spring event night

The end of the new year is approaching, although the royal family has a case like Duanqing, the homes of the common people have not been affected.There are door god Zhong Kui and peach amulet sellers everywhere on the street. On street corners or on the side of the road, some people give porridge to pray for blessings. Even beggars on the roadside can hear the sound of copper plates being smashed into broken bowls from time to time.

Jiang Shan's illness was just right, Yun Xian was afraid that he would catch the wind again, so he wrapped him up extra tightly.She wore fox fur over the padded coat and a Guanyin hood with a circle of white fluffy fur around the side of the hat, which made Jiang Shan's face extraordinarily small.

Jiang Shan got down from the carriage, wearing a pair of new lambskin boots on his face, the boots were sewn full of rabbit fur, it was very warm.

I don't know if it's because he stayed with Yun Xian all day, but at first glance, Jiang Shan's sense of prudence is a little less, and there is a sense of cuteness between his eyebrows and eyes.

Yun Xian and Lu Shang met in a teahouse, the surrounding area was very lively, restaurants, inns, rice shops, butcher shops, vendors selling snacks, and silk and satin shops, there was an endless stream of shouts.

Yun Xian went upstairs with Jiang Shan, and brought Jiang Shan into a private room, where hot tea with fresh fruit was placed on the table, Yun Xian said to him: "You sit here for a while, I will talk with Lu Shang next door, you have something to do Just call me."

Jiang Shan agreed, and while taking off the fox fur, he sat down by the charcoal basin.After Yun Xian settles down Jiang Shan, he opens the door and goes to the next door.

Downstairs there is a storyteller. While eating fruit, Jiang Shan heard stories told by Mr. Shu. The stories are full of talented men and beautiful ladies. What an expensive way.

Just as he was hearing Xing Chu, there was a sudden commotion from the side. Jiang Shan looked and saw a woman in brocade clothes walking out of a private room. She was wearing a veiled hat, followed by several servant girls.Jiang Shan was a little curious, most of the noble ladies in the capital didn't leave the door and didn't leave the door. Look at this woman's attire, either rich or expensive, why did she appear in the market in such a big way.

The woman went downstairs and stopped in front of the storyteller's platform, and a servant girl behind her threw an ingot of gold onto it.The woman said: "Such stories are all nonsense, and they are not allowed to be told in the future."

After finishing speaking, the woman led the maid and left, leaving behind the storyteller and a group of onlookers who were puzzled.The storyteller was especially annoyed, he relied on this for his living, if you don't ask him to talk about this, what will he use to support his family?

Jiang Shan watched the commotion upstairs, when Yun Xian and Lu Shang finished talking, he pushed the door in and said, "What are you laughing at?"

"There was a woman just now, did you see it?"

Yun Xian nodded, "That's the granddaughter of Shoufu's family." Jiang Shan was a little surprised, "The granddaughter of Shoufu's family? How come there's no one around when you come out, what's the matter with a few maids?"

Yun Xian sneered, as if he looked down on this woman very much, "She was very talented in reading and writing since she was a child, and she felt that she was different from those noble girls who were raised in the boudoir in the capital, so she ran out from time to time to win a different reputation. Son. Earlier, she had been to her brother's poetry club. Those sons and daughters didn't think she was a strange woman, they just laughed at her secretly. A few good-tempered ones, because she was a woman and belonged to Shoufu's family The granddaughter, let her go. On the contrary, she thinks that she is better than those men, which is really ridiculous."

While listening to Yun Xian, Jiang Shan said, "Then why did she come here? There is no poetry festival here."

Yun Xian glanced downstairs, and said with a smile: "Yuemo is still about Duanqing, and now everyone in Beijing is guessing that Duancheng killed Duanqing, because the two brothers are vying to marry the first assistant's family. Granddaughter. The storytellers in the restaurant and teahouse were all talking about this earlier, but Shoufu sent someone to suppress it. She may have come to see how the wind is going outside."

Jiang Shan nodded, feeling curious, "Who do you think she will marry in the end?"

Yun Xian didn't care much about this matter, and said: "She is the granddaughter of the chief assistant's family anyway, and she is definitely going to marry the prince and grandson, even if her reputation is ruined, she won't just pick someone hastily and marry, she only sees the time Who is more unlucky."

After a pause, Yun Xian looked at Jiang Shan, apologetic, "The news from King Yan said that King Yan wants to see me, so I may not be able to accompany you for a stroll."

"It doesn't matter." Jiang Shan said: "Go and do your work. I'll go for a walk on the street, buy some things and go back home."

Yun Xian took a purse of money to Jiang Shan, and said: "It's going to snow soon, depending on the weather, you can just go back after strolling casually, be careful not to catch cold."

Jiang Shan agreed, took the fox fur and walked out of the teahouse to the street.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and in previous years, Jiang Shan was accompanied by several people from Fukang Futai. Although it was not deserted, his heart was empty.Ever since he got to know Yun Xian, Jiang Shan always felt that his life had some hope.

He bought yellow paper and white candles, three kinds of fruits, went to the old mansion of Nanping County Prince, and set up an altar inside.He wanted to tell his parents about Yun Xian, how good this person was to him, how much he liked him, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After paying homage to his parents, Jiang Shan left the Prince's Mansion of Nanping County, and turned around the corner, there was a shop that bought small wontons.Jiang Shan watched from a distance. When he was very young, his father took him to eat this wonton. Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, this small stall is still there.

Jiang Shan walked over, and the stall owner was a hearty middle-aged man. When he saw people coming, he immediately greeted them with a smile, and said, "It's very cold, the guest officer, let's serve a bowl of wontons."

