Chapter 102: The Sister of the Yaner

The lantern festival in Chang'an is mainly distributed in two large areas, one line, one line, the line is Zhuque Street, and the point is East City. From this year, the lantern festival is officially set for three days. Tonight is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the peak of the lantern festival. As soon as the sky got dark, every household had dinner early, locked the door, took their wife and son to the street to watch the lanterns. Chang'an was already prosperous, and tonight was just on the Lantern Festival, so it responded to the "clouds cover the moon on August 15th, and the lanterns on the 15th of the first lunar month"

As the saying goes, I saw pavilions, towers, pavilions, pavilions, and scattered jade on the long streets. The trees are hanging from far and near, like jade umbrellas. When the ice wheels rise and the glory is full, there are many lamp stands on the streets. The silver candle planet is brilliant and shining like daytime. It is so exquisite and wonderful. These three nights are the carnival of the Tang Dynasty. Thousands of households never sleep. Men, women, young and old, nobles and common people all go to the street to visit the lantern market.

Since ancient times, the Yuan lanterns were full, so later generations have said:

The east wind blooms at night, thousands of flowers and trees blow down, and the stars are like rain.

The road is filled with fragrance of BMW carvings, the sound of phoenixes and silences, the light of pots turns, and fish and dragons dance overnight.

The moths and the willows are golden wisps, and the smiles are filled with fragrance.

Looking for him for a long time, when I looked back, the man was there, in the dim place

There were few pedestrians along the Qinrenfang in Cui's Mansion. Li Qing rode his horse all the way and finally got rid of the followers. The Zhuque Street was approaching, and the pedestrians on the road were gradually blocked, so Li Qing had to tie the reins and let the horse go slowly.

"What are you anxious about? Do you want to get rid of me?" Cui Liuliu caught up in panting.

"Ms. Cui, I was just a guest at the Sining Prince's Mansion yesterday. It would be rude to go there again today. It would be better for me to accompany the lady another day." Although Li Qing happened to get her help to get rid of the person who followed her, it was also absurd to accompany her to Li Lin's Mansion to learn beauty.

Cui Liuliu came for him and was reluctant to let him go. She sneered and said, "Don't try to swear by me. I didn't say I wanted to go to the Sining Prince's Mansion. Humph! If you don't accompany me tonight, I will tell my mother that you coaxed me out and want to take the opportunity to be careless to me."

Naturally, Li Qing would not take the threat of a yellow-haired girl to heart, and he was even more lazy to care about her. He didn't have to go to the Sining Prince's Mansion. He thought that he had nothing to do tonight, so he smiled and said, "If the lady is interested, why don't we go to the lantern market."

Cui Liuliu thought Li Qing was afraid of her and was really proud of her. Her move was tried and done many times, so she thought Li Qing was like other men, really afraid that her mother would complain to the emperor, so she weighed the pros and cons before she was willing to play with her.

The more she thought about it, she became more and more proud. She urged the horse to move forward, turned around and chuckled, "You don't allow you to make excuses again, come with me obediently."

The crowds of people were surging on the Zhuque Street and no longer riding horses. Li Qing led two horses and looked around behind her, enjoying the prosperity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. At this time, the lights were in full swing, and the streets were full of lights, men and women playing with lights, flowers were blooming, and the common ladies were bustling with people and ladies, and vendors were making noises.

In front of a small stall, there were a wide variety of headdresses, wrapped in various silk threads or inlaid with a few inferior pearls, which attracted a large group of girls to watch the selection. Cui Liuliu was tall and strong, so she pushed a few girls away and squeezed in. Soon, she picked up a large handful of headdresses and stood in front of the bronze mirror to try them out one by one. She was not satisfied. When she glanced at her, she saw that the croaked white jade hairpin on her hand was quite distinctive. She reached out and snatched it over and wore it on her head and looked at it left and right. Others saw that she was dressed in luxurious clothes, but they did not dare to mess with her, so they threw down the headdresses in their hands and went elsewhere.

"Hey! How do you say I'll wear this headdress?" After shouting for a long time, Li Qing was not in response to her. When his eyes slanted, he saw him staring at someone's back in a daze. She couldn't help but feel coquettish: "Hey! Didn't you hear me?"

Li Qing did not hear her. He found that one of them looked very familiar, and he was asking people about the road with two followers.

When the man turned his face, Li Qing suddenly shouted, "Mr. Yuhu! County Magistrate Wang! Is it you?" He recognized that this person seemed to be Wang Changling, the county magistrate of Yibin County. Li Qing did not admit his mistake. This person was Wang Changling. He had just arrived in the capital and was asking for directions on Zhuque Street. Suddenly he heard someone call him. Mr. Yuhu was Li Qing's patent. He immediately reacted. When he turned around, he saw Li Qing wave to him ten steps away. He met an old friend in a foreign land. This indescribable joy filled the chests of the two. The two actually hugged each other with laughter.

