Chapter 208 The Male Immortal Works
When Mingruo and his group arrived at Luocheng, it was dark. They saw a brightly lit city from afar.
Mingruo looked at the sky: "The city gate should have been closed, right?"
When Fifteen heard the wife's words, he immediately replied: "Luocheng is different from other cities. The city gate is closed only at midnight. After Xu, I will enter the city and pay some money to pass by."
"..." The commercial atmosphere in Luocheng is really strong.
After paying the money for 15, the carriage entered the city smoothly.
"Master, should you live in a more peaceful place or a lively place." If the master goes out alone, he will definitely choose a quiet place. However, it may not be necessary to have a wife here.
"Go to Yunlai Inn." The little princess there is convenient for him to visit.
"yes."
The more the carriage goes to the city, the more prosperous the streets around it are. There are shops of all sizes along the streets, and the business looks good. Moreover, there are more pedestrians here at night than in the imperial capital during the day.
The carriage drove into a wide street. Mingruo suspected that half of the street here was Si Haochen's industries - restaurants, clothing shops, cultural relics shops, jewelry shops, rouge shops, snack shops... You can see ideas for Bai Shen everywhere, such as tastings, models, posters, points redemption, VIP discounts...
The carriage detoured directly on the back street and entered Yunlai Inn through the back door. The main body of the inn is a three-story building, which is a very magnificent building on this street. There is also a cross-yard of east and west courtyards behind it.
The inn shopkeeper arranged for them to live in Dongqianyuan, which is a standard courtyard. It also has a side door that opens directly to the street. It is very convenient to enter and exit without passing through the inn.
The bumpy carriage made Mingruo a little wilted. Si Haochen asked the shopkeeper to prepare hot water, and the little girl needed to clean up and relieve her fatigue.
Mingruo found that the furniture in the room was completely new, so he turned his head and asked Si Haochen: "Is this inn yours?"
“This street is mine.”
"Uh..." It seems that the estimate of the "half street" just now was still too conservative. It's true that my boyfriend is the boss.
"Are you satisfied with your beloved concubine?" Si Haochen asked with a smile.
"It's okay." Mingruo took out his clothes and entered the bathroom.
After a comfortable hot bath, Mingruo was overcrowded and went to the roof of the inn to see the stars.
Si Haochen sat beside Mingruo, watching her rub her round belly while praising her, "Luocheng's soup dumplings are so delicious."
The night in Luocheng is full of bright lights and wine, so the stars look much dim. But looking at the scenery of the lights in the distance is also beautiful. Such night scenes make Mingruo feel inexplicably intimate, very much like a modern city - people will fall asleep, but the city will never.
Seeing Ming Ruo yearning for him in the center of his eyes, Si Haochen said, "Do you want to go on a walk on the street?"
"I can't walk if I eat too much." I was almost distracted by the carriage, so I didn't have the strength to go out and roam.
"I can carry you away for my husband."
"No, thank you." Mingruo stretched, "Let's go down."
"I'll take you down by calling me," Si Haochen had a cunning smile on his lips.
"Then I won't go down anymore, I'll live on the roof tonight." Mingruo shook the thin cloak on his body and acted to lie on the roof.
"You." Si Haochen took the opportunity to catch her, and a princess flew into the yard with her arms.
"I'm such a clever little ghost." Mingruo put his chin on Si Haochen's shoulder.
"..." This girl has the ability to make people love and hate.
The next day was the Rain Prayer Festival, and the entire Luocheng was decorated with lights and even the pedestrians on the road were dressed very brightly.
"What are the customs of the Rain Prayer Festival?" Ming Ruo searched the original owner's memory and seemed to have no impression of this festival.
Fifteen thought for a while: "She took a bath and changed into new clothes, ate sweet rice from black rice, drank flower tea, and went to the Rain Temple to scent."
"Rain Temple..." Ming Ruo asked with a smile, "Is Rain God surnamed Xiao?"
"Ah..." Shiwuyi looked confused, "Does Empress Yu Shen still have a surname?"
"Haha." Mingruo couldn't help laughing when he saw that Shiwu thought so seriously.
Si Haochen walked out of the room: "What's so happy?"
"What are we studying the surname of Yu Shen?" Ming Ruo said seriously.
"..." What's the point of studying this?
Mingruo took Si Haochen to stroll on the street. He wanted to eat sweet rice on the rainy day. There were many small stalls selling sweet rice on the street. Mix black glutinous rice with various colors of dried fruits and steamed them. Use a mold to press it into the shape of flowers or small animals. Put a bamboo stick in it and eat it directly in your hand.
Mingruo adhered to the tourism psychology of "all come here" and went to the countryside to buy a piece. He took a bite and had a soft, sweet and delicious bite.
"It's delicious, do you want to eat it?" Mingruo turned around and asked Si Haochen.
Mingruo held the purse in his hand and planned to buy a piece for Si Haochen to try it. Si Haochen directly held Mingruo's wrist, pulled the black rice to his lips, and took a bite.
"..." Actually, this is nothing. After all, it was not the first time Si Haochen stole the snacks from her. But the old lady who sold sweet rice kept looking at them and laughing, Mingruo felt a little embarrassed.
In order to save Jiongjiong, who is godly, Mingruo pointed to the crowd gathering in another place: "Where are they all?"
The mother-in-law who sells sweet rice said: "This year, the National Master presided over the sacrifice in the Rain Temple. These people went to pray for blessings and burn incense, and blessed the weather and the family to have a good time and happiness."
"Let's go and have a look, too." Si Haochen was about to agree, but he heard Ming Ruo continue, "I have never seen a male god work."
Si Haochen: "Don't go."
"I really won't go?" Ming Ruo confirmed again.
"Yes." Si Haochen nodded firmly.
"Then I'll go by myself." Mingruo blinked his big eyes.
Si Haochen was speechless. This was his princess, what else could he do besides spoiling him?
Seeing Si Haochen holding his hand, he was reluctant to follow the crowd to the direction of the Rain Temple. Mingruo's eyes were lowered and he smiled secretly.
The Rain Temple is built on a high platform, and the sacrificial ceremony is held in the open space in front of the temple. The incense tables are very simple, with only incense, candles, fruits and vegetables, and no three animals.
There are many pilgrims today, and there is a huge incense burner under the platform to facilitate the pilgrims to burn incense. Mingruo did not intend to join in the fun, but just stood in the distance and watched.
I saw the National Master wearing a black brocade robe, with red lotus patterns embroidered with collar on the cuffs and jade lotus crowns on his head, standing behind the incense table. Although he was far away and could not see his appearance clearly, his figure and momentum were still very intimidating.
The National Master first lit the incense, then picked up the white jade sword on the incense table, pulled a sword flower and pointed it straight into the sky. The faint thunder sounded from far to near, but it was not loud. Mingruo was still wondering what methods should be used to create the effect of the thunder sound.
The sky is still blue and white clouds are bright in the sun, but fine raindrops fall.
