Chapter 279: Visiting the Lantern Festival
In Li Yi's mansion, Li Ang, Li Yi, and Li Shizhi talked a lot, whether it was a major event in the court, or a small matter such as daily eating and drinking, the three of them could talk together. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the evening, Ang Li had to say goodbye, because he had promised his wife Yan Ruyu to take her to the Lantern Festival.
Li Shizhi stayed in Li Yi's mansion and continued to chat with Li Yi, perhaps being alienated by the emperor made him feel very uncomfortable, so he urgently needed someone to talk to.
"Alang is back! The carriages and horses are ready to go out at any time. ”
Zhao Liuxing greeted him happily, the reason why he prepared the carriage and horse was because he knew that Yan Ruyu was going to visit the lantern festival with Li An, and Yan Ruyu was the new daughter-in-law, so it was not convenient to ride a horse, and taking a carriage was undoubtedly the best choice.
"Where's Madame?"
"Ah Lang, where is Madame in the backyard? It's waiting for you. ”
Li An smiled lightly, walked to the backyard, recalling the scene of accompanying Yan Ruyu to the Lantern Festival last year, Li An's head floated with a warm feeling.
"Ah Lang, you're back, Madame is wearing new clothes today."
"Husband."
As soon as Cao'er's words fell, Yan Ruyu walked out lightly.
"Wow, dressed in snow-white men's clothes, he looks like a pretty white-faced boy, if this spreads, won't he be fascinated by thousands of little girls."
Ang Lee made a very exaggerated expression, but, to be honest, Yan Ruyu dressed up like this, she was really beautiful.
"Husband, do I really look good in this men's dress?"
Yan Ruyu smiled at the corner of her mouth, turned around a few times in place, and a sense of elegance and ease appeared in front of Ang Lee.
"Hey, ma'am, how did this place get smaller?"
Li An took a step forward and reached out to touch Yan Ruyu's chest, but Yan Ruyu avoided it.
To tell the truth, Yan Ruyu's chest has indeed become smaller, and it is much smaller, from the original tall and straight to the current Yingying hand, which is at least an inch shorter in terms of altitude.
"Husband, what are you doing? Is the grass still here? ”
Yan Ruyu dodged Li An's attack and gave Li An an angry look.
"Haha! The husband was just curious, how did the lady get it to make it so much shorter. ”
Li An had actually guessed a few points in his heart, but he wanted Yan Ruyu to say it himself.
Yan Ruyu smiled: "It's just wrapped in thin silk a few times, and it is said that it is inconvenient for the bride to go out, so she wears men's clothes, which will be much more convenient." ”
"I see, but wouldn't it be uncomfortable to wrap it up like this?"
Li An asked with concern, after all, winding the body tightly with silk will make people's bodies very uncomfortable, and Yan Ruyu is not very old, which will affect development and is very unfavorable to continued development.
"It's just for one night, it's okay, it's getting dark, when are we leaving."
Yan Ruyu smiled, eager to go to the place where the lantern festival was located immediately.
"You can go now!"
Li An smiled lightly, stepped forward, and said in Yan Ruyu's ear: "Madam, when you come back at night, your husband will give you a good rub." ”
"Kneading, what kneading? Husband, you are naughty again. ”
Yan Ruyu reacted quickly and gave Li An a blank look.
"Alright, let's go! Ha ha! ”
Li An took Yan Ruyu and walked towards the gate, Cao'er, Xiao Yin, and Xiao Meng also followed, they wanted to accompany Yan Ruyu, so that there were many people and there was a good response.
Li An and Zhao Liu rode horses, Yan Ruyu and the other four women sat in the car, and six male servants walked around the carriage, protecting the vehicle.
Because the venue of the lanterns is relatively close to the imperial city, and Ang Lee's mansion is far away in Dayefang in the south, it takes a long time for the carriage to arrive at the place where the lanterns are held, so that Yan Ruyu and other women have to walk a lot less, and they will not be too tired when shopping for lanterns.
There is no curfew on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and there is only one opportunity in the year, so for this reason, the people of all the squares rush to the place where the lanterns are held, get ready for a good Leyile, and relax their bodies and minds.
The roads between the squares of Chang'an City are very wide, but because the people are all rushing to the direction of the imperial city, the roads seem to be a little blocked.
