Luoyang, Shangyuan night, the first day of the lanterns.

Shangyuan Festival is one of the grandest festivals in Tiantang, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the whole Tiantang is shrouded in a festive atmosphere, and every household hangs lanterns. The people guessed lantern riddles, lion dances, dragon lanterns, stilts, literati and ink writers chanted poems, tasted the wind and the moon, and even the royal family held a grand celebration to enjoy with the people and share this prosperous world.

Luoyang Bai's is naturally no exception.

Bai's mansion is located on the most famous Canglong Street in Luoyang. Canglong Street is basically the residence of the lords of Lingyan Pavilion, for these ministers of the dragon, Taizong set a precedent, changed the original "Yong'an" to "Canglong", and gave the royal special dragon character to the lords to show friendship.

When Taizong set up the Lingyan Pavilion, many of the lords had already died, and the ranking was given to the ones who were still alive, and the rest were ranked according to the size of the meritorious service, and the ranking of the mansions on this Canglong Street was naturally according to the ranking of the Lingyan Pavilion. The old man of the Bai family happened to die a year before the establishment of the cabinet, and he was wronged a little later, to the fourteenth place, but it was also in the middle section, and he was extremely noble.

Bai Wuyang, the eldest son of the Bai family, was ten years old at the time, mature and stable but far beyond ordinary people, Wen Taowu was quite laborious, and his strength was also a little successful, coupled with being polite and polite, and handling things awe-inspiringly, among the noble children of this Canglong Street, he was faintly famous, and in the eyes of his parents, he was also the first person in the junior generation.

Today's Shangyuan Festival, Bai Wuyang's father brought his family into the palace to attend a dinner, Bai Wuyang, as the eldest son, should have gone with his father, but he pushed the matter away, saying that he had eaten the Lantern Festival at home, and wanted to go out to visit the light market. He was young, since he didn't want to go, the white father also relied on him, and the white father knew his son's temperament in the day, and he was not worried that he would make any trouble, and after telling the house, Shen Shichu entered the palace.

Soon after Father Bai left, Bai Wuyang ended his practice for the day.

Every day before dawn, he got up to boil his body, and then he memorized and wrote, and after breakfast, he would study history books and classics in the study all morning, and he would often be taught by teachers, and he would study very hard.

After lunch, Bai Wuyang will take a lunch break for a period of time as usual, which is a habit he has maintained in his first life, although there is an allusion to Confucius reprimanding Zai to sleep in the day, but the nap can maintain the state of the afternoon well, he did not change it.

After the lunch break, in the afternoon, he followed the Bai family's generals to learn battlefield martial arts, and occasionally learned different powers, and after Shen Shi, Bai Wuyang's schoolwork for the day was over, and then no one came to control him, as long as he met with his parents again at dinner, the day basically passed.

The ancients slept earlier at night, converted to modern time, about eight o'clock in the evening, many people have already gone to bed, but tonight is the night of Shangyuan, which can be called a carnival, and there should be many people who stay awake all night. Bai Wuyang didn't have much need for sleep, his phoenix totem provided him with vigorous energy, and only about three hours of sleep a day was enough to cope.

The white father and white mother are not there, Bai Wuyang is the one with the highest status in this huge white mansion, all the way, the servants and guests all bow down, and he deals with them one by one. When he returned to his house, he took a key, went out and looked around, and when he saw that there was no one around, he jumped up and jumped directly onto the roof.

Bai Wuyang was familiar with the structure of the White Mansion, and jumped left and right without hesitation. He studied well and was very fast, and the sky was already dark at this time, even the masters who guarded the Bai Mansion did not realize that their eldest son had actually touched all the way to the back kitchen of the Bai Mansion.

"Ahem! Lao Zhang! … Lao Zhang! ”

Bai Wuyang slipped off the wall, quietly walked to the innermost room, and then called softly.

A fat cook in his forties poked his head out of the window nervously, looked left and right, and saw Bai Wuyang's sleeves, so he withdrew his head and carefully opened the door for Bai Wuyang.

"The eldest son! You're here! As soon as the door closed, Lao Zhang was relieved.

