Not many people know about this festival in later generations, but in ancient times it was one of the three major ghost festivals.
Unless the ship is at sea and has no choice but to do so, ships sailing on rivers must dock before midnight, and people are not allowed to spend the night on the ship. It is said that on this day, the starving and cold water ghosts in the water will come from the dark bottom of the water. Appearing and surfacing to find sacrifices, the Yin Qi is too strong. If people stay on the boat overnight, they will easily contract the Yin Qi and get sick.
The third prince is the son of a dragon, so the escorts on the official ship will naturally take this day into account, and have sent people to arrange a post station in Xunzhou City a few days in advance.
Sure enough, around the end of Shen Shi and the beginning of You Shi, Guan Yi took Yunling and Mr. Tang back to the ship of the Hou Mansion. Mrs. Mo had obviously received the letter a long time ago. She only nodded slightly to them and hurriedly led everyone We got off the boat according to the original itinerary.
When getting on the carriage, Yunling wanted to ride with Wu and others, but was dragged away by Xu Xiangxiang.
"Where have you been these past few days? They said you were busy with important things. Why didn't you say goodbye to me?" Xu Xiangxiang was very unhappy.
Xu Xiangxiang was not stupid, but she had forgotten many things, and her temperament was still the same as when she was a girl twenty years ago. Yunling didn't want her to know too many worries and worries, so she changed the subject and asked, "Have you eaten well these days? ?How delicious is the dragon scale noodles?"
Since she followed Zhou Qiong to the official ship in the middle of the night, she just dictated the method and let him figure it out.
Judging from Xu Xiangxiang's appearance, he shouldn't be hungry either, and some of the meat that had been lost before has also recovered.
Xu Xiangxiang nodded, then immediately shook his head, "It's not as delicious as yours."
Yunling was amused by her, "That means taking advantage of knowing how to make it. To make Zhenlun delicious, you have to be a cook."
Xu Xiangxiang still shook his head.
The carriage drove slowly into the city.
Today is the Winter Clothes Festival, and all the city gates in Xunyang City are wide open for wealthy families to go out to the city to offer sacrifices, burn paper money, paper clothes, etc. There is also a night market at the city gate for people to eat, drink, and buy.
At this time, stalls were set up one after another, and Xu Xiangxiang was immediately distracted by the sounds outside.
After she raised the curtain and took a look, she smiled and said, "After we settle down at the inn later, we'll come here to play."
Yunling agreed wholeheartedly, "Okay."
As long as she doesn't make a scene and get off the bus now, she will never have a problem with it.
The inn in Xunyang City is very luxurious. It is said that there is a hot spring in the courtyard where the third prince rests. Thanks to Mrs. Mo, the Tang family, the guest room is also very quiet and elegant. Yunling thought that she had not seen Wu for quite some time. I still miss her a lot. After dinner, I thought about going to my grandmother to act coquettishly, but I didn’t want Xu Xiangxiang to come again.
"Let's go to the city gate for a walk." She looked excited.
Yunling looked behind her and saw Mrs. Mo standing on the road and smiling at the two of them, "Ling'er, Xiangxiang wants to go, why don't you work harder to accompany her? It will also relax my old bones. "Song Kuai, can you talk to your grandmother and take a break?"
Mrs. Mo was really the most loving mother-in-law she had ever seen. It was rare for a mother-in-law to dote on her daughter-in-law so much. She really fulfilled her promise to treat her daughter-in-law as a daughter.
Having said this, Yunling naturally did not dare to respond.
But he still hesitated and said, "Are it just me and Aunt Xiang?"
She didn't care, as long as she put on a handful of yellow powder, but Xu Xiangxiang's alluring face might cause a commotion, and she didn't want to cause trouble.
Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "It's okay. Qiong'er is waiting for you at the gate of the courtyard. He has his guards. You can just take a stroll, but you'd better go home early. It's autumn and the dew is cold."
Yunling took Xu Xiangxiang out and prepared veils for both of them.
She likes to nip all unstable factors in the cradle instead of waiting for things to happen before worrying about them. Putting the cart before the horse can easily lead to trouble.
After meeting Zhou Qiong, I realized that I had been worrying too much.
The third prince also had to go on a trip, and he was surrounded by a large number of guards, who closely surrounded them as they walked.
Some brave people would glance at him and pay attention, but those who were less timid didn't even dare to look at him, for fear of offending the nobleman.
Along the way, Yunling also saw another side of Zhou Qiong.
He was very obedient to Xu Xiangxiang, and the two of them seemed not to be mother and son, but father and daughter. One was working hard, the other was coaxing softly, and there was no trace of the little bully of Ruidu anywhere.
"Sister Tang, do you want candied haws on a stick? I'll buy it for you."
"Sister Tang, are you looking at this bamboo dragonfly? Do you want it? I'll buy you a pair. One alone doesn't look good."
"Sister Tang, do you like this puppet? I'll buy it for you!"
On the way, the third prince was very attentive to Yunling and would buy her almost everything he saw.
Just don't let your eyes be glued to those things when he asks questions.
The little kid's "caring" is all an illusion!
Seeing that she wandered into another mask stall, Yunling didn't want the third prince to take the initiative to speak again.
She's very knowledgeable.
"This one looks good. I want it. Third Young Master, can you see which one else looks good and buy it for me too?"
There was a rather delicate jade-faced fox mask on the stall, so she picked it up and put it on.
The third prince's eyes shone when he saw the various masks on the stall.
His Majesty thinks that these kinds of toys are just things to play with, and are not allowed to be brought into the palace as tribute from outside. Therefore, he rarely sees them and plays with them. The occasional jigsaw puzzles and the like are given to him by his brother and cousin when they go out. He brought it.
At the age of seven this year, he left the palace for the first time and was very curious about everything.
I picked four in a row and was still not satisfied, so I almost finished the stall.
Just like that, several leading guards, including Guan Yi, put on masks, and a strange group of people appeared on the street.
Everyone was walking and shopping. At this moment, a young man suddenly jumped out of a dark alley and ran rampant in the crowd. Behind him, there were seven or eight big men following closely behind him, chasing him. Shouting: "You bastard, you are so brave that you dare to run away? Believe it or not, grandpas will catch you back and break your legs!"
The young man was running rampant in the crowd. His clothes were in tatters and there were faint red stains of old blood. It looked like he had been tortured.
The young man didn't say anything, he just gritted his teeth and kept rushing forward. Even if he accidentally touched the flames on someone's lantern stall, he was still unmoved. He reluctantly moved forward, not even daring to reach out and brush it away, for fear of losing time. He was caught up by the big men behind him.
Even so, the young man's speed became slower and slower. Finally, when someone picked up the back of his collar, he crashed into a guard with all his might.
The guard instantly pulled out the long knife from his waist and swung it directly.
