Chapter Twenty-Six: A Thousand Trees Bloom on the Night of the New Year's Eve IV

Wenxitang's giant light wheel was officially built on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month. On the day of its completion, the whole city was shocked.

Wen Xitang was triumphant, because there was no movement over there in Ruyiju.

Unexpectedly, on the morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Ruyiju suddenly organized a large number of people to quickly assemble all kinds of accessories that had been built in advance, and set up a giant lantern tower with a height of 100 feet and a width of more than ten rooms on the opposite side of the light wheel within half a day.

The whole body of the lantern tower is made of silk fabrics, and it is hung with all kinds of delicate and exquisite lanterns, and the lanterns are painted with dragons, phoenixes, tigers and leopards and other auspicious beasts and birds, or soaring or jumping, or rising or falling, lifelike. Between the lanterns are pearls and jade and gold and silver spikes. The north wind blows, the lights are shining, and the gold and jade are ringing, like a fairyland on earth.

Judging from the effect alone, the light wheel of Wenxitang and the light tower of Ruyiju can be said to be up and down, each with its own merits.

However, Wenxitang's giant light wheel took a long time, and although it was dazzling when it was unveiled, there were not too many surprises. The giant lamp tower of Ruyiju was built overnight, as if a hundred zhang tall buildings rose from the ground, which is breathtaking.

Wen Xitang was naturally angry about such a result, but there was no better way to overwhelm Ruyiju for a while.

Wang Fei knew that Mrs. Pei was very dissatisfied with this, and reprimanded Wang Peizhong at home for a long time yesterday, and asked Wenxitang Zhou to come up with countermeasures as soon as possible, and must not lose to Ruyiju.

The carriage turns left at the intersection of Hengjie and Nanchang Street and heads towards the east gate of Nanshi. "Little lady, look, Da Langjun, they are under the lantern wheel." Ju Xiang pointed to the light wheel that was getting closer and closer, and shouted excitedly to Wang Fei.

Wang Fei leaned out slightly and found Wang Jue's figure through the gap in the curtain of the car. The two people, one tall and one short, who followed closely behind Wang Jue, did not need to ask, they must be Zhang Dejia, the righteous son of Zhang Jianjun, and Gao Xiangui, the little Langjun of the Gao Changshi family.

Seeing his half-brother, Wang Fei's mood became a little complicated.

The Wuwei Zhang family is also a famous family in Liangzhou, Longyou, but compared with the top families such as the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hedong Pei family, the influence is still too small. This determined that his aunt was pressed by Mrs. Pei in all aspects.

Fortunately, she was born as a daughter, and Mrs. Pei alleviated her hostility towards A-Niang. Later, Mrs. Cui and Brother Fei appeared out of thin air, and Mrs. Pei had a lot of intentions to win over A-Niang, trying to join forces and fight against Mrs. Cui together.

For the grievances and disputes in these inner houses, Wang Fei is very disgusted. Everyone in the world envies the wealthy, but they don't know that the wealthy are as deep as the sea!

Wang Fei sometimes thinks that if he was born in a farmhouse, maybe he would be more comfortable and comfortable.

In private, Wang Fei and Ashina Xiaoyun talked about the bitterness in their hearts. Ashina Xiaoyun, who was born as the eldest daughter, is very close to herself, but she can't empathize with this kind of worry, so she can only comfort and comfort her.

In all fairness, my father is still very fond of me, a good education, a comfortable environment, and a relaxed space, it can be said that Ashina Xiaoyun can have as a concubine, and she has or can have it, but sometimes she is not as direct as Xiaoyun.

For example, like a mount, Ashina's deputy protector spent a lot of money to buy Bai Lian Ju for Xiaoyun, which once made countless little ladies in Tingzhou City envious.

Wang Fei was also very envious in her heart, but she didn't say it. She knew that as long as she mentioned it to her father, her wish would definitely be fulfilled, but she didn't want to cause trouble to his father.

What I didn't expect was that after my father came back from his expedition to Broken Leaves, he actually brought himself a young horse that had been tamed with blue and white, although it was not as good as Brother Fei's little red horse, but at a glance he knew that it was a rare good horse.

It's just that Wang Fei is not as heroic as Ashina Xiaoyun, and when he needs to take a car, Wang Fei will never insist on riding his own green jade skull.

Her father's favor made Wang Fei feel very comfortable, but Mrs. Pei was always like a dark cloud covering the back house, which made people feel unkind and uncomfortable.

Mrs. Pei is arrogant by nature, and although she is polite to A-Niang, she is not affectionate. doesn't care about himself, and will only use moral articles like "Women's Rules" to restrain his every move, which makes Wang Fei, who has a steady temperament, a little irritable.

And Wang Jue, as the eldest son, has the high hopes of the Taiyuan Wang family and the Hedong Pei family, so he is naturally the darling of the stars and the moon. Mrs. Pei doted on him even more, she was really afraid of holding it in her hand, and she was afraid of melting in her mouth.

Not to mention anything else, as far as the personal maid is concerned, Wang Fei is Ju Xiang by his side, Wang Fei is Mei Xiang by his side, and both of them have only one big girl. And Wang Qi has arranged for two big girls, Lanxiang and Hexiang, to serve since he was born.

Because Wang Jue is six years older than himself, the intersection of the two living together is not particularly much. Now that Wang Ju has moved to live in the outer house, Wang Fei has fewer opportunities to see his brother.

