Chapter 288: Spring Festival
The day before the Spring Festival, Mo Beichen, as the quasi-son-in-law of Nangong Villa and the main executor of the assassination plan, went to meet Qi Han with Nangong Jingze and had a secret conversation.
Shen Xingwan and Jiang Shiyi Lang did not stay in the villa, but went to visit the Spring River at night, the place where this memorial was held.
The riverside is already crowded with people, and it is very lively. Candlelight illuminates the river.
Sure enough, the wooden stage for the performance has been set up.
"Tomorrow Chunniang will dance on it."
"This year's Chun Niang is said to be a delicate girl."
……
Shen Xingwan looked at the platform that almost reached the middle of the river, "What is the origin of this exquisite." ”
Jiang Shiyi Lang shook the fan in his hand, "The top brand of the Red Bean Pavilion has been famous in the rivers and lakes in the past two years, and it is both good and evil. ”
Shen Xingwan, "Red Bean Pavilion, this name is a bit interesting. ”
Jiang Shishilang, "Red Beans are born in the southern country, and it is said that the owner of the Red Bean Pavilion is from the distant southern country. ”
It's just that now it seems that it has a lot to do with Qi Han.
Shen Xingwan chuckled, "I hope this delicate girl won't disappoint people tomorrow." ”
The two walked around the riverbank, entered a nearby restaurant, ordered wine and drank it happily.
Drinking until midnight, the two of them asked for a room to rest.
As soon as he entered the room, Shen Xingwan suddenly sobered up, and he was completely drunk.
Tomorrow's ceremony, they don't have to follow Nangong Jingze.
Nangong Jingze's identity can bring a titular brother-in-law Mo Beichen at most.
Shen Xingwan pushed open the window on the third floor, "Is Little Tail gone?" ”
Jiang Shiyi Lang said indifferently, "It doesn't matter if you go or not." ”
Jiang Shiyi Lang sat down and placed chess pieces on the table, "Let's have a game?" ”
The two sat down and began to play against each other.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Shen Xingwan had no sleep.
Tonight's Minnan is under the cover of the night, and I don't know how many things are happening quietly.
Holly and Cicada Clothes lead people to the gathering place of the legendary fishergirls, and try to enter the interior under the leadership of Cicada Cloth Powder Kailu and Fat Meow.
It is cloudy, rainy and humid all year round. There are a lot of poisons that gather, and there is often heavy fog that makes it easy to get disoriented.
With Fat Meow there, they can smoothly find their way and walk in.
The mercenary corps under Nan Kite never fought unprepared battles, and they had already reconnoitred and ambushed.
All they have to do now is lie dormant and wait for the right moment.
And in the list given by Shen Xingwan, the Nangong family, which was specially circled and marked with an asterisk, was led by Nan Kite and the people who flowed the fireflies in person.
The detachment on Shen Ruoyan's side quietly touched the three garrison sites of King Minnan, bypassed the camp, and marched towards the nearby water source.
The candle flame in Min Xijian's courtyard was not extinguished all night.
He said to Qin Xuejian, "Tomorrow, the mother concubine will ask you." ”
The strength on his side mainly comes from his maternal grandfather, the Gu family, which is one of the four major families in Minnan and is strong.
Qin Xuejian nodded, "Don't worry." ”
The people from the rivers and lakes who came with a lot of money have already been ambushed in the place designated by Qi Han overnight.
Jiang Shiyi Lang left a son, "Tonight's Minnan is really interesting." ”
Shen Xingwan yawned, "Who do you think the final winner will be?" ”
Jiang Shiyilang's eyes were like torches, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can make Min Nan mess up." ”
If it succeeds, it will naturally be beneficial for them to push Min Xijian to the top.
If it fails, splash dirty water.
The Nangong family colluded with the regent of Xiling and betrayed the country to seek glory.
This is a sin that will be copied all over the house, and they will not lose.
It should be regarded as her return gift to Nangong Xian.
Both of them are not weak in chess, and after three rounds of hand talk, the sky is already slightly bright.
Freshen up and go downstairs for breakfast.
The lobby was already full of guests, and everyone was excited in the morning.
In the morning, King Min Nan will go to the temple to worship his ancestors, and he will appear in Chunjiang in the afternoon.
After eating, the two went to the shore early and chose a location with a wide view.
Shen Xingwan also bought two small bamboo chairs from a small stall by the river, and handed one to Jiang Shiyilang, "Sit down." ”
There are already a lot of people who have come early to take up their seats, but the real memorial service does not begin until sunset in the afternoon.
Jiang Shiyi Lang took it and sat down, and sighed, "I really know how to do business." ”
Those of them who came early in the front row almost all bought one.
Soon the fruit sellers, the food sellers, and the tea buyers all began to shout.
Shen Xingwan had food in both hands, and he ate more before he could work after a while.
In the afternoon, a commotion began in the crowd.
"The King of Minnan is here!"
Shen Xingwan stood up, and the officers and soldiers opened the way.
King Min Nan and Princess Min Nan appeared on the main stage by the river. There was also a group of people behind him.
Shen Xingwan squinted his eyes and looked at it seriously for a while before he saw Mo Beichen in the crowd.
However, Qin Xuejian was next to Concubine Gu, only one step behind King Min Nan, and he saw it at a glance.
"Why don't you see the dislike?"
It's a bit far away, looking for someone to waste eyes.
Jiang Shiyi Lang said, "Lead people in the back to maintain order." ”
The common people were isolated by the soldiers, and the best positions were all reserved for King Min Nan and several major families.
Soon remembering the sound of drums, a group of people wearing masks on the wooden stage began to perform the local folk dance of Minnan.
In addition to the excitement, half of the people on the list given by Shen Xingwan have been resolved.
The spring festival is a lively and beautiful festival for the people. But for the powerful people who are used to seeing good things, they are not so interested.
The old man, who had just come out of the courtyard of the outer room where he was raised, was killed by an arrow through his heart.
The son, who was about to go home after having fun in the casino, bumped into a drunk man head-on when he walked out.
"Don't you have long eyes when you walk..."
As soon as Childe finished scolding, he fell down holding his abdomen, and he didn't bat an eye.
There were also those who fell from their horses, those who were poisoned, and those who died on the bed of the Oiran.
Of course, there are also those who are vigilant and die after a head-to-head confrontation with mercenaries...
The most exaggerated thing is that Shen Xing, who was bored, clearly saw that someone on the bridge fell directly into the river.
Shen Xingwan twitched the corners of his mouth, "This is too unsophisticated, right?" ”
She could clearly see the hand of a man dressed in coarse cloth.
Jiang Shiyi Lang lowered his voice, "Where did you find someone who is dedicated enough." ”
The spring festival began immediately, and I did not forget to carry out the mission.
Fortunately, such an episode did not cause a sensation.
Every year, there are people who watch the excitement accidentally fall into the river, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.
Don't even worry, because there will be officers and soldiers who have access to water, ready to go into the water to save people at any time.
Looking at it from a distance, King Min Nan and the princess have already begun to offer incense to the sky.
Shen Xingwan cheered up, "It's about to start." ”
An incense altar was set up on the shore, and the king of Minnan reverently put on the incense of Sanzhu, and a Taoist priest wearing Taoist clothes recited a long list of blessings in Hokkien.
King Min Nam sprinkled wine on the ground and on the river.
The sacrificial song sounded, and the people grabbed a small handful of colorless rice and threw it into the river.
Following the customs, Shen Xingwan also sprinkled a handful.
