The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoAfter this day, the lively Spring Festival is considered to be complete. In the Zhou Dynasty, the Lantern Festival was also called the Lantern Festival.

Binh Duong has a Jing River that runs through the city from west to east, stretching outside the city and into the next city. This is an artificial river, the purpose of opening the river is mainly used for transportation, convenient for ships to pass through, so it is about several zhang wide, and it is extremely magnificent.

Tonight, there will be thousands of river lanterns along the Jing River to the outside of the city, entrusting people's yearning for future life and the fulfillment of their wishes. Spiritual aside, at least it is one of the few pastimes that people have, and it only happens once a year, mostly young people and women.

Yun Tianhua also wanted to see this grand occasion, and naturally he would not be left behind. After dinner, he cleaned up and took Yun Yueyuan and his two younger brothers out. Because they are children of the Shi family, when they go out, Yun Shen also assigned them a few guards.

Although Yun Tianhua felt that it was not necessary, he was followed by a guard who was eyeing him when he went out, and he felt extremely awkward. However, Yun Tianhua did not object, from Yun Shen's point of view, it is understandable that he did not dare to let the quasi-princess have a little surprise.

"Sister, I've never seen my father so nervous about you. Yun Siling said stupidly.

"Father is afraid that something will happen to you, I'm so old, what do I have to worry about." ”

"Really?"

"Or what do you think!"

In the childish and simple minds of the two younger brothers, they didn't seem to think of any other reason, so they could only agree with their sister's explanation.

When they arrived at the door, Yun Jia had already prepared the carriage, and the three of them sat in turn, and the winter evening and Xia Yu who were traveling together also sat in. It's a little crowded, but it's over. After a while, the carriage swirled towards the city center.

The carriage drove out of Sanli Street, and gradually the noise reached the ears of the three people through the wooden wheel of the carriage. Yun Tinghua lifted the curtains of the car and reflected the lights on both sides of the market, colorful and colorful.

When they arrived at the fixed carriage landing, Yun Tianhua and several people got off the car in turn. Yun Siling and Yun Siyu had long wanted to rush into the crowd, but because the eldest sister hadn't spoken yet, they naturally had to abide by the etiquette.

Yun Tianhua looked at the bustling crowd, and his heart was also eager to try. Regardless of past or present life, she likes new things. He turned to his two younger brothers and asked, "Do you want to come with us, or do you want to go shopping by yourself?"

The two brothers glanced at each other, although they did not communicate, but the tacit understanding in their eyes had already reached a consensus. Yun Siling said: "We have to play by ourselves. "They don't want to be with women, it's boring.

But remember, two people are not allowed to be separated. One hour is enough, and in an hour, let's gather here. Remember?"

"Uh-huh. The two brothers nodded in unison.

Yun Qianhua looked up at Yun Jia and said, "You follow the two young masters, take care of them, and remember to remind them to come back when the time comes." ”

"Yes, Miss. "Yunjia commanded.

When the two brothers got the order, they spread their legs and ran, forgetting Yun Qianhua's advice to "slow down, be careful of your step", and instantly blended into the crowd. Yun Qianhua ordered two more guards to follow, and then led Yun Yueyuan into the crowd.

"It's so lively!" Winter Evening couldn't help but sigh, she hadn't seen such a lively scene for a long time.

Yun Tianhua said: "In the capital, on the day of the Lantern Festival, we just go to the street to enjoy the lanterns. But here, you can also put river lanterns!"

"Really, I'm going to put one in that moment, and I'm going to make a wish, a lot of wishes. ”

The two masters looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads helplessly. This kid is so innocent and cute.

In Chang'an, it is said that river lanterns were also put in the past, but later they were not allowed to be released. Because thousands of river lanterns were put on the night that night, although they were happily released, the next day's cleanup was indeed a big trouble, which not only hindered the dredging of the river, but also affected the appearance. If it rains the next day, the clean-up will have to be delayed, resulting in spoils in the river, which will have a greater adverse impact.

As a result, the imperial court changed this custom and changed the river lantern to lantern appreciation. On this day, every household takes out their elaborate lanterns and takes them to the street for people to see. Some also hold activities to guess lantern riddles, and large families will also hold lantern competitions to see whose lanterns are new.

Today is the Festival of Lights, and the most popular business on the street is selling river lanterns. In the middle of a blooming flower, there is a small candle, as long as the candle is lit, you can go to the Jing River to put the lamp and make a wish.

In addition to selling river lanterns, there are also shops selling dry goods, as well as refreshment stalls for pedestrians who are tired of walking. The two Yun Tinghua sisters walked all the way, and from time to time there were shouts of "sell lamps, sell lamps" from both sides.

"Sister, let's buy a river lantern too!" Yun Yueyuan said.

The two stopped in front of a stall selling river lanterns, and Yun Yueyuan looked at the various river lanterns on the stall with a smile in her eyes.

Yun Tinghua smiled, after a few days of conditioning, the initial heartache and grief have been over, and now they are slowly recovering. "Okay, which one do you like?"

"Which one does my sister like?"

Yun Qianhua glanced at it, and finally picked a pink lotus shape, "I want this! ”

"My sister chose it so well. Yun Yueyuan picked a white jasmine, which is her favorite color, plain and elegant.

Yun Tianhua turned his head to Xia Yu and Dong Wan behind him and said, "You can also pick two!"

Winter Night had been waiting impatiently, if it weren't for Xia Yu's stop, she would have wanted to come forward and pick it up. At this moment, after listening to the master's instructions, he couldn't wait to run forward and thanked him, "Thank you, Miss." ”

Yun Tianhua touched her head and said with a smile: "Pick one well, and you will make a beautiful wish." ”

I picked a red plum blossom in the winter evening, and the summer rain was the same as the clouds, and I also picked a lotus flower. The four of them settled the account, lit the candles in the river lamp, and carefully held them in the direction of the Jing River.

***

There are already a lot of people surrounded on the Jing River, most of them are young people or young girls, and few are old people. Everyone was smiling and smiling, full of happiness, the lights on the river were flickering, and the flowers were scattered.

The four of them found an open space, and Yun Yueyuan said, "Sister, let's put it here!"

"Good. ”

The four of them lined up in turn and put the river lantern in their hands into the water. Winter evening clasped his hands together and said loudly: "I want to ......"

"Don't say it. Xia Yu said angrily: "If you say it, it won't work." ”

Looking around in the winter evening, no one really said it, just closed their eyes and muttered silently. She did the same, closing her eyes and muttering to herself.

Yun Tianhua was not like them, he didn't close his eyes or mumble, he just put the river lamp in his hand into the water, and slid the river water around it with a branch, letting it flow into the distance along the water lines, silently.

Look at the flowers and lights on the river, which one is alive? They are like duckweed drifting with the river, drifting with the river to the unknown ahead, and when the candles are burned out, they have no value, or they stay on the shore, or sink to the bottom of the river.

Pinning her wishes on a river lamp, maybe at this age in her previous life, she would have done such a thing. But now that she has experienced life and death, she has felt the warmth and coldness of human feelings, although she can't claim to be a Buddha who has learned the Tao, but the words of ghosts and gods are just words that she hears on weekdays, and they are useless.

People can't rely on ghosts and gods, they can't rely on others, they can only rely on themselves.
