After all, it is the Shangyuan Festival, and the streets of Xianglin Town are brilliantly lit, and all kinds of lanterns are dazzling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info every household hangs five-color lanterns, the lanterns depict a variety of characters, dancing, birds flying and flowers, dragons and fish jumping, lanterns and fireworks shine all night, drum music and amusement, noisy and noisy.

The crowd in front of the "Grand Hyatt Restaurant" was crowded, and Baili Zimo was still sitting on the shoulders of his mother, condescendingly watching the dragon and lion dances, stilts and dry boat teams invited by the restaurant.

After the performance, the shopkeeper of the restaurant cleared his throat and announced the start of the lantern riddle guessing activity. Baili Zimo was carried on the shoulders by her mother, looking at the height of those riddles, she saw an interesting one, but her mother under her was pushed by a rude guy, Xiaoxue was also startled, but fortunately she was helped by the senior brother and Brother Feng next to her, so she didn't fall.

Zi Mo's eyes widened with anger and looked at the guy who pushed people. It turned out to be the rich man of Xianglin Town, known as the smiling tiger. When she saw a well-dressed man, she stuttered desperately, and when she saw a poor man in rags, she blew her beard and glared at him.

There was a female scholar named Wang Yu, who was once kicked out of the gate when she went to borrow grain because of her tattered clothes. Baili Zimo glanced at her with disdain, and then remembered the riddle he had just seen, his eyes rolled, and he laughed loudly: "Yu Rich, you also come to guess the lantern riddle." There's a riddle here, I think it's a good match for you, I'll read it to you. ”

It doesn't mean that the rich man has a reaction, Baili Zimo read it out loud: The tip of the head and the body are as white as silver. The scale is not half a cent, the eyes are long to the buttocks, and the clothes are not recognized. ”

The surrounding crowd burst into laughter, and when the rich man heard this, he was so angry that his face was red, and he jumped like thunder, and shouted: "You are so small, you dare to come and scold Mrs. Ben." As he spoke, he asked the family to come over and arrest someone, but Hu Xiaopan threw his ass and squatted with one arm.

Baili Zimo said with a smile: "Hey, Mrs. Liu is not suspicious, I am reading a lantern riddle, and the riddle is the 'needle', do you think about it." How did this 'needle' happen to you? It must have been addressed to you, otherwise how would you know that it was you?" The smiling tiger thought about it, but it was not, so he had to stare at it in anger and slip away, and the people around him laughed happily.

The shopkeeper of Junyue Restaurant also echoed and smiled: "Hehe, wonderful, the little boss not only guessed the riddle, but also skillfully used the lantern riddle to satirize the guy of that force, it is really wonderful." Xiao Er, pick this lantern down and send it to the little boss. Baili Zimo had an innocent smile on his face, and said sweetly: "It's the wonder of the lantern riddle of the restaurant, I'm just a little anxious, it's not worth mentioning." ”

As he spoke, he handed the lantern to Baili Zimo, and said in a coquettish tone: "The first lantern I won, give it to my brother." Baili Qianxiang took it sweetly in his heart.

Xing Xuan next to him saw that Baili Qianxiang couldn't hide his happiness because he received Zi Mo's gift, and his heart was mixed, but he asked casually: "Zi Mo, why do you only remember your future husband, senior brother?"

Ye Mei also joked: "Little magpie, with a long tail, I forgot my mother when I have a husband." What about my mother and father's lanterns?" Baili Zimo received everyone's jokes, pouted and said, "Hmph! Make fun of me, I really don't care if I earn the lanterns by myself." ”

Xing Xuan saw the puzzle on a chic silk lamp, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but his mouth was surprised: "What kind of item is this? It's really strange...... Zi Mo was more curious: "Where...... Where...... I'll guess. Ye Mei hurriedly cooperated with her daughter and walked in front of Xingxuan.

