Chapter 74: Uemoto night

"Why, is it someone Mr. Su knows?" Xia Dong looked at Mei Changsu's expression and asked.
"It's not knowing, just met.
It was a man from Jing Wang Mansion. Although I only visited Lord Jing once, I had some impressions of this man. "
Xia Donglue was a little surprised, "A centurion would actually make an impression on Mr. Su, should I think there is something extraordinary?"
Mei Changsu nodded, "I don't know his superiority, but I haven't changed a little bit now ..."
This sounds strange. Xia Dong raised his eyebrows and wanted to ask again. The centurion had already stepped up and stepped over, but ignored Mei Changsu, but just gave Xia Dong a fist and said: Qi Meng, the centenary commander of Jingjun, Qi Xia, did Master Xia come down from the mountain? "
Xia Dong glanced at him and nodded slightly: "Not bad."
"What monsters have you seen when the two were on the mountain?"
"Monster?" Xia Dong frowned. "How can there be monsters here in Kyoto?"
"Yes, it's a brown-haired monster that disturbed the mountain people, so we were ordered to round it up."
Mei Changsu interjected and asked, "I remember you have acted for a while now, why haven't you caught it yet?"
Qi Meng was originally a fourth-ranking general, but the rank obtained by battle was reduced to a centurion because of a few cold words from Mei Changsu. It is false to say that there is no pimple in his heart, but it is also true in Jing Wang Fuzhong He was quite a discerning man. When he was hit by a military stick that day, at least three people came to persuade him to explain the truth clearly, which made him feel shameful.
Seeing Mei Changsu again at this time, although still uncomfortable in his heart, he was unwilling to take the initiative to deal with him, but since he opened his mouth to ask each other, he didn't shake his face.
"There are many forests in the eastern suburbs, and the monster is extremely cunning. We ca n’t stay here day by day. We only come here when the mountain people have a report, but we ca n’t see the shadow every time we come. It's not wrong ... "
Mei Changsu looked at Shino and thought that the eastern suburbs are covered with mountains and a very wide range. If he wanted to catch a beast in a targeted manner, he was afraid that it would indeed be like a needle in a haystack. No wonder he was always exhausted.
"Shouldn't the mountain people report the case, should Jing Zhao Yin Yamen be in charge?" Xia Dong asked again.
"That monster is so powerful, the catchers of Jingzhao Yamen passed by once, and fifty people were injured by half, and eventually they were not caught.
Gao Fuyin had no choice but to ask our lord.
This kind of work has no great merit, and only our prince is willing to take care of it. "
Xia Dong knew in his heart that the centurion's words were true, but she had a knot with Jing Wang and was reluctant to comment more. He snorted and turned to Mei Changsu: "I will go back to the city.
See you later. "
"Master Xia walks slowly." Mei Changsu owed a gift, and had always watched Xia Dong go to the chaliao to fetch her mount. After raising the whip to urge the horse to go, Fang turned back slowly and gave Qi Meng a glance.
"What are you doing?" Qi Meng was a little guilty at first glance, and his brain turned quickly, remembering if he had said anything wrong.
Seeing him look nervous, Mei Changsu couldn't help but smile, "It's not bad, I haven't seen you for a few days, I learned to reflect on myself."
It seems that His Majesty King Jing does have a subordination department.
There was nothing wrong with what you said in front of Xia Dong, but you can't say it if you can.
His Royal Highness King now has to do more and talk less. He understands this truth, and you should understand even more when you are under his command. "
Mei Changsu is just a civilian, not a courtier around Jing Wang, and Qi Meng is somewhat of a prince. It stands to reason that he has no qualifications to teach people, but somehow, he stood there indifferently and weakly. There was a persuasive momentum that made Qi Meng nod unconsciously and said, "I know."
At this time, Li Gang ordered someone to drive the carriage over, put down the footrest, and helped Mei Chang Su board the car.
