Chapter 89

This night, there were crowds of people admiring the lanterns. The carriage moved extremely slowly among the crowded crowd. Gu Changqing couldn't stand it anymore. After discussing, he asked Gu Ronghua and Qingmei to get off the carriage and walked to watch the lanterns.He took his two younger sisters, followed by Tanying, Luzhu and a few servants, surrounded Qingmei and Gu Ronghua in the middle, so as not to be crowded by people.

Along the way, there are strings of lanterns hanging in front of various shops on both sides. Under the willow trees and cherries beside the road, there are various gauze lanterns and glazed lanterns with carved wood, bamboo, and copper skeletons. Paper-pasted lanterns are shaped like white rabbits, monkeys, cats, and birds.Landscapes, flowers and birds, fish and insects, and stories of characters are painted on the lamps, which are hazy and beautiful under the light.

The whole street is crowded with people, the handsome and straight man, the bright and graceful daughter, holding a lantern in her hand, beckoning friends, commenting on the painting techniques, or guessing lantern riddles, joking and laughing, singing and singing. pole.

This is the first time for Qingmei to celebrate the New Year's Eve in the capital, and the grandeur of this Lantern Festival is naturally incomparable in Wancheng.Even Gu Ronghua was always impressed by the lantern, and Qingmei was even more excited about it, looking around, feeling dazzled.

They walked slowly along with the crowd, and on both sides they also sold various honey cake snacks, bamboo-woven animals, exquisite fringed palace flowers, and fashionable masks.

Qingmei loves to play around since she was a child, and under the influence of this atmosphere, the child's character that is usually restrained and hidden is fully revealed. When looking at all kinds of cute masks and hand-held lanterns, she couldn't put them down, so Gu Changqing accompanied her to buy them one by one.Gu Ronghua at the side just looked at it coldly at first, thinking that Qingmei was tacky and naive, but later, for some reason, he also picked up a glazed lamp and played with it in his hand.

A group of people gathered sometimes and scattered, and when they walked slowly to the Wuzhen Building beside the Yujie Street, it was already three quarters of Xu o'clock.

Gu Changqing saw that her sisters were also tired from walking, so he said: "Let's go inside and have a rest, I have already agreed with Saburo to meet here." Qingmei is fine, she usually does not feel tired when she is active and lively, but Gu Ronghua But with a noble body, it is really a little tired to support Tanying at the moment, so I naturally agree.

But tonight's Wuzhen Building is not something you can enter casually, not only because of its dishes and prices are among the best in the capital, but also because of its excellent location - the three-story loft is located at the T-shaped intersection, sitting in the private room facing the street. By the window, you can not only see the dragon lantern on Yujie Street, but also the lantern tower directly opposite.

The Lantern Tower is the most anticipated sight every year on New Year's Eve. In addition to viewing it for the common people, the emperor and empress will also bring all the concubines, princesses and princes in the palace to watch it on the imperial city tower and have fun with the people.Therefore, every year before the twelfth lunar month, the palace began to prepare for this lantern building, and hundreds of skilled craftsmen were called to work together to make it, which can make people feel refreshed and amazed every year.

Because of this, the private rooms in the Wuzhen Building are extremely sought-after. Those princes and grandchildren would like to squeeze in the crowd and not see the whole picture of the Lantern Building?It's better to warm a pot of wine in the private room, order two small dishes, listen to the music and compose poems, and then stand by the window and watch the lights calmly. It's not very romantic and elegant!
After all, the number of private rooms is limited, and as the tide rises, the price of the location of Wuzhen Building is sky-high tonight. Those who can reserve private rooms not only need money, but also status.Up to now, most of the people who can enter it are the royal family and nobles.

Gu Changqing himself had no way to book a private room, but when the shopkeeper saw him, he still bowed and smiled to welcome him in - there was no one, only someone in the palace had ears.The third prince, Junli, had booked the private room very early on, and he had instructed the shopkeeper before, so that the three of them could enter smoothly.

Qingmei doesn't know the market of Wuzhen Building yet, and when she enters, she can see that everyone's clothes are luxurious and well-groomed, so she can't help admiring them.

The private room set by Junli is on the third floor, and the middle position was set by the prince, so Qingmei and the others are slightly to the left, but it doesn't affect the view of the lantern at all.Open the window and look at the scene on the street. That's what BMW car carvings are all over the road, and the lanterns are as bright as stars falling.

The three of them took a rest with the food and drinks prepared earlier, and when it was almost the end of Xu time, they saw the shopkeeper bowing and leading Junli in.

At that time, Qingmei was looking at an extremely chic glazed beauty lantern on the opposite side, and she suddenly looked towards the door with a tacit understanding, and saw Jun Li just flashing in, and her eyes just happened to fall on her face.There was amazement in their eyes, and then they looked at each other and smiled.

Gu Changqing stood up to greet him, since there was no one else in the private room, he followed the prince's etiquette, and Qingmei followed Gu Ronghua to salute.Jun Li was wearing a dark blue cloak, but inside was a cane yellow blouse. He was wearing a jade belt and accessories, and on his head was a white hairpin tasseled silver-winged hat that symbolized his status as a prince. Give him a layer of soft light, and look at the noble Mingxiu.

Junli asked them to excuse him, handed the cloak to Danqing casually, took off the silver-winged hat, and said, "The banquet is late, so I kept you waiting." Then he asked Gu Changqing, "Did you have fun? "

"Look." Gu Changqing pointed to the various masks, necklaces, palace flowers and several lanterns piled up next to him, and said with a smile, "Qing Mei is going crazy."

Junli's eyes fell on Qingmei, who was wearing a tea-white chest-length skirt from the chest to the ankle, scattered with floral flowers in an orderly manner, rolled with exquisite embroidery, and a bright blue ribbon formed on the chest. Butterfly.On the top is a lilac-colored cross-collared half arm, revealing a section of snowy neck, which is soft and elegant against the candlelight.The hair is pulled up, and the double butterflies on the gold hairpin hang behind the ears with two strings of pearls, making the ears softer and more tender.

Unconsciously, he took two steps forward, wanting to reach out to touch it, but when he caught sight of Gu Ronghua, he was startled, and said, "Where is Miss Gu, is there anything to gain?"

Gu Ronghua smiled and said: "I chose a glazed lamp, just hold it."
