Chapter 12 Shangyuan Festival

Xie Yi was temporarily immersed in the joy of becoming the chief minister of the Jin royal palace, and did not know that someone was planning to frame him.

I don’t know that the other party’s so-called speculation and scrutiny are inseparable from ten, not far from the facts.

Today is the Chinese New Year Festival, and the most lively time in Chang'an City is the year.

On this day, in order to celebrate the festival and facilitate the people to watch lanterns and play, there is no curfew in Chang'an City. The people are not restricted, and there are quite a few people who go out to watch lanterns and play.

The Xie family was no exception. Unable to resist Xiaoman's desire and begging, Xie Yi took Du Xijun and his sister out to watch the lights.

However, first of all, you have to light a large colored lantern at your door. According to Chang'an customs, the homes of powerful officials will set up lights at the door for the people to watch and demonstrate their status and strength.

Depending on the status and financial resources and the owner's preferences, the size and shape of the colorful lanterns are different. Some of them will also be matched with some gold, silver and gems to achieve a dazzling effect.

Some powerful families also use Shangyuan colored lanterns as a way to compete with each other, which is extremely gorgeous.

The people are happy to see it. In this way, they can also see more novel and beautiful lanterns. It is also a great pleasure in this era of poor spiritual life.

The colorful lanterns at the door of Xie’s house are not very gorgeous, nor are they equipped with any gems and jade artifacts. They are just a "fish every year".

If you have to say it is special, it is probably the two plum blossom pots next to the colorful lanterns. Under the lights, the fragrance is elegant and more unique.

This is specially made by Lu Tong with craftsmen and drawings. It is exquisite and beautiful, and the shape is different from other companies, which attracts many people from Anyefang to come and watch.

As the master, Xie Yishao was not allowed to say hello to his neighbors. The people of Anyefang already knew that the recently moved in was very young and polite, so they bowed and greeted him.

After greeting, Xie Yi picked up his sister Xiaoman. Du Xijun followed him and was about to go to Zhuque Street to enjoy the lanterns. However, he had just passed through the crowd and unexpectedly saw a beautiful figure Zheng Liwan appeared at the gate of Xie's mansion at some point.

"Miss Zheng"

"Sir Xie, Mrs. Du went out to watch the lanterns and saw the unique lanterns of your mansion, so she stopped to watch them." Zheng Liwan said softly, Fenglefang where her home was located was separated from this street. When she saw this, she was attracted by the eyes.

Du Xijun smiled sweetly, looked at the colorful lights at the door, thinking: Perhaps for Zheng Liwan, those two plum blossoms are also very attractive.

Xie Yi joked: "It is an honor for my mansion to be able to enter Mrs. Zheng's beautiful eyes."

Zheng Liwan said, "Where is the unique way of Mr. Xie. Such a unique fish-shaped lantern is indeed rare."

"My wife is also going to Zhuque Street to watch the lanterns? Why don't you go together?" Xie Yi sighed in his heart. The name of the Tang Dynasty was very different from that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Calling a woman "My Lady" always feels like she takes advantage of others.

Without waiting for Zheng Liwan to answer, Abi clapped her hands behind her and said, "Okay, okay, Shangyuan Watch the Lanterns, there are so many people."

In this way, Zheng Liwan was not easy to object, or she never wanted to object. So, she walked hand in hand with Du Xijun and a group of five people walked onto the Suzaku Street.

Wang Yongan followed with a few guards to prevent danger from happening.

During the Chinese New Year Festival, the vast and empty Zhuque Street is crowded, which is no different from the attractions in the Golden Week in later generations.

I think it is because the curfew is so frustrating. Tonight, almost all the people in Chang'an took to the streets to carnival.

There are colorful lanterns on both sides of the street, competing with each other and making each other interesting, attracting countless people to watch. On the street are hawking vendors selling colorful lanterns, food, jewelry and toys, etc.

From time to time, children are carrying lanterns, and women are smiling and walking by. The Zhuque Street is full of cheerful people, and the festive atmosphere is very strong.

It is inevitable to be crowded, but fortunately, Wang Yongan and his guards helped to open the road. Passers-by saw Xie Yi and others dressed in luxurious clothes and had extraordinary demeanor, and knew that they were wealthy families, and they would take the initiative to avoid them.

Of course, there are also many people, especially men, who are envious. Look at them, they hold their children on the Lantern Festival and bring their beautiful wives and beautiful couples to enjoy the lanterns. They will have the blessings of all the people when they go back tonight, which is really enviable.

Along the way, Du Xijun and Zheng Liwan walked hand in hand, talking and laughing. Although they had only met for the second time, they were like good friends.

Even Xie Yi was a little jealous. Fortunately, Xiaoman was more attached to his brother and would not be neglected. The little guy immediately called him hungry when he saw the exquisitely prepared delicacies.

It is a rare festival and festive celebration. Xie Yi naturally responds to his requests. Xiaoman is eating delicious food while looking around. After a while, his mouth is full of oil.

When Du Xijun saw this, she was a little overwhelmed. She took Xiaoman and took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and palm.

Zheng Liwan said casually: "Xiaoman is really happy with brothers and sisters-in-law like you."

"My grandmother died long ago, and only such a sister will naturally be more pampered." As soon as Xie Yi finished speaking, a scream suddenly broke out from the crowd.

Because it was too crowded, someone was carrying a lantern colliding with others, which actually ignited the clothes. The sudden fire that soared into the sky caused chaos on the crowded streets.

The crowd suddenly rushed over, making people unable to react, and Xie Yi and his party were dispersed. Du Xijun hugged Xiaoman, and A Bi who was joking on the side were squeezed to one side, while Xie Yi and Zheng Liwan were rushed to the other side.

Very bad situation.

If it is dispersed or lost, or if it is trampled, it will be troublesome. Fortunately, in the chaos, Xie Yi saw that Wang Yongan had already squeezed to Du Xijun, safe and worry-free.

However, Zheng Liwan was rushed by the sudden crowd and staggered, almost falling down, and might even be stepped on. In the critical moment, someone suddenly grabbed her white wrist and gently dragged her waist, and then stood firm in an instant.

I looked closely and saw who wasn't Xie Yi?

"Be careful, lady"

"Yes" Zheng Liwan's face subconsciously blushed when she was held by him the second time.

"Let's go..." Xie Yi held Zheng Liwan's hand and was about to leave, but she didn't expect the beauty to frown and screamed in pain. It was obvious that she had twisted her feet just now.

What's worse is that another wave of people suddenly squeezed over. Xie Yi was worried that the beauty would fall, so he subconsciously pulled Zheng Liwan and pulled her in front of him, embracing each other and standing in the surging crowd, and would never be dispersed.

Everything happened so suddenly that Zheng Liwan's heart tightened, her mouth opened slightly, but she exclaimed but didn't say anything.

Relying on Xie Yi's solid body, the warmth and protection of never-before had ever been overwhelmed, causing the heart that had been silent for a long time to tremble suddenly, and the calm lake water suddenly roared.

When he looked up again, he saw Xie Yi's warm eyes staring at his face. Zheng Liwan subconsciously dodged, and her cheeks were flushed and hot.

Looking at the charming Jue Shu who was close to her, especially her moving eyes reflected by the light, Xie Yi subconsciously felt a little throbbing in his heart, and even involuntarily restless in his blood...
