Chapter 4 Lantern Festival

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, which is known as the Shangyuan Festival and is also commonly known as the "Lantern Festival". According to custom, the Spring Festival will not end until www.biquge.info the Lantern Festival is over, so the Lantern Festival is also one of the most important festivals of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

On both sides of the avenue, the eaves of the building fly to the pavilion, and the lanterns are hung high. Marquee lanterns, jade rabbit lanterns, fairy lanterns, peach blossom lanterns, all of them are vivid, like a hundred flowers competing for beauty, each with its own mood, beautiful. The walking crowd vied with each other to watch, pointing at all kinds of lanterns, and there was laughter and laughter everywhere, which was extremely lively. The festive atmosphere is even better than Chinese New Year's Eve.

A bright moon rose from the east, and the land of the capital seemed to be covered with a layer of silver-white light veil. The city is full of traffic, full of lanterns, people come and go, like a tide. Each person carries a small lantern in their hand. There are even sons and ladies from wealthy families, who are hugging dozens of servants, carrying lanterns of different sizes and swaggering across the border, crowding the street.

Huan'er has an active temperament and can't stand loneliness in the boudoir. clamoring to come out to see the lanterns, Shen Qiwu couldn't help but she could only sneak out with her.

Huan'er's little face turned bright red with excitement, and she took Shen Qiwu's hand and walked around. After all, she is a child's heart, how can she be unhappy when she encounters such a lively festival.

"Miss, let's go make a wish." Huan'er shouted, pulled her, and came to the bottom of the wishing tree.

The wishing tree is a tall ginkgo tree, with a lot of red sachets hanging on it, and they are connected together to form a pious red net, which is very beautiful.

At this time, many good men and women gathered here at the wishing tree, and they made heartfelt wishes under the tree, praying that the old man would lead them to a beautiful marriage.

Shen Qiwu smiled bitterly, but after all, he still followed Huan'er.

The two bought sachets from the vendor next to them, and each wrote their wishes on letterhead.

Shen Qiwu didn't know what to write, and gently tilted her head to peep at Huan'er, wanting to see what kind of wish she would write.

Although Shen Qiwu taught her to read and write, Huan'er is also very smart and learns quickly, but when she looks at the crooked words on the letterhead, Shen Qiwu really doubts whether she has no talent to be a teacher.

"I hope Miss can be happy and Huan'er can find her own wishful husband." Huan'er was very serious, and the fingers holding the brush were slightly forced.

Shen Qiwu pursed his lips and smiled, a little soft in his heart.

She turned around and wrote on the letterhead, "I hope Huan'er's wishes can come true." ”

After the two of them wrote their wishes, they stuffed the letter paper into the sachet, tied a red thread at the end of the sachet, and threw the wishing tree under Huan'er's expectant gaze.

"Boom" a few times, the sky rose with flowers, in the night sky splendid, in the explosion, a variety of beautiful patterns. People looked up and cheered. As far as the eye can see, all kinds of lanterns are lit up in the sky, which is extremely gorgeous.

The moonlight lights and fireworks, the light of the three reflected each other on Shen Qiwu's face.

Looking at Huan'er's expectant eyes, Shen Qiwu took her to buy a fairy lantern.

This lantern is extremely moving, as tall as Huan'er, and it seems that there is a delicate little girl in front of Huan'er.

Shen Qiwu was in a good mood and swept away the haze in his heart for many days.

Borrow a brush and write gently.

"It's better to take pity on the person in front of you."

Huan'er lit the candle and released the lantern with Shen Qiwu.

"Miss is very literate, Du Yufei in the Jiangnan Poetry Society. I was fortunate to be able to meet Miss Xianzi, and I admired it in my heart. Shen Qiwu's ears sounded with praise.

A young man squeezed in front of them, his face red and white, dressed in a fine costume, and shaking a folding fan in his hand with an indescribable charm.

Du Yufei also bought a lantern here and prepared to light it, but saw a woman next to him holding a pen, when he saw the sentence "It's better to pity the person in front of him", he was shocked when he saw his face.

Shen Qiwu just nodded slightly, and didn't want to pay attention to the boy who was talking.

Because in her opinion, people who still shake folding fans in the winter are usually sick.

Shen Qiwu didn't pay attention to Du Yufei, and Huan'er naturally didn't talk much, so the two turned around and left.

