On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Shangyuan Festival!

Early in the morning, the sky was filled with petal-sized snowflakes.

After a while, the goose feather snow flew down, and a layer of snow gradually fell on the ground.

Today is the annual Shangyuan Festival, and the people come out to go shopping, and the streets are crowded with people, and the noise is soaring into the sky.

The juggling of dragon and lion dances was in full swing.

The snowflakes in the sky can't extinguish the people's love for the Shangyuan Festival.

Yang Xiaoyu was dressed in a unicorn suit, and guarded within a radius of five miles from the lamp market with the four thousand households under his command, standing on the city wall of the noon gate, looking around, only to see snowflakes fluttering, and the people could not see the end at a glance.

His ears were filled with the sound of joyful drums, juggling, cheers, and shouts......

On the noon gate, many small officials in ceremonial clothes were cleaning the snow in the city, and a maid was constantly wiping the tables and chairs.

"My lord, the east and west streets are ready!" Zhou Heguang boarded the city gate and came to report.

Yang Xiaoyu looked at the lively street below, and said with a smile: "The emperor and hundreds of officials will only come to watch the lanterns in the afternoon, you ask the people of the Ministry of Rites to prepare the whip, and when the holy car arrives at the city gate, immediately set off fireworks and whips to congratulate the emperor." ”

"My subordinates have already told them!"

Zhou Heguang shook the snowflakes on his body, and asked with a cold air: "My lord, the sky is so cold, will the emperor come?" ”

Yang Xiaoyu pointed to the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division on the street and said with a smile: "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are all here to maintain order, do you think the emperor can not come?" ”

"My lord, our Beizhen Fusi is also a brocade pro-army, why are they patrolling the city and guarding the brocade clothes below. Our people are all on the periphery, isn't this robbing us of our credit? Zhou Heguang muttered dissatisfiedly.

Yang Xiaoyu smiled, pointed to the cavalry under the city and said: "Our people are outside, although they can't make merit, they won't be punished, they will protect the emperor at close range." If it is not good to protect the emperor, the crime is not small! ”

"My lord means that someone will be unfavorable to the emperor!" Zhou Heguang asked tentatively.

Yang Xiaoyu shook his head and sighed: "The smoke is everywhere, the remaining bandits in Shandong and other places are rampant, and the bandits in the Central Plains are rampant. This time is different, the emperor went out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns, and the people celebrated, this matter has already been rumored, many people with bad intentions are waiting for the opportunity to snoop, in short, everything is careful! ”

"Subordinates understood!" Zhou Heguang nodded slightly.

"The order goes down, once something happens at noon. The horsemen on the east and west sides immediately blocked the street entrance, and the plainclothes horsemen were secretly waiting for an opportunity to arrest suspicious people! ”

"My subordinates are going to give orders!"

After Zhou Heguang left. The master of ceremonies of the Ministry of Rites came to hand over affairs with Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu has already helped the emperor prepare for the Lantern Festival, and the rest of the things are all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and they have nothing to do with him.

After handing over the affairs, Yang Xiaoyu took a hundred households to ride down the city gate and returned to the house.

Shen Mengxin was born in Jiangnan since she was a child and has never seen a lantern. Yang Xiaoyu thought about taking her out for a spin, but at night, he didn't have time to accompany Shen Mengxin shopping.

Back to Fuchu.

Shen Mengxin made the dumplings with his own hands, he took a few bites, and then ordered someone to prepare the carriage.

Today's Shen Mengxin is wearing a long white dress. The face is slightly powdered, the hairpin is high, the shoulders are draped with yellow and white, and the slender and slender body is slim and elegant, with a little less of the softness of a Jiangnan woman and a little more arrogance of a northern beauty.

Thinking of the lanterns he received from the Shen family from Jiangnan some time ago, Yang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly.

The lanterns were sent before the Shangyuan Festival, which was urging them to give birth to a child quickly, at the age of eighteen, can they really be fathers? This question has been bothering him!

However, it is not surprising to be a father at the age of fourteen in this era!

Yang Xiaoyu smiled, no longer thinking about this headache for him, turned to Shen Mengxin and smiled: "Let's go, today is the Shangyuan Festival, the capital is very lively, it's a pity not to see it!" ”

"Won't you bring your friends with you?" Shen Mengxin asked softly.

Friend?

Yang Xiaoyu didn't react for a while, and asked, "Where is the friend?" ”

"Have you forgotten? They live in the West Courtyard! Shen Mengxin replied with a chuckle.

