Chapter Twenty-Four: Ancient Secrets and Festivals

"Liuli is the most lovesick... The scoundrel didn't lie to you about this, but outsiders don't know that it's not drunk lovesickness, but the most lovesickness. ”

As if recalling something wonderful, when he said this, he saw a shy flush on Wang Ce's face, coupled with Wang Ce's very masculine and handsome, the shame on his face at this time had a different flavor.

"The most lovesick... I've heard of this, and I heard the old man mention it before, saying that this is a court song from the previous dynasty, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Hearing Wang Ce say this, Lin Ling remembered the secret story about the sound of the piano when Yao Lao Er instigated him before, but Lin Ling didn't know whether it was true or not, and he was just parroting at the moment.

"Qianqi? I didn't expect that this Yao Lao Er and his husband would also know this court rhyme, it seems that I really underestimated him. ”

Wang Ce is very familiar with Yao Laoer's temperament, but even the closest people have their own secrets to each other, not to mention that Yao Laoer, an old man of one and a half hundred, although his face is a little obscene, it is undeniable that Yao Lao Er is still very knowledgeable.

"By the way, brother, I was wondering before, it seems that since I left the restaurant this morning, I have walked all the way down, why there is almost no pedestrian on this street?"

Seeing that Wang Ce paused at this point, Lin Ling thought about it in his heart and asked the initial doubts in his heart.

"Can the virtuous brother know about the Emperor's Day?"

Hearing Lin Ling say this, Wang Ce smiled faintly, and said without answering.

"Dunhuang's Day? Hiss... It seems to be a little impressed, but I can't remember too many details for a while, and I ask my brother to solve his doubts. ”

As soon as Wang Ce said the Dunhuang Festival, Lin Ling felt very familiar, but just like Wang Ce himself, Lin Ling just felt familiar, but in a hurry, he couldn't remember where he had heard or seen it.

"Speaking of this Dunhuang Festival, if you are not from Kyoto, it is difficult to know the reason, but since you have asked today, then the foolish brother will talk about it for you."

Lin Ling: "I'd like to hear about it." ”

I saw Wang Ce clear his throat, pick up the wine cup on the side and take a sip lightly, smash his mouth twice, and then said leisurely.

"In fact, this Dunhuang Festival, to put it bluntly, is to commemorate the ancient period, Emperor Shun to control the water, starting from the 20th year of Qingli, has been counting down to the front for more than 1,800 years, when the riverbed of the river is extremely loose, almost every ten years will be a big flood."

"At that time, when the flood crosses, it will inundate 28 cities and 96 counties along the way, and those large and small towns are countless, from the silver sea in the east to the west, until the foot of the majestic Canglang Mountain in the west county, it will suddenly turn into a country."

"However, at that time, Emperor Shun's tribe was very weak, almost sandwiched between Kuiba and Extermination, but Emperor Shun was concerned about the common people, and every time he saw the corpses of the people floating down the river from the north, he would always cry bitterly."

"Until the Kuiba in the north and the extinction in the south started a decisive battle, Emperor Shun saw that the lives were ruined, and he couldn't bear to fight anymore, so he risked his life and threw himself into the turbulent river."

"It's also strange to say, at the moment when Emperor Shun threw himself into the river, the sky suddenly changed, and the big river that originally swept the world seemed to be perceived by something, and they all flowed backwards."

Hearing this, Lin Ling couldn't listen anymore, although he didn't know much about the origin of this Dunhuang Festival, no matter how he said it, he wouldn't be as pompous as Wang Ce said, there was simply no logic at all.

"Hehe, Brother Fool knows what you're thinking, in fact, most people don't know the origin of this Dunhuang Festival, just because the age is too old, and most of the books and texts in ancient times have been destroyed in the hundred battles of the princes."

"But although I don't understand the general meaning, as long as you know that this Dunhuang Festival is a memorial to Emperor Shun to the river god, and this Dunhuang Festival, since it can be continued in all dynasties, then there must be a reason for him."

Looking at Lin Ling's increasingly strange look, Wang Ce coughed dryly twice, smiled, and gave a fairly pertinent answer.

In fact, there is no need for Wang Ce to deliberately fill in the omissions, because when Wang Ce mentioned the hundred battles of the princes, Lin Ling already believed the meaning of Wang Ce's words.

Just didn't wait for Lin Ling to echo, I saw Wang Xiang, who had been guarding the door, suddenly pushed open the compartment screen of the box, and came straight to Wang Ce, first subconsciously glanced at Lin Ling on the side, and then called softly: "Childe, it's almost time, it's time for you to go home." ”

"When you are still in the middle of nowhere, you are very nervous, go away."

Wang Ce, who was originally in high spirits, suddenly heard Wang Xiang say this, and immediately became a little unhappy, but although Wang Ce was slightly drunk, he only waved his hand at him, and did not directly scold him.

"Brother, before you know it, it's approaching, if this brother doesn't say it, the younger brother almost missed the hour, or we will be here today, and if we have leisure in the next day, we can still get together."

Looking at Wang Xiang with an embarrassed face, Lin Ling knew that he had something important to say, but seeing that Wang Ce was very happy with him, it was not good to drive himself out directly, so he could only endure it all the time.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Ling took the initiative to get up and retire, which could be regarded as giving Wang Xiang a step.

"Hey, it's very tight, today my brother is fortunate to meet the virtuous brother, it should be a drunken party, what is the time to say, even if it stays until noon."

Wang Xiang is Wang Ce's personal guard, how can Wang Ce not know that he has something to say in his heart, but today he accidentally got acquainted with Lin Ling, and his heart was arrogant for a while, how could a cow be able to pull back.

"Wang Xiang, from now on, Xianghe is my brother Wang Ce, and if you say to him, you will say to me, do you have anything you want to hide from me?!"

At this moment, Wang Ce was also a little drunk, if it was a normal time, he would never act so rashly.

“... Childe, the eldest son has returned home! ”

Looking at his young master's drunken appearance, Wang Xiang also felt a headache, if he went back to the house and let the master touch him, he would have to educate Wang Ce hard.

"What is the eldest son and the second son, go, call me Dr. Tea, Lao Tzu wants to eat wine!"

Wang Ce was so shouting that he had already slapped the table, obviously really angry at Wang Xiang's reaction.

"Lin Gongzi, I'm really sorry, you have also seen it, my son-in-law's state is really not suitable for drinking anymore, a little offended, please Gongzi Haihan."

Saying that, Wang Xiang bowed his hand and said apologetically to Lin Ling, who was still sitting peacefully.

"Where did Brother Tai say, Lin Ling was also guilty in his heart, but after all, he couldn't persuade his brother, if you can take your brother away at this time, Lin Ling should be grateful, so why blame him."

Although Wang Ce can call Lin Ling a brother and brother, this does not mean that others can recognize Lin Ling, so when Wang Xiang was so polite, Lin Ling hurriedly stood up and returned the salute.

"Well, then, there will be a period later."

Seeing Lin Ling immediately get up and return the salute, although Wang Xiang was silent in his heart, he also had a little good feeling, but he was worried about the things in the house, so he replied simply and clearly.
