Compared with the faith in Liaodong, what is a mere saint?

"Cousin, what is this? You look confused.?"

"This is rice cake made from cooked glutinous rice. It can be used as a snack. One stick per person. Don't eat too much, otherwise you won't be able to finish it later!"

Li Shouxi paid, and the four girls strolled around and bought things.

And because Zhao Linger and A Tuoya were dressed as women and paired up, Li Shouxi seemed like an extra person who was just there to pay.

Zhao Linger noticed this, but ignored it and did not specifically remind her.

This also made Li Shouxi smile helplessly.

This was revenge for his previous surprise attack on Atoya.

The four girls were like curious babies in the market. They took away anything they liked and left Li Shouxi behind to pay the bill. It was obvious that they were deliberately ignoring him.

In just a short while, the four girls were covered with a variety of small things.

The hairpin on the head, the revolving lantern windmill in the hand, and the embroidered bag on the waist

"Hehe, Your Majesty is so free here!"

With a sweet laugh, Yan Shisanniang followed after learning that Li Shouxi had left with Atoya, who was disguised as a man.

At the same time, she also saw the scene where Li Shouxi was ignored while paying in the back, which made Yan Shisan Niang sigh at Li Shouxi's greed, and now he finally reaped the fruits of his own labor.

"Does Mr. Yan have time to wander around?"

“Of course, I saw that the prince was a little lonely, so I wanted to walk with him.

But what happened tonight was something I, Fan Lou, neglected."

"It's alright, Mr. Yan, do you think that Japan is worthy of my personal visit?

This king previously thought that Yu'er was sent from Southern Xinjiang. From the tone of her voice, she should be from the grassland royal court, but it is not certain. This king needs to investigate further!"

"Your Highness has long known that Yu'er is a spy? An assassin?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Shisan Niang immediately realized that something was unusual today.

Yes, Li Shouxi’s sudden visit was too much of a coincidence.

The most important thing is that Yu'er's identity is completely flawless. How did Prince Yan's Mansion know that Yu'er is an assassin?

"Hehehe"

Li Shouxi did not answer, and Yan Shisanniang also knew that she had gone too far.

With the addition of Yan Shisanniang, the number naturally became three pairs, which made Zhao Linger even more resentful of Li Shouxi's ability to attract other women.

"By the way, Sister Jiang'er rarely comes out, and she is not favored by the prince. I will go and chat with Sister Ling'er!"

After saying that, Yan Shisan Niang left Li Shouxi and exchanged places with Jiang Ni.

Jiang Ni, who was originally in a carefree state, suddenly became speechless, like a student seeing his teacher, not even daring to raise his head.

It’s not that Jiang Ni is afraid, but the distance between them is too far.

"Why? Are you afraid of me?"

"'Jiang Ni doesn't dare, but..."

"Okay, I know the reason. Go and be with Ling'er. I don't need anyone here!"

Li Shouxi also knew that the relationship between him and Jiang Ni was more like that of a superior and a subordinate.

Even though Jiang Ni was one of the princesses who were married off to foreign countries, she remained a virgin after all. In addition, Li Shouxi's expectations of her were similar to the training of a death warrior.

This also made Jiang Ni feel constrained in front of Li Shouxi, just like she was in front of the King of Beiliang in the Beiliang Palace.

But after hearing Li Shouxi's order to drive her away, Jiang Ni did not leave immediately.

Because deep in her heart, she infinitely hopes to be with Li Shouxi. Although she doesn't have a childhood sweetheart like the Prince of Beiliang, a domineering president falling from the sky is also the best way to capture the hearts of girls.

"My lord!"

The moment Jiang Ni was held in Li Shouxi's arms, she suddenly felt her whole body stiffen and a feeling of suffocation surged into her heart.

Especially the familiar yet strange smell, which made her intoxicated like a century-old wine. "You and I are husband and wife, not subordinates.

I didn’t touch you because you are too young, and you still have a bright future. You can break through to the ninth level before you turn eighteen.

In this world, the strong are respected, and this is an eternal truth."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Shouxi held Jiang Ni in his arms while following the other girls to pay the bill. In a short time, the copper coin bag he had prepared around his waist was empty.

Even Jiang Ni had a piece of jewelry and a toy that looked very novel.

"There's a temple fair ahead, it'll be even more lively in the evening!"

It used to be a busy central street, but now it’s just a street.

But the temple fair is different. It is the prayer square of Baiyun Temple. Without the fortune-telling stalls during the day, the temple fair is held in such a large space at this time, which is the real night market.

From a distance, it looked as if the fire had illuminated the sky red, so you can imagine how bustling it was inside.

Chapter 144: The Temple Fair Tower Releases the Marriage Lantern

"Husband, are there more people here than outside?"

Once you step into the gate of the temple fair, the inside and outside are completely different. Although it is lively outside, it is just the scenery on both sides. The temple fair is specially prepared for this kind of night market.

And with experts hosting the event, there is no need to worry about safety issues.

“This is a venue specially opened up for the temple fair, and both the space and time are just right.

During the day, it is used for fortune-telling and selling small items such as amulets. At night, it is used as a night market stall, providing a livelihood for many people.

Besides, there is an old Zen master here, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.

Therefore, the passenger flow at night is much greater than other places.”

While explaining, Li Shouxi had already led everyone in.

At the same time, Li Shouxi also saw the secret words left by the secret guards. The people here were basically elderly people in the market, and there were no deliberately added stalls.

