Chapter 200: The First Yuan Night of the Fifth Year of Tianbao
On the fifteenth day of the month, the lanterns are bright, the Shangyuan Festival is brilliant, this is Li Qing's fifth Shangyuan Festival, the flowers are similar every year, the people are different every year, the first year of Shangyuan Night in Yilong County He knew a fortune teller named Curtain Er, five years have passed, this little lady has become his wife, and gave birth to a little lady for him.
As soon as it was dark, Li Jingyan's carriage slowly stopped in front of Li Qing's house, three days ago when she returned from Shazhou, she went directly back to her home, her father felt sick, until today did not get better, she could no longer bear the lovesickness, early in the morning he ordered a little girl to come to deliver the letter first, she also had to spend this warm Shangyuan night with them.
She wore a bright red pomegranate flower dyed dance skirt today, a yellow narrow-sleeved shirt, a red silk around the shoulders, and a five-color ribbon with gold edges hanging from her waist.
"Master, Li Sanniang is here."
A group of old family members are still in Shazhou and have not returned, and the servants in the house are all newcomers, no one knows Li Jingyan's true identity, and they all regard her as the third wife of the master, so they are called Li Sanniang.
Li Qing happened to be in the courtyard to direct his family to hang lanterns, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Li Jingyan walking in from the courtyard gate, she stood at the door and looked at him affectionately, her eyes were tender like water, the two looked at each other, but her head was lowered, with a hint of shyness, her soft and curvaceous lips. The eyes that shimmered like jewels of love, the snow-white and icy skin, and Li Qingxin's beauty that seemed to be eclipsed by a warm current was deeply moved.
He threw away the flying fish lantern in his hand and strode towards her, the happiness and joy of his heart made a smile bloom on his face, and he walked up to it and said softly, "Come with me quickly!" Everyone is waiting for you. ”
After taking two steps, Li Jingyan quietly pulled him. Swing the skirt on your body and whisper, "Is it good-looking?" They dress you up. ”
"Beautiful! I was a little intoxicated. ”
Li Qing was sincerely admired, reached out to hold her soft and slightly cold hand, and passed his body temperature to her.
Li Jingyan's eyes brightened with his praise, and his cheeks were dyed a touch of red, but his slender hand pinched his index finger tighter. With his head down, he walked quickly through the courtyard and towards the inner house.
Walking to a no-man's land, Li Qing suddenly put his arm around her slender waist and kissed her on the mouth with a little roughness, Li Jingyan's heart was beating wildly, and her longing for him could no longer be suppressed, like the floodgates opened, love immediately surging out, she desperately hugged his neck, stood on tiptoe and warmly greeted.
After a while, the lips of the two reluctantly parted, and Li Jingyan hugged his waist. Pressed her face to his chest, closed her eyes and whispered dreamily. Enjoy the sweetest moment of the moment.
She suddenly thought of something, and her brow furrowed slightly. There was a hint of complaint in his tone, "Li Lang, since you went to my house, why didn't you propose to my father?" ”
Li Qing raised her chin, kissed her lightly on the cherry lips, and teased her in her ear: "Why don't I want to, I want to spend candles with you tonight." ”
"Ahh Li Jingyan was ashamed, raised his fist and slammed it twice in the chest. "You nasty guy! ”
Li Qing's heart was fluttering, and he suddenly hugged her tightly. Kissing her happily, his hand roamed around her, Li Jingyan immediately became paralyzed like mud, his face was crimson, he closed his eyes tightly, let his wolf claws be thin, and only groped for a while, Li Qing stopped his hand, straightened her body, kissed her nose and said: "I like you, Surprise Goose!" ”
"Li Lang!" Li Jingyan opened her misty eyes, she sighed faintly, leaned on his chest and complained: "Then why don't you say it, it makes my father worried, and runs around all day long, thinking that I can't marry again, and make him troubled." ”
"I originally wanted to mention it, but there are too many things in the court these days, and I was named the head of the household again, so I want to officially propose to my father by the way, but I can't give you any name, I have wronged you."
"I've told you many times, I don't want any name, I just want to be with you."
