I changed the previous article, and the previous chapter included a sentence. Pei Min and Wang Wei separated. Now I am modifying it, but there is no separation. There are his scenes. I ignored it all at once when I wrote it. Sorry.

************

Pei Min and his group returned to the place where they had previously stored their mounts and carriages and retrieved the carriages. Wang Wei and Zhao Yiying also came by carriages. They had a close relationship with Confucius Temple and directly parked the carriages in the backyard of Confucius Temple. The two carriages gathered all the way and headed straight to Qujiang.

Qujiang is the most iconic place in the Tang Dynasty. It is located in the southeast of Chang'an City, just one third of the acre, with attractions such as Qujiang Pond, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, Furong Garden, Ci'en Temple, etc.

Coming to Chang'an and not traveling to Qujiang is like not coming.

Whenever there are major festivals in Chang'an and when you want to gather together to celebrate, Qujiang is the only place to gather.

Not only the night tour of Qujiang during the Spring Festival, the Qujiang banquet on March 3rd, and the dragon boat racing on Dragon Boat Festival are all held in Qujiang.

Although there are many people in the temple fair, it is a difference compared to the night trip to Qujiang.

It was bustling with people, and at first glance, there were crowds of people, which was even more terrifying than a temple fair.

However, Qujiang is located in the southeast of Chang'an City, and the structural layout of Chang'an is dense in the north and sparse in the south. Most people live in the north and are also where the imperial palaces and governments are located. The southern yards are sparsely populated and the houses are not so dense.

The abortion was more than twice as high, but it didn't seem crowded.

As always, Pei Min sent the horses and carriages to a wealthy family.

The person's name, the shadow of the tree, and Pei Min's identity showed without hesitation, the other party was very happy to give convenience.

Before entering Qujiang, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba were already clapping and screaming.

"Look, look! What a tall and bright house there!"

Xiao Qi sat on Pei Min's shoulder as always, and Xiao Ba was the same, sitting high on Li Bai's shoulder, and they could see the farthest.

At this moment, it became a Qujiang River, like daylight, with nearly a million lanterns spreading all over the Qujiang River.

It is winter now, and the climate in the northwest is particularly dry and cold, but when it is close to Qujiang, it is like entering a greenhouse.

The heat emitted by millions of lanterns even defeated the cold climate.

Xiaoqi and Xiaoba refer to not the house as they saw, but the lantern tree.

A hundred years ago, there was a rich man in Chang'an named Zheng Fengchi. His family was countless. His residences were everywhere, and he had a lot of contact with the powerful and powerful. He was so rich that Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan condescends to be friends with him. He also praised Emperor Gaozu of Tang that every tree hangs silk on Zhongnan Mountain, and the mountain trees were full, and there were still silk at home.

In order to show off his wealth, Zheng Fengchi once built a giant lantern tree made of 6 zhang high and more than tens of thousands of lanterns on Qujiang on the day of the Spring Festival, which made it famous in the capital.

Since then, no one has ever done such a thing. But at this point, the wealthy people in Chang'an compete with their flowers and trees to increase the joy of the festival, forming an unwritten rule.

Xiaoqi and Xiaoba saw the lamp tree built by the Chang'an merchants.

"Let's go there!" Li Chiying looked excited. In her later years, she was in Furong Garden and looked at the lively Qujiang River from afar. Now she can see it with her own eyes. She can't stand it and can't help but urge it.

"Okay!" Pei Min smiled and walked towards the light tree first.

Before the lamp tree was reached, there was a roar of gongs and drums in front of them. In the crowd, a team of stilts appeared, including lions, dragons, Guanyin Bodhisattvas, golden boys and jade girls, and the two generals of Hum and Ha... Almost all the characters in folk legends were included. The most exciting thing was that they all came swaying on stilts.

"Look at this first, look at this first! The lamp tree won't run away!"

The sudden show aroused Li Chiying's interest and looked at Pei Min with some expectations.

