Chapter 31: Shangyuan Lantern Festival (Part 1)

In order to get rid of the prince who had an idea for his daughter, Situ Kongkong took great pains, and his disciples went around to check the fate he wanted. He also reorganized the sect that had lost its Taoist heart, and determined to eradicate this cancer with his own hands.

.

Although he has not been in the Yin and Yang Sect these years, the big and small things in the sect have never been hidden from his eyes. He knows exactly who did what, who encountered what, but he watched with cold eyes to see how far they would go to play, and whether

Will wake up in time.

It's a pity that he was disappointed.

The junior brother who once had high hopes fell deeper and deeper, and his path became more and more derailed. Originally, he wanted to take away the code and let the junior brother officially take over the Yin and Yang Sect, but what the junior brother wanted was power and Conglong's wealth.

The Taoist arts of the Yin-Yang Clan were used as a springboard. He used the techniques he learned to harm people, steal people's property, seek lives, manipulate others to do things for him, and also used the banner of the Yin-Yang Clan to intervene in the party struggle between the DPRK and China.

Although he had long thought that the Yin Yang Sect was exhausted, he still felt a little reluctant to give up. However, if he allowed his junior brother to go on his own way, thousands of disciples in the sect would become dead souls under the sword and end up being beheaded, and their blood would still flow for three days.

If they are still dead and their bodies are missing, their relatives and friends will also be affected, and their bodies will be found hundreds of miles away.

"Taoist Priest, can you explain it more clearly?" Ouyang Sufeng heard half-informed and confused.

"I……"

Situ Kongkong had just said a word before he was interrupted by a strong, loud but angry voice——

"You two come down here, do you think you are seven-year-old children? You went to the roof to step on the tiles in the middle of the night. Don't you think so little of me?"

"Prime Minister Yan?" Ouyang Sufeng's heart tightened, and his face looked a little guilty.

"Father-in-law." The thick-skinned Situ Kongkong waved to the person below.

"If you don't come down yet, do you want me to ask someone to shoot you down?" Prime Minister Yan was happy to hunt birds at night and catch thieves. The roof of the Prime Minister's Mansion was not a restaurant.

An unattractive son-in-law was already giving people a lot of headaches, and then there was the domineering Prince Jingping. He thought he should resign and return to his hometown to avoid being pissed to death by them one day.

"Father-in-law, please look carefully. We are humans, not birds, so how can we shoot? You always need to treat your eyes. My Qingqing is good at medicine. Ask her to diagnose your pulse and prescribe two pills to improve your eyesight and clear your mind...

"

Elderly people with excessive anger can easily harm their bodies.

"As long as you don't make me angry all the time, I can live for another hundred years." Prime Minister Yan scolded back angrily.

I really don’t know what my daughter’s vision is, and she actually looks at this frivolous guy. Fortunately, he is still a national teacher respected by all people.

"Oh! If I live another hundred years, won't I become a monster? My father-in-law is not embarrassing me. He knows that I have changed my career to become a Taoist priest. Do you want me to accept you? Why don't you come up and have a chat, and let me serve you a pot of wine?"

A dish of side dishes, howling at the moonlit sky...ah! It's just a small talk, a slip of the tongue, we are not wolves and beasts lying on the ground."

Situ Kongkong was standing high down, his clothes fluttering in the wind, like Li Taibai flying away in the sky.

Looking at the irritating figure on the roof, Prime Minister Yan was a little envious. What a free and easy mind he had to lead such a happy life.

"I don't want to say this a third time."

He asked someone to fetch a bow and arrow, and then he drew the bow and shot it himself.

Although he was old and frail, he was an out-and-out civil servant, but the arrow was shot very accurately, heading straight towards Situ Kongkong. Ouyang Sufeng was frightened when he saw it, and wanted to block it for him, but he didn't know that Situ Kongkong was too big.

He raised his feet, turned around and stepped on the arrow under his feet.

"It's not like I have any deep hatred. My father-in-law really wants my life! I just married your daughter." When he turned around and saw the strong man beside him, Situ Kongkong felt a fire of ignorance in his heart and grabbed his clothes.

Once you get it, throw it down.

"Can you stand taller than me? If you don't want to get down yet, I want to wait for the sedan to carry you, big girl."

"Auntie, I'll leave the sedan chair to you." Before anyone could throw it away, Ouyang Sufeng jumped down.

Auntie? Situ Kongkong was startled for a moment, then laughed and jumped down.

This guy's qualifications are not bad, and he can still achieve a lot with a little training. If he is too boring, he will have a hard time.

That night, three generations, old, middle and young, drank in the Huzhong Pavilion until midnight. Occasionally, two wolf howls were heard, or a figure dancing in the wind and snow danced a sword under the moonlight.

Enjoyable.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, all local officials do not go to the office and take annual leave. As the New Year approaches, every household becomes busy, cutting new clothes, making New Year's goods, worshiping ancestors, and opening doors every new year to pay New Year's greetings.

