Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 155 Watching the Lantern at Night, Encountering the Sleeve Move

Hu Yue had been waiting for the two of them in the parking lot a long time ago. There were a bunch of things hanging on the front of the car, as well as rouge and gouache. It seemed that Hu Yue and Xue Niang had a good relationship. They both knew to buy cosmetics for their daughter-in-law. Not too small, Jin Yu thought smugly.There are no convenience bags these days. If you wrap things in paper, someone will definitely scold you, except for the pharmacy.Do you dare to scold?The pharmacy clerk dares to give you a few medicine packs, a big cloth bag of odds and ends, and he will give you a sentence: Didn’t you scold you for wrapping it in paper?Then please go back and figure out the medicine by yourself, don't care if you eat it to death!Very arrogant!Jinyu doesn’t have the confidence, the dim sum shop will be discussed later, even if it is opened now, there are not enough eggs, it will not taste good without eggs, and there are no various additives available, even if you want to fake it, you can’t make it, hate it!Will there be a sign "Scholars and dogs not allowed" outside the pastry shop in the future?Then I guess it's not just being scolded, but forget it and give in.The reason why it is called a "manly man" is because it can "bend and stretch", women, you can try "stretching"?
I'm used to the cook's skills at home, but I really can't get used to the food outside, except Feng Die Xuan, I don't know who opened it, it's all Jin's style, but Jin Yu dares to guarantee that it has absolutely nothing to do with him!Feng Die Xuan's food is good, but you can't take Yang Ying there?After much deliberation, Jin Yu still decided to eat steamed buns.This small steamed bun has already opened six branches in Chang'an City, and the business is booming, but Chen Rui was tired, and two more mills were built.

It’s good to be the boss behind the scenes. The small steamed buns have a small appearance, and diners basically take them home for use. Jin Yu and Yang Ying went directly to the staff dormitory in the backyard, and set a table under the big tree, which was very comfortable.

Jin Yu had a conversation with the old monk Huijing, and Yang Ying was very touched, almost subverting her original worldview. The strangest thing is that the old monk didn't refute her husband's disrespectful words. Is there really no such thing as a bodhisattva or Buddha? ?For a long time, Yang Ying thought that Jin Yu was sent by the Buddha to save her. Could it be that the Buddha also sent someone who didn't believe in Buddhism?Very contradictory!Anyway, now Jin Yu is Yang Ying's idol, she worships her so much, she just needs to live her own life well, it's better to ask for others than to ask for herself, it seems that children really need to "beg" their husband more .

Nightlife has been boring for a long time, and people will feel very depressed. Once there is an outlet, it must be a carnival.The Ghost Festival was originally a solemn festival for ancestor worship, but it was turned into a carnival by the people.The imperial court canceled the carnival, the officials and the people celebrated together, and the streets and alleys were filled with lanterns, especially near Qujiang.

It's dark and late in summer, but it doesn't affect people's interest in watching the lanterns. The people coming and going are much more lively than Daxingshan Temple. This time Yang Ying has no objection to holding hands with her husband.If you patronize watching lantern riddles and get dispersed by the crowd, it will be really hard to find them back.

The handicrafts of ancient artists are not covered, and the lantern paper figurines they make are exquisite and lifelike, which makes people linger and forget to return.

The means of propaganda are not at all backward compared with those of later generations, and are even more advanced, because the cultural environment of this era determines everything.There are prizes for guessing lantern riddles. These small prizes are provided by the merchants. If someone thinks they have guessed it, they can pull down the lantern riddles and take them to the prize receiving place to claim the prizes. Someone will hang up the new lantern riddles again. If the guess is wrong , someone still hangs up the lantern riddle, and let the later generations continue to ponder.

I just said that this kind of publicity is related to the cultural environment. This is because there are few literate people these days. Those who can afford to read and can guess lantern riddles are generally rich and potential consumers. The common people with no words can only be excluded and watch the excitement.

Yang Ying has a smart head and has won a lot of prizes along the way, including pens, inks, paper inkstones, combs, and rouge, which are enough for a while.The little face was flushed with excitement, this was won by her own real ability, and Jin Yu kept all the worthless things.Jin Yu had a foresight long ago. If he was strung up with a rope to carry it, he might be rubbed off a lot. He was all packed in a cloth bag, bulging in front and back, and he had a lot of face. This is a symbol of talent.

The two "walked through mountains and rivers" and went through thousands of people, and finally came to their own venue. Most of the lantern riddles were related to tea and the Three Kingdoms, and the prize was also a small bag of tea.Now the poker cards are mass-produced, and the thick rice paper specially ordered from the paper shop is enshrined in the positive plate carved by myself. Hundreds of pairs can be printed a day.

Manager Xie ordered people to set up two platforms in the open space of the road, one for shadow puppetry and the other for storytelling.Shadow puppet shows are usually performed in the Shenzhai compound, where the common people rarely see them, and the surroundings are full of people, which has attracted a lot of popularity for the chess and card club.Storytelling is much simpler. There is a table, a leaf, and a tree. Every time there is a 5-minute break in a lively place, the storyteller will come up with a sentence: "If you want to know what will happen next, you will find out at the "Tea Language Chess and Cards Club" in a certain square someday." .” It satisfies the taste of the audience.Even Yang Ying watched with relish.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyu!" Jin Yu heard someone calling him, "I looked for him thousands of times in the crowd, and suddenly I looked back, but the man was there, in a dimly lit place."——No need to ask, no one else called himself that, it was Li Daozong and Jin Yu looked around, Li Daozong and Yuan Tiangang were waving to themselves under the tree outside the crowd.

