Chapter 082: Shangyuan Lantern Festival

"What? Do you want to keep me? Li Ruobing stood under the lintel, glanced at the audience with cold eyes, and turned around and said slowly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"What are you...... Lawlessness! Tian Ergeng was frightened by his eyes, but he also held back such a sentence.

"Lawlessness?" Li Ruobing laughed coldly and said, "When Liu Chao killed Wang An that day, why didn't you say this?" ”

Tian Ergeng and the others looked at Li Ruobing with an angry expression, but no one dared to step forward.

Li Ruobing raised his voice and said: "Listen to the old man, if anyone dares to frame Wang Wenyan again, don't blame me for killing them all." At this point, he simply made it clear that otherwise, he couldn't deter these cool court officials.

Under the gaze of the Jinyi guard, the three of them walked away. Sun Yueling was also very relieved, fortunately he didn't meet Qi Liao, otherwise he really didn't know how to face this current scene.

Not far from the gate of Beizhen Fusi, but I saw more than a dozen people rushing over, and the first one came to Li Ruobing to salute and said: "Elder Li, you came to Beizhen Fusi, why don't you inform the brothers?" Seeing that they were fine, Deng felt at ease for a while, and saluted Wang Wenyan again, and was overjoyed to see that he was fine.

Li Ruobing laughed and said, "Some small things, you don't need your brothers to come together." Pointing to Sun Yueling, he said, "He will be our brother in the future, his name is Sun Yueling." He pointed to the two people in front of him and said to Sun Yueling: "These two are Liu Zixiao, the hall master of the East Hall of our Care Hall, and Huang Tianlai, the hall master of the North Hall. ”

Sun Yueling hurriedly bowed to the two.

Wang Wenyan stroked his palms and smiled: "The person who is carried by the old man must be extraordinary, it seems that we have added another strong support to the care hall." ”

Sun Yueling was embarrassed for a while, and when he didn't know how to speak, Liu Zixiao, the master of the East Hall, suddenly said: "This Brother Sun is so familiar, as if he has seen it there." After thinking for a while, he finally remembered and said, "Aren't you the one who read the door outside the door of my care hall that day?" ”

Sun Yueling was even more ashamed, and sobbed: "That day...... That **** drunk. ”

Liu Zixiao obviously refused to give up, and said loudly: "I remember that day, you seemed to call yourself the commander of the Dongjiang Army - Qi Jiguang!" ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone burst into laughter.

Laughing so much that on this snow-covered and bone-chilling long street, pedestrians and traders looked back, frightened by this group of swords, dressed in strong clothes, why they were making a loud noise in the city of Beijing and on the long street, wandering in this snowy and unclear sky.

The first year of the Apocalypse finally came to an end under the turbulent situation, and the various forces of the Beijing Division were temporarily calmed down after some competition.

After Wei Zhongxian and others tentatively launched an attack on the Donglin Party, although they killed Wang An, and then expelled Zhou Jiamo, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Liu Yixi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who asked Wang An to play, but finally under the intervention of Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, realized the strength of the Donglin Party, and turned to woo and persuade the Donglin Party, hoping to assist the government together.

Within a year after that, the forces of the Jingshi Donglin Party, the Qichu Zhejiang Party, the Inner Palace, and the Imperial Court reached an ingenious balance.

But this balance will be broken in the third year of the Apocalypse by Zhao Nanxing, one of the three elders of the Donglin Party.

At this time, the incense smelling society, which had lost the support of the temple, was secretly accepting the nobles and mobilizing manpower, in an attempt to give the Ming Dynasty a heavy blow on the occasion of the Shangyuan Festival in the second year of the Apocalypse.

……

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the first month.

After half a year of hard work, Sun Yueling finally spent a peaceful and lively New Year in the care hall.

Within ten days of the first month, he either gathered and chatted with everyone in the care hall, or returned to Uncle Ting's old Shujin store and the guys in the mountain city to eat and make trouble, and his life was never easier.

