Tang Dynasty good man

Ever since I got the news that Qin Yu was stationed in Shanzhou, my lazy heart suddenly became aroused. On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, I hurriedly returned to Wangjiazhuangzi in Chang'an.What is gratifying is that the entire Juyou was safe and sound, and not even a single firefight occurred. It is only mentioned that the civil strife in Western Turks may further escalate.Regarding the peace of Shanzhou where Qin Yu lives, there will not be too much conflict with Tubo in a short time.

The strategic focus of the imperial court this year is Liaodong, and it is only a defense against Tubo and Turks. As long as they do not go crazy, the imperial court will not take the initiative to attack. Internet writers are possessed, ready to rewrite history.

I can feel a little more at ease, and I will go to the street to see the lanterns. I have been nesting in the deep mountains and old forests for ten days.

Chang'an City usually implements a curfew.However, on the three days before and after the Lantern Festival, the curfew restrictions are lifted to facilitate the people to enjoy the lanterns, which is called "release the night".During these rare three nights, everyone from princes and nobles to traffickers and pawns went out to watch.As a result, the roads in Chang'an City were blocked by cars and horses, and the crowds were turbulent and lively.

On the twelfth day of the Lunar New Year, the first day the imperial court lifted the curfew.Without Ying, the second daughter, and Lanling, I was alone, gnawing on the freshly baked 'flax cake' without any worries, leading the horse and following the crowd aimlessly. Stop, others go, I go too, round lanterns, long lanterns, flat lanterns... don't let any one go, show them all one by one.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is also known as the Shangyuan Festival, and the tradition of making lanterns has a long history.In order to show that the common people live and work in peace and contentment, the empire is prosperous and prosperous, and the superiors enjoy the same joy with the people, the imperial court has already started to build a "palace shed" and a "light market" as early as the first year of the year.All kinds of lanterns are lit together at night, and the city is full of brilliant lights, which is really spectacular. It has been a long time since I have witnessed this kind of night scene, as if I have returned to the 21st century when the streets are full of neon lights.

I found myself separated from the crowd without knowing it, the street suddenly became deserted, and the alley was full of me alone.Wow!What a big lantern.I took my horse and strolled to a gate building. There were two huge yellow lanterns hanging high above them. They were so big and bright that they were so bright that I couldn’t tell what was written on them. If I put them down, I could easily It's too powerful to get in.

"This little brother, Beiyuan Forbidden Area, please stay."

"Ah!" Looking up at the giant lantern, I was taken aback by the sudden voice, my hairs stood on end, my scalp shaved, and I stared at the lantern for too long, and suddenly I couldn't see clearly: "Who? Who is talking?" ?" Looking intently into the doorway under the lantern, everything was blurred.

"Brother, please turn around, this is the forbidden area of ​​Beiyuan." This time the voice was a little louder, and the tone was much more severe.

"Understood, let's go." It seems that I have strayed into a certain place of the royal family. I finally saw several guards stationed on both sides of the gate. Since they were all wearing black coats, they stood against the wall. In the dark, it's hard to see.Hurry up and leave this place, it will be miserable if you are taken down by someone as a spy.When he was about to pull the horse out of the alley, unfortunately, a large carriage came in at the entrance of the alley, and the road was immediately blocked.I couldn't get through, and I was afraid of being scolded by the guards, so I didn't dare to retreat into the alley, so I was in a dilemma.

"Who's blocking the way? Are you still not backing away?" A man dressed as a royal guard crawled beside the luxury carriage, and came to me with a straight face, "Back back and let the car drive past."

"Oh." I turned my horse and headed towards the guard at the door with a helpless expression, and cupped my hands, "Brothers, I'll go in first and make way for you, I'm sorry."

I vaguely saw a guard waving impatiently at me, and then I dared to lead the horse and walked a little deeper into the alley. I estimated the distance and stopped, not daring to take a step further.I am very afraid of the majesty of the royal family. In the TV series, the scenes of beatings or heads falling to the ground made me shudder.

The carriage completely blocked my sight, and I didn't dare to look at those people. I was dazed and waited anxiously for the carriage to leave. I let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly left this place of right and wrong. I was terrified for a while.

"Brother, stop." A guard came up and blocked my way, cupped his hands, "Please follow me to record it, it's a routine business."

"Ah?" Looks like I met a big shot today, it's hard life.At this time, what else can I do besides obeying the appointment? "Okay, okay. Excuse me, please lead the way, and I will try my best to cooperate." I followed the guards to a small courtyard at the end of the alley.

The inside seemed to belong to the Beiyuan guards. They followed into a big house, looking around with fear and anxiety in their eyes, and finally realized what it was like to be in a situation.The level of this place is too high, and they all belong to the fierce people like royal guards and Ouchi masters. You can tell from the officer's costumes and strong and burly figures sitting behind the big case table that they are all ruthless characters.

