Su Yu said well, because the facilities in Zhaoxing's castle are too complete, Su Shi already likes to set the venue of the banquet in Zhaoxing's castle, so when the banquet ends at the third watch in the middle of the night, the garden is full of drunken officials who enjoy the scenery or prepare to compose poems.

Zhao Xing was puzzled by this, at first when he encountered the castle infiltration incident, the first thing he thought of was the official mansion, thinking that the imperial court had something in mind, but if the imperial court investigated him for the truth, it was too simple, just send a royal historian to come, unless Zhao Xing wanted to rebel immediately, otherwise he could only let the imperial history look around. Now, after figuring out that the other party is just looking for help at the level of the next person, Zhao Xing can be eighty percent sure that this persistent infiltration is not from the official request...... The rest will be easy.

On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, after a whole day of preparation, the whole city of Hangzhou was lit up, which means: the carnival of ancient China has begun.

South to Longshan, north to Beixinqiao, forty miles *** endless.

Following in the footsteps of Su Dongpo, you can see "Flying Fire Planet, Light Dai Horizontal Waves Flowing"; "The bright moon is like frost, and the people are picturesque", this is the "three or five nights of Qiantang" in Su Dongpo's eyes. At this moment, the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival is not only lingering on the tongue, but also on the wings of your nose. "At the bottom of the tent, there is no dust to follow the horse." The incense will linger in our hearts, making our hearts like a frozen river.

Following in the footsteps of Wang Anshidi, you can guess the lantern riddle. You will see a large family hanging a lantern high, hanging a link under the lamp, and the couplet says: "Horse lamp, lamp horse, light out horse stop." "It doesn't matter if you can't answer, if you answer, you will be recruited as a fast son-in-law, then there will be a legend of Wang Anshi missing. You just need to silently taste the next link "Flying Tiger Flag, Flying Tiger, Flag Rolling Tiger Hide", and then feel that the knowledge at that time was really valuable. Unlike modern times, which are constantly depreciating with the rise in house prices.

Let's still taste the words of "Yuan Night" by Zhu Shuzhen, a dating madman in the Song Dynasty, this girl wrote the Lantern Festival in Hangzhou, and she had a new love on this day, so she wrote: "The candle and silver flower are red." Blowing the sky and blowing the spring breeze. The new love is busy with the beginning, and the old things are thrilling in the dream.

I hope that for the time being, I might as well let the moon be hazy. It takes a lot of time to enjoy the lanterns, and it may not be the same next year. ”

Ouyang Xiu is a simple person, and he also said: "On New Year's Eve last year,

The flower market is lit up like day.

Willow tops on the moon.

People about after dusk.

On New Year's Eve this year,

The moon and the lights are still the same.

I don't see last year's people,

Tear-soaked spring shirt sleeves. ”

Xin Qiji is a heroic faction. He said heroically: "Thousands of trees bloom on the night of the east wind. More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the wind flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person was there. ”

The footsteps followed the flow of people to the bottom of the pagoda. "Five horses" Tang Di is leading his five ladies to stand under the lantern shed. While patting his stomach rhythmically, he looked at the people of Hangzhou who came to admire his lanterns with satisfaction. Standing beside him, Zhou Bangshi saw Zhao Xing coming over. Hurriedly said hello - he greeted him with an ivory bone knife.

Today, the people of Hangzhou almost came out of the city, and Zhao Xing also walked out with the whole family, but because of the safety in the castle, eight Gurkha warriors were left in the castle by him, and only the new African man and two African maids stood beside him. The African man was nicknamed "Tyson" by Zhao Xing, and the two African maids were named "Lianda" and "Cindia".

Zhou Bang's family was also there, two African maids protected Cheng Azhu, and Liao Xiaoxiao was familiar with Zhou Bang's Hun's family, and the two chatted in a low voice. Zhou Bang's wife is also a fashionable person, and now that her family is rich, she also has gold leaf on her face to make ground flowers, which are golden in the light, which is unforgiving.

