Chapter 53 Mixed fish and dragons (two in one)(1/2)
Pei Min hung the jade pendant again and touched her nose speechlessly without thinking too much.
It's mixed with fish and dragons, that's what it means.
The more people there are, the more people there are, the more they are crowing and robbing, and they take the opportunity to make trouble.
This is an unchanging truth from ancient times. Most people in Chang'an during the Shangyuan Festival were mobilized and they were carnival all night. How could the thieves and thieves have the intention to avoid making a fortune?
As for whether it is because my mother is seriously ill at home, this is not within Pei Min's control scope.
As he said, it was not an excuse for his mother to be seriously ill.
If there is really a blessing or fortune every day, money is needed, and no legitimate ways are sought, and everyone takes extreme measures such as stealing and robbing, how can the world be better?
However, this trip was only a few hours, I dealt with Wuhou twice and sent two groups of people to prison. I felt unlucky when I thought about it.
These little episodes did not affect everyone's thoughts on the festival.
After the dragon lantern, the group went to Furong Garden in Qujiang.
It is clearly winter and the climate is severe, but when you enter Furong Garden, you feel like you are in summer.
There are thousands of different lanterns hanging from the lantern trees three or four feet tall.
As the cultural and economic center of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an has never lacked wealthy businessmen. Investment in building lamp trees also has the effect of advertising. They are happy to build lamp trees and are particularly generous in their efforts.
The lamp tree can't see the edge at first glance, just like a sea of lanterns composed of lanterns.
The scene was spectacular...
Wang Wei sighed: "In recent years, Chang'an Shangyuan Lanterns have not been pulled again and again. Every year, the scale has been better than the past, and this year has been even better than last year. It shows that my Tang Dynasty has become more prosperous and strong, and I have been catching up with Taizong and Gaozong's period..."
"The future will only get better and better!" Pei Min looked at the grand occasion in front of him and sighed deeply. Compared with the Shangyuan Lanterns he remembered before taking office in Taozhou, the gap between the two sides could not be determined by reason.
The one who was most excited was Xiaoqi and Xiaoba. They had never seen such a scene, and they were screaming in surprise.
They chatted and chatted.
Their noise disturbed many men and women walking together, but when they saw that they were two cute little guys, they smiled with understanding.
The two little guys are so pleasing, who is willing to lose his temper at them?
But children are children after all, and they can't stop them even if they get sleepy.
This was when they were resting, and it was extremely difficult to play for more than three hours.
Xiaoqi couldn't stand it first, and as he talked, he stopped talking.
He held Pei Min's head with both hands, treated his head as a pillow, and fell asleep in a strange position.
Pei Min hugged her in her arms, but she was not happy to wake her up. She felt a little erect for a while, but couldn't help but sleep. She found a comfortable position in Pei Min's arms to sleep.
Xiao Ba was too bored when he chatted and quarreled. After watching the sea of lights, he couldn't hold on in a warm atmosphere.
Pei's mother felt sorry for the two little guys and said, "I am old and can't play. Why don't you take Xiaoqi and Xiaoba back first?"
Pei Min thought for a while and said, "Let's do it, don't go back. Just rest in this Furong Garden, so that the two little guys will suddenly wake up, don't have enough fun, and they are making noise and are coming to play again."
Jiao Chen smiled and said, "I am a little tired, so let's rest here with my mother!"
Furong Garden is a royal garden, a place where only royal nobles are qualified to visit.
Every year on the Shangyuan Festival, the court will make an exception to open the garden, allowing the people to visit, and the beautiful name is to have fun with the people.
However, Furong Garden is only half open, and it is still prohibited to visit north of Ziyun Tower.
Because Li Longji would also visit Ziyun Tower on this day and look at the Qujiang Lanterns with his royal relatives.
His superior identity is destined to not be able to experience the pleasure that ordinary people can experience.
This is also the reason why Li Chiying is so excited. If Pei Min hadn't taken her to the Lantern Festival tour, she would have never felt the fun of ordinary people in her life.
Sometimes I eat too much delicacies, and occasionally I have a few simple meals of simple food.
That's what Li Chiying is like.
With Pei Min's current status in the Tang Dynasty, except for asking for instructions to go to Ziyun Tower, other places can still be freely in and out.
Wang Wei and Zhao Yiying said goodbye to Pei Min, and they planned to raft on the Qujiang Pool.
Seeing the lanterns is so lively. The river pond is rafting, and passing through the two worlds, the crowds will make you feel a big despair.
Pei Min naturally let them go rationally.
When she arrived at Furong Garden, Pei Min did not disturb Li Longji who was gathering in Ziyun Tower. She found a quiet building in a secluded place and arranged for Pei’s mother, Jiao Chen, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to rest.
Mrs. Wang couldn't stand the crowds and planned to rest in the building.
