Chapter 9: The Winter Sun Festival

The next day, Xiao Huaiyi shouted outside the door early in the morning

"Sister-in-law, it's time to get up, it's almost time."

Zhou Qi was woken up by this scream, and tried to try the function of the mobile phone yesterday, but he was playing, and he slept for less than two hours, stretched out, and found that the person next to the pillow was no longer there, and he should have gotten up early.

"Husband, you're awake, concubine...... Okay, don't talk about it. ”

Xiao Xinyi saw Zhou Qi's pretended angry expression and pouted.

"Wake up so early, or do it again in the morning."

"Don't, I'm ashamed, the second brother is still outside."

"Hee-hee, that's another day."

"Husband, get up and rinse your mouth..."

……

On a street in the national capital, there is a constant flow of people, and there are a variety of goods on both sides, and a luxurious carriage is interspersed in it, which is inconspicuous.

"Second brother, didn't you drink a lot of wine yesterday? How can you be so energetic today? Zhou Qi and Xiao Huaiyi sat in the carriage, while Xiao Xinyi stayed at home.

"Your second brother is a martial arts practitioner, what is that bit of wine, if I don't want to get drunk, luck is resolved, isn't this afraid of bullying my sister-in-law."

"Oh... It turns out that people who practice martial arts can also cure hangover. ”

Zhou got up to this world and didn't know how the force in this world was divided, and he suddenly became interested.

"Of course, hangover is just a small way, the real master is from heaven to earth, omnipotent, a hundred zhang away, take the head of the enemy."

"It's so powerful, can it live forever?"

"Immortality and immortality? At the end of life, there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, and no matter how powerful the master is, there will be a day when immortality is not against the way of heaven. ”

Zhou Qi was slightly disappointed, thinking that he had come to the world of immortal cultivation in the novel.

"Then there are levels of masters now."

"Of course, people who practice martial arts are divided into ten levels, from high to low, from one rank to nine grades, and above one rank is the grandmaster."

"What is the strength of the Grandmaster?"

"Grandmaster, that's really rare in the world, I only heard that a hundred years ago, the sword god Guo Degang went crazy and slashed a hundred first-class masters with a sword, and all the creatures in a city were slaughtered by him overnight."

"So ruthless, but why is he crazy?"

"Who knows, it's just rumors, and who knows if it's an exaggeration."

"Indeed, what is the strength of the second brother?"

"Ahem, I'm a fifth-grade master, it's amazing, but my light skills are even better, even if it's an ordinary second-grade master, it's difficult to catch up with me!"

"The second brother is amazing, when I have time, the second brother teaches the younger brother, and I also want to go to the sky and the earth and see the world at a glance."

"Ahem, I'll talk about this later, sister-in-law, do you know why I took you out today?" Xiao Huaiyi coughed lightly and changed the subject.

"Oh... Why? ”

"Because today is the Winter Sun Festival!"

"Winter Sun Festival? What's that! ”

Zhou Qi really doesn't know much about the festival customs and culture of this world, and he really needs to inquire when he has time.

"Winter sun, that is, in the coldest period of winter, suddenly one day the temperature plummets to as warm as spring, there is only this day, this day will snow heavily, and the ground does not melt, is it quite abnormal and contradictory."

"It's really anomalous, can there be an explanation for this vision?"

"It's not clear yet, but it's been recorded that this vision has existed for thousands of years, and I'm afraid it will be even earlier, and there is a legend that a fairy came here and left a miracle on this day, so that every year in the world, such a vision will fall from the sky."

"It's just a legend, my sister-in-law doesn't have to take it seriously, today is mainly a poetry conference, how can I not go if I am proficient in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, by the way, I will take you to Zhang Zhang to see."

"With such a good thing, why not bring your favorite and have a good time."

Zhou Qi is a little complaining, this situation is more suitable for young couples to date, I don't seem to have brought my favorite date to play after marriage, and I have time to make up for it.

"Hey... Why bring a woman to the house for things between men. ”

Xiao Huaiyi's eyes revealed a hint of cunning.

"Could it be that there can be women in the poetry society?" Zhou Qi wondered, was so patriarchal in ancient times?

"How could it not be! What's more, cough cough, isn't this a long way, I'm afraid that my little sister will be tired and uncomfortable, haha. ”

Xiao Huaiyi laughed to himself after speaking.

"Understood, understood."

Zhou Qi suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that the second uncle had ulterior motives.

……

In less than half an hour, the two of them came to Qingping Street, the prosperous area of the commercial capital.

Qingping Street, located in the southeast of the center of Shangdu, is divided into two by a twilight river, with a cobblestone road about five meters wide and stone barriers on each side, and two wide roads on both sides of the street.

There are a total of nine arch bridges connecting Qing Ping Street, which shows how large the street is.

"Sister-in-law, Qingping Street does not allow carriages to run rampant, only merchant ships and pleasure boats, so let's get off."

After speaking, Xiao Huaiyi lifted the curtain and jumped out of the car, opened the folding umbrella, and Zhou Qi followed.

The heavy snow still has no momentum to stop, looking at the endless flow of people into the street, all kinds of carriages outside Qingping Street are lined up in two rows, and the little guy happily takes the carriage and stops on the side.

"Why don't you let the carriage pass, I think the street is quite wide."

Zhou Qi and Xiao Huaiyi each held an umbrella and walked side by side on the street.

"Sister-in-law, you still know too little, if you have time, the second brother will teach you more, not to mention anything else, this is one of the four great talents of the business, and I am the head."

Xiao Huaiyi held his head high, beaming proudly, and then said:

"Qingping Street has never had a war since ancient times, some people say that there is a great power here, and the foreign country does not dare to invade, and there are rumors that this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the beauty of Zhong Ling, gathering the right time and place, it is a peaceful place."

"Qingping is also named after this, and this street has been perfectly preserved since ancient times, and Dazheng is heavily guarded every day to prevent someone from deliberately destroying it."

Zhou Qi didn't expect that there would be such a strange place in the world, but it's not strange, today's weather is quite strange.

"Then in which restaurant will today's poetry be held?"

Zhou Qi was very curious about such a strange place, and it must be unusual to be able to hold a poetry meeting during the Winter Sun Festival.

"You'll find out in a little while, sister-in-law."

Xiao Huaiyi also deliberately sold a pass, and Zhou Qi smiled helplessly.

"Sister-in-law, let's speed up the pace, don't miss the hour, don't you regret it for life if you miss the opening of Miss Hongling!"

After Xiao Huaiyi finished speaking, he was ready to pull Zhou Qi in a hurry.

Just then, an unpleasant voice came from behind the two.

"Yo, isn't this the four evils of Shangdu, Xiao Gongzi?"

The two turned around and saw a man in green with an extraordinary look and a few entourages walking slowly.

"Hmph, who should I be, it turned out to be Zhao Rang, the little son of the Ministry of Rites, why don't you tease the crickets at home, how can this Qingping Street be a place where a loser like you can come."

Xiao Huaiyi didn't get angry, but sneered.

"Xiao Gongzi, Xiao Gongzi, forget what others say, what qualifications do you have, I can finally enter Bailu Academy, and you can only learn some obscene poetry in Fenghua Place."
