I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Originally looking at the place where the invitation was posted was the lake, Ji Zihe thought they were holding a banquet by the lake or in a boat, but when they got there, they found that was the case at all.The lake is pitch black, and there are no big cruise ships or boats to be seen.

Sitting on the boat, Ji Zihe was a little dazed, didn't everyone sit and eat and drink together at the banquet?Why is the Ding family's banquet different from other people's? Why is it so open in the water that no one can be seen? Maybe it's because they have to feed the fish in the middle of the night.

The small cruise ship sailed to the center of the lake, a little bit away from the hustle and bustle on the shore, and there were no lotus lanterns around. The surroundings were extremely quiet, only the sound of the oars waving the lake water could be heard.

Ji Zihe couldn't help feeling a little flustered. Seeing that the boatman at the stern was far away and probably couldn't hear him, he asked Bones, "Gu Gu, what's going on?"

Bone crossed his arms, looked at the dark lake, and said with a smile, "Interesting, Ding Zaichang is quite good at playing, just wait, there will be something interesting to watch later."

Bones must have seen something, Ji Zihe put his heart in his stomach and waited quietly.

The food on board is also very delicate, probably because the weather is too cold and it will affect the appetite, so the food containers are all made of special copper, and some are empty for charcoal fire.Just knowing that the food container took so much thought, it can be seen that the Ding family is really sincere for this banquet.

The cruise ship finally stopped, and there were little lights all around. There should be many boats, but the boats were all ordinary lanterns, not very bright, and nothing could be seen.

A flash of light flashed in Ji Zihe's mind, no wonder a female family member of Princess Yunluo would come to the banquet. No one can see who is in the dark.I just don't know if those people who spend a lot of money to get an invitation will be disappointed. Let alone the princess when they come here, they may not even know which boat the princess is on.

Of course, no one should ask Ding Zaichang to refund the money just because he couldn't see the princess.After all, when he was selling invitations, he didn't have the courage to use the name of the princess to make money. He only said that many celebrities were invited to the banquet.As for the princess, those are all rumors in the market. If there is a princess coming, it is true, but no one is sure that they will see it.The princess is a man of gold, and she is not the courtesan in the brothel. How can a group of ordinary people pay thousands of gold to meet each other? Don't they have brains?It has to be said that this profiteer is really treacherous, and those who are fooled can only smash their teeth and swallow it in their stomachs.

After a while, a few more boats came beside the cruise ship that Ji Zihe was sitting on, and they were quite close together.Ji Zihe was studying the expensive-looking pot that was burning on the small stove on the table for a long time, when he heard someone calling beside him.

"Respectful brother."

As soon as Ji Zihe looked up, he saw a man standing on the cruise ship next to him, waving to him. Looking carefully, it turned out that it was An Daye.

"You're here too." Ji Zihe said with a smile, it was a blessing to meet someone he knew in this dark place.

An Daye urged the boatman to pull the boat over, and when the two boats were close together, An Daye went to Ji Zihe's boat.The boatman didn't blame him for running around, but just fixed the two boats together with iron locks.

"Brother, do you know what kind of banquet this is? I've never participated in such a banquet." An Daye sat opposite Ji Zihe, wondering.

"I don't know either." Ji Zihe said honestly.Before tonight, the lake and the bazaar by the lake were all locked down, no one was allowed to enter at all, and no one knew what it would be like during the day.

"Even brother Gongjin doesn't know, it seems that brother Zaichang is really strict." An Daye said with some regret, "I heard that the Ding family will hold a lantern banquet in Jingzhou every year during the Lantern Festival, and the location is different every year , Only celebrities and dignitaries in Jingzhou will receive invitations, and others who want to go can only spend money to buy invitations. The price of invitations is very high, and it is hard to get one like that.”

"Oh, is this lantern festival so popular?" Ji Zihe rubbed his chin. He didn't even see any lights at this lantern festival. It was so dark around him. Why did he sit here and blow the cold wind? Thin paper is exchanged for daughters, let those who want to participate come.

