The golden sun rose in the east, and the chill that had been cold for two days was finally dispelled by the scorching heat.

Today is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, this Jianyang Mansion is already crowded, the buying and selling shops are full of people flowing, and the surrounding down-and-out villages and counties will choose today, gather together in this Jianyang Mansion, find a prosperous territory, put on some of their own boiled meat and meat, or the rouge gouache that the girl usually rubs, and the three or five spirits, a few free-range poultry and game are also left at this time, and they are sold in one fell swoop during the New Year's Festival, and they are also relieved to hold some loose silver coins in their hands and put them in their arms, isn't it?

The origin of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival legend can be regarded as varied, some say that thousands of years ago there was the Son of Heaven to sacrifice to the sky, according to the Buddhists said that it is the lamp for the Buddha, if according to the Taoist words is the Taoist three-yuan saying, all kinds of origins are dizzying.

But these Lin Zong's trivial matters do not delay at all Shangyuan Lantern will become a day for people to gather and rejoice, spread for thousands of years has become an inseparable thing for the people, this street is full of joy and joy, thousands of red color palace lamps on the street have already been hung, but the candle flame has not been lit, this candle flame can only be lit at night, and then it is the most lively time of this Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

Thousands of red color palace lanterns in the cold wind are wanton, there are three-star blessings and mountains and rivers flowers and birds, there are handsome ladies and more auspicious animal heads, it can be described as colorful, swaying with the spring wind, there is also a different style.

The crowd on this street is crowded, and the burly man who plays the handle style does not care about the cold and warm weather, tears his middle coat to reveal his solid muscles, and holds the 100-pound stone lock hammer in his arms and shoulders, whistling and waving in the cold wind, throwing high and catching it with his arms steadily, which is not spectacular.

The golden gun pierced the throat, the iron cable blocked the river, the back hob mountain, and the chest gravel.

The two spears riveted their strength to the choked throat, the thick iron rope wrapped around the waist and let it be pulled, the blade of the three-five steel blade rolled towards the flesh and blood of the sky, and the bluestone slab weighing one hundred and ten pounds was on the chest, allowing the sledgehammer to rise and fall.

But this cheering is not in vain, according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, stepping on the ground to look at the living, this is a hard work, a wave of the style down, there is that young man holding a gong basket to collect some copper plate broken silver, you shout good is to cheer, if you see the gong basket in front of you and then want to dodge but it is too late, can not stand the words of people pleading, but can not stand the attention of the crowd can only take out a few large copper coins.

As the saying goes, this peer is a rival, if in the past when the crowd on the street was sparse, a team could not eat, not to mention the few put together, if there were many people in front of the team, there would be a lot of red eyes, but now this Shangyuan Lantern Festival is different, full of people, not afraid of no one to see only that the learning and art will not be able to retain the patrons.

There are all kinds of performers on this street, playing monkeys and birds, and Guan Qu Ping, but most of the idle artists on this street are for begging for a living, which is neither elegant nor vulgar, most of them are some voices that can grasp people's hearts and sing, and can retain more customers.

The people of Jianyang Mansion all know that the Guan Qu Ping dialect in the downtown is to listen to a lively, listen to a high and short voice, and listen to a few words of auspicious and joyful flattery.

However, this time is still early, Changchun Garden is still lively in the evening, and other theaters have to come out to attract customers and sell seats, but this Changchun Garden is like a pair of shop bully sitting business furnishings, and there is no trace of solicitation in front of the door all year round.

Changchun Garden has such confidence is all because of this Xian and Liu, in this Jianyang Mansion and even the entire Anzhou, this Xian and Liu is a gold-lettered signboard, a Tsing Yi three taels of fat powder, a sentence of reverberation and a lingering sound, there are people who love joy and music in this market faintly circulated, this Xian Youliu's voice is not inferior to the red-clothed famous Lu Ru who moved Chang'an twenty years ago.

In addition to this vast voice, the appearance of the Alluring City is a rare jade fragrance in the world, but unfortunately, this Xian Tsing Yi is only twenty years old, and missed the Fengyi list of the last Duhe Academy, otherwise the name of this Tsing Yi is enough to move the world.

Now this Xian Tsing Yi can be Tiannan Haibei with this foreign voice and the appearance of the city to Bo a fight for the wealth of the world, a fight for the golden horse and silver horse, and also a fight for the talent and beauty that has been passed down through the ages, but Tsing Yi did not fly out of this narrow cage as the world imagined, to go to the vast world of the world, but has been shallow in this projectile city, in addition to appearing in this Changchun Garden, the rest of the time is completely committed to a three-story building in the city.

The owner of this Changchun Garden also does not know which generation of ancestors has accumulated virtue, and can make Xian Qingyi like this, the tea house of this Changchun Garden has been sold from ten copper coins to hundreds, that is, there are people who can only get a chair and stool that is very backward when they draw hundreds of dollars, and they can only look at the peerless famous corner in Tsing Yi from a distance.

