Chapter 184: The grandson of the Marquis of Wenxin
"Wow, that's beautiful! Sister Shisu, look at it. ”
At night, walking on the streets of the ancient city of Xianyang, as far as the eye can see, the streets and alleys are full of colorful lanterns.
Colorful lanterns are connected in strings, looking from a high place, like a dazzling and colorful fire dragon, coiling and twisting, illuminating the streets of Xianyang.
"yes, it's beautiful."
Ying Zisu responded slightly, she smiled, and the light of the lantern contrasted, and the picture here, with its fairy scroll, is really difficult to describe in words.
The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, the bright moon is in the sky, and tonight's Xianyang City is particularly lively, more than 100 times more lively than the spring day and the Dragon Boat Festival.
A few days ago, someone in Xianyang City released a message, saying that the Meng family was going to make tens of millions of lanterns to illuminate the entire Xianyang City, and named it "Lantern Festival".
At that time, all the people of the city can participate for free, and enjoy the lanterns in the streets and alleys, whether it is on the street or on both sides of the riverbank, all of which are decorated with colorful lanterns.
Not only that, Meng Yi spent a lot of money to hire juggling troupes from all over the city to entertain the common people.
At night, the city is full of jubilation and excitement, and thousands of households come out of their houses to the street to feel the excitement of the "Lantern Festival".
Originally, it was dark at night, and Xianyang City, which was silent and uninhabited, seemed extremely lively at the moment, compared to day, it was also more than that.
Even some people such as royal nobles, courtiers and their families couldn't hold back the atmosphere here, and brought their families to the street to feel the charm of some lantern festivals.
Even the First Emperor couldn't help but stand on top of the imperial city, looking far away, and said with a smile behind his back: "This kid really has enough ghost ideas, what kind of lantern festival is to summon all the people in the city." ”
As an emperor, when you see the people singing and dancing, you will not feel angry, but you will feel happy, because only a sage monarch will let the people live happily, and in this way, it does not reflect the rule of his own sage.
At the same time, Ying Shisu, Hermione and the others walked down the street, in addition to admiring the lanterns on both sides, they were very curious and amusing to see the many vendors on the street buying all kinds of things.
On weekdays, they rarely came out of the palace, but this time they dressed up in disguise and asked for the permission of the first emperor before they came out of the palace.
In addition to these, the most interesting thing about the lantern festival is not that there are many people, but "guessing the lantern riddle", each lantern has a corresponding riddle, which is undoubtedly a fatal temptation for those who are scholars.
Or groups of young men gather together to guess lantern riddles, in addition to showing their well-informed side, they can also attract the envy of countless people, which greatly satisfies their vanity.
Looking at the lively scene on the street, Hermione said: "Sister Zisu, your Central Plains is lively, no more than our Huns, far from such a rich life. ”
The Huns, except for the people sitting around the bonfire at night, either wrestling or jousting, but where have they seen these colorful lives, she also understands why the Huns always like to invade the Central Plains.
Because not only is there abundant products here, but even the life is so colorful that people are envious.
"You only see the good side, where do you know the other side of him."
It is estimated that only tonight is so lively, the streets are very deserted on weekdays, not only in the evening, the people are closing their doormen, and the streets are like ghost towns.
"I've heard people say that this lantern festival seems to be funded by the Meng family, and I don't know what Xiao Yi has been busy with recently, and he is rarely seen." Hermione said.
Mentioning the word 'Meng Yi', Ying Zisu's face also showed a touch of similarity, since returning to Xianyang, Meng Yi's official worship Shangqing, he is busy with government affairs every day, and the number of times the two of them meet is also less.
In this regard, Ying Zisu also understands very well, it is a good thing to be busy with government affairs as a man, but women will also feel lonely, and they also hope that their beloved men will spend more time with themselves.
It's such a simple wish, but it has become a luxury.
When he learned that the Meng family held a "lantern festival", Ying Zisu came to the street without hesitation, even if he didn't see Meng Yi himself, seeing the lanterns could solve the pain of lovesickness.
"He is now an important minister by his father's side, and he must have been appointed to an important position, so let's not talk about him." Ying Zisu said.
In ancient times, there was a rule that women were not allowed to interfere in politics, especially in the Qin Dynasty, which paid the most attention to this. At that time, the Empress Dowager Qin Xuan Miyue controlled the government and politics, and the power of the Mi family leaned towards the government and the opposition, and the Ying family could suffer greatly, and it was only later that the rule that women were not allowed to interfere in the government and politics was established.
Especially harem women, it is a big sin to talk about the government in vain.
But just as she was finishing speaking, a childish girl suddenly ran over, she ran over with her little feet, and said, "Sister, this is for you." ”
I saw that the little girl gave Ying Shiso and Hermione a beautiful red flower respectively.
