Yipin Tang

Chapter 269

The next day, Xiaocui's parents didn't show up, and even the people sent by Wang Xiang didn't find out when they disappeared. As for the Zhang family they were talking about, it turned out that the only son in the family was seriously ill and was dying for a long time. I couldn't help it, so I listened to what others said and wanted to marry a woman to be happy, to get rid of evil spirits, but who knew that I offended the Marquis of Jiayuan.

When Wang Xiang sent people over to inquire and investigate, the member Zhang was stunned on the spot. If he knew that Xiaocui had something to do with Wang Xiang and beat him to death, he wouldn't dare to use Xiaocui to cheer his son, and that dog master, He turned out to be a wanted criminal by the government, and he honestly confessed everything he knew without daring to hide anything.

He really didn't know Ergou's identity, he just saw that Ergou and his men were strong, so he accepted them as guards in the mansion, but he never saw them again after he sent them to Chang'an City to arrest Xiaocui who escaped from marriage. Been to them.

For Zhang Yuanwai's bullying and oppression, there are too many things in the feudal society, and Wang Xiang can't manage them all. He wanted to punish them severely, but when their only son died of illness, Zhang Yuanwai The old man lost his son in grief, Wang Xiang felt soft-hearted for a moment, and Xiaocui let them go without any real harm.

As for the identities of Xiaocui's parents, Zhang Yuanwai said that he was not too clear. Normally, both parties would know each other's identities when they get married, but this time the Zhang family just wanted to find a woman to celebrate their happiness. Naturally, I was overjoyed when I came here, so I couldn't care less about other things.

However, from the sudden escape of the two of them, Wang Xiang was sure that they were not Xiaocui's parents at all, otherwise they would not have fled after knowing that he had sent someone to investigate them.

This incident had a great impact on Xiaocui. She thought she had found her parents, but before she had time to be happy, her parents forced her to marry a person who was about to die of illness. In the end, she found out that the parents she found were not her. Her parents, Ning Xiang and the others didn't know how to comfort her.

In the past few days, Chang'an City has been decorated with lanterns and festoons. After the New Year, everyone is preparing for the Lantern Festival celebration. Every household hangs red lanterns at the door. This kind of scene will not be seen in future generations, not just the little loli who likes to be lively He was very excited with Ju Yiya, and Wang Xiang was also very interested. He has read about guessing lantern riddles in books, but he has never experienced it himself.

I went to many lantern fairs with Little Lolita and Ju Yiya, and I saw a lot of lanterns, but I didn’t see a single lantern riddle, and the lanterns were not the fancy lanterns that he imagined, they were all well-regulated red Lanterns, although festive, lack a lot of fun.

Little Lolita and Ju Yiya were playing with great interest, but Wang Xiang felt a little less interested.

Sensing Wang Xiang's strangeness, little loli tugged at his arm and asked, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

"I thought the Lantern Festival would be fun, but it didn't really mean much." Wang Xiang said uninterestedly.

"That's because it's not yet the Lantern Festival, and it will be even more lively when it arrives."

Seeing little Lolita's excited face, Wang Xiang asked, "Is there a lantern riddle during the Lantern Festival?"

"Lantern riddles?" Little Lolita froze for a moment and said uncertainly, "There will be some lantern riddles..."

Although lantern riddles originated very early, they really emerged after the mid-Tang Dynasty. It has only been the 11th year of Zhenguan. Appeared at the lantern festival organized by some noble ladies.

In Xiao Luoli's opinion, juggling performances at the lantern festival are already very fun, and when Wang Xiang said so many more interesting things, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Brother-in-law, why don't we hold a lantern festival this year too! "

"A lantern festival?" Wang Xiang didn't think about it.

The more the little Lolita thought about it, the happier she became, and she said excitedly: "Yes, every year during the Lantern Festival, there will be many people holding the Lantern Festival. My brother-in-law is both Lord Marquis and a famous talent in Chang'an. If there is a Lantern Festival, many people will definitely come to participate. , and the lantern riddles and lanterns that my brother-in-law said, it will be very lively then."

