Chapter 4 The eldest grandson
"The moonlight is full of the imperial capital, and the fragrance of cars and treasures are covered with the thoroughfare."
The Shangyuan Lantern Festival has been around for a long time. It has been said that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, even in the early Tang Dynasty, the Shangyuan Festival was even more lively than the first lunar month.
On this day, from the royal family and the peddlers and pawns in Chang'an City, they would put down their work on this day and come to the sky street for a walk.
When Li Ke's carriage left Yong'anmen Gate, Li Ke opened his eyes and saw that the ten-mile-long sky street was full of people.
On both sides of the spacious Tian Street, above the tall buildings and above the tall trees, colorful lanterns have been hung, which reflect the bright moon in the sky. From a distance, it looks like the colorful clouds in the sky, which is very dazzling. I don’t know if the name of Tian Street is related to this.
"Brother, look, there are so many people." Gao Yang used to staying in the palace and was used to being deserted. He had never seen so many people. He said excitedly at the bustling crowd on the street.
Li Ke looked at Gao Yang's appearance, touched Gao Yang's head with a doting heart, and smiled: "Your voice is softer. If others hear it, I just think that you are a rash person who has been to Beijing for the first time in the countryside."
Gao Yang stuck out his tongue and said to Li Ke: "Brother is out of the house, so he can naturally come out. I rarely come out, so I will be more excited."
Li Ke glanced at Princess Changle sitting upright next to her and said to Gao Yang: "You, if you can be half as quiet as Changle, you will be content with your brother."
Gao Yang said dissatisfied: "Sister Changle is older than Gao Yang. After Gao Yang's next few years, it will naturally be the case."
Li Ke smiled and said, "If this is true, I will feel at ease for my brother."
Li Ke said, and pinched Gao Yang's pink and tender face again.
"Brother bullied Gao Yang again." Gao Yang's face was pinched by Li Ke, and Gao Yang refused to suffer any loss. He turned around and pinched Li Ke's cheek.
In the carriage, Li Ke and Gao Yang were playing. Princess Changle beside her saw it, but her eyes were filled with admiration.
Although Li Ke is not the crown prince or the legitimate son, he is really attentive to take care of Gao Yang and is willing to work hard on Gao Yang.
Thinking about his two brothers, they only care about their own affairs on weekdays, and they don’t have the time to care about her, a girl. Not to mention playing intimately like Li Ke and Gao Yang, they can’t even say a few words, let alone care.
If there were any choices, how could Changle be willing to be like this quiet look? She also wanted to stick to her brother like Gao Yang to play and act coquettishly, but where did she have these opportunities?
Just when Li Ke and Gao Yang were still fighting, the carriage had already reached the sky street. Gao Yang shouted that he wanted to get off the carriage and look at the lights. Li Ke couldn't persuade her and had to respond.
Gao Yang got off the carriage, and if he had been happy, Li Ke would have been holding him tightly, he would have probably never known where he would have gone.
"Brother, look, what a big and beautiful peacock lantern." Gao Yang pointed to a shop in front, his love for him was beyond words, and he jumped to Li Ke.
Li Ke looked at Gao Yang's love for him and said to Gao Yang: "Do you want this?"
When Gao Yang heard this, he naturally knew that Li Ke was going to buy it for her, so he replied frankly: "Well."
Li Ke said: "Let's go, brother will bring you to buy it."
As Li Ke said, he remembered Changle on the side. Although Changle is not his sister, Li Ke was not willing to favor one or the other, so he also said to Changle: "What are you doing while Changle? Let's go together. If you have a brother you like, I will give it to you."
After hearing Li Ke's words, Changle also smiled on her face. She came out wearing the maid's clothes and did not carry money. Just when she saw what she liked, Li Ke helped her get rid of the siege.
"Brother Xie." Outside, Changle was unable to call him the third emperor, so he followed Gao Yang's name and thanked Li Ke.
Li Ke took Gao Yang and Changle to the shop where the lamp was set. When Li Ke arrived at the shop, he asked Changle, "Changle, which one do you like?"
Changle looked at it, pointed to a colorful bird lamp hanging in front of him, and said to Li Ke: "Brother, I want this."
"good."
Li Ke nodded and said to the man guarding the shop: "I want this peacock and this colorful bird, so I can pick it off for me."
The owner of the shop looked at Li Ke and saw that Li Ke was dressed in luxurious clothes and had extraordinary talents. He didn't ask how much it was when he saw things. He just wanted to buy them, so he knew that Li Ke must be a child of a powerful family, so he naturally did not lack money.
However, the owner of the shop waved his hand and said, "Today's Chinese New Year Festival, I'm just looking at the lamp and like it, you can follow our rules. If you win, you won't accept any money. If you fail, you won't win even if you give a hundred stale money."
When Li Ke heard this, he found it quite interesting, so he asked, "What are your rules? How do you get them?"
The owner of the shop took out a bow and arrow from behind and said to Li Ke: "If Xiao Lang had a ribbon that could hang a lantern three meters away, the lantern would be Xiao Lang's."
Mr. Li Ke was a little surprised when he heard this. Although the bow and arrow in the owner of the shop was not sharp and not very sharp, it was also a crossbow after all. It was among the banned ones, so how dare the owner of the shop take it out openly?
But after Li Ke looked at the owner of the shop carefully, he realized that the owner of the shop was actually wearing clothes that were long in the shop. It turned out that the shop was actually from the government.
On the night of the Yuan Dynasty, the government will also set up shops on Tianjie for the people to enjoy. It is no wonder that the owner of this shop does not need money.
Li Ke took the bow and arrow from the owner of the shop, weighed it slightly, then pulled it hard, pulled it for a full moon, and said to the owner of the shop, "This bow is a little lighter, but it is also useful."
The owner of the shop looked at Li Ke's appearance and looked full of surprise.
Although this bow is not a strong bow used by the Imperial Infantry, it also has the power of seven dou. It is not easy for an ordinary man to pull it away, but Li Ke easily pulled the bow. What a strength.
Moreover, judging from Li Ke's age, he was obviously a teenager and his body was not completely open.
"The young general is so strong." Seeing Li Ke's posture of raising the bow for a full moon, the owner of the shop said loudly as if Li Ke must be the husband of the general's mansion in the court.
In fact, the owner of this shop did not know where the major general was standing in front of him, but the prince who was pampered in their eyes.
When Li Ke was a child, he went north to Turkic as a mass, ate more beef and mutton every day, and practiced martial arts with Su Dingfang. His foundation was not bad.
In the past two years, after Li Ke returned to Chang'an, he became a teacher with Qin Shubao. He practiced martial arts every day and practiced diligently. Although his strength was not as good as that of a person like Qin Huaidao, he was also very strong, and it was difficult for ordinary three or four imperial guards to get close to him.
Gao Yang likes someone to praise Li Ke the most, and Gao Yang listens to someone to praise Li Ke, and he also shows a look of pride on his face, and said to the owner of the shop: "That's right, my brother is very capable."
Li Ke looked at Gao Yang's appearance and smiled. Following the owner's words, he stood outside the white line three meters away from the colorful lights, and was about to shoot out the bow and arrow.