Yang Xiaoyu was shocked in her heart, swept Shen Mengxin's face, and saw that her face was full of sincerity, without the slightest pretentiousness, so she smiled and said: "I almost forgot about them, so I sent someone to invite them for my husband!" ”

sent two maidservants to invite Ling Lu and Mingyue to go out shopping together, and Yang Xiaoyu ordered his subordinates to prepare an extra carriage.

After a while, Ling Lu, who was dressed in a pink dress, walked in lightly and saluted Yang Xiaoyu and Shen Mengxin: "The concubine has disturbed Lord Yang and Mrs. Yang!" ”

"Miss Ling is polite!" Yang Xiaoyu stood up and blinked his eyes and said with a smile.

"Listening to Miss Ling's accent, it seems that she is from Hangzhou?" Shen Mengxin asked with a smile.

"She's a friend of her husband in Hangzhou, and I've told you about this before!" Yang Xiaoyu was afraid of Ling Lu's denial, so she hurriedly replied, and then said with a smile: "Let's go, it's too late, but I won't see anything!" ”

Shen Mengxin suppressed the doubts in her heart and walked out gently with Yang Xiaoyu.

Ling Lu followed behind Yang Xiaoyu, looking at Shen Mengxin's back, and always felt that this Mrs. Shen seemed to have seen through her relationship with Yang Xiaoyu.

Out of the mansion, Chen Yingren and the guards stood on the side of the two carriages, and in front of the carriages, a group of horses waited.

Yang Xiaoyu pulled Shen Mengxin into the first carriage, and Ling Lu and Mingyue, who came out first, sat in the back car.

The carriage started slowly, and the wheels turned, and the snow rattled against it!

The goose feathers and snow falling between the green tiles and red walls, the abrupt horizontal cornices, the shop flags fluttering in the wind, the endless stream of carriages, the endless flow of people, and the smiling faces under the wind and snow all reflect the love of the people of the capital for the Shangyuan Festival.

Yang Xiaoyu stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain, pointed to the bustling crowd outside, and said with a smile: "There are so many people during the day, and when the lanterns are put at night, it is estimated that the crowd will flood the streets and alleys of the capital." ”

"The snow reflects the cornices, and the flag covers the merchant flag. The old and the young support each other, and tonight is better than the past. ”

Shen Mengxin smiled: "Husband, it's a pity not to make a poem for such a festival!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, although he was not from the imperial examination, it was not difficult for him to make a poem. Said: "Wind and rain for thousands of miles, riding a horse into Gyeonggi, fame is like floating clouds, fragrant cars and beauty frost." ”

Shen Mengxin's poems fit the scene on the street, and the underlying meaning of the last line of the poem is that the days she and Yang Xiaoyu spent together were better than the previous long years.

Yang Xiaoyu was the opposite, he ignored the scene on the street, recalled coming to the capital from Yangzhou thousands of miles away, and suddenly found it. Fame is just an emptiness, willing to ride the incense car with the beauty, the last word of his poem is not only to express the frost and snow, but also to live and fly.

The carriage walked slowly, and when it reached a bridge, Yang Xiaoyu asked the carriage to stop, he took Shen Mengxin to get out of the car, and Ling Lu and Mingyue in the back got off together.

Stepping on the bridge on the Shangyuan Festival. You can go to all kinds of diseases, and you will be healthy this year.

Yang Xiaoyu slowly walked onto the bridge with Shen Mengxin in his arms. Walking up the snow-covered steps, the snow on the stone steps seems to symbolize the old age.

"Ahh

Ling Lu walked absentmindedly, his feet slipped, his body was unstable, and he screamed out in shock.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaoyu subconsciously turned around and hurriedly grabbed Ling Lu's arm. However, the force of the downward drag was too great, and he didn't have much strength in his hands, and was carried down by Ling Lu.

The two fell to the ground close to each other, rolling down the steps to the bottom.

Luckily, the stairs are not very long, only three steps away.

Sudden encounter. The frightened Shen Mengxin's face was pale, and the frightened Mingyue couldn't bear to look at it.

Chen Yingren, who was waiting by the bridge, saw the young master fall to the ground, and was busy preparing to step forward to help him, but his own young master and Miss Ling were right, Chen Yingren hurriedly turned around and closed his eyes.

The guards were the same, and they all turned around and didn't dare to look at each other.

The people on and off the bridge pointed at Yang Xiaoyu and Ling Lu and laughed, and the laughter was full of fun.

At this time, Ling Lu pressed on Yang Xiaoyu, and her lips kissed Yang Xiaoyu's forehead like a dragonfly.