After thinking about it, it is of course impossible for Ji Zihe to sell the invitation, it was Ding Zaichang's kindness after all.People gave me such a precious invitation, and I didn't want to lose face. If I really sold it, what would my friends do in the future.Isn't it just that it's a bit cold, so I wear thick clothes.

"I heard that last year's Lantern Festival was held on Luohua Mountain outside the city. The lights at night illuminated the whole mountain like daytime, reflecting the red plums all over the mountain. It was so beautiful. Kongming lanterns flew high , there are immortals singing fairy music in the lights, crimson petals fluttering down from the sky, like a fairyland." An Daye said excitedly.

Ji Zihe calmly pinched the handle of the jug on the stove, picked it up, poured two glasses of wine, then put the jug back on the small stove, took one of the glasses of wine and handed it to An Daye, "Tianhan , have a cup of hot wine to warm up your body."

"Thank you, brother." An Daye took the wine, took a sip, and said in surprise, "This wine is actually the whirling wind of Liuye Mountain Villa wrapping around the fingers!"

Ji Zihe looked confused, what the hell? "Is this the name of the wine?"

An Daye looked at the wine glass in his hand with burning eyes, "Yes, this is the fifth of the top ten famous wines in the Jianghu. The whirling wind winds around your fingers! This wine comes from the famous Liuye Villa in the Jianghu. It is said that it was created by Liuye Sword Immortal. Whirling, the taste is soft, just like the wind wraps around the fingers. After taking a sip, it is like falling into the land of tenderness, and it is difficult to extricate yourself."

Ji Zihe stared at the wine in his hand, took a sip, um, it tastes good, but it's a bit bland, so it shouldn't be too much.

Well, Ji Zihe is not a wine taster at all, nor is he addicted to alcohol.The most expensive wine he drank was probably the Nurhong sold in the restaurant, and he drank it when he was having dinner with others.Although Ji Zihe can drink, he can tell whether the wine is strong or not, and he really can't tell the others.

Asking him to taste wine is probably the same as a cow chewing peonies, which is pure waste.

"I drank this wine once when I was growing up. When I was a child, my father took me to a certain uncle's house as a guest. My father corrupted the good wine from the bottom of the box. I was lucky enough to taste a few sips. I have never forgotten it since then. I can't drop it. I didn't expect Brother Ding to be able to get the whirling wind to wrap his fingers around him. Could it be that his family's business has reached the world?"

"Is this wine very precious?"

"If you want to say it's precious, I guess there's no way to measure it with money, because this wine is not sold on the market at all. After all, Liuye Mountain Villa is a power in the world, and their business does not rely on buying wine. And it is said that the brewing process is entwined with the whirling wind. The materials are very precious, and the process is complicated, so it cannot be mass-produced at all, so it is not seen on the market at all.”

Ji Zihe quickly drank a sip of wine to calm his shock, and refused to think about how much money he had lost with this sip.

"Actually, this wine won the fifth place, not by itself." An Daye said.

"What's that for?"

"It's the late emperor."

"What's the reason for this?" Isn't Liuye Villa a power in the world, why is it related to the late emperor?

An Daye finished drinking the wine in the glass, poured another glass quickly, and his face was full of intoxication, "The court and the rivers and lakes seem to be far away, but they are not. In fact, they are also inextricably linked. When the first emperor did not succeed to the throne , was named the King of Hebei, and Liuye Mountain Villa was within his fiefdom. Before the first emperor raised his troops to quell the rebellion, he drank three altars of fine wine in Liuye Mountain Villa, then rode his horse and returned to Jingzhou. Wait until the end of the rebellion , After ascending the Great Treasure, the first emperor deliberately returned to Liuye Mountain Villa. He was drunk for three days and three nights without taking a sip of wine. Da Noise, the ranking has been rising all the way, from the original obscurity, he climbed to the third position."

