Chapter 228 The Prime Minister of the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival(1/2)

This time, my grandmother was unwilling to let go of the veil of the cloak. She sent it from Yang Jian. Gala picked the decorations on the shelf for a long time, and finally chose a black gold hat full of tassels with tassels. This was the decoration used by the noble women of the Northern Region. It looked like a bamboo hat, but was woven with black gold silk. The surroundings were hung like pearl curtains. At the end of the tassels were bright red rubies, polished and round.

Hua Shang also thought this was beautiful, so she put all Gala's head around the top of the head, and put it out from the golden ring on the top of the hat, forming a tall and charming Japanese fallen bun.

Gala was stunned in front of the mirror for a long time. When he heard Yang Jian's arrival, he immediately went out.

When Yang Jian saw her, he felt that his eyes suddenly lit up and was full of surprise.

The girl has a slender figure, and it is not necessary to mention the beauty of her skirt. The silver red and gold cloak set off her is more beautiful and charming.

The most eye-catching thing is her eyebrows and eyes. Half of her face is covered by a veil, and no one can recognize her at any time. Her eyes are beautiful, like slightly blue waves of water, clear and eye-catching, with the embroidered gold on the edge of the veil, and even more radiant. The most wonderful thing is that she is dressed on her head, and she does not need any hairpin, hairpin, beads, flowers, and the white jade beads hang on her forehead like a curtain. The round ruby ​​at the end is hanging from the front of her nose. She sways slightly with the movement forward, and with her deep eyes, it adds a little exotic style and shines.

Even if he does not reveal his true appearance, his graceful figure and the charm of his eyes can already be full of beauty.

Not to mention the smooth and soft forehead, the cheeks hidden under the veil, and the soft and delicate red lips.

——It must be very tempting.

Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, tried his best to drive away Yi Nian, and then cleared his throat, "Are you all done?"

Gala said "yes" and felt a little uncomfortable when he saw it.

"There are carriages and horses outside." Yang Jian tried hard to retract his gaze and walked out of Nanxun Palace first.

He thought that in addition to being stunning, his eyes just now might be like a wolf or a tiger.

The carriage left Jianzhang Palace and soon turned to Zhuque Long Street.

The street was filled with people and the lights shone. Yang Jian turned over and dismounted and asked Gala to walk with him.

The Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival is of course not grand compared to the Shangyuan period, so the essence of the lanterns in the entire capital is almost gathered on the Suzaku Long Street. This should have been a day for family reunion. If it were ordinary families, moon cakes, osmanthus wine were placed in the yard, and a table of side dishes were bought. The whole family sat around the table to enjoy the moon and play with the moon. How happy it was.

However, the capital city gathers elite business travelers around the world, and most people are unable to rush home to reunite because of the long journey.

It is desolate to watch the moon alone in your residence, so as soon as the lantern festival came out, it immediately attracted countless people.

——Watching the lanterns lively and enjoying the city can always dilute the feeling of leaving home.

So at this moment, the area around Zhuque Long Street is full of people. When the float comes later, it may be necessary to recreate the grand occasion of the Shangyuan Festival.

Fortunately, Yang Jian and Gala came too late. Yang Jian was wearing ordinary clothes and followed Zhan Qing, Liu Zheng and Yue Hua behind him. As for Su Wei, it is said that he was sent to another place to wait for the rabbit, which must be for the Yuwen family.

Without asking too much, Gala slowly enjoyed and played with Yang Jian. Occasionally, he encountered interesting riddles, and stopped to guess.

Yang Jian followed patiently, occasionally Gala couldn't guess it, and even reminded him to help Gala get a gift prepared by the store.

The group was having fun, Zhan Qing followed Yang Jian, Yue Hua protected Gala closely, while Liu Zheng was responsible for taking the pile of gifts that Gala had harvested - the leader of the guard who was accustomed to dancing swords and guns, and the flower basket of porcelain rabbits given by the store, with a look of awkward expression.

But Zhan Qing said, be sure to take it with you.

Liu Zheng could only protect the delicate but not firm flower basket in front of him, so as not to be squeezed into a tilted shape.

Gala was scruples and looked around at the various lanterns.

Yang Jian walked beside him, and most of his eyes fell on Gala. He was not very interested in the lanterns, but the beauties under the lanterns were so pleasing to the eye, and even made people unable to take their eyes off their eyes.

The moon shadow and red glow moved under the colorful light. Half of Gala's face was covered. Occasionally, he turned to talk to him. His eyes were filled with smiles that were about to overflow, like the sunny and springy lake surface, with floating light leaping gold and radiant. The white jade beads were woven softly and drooping. As her head turned, the ruby ​​beads reflected on her cheeks, neat and charming.