Uncle Ting was even happier when he knew that he had joined the Caring Hall, and expressed his strong approval, after all, he was also a native of the mountain city, and his relationship with the Caring Hall was even more conducive to the many operations of the old store.

Li Ruobing did not let him be sent to the outside hall, but let him stay in the main hall of the care hall.

During this period of time in the Caring Hall, Sun Yueling also learned about some of the main situations of the Caring Hall.

It seems that this concern hall is not only a political organization, but also an economic operation. In the entire Xicheng of Beijing, almost all of them are within the business scope of the Concern Hall, including bookstores, wood yards, silk villages, etc., and the antique market in the area of the Chenghuang Temple in Jinchengfangdu in the west of the city is basically controlled by the Concern Hall.

At the same time, he also knew that in addition to the main hall in Shijuma Street, the Caring Hall also set up three halls in the north, east and south according to the layout of Beijing City, which were three outer branches. The three branch masters of the outer hall, in addition to Qin Feng, who died in Nanhaizi, the other two are Liu Zixiao, the master of the East Hall, and Fang Yichen, the master of the South Hall.

Liu Zixiao, the owner of the East Hall, has also been in contact with a lot these days, and he feels that he is not a very easy person to get along with, and he is always hot and cold and elusive; And Fang Yichen, the master of Nantang Hall, was the middle-aged Confucian who he and Qi Liao had seen with the "traitor" Sun Degong in the yamen of Ningyuan City that day, and at this moment, he was being given the task of serving outside the Guan.

Thinking of the assassination of Sun Degong that day, Sun Yueling was annoyed for a while, if it wasn't for this Fang Yichen to stop him that day, he would have been done. That Fang Yichen seemed to be very powerful, and within a few swords, he couldn't parry, from what he saw all the way, at least Yuan Hongdao and Gru Daoqi were not necessarily his opponents.

Later, he learned from his cousin that Fang Yichen was the second most powerful master in the entire Caring Hall whose martial arts were no less than Li Ruobing, and a set of ranger swordsmanship in his hand was even more arrogant than the Beijing master, and there were few matches.

He was relieved in his heart, thinking that Fang Yichen was so powerful, it was really a loss to Qi Liao to escape from him, otherwise he might have been taken down and punished a long time ago.

Although Sun Yueling was also comfortable in the care hall, there was one thing that made him feel depressed: the brothers in the hall knew that he was Li Ruobing's hand, and they were all polite and respectful to him, but there was one person who always pointed fingers at him, asked him to do this and that, and treated him as a subordinate, which made him have a big headache.

And he had no way to deal with the person who commanded him with his halberd.

Because, this person is the daughter of Li Ruobing, the head of the hall, who cares about it.

Li Liemei, people are like their names, fierce as the sun, and glamorous as early plums.

This enthusiastic and lively eldest lady just ordered him to go to the orchard in the south of Beijing to pick fresh frozen pears and winter dates a few days ago, and today he ordered him to accompany her to the Dengshi Street in the east of the city to see the lanterns.

Although he was helpless, he also had to be a hero to accompany the United States.

At this time, it is still the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, and tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, so the Dengshi Street in the east of the city is still very lively, and the crowd is one after another.

Sun Yueling, a cousin brother, and a maid followed behind Li Liemei and walked slowly.

The four of them crossed the chessboard street in front of Zhengyangmen, turned into Shiwangfu Street, and went to Dengshi Street.

The cousin, like him, was also depressed, and obviously extremely reluctant to be forced to go shopping. Only the maid and Li Liemei were very happy, pointing and laughing along the way.

"Damn, you need so many people to accompany you when you go shopping." Sun Yueling cursed secretly in his heart, but he smiled at Li Liemei on his face, and said, "Oh, miss, there are so many people on the street, it's so lively!" ”

Li Liemei glanced at him and said, "Of course, the Lantern Festival is coming, and the Lantern Market is even more lively and fun, you guys go quickly!" ”

Sun Yueling hurriedly trotted a few steps, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Miss, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that there was such a fun place in Jingshi." He sighed in his heart, he was so smiling, it was really a broken heart.

