She wasn't afraid, not at all...... Thinking about her, a person who used to crowd the subway during rush hour every day, how could she be frightened by this little flow of people in front of her? After more than ten years of experience in crowding the subway, she has also summed up a very effective method......

Qiu Chen didn't say much, only tilted his head and gave him a calm smile.

Qin Zheng grabbed her shoulders and walked steadily with her, while whispering comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, after this intersection, it would be good if there was a fork over there and a forbidden army to maintain!" ”

However, after a while, the flow of people who had just come and gone almost rushed in one direction, Qiu Chen's whole body was held in Qin Zheng's arms, his big body wrapped around her, and she was tightly guarded with all her beards and tails, and Qin Yi was surrounded by Qin Yi with five or six guards guarding the surrounding crowd, so that Qiu Chen and the two of them would not work too hard in the crowd.

Qiu Chen leaned on Qin Zheng's arms and resisted the urge to laugh - she suddenly remembered that on the Spring Festival evening one year, the sketch 'Out of the Palace' performed by the tall and small-eyed cross talk actor, and more than once someone teased with 'Out of the Palace' and 'Out of the Palace'...... At this time, she didn't dare to be so casual, that was a great crime of disrespect!

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows and laughed, nodded again and again, and turned around to leave with Qiu Chen in his arms: "Okay, the holy driver is about to leave the palace, we should also go back, otherwise we will delay the drama dragon!" ”

She stood here for a while, actually to dip the fragrance of books and ink?

The two of them talked, but they didn't go down to the lamp over there, they stopped and stood outside a lamp, stopped and looked at it for a moment, Qiu Chen looked up and smiled: "After the fragrance of books and ink, let's go!" ”

Qiu Chen blinked, always feeling that this matter was not very reliable. At this time, there are no fingerprints and no DNA recognition technology, so if someone impersonates this signature, I am afraid that there is nothing I can do, right? Or according to the handwriting, as everyone knows, there are only a few calligraphy in the world, and everyone practices calligraphy is not Ou, Liu, Wang, Zhao, or Yan...... It's not just one person who writes the same handwriting.

Qin Zheng looked down at her and smiled slightly: "This is not a requirement...... However, whoever writes an article on the lantern will come to check the results the next day, and the person who comes out on top will naturally be named! ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Are these people who write articles all famous at that time?" ”

Qiu Chen was slightly puzzled, and looked up at Qin Zheng, Qin Zheng said with a smile: "Originally, the articles of the previous top list were copied on the silk yarn and made into lanterns to hang for people to enjoy. Later, at some point, someone wrote his article on a red gauze lamp and hung it up...... At first, people may have wanted to be in the limelight, but they didn't expect that after the article was read by many people, they either praised or criticized, and it actually benefited a lot, and then some people gradually followed suit and hung the lantern that wrote their own articles and poems...... Later, some scholars simply raised funds to buy blank red gauze lamps to hang them, and prepared paper and pencil and other things for people to use...... This is not only convenient for scholars who want to show their articles and poems, but also looks much more neat and beautiful. Later, there is a small box under the head of these lanterns, if you think it is good after reading the article, you can throw a copper coin into it, and there are naturally people in the Temple of Literature who clean up from time to time and count the number of copper coins under the lamp...... The three articles that get the most money every year will be engraved into glass lanterns and hung with the lanterns of those who are at the top of the list. Oh, look at the lanterns on the high pole, the top is the lantern of the top of the list, and the lower layer is the lantern article that has won the first prize over the years...... For those who win the first place, the Temple of Literature will also engrave their names on the list over there......"

Different from other places, under these lanterns, most of them are scholars and literati in long robes and scarves, most of them tilt their heads, staring at the lanterns, or groaning, or thinking, or admiring or despising......

While the two walked, they unconsciously came to the front of the Confucian Temple, where several high poles had been erected high, ropes were tied between the poles, and a red gauze lantern was hung on the rope, and the stars were lit up into a star lake. There are more than a dozen glass palace lamps hanging on the middle and highest high pole, which are much more delicate and larger than other red gauze lamps, as if the bright moon is guarded by the stars in the middle.

When the night darkened, the lights lit up, like stars sprinkled all over the street, twinkling, fainting into patches of brightness and warmth.

