Chapter 165. Night of Lights
In later generations, the Lantern Festival customs were made, and the family gathered together to make Lantern Festival and play mahjong to watch the Spring Festival Gala replay. In the Ming Dynasty, this feature was watching the lanterns!
This year is a bumper year. Every household has surplus food and does not go hungry. Every household has the intention to do it. On the seventh day of the first lunar month, almost every household has found materials to make lanterns. By the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Tieshan City was hung with all kinds of colorful lanterns all night, which is very beautiful.
This was also the last day I spent in Tieyi before leaving. After accompanying Mao Wenlong to understand the people's sentiments in the city for a while, he pulled the two girls from his family, and Mao Jue took the opportunity to escape. When he turned around, Mao Wenlong could only see the sneaky shadow of three people crawling into the crowd. The old guy was helpless and laughed and shook his head.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!"
The bright eyes were wide open, and the plain clothes were extremely excited and shouted around a rabbit-shaped colorful lamp, jumping around, and they were jumping around. They were usually steady and stable. They didn't know where they were thrown away, and they were like a child who never grew up.
Not only did she, even Adrena, who claimed to be knowledgeable, was fascinated by the lanterns all over the streets. Various colorful lanterns were hung on the railings and ropes, almost covering the streets, such as Maitreya, bird-shaped, and big corn cob-shaped, with many varieties. Last year, she was still in the arduous stage of entrepreneurship and was not too extravagant in the New Year Festival. This year's lantern festival was the largest in the entire Tieshan Mountain. Even after walking through so many places, she had never seen such a beautiful scene. She was holding a lantern in her hand, and the foreign beauty looked around and couldn't stop.
If it were the past, these two girls could form a unique landscape, but today, they were completely submerged in the crowd, because there were too many girls going on the street today.
The Chinese ethics are strict, especially since the prevalence of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism since the Song Dynasty. The older girls and young wives are trapped in the boudoir, and no longer can see the scene of noble girls appearing in public and walking through the streets in the Tang Dynasty. However, there are only a few days of accidents in the year. Today is one of them. No matter which daughter of the family, she can go out to the streets with confidence today without being scolded.
In addition, this is the most traditional Valentine's Day in China! On this road, Mao Jue has seen more than just seeing a pair of mandarin ducks sneaking into the alley, and you can imagine what to do.
However, Mao Jue didn't feel this romantic feeling at all. He was a little irritated when he followed the two girls in his family.
There was no way, he hadn't told the two girls about Mao Wenlong's engagement. The key was that he couldn't say it. He could not say it affectionately and could not say it to her with a plain face.
"Girl! How about the young master going to Jiangnan this time, bringing you a young grandma back to play with?"
This girl must have lit her little head with tears in her eyes. As for Adrena, she probably slammed the door and left.
Moreover, Adrena is really a troublesome thing. Before she knew it, Mao Jue still relied on her many things, including tobacco cultivation, milling, and copywriting. She could not take her there this time when she went south. If she brought back a woman without telling her, this girl would not know if she would have a major strike for herself.
The question is, how to speak?
While thinking, the plain clothes jumping in front of me ran back excitedly with a candied haws.
"Young Master! Those people on that side are going to go to the beach to put lanterns, can we go too?"
The lotus lantern on the sea surface is very beautiful when you think about it, but the sea breeze is also quite cold at this time. Seeing the girl's smiling face red from the cold, Mao Jue subconsciously shook his head.
"It's too late, so don't go!"
"Oh! Master!"
He was obviously a little disappointed, so Suyi took care of her little head, but at this moment, a sour sound rang out from the other side.
"Our young master is thinking about more than a hundred Japanese witches. How can we still have the heart to accompany our sisters? We are so old that we are so ugly! Alas..., in the words of the Ming Dynasty, we will be sent to the cold palace!"
It was so sour that it almost hanged a vinegar bottle on its rising little mouth. He hugged his arms and turned his face, which was also red from the cold, to the side. Adrena hummed angrily.
Mao Jue suddenly felt a slight pain in his mind. The engagement had not been disclosed, and the backyard had already caught fire. A few days ago, Mao Jue selected the group of Japanese women to change into beautiful clothes and placed them in the Hot Spring Valley Officers Club to officially start operating. A group of officers, Hungry Wolf, raised their hands to agree, but this girl immediately turned cloudy and lost her temper on the pretext that day, and almost scolded and cried a few new maids, and was picked up again today.
I want to tell her this, Master, I'm going to get married. Congratulations on being a mistress. Is this girl still not allowed to fly?
"Okay! OK! OK! I'm afraid of you, can't we go? Maoluo, go and get dozens of lanterns for the young master, let's go to the beach to put lanterns!"
The loyal bodyguard behind him immediately appeared from an unobstructed place to run errands. The girl Suyi couldn't help but cheer.
"Young Master, you are so nice!"
With a pop, a soft touch was imprinted on Mao Jue's face. Before he could react, the girl covered her red face again and ran away.
Seeing Adrena's smile, Mao Jue shook his head helplessly and hurriedly chased after him.
"There are many people! Don't run around! Simple clothes!"
…………
No matter which era, people's pursuit of romantic behavior is common. Since Mao Jue came to power, he has built the Tieshan Port with cement concrete for several miles, and this place has become the best gathering place for young men and women who pursue romance.
Five large sailboats were quietly moored in the port, and the northern specialty goods that were to be brought down to the south of the Yangtze River had been loaded. More than 800 sailors borrowed from Pidao Maojue and boarded the boat. They were lazily lying on the fence and looking down. On the sea where the tides were constantly rising and falling, an extremely beautiful wonder was showing them.