Fortunately, I went to Youwuwei's subordinate office today to read the military newspaper and brought the military badge.Quickly took off the waist badge and handed it over, they are all colleagues who are not paid by the army, so it is reasonable to give them some face.

"People from Youwuwei, why did you come here?" The officer behind the desk asked in a deep voice, his face under the candlelight was slightly hideous.

"I came out to look at the lights today, and walked around inadvertently, only to realize that I made a mistake when I came back to my senses." I said honestly.It seems that this guy in front of him is more responsible, and the friendship of his comrades in the army can't impress him, so it's better to be honest.

Sure enough, this guy was not as serious as usual. After asking about his name, age, marriage, etc., he was short of asking how many times he got up at night.

Seeing my sincerity, the officer nodded in satisfaction, "It's a felony to trespass on the royal forbidden area and hit a car!" When he said this, his eyes were full of evil spirits, which scared me into a cold sweat. "But I think you acted unintentionally, and after Zhongliang, the higher-ups didn't blame it..." Just as he said this, after a general came in from the back door and whispered a few words in his ear, the tense face of the officer suddenly relaxed. , instantly filled with smiles, and laughed loudly like Hong Zhong: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! It turns out that Wang Canjun, who is famous in Chang'an, was just a misunderstanding. In Yang Quan's place, I hope you forgive me for being rude."

"Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand." I was a little at a loss, the contrast between the front and the back made me uncomfortable, "I made the mistake first, admit the punishment, accept the punishment." Before you figure out the matter, it is better to be honest, The guy who makes a living here doesn't have a fuel-efficient lamp, so don't offend him.

"What's wrong is not bad. The above said that we will not pursue it. Where is there a mistake?" Yang Quan came over and took my arm and kindly pulled me into the yard, "Brother is a martial artist. I really had to do it just now. Mo Don't blame me. I have an important job today, so it's hard to accompany me, so I will come to the door in person to plead guilty some other day." Turning around, he ordered: "Bring Brother Wang's horse here."

"Are you able to go?" I was a little nervous, and asked cautiously, "Don't you want to pursue it?"

"Of course I can go. Brother Wang can stay if he wants to stay. We have an errand while we're staying. Let's go to 'Xiao Mingyan' and have fun." When talking about 'Xiao Mingyan', his face showed With the obscene smile unique to men, the atmosphere was enlivened a lot.

"Don't dare, dare not." I hastily declined.Just kidding, I went to prostitutes in the early morning, so I can only go back tomorrow morning, "It's too late, my brother is afraid that the family will worry about it, so I have to go back. Why don't you do it next time..."

Yang Quan was just talking. Seeing my refusal was just what he wanted, he politely sent me out of the alley, and after walking a long distance, he saw him waving goodbye behind, which was not ordinary hospitality.

Coming out of the alley, after turning a few turns, I finally saw the bustling scene outside again, only to find that my back was soaked, and I shivered with the cold wind of early spring.The quietness in the alley and the hustle and bustle outside are like a regional paradise.

The aura of the royal family is too great, too terrifying, and it's not something people like me can bear.The experience of going to court made me a little scared.Apart from Lan Ling, there are no other acquaintances in the royal family.What Lan Ling said to me just now couldn’t have been the good words. Today she will be in the villa to receive some princesses who are usually good friends. She will never come back, and she is a married princess, so there is no reason to run to Beiyuan at night. .I have an advantage, I don't think about things that can't be thought of, I don't have the habit of digging into horns, maybe someone in the guards recognized the great strategist Wang Xiu, and hurriedly reported to the superior.A military strategist is not an ordinary person. He was shocked by my name and immediately sent me out obediently.

Looking at the lights is bad luck, all the good mood is gone, go home to watch the lights, Ying is still happy to go back to decorate today, there must be lights and festoons at home.After experiencing the unhappiness just now, when I think of Ying now, I feel warm in my heart. It is still at ease to have a wife at home.When passing through the lamp market, I specially bought two exquisite painted pottery lamps in front of the bed. They are also unique when lit on the edge of the Kang at night. Ying and the second daughter must like them.

Due to the incident of breaking the forbidden area, I felt a sense of resistance to the noisy lantern.On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Lanling personally took Ying and her two daughters to the city to watch the lantern show, and I happened to be happy to watch the house.There is no tradition of eating Yuanxiao in this era, but it doesn’t bother me. Grinding rice noodles and adjusting sugar fillings are easy. Cut the sugar fillings into pieces and soak them in water, and shake them with rice noodles in a sieve, then dip them in water again, and shake them again. , It rolled up like a snowball, the housekeeper and the kitchen handyman were dumbfounded.

In the middle of the night, when Lanling's carriage sent Ying and the second daughter back, the hot Lantern Festival was served, and the family of three sat around the kang table, hugging the well-behaved second daughter, and listening to Ying's excited talk about Chang'an Lantern City. In the beautiful scenery, under the soft light of painted pottery lamps along the kang, taste the glutinous and sweet Lantern Festival, this is the perfect Lantern Festival.
