Chapter 42: The Lamp of the Three Less
The sky is getting darker, and there are lights everywhere. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When the carriage reached the penultimate street of the shop, it could not walk. The sisters of the Qin family had to get out of the car and walk, and as soon as Qin Chen got out of the carriage, he saw the crowd of black pressing.
The annual river temple fair is really spectacular.
The people of Qinzhou and its surroundings help the old and the young, wandering through the streets, and you can see horse-drawn carriages and mule carts covered with colorful satin everywhere.
In particular, the widest street leading to the south is lined with lamp stands on both sides, and people playing a hundred operas can be seen on both sides of the street.
There are horses wearing fire rings, smelling fighting, throwing thin balls, covering clay sculptures and human carvings, etc. There is a wide variety of games.
When you come to the shops on both sides of the Wei River, standing on the bridge, the whole Wei River is like a dye-stained ribbon, and the lights are about to illuminate the night sky.
Every street is like a flying ribbon of golden light, everyone is a photon on this ribbon of light, and there is a jubilant atmosphere everywhere.
Qin Chen was submerged in the sea of people, standing at the head of the bridge and looking at the bright lights everywhere from afar, his heart was full of emotion.
In her previous life, she was famous, and she often accompanied the Queen Mother and the Holy Lord, so she never had the opportunity to participate in such a grand public event.
However, she also quietly disguised herself with the emperor on the Xingqing Tower outside the south gate of Luoyang and watched the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival.
That night, he also personally tied a lantern for her, although it was not very beautiful, but she was very happy, and lit the lantern with her own hands and hung it on the Xingqing Tower.
I wonder if the light is still there?
Qin Chen's heart ached silently.
Qinzhou is naturally not as prosperous as the capital, but today, it seems that the traffic is busy and very lively. Moreover, Qinzhou City is not as big as the capital and Chang'an, and the shops and castles are much smaller.
"Sister, sister, I'm going to the River Temple to throw copper coins!" Seeing that Qin Chen was standing at the head of the bridge and refused to leave, Xiao Mudun hurriedly pulled the corner of her clothes.
Just now, Qin Rong and Qin Xia had already gone to the middle, and Qin Zheng was still following her and Xiao Mudun.
"Let's go later, it's the time when there are the most people!" Qin Chen tried to calm the restless little wooden pier.
She just heard Qin Zheng say that there is a big pool in front of the river temple, and there is a stone turtle in the pool. So everyone in the family will take their children under the age of ten to throw copper coins there.
Xiao Mudun is so young, he definitely doesn't understand this, he just wants to throw the copper plate, and wants to try his eyesight.
"Don't, sister... Go now! The little wooden mound tugged at her shirt, and his head rubbed against her dress.
Qin Chen's heart suddenly softened, Xiao Mudun died when Zhou was very young, and he almost never enjoyed maternal love, so he followed a confused sister, or in his subconscious, his sister was a mother-like character.
Qin Chen's heart was suddenly very uncomfortable, she touched the head of the little wooden pier, looked in the direction of the river temple, and saw that the two banks of the lights were black and oppressive, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.
Qin Zheng on the side saw her hesitation, and immediately laughed and said: "Fourth sister, let's do it, I'll take the small wooden pier over, you and your third brother together, and we will meet at the carrier bridge when we turn around!" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Mudun didn't wait for Qin Chen to agree, he immediately turned his head and rubbed it to Qin Zheng's side, took his hand and shouted excitedly, "Brother, go quickly, it's late, the turtle's mouth should be full!" ”
Qin Chen smiled and nodded.
Qin Zheng picked up the small wooden pier and walked down the bridge to the left hand side and walked towards the end of the river temple, while instructing a young man in an indigo blue robe behind him: "Third brother, you take care of the fourth sister, don't lose it!" ”
Qin Xun nodded in response: "Second brother, don't worry, I will watch my sister!" ”
Qin Chen glanced at Qin Xun, the third young master of the Qin family, the son of Aunt Yin of the third room, and Qin Zheng was a half-brother.
