green bamboo dream

During the annual Shangyuan Festival, the streets are decorated with lights and festoons like daytime. The mountains are full of moonlight and lights, and the streets are covered with fragrant cars and treasures. The brightly colored lanterns are either colorful or clever, and the crowds are bustling and laughing.

The streets of Fangshi in the night are paved with brocade embroidery, full of brilliance.Gorgeous lights lit up the city walls, and dazzling fireworks bloomed on the sky.

Occasionally, rich sons with beautifully decorated clothes can be seen wandering among them, or a few people gather together, laughing and commenting on the young girls in the crowd.

"Now those elders and lords in Beijing really don't know how to discipline the children of the clan. Look at all these frivolous looks. They are useless in the country and the king. They only play cockfights and dogs all day long, and go shopping in buildings. Ji, bullying others...the emperor doesn't care about it." Princess Zhuyi put down the curtain in disappointment and said with a frown.

Sitting in the carriage, Yu Zhu felt amused when she heard this, and gently withdrew her hand that lifted the curtain, "The emperor can't take care of this matter, and you adults don't necessarily want to take care of it."

Seeing you again soon, Yu Zhu simply didn't keep her mouth shut.

"It's also a finger, and when you stick it out, there are different lengths, let alone subdividing the sons of concubine, elder and younger, Huiyu, and mother's favorite... Except for very rare accidents, this is the case. If The children in the clan can all make progress, I am afraid that things will only be several times more troublesome than it is now."

"Besides, if you think about it, the people in Beijing know that this road is the most prosperous street in Beijing, and it is also the place where the rich and powerful children hang out the most during the Lantern Festival night. How can a girl who really has no idea come here in a fancy dress?" Come? There are hundreds of markets in Beijing where you can guess lantern riddles and watch fireworks, where can you go? Knowing what the consequences of being spotted will be, why do you want to join in the fun?"

Flies don't bite seamless eggs. This sentence is very reasonable. There are many girls from good families, but there are also many girls who are "motivated" like little Aunt Chen.

There is no law or human rights mentioned here, just ignore it, once you are interested, you will rarely be able to escape.Although the law protects law-abiding people, as long as this kind of matter is not brought to light, which level of officials will not turn a blind eye?

Just like Rue Xiang's elder brother, with Cheng Xunxun protecting him, he still ended up in such a miserable end.

"According to the Second Wife's wishes, the girl came out to guess a lantern riddle on the night of Shangyuan. Is there anything wrong?" Princess Zhuyi smiled coldly. Wang Fa!"

Yu Zhu saw the resentment in her eyes, suddenly felt bored, thought about it and stopped talking.

Of course it is true, but can such a thing be measured by whether it is wrong or right?You are right, so you will not be punished and unlucky?

Could it be that the princesses of Zhuyi have stayed in Mongolia for too long, and their thinking seems to be not very suitable for life in the Central Plains. Not all the people are as bold and passionate as Mongolian men and women, and they can have a hearty fight on the street of.

The carriage arrived at a place, Princess Zhuyi suddenly signaled to stop, turned her head and smiled with Yu Zhu: "Look at that lamp stand!"

Following the direction pointed by Princess Zhuyi's fingertips painted in bright red Dan Kou, Yuzhu saw an exquisite and unusual ink round fan, which was tied high by the stall owner on the hanging rope between the wall lamps, against the bright lights. Underneath, the hidden silver threads on the fan surface embroidered with splashed ink are shredded and bright, as if someone picked up the starlight in the sky, quietly shining with fascinating dreamy threads of light—it is very attractive among the colorful red lanterns Attention.

Are you there yet?

Yu Zhu's eyes darkened, but her face showed a look of disenchantment, and she reluctantly said, "Since you like it, let's stop for a while."

Because it was too far away to see clearly, Princess Zhuyi put on a veiled hat, and then pulled Yuzhu out of the carriage.

The night wind was cold, and I didn't feel much when I was sitting in the carriage. As soon as I got out of the carriage, Yuzhu wrapped her green-patterned brocade and feather satin cloak tightly around her body, and quietly followed behind Princess Zhuyi.

Ruan's mother and Hua Ruo were on the left and right side by side.

"...It's been a long time since I guessed lantern riddles. When I was young, eunuchs and maids made lanterns in the palace, and tied them to trees with ribbons. I still remember that the wet nurse hugged me and took a closer look. As a result, the cold wind blew too much, and I would blow them at night. He got a high fever and was so tired that the wet nurse was severely punished..." A trace of nostalgia flashed in Princess Zhuyi's eyes.

Yu Zhu twisted a ring in her hand, thinking about her care, at this moment, a scream came from her ear, and when she looked up, she saw the red figure of Princess Zhuyi suddenly fell to the right.

"Master!" Mother Yu hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed Princess Zhuyi's arm, and helped her regain her footing, "Are you alright?"

"It's okay, I accidentally stepped on something." Princess Zhuyi was shocked, and stretched out her hand to caress her chest, "Just now I was only focused on looking at the lamp, and didn't pay attention to my feet."

Mother Yu worried: "Did you sprain your ankle?"

Princess Zhuyi tried to take a step, and when her feet touched the ground, she gasped and said angrily, "It's really...how did your body become so delicate!"

