On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the door was opened to worship the God of Wealth, and the kitchen road was officially opened after the New Year, and the guys all came back to work. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Seeing that it is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in order to make the business of the kitchen road to a higher level, the merchant thought of a way to guess the lantern riddle, and customized three hundred lanterns in the morning, hanging in the high hanging shed at the entrance of the kitchen road, has been covering half of the street, from the little rabbit to the nasturtium, a thousand postures are wonderful! The front of the kitchen road is bright!

Each lantern is written with a riddle on a piece of paper, each guess correctly, you can get a small wooden card, with this small wooden card can get a small snack carefully made by the kitchen, if you don't want to have a snack, you can accumulate a small wooden card, if you collect five, you can change a small bronze medal, with a small bronze medal can be exchanged for a third-class table.

And so on, if you can guess the 125 riddles, you can get the highest small silver medal, and with the small silver medal, you can exchange for a meal of the highest grade in the kitchen, which is really cost-effective!

On the fifteenth day, when the lights were in hand, almost all the people on the streets of the West Market poured into the kitchen road, whether they knew the words or those who were illiterate, they all crowded under the lantern shed to guess riddles, or frowned and bowed their heads in contemplation, or looked around to discuss with friends, and from time to time they could hear one or two laughs that suddenly realized it. The people who guessed the riddle talked loudly, and the voices were loud. The door of the kitchen road was squeezed into a flood, and the popularity was unmatched for a while.

A few businessmen looked out from the window on the second floor, and only saw a black oppressive human head, which was a wonder on this brightly lit Chang'an Street!

"Green Sleeves! Let's go shopping in the streets later! There are a lot of people on the streets today, and there are sure to be a lot of fun things! ”

The businessmen looked at the dense pedestrians on the street, and they also had some yearning in their hearts, there are not many opportunities for such a lively and fun! I remember the last time I went to the market with Chu Yao more than two years ago, I didn't buy a few things, not to mention, and I was unlucky enough to be hijacked by Hu Duge, which is really unfavorable!

This Shangyuan Festival, even the emperor will have fun with the people in Wufeng Tower, but he can't let it go anymore!

She was optimistic about it early in the morning, out of the West Market turned two corners of the Suzaku Street, and now it has already set up a tall lamp tower, all kinds of exquisitely shaped, well-made lanterns one after another, very beautiful, some imperial palace lamps are also mixed in it. There are also some food stalls at the mouth of the alley connected to the other squares on the side of the street, and when you are tired of playing, you can also eat some Chang'an snacks, and you can say how beautiful it is!

"I'm afraid I'm going to get out the back door later. This guessing method of yours has attracted half of the people in Chang'an City! ”

Li Mo looked at Shang Shang half-jokingly, and remembered how she looked when she racked her brains to think of those riddles. None of the riddles she came out of were serious, and they were about to die of laughter! If it weren't for Su Minzhi and Su Ruizhi, who couldn't stand it, and looked for a few riddles in "Analects" and "University", I was afraid that all the three hundred lanterns customized would be written by her on those ridiculous things!

"Leave the store to me! Isn't it just a riddle? Let's go out and join the song! I am also slack and slack, and I am so busy that I have to rest for two days a year."

Su Ruizhi on the side saw that the businessman looked eager, and the green sleeves were also a little eager to try. It is a folk custom to go on songs, and even the emperor will send ministers and princes to participate, and it doesn't matter if they go out to play.

"Brother, you're so nice! The merchant shouted excitedly at Ruizhi, turned around and pulled up the green sleeves and went back to the room to change his clothes. When I sing today, I have to wear a hundred pleated skirts, and I have to look like a blooming peony to be beautiful enough!

The Shangyuan Lantern Festival, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, has been a day for the emperor to enjoy with the people.

On this day every year, Chang'an City is always lit up with lights and singing all night. The eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law will wear colorful pleated skirts and enjoy the lights and songs in the streets and alleys of the city, attracting the gentlemen to chase after them. It is only on this day that everyone will forget their identities and hold hands to sing and dance together to celebrate the festival!

By the time Li Mo and the merchants, Green Sleeves and Su Minzhi finally squeezed into Suzaku Street, Suzaku Street was already overcrowded. Everyone's face is full of joy, and some people wear the masks of street vendors, or gods or ghosts walking on the street, which is eye-catching!

"That's a lot of people! The merchant looked at the sea of people in front of him with a sigh on his face. Quan Chang'an is afraid that there is no one who stays at home!

"Isn't it? It's the Shangyuan Festival! The green sleeves pulled Su Minzhi's sleeve, and he couldn't help but feel dizzy in front of him.

Although it is not the first time that Green Sleeves has spent the Yuan Festival in Chang'an compared with businessmen, it still feels maladaptive every time. I don't know where these people came out of nowhere, and they will fill the wide Chang'an Avenue!

"Do you have to keep up? Don't get separated, where are you going to find you? "

Su Minzhi firmly grabbed the green sleeves, and the four of them slowly moved forward with the crowd in the crowd, and the lanterns above their heads flashed with yellow or red light, illuminating the entire Vermilion Bird Street like a dream, and under the moonlight, it was like a fairyland on earth!

The merchant was pulling Li Mo to look at a unique lantern, and suddenly heard the sound of drums on the Wufeng Tower at the end of the long street, and after a few deep drums, a figure wearing an official hat appeared on the city tower.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: Shangyuan Festival, the whole country celebrates! On this good night~~~~ When you dance with music, I should have fun with the people! Chin this! The high-pitched and loud voice elongated the tone and recited the emperor's holy decree.

At the end of a lengthy decree, the celebrant withdrew. The crowd burst into cheers.

I don't know where it started, all the people on the street lined up in a long row and held hands, singing Shangyuan songs in their mouths, stepping on the rhythm of the beat, and singing and dancing, the movements were neat and uniform, and it was very beautiful!