"It turns out that there is such a reason." Ji Zihe nodded, it seems that the wine looks soft, but in fact it has a lot of stamina, "Oh, slow down, save me a sip!"

Originally, this wine set was made in a delicate way, it was not big at all, and it disappeared after pouring a few glasses.The hateful thing is that An Daye, a little alcoholic, drank all his wine as if he hadn't seen wine in hundreds of years.This is wine that can't be bought with money, and he only drank that one glass.

"Then there are still some, Xiao Jiu, help me make a pot." An Daye said, pointing to the big wine jar on the boat.

Ji Zihe glared at An Daye, drank his wine, and ordered his book boy, he really didn't regard himself as an outsider at all.

Huang Jiulang heard the words, took the wine jug, and took another jug ​​of wine from the wine jar.

As a result, when the wine was warm enough, An Daye quickly poured a glass, took a sip, and his face collapsed instantly, "It's Huadiao, not the whirling wind that winds around your fingers."

Ji Zihe suddenly realized, he said, such a rare wine cannot be drunk by everyone at the banquet, it turns out that it is just for tasting.

"Brother Ding is really stingy. There is such a small pot of whirling wind on a boat that wraps around his fingers. It is really hateful that he runs out of alcohol just after hooking up his alcohol addiction!" An Daye said angrily.

"Who said there is no more, isn't there still a pot on your boat?" Ji Zihe said quietly.

"That's right, I almost forgot, the wine on my boat hasn't been touched yet. I'll go get it right away and have a drink with my brother." An Daye put down the wine glass, and happily jumped onto his own boat.

An Daye went straight to the low table. As a result, there was no wine on the table, even the jug that contained the wine disappeared. He jumped angrily, "Ah, where is my wine? Which bastard stole my wine!"

The bone floated slowly behind Ji Zihe, looking like I had never done anything and knew nothing, really innocent.

Suddenly, there was a burst of drumming in my ears, sounding distant and mysterious.

A cruise ship sailed in the middle of the lake, and the lights on the boat were brightly lit, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.Standing on the bow of the boat was a handsome young man in fox fur. He saluted the lighted cruise ship in front of him, and said loudly, "I kept everyone waiting for a long time. I am in Xiading Zaichang. Thank you for your busy schedule. I, Ding, would like to express my gratitude to the Lantern Appreciation Banquet held by our Ding family."

"Young master's house, since it's a lantern feast, where is the lantern?"

I don't know who came up with such a sentence.Perhaps because the lights were dim and no one could be found, these reserved guests couldn't help but let go.

"Of course I won't disappoint you all. Please wait a moment, the lights will be ready soon." Ding Zaichang raised his hands and clapped them together, "The feast is on."

As Ding Zaichang's voice fell, the drumbeat suddenly became rapid and high-pitched, and the sound was so loud that even the people on the shore of the lake in the distance could hear it.

Immediately behind him, the flames shot up into the sky, and the lake surface seemed to change from night to day in an instant.All the cruise ships on the lake lifted their veils to reveal their figures, and each boat represented the seats for the banquet, which were arranged regularly.

Ji Zihe sat blankly with his wine glass in his hand, staring at the center of the lake with wide eyes.Such a peculiar way of appearing on the stage really stunned everyone.

Ding Zaichang watched the guests' reactions with satisfaction, the boatman moved the oars, and led the host to exit silently.

After getting used to the initial firelight, Ji Zihe saw that there was a huge river lantern in the middle of the lake.The garden plate built below is probably a lotus leaf, and an open fire is burning beside the leaf.And above the lotus leaf is a huge lotus flower, each petal is made of countless lanterns, and the lotus platform with stars arching the moon is towering and equally bright.