The two of them didn't speak for a while......

She, exactly what he needed, looked for years ...... He was lucky to find this Cunzài, who was very different from ordinary women, and successfully married her back, so that he could stay with him for a long time.

He seemed to understand a little, and understood why he was so desperate to hold her in his arms after many years of being unintentional and unintentional to her...... Too dark and bloody past, so that he is far more than ordinary people yearn for a quiet and peaceful life, this woman seems to be thin body, but there is such a tough and brave soul, no matter what situation she finds herself in, she will not compromise or be discouraged, will always find a suitable way, let herself and the people around her live better, rich, happy, happy and happy......

He liked the feeling, almost relying on nostalgia...... If he could, he even wanted to be by her side like this, just to hold up a piece of the sky for her and the children, sheltering from the wind, rain, snow and frost......

Qin Zheng subconsciously tightened his arm...... He couldn't believe what he would have done without her. Can you still face a qiē so calmly and calmly? He lowered his eyes and looked at the person in his arms, such a delicate person, with a slight smile, slowly telling something, but it always made him feel happy and happy, let him relax involuntarily, forget all kinds of dark fears when he was a child, forget the heavy bloody atmosphere of countless battlefield battles, and forget all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues that may be around him...... It seems that where she is, it is a warm and peaceful.

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen raised his eyes to look at Qin Zheng again, squinted his eyes with a smile and said, "You don't know, do you?" I didn't do that first recipe myself. Give it directly to others, and then distribute the dividends. Fortunately, the Rejuvenation Hall was not greedy for that little cheap prescription, and after that, I cooperated with them more and more...... At that time, if I had changed to a different pharmacy, maybe I would not be able to sell medicine, and I would not have the money to buy food and rice...... My kids and I don't know where we are! ”

“…… You may not know that medicinal herbs are all over the mountain, but why there are almost no people who make a fortune by digging medicinal herbs. At that time, I dug up two medicinal herbs and sold them, and my family had been out of rice for several days, and I only relied on half a bag of potatoes given by Lan Ying...... The medicinal herbs I brought that day had to be sold, and they had to be sold for a high price...... The two big, two small, and four mouths in the family are waiting for me to sell medicine and buy rice to eat...... It was also a coincidence, it happened that the concoction master of the Rejuvenation Hall came out and said a few words, and I caught the flaw and refuted it, and then, attracted the attention of the shopkeeper Chen, accepted my medicine at a relatively high price, and took a prescription to cooperate with them......"

Qiu Chen raised his eyes and shook his head with a smile, and said lightly: "It's not embarrassing......

Qin Zheng lowered his head and responded softly, "What?" The people of the Rejuvenation Hall still felt sorry for you at the beginning? ”

It's just that she is used to self-improvement and hard work, so her grades have been taken out one by one, but she has never married herself!

Accustomed to isolation, accustomed to walking alone, this time she didn't even have time to be gloomy and sad, her internship directly followed her mentor to do the project, and she traveled almost all over the country, and then, when she was in graduate school, she just continued to study the subject familiarly...... As she gradually made some achievements, she gradually had friends around her, and more and more eyes paid attention to her......

For a time, the ugly duckling almost became a little swan...... Of course, some people secretly say that she can't become a phoenix when she flies on the branches, and even alludes to her disgraceful achievements......

At that time, she was only a teenager, and she was treated like that, and she was also sad and sad, but she was not discouraged. She simply put all her energy into her studies, and was the first in the class to obtain the fourth and sixth level certificates, and began to follow the tutor to do projects in her sophomore year, and took the second degree...... When her junior year was promoted to her senior year, when other students were busy and anxious about where to go after graduation, she had already been recommended by her supervisor and had the opportunity to go straight to graduate school, and it was a master's and doctoral study!

When I was in middle school, I didn't think much that when I went to college, countless smart and high-achieving students from all over the country gathered together, and without the aura of outstanding academic performance, she, who was poor and had no more than half of her own dependence, naturally fell to the inferior. Smart people don't sneer and despise her face-to-face, but they vaguely isolate her from small groups.

Although equality has been shouted for more than 100 years in modern times, there are still all kinds of invisible hierarchies in reality.

She remembered not the struggles of this life, but the experiences of modern times.

