At the same time, Princess Zhaoyang, who was also in the palace, also looked up at the night sky.
I saw bright fireworks blooming in the sky above Wulinghou Mansion, like a dream.
Looking in that direction, her heart seemed to be in full bloom like fireworks.
It would be great if the fireworks bloomed only for yourself.
…
In the Wulinghou Mansion, after the fireworks were set off, Li Zhufeng took the lead in applauding.
"Son, this is a technical job for you."
When Li Changkong heard this, he also smiled and said, "You can watch it if you like."
Not long after the new year, it will be the Lantern Festival.
The Lantern Festival is about reunion, but it is not like the New Year's Eve dinner, where the whole family has to eat at home.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, there are many lantern festivals.
Qiandu City, as the capital of Daqian, is even more so.
Going to the Lantern Festival after dinner has almost become a regular part of the Lantern Festival for Qiandu city residents.
Li Changkong naturally wanted to see what this authentic lantern festival of the feudal dynasty was like, so he took Butler Yang and a few servants out and went out.
Li Zhufeng was not interested in the lantern festival, so he went to Dingguo Duke's Mansion to find Zhang Xu with a pile of good wine.
He said that he wanted to discuss Li Changkong's marriage to the princess.
There is no way, the King of Zhongshan is not here, and now among the nobles, Zhang Xun has the highest status and the most seniority.
So even though this old boy tried to escape every time, he really had no choice but to come to him for advice on such a big matter, and Li Zhufeng had no choice.
Although there is also a lantern festival in Taipingfang in the south, the most popular place for the lantern festival is Yonglefang in the west.
As you can tell from the name, Yonglefang has many entertainment facilities.
Most of the pubs and brothels are located here.
Compared with Taipingfang in the south and Xuanshanfang in the east, Yonglefang is relatively closest to the imperial palace in the north.
Therefore, it is also the most prosperous.
It is perfect for holding a lantern festival.
"Steward Yang, where is the largest lantern festival in Yonglefang?" Li Changkong said as he looked at the lanterns and colorful lights all around, which was very lively and exciting.
Butler Yang is an out-and-out native of Qiandu City. He has lived here for most of his life and knows everything about it.
At this time, when I heard my young master coming to ask, he replied calmly: "There are many lantern festivals in Yongle Square. It's hard to say whether they are the largest. They are all about the same."
"The most distinctive one is the Acacia Collection on Tongxin Street."
"Tongxin Street, Acacia Collection?" Li Changkong thought about these two names and smacked his tongue: "It's quite charming. What's the significance of this name?"
"Naturally, there are things to pay attention to. According to legend, in the third year of Hongde's reign, there was a poor scholar who was supported by his wife and lived in poverty for decades before he finally graduated from high school."
"And because of his handsome appearance, he was favored by the pilgrims who wanted to give him the title of consort in marriage to the princess."
"The Princess Wenhua at that time was born in a beautiful country. She was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and could compete with the current Princess Huaiqing."
"A good thing like this falling from the sky, if an ordinary person, would be happy and confused."
"Who would have thought that this number one scholar would refuse."
"On the contrary, on the day when the number one scholar was paraded through the streets, the wife of Chao Nang, who was thousands of miles away, was specially brought into Qiandu City to ride together."
"The one I'm walking on is Tongxin Street."
"The No. 1 Scholar said that it was his wife who worked hard for him to study and learn calligraphy. Although he is in high school now, half of the credit belongs to his wife."
"The princess is of course a beautiful country, but if marrying the princess means betraying his wife, he is willing to give up."
"He turned to his wife and worked together to share life and death."
"Before this, Tongxin Street was not called Tongxin Street. In order to commemorate the number one scholar and his wife, it was renamed Tongxin Street."
When Li Changkong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. Although this story sounded cliché.
But it is still very particular. How many people in the world can withstand the temptation of a princess?
For example, he couldn't stand it.
What's more, the number one scholar came from a poor family. After all, Li Changkong was rich and powerful in his family.
"Such a person, regardless of his ability, can be called a hero if only his virtue is considered."
"You must have been favored by the imperial court in the future?"
Steward Yang nodded when he heard this: "That's true. The number one scholar is indeed a great talent. Although there were occasional setbacks in the officialdom later, they were all resolved by him."
"In the end, just like Duke Jia of the dynasty, he joined the cabinet and was named the chief minister of the dynasty!"
"After his death, he was given the posthumous title Wen Zhenggong!"
"Wen Zheng... this is a huge posthumous title." Li Changkong marveled: "I never thought that Tongxin Street has such a connection. What about the Acacia Collection? What is this?"
"A collection of lovesickness is also to commemorate the Wen Zhenggong of that year."
"It is said that when he went to Qiandu City to take the exam, his wife missed him day and night and could not sleep at night. But when he came home wearing the scholar's robe, his wife almost didn't recognize him, or she didn't dare to recognize him."
"Someone on Tongxin Street thought of a way to organize this lovesickness gathering."
"This Lovesickness Gathering is a lantern festival, but those who enter the gathering need to wear masks. They don't know each other and can only look at their figures."
"Furthermore, the woman is waiting in front of the lantern riddles or couplets. If the man is interested, he will come forward and guess the word. If he guesses correctly, he can talk to the woman. And the crossword puzzle boss will also give gifts as a blessing."
"But every time you guess, you have to spend some money."
"Some people want to kiss a beautiful woman and get gifts, so they have no choice but to spend money. Unfortunately, they are not talented enough. In the end, they end up with nothing."
Li Changkong nodded when he heard the words: "This is quite interesting, then it's decided, let's go to Tongxin Street, Acacia Collection!"
Guessing lantern riddles and couplets, these things are all leftover from the past lives of our ancestors. Although Li Changkong cannot say that he is 100% sure, as a graduate student in the Department of Archeology, the most powerful thing is endorsement!
As long as he has seen it, he can basically guess it.
Therefore, he is not here to guess lantern riddles, he is here to purchase goods.
Bosses, are you ready to feel the wrath from the Prince of Wulinghou Mansion?
Li Changkong and the others walked very quickly, and before long they had arrived at the entrance of Acacia Collection.
Because if you want to enter Xiangsiji, you must wear a mask.
And since Butler Yang is old, he naturally doesn't want to go in.
The servants wanted to see the excitement, but each mask cost a lot of copper coins, so they didn't mention going in with Li Changkong.
So in the end, the only one who really entered the Acacia Collection was Li Changkong.
The mask he chose was entirely gold and white, with white as the base and gold as the pattern. It looked low-key and luxurious.
Coupled with his slender and straight figure, he has the demeanor of a noble nobleman who is like a jade in a stranger's world.
It's just that because I have never practiced martial arts, my chest and abdominal muscles are not very developed, so I don't look burly.
After walking in, Li Changkong looked left and right, and felt that it was very fresh.