Just when the carriage was about to start, Mei Changsu suddenly lifted the car curtain, protruding half of his body as if remembering something, to Qi Meng: "You ask the mountain people what the monster likes to eat, set a trap to lead it well Now. "
Qi Meng didn't react under the stun, the car curtain was put down again, and the coachman's whip twitched a little, and went away.
That night Mei Changsu returned to his home, and learned that Wang Guoran had invited him personally, because he did not believe he was really there, and insisted on seeing around in the backyard. Later, because his family was already a guest, he could n’t wait much. Only then did he leave in a daze.
After the tenth day, various places in Beijing began to hang lanterns in preparation for the Lantern Festival.
The palace is no exception. From the Queen to the Caipin, all the palaces and the courtyards have their own ideas, and they are rushing to create new and elegant lanterns for the emperor to enjoy on the fifteenth day, and won praises.
But for some people, this group of happy and peaceful atmosphere is just the surface.
While embarking on the investigation of the murder of the internal supervisors, Meng Zhi, the chief of the imprisoned army, vigorously improved the palace defense settings, intensive scheduling and increased inspections, and soon achieved results, preventing two eunuchs from deliberately setting fire in the palace.
Unfortunately, the arrested suspects died on the spot and did not ask for confessions, but according to the identity of the body investigation, these suspects were indeed registered eunuchs, not mixed from outside.
Because of this, Queen Yan was reprimanded by Liang Emperor in public and was forced to take off her hair and ask for sin.
She understands that any trouble in the palace is responsible for the owner of the East Palace, not the other concubines. The Yue concubine does not bear any guilt, so she can only pay more attention to the movement of the palace.
The queen was the daughter of the first prince of the first dynasty. At the age of 16, the emperor Liang, who was married to the county king at that time, was the concubine. Since the emperor Liang was enthroned, he was crowned the queen and has been in charge of the Sixth Palace.
Although it has long been graceful and has no children, but the maiden of the main palace in these years is not white, after all, the harem has her own uniqueness, and the Yue Princess ’s favor at the time was not able to make any big waves. Now, he has been ruthlessly reorganized and can still control the situation.
Compared with the haze in the palace, Mei Changsu's actions outside the palace seem to be much more leisurely.
After discovering several Jianghu masters currently connected with Zhuo Dingfeng in Beijing, the Jiangzuo League suzerain rushed to send an unknown swordsman into Beijing, and challenged each other in accordance with the rules of the rivers and lakes. I couldn't get out of bed for a month, and the solution was clean and tidy.
After the unknown swordsman quickly caused a wave, he disappeared and disappeared, causing a lot of rumors. Everyone was speculating about where this person came from. Will he be on the Langya master list next year ... …
Without a helper, Zhuoding Feng also sensitively noticed that there always seemed to be eyeliners to follow, and the method of visiting was extremely old-fashioned. Although it felt wrong, he couldn't catch it.
In this case, he had no choice but to spend so much with his opponent.
Xie Yu is a cautious person. He does not need to leave evidence for his affairs. Because he is worried that the suspension of the mirror has caused some action, he has not dared to urge Zhuoding Feng to hurriedly start. Such a stalemate for a few days will naturally bring peace in Beijing.
The tradition of New Year ’s Eve is to keep the year, and the tradition of the Lantern Festival is to call friends and friends to watch the lanterns.
Although the security is strengthened outside the palace in the dark, for Mei Changsu hidden behind the scenes, the entertainment should be the same, especially when he is dressed in beautiful clothes and tied When the new hair band is ready to go out to watch the lights.
Because there is no curfew tonight, and the crowds in the market are rolling, Li Gang has done a lot of intense work, not only arranging the guards to surround around, but also specifically told Fei Liu to hold Su Ge's hand, don't lose it.
"I won't lose it!" Fei Liu felt quite humiliated by Uncle Li's command.
"You know when you go out. The market in the Lantern Festival is crowded. If you are not careful, you will get lost and fly. You can't carelessly."