"Okay, okay!" Pei Min and Li Bai and Wang Zhongsi acted as pioneers again, hugging Pei's mother, Jiao Chen, Li Chiying, Zhao Yiying, and Wang Wei to the front.

The Lantern Festival dragon lantern is also a major feature of the Shangyuan Festival.

The dragon lantern, also known as the "dragon dance", is a dragon dance that is about ten feet long and is danced by dozens of people.

One person fought with a hydrangea in front of him, and all the others raised the dragons, performing actions such as "two dragons playing with pearls", "two dragons coming out of the water", "fire dragons soaring", and "the dragons scrambling the sea", which was extremely exciting.

Except for Xiaoqi and Xiaoba, most of them have seen dragon lantern playing, but their situations are different and they feel very different.

Even the virtuous and graceful mother Pei was gradually infected by the atmosphere and applauded!

Amid the cheers all over the sky, these dragon lantern dance teams are even more capable.

At this time, the crowd suddenly felt crowded and pushed, with screams of exclamation, and the people behind them rushed forward.

Pei Min's reaction was extremely quick!

He turned around at the first time, stole the horse, held Xiaoqi on his shoulder with one hand, hugged Li Chiying with the other hand, and used his body as a wall cushion to block Pei's mother and Jiaochen, stabilizing their bodies.

Wang Zhongsi and Li Bai were also in danger at this critical moment.

Wang Zhongsi supported his mother Wang and Wang Wei respectively, while Li Bai blocked Zhao Yiying with his body.

The crowded suddenly came, and Wang Xiaobai and the guards behind had no time to deal with it.

When things happen, they are dealing with them very quickly.

A wall of people was erected to stabilize the turbulent crowd.

Li Chiying was pushed inexplicably. Seeing that the disaster was coming, Pei Min suddenly rescued her in time. She was hugged by Pei Min and touched his broad and solid chest. She was both surprised and happy. In an instant, her body was soft and almost fainted.

Pei Min was about to let go of Li Chiying, but suddenly felt a pulling force coming from his waist, and someone actually took advantage of the chaos to steal his things.

Pei Min hurriedly let go of Li Chiying and touched her waist. Her wallet was still there, but the jade pendant disappeared.

Jade has a special status in the history of Chinese civilization. The "Five Classics General Meanings" says that jade is "warm and lustful, similar to wisdom; sharp but not harm, similar to benevolence; suppressed but indomitable, similar to righteousness; flaws inside must be seen outside, similar to faith; hanging like falling, similar to ritual." Saint Confucius also said, "The beauty of jade is like the virtue of a gentleman." He believes that jade has the qualities of a gentleman such as benevolence, wisdom, righteousness, etiquette, music, loyalty, faith, heaven, earth, virtue, and Tao.

For some reason, there is an old saying that "a gentleman will not get rid of his body without reason."

The jade that Pei Min brought was passed down by his father. It is not a precious jade, but it is extremely meaningful.

If the wallet is lost, it will be lost.

The jade pendant is really impossible to lose.

His eyes swept through the crowd and immediately saw a figure running towards the dragon dance team.

Without any hesitation, he clamped Xiaoqi to his wrist with one hand, and took out the Qinhuang sword with the other hand, and alluded to the man with a scabbard. The Qinhuang sword turned into a white sword, jumping straight into the thief's heart, and shouted at the same time: "You protect it on the spot, the thief can't run away!"

Such a series of reactions only took a moment.

Completed in one go!

The thief had not yet run away to let the scabbard fall to the ground.

He stood up and wanted to escape, and the bright white sword had already pressed against his shoulders.

The thief suddenly turned around, knelt in front of Pei Min, and cried, "Give me your life, hero, please spare me, young, my mother is seriously ill at home, and she is confused for a moment. She dares not, and she will never dare again..." He held the jade pendant in both hands, held it high, and she still shed tears.

Pei Min shouted without any affection: "Filial piety is definitely not an excuse to be a thief!"