Li Jingyan leaned close to Li Qing, and she said emotionally: "I also know that your men's career is important, but you don't want me to wait too long, Li Lang, I'm really a little afraid that something will happen, if I can't be with you, I, I'd rather die!" ”
"I will never fail you, that's a promise."
Li Qing thought about it for a while, and then said decisively: "If you are afraid, you will move to my house tomorrow and live with us, and no one will dare to attack your idea here!" ”
Li Jingyan nodded silently, she suddenly remembered the purpose of coming today, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "I've been here for so long and haven't shown up, Sister Lian'er must be in a hurry, let's go quickly!" ”
As soon as Li Jingyan and Li Qing entered the courtyard gate, they heard the voice of the curtain coming from the warm pavilion, "Xiaoyu, go and see if the wild goose is coming, if you don't come again, we have to leave first." ”
Li Jingyan hurriedly shook off Li Qing's hand, pushed Li Qing out of the courtyard door as if he was a thief, and he ran a few steps into the house, and the laughter and shouting of the three of them immediately came from the house.
"Three women together, there will be a lively future together." Li Qing smiled bitterly, shook his head, and went to the front to arrange the carriage.
。。。
When it gets dark, the lights of Chang'an are also lit up, illuminating Zhuque Street and Chunming Street as if it were daytime, like a sea of lights, there are Chang'e moon lanterns hanging in the air, there are two dragons playing with pearls in the water, there are two-story house lights, as well as golden turtle lanterns, colorful lotus lanterns, tiger lanterns, unicorn lanterns, phoenix lanterns, etc., a lamp with different shapes is realistic and lifelike.
The citizens of Chang'an, who have been holding back for a year, eat dinner early, lock the door, carry out the door with his wife to watch the lanterns, and when he arrives at Hai (evening), there are more people on the street, this year is different from previous years, the emperor canonized the concubine soon, the whole country celebrates, the scale of the lanterns is unprecedented, and people are surging from all over the country.
Li Qing was riding on a horse and was taking three beautiful girls along Chunming Street to visit the lanterns with great interest
People sit in horse-drawn carriages, and there are many people blocking the road, and the carriages move very slowly.
Although it is a lantern festival, there are really a lot of people who set up stalls to sell goods, most of them are cheap and high-quality gadgets, wooden knives and small guns for children to play with, and headdresses for girls, Li Qing bought three boxwood combs from the stall, he urged the horse to come to the carriage, and showed a curtain flower-like smile in front of the car window, she looked at Li Qing's hand behind her back and smiled: "What good things did Li Lang buy us?" ”
"Guess?"
Li Qing smiled: "It's the thing you held up when you first saw me." ”
"I know, it's a comb!" The light rain next to him squeezed his face and grabbed loudly.
"You're the quickest!"
The curtain gently knocked on Xiaoyu's head, and said with a smile: "I asked you to take care of the family's accounts, and you said that you have a bad memory, and you lose everything you do, I seem to have only said it once two years ago, but this Xiaoni remembers it, hey!" What shall I say about you? ”
Lian'er sighed and shook her head, took the comb and gave it to the two daughters, smiled softly, and said to Li Qing: "Li Lang, do you remember when I told you fortunes in Yilong?" ”
"Naturally, I remember that you also sold me a lantern, which is a lotus flower, but unfortunately I forgot it in Zhang's mansion."
Li Qing stretched out his hand and gently held her hand, his eyes showed infinite love, "Time flies so fast, it's been four years in a flash, but I think it's still like yesterday." ”
The curtain suddenly smiled. Said: "I was thinking, if I knew that you would be my husband, I should have brought all your money bags over at that time." ”
Li Qing laughed, "If I knew that you were my mother, I wouldn't have given money to buy lanterns." ”
Curtain also pursed her lips and smiled, and at this time, she suddenly found a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Li Lang, do you think that's Brother Yang?"
"Yang Guozhong?"
Li Qing looked in the direction of her finger. I saw a person who was ghostly and happy, staring at a carriage in front of him, hiding and hiding, but it was Yang Guozhong.
"It's really Brother Yang."
