Volume 1 Yang Guandong Goes Chapter 72 Shangyuan Festival

After returning to Yizhai, we went to the main store of Luocheng Post Post Station in West Chang'an City with gifts with Miss Yanxi to congratulate Mrs. Shangguan on the New Year.

The old lady treated me very affectionately, and seemed to have regarded me as her son-in-law.

There have never been many taboos between men and women in the businessman's home, and our Yi family is a big businessman who is famous all over the world.

Therefore, Mrs. Shangguan and Grandpa have the same attitude, and they try their best to promote this marriage between me and Miss Shangguan Yanxi.

Therefore, Miss Yanxi mingled with me and other foreign boys all day long, and the elders of the Shangguan family did not have much to stop them.

It is precisely because the love has been opened, the love of children is like a flower, and the lust between each other has long been difficult to suppress.

First, they secretly held hands behind Qin Chong's back, kissing them like drunken incense, and finally quietly ate the forbidden fruit that was sweeter than honey in the world.

The caravan was about to set off after the Yuan Festival, and during this time in Chang'an City, Liu took Shamihan and Qin Chong and them to Guizhifang to date her sister Lan.

Maybe these three guys just want to create an opportunity for me and Shangguan Yanxi to be alone.

One day after returning from the Shaofu Palace, perhaps because she drank some sake, Miss Yanxi was full of spring and delicate.

I couldn't help but hold her tightly in my arms, the fragrance was like musk, soft as crisp, and the lingering murmuring sound of half-pushing and half-pushing made people forget everything in the world.

Miss Yanxi's skin on the futon is as pure white as mutton fat, which is simply a stunner carved from beautiful jade in the world, which makes people unbearable to blaspheme.

But in the end, I took possession of her completely, and the scarlet bits on the sheets bloomed like plums.

After more than ten days of exposure to the sun, most of the snow on the streets in the city and the gallop outside the city has melted, and the camels and horses are safe and sound.

100 years ago, during the Longxing period of the Han Dynasty, Chang'an was the distribution place of silk in the world.

At that time, merchants from all over the world who came to the East to buy silk and silk cloth came to Chang'an, and they could buy all kinds of silk produced in Wuyue, Chushu, and Qiyan in the East China Sea.

After the Wuhu Disaster and the Great Jin Dynasty moved south to Jiankang, the silk merchants and machine weavers in the north also crossed the river to the south and took root in the Jingchu area in the south of the Yangtze River.

In addition, the southern land is warm and humid, which is suitable for agricultural mulberry.

Therefore, I heard my grandfather say that every spring when the flowers bloom to go to Jiankang Jiangnan, as soon as there is flowing water, you can hear the sound of spring silkworms foraging, reeling silk weaving.

Chang'an's silk trade is no longer as prosperous as it used to be, and now business magnates like grandfathers from the West regard Chang'an as a turnover place on the way.

Regardless of whether they took the land route or the sea route, they all went straight to Jiankang Wuyue in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Once I asked my grandfather why he stayed in Chang'an for so long.

Regardless of the factors of ice and snow weather and inconvenient travel, two months is enough to make a round trip from Jiankang!

My grandfather told me that in addition to the capital of selling horses and jade to raise money for the purchase of the south, there is also the huge amount of goods purchased by my caravan every time.

Several silk magnates in Jiankang City usually did not have enough goods until the spring of the following year.

On the other hand, every spring, before the new silk in the south goes on the market, it is also the cheapest time of the year for silk in the market.

Whether it is a big family or an ordinary small family, they will take out the old cloth and dispose of it so that they can make room for Xinsi.

After two months of recuperation, all the horses of the entire caravan were strong and ready to go, just waiting for a spring thunder on the night of Shangyuan.

The day before the Shangyuan Festival, Miss Yanxi returned to Yizhai with us again.

The instructors pasted paper silk on the more than 100 sky lanterns she sent a few years ago, and put them into the wick of fire oil for use on the night of Shangyuan.

Since the last time I had a skin-to-skin relationship with her, this little woman has become more and more clingy to me, and she does not want to leave my side for half a step.

And I am also deeply in love with this fragrant and virtuous Han girl, if there are no later changes, I plan to return from Jiankang, I will beg Uncle Su to go to Shangguan's house to ask for marriage.