Accompanied by the sound of high-pitched drums, a dancer dances lightly on the lotus platform.The lights are brilliant, like a dream.The dancer is dressed in white, with a fairy air, jumping and spinning with the sound of the drums, and the fluttering skirt is like flying butterfly wings, making her look like a fairy Chang'e in the moon palace, the beauty is thrilling.

Ji Zihe looked a little crazy, although because he was too far away, he couldn't see it very clearly, but it was this kind of hazy beauty that attracted more and more attention.Everyone made up what they thought the fairy looked like in their hearts, and their eyes became even more fanatical.

"Brother Ding didn't really invite Fairy Chang'e to come down to earth!" An Daye stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the dancers who were dancing.

When everyone was indulging in the beautiful scenery, suddenly, the drumming stopped suddenly, and then dazzling fireworks flew around the lotus leaves, exploding beautiful fireworks in the air.

Although the people on the shore couldn't see the dancers on the lotus platform clearly, they could clearly see the huge lotus lantern on the water and the fireworks that soared into the air.I can't help but stop and look, praying for the new year's life.

"Ah, the fairy is gone."

"Fairy Chang'e has flown into the sky!"

……

Many people came out of the boat, looked at the empty lotus platform, and discussed in surprise.This lotus lantern is huge, so big that the surrounding ships look like little ants.The high platform was about ten meters high, and the moment the fireworks flew up, the people who went to the toilet on the lotus platform suddenly disappeared.This lotus leaf is made of solid wood, it's no wonder that it won't die if you jump off it!

Everyone refused to choose the option of falling to death, preferring to believe that the dancer went to the sky with the fireworks. After all, that kind of ending is really happy.

At this time, several huge painting boats came slowly, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras was pleasant to the ear, and there were kabuki on board, decorating the lake.

After watching the dance, watching the lights, and having an artistic conception, after drinking for three rounds, it's time to brag, ah no, it's time to write poetry.After all, with so many famous people invited, it would be impossible not to let them write poems. Ding Zaichang planned to pick out some and sell them in his own bookstore.After all, where the reputation is, there must be no worries about sales.

There is no need to pay the author for the poems written at such banquets.Cough, celebrities, they are all noble people, how can they want this kind of Adu thing, it's shameful to spread it.For celebrities, the most important thing is fame, not money. Of course, will there be less money if you are famous?These poets and the organizers have a mutually beneficial relationship. One side wants fame, the other side wants money, and the cooperation is pleasant.

Poems that are hard to find on weekdays have endless levels in the literary fair, full of flowers and flowers, competing for splendor.No matter what the purpose of the Ding family's literary meeting is, the scale and influence of this literary meeting is real. Who wouldn't want to be famous at such a big literary meeting.

The servants drove the boat, and the poems and essays were carried out one by one, and then sent to several respected celebrities, who decided whose poem was the leader and which poems could be included in the anthology.

The selected poems will be transcribed in a unified way. Besides being included in the anthology, they will also be sent to the painting boat on the spot, and will be sung by famous women on the painting boat for guests to comment and appreciate.

Of course, if you are interested, you can also call the waiters on the small boats on the lake and ask them to invite the kabuki and musicians on the boat to play music and sing their own poems on their own boats.

There are also acquaintances, several cruise ships are connected together, commenting on each other's articles, and judging each other's superiority. On this lake, it is also very interesting.

Today, too many people were stunned by the huge lotus lantern that was ignited at this moment, and the dancers who didn't know where they were going. Almost all the poems did not leave this scene.If you want to stand out among them, this will test the poet's strength even more.

Ji Zihe, An Daye and the others also handed in a poem to the waiter on the boat to take away, and in the end they were selected. Although they didn't make the top three, they were also composed and sung by the kabuki.Ji Zihe listened to it for a while, and thought it sounded good. He thought it was a professional invited by Ding Zaichang, but it was different.

The only quiet place on the lake is probably the luxurious cruise ship with colorful paintings.Other cruise ships are of average size, but this one is different. Think about it, is there any doubt about whose ship it is?Among the guests at this banquet, Princess Yunluo was the only one with the highest status. Apart from her, how could there be another candidate.

