Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

"That's right, Young Master..."

"Didn't the lord just say that he prepared some things for you before coming, which made it a bit late."

"Young Master, what do you think it will be?"

A familiar voice came from behind the door curtain. I don't know if it was out of habit or what. Although after the couple got married, the slaves and maidservants who served as servants should change their mouths and change the young master who was like a "young master" to represent The master's "master" or "female monarch", but Qiao Jin is now riding in the wedding car, but still calls her master Qiao Ying as "Young Lord".

And hearing Qiao Jin's reminder, Qiao Ying didn't care about the address, but just took her attention away from those relatively negative things, and then propped her chin with her hands, leaning on the carriage wall and pondering Thinking about it.

"Yeah... what could it be?"

She muttered softly, if not for Qiao Jin's reminder, Qiao Ying would have almost forgotten about it.

Just now when Zhang Yan came to knock on the door, she had complained softly to Zhang Yan, asking why it took so long for him to come to greet the bride, making herself wait for a long time.

And if Qiao Ying remembered correctly, Zhang Yan said at the time that he had prepared some extra things for the wedding, which caused him to come late, and he even explained it to Qiao Ying.

It's just that at that time, because my mind was full of shyness when I had physical contact with the other party, I didn't pay much attention to it.

Now, after being reminded by the maid Qiao Jin, she also immediately recalled this matter, and at the same time, a faint sense of anticipation rose in her heart.

In fact, normally speaking, the thing about holding a wedding is to be reasonable and compliant. As long as there are no additional mistakes, Zhang Yan has done his best, and there will be no additional changes in the basic process.

As a nobleman who is second only to the princes of the Han family, Zhang Yan's status also determines that he must abide by some default rules of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he must not change them easily.

But now recalling Zhang Yan's appearance at that time, Qiao Ying doesn't feel that the other party is perfunctory to herself, so it is inevitable that she is a little curious about what the other party said.

And without being curious for a long time, Qiaoying leaned against the inside of the carriage and was a little dazed, and found that the previously dark street seemed to be a little brighter.

"Okay... what a beautiful street, is this the main road in Luoyang?"

Outside the carriage, Qiao Jin's brisk voice came again, showing a hint of surprise.

But this time, Qiao Ying didn't feel that the other party was making a fuss, but bit her lip slightly, as if she recognized the previous reaction of this silly maid.

"Well, it's really beautiful..."

Slightly responded, Qiao Ying didn't know whether she said this to Qiao Jin outside the door, or if she said it to herself, so the voice was so small that it was hard to detect.

While staring closely at the fiery red street that was infiltrated by light, Qiao Ying also suddenly felt that the music that had been ringing in her ears seemed not as annoying as before.

After making three turns and two turns, the wedding car entered the road that Zhang Yan passed when he set off, which is also the most spacious main road in Luoyang City.

What is different from Qiao Ying's original impression is that on the main road in Luoyang at this moment, every household hangs a pair of fiery red lanterns in front of the door, which sets off the whole street as clearly as daylight.

Perhaps because of the time, when Zhang Yan drove past this road just now, the sun had not completely set at that time, so Zhang Yan only felt that the decoration was pretty, but he didn't have any extra feelings.

But now the sky is already dark, and at the same time, Qiaoying has passed through a somewhat dark road first, so when passing through this avenue that reveals a little festive atmosphere, what she feels is also the same as what Zhang Yan felt before. received completely differently.

Just looking at those lanterns from a distance, from the jumping firelight, Qiao Ying is like a fish that has finally absorbed water, and the whole person is a little relaxed, no longer as cranky as before.

Bathed in this warm red and orange light at this moment, she even felt that the somewhat obscure and uncomfortable atmosphere before had dissipated without a trace.

We must know that most women are emotional, so after becoming a little happier, Qiaoying's eyes looking into the distance also become a little peaceful and gentle, no longer the usual worry like before.

Under the gaze of her soft eyes, small dots of light, like stars shining, and like candles shining at night, slowly rose in the sky not far away.

Chapter 66

At the very beginning, Zhang Yan actually wanted to do something like fireworks.

Perhaps it was the influence of his birth and future generations. In the beginning, Zhang Yan actually wanted to try the local method of making fireworks, to see if he could create something different in Luoyang 2000 years ago.

It's a pity that after repeated attempts, not to mention the "colored flame" gunpowder mixed with metal ions, he failed to manufacture and ignite even the most basic nitrosulfuric black gunpowder.

Although in many novels and materials, Zhang Yan has long known that the perfect ratio of black powder is 7.5:1:1.5, but in the actual operation process, the purity of saltpeter, charcoal, and humidity of sulfur will affect It seriously affected the quality of the produced black powder, and also made Zhang Yan's previous idea of ​​setting off fireworks at the wedding go to waste.