"Young master, there's me!"

A follower next to him had a white face and long beard, but he was not Gao Zhandao.

"Sir, I'm there!" The other two were very popular, and it was the county official Zhang Yiming.

Li Qing was extremely happy. He hugged the two of them with one hand and said repeatedly: "You are here too, great! This is great!"

"Let's go! Let's find a place to talk." Li Qingxing and the three of them were about to leave. When he looked up, he saw Cui Liuliu blocking the way, staring at him fiercely, "Where are you going!"

"Miss Cui, I met a few old friends. Why don't I send you back first? I will definitely accompany you to go shopping someday."

Cui Liuliu was in high spirits and was not willing to let him go. She put her hands on her hips and said with a cold face: "No! I don't care about your friend. Since you have promised to go shopping with me, you have to keep your word."

If the ignorance of Yang Huahua is Li Qing's fear of history, if the indifference to Princess Leng is the cause of his man's self-esteem, then he really hates a woman, a ruthless and extremely selfish little woman, he held back his anger and advised again: "Ms. Cui, please stop making trouble. I'll send you home. I have something important here."

Cui Liuliu turned her face and turned her eyes into the sky without any movement.

Li Qing snorted lightly, shrugged her shoulders, and threw the reins to her and said lightly: "I'm sorry! Miss Cui, this is your horse, I'll give it to you."

He pulled the three of them without looking back: "Let's go!"

Before Li Qing could take ten steps, he heard Cui Liuliu screaming, "Li Qing, if you dare to leave, I must let the emperor chop your head!" Passersby looked at her, but the eyes of several scholars who went to Beijing to take the exam were circling, as if they had heard of some business opportunity and could not stop.

Li Qing's face was calm, as if he didn't hear anything. He just led the three of them to continue walking forward, but Wang Changling grabbed him, "Yangming, is she a princess?"

Li Qing sighed, "She is not a princess, her mother is the princess of Datang, and her father is the minister of Dali Temple."

Gao Zhandao was shocked, "Young Master, how could you get involved in such a tough and arrogant girl?"

"When will I want to provoke her?" Li Qing said angrily: "If Li Linfu's people hadn't followed me, how could I be with her?" He said briefly that Cui Liuliu was stalking at the entrance of the alley.

Wang Changling smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Forget it, brother! Don't be skeptical about it with your little mother. Besides, if it weren't for her, how could we meet? It's obvious that everything was arranged by God."

Li Qing shook his head helplessly. Even if he was angry, he really couldn't leave this little girl alone. If something happened, he would not be able to afford to be guilty and would not be able to explain to the curtain in the future. So he turned around and waved, "Let's find a place to rest, you should be exhausted, come together!"

Cui Liuliu bent down and shouted loudly: "You think I am, will I leave if you ask me to leave? Tell you, I will not leave today!" She turned around and strode to a lotus lamp, staring at the lamp pole, without moving.

"If you don't feel embarrassed, if you are not afraid, then stand up! I'm leaving." After saying that, Li Qing pulled the three of them and continued to move forward.

"Young master, this is not good!" Gao Zhandao was a little worried. He looked back at Cui Liuliu and saw more and more people watching her, as if she was just a beauty lamp.

Li Qing smiled, "It's okay, I naturally know it."

Cui Liuliu waited for a long time, but did not see Li Qing coming up to beg her. When she turned around, she saw that he was really getting further and further away, and she didn't care about herself at all. This was the first time she encountered this situation. She saw everyone whispering around and pointing at the ears. There were also a few scholars smiling strangely. She was panicked and scared. She ran forward a few steps to chase after her, but her face couldn't be kept. She bit her lips tightly, pointed at the onlookers and shouted fiercely: "What do you think? Do you know who I am?"

Unexpectedly, after she finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter, and a few of them screamed: "Of course I know, you are my mother!" More and more people gathered around, asking each other about what happened. When did Cui Liuliu encounter such a thing, she was in a panic and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, the horse was tied to a tree and tied a knot. She couldn't take it away at all. She had to throw the horse off and ran away, and hit someone on the body. When she looked up, she said, "Who was Li Qing."

Li Qing smiled and said, "Let's go! I'll invite you to have a drink."

She glared at him angrily, "I don't want you to care about me." But her legs couldn't help but follow him forward.

Zhang Yiming came over and led the horse, while walking, secretly looking at her. After all, he was raised in a small county. He had never seen a noble woman of royal blood before. Cui Liuliu found that he was peeking at him, and rolled his eyes. He took a few steps and followed Li Qing, ignoring Wang Changling and Gao Zhandao.

