Nineteenth River of Lights

Since he said about the Western Expedition in Cheng's house, Yun Ye didn't say a word about the Western Expedition, and Lao Cheng also gave a gag order to his three sons, so the matter of the Western Expedition was only known to a few people, and Lao Cheng had already begun to insert Cheng Chumo into the Right Guard, once the imperial court began to support the Turks, the Right Guard, must be the most suitable team.

Yun Ye was very reluctant to go to Li Jing's house, the main reason was that because of the bearded guest, this bastard would definitely put on an elder's show to embarrass himself, but seeing that it was about to be the Shangyuan Festival, it would be too rude not to go, Yun Ye went to Li Jing's house alone, ready to sit for a while and leave.

Li Jing was dressed as a Yanju, wearing a high hat and a scribe, and Hongfu was also wearing a flower robe, and the two of them were more like a rich man than a chivalrous warrior or a general.

"I thought that your eyes grew to the top door to look down on a small family like the Li family, and it seems that you still know how to write the two words of etiquette, since you are here, let's have a banquet." Li Jing didn't talk nonsense, and directly invited Yun Ye to the flower hall for dinner, the noble family of the Tang Dynasty, if he didn't place one or two green rooms in his house in winter, it would not be good for people.

There are no too precious flowers and plants in the flower hall, but there are a lot of greens, a row of pepper trees growing on the windowsill, and a few peppers have turned red, which adds a little bright color to the pavilion.

I didn't see the bearded guest, Yun Ye was a little strange, Li Jing sat on the top and saw Yun Ye looking around, and said: "Although Zhong Jian is an acquaintance, it is not appropriate to meet today, you are here with a post, this is the truth, the old man can't introduce you to the pirates on the far sea when he entertains the marquis of the empire, since the rules have been decided, you must abide by them, if everyone is messed up, the world will be chaotic." ”

Yun Ye got up and poured wine for Li Jing and Hongfu, sighed and said, "Etiquette must be asked for by others." Uncle should just say it, otherwise this meal will not be steady. ”

Li Jing drank the wine in one gulp, stared at Yun Ye and said word by word: "Zhong Jian is exhausted, but can he retreat into the strait and take refuge for a while?" “

"No, if he dares to go to the strait, I will sacrifice his head to the flag, beyond the strait. Including the strait, it is the inland sea of the empire, which cannot be defiled, and it is also Yun Ye's responsibility, official ships can enter, merchant ships can enter, pirates cannot enter! Yun Ye said very simply.

Hongfu stood up suddenly, seemingly very angry, but was grabbed by Li Jing and didn't mention the matter of the bearded guest. The two of them exchanged glasses and kept drinking, as if the dispute just now did not exist.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Yun Ye got up to say goodbye, Li Jing sent Yun Ye out of the house very politely, and saw him leave in a carriage before entering the house.

Hongfu angrily pointed in the direction Yun Ye was walking and said loudly to Li Jing: "Such an ungrateful boy. Why are you so polite to him? If you cannot answer this little thing, your letter of war should not be passed on to him. So much so that to this day you cannot restrain him. “

Li Jing glanced at Hongfu strangely and said, "What else do you want from him?" He is the general of the empire, holding the military power of the South China Sea, guarding the gate for the empire, how can he show favoritism with a heavy responsibility on his shoulders? Removing Zhong Jian is our brother, if I were replaced, I would have answered more ruthlessly. What's more, he has already given Zhong Jian a way to live, which is already the best result predicted for his husband, and he must not talk nonsense. ”

"He's going to take Zhong Jian's head to sacrifice the flag, and you still say that he gave Zhong Jian a way to live?" Red Whisk's anger was even greater.

"If you don't understand the conversation between officials, don't interject, you just need to remember that Yun Ye gave Zhong Jian a way to live." Li Jing did not explain to Hongfu. Among the officials, many times it is out of my mouth, just get into your ears, and that window paper really can't be pierced.

Yun Ye's carriage went out of the city and came to Yan Zhitui's grave tactfully, Liu Jinbao took out the offerings from the carriage and placed them on the offering table, this old friend walked too quickly, too fast, so that Yun Ye didn't come out of the shadow of his death for a long time, what a funny old man, what a wise old man, why did he lie under the ground?

Declined the incense candles brought by the tomb watcher, the old man must not like these, the sweet and sour sherbet is the old man's favorite, and there is a small plate of fried beans, which is selected by Yun Ye one by one, fried with live sand, it tastes the most crispy and fragrant, but when he was alive, he always begged Yun Ye to fry a plate for him, the old man said, the more toothless, the more he likes to eat hard things, which is consistent with his temperament, old and strong!

Yan Zishan heard the report of the tomb keeper, hurried over, and saw Yun Ye sitting in front of the tombstone and whispering to the grave, so he didn't come, standing in the distance and waiting for Yun Ye to finish speaking, he and his father were friends, Yan Zishan was clear.

Yun Ye's conversation seemed to be very pleasant, and when the conversation was over, he bowed to the grave, said hello to Yan Zishan, and left in the carriage.