Yang Chong's Jinshi background, his wife is also an official eunuch, and Liao Xiaoxiao is talking to an oiran, and after a while, the three women got together, chattering non-stop, Cheng Azhu nodded at the three people from afar, holding the child and admiring it. Chen Yiyi never left Zhao Xing, kept rubbing Zhao Xing with her little finger, and said her mantra in the past few days: "Eighteen." ”

When leaving the castle, Su Shi and Qin Guan were still walking with Zhao Xing, the crowd was surging, Su Shi was too popular, and he didn't take a few steps to let people drag him to chant poetry, and Gao Yu and Yang Zuren were busy leading the officials and the Hunan army to maintain the order of the Lantern Festival, the two of them were not in the mood to appreciate the Hangzhou Lantern Festival, but after walking for a while, only Zhao Xing's family was left to act alone.

Zhou Bangshi, Yang Chong's family and Zhao Xing's family greetings, Tang Di pulled Zhao Xing to guess the lantern riddle, his family's lantern riddle was asked by Zhou Bangshi and Yang Chong, the two great talents, and it was a profound mess, Zhao Xing was originally weak in this regard, and when he heard Tang Di pull together, he hurriedly waved his hand.

There are a lot of people today, and a wave of people is coming, Zhao Xing and Tang Di and the others didn't talk a few words, the people of Xindi came and separated them, and separated them, separated by countless heads, Zhao Xingchong arched his hands and continued to move forward.

After walking a short time, he saw the group of Israelites in his castle, and these Israelites also began to follow the example of the Song people and hung up lanterns, but these people did not take off their Jewish nature, and even set up stalls under the lamps, as if the lamps were not the main purpose, and selling goods was the right thing.

Today, their main goods are toys, Fuzhou mud doll, which is a kind of children's toy, made of mud into children of different shapes, some children turn their heels, some children are peeing, and some children sit on the ground and roll...... It is said that there are 360 images of these children, and after they are kneaded with clay, they are gently fired, fired into pottery, and painted with oil paint on the outside, so that they can become cute toys dressed in Song Dynasty fashion, and let children play with them.

If these little potters are put in modern times, they are all sky-high. It is said that in modern times, only more than 60 images of children can be gathered, and there are only 16 in China, and the auction price of each of these 16 Song Dynasty potters is tens of millions of US dollars, while in the Song Dynasty, each is worth three cents.

"It's expensive!" Zhao Xing insisted. The Jews really have to squeeze oil out of their bones, as far as Zhao Xing knows, these Hangzhou clay figurines are sold elsewhere for a penny, Zhao Xing, the castle owner, pulled down the shelves to bargain with this group of Jews, and the Jews actually sold three cents per potter.

It's infuriating.

Cheng Azhu pinched a few potters. Love. She handed one of the pottery figures to the child, and the child immediately pinched it in his hand and stuffed it into his mouth, Zhao Xing was shocked to see it, but he removed the clay figure from the child's mouth. The guy closed his eyes and burst into tears.

The Jew refused to lower the price at all, he took a lamp from the lamp shed, stuffed it into Zhao Xing's hand, and said: "Lord, this price is not negotiable, you buy a lot of land." I can give you a lantern. ”

Chen Yiyi was reluctant, she glared at the Jews and said, "My family's property - this lantern is my family's property." ”

The Jew replied with a red face and a heartbeat: "Young mother, this thing belongs to your family." But I didn't take it for nothing. I bought it with real money, Chen Yiyi continued to argue: "This glass lamp, copper shelf, glass, including the candles inside, costs only 400 Wen, you take it from my house, and I know that it will sell you at most 500 Wen - it seems that you are the one who does the accounting." ”

The Jew smiled happily: "Young mother." Don't talk to me about the cost. This thing sells five times in the night market, five times! You buy three hundred terracotta figurines. It's not consistent, but I gave you a lantern worth five times, and if you count it, I've lost money. ”

Chen Yiyi was angry: "What consistent? Didn't you just say that the box containing the peach man should be sold consistently, and the peach man full set is extremely rare, and it should be sold twice? Also, I also bought a comb, hairpin, all kinds of things, you finally counted me ten times, you still know how to call me a young mother, and you don't let the price, how can it be reasonable. ”

The Jew spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, made a helpless look, turned to Zhao Xing and said, "Your Excellency, if you need gifts—take them all, and you don't have to pay a single penny." If you need to trade, ten dollars, not a penny, I will give you an additional glass lamp from your home. ”

Chen Yiyi was amused by this Jew, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse that Zhao Xing had lost interest in bargaining and was about to get up and leave, she threw down a sentence indignantly: "Pack, send it to my house, and give it to you, you stingy person." ”