If you want to go forward to see the beauty, you need some weighty copper coins, the first table of two Taishi chairs, which one of them is worth a handful of silver, although it is expensive and scary, but it still can't stop the rich son of the stranger who came that day, when the other theater is cold, this Changchun Garden is always a little bit of the hustle and bustle of the tea house.

Ordinary people couldn't take out the hundred copper coins, so they could only surround themselves outside the theater, through the thick walls, through the sea of people, and listen to the vast aftermath scattered outside.

Jianyang Fuzhong, this Shangyuan Lantern Festival is the last pleasant festival in the first half of the year, this is the festive downtown full of joy, most of the greedy tourists on the road are not in a hurry or hurry, like walking in the imperial garden of the emperor's house, enjoying the joy of the world on both sides of the street.

But in this happy Shangyuan street mixed with a few lost figures, a young couple supporting an old woman in the sixtieth century interspersed in the crowded street, the old woman in the sixtieth birthday lost her soul, the feet seem to be scattered roots, if there is no son and daughter-in-law to support the fall to the ground unconscious.

The son is almost the same age, and the husband and wife are both thin and weak, and they can be regarded as kind eyebrows without vicious anger on their faces, but there is a slight feeling of snorting in their kind eyes.

The husband and wife looked around in the crowd while supporting the old mother, as if looking for something, and suddenly, the husband seemed to see a familiar figure, and after informing his wife and mother, he pushed away the crowd and ran to the somewhat awkward old shadow.

In the crowd, the man's weak confession loomed, and the old shadow seemed to feel unlucky, frowned, and couldn't help but say a few words harshly.

The young man went from elation to despondency too quickly, and the little information that had just ignited in the hearts of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was extinguished by a confession.

A family of three gathered together again, the same as before, walked aimlessly, walked a hundred and ten steps, the crowd did not even see a similar figure, the old woman seemed to be tired, waved her hand slightly, and the family of three stopped in the middle of the road, regardless of the crowd.

"Mother, maybe Dad has gone home. ”

The young daughter-in-law choked up, seeing that her mother-in-law was depressed and wanted to try her best to appease her, but as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but turn her head slightly, and wiped the rosiness from the corners of her eyes with a very small movement, not wanting to let the tears that had been brewing for a long time stay, nor did she want to pile these tears in her mother-in-law's heart.

The old woman seemed to turn a deaf ear, looking up at the auspicious red color palace lantern, there was water flowing in the old and dim eyes, and after looking at it for a long time, the old woman finally couldn't suppress the warm current in her eyes, and two lines of tears crossed the wrinkled old face.

The old woman had tears in her eyes, in this crowded crowd, in the prosperous world, in the support of her son and daughter-in-law, she slowly turned around, suddenly looked at the majestic gatehouse more than a thousand steps away, looked at the so-called dynasty law, the old man choked and said:

"What kind of world is this?"

Today is the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, out of today, the year will be over, so the people of Jianyang Mansion today are particularly energetic, and no one wants to miss some excitement, and the same is true for this family of three.

The golden rooster sings three times, and the five drums are bright.

The son and daughter-in-law got up early and filled a few thick firewood for the charcoal stove in the parents' room, whether rich or poor, this year's festival, the house can not be cold, the old woman does not pay attention to welcoming the gods and worshipping the ancestors, the family is doing well, and those useless etiquette makes people tired.

The old woman last night can be regarded as a sleepless night, yesterday the old and unserious husband went to a friend's house to eat and drink, and went in the evening, saying that he would return before the curfew, but the bridge tower sounded several times that the old man did not come back, this night did not return, so that the old woman was very memorable, and the voice of complaining in her heart kept ringing.

The old woman is not like the Chinese doctor's mother-in-law, for fear that the old man will be hooked, as soon as this is mentioned, the old woman can't help laughing, the old sister is too, no matter how the old man Hua is outstanding in medical skills, he is also an old man who is more than half a hundred years old, even if this skinless and faceless old thing likes to stick it on the young girl, the young girl has to take care of it, one has no money, two has no power, three has no power, and the girl is not blind, where will he want it.

The old woman complained in her heart, most of the time that the old man was old, and he didn't know what to do, and he was still drunk like the young man when he was over the age of six, and how uncomfortable should he feel when he was drunk? Although the old friend's family did not lack his bedding, but what day was today, the old thing didn't count in his heart? This Shangyuan Lantern Festival wanted a reunion and excitement, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law wrapped the Lantern Festival for two days just for today's meals, and the old thing said that he would not come back if he didn't come back, but it was really disobedient.

If it was placed when she was young, the old woman might be like the old sister of the Hua family who pulled her ears and reprimanded a few words, but now at such an age, it is a great fortune to be alive, and the old woman is not willing to compete with the old thing that does not know what to do, and when she saw that her son and daughter-in-law got up early, she instructed her son to bring the drunk father back, and the shame was also left at home, don't throw your age outside, so that the family will lose face.

Counting the time when the son went out, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law put the wrapped Lantern Festival into the boiling water, and did not forget to tell the daughter-in-law to let the father and son drink the rice wine that had been hidden in the two jars for more than ten years.

