0210 Laugh into the orchid restaurant
The time soon came to the beginning of October, and the relevant matters of the Dragon Gate Ceremony were also in full swing.
Li Tong, as one of the initiators of this ceremony, of course, cannot stay out of the matter.
Not only did he have to prepare for the relevant ceremonies, but the two elder brothers did not stay out of the matter, and the eldest brother Li Guangshun moved into the Zuowei Prince's Mansion and became a general of the forbidden army who was responsible for guiding the honor guard. The second brother Li Shouli was transferred from the crown prince to the first official position that Li Tong was awarded before, that is, Shang Yuan Fengyu, responsible for the chariot and cultural relics used in the ceremony. Even the concubine Fang had to attend the ceremony as a wife.
Recalling last year's Luodian, the family could only squat in the forbidden middle to count ants, but this year's situation has been very different, and the whole family has begun to sell their ancestral business.
Compared with the busy tasks of the brothers and the lack of time to take a break, the part that Li Tong is responsible for is relatively leisurely. He only needs to be responsible for classifying and sending all kinds of Rui things collected by the Chunguan Rite Department in the previous period of time, and then set up an exhibition in the ceremonial hall.
This work has been going on for a long time, and it has been preliminarily completed before the feast day, so it is only necessary to check the list again the day before the feast day.
Although he was not busy on official business, Li Tong was not idle, after all, his mansion was in the southeast corner of the city, so he had to send his family to Longmen Beiye, which was close to the ceremonial field, one step in advance, and attended the ceremony nearby.
"Third brother, third brother, where are you?"
When the little girl Li Youniang learned that she was going to live in the city for a few days, she was so excited that she cheered, for fear that she would be left behind, so she had to rush to the palace every once in a while to see if the third brother had set off.
Li Tong was still explaining the task to the mansions, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the little girl in the big red shirt jumping in again, he was really annoyed, and waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and go back to the mansion to dress up your pony and ask your cousin to help you." ”
The kings they see every day are all elegant and calm, and it is rare to see such an irritable appearance, and they all smile and look at the interaction between brothers and sisters.
Li Tong glared at Li Yi, who was also smiling, angrily: "Changmei quickly sent this lady back to the concubine, and you also stayed in the mansion to check the car device." ”
When Li Yi forcibly pulled the lady away, Li Tong continued the topic just now, and said to Shi Sizhen: "Please ask for two voices in the inner teaching workshop first, and you will enter Longmen tonight." When Wei Lang's tent is finished, first arrange the old use of the house to enter. ”
In addition to the cultural relics of the imperial court, the Longmen ceremony also has to set up celebration tents along the way in each family above the third grade, and in addition to singing and welcoming the car, it is also responsible for a part of the food and drink of the forbidden army. Li Tong's family is being divided into an area near the main ceremony, and they must be carefully and decently arranged.
When Shi Sizhen received the order and left, Liu Youqiu, who had not long returned to the capital, stepped forward to report who would accompany the palace to attend the ceremony. Some lowly officials are not qualified enough to participate in the ceremony, and often have to rely on the powerful families in order to go to the scene to observe the ceremony.
The three kings were allocated thirty-five places, and they needed to be careful how to choose, and if they really wanted to introduce any crazy and other disorderly behaviors, they would not be able to eat and walk around.
A busy arrangement, by the time the line is out, the time is almost evening. There were hundreds of people in front and back, seven or eight carts, and they came out of the letter workshop.
Straight along the side street, the front of the Wang Fu who is responsible for exploring the road has been galloping back, the road is Dingdingmen Tianjie has been congested, it is not easy to go out of the city, so the group simply from the Changxia Gate out of the city, and then across the south.
At this time, in the south of the Shendu City, the figure of the forbidden army patrolling can be seen everywhere, running back and forth to drive away the idle people. The dusty road was full of traffic and traffic, and it was very busy.
Li Tong took the lead, and the front and rear officials bowed, and on the way, guests who attended the ceremony joined in one after another. When you reach the southern suburbs of Dingding Gate, you can understand why the wide sky street is congested.
It turns out that in the suburbs in the south of the city, a big terrace has already been erected, and there are bursts of warblers singing on the stage, and the maids are graceful and dancing, and the bright and colorful pictures can be seen from a long distance.