Don't look at a large number of people who came for the princess, all dressed up like peacocks with their tails open, but if they were really asked to come up to the princess to start a conversation, they would really dare not.What's the difference between going over like that and being a disciple, who would dare to go over under the watchful eyes of everyone.Moreover, the guards on the princess's boat were not vegetarians, what if they were thrown out, they still wanted to show some face.

I can't get to the past, I can only try my best to show my talents, and I hope that the princess will appreciate them after hearing their poems and look at them differently.However, it was disappointing that Her Royal Highness did not show interest in any of the poems.

There are also boats beside the princess' cruise ship.At the beginning of the banquet, in order to shock the guests the most, the viewing position is particularly important.However, this optimal location must not be too large, so at the beginning, the arrangement of boats on the lake was relatively tight.

Of course, if the location of the boat is close to the princess, the status of the owner of the boat must not be too low, such as Cao Guogong's son, Wei Zhang.

Although Princess Yunluo's name is similar to his lover, Wei Zhang is not very interested in this Princess Yunluo. After all, marrying a princess has nothing to do with him.Not only is it impossible for his family to agree to this matter, but he himself doesn't have that idea, who made him feel like he already belongs to him.

To be honest, Wei Zhang really sympathized with Princess Yunluo's future son-in-law.Although the status of the princess is noble, it does not mean that the status of the princess' husband can also be noble.In front of the royal family, the so-called son-in-law is nothing more than a servant of the princess.

The man who can betrothed to the princess will definitely not be an idiot who is incapable of writing and martial arts. What is the status of the princess, if he wants to be her husband, he must be the proud son of heaven.However, the pinnacle of this proud son of heaven can only stop at marrying a princess. Since then, he has no relationship with politics and lives a life of eating and dying.The princess can be fiddly, but the son-in-law can't. Whether he likes the princess or not, he can only treat this woman wholeheartedly. Otherwise, not only will he be unlucky, but the whole family will also be affected. It's really not ordinary misery.

Wei Zhang looked at this matter with a mentality of watching the excitement, until the banquet started, the lotus lantern suddenly appeared, and the immortals performed dances.At that time, everyone was attracted by the lotus lantern, even the princess in the cruise ship couldn't help but walked out of the cabin and stood outside for a while.

Wei Zhang was drinking a little wine, looked at the princess inadvertently, and then petrified.The face of the princess is not easy for people to see.She wore a veil on her face, so she couldn't see her face clearly, but this figure was very familiar to Wei Zhang, the kind that even turned into ashes.

Wei Zhang originally comforted himself that there would be no one with a similar stature in the world, and it would certainly not be her.But look again, the princess raised her hand and brushed the hair on her head, revealing the warm jade wrapped around her wrist, and Wei Zhang, who was looking at her, looked straight at her.

Wei Zhang couldn't lie to himself anymore, he had brought the warm jade with him for more than ten years, and it was consecrated by his mother from the Ganye Temple when he was a child, so how could he not recognize it.

Wei Zhang didn't know what was going on in his heart anymore. He didn't even bother to look at the beautiful lanterns. He wanted to take this opportunity to meet some famous people, but he didn't bother to move, and kept his head buried in the wine.

Since it is a Lantern Festival Lantern Appreciation Banquet, it is naturally impossible to be a pure poetry party. Naturally, there is no lantern riddle without lanterns.Ding Zaichang's calculations are quite good, a collection of poems, a book of lantern riddles, cough, small profit, small profit.

After fighting the poems, let’s fight lantern riddles again. The guests also hand over the riddles and answers they came up with to the waiters, and the waiters send them to one place for unified summary.Lantern riddles are not as rigorously reviewed as poetry, and they can be copied if they make sense.

