Chapter 747: Going around and going around are all acquaintances (for the leader Fushengly)
It is said that during the period of Emperor Wen of the Western Han Dynasty, this festival was specially established to celebrate Zhou Bo's pacification of the Zhulu rebellion on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Every year thereafter, on this night, people would go out to the palace to play and celebrate with the people, because it was the first day of the new year.
The night of the full moon is also called Yuanxi or Yuanye. This festival has the custom of viewing lanterns, so it is also called the Festival of Lanterns.
The Shangyuan Festival originated in Chang'an in the Han Dynasty. After nearly a thousand years, the city is still the same, and the lights are still the same, but the sea has changed, and things and people have changed...
Three days before and after the Lantern Festival, Chang'an City lifts the curfew restrictions to facilitate people to enjoy lanterns, which is called "night release".
During these rare three nights, everyone from princes and nobles to traders and footmen went out to admire the lanterns. As a result, Chang'an City was jammed with cars and horses, and the crowds were surging and bustling.
Fang Jun has been traveling between the manor and Lingbo Garden these days.
This Lingbo Garden is also one of the few major brothels in Pingkangfang. It is estimated that there are some shares of Li Zhen behind it, so since the red-sleeved girl came to Beijing, she stayed here and became the number one in Lingbo Garden.
, in the past few days, I have practiced the song and dance choreographed by Fang Jun again.
Being entrusted by others and loyal to others, Fang Jun, who was originally not interested in the life experience of this red-sleeved girl, had no choice but to devote himself to it.
Fang Jun, who has been "poisoned" by Aunt Qiong Yao, does not have too many stories that are a thousand times more miserable than the girl with red sleeves, and his immunity has already been greatly enhanced...
On the evening of the Lantern Festival, Fang Jun took Wu Meiniang and Qiao'er and returned to Chang'an Fangfu in a carriage.
He was summoned back by an edict from his younger sister Fang Xiuzhu...
The customs of the Tang Dynasty were more open than in the past, and the shackles on women were probably the loosest in all dynasties, especially on the Shangyuan Festival.
"The road is blocked." An exception was made for the Lantern Festival to be liberated. Even ladies could go to the streets and walk among the bustling crowds. The Lantern Festival night in Chang'an City at that time was undoubtedly the most romantic night.
My younger sister Fang Xiuzhu was very excited about going out to the streets to enjoy the lanterns, but she never had such a chance to have fun...
But precisely because there were so many people on the street, Lu strictly ordered Fang Xiuzhu to be accompanied by her family.
The clinker elder brother Fang Yizhi was invited by his friends to have a drink and enjoy the oiran convention. Fang Xiuzhu was anxious and kept wandering around. Even his sister-in-law Du Shi was also very angry. She also wanted to go out on the street...
"Second brother is the most annoying. He spends the whole day hiding in the farm in Lishan, just having sex with sister Meiniang, and doesn't care about my sister..."
As soon as Fang Xiuzhu saw Fang Jun, she pouted and started to complain, expressing her extreme dissatisfaction with Fang Jun for "seeing sex and forgetting his sister".
Wu Meiniang's face turned red with embarrassment.
However, Fang Jun didn't take it seriously. He opened his mouth and grinned: "When you find a husband in the future, you still won't have time to pay attention to my brother."
In one sentence, Fang Xiuzhu was so shy that she grabbed Fang Jun's arm and pinched it.
My sister-in-law, Du Shi, smiled and said angrily: "How can I act like an elder brother? I don't even know what to say."
As he said this, he took Wu Meiniang's arm and whispered a few words in her ear with a soft smile.
I don’t know what she said, but Wu Meiniang’s beautiful face became more and more dazzling...
Fang Jun glanced at the pretty little girl behind Fang Xiuzhu, and said teasingly: "Oh, Miss Li is really dignified today. Those who don't know me would think that Sister Long'er is really a well-educated, sensible, gentle and quiet little beauty.
Yeah, hahaha..."
Li Yulong pursed her lips, rolled her eyes at him with a smile, and said nothing.