Li An and Zhao Liu rode horses, they couldn't gallop at all, and they couldn't walk fast in the carriage of Yan Ruyu and a few people, so they could only follow the back of the crowd slowly, moving forward little by little, and the closer they got to the imperial city, the more crowded they became, and in the end, the carriages and horses were directly not allowed to pass.
This is also to allow more people to participate in this prosperous era, after all, if the nobles rode on horseback, it would cause more crowding, so that many people could not enter the lantern festival.
"Cao'er, why did the carriage and horses stop."
Yan Ruyu looked at the grass and whispered for a sentence.
Cao'er gently lifted the curtain and looked out, but the front of the road was blocked, only pedestrians were allowed to enter, and no carriage was allowed to enter.
"Madame, there is no carriage ahead, and it seems that we have arrived."
Cao'er screamed excitedly.
"Madam, get off the car, Zhao Liu, leave two male servants to take care of the carriage and horses, and the rest are ready to go in and watch the lights."
Li An opened his mouth and ordered.
Except for two male servants who remained, the remaining ten people passed through the gap of the rejection of horses and entered the wide street in the southern part of the imperial city.
At this time, the sky is already dark, all kinds of lanterns are all lit, looking at the past from a distance, the stars are dotted, very beautiful, I am afraid that only a strong country like Datang can hold such a magnificent huge lantern festival.
Among these people, there are poor, rich, noble, official, and even a large number of foreigners from foreign lands, and people of different colors gather together to form a broad culture with the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty.
A large number of lanterns illuminate the whole street, and in addition to the lanterns, there are many vendors selling various goods on both sides of the road, there are delicious special snacks, there are also very interesting small toys, there are men's favorite weapon models, and there are also daughters like rouge silk, in short, everything, almost half of the east and west markets have been moved.
Li An was already full when he was in Li Yi's mansion, and Yan Ruyu and Zhao Liu and others were not hungry, so they couldn't feel the temptation of these delicacies for the time being, but those small commodities, especially rouge and all kinds of jewelry, were Yan Ruyu's favorites.
At this time, Li Ang only hated that he didn't have enough money, otherwise, he would buy all the goods on this street.
"Husband, do you think this step shakes beautifully?"
Yan Ruyu picked up a step and shook it, smiling very sweetly.
"My madam, of course she wears everything beautifully, buy it!"
Li An said generously.
"Xie Fujun, what about this?"
Yan Ruyu smiled extremely sweetly, and in addition to warmth in her eyes, there was also a hint of expectation.
What else can Li An do, he said generously: "I bought it." ”
"Husband is so good, how about this ring."
"Bought it."
"Bought it."
"Bought it."
Ang Lee is out of the way, anyway, he has more ways to make money, but he is not afraid of being poor.
"The husband is really good, but Ruyu can't let the husband spend too much money, so stop there, don't buy anything, let's watch the lanterns!"
Yan Ruyu's heart is very fine, she can see that Li An is already shy, and if she buys it again, it will make Li An embarrassed, so she braked in time, and the reason why she wants to buy so much jewelry is because she really likes these things, and secondly, to test how much Li An cares about her.
Li An breathed a sigh of relief, if Yan Ruyu continued to buy a few more jewelry, the money in his pocket might not be enough.
This time I went to the Lantern Festival, and a large group of people went together, not Ang Lee and Yan Ruyu, so it felt different, but fortunately, these were their own servants, and they didn't feel anything awkward.
There will be all kinds of lanterns, dazzling, pleasing to the eye, however, no matter how beautiful the lanterns are, they can't withstand the fatigue of people, with the arrival of the time, the people on the streets become fewer and fewer, and many hawkers have also gone home.
However, the more people are less, the cleaner the streets are, and the more comfortable it is to watch the lanterns, although Li An and Yan Ruyu have yawned several times, they are still unsatisfied, and Zhao Liu and other eight servants naturally have to accompany them.
"You've been walking for so long, you're all hungry!"
Li An walked to a fried vendor and felt a little hungry, needless to say, the few people around him must also be hungry.
"A few plates of pancakes."
Li An didn't wait for a few people to answer, and gave an order.
"Okay, here we are."
