Chapter 143 Lights
Music sounds came from afar.
The Si Lady Cao reacted the fastest, "Here you come!"
A group of young ladies rushed to the railing, poked out their upper body, stretched their necks to look out of the city.
Li Ran and Wang Shi also stopped chatting, stood up together, and looked towards the direction coming from outside the city.
The music is festive and stable, and it comes slowly.
The first thing Li Ran saw was a gorgeously decorated elephant.
When he saw the elephant for a moment, Li Ran was a little dull and blurted out: "Is this an elephant?"
"Yes. This is called Taiping and Elephant."
The king was not surprised. Elephants were indeed something that few people could see in the north of the southern Yi.
"I heard from the third young master that there were only five elephants in the elephant house.
This is of no use except for several major festivals a year, and it is like taking it out and walking around like this.
Previously, I heard that the emperor was not going to raise an elephant, and it was useless and consumed extremely manpower and material resources.
Many people advised the emperor, including me, Wengweng. Wengweng, that the so-called etiquette cannot be judged by its use. A great country must naturally have the style of a great country. Besides, this is also a good omen.
Later I raised a few."
"How many elephants are there in the elephant house on the front beam?" Li Ran asked softly.
"A hundred heads. I heard my grandmother say that, like today, there must be sixteen heads on the front beam, each with its own rules.
When it arrived in Renzong, it was changed to four, which means peace on all sides."
Wang Yin's voice also fell.
"In the future, the world will be peaceful and wealthy, and there will be more, as many as sixteen."
Li Ran sighed softly.
"It's all about reincarnation."
"Well, my second brother said so too.
The second brother also said that, like us, we are born at the beginning of the world and grow up when the world is becoming more and more stable, and when this country and this family are becoming stronger and more prosperous day by day, they are getting older and are most blessed."
Wang said with a smile.
"Yes." Li Ran also laughed.
She felt so, too.
It is probably because the mark of the past was too profound. Until now, no matter how many people reminded her that her status is precious, different from ordinary or anything, she still felt that she was just a tiny pill in the trillions of ephemerals. In the torrent of life, she could not care about others and could only barely let herself live.
For her, there is nothing more joyful about being able to move forward safely along the current.
The gorgeous elephant walked slowly by, and after a pair of heroic imperial guards, Huo Wencan and Li Qingning were wearing fourth-grade guard dresses, riding on the horse with a serious expression, slowly coming over.
Li Ran looked at Huo Wencan, who looked particularly handsome and handsome because of Li Qingning beside her, and laughed out loud, "Why... they are they together?"
"I've also asked the third young master once."
Wang Shi smiled with his lips pursed.
"The third young master said that it was Mr. Li San who wanted to be with him. He said that they were both fourth-rank and the best. The third young master said that the prince also thought it was good."
"The third brother is so open-minded." Li Ran looked at the two of them again and sighed.
"The people of the Li family don't care much about their appearance."
Wang Shi paused and sighed as if there was nothing.
"Before my third sister-in-law got married, I didn't care at all, and I couldn't say I didn't care at all. But my cousin was right. My cousin said that my third sister-in-law didn't realize her appearance at all.
Now, my third sister-in-law cares a lot.
Alas, my second sister-in-law kept blaming herself, thinking that she asked my third sister-in-law to read more, but my third sister-in-law did read a few books and thought more and more.”
"It's not that I don't care, it's that I don't think it's bad at all."
Li Ran thought about the former colleague who had a short figure but was extremely firm in thinking that he had a bulge and a squint back and a good figure, and said with a smile.
“About yes.”
Wang Shi smiled for a while before continuing, "It's nothing wrong. Besides, it's hard to say what's so beautiful.
The grandmother said that when they settle down, no one thinks it is weak and uninhibited, but our family is weak and uninhibited at least not ugly. In the past, there were families in Jiangnan who were from foreign relatives, and their family most admired it for being weak and uninhibited."
The two of them looked and said, and in a few words, the ceremonial guards passed to the last couple of guards.
"Sure enough, there is no General Xie!"
Mrs. Cao Si lay on the railing, saw from the beginning and lamented.
Lady Cao San couldn't help but pat her and scolded her softly: "Look at what you have become."
"Let's go down and have a walk in a while. Last year we saw a lot of beautiful and amazing lanterns in Tianshui Lane."
Mrs. Yang, the Duke of Lu's Mansion, happily suggested.
"Will we take a boat along the Bian River to watch the lights this year? I didn't go last year, and I said it looked very good."
Mrs. Cao Si clapped her hands to agree.
"We don't have a boat in our house, do you have one? You definitely can't rent a boat now, why don't we take a look along the Bian River?"
Mrs. Yang asked around from Cao's family to Wang, and had to spread her hands and suggested.
"It's best to follow the Bian River. Let's go through Yu Street and you can also visit the Zhouqiao Night Market! The fourth sister goes with us!"
Mrs. Cao Si didn't care whether she was on the boat or not, so she clapped her hands to agree.
Li Ran was about to speak, but Wang Jing laughed first and said, "Apei, will Cao Sanlang keep serving in the palace?"
"I said no, let me wait for him to watch the lights together."
Xie Pei smiled.
"Oh!" Miss Cao Si said a long time. Madam Yang also clapped and smiled.
Li Ran smiled when she saw it.
Behind the lamp shed, an old lady came up and said softly to Ziqi. Ziqi smiled and came forward, reporting to Li Ran: The prince was under the lamp shed, asking the princess if she would go to see the lamp.
