Chapter 176: Lantern Festival

Ding Sanye just said that Tang Hezhang also wanted to see the lanterns tonight. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After Yuxiu had the idea of letting Yuliang worship under Tang Hezhang's name, Yuliang was about to clean up again, and according to Tang Hezhang's preferences, Yuliang changed his clothes. Fortunately, she took advantage of her free time to make a few more sets a few years ago, so that she would not run out of suitable clothes.

After such a busy day, it was evening.

The weather for this year's Lantern Festival is good, and in the evening, the red sun hangs on the West Mountain, and it refuses to go down.

Yuxiu was busy feeding a few chickens in the house and putting them in the chicken coop, and drove the blue girl to the stove, and Xiao Huang's cowpen had to close the door tightly.

After the dragon dance comes to the door, if the noise is too loud, the family will make chickens and dogs jump, it will be too unorthodox.

After dinner, the sun had completely set, the sky and the earth were dark, and a bright moon poked its head out in the east.

The moonlight is cold, but no one cares whether it is cold or not tonight, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has always been the last day of the year, and after this day, it can be regarded as the real beginning of the new year, so this day is also extraordinarily lively, a "noisy" word, so that the Lantern Festival becomes warm and harmonious.

Yuxiu brushed the dishes and washed the pots, Yushu helped everyone take out the clothes and tidy them up, and when Yuxiu came out, Yan Qingjiang and the others were already dressed up.

Yuxiu didn't make any mistakes when she saw it, but Yushu's hair was too plain, "Shu'er, come, I'll help you comb your hair again and put on the new hair flower you bought." ”

Yushu agreed with a smile on her face, sat down on the chair, Yuxiu took the comb, but after a while, she pulled a double snail bun for Yushu, and put pink hair flowers on both sides.

Yushu is wearing a pink jacket, the skirt is embroidered with a picture of flowers blooming and rich, and the embroidered shoes on her feet are also the same flowers and riches as the skirt, and the two butterflies on the shoes are small and can be embroidered very exquisitely. This embroidery work took a lot of effort from Yuxiu.

"Shu'er is a year older and looks better. Yuxiu looked at it, and felt that "my family has a girl who has just grown up".

Yushu chuckled, "Sister, I don't know that you think you are one or twenty years older than me." ”

Yuxiu smiled, really.

Yushu urged Yuxiu to change her clothes again. Yuxiu's own embroidery is not as delicate as Yushu's, a set of cyan jacket skirts, and a red sachet wears, which makes her a little older.

Tonight is going to welcome the dragon, Yuxiu combed a slightly older hanging bun and put on new hair.

The five of them put an incense case at the door of their homes, and put a dragon post on the desk, and people in the village, like Aunt Hong and Sister Rong, had already occupied a good place to watch the dragon dance on the river embankment.

Soon, there was movement from the side of Shiqiaotou, Yuxiu thought it was a dragon coming, it turned out that Ding Sanye took a few family members to open the way and escorted Li Chengyun and Zhou Ming over. There were many people on the embankment, so they parked the carriage at the entrance of the village.

Generally, only your own family members are at home during solitaire, so you can't invite Aunt Hong to sit in the house.

Zhou Ming and Li Chengyun have special identities, and no one told them about this rule.

If in the past, the people in the village would still pay attention to the noble status of the two, but tonight no one cares whether he is the prince or the prince, and everyone is waiting to see the dragon with a smile.

Yudong hurriedly stepped forward to take a few people home, and when they arrived at the door, Zhou Ming and Li Chengyun both stopped, moved out of the way on both sides, and saluted respectfully, and a thin old man in a soap shirt behind them stepped forward and walked in the door with a smile.

Yuxiu stood at the gate of the courtyard to greet him, and when he saw the old man, although he was younger than when he saw him in his previous life, his face was indeed Tang Hezhang.

Li Chengyun introduced to everyone, Yuxiu saw Tang Hezhang again, her mood was a little agitated, and she called "sir", and her voice trembled a little.

She hurriedly pretended to be busy and stepped aside to hide her gaffe. She covered it up quickly, and there were constant voices outside the house, so no one else paid attention, only Zhou Ming gave her a strange look.

