Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Lamp Is Like a Dream
Zhi Yanshi hurriedly changed into civilian clothes, and brought dozens of old Cheng guards to the corner gate where Zhao Huan was, but when he saw Zhao Huan's face was pale, he was actually angry, he was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Your Majesty's face is displeased, but has you suffered any offense?" β
Zhao Huan smiled reluctantly and replied, "It doesn't matter, Shi Cai bumped into a hedgehog in the dark of the corner gate and was taken aback." β
Zhe Yanshi still doubted in his heart, the harem raised a lot of animals, there were a lot of grass and rocks, and it was not surprising that there was a hedgehog, but how to run to the corner gate of the front hall made of bricks and stones was really incredible.
Besides, Zhao Huan's face didn't seem to be frightened.
He was suspicious in his heart, but he was very alert, he looked around, and there were dozens of people standing around, knowing that it was inconvenient to speak, so he immediately responded: "Since Your Majesty is frightened, do you want to go out?" β
Zhao Huan sneered: "Naturally, I'm still afraid that a few things here won't work!" β
His tone was displeased, and Zhi Yanshi didn't dare to say any more, so he had to bow down and agree, and followed behind Zhao Huan, and the group also held silk lanterns, and walked out of the palace gate, and walked for half an hour.
Car lamp, ball lamp, lance silk lamp, sun and moon lamp, poetry silk lamp, mirror lamp, word lamp, horse riding lamp, wind lamp, water lantern, glass lamp, shadow lamp, Zhuban Liushanzi lamp, all kinds of skillful lights, Pingjiang Yushan lamp, Luo silk lamp, sand opera lamp, fire iron lamp, a canopy lamp, seafood lamp, red light full of characters......
It was as if the stars in the sky had flipped to the ground and turned into thousands of lights, twinkling and shining everywhere, compared with the light market in this street market, the thousands of lights in the imperial city were insignificant.
Although Zhao Huan has been a human being for two lives, has deep experience, and is full of anger in his belly, he can't help but smile at this time. Looking at a lot of lighting, have raised the bustling crowd, the characters are handsome and handsome lady Luo Fan Shengxiang plus the brilliant lights, although in the twelfth century in the Song Dynasty Chang'an, but such ingenious works are all graceful, but it is never let the so-called neon lights of later generations.
He smiled with his eyebrows, and looked at the wonders of the world that he had seen for the first time in his life like an idiot. At this moment, in Chang'an City, whether it is a street or an alley, there are lights everywhere as bright as day, countless people with the same smile as Zhao Huan on their faces, strolling in the Chang'an Lantern Market, or three or five friends have just left the restaurant, with a little wine, around the poetry silk painting lamp, pointing to the calligraphy and painting on the lamp, or frowning. guess the mystery on the lamp: either a group of twenty-eight girls.
Laughing and laughing, although he said those glass eight-treasure lamps in his mouth, his eyes flowed. But he glanced at the handsome young men who were impassioned with the words: either the whole family was traveling together, and the children were riding on the shoulders of the adults, screaming to see the figures on the shadow lanterns.
Zhao Huan at this time, when it was really Grandma Liu into the Grand View Garden, although he knew that the Song Dynasty was an era when China's commodity economy was highly developed, he never thought that the lamp market in Chang'an was so magnificent and colorful.
In addition to the large and small lamps hanging in the color sheds, it is in the center of the city. Zhao Huan looked at it, only to see that the lamp mountain was more than five zhang high, and there was a colorful building on it, and the lantern was decorated with characters that could be manipulated by the organ. There is also the big hall standing in the highest place of the lamp mountain, laying the five-color glazed pavilion, the pavilion is all the ball and the dragon and the hundred flowers, on the wall in the center of the palace, there are all kinds of legendary stories and characters in the book. Outside, there are dragons and phoenixes spraying water, lifelike.
Chang'an Mansion and the province in the palace are surrounded by thorns around the big wattle basin like a basin, in the wattle basin set up a lot of wooden statues of immortals, Buddhas, chariots and horses, and there are long poles as high as dozens of zhang on the side, the rod is the papier-mΓ’chΓ© hundred opera portraits, they fly by the wind, like the gods floating in the sky. There is a music shed next to the Jing Basin, which is specially for the musicians who worship in each ya, and on the side of the band, there are many skillful craftsmen, spitting fire and flying swords, performing all kinds of stunts......
Under the lights of all colors, there are hundreds of people, dozens of dancers perform dances, the second floor of the major wine lamps, there are many dignitaries and nobles, summon the dancers, let them perform the dance on the street under the wine lamp, they are mostly young girls, dressed in strange costumes, the white jade-like face is more warm under the lights, the slender figure dances with the shadow of the lamp, where there are dancing girls, it must be three layers inside and three layers outside, and the water around is impassable.
Zhao Huan was looking at the ground with a relaxed heart, but not far from his ears, someone whispered: "The fluffy tanuki hat covers the plum forehead, and the golden cicada Luo cuts the beard and the shirt is narrow." β
Listening to the voice, it was a young female voice, crisp and pleasant, which couldn't help but make Zhao Huan embarrassed.
He himself looked at this scene, his face was dull, and a group of guards thought that he was writing poetry in his heart, but in fact, if they could see through him, they would be shocked.