Du Yufei is anxious, he is a well-known talent in Jiangnan, with a graceful style, and he doesn't know how many women have been fascinated by his appearance.

But the beauty in front of her is comparable to those vulgar fans. It is beautiful and moving, and the eyebrows are picturesque. is like a fairy who walks out of the heavenly palace, and does not eat the fireworks of the world.

"Miss, please stay, it's too crowded here, it's better to open the way in front of my two subordinates, and also prevent some young people from having bad intentions." Du Yufei didn't want to give up, he stopped them, pointed to the two powerful entourages behind him, and smiled warmly.

Huan'er's eyebrows were upside down, and she scolded coquettishly, "You are really strange, my young lady doesn't want to pay attention to you!" Walk fast, walk fast. ”

Shen Qiwu frowned, a little impatient.

But what this person said is not bad, because today is the Shangyuan Festival, all streets are congested, and pedestrians are everywhere. There were many Xiaoxiao who wanted to take advantage of the crowd to crowd around them, but they were all frightened away by Shen Qiwu's cold gaze.

"Since it's the son's good intentions, then there is labor." Shen Qiwu said lightly, now it is a beautiful thing for someone to want to be a free bodyguard.

Shen Qiwu rubbed his eyes, and now he didn't need to stare anymore.

Along the way, Du Yufei's mouth was not idle, and he talked with Shen Qiwu all over the world. It is said that the stars change in the four seasons, and the next is talking about military affairs, governing the country and the people, showing his profound knowledge.

Shen Qiwu scoffed at this, and only replied politely occasionally.

"Miss, it's a lantern riddle, let's go guess the lantern riddle!" Huan'er seemed to have discovered a new continent, and pulled Shen Qiwu into the crowd happily.

This is a restaurant called Zuixiangxian, which is also one of the most high-end places in the capital, and because of its proximity to the palace, it is a gathering place for dignitaries.

There are several lanterns placed at the door of the drunken fragrance fairy, and there is a little second holding pen and ink next to him. Anyone who can guess the lantern riddle can enter the building to drink for free, and can go upstairs to see the scenery of the capital.

There were many people around here, and Shen Qiwu and Huan'er relied on Du Yufei's two entourages to barely squeeze to the front.

Huan'er couldn't wait to look at the first lantern, only to see that it read "Guess the word on January 7th".

Huan'er is not very literate, and she picks her head and looks slightly depressed.

Shen Qiwu just felt a little funny.

Du Yufei really smiled.

He felt that the opportunity to show his talents in front of the beautiful woman had come.

This riddle is difficult to say but it is not difficult, he is full of poetry and books, there is a furrow in his chest, but this riddle is not difficult for him.

I saw Du Yufei meditating and pondering, and then walked forward. Pick up the pen and write down the word "fat".

Suddenly, there was a cheer all around.

"Please come into the building and have a drink." Xiao Er saw that someone had guessed the riddle, and with a smile on his face, he hurriedly asked Du Yufei to enter the building.

Du Yufei was extremely applauded by the applause around him, and he looked at Shen Qiwu with some smugness in his eyes.

He pointed to Shen Qiwu and asked Xiao Er, "These are my friends, I wonder if you can go into the building together?" ”

Xiao Er glanced at him and shook his head.

"Childe's entourage is free, but this girl must guess the lantern riddle before she can enter the building." is the second child of the drunken fragrance fairy, so he naturally has some knowledge.

Shen Qiwu is gorgeously dressed, has a noble temperament, and is glamorous, and will never be an ordinary person.

Since it is not an entourage, it is natural that you must guess the riddle before you can enter the building.

Du Yufei was a little annoyed, so he retreated.

"Since Miss can't enter the building, I naturally won't leave alone."

When Huan'er heard that, she felt that Du Yufei looked down on her own young lady. She was as angry as a kitten, "Whoever said that you can't get in, with my young lady's style, you can guess it casually!" ”

There was a sound of good-natured laughter all around, which made Huan'er extremely embarrassed.

Shen Qiwu didn't say anything, only to see her frown slightly, and came to the second riddle. The paper reads, "Red on one side and green on the other." On one side of the wind, on the other hand, of the rain. ”

Shen Qiwu looked at the lantern riddle.

The eyes around her were on her.

Shen Qiwu then put pen to paper.