Ying Zisu squatted down, looked at the cute little girl, and said, "Thank you, why did you give me flowers?" ”
The little girl sucked her fingers and pouted her cute little mouth and said, "My brother said that he couldn't say it." ”
"Brother? Which brother won't let you say? ”
The little girl very obediently pointed to a white-faced boy in the distance, dressed in white, with a jade pendant on her waist, and looked like a handsome boy.
Ying Zisu looked over, but saw a strange man standing upright, looking at him with a blank look.
On the left and right of the white-faced little student, there are two subordinates, who want to be the son-in-law of which family, but the young master and son in Xianyang City, Ying Zisu is also very familiar with the conversation, but when he sees this son, he doesn't know what he looks like, but he doesn't know either.
Hermione looked at her and asked, "Sister Zisu, whose son is this?" ”
"I don't know."
Ying Shisu said softly.
"Then why did he send us flowers?"
Although Ying Shisu and Hermione have gone through some dressing, it is difficult to hide the peerless elegance of the two of them, as the so-called: Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island, fair lady, gentleman.
Since ancient times, it is a common thing for a gentleman to love beauty.
Beauties like Ying Shiso and Hermione, who are all over the country and the city, are naturally indispensable to suitors, compared with the current popular Internet celebrity artificial beauties, the two can really be described as natural and pure beauty, and they are natural beauties out of the water hibiscus.
"Who knows, we'll find out later." Ying Zisu said.
Although the white-faced little girl said that he didn't let the little girl say it, the deity was honest and didn't leave, for fear that he would not be discovered by the two beauties.
After they saw it, the white-faced little boy walked towards them, took out two copper plates from his waist, handed them to the little girl, and said gently, "Take them to buy candy and eat them." ”
"Thank you, brother."
The little girl ran away with two copper plates and her little feet.
After the little girl left, Ying Zisu first asked, "I don't know why Gongzi wants to send flowers to the two of us." ”
The white-faced Xiaosheng said: "The so-called: the sword is given to the gentleman, the flowers are matched with the beauty, like the two of these delicate women, this son really can't help it, and please don't blame the two girls." ”
"I'm waiting for Joe to dress up as a man, but Childe can see through our identity, Childe's eyesight is really unique." Ying Shisu replied indifferently.
"Such a charming face as a girl, even if you are dressed as a man, it is difficult to hide your unique charm, it is not unique in my eyes, but as long as you are not a clumsy person, you can see your honor."
Listening to him speak, he is personable, there is a bookish anger between his words, when he speaks, he is not in a hurry or slow, and he is generous, which is really comparable to other sons.
"It's interesting for you to talk, in Xianyang City, I also know a lot of young masters, but I don't know you well, dare to ask what is the name of the son?" Ying Zisu asked.
"In Xia Lu Xian."
"Since I have opened a new direction, the Lu family can be described as glorious and glorious, but it is sad that the Marquis of Wenxin is afraid of himself, and the son is a surname, can he know the Marquis of Wenxin?" Ying Zisu said.
"Don't hide it, I'm the grandson of Wenxin Hou." At the mention of this, Lu Xian's expression revealed a trace of pride, and he felt superior.
(ps: In history, there are great doubts about whether Wenxinhou has descendants, and whether Yingzheng is the son of Wenxinhou is also inconclusive. )
"It turns out that the son of Lu Xian is the grandson of Wenxinhou, and the little woman is disrespectful."
"I don't know the names of the two girls?"
"Little woman Su Zi."
"Hermione."
Ying Zisu used a fake name, obviously she had a hand for Lu Xian, the two didn't know each other, and they confessed the true situation to each other, and the girl's family still had to be careful.
"It turned out to be Miss Su and Miss He, and they are polite."
After the two of them returned the salute, Ying Zisu asked: "If I remember correctly, Lu Gongzi's family lives in Sanchuan County, how could he come to Xianyang?" ”
Lu Xian smiled and said: "Haha, the two girls don't know, I will be His Majesty's birthday in the near future, and my father is slightly ill, so he sent me here to send a birthday outline for His Majesty." ”
Ying Zisu also knew about this matter, and it was his father's birthday soon, but his father didn't like extravagance and waste, so he didn't put on a big banquet, let alone invite the Quartet, and now the Lu family came uninvited, I'm afraid there is another hidden secret.
"Sending the birthday gang is a big deal, Lu Gongzi was entrusted by his father at a young age, presumably Gongzi must have something extraordinary." Ying Zisu deliberately praised and said.
Lu Xian said solemnly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I killed a white-fronted insect with my bare hands when I was young, which is not a good thing." ”
It's nothing to say, but his expression can't hide his pride, killing a tiger at a young age is not something that anyone can do.
"It's still early, why don't you invite the two girls to the inn for a drink?"
"Okay."
Hermione wanted to refuse, but Ying Shisu directly agreed.
So, the three of them went together, and with the same four, Lu Xian gave the two people a look, and the two of them left with a wicked smile.
