Chapter 889

late March.

The annual Blue Moon Festival is coming.

As early as ten days ago, in Fengri City alone, people could be seen excitedly preparing for the festive atmosphere all over the streets.

The white mourning that was hung when the late emperor passed away at the end of last year can now be removed and replaced with festive blue and red. Blue represents festivals, and red represents Jingjiu Dynasty. The combination of the two is enough to express the extraordinaryness of this Blue Moon Festival.

First of all, this year's Blue Moon Festival is the first big celebration since the new emperor ascended the throne. Secondly, this year's Blue Moon Festival coincides with the complete victory of the South against the barbarians. Finally, this year's Blue Moon Festival is also the first festival after the cancellation of the money and food austerity strategy.

Daqing! It must be Daqing!

The tense nerves will be released to the maximum when the Blue Moon Festival comes this year. This is true whether it is ordinary people or yamen everywhere.

The most active and busiest ones are those flower houses that have just reopened.

Like the situation in other places, a big city like Fengri City cannot escape the ups and downs of the flower building industry. During the long period of money and food crunch, very few Hualou could resist and survive, and most of them died quietly. When they reopened, they either changed their signboards or changed their owners behind their backs.

The war ended, the whole country was jubilant, and the flower building industry was even more grateful, especially those flower buildings that had survived the "severe winter", their underpants were gone, and they were about to die, but suddenly spring ushered in.

For others, the Blue Moon Festival is just "Daqing" and an excuse to vent their repressed emotions, but for the people in Hualou, it is the first big show of rebirth!

Blue Moon Meeting! This time, each flower house took out the last share of their wealth, ready to give it a go.

There is a saying that cannot be broken but cannot be established. Now after a long period of money and food tightening, the flower house industry has ushered in an opportunity for a major reshuffle. All flower houses are aware of this. After this blue moon meeting, who can rise to become the leader and who will sink? Being crushed under the body and lingering, it depends on each person's ability.

Of course, ordinary people have always watched the Blue Moon Festival held by Hualou. After all, there are floats parading the streets. It is rare to see beautiful singers in the car, especially standing under the car. , if you are lucky, you can still see some exciting scenes, which is very exciting.

On the contrary, those in the circle or the rich and powerful people who have been paying attention to the Blue Moon Society only have some inside stories that are not known to the outside world. For example, a certain singer ran from one flower house to another.

Or a certain diva has become a good singer, stopped doing this business, and left without a trace.

There are also some flower houses that cannot be supported alone, so they hold together to keep warm, but now they are generally "strength" as freshmen, and the floats alone can show that they are rich and powerful.

There are many new signs in this float parade, and many familiar signs are missing. For example, Hong En Yuan, the largest and most prosperous in the past, can no longer be found now. It was replaced by a new building called "Ruanxiangfang", which was said to be completed by the gathering of several flower buildings that could not survive.

However, I heard that Lianxiang, the top singer of the original Hong'en Academy, redeemed herself, so she is considered a good person.

Originally, it would never be so easy for a singer to redeem herself. But the world is impermanent, Hualou itself has collapsed, and the binding force on the singer is not enough. As long as the singer who has some connections and confidence speaks up, and then raises the money for redemption, then there is nothing wrong with it.

As for what the singers do after taking off their make-up and going back after the redemption, it varies from person to person. Some people disappear from the world and usually find a remote town and marry themselves off. Some put on a new suit of clothes and became the old mothers of Hualou. Others entered the high gate and red wall and became playthings.

Lianxiang? There are quite a few people who inquire about her. After all, there are too many men who are obsessed with her charm, and they want to try their luck to see if they can get what they want. It's a pity that Lianxiang's whereabouts are easy to find, but no one dares to find her. Because he didn't go anywhere in the small courtyard in the past in Fengri City, but there was a rumor that this was where Lianxiang was waiting for Shen's residence.

Which Shen residence?

There is only one family in Fengri City that still has the "Shen Mansion" plaque. It was the mansion of Lord Shen, the commander of the Black Banner Battalion of Xuanqingwei.

Mr. Shen is only in his early thirties, and has already been worshiped as an official of the fourth rank. He is currently serving as a thousand-household official, commanding the entire Black Flag camp in the Jingxi boundary. Not to mention the top figures in Fengri City, even in the Imperial City they are famous, no one dares to underestimate them.

But although Mr. Shen has a smooth official career, he has never married. Firstly, Mr. Shen was lonely since he was a child, and no one helped him arrange marriage; secondly, Mr. Shen was busy with official duties, so he didn't have time to find a good match; thirdly, Mr. Shen became more and more powerful. I don't have the guts either.

I heard that Lianxiang, the top singer of the original Hong'en Academy, and Mr. Shen are not clear, and now it seems that the cause should be true. Lianxiang didn't leave after redeeming her body, she should be waiting for a place in the concubine's room left by Mr. Shen.

Why didn't you take Lianxiang in first? That's because there was an unwritten but well-known and followed rule in the old Jing Dynasty: before the head of the family came in, the concubine's room could only wait outside, paying attention to one's superiority and inferiority.

Is Lianxiang not qualified to be a housewife? without. There is such an answer everywhere.

But when will Lord Shen get married?

Interested people have noticed, it should be soon. Because Mr. Shen is now from the fourth rank, but has no real job, and according to the practice of the old Jing dynasty, it is difficult for people without family background to hold high positions, so Mr. Shen should get married this year.

Compared to the outside world's concern about Shen Hao's marriage, Shen Hao himself was not very concerned. Mainly, the values ​​of another world are still affecting him invisibly.

Isn't it because you should fall in love first, then live together, and finally get a marriage certificate when all aspects are suitable? Shen Hao has never been married, but he has given a lot of red envelopes, and he has been the best man twice. Now it takes him less than a year to find a woman to marry.

Fortunately, if Shen Hao kept silent, few people would dare to make up his mind for him.

Only Jiang Cheng was worrying about him in a panic. It is said that recently Jiang Cheng always used the excuse of drinking to run to the homes of colleagues in the Japanese army, or to the doors of civilian officials who are not familiar with him on weekdays. People who don't know why are wondering what Jiang Cheng is doing, but those who know the inside story understand that Jiang Cheng is helping Shen's surname to choose the right family.

Some people are busy, and Shen Hao will not be idle here. It's just that he was busy with the affairs of the Black Flag Camp.

The Black Flag Camp had never held any festivals before, and the gloomy days were the same all year round. But this time Shen Hao is going to change things. After all, doing dirty work is tiring, but life can't just be these hazy things, proper relaxation is necessary. By the way, let's pay some holiday fees or gifts, isn't it going to be lively!

PS: The Dragon Boat Festival is here! Have you eaten zongzi? Fresh meat dumplings are the best!
