Chapter 18: 9 Bamboos
In previous years' Lantern Festival, Yuan Qing would come to the palace to find Xiao Changqi to join in the fun, but Xiao Changqi would always turn people away.
So this is the first time Xiao Changqi has come out to visit the Lantern Festival.
I heard that the prince was going to take the bird to the Lantern Festival, so the old manager deliberately advanced the dinner time by half a stick.
On New Year's Day, he squatted on the round red nanmu dinner table, eating bamboo and occasionally taking a sip of the spring water in the jade cup.
Xiao Changqi used dinner slowly and methodically, with an indescribable elegance and dignity in his gestures.
After eating the bamboo, New Year's Day patted his stomach with his wings, then stood up and walked slowly on the table for a few steps, taking a walk to eat.
Xiao Changqi glanced at the little bird that circled around the edge of the table, and his delicate and lazy appearance seemed to be able to lie on the table and fall asleep in the next moment.
The cruel and ruthless King Qianwang really couldn't see it like this, so he stretched out his hand and carried the bird to the ground, and pushed it: "Keep walking, don't be lazy." ”
New Year's Day protested and "tweeted".
"Huh?" Xiao Changqi raised his eyebrows with a cold face.
New Year's Day: "......"
"Chirp."
Okay, you're a tyrant, you're up to the crackers.
New Year's Day had to walk in the house for a long time under the man's cold gaze, and it was not until Xiao Changqi finished dinner that it finally sat on the ground.
"You'll be lazy." Xiao Changqi changed his clothes and came over, leaned over and caught the bird in his hand.
New Year's Day: "Chirp." ”
I'm not lazy.
You don't wronged people.
Xiao Changqi didn't speak, so he hugged the bird and walked towards the gate.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the streets are lit up everywhere, and the noisy streets are full of people and bright lights.
New Year's Day, as a modern person, has never experienced such a lively lantern festival.
The Mid-Autumn Festival, which means reunion and hopes for a good harvest, has developed into modern society and has lost its original festive atmosphere.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, most people in modern times may just have a simple meal with their families, and then go back to their rooms to play on their phones and watch TV.
However, the Mid-Autumn Festival has been passed down to the present, and since ancient times, there have been folk customs such as worshipping the moon, admiring the moon, eating moon cakes, playing with lanterns, appreciating osmanthus flowers, and drinking osmanthus wine.
When the author sets the background of Daying, although it is empty, it is not far from ancient China.
Xiao Changqi walked on the crowded streets, and the terrifying and gloomy aura on his body made the people around him walk around him.
New Year's Day squatted on the man's shoulder, looking left and right like a hillbilly, a pair of green bean eyes reflected colorful lights, as if there were stars falling in the blue sea.
All kinds of lanterns are hung in front of the merchants on the street, and there are a few large lanterns with a height of three or four people in front of a few ancient buildings.
New Year's Day saw the novelty, chirped Xiao Changqi with his wings, and then pointed to the most luxurious jade carving called Yunyan Pavilion.
Xiao Changqi looked at the tip of the bird's wings, then frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Don't go." ”
New Year's Day tilted his head and looked at the man: "Chirp? ”
Why?
Xiao Changqi didn't explain, and stared at Yunyan Pavilion for a while on New Year's Day, and after a while, she finally knew why Xiao Changqi didn't allow her to go.
Because most of the people who enter and leave the Yunyan Pavilion are men, occasionally women in more gaudy clothes come out to see off guests.
New Year's Day: "......"
Good.
She understood.
There is a restaurant in the capital that is specially used for dignitaries to drink and enjoy the scenery, Xiao Changqi does not like to go in and out of this kind of noisy and lively place, only walked on the street for a while, and then he went to the moon picking building.
When the old manager learned that the prince was going out to visit the Lantern Festival, he set a location in advance in the Moon Picking Building, and at this time, he only needed to report the name of the Qianwang Mansion and he could go in directly.
