Chapter 472 Shangsi Festival

As the sky gradually darkened, the city of Shangjing began to be filled with lanterns of various sizes.

As if it were a competition, the more grand the store, the more luxurious and exquisite the lanterns hung at the door.

In addition to some landscape paintings, there are also some lantern riddles written on the wall of the lantern, specially for night tourists to guess the riddles.

Groups of people gathered around the lanterns and kept guessing.

The person who guessed correctly happily took off the exquisite lantern and took it home amid the envy of others.

Those who didn't guess it, amidst the laughter and teasing all around, bowed their hands and retreated in shame.

After you sing, I will come on stage, and the whole city of Shangjing will be very lively.

Li Huowang, who was holding the horse, turned slightly to avoid the children running from behind. The girl holds an orchid lantern while the boy rides a bamboo horse. There were happy smiles on their faces.

Is this the method of Supervisor Tiansi? I was so ruined by Dou Lao when I went to Kyoto, but in just a few months, I was able to recover to the best of my ability.

Li Huowang observed for a while and asked Bai Lingmiao who was sitting in the carriage: "It's rare to go to the capital without curfew. What kind of festival are you celebrating today?"

"Senior Brother Li, it's Shangsi Festival." Bai Lingmiao's voice was a little soft as he was reading.

"Shangsi Festival?" Li Huowang quickly found this festival from Hongzhong's memory. This festival is the day when girls who are "in the age of haircut" hold the "Hairhair Ceremony".

On this day, the adults began to dress up the fifteen-year-old girl at home, eat fried rice cakes, drink scented tea, and eat black rice before going out to play. They also wore pomegranate flowers on their heads to pray to the God for a good marriage in the future.

As long as a woman has passed the hairpin ceremony, she has to pay attention to whether men and women can accept or not kiss each other, and she cannot show her face at will.

And after the hairpin ceremony, the matchmaker can also come to propose marriage.

"Shangsi Festival" Li Huowang muttered this in a low voice and walked towards the house where he had given the photo to him.

Just when he was about to reach the entrance of the alley, Li Huowang suddenly saw Zhuge Yuan standing in front of him.

"Huh? What? Is there an ambush?!" Li Huowang's eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent, and his body muscles tensed instantly.

Zhuge Yuan sighed lightly, shook his head slightly, and gently raised his chin towards Bai Lingmiao on the carriage.

When Li Huowang saw Bai Lingmiao's lonely expression at this moment, he immediately understood what Zhuge Yuan meant to him. "Miaomiao, have you never done this Si Festival ceremony before?"

Bai Lingmiao shook his head gently, "No, by the time I celebrated the Si Festival in the year I was born, I had already been kidnapped by Danyangzi."

After hearing this, Li Huowang walked in the direction where Zhuge Yuan's folding fan was pointing, where there was a vendor selling pomegranate flowers.

When he came back, he inserted the deep orange pomegranate flower in his hand between Bai Lingmiao's white hair.

"It's okay. Since you didn't have it in the past, I'll help you make it up today!"

Before Bai Lingmiao could hesitate, Li Huowang took her hand and walked towards the magnificent tailor shop nearby.

Li Sui also wanted to follow, but was immediately stopped by Li Huowang. "Li Sui, take the car home!"

When Bai Lingmiao came out of the tailor shop again, her simple white clothes had changed drastically.

Wearing a light-colored skirt, a water-colored gauze belt, and a purple-blue hibiscus-tailed long skirt with a waist and sleeves that trailed to the floor, she immediately attracted a lot of attention when she appeared on the road.

The tailor shop was obviously well prepared for this festival. The ready-made clothes were all in the girl's size, and they fit Bai Lingmiao just right.

However, Bai Lingmiao was obviously not suitable for being looked at by others. She was so nervous that she kept fingering the elegant orchids embroidered on her cuffs with her fingernails. "Senior Brother Li, why are they looking at me?"

"Because you are beautiful, and you are the most beautiful in the whole capital. What are you going to do next? By the way, eat fried rice, drink flower tea, and eat black rice! Don't think about anything else tonight, just be happy Enjoy this holiday that belongs to you!"

Bai Lingmiao didn't let go at first, but as the atmosphere around her and Li Huowang's guidance gradually put a smile on her face, she blended into the lively street scene.

She followed Li Huowang around the bustling streets of the capital city, looking at the beautiful scenery, guessing lantern riddles, and eating Huajian snacks.

At this moment, she was wearing nice clothes, eating delicious food, and enjoying everything in this short but extremely joyful time.

Li Huowang and Zhuge Yuan stood side by side at the back, looking at the back of Bai Lingmiao who was throwing pots in the distance, and the concentration on her face.

"Bang!" The words "I was born to be born" on the folding fan spread out, and Zhuge Yuan was fanning it. "Brother Li, your confidante seems to have something on your mind."

Li Huowang, who had a complicated expression, nodded slightly. "I know I know"

"Do you need Xiaosheng to help you clear up your doubts?"

"Brother Zhuge, I know you have read a lot of poetry and books, but you can't help with this matter. I don't have any good solution for the time being. I can only leave it to time for the time being, hoping that time will take away everything."

While the two were chatting, a young man holding a jade cat walking toward him on the roadside caught Li Huowang's attention.

This man has fair complexion, delicate facial features with a touch of handsomeness, and his crescent-white outfit makes him look a little elegant.

There are many girls on the street, so it's not surprising that there are more men coming out to see the girls. But what's strange is that Li Huowang can't see through his various emotions and sufferings. This is very abnormal.

Moreover, he was accompanied by several tall servants. These servants Li Huowang unexpectedly found that he could not see clearly.

Seeing the distance between them and himself shrinking, Li Huowang's heart lifted. "Who are they? Why are they approaching me in disguise? Could it be that my true identity has been exposed?"

But just when Li Huowang was thinking this, the young man turned on his heels and walked into a jade shop on the roadside. A somewhat worried Li Huowang approached quietly.

When he got closer, Li Huowang discovered that the young man seemed to want the jade shop owner to give his jade cat a valuation.

Listening to the jade shopkeeper constantly praising the jade cat in his arms, the young man seemed particularly happy. "Haha, this young master has good taste. I bought something for five hundred taels! It's actually worth five thousand taels!"

When the young man came out, the servants around him started flattering him, which made him even happier.

When he saw that they didn't look in his direction at all and were walking directly forward, Li Huowang thought to himself: "What's going on? Are they really just passing by?"

"Am I too nervous?" Just when Li Huowang was still thinking about this issue, he suddenly found that the young man was actually walking towards Bai Lingmiao!

Li Huowang immediately rushed forward, with the copper coin sword already out, and would throw it out as soon as the opponent made any movement.

"This little lady, please be polite." The young man stared at her white hair with bright eyes.