The Jew picked up the gold coin that Chen Yiyi had dropped, and under the admiring gaze of the Jews around him, he shouted cheerfully, "Thank you, generous young mother." ”

Zhao Xing was worried about the safety of the castle, and after shaking around, he hurriedly got into the carriage and took people home, while the others walked around all night and waited until dawn to return to the castle.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the peak of the carnival in the Song Dynasty, Su Shi prepared a luncheon early, entertained his colleagues, everyone planned to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to travel, this banquet was widowed, everyone called the official prostitutes, and had no intention of listening to the song and dance of Zhao Xing's family, as soon as the sun set, the banquet ended in a hurry, Su Shi took people to roar away, and Zhao Xing stayed in the castle under the pretext of taking care of the children.

After drinking too much, Zhao Xing staggered to the toilet, a maid followed him with small steps to take care of it, and when he reached the door, Zhao Xing stopped, and pointed to a peach wood man hanging on the door in surprise, and asked the maid: "Who is doing the land?" ”

The widow girl looked up at the peach wood man, and sneered, the peach wood man had all four limbs, no facial features on his face, and wrote two fly-headed small letters "Zhao Xing", and wrote a large "test" on his chest.

The widow covered her mouth and laughed quietly for a while, and said in a low voice: "Who else can there be, it must be Chen Shaomu." ”

Zhao Xing nodded sullenly and said casually: "Stay by the door!" ”

Then, with his head down, he walked into the toilet rather depressed.

The hanging of peach wood people on the toilet door is a kind of "** technique" in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that if a woman in the Tang Dynasty could not get the love of her husband, she would get up early in the morning on the first day of each month and walk to the southeast, and the first peach tree she encountered cut off the branches of the peach tree to make a peach figure, with her husband's name written on it, and the word "test" written on her chest, and hung on the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month - it is said that this will make her husband change his mind.

When Zhao Xing came out of the toilet, the widow was rubbing the paper, and she rolled the paper into two sticks and stuffed it into her nostrils. Seeing Zhao Xing coming out, he immediately lifted the wooden barrel next to the toilet and carried a brush into the toilet. Zhao Xing only heard the sound of water in the toilet, and couldn't help muttering: "You have to save water!" ”

The maiden had very sharp ears, and when she heard Zhao Xing speak, she stopped what she was doing and asked curiously, "Save water, why?" To live a pigsty life? It's so stinky, what kind of water is saved? ”

The maiden said as she winked. The tone seems to be questioning, more like **. Zhao Xing choked with these words, rolled his eyes, slapped his thigh, and scolded: "Bring a ladder." ”

The widow hurriedly finished her work. ran back to the toilet door at a trot, squatted down on the spot, buried his head, and made a gesture of being beaten, and Zhao Xing, who was watching, wanted to hit someone.

"Nagatoden, come up. I can hold it," cried out the maiden, patting her on the shoulder.

Zhao Xing raised his foot. Gritted teeth. stepped on the back of the maiden. The figure of the widow is not tall, and she is very stable when she carries Zhao Xing, a strong man, and when Zhao Xing climbs to the door, she pulls down the peach man, and then jumps to the ground, and the widow bows and says, "Changmen Palace." Please go first. I'm going to brush the latrines again. ”

Zhao Xing took the peach wood man into his arms and walked towards his house with his hands behind his back. From a distance, I saw a figure squatting at the door of the house. was holding a pocket shovel for raising flowers to shovel the soil in front of the door, and carefully put the shoveled soil into a cloth bag, Zhao Xing shook his head and muttered: "None of them are peaceful." ”

The one squatting at the door is Kasri, what she is doing now is the same as Chen Yiyi, which is a kind of Arab "** technique".

It is said that the Arab woman believes that her home is the place where her husband shows his dignity, and when the husband steps on the door, it means that he begins to exercise sovereignty, so the soil under the threshold has a kind of magic, and if the wife puts the soil under the threshold into a pouch and presses it under the pillow, then the husband's love will return, and he will frequent his wife's bed to exercise his sovereignty.

"What are you messing around", Zhao Xing walked up to Kasli and said with a sigh.

Kasli enjoys the treatment of a concubine, not because Zhao Xing covets her, but because of the effect of the "Heavenly Holy Order". The slave girl had been serving for two years and was about to regain her freedom when the one-year service expired.

