The Lantern Festival originated in the Han Dynasty, and the lantern lighting ceremony held by Zhang Daoling during the period of Emperor Shun of the Han Dynasty in the "Five Buckets of Rice Sect" in Heming Chuan, Shu Province, is the oldest lantern festival in the history of Chinese civilization so far.

Nowadays, among the Lantern Festival lantern festivals in various places, the Qinhuai Lantern Festival held in Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is unprecedented, and it is the first in the country.

Qin Fan had been to Jinling several times in his previous life because of business trips, and he had also visited the Qinhuai Lantern Festival, but in his opinion, although the scenery of Qinhuai was famous all over the world, it was the Lantern Festival in Luzhou that made him feel more cordial.

I remember that when he was very young, he would come to Luzhou with his parents to watch the Lantern Festival every Lantern Festival. At that time, Qin Xuedong would always buy him a delicate and beautiful little lantern, and let Xiao Qin Fan ride on his shoulder while eating the sweet and sour sugar gourd, while enjoying the ten-mile lantern.

Thinking of the scene when he was a child sitting on his father's shoulder eating sugar gourd and enjoying the lantern festival with his family, the corners of Qin Fan's mouth inadvertently hooked up a smile.

At that time, although the Qin family was poor, the family lived very happily. For Qin Fan, this memory of his family is the most precious treasure in his life.

"Xiaofan, what are you smirking about, hurry up and ask for the wishing lamp."

Fang Xiaojun didn't know when he ran to the front, and when he turned his head and found that Qin Fan hadn't followed, he hurriedly shouted loudly in a voice like a broken gong.

"Here we are."

At this time, Qin Fan saw Lu Jiajia and Meng Xiaowei holding hands with excitement on their faces, and ran to a square in front of them that was large enough to accommodate 100,000 people to watch people put wishing lanterns. Fang Xiaojun was sweating profusely, doing his best as a bodyguard, and followed Lu Jiajia to escort him.

Since Fang Xiaojun was both a bodyguard and a coolie to help Lu Da Beauty carry things, his efforts finally paid off, Lu Jiajia's attitude towards him was obviously much gentler, and he personally wiped his sweat with a tissue. Fang Xiaojun was excited, just like being beaten with chicken blood, and there seemed to be inexhaustible strength all over his body.

At this moment, Qin Fan and Meng Xiaowei saw that tens of thousands of wishing lamps carried the people's good wishes for the new year, slowly rising, just like the fireflies in the night sky, blooming with the light of hope in the darkness.

"Xiaofan, the two beauties said that if they want to light a wishing lamp, let's go buy a big one." In order to get Lu Jiajia's favor and strive for a hole-in-one, Fang Xiaojun did not hesitate at all about Lu Da's beauty's requirements, and resolutely executed it as quickly as possible.

The wishing lantern, also known as the Kong Ming lantern and the prayer lantern, was used for military purposes in ancient times, while in modern times it is used by the common people to pray for blessings.

Legend has it that in the five dynasties, there was a woman named Xin Qi Niang who fought with her husband in Fujian Province, and used bamboo strips to tie into a square frame, paste paper on the outside, and make a headlamp. Burning pine resin is placed on the ground below, and the lamp can be used as a military liaison signal by means of hot air.

This kind of pine resin lamp is also called Kong Ming lamp in Sichuan and Shu, because the shape of this lamp resembles the hat worn by Zhuge Liang.

The girl was very excited when she met such a wish, Meng Xiaowei and Lu Jiajia chatted and whispered for a long time before solemnly writing New Year's wishes on the wishing lamp.

"Jiajia, let me see what New Year's wishes you made." Fang Xiaojun cheekily poked his head and glanced at Lu Jiajia's New Year's resolution, but he was taken aback.

What makes people laugh and cry is that Lu Jiajia actually wrote a bunch of wishes densely on the wishing lamp, such as a successful career, a happy marriage, a happy family, and so on.

Fang Xiaojun almost fainted when he saw it, and dared to love Lu Jiajia, who was ready to make all the wishes of his life in one go.

"What do you wish, let me see." Lu Jiajia poked her head curiously to peek at Fang Xiaojun's wishes

How do you know that Fang Xiaojun's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly covered the words on the wishing lamp with his palm, "That's not possible, if the wish is seen, it won't work." ”

"Then you just looked at my wish!" Lu Jiajia shouted that it was unfair, and jokingly frolicked with Fang Xiaojun.

"What's that, buddy's ugly handwriting, I'm afraid you'll laugh at me."

Fang Xiaojun was sweating profusely, but he covered the words on the wishing lamp quite tightly, and refused to show it to her no matter how Lu Jiajia made trouble.

"Hey, that's interesting. What did Junzi wish for? As for the mysterious ones. ”

Taking advantage of Fang Xiaojun's inattention, Qin Fan stole a few crooked words on the wishing lamp, and almost stopped laughing.

It turned out that Fang Xiaojun's New Year's wish for this animal turned out to be ...... Get rid of virginity.

"Junzi, you are so talented, this wish is simply amazing." Qin Fan couldn't straighten up with a smile.

"Hey, Xiaofan, you're not kind, how can you peek at my wishes!"

Fang Xiaojun's face was flushed in a hurry, and at this moment, Meng Xiaowei and Lu Jiajia also took the opportunity to steal Fang Xiaojun's wishes, and their delicate faces suddenly turned red.

"No wonder you don't dare to show us, you're not ashamed." Lu Jiajia's face was as red as an apple, but there was no disgust in her heart.

Food, color, sex, too.

Confucius also said that men and women eat and drink, and people's great desires exist.

Seven emotions and six desires are human instincts, Lu Jiajia went abroad to study design for half a year after graduation, and she is more open to this kind of thing, and there is no taboo.

Fang Xiaojun saw that Lu Jiajia was not really angry except for being a little shy, and he was pleasantly surprised, thinking about taking this opportunity to capture the home base in one fell swoop, and then his New Year's wish might be realized in advance.

If Lu Jiajia knew what Fang Xiaojun was thinking at this time, he would definitely light this animal along with Kong Ming's lantern.

"Xiaofan, what is your New Year's resolution, do you want to find a beautiful girlfriend?" Fang Xiaojun gave Qin Fan an ambiguous look that all men understand, and came over with a smile.

Qin Fan glanced at this thing with contempt, and wrote it with a big stroke of the pen on the wishing lamp.

Meng Xiaowei and Lu Jiajia came over curiously, but they saw Qin Fan writing the four big words "world peace" on the wishing lamp.

", Xiaofan, why don't you go to heaven?"

Fang Xiaojun screamed, he also wanted to take the opportunity to tease Qin Fan, but he didn't expect this kid to write a wish for a panacea.

"Xiaowei, it's your turn to write."

After Meng Xiaowei finished writing her New Year's wishes, Qin Fan and Fang Xiaojun lit the Kong Ming lantern and put the Kong Ming lantern, which carried the wishes of several young people, into the sky.

"By the way, Xiaowei, what is your wish?" Meng Xiaowei deliberately covered her hands just now, and no one saw what she had made.

"You want to know?" Meng Xiaowei looked at him and blinked mischievously, and there was a cunning look in her beautiful eyes.

Qin Fan nodded curiously.

"Hmph, I won't tell you, just guess for yourself."

Meng Xiaowei snorted, like a tsundere princess, looking up at the Kong Ming lantern that rose into the air, and her eyes reflected the beautiful and incomprehensible things.
