Steel Dynasty - Chapter 207

[Chapter 207 Autumn Festival]

On Suzaku Avenue, Xiao Ming and Lu Fei were walking slowly, one behind the other.

Now in Chang’an, although Xiao Ming was concerned about the affairs of Qingzhou, he could not go back until the matter was settled.

At this time, he had nothing to do, and he was really bored in Chang’an. Otherwise, Lu Fei wouldn’t be so free that he wanted to go to a brothel to relieve his boredom.

Facing Lu Fei’s slightly resentful eyes, Xiao Ming smiled and explained: “My father is about to confer a marriage, and it is really inappropriate to go to the fireworks place at this time. You might as well go with Luo Xin.”

“I won’t hide it .

“Your Highness, it was this boy who said a lot of these things to the general that aroused the general’s anger. Who would have thought that this boy would be taken back by General Luo?”

Xiao Ming said with itching teeth. Why did Lu Fei suddenly remember that this problem was caused by Luo Xin, a corrupt and powerful son.

The two were talking when suddenly Luo Xin’s voice came from far away. Not long after, he arrived in front of them.

At this time, Xiao Ming said strangely: “Lu Fei didn’t say that General Luo took you back, why are you back now?”

“Your Highness, I just went to ask some questions. This time Your Highness comes to Chang’an, I will still serve you.” Your Highness is most important,” Luo Xin said with a grin.

Xiao Ming looked at Lu Fei, who was looking at Luo Xin with a murderous expression, and said, “You’d better serve Lu Fei to avoid being beaten.”

“Hahaha…” Lu Fei’s look made Luo Xin laugh, and he said : “Your Highness, I know that Your Highness is going to Fei Mansion in the near future, so of course this Jiaofang Si can’t go, otherwise my father won’t beat me to death, but His Highness seems to have forgotten what day it is today, right?”

“What day? “Xiao Ming said puzzledly.

“It’s the Autumn Festival on September 9th.” Luo Xin suddenly said.

Xiao Ming suddenly understood that this September 9th is actually the modern Double Ninth Festival, but it is called the Autumn Sun Festival in the Chongqing Kingdom. At this time every year, the literati and poets of Chang’an City always gather in Qujiang Pond to drink and admire the chrysanthemums.

Because there is another way to say this Autumn Festival, which is to enjoy autumn.

“I’m not interested.” Xiao Ming said lazily. When he was in Chang’an, his predecessor liked to go to Qujiang Pool at this time of year, but he usually returned angrily after being humiliated by other princes.

After all, drinking and appreciating chrysanthemums is naturally accompanied by reciting poems and writing poems. In modern terms, this is a day for literati to show off.

Because there will be two poetry gatherings by the Qujiang Pool at the same time, the poem will be divided into two halves, with a cloth blocking the middle, with men on one side and women on the other.

“Your Highness, you will definitely regret not going this time. Princess Pingyang personally hosted this Chrysanthemum Appreciation Poetry Party. It is said that many ladies from Chang’an City were invited, especially this talented and learned woman from a famous family. It is said that His Highness’s gift of marriage My partner Fei Yue’er will also be among them.”

After saying this, Luo Xin laughed calmly.

“What kind of chrysanthemum appreciation poetry gathering? That’s bullshit. Your Highness won’t go there. I’m going to the Jiaofang Division. There’s no poetry.” Lu Fei shouted loudly, almost rolling up his sleeves.

Luo Xin said dissatisfied: “What matters below you is more important than His Highness’s affairs. It seems that you haven’t been locked up enough in the dark room.”

After saying this, Lu Fei suddenly became anxious, “Try to mention the dark room again.”

See you .

Lu Fei was really anxious, and Luo Xin immediately softened. He said seriously: “It’s useless to go to Jiaofangsi at this time, because on this day, all the outstanding official prostitutes in Jiaofangsi also went to Qujiang Pool. When the time comes, I will take you to find a boat.”

Lu Fei suddenly turned his anger into a smile, “Just say no.”

Then he looked at Xiao Ming, “Your Highness, go ahead, this is from the Fei family. We don’t know whether a woman is tall or short, fat or thin, ugly or beautiful. If she looks like a dominatrix, even a woman from the Fei family will not be able to marry her for the sake of His Highness. Think about this. What should we do if we raise the hijab and scare His Highness out?”

“Go, go, go!” Luo Xin shooed Lu Fei away like a fly, “I thought I had seen Fei Yue’er’s portrait back then. , Your Highness, this is definitely not what Lu Fei said.”

Lu Fei laughed even more, “What’s the use of the portrait? It’s impossible to say that Fei Zhongshu was worried that his daughter wouldn’t be able to get married, so he deliberately made a portrait to deceive her. She lied to you so that you can dream about her daughter and treat her as a treasure.”

Lu Fei didn’t say anything, but Xiao Ming didn’t mutter in his heart, but when Lu Fei said this, he was really worried.

After all, there are only a handful of people in Chang’an City who have seen Fei Yue’er. If Lu Fei’s crow’s mouth was right, it would be too late for him to cry.

Concubine Zhen naturally found a wife from the Fei family for his safety in the rest of his life, but for Xiao Ming, he only needed to coax Xiao Wenxuan for a few years.

Even if there was no Fei family at that time, who could do anything to him.

Besides, this is not free love, and there is no way to understand a virtuous character. In modern times, appearance is still the main factor in meeting and dating, not to mention that the fundamentals cannot be seen before entering the bridal chamber.

Thinking of this, he said: “Go?”

“Of course!”

Luo Xin said with a smile. It was rare to have fun and join in. For Luo Xin, a noble kid from Chang’an, there was no reason not to go.

“Since you insist on your request, then go ahead.” Xiao Ming said.

Luo Xin and Lu Fei were overjoyed and said, “Your Highness, please!”

After that, Xiao Ming returned to the courtyard where he stayed in Chang’an and changed into casual clothes. Lu Fei and Luo Xin also went to change clothes, and the three of them met in Qujiang. Meet at the pool.

“Your Highness is going to Qujiang Pool, right?” Zi Wan seemed to already know everything.

“How do you know?” Xiao Ming asked strangely.

“Today is September 9th. In previous years, His Highness would go there every year. Now His Highness has nothing to do. Where would he go if he didn’t go to Qujiang Pond?” Zi Wan said softly.

Luluo’s little face flushed with excitement, “Your Highness, please take us there too. At this time, there are the most people buying maltose by Qujiang Pond.”

Hearing this, Zi Yuan also said: “Your Highness, just take us there, it’s too boring to stay in the yard. “

After thinking about it, Xiao Ming thought that the poem would be divided into two halves. If he couldn’t see Fei Yue’er then, he might be able to ask Aster and Lulu to mention it to him at the women’s poetry meeting.

So he said: “Okay, but you can’t run around when the time comes. This poetry party is a mixed bag, and many powerful people have evil intentions.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Aster and Lulu smiled happily.

After changing their clothes, the three masters and servants took the guards who also changed into casual clothes and went to Qujiang Pond. Generally speaking, the poetry meeting would last from noon to evening.

At this time, people were going to Qujiang Pool. On the way, Xiao Ming saw many gorgeous carriages heading towards Qujiang Pool.

Xiao Ming was not in a hurry. He admired the scenery of Chang’an all the way and thought about how to expand business into the Chang’an market. After all, according to statistics from the Chamber of Commerce, almost a quarter of Qingzhou’s products were sold in Chang’an this year. It can be seen that Chang’an The city’s terrifying spending power.
