After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The emperor's carriage followed behind. It was obviously a small black-covered carriage, but it insisted on driving with a mighty momentum. Driving on the empty street, it looked like flying sand and rocks.

Zhou Xun's carriage drove towards the west.He opened the curtain and looked at the unfamiliar but lively street outside the car window, feeling a little confused.

What appeared in front of his eyes in the distance was a very lively area.

A few streets away, Zhou Xun heard the sound of music, silk and bamboo, and orchestral sounds. It was already the time of rooster crowing, and the stories on this street seemed to have not stopped yet.From a distance, he can still see paper lanterns hanging on the branches. If Hongmeifang is a sleeping forest, then this place is full of fiery trees and silver flowers.

Zhou Xun is not familiar with the capital city.When he entered the capital two years ago, he had been staying in the north of the city.The north of the city is the residence of most of the dignitaries in the capital, and the Moyuan, where literati often visit, is also located in the north of the city.As for later...he stayed in the palace all the time.Therefore, Zhou Xun is not very familiar with the area outside the north of the city.

Regarding the south of the city, Zhou Xun only knows that the south of the city is adjacent to the river, which leads to the canal, so there are many merchants and foreigners who come to the capital to do business.As the population moves more, commerce naturally develops, and the characters here are also mixed.In the south of the city, there are not only many restaurants, shops, and auction venues, but also to the west, there seems to be...

'Better places to go. Zhou Xun remembered that he had heard such a sentence winkingly said by some scholars in the ink garden.

But his mind has never been here, so naturally he doesn't know what this "better place" is.

Looking at the street in front of him, Zhou Xun felt strange for a moment.The capital is the most prosperous capital in Dajing. When businessmen from outside the Great Wall passed through the capital decades ago, they called it the "capital that never sleeps".The well-developed handicraft industry has created the bustling business district of the capital, and there are many night markets in the capital that last all night—sometimes, these hustle and bustle don't stop until Yinshi.Therefore, it is not uncommon for there to be such a lively place late at night, but...

Why are there all young men on this street?

They were crowded together, their heads raised, as if they were anxiously waiting for something.There were already many people blocked on both sides of Zhou Xun's driving. When he got to that street, there were even more people waiting, and the originally wide intersection was blocked.Because of the angle, Zhou Xun could not see the inside of the street they were looking at, nor did he know what was going on in that street.

The street they blocked seemed to be the grandest in the block.Looking from a distance, there are small wooden tall buildings on both sides of the street. Some people are drinking on the upper floors, holding glasses and looking outside.

Zhou Xun didn't understand the terrain in the south, although he didn't know what was going on here, but because of the weirdness and the impassability of this road, he put down the window of the car with the idea that one more thing is worse than one thing less, and said to the driver in front: "Since If it doesn’t work here, let’s change direction.”

The coachman's voice came from outside the curtain: "Young Master Zhou, it's blocked here, it's not good...ah!"

"Squeak-!!"

The carriage that was driving suddenly staggered and tilted to the other side, and the horse that was leading the carriage also howled!

Zhou Xun was almost shaken out.He firmly grasped the railing of the carriage, and twisted his ankle inadvertently.Still in shock, the guard quickly helped him get out of the car.Zhou Xun grabbed the guard's arm and said to the coachman, "Just now..."

"There was a hurdle on the road, this, this wheel suddenly broke!"

The wooden wheels, which were originally perfectly fitted with the frame, had their pins broken due to this blow, and turned into a state of lack of fit. They wobbled on the axles and were no longer able to drive.What happened to the carriage, the coachman was even more afraid than Zhou Xun.He squatted down anxiously to check the carriage, Zhou Xun heard him shouting: "This, this bolt is broken, and I can't find a replacement for a while, I'm afraid it's..."

Zhou Xun also squatted down to look at the wheel. The moment he tried to squat down, he felt pain in his ankle: "I'm afraid it is?"

Before he finished speaking, the crowd was already commotioning.

"The goddess is here!"

"The float is here! The goddess is here!"

People's shouts of excitement sounded like a tidal wave. This tidal wave rose from the streets that Zhou Xun had not seen before, rolled out of the avenue in an instant like a wave, and then swept to other streets.

The streets decorated with lights are waves, and the movement of people is also waves.People flocked towards the direction where the "Heavenly Lady" came like waves, and everything was swept away by the sound of the waves.Originally squatting, Zhou Xun, who was gritting his teeth due to the pain in his ankle, also received an impact from behind at this moment.

He was knocked to the shoulder and turned in another direction.

"Young Master Zhou!!"

The shouts of the guards were drowned by the crowd, and Zhou Xun was also drowned by the crowd.He was carried away by the crowd in this tide.

People pushed and shouted to see the true face of the "celestial girl". Zhou Xun's ankle was injured and he couldn't move dexterously.He didn't dare to stop in the crowd, let alone squat down - if he accidentally fell, the frenzied crowd would drown him in an instant.

