Chapter 158 Peach Blossoms, Matching with Miss Xie
It was already dark when the two went out. By the time the carriage reached the busy street, it was already completely dark. The group got off the carriage at the edge of the street. Xie Yu said hello and hurried away.
Xie Yixiao was stunned for a moment: "When did he get on the carriage?"
Ming Xin said: "The slaves saw the Third Young Master when they got on the carriage, and he sneaked out."
"Oh? Sneaked out?" Xie Yixiao laughed, "He's not afraid of being beaten to death when he goes back?"
Madam Xie doesn't care how noisy Xie Yu is on weekdays, but tonight there are many people on the street, and some noble girls may be out. Madam Xie is afraid that he will bump into other girls and cause trouble.
Ming Xin said: "The Third Young Master is not afraid. He even said that if he is beaten to death, he will be a good man again after eighteen years."
Ming Jing coughed and told her to stop talking, as the Ninth Young Master was still there.
Xie Yixiao couldn't help it anymore: "I'll ask him to be a good man later and see if he can still be so brave."
Rong Ci didn't care. He had already seen Xie Yu's temperament. After all, there were tens of millions of people in the world with millions of temperaments. As long as people were not bad and did not do evil, it would be fine.
And although Xie Yu was a bit noisy, he still had a bottom line. Even though he was having fun, he definitely didn't touch things he shouldn't touch.
"Let's go this way. There are few people around now. Let's take a look first. When there are more people later, let's go to Chang'an Building and Fan Yue Building and just watch the excitement upstairs."
Xie Yixiao nodded and followed him towards the street, followed by Ming Xin Mingjing and Lu, followed by several guards.
The two of them put on their curtain hats as soon as they got off the carriage. Passers-by would occasionally glance at them, but it was just a quick glance and then they moved away.
Today, Chinese Valentine's Day, there are many women wearing curtain hats when going out. Although there are not many men wearing curtain hats, it is not impossible.
The group of people walked all the way across the street. It was just getting dark now and there were not many people on the street, but people came here from time to time.
The stalls on both sides of the street have been set up early. Some sell food, some sell jewelry, some sell lanterns, and some embroidery, purses, handkerchiefs, folding fans, and oil-paper umbrellas. Looking up, all along the street, there are always people.
Everything you can think of and need is there.
"I want two lanterns." At this time, a group of people walked to a small stall. The stall was very small, with just a table and several lanterns hanging behind it.
Those lanterns include round lanterns, four-cornered palace lanterns and six-cornered palace lanterns. They are similar to the stalls next to them, but the paintings on them are lifelike and very delicate.
Rong Ci saw that many of the men and women coming and going were holding lanterns in their hands, but their hands were empty. After looking at them carefully, he felt that this house's lanterns were the best painted, so he planned to buy two.
Others have it, but Miss Xie can't live without it.
He turned back and asked her: "Which one do you want?"
Xie Yi smiled and stepped forward, took a closer look, and then pointed at the two of them: "Give me the peach blossom one, which one does Ninth Young Master want?"
Rong Ci was about to say that he could do whatever he wanted, then he heard her say: "Forget it, you can do either one, just the one with the laurel tree. The bright moon is bright and clear, and the orchid and jade tree look like they match you."
He couldn't help but said: "The spring breeze is bright and the peach blossoms are in clusters, which matches Miss Xie."
Xie Yi smiled and raised his eyebrows, and then couldn't help but laugh: "Yes, yes, yes, if they match me, we will take these two."
It's really rare for someone to say something like this.
Rong Ci asked the store owner to bring the lanterns and lit the candles inside. Lu Zhui followed and paid.
He clasped the rope and gave him copper coins, and he counted them one by one. When the master in front of him was about to leave, he quickly stopped counting, grabbed a handful and gave them to him, and hurried to follow.
I walked through the street and bought a lot of food. Ming Jing had the foresight to bring out a suitcase, which was just enough to hold the food. Xie Yixiao also bought a round fan embroidered with green bamboo, and asked Ming Xin and Ming Jing to pick their own.
Got a handful.
The half moon was in the sky, and lanterns were hung everywhere in the street, making the streets look like daylight. When the wind blew, they swayed slightly and the light swayed.
"The east wind blows thousands of trees and flowers at night. It blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMWs and carved cars fill the road with fragrance. The phoenix flutes sound, the jade pots turn with light, and fish and dragons dance all night."
Moths are like golden threads in the snow and willows. Smiling words are filled with dark fragrance. People are looking for him thousands of times. Suddenly looking back, that person is there, in the dimly lit place."
"well!"
There were endless cheers from upstairs.
"Good words, such a line as 'Thousands of trees bloom with flowers on an east wind night', and a line like 'Looking back suddenly, that person is there in the dim light'. Miss Gu is such a talented person, I feel inferior to her."
"It's easy to talk about, and your song is not bad either."
Xie Yixiao looked up after hearing the sound, only to see that she and others had already reached the downstairs of Chang'an Tower. The person standing upstairs chanting poems by the window was Gu You. She was wearing a red dress and holding a hand.
A pot of wine and a conversation.
"Why did she come out?"
Ming Jing also saw it and could only say: "Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. The eldest lady should have come out with Mr. Nian, right?"
Xie Yixiao saw that there was a young man in blue next to Gu You. He was too far away and couldn't see his face clearly. He thought it might be the young man.
She turned to look at Rong Ci, who nodded: "He's still here."
So Xie Yixiao was relieved and didn't care. But when she saw Gu You upstairs, she stopped thinking about going up. The group continued to walk forward and went to Fan Yue Tower. There were already a lot of people on the street.
There are so many people there that you almost have to squeeze your way through.
After entering Fan Yue Tower, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Not everyone dares to enter this world-leading restaurant. Xie Yixiao raised his eyes and saw that everyone in the building was dressed in fine clothes. It seemed like everyone was either rich or noble.
There are five restaurants in Fanyue Tower, each of which is three stories high. There are covered bridges connecting each building, which the world calls flying bridges. Guests can have a panoramic view of the city scenery by standing on the flying bridge on the third floor.
There is a stage in the open space between the five buildings. There are also seats in the front for listening to operas and music. There are lakes, ponds, rockeries and flowing water on the side.
The five tall buildings are named after the five elements respectively, becoming Jinguang Tower, Muhua Tower, Shuiyue Tower, Huoyan Tower and Tudi Tower. At this time, the lights are brightly lit everywhere, and there are literati and elegant guests on the flying bridge enjoying the scenery and talking about Taoism.
.
Rong Cidian's location was on the third floor of the Jinguang Building. The group went upstairs and heard someone talking quietly when they walked across the flying bridge.
"Have you heard that the beautiful girl in Chunfeng Tower is going to be auctioned today? I don't know which young man is so lucky as to be able to have a beautiful woman alone for the first night."
"I heard that King Huainan fell in love with her."
"King Huainan? Real or fake?"
"Perhaps, King Huainan does not love power but loves beauty. Everyone in Mandi City knows that, how can one miss a beauty like Miss Nishang? Maybe he will enter the palace tomorrow and become one of the many beauties in the palace.