"It's coming, it's coming." Bai Wuyang smiled slightly, "How are things going?" ”

Lao Zhang nodded and said: "Everything has been arranged, no one will approach this room within half an hour, and I have prepared the things, please check the eldest prince." ”

"I'm relieved of you." Bai Wuyang patted Lao Zhang's shoulder, "The benefits are yours, just remember not to go out and talk too much." ”

Lao Zhang said "hey" twice, it will only take a year or two to do things for this son, and he is about to be promoted to head chef, how can he not listen to orders?

"Alright, you can leave."

After letting Lao Zhang leave, Bai Wuyang curled the corners of his mouth slightly, walked to the corner of the wall, bent down and dragged an inconspicuous box to the side, and opened it with a key.

"Tut-tut... An hour is more than enough. ”

Bai Wuyang began to get busy, and in less than half an hour, he had an extra bowl of steaming soup in his hand, cleaned up the kitchen, and he used his strength to hold the hot soup firmly in his hand, and then rushed out of the kitchen, climbed over the wall again, and walked all the way to the remote place of Baifu.

There are several scattered small courtyards here, overgrown with wild grass, which have always been inhabited by servants, Bai Wuyang found the innermost one and walked in.

There is a pool of water in the pond, the edge of the pond is at the mercy of carefully built flowers and plants, a room is located not far from the pool, it looks quite elegant, it is by no means a servant can do, but if it is said that it is a relative of the White Mansion, it is really shabby here, and it is completely inconsistent with the nobility of Ling Yan's lords.

Bai Wuyang saw a white elf by the pool.

He smiled and greeted, "Sister, sister!" ”

The figure by the lake turned around, but it was a girl about eleven or twelve years old, with a melancholy and light temperament, but it was heartbreaking.

When the girl named Bai Ying saw Bai Wuyang, a soft smile like a magnolia bloomed on her expressionless face.

"Little brother, Sister is here. Well? What do you have in your hand? ”

Bai Ying's eyes were sharp, and he noticed the bowl that Bai Wuyang was holding in his hand.

She narrowed her eyes: "Tell me to guess... Isn't it a floating yuanzi? ”

"I was guessed by my sister... It's boring. ”

"Today is Shangyuan, at noon I saw that the big cow and the Erxi family next door were doing it, and I thought about doing some too, but unfortunately I used a lot of supplies this month, so I dispelled this idea."

Although Bai Ying said some regrets, looking at Bai Wuyang's face was still full of joy.

After the first month, Bai Wuyang was taken by Bai's father to visit everywhere, and she didn't have a chance to see Bai Ying, today is the first time that their sister and brother have met since the New Year, and she is naturally happy.

However, after a while, her complexion changed slightly.

"Why is the little brother here today, on the night of Shangyuan, my father should take you to the palace." Bai Ying frowned, pondered for a while, and said, "Stupid Wuyang, did you push the matter of entering the palace?" ”

"Sister is smart, hehe." Bai Wuyang said with a smile, "There are a lot of things to do, so it's better to be comfortable with Sister A." I didn't accompany my sister because of this last night, and I was already sorry, and I said that I wouldn't go this time. ”

"Stupid Wuyang, you, you... Everything is good, but the mind is lazy and does not seek to improve. You are young, and you only have this opportunity to see Your Majesty once a year, and I heard that the children of other families are looking forward to going with their parents, so you are good, so you casually pushed it. Seeing Your Majesty, if you are a little serious, you will naturally be pleasant, if he likes you, Chrysostom will open it, and your future will naturally be a little less difficult in the future. Although the Bai family is the queen of the ministers, they always have to fight for their own future. Remember, if you have a chance to make progress, if you don't go against the right path, you have to find a way to fight for it, you know? ”

Bai Ying frowned, and taught Bai Wuyang a lesson first, Bai Wuyang was not annoyed at all, and he didn't say a word, he listened happily, and his pleasant smile was even worse than before.

Bai Ying glanced at him helplessly, if there was no accident, his little brother would say this next.

"Okay, I know, Sister Duyi."

Bai Wuyang squinted and smiled, handing the bowl in his hand to Bai Ying.

"The Lantern Festival made by the younger brother himself, if you don't eat it, it will be cold."

Bai Ying stretched out her hand to take it and warmed her hand.

She smiled unconsciously.

Although he said a sermon to persuade him, in this Shangyuan night, with him by his side, when he heard his sentence "It's better to be comfortable with my sister", my heart felt as if I had eaten floating yuanzi.

Sweet and warm.
