Chapter Thirty-Nine: Join in the Fun

Jiang An followed the group. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Fan Sicheng looked at his slender and powerful palms, thinking about how such ruthless words could come from the mouth of such a weak woman.

Is she still the shy and timid Jiang Li sister she saw when she was a child, and she relied on her very much?

Maybe not anymore. He knew it when he saw her with her hands on her hips and being cruel to herself.

The expression on Fan Sicheng's face was elusive.

Jiang Li sat with Su Ruyu for half an afternoon, and was about to say goodbye and go back.

Su Ruyu kept it again and again, and said, "It's not easy for you to come out, and the house also knows that your second brother came out with you, so no one is looking for you." Since you're here, let your second brother accompany us to the door to watch the lanterns at night. ”

The lanterns of this dynasty are very famous, and Jiang Li has long wanted to come out to shop. But he also knew that he couldn't count on Jiang An, so it was better to go back early and go around the street by the way. So he quit Su Ruyu, took a carriage to the main street, and asked the coachman to choose a lively place to walk around.

The middle-aged coachman with a big nose and small eyes is a native of Beijing, and he follows the master of the Jiang family all over the city every day, and he understands the streets and alleys of Beijing and the customs and folklore of the city. In the middle of the city, Taibaiju downstairs is to use hundreds of flower bowl lamps to set up Aoshan, at night it is crowded with people, the water is impassable, it is very lively, the nine girls want to see, or wait for the evening to come out. ”

Jiang Li heard him lively, and he couldn't wait to go now. Thinking that there are still a few days before the Lantern Festival, it would be good to bring Xiaoxiang out for a walk another day.

At the moment, he followed the coachman and went back to Jiang's house the same way.

Turning the road ahead, the carriage could not move. I heard a tsunami of shouts from the mountains in the street in front of me: "It's coming, it's coming!" The archers are coming! ”

The coachman had to park the carriage on the side of the road, and Jin Ju opened the curtain with his hand and accompanied Jiang Li to stand in the carriage and watch.

The crowd of people stood separately on both sides of the street like a tide, regardless of men, women, old and young, some holding flowers in their hands, some waving red silk cloths, and those who did not take anything in the back, stretched their necks to look at the east end of the street, and roared with joy: "It's coming, it's coming!" Look, that's our Great Song archer! Great Song is mighty!! ”

There are also people who roar at Dayan, some people who roar at Nan Chen, and some people who roar at Dali and Yu Mingguo, all of whom were suppressed and drowned out by the roar of the overwhelming people of the Great Song Dynasty.

Aren't Nan Chen and Dayan at war, why are they all in the capital? Jiang Li muttered like this.

A young descendant next to the car looked back, "Every New Year's Day, Dayan, Nanchen, and even more distant vassal countries send He Zhengdan envoys to the court to congratulate." This year is even different, I heard that Nan Chen is a prince! The day before yesterday, an archery competition was held in the Royal Yujin Garden, and I heard that our Da Song and Nan Chen tied for the first place, and Da Yan fell to the fourth place. Today is the day when the accompanying military ministers, who have been rewarded by the emperor, parade through the streets across horses and be congratulated by all the people. ”

Oh, no wonder this battle. As soon as Jiang Li came to his senses, he saw a group of men in fresh clothes beating horses from the street.

They are dressed in various colors of clothes and dressed differently, the similarity is that they all have hairpins of various colors, red silk is hung on their chests, and they all have concave bellies and high breasts. The crowds on both sides were like boiling water, one by one rushing forward to shout slogans and offer eulogies.

There was also a group of warblers and swallows squeezed out of the crowd, surrounding a white horse, the people on the horse smiled with jade faces, generously and decently accepted the cheers and blessings of the people, and the beautiful women stretched out their little hands to rub oil from time to time.

This exquisite face will not be forgotten after seeing it, although he changed his outfit, Jiang Li still recognized it at a glance, and immediately this was Qin Yuanhua, who he had seen in Yanziji before the Chinese New Year and was known as the first son.

Today's Qin Yuanhua had a proud spring breeze on his face, without the coldness when Jiang Li first saw him, dressed in a white robe, white boots, jade face and red lips, and a lofty spirit, riding a horse across the street, causing a large number of cheers and exclamations behind him.

Jiang Li's eyes were attracted by a round big fat man, the big fat man was not tall, his right shoulder was exposed, he was in his early sixties, and the fat of his body lowered his height, but he looked at the general length, width and height of the upper and lower sides, and the flesh folds on his face squeezed his eyes so that he could not see the eyeballs. Rao is that he rode a red horse tall, and he was also pressed to the waist slightly. Looking at the costume, it doesn't look like a Song Dynasty person.