After repeated attempts without success, Zhang Yan, who was in a hurry, had to choose another relatively primitive method as a substitute for fireworks in the Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, Kongming Lanterns.

"I hope she likes it..."

Standing not far from the door of his home, looking at the bright light gradually rising into the sky in the distance, Zhang Yan also wondered whether this thing could really float towards him according to the wind direction tonight as he imagined. Near the welcoming team that came from home.

Therefore, in order to achieve the effect he wanted at once, Zhang Yan simply chose to use quantity instead of quality, ignited it in Luoyang city at one time, and released more than [-] Kongming lanterns, densely covering the entire night of Luoyang, making Luoyang city Everywhere in the park, you can see this rare scene in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and pick up the remains of the Kongming Lantern after it was burned out.

At this moment, from Qiao Ying's perspective, behind the brightly lit avenue in Luoyang City, there are countless light spots flying higher and higher and farther along the night.

And some of the Kongming lanterns that were released first, soon became weaker and weaker due to the gradual exhaustion of fuel, and also slowly descended from the night sky.

If Zhang Yan's plan is correct, when he wakes up tomorrow morning, almost every household in Luoyang City will be able to pick up the relics of the lights that were set off tonight from near their own doors.

As for Qiao Ying's side, no matter where she is going now, one or two burnt lanterns will fall into her hands.

Looking curiously at those spots of light flying higher and higher, the curiosity in Qiao Ying's eyes was soon influenced by the beauty of the thousands of lights flying around, and she couldn't help but have a look of obsession.

And resisted not sticking his head out of the carriage, just when Qiao Ying was a little curious about how Zhang Yan realized such a scene in Luoyang City, Qiao Jin's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Look, Shaojun, the bright spot over there is flying towards us!"

"There is also the back, and there are a lot of side and rear!"

The girl's energetic voice reached Qiao Ying's ears, and Qiao Jin pulled open the curtain of the carriage, and then said to Qiao Ying inside the carriage with some excitement.

After hearing Qiao Jin's words, Qiao Ying couldn't help but feel that the novelty in her heart was really uncontrollable, and then she asked softly the officer driving the car, hoping to temporarily stop the car and let herself get out of the car Watch it carefully.

"Get out of the car? This is not possible..."

He shook his head slightly. Although the ceremony official was also a little curious about the lights all over the sky, he received Zhang Rang's death order today. There must be no mistakes in the wedding process, so naturally it is not Will agree to the rather impolite behavior of the bride getting out of the car halfway.

But after thinking about it for a while, he also seemed to feel a little bit unbearable to Qiaoying's longing eyes, and then he thought of a compromise, and whispered to the two of them:

"Miss Qiao, getting out of the car in the middle of a wedding is a big taboo. If you want to get out of the car, then our family will do our best to stop it, otherwise you will disregard Mr. Zhang's trust..."

"It's just... If you really want to stay here for a while, then our family will park the carriage along the roadside. Although you can't leave the carriage and step on the ground in Luoyang City no matter what, but If it’s just leaning out of the car, it doesn’t seem like a big deal.”

Some high-pitched voices came from the mouth of the ceremony official. Although this ceremony official looked young and fair, he entered the palace very early and was in charge of the master of ceremonies in the palace. Therefore, he also loved those men and women. With a touch of longing.

Today, he was ordered by Zhang Rang to preside over Zhang Yan's wedding. Even if he couldn't understand the detailed interaction between Zhang Yan and Qiao Ying, for the current situation, it was obviously created by Zhang Yan. However, he also has a certain amount of respect in the scene, and will not deliberately find faults and do evil out of jealousy or other psychology.

He didn't wait for Qiao Ying's reply, but after instructing the other party not to get out of the car at will, the ceremony officer gradually slowed down the carriage and stopped at the side of the current road.

Seeing the courtesy officer's behavior, Qiao Ying naturally expressed her gratitude, and then, with the support of the maid Qiao Jin, she leaned out of the carriage and stood firmly on the ground that Qiao Jin had before. On the shaft of the hitchhiker.

"Young Master, please be careful, today is your day of great joy, don't fall down."

He whispered to Qiao Ying, and helped her to stand tremblingly on the shaft of the car. Qiao Jin's face was filled with a faint smile, and there was some envy in her eyes, or what kind of emotion was constantly changing. Brewing.

Beside her, Qiao Ying nodded, and then stood up straight, staring at the distant sky with some ecstasy.