The lantern festivals in the Qujiang section are jointly organized by the government and businessmen. I heard that this Qujiang is owned by Li Daozong's family. I guess he didn't charge less venue fees.Looking at Li Daozong's rosy face today, you can tell that people are in good spirits on happy occasions. When the old men talked about Li Daozong, they all said that he made money well, he was not greedy for money but could live a happy life. Face envy.

Yang Ying is no stranger to Li Daozong, they have met each other in Yinchuan City, and the couple went there just to greet each other.

"A few days ago, I heard that this place is the most lively place, but today I saw it as expected! Is Xiaoyu going to do something big again?" Li Daozong said with a smile.

"Where, it's just earning some pocket money. It can't compare to you, Uncle Li." Hearing what Li Daozong said, it seems that he has been here for a while, and he may be addicted to hearing it here. "It's not an exaggeration, you must curry favor.

"Is there a good place for Xiaoyu to talk?" It was too noisy outside, and the voice was too quiet to be heard. Li Daozong's voice was almost like a roar.

Jin Yu shook his head, this is not his own territory, where can he find a place to talk?
"If Xiaoyu doesn't mind, go with the old man. I haven't seen you for a few days. I just want to chat with you." Seeing Jin Yu shaking his head, Li Daozong hinted that he had a place to go, and let Jin Yu and his wife come with him.

"Is Mrs. Jin okay?" Yuan Tiangang asked Yang Ying on the way following Li Daozong.

"That's great, thank you Daoist Yuan for your concern. My husband also said to go to Sanqing Temple in a few days to thank you." Yang Ying thanked Yuan Tiangang.But why doesn't Jin Yu remember that he said this sentence?

"I don't dare to be thanked for the effort." Yuan Tiangang declined.

The talking place that Li Daozong said is not far away, and the politeness has arrived, no wonder I asked Jin Yu if there is a place to talk, if there is, I guess Li Daozong would not bring Jin Yu and his wife here—Flower Boat of Fengdiexuan !
Jin Yu admired Li Daozong very much, he is really a chic and unrestrained person, and he led Yuan Tiangang to this romantic place openly, and Jin Yu's wife was there!

Fortunately, Li Daozong came to talk about things, not to be flirtatious. The presence of Yang Ying could also prove that he did not mean to spoil Jin Yu. "Call Hongxiu to invite us to talk about a song." Li Daozong brought the three of them to a private room. The window was wide open, and you could see the jade pot light dancing fish and dragons outside, but without the noise outside, Li Daozong was very good at picking places. !
Hong Xiu Zhao came in, seeing Jin Yu there, with a look of surprise on his face, but Yang Ying next to him was staring at him, which made Hong Xiu Zhao very afraid.When Yang Ying heard Li Daozong yelling "Red Sleeve Move", she gave Jin Yu a lot of face, she didn't have any expression on her face, and made several winding movements around Jin Yu's waist, as if Jin Yu was a winding robot .The whole Jin Yu didn't laugh or cry, he was very wronged.Hongxiu Zhao started playing. Fortunately, it wasn't the poem written by Jin Yu, but the one Jin Yu talked about last time. It seems that Hong Xiu Zhao is quite self-conscious?Jin Yu is a bit stinky, and he likes beautiful women, so of course he is happy in his heart.

"This is the tea that Xiaoyu gave me, it's really delicious, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha." Li Daozong asked the maid on the boat to bring a pot of tea, and said.

"As long as Uncle Li likes it, my nephew will send you some later." Jin Yu was ashamed. He didn't remember giving it to Li Daozong. Ying's white lie explained the problem, Jin Yu is not as good as Yang Ying in this respect.

Li Daozong shook his head and said: "I still have some, and I can't finish it in a while. The old man called Xiaoyu to discuss a deal with Xiaoyu." Li Daozong didn't beat around the bush, and said straight to the point.

"Uncle Li, please be blunt, as long as my nephew can do it." Qin Qiong said that he wanted to deal well with these princes, princes, and princes. Jin Yu didn't care about selling Li Daozong's favor, and he just pulled himself at critical times.

"To be honest, this Fengdie Pavilion is the old man's property. Xiaoyu is not someone who hangs around this kind of place. If he came here often, he would have known about it." Li Daozong has nothing to hide, which can explain Jinyu's doubts that day, no wonder Fengdiexuan's food is so delicious, it turns out that Li Daozong used the cooking skills he learned from Jin Yu to make money!Moreover, Li Daozong knows how to be a man, and he obviously said it to Yang Ying later, and by the way, he praised Jin Yu very happily.

Jin Yu nodded, waiting for Li Daozong's next words.Yang Ying's expression didn't change, but she secretly touched Jin Yu's waist twice, and didn't continue to wind the clockwork. It was the kind of massage, as if she was making some compensation for the impulse just now.Jin Yu likes Yang Ying's personality because she is knowledgeable and knowledgeable.
