Buddhist palace maids want to be rich

Chapter 61 The Lantern Festival
Because Chu Tiankuo and Chu Mufeng usually live in the barracks, they don't have many opportunities to come out, so they don't keep a carriage at home-after all, when they are busy, they don't leave the barracks for a month or two or go outside the capital. It's all possible.

Chu Tiankuo arranged for someone to book a relatively luxurious carriage seven or eight days in advance.

It's not too early.When it comes to holidays, it is the time when it is hard to find a carriage in the dealership.

Xiaoman helped Jiang Zhixia into the carriage and sat down.

Chu Tiankuo and Chu Mufeng followed suit and sat down.

Uncle He sat on the shaft of the carriage with the coachman.

Aunt Zhang took the initiative to ask to stay at home to watch the house and refill the lamp oil, so as to take care of the lamp so as not to go out.

The carriage has a lot of space, even if there are four people sitting in it, it doesn't look particularly crowded.

Zhixia didn't think of herself as a lady, and she was not afraid of showing up at night, so she pulled up the small curtain next to the carriage to see the scenery as soon as she got in the carriage.

As a result, after walking for a while, I couldn't see anything but the darkness, and I was a little chilled by the cold wind.

"Let's put it down quickly. You won't be caught cold by the cold wind again, and you will get a wind chill." Sitting opposite Zhixia, seeing Zhixia's hair fluttering in the wind, Chu Tiankuo persuaded him.

After hearing this, Jiang Zhixia saw that he really couldn't see any scenery, so he put down the curtain directly.

As they walked, the carriage became slower and slower, and finally stopped moving.

"My lord, girl, we are almost at the gate of Dongfang. This carriage can't move anymore, why don't you guys come down and go in?" Outside the carriage, the voice of the coachman asked.

Jiang Zhixia opened the curtain next to him to take a look, and was really taken aback.

I saw a long motorcade lined up in front, and there were still people walking around.

"On weekdays, it takes about half an hour to walk from here to the entrance of the square. Today there are so many people, so it probably takes fifteen minutes?" Chu Tiankuo asked Jiang Zhixia hesitantly.

These grown men are naturally not afraid of walking too much, but they are afraid that Zhixia, a weak woman, will get tired if she walks too much.

"Brother Chu really thinks of me as a fragile young lady?" Jiang Zhixia teased while putting on her veiled hat, "I was born as a court lady, so this kind of physical work is not a big deal."

Jiang Zhixia is not afraid of walking more.Normally, she would often go to Feng'an Street to hang out wearing a veiled hat.

Not to mention, Zhixia would often run in the yard since she encountered a thief in the alley.

At first, Xiaoman felt strange.Later, after hearing Zhixia talk about the thief in the alley, Zhixia took her to exercise and run together.

Jiang Zhixia and the others got out of the carriage together. Looking at the surging crowd, they couldn't help clicking their tongues.

Chu Tiankuo turned around and said to Zhixia and the others: "There are many people today, and they may get separated later. If you get separated, don't panic, go directly to the gate of the workshop to find this carriage. I have already bought this carriage. Hired all day. He'll be here waiting for us to get back."

"Brother Chu, don't worry. We are not children anymore, nor are we ladies who don't go out of the door and don't go out. What can we say when we get lost?" Jiang Zhixia was a little disapproving.

They are all grown-ups—even if Xiaoman is not, she is still a doll who has been running around since she was a child, so there is nothing terrible about being separated.You can find your home even if you ask the way.

Chu Tiankuo looked at Zhixia's disapproval, and said seriously: "It's not particularly scary to be separated. It's just that there are many people today, and there are also many kidnappers. The kidnappers are all committed crimes in partnership. If they see you alone for a long time, they will directly kill you." If you fall down, what's the use of remembering the way?"

Jiang Zhixia looked at Chu Tiankuo's stern expression, and after listening to his words, he suddenly realized that his thinking was simple.

This is not the rule of law society of the previous life.Even in the previous life, didn’t there were traffickers abducting and selling children and adult women?They are more means.