Zi Mo stretched out his head to look, rolled his eyes at Senior Brother, and said angrily: "What else can this be?" White air rises above, and water blooms below. ”

Xingxuan was still there touching his chin, thinking for a long time, his drooping eyelashes blocking his smiling eyes. "What is it at home? Is it the basket used to hold rice balls yesterday?" Zi Mo replied impatiently: "It's the steamer for steaming steamed buns and buns in our shop! Layer after layer, won't the steamed buns be steaming on the Internet when they are cooked? The boiling water below is gurgling, isn't it like water blooming? It's no wonder that the senior brother is like this, where does he come into contact with the supplies of our ordinary people's homes, I can't guess and I won't laugh at you." ”

Xingxuan raised his head with a hurt face, his eyes full of sadness: "I...... In your eyes, is this such a big young master who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, and is high-minded?" Baili Zimo saw his aggrieved eyes, and his heart seemed to be pinched by someone, and he hurriedly explained: "No, no, I didn't mean that." I mean...... I don't mean anything......" She was a little incoherent, what's wrong with me, forget it, just go as you like.

Xingxuan lowered her head as if she was frustrated, but the corners of her mouth curled up from her panic. Baili Zimo explained and apologized again, and his nose was sweating in a hurry. He slowly raised his head and showed a beautiful smile: "I know that I don't know anything except medical skills, and even without the people who serve around me, it is difficult for me to take care of even the minimum food, clothing, housing and transportation...... However, I believe that the little junior sister will not look down on me because of this, right?" Baili Zimo is now able to make him smile, everything you say is right, and his head is like a chicken pecking rice.

"That'...... This lantern is taken by Senior Brother, is it going to be given to Senior Brother?" Xing Xuan secretly glanced at the flower basket lantern of Baili Qianxiang's hand, pointed to the lamp with the puzzle of "steamer" just now, and looked at Xiaoxue's eyes full of "I like it, I want it, give it to me......"

Baili Zimo immediately replied obediently: "This lamp was originally intended to be given to senior brother, it would be better if you liked it." Mother...... That's a marquee, it's so interesting, let's take a look. "Hurry up and get out of this place, it's terrible for men to be jealous.

Xing Xuan took the lantern handed to him by Xiao Xue herself, the corners of his mouth raised, where was the complaining attitude just now. Baili Qianxiang looked at the lantern in his hand, and looked at Xingxuan's back as he followed Zi Mo, and felt angry and funny in his heart: This is about to become an adult's immortal, and the famous "little doctor fairy" actually has such a naΓ―ve side. He...... Will you look at the average family background, and still be a child's little sister?

"Brother Qianxiang, come on...... Help me guess what this is, Daddy will love this lamp. Zi Mo's unique soft words came, sweeping away the worry in the heart of Baili Qianxiang. As long as Zi Mo has such a position in his heart, even if it is a small piece of land that belongs to him, he will always stand by her side...... Next, Baili Qianxiang guessed an anagram and won a palace lamp for Ye Yan.

Xingxuan was not far behind to guess a medicine riddle that he was good at, and gave Zi Mo a marquee that he liked. Zi Mo won a corner lamp for Ye Mei and Lin Qingnu again, and they were all happy. The Baili family, each carrying a lamp, left the Grand Hyatt Restaurant, and his father proposed to go to "walk a hundred diseases". The so-called walking all kinds of diseases, belongs to the Shangyuan Festival men to avoid disasters and seek blessings of a kind of folk activities, men gather together, or walk by the wall, or cross the bridge or go to the suburbs, the purpose is to drive away the disease.

When "walking through all diseases", it is necessary to "touch the nails" in order to seek good luck and eliminate diseases. "Touching nails" refers to going to the temple to burn incense and touching the door nails on the temple gate with your hands, so as to pray for the prosperity of the family. Speaking of "touching nails", Baili Zimo also made a joke, the married husband touched the nails and begged for a daughter, hoping to give birth to a baby girl as soon as possible, but she still touched it, but the family laughed out of breath.

Han Lie: Walking a hundred diseases is the traditional folk culture of the Han nationality in the north since the Ming and Qing dynasties, some of which are carried out on the 15th, but most of them are carried out on the 16th. On this day, the women dressed in festive costumes went out of the house in groups, crossed the bridge, climbed the city, and begged for children until midnight. Texas women climbed the south gate and walked to the big temple pavilion, as the saying goes: "Climb the city, don't have back pain." "Women in Huangxian County (now Longkou City) must cross the crescent bridge in Xiguan to walk through all kinds of diseases. Men and women of all ages in the rural areas of Ju County have to go to the wild for a walk on this day, which is called "walking the old look", and it is said that walking once a year can be young and never age.