There are even women living in the same workshop in a circle holding hands, but in the circle there is a young man with red lips and white teeth, rushing left and right and not being able to get out of the circle, and the people around him laugh. The boy was not annoyed, and waited for the women to finish the dance, and then gave a big salute, and the women opened the circle and giggled and let him go.

The businessmen looked at it from the side and laughed in amazement, they never imagined that Datang still had such a custom! Where is this like the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago? It's clearly the Rio de Janeiro Carnival of the future!

Li Mo carefully protected the businessmen by his side, and when he stood in the carnival crowd and looked around, he saw that the green sleeves pulled Su Minzhi, who had already joined the crowd of singing, waving his long sleeves and singing and dancing with the girls, Su Minzhi also danced his arms with each other, and the two of them looked at each other and laughed when they advanced and retreated together, but there was quite a tacit understanding!

The merchant saw that the skill was itchy, and pulled his hand to Li Mo and said, "Let's go jump too!" Standing here and staring at me! After speaking, without waiting for Li Mo to object, he pulled his hand and pulled Li Mo into the crowd.

Fortunately, the dance movements of the song are extremely simple, as long as the feet are not messy, there will be no mess, the merchant is familiar with the dance skills, and Li Mo is a martial arts master. After following the crowd, the two of them danced skillfully, and followed the crowd in circles, left and right, and danced so that their faces were red!

When the women who sang together saw that they were dancing well, they all worked harder, spinning, lowering their waists, and lifting their legs in a variety of ways!

It wasn't until he jumped to the corner between Suzaku Street and the West Market with the crowd that the merchant finally couldn't bear it anymore, retreated from the crowd, leaned against the wall on the side, and smiled from ear to ear while panting.

"It's fun! I haven't been happier in a long time! The merchant easily took a breath before he spoke.

"After dancing for so long, I thought you wouldn't be tired! Li Mo smiled faintly.

He has been holding hands with merchants when he dances, and there are too many people on the street during the Shangyuan Festival, and sometimes it is not very safe.

"Huh! There's a Lantern Festival seller over there, let's go eat some Lantern Festival! By the way, wait for Minzhi's brother and Green Sleeves." Shang Shang waved his hand in high spirits, pulled Li Mo and walked through the crowd!

Su Minzhi and the team of Green Sleeves Jump seemed to be the opposite of their team, and when the merchant stopped, the two had long since disappeared, but fortunately, the two stayed together, so there was no need to worry.

Behind the stall selling Lantern Festival, there is a woman, through the heat in the pot, I can't see my eyebrows clearly, but on the strip-shaped table, the Lantern Festival is rubbed round, like a snow ball.

In front of the three half-height small tables, there were already two tables of guests, and only one table was left with two empty seats.

"Eldest sister, let's have two bowls of Lantern Festival." The merchant squeezed through the crowd and walked to him, saying to the woman.

"What do you want for the girl? I have jujube paste stuffing, osmanthus filling, and lotus paste stuffing here." The proprietress took a long spoon and fished it in the pot without raising her head.

"Uh~~ Let's have a little bit of everything, big sister, you can put it at will! Tilting his head and thinking about it, Shang Shang felt that since he loved to eat, it would be better to have a little bit of everything!

"Great! Girl, wait a minute, it'll be right away! "

"Isn't this the Susle of Changyin Yuan? It's really Yaxing! "

The merchant turned around and was about to pull Li Mo to the empty table to sit down, but he heard a cold female voice with a mocking voice.

When I looked through the light of the lanterns on the street, I saw a woman wearing a hood and dressed in a fashionable style sitting in the shadow under the lamp, and a slender bead chain hung down from the step of her hair, shining brightly in the lamplight.

Shang Shang couldn't see her face clearly for a while, but felt that the voice was quite familiar.

Of the two men and one woman next to him, the two men knew each other. One is the widow of the horse house, and the other is the third prince Li Ke!

Li Mo, who was behind Shang Shang, held his voice and bowed slightly: "Li Mo see King Wu, Princess Wu, Princess Gaoyang, and Master Horse!" "

"No need to be polite! Li Ke looked the two up and down, and after a while, Fang said: "Are the two of you meeting to participate in the singing event?" "

"Don't dare, Li Mo was just ordered to protect Su Sile's safety." Without waiting for the businessman to speak, Li Mo suddenly opened his mouth.

"Oh! King Wu looked at the two of them again, and the light in his eyes looked a little dim in the moonlight.

Shang Shang glanced at Li Mo strangely, and didn't understand why he denied King Wu's words, could it be that there was something wrong with them meeting to sing?

"It's better to meet by chance, since you meet the two here, it's better to eat the Lantern Festival together and travel to Chang'an together! Gao Yang, who was sitting in the shadows, suddenly said loudly. She didn't believe this Li Mo's nonsense! These two people obviously have a personal relationship! She Gao Yang can't do anything else, but looking at this child's private affairs is accurate.

Shang Shang's heart struck. She has no relationship with Gao Yang, Gao Yang was already married when she entered the palace, and the only time the two met was because of Li Jing's illness, it can be said that the two of them have a grudge. Gao Yang invited to travel together at this time, doesn't it feel strange?

"Lan Xin! But I'm looking for you, let my brother find it! "

Just when the merchant didn't know how to answer, Su Minzhi's voice came from the entrance of the alley, and the two of them hurried all the way, and rushed to the front in three or two clicks.

"Who is this? Li Ke's face changed twice, I don't know what he was thinking? Then he asked lightly as if nothing had happened.

The network was cut off last night, and I was on duty today, this will steal the air, ladies and gentlemen, smash the tickets! Smash it and make up for it today! Hey, hey, hey!