A few people stopped walking, talking and laughing, and had come to Dengshi Street.

At this time, twilight is approaching, and the whole street is extremely lively, and the crowd is endless, rubbing shoulders.

Since the Sangwon Festival Lantern Festival is a famous festival in Gyeongshi, not only merchants from Gyeonggi and Suncheonfu gather here, but also skilled craftsmen from the southern provinces have rushed to sell all kinds of lanterns on the street, forming a noisy and lively and incomparably brilliant picture.

I saw that under the night, the street was brightly lit, and all kinds of colored lights were inlaid in the middle, which was brilliant and dazzling.

After Sun Yueling saw this situation, he was also surprised, and his heart was swept away with unhappiness, he didn't expect that the Beijing Lantern Festival would be so impressive, and the scenery was considerable.

Li Liemei and the maid Xiaoyun were even more excited and happy.

I saw that on the street, there are all kinds of colored lanterns hanging all the way, there are various categories such as palace lanterns, flower lanterns, carrying lanterns, glass lanterns, etc., as well as colored lanterns made according to animals, people, flowers, melons and fruits, and there are more than ten zhang high and three zhang wide lanterns made of wooden frames, which are dazzling and magnificent.

"Come and guess the lantern riddle." Li Liemei suddenly found that there was a group of people in front of her, guessing lantern riddles, so she shouted and ran over to join in the fun.

Sun Yueling and they also surrounded them, only to see a group of lantern sellers from Sichuan in front of the stall, hanging all kinds of lanterns, porcelain lamps made of porcelain, bamboo woven lamps made of bamboo strips, etc., there are also silk lanterns made of silk, and on many lamps and lanterns are pasted with small notes, on which some small riddles are written, if you guess correctly, you can take the lamps away for free.

Li Liemei stood in front of a phoenix bamboo lantern, lingering, and after looking at the lantern riddles on it for a long time, she was still puzzled, and shouted: "You all come over and have a look." ”

Sun Yueling couldn't, so he had to squeeze over to take a look, only to see that the paper of the lamp was full of small characters, and he couldn't see it clearly, so he had to ask Li Liemei: "What is written on it?" ”

Li Liemei read: "When the girls in the hall are on their backs, the spring is the most appropriate. If the gossamer is broken and weak, don't ask the west wind to say goodbye. ”

Sun Yueling smiled dumbly, such a simple thing can't be guessed, don't women in the Ming Dynasty usually need to study?

He smiled at the moment: "The answer to this riddle is the simplest, which is the kite." ”

As soon as this remark fell, the lantern seller in Sichuan was taken aback, but he was able to guess the riddle. But in front of everyone, he couldn't believe what he said, so he had to give this bamboo lamp to Li Liemei.

After Li Liemei got the bamboo lamp, she was very happy, and said to Sun Yueling: "I heard my father say that you were a famous talent in the south of the Yangtze River, and you are really smart. ”

Sun Yueling smiled faintly, thinking that Lao Tzu came through it, and if he couldn't even guess a riddle, then he didn't have to mix it up. It's a pity that my brother doesn't bother to use the knowledge of later generations to please everyone in the dynasty, otherwise he would have been crowned an official and made a wish.

Thinking wildly in his heart, he turned around and suddenly saw a woman slowly descending from a gorgeous carriage in front of him.

He couldn't help but shake his body.

The woman's face was covered with a light veil, covering her face, and she was walking into an alley on the side, her back graceful and exquisite.

Maybe others can't see who this is, but when he saw it, he was shocked that this woman was clearly the top Oiran Mu Wan who had been in love with him.

I can't imagine that when I enter the light market at night, I will actually see her?