The road to Yushan is full of traffic, mixed with the fragrance of clothes and hair, now, the best place to go to the Shangyuan Festival is not the flower meeting in Chang'an City, not to mention the lamp mountain on Suzaku Street, nor is it to release Kong Ming lanterns on the Longshou Plain, those whistle and dance big fish lanterns, and the rough men of the dragon lanterns have nothing to see, the nobles of Chang'an now like to go to the Yushan East Yanghe to see the ice lanterns, where the nobles should go.

Due to the high terrain, the entire Dongyang River is frozen hard, in the past, because of the large amount of water, only half of the river can be frozen in winter, now there are more and more people living on Yushan, during the winter need to store water to the huge reservoir, the water on the Dongyang River gradually decreases, and when the weather is the coldest, the whole Dongyang River becomes an ice world.

The students of the academy took a large piece of ice from the river, carved it into all kinds of strange things according to their own likeness, and melted down the candle heads that were left over from their daily life to make new thick candles, and stuffed them into their own sculptures.

So the leader of the students, on the germination of the idea of making a lot of money, this time is not their own casual carving, but invited experienced stonemasons and carvers, so the river is full of dragons and phoenixes, lions and tigers, all kinds of mythical beasts, the waterfall on the Dongyang River was carved into a thousand-armed Guanyin by them due to the situation, for this reason, Pang Yuhai deliberately found the monk Zheng Daoxin, thinking that the cost of this statue should be out of them, Daoxin watched the ice sculpture, immediately met Pang Yuhai's requirements, and told Pang Yuhai, If he could carve all the 500 Arhats, he would be willing to pay not only for the carving work, but also for the students.

Pang Yuhai rejected Daoxin's request, and after blackmailing a large sum of money, he thought that the Taoist statue of the gods should also appear on the Dongyang River, and if Yuan Tiangang did not agree, he would carve a few Taoist statues to stand next to the magnificent statue of Guanyin with a thousand hands...... You may be able to receive more money in this way.

This year is already the third year, Pang Yuhai is very proud, because such an activity does not cost a copper plate, there are monks and Taoists rushing to send a large amount of money to themselves, so during the Ice Lantern Conference, you must not be surprised to see the extravagant academy students, this is all their money, and the rest of the money will become a food subsidy for students.

The cost of a silver coin will turn away the farmers who are going to visit on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, this day belongs to the noble and rich, and the farmers only need to wait two more days to see the ice sculptures on the Dongyang River will be open for free.

At the front is the carriage of the eldest grandson, Concubine Yang and Concubine Yin are also there, shouldn't they have fun with Li Er tonight? Seeing Duan Hong sitting in the carriage of the eldest grandson, Yun Ye was not surprised, needless to say that it must be His Royal Highness Li Chengqian, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, who was having fun with the people tonight, and the emperor ran to Yushan to see the legendary Milky Way.

This year's scale is terrifying, the ice sculptures stretch for five miles, there are no less than four or five hundred statues, and some flower statues are even more colorful with dyed ice.

Pandas are also used to make money, and these round-headed and round-headed guys have to humiliate themselves with climbing plows for their own food, dragging tourists back and forth to make money, and by the way, they can also mix their own round bellies.

Eagle's Beak Cliff is the best place to watch the lanterns, standing here at the foot of a brilliant Milky Way, the lights are bright like a street market in the sky after the reflection of the ice sculptures, the crowd of people who come and go is like a pretend in the Crystal Palace, the nobles and rich people who saw the ice lanterns last year all think that the silver coin is worth it.

There are fools in Yunjia Zhuangzi, use their own porcelain kiln to burn out dozens of various small clay molds, get some pigments and pour them into the water and stir them well, put them in the yard for a night, knock out the ice inside, and then tie the rope frozen in the ice to the bamboo pole, and finally stuff the candle head into it and light it, it becomes a Xiaoice lamp that can be carried in the hand, there are lotus lanterns, carp lamps, and all kinds of animal shapes, the appearance is very cute.

It's all their own children who sell lamps, adults hide in the dark and watch, and little dolls peddle around in the crowd, making a lot of money in two days.

Li Er didn't know what to smoke and go crazy, he went to live in the palace department of Yushan, and he had to stop the carriage at the door of Yun's house, he was disturbed, how could the Yun family entertain their relatives and friends tonight?

I wanted to rub it off and not go home for a while, kowtow insects are very boring, now it's the New Year, and when I see the elders, I will be served by a big gift, and if I don't do this, I will be accused of not having a tutor.

Seeing the ghost, Duan Hong walked over straight, with a smile on his face and said: "Your Majesty is in a lot of interest today, I was going to go to the palace, but I stopped the carriage when I passed by your house, and I was going to rest for a while, and then I went to watch the lantern festival when it was almost dark." “

Yun Ye opened his mouth and said, "How can this be? Climbing the Eagle's Beak Cliff at night is dangerous! “

The first time he saw someone who did not welcome the emperor to his house, his mouth was open like a hippopotamus. (To be continued......)
