The next day, Xiaocui's father and mother did not appear, and even the people sent by Wang Xiang did not find out when they disappeared, as for the Zhang family in their mouths, it turned out that because the only son in the family was seriously ill and could not be cured for a long time, he was about to be unable to hold on, so he listened to other people's words and wanted to marry a woman.

When Wang Xiang sent someone over to inquire about the investigation, Zhang Yuanwai was stunned on the spot, if he knew that Xiaocui had something to do with Wang Xiang and killed him, he wouldn't dare to think about taking Xiaocui to his son Chongxi, and that dog master, who turned out to be a wanted criminal by the government, didn't dare to hide it at all, and honestly confessed everything he knew.

He really didn't know Ergou's identity, but he saw that Ergou and his men were very strong, so he accepted them as guards in the mansion, but he hadn't seen them since he sent them to Chang'an City to catch Xiao Cui, who had escaped from marriage.

For Zhang Yuanwai's kind of bullying and oppression, there are too many things in the feudal society, Wang Xiang can't manage them all, he wanted to punish them severely, who knew that it happened that their only son died of illness, Zhang Yuanwai was grief-stricken when he lost his son in old age, Wang Xiang was soft-hearted for a while, and Xiaocui didn't suffer any substantial harm so he let them go.

As for the identity of Xiaocui's parents, Zhang Yuanwai said that he didn't know very well, normally both parties would understand each other's identities when they got married, but the Zhang family just wanted to find a woman to be happy this time, and when they heard that someone was willing to marry their daughter, they were naturally overjoyed.

However, from the sudden escape of the two of them, Wang Xiang was already sure that they were not Xiao Cui's parents at all, otherwise they would not have fled after learning that they had sent someone to investigate them.

This incident had a great impact on Xiaocui, and she originally thought that she had found her father. As a result, I didn't have time to be happy, and my father and mother forced themselves to marry a person who was about to die of illness. In the end, I found out that the father and mother I found were not my father. They didn't know how to comfort her.

In the past few days, Chang'an City is full of lanterns, after the New Year, everyone is preparing for the celebration of the Lantern Festival, every household is hanging red lanterns at the door, such a scene can not be seen in later generations, not only like the lively little Lori and Ju Yiya are very excited, Wang Xiang is also very interested, guessing lantern riddles This kind of activity he has not seen in the book, but he has not experienced it personally.

Accompanied Xiao Lori and Ju Yiya to visit several light market fairs. I saw a lot of lanterns, but I didn't see a single lantern riddle, and the lanterns were not the fancy lanterns he imagined, they were all decent red lanterns, although they were festive but had a lot less fun.

Xiao Lori and Ju Yiya were playing with great interest, but Wang Xiang felt a little interested.

Sensing Wang Xiang's strange appearance, Xiao Lori pulled his arm and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I thought the lantern festival would be so fun, but it didn't mean much." Wang Xiang said boredly.

"That's because it's not yet the Lantern Festival, and it's even more lively when the Lantern Festival arrives."

Seeing little Lori's face excited. Wang Xiang opened his mouth and asked, "There are lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival?" ”

"Lantern riddles?" Little Lori was stunned for a moment and said uncertainly: "There will be some lantern fairs, right......"

Although the lantern riddle originated very early, it really arose after the Middle and Tang Dynasty. Now it has only been eleven years of Zhenguan, and only the Lantern Festival organized by some literati will have lantern riddle activities, and the lanterns with various patterns that Wang Xiang thinks of appear in the lantern festivals organized by some noble ladies.

In Xiao Lori's opinion, it was already very fun to have a juggling show at the lantern festival, and when she heard Wang Xiang say so many more interesting things, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, why don't we hold a lantern festival this year!" ”

"Lantern Festival?" Wang Xiang hadn't thought about it.