Even Yan Shisan Niang and Atuya were extremely surprised when they saw the temple fair inside.

Because compared to usual times, the temple fair is much more lively at this time.

This is the power of rights.

"Cousin, what is that wooden tower in the center used for?"

In the center of the temple, stood a wooden cloud tower that looked to be more than ten feet tall, causing the 103 women to show their curiosity.

It looks like a pagoda, but also like something temporary.

“This is the Tower of Babel used for lion dance.

The northern lion dances on the tower, while the southern lion dances on the plum blossom poles. The northern lion dance mainly involves climbing towers, while the southern lion dances involve walking on plum blossom poles. This cloud tower will be used for the lion dance performance later.

Shaoqing has arranged a circus performance. Don't go too far, there are too many people here."

"Got it, husband!"

When Zhao Linger and others heard this, their eyes suddenly brightened.

Lion dance on the tower? Acrobatic troupe?

I didn't expect that Shaoqing arranged so many projects in such a short time.

Compared with the outside, the stalls here are more prosperous, with the latest stinky tofu, Xizhou Maren candy (chegao), Jiangnan desserts, and all kinds of acrobatics around, such as fire breathing, hammering chests, and face changing.

"Your Highness, this place brings together acrobatics from all over the world. It's even more lively than Chang'an City!"

"Of course, these are all people that I have invited from Jiangnan, and my purpose is to enrich their lives.

The black soil provides them with the foundation for survival, but there are also some spiritual needs that need to be met. Otherwise, why do you think your husband supports Fanlou?

It’s not that I like this kind of romantic place, but I know that I can’t prohibit it, so I can only restrict it and use it for my own benefit.”

At this time, Liaodong had just started to develop. It had the prosperity of Chang'an but without its high prices, so life in the early days was very good.

This is another reason why many street performers are willing to come to Liaodong to develop.

Everything is for a better life.

"Cousin, where are you looking!"

Following Shang Xiuxun's pointing, everyone saw a huge Kongming lantern slowly rising.

There were many red silks on the surface of the lanterns, which made the girls look puzzled and asked:

"Cousin, what do those red silks mean? Why are they hung?"

“That’s the marriage line!

One Kongming lantern can be used to hang a hundred pieces of red silk, or you can directly buy a Kongming lantern and hang only one marriage line. This means praying to the sky, similar to the marriage tree!

Let's go and hang up our own red silk."

When the girls heard this, their beautiful eyes lit up immediately. They didn't expect that there were prayer lanterns for praying to the sky here. No, they were marriage lanterns.

At this time, many young men and women were crowded in front of the vendors, some were writing their names on red silk, and some were waiting for their marriage lanterns to go up. When they saw Li Shouxi coming, their eyes lit up.

First, the women were stunningly beautiful, each of them was stunningly gorgeous; second, with three pairs of men and women joining in, I believe that soon we would be able to collect a hundred pieces of red silk.

"Boss, give me a marriage lantern!"

After saying that, Li Shouxi had already thrown out ten taels of silver, causing the young men and women present to instantly change from anticipation to envy and jealousy!

"Okay, sir, are you going to write it yourself, or..."

"We'll write it ourselves. Ling'er, who wants one?"

After saying this, Li Shouxi had already taken out six pieces from the blessed red silk - one for men and five for women. This made the vendor confused at first, thinking that Li Shouxi had taken the wrong ones, but the old man next to him pulled the boy back.

It was obvious at first glance that Atuoya and Zhao Linger were dressed as men, and the old man saw at first sight that Li Shouxi was the real man.

This kind of situation has happened before, but very few people are so romantic, let alone women living in harmony with each other.

"Sir, please come in!"

To avoid trouble, the old man invited Li Shouxi to the side next to the lantern, away from the young men and women in the crowd.

There are always some privileges for one person to book a lantern.

Shang Xiuxun directly snatched the silk ribbon from Li Shouxi's hand and distributed it to each of them. The girls took the silk ribbons without any resistance, but their faces turned slightly red.

No woman would remain indifferent to such a romantic and beautiful story.

Even Yan Shisan Niang smiled charmingly. She didn't expect that she would have such a romantic day.

For a moment, there was a hint of tenderness in the sight of the silk ribbon in Su's hand.

Li Shouxi wrote his name on the dry belt representing men, and Zhao Linger and the other girls also wrote their names on their red belts. Even the seemingly timid Jiang Ni was no exception, and she signed her name shyly and naturally and handed it to the old man.

After all, ribbons are not just stuck on randomly.

"This"

When the old man saw Li Shouxi's name, his body trembled violently and he looked at Li Shouxi in disbelief.

But Li Shouxi shook his head slightly, which made the old man immediately understand that Li Shouxi did not want to reveal his identity.

As for suspicion?

A man brings five stunning beauties to travel with him. Who else but him would have so many confidantes instead of concubines?

"Master, wait a moment!"

Knowing that this was Li Shouxi's marriage belt, the old man did not dare to be careless. He quickly wrapped the six pieces of silk together in the most neat way and hung them on the Kongming lantern respectfully.

"Ling'er, come and light the fire."

"It's my husband."

Looking at the Kongming lantern in front of her that held the thread of her destiny, Zhao Linger lit the oil inside, and at the same time, lit up a warmth in her heart.

The slowly rising Kongming lanterns also represent their prayers for good marriages.

Grow old together and stay together for life!