The waiter hung many lanterns of different shapes on the boat, and there was a riddle under each lantern.The waiters shuttled in the cruise ship in a small boat, and whoever solved a lantern riddle would own the lantern on the lantern riddle.This is also an opportunity to show yourself, the more lantern riddles you guess correctly, the more lanterns on your boat, and the brighter it looks, it's hard to miss it.

When the banquet was over, Ji Zihe also got a lot of lanterns.When some people left, they didn't bring any lights with them at all, or they only took one or two lamps. Few people took them all at once like Ji Zihe.

Because of the cold weather, the banquet ended relatively early.Ji Zihe and Huang Jiulang were together, holding three or four lamps in each hand, walking on the road with a high rate of turning their heads. When the children on the road saw it, they couldn't bear to look away, and they almost cried.

"Are you naive or not?" Gu Gu couldn't help but said when he saw Ji Zihe's embarrassed expression.

"Not childish, these are all my spoils of war." Ji Zihe said in a taunt.

"Tsk."

Ji Zihe walked all the way to Ning Caichen's house, holding the lamp and following the envious eyes of the children.Ning Caichen took Meng'er outside to watch the lanterns, and his sister-in-law was the only one at home.Because her belly is already big, there are too many people outside tonight, it is very unsafe, so she didn't go out.

Ji Zihe gave most of the lanterns he carried to his sister-in-law, and ate a bowl of glutinous rice balls there, before walking home with two lanterns.

"Xiaohezi, why did you take an extra lamp?" Bone asked.

"I didn't take too much, one for each person, this one is for you." Ji Zihe raised the lantern in his hand that looked like a little fat pig and said with a smile.

"This is for me?"

"Yes, Xiaozhu's is yours, Xiaolong's is mine, and Xiaojiu's is a fox lamp. He can carry it by himself, but you have to let me carry it for you."

Bones felt warm in his heart, Xiaohezi did not forget himself, happy.

"But why mine is such a fat pig, obviously the little dragon looks better." The gift belongs to the gift, and Gu Gu's mind is still clear.

"Because it looks a lot like you!" Ji Zihe said intentionally.

"I'm not so fat." With a stinky face, Bones suddenly turned into a real body and snatched the little pig lamp from Ji Zihe's hand.

"Wait, how did you grab it!" Ji Zihe stretched out his hand to snatch it back.

Bones quickly put away the lamp, turned into a ghost body again, and said fiercely, "The one who gave me is mine, what's the matter, do you want to regret it, there is no way!"

"No, I am teasing you, this little dragon lantern is for you, and that little fat pig is mine."

Bone's complexion improved a bit, looking at the little dragon lantern in Ji Zihe's hand, he didn't know what he thought of, and said awkwardly, "That fat pig is so ugly, forget it, I will accept it reluctantly, this beautiful little dragon lantern will let you I gave it to you, you should cherish it!"

"But I like piggy better, fat and cute."

The bones were fried again, "What's wrong with Xiaolong, what's your opinion, don't change it, that pig is mine, and Xiaolong is yours."

Ji Zihe: "..."

All right, don't change if you don't want to change, as long as you are happy.

The incense chariot of four horses drove towards the palace, and as they walked, a carriage in front of them crossed the middle of the road and stopped them.

"Who dares to stop the princess's carriage!" Princess Yunluo's bodyguard shouted loudly.

A man stepped out of the carriage and bowed to the carriage, "Duke Cao's son, Wei Zhang, please see Your Highness the Princess."

The woman in the carriage played with a piece of warm jade in her hand, and sighed, what should come will always come.

"Changing the road, please pass the Jinjiang Tower for the son of Cao Guogong."

Jinjiang Tower is in Jingzhou, and it is one of the best restaurants.Of course, although it's called a restaurant, it's not just a building. There are many small yards under its jurisdiction, which were provided by a senior customer.These small yards are independent of each other and have strong security measures, which are very suitable for doing some secret things.

It's not fair for the princess to contact the prince in private. After all, a man and woman are unmarried, and if it spreads out, people will gossip.