Regaining her freedom as a slave girl, Kasri did not have a wide range of options to remarry. Zhao Xing gave her the reputation of a concubine, so that she would marry a young man with a better family background and make her old age happier.

However, Kasli's idea does not seem to be able to adapt to the service restrictions on wives and concubines in the Song Dynasty, she enjoys the reputation of the concubine room, and feels that Zhao Xing is not intimate with her, so she has another idea. In response to Zhao Xingdi's questioning, she raised her face and didn't say anything, only held up a cloth bag full of dirt, and then pasted it to her chest, tears raining down.

Zhao Xing let out a long sigh and walked into the house. Cheng Azhu was holding the child in the house, her face was full of satisfaction, and she asked without raising her head: "What is the Hu girl doing, she has been worried a lot recently, and the officials don't care." ”

"Okay", Zhao Xing agreed very happily: "Wait, I'll beat them all up tonight." ”

Ah Zhu glanced at Zhao Xing, and said hesitantly: "Official, the concubine is just complaining, you just need to ask them why they are doing things upside down, just do it, why do you want to beat them." ”

Zhao Xing grinned and didn't answer Cheng Azhu, he hugged the child and teased him.

Cheng Azhu's whole mind was on the child, as soon as Zhao Xing played with the child, there was nothing else in her mind, and she hurriedly accompanied Zhao Xing to play with the child.

This is the night, the child is to wake up at night to feed, open his eyes for a few minutes, eat and drink enough and have fallen asleep, Cheng Azhu is reluctant, holding the child all over the ground, in fact, the child has already slept soundly.

But even if the child is not awake, Zhao Xing and Cheng Azhu never get tired of looking at the child's sleeping statue, they talk about the child's eyebrows and eyes together, and the topic is endless, how to say that they are all interested.

The next day, at dawn, Zhao Xing was still asleep, Tang Di was already energetic with his five clan daughters to visit, he came to pick up the goods, with a flying ticket drawn by the Israeli ticket house, watching Zhao Xing's wife and concubine hurriedly salute his five wives, he patted his stomach with satisfaction, pretended to be bold and handed the ticket to Zhao Xing, and said: "Lord Zhao, I know that this ticket house has something to do with you, presumably you are also familiar with the authenticity of the ticket house, inspection, 224000 yuan, a lot." ”

Zhao Xing took the ticket, carefully inspected the dark flowers on the ticket, nodded and handed the ticket to Chen Yiyi, and at the same time beckoned the servant to present the prepared goods: "Brother Qiushan, please inspect the goods, eight gems, twenty-four leopard tooth bone knives, please check it, if you are not satisfied, I will exchange it for you." ”

Tang Di waved his hand and motioned for his five ladies to come forward to inspect, and he continued to stare at Zhao Xing, patting his stomach while asking: "Lord Zhao, I heard Brother Nan (Zhou Bangshi) say that there are patterns of jewelry in your house, can you let me see it?" It's also good to order a few pieces. ”

For the small request made by such a big customer, Zhao Xing replied without hesitation: "Naturally, I want to show Brother Qiu Shan, but I am afraid that Brother Qiu Shan will not be able to see it in one day." ”

The servants were busy moving, Zhao Xing chatted with Tang Di, his five ladies chatted with Liao Xiaoxiao, these people were all from the capital, and they met a famous person in the capital who could dress up, plus everyone was rich and leisurely, and the conversation was in full swing. Several ladies asked Liao Xiaoxiao for their opinions, and asked Liao Xiaoxiao to help them choose emeralds and discuss suitable jewelry together...... As the saying goes, three women in one play, four women in a flock of ducks, six women chatting, it is simply the end of the world.

On the other hand, Cheng Azhu couldn't talk about such a topic, Kasli was very careful to stay by her side, and deliberately chatted with Cheng Azhu about some parenting knowledge in blunt Chinese. So although Kasli has a strange tone, Cheng Azhu doesn't feel that there is an understanding barrier between the two.

The two chatted happily in a low voice, Chen Yiyi turned around the two of them, and then went around behind Zhao Xing, first asked Zhao Xing about the disposal of the ticket, and then rubbed Zhao Xing with his index finger and whispered: "Eighteen, eighteen." ”

Zhao Xing was already tired of Chen Yiyi's words, and he chatted with Tang Di without saying a word, while sweeping Tang Di's five clan girls from time to time with the corner of his eye.