Pei Min left a few guards to guard him, and a huge crowd of people was missing in a blink of an eye.
All the older people retreated, leaving only Pei Min, Li Chiying, Li Bai, Wang Zhongsi, Wu Qier, and Wang Xiaobai, who was in charge of the escort.
Among the few people, Pei Min is the oldest, with an old bacon of twenty-five, and the others are twenty or under, and they can be considered real young...
However, Pei Min is still a little passionate about having fun.
With Xiaoqi and Xiaoba here, he didn't dare to go to the river to set the lights, so as not to clamor for the two little guys to set the river lights.
At their age, Pei Min dared not take them to take risks.
Now that there are little sevens and eights, the crowd has come to the bank of Qujiang with great enthusiasm.
There were small vendors selling river lanterns all over the shore. Pei Min bought one for himself, Li Chiying, Li Bai, Wang Zhongsi, Wu Qier and Wang Xiaobai, and asked them to make a wish and play with it.
This came to the riverside.
Wu Qier suddenly said in surprise: "Look, it's a meteor!"
Everyone hurriedly raised their heads and looked at the night sky, and saw a huge meteor passing through the sky, fleeting.
Li Chiying's face turned pale and she said, "Broom Star!"
Wu Qier said in surprise: "In our West, if you make a wish when the meteor falls, your wish will come true. Such a beautiful thing, how is it called a broom star!"
"Really?" Li Chiying didn't care whether it was right or not, and directly clasped her fists with her hands and made a wish with a smile.
Li Chiying secretly glanced at Pei Min, who was beside him, pulled Wu Qier and said, "There is also a saying in the east that we place our wishes on river lanterns. As long as the river lanterns continue and drift to the end, the wishes can be fulfilled."
In an instant, they became friends because of this illusory thing, holding hands and setting up river lanterns together.
Pei Min looked around and whispered to Li Bai, Wang Zhongsi, Wang Xiaobai: "Do you think someone is following us?"
Li Bai, Wang Zhongsi, and Wang Xiaobai looked at each other.
Li Bai looked around, and there were pedestrians around him.
Their group of men is very heroic and women are very handsome. The crowds passing by come and go with curious and waiting eyes everywhere.
How can you see this vast crowd?
"Maybe I'm too worried!" Pei Min smiled and said, "No matter whether it's true or not, with us here, I really don't believe that there is a clown who dares to come and find trouble. Just pay more attention."
Pei Min didn't know whether this person was too careless or that there was really someone who was ill-behaved.
However, they are not weak players, and Wu Qier also has a certain foundation in self-defense. Only Li Chiying really needs protection.
As long as you protect her, you will be worry-free.
"We'll also turn on the lights!"
Pei Min came to Li Chiying's side, regardless of whether the wish was true or not, and he also made a small wish, hoping that Pei's mother and Jiao Chen would be healthy, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba would grow up healthily, put the river lantern into the river and let it flow down the water.
Li Chiying widened her eyes curiously and smiled, "What wish did she make?"
Pei Min made a random comment: "Of course I hope the Tang Dynasty will be prosperous and prosperous, and the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe! What else did you promise?"
Li Chiying was embarrassed and shook her head like a rattle, but she blushed and didn't say anything.
Pei Min didn't ask questions either.
The group of them played around Qujiang again, and finally found a three-story pleasure boat for the purpose of visiting the lake.
Pei Min drove the pleasure boat directly into Furong Garden, and connected Pei's mother, Jiaochen, Wangshi, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba to the pleasure boat. He could rest while visiting the night view of Qujiang.

Qujiang Wuhou Shop!
Wuhou was a major innovation in the Tang Dynasty. Chang'an was too large in scale and had too many people. Just like the previous dynasty relied on the city defense troops to maintain public order, they were simply too busy.
The birth of Wuhou solved this problem. The so-called Wuhou is just like the police in later generations. Wuhou Shop is the so-called local police station. They are all over the neighborhoods and are responsible for fire protection and security issues.
According to regulations, there are 100 Wuhou and 30 Dafang at the gate of the city; 20 people in the gate of the city and 5 people in the small town, and the leaders of Zuoyifu under the left and right Jinwu.
However, the situation on the Shangyuan Festival was special. In order to dispatch an additional thousand soldiers today, Zuoyifu served as temporary Wuhou and was responsible for the public security of Qujiang.
There are too many tourists in Qujiang, and the mixed gangsters and irritable gangsters are dealing with Pei Min's word "dragon and snake mixed".
If you walk too much at night, you will inevitably encounter ghosts.
The thief failed and the gangster suffered. The people in the martial arts world could not defeat the soldiers' siege and captured them one by one. They were all locked up in Wuhou Shop.
The originally small Wuhou even had a full cell.
Sun Hao is one of the managers of Wuhou Shop. He drinks bitter strong tea, insists on doing the work of taking charge of the overall situation.