The location of this terrace is off from the main road, but it can't stand the crowd of people joining in the fun, and the huge terrace is surrounded by a sea of people, and there is no idle soil between the grass and the ravines. The crowd of onlookers had already extended to the main road, and some of the drivers from the city saw that it was so lively, so they simply stopped on the street and looked around.
"Who is so arrogant that they dare to make such an idle show to disturb the masses?"
Liu Youqiu put his hand on his eyebrows, stepped on the saddle to look, and then frowned and said: "I'm afraid that there will be tens of thousands of people ahead, and the king can't get close!" ”
Li Tong was also taken aback by this big scene, and there was no lack of curiosity in his heart who dared to be so bold, but thinking that there were female dependents in the car behind him, he didn't dare to get too close, waved his hand to signal to continue to detour, and rode back to the side of the car, raised his hand to press back Li Youniang, who leaned out of the carriage with half of her body, and glanced at Tang Lingshu, who also looked excited in the car: "You are all safe, you are not allowed to get off the car!" ”
Li Youniang waved her small fist to smash the carriage to vent her dissatisfaction, and when she saw that the third brother's face sank, she smiled: "Who am I, brother?" If you don't believe me, don't you believe your own lady? ”
When Tang Lingshu heard this, he raised his hand and half-hid his pretty face and said in a sullen voice: "If the lady doesn't say this, the king may still be able to believe you." ”
You're self-aware!
Li Tong glanced at this lady, laughed first, and said: "It's not that you are not allowed to play, there are already a hundred operas in other industries, and the wild road is restless and disturbing." ”
He went to the back car to greet his mother-in-law Fang Shi a few words, and then there was a voice calling for him from the front team, and when he looked up, it was his aunt, Princess Taiping, who had ordered her to tell her that she was already waiting on the slope ahead.
The team climbed all the way uphill, and then saw a larger team from Princess Taiping's family.
Princess Taiping was dressed in a stand-up collar and a bearded robe, riding a flower-maned horse, and when she saw Li Tong approaching, she hit her horse and rushed down, and the distance was a few feet before she stopped her horse, so frightened that Li Tong almost turned her horse to dodge.
Seeing Li Tong's false alarm, Princess Taiping laughed even more proudly, her fingers stood up on the top of her head, and she took off the brim of her hat, revealing a white and smooth forehead, and said with a smile: "San Lang's riding skills are not improving, if you have your Jiao Niang's three-point skills, how can you look like this?" ”
You and I are as idle as you!
Li Tong didn't practice equestrianism, but he was so busy that he couldn't take a break from his body during the past period of time, and was jokingly laughed by Princess Taiping, and his face was also scornful, and before he could speak, Princess Taiping had already raised her hand and pointed down the slope, and said with a smile: "Such a huge battle, San Lang looks at it, can you feel amazing?" Your aunt is not an ordinary idle woman in the atrium, take advantage of this to make trouble, after today, our theater will be famous in the capital! ”
Hearing this, Li Tong understood why this meeting came from. It's normal to think about it, on such an important occasion as the Dragon Gate Ceremony, even the group of martial artists who are the most powerful in the limelight don't dare to mess around with this kind of thing, and only his aunt dares to do this in the world several times.
But does your mother know that you're hitchhiking?
Li Tong looked back at the noisy scene at the bottom of the slope, and couldn't help but give his aunt a thumbs up: "It's amazing!" My aunt's handwriting is really a ghost and a god, and the fairy Buddha is dumbfounded! ”
"Can't you tell me you're laughing at me?"
Hearing Li Tong say this, Princess Taiping didn't look at him angrily, the smile on her face quickly faded, and turned into a look of distress: "How could I have predicted that there would be such a big battle!" I'm so anxious that I'm at a loss right now, I'm waiting for you to finish it here! You're not an outsider, so think about what to do. The streets of heaven are congested, and you can't enter and exit the Dingding Gate, if you really want to mess up the etiquette, you have to be prepared to raise your cousin for a long time! ”
Seeing that Princess Taiping's face changed and collapsed, with a tone that wanted to rely on him, Li Tong couldn't cry or laugh for a while, could it be that the mentally handicapped aura he brought only worked on friendly troops, why did they all become pig teammates!
"It's like this, it's not that I don't know that I was reckless and reckless this time, and I still want to look at me like this!"
