Chapter 162: So He's?
Lantern Festival!!
The streets and alleys of Suzhou are filled with a joyful atmosphere, not as lively as the Spring Festival, but it is also a unique flavor, and the streets are full of colorful lanterns.
Whether it is on the shore of Taihu Lake, or in a household's house, under the porch, there are lanterns hanging outside the courtyard, hoping to get the blessing of the lamp god, in order to have a good omen in the coming year.
On this day, the streets of Suzhou are crowded with people, so lively and impermanent, on the busy streets, merchants shout hard, and tourists choose their favorite things to their heart's content.
Talented and beautiful women, handsome men and beautiful women are even more in groups. Laugh and play in the streets.
Today's festival is a grand gathering for young people, and few old people enjoy the lanterns outside and swim in Taihu Lake.
Of course, the biggest event of the Lantern Festival is that it gathers famous and powerful talents and beauties in Wuzhong to gather on Taihu Lake. Looking at the dazzling lanterns along the coast, listening to the sound of the gurgling water of Taihu Lake, everyone learns from each other about literature and art, which is definitely an elegant and interesting thing.
It's just that Fang Cai also said that talented and beautiful people are good. However, those who are qualified to participate are not qualified, and they naturally need a certain family background, such as those from poor families.
To put it bluntly, this is a literary and artistic competition, but also a contest of backgrounds, everyone is secretly competing, just to show their faces in front of the major officials and gentry in Wuzhong, and to grow a faΓ§ade for their families.
On the shore of Taihu Lake, there is a dragon boat docked, as an official of Wuzhong, although Li Changsheng's position is humble, he can be regarded as an official in size, and he has a place on the dragon boat.
"Wow, Childe is such a big dragon boat, I have never seen such a big dragon boat since I was a child."
Qing'er followed behind Li Changsheng, and from a distance, a dragon boat like a giant ship docked here, its scale is huge, it can be called the most in the world.
Li Changsheng responded: "The land of Suzhou has been a rich heavenly kingdom since ancient times, and it is really surprising to have the financial resources to make such a big dragon boat." β
These words are not to say that the empire does not have such ships, for naval warfare, the warships of the Tang Dynasty swept in all directions, but they were used for military purposes, as for the use of entertainment, this dragon boat can indeed be compared to the scale of giant warships.
Looking at the successive officials, toasts and gentry from all over the country boarding the ship, Li Changsheng said: "Let's go, if you miss the time to board the ship, you won't be able to see a good show." β
The people who boarded the ship were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, or noble official uniforms, and Li Changsheng was an exception, he did not wear official uniforms, nor did he wear splendid clothes that represented his identity, he was dressed in plain clothes, like a Riba man who ate and drank together.
When they came to the boarding entrance, they needed to show their identities for registration, and the officials in official uniforms were wearing a pass, and the purpose of setting up the registration entrance was only to screen out those idlers who mixed in to eat and drink.
Obviously, Li Changsheng is classified in this category.
"Please show me your invitation!!"
at the entrance. Li Changsheng was stopped, as he was dressed like this, it was difficult for people not to misunderstand.
Fortunately, Yu Shifei gave herself two invitations before, otherwise, she might have really been driven off the boat. At this time, Qing'er took out two gilded invitations.
"It turned out to be a distinguished guest personally invited by the eldest lady, please come on board!!"
Invitations are also noble, and the invitations sent by Yu Shifei in person will inevitably not be ordinary, with the mark of the eldest lady of the Yu family, and these gatekeepers can see the clues at a glance.
After seeing this invitation, their attitude also changed 180 degrees.
Li Changsheng was not overly pretentious, he just boarded the ship, among this person, he was so simple that it was difficult to attract the attention of others.
On top of the splint, gathered a lot of local officials in Wuzhong, they were of different ranks, there were Changshi, Sima, Sigong, Sicang, Sihu, etc., watching them gather together in three or five, I don't know what they were talking about, looking at this situation, I think there were a lot of interests before coming.
As for Li Changsheng's Wu County Order, it can be regarded as the lowest rank among all officials. Those big officials look down on it, and the gentry love to ignore it, so they come here, and their status is a little embarrassing.
There is a saying that people gather by like, and things are divided by groups. Cats looking for cats, dogs looking for dogs, rats looking for rats, no one cares about the county orders in various places, and they naturally look for each other at the same level, which can be regarded as a response.
Only Li Changsheng. When he first came to Wuzhong, except for the acquaintance of Wuzhong's assassination, the other officials could be said to have not known him, let alone took the initiative to deal with him.
Li Changsheng stood alone on the fence of the splint, with his arms on it, blowing the breeze. From a high vantage point, you can look down on the people passing along the shore.
At this moment, he is like a melancholy son.
The grand event began in the evening, and the giant dragon boat docked here in the early hours of the morning, waiting for the distinguished guests.
