523. It's called a slap in the face

The lanterns reflect the New Year, and the soup is round and the blessings are round;

The beautiful scenery of the night welcomes the festival, and the things are round and the wealth is round;

When the sheng song sings good news, the people are also round and the heart is round.

Cheng Xi followed Shen Xingluo's side, followed the flow of people, and while admiring the ancient scenery, he deeply experienced the joy of the Lantern Festival of the ancients.

Of course, dating is also the first time in the past and present life.

Overall, it feels pretty good to have someone to protect someone and pay for something.

At that time, Shen Xingluo was already carrying a few small packages in his hands, including plum blossom cakes from Feng's shop on the east of the street and handicrafts woven by passers-by and vendors.

"The coming year will be smooth, and today's excitement is indeed a good start."

The man beside him relied on the fact that others couldn't hear the direct prophecy, "Do you want to see the iron tree and silver flower?" ”

"Yes, where?"

Iron flower, a proper intangible cultural heritage.

Even in modern times, it's not just something you want to see.

"Dayan's iron tree and silver flower have been passed down for less than a hundred years, and it is a rare spectacle, and it is performed in the open area near Changyuan Lake at this time of year."

Shen Xingluo took her hand and walked towards a wide place, and by the way, he popularized the history of its development.

"Unlike yours, the iron tree honeysuckle here was accidentally discovered by a folk craftsman, and the wealthy merchants thought it was festive and invited people to perform at a high price, and it slowly evolved into a kind of troupe-style organization."

"Do you know the history of our iron flower there? I'm afraid the books in the space have been ruined by you. ”

"It's not so exaggerated, it's just that there are records in the history books that I took a few more looks."

"So modest?"

"It's honesty."

Cheng Xi was satisfied, "Keep it up." ”

Shen Xingluo smiled and said yes.

Striking iron flowers is a large activity, and at night it is very striking because of its brilliant effect, so you don't need to think too much to find their exact location.

Cheng Xi looked at the crowd that was getting closer and closer, and suddenly sighed.

In modern times, the iron flower originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was an activity held by folk craftsmen to worship Taishang Laojun, and later evolved into a more comprehensive celebration ceremony among the people.

Now, in a different time and space, although the origins are different, they have all evolved into a kind of celebration.

Therefore, the essence of human beings chasing a better life is the same no matter where they are, and most people's wishes are simple and unpretentious, well-fed and warmly clothed, a happy family, and occasionally a pleasant performance.

That's enough.

"Bang! Whoa—"

A loud bang exploded in the ears, and then the sky full of sparks bloomed in the air, and the magnificent scene of fire trees and silver flowers never sleeps was displayed in front of you, gorgeous and colorful.

"Wow!"

"Oh my God—"

Suddenly, the surrounding people cheered and cheered, and the tide was like a song.

Such an original iron flower made Cheng Xi dizzy, although it was not as colorful as fireworks, but with another different style.

The fire tree and silver flowers are shocking, and it is suspected that the Milky Way explodes the sky.

"Brother Chengqi, I want them to perform this at my birthday banquet!"

A delicate and willful female voice sounded, breaking the harmonious scene of the whole people's fun.

Cheng Xi followed the sound and saw a luxury boat docked by Changyuan Lake, and it was a beautiful girl wearing a splendid Luo skirt standing on the bow of the boat.

There was an even more eye-catching man beside the girl, handsome and gorgeously dressed.

The two were followed by a sword-wielding guard and a maid with a fruit bowl, and the man seemed to be unable to bear the girl's request at this time.

The craftsman who performed the Iron Tree Silver Flower chose a very open place, there was still a certain distance from Changyuan Lake, and according to the ears of ordinary people, the girl's voice could not be heard, but the two of them had sharp facial features, and they were still standing closest to the lake.

Shen Xingluo's stretched brows furrowed slightly, glanced at the middle of the lake and retracted expressionlessly.

Cheng Xi keenly felt that his mood suddenly fell to the bottom.

"Acquaintance?"

She asked the man standing on the luxury boat.

"The eldest prince, Fu Chengqi."

"What about the woman?"

"If you guess correctly, it should be Chu Xinyu, the little county lord of the Duke of Chu."

Wow.

Cheng Xi quickly thought of several relationship chains, the eldest prince was born by Concubine Shu, and the foreign family was the Duke of Chu, so the men and women on the ship should be cousins.

"My cousin and cousin are quite compatible, and the ancients don't deceive me."

She teased.

The small movements between the two are very intimate, and anyone who sees the friendship in the eyes of the youngest daughter can guess a few points, and the Lantern Festival saves to swim in the lake together, and the relationship is not too obvious.

"But I remember that the eldest prince has a concubine?"

The concubine of the Duke of Chu can't always be a side for the eldest prince, even if she is willing to marry, it is impossible for Concubine Shu and the Duke of Chu to agree.

Shen Xingluo's face was gloomy, and his tone was disdainful, as if he didn't want to mention it, "The eldest princess is now pregnant with Liujia, and it is rumored that she is not in good health. ”

Oh.

Yes?

Cheng Xi paused, his expression a little unbearable.

If someone else said this, she wouldn't think much about it, but Shen Xingluo emphasized it so much, and with this gloomy face, it was difficult not to guess the meaning behind the words.

Most of the rumors are watery, and the artificials are almost the same.

