Chapter 268: Lantern Festival

The Privy Council is quite neat, and has already booked an entire floor in

Wanjing Building for Xia Fan to stay.

There are eight wing rooms, four servants' rooms, as well as the top terrace

and attic. The number of rooms even exceeds Xia Fan's actual needs.

"This is one of the best hotels in Shangyuan City. The people who come and go

are rich businessmen and guests. I will not humiliate your identity." Xin Wu

helped drag the luggage into the room, and then handed over a stack of famous

tags to him, the top of which One has a black background with gold edges and

seven silver stars are indented in the center. "This card means that you are a

distinguished guest invited by the Privy Council, and you can freely enter and

exit the city gate. As long as you bring it, whether it is a guard or an

official, you will not be embarrassed."

"You are quite considerate."

"My lord is joking. The Privy Council invites all kinds of guests, with people

from six countries and even overseas. It has become a common practice to

receive them." Xin Wu said a little apologetically, "Originally, you should be

the most special category. His Royal Highness received him personally, but he

has not yet returned, so he can only receive you according to the usual

highest standards."

"Can it be better than this?" Xia Fan sighed, "It should cost a lot of money

to rent such a floor."

"How can your arrival be measured by money?" Xin Wu repeatedly shook his head,

"In my opinion, this has already made you condescend."

What is professional? This is the profession.

Xia Fan smacked his tongue secretly, no wonder the princess would show a

watchful look.

If he hadn't experienced the sugar-coated cannonballs of capitalism and

enjoyed it, I'm afraid he would be a little bit overwhelmed with such a warm

treatment.

"Today you rest first, and I will pick you up in the evening the next day."

Xin Wu continued, "At that time there will be a dinner party on the Palace

Square, which is just to clean up the dust for you."

"Dinner?"

"Ah, I forgot to tell you that the day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival,

and it is also a celebration before the New Year. At this time in previous

years, the emperor would board the palace wall and speak to the people." Xin

Wu explained, "There will also be several places in the palace. Hundred

tables, many people with good looks will go to the banquet, and it will be

more convenient for an adult to introduce it. By the way, this adult is the

Yuyi I mentioned before."

Are you going to face the highest-ranking alchemist of the Privy Council so

soon...

Xia Fan nodded calmly, "I see."

"Then I will retire first." Xin Wu arched his hands and closed the door and

left the wing.

He leaned against the window and saw the messenger walk out of Wanjing

Building, then he turned to the inner room and said, "He's gone. How about

these rooms?"

"After checking, the rooms are all normal, there is no secret road, and there

is no place to hide. It is indeed a very ordinary inn." The first person who

came out was a thousand words for the living dead.

From the decoration point of view, it is obviously not ordinary. Xia Fan

raised his eyebrows, "Do you still search houses?"

"Those who don't know how to search are dead too much." Qianyan gave him a

blank look. "In this kind of thing, experience is more reliable than

anything."

"I've also seen it, and there are no traces of qi remaining." Then Luo gently

walked into the room, "You don't have to worry about the monitoring methods in

the Privy Council at least."

Li also completed her inspection, "The loft is not unusual. The area that can

be overlooked from the terrace is very wide. If you need to evacuate in an

emergency, you can prepare a hemp rope in advance and slide it down from the

roof."

Xia Fan smiled lightly, "Yes, it seems I can sleep well tonight."

"There are Qianzhi!" Qianzhi raised his hand.

Everyone turned their eyes to her, "Did you find anything?"

"Chichi is hungry."

Fang Xiandao slapped the little ** the head.

"It's okay, I just let the store deliver something to eat." Xia Fan smiled,

"This kind of high-end inn should have a chef on standby twelve hours a day."

In fact, he guessed well.

Less than two quarters of an hour after the shop Xiaoer ordered, seven or

eight dishes were delivered to the door, and Xia Fan noticed that the other

party did not mention the cost-obviously Wanjing Building adopted the method

of accounting first, and waited until the refund It will be settled at the

time of the room, and it seems to have a shadow of a later generation hotel.