Yang Xiaoyu was pressed by the beautiful body, and only felt that a soft jade rabbit was attached to his chest, and he felt very comfortable.

Ling Lu's face flushed with shame, and she hurriedly stood up and didn't dare to look at Yang Xiaoyu.

Yang Xiaoyu reminisced about the delicious taste just now, lying on the snow with a face of enjoyment.

"Young master, it didn't hurt to fall, did you?" Chen Yingren's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly helped Yang Xiaoyu who was lying on the ground.

At this time, Shen Mengxin walked down, she was not a little angry, and asked softly, "Husband, did you fall painfully?" ”

Yang Xiaoyu shook his head, signaling that he was not in pain, Shen Mengxin smiled lightly, moved slightly behind Ling Lu, and asked softly, "Miss Ling, are you okay?" ”

"Mrs. Yang, I'm fine!" When Ling Lu heard Shen Mengxin's words, her face was shy, she turned around and lowered her head, and replied softly.

Mingyue held a sword in one hand and slapped the snowflakes on Ling Lu's clothes with the other, her expression was quite flat, and she couldn't tell what she was thinking.

In order to avoid embarrassment, Yang Xiaoyu asked Ling Lu out loud: "Did you fall into pain?" ”

When Ling Lu was ashamed of herself, when she heard Yang Xiaoyu's question, she felt even more faceless, lowered her eyebrows, and said softly: "No!" ”

"It's good if you don't, come, continue to tread the bridge!"

Yang Xiaoyu's skin was thicker than the city wall, and he didn't care about the pointing of the people around him, reached out and took Shen Mengxin's little hand, and continued to walk towards the bridge.

Mingyue in the back supported Ling Lu and followed behind Yang Xiaoyu and Shen Mengxin, this time the two of them were very careful, for fear that they would not step on it tightly and fall down again.

"One step to a hundred diseases, two steps to fortune, three steps to peach blossom luck, four steps to a smooth career!"

Yang Xiaoyu had a smile on his face, and shouted as he pulled Shen Mengxin as he walked.

The four of them walked from one end of the bridge to the other and from the other end, and this is the completion of the bridge.

After stepping on the bridge, there are customs such as touching nails.

Yang Xiaoyu accompanied the three women to walk in the wind and snow, playing all the way, and came to the vicinity of the lamp market.

Near Dong'anmen, the people set up sheds and placed all kinds of lanterns, among which the largest and most delicate cluster of lanterns was priced at 100 gold, and many people piled up in front of the lanterns like a tide, judging their heads and laughing happily.

On both sides of the street, merchants from all over the world gather, selling antique jade, Luo Qi silk and satin, beads and stones, and all kinds of treasures.

The people walked on the street like a trend, Yang Xiaoyu took Shen Mengxin's hand and walked in the front, many people saw Yang Xiaoyu wearing a unicorn suit, followed by a brocade cloth, and avoided it.

Walking to a stall selling jewelry and jadeite, Shen Mengxin fell in love with a pair of jade bracelets.

Yang Xiaoyu took out the silver taels and bought them directly, but then he felt inappropriate, he bought a bracelet for his wife, but not for Ling Lu and Mingyue, isn't this discrimination in disguise?

Yang Xiaoyu endured the strange eyes, and directly bought the bracelet on the stall, and let the three girls choose as much as they wanted, and see which one to take.

Miss Ling Lu was born and didn't look down on the stalls, so she only took a pair of sheep white jade bracelets, the bright moon was cold, she didn't like vulgar things, and she took a bracelet made of Lantian jade.

After accompanying the three girls to wander the lamp market, Yang Xiaoyu ordered the guards to buy a lot of lanterns and take them home.

Tonight is the Shangyuan Festival, he wants to escort the car, and he has no time to accompany his wife to enjoy the lanterns together, so he asked Shen Mengxin and them to put lanterns in the mansion by themselves.

After settling down the trivial matters in the house, Yang Xiaoyu took the riders to patrol the lamp market.

He is a military attache from the third rank, and he should have entered the court to accompany the holy driver to enjoy the lanterns, but he knew very well that accompanying the holy driver today was tantamount to self-destruction.

He was born in Zhejiang, and he was the sworn enemy of Donglin officials, and they would not allow a Zhejiang official to accompany the holy driver on such a big scene as admiring the lanterns.

Yang Xiaoyu came to the west entrance of the Lamp Market, summoned the four thousand households of the Fusi of Beizhen, and asked them to order their subordinates to carefully guard the main road, and then took the four people to the gate of the palace to greet the holy driver.
