Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 171

According to legend, during the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, in order to celebrate the rebellion of Zhou Bo on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, this festival was specially set up. Every year from now on, every night will go out to the palace to play and celebrate with the people, because this is the first day of the new year. The full moon night is also called Yuanxi and Yuanye. This festival has the custom of viewing lanterns, so it is also called the Lantern Festival.

The Shangyuan Festival originated in Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. After nearly a thousand years, it is still the city and the lights, but it has become a vicissitudes of life.

Three days before and after the Shangyuan Festival, Chang'an City lifted the curfew restrictions to facilitate the people to enjoy the lanterns.

In this rare three nights, from the princes and nobles to the merchants and pawns, all of them went out to admire the lanterns.As a result, the streets of Chang'an were crowded with cars and horses, and the crowds were very lively.

Fang Jun has been traveling between the manor and Lingbo Garden these days.

This Lingbo Garden is also one of the few large brothels in Pingkangfang. It is estimated that there are some shares of Li Zhen behind it, so since the girl with red sleeves came to Beijing, she has stayed here and became the top brand of Lingbo Garden. , In recent days, he practiced the song and dance choreographed by Fang Jun again.

Entrusted by others, Fang Jun, who was originally not interested in the life experience of this red-sleeved girl, had to devote himself to the matter of loyalty.

Fang Jun, who has been "poisoned" by Aunt Qiongyao, is not too much of a story about a thousand times more miserable than the girl with red sleeves. His immunity has already greatly increased...

On the evening of Shangyuan Festival, Fang Jun took Wu Meiniang and Qiao'er back to Chang'an Fangfu in a carriage.

He was summoned back by an edict from his younger sister Fang Xiuzhu...

The customs of the Tang Dynasty were more open than before. The various shackles for women were probably the loosest in all dynasties, especially on the day of Shangyuan Festival. The road is blocked." The Shangyuan Festival made an exception for the liberation, and even the ladies and ladies could go to the streets, walking among the bustling crowds. At that time, the Shangyuan Night in Chang'an City was undoubtedly the most romantic night.

Younger sister Fang Xiuzhu is very excited about going to the street to admire the lights, but she has never had the chance to be so happy...

But it was precisely because there were so many people on the street that the Lu family strictly ordered Fang Xiuzhu to be accompanied by family members.

Fang Yizhi, the elder brother of clinker, was temporarily called by a friend to have a drink and enjoy the oiran meeting. Fang Xiuzhu was in a hurry, even his sister-in-law Du Shi was also very annoyed, and she also wanted to go to the street...

"Second brother hates it the most. He hides in the farmhouse in Lishan all day, and only cares about me and Meiniang's sister, and I don't care about my sister..."

As soon as Fang Xiuzhu saw Fang Jun, she pouted and began to complain, expressing her extreme dissatisfaction with Fang Jun's "forgetting my sister".

Wu Meiniang suddenly blushed with shame.

However, Fang Jun didn't take it seriously, opened his mouth and said: "When you find a husband in the future, you still won't have time to pay attention to my brother."

In a word, Fang Xiuzhu said it coyly, and her little hand grabbed Fang Jun's arm and pinched it.

Sister-in-law Du smiled and said angrily, "Where does he look like a big brother? There is no door on his lips."

As he said that, he took Wu Meiniang's arm and whispered a few words in a soft laugh beside her ear.

I don't know what to say, but Wu Meiniang's beautiful face is becoming more and more dazzling...

Fang Jun glanced at the pretty girl behind Fang Xiuzhu, and teased: "Oh, Miss Li is really dignified today, I don't know her, I thought that Sister Long'er is really a well-informed, gentle and demure little beauty. Well, hahaha..."

Li Yulong pursed his lips and rolled his eyes at him with a smile, but did not speak.

Sister-in-law Du glared at Fang Jun and scolded: "Stop talking weird! Long'er is also a big girl who is about to get married, you have to pay attention!"

Fang Jun was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Yulong who was standing behind his little sister. In the past, the beautiful and agile little girl who loved to be around him the most, is actually going to marry a mistress?
What a crime, I'm only 13 years old...

Fang Jun touched his nose a little embarrassedly. The girl who was going to marry naturally couldn't make jokes like in the past. He had to pay attention to this aspect. Otherwise, he wouldn't care if gossip spread out, but he would suffer the little girl Li Yulong.

The social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was indeed open, but it wasn't that they didn't care about girls' fame.

Hearing Du Shi's talk about her marriage, Li Yulong's little face did not show much shyness and joy, but lowered her head gently with a slightly sad expression.

It looks like another unhappy political marriage...

Fang Jun sighed helplessly.

Although he is extremely dissatisfied with this way of marriage, what can he do?Not to mention that this is the Tang Dynasty, even in the 21st century where love and freedom are emphasized, such things are not uncommon for the sake of profit.

What's more, he, Fang Jun, was not also deeply affected by it...

No matter how sympathetic he is, he doesn't have the ability to fight against the whole society.

Looking at the Yingying and Yanyan around him, Fang Jun had a headache. When he entered the city, he saw a lot of people on the street. If it was the time to watch the lights at night, how many people would there be?Shoulder to shoulder is definitely not a lie.

He quickly called a few tall domestic servants to form a temporary bodyguard team with the people he brought from the farm, and strictly ordered them to stay by the side of his group, not to stay away, and to protect the safety of the female relatives at any time.

"If there is someone who doesn't have long eyes and leans forward, it doesn't matter who it is, his grandma won't recognize him even if he beats me! I'll take care of it if something goes wrong! But if the female relatives are bumped, I will come back and rip your skin off. !"

Fang Jun explained very domineeringly.

The servants responded with a bang.

When Lu heard the shouting in the yard, she was startled and ran out to ask: "Erlang, safety is the most important thing, don't make trouble!" As for her second son's ability to cause trouble wherever he goes, she is in her heart. It's nothing at all...

Fang Jun waved his hand perfunctorily: "Don't worry, mother, just be prepared. In this city of Chang'an, there is no one who dares to go to a certain room Erlang to ask for a bargain!"

Lu Shi had no choice but to exhort him.

When the female family members and servants heard the words, they were also excited. It was said that this Erlang was really walking sideways in Chang'an with this...

Hurala, a dozen or so people, without taking a car, went out of the main gate, strolled along the street, and headed for Suzaku Street.

Just after turning to Suzaku Street, Fang Jun only felt that his eyes were really not enough.

There was a bustling crowd in front of us, and the cars were like flowing water and horses like dragons. Naturally, there were many figures such as scholars, walking by with a stern face and a serious look; A large group of servants roared away, attracting passers-by to look sideways; among them were Turks dressed in light furs, braided hair, and black leather boots; Wutianzhu wearing earrings and shawls; and wearing small sleeved robes , The Central Asian Hu people with embroidered patterns on their leather caps and silkscreens passed by proudly.

In a short period of time, Fang Jun has seen people from dozens of different countries coming and going on the streets of Chang'an.

Of course, the most of them are the ladies of each family. It is a rare opportunity to relax, and the ladies want to take the opportunity to come out and see.

As a result, it naturally provokes countless rogues. They giggled and mingled in the crowd, talking obscene words in their mouths, and searching for handsome women in their eyes, regardless of whether they were young women in costumes or charming girls, as long as they looked for them. When they arrived at the prey, they crowded in groups of three or five, shoving and shoving to make the crowd chaotic.

Fang Jun hurriedly instructed the family members to gather together, surrounded by servants, and slowly merged into the flow of people on Suzaku Street.
