!"
"You are so naughty!"
…
Xue Jinyu always called Jin Yuniang sister, why did she change her name to lady?
It’s a long story.
In order to avoid the Jurchen army's search, Qin Feng led his team to hide in an ancient tomb. At the same time, he sent the golden eagle Lightning to send a letter back to Baichengzi, asking Baichengzi to put on a show: find someone to pretend to be him, and lead the A team returned to the city with great fanfare, and at the same time spread the news to confuse the Jurchens' attention.
After Baichengzi received the letter, he immediately became worried. It was easy to put together a team, but it was too difficult to find someone who could impersonate Qin Feng.
First of all, the appearance, height, body shape, and age must be similar.
Secondly, you must be absolutely loyal, and you must not change your mind midway or be lax in your words, as this will cause serious problems!
In spirit
These two principles were repeatedly selected among the soldiers and civilians of Baichengzi, and more than thirty candidates were selected.
But when these thirty people were put on the same clothes and armor as Qin Feng, and tested one after another, some sounded different, some had different temperaments, and some behaved differently... As a result, none of them passed the test. .
This is how to do?
If you don't have qualified candidates, you can't rush them to the shelves. That will definitely reveal your flaws. Not only will you not be able to deceive those Jurchen spies, it will also be counterproductive and make Qin Feng and others even more dangerous!
When he was at a loss, Xue Jinyu volunteered to take on this difficult task!
A man pretending to be a man doesn't even look like him. How can a woman pretend to be a man? No one has any hope!
But when Xue Jinyu changed into waiters and put on makeup and came out, everyone was immediately shocked because she looked so much like Qin Feng.
The appearance and voice are 80% similar, the behavior and movements are very similar, and the temperament is 12% similar. As long as you don't look closely, you can't see the flaws at all.
Of course, there was a small problem. Compared with Qin Feng, Xue Jinyu was a little shorter and not strong enough. Fortunately, the problem was solved by wearing high-soled boots and two more layers of cotton-padded clothes!
In this way, Xue Jinyu sneaked out of the city, then pretended to be Qin Feng, and led a group of troops into the city with great fanfare, making a triumphant appearance.
Jin Yuniang went out to greet Xue Jinyu, and in front of many onlookers, she and Xue Jinyu were treated as husband and wife. She also deliberately made a few ambiguous moves, and then returned to the general's mansion together, and continued to pretend to be husband and wife in the following days.
The result was that he successfully deceived many people and successfully completed the task assigned by Qin Feng!
After this incident, Xue Jinyu changed her tone and no longer called her Jin Yuniang's sister. Instead, she called her a lady, making jokes and doing ambiguous tricks from time to time!
When Qin Feng learned about the situation, instead of being angry, he told Xue Jinyu to work harder and imitate himself, so that when encountering special situations in the future, he could pretend to be himself again and solve big problems!
……………
After the meal, the three of them drank tea and chatted together, laughing and having a great time!
It wasn't until nightfall that the three of them ended their conversation, then each changed into their formal attire and headed to the lobby together.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and a banquet is going to be held in the general's palace. The venue is in the lobby. The food and wine have been laid out, and all the guests have arrived.
Han Shanjun, Dong Tianbao, Lei Dapeng, the Xiong brothers, the Ma brothers, Mo Zi, Lu Xuanqiu, Jiao Jinshi, Meng Kaishu, Xu Xiake... Even the Taoist priest Qing Xuzi whose fortune telling was inaccurate was among them!
Seeing the three people coming in, everyone immediately stood up and saluted: "I've seen the General, I've seen the General, I've seen the Fifth Young Master!"
"Hello everyone, you're welcome. Please take a seat. Today is the Lantern Festival, so just be casual."
After some polite greetings, everyone took their seats respectively.
As husband and wife, Qin Feng and Jin Yuniang naturally sat side by side at the main seat in the lobby.
Xue Jinyu wanted to sit down at the guest seat like everyone else, but Jin Yuniang pulled her and sat next to her.
Faced with this situation, everyone present was not surprised, because Qin Feng and Xue Jinyu had a close relationship. The latter was sooner or later the second wife of the general's mansion, so sitting together would not be a problem.
But, the future second lady, who is obviously a great beauty, wears men's clothes all day long, and takes pleasure in teasing beautiful women. If they get married in the future, I wonder how my general will tolerate it?
Is it a different feeling, or... I don’t dare to think about it, I don’t dare to think about it, hehe!
Long story short.
The banquet started soon. In addition to various food and wine, some artists were also invited to perform various performances in the lobby:
Lion dance, iron chain breaking, diabolo shaking, bone shrinking exercise, hard qigong, water star, swallowing sword...the programs arranged were all very exciting and constantly won rounds of applause.
When the banquet reached its climax, Xue Jinyu suddenly stood up and left her seat and came to the side of Taoist Qing Xuzi.
It turned out that Xue Jinyu knew from other people’s mouths
After hearing about the deeds of Taoist Master Qing Xuzi, I want to ask him to tell my fortune!