Wang Fei's impression of Wang Jue is always a little vague, I only remember that when I was a child, I followed my brother and wanted to go out to play together, but he always jumped quickly to Guoxia and went to play with Gao Xiangui and other friends under the protection of a group of domestic servants, ignoring himself crying in the back.

When Wang Fei went to Ah Niang to complain, Ah Niang was silent for a moment and then sighed faintly: "This is the case with the wealthy family, since you were born here, you have light clothes and fat every day, and some things can't be extravagant......"

"Little lady, we're almost there! The lantern wheel and the lantern tower are so beautiful!! Ju Xiang's excited screams interrupted Wang Fei's memories.

Wang Fei and his entourage are freshly dressed and angry, and the servants are noisy, and they are also particularly eye-catching on the lively streets. Wang Jue and the others also saw the carriages and horses of Wang Fei and his entourage, and had already sent Wenxitang's servants to greet them.

Looking at the gorgeously dressed servants of Wenxitang, Ayi Tenggena, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Little lady, why haven't you seen the shops of the Taiyuan Wang family in Tingzhou City?" ”

Wang Fei's heart moved, and he stared at Ayi Tenggena for a moment before he replied carefully: "Yiyue was born in Broken Leaves, and I don't think I've ever been to Tingzhou, let alone Chang'an and Shandong, so I may lack understanding of the Tang family. The fame of the Taiyuan Wang family stems from its cultivation and heirlooms, rather than its business operations; Wuwei Zhang's family has a slight reputation in Liangzhou, mostly because of the military to serve the country; The Pei family in Hedong attaches equal importance to government and business, and is good at food. In fact, the Taiyuan Wang family and the Wuwei Zhang family also have their own caravans to and from Tingzhou, but the scale is small, so they have never set up shops, but there is a demand, and most of them cooperate with Wenxitang. ”

Wang Fei stared at Ayi Tenggena, who seemed to understand whether she understood or not, and sighed secretly in her heart: "I didn't expect her to be so astute, she actually saw something abnormal." But with her experience, she shouldn't imagine the heavy blow to the Taiyuan Wang family after the two queens were deposed! The current Wang family is like a frightened bird, how dare it be too public! ”

In fact, these thoughts are not something that Wang Fei can guess, but she occasionally listens to A-Niang's self-talk and gains half-understood insight.

"Scarlet, get out of the carriage! Wenxia, hurry up! Ji Ang, take your horse away! Outside the carriage came the shouting of Ashina's crisp victory.

Ju Xiang and Mei Xiang hurriedly got out of the carriage first, and then waited at the door of the carriage. Wang Yong and Li Dingbang had already led a group of tooth soldiers to dismount and disperse, forming a circular protective circle.

When Wang Fei put on his hat and helped Ju Xiang's men get out of the car, he heard Ashina Wenxia muttering badly behind him: "Don't dare to shout at Wang Fei." ”

Wang Fei smiled when he heard this, and couldn't help laughing at Ashina Wenxia's obsession.

Ashina Wenxia's fragmented thoughts full of "evil atmosphere" slowed down Wang Fei's movements when she got off the carriage, and when she got out of the carriage, Wang Qi had already come to greet everyone.

Wang Fei carefully observed Wang Jue, who had not been seen for a long time, for a while, and found that in fact, the outline of his face resembled his father, especially the face with clear lines, which looked like a copy of his father from a distance.

At this moment, Wang Fei felt a cordial feeling in his heart, no matter what, this person is his elder brother and has a close blood bond with him.

When Wang Fei's heart was slightly flustered, he suddenly saw Wang Fei greet him with a slight smile, this smile made the emotion in Wang Fei's heart disappear in an instant, because this smile is too familiar with Wang Fei, and it is exactly the same as Mrs. Pei's disgusting demeanor!

"I've seen Sister Xiaoyun! I haven't seen her for a few days, and my sister looks better than ever! Wang Jue thought that he bent down to Ashina Xiaoyun and made a gesture.

Wang Fei stood beside Ashina Xiaoyun, looked at Wang Jue's burning eyes, and suddenly felt something, turned his head to glance, and found that Wang Fei was standing a little farther away, staring at Wang Jue's every move.

And Gao Xiangui, who was short and fat behind Wang Qi, was even more nervous and peeked up and down at the heroic Ashina Xiaoyun with his eyes.

Zhang Dejia, another of Wang Jue's friends, was far behind, and he had no intention of going up to greet Ashina.

Ashina Xiaoyun didn't seem to notice the enthusiasm in Wang Jue's eyes, and simply replied with a bow, and replied: "Brother Lao is worried!" Then he took the initiative to bow to Gao Xiangui, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Gao Langjun for a long time, and his posture is still burly!" ”

Gao Xiangui originally wanted to learn from Wang Qi to come forward and greet Ashina Xiaoyun, but was blocked by Ashina Xiaoyun's banter, so he had to leave in a sneer.

A mischievous smile bloomed on Ashina's bright and spring-like face, and then grabbed Wang Fei's hand and said: "This is your own brother, it is common every day, don't worship here, follow me to watch the lanterns!" ”

Wang Fei's strength was not as good as Ashina's Xiaoyun, and she was dragged away before she had time to greet Wang Qi, so she had to nod at Wang Qi from afar, which was regarded as a "chief" salute. Ju Xiang hurriedly followed and served Wang Fei.

With a smile on his face, Wang Jue waved slightly towards his sister, and then walked in front of Ashina Wenxia and Ashina Jiang, and arched his hand with a smile: "I've seen two younger brothers and sisters!" ”

Ashina Wenxia's eyes were empty, but she bowed slightly, said "I've seen Brother", and was silent.
