Plane Mall: I became a group favorite by hoarding goods
Chapter 523 Chapter 523 This is called a slap in the face
The lanterns are shining brightly to reflect the new year, the soup is round and the blessings are round;
A good night and beautiful scenery welcome the festival, everything goes well and money goes well;
Shengge sings good news, people are round and their hearts are round.
Cheng Xi followed Shen Xingluo and followed the flow of people while admiring the ancient scenery, and deeply experienced the joy of the Lantern Festival that belonged to the ancients.
Of course, dating is also the first time in this life.
Overall, it feels pretty good to have someone paying for something while someone is protecting you.
At that time, Shen Xingluo was already carrying several small packages, including plum blossom cakes from Feng's shop on the east side of the street and handicrafts woven by passers-by.
"The coming year will be good, and today's excitement is indeed a good start."
The man beside him predicted directly, taking advantage of the fact that no one else could hear him, "Would you like to see Iron Tree and Silver Flower?"
"Yes, where is it?"
Iron flower, a proper intangible cultural heritage.
Even in modern times, it is not something you can just watch when you want to.
"Dayan's Iron Tree Silver Flower has only been rumored for a hundred years. It is a rare spectacle. At this time every year, it is performed in the open area near Changyuan Lake."
Shen Xingluo held her hand and walked toward a wide area, while learning about its development history.
"Unlike your place, the Iron Tree Silver Flower here was accidentally discovered by a folk craftsman. Rich businessmen thought it was festive and hired people to perform at high prices. It gradually evolved into a troupe-like organization."
"Do you still know the history of blacksmithing in our place? I'm afraid you have torn through the books in the space."
"It's not that exaggerated. It's just recorded in the history books and I looked at it a few times."
"So humble?"
"It's honesty."
Cheng Xi was very satisfied, "Keep it up."
Shen Xingluo laughed and said yes.
Blacksmithing is an activity that takes up a lot of space, and its gorgeous effect is very eye-catching at night, so you don't need to take too much effort to find their exact location.
Cheng Xi looked at the crowd getting closer and closer, and suddenly felt emotional.
In modern times, the iron flower originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was an activity held by folk craftsmen to worship the Supreme Lord. It later evolved into a more comprehensive folk celebration ceremony.
Now in another time and space, although the origins are different, they have all evolved into a kind of celebration.
Therefore, the essence of human beings pursuing a better life is the same no matter where they are. Most people’s wishes are simple and unpretentious, having enough food and clothing, having a happy family, and occasionally watching a heart-pleasing performance.
That's enough.
"Bang! Whoosh whoosh-"
A loud bang rang in my ears, and then the sky was filled with stars and stars bloomed in the sky. The magnificent scene of fiery trees and silver flowers that never sleeps unfolded in front of me, gorgeous and colorful.
"Wow!"
"sky--"
Suddenly, people around were cheering and singing.
Cheng Xi was dazzled by such original blacksmith flowers. Although they were not as colorful as fireworks, they had a different kind of charm.
The fire, trees and silver flowers are shocking the sky and the earth, it is suspected that the Milky Way is exploding in the sky.
"Brother Chengqi, I want them to perform this at my birthday party!"
A delicate and willful female voice sounded, breaking the harmonious scene where everyone was enjoying themselves.
Cheng Xi followed the voice and saw a luxurious ship docked by Changyuan Lake. The speaker was a beautiful girl wearing a brocade skirt standing on the bow of the ship.
There is an even more eye-catching man beside the girl, handsome in appearance and gorgeously dressed.
Behind them were guards holding swords and maids and servants carrying fruit plates. The man seemed to be unable to bear the girl's request and responded to her request properly.
The craftsmen who performed the Iron Tree Silver Flower chose a very open place, which is still a certain distance away from Changyuan Lake. According to ordinary people's hearing, the girl's voice cannot be heard. However, the two people have sharp facial features and are still standing closest to the lake. The place.
Shen Xingluo frowned lightly, glanced at the center of the lake and looked back expressionlessly.
Cheng Xi keenly felt that his mood suddenly hit rock bottom.
"know?"
she asked the man standing on the luxury ship.
"The eldest prince, Fu Chengqi."
"What about the woman?"
"If your guess is correct, it should be Chu Xinyu, the young princess of the Duke of Chu's mansion."
Wow.
Several relationship chains quickly emerged in Cheng Xi's mind. The eldest prince was born to Concubine Shu, and his maternal wife was the Duke of Chu. Therefore, the men and women on the ship should be cousins.
"Cousin and cousin are a good match. The ancients never deceived me."
she teased.
The little gestures between the two people were very intimate. Anyone who saw it could guess the friendship in the eyes of the younger daughter. They spent the Lantern Festival together to swim in the lake. The relationship was not too obvious.
"But I remember that the eldest prince has a concubine?"
The daughter-in-law of the Duke of Chu's family couldn't cheat on the eldest prince. Even if she was willing to marry, Concubine Shu and the Duke of Chu would not agree.
Shen Xingluo's face was grave, and his tone was contemptuous, as if he didn't want to mention it more, "The eldest prince's concubine is currently pregnant with Liujia, and it is rumored that she is in poor health."
Oh.
what?
Cheng Xi paused, his expression a little unbearable.
If someone else had said this, she wouldn't have thought much about it, but Shen Xingluo emphasized it so much and had such a gloomy look on his face that it was hard not to make people guess the meaning behind his words.