Friends and family gather together.

I returned to my parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and started visiting relatives on the third day of the Lunar New Year. After seven or eight days of busy work, the bustle in the prime minister's house gradually calmed down, and fewer officials and officials came to visit.

In this bustling new year, Situ Qingqing was bored to death. Most of her relatives were in the Prime Minister's Mansion and could be seen every day. There was no need to go to various houses and courtyards to pay New Year greetings. As for half of her relatives on her father's side, she

She doesn't know anyone, and her father is often invisible, so there's no need to take her to visit anyone.

The New Year atmosphere outside the house is very strong, people are setting off firecrackers everywhere, and the unstoppable smell of smoke drifts into the house. Situ Qingqing, who is active by nature, can no longer sit still. She also wants to set off firecrackers, wearing beautiful clothes.

I walked around in my new clothes, went to teahouses with my cousins ​​to listen to books, and spent the money I earned.

However, from the twelfth lunar month to the Chinese New Year, she did not step out of the Prime Minister's Palace. It was a bit like being grounded because the prince intentionally or unintentionally revealed the news that he wanted to accept her as Liang Yuan. Her rank was only lower than the prince's concubine and Liang Di.

In this year, the East Palace will welcome new people, adding joy to the royal family.

Newcomer? Bah! Let’s have his big spring and autumn dream.

Prime Minister Yan and Situ Kongkong were the first to disagree.

Don't take these hearsay "jokes" to heart. As long as Situ Qingqing is not allowed to go out, she will not have a "chance encounter" with the prince, and then there will be no gossip about a match made in heaven.

There are too many women in the East Palace. From the crown prince's main concubine, Liangdi, Liangyuan, Chenghui, and the lowest-ranking minister, the prince already has seventeen wives and concubines, plus the concubines and concubines who have no status.

Maid in bed, there is almost no room for living in the East Palace.

With his shabby body, he still wants to enjoy the grace of beauty?

The husband-in-law, who was not very good-tempered, wanted to give him a good kick to stop his wishful thinking and ruin their daughter. Even if he sent her to a temple to become a nun, she would not give him a wife to a short-lived ghost.

But I don't know if Prime Minister Yan and Situ Kongkong realized it because of their conscience or what, today they actually agreed to let Situ Qingqing go out with the cousins ​​to experience the excitement of the Lantern Festival.

"Ah! The air outside is so nice!" Situ Qingqing took a deep breath and smiled so satisfied.

As soon as these words came out, several beautiful little girls all covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Look at how useless you are. You've only been out for a few days, and you're still in jail!" Yan Zhifei, who had just arranged to get married, smiled at his cousin, teasing her about her wild horse-like temperament. She couldn't sit still and always wanted to go.

Running in the vast grassland.

"How many days? It's a full month and nine days. I haven't been locked up for so long since I was born. I'm so bored that grass is growing on my head. Look, flowers are blooming." Situ

Qingqing pointed to the simulated beaded flowers on her head, indicating that she was so bored that she was about to grow into a tree.

If the tree does not move out of position, it will die from old age.

"That's because you are used to being wild. It would be nice if we could go out a few times a year. You are the only one who is so dissatisfied." How can a daughter-in-law run away from home all the time? If this matter spreads out, she will not get a good reputation.

, I couldn’t even find my husband’s house.

"Good cousin, I've convinced you. Just stop chanting curses. Even if you leave the government, you'll talk a lot. One day you leave the government, I'll see if you still think about it." Situ Qingqing made fun of her cousin's marriage.

Yan Zhifei and the eldest son of Shangqing's family have already passed the marriage ceremony and asked for their names. In other words, they have exchanged Geng Tie. She is definitely his daughter-in-law. Unless something unexpected happens, she is destined to be married.

However, the rules of the Prime Minister's Mansion have always been to get engaged first, and not marry until they turn eighteen in two years. Therefore, this year Yan Zhifei can still go out with her sisters to go to the lantern festival, but next year at this time she will have to stay in her own room.

Concentrate on embroidering the wedding dress until you get married.

"Okay! You still dare to laugh at me. You don't want to go out today, right? I can't talk to my grandfather anymore. You can continue to raise grass! When the grass grows long, you can cut it and make a chicken coop, pick up a few

I'll hatch it for you." Yan Zhifei really doesn't want to go out. What's so good about being crowded with people? The lantern festival is the same every year.

When the Lantern Festival comes, the Prime Minister's Mansion will also hang up lanterns from the same mansion to celebrate the occasion. Many officials and merchants will send various lanterns with unique shapes to the Prime Minister's palace. Therefore, the lanterns inside the mansion are no worse than those outside. The difference is that

During the lantern festival, there will be lantern riddles to guess, and several wealthy families will set up stages for people to win prizes, just to add some joy.