Looking at the entrance, a dignitary dignitary. A talented and beautiful woman, they all boarded the boat, and in the afternoon, the dragon boat sailed to the shore, and left their field of vision under the envious eyes of countless Suzhou people. It gradually disappeared in the middle of the endless Taihu Lake.
In the evening, the lanterns on both sides of the lake shore are also lit up, which is really beautiful, and people can't help but look at it twice.
The event has not yet begun, everyone is also chatting in pairs, and the young talents participating in the competition are basically all here. All the noble sons and daughters.
Looking at them, Li Changsheng not only let out a sigh, but also said, "Hey!! β
"Huh? Why did Childe sigh? β
Qing'er heard the voice and asked, shouldn't you be happy about such a scene? At least that's what she thinks.
"A group of people are singing and dancing here, laughing and talking about life, but they don't understand the sorrow of the world. It's really sad and lamentable. Li Changsheng said.
"Gongzi has heaven and earth in his heart, a heart, and the dawn of the people in the world, which is naturally incomparable to these people."
Although Qing'er is a maid, she has also seen wind and rain and experienced hardships. thinks that in her heart, Li Changsheng definitely has a heroic heart.
"When will you learn to compliment me?"
Li Changsheng chuckled. Flicked it on her head, but I didn't expect this girl to like to pick up her favorite words and listen to them.
But Qing'er said seriously: "Qing'er is by no means a compliment to the son, but just a statement of what she thinks." β
She said that her words would never be mixed with half a lie, whether it was Qing'er or the people of Wu County, everyone was grateful to Li Changsheng, and everyone had received his kindness.
Qing'er's father died of persecution by corrupt officials, and Li Changsheng learned about it, regardless of his identity, and was willing to stand up and avenge himself, which shows his sincerity. As the high-ranking king of Changping, he is willing to avenge a lowly maid, which is a very remarkable thing in itself.
As he was talking, he saw Yu Shifei seeing herself, and went straight to the target and came to Li Changsheng's side. Before that, she sent people to search all over the corners of the dragon boat, but she didn't see her idol.
In the process of searching, she found "Li San", and after seeing Li Changsheng, she hurried to inquire about the situation. asked, "Li San, have you done the things that were handed over to you before?" β
"Your words, I have passed them on to Master Li."
Seeing her, Li Changsheng knew that she was here for this matter.
"In that case, why don't you see Li Changsheng? I have asked the house slaves, but I have never seen the county commander of Wu County board the ship. Didn't he come to the dragon boat? Yu Shifei said.
When Qing'er heard this, she just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Changsheng.
Yu Shifei didn't know that the plain-clothed young man standing in front of her was the county order of Wu County that resounded throughout Suzhou, and I heard that Li Changsheng had captured the hearts of many girls in Suzhou with his fame, although none of these people had ever seen Li Changsheng's true honor.
It is rumored that Li Changsheng, the county commander of Wu County, is young and promising, and he is still a beautiful man. As a result, the women to be married in the ladies of Suzhou all yearn for spring.
The ability to commit adultery is not only the prerogative of men, but also women.
"I've already helped you deliver your words, but I don't know if Master Li came to the ship? Maybe he's already here, hiding in a corner and not finding it? Li Changsheng explained with a smile.
Yu Shifei frowned and said, "Impossible, I have already sent someone to find the dragon boat." Not even the wine cellar was spared. β
She specially instructed her subordinates to keep an eye on the wine cellar, and heard that Master Li was a heavy drinker, and she was still wondering whether to hide in the wine cellar and drink secretly, but unfortunately, the wine cellar was empty.
Li Changsheng sneered, he seemed to hear the meaning. I love to drink, and I really can't hide it.
"Miss Rain, I know Master Li quite well." Li Changsheng said with a smile.
saw Yu Shifei say proudly: "That's natural, Master Li is my idol, of course I need to know more." β
I don't know what Li Changsheng felt in his heart when he heard her words, anyway, he was a little embarrassed, but Qing'er was silent, snickering silently, and said in his heart: "It's really funny, your idol is standing in front of you, but you don't know it." β
"Then good luck and hope you can have a great night out with your idol."
Li Changsheng personally sent his sincere hope.
"I will......"
Yu Shifei smiled, the picture of her and Li Changsheng spending a good night together had already appeared in her mind, but she had prepared a separate private room for Li Changsheng, and she could watch the whole process of the game.
"Shifei?!"
At this moment, a voice came from behind her, and Yu Shifei turned around to look over, and a cheerful smile suddenly appeared on her face.
"Sister An, you're finally here?!"
With such a grand event, how can there be no home?
Yu Shifei stepped forward and grabbed An Ran's arm, like a child snuggling on her shoulder.
Seeing An Ran, Li Changsheng patted his forehead helplessly, and said in his heart: "It's bad, I can't hide it now." So, he hurriedly turned his body around and avoided looking at An Ran.