The maidservant who was waiting by her side looked at each other, such a flat stone road, and there is no small stone ditch, how did she sprain her foot?Doubts turned into doubts, everyone still persuaded Princess Zhuyi to go back first.

The maid Yaoqin who was close to her took a step forward, took Princess Zhuyi's right hand, and said with a smile: "You like that round fan, so why bother to guess it yourself, it's the same when you buy it. Just give it to your servant and keep it properly take it back."

"You girl, according to this kind of thinking, how many interesting things are there in the world?" A gust of wind came from nowhere, and the veil hanging from the veiled cap of Princess Zhuyi was blown up, rippling like water ripples, " It’s so good, all of you who come here have a try, and whoever wins and wins the fan back for me will reward her with ten taels of silver.”

As soon as these words came out, the maids and mothers-in-law were all ecstatic, and they had such luck to wait on the master to go out!Everyone was smiling, rushing to the lamp stand in a hurry.

"Is the second wife interested?" Princess Zhuyi held Yu Mama's hand and walked back, suddenly turned her head to look at Yu Zhu, pursed her lips, and said with a light smile: "It's just a few of them, I'm afraid they will come here I can't even guess tomorrow morning."

Yu Zhu's brows moved slightly, and she quickly covered her mouth with a smile, "I'm very stupid, it's better not to embarrass me."

Princess Zhuyi looked at Yuzhu's slightly indifferent Yanshui Qiutong, and was slightly annoyed in her heart, but there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"That's all..."

The crowd was like weaving, the lights were as bright as day, and the road was blocked by cars and horses. After finishing speaking, they took a few steps, and the princess of Zhuyi and her party disappeared.

"...This..." Hua Ruo's intuition was wrong, and he approached Yu Zhu nervously, staring nervously at the crowd around him.

Yu Zhu was very calm, patted Hua Ruo on the shoulder to signal her reassurance, and then looked through the veil to identify the direction.

"Ma'am, the carriage is over there." A sharp-eyed maid saw her carriage and exclaimed in surprise.

In a secluded and dark alley not far away, if someone strays into it at this time, they will be scared to death.

It was celebrating outside, people and horses were hustle and bustle, but there was no sound in the alley, dozens of dark figures stood upright like javelins, and the air of murder rushed towards the face.

One of them held a short torch, and the weak flame trembled weakly in the howling wind, making the broken shadows cast on the wall long and short, adding a bit of weirdness and horror.

Through the flickering firelight, you can see a few black figures lying crookedly under their feet, reeking of alcohol.The person in the front fell on the ground, and there was no sound at all.

"Wake him up." The deep voice could not hear the slightest emotion.

Then someone took a step forward, pulled the hair of the man on the ground to lift his face, raised his hand, and slapped heavily across the face.

"Humph……"

With a painful moan, the man came to his senses. After realizing his situation, he was terrified, "Who are you, you dare to kidnap me, but you know that I am..."

"The third young master of the Li family." The man's indifferent voice sounded, with a touch of sarcasm, "It took a lot of thought to bring out all your cronies and friends drunk, right?

This time Li Maozhang was really frightened. After being called out, he felt that he had encountered a hard nail that was not easy to mess with. There is also a strange fishy-sweet smell in it... At this moment, fear is growing wildly in my heart like weeds.

"My lord, I fainted again." Someone stepped forward to test it out, pouted his mouth in disdain, and just as the words fell, the handle of the knife in his hand hit Li Maozhang's head hard, and said coldly: "I don't want to be beaten again!" , just answer nicely."

Waking up from the severe pain again, Li Maozhang felt like crying. How did something so simple become what he is now.

The tact that I had been hearing since childhood came in handy at this moment, and said: "My lord, I was also forced."

It was still quiet, he suppressed his fear and looked up secretly - a tall figure a few steps away, completely hidden in the darkness, only by the momentary fireworks in the sky, he could glimpse the cold outline ...Compelled by that awe-inspiring aura, even though the surroundings were pitch black, he didn't dare to look too much, and continued: "The Li family is also under the eaves, so they have to bow their heads, you know, this... ..."

"who is it?"

Li Maozhang didn't dare to get angry when he was interrupted, and hurriedly replied: "My father said that it was Master Ji's order to come to the second wife of the Cheng family to say a few words and make fun of her..."

"after?"

"I'll go out to persuade you later." Li Maozhang said with a bitter face, trembling slightly: "I really dare not do anything bad, I'm just making a joke, just making a joke..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt severe pain from the back of his neck, and then he didn't know anything...

The subordinate looked at the anger rising from Cheng Xunxun's body, shrank his shoulders a little, and said softly: "My lord, the messenger is here."

While speaking, a burly man was ushered in, he cupped his hands, and said in a strange tone: "My master asked the younger one to thank you on his behalf, the gift has been received."

"Where is your master right now?" Cheng Xunxun's eyes quietly glowed in the darkness, as bright as stars.

The visitor was immediately vigilant, and said defensively: "My master is waiting in the suburbs of Beijing, not in the city, what advice does your Excellency have?"

"Just asking, why are you nervous?" Cheng Xunxun pretended not to know that he was lying, laughed and revealed it, and then said in a deep voice: "I hope he has a good memory, don't forget things that shouldn't be forgotten."

"That's natural, don't worry, it's what we promised." The visitor looked at the sky, then cupped his hands and said goodbye, flew out of the alley, and merged into the joyful crowd again...