It is said that most of them are water-based and the salary is about the same.
Leaving your wife, who is in poor health and pregnant, at home to accompany your cousin to the lake on such an important day as the Lantern Festival? Ah, let's find a home in advance.
"The eldest prince plans to leave his mother and keep his son, and by the way, he will have a life-long event?" The daughter of the Duke of Chu will only be the main wife, and the only way is to kill the original one to make room for her, so that she can be considered legitimate.
Shen Xingluo nodded invisibly, "There is only one female dependent among the younger generation of Duke Chu, and she is young. The eldest prince was still a child when he got married."
"But it doesn't have to be a marriage, right? It's impossible for the Duke of Chu to stand in someone else's family if you have a concubine."
"Miss Chu doesn't think so."
"."
Cheng Xi twitched her lips, "Can the eldest princess's natal family respond?"
If your daughter dies and you still have a grandson or granddaughter, aren't you afraid that Miss Chu Guogong will marry her first wife's child?
"My lady is smart."
Shen Xingluo thought of the great achievements of the eldest prince in his previous life, "Who stipulates that only one major life-long event can be done at a time?"
Cheng Xi was stunned.
"When it comes to marrying a wife and having children, you ancients not only won at the starting line but were also ready to overtake at any time. I admire you."
"."
What should I do if my partner’s thinking is too out-of-the-box?
The No. 1 Scholar could only hold his nose and admit it, "Let's go shopping elsewhere."
After admiring the gorgeous iron trees and silver flowers, the two planned to go home along Changyuan Lake and take a look at the lanterns along the way. Along the way, Cheng Xi guessed the riddle correctly on a whim and got a rabbit lantern. He turned around and stuffed it into Shen Xingluo's palm. inside.
Shen Xingluo looked at the cakes in his right hand and the lantern in his left hand, and became unusually silent.
Cheng Xi successfully freed his right hand from being held and walked with wind in his eyes.
"Hey, isn't that the daughter of the household minister? The man next to him looks familiar."
"Third Prince, Fu Chengxian."
"Looking at my memory, I do look somewhat similar to the eldest prince. But if I remember correctly, he is also getting married. Is it possible that there is also a concubine in the family who is in poor health?"
"The third prince is the daughter of the empress, and he is the legitimate son of the Holy Emperor."
Therefore, even a concubine has huge gold content, and it is okay to marry a legitimate daughter of the third grade.
Shen Xingluo explained in a low voice, "Song Shangshu has always maintained neutrality in charge of the household department, and his attitude towards the princes has not been biased. He has always avoided contact between the female family members and the royal family."
Cheng Xi understood, no wonder he looked at the third prince with some attentiveness.
But how do you say that?
A brave girl is afraid of pestering her husband.
"I was wrong."
"what?"
“It turns out that human beings’ joys and sorrows are not connected.”
Cheng Xi sighed longly: "Just now I lamented that most people's desires are simple and simple, they just want food, food, family and happiness, but I turned around and was slapped in the face."
Look at the calculations of these princes, it almost broke her face.
Shen Xingluo: "."
***
A good Lantern Festival Lantern Festival turned into a blind date, which the two of them did not expect.
Perhaps it was because they met two pairs of unmarried men and women who were powerful people in the capital, and then they recognized a few familiar faces, which was quite exciting.
Fortunately, the distance between the two parties was not too close, so a lot of awkward exchanges were avoided.
Cheng Xi secretly drew a few family trees for them in her mind. She was so surprised that most of the officials from the imperial court were drawn in. The more she thought about it, the more amazed she became.
In short, the powerful are a circle.
When they returned home, the others also wandered back to the Shen family's courtyard. Cheng Daqian and Mr. Xu smelled a bit drunk, and Shen Xingqi seemed to be very happy, directing the rest of the group to hang the lanterns on the wall.
Cheng Xi was almost blinded by the dense lanterns in the yard.
"Why are there so many?"
Wang Shu's mouth twitched at the side.
Can there be not too many? The second lady almost walked from the street to the end of the street, and even picked the most beautiful lantern king in each shop, and didn't want any of the others. The shopkeepers who were pinched almost cried.
"Sister-in-law, look, does this peacock-shaped lantern look good?"
"nice."
When Cheng Xi saw the little girl begging for praise, she naturally had to satisfy her, "Why is our Xingqi so talented? Are you planning to become famous in one battle?"
"My brother and sister-in-law taught me well."
Oh, this mouth is so sweet!
Shen Xingqi snorted and said, "I didn't mean to guess the lantern king in someone's shop on purpose. I just had bad luck and met a nasty guy."
Hey?
what's the situation?
After a moment, Cheng Xi knew what happened.
Tonight, she and Shen Xingluo were not the only ones to meet dating couples. Shen Xingqi was no exception, but she met Xie Zhi, a girl from the Xie family.
"I didn't want to talk to her at first, but she just used me as a raft to show how talented she is."
How about being used as a control group?
After all, she is also the younger sister of the number one scholar. If one day there is a rumor that "a man born in the city is not well versed in literature", where will her brother's face go?
We can't take this loss, we absolutely can't.
"So you showed off a little bit?"
"This is called a slap in the face!"
"Honestly, have you seen anything weird recently?"
Shen Xingqi suddenly felt guilty, "Well, I was originally looking for a book on the tablet to read."
Unexpectedly, I clicked on the novel APP.
Cheng Xi: "."