Several people found a small restaurant and sat down. Cui Liuliu refused to sit with them, so she found a seat by herself. Li Qing ordered a pot of wine and a few side dishes for her and asked her to drink it by herself, but she told Wang Changling and the others about her separation.

"Yangming, you just said that you were followed by Li Linfu's people. What's going on?" Wang Changling asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.

Li Qing smiled and said, "You can't imagine it! I am now the commander of the East Palace, the sixth-rank captain of Zhaowu. I was just promoted to the post at noon today."

"What!" The three of them shouted in unison and looked at each other. They had just entered Beijing a few days ago, and in a blink of an eye they became the commander of the Eastern Palace. If they didn't say anything about this, no one would believe it after hearing it.

"It's a long story!" Li Qing lowered his voice and described his experience after entering Beijing. After all, some things cannot be said, especially Yang Yuhuan and Liang'er's life experience.

After hearing this, the three of them sighed long and could not have imagined that so many things had happened in these few days.

Li Qing poured a glass of wine for each of them, changed the topic, and asked with a smile: "Tell me, why did you come to the capital?"

After a few people looked at each other, Wang Changling sighed and said, "We all left after we abandoned our official position."

"What's going on?" Li Qing was startled, "Is it related to the new county magistrate?"

Wang Changling nodded, "That's right!" He raised his glass and drank the wine in the glass, saying sadly: "Not only me, but the people of Yibin County miss Li Zhubu very much!"

"What happened in Yibin County? Tell me quickly!" Li Qing grabbed Wang Changling's wine glass, and his eagerness fell on his eyes.

"Young Master, let me say it! Lord Wang has his own difficulties."

Gao Zhandao took over the topic and sorted out his thoughts: "The next day after the new county magistrate came, he asked everyone to welcome him. This was the right thing to welcome him. Unexpectedly, the dog official stuffed a note for each person and asked each person to pay two to five stagnant of money. Naturally, everyone refused to do it. As a result, his welcome banquet was deserted, with only two or three people going. The dog official lost face and thought that it was Wang County Magistrate who was making trouble. A few days later, he collected some of the usual remarks of Wang County Magistrate and ran to the county to sue Wang for his irresponsible discussions on the government. He heard that the governor was also preparing to write to the court."

At this time, Wang Changling sighed and said sadly: "I have been used to living a comfortable life with Yangming, but I can no longer stand this kind of cowardice. In anger, I wrote a letter of resignation and left, but now I regret it. Once I leave, the new county magistrate can do whatever he wants and only suffer the people of Yibin County."

He took out a thick booklet from his bag, "This is the book written by the people who wrote ten thousand people when Yangming was dismissed from acting as county magistrate last year. Now it has increased from 30,000 to 80,000. The people all hope you will go back!"

Li Qing said nothing, raised his neck and drank the glass of wine, but felt that the wine was extremely bitter, his eye sockets were a little sour, he took the letter of ten thousand people and put it carefully in his bag.

"I wonder what sir's going to do in the future?"

Wang Changling shook his head and smiled bitterly: "What else can I plan to come to the capital to find a few old friends, and we can drink and write poems together, or we can travel around."

"What about you?" Li Qing asked Gao Zhandao and Zhang Yiming again.

Gao Zhandao played with the wine glass in his hand and smiled faintly, "I remember someone bet with me on a boat to Yibin County. If he was transferred to the capital within two years, I would be his bodyguard for ten years, but he would go to Beijing in just one year. I would admit that I would lose, so I would naturally be his bodyguard for ten years."

"You guy!" Li Qing punched him in the shoulder and laughed, "I really forgot about this."

"And I am!" Zhang Yiming raised his hand and said, "I have discussed with Skeletons and the others. If the lord can still support us, I will go back and call them all. If the lord cannot support us, I have to commit myself to being a thief, be the deputy leader of the lord gang, and do secret matters with them."

Speaking of secret matters, Li Qing had a thought in his mind. Since ancient times, no one who has done things has done behind his back has done something shameful. If he fights with others with great integrity, he may not even know how to die. It is rare that these people have been with him for a long time, and it would be a pity if they don’t use them well."

Thinking of this, Li Qing said to Zhang Yiming: "You have a few days off first, and then go back to Yibin County to call all the brothers for me. Come to Beijing to do things for me, so I will naturally raise them." Zhang Yiming was overjoyed and responded repeatedly, without any intention of drinking, just wanting to return to Yibin now.

At this time, a shout came from the door, "Brother Hu Gun, will you be denied the red envelope you promised to be lost?"