Jing Xiaoluoli said that Wang Xiang was also a little moved, and said, "Let me think about this matter."

"Oh, what are you thinking about, the lantern festival organized by brother-in-law must be fun!" Little Lolita took Wang Xiang's arm and acted coquettishly.

Wang Xiang shook his head helplessly and said: "Then let me think about where and how to hold the lantern festival..."

Upon hearing the news that Wang Xiang was going to hold a lantern festival, Li Zhi, Cheng Chuliang, Li Huiming and others all came, and Li Zhi's two bully brothers, Li Zhen and Li Shen, also came to join in the fun. It doesn't matter if you think about it or not.

Not long after, even Li Chengqian also came.

"Zixin wants to hold a lantern festival?"

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't care about other people's salutes. Li Chengqian pulled Wang Xiang and asked the questions he was most concerned about.

"His Royal Highness also knows..."

Wang Xiang smiled wryly, and glanced at the little Lolita beside her who was shaking her head and shaking her head, complacently. It was the little Lolita who spread the news of the lantern festival.

"Actually, I just want to have a lively lantern festival." Wang Xiang said with some embarrassment.

When Li Chengqian heard the words, he said seriously: "Then how can it be done! How can it be done casually!"

ah?Wang Xiang looked at Li Chengqian suspiciously, he just wanted to hold a lantern show and play around as if it was a very important thing.

In fact, the Prince’s Mansion will also hold lantern festivals every year during the Lantern Festival. Not only the Prince’s Mansion, but also the Prince’s Mansion of Wei and Wu’s Mansion will also hold lantern festivals. Compared with Li Tai and Li Ke, Li Chengqian’s talent is indeed much inferior, and the annual lantern festival will be suppressed by them. On the other hand, this made Li Chengqian, who is the prince, feel very aggrieved, so when he heard that Wang Xiang was going to hold a lantern festival, he immediately came to ask in person.

As soon as Wang Xiang said that he could do whatever he wanted, he immediately said seriously: "You are the long history of the Prince's Mansion, and your hosting of the Lantern Festival is related to the face of the Prince's Mansion, how can you be casual!"

What?How could I get the face of the Prince's Mansion if I just held a lantern show for fun?Wang Xiang wondered for a while when he heard the words, he suddenly realized when he saw Li Zhi's face that he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, this guy Li Chengqian wanted him to support him...

"Well... I really just want to hold a lantern show for fun. If His Royal Highness is afraid of affecting the face of the Prince's House, then I won't do it."

"No!" Li Chengqian also felt that he was a little too excited, coughed dryly and said seriously: "The whole of Chang'an already knows that you are holding the lantern festival on behalf of the Prince's Mansion. If you don't do it now, don't others think that the Prince's Mansion is going back on its word? In the future, the Prince's Mansion will return to you What prestige is there?"

Everyone in Chang'an knows that I want to hold a lantern festival on behalf of the Prince's Mansion?Wang Xiang glanced at little Lolita suspiciously.

"I only said that my brother-in-law is going to hold the Lantern Festival, but I didn't say that my brother-in-law is going to hold the Lantern Festival on behalf of the Prince's Mansion." Little Lolita will not take the blame for others, and neither will the Prince.

Wang Xiang still believed what Xiao Luoli said, so he spread the news randomly...

Seeing Wang Xiang raising his eyebrows and looking at him, Li Chengqian coughed lightly without changing his expression: "Hey, it doesn't matter who said it, the important thing is that the news has been spread all over the city now, and besides, holding the lantern festival on behalf of the Prince's Mansion is fine." Make the Lantern Festival bigger and more lively, and it will be more fun then."

Bigger, livelier, and more fun, Little Loli was instantly convinced.

"Brother-in-law, let's hold the lantern festival on behalf of the Prince's Mansion!"