Yang Jianhun didn't care about the crowded crowd, and even stood closer and closer to Gala in the bustling hustle.

Occasionally, someone squeezed over, and Yang Jian stretched out his arms to protect Gala's shoulder, as if the beauty could instantly enter his arms as long as he closed his arms. Unfortunately, Gala was too dishonest and was attracted by the lantern from time to time. He walked away for a few steps, but he didn't notice Yang Jian's close arms at all.

Chasing for a distance of one and a half feet is something that Yang Jian has never experienced before.

Near the intersection of Zhuque Chang Street and Changping Street, Zhan Qing's whispered report only brought back Yang Jian's thoughts.

"Your Highness, Yuwen Hu is indeed here, right there."

Yang Jian looked over as he pointed and saw that the restaurant Penglai Chunlin in the corner of the street was full of guests. The windows of the private room on the corner of the second floor were open, and the figures inside were uneven. The most conspicuous one was the powerful Zuo Xiang Yuwen Shu.

Next to Yuwen Shu, the second son, Yuwenji's son-in-law Li Bing, sat in turn. Next to it was a screen, and probably behind the screen was a female family.

"Yuwen Jian is indeed not here. He must have rushed down the palace." Zhan Qing whispered, "Are we going here now?"

"No hurry." Yang Jian shook his head, "Go to see if the old fox can calm down after strolling this street."

Zhan Qing hesitated, "The Yuwen family must have seen Your Highness. I'm afraid there are too many people tonight..."

"He still dares to attack me on Zhuque Long Street?" Yang Jian's tone had an unquestionable majesty, "I was worried that he would not show off his strength and assassinate him in the street, but he would do what he wanted."

The Yuwen family can raise family slaves and have something to do with some shameful killers. Is Jianzhang Palace a vegetarian?

Yang Jian was not afraid of Yingzuo's army and happily rushed to the tiger's den. How could he be afraid of Yuwen Shu's provocative means?

He is even more looking forward to it when he fights with his skills and swords.

Zhan Qing no longer spoke, but was more careful and cautious.

Gala focused on lanterns, and in the bustling and noisy, he couldn't hear the whispers, and he didn't realize it, so he continued to enjoy the lanterns.

Yang Jian was very patient with him, his mind sometimes on Gala, sometimes on Zhuque Street, and sometimes flew to Yuwen Mansion. Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival is the easiest time to make trouble while taking advantage of the chaos. Yuwen Hu sat in the mansion in previous years, but this time he came to Penglaichun to cover up the obvious. I guess he was pressing him step by step and finally lost his patience.

So very good.

It would be better for the big fish to fall into the trap tonight, so as not to make a fuss about it by using other means.

Just as he was thinking, suddenly a light shook before his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he saw Gala picking up the lanterns and looking at him with a smile.

"A gift I just won, made by the best lantern master in Beijing. Is it good to look?" She laughed sweetly, raised her head and smiled under the light, and her eyes shone straight into Yang Jian's heart.

He glanced out of the corner of his eyes and saw clearly that it was a fish-shaped lantern.

Unlike ordinary paper paste or thick glass for outlines, this fish-shaped lamp is made of extremely thin glass sheets. The head and tail are exquisite and lifelike. The fish scales in the middle are round and transparent. When you wear silver thread, you will see the candlelight inside, and you will look like a red carp.

Yang Jian looked at Gala with a bright look, "The whole capital is the best."

In Penglai Spring, Yuwen Shu sat upright by the window, and a pot of tea was already drunk.

He was over 50 years old and was not tall. He looked rather clean and beautiful. His eyes were particularly sharp. He seemed to be sharp and sharp. He could see the things opposite him by squinting his eyes. He struggled all his life in the court, and he monopolized the power to control the Chaotong for several years. His majesty was not affected by his short figure and thin description, but instead seemed short and concise.

He rarely drinks tea like this, which shows that he is uneasy at this time.

The second son Yuwen Ji just lifted the curtain from outside. Seeing this, his eyebrows became even more worried.

Yuwen Shu had already spoken, “How?”

"He really arranged someone to secretly search Penglaichun. We came over and all of us parked in the remote alley behind. After they sent people to search, they entered the restaurant again." Yuwen Ji said.

"Tell someone to try to stop it, be sure to do your best. Remember - this is the last chance. Yang Jian must believe that Nuqi has been taken to this restaurant by our carriage, waiting for an opportunity to escape. Do your best to stop them from searching. Even if there is a conflict and offend people, the more serious the trouble, the better."