The guards and servants were all waiting in the yard. Princess Yunluo walked into the room with Wei Zhang who had been silent all the way. As soon as the door was closed, Wei Zhang took Yunluo's arm and pushed her against the wall. Beside her, came a standard one-handed wall dong.

"Why don't you tell me, is it fun to play me?" Wei Zhang's eyes were filled with red blood, looking at his lover, he gritted his teeth and said, "You liar!"

Smelling the smell of alcohol on Wei Zhang's robe, Yun Luo frowned, "You're drunk."

"So what, if I wasn't drunk, I wouldn't appear here to ask you these questions at all. Instead, I should cut off the relationship with you directly, and treat them as strangers when we meet in the future, are you right?"

"That's fine too."

"what?"

"You blame me for not telling you my identity, but what can I do if I tell you, you will only keep me at a respectful distance. Identity is not what I want to choose, I was born as a princess, no one has asked my opinion , What can I do, tell me what I can do." Tears welled up in Yunluo's eyes, Wei Zhang seemed to be stung in the eyes all of a sudden, and couldn't help but take a step back.

"Then you shouldn't hide it from me."

"Do you think I want to hide it from you? If I tell you my identity, as you said, you will only treat me as a stranger forever. I admit my selfishness, but aren't you, Wei Ruogu, selfish? Well, for your family, for your career, you don't even dare to marry the woman you love, so what's the difference between you and me!"

"I..." Under the influence of alcohol, Wei Zhang's head became dull, and it was suddenly difficult for him to understand what Yunluo said.The mouth that used to be eloquent on weekdays is now so stunned that he can't speak for a long time, it's really miserable.

It was as if their identities were suddenly reversed. The previously strong side was forced to retreat continuously, while the previously weak side seized the opportunity and continued to attack, forcing the opponent to retreat steadily.

"You and I are the same person, we know each other best, can't we be together?"

"Not good, not good, you shouldn't hide it from me." Wei Zhang's drink picked up strength, and his face turned red. A flower of high mountains that is usually serious, but now it's cute cute.

"What's wrong, I'll let you be the champion, okay, then you will be my son-in-law, and we can be together forever."

Wei Zhang shook his head, "No, I don't want to be a son-in-law."

Suddenly, his back leg bumped into something, causing him to accidentally sit back down.Dazed, he touched the soft bed under his hand, wondering why there is still a bed here.

"Why don't you be a son-in-law, don't you like me?" Yunluo leaned down, looked at him and asked.

"like."

Yunluo laughed, pushed him onto the bed at once, and bullied her, "Then, if you don't wake up, I'll make raw rice and cook it. When you become my man, even if you don't want to be a son-in-law You have to do it, don't blame me for not giving you a chance."

What, raw rice cooked cooked rice!Wei Zhang was so frightened that he woke up suddenly. Looking at the posture of the two, his face changed instantly. He pushed Yunluo away and ran out in a panic.

The son was so flustered that he startled the palace guards, fearing that something might happen to the princess, they hurried into the room, and they were relieved when they saw that the princess was fine.

"Your Highness." The eunuch called softly, but Princess Yunluo turned a deaf ear.

She lay on her back on the bed, raised her arms to cover her eyes, and laughed loudly, "Haha, idiot, I lied to you, how could I force you to do something you don't want to do."

He was obviously laughing, but the tears couldn't be stopped no matter what.It turned into thin streams, continuously flowing out from the place covered by the arms, and sinking into the bed under the body.

Several days have passed since the Lantern Festival, and the lighting at Ding's house is still the hottest topic in Jingzhou.The common people in the streets and alleys are not interested in any poems. What they are discussing is the princess, the famous people who came, who got the first prize when someone got drunk and fell into the lake and was fished out in embarrassment.Of course, there are gorgeous fireworks and lights.No one knew how the lamp suddenly appeared, and whether the fairy really flew into the sky.These questions also left some mystery to the Lantern Festival.