She stretched out her arm, took advantage of the cover of the big man, hugged Qin Zheng's waist, put herself into his arms again, and said in a low voice: "When you say this, it reminds me of the scene when I went to the Rejuvenation Hall to sell medicine......

Qiu Chen was slightly stunned, looking at the high-spirited man beside him, but he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Qin Zheng looked at his sly wife who was smiling slightly, suddenly shook his head with a smile, and was silent for a moment before he said in a low voice: "No mask, because the army under my jurisdiction is the most desperate and not afraid of death...... After a few battles, no one dared to laugh at me and look down on me anymore! ”

Speaking of this, Qiu Chen paused, turned his eyes to look at Qin Zheng's face, and said with a faint smile: "You were so young when you first entered the barracks...... Did you wear a mask too? ”

Qiu Chen glanced at him, then turned his head to look at the face in his hand, and said with a smile: "It is said that the appearance of the King of Lanling is extremely handsome, and when the two armies fought, his face was too handsome and was often despised and not powerful enough, so he chose a particularly fierce and hideous mask to wear on his face, and every time he went out to fight, he showed people with the image of the mask, and gradually, his mask image was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and every time the enemy was terrified, he was defeated like a tide......

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded slightly, but he didn't quite understand why his wife mentioned this.

Regardless of the joy and excitement of the vendor, after Qiu Chen left the noodle stall, he asked for a blue-faced and fanged noodle from Zeng Daniu's hand, and raised it to Qin Zheng's face for a gesture, and then, walking forward with Qin Zheng's arms, she laughed in a low voice: "Have you heard the story of King Lanling?" ”

The noodles on his stall are all hand-carved by himself, and he basically has no capital, so his noodles are not expensive...... Festivals such as New Year's Day and New Year's Eve can sell one or two taels of silver every day. This time, he sold more than a dozen noodles when it was dark, and he was still happy, maybe he could sell it for three taels of silver tonight...... Unexpectedly, when people rewarded them casually, it was such a big piece of silver......

"Huh?" The little vendor was a little incredulous, stunned in surprise, and waited for a long time for him to come back to his senses, looked at the two nobles who had long since disappeared, and then looked at the silver horn in his hand, stomped his foot violently, took a breath of cold air, and then smirked.

Zeng Da Niu, who was left behind, shook the noodles in his hand, and said with a smile: "You can do business with peace of mind, that's how Mrs. rewarded you!" ”

"Hey, madam...... The peddler turned around with a hand and a silver in the other, but saw that the two nobles had already gone far away, and hurriedly greeted him.

Qiu Chen shook his head with a smile, turned around, leaned into Qin Zheng's arm, raised his feet and left the noodle stall, and walked into the flow of people shuttling back and forth.

"Ah, madam, wait a minute, the little one weighed the silver and looked for money with you......" The peddler's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at the silver horn, but he still looked for the silver and prepared to weigh the silver to find the money.

Qiu Chen smiled and nodded in thanks, and naturally the guards who followed behind him picked it up, Qiu Chen took out a small piece of silver horn from his sleeve pocket, and it looked like he was five or six dollars when he touched it, and handed it over with a smile.

The peddler happily took the hemp rope and strung the mask, handed it over with both hands, and said with a smile on his face: "Madam, this is the noodle you chose...... There are twelve in total, one is fifteen, you can give one hundred and fifty or seventy wen! ”

For these things, Qiu Chen likes them very much. She handpicked a dozen masks.

The Nu opera mask is carved out of wood, and a variety of exaggerated lines, strong color patterns and patterns are drawn, it does not look very exquisite, but it is simple and far-reaching, hold it in your hand, as if you can see the ancestors dancing on festivals, mysterious and enthusiastic.

His wife is undoubtedly a good mother, and even when the children are not around, the first thing that comes to mind is what they see.

Qin Zheng smiled at his wife's smiling face, nodded, and hugged Qiu Chen and walked towards the stall.

Shaking his head, throwing away all kinds of strange thoughts in his heart, Qiu Chen turned his eyes to look at Qin Zheng: "The children must like it!" ”

I was surprised how I could think of something so far ago, and I was also surprised that on this New Year's Eve, with my lover by my side, how could I think of such a story...... It's a bit out of place.

