It was the Lantern Festival again. The street lantern sheds at the entrance of the Dengshi and Qianmen Street were connected by one. The merchants were working hard to win a Holi market in the New Year's lantern market.

The new opera troupe called "Hehuanzi" is the most different. Not to mention the script that specializes in singing jokes. At the beginning of the Lantern Festival on the 13th day of the first lunar month, I was dressed in full costumes and so on. The entire team was in charge. Some were holding water and fire sticks for singing operas, while others were holding bamboo tubes.

Holding four "entangled", "pressed", "avoided" and "silent" light signs, he walked around the streets with a funny face. Sometimes he said that the lights of this business were not on, and sometimes he said that the shop had no lights cut, and he was full of miseries and pointed at him.

At the door of Yuewen’s study, the carefully arranged colorful lanterns are also very bright. It is an exquisite doll lamp with a sign "Lan Zhengsi" hanging on it. There is a light box inside the doll, and there is a lotus seat under the doll, which is very realistic.

When the "Hehuanzi" opera troupe passed by the door of Yuewen's study, when he saw the colorful lanterns of the "Lan Zhengsi", he immediately knocked and bowed, and was very cute. Chai Lin and Ma Erya looked at the door and laughed loudly, and they were very happy. They grabbed a large handful of copper plates for each person.

This is why in the Song Dynasty, we could play so freely and play as an official and play comedy dramas. In the later generations, there was no longer such a free and top-notch social atmosphere in the future.

Fang Zhongyong was on duty and was now with Zhao Zhen. Starting before the year, artists from both corridors of Bianjing Imperial Street performed various entertainment programs every day: magic, acrobatics, rap, singing and dancing, zaju, cuju, monkey play, riddle guessing, and a variety of clevernesses, and the eyes and ears of the day.

In comparison, the imperial city where singing and dancing are as peaceful as the people are far less lively than the people.

Zhao Zhen sat lazily in Chongzheng Hall, flipping through the secret song that he had just handed in today, and kept pinching his eyebrows between his two eyebrows, looking helpless.

After a long time, he suddenly turned to Fang Zhongyong, handed over the two secret memos, and sighed and said, "Aiqing Fang, please take a look."

When Fang Zhongyong looked hesitant or not, he saw Zhao Zhen shaking the secret song in his hand slightly, shook his head and said to him: "It's okay, let's see."

Fang Zhongyong took the two secret memorials and saw the military seal on it, and he had already guessed three points.

When I opened it, I found that it was a summary of the enemy situation in the Western Xia that Xia Shu and Han Qi presented each.

"The two adults are also very efficient and capable ministers." Fang Zhongyong opened the memorial and said something about Zhao Zhenxin first.

Next, Fang Zhongyong calmly opened the two memorials.

Overall, in Xia Shu's memorial, Xixia is a lamb, and in Han Qi's memorial, Xixia is a tiger, wolf, leopard, and lion; in Xia Shu's memorial, Xixia is just a small country, and in Han Qi's memorial, Xixia is a villain as fierce as the Liao Kingdom.

According to the historical knowledge of later generations, Fang Zhongyong could have expected Han Qi. But the comments from Xia Shu didn't seem to be very consistent with Xia Shu's personal character and his current identity as the governor of Yanzhou.

After all, if the friendship of Xixia is advocated in this way, it will definitely have a great impact on Yanzhou's defense. The simple truth is that Xia Shu himself is prone to falling into danger of personal safety. Now, what is the situation when he suddenly wrote such a memorial?

Fang Zhongyong was thinking, and Zhao Zhen's voice was already ringing in his ears: "Fang Aiqing, according to your opinion, which of these two memorandums is more accurate?"

Although Zhao Zhen asked this, he had a thousand and ten thousand hopes in his heart. Fang Zhongyong said that Xia Shun's comment was true. He was a good man who avoided contradictions and was unwilling to face. Now Xixia is really getting bigger, after all, it's troublesome.

Unfortunately, Fang Zhongyong is destined to be unable to make Zhao Zhen an ostrich.

Fang Zhongyong put down Han Qi's memorial, read Xia Shu's memorial carefully and then said to Zhao Zhen with confidence: "Mr. Xia's secret memorial is probably a problem. Your Majesty, please read it--"

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen hurriedly put his head on the memorial when he heard this.

Fang Zhongyong folded the memorial diagonally, and then read out the words one by one according to the diagonal: "The secret - memorial - the words - not the real - the emotions - the West - Xia - there are different -"

Zhao Zhen touched the memorial and confirmed it half-believingly. This method of hiding the memorial was a kind of elegant thing that the scholars and officials of the Northern Song Dynasty liked to play, and was generally used to talk about the romantic and romantic. Now, it suddenly appeared in the secret memorial, which really made people suspicious:

Is it a coincidence? Or is Xia Shun's difficulties, falling into a certain situation, and being forced to write this fake secret memorial?

If Xia Shu was in danger, what happened in Yanzhou?

Zhao Zhen suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

...

Zhang Xi went out early because of having an appointment with Chai Lin to watch the Cuju competition in the evening.

During the Chinese Lantern Festival, due to the extremely lively street markets, it is very inconvenient to pass through. "Get up early and go to the evening market", and the rest of the time it is blocked.

When we arrived at the door of Yuewen's study, we saw people bustling around, yelling to place bets.

Zhang Xi took advantage of his fat man's body shape and pulled away the people in front of him and squeezed in. He saw various sign-ups on both sides, all set up for the Cuju competition at night.

The score is a personal score. At this time, the performance of the score is a total of 24 players from the two teams. From the ball head to the players, there are seven goals demonstrations. Then, based on the rewards of the people around, the best player is selected. Based on the speculation, choose the betting chips.

Build ball points are the score between the official team and the civil team. If you guess the score well, then place a bet.

What makes Zhang Xi feel most magical is a design called "football lottery". The betting method includes not only single betting, but also double betting, the scores of each team or the winners and losses of each team.

There are many combinations, very eye-catching and low-priced, so you can buy a duplex bet for three cents.

The whole people of the Song Dynasty were fond of gambling. Even Taizu of Song loved Guanpu back then. Naturally, Zhang Xi could not escape the vulgarity. He simply took out fifty copper plates on his body and filled in a few pages of chips. Then he squeezed through the crowd, explained his identity to his servants, and asked Chai Lin to come out.

...

Zhe Yiran recuperated for a long time and his health gradually improved. He also developed a comrade-like relationship with Wangcai, Xuelang, Little Wolf, and group of wolves.

However, there was a long shed for thousands of miles, and there was nostalgia forever. After all, Zhe still asked Wangcai and brought her to Qingzhou City. After all, she was also concerned and worried about what happened to Liu Yue'e after the situation at that time.

A ragged beauty and a majestic wolf king walked side by side on the country road, behind which was a group of wolves reluctantly.
