Chapter 253 Shangsi Festival

Just after dawn, Li Xi'er was woken up by the people around her while she was still sleeping, "Linglong, Linglong, wake up! It's almost too late!"

"Huh? Is it dawn yet? You put Miaomiao on first, Sanmao, I want to sleep again!"

The woman stared and muttered in confusion, saying words that he couldn't understand!
exquisite?

Li Xi'er suddenly opened her eyes wide and blinked. In front of her eyes was the handsome facial features that were magnified several times!

Why did she get into his arms and fall asleep? He closed his eyes and rubbed his sleepy eyes vigorously, "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Fortunately it's her, others won't dare to look around and commit a crime!

The man looked at her angrily!
"Uh...hehe, that was a dream I had!"

She could feel the warm breath of his body, but the man's eyes seemed to penetrate her mind to see what she was thinking.
Li Xi'er felt mitotic in her heart. Why didn't he leave early this morning?
"Senior Brother Ares, what time is it? Why haven't you gone to court yet?"

She arched her body, kept a distance from him, turned her head to one side, and felt a little uneasy.

"Today Mu Xiu, senior brother wants to take you out of the house for a walk!"

She wasn't talking nonsense, was she?

"What? Don't want to go?"

"Who said that? Go, of course I will go! This place will drive people crazy!"

"Haha! In that case, let's get up and freshen up quickly!"

"it is good!"

Li Xi'er turned over, and without Luo Zhi'er's fat body, she quickly put on her coat, forgot about the mistake just now, and skipped happily into the bathroom to wash up!

After freshening up and having breakfast, the two of them got into the carriage and left the house together.

Li Xier's eyes were attracted by the street scene outside the curtains.

The entire city is built with large and small stones, and the roofs are made of wood and covered with golden glazed tiles, forming a castle-style building.

The towers overlap, the palaces are towering, and they are majestic. They have the potential to appear from the sky and penetrate the sky.

The solid and thick granite walls of the house, the splendid golden roof, and the interconnected building shapes all reflect the different characteristics of Fenglan Country!
People are coming and going on the street. The people live and work in peace and contentment and are very polite. When they meet each other, the women squat down and the men hold fists in greeting.

Scholars have the etiquette of scholars, and officials have the etiquette of officials. They all abide by order and do not make random noises. It is worthy of being the imperial capital of Fenglan Kingdom, at the feet of the emperor.

Seeing the sign of the Ares Palace carriage, they all moved out of the way. The women's faces turned red and they looked expectantly at the man in the carriage!

Fortunately, the curtains of his carriage allow one to see outside from the inside, but not inside from the outside. They are made of a special material to prevent privacy from being leaked!
"Senior Brother Ares, you are quite a nice person. You know that I am almost exhausted in the house, so take me out for a walk!"

Feng Qingcheng gave a breathtaking smile and said, "I know you've been suppressed in the house. I'm sorry. I've been a little busy lately, and you haven't recovered yet, so..."

"You are being polite, but from what I see, no one will accompany you for a walk. You see, those women are so nervous when they see you, but I won't do that!"

cut! I'm used to being alone, and I still make so many excuses!

Feng Qingcheng choked to death and suddenly burst into laughter. She hadn't been so happy for a long time!

Today coincides with the Shangsi Festival, and people go to the waterside to bathe and drink holy water in order to remove the stains and odors of the past and pray for health and peace.

She finally woke up, and Feng Qingcheng had the idea of ​​taking Li Xi'er there to ward off evil spirits.

There are many people on the street selling special snacks made of five-color glutinous rice, black rice, and eggs.

The staple food they eat in the morning is black rice and shepherd's purse egg custard. Along the way, there were many people outing and enjoying flowers. Everyone wore clean clothes and few of them had patches on them.

There was a smile on his face and his eyes were full of hope!
I heard that this was not the case a few years ago. It seems that the people of Fenglan Country are living well under the governance of the current monarch.

At least things are good now. They can all live and work in peace and contentment, and they are happier than they were in Dongli Kingdom.

Thinking of the two completely different living conditions between the days she lived in Taoyuan Town and what she saw here.

Most of the people in Zhaoli Village in Taoyuan Town have sad faces, or are worried about their survival. Maybe this is the reason why the emperor is at his feet!

Of course she also knew that perhaps the biggest reason was that Feng Qingcheng, the god of war general, gave them a sufficient sense of security.

The carriage drove for more than half an hour, and they arrived at the bathing place, which was a beautiful stream in the countryside. The surrounding ground was paved with large flat stones. The bathing place was in a pool made of big stones!
Everyone was queuing up in an orderly manner. When they got there, they didn't really take a bath. They just used a bamboo tube to scoop some water and wet their clothes.

There were many children playing by the stream not far away, catching small fish and shrimps, and flying kites on the grass!
In order not to cause a sensation, Feng Qingcheng wore ordinary clothes and a mask on her face, while Li Xier wore an ordinary outfit and a curtain hat.

The two got off the carriage and lined up in a long line according to the rules. When they arrived, Feng Qingcheng touched her clothes personally, mumbling something to her, and carefully checked to see if there were any areas that were not touched.

"Hey, you two are newlyweds, right? You are a lucky girl. See how much your husband-in-law cares about you, as if he is afraid that something will happen to you!"

Later, her mother-in-law joked, and Li Xier quickly said, "Mother-in-law, no."

"Hey, why are you so shy? As a couple, isn't it normal for you to care for me and for me to care for you?"

"Could it be that you...are not a couple?" His eyes wandered over them. One was wearing a mask and the other was wearing a hoodie. The meaning in these eyes changed again!
"Huh? No, no..." The explanation is unclear!
Feng Qingcheng didn't stop what she was doing and suddenly said, "Yes!"

"That's what I said! Haha!"

Li Xi'er looked at his serious look, and her face turned a little unnaturally red.

After touching the hem of their clothes, the two of them came out. Li Xi'er's clear voice came out from the hat and veil, "Why did you say that just now?"

"Don't you also see that if you don't say that, won't your reputation be ruined?"

Whoever asked him to wet her would be seen as intimate in the eyes of others!
"But...hey, forget it, forget it! They can't see what I look like anyway!"

She didn't know how to do it just now, so he helped her do it and she just let him do it, which caused this misunderstanding!
Feng Qingcheng chuckled, "Haha, that's not the right way to think about it!" He pulled her to the side of the sacrificial place.

The place was also filled with crowds, and there were cheers and cheers. I looked through the gaps in the crowd and saw that there were people wearing fancy clothes performing sacrificial performances!

The wizard stood in the center, muttered something in his mouth, and sprayed a mouthful of talisman water as if to summon something?
"What is he doing?"

Li Xi'er said.

"Rejuvenate the spirit!"

"For whom?"

"Someone who has passed away!"

Feng Qingcheng stared at her intently, and Li Xier felt that the wizard was also looking at her. She felt uncomfortable for a moment, feeling like suffocated and exhausted!
With eyes like thunder and lightning, the wizard suddenly shouted loudly and strode towards her. Li Xier tried to escape, but Feng Qingcheng held her hand tightly.

The wizard approached and just gave her a bowl of crystal clear water. Feng Qingcheng motioned for her to drink it!
This is what he said about drinking holy water!

Li Xi'er herself came from modern times and didn't believe in these ghost theories. When she thought about her situation, she suddenly became suspicious!

Reluctantly, she drank it in one gulp.

No different than other water.

She didn't know that this sacrifice was performed by a wizard that Feng Qingcheng paid a lot of money to summon her soul.