The Nuqi he mentioned was the big fish that Yang Jian had been fishing for a long time.

Nuqi is the cousin of Beiliang Yingzuo. He secretly interacted with the Yuwen family. This time he entered the capital, but Yang Jian's people showed his traces and touched the Yuwen family. This sneaky nobleman from Beiliang is considered a proof that the Yuwen family is in love with the enemy. Yang Jian is determined to win. Yuwen family is reluctant to let him fall into Yang Jian's palm. The two sides hid for a long time, but Nuqi was still trapped in Yuwen's family and could not escape the iron wall set by Yang Jian.

Yang Jian took Yuwen Jian as the target and his offensive became more and more fierce. He was about to break up with Yuwen Shu and rush into Yuwen Mansion for search.

Yuwen Shu couldn't calm down and wanted to take advantage of the turmoil of the lantern festival to secretly visit Chen Cang.

Yuwen Ji was in Yuwen's mansion and knew Yang Jian's strict arrangements on the periphery. He walked around and hurriedly grabbed the tea and moistened his throat. "Son understand. Who... hasn't he come yet?"

"I went over to see the lanterns, I don't know what I can do!"

"The float is ready, he..."

"Try to push it, wait until Yang Jian enters here before making arrangements." Yuwen Shu gave instructions and looked out the window. Through the numerous figures, he finally saw the people who were almost submerged by the crowd. Yang Jian's black clothes were not conspicuous, but the beautiful cloak next to him was dazzling. Yuwen Shu had such a sophisticated look. He saw it from afar, looked around and saw Yang Jian and Zhan Qing.

They have begun to walk back.

Yuwen Shu breathed a little relieved - the float would have to come in half an hour, and he didn't want Yang Jian to come too late.

Looking through the window, the people walked slowly and enjoyed the lanterns on the side of the road back. Because the eaves and windows blocked their sight, they appeared and disappeared from time to time. Yuwen Shu cursed Yang Jian eight hundred times in his heart. I wonder why such a cold and hard-working person suddenly had the heart to enjoy the lanterns.

After suppressing the anger for two sticks of incense, I saw Yang Jian coming late.

Under the lanterns all over the street, the entrance of Penglaichun was as bright as daylight. Yang Jian's expression was never softer than before, which made Yuwen Shu have an illusion, as if Yang Jian came to Penglaichun tonight to really enjoy the lanterns with the unknown girl next to him, rather than fighting desperately with him.

Yuwenji and Yuwen Shu looked at each other, waved to Li Bing, and left the private room together.

But after a moment, he met Yang Jian unexpectedly in the corridor.

"Greetings to Your Highness!" The two of them walked from a distance, as if they were about to enter the private room. When they saw Yang Jian, they saluted together.

Yang Jian paused a little, walked up with a staircase, and his body was as usual cold and majestic as he was.

"Mr. Yuwen is here to enjoy the lanterns, too?" He was a little surprised.

"My father has been fond of fun in the past two years and thinks the mansion is boring, so he comes to enjoy it." Yu Wenji is respectful.

"Yuwen Hu is here, so you can see him." Yang Jian was like a stream of good deeds.

Yuwenji immediately raised the curtain and bowed to Yang Jian to come inside. Yuwen Shu was listening to the movement and was slowly getting up. After Yang Jian entered the door, he bowed with a smile and asked him to take his seat.

Of course Yang Jian would not take the seat, but he was the left prime minister of the dynasty in front of him, so he still needed to be a little polite and could not help but greet him.

Behind him, Zhan Qing followed in and signaled Liu Zheng to stay outside, while Gala and Yue Hua followed in.

At the beginning of the meeting, Gala saw Li Bing following Yuwen Ji. After being surprised, he lowered his eyes indifferently and walked in.

Li Bing was not as calm as her. He recognized Gala's figure and Gala's eyes, so even though Gala's red veil covered her face, she still quickly recognized her. The last time I met at Luantai Temple was still in front of me, because Yang Jian kept Jianzhang Palace strictly, he could not find out the inside story, and he was confused for two months, but still couldn't understand the key points.

Who knew that today, Gala would appear next to Yang Jian again?

Her dress was already different from the innocent and elegant girl in Huainan. The white jade tassels and rubies on her head were polished round and soft, with a precious texture and must be valuable. The red gauze on her face, the exquisite dress on her body, and the close protection of the female guards, all of which can be seen.

The red cloak covered the gauze and was stained with the light of the lanterns in the corridor, which was extremely graceful.