Sister-in-law Du Shi glared at Fang Jun and scolded: "Stop saying weird things! Long'er is also a big girl who is getting married, so you have to pay more attention!"
Fang Jun was slightly startled and looked at Li Yulong who was standing behind his little sister. The beautiful and smart little girl who loved to be around him the most was actually getting married?
What a sin, you are only thirteen years old...
Fang Jun touched his nose with a slight embarrassment. Naturally, a girl who is about to get married cannot joke around like in the past. He must pay attention to this aspect. Otherwise, if gossip spreads, he will not care, but it will be a pain for the little girl Li Yulong.
The social atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was indeed open, but it did not take girls' reputations lightly. If you dare to change your boyfriend and open a room with a new boyfriend like later generations, I will not beat you to death...
Hearing Mrs. Du talk about her marriage, Li Yulong didn't show much shyness and joy on her face, but gently lowered her head with a slightly sad expression.
It seems like another unhappy political marriage...
Fang Jun sighed helplessly.
Although he was extremely dissatisfied with this method of marriage, what could he do? Let alone the Tang Dynasty, even in the 21st century where love and freedom were valued, such things for profit were common.
What's more, wasn't Fang Jun himself also deeply affected...
No matter how sympathetic he is, he doesn't have the ability to go against the entire society.
Looking at the warblers and swallows around him, Fang Jun had a headache. When he entered the city, he could already see the crowds of people on the street. How many people would there be if it was time to enjoy the lanterns at night? The crowds are definitely not an lie.
He quickly called a few tall domestic servants to form a temporary bodyguard team with the people he brought from the farm, and strictly ordered them to follow his group and not stay away, so as to protect the safety of the female family members at all times.
"If someone with no eyesight comes close to me, no matter who it is, I'll beat him until grandma can't recognize him! I'll be responsible for anything that happens! But if the women are bumped into, I'll skin you when you come back.
!”
Fang Jun gave a very domineering explanation.
All the servants agreed with a loud voice.
Mrs. Lu was startled when she heard the shouting in the yard, and hurriedly ran out to ask: "Erlang, safety is the most important thing, don't cause trouble!" She was worried about her second son's ability to cause trouble wherever he went.
There is no foundation at all...
Fang Jun waved his hands perfunctorily: "Don't worry, mother, I'm just getting ready. There are no people in Chang'an who dare to come in front of a certain Fang Erlang to ask for an advantage!"
Mrs. Lu had no choice but to give instructions.
When the female relatives and servants heard this, they were also excited. It was said that this Erlang was walking around Chang'an with a real hand...
A dozen or so people huffing and puffing, without even getting in the car, walked out of the main entrance, strolled along the street, and headed towards Zhuque Street.
Just as he turned onto Zhuque Street, Fang Jun felt that his eyes were really not enough.
The sight of the crowd was full of bustling people. It was really like a flowing stream of cars and horses and dragons. Naturally, there were many scholars and other figures walking past with solemn steps and serious faces;
The large group of servants roared away, attracting passers-by's side glances; among them were Turks wearing light furs, braided hair, and black leather boots; Wu Tianzhu people wearing earrings and shawls; and people wearing small sleeves.
The Central Asian barbarians, wearing robes and fur hats with embroidered patterns and silk nets, walked by proudly.
In a short period of time, Fang Jun has already seen people from dozens of different countries walking around the streets of Chang'an.
Of course, the largest number of them are the ladies of each family. It is a rare opportunity to relax, and the women want to take advantage of the opportunity to come out and see the world.
As a result, countless scoundrels were naturally provoked. They were laughing and joking among the crowd, speaking obscene words, and looking for pretty women, no matter whether they were young women in costumes or charming girls, as long as they were looking for
When they see the prey, they squeeze past in groups, pushing and shoving to make the crowd chaotic. They mix in with their hands and wipe the oil happily. The female family members who have been taken advantage of are screaming and drinking, their faces are red and their ears are hot...
Fang Jun quickly ordered the female relatives at home to gather together, surrounded by the servants, and slowly merged into the flow of people on Zhuque Street.