A few miles away, countless floating lights, and the swaying candlelights are as brilliant as the stars in the sky. On the shore of the cement harbor, a pair of young men and women also hugged each other. Without the intense and madness of later generations, they just kept the lights and looked at the sea gentlely.
This bloody and cruel era, a rare warmth!
When leaders are always good, and those young people enjoy the romance while blowing the cold wind below, Mao Jue can hug him left and right, sit in the warm third-floor captain's room, looking down through small pieces of mosaic glass.
On the table, ice cubes were soaked in wine, occasionally making crackling sounds. In the stove, dry firewood rose up, changing light and shadow in the dark room. When Mao Jue leaned on the soft sofa, he was also immersed in his sight for a while.
God is really fair. He deprived Mao Jue of his comfortable life and dragged him away from the world of bright and rich lights in his later generations. He even turned his identity into another person. However, this kind of rights and tranquility were something he had never experienced before. In later generations, he did not even have a girl who looked at him directly. Now, he has two confidants. To describe it in the slutty words of the ancients, that is what else to ask for?
However, just when Mao Jue was thinking about it, he let out a rumbling sound. The little white-faced red face, which was just excited, turned his head and fell asleep. The glass of wine in his hand also fell aside. A piece of red wine fell. Seeing the girl's mouth with a trace of crystal saliva flowing, and she was still smiling foolishly, Mao Jue pinched her little nose funny.
"Help her in! I'll wipe it!"
He nodded to Adrena and picked up the simple style. Mao Jue turned around and entered the bedroom next to him, stuffed the simple style into the quilt, and covered her with a quilt. Seeing her sleeping soundly, Mao Jue really struggled for a while, then he smelled a little on her face and turned around and went out.
After leaving the room and closing the door, Mao Jue turned around, a bright red and fragrant smell suddenly passed by his eyes. The gauze floated by and flew to the side. The afterimage fell. Mao Jue was stunned and looked forward in disbelief. For a moment, the only impression echoed in his mind was the Broken Arm Venus, which had been charming for thousands of years in the Aegean Sea.
"Adrena, are you?"
The milky white skin was flashed with yellow chews, and two red flowers appeared on the cheeks. The hands were behind her back to support her seductive body. She sat gracefully on the leather chair with her slender legs overlapping each other. However, Adrena's expression was still so calm, and a faint smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
"Although it's a bit different from what the young master is thinking about drilling into the sorghum field, this time the young master shouldn't leave again, right?"
"Why tonight?"
"This time the master arranged for the young master to go to Jiangnan, which is probably not just as simple as worshiping the ancestors, right?"
"In our West, if a big family is prosperous and prosperous, marriage is essential! And if Dongjiang wants to be passed on to the young master, the young master also needs to have enough descendants to continue the loyalty of the subordinates and retainers! But no matter the East and the West, they all pay attention to the equality of their families, and their concubines and plain clothes are obviously not qualified in their identities!"
After pausing, a charming smile appeared on Adrena's face.
"So, I have to leave an indelible impression before the young master leaves!"
Mao Jue was really a little scared. This woman was so rational enough that she was terrifying. After Mao Wenlong told him about this, he was not allowed to ask Wen Meng, Su Changmei, and Kong Youde to follow the steps and stay safely. He had never mentioned it to anyone, but was guessed by this girl.
After swallowing, Mao Jue turned his head slightly with difficulty.
"Suyi she..."
"Yes, I've drugged her in her wine!"
He stood up suddenly, and in the white shadow, a pair of heavy oppressive pussy pussed on Mao Jue's chest, and his blue eyes were full of smiles. Adrena seemed to have truly transformed into a high-ranking beauty god, looking down at Mao Jue's eyes that were a little panicked and confused.
"Women are selfish, aren't they?"
This kind of passivity is definitely not Mao Jue's character, not to mention that the fire has already ignited a raging fire, so what else needs to be said! He suddenly picked up the girl, and in her exclamation, the two of them tugged on the sofa just now.
The fire was pounding, the shadows were lingering, and in the floating sea, the lanterns were floating away with romantic blessings, and in the swaying waves, they continued to murmur.
…………
The absurd and impulsive night passed like this. After the celebration, the villagers in Dongjiang gathered their mood again and began the busyness of the new year. At the edge of the port, the large fishing boats packed the nets in the fisherman's horns, and the dock workers also packed up the big barrels. Everyone began to fight for the day next year. As their Lord Mao said, it is because of their love for life that they are fearless!
At the port, Adrena was a little weak, but holding the carriage window, watching the backs of five large sailboats and eight blessed boats heading south, there was still a victory-like smile on the corner of her mouth. Women are really smart animals. No matter how romantic Mao Jue had in Jiangnan this time, he was destined to be unable to forget the romantic night of yesterday. This is her future guarantee.
Black Pearl, tail building, captain's room.
"It's over, the master's stuff!"
After a long time of slept, the girl suddenly woke up when she was still shining on her rosy face. She got up, screamed in a panic and rushed out. However, as soon as she pushed open the door and leaned against the big sofa by the window, a lot of luggage suddenly came into her eyes. She was already dressed neatly. Mao Jue, dressed in a Confucian scholar, was stuffing into the cabinet one by one. When he heard the girl come out, he turned around and showed a bright smile.
"Boe Wen of Li has been sent here, there is nothing to worry about."
Finally, Mao Jue added another sentence.