Jiang Shan didn't say a word. Seeing Jiang Shan's luxurious clothes, the stall owner was afraid that he would think the stall was not clean, so he hurriedly said, "My wontons are old craftsmen. I have been here with my father for more than twenty years. Previously, some princes and nobles came to my place to eat!"

Jiang Shan had a sore nose and almost burst into tears, he hurriedly turned away and said, "Let's have a bowl."

"Come on! Just a moment."

The shopkeeper picked up the wok, grabbed a handful of a dozen small wontons, put them into the wok, and they quickly began to churn.After the wontons are cooked, take them out and put them in a bowl, pour a spoonful of hot chicken soup over them, sprinkle with a handful of shrimp skin seaweed, and serve them piping hot.

"Guest officer, take it easy!"

Jiang Shan picked up a spoon and scooped up a wonton. After the wonton was cooked, the skin was crystal clear. It was a small and exquisite one. It was fresh and hot after one bite. Drinking another soup, it would be warm even in the deep winter up.

"Shopkeeper, here is a bowl of small wontons."

A familiar voice came from over there, and Jiang Shan looked up, only to see Lu Shang in brocade clothes standing in front of the stall, looking in Jiang Shan's direction.

Jiang Shan immediately shivered when he met Shang Lu Shang's deep eyes.He nodded at Lu Shang, and greeted out of politeness, "Lord Lu."

Lu Shang didn't speak, and didn't respond.Jiang Shan still lowered his head to eat wontons. A bowl of small wontons with soup and water was very warm, which could make Jiang Shan forget the fear of being almost frozen to death.

Lu Shang looked at Jiang Shan through the steam from the chicken soup, and after a while, he sat opposite Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan was taken aback, and asked with some doubts in his tone, "Lord Lu?"

Lu Shangdao: "I just came out of the old mansion of Nanping County Prince's Mansion."

Jiang Shan's complexion changed instantly.

"There is no secret that Jin Yiwei can't find out." Lu Shang's voice was very flat, as if he was just telling Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shan didn't quite believe it, "If that's the case, how did I survive, how did Yun Xian survive."

"What Jin Yiwei knows doesn't mean His Majesty will know too."

Jiang Shan was taken aback and stopped talking.

Lu Shang's wontons were ready at this time. He picked up the spoon and ate the wontons. He ate the wontons very elegantly, showing his good upbringing.

"You shouldn't mix with Yun Xian." Lu Shang said suddenly.

Jiang Shan frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lu Shang raised his eyes to look at Jiang Shan, and said: "That person Yun Xian is used to calculating people's hearts. As long as he thinks, most people are willing to die for him. But you are different, you are the last blood of Nanping County King , It's not worth dying for Yun Xian."

Jiang Shan asked back: "How is it worth it? Is it worth it for you to help the current sage to do evil?"

"Doing evil?" Lu Shang was not angry, and his tone was still calm, "Do you know what kind of person His Majesty is? Yun Xian told you what you know about His Majesty. You just believe that everything Yun Xian told you is that true?"

Jiang Shan was speechless for a while.

Lu Shang glanced at him and said, "Did he tell you about the abolition of Prince Duan Lanzhou's plot to rebel?"

Jiang Shan was silent, and said: "The prince was framed."

Lu Shang snorted lightly, "No matter what he told you, I can only tell you that Yun Xian is not an innocent person."

Jiang Shan shook his head, "I don't believe you."

"It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not." Lu Shang lowered his head and ate the wonton.

Jiang Shan frowned, could it be that Lu Shang is still on the opposite side of Yun Xian?Thinking of this, Jiang Shan said: "No matter what kind of person Yun Xian is, he must be an emperor better than His Majesty today."

"I don't think so." Lu Shang said: "Your Majesty is an emperor with strategies and means. He has been in power for more than 30 years and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even if he can't be called a wise king, he won't be called a foolish king after all."

Jiang Shan's eyes were full of disbelief, "He wanted to rape my mother, kill my whole family, and show no mercy to his own children. Can such a person be a good emperor?"

Lu Shang was silent, and said: "Even if your majesty suffers from a loss of personal morality, it will not harm the people after all."

Jiang Shan couldn't understand such a statement. He said bluntly: "I think that no matter what kind of emperor he is, he must first learn to be a person."

Lu Shang raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Shan in surprise.After a long while, he lowered his head and smiled, and he couldn't tell whether it was self-deprecating or something else in his tone, "I think so too, if self-cultivation is not enough, how can you talk about governing the country and the world. It doesn't matter what you say. The common people are just deceiving themselves and others."

He put down the spoon in his hand, took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, and said to Jiang Shan: "Tell Yun Xian, I will obey what he said."

Jiang Shan didn't know what the two said, but based on what Lu Shang said, he probably understood that Lu Shang had decided to side with Yun Xian.

Jiang Shan's face showed some joy unconsciously. Lu Shang saw it and asked, "You like him that much?"

Jiang Shan was stunned for a moment, Lu Shang only felt that he had slipped his words, and he didn't ask any more questions, but said: "When I was in Beizhen Fusi, I tortured you, and now I apologize to you."

After saying that, Lu Shang bowed his hands upright, Jiang Shan quickly stood up and said, "No need."

Lu Shang straightened up, thought for a while, and said, "I can do one thing for you as an apology. Or if you encounter any difficulties in the future, I can help you once." Suddenly, he found an auspicious silver nude and handed it to Jiang Shan.

Before Jiang Shan could react, he took it in a daze.

The author has something to say: Yun Xian: Say bad things about me and seduce my daughter-in-law, I will make another note for you.