The vendor divided the freshly fried pancakes into three plates, one plate for Ang Li and Yan Ruyu, one plate for Cao'er and Xiao Meng, and one plate for Xiao Yin, and the remaining plate was naturally handed to Zhao Liu and the four male servants.
It can be seen that the peddler is still very discerning, he knows that this distribution is the most appropriate, and the pancakes he sells are fried meatballs made of radish, mutton and white flour.
"Husband, it's so fragrant! Still steaming? ”
Yan Ruyu hadn't eaten pancakes for a long time, and her saliva was about to flow out.
"Taste it and see how it tastes?"
Li Ang said as he stuffed a pancake into his mouth and tasted it gently.
"Incense, it's really fragrant! Not bad, not bad. ”
"It's crispy and delicious, it's delicious."
Li An and Yan Ruyu sighed at the same time, and although the rest of the people didn't say anything, they ate one faster than the other, as if they were afraid that someone else would rob them of one more.
"Zhao Liu, you guys are open to eat, fried pancakes, open to fried, I bought them all."
The price of these fried pancakes is not expensive, even if everyone breaks their stomachs, they will not be able to eat Ang Lee.
"A-Lang, A-Lang, we have brought the horses and carriage here."
Two male servants who stayed outside walked over with two war horses and carriages.
"Aren't you not allowed to enter? How did you get the carriage in? ”
Ang Lee felt a little strange.
"Ah Lang, it's already midnight, there are fewer and fewer people watching the lanterns, and the road is a lot wider, so the ban on chariots and horses traveling together has been lifted, and even those guards just now have all withdrawn to the camp."
Li An nodded: "I see, you two tie your horses to the carriage and come over to eat together!" ”
"Xie Ah Lang, Xie Ah Lang."
These two male servants worked hard to stay outside the street, freezing for several hours, very hard, their stomachs were already hungry, and they heard that there was food, and they were fragrant fried pancakes, so they were naturally overjoyed.
Two-thirds of all the ingredients prepared by the hawker were sold before Ang Lee came, and the remaining one-third was sold to Ang Lee, pushing the empty cart and leaving the street happily, and being able to sell all the ingredients prepared was the greatest success for a hawker.
Li An and the other twelve people ate openly, and they didn't eat all the fried pancakes, and the remaining pancakes were packed in several paper bags, ready to be taken back to the mansion to be given to the people on night to taste, who made them work so hard?
The location where Li An ate pancakes was several miles away from the place where the carriage was originally parked, Yan Ruyu, who was already tired of walking, was still thinking about whether to let Li An carry him to the carriage, but unexpectedly, after the two male servants found that the road was lifted, they took it upon themselves to bring the horses and carriages over, which made Yan Ruyu both happy and slightly disappointed.
"Madam, just after eating, take the car, it's not good for your health, you have to walk more."
Seeing that Yan Ruyu was about to get into the car, Li An opened his mouth to suggest.
"Husband, but my legs are already very tired, and I can't walk anymore."
Yan Ruyu said coquettishly.
"It's okay, my husband will help you walk, it's not much, you only need to walk two hundred steps, and I'll let you get in the car."
Li An coaxed softly, and helped Yan Ruyu to walk forward slowly for two hundred steps, which allowed Yan Ruyu to get into the car, after all, not exercising just after eating is very bad for the body, and Li An still plans to live a long life with Yan Ruyu?
Li An, who was riding on a tall horse, looked sideways at the curtain of the carriage and asked with a smile, "Madam, are your thighs sore?" ”
"Husband, it may be that you have walked too much and are sour."
"Haha! It's sour! When I return home, I will give you a good knead for my husband. ”
Li An said very boldly, not caring at all about so many servants following, after all, if the skin is not thick enough, how can you mix in this society?
Cao'er looked at Yan Ruyu with a smile: "Madam, when Ah Lang went out, he said that he would rub it for you, but he didn't say thighs!" ”
When Yan Ruyu heard this, she was shy and astringent: "Good you grass, you dare to cancel your master, you two hold this little girl, I want to slap my mouth myself." ”
"Madam, I was wrong, I was really wrong, ah......"
There were cheerful cries and laughter from inside the carriage, and Ang Lee listened to these sounds, and his mood suddenly became very wonderful, whether in his previous life or in this life, Ang Lee liked to listen to these cheerful sounds, especially the crisp and pleasant voice of the little girl.