Princess Taiping saw that Li Tong didn't speak but just looked at her, her face was even more blushing, but her tone quickly softened again: "Except for San Lang, who can you look up to?" It's not that I don't want to consult with you when the theater is completed, but you ask yourself if you have paid attention to me recently? is always an elder, who is so good to run endlessly for plans. ”
It turns out that you are still a face-saving person.
Li Tong raised his hand to signal Princess Taiping not to speak first, looked at the restless scene down the slope and muttered for a moment, raised his hand to summon Li Yi, and asked, "The day before yesterday, I taught the song "Youth Xing", are you familiar with acting?" ”
After Li Yi heard this, he nodded hurriedly, and Princess Taiping next to him asked curiously when she saw this: "What song "Youth Xing"? San Lang has a new work again, okay, okay, you say, you say! ”
Knowing that she had stabbed Lou Zi, Princess Taiping was no longer strong, and when she saw Li Tong looking at her in a blink of an eye, she closed her voice and turned her horse to the side, but she was still staring at here.
"Choose a healthy horse, fight 20 people, sing around the crowd, pay attention to safety, and don't be coerced and trampled by the crowd!"
In the face of this mess, Li Tong had no good way for a while, but hoped to create a new hot spot and divert some of the gathered people, especially the most active Duyi rangers among them.
Li Yi was already young-hearted, and after hearing this, he was already very excited, and nodded again and again: "Don't worry, king!" ”
After finishing speaking, he rode back to the battle team to select the crowd, and Li Tong instructed Liu Youqiu to lead his family members to the team of Princess Taiping's family to protect them.
Princess Taiping rode up again, wanting to ask the appearance of not daring to ask, but she was not curious for too long, the sound of horses' hooves running soon came, and Li Yi and other more than 20 kinds of colorful flags have galloped down the high slope.
More than 20 horsemen galloped up, the momentum was not small, there was no shortage of people watching the terrace under the slope turned their heads to look, seeing the horse team approaching, there was no lack of panic to dodge, but the riot has not spread, the horse team has galloped around the crowd, and at the same time there was a neat and majestic singing: "You don't see the young rangers of the gods, day ball hunting and night throwing!" Hulu will not hesitate to take revenge for thousands of miles! The young ranger is so good, and he is dressed all over his body...... Drop flowers and laugh in the orchid restaurant! ”
The singing was majestic, the tune was high-pitched, and for a time it resounded in the wilderness, and the rest of the noise was drowned out, and the riots in the crowd gradually stopped, and they listened attentively one by one. There were also young people near the terrace who wanted to hear more truthfully, and they rushed out of the crowd.
The cavalry ran back and forth, and after singing several times, a considerable number of servants had gathered in the rear, and there was no shortage of young wanderers who followed the chanting, or were not as powerful as the knights, but their voices were high, and there was a heroic and wanton surging in their hearts, and the female dancers on the terrace were no longer charming, and they were full of spirit, running from field to field.
Seeing that the fire was almost over, Li Tong waved his flag on the high slope, and the knights under the slope rode their horses to the barren place in the wilderness when they saw the order.
When the crowd dispersed to a certain size, the soldiers of the forbidden army who had their own reorganization and assembly slowly approached the terrace, and the crowd was pressed by this force, and they no longer dared to gather and make noise, and each walked towards the four fields, although it was also inevitable to step on, but it did not cause too serious consequences.
Seeing this scene, Princess Taiping on the high slope stared at Li Tong, her eyes were round, and when she turned her head to look at Li Tong, her expression was still a little demented, and after a while, it was as if she had found a treasure, and stepped forward to grab Li Tong's wrist: "How many good stories does San Lang have?" Knowing that you are so bold, what are you afraid of the theater being deserted! ”
Li Tong glanced at his aunt a little speechlessly, and only felt sorry for Li Bai in his heart, what a magnificent and exciting poem, which was used to clean up the mess and wipe his aunt's buttocks.
The farce was lifted, the two families made a line, and when they went on the road again, Princess Taiping regained her vigor, but she was a little embarrassed to face her nephew, and came to the carriage and pointed to the carriage Tang Lingshu laughed and said: "What kind of lady, you have this luck!" It is inevitable that the crowd will be jealous in the future, so you have to be careful! ”