His ankle was in pain, as if someone had stepped on his foot again.Zhou Xun frowned in pain. He tried his best to maintain his balance in the crowd, but was pushed wave after wave.He tried his best to turn around to find the direction of the carriage and guards, but he was pushed farther and farther until the carriage disappeared from his vision.

——What the hell is this place? !

"Please...please...no!"

Before he knew it, he had been rushed into that street by the crowd.Everyone was frantically cocking their heads, waiting for the floats coming from the other side of the bright lights.His ankle seemed to be swollen, and Zhou Xun was so crowded that he couldn't breathe. He stood on tiptoe to inhale fresh air, and the street scene in the distance came into his eyes at that moment.

This is a very palatial street.

On both sides of the street are wooden buildings, the wooden buildings are decorated with lights and festoons, and the railings are also tied with long silks and satins.Thousands of crimson and light red satin strips fluttered in the night with the summer wind, and behind them was a pale yellow moon.

That ingenious float came out from the depths of the moonlight.

There are more than a dozen young girls on both sides of the float. They look about eleven or twelve years old, either playing silk and bamboo orchestra, or walking and dancing.The two leading women sprinkled pink and white petals, and the woman in a complicated white dress sat on the float.

The woman's head is full of pearls and emeralds, and her white clothes are embroidered with golden thread chrysanthemums. Her appearance is cold and dusty.She sat there tall, all men's eyes were on her face.

"This is the newly elected goddess of Yanyunfang this year." Zhou Xun heard a man beside him murmur, "The most beautiful oiran in the whole flower street...the most beautiful woman..."

He felt the shoulders around him tremble, thinking that someone like him was standing here, and couldn't hold back the excitement in his chest.Just as he was about to turn his head to talk to that person, he unexpectedly saw a white-faced young man who was extremely unfamiliar and handsome.

This young man...was born very well!

However, what surprised him was that the expression on the young man's face did not seem to be caused by excitement at all.The young man stared blankly at the wooden buildings on both sides. After looking at the gorgeously dressed women and the man holding the wine glass on the wooden buildings, he seemed to realize where he accidentally went.

then……

He actually raised his arm quickly and vigorously, covering his face as if extremely ashamed!

The man did not misunderstand the identity of this young master at all. Although the Xiaoguanguan was on another street, the demeanor of this young gentleman clearly seemed to be a scholar who was incompatible with this place.The chariot carrying the goddess was getting closer, but the man was blushing, as if he was very angry, annoyed, and ashamed, and he pushed hard to get out of the crowd.

"Who is squeezing around there?!"

"Heavenly girl Qingruo is really a beauty, if I can spend some time with her, I..."

Zhou Xun came out amidst the sound of waves of people, endured the pain in his ankle, and squeezed out with extreme shame.He who has always been a gentleman seems to have erupted with great strength at this moment, and even the pain in his ankle was ignored by him.

When he squeezed out of the crowd, the blue gauze shirt that was originally on the outside was also squeezed out, and the hair crown and headband fell to nowhere.But at this moment, Zhou Xun has no time to think about these external things.He leaned against the wall and leaned awkwardly beside a wooden building, his chest heaved violently, and he didn't know whether it was shame, annoyance, fright, or both.

"But...but..." He opened his mouth for a long time, blushing and didn't say a word whether it was "hateful" or "hateful".

Zhou Xun can be said to be very ashamed at the moment.Since he was a child, he has only read books of sages and sages, and has always... always been pure-hearted and ascetic.When he was young, he just wanted to be a decent gentleman, and demanded this of himself everywhere. Even when the other teenagers were in Huaichun, he was just immersed in the depression of wanting to leave the Zhou family. Thinking of his future wife, he just wanted to be with her. It's good to respect each other as guests, as for this place... this kind of fireworks...

He has never seen it, never thought about it, never...been here!

But now, he came to this place somehow... He should have known that it was here!But, but it is really hard for him to think of coming to this place!

He was angry at himself for being dull and ignorant, at the same time angry at himself for going to the wrong place, and at the same time ashamed that he had actually arrived here.After all, he was only less than 20 years old, and now standing here, he was extremely uncomfortable, and there was a little boyish look of embarrassment in his expression.It's almost like...

It's almost like, I sneaked out of class to go to the place of fireworks, and was caught by my husband!

Even though there was no one around, Zhou Xun was so ashamed that he couldn't help but feel hot all over.After a long time, he gradually calmed down his breathing.The float was still moving slowly, and there was no one on his side.He sneaked a glance at the crowd on the street, planning to find a free time to escape from here.

Just as he was about to leave, his ankle hurt and he staggered and fell down.

Zhou Xun: ...

The fall made his hair disheveled, and he looked at his ankle with difficulty - it had already swelled up high.

Zhou Xun: ...

The house leak happened to rain all night, is there anything worse than this?