Xiaoyu also recognized Yang Zhao, she beckoned and was about to shout, but was pulled by the curtain and sat down. Pointing at Li Qing, Xiaoyu saw that Li Qing's face was uncertain, so she stuck out her tongue in fright, and quickly retracted into the carriage.
"Li Lang, it seems that something unpleasant happened between you and Yang Zhao?"
Seeing Li Qing's originally happy face, after seeing Yang Zhao, the curtain immediately became gloomy, and guessed that something must have happened between them.
"His name is Yang Guozhong now, not Yang Zhao."
Li Qing snorted heavily, "Don't mention this person again in the future, a despicable and shameless villain like him." I really misjudged him back then. ”
At this time, Li Jingyan, who was in the other window of the carriage, suddenly came over and said, "I seem to have seen Wei Shangshu's carriage just now." There is also Yang Shilang of the Ministry of Officials, who turned out to be single and came to visit the lights. It's weird. ”
Yang Guozhong, Yang Shenjin, and Wei Jian appeared at the same time, what is the name of this? No, something must be going to happen, let's go shop for the lights first, I'll take a look, and I'll come back to you later. ”
Let's talk about it. He carefully instructed the guard's family members again, and then he turned his horse and chased in the direction where Yang Guozhong disappeared.
More and more people are looking at the lights. After walking less than a hundred steps, the horse could no longer walk, so Li Qing had to dismount and give the reins to the family behind him, and chased forward on foot.
This area is already Chongrenfang, close to the imperial city, the lanterns are the most spectacular, the flow of people is surging, there are laughter and shouts everywhere, groups of civilian girls traveling together, sitting in a carriage or a sedan chair of the official daughter, the lights and shadows are moving, it is difficult to find the person you are looking for.
Li Qing was depressed, and suddenly he saw a slender and handsome person standing at the gate of Chongrenfang and looking around, wasn't it Yang Shenjin? Li Qing was overjoyed, he was just about to step forward, when he suddenly heard a deep voice behind him calling him, "Li Shilang doesn't go to accompany his family, why come to watch the lanterns alone?" ”
Li Qing turned around, but he was shocked, only to see a person standing behind him, with a fat and long nose, deep nasolabial folds on his cheeks, his smile was amiable, his slender eyes were squinted, and his eyes flashed with the essence of scheming, who was not Li Linfu?
He is usually surrounded by hundreds of guards, but tonight he is walking alone, with a small hat in green clothes, as if he is a private visit, Li Qing looked behind him and saw that he was followed by two elite followers with knives, with a mighty momentum and a steady step, obviously a person with strong martial arts.
Although Li Qing was shocked, his face was not shown at all, and he hurriedly smiled and arched his hand to Li Linfu, and said: "My subordinates have seen Xiangguo, I was with my family, I turned around and bought something and got separated, I was looking for them." ”
"I see, there are too many people watching the lanterns tonight, and it is easy to get separated."
Li Linfu smiled slightly, and asked with concern: "Do you want the old man to send someone to look for you?" ”
"Thank you Xiangguo, my family and I are separated nearby, it should be easy to find, Xiangguo is busy, I'll go back and have a look."
Since Li Linfu is also there, things are not so simple, near the gate of Chongrenfang, there are single men everywhere, as if looking at the lamp, but his eyes are staring at the workshop, Li Qingxin suddenly became vigilant, it seems that Li Linfu has already arranged, and the top priority is not to find Wei Jian, but to leave quickly, otherwise he will be implicated.
Li Qing arched his hand, then said goodbye and left, looking at his back, Li Linfu groaned, he couldn't think of a reason for him to come here, it seemed that he met by chance, his mind turned back, his eyes were firmly fixed at the gate, Wei Jian had been in for a long time, there should be news.
Suddenly, I saw someone come out and whisper a few words to Yang Shenjin, Yang Shenjin showed joy on his face, and hurriedly ran to Li Linfu, he laughed in a low voice: "Xiangguo, the news has come, Wei Jian was secretly met in Jinglong Taoist Temple, and was caught by Yang Guozhong and Ji Wen." ”
Li Linfu stroked his beard and laughed, and his eyes were full of pride: "Li Heng, this time see how you escaped this!" ”
