Chapter 113: Opening the Door

The power of the four major families of Dali has also undergone a reshuffle, and the Gao family is outstanding, not only in charge of the "fishing" industry, but also the "Qiao" industry is chasing the Yang family, and it is also the power of the government in Dali. (Book House)

The Yang family fought against the Gao family because of the second rebellion, and the two times they were defeated, and their power was greatly damaged, but the foundation is still there, ranking at the end of the four major families.

Although the Wu family is loyal to the family, Wu Qinli is not the kind of foolish loyalty, and at the moment of life and death of the family, it is naturally the interests of the family that put the interests of the family first and retains the existing power. But the thing that fell into the well still can't be done.

The Zhu family in Dali boasts of reading and reasoning, but Zhu Zi'an is the first rat at both ends and is accustomed to falling into the well.

Although he used the reputation of his family in exchange for the growth of his strength on the surface, it seems that he has risen to the second position!

In fact, in terms of real power and strength, the Zhu family is still at the bottom!

The Zhu family is now a two-sided displeaser, everyone is not interested in them, and the position is very embarrassing! The Zhu family is now just the "horse bone" that the Gao family "buys bones for a thousand dollars"!

The caravan soon entered the capital of Dali, Tho Baa City, to the surprise of Xia Kai and He Yuanying, but this time the city gate was wide open, and the Dali royal family and the four major families of Yuqiao and Cultivator were all present to greet them, and the pomp was not small!

Although the imperial power of Dali has fallen, its intelligence work has not declined, but has become more powerful!

The caravan of the Xia family of the Great Chu Kingdom entered the Dali Kingdom, and although the caravan acted in a low-key manner, it did not deliberately conceal its origins, and it was not too difficult to find out the root of the caravan! In less than half a day's effort, the major families of the Dali Kingdom already knew about this matter!

Although the major families are very sensitive to the strength exchanges with foreign countries now, they dare not slack off on a top family like the Xia family.

After negotiation, the Duan royal family took the lead, and several major families came forward together to receive the Xia family's caravan, so there was a grand scene at the city gate.

Dali Guo came forward to receive him, but also to express his goodwill to the Xia family without losing courtesy! It was not necessary to make an official appearance at the court meeting, but the Dali royal family hosted a banquet for Xia Kai in the restaurant.

Xia Kai naturally went to the banquet with He Yuanying, although Xia Kai didn't like to socialize in such a scene, he was deeply influenced by his parents, and he was easy to deal with.

During the banquet, the prince of Dali greeted him, staggered and staggered, and sang and danced.

He Yuanying likes to be lively, smiling like a flower, Xia Kai is invisible, drunk and infatuated! Let the prince of Dali decide that Xia Kai has a habit of dragon yang!

When the caravan arrived in Dali, it can be said that safety has been guaranteed.

Because although the domestic power struggle in Dali is relatively fierce, everyone can still be unanimous with the outside world, and foreign forces cannot be allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of Dali.

They don't want foreign forces to interfere in Dali's internal affairs, so naturally they can't give excuses to foreign forces.

A prominent family like the Xia family also has a greater say in the Great Chu Kingdom, and their caravans, several major families in the Dali Kingdom, naturally want to ensure safety!

The caravan entered the Great Chu State from the 100,000 Great Mountains, which was the closest route. But Xia Kai only needs to go with He Yuanying is enough, and naturally he will not care about the caravan's behavior.

It was difficult for He Yuanying to come out, and after going back, it was a boring retreat, and this time he was accompanied by Ailang, so he naturally wanted to visit the mountains and rivers and relax himself completely!

Although the scenery of the 100,000 Mountains is peculiar, the two have already had a journey together, and this time He Yuanying wants to pass through Ailao Mountain.

Although Xia Kai's mind was not on the caravan, he couldn't let the caravan follow him around like this, so he ordered his deputy to take the caravan back to Xiangzhou Mansion on his own.

After Xia Kai separated from the caravan, he went on the road with He Yuanying and was alone with his lover.

He Yuanying's heart was bright, it seemed that Ai Lang was still angry about his charm being inferior to himself in women's clothes, so he followed his mind and changed back to women's clothes.

He Yuanying disguised herself as a man, mainly because she was afraid of the endless harassment of those self-inflicted men, but she was not afraid of what they would do to her!

Now that there is Ailang as a flower messenger and changing back into women's clothes, it can also prevent other women from coming to **Ailang, which is not necessarily a bad thing!

Coming to Ailao Mountain, it coincides with the local "Open Door Festival", which is the common festival of the minority ethnic groups in Dali who believe in Buddhism, and corresponds to the "Closing Festival"! Over the course of a year, in addition to closing the door is opening the door, almost half a year each!

"Closing the door festival", mainly in the summer and autumn of Dali is hot, rainy, floody, easy to have accidents when going out, so the habit of living in the summer and autumn of Buddhism has been formed.

On the day of the "Open Door Festival", young men and women dressed in costumes go to Buddhist temples to worship the Buddha, offering food, flowers, wax sticks, and coins.

After the worship of the Buddha is completed, a grand cultural and entertainment gathering is held to celebrate the end of the life of fasting in peace since the "Closing Gate Festival".

The main content of the celebration is firecrackers, sparks, lighting various elaborate lanterns, singing and dancing, etc.

In such a lively entertainment gathering, He Yuanying naturally wanted to participate in it, although Xia Kai was not interested in these activities, but for the joy of his lover's fun, he had to reluctantly follow suit.

On the day of the opening festival, there is a festive atmosphere everywhere. Early in the morning, every household is busy steaming colorful glutinous rice and making pastries, which are used to worship Buddha or give gifts to relatives and friends, and prepare for banquets.

He Yuanying could have been able to open the valley a long time ago, but since he was a child, he likes to eat glutinous rice, and when he sees colorful glutinous rice and all kinds of pastries, he can't even walk.

Xia Kai naturally had to be cheeky, find the owner of glutinous rice and pastries, ask or buy, and bring He Yuanying a lot of delicious food. And He Yuanying has a wonderful appetite, eating non-stop all the way, smiling like a flower, laughing endlessly!

Xia Kai saw He Yuanying's happy appearance, and the embarrassment of him looking for glutinous rice food flew out of the clouds in an instant, and he was familiar with the road to find those believers to ask for glutinous rice food, and he was never tired of it!

The two followed the Buddhist devotees to the Buddhist temple, and watched them use paper flowers, wax sticks, flower trees, food, coins to worship the Buddha and follow the monks to chant the scriptures together.

At the Buddha Worship Meeting, in addition to promoting Buddhist thoughts, the monks will also tell folklore, mythological stories, astronomical calendars and medical knowledge, etc., which will open the eyes of the two!

At night, devotees set off firecrackers, sparks, set off high lifts, light lanterns, dance, and dance lanterns around the villages to celebrate the end of the fasting period, indicating that they have entered the "open period" from the "closing period".

After this night, the villages return to their old amorous and romantic life, monks can go out of the Buddhist gate, believers can go far away, new houses can be built, young men can string girls, lovers can hold weddings.