Sure enough, someone next to him shouted: "This is the Nanchen people who are tied for the first place with Qin Gongzi this time, amazing!" ”

There was a few applause in the crowd, but the man didn't care, and walked over with his head held high.

Jiang Li saw a gorgeous carriage walking by at the end of the line, the black carved carriage was luxurious and mysterious, the front of the car was covered with a thick bead curtain, and a tall man in a black robe drove by, with a solemn face. There seemed to be a pair of eagle-sharp eyes in the carriage, scanning the crowd through the beaded curtains.

The carriages and horses passed, and the sea of people followed to the west end of the long street. The middle-aged coachman of the Jiang family came over to ask Jiang Li to sit down and get back on the road.

The coachman sighed: "See, Qin Xiang gave birth to a good son, and this year he has won glory for the country, and he deserves to be the first son in the world." ”

Jin Ju's little face was also a little excited, infected with the enthusiasm of the crowd just now, and she was still excited at the moment, "Yes, yes!" This kind of opportunity can win glory for the country, so as not to lose the true character of a man! The name of the first son of Qin Gongzi is really not boasted. ”

Jiang Li sighed, such a lively scene did not bring Xiaoxiang out, or Xiaoxiang was more excited than Jin Ju.

When she got home, Xiaoxiang had already shouted, complaining that the ladies of all the houses could go out of the house to play under this festival, and it was only this time of the year that the old lady in the family did not detain the young ladies and maids to go out to see the lights, and said that Jiang Ya and Jiang Yun had all gone out, only the Hanxiang Garden was still the same.

Jiang Li knew that she would shout, and promised to take her out to see the lanterns in the past two days, and Xiaoxiang was satisfied.

Since then, Jiang Li has also taken Xiaoxiang out to see the lights a few times.

This night, I went out to see the lights, because the coachman mentioned that day, saying that Taibai Ju downstairs with a lantern to tie up a mountain, the two went straight to the east gate on Taibai Ju.

Taibai lives in the center of the city, not only the food is good, the location is good, and the price is also expensive. There is nothing in the capital that no one does not know.

The two walked to the downstairs of Taibai Ju, and sure enough, a small Ao Mountain was tied up in the open area downstairs, with colorful hanging lights on it, hundreds of bowls of different colors of lanterns were hung, the lights were firelight, and the dance was accompanied by the music of Feng Xiao, reflecting the whole night of the street like a glass world of fire trees and silver flowers.

On this night, the aristocratic ladies did not have to worry about the usual etiquette, and they dressed up one by one and crowded into the flow of people.

Jiang Li and Xiaoxiang are also dressed up in their daughter's house, looking at the lights all the way, and from time to time picking up the strange toys in the hands of the hawkers to watch.

Where had Jiang Li seen such a beautiful lantern in his previous life, he seemed more excited than Xiao Xiang, he couldn't help it for a while, and he didn't care about being a lady, jumping around, looking at this one for a while, pointing to that one after another, and unconsciously walked out of Xiao Xiang's sight.

Jiang Li strode to a lantern shed, looked at a lot of lanterns painted with stories on the shed, and was looking at a ribbon-cutting flying white peony lantern, when someone behind him shouted: "Ninth sister, why did I meet you here!" ”

When he turned around, it was Jiang An holding hands with Su Ruyu, standing not far behind him with a smile. Looking at Jiang An under the lights, he was tall and handsome, with square eyebrows, and Su Ruyu, who was dressed in a green shirt, was just a pair of beautiful people.

Jiang Li turned around and didn't see Xiaoxiang, and said angrily: "I lost a little girl with me, how can this be good?" ”

Jiang An raised his head and glanced at Taibaiju, and said with a smile in his eyes: "It's really a coincidence, and you can still meet here." Why don't you just go upstairs and sit down? It is convenient to look at the lights from high places and find people. ”

Jiang Li waited for a long time and didn't see Xiaoxiang's figure, so he had no other way to think about it, so he followed Jiang An inside.

It's just that Su Ruyu was a little hesitant, thinking that when she showed up in the Qinglou in the past, this place was also often visited, and she was a little hesitant at this time for fear of meeting acquaintances.

Jiang An was a little greedy for profit at this time, and he forgot about Su Ruyu's difficulties for a while, so he just strode into Taibai Ju.