Chichi happily hugged the bowl and ate to the side.

Xia Fan repeated the messenger's words completely.

"What the ** is this Lantern Festival? Why have you never heard of it

elsewhere?"

"Because there is no emperor in other places." Luo replied softly, "this

custom originated from the beginning of the establishment of Daqigang. At that

time evil spirits were rampant, people were panicked, and the city was like a

dead place. So the emperor walked out of the palace and personally Present to

the people the results of the elimination in one year and the goals for the

next year. In this way, we can eliminate fear and encourage everyone to open

up."

"At the same time, floating lights will be set up in the city this day and

night, and the lights on the side of the street will not be extinguished,

creating a bright and majestic effect. As long as there is light, the succubus

and demons will be difficult to invade, so as to make them walk on the

streets. People feel at ease."

"Later, this custom gradually became fixed, and the content of the statement

became the summary of the year and the outlook for the coming year, and was no

longer limited to evil things. The act of lighting the lights throughout the

night has been preserved to this day, and there are more lanterns and floating

lights than in the past. It’s brighter, and that’s why'Wan Deng' said.” She

paused when she said, “When you came here, didn’t you notice that there were

many lanterns hanging under the eaves along the street?”

"Youzhou Luo Family, all things are knowledgeable." Thousands of words

praised, "This girl Luo knows a lot."

"But I am the first place in the Qingshan Township Examination." Fang Xiandao

whispered.

"So there will be a lot of big people gathering that day?" Fang Yanni asked

curiously.

"Well, ordinary people have ordinary people's methods of celebration, and the

palace has the palace's methods of celebration. At least this ten thousand

lantern feast is recognized as the threshold for the upper class." Luo smiled

lightly, "Anyone who is invited will face Youguang, before I heard that there

were six officials fighting for qualifications."

"Then... there must be a lot of delicious things at the banquet?" Chichi asked

while stuffing his chicken feet.

"What to eat is not the point. The point is that you can meet quite a few big

people, high-ranking officials, giants, alchemists... everything. As for the

food, the taste can only be said to be okay, not as good as..." She looked at

Xia Fan, "You Fried crab made."

Xia Fan smiled and shook his head, "It sounds like you have eaten it

yourself."

"I have eaten."

His smile stuck.

The same goes for other people~www.mtlnovel.com~ When I first gained

diligence, I participated in the Wandeng Banquet with Master. "Luo Qing wrote

lightly, "Although everything is over, I don't want to deny those memories. "

Sure enough, the starting line of some people is different... Xia Fan sighed

secretly.

After confirming that there were no major problems with the itinerary, he took

a bag of luggage and walked to the attic.

"Need help?" Li followed.

"Well, I'll be more relaxed if you come--" Before Xia Fan finished speaking,

he saw a familiar fat cat poking his head out from behind her.

"Meow--"

"This guy! Isn't it the cat spirit of Jinxia City?"

Xia Fan twitched his mouth. Since he and Li are not in the same carriage, he

has never noticed that there is such a passenger in the convoy.

"That's it. I have taken it under my command and gave it a name, Fat Flower."

Hearing this name, the cat's whiskers all wilted.

"Uh, it is obviously not a flower cat."

Xia Fan squinted his eyes and looked at the other party for a while. If you

look closely, the cat is pretty good, with black eyes and white hair, and it

doesn't look like the common goods on the street.

"Do you have a better name?" Li didn't hold onto his opinions.

"This figure...this color..." Xia Fan pondered, "Or call it Gungun."

The cat spirit obviously didn't like the name much, but the fox demon laughed,

"Well, it sounds better than me, then you are called Gungun. Hurry up and

thank Xia Fan."

Cat Jing turned his head away.

Li pinched the fur behind the opponent's neck and twisted.

Billowing suddenly hissed and bowed his head to Xia Fan honestly.

This guy... spirituality is really good.

Xia Fan curled his lips funny and opened the luggage package.

Inside is a section of the antenna pole.
