On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, before nightfall, the city is already full of people, the tide of lights is like a sea of stars, a noisy and prosperous scene.

Gongsun Lan is still dressed as a son, and he and Yang Wei are walking in the noisy long street, and the floors are decorated with brocade, and they are very interested in seeing that the scenery of Yasukuni is quite different from that of Da'an. The crowd of people wearing masks with different patterns, holding candy figures or lanterns in their hands, laughed and laughed endlessly.

Among the girls, Twilight is the youngest, and from the excitement of early in the morning to the present, everything she sees along the way has to be carefully touched and seen. At this time, I passed by an alley with the sound of silk and bamboo, and I couldn't help asking, "Miss, what kind of place is there?" It looks so lively! ”

Gongsun Lan was just about to turn her head, but Yang Wei stepped forward to block her sight, and said indifferently: "It's still early, jugglers, lantern riddles and the like will be late." Why don't you go to the teahouse in front of you and sit down, I heard that there is a storyteller on stage at night, and he talks about the latest things, so we might as well go and listen to it. ”

There is no shortage of excitement in the mouths of the people, and even more so in the mouths of the storytellers. Some of the secrets in the royal palace of the world have been rendered layer by layer, and they have long become unrecognizable, but they are good things to eat after tea and dinner, and they are most in line with the taste of the people.

Of course, there are also many people who have a heart to spread some news widely through such means.

For example, the most talked-about and well-known "rainbow" nowadays.

Yang Wei had this proposal, and Gongsun Lan naturally had no opinion. But on weekdays, as long as she is not talking about business, when Yang Zheng rarely has more than ten words in a sentence, she actually said a long sentence, which made her a little unclear. But the group was pushed forward by the crowd, and Gongsun Lan didn't care, and walked towards the teahouse.

The teahouse is still elegant, but today is the Shangyuan Festival, and it is inevitable that people will be too noisy. When he went up to the second floor, he met a table of people who got up and were about to leave, so Lei Cheng quickly stepped forward to take a seat, and several people took off their masks and sat down.

The location is close to the window, you can not only see the lights outside like a long line, but also hear the words of Mr. in the teahouse.

At this time, it was not yet the most lively time, and the gentleman in the long coat put a red lacquer drum in his hand, and sang a small tune while beating it to attract customers.

Gongsun Lan had never heard this tune, but she could also hear that it was originally sung by a woman, and the words were lingering and charming, and there was no lack of joy and moving. was sung and sighed by this storyteller who was over fifty years old, squeezed out of his throat with a little vicissitudes, and there was something interesting, as if he was telling a story of the past.

Yang Zheng saw that she was listening carefully, so he explained on the side: "This tune is a unique singing method in Yasukuni, and it can be regarded as a kind of folk custom. Many storytellers don't tell stories well, but sometimes they become famous because they sing good tunes. ”

Gongsun Lan smiled in surprise: "Interesting." ”

Yang Zhen had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were bright, he looked at Gongsun Lan and said, "When everything is settled, I will accompany you to Baimeng again." ”

Gongsun Lan turned his head to look at him in surprise, was silent for a while, and asked, "Have you already thought about it?" ”

Yang Zhen glanced at her with a smile, just as the storyteller finished singing, and saw that there were almost people in the teahouse, so he knocked on the eye-catching, and the guests in the hall subconsciously stopped talking and looked at him.

Mr. Storyteller glanced around and opened his mouth with a smile: "Under the surname Weng, today I will tell you about the most rare new things recently, do you know, which one is it?" ”

"This still needs to be asked, of course it's the rainbow that has been present for nine days in a row!"

"That is, in my lifetime, it is the first time I have seen such a gorgeous rainbow, or for nine consecutive days."

"Hey, what do you have in your lifetime? How long has it been, I'm afraid that this nine-day rainbow is a rare wonder in a hundred years and a thousand years! ”

As soon as Mr. Weng's voice fell, someone immediately started to coax, and he was very satisfied and stretched out his hand to suppress it. Immediately, the crowd fell silent again. Mr. Weng's expression was rich, and he could say that his eyebrows were dancing, and he asked with a smile: "Then do you know what the meaning of the Nine Days Rainbow appears above the North Hades Palace?" ”

"Didn't Mr. Weng get any news?"

"Yes, say it quickly, don't sell it!"

Mr. Weng fully aroused everyone's appetite, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, and said: "In other words, there is a Heavenly Master in the Northern Hell Palace, who sits in the Qin Heavenly Prison and watches the stars to divide the world's affairs. Therefore, when this rainbow has only appeared for three days, the king can't wait for him to predict the good luck! To get a glimpse of my Jing Dynasty's fortunes! ”

Celestial phenomena have been considered to be a warning from heaven to the world since ancient times, and the nine-day rainbow is undoubtedly a strange phenomenon. As soon as the people present heard this, they knew that Mr. Weng was going to get to the point, and they all fell silent for a while.

