In another world where Chen Xuan lives, the marquee lantern was called the cockroach lantern in ancient times, the fairy sound candle and the heron lantern, the horse riding lantern, the handicraft with Chinese characteristics, and it is also one of the traditional festival toys, which belongs to a kind of lantern. It is commonly found on Chinese New Year's Eve, Lantern Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and other festivals. It is also called a marquee and a string of marquees. It is woven from bamboo into a horse's head, and the horsetail is tied to the body and pasted with brightly colored paper, which has now been replaced by silk. In the past, the marquee was generally performed on festive days such as the Spring Festival, composed of about 20 children aged 11-14, dancing and singing, forming different formations according to the rhythm of the fast and slow, with the meaning of festivity, prosperity and prosperity, and abundant harvest.

A candle is lit inside the lamp, and the heat generated by the candle causes air currents that spin the axle. There are paper cutouts on the wheel shaft, and the candlelight casts the shadow of the paper cut on the screen, and the image keeps moving. Because many pictures of ancient military generals riding horses are drawn on each side of the lamp, and when the lamp turns, it looks like a few people are chasing me, so it is called the marquee lamp.

You can buy it in the store every holiday, and there are all kinds of marquees.

Chen Xuan painted all kinds of colorful paintings, but there were no materials for making them, and while it was still early, he rushed out of the courtyard and walked towards Qiyun Town at the foot of the mountain.

Tianhe shop, the largest shop within a radius of dozens of miles in Qiyun Town covers an area of more than ten acres, and there are all the goods you want inside, Chen Xuan walked into the store, found the shopkeeper and asked: "Shopkeeper, I want scissors, colored paper, ink and colored candles........."

It cost 10,000 gold coins to buy these things, and seeing the things in hand, Chen Xuan muttered: "Now that I am really penniless, it is best to earn it back with these lanterns, otherwise it will really be ugly to die." ”

Back to the room.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

In the final stage, only production remains.

The first time he was not very proficient in production, Chen Xuan broke five or six pieces and scrapped a lot of production materials, but then he slowly found out his experience, and the seventh lantern was made by him.

Looking at the marquee he made, Chen Xuan felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

With experience, Chen Xuan made it much easier and easier to make again.

In one afternoon, Chen Xuan made ten lanterns of different colors, large and small.

It was getting late, and Chen Xuan couldn't stay sleepy, so he stopped and turned around and went back to bed to sleep.

The next morning, Chen Xuan's eyes were red and he obviously hadn't slept all night, but his face didn't show a trace of exhaustion, but looked more energetic.

Fugui Street, Qiyun Town, the most lively and prosperous street, which supports one-third of the income of Daqing Kingdom, martial artists, merchants, and children of big families will come here to choose what they need.

Today is the annual lantern festival, and all the merchants and vendors arrive early, and if you come late, you can't find a better place to set up their stalls.

At dusk, the crowd on Fugui Street gradually increased, and it was also the most lively time, some vendors did not know that they came out of that corner, and they put on the goods they were selling, and kept shouting.

"Come and see, the best thousand-year-old ginseng only sells for three hundred gold coins. ”

"Tiger Body Pill, only three thousand gold coins a piece, you have to buy it quickly!"

"Phoenix Blood Condensation Pill, a good pill only costs five thousand gold coins, and today it is sold at a discount and cheaply at the Lantern Festival...."

Hearing the hawkers' incessant shouting, some passers-by stopped and came up to watch, and the stall owners immediately smiled at each other and enthusiastically introduced their products.

Compared to them, one of the stall owners put things out of place, and many passers-by gathered to watch, one of whom asked, "Little brother, what are you selling?" ”

"Flower lanterns. ”

"Lamp, brother, are you joking? How can there be such a strange lamp in the world? Not only that, but it will automatically rotate, and the characters drawn on it will move. ”

"Hey, you let me go, don't be me, this pink lamp, I want it, how much is it?"

"Lanterns? Okay, let's call it lanterns. ”

Behind the booth was a young man dressed in white, with a smile on his face, who always answered questions from passers-by patiently.

This young man is none other than Chen Xuan.

The lanterns placed in front of Chen Xuan include dragon-shaped lanterns, boat-shaped lanterns, and horse-shaped lanterns.

The candles inside the lantern have been lit and rotated, and the characters on the lantern seem to move like real people, lifelike like living people.

At this moment, Fugui Street is densely packed with nearly 100 stalls on the entire street, and none of them are as lively as Chen Xuan.

It aroused the jealousy and curiosity of many traders, what exactly did he sell that could make so many people watch.

Such a popular stall was rare in the past, and unless there were rare treasures, it was difficult to appear on Fugui Street.

Could it be that there are really rare treasures?

Everyone looked at the past curiously, only to see that no matter men, women, young and old, poor or rich, they could no longer move their feet, and countless hawkers wanted to go to watch, but they really couldn't leave.

Many onlookers bustled to ask for the price.

"Little brother, how do you sell this lantern! I think which dragon's lantern is good, how much does it cost?"

Seeing that the onlookers were about the same, Chen Xuan already had a price in his heart, and said with a smile: "This dragon lantern is five thousand gold coins." ”

"What? 5,000 gold coins, isn't it too expensive?"

Beside them, many people heard that a lamp cost 5,000 gold coins, and their eyes widened in disbelief.

Five thousand gold coins are not at all something that ordinary people can afford, the gray-clothed man couldn't help but be embarrassed to put down the lantern in his hand, he originally thought that a few hundred gold coins could buy a lantern, but he didn't know that the little brother would ask for five thousand gold coins in one mouth.

He could buy one for less than 5,000 gold coins, but 5,000 gold coins was not within his ability.

The enthusiasm of the onlookers faded a lot, and many people shook their heads, thinking that most of the young people's lanterns could not be sold.

These lanterns are novel and gorgeous, unique, and good, but the price is too expensive, and it is impossible for ordinary people to be willing to spend money to buy them.

Although they can't afford it, people don't want to leave and still stand by and watch, even if they look at this kind of lamp that they have never seen before.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan's face was calm and did not show any urgency, it seemed that he had expected such a result, everyone saw Chen bend down and light up the remaining nine lanterns, and in an instant, the ten lanterns lit up together, emitting colorful light, illuminating the entire stall.

Ten lanterns of different shapes, each emitting a different light, were extremely gorgeous, and the onlookers were immediately stunned by the scene in front of them, they had never seen such gorgeous lanterns.

The onlookers were in a trance to see the fairyland, and from time to time they let out bursts of exclamation.

This scene attracted more people to come and watch.

Looking at his masterpiece, Chen Xuan showed a smug smile, although the lanterns he made were not as good as those in the twenty-first life, but it was enough to take them out and fool these people, Chen Xuan knew these people very well, they were just for a freshness.
