Chapter 46 Ghost Chapter
Hundred Ghosts Festival, as the name suggests, all ghosts gather to celebrate the festival.It is the most grand festival in South Vietnam besides the New Year's Eve.
Early this morning, Ji Yan heard all kinds of voices on the street. All the things prepared the day before had been put out, and the smell of all kinds of food came in through the cracks in the windows, making people salivate.
Zhiying rubbed her eyes, "Ayan, it smells so good."
"Then get up quickly, the street is so lively." Ji Yan kissed Zhiying on the corner of her mouth, and hugged her to get up.
Zhiying yawned half-lying on Ji Yan's body, slurred what, and kissed Ji Yan's sticky face while talking, which made Ji Yan itch so much that she scratched Zhiying's waist with her backhand nest.
With a jolt, Zhiying fell back on the bed again, and wrapped the quilt around her body, "Ayan, I'm still so sleepy..."
"Get up quickly, or the two of you will quarrel again when Ah Yin comes over."
"It's noisy, whoever is afraid of whom." Zhi Ying shouted violently.
Ji Yan smiled, "It seems that I'm sober, get up quickly, you can do a lot of things when you get up early, didn't you still think about all kinds of toys in that street yesterday? It's too late, but there are no more."
Ji Yan's voice was clear, with the coolness of the morning, she took a small hook to drill into Zhiying's ear.
Now I can't sleep at all.
When she got out of the quilt, her hair fluttered, Zhiying pursed her lips, "I'll get up right away."
After crumpling the quilt again, I found my shoes to wash.
When the two came out, Gu Yin had already been sitting in the hall downstairs for a long time, with one leg on the stool, "I'll tell you that you came out late."
"Hmph." Zhiying was only thinking about eating and drinking all kinds of playthings on the street, she cast a glance at her and walked out.
"I don't know, where are you guys going?" It wasn't just when, Lu Zhong also walked over, the expression on his face was unclear.
"Is your eyes bad?" Gu Yin said, "You came to Nanyue to participate in the Hundred Ghosts Festival, why don't you go shopping today?"
Lu Zhong: "In my opinion, it's better for everyone not to go out."
"Why?" Ji Yan asked.
"Hehe, our people along the way represent the face of my Da Chu. When we arrive in Nanyue, we will lose the face of Da Chu." Lu Zhong spoke righteously, as if he shouldered the glory of the entire Chu country.
"Heh." Zhi Ying smiled, "It turns out that Master Lu attaches so much importance to the country's glory, the daughter of the people has been educated."
Lu Zhong was praised very much, and he couldn't help raising his head after hearing Zhiying's words, "So..."
"So I think Master Lu misunderstood me," Ji Yan said, "I mean, why should I listen to you?"
"I am Da Chu's grand master! I am the head of the country!"
Gu Yin let out a merciless "tss".
Master?
How much power can a position with no real power and controlled by the royal family have?
King?
That would be even more ridiculous.
How many concubines does the emperor have today, and who will be named concubine in this concubine's palace today?If it weren't for your Lu family's foundation, let's see if Bu Bing would look at you more.
After the slander was over, Gu Yin saw that Lu Zhong had nothing to say after being refuted, and signaled that the two of them were about to go out.
"No, you can't go out!" Lu Zhong shouted.
"I don't want to go out today." The repeated obstacles wore away Ji Yan's patience.
"You guys!" Lu Zhong wanted to stop him, but he didn't know how to do it. "If you do this, be careful that I will sue His Majesty and punish you for treason."
"I think Master Lu should take care of himself first." Ji Yan pulled Zhiying and walked out.
"Oh, by the way, my lord's son was buried not long ago." Gu Yin followed with a half-smile and went out.
Without Lu Zhong as an obstacle on the road, the whole process went much smoother. Zhiying took Ji Yan to look around, and all the vendors responded enthusiastically to this sweet and smart girl.
----
As night fell, the Hundred Ghosts Festival party officially began.
A bonfire was lit in the venue that had already been arranged, and many people danced around it. Next to it was a person sitting on the ground playing the violin and flute.
It’s not lively.
Ji Yan and the others were sitting on the attic, right in front of him was the current King of Nanyue, and Sheng Qing and Sheng Ge were sitting on one side, facing the bonfire and enjoying the magnificent scenery.
On everyone's table, there was South Vietnam's seasonal jasmine tea, chicken angelica soup, and various foods that symbolized the Hundred Ghosts Festival, and the aroma was overwhelming.
"I don't know how many people, what do you think of the Hundred Ghosts Festival in my country of Yue?" the king of Nanyue said.
"Naturally, it is colorful and wonderful." Lu Zhong said immediately.
"Indeed, indeed, it can be seen that the king of Nanyue governed well." An envoy from the neighboring country said.
Ji Yan: "The people's lives are happy, their faces are bright, their singing voices are melodious, extraordinary, it's a good time in the world."
After hearing Ji Yan's words, the Nanyue King suddenly grew up, "Okay!"
"I've heard for a long time that the daughter of the Ministry of Punishment of the Chu Kingdom is very talented. Today I saw her and she is really extraordinary. Come and enjoy the wine!"
Ji Yan got up slowly, and bowed to the King of Nanyue, "My lord, Ji Yan has some important business to do on this trip, so it's inconvenient to drink, and I hope the king will forgive me."
Ji Yan still remembers the incident of getting drunk last time, if she commits a crime again this time and does something out of the ordinary, then the loss outweighs the gain.
Sheng Ge: "Hey, this is a special product of my country of Yue. It doesn't have many prescriptions. It can be used as a normal drink. Miss Ji Yan can drink it at ease."
"This……"
Zhiying got up and said: "Your Majesty, the Chu and Yue countries have a good relationship, but they have been advancing and retreating politely for many years. I will wait for your Majesty's order to go to Yue, and I will not dare to disgrace Your Majesty's face with every move, so this wine... "
Zhi Ying's words are reasonable, and her words are mature like never before. Ji Yan deeply feels that her Ah Ying is really different.
"That's enough, that's enough," Sheng Qing said impatiently, "Don't watch the party anymore, people don't drink if they don't drink, it's a good party, you make it so embarrassing."
After finishing speaking, he said to Ji Yanzhi and Ying: "This prince is in charge, please sit down."
Even so, but in Yue country, people from other countries still can't take the face of the king of Nanyue.
Seeing what Sheng Qing said, the King of Nanyue had no choice but to wave his hand, "Okay, sit down quickly."
After the two sat down, Sheng Ge's voice came faintly, "Second brother and the two girls have a good relationship."
Between the words, there are elusive meanings hidden.
