Volume 2 - Growth Chapter 152 - The Great Case in Beijing (3)
It stands to reason that the real spring should start after the beginning of spring, the first of the 24 solar terms. But the spring breeze can't bear the loneliness, and he has already led the land early.
Luoyang City.
I don't know what year it is, the emperor actually issued an edict in person, no curfew, and a night market.
This can be described as an unprecedented decision, and the people in the city, officials of all sizes, have poured into the streets. Every house in the city is lit up, and the streets and alleys are crowded with people.
The cries of selling are endless, and they are coming one after another. People talk and laugh freely under the night view. The tea sheds and inns on the street are full of people, ordering a few dishes and drinking tea and drinking.
All kinds of performances on the street attracted people to stop and watch. From time to time, the superb skills of the performer made everyone present hear a deafening applause. In this sea of people, Li Changfeng and his party are naturally indispensable.
Li Changfeng and his entourage originally walked together at the beginning, but because there were too many people, I don't know when everyone got separated. In the group, only Li Changfeng and Xu Daoling are left.
"It's all to blame on Wu Kang, this stinky boy! It's going to take so long?! Well, now everyone is gone! Alas! ”
Walking to a cross street, Li Changfeng wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, looked at the road behind him, and found that only himself and Xu Daoling were left, so he immediately complained.
"Alas, Brother Xian, don't worry! Tonight, the capital is very lively, plus people come and go, and those boys have their own little Jiujiu.
Young people can't let go of us two bad old men. Don't worry, you can't lose it! ”
Facing Li Changfeng's complaints, Xu Daoling took the wine gourd on his waist in his hand and raised his head to take a sip. Li Changfeng listened to Xu Daoling's words, and could only nod. But he shook his head again, and couldn't help but blame himself in his heart.
What are you going to ask about self-reproach? It turned out that there was a stall on the side of the road that grilled chicken thighs just now. Li Changfeng walked and walked, and when he smelled the fragrance, he couldn't walk, and as soon as he pulled Xu Daoling, the two of them went to the stall and began to eat a big meal.
The roast chicken was so fragrant, and the owner of the stall also sold his own wine. The two of them couldn't resist the temptation, one felt like he was hungry, and the other drank a little more.
When I turned my head, I found that the group of young people behind me had all disappeared!
Besides, what happened to the "lost" people?
Liu Ling, except for Wu Kang, was the first to get lost! As expected, this guy smelled the wine and ran to the wine castle early to have a drink.
Next is Mao Yishan and Han Suqin, and the matter of Admiralty has just settled. Han Suqin was in a coma for two days and one night before waking up, and it was difficult for Han Suqin to let go of Zhu Zhong's matter.
And Mao Yishan also took into account that the little junior sister was in a bad mood, so he took her out to relax.
However, after meeting everyone, Mao Yishan began to regret it. Because the little junior sister still has a sad face, her mood has not improved at all. Simply, Mao Yishan took his little sister and sneaked away. Guide Han Suqin by herself.
Let's talk about Zhang Danshen and others, this group of young people gathered in one place, but it was lively. They "got lost" together, and then the group ran to the busiest street to play.
Others may be accompanied by beautiful women or brothers. The most pitiful is none other than Guan Shouting. It's all "lost", Guan Shouting is really lost!
I haven't done it, and Guan Shouting, who can't find anyone, can only follow the flow of people and keep moving forward.
The crowd was extremely crowded, and Guan Shouting followed the street to a small arched bridge. The small arch bridge is only a dozen steps long and no more than two people walking side by side.
Guan Shouting walked to the arch bridge, raised his feet and was about to step on the arch bridge, when the person behind him suddenly exclaimed. Guan Shouting looked up, and his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the woman on the arched bridge.
It's not that Guan Shouting is lustful, but that the woman was born too beautiful, and she exudes a cold temperament, which makes people look like an iceberg beauty.
Guan Shouting reacted immediately, this woman was a little familiar, where should he have seen it. Soon, Guan Shouting remembered in his heart that when he first entered the capital that day, he amazed the two men and two women in the entire inn!
"Haha, sister, let's go over there and have a look."
A childish voice sounded, and a lively and lovely girl of sixteen or seventeen years old came out behind the woman. The woman nodded in agreement and took the girl's hand. Guan Shouting didn't think much about it, and stepped on the stone arch bridge with his feet.
I don't know if it's because it's too crowded, or if the girl in front of me is a little anxious. When the woman got off the stone platform, she stumbled, and her body fell forward.
The man standing in front of the woman was holding a fishing steel fork and carrying a bamboo basket around his waist, and his body exuded a fishy smell. You don't have to think much about it to know that there must be a lot of fish in the bamboo basket.
The woman fell forward and headed straight for the fisherman's fork. Guan Shouting's hand was quick, he stretched out one hand to hold the woman's thin waist, and stepped down the steel fork in the man's hand with one foot.
