Chapter 21: The Willow Heads on the Moon (1)
The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.
At this time, the street is extremely lively, basically in groups of three or five, generally men and women are together, and there are quite a few people. They all dressed up to celebrate this annual grand day, but Li Ye found that many women were dressed in men's clothes, which shows that even in the late Tang Dynasty, in Chengdu, where the terrain is closed, the atmosphere is still relatively open.
The most lively place in front of you is undoubtedly the banks of the river. On the river, cruise ships with all kinds of lanterns stay in the middle of the river, and there are all kinds of performances, especially the Sichuan opera performed on the stage, which is extremely popular.
At this time, there is no Sichuan opera, but it is called Sichuan opera, and naturally it has not changed its face, and the performance form of Sichuan opera is relatively simple, not as colorful as in later generations, but for people in this time and space, it is definitely very exciting. Moreover, in the Tang Dynasty, the status of Sichuan opera was very high, and it even had the reputation of 'Shu opera crowning the world', which can be seen.
Of course, in addition to Sichuan opera, there are also various other performances. The area of the river is limited, but the shops on both sides of the river are also very lively, in addition to the merchants who are full of various lanterns to attract business, many local wealthy families send out the song and dance teams of the house to perform, which can be described as extremely lively.
These performances are also particularly exciting in the eyes of Li Ye and others, and it may be that Zhang Wei, Pei Rong and others are not as interested as they imagined, probably because the Shangyuan Festival in Chengdu is not as good as Chang'an. However, Li Yi, Li Shu and others are very interested, especially Li Yi, it is strange to see everything, if it is not for Li Shu and others to pull, it is very likely to be scattered by the crowd, and it will be a trouble to find it at that time.
Even Xiaoying and Xiaoyue on the side were very interested, if it weren't for their identity, they would have already played with Li Yi, Li Shu and others.
"Brother Seven, there are acrobats over there, let's go and have a look?"
When Li Ye was standing in front of a shop that guessed lantern riddles, Li Yi, who didn't know where to get out, pulled Li Ye's sleeve and wanted him to follow him to where he wanted to go. Looking along the other side's point, the fire flickered in the distance, and some people were performing performances such as spitting fire, and the outside was surrounded by the inner and outer three layers, and the onlookers also applauded from time to time.
"Okay, you can go if you want, but don't run around." Li Ye patted Li Yi's head dotingly, looking like a brother.
In fact, Li Ye doesn't like this kind of acrobatic performance very much, he knows everything about this matter, but since Li Yi likes it, he will accompany the other party to see it.
"Thank you, Brother Seven!"
Hearing Li Ye's agreement, Li Yi suddenly jumped up happily, and hurriedly ran towards the place where the acrobatics were performed in the distance, directly forgetting Li Ye's advice. But fortunately, two pro-soldiers and Li Yi's personal eunuch followed closely, and the other party did not disperse. Seeing that Li Yi was running so fast alone, Li Ye and the others were not very relieved, so they beckoned everyone to go over and take a look.
"Okay, it's beautiful."
"One more!"
"Ladies and gentlemen of Chengdu Prefecture, I wish you all a good time on the Yuan Festival, if you think our performance is good, those who have money will have a money field, and those who have no money will have a personal field. In the next program, we will show you a big change. ”
。。。。。。
There are indeed a lot of people watching acrobatics, and it took Li Ye and others a lot of effort to squeeze in. Of course, Li Ye and his party have so many people, squeezing in like this, they must have squeezed out some other people, and they can't see it well acrobatics, and the people who are squeezed out are naturally unhappy, but when they saw those fierce and vicious soldiers, they all chose to endure this breath.
When Li Ye and the others squeezed in, they found that Li Yi, who was surrounded by his own soldiers, was watching with relish in the innermost. I waited for someone for a long time to squeeze in, and I don't know why this guy fell in love with it.
"Wang Peng, reward the money."
When he saw a person holding a gong and asking for money one by one, Li Yi was very generous.
"Yes, young master."
It has always been a lot of money for ordinary people, but for Li Yi, King Mu, it is nothing. When he came to Chengdu, Li Yi's brother still rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver treasures, and he didn't open a mansion outside, but lived in Li Ye's Shouwang Mansion, and he usually didn't have any expenses, so he was naturally rich. And Li Yi's personal eunuch Wang Peng heard his master's order, and immediately took the consistent money from the personal soldiers next to him and put it in the gong.
Seeing the heavy and consistent money put in, the strong man holding the gong flickered for a moment, and the people around him were also stunned. Fortunately, the sturdy man reacted quickly, knowing that he had met the young master of a big family, so it was possible to be so generous, didn't he see that everyone else was rewarded with a few pennies? At most, it is only a few dozen dollars, and the reward of the child in front of him alone exceeds the money he received before.
"This son, what performance do you want to see? The villain calls the shots and gives you a special show. ”
"Perform for me?" Li Yi didn't expect this money to be so powerful, and he didn't think of what he wanted the other party to perform for a long time, it seemed to be very good-looking, so he set his eyes on Wang Peng, "Wang Peng, what do you think is good-looking?" ”
"We... The villain thinks that the performance just now turned into a rabbit and a pigeon is good. Wang Peng thought for a while, and then said that it was safer.
"Well, that's not bad either." Li Yi nodded and said to the sturdy man, "Just perform what he said." ”
"Okay, let's do another show, but that won't be until the next few shows are done."
Looking at Li Yi's request, Li Ye couldn't help but shake his head, isn't this embarrassing for the other party? What kind of change into a pigeon or something is magic, and that is all to be prepared in advance, but tonight, the other party should also expect this situation.
He knows all the tricks of the performances of these people in front of him, but if he sees through it or not, it is originally a lively picture, and there is no need to expose it.
Just as Li Ye was patiently watching the performance in front of him, Li Hong next to him suddenly leaned into his ear and said, his tone was a little anxious, "Young Master, the second miss is gone." ”
"What? Second sister, isn't she with us? When Li Ye turned around, he found that not only the Second Emperor Sister was gone, but also the Seventh Emperor Sister and Xiaoying were also missing, so he was in a hurry, and yelled at the people next to him, "What are you all doing to eat?" Doesn't it make you look at people well? Why don't you find it for me? ”
Li Hong and the others suddenly panicked, and hurriedly searched around, including Li Ye, who was also looking everywhere, but he was not tall, even if he jumped up, all he saw was a crowded crowd, and he couldn't find the second emperor sister and others at all.
"Young master, let's stop looking." Wang Peng also saw the movement on Li Ye's side, and hurriedly persuaded the little ancestor in front of him.
"Why? I haven't seen the show I ordered yet? Li Yi was a little unhappy.
Wang Peng was in a hurry, even in the early spring, there was a cold sweat on his head, "Little ancestor, the second young lady is lost." ”
Second Miss? Li Yi thought for a while before he realized that the so-called second lady was his second imperial sister, he turned his head and found that not only did his second imperial sister not see it, but also the seventh emperor sister didn't see it, only Li Ye and others were looking around, not knowing what they were doing.
Seeing this situation, Li Yi did not make a small temperament, but walked outside under the escort of his own soldiers.
"Just now, I, Zhou, promised this little man here... Hey, why is this little boy missing? It's okay for the little boy to leave, what Zhou said is still counted, and then I will perform tricks for everyone, I hope everyone will cheer more. ”
Just when the wonderful trick performance started inside, Li Yi and the others also squeezed out of the crowd and joined Li Ye and others.
And at this moment, a sharp-eyed soldier discovered the whereabouts of Princess Anhua and the others, "Young Master, Miss, they are guessing the lantern riddles." ”