"Hurry up, hurry up, the dragon is coming, the dragon is coming!" suddenly shouted from the side of the stone bridge.

Tang Hezhang is also because he has never seen this dragon dance in the south, and there is also a dragon dance in the north, but Banlong is the first time he has heard it. So when they heard that the dragon was coming, they didn't care about anything else, and they all looked towards the entrance of the village.

Yuxiu stood at the gate of the courtyard and saw a firelight dancing on the official road on the east side of the village.

Yudong took advantage of this time to hang a string of hanging whips at the door, and prepared three cannon battles, and when the dragon lantern arrived, he set off artillery battles to greet him.

The fire dragon on the official road stretched for nearly a mile, rolling and flashing on the road, and the shouts shook the sky, it turned out that the dragon had arrived first.

The banlong is connected with a long bench, like this banlong, it is said that it has received a hundred long benches, this length, can go around most of Dongping Village. It is dangerous for the dragon to move, because it is too long, and if the dragon dance does not have enough manpower, it will be bounced out.

The people at the entrance of the village shouted and grabbed the children to get out of the way.

Soon, there were four gongs and drums bent into the embankment road, which was to open the way for the dragon's head, and when they walked halfway to the embankment road, a huge dragon's head bent into Dongping Village.

The gong and drum came to the door of Yudong's house, and Yudong hurriedly lit up three cannon battles, each of which was a two-kick cannon with two "bangs", and even the ground standing felt like it was shaking.

Yudong lit the 1,000-ring whip again, and the crackling sound was deafening. Yan Qingjiang pulled Yuliang to cover her ears, Yushu covered her ears and leaned to the side, Yuxiu also covered her ears and hid to the side, Zhou Ming looked at her dodging appearance, and didn't think that she was afraid to hide.

Soon, the firecrackers were finished, and the dragon head also arrived in front of the courtyard gate, and the dragon head was very high, like Yudong, it had to be two people high. The inside is a bamboo strip that is first tied out of shape, and the outside is pasted with white paper, and then the dragon's whisker and longan are drawn on the paper, and the pair of dragon's eyes are lit with lanterns, which looks like a real dragon's eye and looks down on all beings.

With such a big dragon head, it takes six adult men to carry and dance.

In front of the dragon head, there was a person holding a colored ball to lead the way, and the dragon head was facing the courtyard gate, and someone shouted, "The golden dragon nods, and there is fortune from time to time!" When Yudong heard this, he put a red envelope in front of the golden dragon dragon's mouth.

It is estimated that this group of dragon dancers is planning to collect a few red envelopes at Yudong's house, and the dragon head immediately clicked at the courtyard gate, and the dragon dance team shouted in unison, "Jin Long Er nodded, Tian Ding imported again!"

As soon as these auspicious words came out, there was laughter inside and outside the house, and someone shouted, "This red envelope can't be given, people are still children!"

Some people also shouted, "Hurry up and give a big red envelope, Yudong, you can marry a daughter-in-law this year!"

In the sound of frolicking, Yudong took another red envelope and put it in front of the dragon's mouth.

The group of dragon dancers shouted again, "Jin Longsan nodded, and the champion came to the door!" Apparently they had inquired that Yudong and Yuliang were going to take the exam this year.

Fortunately, Yuxiu prepared a few more Lishi bags, and in response to this good mouthpiece, she directly picked a big one and handed it to Yudong, and Yudong put it in front of the dragon's mouth.

The dragon dancer saw the thickness given by the Yudong market, and the dragon head crossed the incense case and stretched into the courtyard gate, "The golden dragon enters the door, and the prince is out of the palace for generations!"

That's what it means to thank you. The dragon head reached into the courtyard gate and danced a few times, then exited and began to dance around the courtyard wall. The dragon is painted with various story patterns such as the eight immortals crossing the sea, the birthday star holding the peach, etc., and each dragon body is lit with two lights, and the whole dragon shines red around it.

Yuxiu asked Yushu and Yuliang to take the candy tray out and share candy snacks with the adults and children outside, which can be regarded as the meaning of everyone having fun.