Qiu Chen came back to his senses suddenly, only to realize that he had been staring at the stall selling masks for a long time.

"Like that? How many are we going to pick? Qin Zheng whispered in her ear.

Compared with the persistent and almost sick princess, she admires the love on "The Dream of the Covered Bridge" more. Love is sinless, but it cannot be built on the pain of others. Love is precious, and it is rare not to forget your responsibilities and obligations. The heroine met her lover, but chose to stay, stay in her original life, accompany her husband to grow old, and watch the children grow up...... Finally, after she died, she left her last words and asked the children to scatter her ashes on the covered bridge they met, and at the end of her life, she finally gave herself back a freedom and followed in the footsteps of her lover - the hero died first, and the ashes were scattered on the covered bridge.

Sometimes, love is beautiful, but reality is cruel!

After walking a distance, Qiu Chen saw a stall selling opera masks on the side of the street, and couldn't help but think of a costume TV series he had watched, where the girl princess secretly went out of the palace, and it was with such a mask that she met the man she liked...... She doesn't remember what happened after that, or she didn't watch the TV series at all, and the princess in history forced the man to divorce his wife and marry her, but she didn't get the love and happiness she wanted.

Raising his eyes and chuckling and nodding slightly, he leaned himself into his arms again, and slowly moved with his footsteps, with the flow of people, looking at the lanterns gradually lit up on both sides of the street, looking at the smiling faces of the rich and ordinary pedestrians, and looking at the vendors shouting on both sides of the street...... There is no need to say anything, and there is no need to do anything, in this way, it is enough for her!

Qiu Chen didn't have much expectation for the lights of this era, she had seen too many bright lights in her previous life, and the light of the stars and moon in the sky had already dimmed in the bright lights that had been running all night. It was this rare opportunity to walk on the street, accompanied by people around her, and the two of them walked around casually while talking, which gave her a little taste of a feeling of love and dating.

Qin Zheng naturally stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around Qiu Chen's shoulder, and held Qiu Chen in his arms with his big coat, and said in a low voice while raising his feet: "Let's go, it's still early, and the holy car won't leave the palace until it's dark...... The lights here are not very interesting, and there are not many people, but they are suitable for casual walking. ”

The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk!

At this moment, there were no more children struggling with energy in the middle, and the two of them inexplicably felt a little dizzy. Inexplicably, a sour poem surfaced from the depths of my mind-

It seems that they have never gone shopping with the two of them...... Except at night, there are very few opportunities for two people to be alone!

Seeing that the children couldn't see it when they went up the stairs, Qiu Chen turned his head to meet Qin Zheng's gaze, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Walking under the lantern shed of the Jingbei Hou Mansion, Old Man Mu took Brother Afu Amanyun to the lantern shed. After a while, the Tang family and Yiheng's family came to see the lights. Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng didn't go upstairs, and there were only two people left.

Qin Zheng was ordered to go back to the mansion to think about it, but he was not cut off his title, and Qiu Chen was also crowned the county lord, so the location of this lantern shed was not affected at all this year, and it was still ranked behind several national mansions.

A few days in advance, Ping An took people to set a seat in the Star Picking Building, the family leisurely walked around the street for more than an hour, ate in the Star Picking Building, in the twilight quadrangle, out of the Star Picking Building, with the flow of people all the way into the lamp market, all the way to the lantern shed outside the palace gate.

Speaking of which, Qiu Chen has been in Beijing for two years, but he was confined at home last year and couldn't go out, and this year is the first time to visit the light market in Beijing.

In the morning, Qiu Chen took care of the housework, and went to the greenhouse behind with Qin Zheng, until lunchtime, had lunch in the half-acre garden, took a few children to sleep well, got up, cleaned up, and took Old Man Mu out of the car together.

During the Lantern Festival, Qin Zheng sent someone to Liang Guogong to say hello.

Qiu Chen followed Qin Zheng and Brother Yun all the way over, looking at the riddles on the lamp, the riddles of those girls and maids, although the words were crude and simple, the handwriting was crooked, and even there were a lot of typos, but it was more vivid and more life-like, Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng and his wife lingered beside these red gauze lanterns, and occasionally guessed the riddles on the lanterns. Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng couldn't guess all of these seemingly simple riddles, which made several servants who were out of riddles complacent, and after a long time, they often said that they were once masters of guessing riddles, and even the marquis and his wife couldn't guess the riddles.

