Chapter 122: Shangyuan Festival


The Shangyuan Festival, also known as the Lantern Festival, is also an important festival during the Spring Festival.

It began during the period of Qin Shihuang.

During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was officially designated as the Shangyuan Festival.

Shangyuan Festival is a very important festival in the Tang Dynasty.

On this day, Chang'an City is very lively.

Not only are men playing, but also those boudoir ladies and concubines who usually stay close to home.

They will also wear veils and play in groups.

Of course, guards are also indispensable around the female family members.

On this day, the most active ones are the boys and girls.

They are all dressed up and down, or show off their flowers.

Maybe, they will meet the person they like.

This day is also the only time of the year when there is no curfew and it is a time for carnival.

No, it's not dark yet.

Xue Rengui and Wang Li started to prepare the ox-cart.

Although Wang Zhigui was a marquis, there was still no carriage.

On the one hand, Wang Zhi felt that the ox-cart was quite good, although it was a little slow.

But it was comfortable.

On the other hand, the carriages of this era were too bumpy.

Wang Zhi couldn't stand it.

It would be good to wait until the springs were developed and then build a carriage by himself.

Originally, Wang Qiang and his wife were unwilling to go, but Wang Zhi persuaded them and agreed to go.

Life was very hard in the past, and it was not close to Chang'an City.

During the Lantern Festival, Wang Qiang had not been there a few times, let alone the Wang Li family.

Now that you have the conditions, Wang Zhijue, why don't you go have fun and go shopping.

There is no TV now.

It's really boring to stay at home and watch TV series.

The final result was that, except for Zhao Qian, the big housekeeper who stayed behind, everyone was going to Chang'an City to watch the lanterns.

Several little maids were also eager to give it a try.

They didn't expect that they would cherish the time they could go out to play when they arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.

"Ziyue, do you have something to say?

You look like you are holding back and feeling uncomfortable."

Of course I want to change into new clothes when I go out.

This is the case no matter what era.

Wang Zhi is also changing, but he doesn't know how to wear them, so he has to ask Ziyue to help.

It's not that Wang Zhi has become a dandy or stupid, but that the clothes in ancient times are really different from those now.

In the past, when I was an ordinary citizen, it was okay to be wrinkled, but now if I go out and wrinkle a little, Wang Li will blame Ziyue, so it has become like this.

"Master Marquis, you are destined to be the Marquis.

Look, you can't even wear clothes."

Ziyue snickered while helping Wang Zhi tidy up his clothes.

Originally, Ziyue tried not to laugh, but since she felt Wang Zhi's casualness and calmness, she gradually became bolder.

"Master Marquis, I'm not a talkative slave.

It's a bit too much for you to let your servants go out for fun.

Look at which servants and maids in Chang'an City can leave the house if there is no serious matter, and they are not afraid of being damaged. rule".

Ziyue reminded her carefully.

After all, this Ziyue used to be a young lady from an official family.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine.

Besides, this year is just the Lantern Festival, so it's okay to relax a little."

Wang Zhi said nonchalantly.

Blind oppression is not a good thing.

"Okay, whatever you say is what it is."

Ziyue knew that Wang Zhi would say this.

Although she had not followed Wang Zhi for a long time, she got to know his character a little bit.

Before it got dark, a group of people rushed towards Chang'an City.

Originally, Wang Zhi planned to join Cheng Chumo and others to go shopping together.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin were not there, and they all went to maintain order.

There were too many people today, and Jinwu Guards were on standby.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoli, you two, don't run around.

There are so many people.

If you don't pay attention, you will get lost."

Looking at the huge flow of people, Wang Zhi warned, these two are the most lively in the house.

Thinking about it, Da Ya is the best.

There are a lot of snacks on both sides of the street.

There are so many meat pies, soufflés, and soup cakes.

The little girl's eyes are straight when she sees them.

When have she ever seen such delicious food?

Wang Zhi felt distressed for a while.

He would like to take his younger brothers and sisters to the city more often in the future.

"Brother, I want this, this, and this."

Xiaoya was not polite and paid for several delicious foods in a row.

Da Ya was a lot more reserved, but her eyes were shining, and she looked like she wanted it very much.

Now is not the time for Wang Zhi to be calculating and careful.

With a wave of his hand, everyone can get one share.

In an instant, there was a burst of cheers, and even Ziyue and the others behind were very happy.

Unexpectedly, the host's meal included people like himself.

The stall owner was also very happy.

It would be great if everyone could meet such a proprietor.

Now there are more than a dozen copies.

"This kid is spending money randomly again."

Mrs.

Wang Li complained that in the past Wang Qiang was often away from home.

It was Mrs.

Wang Li who supported the family.

Every time Wang Qiang brought back money, Mrs.

Wang Li would hide it.

She was a penny-pincher and wished she could break a penny in half and use it. .

"Okay, we don't lack this little money now.

Let's have fun today.

I owed you before."

Wang Qiang took Wang Li's hand and whispered.

"What are you doing?

It's so bad for the children to see."

Mrs.

Wang Li's pretty face turned red, complaining that Wang Qiang was not serious.

"Dad, Mom, you guess the riddles, I'll take them to see the lanterns."

Wang Zhi accidentally saw his father's behavior behind him and couldn't help but praise him.

So he took his younger brothers, sisters, and Xue Rengui and walked to the other side, leaving his father and mother to have some private space.

"The eldest son still has eyes."

Wang Qiang was very happy.

It had been a long time since he had been alone with Mr.

Wang and Li.

It seemed that it had been since he had a child.

"Wow, brother, is this a bear's lantern?

It's so beautiful."

Xiaoya pointed to a bear-shaped lantern with an excited look on her face.

"I think it's still pretty.

Look, this horse is so handsome."

Da Ya feels that the shape of this winged Pegasus is more beautiful.

"No, no, I think the shape of this centipede is a bit more powerful."

Xue Rengui looked at the centipede.

It looked domineering with so many claws.

As a result, a few people had a lively discussion, but there was no big argument.

There were also a few laughs from time to time, which reassured Wang Zhi that there would be no quarrels.

"Ziyue, if there is anything you like, I will buy it for you."

Looking at Ziyue standing next to him with an envious look on his face, Wang Zhi suddenly felt a little distressed.

The dignified young lady, who was originally well-dressed and well-fed, was reduced to the status of a maid.

It was his fault, otherwise, Ziyue The end may be even worse.

"No, no, I'm fine as I am now."

Ziyue quickly shook her head and signaled that she didn't want it.

People must know how to be content.

They must remember that in the beginning, they were almost sold to a brothel.

That place However, Wang Zhi still bought some rouge and gouache and gave it to Ziyue.

He hugged a large bag of rouge and gouache tightly.

Suddenly, Ziyue's eyes became a little moist
