Shangyuan Festival is also called the Lantern Festival, because the first month is the first month of the lunar calendar, the ancients called it Xiaoxiao, and the fifteenth day is the first full moon night of the year, so the fifteenth day of the first month is called the Lantern Festival. Also known as the Little New Year, New Year's Day or Lantern Festival, it is the first important festival after the Spring Festival.

The Lantern Festival of the Great Jin Kingdom is similar to the customs of the Lantern Festival in the world of Cai Wei, all of which are in the night when the moon is high, lighting lanterns and setting off fires, guessing lantern riddles, lion and dragon dances, and the whole country celebrates and is very lively.

Cai Wei and the others guessed the riddles, so they walked, talked and laughed, and went to Cao Jin's restaurant.

On the way, Cai Wei saw a blind old woman, with a *-year-old girl, trembling and begging in the crowd, the weather was very cold, the old man and the girl were dressed shabby and thin, and their lips were purple from the cold.

Because when she first came to this world, there was an old beggar who died because of her, so every time Cai Wei saw a beggar, she had to give a few words, this time she saw such a poor grandfather and grandson, and she couldn't be excluded, she took out her purse, and poured out all the broken silver inside, about seven or eight taels, all of which were stuffed into the hands of the old grandmother.

The old grandmother fumbled, frightened by this windfall, and pulled her granddaughter to kowtow to Cai Wei, but Cai Wei stopped her.

"Old man, didn't you torture me when you worship me at such an age?"

The old grandmother said with tears: "Don't hide from the girl, our grandparents have not eaten for two days, I wanted to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to eat a full meal, who knew that I met the girl, got so much silver, our grandchildren will not have to be hungry and cold in the future, the girl has the grace of regeneration to us, the old woman has nothing to repay, do not kowtow to you, I don't want to go!" ”

Cai Wei helped her, no matter what she said, she would never accept her gift.

When other beggars saw Cai Wei's generous move, they thought they had met the God of Wealth, so they all rushed over and kowtowed to Cai Wei again, especially begging.

Cai Wei's bits and pieces of silver had already been given to the old grandmother, and there was no change around her, she looked at the beggars who had gathered around, and had an idea, and gave them the exquisite lamps she had won at the lantern riddle meeting, these lamps were carefully made by skilled craftsmen, and each lamp was very expensive, and in their hands, it would soon be sold and exchanged for silver.

When she gave these people lamps again, those who were old and had no labor, she picked the best gifts, and those who were younger, but their hands and feet were still neat, picked up the gifts, and as for those who were young and strong, with sound hands and feet but became beggars, let them knock their heads into oil, and Cai Wei didn't pay attention to them.

Huo Yuan had already seen Cai Wei's actions, although he had been talking to Mu Zhongqing, his eyes had been sneaking on Cai Wei's side, and when he saw that Cai Wei was surrounded by a group of beggars, he said to Mu Zhongqing and came over to help her out of the siege.

Cai Wei saw that he was also coming, so she took a few lamps in his hand and gave them to others.

Huo Yuan saw that she was doing a good deed, and he was very supportive, and instructed the little servants around him to go to the money village opposite and exchange a hundred taels of copper plates to come over and give alms to these beggars.

Seeing that he had such a big hand, Cai Wei couldn't help laughing and said: "Since Brother Huo has this spare money, it is better to open a family support hall to support some of the old, young, sick and disabled who have no ability to work, which can be regarded as a matter of boundless merit, if you just reward a lot of silver, the silver will only be taken away by those strong beggars, or used for food and wine, or used for gambling, and it will not reach the hands of those who really need help, so will it not live up to your original intention of pitying the old and the poor?" ”

Huo Yuan listened to it and said with a smile: "This is a good idea, I heard that Sister Wei'er has opened a support hall in Qingyun Town, why don't you also help me plan, I also plan to open one in Lin'an Mansion, so as to help these poor homeless people!" ”

Hearing him say this, Cai Wei was very happy, and said in one mouthful: "It's rare that Brother Huo has this compassionate heart, I have thanked you for these homeless old and young sick and disabled people first." ”

The beggars around them were pleasantly surprised when they heard the conversation between the two, they were all homeless people, they didn't know where they were after eating the last meal and the next meal, they were cold and hungry all day long, they were blinded and miserable, if they could have a support hall to live in, they could have no worries about food and clothing, and they could enjoy their old age without having to live that kind of upside-down life, and even after death, they could have a pair of thin sheets to wrap themselves.

They did not dare to imagine such a good thing, but they heard a beggar from the north say that in the place where he came, there was a girl who had set up a support hall in a small town, and the people in the support hall were fed and clothed every day, and charcoal was burned in winter, and meat was eaten every few days.

They were fascinated by this, and they had been hoping that some good man could also set up a support hall with them, so that these poor people could also have a tile to cover themselves and live a good old age.

God seemed to have heard their prayers, and Jing Zhen had sent the kind-hearted people, and they had heard with their own ears that the merchants were going to give them the same kind of support, and for a moment the beggars were so excited that they cried out and fell to their knees.

"Benefactor, please accept our worship!"

"Benefactor, if you can set up a support hall for us beggars in Lin'an Mansion, we will definitely set up an immortal tablet for you, burn incense for you every day, and pray that you will live a long life, not a thousand years old, and everything will ......go well."

Huo Yuan was taken aback by this battle, and then calmed down again, and said loudly: "The matter of the support hall is still in the planning, as soon as there is news, I will notify you as soon as possible, and please inform the beggars you are familiar with, all who meet the conditions for entering the support hall can move in unconditionally after the support hall is established." ”

"Yes, the little people must obey the benefactor's instructions, thank the benefactor for his mercy!"