Leaving his wife who is not in good health and pregnant at home, and accompanying his cousin to the lake on such a big day as the Lantern Festival? Ah, here's the next home in advance.

"The eldest prince plans to go to his mother and keep his son, and by the way, he will have another lifelong event?"

Miss Chu Guo will only be the main room, and the only way is to kill the original one to make room for it, so that it can be justified.

Shen Xingluo nodded invisibly, "There is only one female relative in the junior of the Duke of Chu, and she is young, and the eldest prince was still a child when he got married."

"But you don't have to get married, do you? There is a concubine in Chu Guogong, and it is impossible for him to stand on the side of the house. ”

"Miss Chu doesn't think so."

“.”

Cheng Xi twitched the corners of his mouth, "Can the eldest princess's maiden family respond?" ”

If your daughter dies and she leaves behind her grandson or granddaughter, she is not afraid that Miss Chu Guogong will marry her original child?

"Madame is smart."

Shen Xingluo remembered the great achievements of the great prince in his previous life, "Who stipulates that you can only do one major event at a time in your life?" ”

Cheng Xi was dumbfounded.

"In marrying wives and having children, you ancients not only won at the starting line, but also were ready to overtake in corners at any time, admiration and admiration."

“.”

Q: What should I do if my partner's thinking is too out-of-the-box?

Zhuang Yuanlang could only pinch his nose and admit it, "Let's go shopping elsewhere." ”

Enjoying enough of the gorgeous iron trees and silver flowers, the two planned to go home along Changyuan Lake, and by the way, they took a look at the lanterns along the way, and along the way, Cheng Xi guessed the puzzle on a whim and got a rabbit lantern, and turned his head and stuffed it into Shen Xingluo's palm.

Shen Xingluo looked at the pastry in his right hand and the lantern in his left hand, and was rarely silent.

Cheng Xi successfully liberated the right hand he was holding and walked with the wind.

"Hey, isn't that the daughter of the Tobe Shangshu family? The man next to him looked a little familiar. ”

"Third prince, Fu Chengxian."

"Look at my memory, I do look a little similar to the eldest prince. But if I'm not mistaken, he also got married, could it be that there is also a concubine in poor health in the family? ”

"The third prince is born by the queen and is the son of the saint."

So even if it is a side concubine, the gold content is huge, and it is okay to marry a concubine of the third grade.

Shen Xingluo explained in a low voice, "Song Shangshu has always been neutral in charge of the household department, and his attitude towards several princes is not biased, and he has always avoided contact between the female family and the royal family. ”

Cheng Xi was clear, no wonder he looked at the three princes who were a little attentive.

But what do you mean by that?

The fierce woman is afraid of pestering her.

"I was wrong."

"What?"

"It turns out that the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same."

Cheng Xi let out a long sigh: "Just now I also lamented that most people's desires are simple and unpretentious, and they only want to have a good stomach, family and happiness, and they were slapped in the face when they turned their heads." ”

Look at the abacus of these princes, they are all about to collapse in her face.

Shen Xingluo: "."

***

A good Lantern Festival lantern festival turned into a blind date bureau, which the two didn't expect.

Maybe it's because they met two pairs of unmarried men and women who were powerful in Beijing one after another, and then they recognized a few familiar faces, which was called a lively one.

Fortunately, the distance between the two sides is not too close, which avoids the embarrassment of many pleasantries.

Cheng Xi secretly drew a few family trees for them in his heart, and he was stunned to pull most of the officials of the imperial court in, and the more he thought about it, the more surprised he became.

In short, the powerful are a circle.

When they returned home, the rest of the people also walked back to the Shen family's courtyard, Cheng Daqian and Xu Lao were a little drunk, Shen Xingqi seemed to be happy, and was directing Fuguang and a few people to hang the lanterns on the wall.

Cheng Xi was almost blinded by the dense lanterns in the yard.

"Why are there so many?"

The corners of Wangshu's mouth twitched to the side.

Can it not be much, the second lady almost walked from the street to the end of the street, and picked the best-looking lamp king in each shop, and didn't want any of them, and the shopkeepers who were pinched were about to cry.

"Sister-in-law, look, is this peacock-shaped lantern good?"

"Beautiful."

Cheng Xi saw the little girl's face begging for praise, so he naturally had to satisfy her, "Why is our Xingqi so talented, is this planning to become famous?" ”

"It's my brother and sister-in-law who taught me well."

Oops, this mouth is so sweet!

Shen Xingqi snorted and said, "I didn't mean to guess the king of lights in other people's shops, that is. Bad luck and a nasty ghost. ”

Ay?

What's the situation?

A moment later, Cheng Xi knew what was going on.

Not only did she and Shen Xingluo meet a man and woman dating a couple tonight, Shen Xingqi was no exception, but she met Xie Zhi, a girl from the Xie family.

"I didn't want to deal with her, but she used me as a raft to show how talented she was."

What can I do if I am used as a control group?

She is also the sister of Zhuang Yuanlang, in case of one day there is a remark that "she is not from a good place in the market", where will her brother's face go?

This loss cannot be eaten, and it is resolutely not possible.

"So you showed off a little bit?"

"This is called a slap in the face!"

"Honestly, haven't you been looking at anything weird lately?"

Shen Xingqi suddenly felt weak, "That, I was looking for a book on the tablet." ”

I didn't expect to click on the APP.

Cheng Xi: "."