The more Xiao Lori thought about it, the happier she became, and said excitedly: "Yes, every year during the Lantern Festival, there will be a lot of people holding a lantern festival, my brother-in-law is both a Hou Ye and a famous talent in Chang'an, if the lantern festival is held, there will definitely be many people to participate, and the lantern riddles and lanterns that my brother-in-law said, it must be very lively at that time." ”

After Xiao Lori said that Wang Xiang was also a little moved, he said: "Let me think about this matter." ”

"Oh, what else are you thinking about, my brother-in-law's lantern festival must be very fun!" Little Lori took Wang Xiang's arm and sprinkled coquettishly.

Wang Xiang shook his head helplessly and said, "Then let me think about where to hold the lantern festival and how to do it......

Hearing the news that Wang Xiang was going to hold a lantern festival, Li Zhi, Cheng Chuliang, and Li Huiming and others all came, and Li Zhi's two little overlord brothers, Li Zhen and Li Shen, also came over to join in the fun, and Wang Xiang couldn't do it at this time.

It didn't take long for even Li Chengqian to come.

"Zixin is going to hold a lantern festival?"

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't care about the salutes of others, Li Chengqian pulled Wang Xiang and asked him what he was most concerned about.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows......"

Wang Xiang smiled bitterly, glanced at the little Lori next to him who shook his head and was triumphant, the news of the Lantern Festival was spread by Xiao Lori.

"Actually, I just want to hold a random lantern festival and be lively." Wang Xiang said a little embarrassed.

Li Chengqian said with a straight face when he heard this: "Then how can it be done!" How can it be casual! ”

Yes? Wang Xiang looked at Li Chengqian suspiciously, he just wanted to hold a lantern festival, and it seemed to be a very important thing to play around.

In fact, the annual Lantern Festival will also be held in the Prince's Mansion, not only the Prince's Mansion, but also the Wei Palace's Mansion and the Wu Palace's Lantern Festival, compared with Li Tai and Li Ke, Li Chengqian's talent is indeed much inferior, and the annual Lantern Festival will be pressed by the two of them, which makes Li Chengqian, who is the prince, feel very aggrieved, so as soon as he heard that Wang Xiang was going to hold a lantern festival, he immediately came to inquire in person.

As soon as he heard Wang Xiang say what to do, he immediately said seriously: "You are the long history of the Prince's Mansion, and your Lantern Festival is related to the face of the Prince's Mansion, how can you be casual!" ”

What? I'm just holding a lantern festival to play, why did I get on the face of the prince's mansion? Wang Xiang was puzzled for a while when he heard this, and when he saw Li Zhi's little ghost looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, he suddenly reacted, Li Chengqian, this guy wants to let himself support him......

"That...... I really just want to have a lantern festival to play, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is afraid of affecting the face of the Prince's Mansion, then I won't do it. ”

"No way!" Li Chengqian also felt that he was too excited, and said with a dry cough: "The whole Chang'an already knows about the Lantern Festival on behalf of the Prince's Mansion, don't you think that the Prince's Mansion will go back on its word if you don't do it now, and the Prince's Mansion will have any prestige in the future." ”

The whole of Chang'an knows that I want to hold a lantern festival on behalf of the Prince's Mansion? Wang Xiang glanced at Little Lori suspiciously.

"I only said that my brother-in-law was going to hold a lantern festival, but I didn't say that my brother-in-law was going to hold a lantern festival on behalf of the prince's mansion." Little Lori won't carry the black pot for others, and neither can the prince.

Little Lori's words Wang Xiang still believes it, so spread the news so indiscriminately......

Seeing Wang Xiang raising his eyebrows and looking at himself, Li Chengqian's face did not change and coughed lightly: "Cough, it doesn't matter who said it, the important thing is that this news has now spread all over the city, and on behalf of the prince's mansion, the lantern festival can be held bigger and more lively, and it will definitely be more fun at that time." ”

Bigger, more lively, and more fun, little Lori was instantly convinced.

"Brother-in-law, let's hold a lantern festival on behalf of the Prince's Mansion!"