Goodbye, distant Yamika! Beautiful and kind Kuzhina, I'm sorry, I only want to marry a woman from the Han family in this life.

If the elders of Shangguan Yanxi's family have no opinion, I will take her back to Khotan and marry her for Qin and Jin.

It's a pity that God doesn't fulfill people's wishes, and we are destined to not be husband and wife in this life.

Maybe it's a kind of punishment from the Buddha for me, a man who is indiscriminate, I can owe everything in this world, but I can't owe love debts.

If you fail a beautiful woman, you will be punished tenfold and hundredfold, and the executioner will be yourself.

"Brother Yi, have you ever seen a sky lantern?"

In the courtyard of the front yard of the village, I was standing stupidly with a slender hair-like bamboo lampstand, and Shangguan Yanxi was squatting at my feet carefully pasting white paper on the lampstand and fixing the fire oil wick.

The afternoon sun was as warm as spring, Shangguan Yanxi raised her head and asked innocently in her busyness, her face as bright as a peach blossom was covered with fine beads of sweat.

Qin Chong, Liu Zhen'er and more than 20 other guys were also clumsily painting gourds around, and they were busy for half a day to make more than 50 sky lanterns.

Like a budding white lotus, placed in the middle of the courtyard, it is very beautiful.

According to this schedule, the plan of a sky lantern for the entire Yizhai people before dinner can be completed ahead of schedule.

"I haven't seen the sky lanterns, but on the night of the Double Ninth Festival in the oak slope of Longshang Plateau, I have seen torches all over the sky!"

I laughed and hated to reach out to wipe the fine sweat off Miss Yanxi's face, but I was afraid that the guys would laugh at me, so I had to give up.

"What's that? Tomorrow night, I will take you to see the grand occasion of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Chang'an City! ”

Speaking kung fu, another sky lantern was completed in Shangguan Yanxi's hands. She stood up, stretched, took out her champa and wiped her lovely face.

"Miss Yanxi! What kind of grand occasion to describe to everyone! ”

Qin Chong on the side coaxed, and the other guys also happily agreed.

It is the arrival of Miss Yanxi that makes the whole Yizhai have a festive atmosphere like a family for the Spring Festival.

Everyone also likes this kind, capable, and beautiful Han woman from the bottom of their hearts.

"This scene will only exist in the sky, and Penglai in the world is in Chang'an! You'll find out tomorrow night! ”

Shangguan Yanxi grinned, shook the champa happily, and went to check the craftsmanship of this group of temporary apprentices one by one.

After all the sky lanterns were ready, Miss Yan Xi took the ink inkstone wolf and wrote everyone's wishes for the year on the sky lanterns reverently.

Peace, reunion, going home, making money, marrying a wife, and no disaster, everyone's wishes are different, but they are basically included in these twelve words.

While I was racking my brains about what to write my wish, Miss Yanxi took it upon herself to connect the two of us with silk threads.

The words left on one of the sky lanterns are: In the heavens, I wish to be a winged bird, and the other is: I wish to go down to the earth to be a branch.

In the twentieth year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the lights in Chang'an City on the night of Shangyuan will never be forgotten.

After welcoming the worship of the god of the stove, we came to the hillside in front of Yizhai to look at Chang'an, but saw countless colorful sky lanterns rising from all directions of the whole city, and the whole night sky became a brightly lit sky market.

Or there are sky lanterns that fall slowly, and slowly disappear into the night like countless flying immortals outside the sky.

When Shangguan Yanxi's prayer lantern and I fluttered from our hands, Miss Yanxi held my hand tightly.

It was as if I was like a sky lantern, and I would be swept away from her eyes, leaving only a dream-like memory of prosperity, and there would be no trace of it again.

"Brother Yi, I'm waiting for you in Chang'an, you must come back and marry me!"

Just as the curtain was about to come to an end on our Lianli sky lantern, Miss Yanxi whispered infinitely affectionately in my ear.

This sentence was said to me by Yamika on the occasion of her parting seven years ago, and when Kurina on the banks of the Peacock River gave me autumn clothes half a year ago, she also had an inseparable sad expectation.

And I, a young and frivolous person who regards love as a plaything and doesn't know what to promise, have all agreed so easily!

I'm guilty! Pray that the Buddha will punish me!