In the teahouse, Ji Zihe, Ding Zaichang and An Daye got together again to talk about the mountains.

"I heard that the rumors are so magical. I also want to know, Brother Ding, how did the lotus lantern made up of tens of thousands of lanterns at your lantern banquet suddenly light up?" An Daye was very excited when they met. asked.

"Well, it's okay to tell you. Anyway, the lantern feast is over. Actually, it's not a particularly difficult thing. There is a specialization in art, and I invited professionals to light the lanterns."

"What professional?"

"For this lantern banquet, my father went to Mount Shu specially, and invited a Taoist priest from the mountain to come down to light the lanterns. It is said that there are gods on Mount Shu, but no one has ever seen the gods. No one knows whether it is true or not, but the Taoist priest Indeed, he has some skills. As soon as he waved his hand, tens of thousands of butterflies flew out of his sleeves, lying on the wick. When I gave the signal, the Taoist controlled the butterflies to turn into small flames, and lit the lamp at the same time. It's gone." Speaking of this, Ding Zaichang's face was full of pain.This is probably the most expensive lamp he has ever hired someone to light in his life. He hired a Taoist priest just for such a moment of effort, and he spent several thousand gold.But the money was really worth it, and the effect on the spot was beyond his expectation.

"That Taoist priest is also really powerful." Ji Zihe couldn't help saying.

Bone snorted, "What's so powerful, it's just a small spell, not a real skill. People with real skills can't be seen by mortals at all. For monks, gold and silver in the mortal world are simply seen. It doesn't matter, only those monks who have no hope of cultivation and plan to give up cultivating immortality and returning to the mortal world to wait for death will be moved by mortals to light these lamps because of money."

It turned out that this was the case, Ji Zihe suddenly realized.He thought that immortals would not eat the fireworks of the world, but who would have thought that they could be invited by businessmen to light lanterns, so there was such a reason.

"Ah, that fairy is also fake?" An Daye asked.

"Sure, how could I have such a big face, and even invited the fairies, even Her Royal Highness Princess Yunluo, is beyond my expectation. The dancer is a martial arts master I invited, and the lightness kung fu is very special .Swipe it to go to the sky, and swipe it to land. As soon as the fireworks exploded, he flew off the stage. It was planned to fall on the boat, but who knows that someone who didn't pay attention fell into the water I went, fortunately you were all attracted by the fireworks at the time, and no one heard the sound. Because of this mistake, I paid an extra sum of money to scare people."

"The girl must be very tired after dancing for so long, and some mistakes are inevitable. You should pay her more." An Daye said rather compassionately.

"Woman?" Ding Zaichang laughed loudly, "Where did she come from? That's a man."

"Impossible, how can a man be so good-looking."

"But he is indeed a man. If I invite you personally, I wouldn't know it. It's normal for you to have that illusion, because you are too far away, and the light looks thin and good-looking. It is said that beauties are seen under the lights, the ancients I won't bully you." Ding Zaichang patted An Daye on the shoulder.

An Daye had a crying face, and his bones shook his head, "Youth's feelings are always spring, look, another fragile boy's heart is broken."

"Brother Ding, you really broke my heart. My heart hurts so much. I can't get better without two whirling winds wrapping around my fingers. You can figure it out!" An Daye covered his chest and fell down very dramatically on the table.

"You kid, you really have a big appetite. It's a pity that I don't have one." Ding Zaichang was not afraid of boiling water, and drank tea calmly.

"Don't lie, how could you not have one. Brother Ding, you are really stingy. There is only one pot for each boat at the lantern banquet, and it disappears after pouring a few cups. It really tastes like nothing at all. Not fun."

"I'm really gone. Our family only built a few jars from Liuye Mountain Villa, and they used it to save face on the day of the Lantern Festival."

An Daye sat up suddenly, "I don't believe it, how could you not keep such a good thing.
