I rely on residual blood to repair my longevity

Chapter 80

Changsheng has been preparing for the lantern festival at night for a long time, especially Xuejin, she no longer knows how to smear mud and pot ash on Xuejin's face.Because it is in the county town, it is more convenient to buy some rouge and gouache.Perhaps it was because of Xuejin's critical eyes, Changsheng was surprisingly talented when he applied powder on him.

After busying for a long time, when Xue Jin looked in the mirror again, he unexpectedly found that he was three points different from his previous appearance.Obviously, the nose and eyes are still the same, but now they are not as dazzling as before. Seeing himself like this, Xue Jin will not feel so disgusted.

Therefore, Xuejin is not so repulsive about the lantern festival tonight.

"All right."

Because Xuejin disliked wearing a hat, Changsheng could only do everything to make him look like this.Fortunately, Xuejin was more satisfied, so they stayed until nightfall, and the two drove an ox cart to the county town.

I have already booked a hotel before Changsheng, and I can stay in the city tonight without worrying about the curfew.I have to say that Xue Jin sometimes feels that Changsheng doesn't look like a child at all, how considerate it is.

The two first stored the ox cart in the inn, and then they went to the Lantern Festival together.Although the small county where Changsheng is located is not a big county, it has to be said that the customs that have been passed down here for a long time are indeed special.The lanterns here are very unique.

From Xue Jin's point of view, although it is not as exquisite as the one in the palace, it still has a special flavor.

For example, the layer of skin on the outside of the lantern here is not ordinary paper, but a unique local plant called papyrus.This grass is available just in time for this season.After drying, the stems are torn apart and laid flat, and then a large paper is obtained.And these papers are thin and transparent. Although they are not as good as other papers for writing, they are excellent for making lanterns.

Just like the revolving lantern with a height of half a person hanging in front of the inn, the pattern drawn on it is unexpectedly clear under the light of the dim candlelight inside.During the slow rotation, a lingering folk tale appeared in front of my eyes.

Xue Jin stood in front of the door and looked at it for a while, then snorted disdainfully, and walked forward.Changsheng has raised him for so long, and he has already understood that this person thinks he is good-looking but doesn't want others to see it.

Keeping up with the awkward Xue Jin, the two walked around the corner and entered a whole bright Lantern Street.

This street is just ordinary during the day, but at this time, it is really intoxicatingly beautiful.

All the shops and households on both sides of the street hung out their elaborate lanterns.Rabbit lamp, lotus lamp, pomegranate lamp, beauty lamp...

There are countless, competing for beauty.

The originally dark sky also became dazzling because of these lanterns.The two were shocked by this scene, and they couldn't take their eyes off it for a long time.This is a visual treat, it's really beautiful.

At this time, some vendors enthusiastically sell their own lanterns.Xuejin didn't want it, but Changsheng picked out a rabbit lantern for him, and he took a pomegranate lantern. The two of them carried the lantern, and quickly merged with the lively crowd around them.

Both Changsheng and Xuejin are not lively temperaments, but once people are in a lively environment, they will naturally become lively.Even if the two of them wouldn't choose to jump up and down, the joyful mood really existed.Even Xue Jin, who wanted to die, was infected by the lively atmosphere at this time, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

The children running back and forth on the street held all kinds of food in their hands, and the most popular one was a fruit called 'ball'.This thing is only the size of a thumb, with a mellow and soft taste. After being cooked, it is coated with a layer of sugar, which is very delicious.It is the children's favorite snack.

When these children ran away, Changsheng heard the concerned shouts of adults behind him.

"Be careful not to fall!"

"Running so fast will break your leg!"

The children seemed to know that their parents would not easily break their legs on such a lively day, so one by one, they became more noisy than usual.

Chang Sheng took Xue Jin to one side to avoid being knocked down by these children.Xue Jin took a look at Changsheng, and then at those cheerful children who were running incredibly fast, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Originally, at the age of longevity, it is also the time to make love at the knees of parents, so why is he living alone in that lifeless small courtyard?And there is only one grandfather who died.

However, Xue Jin felt that he was dying, and there was no need to search so much on this kind of matter, so he never asked.

"what happened?"

Seemingly aware of Xue Jin's eyes, Chang Sheng couldn't help but look sideways, but only got a sideways look that turned away quickly.

"It's nothing."

Changsheng didn't care.There was still a theater troupe tonight, and the two walked around and arrived at the theater troupe.Probably because there are relatively few activities at night, so it is rare to have such a lively event, and everyone is very interested.A large crowd gathered around the stage.The two of Changsheng could hardly squeeze through, but fortunately, the two of them are now hearing and seeing well, even if they stand far away, they can still hear and see.

This seems to be a drunken concubine.

"The concubine and the king are ordinary, I only hate that this body is weak and weak, unable to solve your worries and problems..."

Changsheng listened very seriously.I don't know who arranged this play, but it is very suitable for ordinary people, at least everyone can understand it.Although Xue Jin felt that it was too vernacular, but at this time it was just for fun, and no one was so serious.

Just as the two listened carefully, the two old men in front chattered nonsense.

"This troupe sings well."

"Where? Don't you remember the troupe called Rongchang? They sang in our county for several days. That figure, singing voice, and clothes make him look good!"

"I also know that troupe, and they really sang well. But didn't it mean that the stage collapsed when they sang operas in the villages and towns below?"

"That's because I was scared away because the stage collapsed. Otherwise, the troupe sang much better than this one. I still remember the name of the best play they sang? It seems to be called Prince?"

"Prince Dajin's tour notes. Why are you so forgetful? But I think, what's wrong with that troupe singing a show about a subjugated prince, or a country that is hostile to Daqin, maybe it's because of retribution?"

"What are you farting? Otsu has been subjugated for more than 40 years, where is there any hostility..."

"Whoa!"

The two old people heard the voice behind them, looked back, and found that a tall and thin young man had dropped the lantern in his hand, and didn't care much about it. Looking back, the two of them got together again to discuss their favorite theater troupe .