"Thank you, benefactor!"

"Thank you, benefactor..."

Looking at the people in the dark place, Huo Yuan said with a smile: "It seems that we have to build a large support hall to accommodate so many people!" ”

Cai Wei said: "When I set up a support hall, I only accepted the old, young, sick, disabled, and people who had no ability to work. ”

Huo Yuan said: "It's still my sister's thoughtfulness, so I'll bother my sister to help me set up the support hall and then leave, okay?" ”

Cai Wei was not in a hurry to enter Beijing, and she owed Huo Yuan a favor, not to mention that running a support hall is a good thing to accumulate virtue and do good, she didn't have any reason to allow it, she didn't need to discuss it with her parents, so she agreed to it.

Du Shi and Mu Zhongqing stood aside, watching Huo Yuan and Cai Wei working together with a lot of discussions, and they cooperated very tacitly, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and their eyes became complicated.

Cai Wei and Huo Yuan sent away the beggars, returned to everyone, and continued to Cao Jin's restaurant with everyone.

While walking, the two discussed the preparation of the support hall, and unconsciously, they walked to the front, leaving everyone far behind.

Du Shi didn't worry about her daughter being alone with the man, so she wanted to catch up with her and go with them, but she was holding the heavy Wu'er and couldn't walk fast.

Mu Zhongqing was fettered by the nagging Cao Jin, unable to chase them, and it was difficult to tell them to stop, so he had to watch his daughter and Huo Gongzi go all the way forward, turning and walking into the distance.

On the way, Cai Wei and Huo Yuan saw a lot of young men and women, some of them were still walking together, and some were alone, looking at each other, as if they were waiting for someone.

Cai Wei understands that the Lantern Festival is also called the ancient Valentine's Day by later generations, because in this era, ordinary women, especially the ladies or small jasper, are not out of the boudoir in three steps, and only when it comes to the Lantern Festival, can they come out to watch the lanterns at night, and even have a tryst with a man.

Looking at the pair of young men and women around him, Huo Yuan seemed to be infected, and said meaningfully: "It is a great pleasure in life to be able to walk under the lanterns with the person you like!" ”

Cai Wei smiled: "It's a pity that Brother Huo's crush is not here, otherwise I would be able to experience a great joy in this life like them!" ”

Huo Yuan said: "How does my sister know that my intended person is not here?" ”

Cai Wei asked rhetorically, "Is she here?" ”

Huo Yuan nodded solemnly, smiling without saying a word.

When Cai Wei saw it, the gossip spirit suddenly rose, and the whole person was in good spirits, staring at him with burning eyes.

"Oh, she's here? In this way, she is from Lin'an Mansion, ha! No wonder you changed your original plan and came here, it turned out that you came to see the person you wanted......"

Seeing her excited look, Huo Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said warmly: "That's right!" ”

Cai Wei said "wow", and then said: "I can't imagine that Brother Huo is quite romantic, hehe, if you can make Brother Huo so interested, she must be a great beauty who has captivated the country and the city!" ”

Looking at her little face that was slightly red from the cold and those big sparkling eyes, Huo Yuan nodded in affirmation: "She is very beautiful, as beautiful as a fairy in the sky, in my eyes, she is the most beautiful woman in the world!" ”

"Wow, that's so beautiful!"

After Cai Wei was shocked, she became worried about Huo Yuan.

"Brother Huo, then what are you waiting for, don't you come to her house to propose, such a beautiful girl, there must be a lot of people thinking about it, in case you start late and are robbed by others, you regret it!"

Huo Yuan waited for Cai Wei's words, the hands hanging by his side couldn't help but clench, and even the walking posture was a little tight, and his tone was as soft as possible: "Don't hide it from my sister, I have the heart to go to the door to propose, but the girl I want is a very assertive person, I'm afraid that she doesn't want to, I will annoy her like this, and since ancient times, the marriage has been the order of my parents and the words of the matchmaker, I don't want to ask the girl directly, I'm afraid that I will surprise her, so dilemma, day and night, but I can't move forward for a while......"

He said, laughing at himself, slightly reducing the embarrassment, such a look appeared above Huo Yuan, who had always been calm and elegant, Cai Weidao felt extremely cute, and couldn't help but stop, looking at Huo Yuan with bright eyes, knowing that he looked at him with a slightly pink ear, and his expression was even more embarrassed, so he turned his head and laughed.

"Brother Huo, you are too unconfident, an excellent man like you who has both ability and kindness, maybe she has long been in love with you, but because the girl's face has not been revealed, maybe, people are now waiting for you to propose, but you are afraid of your hands and feet, and you are holding back, in case the girl's parents promise her to another family, you are a bad fate, and you can't regret it!"

Huo Yuan listened to her words, tried his best to maintain his calm on the surface, but his heart was already excited and anticipating, coughed lightly, and asked, "Sister, am I really as good as you say?" ”

"Of course, is the answer the best man I've ever met, really!"

In order to encourage him and give him courage, Cai Wei spared no effort to praise him.

"Brother Huo is frank, honest and kind, and has a good ability to make money to support his family, that girl will definitely like you, you can go with confidence..."

After listening to Cai Wei's advice, Huo Yuan let out a long breath and said with a clear smile: "Thank you sister for reminding me that my husband should not hesitate and hesitate so much when walking between heaven and earth, otherwise if I miss the good fate, I will regret it for the rest of my life, and I will go to her father and mother tonight to propose marriage!"