However, Qin Xun looks much more stable than Qin Zheng, looking like a scholar, neither humble nor arrogant, not hurried.
The two of them stood at the head of the bridge against the wind, regardless of the people coming and going behind them, regardless of the boats flowing down the bridge.
A little emotional, Qin Xun actually chanted a poem, "The river city is like a picture, looking at the sky at night, listening to the string orchestra, looking down at the flowers, the people are ethereal, and the double bridge falls on the Milky Way." Who reads the north upstairs, and faces the wind with Yan Gong. ”
Yan Gong....Qin Chen's heart was shocked, and his eyes became trance-like.
"Third brother likes to read Mrs. Yan's poems?" Qin Chen asked unconsciously.
Qin Xun smiled faintly, looked at the ethereal smoke in the distance, and sighed: "Mrs. Yan is famous all over the world, the scenery of Jiyue, admire his character, admire his talent, all the scholars in the world are proud of being taught by Yan Gong, and naturally they hate not being able to listen to one or two trainings, I heard that my sister was given a few manuscripts by Yan Shizi in the Yan family garden a few days ago, I don't know if I can let the foolish brother borrow one or two!" He tilted his head to look at her.
Where would Qin Chen refuse, he didn't expect that the Qin family would have such a noble scholar.
"Third brother is polite, you can go over and get it at any time!"
"Thank you, sister, foolish brother!" Qin Xun arched his hand at her and looked at her deeply.
I always feel that the fourth sister seems to be different.
She used to be impatient to read.
"Fourth sister, let's walk from South Street to the carrier bridge, you see, there seems to be a tall lamp stand on the side of the carrier bridge, as if it is spinning on the water!" Qin Xun shook his fingers,
A light stand that spins on the water?
Qin Chen's expression moved when he heard this, and he stepped on his feet and looked towards the carrier bridge, which was the bridge in the middle of the store, the river side was the widest, and it was also the center of the entire store.
Qin Chen's eyesight is very good, and he can already see a tall lampstand that seems to be floating on the water, the lampstand is like a pillar in the middle, and there are various patterns on the surface, and what is even more surprising is that the pattern seems to spiral upwards around the lamppost from bottom to top!
Oh my God, it's spectacular!
Qin Chen could see clearly from such a distance, and it could be seen that the lampstand was particularly tall, and it should be two stories tall in the attic.
Who built such a large lampstand, but this is not an ordinary ability.
Seven years ago, the emperor built a blessing pagoda for the Queen Mother, which is 18 stories high, with exquisite and intricate design, and is the masterpiece of that master.
And today in this Qinzhou City, it is really surprising to see such exquisite and huge lanterns.
She'd have to take a look.
So the brother and sister walked down the relatively less crowded South Street to the side of the carrier bridge.
Along the way, Qin Chen heard passers-by discussing the huge lampstand.
"I heard that it was the lampstand designed by the third son of the Ye family!"
"Now it looks like a lantern pillar, if you unlock the first seven pieces of chess, you can make the whole lantern bloom like a flower, and sparks can flow down from the top, I don't know if there is a way to see it tonight, just a lot of boys and girls have tried, but unfortunately there is no chess game yet!"
Listening to the discussions of people coming and going, Qin Chen and Qin Xun glanced at each other, and they both felt very surprised.
"The third brother is good at playing, I want to give it a try later!" Qin Chen said with a smile.
Qin Xun smiled bitterly, "I heard that Ye Sangongzi is a stunning and glamorous character, the chess game he set up is not easy to solve, the year before last he designed a lotus lantern on the Lantern Festival night of the Qinhuai River in Jinling, saying that someone solved the mystery to be able to bloom like a flower, but unfortunately no one solved his mystery after all, and the lamp is still floating on the Qinhuai River like a flower bone!" ”
Qin Chen shook his head and laughed when he heard this, this Ye Sanshao is really leisurely and elegant, she used to like to guess lantern riddles and write poems, but unfortunately she has been busy with national politics and rarely leaves the capital.
I'll see him tonight!
