Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 288 Flower Market Lights Like Day

How to hide a person's difference?
That is to throw him among a group of people who are also different, so that being different is no longer unique.The above sentence, in Jiang Lin's words, translates as——

Brother, there are many men out there dressed like us.

If it weren't for these words, Xue Lang would never have had the courage to step out of the house.Although it is inevitable to cover the face tightly and not show a trace of face, it is already a great victory to have the courage to wear women's clothing to go out of the house!

"Linlang, Ahan, please walk more slowly. Big Brother, you're on the right track!"

Jiang Lin and Su Han suddenly realized, and hurriedly adjusted their pace, Xue Lang... the face under Xue Lang's mask was completely unlovable.

The process of the three big men wearing women's clothing for the first time was not beautiful or smooth.

Girls feel graceful and graceful in it, very pretty.Change into men's clothes... Haha, the stride is too big, Su Han almost tripped over the hem of the skirt, Xue Lang is purely awkward, walking very unconfidently, cautiously, feeling uncomfortable everywhere, so he just It's a good turn.

After finally getting used to it, when I came out of the mansion, I met a group of people head-on, just like them, the men were dressed in women's clothes, the women were dressed in men's clothes, with their heads wrapped around their heads, and they didn't have a mask tightly covered like Xue Lang's. On the head, talking and laughing, walking over happily.

Xue Lang felt a little relieved, but he still decided to keep a low profile and not take off the mask.

Chang'an City is very large, and the most crowded place during the Lantern Festival is not the east and west cities, but Suzaku Avenue.On this day, craftsmen who perform Baixi will set up a stage to perform on Zhuque Street. Some people will also set up lantern riddles and prepare some interesting small gifts for those who guess the lantern riddles. A hawker waiting for gadgets.

In the past, the curfew was strict in Chang'an City, but the curfew did not extend to Lifang. With the doors closed, the night in Lifang was still very lively. These hawkers used to do business in Lifang.Today's Lantern Festival, the curfew cannot be prohibited, and there are many people, so the location of the sales is naturally changed to a more lively place.

Some traveled by horse-drawn carriage, and many more traveled on foot.Xue Lang and his party arrived at Suzaku Avenue in a carriage, got out of the carriage and walked, leaving Wanfu to wait in the carriage, while they walked and strolled.

On Suzaku Avenue, entertainers occupy seats on both sides of the street for performances, performing all kinds of tricks, including monkey tricks.Most of the passers-by were like Xue Lang and the others. Men wore women's clothes, women wore men's clothes, some wore masks, and some lifted their masks to reveal their faces. Xue Lang accidentally saw a bearded woman wearing a bun , dressed in women's clothes, and painted her face white——

A little nauseous, a little nauseous, but I don't want to eat sour!
Xue Lang suddenly became confident. Compared to someone with a beard and wearing women's clothing, he is simply a clear stream in the world, so there is no need to feel ashamed.Sure enough, there is no harm without comparison, and I feel that there is hope in life again!
Of course, there are men who wear women's clothing, and there are men who dress normally.Xue Lang was shocked!She turned her head and asked Su Siniang: "Siblings, look, there are men wearing men's clothes over there, but they are not wearing women's clothes!"

So, what is said should be done according to custom?

Su Siniang smiled slyly under the mask, and replied crisply: "Brother, the Shangyuan Festival is naturally as interesting as it is, right? Big brother, don't care about little girls like me when it's a big festival." Already!"

So, were they being teased by Su Siniang?

It feels like all his previous entanglements have become a joke, ah, he has no face to love!
"Linlang, there is a monkey show over there, you can go and see it with me!"

Su Siniang begged softly.Su Han said: "I see that there are quite a few snack sellers ahead. If you want to taste it, why don't we go separately and make an appointment to meet at the carriage, how about it?"

Jiang Lin took his little daughter-in-law to watch Baixi Opera, Su Han was busy tasting delicious food, Xue Lang didn't want to see Jiang Lin and his wife show their affection, nor did he want to eat with Su Han, but wanted to take a walk , to experience the ancient customs.Take guards with you when you go out, and it's okay to separate.

Xue Lang walked among the crowd with his guards, and when he encountered an interesting Baixi performance, he stopped to take a look.In modern times, when Xue Qing was about to take the college entrance examination, during the winter vacation, he took the bonus that he had saved up for several months, and the two brothers and sister took the train to visit the great capital and visit the famous Various universities and colleges have also visited the temple fair of the Temple of Heaven.

There will be some traditional handicrafts displayed at the temple fair. Xue Lang has seen it before, which is naturally different from the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the Tang Dynasty.Some handicrafts have been passed down to later generations and have long been lost, so Xue Lang was quite interested in shopping. He forgot that he was wearing women's clothing while walking, and his waist straightened. Even the mask on the face was removed and put on top of the head because it blocked the line of sight.

"What a handsome little lady, which family's daughter is she?"

A joking remark suddenly came to mind, Xue Lang froze, and turned his head like a robot "Kaka"——

Young and handsome face with a playful smile on his face!
It's the King of Qin!
Beside him stood Princess Qin wearing a veiled hat.The king of Qin was holding a little Zhengtai in his hand, and the entourage behind him was holding a slightly smaller boy in his arms.

Concubine Qin's face was faintly visible under the veil, with a faint smile on her face, no need to guess, she was laughing at Xue Lang!

Xue Lang's face turned red in an instant, wishing he could dig a hole to bury himself, but he couldn't escape immediately, and had to salute with a tomato face: "I have seen King Qin and Princess Qin."

"Pfft!"

Probably because Xue Lang's tomato face was too funny, Princess Qin was immediately amused!King Qin also smiled all over his face, and said jokingly: "Mr. Xue's dress today is quite interesting for entering the country as the Romans do!"

The corner of Xue Lang's mouth twitched, and he clasped his fists in a salute decisively: "It's a rare festival, so I won't disturb King Qin to enjoy the family happiness, and I will take my leave first!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left without dragging his feet in the slightest, but the tomato face weakened his momentum a bit.King Qin laughed loudly with an expression of "I've seen through everything", but he didn't stop Xue Lang.

Xue Lang walked a few steps quickly, and stopped until he could no longer hear King Qin's laughter. He patted his chest and touched his hot face. He was quite embarrassed to bump into King Qin. Yes, if you're not at home watching a song and dance, or working hard to have more children with Princess Qin, why would you come out to join in the fun!What a waste of life!

Xue Lang complained silently in his heart that the King of Qin was not doing business——

There was another joking voice behind him: "This strong woman is very skilled, and her footsteps are so hasty, where do you want to go?"
