Chapter 166 Shangyuan Festival in the Capital (Lantern Festival)

Luo Ran touched his nose and stopped talking. www.biquge.info I thought to myself that although I was dozens of years old, as a modern person, I was curious about what I ate and played in ancient times, so I didn't have to be embarrassed.

I bought a few bags of fried hawthorn, and a few people walked around while eating.

It was the first time for Luo Youli and the Zheng family to see such a lively scene, but their hearts were still on Luo Ran Wensheng, and they accidentally got lost.

Luo Ran thought about whether he would let the two of them live in a two-person world, and pulled Wen Sheng and said to Luo Youli Zheng: "Daddy, my brother and I want to go over there to play, you don't have to worry about us, there is an elder brother there." And the maid and the maid. We'll wait for us at the carriage for an hour and a half. ”

After speaking, he pulled Wensheng Wenxuan and left.

Zheng was not at ease and wanted to follow, but Luo Youli grabbed her and said, "The children want to go shopping by themselves, and it's not good for us to follow, so it's better for us to go shopping by ourselves." You don't have to worry about them, there are Wenxuan watching, and there are a lot of subordinates, what are you afraid of. ”

Zheng had no choice but to let a few maids and wives all follow Luo Ran, and said to Luo Youli: "It's always uneasy not to look at it." ”

Luo Youli: "You just can't finish up." They're all old and they're going to get out of your sight sooner or later. Let's go shopping, see if there are things sold over there, maybe there are people you want to buy? Luo Youli also has his own selfishness, and after saying this, his ears turned red.

Zheng Shi seemed to have found something, felt a little embarrassed, his face was slightly red, and he didn't speak, and followed Luo Youli to see the stall.

Luo Youli saw that the stall was full of some women's small jewelry, so he picked a jade hairpin and stuck it on Zheng's head, and said, "It's so beautiful." ”

The stall owner knew that the two of them were not short of money, so he hurriedly praised Zheng and praised him. Luo Youli also nodded in agreement.

Zheng's face flushed, like a red apple. glared at Luo Youli and said anything in public, and he was not irritable.

Luo Youli took out a few taels of silver to buy the hairpin, and the stall owner wanted to recommend others, but Zheng was afraid that Luo Youli would say something more, so he hurriedly pulled him away. I just feel that the hairpin on my head is particularly heavy and weighty, not a few taels of silver can be measured, Zheng's heart is warm.

…… Luo Ran and the others actually didn't go far, they looked at Luo Youli and Zheng from a distance, and saw that the two of them went to a small stall and bought a hairpin. Luo Ran was snickering in his heart, sure enough, did his father take the initiative to buy things to please his mother?

Luo Wensheng also saw it, and hurriedly said, "Dad bought something for you, let's go and see what we bought." ”

Luo Ran: "Don't look at it, my father and mother are busy." Didn't you say you wanted to see the lion dance, buy lanterns, and guess the lantern riddles? Let's not hurry up yet. ”

As soon as I arrived at the street in front, it happened that the lion dance team started from the street. I saw several pairs of lions tumbling and rolling heavier, and then spit out a red couplet from their mouths. There was a round of applause all around. This kind of lion dance is organized by the government, and it will go from the street dance to the end of the street, turning several streets in the capital.

A few people started to turn from the street, and the empty places that were originally placed were filled with things related to the Lantern Festival, most of which were lanterns.

There are many kinds of lanterns, different styles, all over the street, which is particularly beautiful in the night of the capital. No wonder some poets praised: the moonlight lights are full of imperial capital, and the incense car treasure is passed.

There are palace lanterns, yarn lanterns, flower blue lanterns, dragon and phoenix lanterns, angular lanterns, tree and ground lamps, ceremonial lanterns, mushroom lanterns, rabbit lanterns, beauty lamps and so on

In order to make you more interested, the sellers are guessing lantern riddles and sending lanterns, and Luo Ran Wensheng and several people came to this house The lanterns are the most beautiful and exquisite, so there are more people, most of them are guessing lantern riddles.

As soon as I arrived, I heard the seller read a lantern riddle aloud, "A hook of the crescent moon hangs in the west building, guess a word." ”

After Luo Ran and Wen Sheng heard it, they competed and didn't think of what it was. It's just that after a while, I heard someone say that the answer to the riddle is "He". happily took the lamp.

Seeing Luo Ran's doubts, Wen Xuan began to explain: "The ancients had words" and went up to the west building alone without a word, and the moon was like a hook. Lonely Wutong Deep Courtyard Lock Qingqiu" sentence, "a hook crescent", with the similarity of the shape and buckle "丿", because the crescent moon is like "eyebrows", it can be seen that the imagination is novel; "West Building", with the direction of the font structure buckle "wood", for "wood" in the west of the "building", it refers to the shape clearly. The "hanging" of the face text is vividly related, so that the ups and downs of the "丿" will meet with the scene; This is a difficult and elegant lantern riddle. (Lantern riddle excerpt from Baidu)

After listening to Luo Wenxuan's explanation, Luo Ran couldn't help but be a little frustrated, thinking that he knew so many modern lantern riddles, maybe he could guess a lot, but he didn't think that this ancient lantern riddle was so difficult, and he also quoted various poems.

"My brother is amazing. I didn't expect it. Wen Sheng looked at Wen Xuan with admiration and said.

Luo Wenxuan: "I didn't guess it, I remembered it when the boy said the riddle just now." It's not great. ”

Luo Ran thought it was much better than me, okay.

Luo Ran didn't guess a few of them, he was a little discouraged, holding the beauty lamp that his brother got, Luo Ran was not convinced at all, he must guess it.

Looking forward to a more popular lantern riddle coming out. Finally found an easy-to-understand one: draw the time circle, write the time square; Winter is short, summer is long (type)

When Wen Sheng saw it, he said happily: "Day." ”

Seeing that Wen Sheng was only a few years old, the seller praised a few words, and gave Wen Sheng the rabbit womb lamp with the riddle.

In general, children like animal lanterns, so the lantern riddles hanging under the lanterns are easy to understand and simple, like those literati who liked before are some bamboo, chrysanthemum, orchid and plum, which are some more difficult lantern riddles. The allusions used are also some poems or something, for Luo Ran, a semi-literate person, it is simply too difficult.

After Luo Ran thought of this, he went to guess the animal lanterns, and sure enough, he guessed two in a row, so he was greatly satisfied. [I'm not shy, I pick children's guesses. 】

Several people had lanterns in their hands, so they continued to walk, buying a lot of snacks and eating while walking. When I saw a small stall selling Lantern Festival, I stopped, planning to eat a bowl of Lantern Festival.

The stall is very small and relatively simple, but it is still very clean, and there is already a person sitting there eating Lantern Festival.

"Auntie, come to six bowls of Lantern Festival." Wen Xuan said. Luo Ran, Luo Wenxuan, and Wensheng are three, plus Chuncao Chunyan and other three, just one person and one bowl.

"Okay, I'll be right here." When the proprietress saw these young ladies coming over, she quickly wiped the table and bench, and answered.

The water on this stall is boiling, and the water is already boiling, so you just need to put the Lantern Festival in it and cook it for a while. (To be continued.) )
