Chapter 363 Red Makeup All over the Floor
The two hooks are pulled together, the big neutral flag is the boundary, the drum is loud and the noise is made, so that each other is drawn, and the one who is defeated is the loser, which is called tug of war.
"Exercise!"
"Didn't you eat at night?"
"If you win, I will invite everyone to eat floating yuanzi!"
"Xiao Dao is here to help everyone."
The two ends of the banner were full of people, a rough count, more than a thousand people, noisy and noisy, including princes and nobles, ordinary people, and monks and priests.
Because, in the ordinary life day after day and year after year, only festivals like Shangyuan can break the mediocrity and make people forget how hard and hard life is in a short carnival.
Among the crowd, Lu Li saw Huren father and son selling cakes and food on Pingkangfang Street. They chanted and pulled the rope vigorously.
Miss Qianrui's eyes were bright, and she smiled and said, "Mr. Lang, are you going to join them?"
"It's not challenging." Lu Li shook his head and looked forward.
Anfumen is located on the west side of the imperial city, and there is still a square away from here, but the light from the lamp wheel still reaches here.
You know, there are two kinds of Chang'an lamps.
One is held for the government, the twenty-foot-high lamp wheel in front is decorated with silk brocade, gold and silver, and 50,000 lanterns are hung. From a distance, it looks like a flower tree full of rays of light.
And the Lantern Street just passed by is a folk lantern festival, which is also not bad. During the Zhongzong Dynasty, Li Xian and the Queen went to watch the lanterns and have fun with the people on the Shangyuan Festival. The maid let them out and allowed them to go out and play.
"If you don't want to go to the tug-of-war, Mr. Lang, can you wait for Nunu?"
Against the backdrop of the fire, Miss Qianrui looked more and more beautiful. She raised her jade fingers, looked not far away, and said softly: "I am going to meet Aunt Zi."
"Go, have you brought the things used for the ceremony?"
"It's already ready."
With Lu Li's support, Miss Qianrui got off her horse and trotted all the way not far away.
Zigu God is in the dark under the moon.
This fairy sister had a very hard life. She married someone else as a concubine, but she was envied by the old woman. She was often called to do dirty work, and finally died on the day of Shangyuan Festival.
Because of this, women spontaneously worship Zigu, which is not only to sympathize with Zigu as a concubine, but also to pray for her incarnation as a god to bless her to meet her beloved.
Of course, men are prohibited from participating in this event, so Lu Li didn't take the liberty to follow, but just watched from afar.
Most of the girls who participated in the ceremony were young girls who have not yet left the cabinet. I saw them taking out the purple statues of aunts tied with cloth and straw in advance, and chanting congratulatory words: "My son-in-law is not here, and Aunt Cao will go back. My sister-in-law can come out." play."
"When the son-in-law is away, Aunt Cao will also go back, and my sister-in-law can play."
The same is true for Miss Qianrui. She took out a puppet and held it in her hand with an extremely devout expression.
Because, like her, a prodigal woman, superficially beautiful, is sought after by princes and nobles, but the thing she hopes most in her heart is to leave Pingkangfang and marry a good man as a concubine.
Zi Gu, your husband is not here, the old lady has returned to her mother's house, come out and play.
Lu Li was filled with emotions, and sighed, "This is the first time I see such a simple greeting."
Xi law.
On the side, the black-maned horse said that its master was right. If it hadn't been able to speak, it would have wanted to put Lu Li on the shoulders and persuade him not to be a scumbag.
Not long after, the ceremony was over, and every girl was smiling like flowers, as if they had really received Zigu's response and blessing.
"Why does this gentleman hide his face?"
Before Miss Qianrui came back, a beautiful figure appeared in front of Lu Li.
She is wearing a light blue narrow-sleeved jacket, a lacquered gold cloak on her shoulders, and a red skirt with gold flowers on her bottom. She has a protruding figure.
However, the most surprising thing is that this woman didn't put on any makeup, and her face was so plain, with a provocative look on the corners of her mouth and brows.
Behind the ghost mask, Lu Li said helplessly, "I'm ugly, and it's a big festival. I'm afraid to scare everyone when I walk on the street, so I have to wear a mask as a last resort."
"Yeah?"
The woman raised her brows, and became more curious in her heart. With a frivolous smile, she said, "Take it off and let me have a look."
Lu Li was not the only one wearing a mask on the street, but those people were either children or jugglers, and he had a tall figure, an extraordinary temperament, and a black-maned horse that was extremely handsome. Such a strange combination, how could it not arouse people's curiosity?
Why are you so arrogant.
Lu Li was a little displeased, and was about to leave when he heard a suspicious voice next to his ear: "Your Majesty, who is this lady?"
After welcoming Zigu, Miss Qianrui became more and more happy. However, when she came back and found Lu Li surrounded by a group of women, her smile froze instantly.
Traveling with a group of maidservants, and acting so ostentatiously, her identity must not be simple.
At this time, a favored servant girl raised her face and replied on her behalf: "My wife is the wife of Guo Guo. Today, the saint will call you aunt when he sees her."
Mrs. Guo Guo accepted the Lord's favor and entered the palace gate on horseback in Pingming.
But he dislikes the color of fat and powder, so he lightly sweeps his eyebrows towards the Supreme.
It turned out to be her.
After hearing the maidservant's self-reporting, Lu Li didn't think it was surprising. Mrs. Guo Guo, the third sister of Yang Taizhen, had just entered Chang'an some time ago, and the sage directly named her a first-rank Mrs. Guo.
In terms of official rank, he is much higher than Dali Qing, and he has the capital of arrogance.
I heard that when she first came to Chang'an, the lady of the country had no residence, so she took her servants to rob the mansion of the former prime minister Wei Anshi. At that time, all the sons of Wei's family were enjoying the scenery in the ancestral house. She directly said that she wanted to buy it, but who would sell it? Lose the house left by the ancestors?
There is no need to repeat the twists and turns, anyway, the courtyard with excellent Fengshui is now owned by Mrs. Guo Guo.
Lu Li didn't want to have too much contact with the arrogant and coquettish beautiful woman in front of him, so he crossed his hands and said, "It turns out that Mrs. Guo Guo is in person. I, Dali Qing Lu Li, will bring my female companion to watch the lantern tonight, so let's go first."
The subtext is obvious: everyone plays their own way, we are not familiar with it.
As for whether doing so would offend others, it was simply out of Lu Li's consideration.
Mrs. Guo Guo is honorable and honorable, but she also bullied Mrs. Wei Anshi and passed away for more than 20 years.
What's more, he will return in a few days, let alone a Mrs. Guo, even if Yang Taizhen plays tricks on him, he doesn't care.
"It turned out to be Lu Qing."
Mrs. Guo Guo covered her mouth and laughed lightly, the Japanese pendant on her head swaying with the laughter: "I will go to the palace this afternoon to see my brother-in-law, and I heard he talked about Mr. Lang."
"My younger sister also said that Lu Siqing is handsome and full of nobility, and he is the number one figure in my Tang Dynasty."
Hmm... Anyway, being praised by Tang Minghuang and Yang Yuhuan, Lu Li was somewhat flattered, and the speaker was a charming and beautiful woman, so the preconceived disgust in his heart was reduced a lot.
"The sage and the lady praised it absurdly."
"What about Gao Weng? He and his slaves also praised Si Qing's jade quality as the pillar of the country."
Seeing the friendly attitude of the beautiful woman in front of him, Lu Li knew that unfortunately, he was being targeted again.
Note: In the official history, the three sisters of the Yang family were granted the title of Mrs. Guo in Tianbao Qizai.