Except: "Great, beautiful, so cool." β
Zhao Huan has nothing to praise for this wonderful scenery and characters, he is also a bachelor's degree, and he has hunted a lot of ancient and modern Chinese and foreign literary classics, but he really can't think of how to praise the magnificent scene in front of him.
And the girl on her side, with only ten words, portrays the scene vividly.
He turned his head to look, only to see a young girl, her face was like a silver plate, her eyes were like apricots, her body was not very tall, but she was exquisite, and when she raised her hand and threw her feet, she was even more neat and neat.
Beautiful woman, Zhao Huan has seen a lot, but this girl's expression and temperament are very different from the gentle and graceful of ordinary women, and she actually taught Zhao Huan to look stunned for a while.
Seeing Zhao Huan staring at herself, the girl glanced at him, then pursed her lips and smiled, turned her head, and laughed with the female companions around her.
This group of girls is obviously the daughter of the eunuch's family, and the average woman wears an ordinary lantern ball lantern on her body, this group of girls is richly dressed, and even the lighting on her body is made of money silk threads, and the lights in the cage are accompanied by gold and silver threads jumping, which is more colorful and graceful.
Zhao Huan smiled slightly, thinking that it was not surprising that men and women were about to turn around and leave, only to see a group of young men in green shirts with moths tied with white paper on their foreheads, giggling and ha, surrounding this group of girls, and in a few words, they actually accompanied the girls to leave in groups. What's more, two or three pairs have already joined hands and are very affectionate.
Seeing Zhao Huan looking in a daze, a young guard smiled and said: "The official family has never gone up to hook up, otherwise I think the best one will definitely succeed if he smiles at the official family." β
Zhao Huan only said: "Nonsense, what kind of system is this." "I regret it very much in my heart, Zhao Huan's body shape and appearance are good, and his bearing is extraordinary, I am afraid that if he uses the tricks of picking up girls back then, he will definitely be much stronger than that group of miserable green boys.
Hearing him clear, several immortal guards all smiled and said: "What is this, I don't know how many men and women eloped during the Shangyuan Festival, and even there are a lot of wild places outside the city, where are they in charge." β
Zhao Huan already knew at this time that although science was already prosperous in the Northern Song Dynasty, in fact, due to the developed commodity economy, there was already the most basic citizen class, so the interpersonal relationship was not rigid and rigid, nor was it as distorted as the later generations imagined, and elopement and self-selection of son-in-law were not unimaginable heretics in this era.
He was regretting in his heart, but he heard Zhi Yanshi reprimand: "Don't talk nonsense, the men and women of Shicai have a lot of acquaintances, and that's why that's it." In fact, everyone is beautiful, how can they be so nonsense! β
The boss reprimanded him like this, and of course the rest of the people didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so they stuck out their tongues and shut up.
Zhao Huan listened interestingly, and hurriedly waved his hand, so that Zhi Yanshi did not have to restrain everyone, while walking, while listening to the nonsense of the guards, and then looking at the dreamlike lantern decorations, it was like a dream in the sky.
After a few more streets, although the lights were picturesque, Zhao Huan estimated the time, and it was almost the hour, because he said with a smile: "That's it, although I am full of physical strength, I can't bear to see the sourness of my eyes, let's turn back." β
He wanted to go back, but naturally everyone did not speak, and walked away at the moment, but turned back in the direction of the palace.
In the middle of the line, he bumped into a group of young men and women who were gathering in front of a group of riding lights, talking loudly.
Zhao Huan has a ghost in his heart, so it is inevitable to get closer to listen to what they are talking about.
A little closer, but the girl who heard Shicai's poetry was smiling and pointing to a lamp painting, and said: "Your Majesty is surrounded by hundreds of people, and the golden dogs are repelled one by one with guns and spears?" It's too exaggerated, but I don't believe it. β
"In the first battle of Luoyang, Your Majesty did take the lead, and many people in the army said that Your Majesty was good at riding and archery, and near Tongguan, he also shot an arrow from General Liu, how could it not be accurate?"
"That's why, if Your Majesty weren't strong in martial arts, he would be able to come to the Yashi Ten Thousand Formations unharmed?"
Before the girl's words fell, there were already a few people next to her who were gossiping and retorting.
Listening to everyone talking about himself, Zhao Huan became more interested, and got a little closer, only to see that on the huge lantern, the painting was his own many deeds since the First World War of Fuping, although the painter did not dare to paint like Zhao Huan himself, but wearing a yellow robe and riding a white horse, but it was not who else he could be.
Those lanterns are pulled back and forth by the lantern rope, from the Fuping War to the Luoyang cavalry duel, all with Zhao Huan as the protagonist, in the picture of the first battle in Luoyang, Zhao Huan is even more heroic and very powerful, tall and burly, riding on a horse, surrounded by many ugly and obscene Jin people, is being driven by Zhao Huan one person and one spear, driving the fart and urine.
Not only Zhao Huan laughed, but many of the guards who followed Zhao Huan's personal expedition also watched with a smile, the folk style has always been like this, a bad one is heinous, and once he becomes a hero in the hearts of the people, it is all kinds of encouragement, and even irrelevant things are imposed on that person. If Zhao Huan really came to Yashi in person, it is not false, but Luoyang did not move from beginning to end of the battle, where can he really go back and forth with the Jin people as shown in this painting.