At the time of the New Year's Festival, this wine and food must be richer than usual, even if this early morning, the meat of the wine has been put on the table, just wait for the father and son to enter the hospital to eat a hot reunion, but this Lantern Festival from hot to cold, the father and son have not returned, the old lady can't help but worry, this old man is afraid that he is not too drunk to eat, and he has added some pain.

As soon as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to go out, they saw the son return home in a panic, and he was still holding a dark lamp pole in his hand.

Friends said that the old man went home last night after three watches, and the neighbors around him also saw the old man leaving, the old woman was struck by lightning, and the old and fragile heart was about to collapse, the old man did not return late at night, and the utensils he brought with him were already like this, and the old woman did not dare to think about it anymore.

A family of three rushed to the Yin Yamen of Jianyang Mansion in a panic, wanting to let the king of heaven and earth want the old man who was an official to help find the traces of his husband, but the door of the yamen was closed, and he didn't even see the shadow of a messenger.

Beating the drum is a fifty killing stick, who can stand up to the physique of his family of three?

This beating of the drum of injustice is not a special case of Jianyang Mansion, this is the iron rule of the dynasty, it must be related to the major affairs of the military state, the great greed and evil, and the strange injustices can be beaten, and the one who does not beat the drum to sue is the prisoner, and the one who slams the drum is the law of the country.

If the drummer is just a trivial matter, no one can avoid these fifty killing sticks, and the family of three naturally did not dare to beat the drum, so they had to pinch the mottled lamp pole in their hands, pacing left and right in the cold wind, waiting for the eyes of this dynasty to open.

After waiting back and forth for half an hour, there was already a lot of noise on the street, and only then did four servants open the door of the yamen mansion with sleepy eyes, and the old woman who had been waiting for a long time handed the mottled lamp pole to the officials and masters with a crying voice, and choked up and said that something had happened to her old man.

But in exchange for only three or two light words, a sentence came out of the family of three that the old father was lost, and there was a sound at the yamen that there were thousands of lost people, and the yamen was not the footman who was looking for a fool, how could he find it? The old man only went out for one night, maybe he was sleeping soundly somewhere.

The old woman pointed to the lamp pole and said that she was afraid of being killed, and there was lazy speech at the entrance of the yamen, and the millions of wood in this world are your family's things?

The young man was full of anger when he heard the words of those bastards, but he had the courage to argue for two sentences, and the four officials snorted coldly and sarcastically, and the official knife at his waist was upright, and the big hat on his head shook a few times, which was regarded as telling the three people who were not open-eyed, what was the royal law.

The old woman begged to see the old man in tears, but no matter how the old woman wept and how the young daughter-in-law sobbed, there was just a cold sentence in the official office, and I wanted to see him come again tomorrow.

The old woman's liver and intestines were sawed off, her eyes crackled with tears, and she begged again and again at the entrance of the yamen, and bowed to the four young students, but several of them turned a deaf ear.

As the street became more and more lively, more and more people noticed the old woman's wailing, and heard the woman's heartbroken and hoarse voice.

In front of the Yin Yamen of Jianyang Mansion, there was a lot of noise, dozens of people gathered around the Yamen stone lion, raised their arms and shouted, even if the official sent the official to draw out the official knife, it would be useless, this people are like this, if one person can ignite the fire in everyone's hearts, then the fire can be ignited, but the flame will not dare to move forward without wind, and dare not move out a trace of spark to hit the turbulent water.

The same is true in this errand service, if someone holds a knife to further extinguish the fire of the people, but no one lifts the water forward, because this water and fire are incompatible, it seems that there is water to overcome the fire, but if the flame rises with the trend, this basin of turbid water will be burned dry and torn apart in an instant, and it is also because of this, in front of the Yin Yamen of Jianyang Mansion, the water and fire are far away from each other across a family of three, and the distinction is clear.

Such a noisy finally had an effect, the sleepy-eyed master Yin of the mansion fought hard to the water and fire, saw the water and fire rolling, he had the heart to extinguish the fire and intercept the water, and brought a family of three into the house in a few words.

Everything is the same as ever.

In the cold wind, the old woman's tears fell to the ground and disappeared, and no one remembered them again.

In the side hall, the master was sleepy, a cup of hot tea for a family of three, looking at the old man's tear stains and personally handed over a silk handkerchief for the old man to wipe away the tears, hearing the old woman's hoarse words, couldn't help but show a little worried look, even said a stick of incense time, the master sighed again and again that the auspicious people have their own natural appearance, for the old Han named the name, then let a few people go home and wait, and did not forget to add a sentence that the old man should not toss, as soon as there is news, there will be a messenger to the door to notify.

A family of three thanked Dade for leaving the mansion and walked hundreds of steps before he suddenly realized that he didn't even leave a picture of his face, how can he find it just by relying on a name?

In the side hall of the yamen, the old man's life and two cups of residual tea were withdrawn together, where no one knows, the master is sleepy again, and he has no time to feel sorry for the silk handkerchief, and the snoring sound faintly comes from the side hall.

Nowadays, there is no noise outside this yamen.

Sleep soundly at this time.

Pretty comfortable, right?