"The Heavenly Master immediately opened the altar to perform the Fa, and above the palace, the sound of thunder and clouds gathered, and the Heavenly Master was wrapped in several mysterious breaths, and a body of mysterious magic penetrated the heavens and the earth, and a few lines of mantra immediately appeared in front of him. It is clearly said that the omen of the nine-day rainbow is a good omen for the heavens and men to descend to earth and descend on my Jing Dynasty! ”

This Mr. Weng is over fifty years old, and he must have very good experience in storytelling, and when he ascends, his tongue blooms with lotus flowers, adding oil and vinegar, and describing the unpredictable things of the heavenly master that day, which is very mysterious, as if he really saw it with his own eyes. There is no lack of untruths in the words, such as the Heavenly Master's body is three times larger, his eyes are shining with golden light, and his hands are holding water and fire. But all the listeners present were attentive, for fear of missing half a word. As soon as his voice fell, everyone in the hall cheered and cheered, and there was a cheer and noise.

Of course, some people questioned: "With such a big movement, so many people in the city, why no one sees it?" ”

But needless to say, Mr. Shu explained, naturally there are people who refute it. "How can we be ordinary people like the Heavenly Master?"

There was silence in the field again, and someone heard the momentum, and stood up involuntarily, looking anxious to know the follow-up.

Mr. Weng didn't explain, but said with a smile: "Leaking the Heavenly Secret is against the way of Heaven, and the Heavenly Master has spent a lot of energy in calculating this matter, and he actually vomited a mouthful of blood when the mantra appeared in the world!" Master Heaven's Majesty never expected that this blood would actually turn into a red streamer and fly away! Do you know where it flew? ”

"Since there are heavens and men descending to earth, this red light must be a guide?"

"I don't know if this mortal immortal is Wenqu Xing or Wuqu Xing? Or is it something else? ”

Hearing everyone's speculation, Mr. Weng's hand fell with a bang, but he just smiled: "I want to know what will happen next, and listen to the next decomposition!" ”

"Wow!"

There was a sigh in the audience, complaining that Mr. Weng was hanging people's appetite.

But Mr. Weng said with a smile: "Today, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, you have a good time and have fun, and you will come back tomorrow, and you will naturally inform you of the follow-up things one by one." ”

Hearing him say this, everyone remembered that today was the Shangyuan Festival, and when they looked out the window, the lights outside were getting more and more vibrant, the crowds were dense, and all the juggling tricks had been counted, so they all left the scene laughing, only Gongsun Lan and his party were not in a hurry to leave.

Out of Yang Zhen and Gongsun Lan, the entourage was dumbfounded, and while sighing that the storyteller was well-informed, he muttered in a low voice: "Aren't they afraid of causing trouble when they talk about royal private affairs like this?" ”

Gongsun Lan said with a smile: "This is just the fun of the people to kill time after tea and dinner, and the laughter will pass after a while, and it will all be listened to as if it is true, even if it is true, they don't know, but just listen to it." People listen to stories, but the government comes to arrest people, which will make people strange and suspicious. ”

"It turns out that I made up the story...... "Twilight said suddenly, "Then miss, where did you say that the blood spit out by the master that day turned into a streamer and flew away?" ”

Gongsun Lan looked at Yang Wei with a smile, and Yang Zhen said, "Anyway, it won't be the prince's East Palace." "The third princess will not build momentum for the crown prince.

Gongsun Lan nodded and said, "In my opinion, eighty percent flew to the Yuanhe Hall where the queen lived. ”

The higher you stand, the more painful you fall. The third princess was holding the queen at this time, and when the time came, she was fattened and slaughtered with a knife, which was refreshing.

Yuexi leaned close to Gongsun Lan's ears and whispered excitedly: "Miss, don't you two plan to meddle in this matter?" ”

She has always been a person who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and everyone has long been used to it. Gongsun Lan smiled: "Isn't Cui Yun about to enter the East Palace?" ”

Yuexi's eyes widened and said, "Miss is trying to prevent her from marrying the crown prince?" ”

"Stop her from doing anything, and watch the third princess play." Gongsun Lan said a word mysteriously, then said no more, got up and said, "Let's go, let's go to the market to have fun!" ”

……

Colorful lanterns are hung all over Kyoto, and the delicate lanterns that can be seen everywhere swaying in the slightly cold air are full of light.

Cui Yun walked all the way in the shadow of the lanterns, and saw many girls walking in pairs and threes, wearing various masks and carrying lanterns of different styles in their hands and frolicking with each other. I don't know if this is heaven or earth.

But she had no intention of appreciating this scene at this time, because she had come to "meet" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince by chance.

Things that are destined to get their hands on are always not very interesting. Therefore, Cui Yun wants to let the prince taste the taste of asking for nothing before entering the East Palace, and when he takes the bait and sees himself in the East Palace, he must be full of surprises that he has lost and recovered.

Therefore, she mentioned this matter to Yan Hong, and Yan Hong told her the whereabouts of the prince that day.

On the Shangyuan Festival, the lanterns are everywhere and the sparks are lit, which is naturally the best time to meet.

"Miss, you see how beautiful it is under the Liuxian Bridge over there!" Yushuang pointed to the front excitedly, as lively and innocent as a child.

Cui Yun didn't reprimand her when she saw her like this, on the contrary, she liked such a girl. It's much better than the previous Dieshuang who was respectful and bad behind her back, she had already seen that the girl had taken a fancy to Yan Hong, so she ...... She asked Yan Hong to kill her with her own hands!

Cui Yun looked in the direction pointed by Yushuang, and saw countless tulle painted lanterns reflected on the water surface under the Liuxian Bridge, with plenty of shadows and streamers, worthy of the words "fairyland on earth". She smiled, and that was exactly where she was going. "Let's go, let's go and see."
