Act 43 Shopping Festival

"By the way, this day should be the Tianxun Festival tomorrow. The markets in Chang'an will be discounted. My sister and I can go around the city and order some costumes for performances."

This set of things from the anchor is also brand new to Yu Xuanji, the former courtesan. Therefore, she can't give any comments on the arrangement of the song, but she can provide advice to the team from other aspects.

"Tian Bao Festival? What kind of festival is this?" As a modern person, Shining is very unfamiliar with this word.

"Hey? I'm afraid my life is not going to be confused? This festival is celebrated every June and Saturday."

Shin Shin knew that he had lost his mouth, so he hurriedly stretched out his slender jade and pointed at his temples, frowned and said, "Oh, oh~ On the way back to Chang'an from Hanzhong, I suffered some injuries on my head. I still had a slight pain these days. Sometimes, I can't remember some things at once, so don't blame me."

"Hi! It was my sister who took good care of her and the shaft broke, and she saw you fall to the ground. Whether it was this festival every year, I never told you the allusions. Let's talk about them together today."

After Yu Xuanji said this, Sisi and A Diao also became interested.

One is an amnesia who traveled through time, and the other is a visitor from Tubo. They didn't know much about the Central Plains Festival and were waiting for Yu Xuanji's explanation.

"According to the principles of the Book of Changes, nine is yang and six is ​​yin. Therefore, nine is Double Ninth and six is ​​Double Ninth. Double Ninth symbolizes prosperity, prosperity and decline, so you should worship high places and respect the elderly. The heavy Yin symbolizes the growth of all things and the prosperity is still in full swing, and the heavens are blessed. In order to thank God for the generous gifts, merchants will give in to the sale of profits on this day. On this day, there will usually be cars and horses like dragons, merchants all over the alleys, and shops in the market are limited to the windows..."

Oh ~ Shanshan understands this. The so-called six-six-fold Yin is the shopping festival. Isn’t this the same as Double Eleven? Wait, in the "Yi" Yin line is written in "Yi" and two short horizontal lines, long horizontal lines record nine, and two short horizontal lines (eleven) record six... After a long time, six and Double Eleven, it is the same festival!

"I really want to hear about such a festival. Let me think about it... Shopping cart... Alas~", Sisi seemed to remember something, but there was a strange force fighting against her memory, which made her suddenly have a headache.

"Shopping cart, Miss Sisi is so professional. The wealthy families drive Chinese cars to the market this day. First, they show off their identity, and second, they can pretend!"

Show off, can you pretend? Although there are two meanings in this era, they can also be the same in later generations. However, Shanshan did not worry about this. She has not enjoyed the pleasure of shopping for a long time. "Okay, then I will accompany my sister tomorrow. Should we rent a shopping cart as well?"

Yu Xuanji smiled and said, "Xianyiguan hides in Zhongnan, far away from the human world, where can I rent a car? However, when we return from shopping, we can rent a car in Chang'an."

"Okay!" Shanshan pulled Sisi back to the room. The two of them started to make a list and talk about trendy goods. They locked them in the room for a day, looking like they were on the battlefield on Double Eleven.

Early the next morning, Shanshan got up and urged her sister to go out. After Lu Qiao served Yu Xuanji to wash up, she also wanted to go to the market, but Xuanji persuaded her to leave.

"Luqiao, you should help Sisi to make some dictionary on the matters in the observation period. A Diao is too young, so it would be nice to not cause trouble and wouldn't help at all. Besides, there are fewer people going there, and when we come back, the shopping cart space will be larger. You know."

Lu Qiao could only understand that she obediently let her beside her, and looked pitifully at the back of the Yu sisters and disappeared from the door of the viewing door.

The two sisters "pretend to be lost" while crossing the mountains. After passing the place where they fought with the dogs a few days ago, they hoped to find King Ali's jade pendant. However, the scene was indeed discovered by officers and soldiers. After cleaning, there was no dog corpse left.

The two sisters searched in the grass for a while, but there was no jade pendant left behind.

So they had to give up and walked forward for a while. Sure enough, they encountered a cross-examination by the officers and soldiers, and asked in detail why they passed by here and where they had been to the next few days ago.

The calmness of both sisters showed the excitement of the market to the extreme, perfectly avoiding all problems, and constantly talking about the content they planned to purchase.

I knew that the school led by the leader had issued an official authority and ordered them to explain their whereabouts for several days.

Then Shanshan replied pitifully with big watery eyes, "We are all spectators in Xianyi Temple. We have never had to go out to observe these days. We have witnessed people. These days, the great monks from Ximing Temple have come to Xiwenxi, the young leader of the Shatuo tribe, and two Suzhou scholars... You can ask them if the number of people was the same when they visited the observation."

Shanshan did not mention Mr. Tang San, that must be a pseudonym, and no one would buy it if he said it. However, Xi Wen and Zhu Xie Yisheng's names have already lived in a good position, especially in the army, where both warrior families are famous. In addition, Xianyiguan is a princess and a royal property, so these big-headed soldiers did not have much difficulty, so they let them go.

"It's so dangerous!" Shanshan patted her chest and said with lingering fear, "Fortunately we didn't come here to look for the jade pendant a few days ago. Otherwise, once someone discovered it, it would be impossible to explain clearly."

"But that jade pendant was lost after all." Yu Xuanji sighed.

"Oh~ It may not be possible. Both the Tubo people and the Tang army should be able to distinguish the value of this jade pendant. As long as the officers and soldiers picked up the jade pendant, it must be stored in the Ministry of Rites or the Honglu Temple. It will never be lost."

"Hey, Ruoyu pendant was really sent to that kind of place. I'm afraid it will never flow back to Xiao Siyuan's hands."

"It is better to have hope than not. During the New Music Conference of the World, officials from both departments will attend, so we can explore first." Shanshan is obviously much more optimistic than her sister.

Yu Xuanji seemed to be slightly infected under this series of encouragement, and smiled and said, "Okay, I can only take one step at a time."

The two sisters spent half a day and finally got out of Zhongnan Mountain, rented the largest carriage in Zhengyi County, and started a happy journey to shop.

At this time, Chang'an City was already crowded with traffic. The two girls from the mountains got up early and had to go to the evening market.

Fortunately, Yu Xuanji has known the time-honored stores in Chang'an City. In the past few years, she was also the undisputed VIP in those trendy stores.

Although she is no longer the courtesan of Pingkangli, because of her fame and influence, there are still shops who are willing to give her special treatment.
