Chapter 60: The beginning of the year
Emperor Ming's pro-government ceremony was finally held in a state of panic. After the Shangyuan Dynasty, the Kai Dynasty can officially take charge of the government. Surprisingly, neither the East nor the West has done anything.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival will soon come. Lanterns were hung up in every house. In the streets and alleys of Anyang, there is no shortage of merchants who use all kinds of strange shapes and dazzling lanterns to attract customers.
After dinner, Aunt Gui brought a few bowls of Lantern Festival.
"Come, after eating the Lantern Festival, you can go to the street to see the lanterns." Ying Ruolan raised a bowl of Lantern Festival in front of the beginning of the month, the beginning of the month took the small bowl and nodded with a smile, just after eating a few bites, Xiao Xiao came and said, Yunxiang and Yunli had already arrived outside the door.
On the first day of the first month, he hurriedly put down the small bowl, and was about to get up, but was pressed back by Ying Ruolan, "The Lantern Festival has to be eaten before you can leave, hurry up and eat." ”
So she hurriedly put the rest into her mouth. was so frightened that Ying Ruolan told her to eat slowly, for fear of choking. The benefits were easy to eat before hurrying out the door, and the two of them had been waiting for some time at this time.
There is a rule in Shangyuan in Anyang that if a rich family goes to the street to watch the lights, they are not allowed to bring maids. It is said that the earliest day in the palace would allow the palace people to return home to reunite with their relatives or go to amusement by themselves, and after a long time, it became a day of rest for the servants and maids of the rich and noble. Therefore, today's lantern appreciation, at the beginning of the month, only with Yunli, Yunxiang made an appointment to go out.
In addition, many men and women will also make an appointment to enjoy the lanterns and night tours together on this day to seek a good marriage. Such love legends are naturally not less in a century-old imperial capital like Anyang, and the Jiuli Temple, Fengle Street, and Quhe are all good places to enjoy the lanterns. The three of them planned early, first went to Fengle Street to see the lanterns and glass lanterns, then went to Jiuli Temple to burn incense and watch the Buddha lanterns, and finally went to Quhe to sit on the painting boat and enjoy the river lanterns.
As soon as I arrived at Fung Lok Street, I saw a lot of traffic and crowds. "There are so many people, what do you think?" Looking at the crowd of people in front of him, Yunli couldn't help but sigh.
Yun Xiang still had a way, and took the two of them to the upper floor of a teahouse on the side of the street. "It's just night, there are naturally more people who come to Fengle Street to see the lights, I found it a few days ago, this teahouse looks out by the window, the lights of Fengle Street can take half of it, we sit here first, wait for a while the crowd disperses to other places, and then go out to take a closer look."
Sure enough, the two of them looked out, and the lights of Fengle Street came into view. Immediately overjoyed: "You still have a way, this place is really a good place to see the scenery." ”
Colorful lanterns are hung on both sides of the street, and bonfires are placed in front of each house, and when people walk through the street with long lanterns, each house will light firecrackers, and the sound of crackling is endless. The whole street is so lively.
It was just because I was excited to see it, and at the beginning of the month, I suddenly felt that the two figures on the right side of the street were very familiar, and I couldn't help but look dark. Seeing her like this, Yunli asked, "What's wrong?" As he spoke, he looked at the beginning of the month, and couldn't help but gasp, and his face was not very good.
Standing on the right side of the street is a pair of men and women, with intimate behaviors, and if you look closely, you can see that it is Xu Shiheng and Yun Miao. The two of them didn't say much about the lanterns, but they also knew what the situation was. Yunli knew about the beginning of the month, and he was silent at the moment. Yun Xiang saw that the two of them had strange faces, and he was curious and followed the probe, and couldn't help but say gloomily: "I was really blind at the time, why didn't I see these two people." ”
Yueyue's eyes darkened, and he said coolly: "You guys go shopping, I'll go back to the house first." ”
When Su Yun and the others saw it, they knew that she was still depressed and couldn't let go, so they hurriedly said: "It's okay, or we can go elsewhere to see, and Anyang is more than this place to see the lights." ”
The moon shook his head, "I'm fine, I can't slow down for a while, it's okay for a while." Look, or I'll go down and walk around first, and I'll be back later." Didn't Yunxiang want to eat the dim sum of Double Happiness Shop? I just bought it back for you. ”
Knowing that she wanted to be alone first, Yunli said, "That's okay, be careful on the road." Seeing that Yunli said this, Yun Xiang naturally nodded.
At the beginning of the month, I went out of the teahouse, and went to the direction of the Quhe River, and the double happiness shop was by the Quhe River. When I arrived at Quhe, I saw that there were still the same number of people, and I didn't like crowding, so I leaned closer to the river at the beginning of the month. At this moment, another lantern dragon came towards it, and there was another burst of firecrackers. Everyone hurriedly leaned to the side, following the crowd at the beginning of the month.
Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out in the darkness and pushed violently. At the beginning of the month, he leaned over and almost fell into the river. Fortunately, I grabbed the riverside guardrail with my hand. She was half-leaning on the edge of the railing, and just as she was in a state of panic, another hand pushed behind her.
With a thud, he fell into the water without warning.
In winter, the river is not frozen, but it is also bitterly cold. At the beginning of the month, he threw himself in the river a few times, and soon lost his body. The crackling sound on the riverbank continued, and everyone was attracted by the long lantern dragon, and no one noticed that anyone had fallen into the water.
The cold river water poured into the nasal cavity until it no longer felt cold, and the body was stiff and unable to move, and at the last moment when consciousness was gradually lost, the beginning of the month suddenly missed my father and mother very much
At some point, I felt cold again at the beginning of the month, but soon the cold around my body dissipated and was replaced by the warmth around my body. In a trance, his consciousness returned a little, and he vaguely saw a woman's figure dangling in front of him, and a general whispered in his ear.
Checkmate? Which general? At the beginning of the month, I woke up with a moment of clarity in my head.
Just about to leave, she suddenly felt something strange in her body, at this moment she was lying on a bed, covered with about three layers of brocade quilt, but there was not an inch under the brocade quilt!
At the first day of the month, he froze on the bed, his brow furrowed slightly.
"Awake?!" A woman's surprise came from the bedside.
At the beginning of the month, it was a woman dressed in ordinary cloth clothes, about a little older than her. The long hair is neatly tied, and there is no jewelry on the body, and the gestures are neat.
Seeing that she woke up at the beginning of the month, she picked up a bowl of hot ginger tea and sat in front of her and said, "You drink some ginger soup first, your body can be warmer?" ”
The moon looked at her, hesitated a little and didn't get up immediately. The woman was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled: "I forgot about it, don't worry, I'm alone in this room." ”
After hearing this, the beginning of the month smiled gratefully, carefully folded the quilt, and drank a few sips of ginger soup in the small bowl held by the woman. Only then did it gradually ease up.
While drinking ginger soup, he looked around without a trace. Judging from the furnishings in the house, it seems to be a guest bedroom of a rich family, but looking at the clothes of the woman in front of her, it doesn't look like a maid. Just when he was confused, there was a knock on the door outside the house: "Sister, Shanjun asked if Miss Hang was awake?" ”
"Wake up, wake up." The woman in front of her replied, "You tell him to wait, and we'll go over in a moment." ”
Shanjun? Who is it?