"I remember, Big Brother Chu." Jiang Zhixia nodded solemnly, and Xiaoman listened and nodded repeatedly.

After a group of five people got off the carriage, they slowly followed the flow of people to the gate of Dongfangfang.

Jiang Zhixia and the others first lined up to enter the gate of Dongfang.After passing Fangmen, it is the west of Yong'an Street Bridge.

Today, because it is the Lantern Festival, Yongan Street is open to all the people in the capital, and because Yongan Street only has shops in the west of the bridge, vendors are allowed to come in and set up stalls to meet the various needs of people who go to the Lantern Festival.

However, because the sheds of officials and family members are behind the curtain in the east of the bridge, and the street is full of fish and dragons, so for safety reasons, the government has also sent many servants to patrol Yong'an Street, especially the servants on the east side of the bridge. many.

It may be because there are so few shops on Yong'an Street, so the several shops in Qiaoxi seem to have agreed to open shops of different natures.

On this side of the road are restaurants, teahouses, grain shops, grocery stores, and medical clinics for daily life; on the other side are silk and satin clothing shops, jewelry shops, embroidery shops, pen, ink, paper and inkstone shops, and book shops for exquisite life.

These shops can basically cover everyone's daily life.The bulk purchases of big families will go to the shops in Nanfang.

Tonight, these shops, except for restaurants and teahouses, are still open, and the rest are closed.

Both sides of the road are filled with various vendors.

"Girl, take a look at this lantern? How exquisite it is."

"My lord, how delicate is this wood carving?"

"Master, look at how cute this mud tiger is? Why don't you bring one to your young lady at home?"

"My lord, girl, sit down and rest your feet, and have a bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice balls?"

The sound of hawking and greetings came and went on the road, and pedestrians walking up and down the street.

There are young men in gorgeous dresses, young ladies who hug each other, and children who are dragged by their parents and are still running around.

Very lively.

It was Jiang Zhixia's first time participating in an ancient lantern festival.Looking at the past with both eyes, I was too busy. I just felt that this was bringing the painting in the Qingming Riverside Picture to my eyes.

Chu Tiankuo kept staring at Zhixia.There were several times when Zhixia was about to bump into someone, but was always pulled back by Chu Tiankuo.

Being pulled back, Zhixia smiled mischievously.

Sure enough, there were a lot of people on Yong'an Street, and not long after entering the street, Zhixia and his group got separated.

Zhixia watched Xiaoman being dragged by Uncle He.Chu Mufeng was pushed to the other side by himself, and she followed Chu Tiankuo closely.

Fortunately, I said it before, and I was mentally prepared for distraction. Zhixia was not particularly panicked, after all, Chu Tiankuo was still by her side.

"Brother Chu is indeed right. You see we just came in, and we were scattered by the flow of people." Zhi Xia said with a sigh.

"It's not the most busy time yet. I heard that the time for fireworks in the palace is scheduled to be at the end of the Xu Dynasty. At that time, there will be more people." Standing beside Zhixia, Chu Tiankuo said with a serious face.

"The end of the Xu Dynasty?" Zhi Xia silently calculated in his mind, it was probably around nine o'clock, "That's pretty good, can we go to the gate of the palace to watch the fireworks then?"

Chu Tiankuo nodded silently.

Another wave of people came, almost pushing Zhixia and Chu Tiankuo away.

Chu Tiankuo quickly grabbed Jiang Zhixia's sleeve, "Zhixia, I'm being abrupt. But there are too many people, I'm afraid..."

Jiang Zhixia looked at the hand holding his sleeve, and said nonchalantly: "Well, it's okay, I'm also afraid of being washed away. At that time, if I encounter bad people, I will have nothing to do."

What is this grabbing a sleeve?

In the previous life, when there was a real danger, the rescuer had to give hugs instead of grabbing hands.

　The code word is not easy, do not like point ×.Overhead dynasty, refuse to be elegant!

　　Thank you all so much for your support!