The fisherman couldn't help but be surprised, Guan Shouting opened his mouth to apologize to the man, and the fisherman didn't dare to blame him when he saw this, nodded and left.
"No, I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, and I'm offended. Also, I hope that the girl Haihan ......"
Guan Shouting hurriedly let go of his hand, and couldn't help but blush and apologize.
"Hmm!"
The woman replied, without any extra words, let alone the slightest emotion.
"Can you get out of the way?"
"Huh?"
The next moment, the woman spoke again, Guan Shouting was stunned, a big question mark appeared on his head, and then he reacted, because of what had just happened, the people on the bridge were blocked. Guan Shouting hurriedly dodged his body and let the woman pass.
"Hehe, big red face, my sister just means thank you for your help. Let's go! ”
The girl who followed behind the woman turned her head and stuck out her tongue mischievously at Guan Shouting, and said goodbye to Guan Shouting with a smile. Seeing that the girl was so cute, Guan Shouting couldn't help waving his hand at her to say goodbye, and then stepped onto the arched bridge.
"Sister, why do you always keep a straight face, that big red face saved you just now, and you don't say thank you to others, it's not good."
When the girl saw Guan Shouting leaving, she whispered to the iceberg beauty beside her.
The woman snorted coldly and said, "It's his own nosy, and I didn't let him save it." Besides, without him, I'll be fine! ”
"Alas, my good sister, you know what? How you change this cold personality, then you are perfect! It's a pity ......"
"What do you little girl know? Don't want to go shopping? If you don't want to go shopping, go back early! ”
"Alas!"
The girl didn't dare to say much, but she still sighed to her sister who didn't eat oil and salt beside her.
…………
On the brightly lit streets, there are a lot of entertainers, who are performing on the street, and the most breathtaking of them is probably not the father and son from Jizhou, who are not from Jizhou, in the wide cross street, specializing in the local traditional skill "Picking Flowers". ”
"Picking flowers" is a unique skill in Jizhou, and it is the local people who wish the coming year a smooth wind and rain, a bumper harvest of grains, and a free fire and worship the "God of Fire".
But I saw the father and son standing on the cross street, each holding an iron rod about two zhang long, and the two sections of the iron rod were tied to a flower tube made of steel wire, and you could see that the flower tube was still shining with a dazzling red light.
The red light came from the charcoal in the tube and the iron pieces that had been burned red by the charcoal.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dignitaries, please let go, the performance will start immediately, don't let the flying sparks stain your body! Let one go, let one go. ”
The father saw that the flower tube was already glowing red, and the eldest father knew that the time had come, and hurriedly stepped forward to beckon everyone to retreat.
Seeing this, the onlookers retreated a few steps back, leaving a wide open space for the father and son.
The father returned to his place and greeted the third son. The father and son immediately stood in a row in the shape of a "work" with an iron rod holding an iron cylinder.
The next moment, the long stick in the hands of the father and son slowly turned. As the trellis began to turn, the pieces of iron in the flower tube became more and more red-hot.
The father and son moved faster and faster, only to see the two flower tubes rotating at high speed draw red rings in the air. The iron pieces burned more and more, and the dazzling "meteors" splashed around, turning into "small fish" and jumping around.
The father and son's hands moved faster and faster, and the iron rod also rotated faster and faster, from the beginning to the long stick, into a dazzling "disc" that swept in all directions.
"Whew! Swish! Swish! ”
The "disc" danced, and a cool breeze whistled and made a loud noise.
"Bang! Cracking sound! ”
"Bang! Cracking sound! ”
The "little fish" that jumped out of the flower tube one by one suddenly exploded, and the golden molten iron was thrown out layer by layer.
At the moment when the molten iron gushed out, the streets that were originally brilliant with lamp walls were suddenly dim! One is like the light of the moon; One is like the light of fireflies.
The sparks are reflected in people's eyes, like a vast sea of stars, exploding in the dark night!
At this moment, people really felt that the stars in the sky were bursting in front of their eyes! The stars in the sky fell quickly and bloomed again in front of people's eyes.
The fire tree silver flower is dazzling.
The onlookers were all stunned at this moment!
It's just that in the vast sky, if there are only vast stars, wouldn't it be too monotonous?
Yes, the golden molten iron was thrown out layer by layer, and the fire trees and silver flowers were dazzling and magnificent. The outer layer of iron flowers exploded, and the iron rods in the hands of the father and son were actually divided into two layers under the rapid rotation.
The outer layer continued to explode, the stars kept falling, and the iron rod in the hands of the father and son formed a luminous circle of light, like the round sun above the nine heavens of the dome, the beauty of the scene was spectacular, amazing.
"Bang! Cracking sound! ”
"Bang! Cracking sound! ”
"Bang bang bang!"
"Wow!"
With a burst of explosion, it suddenly woke up the previously amazed crowd. There was a deafening shout at the scene, and the applause was thunderous, and the audience was full of praise!