"Don't lose it!" Fei Liu still insisted angrily.
Mei Changsu smiled and patted the teenager's head, and said softly: "You made a mistake. Uncle Li means that Brother Su will lose, not that we will fly away."
Fei Liu froze for a long time, thinking for a long time, and suddenly took Mei Changsu's hand tightly and shouted, "Don't lose it!"
Li Gang was relieved, wiping the sweat on his forehead.
After the first change, a group of people went out of the house and just entered the prosperous main street of Lamp Street, and immediately felt the shoulder-to-shoulder atmosphere.
Between Yuhuahuashuo and Ambilight, the crowd is woven and the laughter is loud.
This is the most indistinguishable day in the ranks of the capitals of the Liang Dynasty. Noble senior officials and civilians are no different. There is no obvious difference among the people watching the lanterns. Many famous Gaudi even wear white masks on the Lantern Festival. Squeezed into a bunch of lanterns for fun is a fashion. Only the valuable ladies and showgirls will pull up the fabric and block it slightly, but there are still many people who deliberately change into civilian women and cover their faces with top pockets. They walk around at will.
It is also because of the last day that the Yuanyuan Festival will become the best day for a couple to make an appointment.
Like all children, Fei Liu likes this kind of dazzling and dazzling things best, those rabbit lights, goldfish lights, walking lights, fairy lights, pumpkin lights, butterfly lights ... When he asked him "Buy it or not?", He would answer affirmatively, "Yes!" So that he hadn't walked half a street before, basically everyone put two or three in his hand.
"Sovereign, this is not the case for petting children ..." Li Gang couldn't help complaining, "Fei Liu must be eager to move the whole street home ..."
"Okay!" Juvenile Dale, immediately agreed.
"It's okay, after meeting with them later, you hire two people to send these lights back. Anyway, our yard is large, and it is hung up along the eaves, let Fei Liu have fun for a few days." Mei Changsu laughed After appeasing Li Gang, he turned back and coaxed Fei Liu. "Fei Liu, these lights can only be hung on the first month according to the rules. After the first month, all of them will be put away. Do you know?"
"know!"
Li Gang smiled bitterly, so he stopped talking and stretched his neck to look forward: "How can I find so many people?"
"Look for the Peach Blossom Lantern, well, they are under the Peach Blossom Lantern ..."
Mei Changsu's voice just fell, and a guard yelled, "Look there!"
Everyone looked in the direction he was pointing, and about fifty steps ahead, he slowly picked up a huge peach lantern with pink yarn and yellow core, which was extremely delicate, even in the Wandeng Cluster, Still very eye-catching.
"It's so big, it's hard to see if you don't want to see it." Mei Changsu smiled as he walked under the lamp with his entourage. In just fifty steps, he walked in and out for almost a quarter of an hour. Come together.
"Xiao Feiliu, this peach blossom lantern is for you, do you like it?" Yan Yujin smiled and shook the long lamp pole.
"Ok!"
"Thank you Brother Yan," Mei Changsu reminded.
"Thank you!"
"So many people are going to the Miaoyinfang you said, I'm afraid they will be crowded until dawn ..." Mei Changsu looked at the tide-like flow of people and sighed, "I regret to promise you to come out ..."
"It doesn't matter," Xiao Jingrui said. "It's just that there are more people on the main street. We walked down the alley and could go directly to the back door of Miaoyinfang.
Yujin is the most familiar with that road. He walks back almost every few days ... "
Yan Yujin gave him a white glance, "Familiarity is familiar, but it is not shameful, only the big hero can be true, it is true that the real celebrity begins ..."
"Okay, you don't have to be affair, let's go quickly. The seat you booked later will be afraid of being cancelled ... Rarely Ms. Gong Yu came out of the hall today and said she would play a new song." In the round field, a group of people squeezed and squeezed to the entrance of the alley before they were relieved.