When she was in the carriage before, she could only see countless bright lights slowly rising from the somewhat dim city of Luoyang through the car window. Although she was deeply impressed by the scenery, Qiao Ying also I didn't see clearly what the lights were.

But now when she got out of the carriage, she just raised her head and glanced into the distance, she couldn't help but feel a strong sense of shock at the scene in front of her.

"This, this is... a lantern?"

Seeing the countless bright lights gradually filling the entire sky in Luoyang City under the guidance of the evening wind, Qiao Ying raised her slender neck like this, and felt her whole body trembling involuntarily standing on the carriage.

And this kind of trembling, she couldn't tell whether it was because the night wind was too cool, or the scenery in front of her was too rare.

Chapter 67

I saw that in the distant sky, one after another white bright spots were floating in the night sky. From time to time, there were a few unexpected spots that were brighter than before rising from the city of Luoyang.

When her eyes fell on the bright spots that were closer to her, Qiao Ying soon discovered that these bright spots flying straight from the ground against common sense turned out to be exquisitely crafted white lanterns.

"How... how did you do it?"

Beside him, Qiao Jin was still talking softly, as if he was a little puzzled by the scenery.

The difference is that at this moment, Qiao Ying's mind is all in the atmosphere created by the countless lights, and she doesn't care about those specific details.

I watched those dots of light flying past my head in a daze. I don’t know if it was a coincidence. Under the blowing of a breeze, the previous few lanterns that had been burning for a long time and gradually became dim no longer flew straight. Instead of rising, it drifted down towards the direction of Luoyang City little by little.

Coincidentally, the direction in which these lanterns fell was near the carriage where Qiao Ying was standing at the moment.

……

"Shao... be careful, young gentleman, don't burn you!"

I don't know if she was a little dazed, but after seeing a lantern flying in her direction, instead of lowering her head to avoid it, Qiao Ying stretched out her hands towards the burning lantern, as if she wanted to take the lantern in her hands the same.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Jin, who was supporting her at the side, was shocked, and couldn't help but reminded her heroine aloud.

You know, this lantern is nothing more than a burning candle at its core, if one is not careful, Qiao Ying's actions will be burned by the candle.

Seeing the girl from the Qiao family's unheard-of appearance, the ceremony official who parked the car to watch the theater couldn't help but sighed, and then stepped on the edge of the rut, and then the whole person jumped up, Ling Kong snatched the lantern before it fell into Qiao Ying's hands.

"Hey...it's hot."

Muttering something in a low voice, the ritual officer glanced at the layer of white paper covering the lantern from the corner of his eye, and then noticed that there seemed to be a line of small characters written on it in a rather handsome font.

After looking at the line of small characters, even the well-informed official could not help but look a little weird.

……

"Well--"

Slightly sighed, until the lantern was snatched away by the ceremonial officer, Qiao Ying seemed to have finally recovered, and her eyes were no longer as dull as before.

Turning around and looking at the ceremonial officer next to the driver with a strange look on his face, Qiao Ying also suddenly felt a little curious about the things on the lantern.

"Jin'er, Jin'er, go get it for me..."

Whispered to Qiao Jin, the maid beside her, because she couldn't get out of the car at the moment, so she couldn't see what was written on the lantern in the hand of the courtesy officer, but could only faintly see two lines written on it. small print.

Hearing her voice, before Qiao Jin needed to reach out, the ritual officer sighed deeply, and at the same time he threw the lantern over, his whole body was filled with a faint sense of decadence.

"Here, if Miss Qiao is curious, then you can see for yourself."

"Our family is a crippled body, so we can't comment too much on this matter. But if we combine our more than ten years of experience as the hostess... I would like to ask Miss Qiao to take it easy and cherish it."

It seemed that he had thought of something unpleasant, and the expression of the ceremony officer became a little dull, and he couldn't help saying "It's you", "If our family can encounter such a thing, Maybe you won't enter the palace" and some strange words like that.

On the other side, after taking over the lantern, Qiaoying cautiously sized up the inside of the lantern, and after seeing the line of small characters clearly, she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning, feeling helpless. move.

"You can write whatever you want, please show me, Shaojun!"

On the side, Qiao Jin, who was a little restless, saw her young master's lost soul, and immediately became a little curious about the content on the lantern, so she rushed into Qiao Ying's arms, and looked at it from the side. Wanting to see what was written on the lantern actually made Qiao Ying's face blush like that.

But this time, Qiao Ying reacted suddenly, and then tore off the place where a line of small characters was written from the lantern, folded it into a small note and stuffed it into her clothes.

"No, you can't watch this!"

With a flushed face, she rejected Qiao Jin's request. At this moment, Qiao Ying was like a steamed tomato, and her whole body seemed to be emitting a faint heat.