With Afu Aman's mention yì, and Ping'an and Mama Chen's all-out arrangements, the lantern festival on the 14th night of the first month of the Marquis Mansion in Jingbei was very colorful, lively and festive, and more successful than expected.

Ah Fu is so old, he was held in his mother's arms in front of almost the whole house, and he was a little uncomfortable, but he didn't break free, he only blushed slightly, but his eyes looked at Qin Zheng brightly, and then at his mother, and nodded again and again.

Qiu Chen nodded again and again with a smile in his eyes, turned his head, stretched out his hand to take Ah Fu into his arms, touched Ah Fu's head and face, and said with endless love: "Good son, have you heard your father's evaluation?" In the future, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, and continue to work hard! ”

Qin Zheng nodded with a smile: "Well, it's not just grown up...... The books of these years have not been read in vain, and they are meticulous enough to see things and do things, and it can be seen that tonight's events are really heartfelt! ”

"As you said, Ah Fu has grown up!"

Qiu Chen looked at Ah Fu with surprise in his eyes, blinked, and was full of joy and relief. With a sinking shoulder, Qiu Chen turned his head to look over, and happened to meet Qin Zheng's relieved gaze, and the two looked at each other and smiled sincerely.

Speaking of which, not to mention Qiu Chen, even Qin Zheng's face showed a look of surprise, and he listened intently to Ah Fu and continued: "My mother's sale of objects is different from them, not for this little profit, but to add some objects to increase the excitement and festivity, so my son let his sister sell it at a profit, and he is not worried that it will implicate those girls and mothers-in-law, and will not make them unprofitable!" ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Ah Fu's eyes, then he thought about it, and said with a little hesitation: "Although those girls say that they take some needlework, thread, and yarn to sell, they are just small things to do in their spare time, and the number will not be much...... The mother is the most merciful and loving the poor, gentle and generous, presumably the mother let people bring things to sell, she has thought of these, and the things she sells will definitely not clash with them......"

The smile in Qiu Chen's eyes deepened, and he continued to ask: "Today, those girls and mothers-in-law take needlework and thread to sell by hand, and they should naturally be rewarded for their hard work. Have you ever wondered if if you didn't let your sister Galli sell her goods, would you implicate them, so that they wouldn't get the money they deserved, and they wouldn't get the remuneration they deserved? ”

Ah Fu looked at his mother, blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "The shops and workshops that my mother said are different from the things of this day...... The shop workshop is the work of the merchants, and the pursuit of profit is the foundation of the merchants, just like the harvest of the peasants, which is the result of their hard work, so it should not be called 'competing for profit with the people'. ”

So, she smiled and asked Ah Fu, "Don't you make profits from the people in the house...... If one day, I ask you to manage your family's shop and workshop, will you also think that the price should be lowered, or you should sell things at the cost of your money...... If the profit is increased, is it competing with the people for profit? ”

However, Qiu Chen was a little surprised, Ah Fu, a nine-year-old child, was able to have such an idea, and he also knew that 'not competing with the people for profit', this open-mindedness, this generosity, but it is very insightful. However, Qiu Chen also reminded himself in his heart that it was a good thing to be so generous, but he should also be careful that Ah Fu was too stubborn.

Aman stopped laughing, looked at his brother with blinked eyes, tilted his head to think about it, and then nodded happily.

Ah Man immediately slapped his slap and jumped up, but Ah Fu frowned slightly, watching his sister cheer and jump and then quieted down, Ah Fu reached out and pulled Ah Man, and said in a low voice: "Sister, I think, let's not think about making money...... If we sell them too high, they can't afford them, and they will hurt my mother's kindness. Officials do not compete with the people for profit, since we are the masters, we can't be too harsh...... It's still not good to make such money! ”

Qiu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and said with a smile: "If you sell too much, even if you earn it yourself, I don't want it!" ”

Ah Fu Aman stopped laughing, looked at each other, and Ah Man asked with crooked eyebrows: "Mother, what if you sell too much?" ”

Ah Man smiled and approached Qiu Chen's arms, hugged Qiu Chen's neck, rubbed and kissed, Qiu Chen reached out and took Ah Fu into his arms, touched his eldest son's head, and said with a smile: "You two don't be too happy too early, I can't leave all those things left, at least half of them have to be sold...... In addition, I'll ask Qingxing to give you a reserve price later, and you can't sell it at a loss! ”

The two children nervously waited for their punishment, but they didn't expect that this would be the end of the day...... Stunned for a moment, Ah Man turned back to look at his brother Ah Fu with a smile on his face, and the brother and sister looked at each other opposite each other, and laughed at the same time.

