Chapter 44 Lantern Festival
………………
Not a moment.
The two of them walked out of Jiang Mansion one after another.
at this time.
Although the sky is getting darker, there are still people on the street, and lanterns are lit in many places.
Look at this lively street.
Gu Xiyao's mood improved a lot. She glanced back and forth at the stall and it took less than half a quarter of an hour to get out.
She already had a lot of things in her hands.
certainly.
What she held in her hands were ordinary objects.
It's not worth a few spiritual stones at all.
at this time.
Jiang Chen just followed him to pay.
After passing through the long street.
The two came to a more prosperous street.
People keep gathering here.
Looking at the lantern hanging above her head, Gu Xiyao's eyes showed a hint of surprise, full of novelty.
He pondered for a while.
She turned her gaze to Jiang Chen behind her.
He opened his mouth and asked, "Is your Kamikaze City always so lively at night?"
Jiang Chen shook his head gently.
He responded: "Of course not. The reason why it is so lively today is because of the Lantern Festival, which is held every year during this time and lasts for two days."
"Lantern Festival??"
Gu Xiyao glanced around, looking at the various lanterns, with a hint of understanding in her eyes.
Gu Xiyao: "So besides watching the lanterns, are there no other programs during this Lantern Festival?"
"Um…"
Jiang Chen pondered for a while.
He spoke softly: "It's not just about watching the lanterns. At this time, many talented people will gather at Mingyue Lake to recite poems to each other and exchange their thoughts."
Reciting poems and composing them correctly?
Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words.
Gu Xiyao showed a hint of curiosity. As the daughter of the ancient prince, she must be proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Now I heard that there is such a program.
Her interest was immediately piqued.
Gu Xiyao: "Then let's go to Mingyue Lake. It's still early anyway, and I want to see what kind of talent he is."
Jiang Chen: "Okay, let's go and have a look!"
The words fell.
Jiang Chen turned around and walked towards the south. Gu Xiyao quickly followed him, and the two passed through a deep alley.
Came to a huge lake.
Take a look.
People were coming and going on both sides of the lake at this time, and the excitement was no worse than the square just now.
Not only that.
at this time.
There are many boats in the middle of the lake.
In the middle of the lake, there was a huge building boat parked, and those who were riding the small boat.
Heading towards the building boat.
Take a look.
Most of the men on the boat were dressed in white robes, their long hair was fixed with a hair crown, and they were holding a folding fan in their hands.
It is very similar to the ancient scholars' dress.
Gu Xiyao looked at the lanterns floating on the lake and the huge boat, and she immediately showed emotion.
Seeing Gu Xiyao's appearance.
Jiang Chen said softly: "Let's go, let's go get a small boat, it's not interesting to just watch here."
Gu Xiyao: "Okay, that's what I mean!"
Subsequently.
The two of them walked towards the position where the ship was sent.
…
at this time.
There were not many people at the place where the boats were placed. As soon as Jiang Chen and the two appeared here, a middle-aged man came to greet them.
He smiled and said: "Hello, my name is Wang Gang. I am a guy here. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Gu Xiyao: "Wang Gang, right? We want a small boat to enter the lake. Please give us a price for the number of spiritual stones."
Um? ? ?
Upon hearing this.
There was a puzzled expression on Wang Gang's face.
He spoke softly: "Is this your first time here?"
Gu Xiyao: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Wang Gang: "That's right. Our place is mainly a place where literati gather. We don't charge any fees, but if you want to get a ship, you must get this poem."
"Only if you pass our chief's appraisal and determine that your literary level is sufficient, can we send you a ship."
Upon hearing this.
Gu Xiyao turned to look at Jiang Chen.
Facing Gu Xiyao's gaze.
An awkward smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.
He said softly: "This is my first time here too. I didn't expect there to be such a rule. Why don't you show them your skills?"
Listen to Jiang Chen say this.
Gu Xiyao showed a speechless expression.
"You...you are the Second Young Master Jiang!"
Just when Gu Xiyao was about to ask the other party to prepare pen and paper, a surprised voice sounded from behind Wang Gang.
Subsequently.
A group of thin men rushed up quickly, looking at Jiang Chen with surprise and admiration in their eyes.
Jiang Chen: "It's me, what's wrong?"
After getting Jiang Chen's response.
The smile on the skinny man's face grew wider.
He quickly said: "Hello, Mr. Jiang, my name is Li Sanchun. Mr. Gang has only been here not long ago. I hope you won't be offended."
The words fell.
Li Sanchun turned to look at Wang Gang.
He opened his mouth and said: "Gangzi, hurry up and prepare a boat for Second Young Master Jiang and others. Leave this place to me first."
Upon hearing this.
Wang Gang hesitated and said: "Brother Sanchun, I told you over there that you have to write a poem. Doesn't it break the rules if we do this?"
Listen to Wang Gang's words.
Li Sanchun was immediately furious.
He spoke again: "Just go if I ask you to do it. Where does all this nonsense come from? Haven't you always liked "Shui Tiao Ge Tou"? This song was written by Mr. Jiang. Do you still have any questions?"
Wang Gang: "What? "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" was actually written by him. This... this..."
Sudden.
Wang Gang recalled what Li Sanchun called Jiang Chen.
He reacted immediately.
Knowing Jiang Chen’s true identity.
He hurriedly said: "Master Jiang, please don't be offended. I am blind and can't recognize your identity. I will prepare a boat for you right now. Please wait a moment."
The words fell.
Wang Gang quickly retreated.
At this time, he looked into Jiang Chen's eyes.
Full of admiration.
See this scene.
Gu Xiyao had a look of surprise on her face.
She had investigated Jiang Chen before coming here.
Learn from information.
Jiang Chen is a playboy with no knowledge and skills. Not to mention his low cultivation level, he only spends his whole day living in debauchery.
It's not an exaggeration to say it's trash.
But after arriving at Kamikaze City.
Jiang Chen suddenly showed off the eighth level of body forging strength, which surprised Gu Xiyao.
But now.
Judging from the conversation between these two people.
Jiang Chen's attainments in literature seemed to be quite high, otherwise they wouldn't show such expressions of admiration.
suddenly.
Gu Xiyao seemed to have thought of something.
He glanced at Jiang Chen beside him.
[Could it be that the news of my coming to Kamikaze City was leaked in advance, so Jiang Chen specially arranged for some people to perform with him here to impress me? 】
The thought of this.
The more Gu Xiyao thought about it, the more it seemed possible.
[Hmph, this must be true. Today I have to let Jiang Chen reveal his true colors. 】
The thought of Jiang Chen decisively agreeing to terminate the engagement.
Gu Xiyao suddenly became furious.
Subsequently.
She set her sights on Li Sanchun.
He spoke in a crisp voice: "You just said that he wrote a song called "Water Melody Song Tou". It seems to be very good. Can you give it to me to take a look at, too."
Gu Xiyao originally thought.
After making this request myself.
Li Sanchun would probably refuse.
after all.
If it was really just an arrangement, even if there were poems, the level would not be much higher, and the whole thing would be revealed at a glance.
But what Gu Xiyao didn't expect was.
Li Sanchun heard that he wanted to watch "Shui Diao Ge Tou".
It's like finding a soulmate.
I couldn't wait to take out a piece of paper.
He quickly handed it over to Gu Xiyao.
