The customs of the New Year are of great significance to the entire Central Plains cultural circle. Even in difficult times, people try to make themselves as happy as possible during the Chinese New Year.

And for the people of the Tang Dynasty in the first year of Zhenguan, this year is really happy. With a change of emperor, life is better. It's just that I pity His Royal Highness the King of Chu, in order to make everyone's life better, he went to the heavenly court to steal the paper-making immortal technique, and was injured by the divine prohibition of heaven. The poor mortal people have nothing to do, so they have to go to the Taoist temple to help His Highness burn a few pillars of incense and say a few more good words to God, so that His Highness's sins will be lighter......

And Li Kuan, who was hiding in the Wanshou Hall by recuperating from his injuries, was originally just patient, but later found that in the past few days, wisps of merit were pouring into him from all directions. Although all the merit qi does not add up much, the meaning of this is very different. This shows that the path of merit has officially begun!

I didn't expect that my divine stroke would have such benefits. Li Kuan was very happy and felt that the New Year was really good.

As a result, the entire Chang'an City was filled with the joy of the New Year, but Li Kuan himself quietly hid in the Wanshou Hall to study those meritorious qi. It's a pity that all the golden mana added up is less than one-ten-thousandth of his own mana. I tried it many times, but I couldn't determine if it was a psychological illusion or if it was really different.

The so-called practice has no sun and moon, immersed in the study of mana, time flies. In the blink of an eye, it is half a month. The New Year has also come to the last celebratory festival, the Lantern Festival.

When Li Kuan was once again accustomed to meditating and practicing at night, he was stunned to find that it was already midnight, and there was still a commotion outside the imperial city. It's a little strange, and I called Wan Caihong to come over and ask.

"Your Royal Highness, this year's change of yuan, the whole world celebrates. In the three days before and after the Lantern Festival, when the Holy Decree specially allowed the lanterns to be placed, Jin Wu couldn't help it. ”

"Jin Wu can't help it? Is there no curfew and you can play all night? ”

"Yes, Your Highness, I heard that people in the city put lanterns on the streets to make everyone lively. Those big households and merchants wrote lantern riddles on the lanterns, and if they guessed correctly, they could pick up the lanterns and take them back......"

Looking at her excited little appearance, Li Kuan smiled and said, "Do you want to go out to play too?" ”

Wan Caihong shook her head: "I still don't want it!" Slaves and maids still have to wait for His Highness......"

Li Kuan hehe Zhile: "I still want you to wait?" Okay, it just so happens that I also want to see the lanterns of the Tang Dynasty, so I called Brother Seventh and let's go out for a walk together. ”

Although Wan Caihong was also worried about Li Kuan's injury, after all, she was with him day and night, and she knew very well that his injury had long been fine, and she was just trying to hide from Qingjing. And after all, the little girl has never visited the Chang'an Lamp Market, and she has some expectations in her heart.

called out the eldest grandson, and brought a few palace maid guards, swaggering all the way. Of course, the guards guarding the palace gate did not dare to stop them, so they quietly opened the door and let them out, and called a team of guards to watch behind, and at the same time reported the news to the emperor and the emperor. The two bigwigs expressed their joy at this, and at the same time told them not to let irrelevant people spoil King Yaxing of Chu.

Although it is celebrated by the whole world, the gap between the poor and the poor before this year was quite large. The poor also celebrate, but there are limits. Those who can toss until midnight and still wander the streets, the family is somewhat confident.

As soon as you leave the palace gate, there are brilliant lights in front of you, and Suzaku Avenue is illuminated by all kinds of lanterns hanging on both sides. Forty meters wide, the streets are full of excited men and women, young and old. Ignoring the characteristics of those times, this kind of scene is no different from later generations.

"Wow! It's so beautiful, it's all brighter than the day...... "The palace maid Xue Bottle is only twelve years old, it is a gift from Feng Ang of Guangzhou to the emperor, and she is fortunate to be assigned to the Hall of Longevity, and she is even luckier to be assigned to serve the King of Chu. The little girl has been very happy for half a month, and Wan Caihong is as good as a sister, as soon as she saw this situation, she forgot about the identity gap and blurted out.

Even Wan Caihong and Changsun Jing were full of excitement. Li Kuan smiled and said nothing, I have never seen mortals in the world, it is poverty that limits your imagination. You don't know anything about real prosperity!

Walking along the street, he found a store that sold sugar gourds, which made Li Kuan really a little surprised. In my impression, this thing should have only appeared in the Song Dynasty...... Well, it's fun for the store to brag about this bull, get it!

"Nobleman, our family's craftsmanship came from the palace. I heard that Aunt Rainbow learned it from the fairy Chang'e in the Moon Palace, and even His Royal Highness the King of Chu likes to eat it! ”

Li Kuan saw that the people around him were all red, and he didn't ask him the price, so he took one at random and looked at it carefully under the lamp.

"The syrup wrap is too thick, and the hawthorn fruit has not been seeded...... "I took a bite, shook my head and sighed: "You are not honest in this store!" ”

The shopkeeper was anxious and wanted to argue, but the boss hurriedly came out to play a round: "Forgive me, noble!" Children don't know things, but the nobles point out. It's just that the nobles don't know this market, these days, everyone is still rare that sweet, the sugar is too thin, but people want to scold the shop for cheating. Although the small shop is ugly, it doesn't dare to ruin Aunt Rainbow's name......"

"Huh? So, does your little shop really have something to do with the palace? ”

"That is, the owner of the disdain is an authentic Yizhou Wan clan's disciple. Although it is a side branch, that layer of family affection is real......"

Li Kuandale: "You give me these strings of sugar gourds, and I will give you a benefit, how about it?" ”

The boss did not hesitate: "This is the prosperity of the small shop!" The little old man wishes the prince a blessed life, and the days are sweeter than the sugar gourd in the small shop! ”

"Promise your good words!" Li Kuan laughed, instructed the guards to distribute those sugar gourds to everyone, and pointed to the rainbow: "Everyone calls you aunt, but you don't have any real skills?" ”

The boss was excited, and he couldn't say anything, and he didn't dare to look at people with his hands arched in the air: "Little old man doesn't know what ...... is"

"Alright, alright! Low profile! Low profile! Li Kuan stopped him, but he was provoked by his evil taste and laughed: "In the future, you can say openly that your sugar gourd, the king of Chu has tasted it and said it is good!" ”

can set up a night market on Suzaku Street, how can he not have any eyesight, the young man was so frightened that he almost collapsed. Wan Caihong glanced at Li Kuan angrily, and whispered a few production points to the boss. The old man's eyes lit up when he listened, and he called Aunt Rainbow without a mouth.

Li Kuan saw that the little palace maids were still unsatisfied, so he handed over the string in his hand. At this moment, a muffled snort suddenly sounded not far ahead, and Li Kuan only felt that the hairs on his body stood up. This sound is all too familiar, it is the reaction of a person before suddenly being hit and losing consciousness!

The divine sense was released in an instant, and in a moment the source of the sound was found. Seeing that scene, the anger in Li Kuan's chest swelled.