Touching Aman's head, Qiu Chen turned his face to look at Ah Fu, who was standing aside obediently, his eyes were focused on his sister, and smiled: "This matter, Aman's idea, but you didn't stop it, and you must have helped a lot, so both of you brothers and sisters must be punished...... Well, let's do it, when Qingxing and the others come back, the two of you will be responsible for guarding the stall for me! ”

Qiu Chen was not disgusted by these playful stalls, and she didn't intend to punish anyone, she was just a little curious about how the children thought of this, so she asked. But I didn't expect the two children to be so nervous and scramble to take responsibility...... She really doesn't know whether to rejoice that the brother and sister have a good relationship, or to sigh her distrust in the hearts of the children, is she such a stubborn parent in the hearts of the children?

Ah Man looked cautious, but he was completely frank and did not hide the reason clearly, and after speaking, he once again reaffirmed that he was responsible and washed his brother out......

As he spoke, he turned to Qiu Chen, took Qiu Chen's hand, lowered his head and said, "Mother, I think that many people in the house are illiterate, and I am afraid that I can't guess riddles, so I can only watch others guess riddles, which is too boring...... I remembered what we had seen when we went out...... These are quick and easy to prepare, and they don't cost much, and they just make people lively...... The needles and threads that the girls took were proposed by a few girls who wanted to earn a little money, and I thought it was good, so I agreed to them...... These are all daughter's ideas, and they have nothing to do with my brother. ”

Ah Man looked at Qiu Chen's face, and then took Ah Fu's hand and said, "Brother, you don't have to take responsibility for me, it's obviously my idea......"

Almost without thinking, Ah Fu said, "I." ”

Qin Zheng nodded gently, Qiu Chen took a step forward, leaned over to hold the hands of the two children, and saw that both of them were wearing rabbit skin gloves, and they were warm and not cold when they reached out to touch them, so they were relieved. Laughing, he picked up the two children, pointed to the stalls and asked, "Whose idea was this?" ”

"Father, mother!" The brother and sister of Afu Aman saluted in a proper manner.

Afu Aman hurried over one step ahead of time, and was watching a few family members hang lanterns on the trees and under the eaves corridor with long poles. Seeing Qiu Chen and Qin Zheng coming over from a distance, surrounded by everyone, Ah Fu Aman gave an order and hurried over to greet him.

Qingxing is a fun-loving person, as soon as she heard this, she understood Madame's plan, and immediately agreed with a smile, ordered Tianqing and Yufei to follow, and hurriedly returned to Mu'en Courtyard to get something.

Qiu Chen turned his head to look at Qin Zheng in some surprise, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled at the same time. Qiu Chen turned around and instructed Qing Xing: "Go and get some of our homemade pills, soap, and ointment." ”

Qiu Chen mentioned the lantern and guessed the riddle, so he asked Ah Fu to arrange it, and then Ah Man also pulled Ah Fu and muttered something to himself, and several adults took a laissez-faire attitude and ignored it. Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the back garden where the lanterns were hung, I found that the two children not only hung lanterns and pasted lantern riddles, but also arranged rings, pitchers and other stalls. The girls took the embroidery, the ties, and all kinds of jewelry items to be sold, and also set up a few stalls in one place, attracting groups of girls to stop and linger and choose carefully.

In the Jingbei Hou Mansion, which has always been low-key and quiet, on the fourteenth night of the first lunar month, it was a lively and jubilant mansion.

The capital starts to put lights on the 14th day of the first lunar month. The annual lantern market will be open for three days from this day, but because various official parades and celebrations are only held on the first day of the New Year's Day, most people go out to enjoy the lanterns on the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
