Uncle can tolerate it, but aunt can't tolerate it
Since traveling to this era, Liu Buqi has hardly ever gone out at night.
Although I know that the ancient city must have a unique atmosphere at night, Yanjing, where I have lived the longest, is itself a military town.
Once night falls, there is almost no entertainment suitable for women except in brothels.
The night market in Taiyue City is well-known, and its prosperity is no less than that of the East and West Markets during the day!
Liu Buqi had long wanted to see it, but due to being entangled in mundane affairs, he had no chance to go out at all.
Just when I was teasing Yue Lingxi, I happened to think of taking the opportunity to go out for a walk.
Of course, the more important purpose is to spread the news of his return to Beijing, so strolling around the night market is not too deliberate!
After all, after he suddenly left Beijing, Yue Lingxi told the public that he had fallen ill and was bedridden.
These days, apart from a few prominent figures in the capital, no one knew that she had left Taiyue City and completed a shocking change in Youzhou!
…
The four people who came out of the Anguo Marquis Mansion came to the East and West Markets in high spirits.
Although it is not as crowded as during the day, the two cities under the bright lights at night make Liu Buqi feel like he is in a dream!
Not to mention the lanterns hung by street vendors, each with its own unique features and various shapes.
Just the fact that every few dozen meters along the street, there would be a huge Kongming lantern pulled by a rope and released into the air, serving as a "street light" already made Liu Buqi feel as if he was in another world!
In the past, I was alone and stared at the neon lights on the street.
Today, I have my beloved one and loyal subordinates by my side. The change in my life circumstances is really sigh-worthy!
Zhang Xiruo looked around at the place they were heading in with a shifty look in her eyes, and kept introducing to Bai Jinjing what fun and delicious things there were in each place.
Occasionally, he would "slip" and disappear, and after a while he would come back with cakes, snacks or novel gadgets bought from the roadside, and secretly put them into Bai Jinjing's hands like presenting a treasure.
In the capital, he served as Yue Lingxi's close bodyguard and servant. He had been to Taiyue City's night market many times and was the most familiar with it among the four people.
Naturally, their "little tricks" could not be hidden from Liu Buqi and Yue Lingxi who were walking in front.
Liu Buqi looked back from time to time, complaining in a sarcastic tone that her husband was unromantic and would never give her anything!
Bai Jinjing and Yue Lingxi blushed, which was a normal reaction for Bai Jinjing when being teased!
As for Yue Lingxi?
He was staring at Zhang Xiruo, who was jumping up and down, with a spitting glare. "Damn it, don't you know that all the money is on you? Why don't you give me some!"
While enjoying the rare leisure time, Liu Buqi unconsciously took the arm of the person next to him.
But she overlooked a very important issue, in order to better publicize the news of her return to Beijing.
She was still dressed as "Invincible Oriental" as always, and under the dim light, it was really hard to tell whether she was a man or a woman!
Then, a hypocritical scholar appeared out of nowhere.
How dare you open your mouth about your sexual habits and profess them in broad daylight! If you keep silent, it will be unsightly and indecent!
Liu Buqi and Yue Lingxi were somewhat stunned to be stuck in the middle of the road and were scolded. It was really confusing!
The matter came to an end only when someone recognized that it was Marquis Anguo and his wife strolling around the night market, and they quickly ran out and forcibly pulled the scholar back!
After walking two more streets, Liu Buqi finally realized that the man mistook her for a man.
My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can't! What's more, today I have to compete with the most beautiful lady in Taiyue!
Under the astonished gazes of Zhang Xiruo, Bai Jinjing and the surrounding visitors.
Liu Buqi immediately lost his temper, put his hands on his hips, deliberately thrust out his chest, and shouted to the back: "You can tell that I'm a man with that eye!"
Yue Lingxi stared blankly at Liu Buqi who was defeating Zhang Fei in front of him, and couldn't suppress his laughter anymore!
Liu Buqi, who is becoming more and more intelligent, is still the silly girl who speaks in "country slang" after all! Her hearty laughter contains a different kind of ease!
Liu Buqi "retaliated" by hugging the arm that was "kidnapped" in his arms tightly with both hands, looking around arrogantly, as if he was showing off and declaring his sovereignty.
Yue Lingxi pulled out her arm with a little effort, and then the "free" hand passed over the slender waist of the person next to her and pulled her over tightly!
In this protected "harbor", Liu Buqi breathed a sigh of relief. His nerves, which had been highly tense these days, finally relaxed!
In addition to the stormy waves and intrigues, there should also be sweet love and the ordinary life that goes on according to the rules. Is this what life is?
…
The four people have walked out of the East and West Markets and arrived at the Xuanwu Lake, which is the center of the entire night market and also the "gold-selling lake" of Taiyue City!
A winding lake-viewing boardwalk is built along the lake. The shops along the lake are brightly lit inside and outside, and from time to time you can hear the coquettish voices of women trying to attract business!
Bai Jinjing blushed when she heard these "dirty words" and unconsciously moved closer to Zhang Xiruo. When she thought that he had probably been to these places many times in recent days, she glared at him fiercely!
The unromantic Zhang Xiruo was still looking around, while the "well-informed" Liu Buqi was already ready to step into this land of fireworks!
But Yue Lingxi, with a teasing expression on his face, grabbed him and pulled him back! This was a place where men in the capital went to have fun, so it was definitely not suitable to bring this "bold" and silly girl there!
Led by Yue Lingxi, the four of them strolled along the lakeside. From time to time, there would be brightly lit and exquisitely carved pleasure boats passing by in the lake.
After about an incense stick's time, after going around a bend in the lake, the previously obstructed view suddenly became clear. A series of miniature docks stood in a row, and pleasure boats returned or left the port from time to time.
Behind the pier is a group of quaint two- or three-story buildings, from which the sounds of reciting poems and writing couplets mixed with the melodious and cheerful sounds of the zither and stringed instrument.
This is the true essence that makes Taiyue Night Market famous all over the world!
The swallows that used to fly in front of the Wang and Xie mansions now fly into the homes of ordinary people!
Here are the female members of the Jiaofangsi waiting for punishment who have studied music, chess, calligraphy and painting since childhood, the talented and beautiful entertainers whose music can linger in the air, and the countless literati and poets who demonstrated the unparalleled prosperity of the Taiyue Dynasty.
A famous erotica who sells her art but not her body, has a high degree of autonomy and is followed by countless fanatical fans. Chen Yuanyuan is the brightest star among them!
She is well-versed in music theory and her guzheng skills are unparalleled, surpassing even the most beautiful women in Taiyue! Her beauty is unparalleled, and she is hailed as the most stunning beauty in the world by the Taiyue Beauty List!
Chen Yuanyuan's pleasure boat would only appear at the dock three times a month. In order to board the boat, one had to have a huge amount of money and be a world-famous or talented person.
People like Yue Lingxi, who are on the list of heroes in the world, can board the ship based on their names, while others can only wait at the dock. After Chen Yuanyuan gives them a topic to write poems and selects ten best works, the authors can board the ship to see the real thing.
