Shangyuan Festival is really worthy of its name.

The street is crowded with people, very lively, the shops on both sides of the street have already prepared all kinds of lanterns, hanging in front of the store, there are merchants who will do business, and also take some small lanterns as gifts, package them to customers, quite a bit of the means of promotion in the festival of later generations. I don't know where a large number of hawkers poured out, the spacious street on weekdays suddenly became narrow, all kinds of goods on the stalls attracted people to stop and watch, a lively scene, those selling lanterns, guessing lantern fans of the stalls attracted a large number of people, groups of three or five gathered in front of the stalls, want to try their skills.

The big girls and little daughters-in-law, who rarely go to the street on weekdays, have taken to the streets, either with family and friends, or accompanied by guards and family members to protect them, and they have also put aside many scruples in the past, and only go to the crowded place, or watch the excitement, or buy some exquisite gadgets, but they are different, but everyone has a festive smile on their faces, and they are all satisfied.

Qin Daixin walked all the way, and she was also infected by this joyful atmosphere, but she also had a bit of a playful mind, but now that the Qin Mansion and her party were sitting in the shed under the stands, she was not good at shopping alone.

It is said that the Qin Mansion and his party sat in a carriage to visit the Lantern Festival, Qin Daixin was very disdainful of this matter, the Qin Mansion was only a hundred or ten meters away from the main street, and it was out of the alley, where was the need to put such a big score? Later, she learned that the most prosperous place in Taizhou is the Three Cross Street, yes, but this is a gathering place for the rich, and the people who can set up a house here are either rich or expensive, and if you want to really have fun with the people, you have to walk a little more and go to the West Market.

Taizhou is divided into two cities, the east market is the commercial gathering place dominated by Sanshi'an Street, while the west market is more common, not only the shops take the people-friendly route, but also the small merchants and hawkers also love to set up stalls here to sell.

To put it bluntly, if the East Market is a supermarket, the West Market is a farmers' market.

The carriage stopped in a wide area, and the person who looked like a steward received the post from the Qin Mansion, and asked the servants to lead the carriage to a secluded place, and let a special person take care of it, and someone led everyone all the way to the shed where the play was watching.

This Shangyuan Festival concert held by the Lord Zhizhou was set up in a vacant lot in the West Market, and a high platform was built in the open space, which was three or four meters high. The high platform is hung with all kinds of colored lanterns, if you look closely, but they are all ordinary styles, but they are better than a large number, put together colorful and green, very good-looking, there is a dark green curtain hanging on the stage, the red silk surrounds both sides of the stage, there is a little bit of the grandeur of the singing hall, and it adds a little festive atmosphere, four lampstands are erected on each side of the stage, and there are candles with the thickness of the bowl mouth in the lampstand for lighting. At this time, the surrounding area has already gathered to watch the lively people, they naturally heard that the government paid to invite the people to watch the juggling, rushed early to occupy the position, pointed at the costume on the stage, a little eye-opening meaning, at this moment there were a few people dressed as officials, carried two red carpets, in front of the curtain on the left and right sides of the place, along the spread, and attracted a burst of applause.

There are more than a dozen simple sheds under the stage, the outside is built with a tarpaulin similar to a yurt, and the inside is paved with ordinary green bricks, and the tables and chairs in the shed are wooden couches for guests to rest.

The Fang family asked people to help them go to the tent of other women's relatives, and meaningfully let Fang Wanru go to the ladies for a walk.

Qin Daixin heard a little unusual from here, but she was afraid that Lord Zhizhou's fun party had another deep meaning, and it would not be as simple as the grand event of the Chamber of Commerce mentioned on the face.

Dusk came as promised, the crescent moon appeared, and the lights of each stall were all lit up invariably, it was really like a sea of lights, bright as day, noisy people, and laughter endlessly.

On the high platform, gongs and drums sounded, and the juggling team set up a posture to officially start the show.

Qin Dai stared at the stage without distraction, deaf to the subtle atmosphere in the studio.

On the stage were two young girls of six or seven years old, with unusually soft bodies, with more than a dozen bowls stacked together on their heads, and their bodies twisted backwards to form a circle.

Everyone was elated, and Qin Dai was alone in deep thought. She remembered that when she was a child, she trained every day, accepting all kinds of things that should not appear in the world of children, violent, bloody, and even erotic, and she remembered the devilish training every day, the life like a concentration camp, which seemed to have left her for a long time, but now it was outlined, so clearly, as if she had never left.

In a trance, the applause was thunderous, and the two little sisters had finished their performances and were getting up to thank them.

Fang Wanru also took out a prepared red envelope and asked the girls to hand it over to the small copper basin.

Qin Daixin couldn't sit still, and took the time to euphemistically express to Fang Wanru that she wanted to go out for a walk.

Fang Wanru thought about it for a while, and then agreed, every year on the Shangyuan Festival, the ladies in the house also took their mothers-in-law to go shopping.

She carefully instructed the two mothers-in-law to follow carefully, and told Qin Dai not to play crazy, and if she came back earlier, she would set her eyes on the high platform again.

A teenager is performing the top jar, and a small clay jar half a meter high is being thrown into the air.

Qin Daixin took four girls and two mothers-in-law out of the shed lightly, and soon after she left, Qin Qianxin and Qin Ruoxin also took the girl's mother-in-law out of the shed without mentioning it.

Out of the booth, Qin Dai's mood was inexplicably better, and she was not annoyed when she looked at the crowded crowd of people coming and going.

Ruyi knew that Qin Daixin didn't like a lot of people the most, and she was very surprised to see that she was in a good mood.

The four girls followed closely, the two mothers-in-law were behind to protect, although the master and servant were not huge, but they were not comparable to the people of small doors, everyone was dressed and dressed extraordinary, and the people on the side had to avoid it from a distance, and did not dare to step forward, for fear of provoking something that should not be provoked.

Qin Dai didn't like it, and wanted to break up the two mothers-in-law, so she went to the place where there were many people, who knew that the two mothers-in-law were also well-trained, and they could keep up with her steps, but a few girls, probably not used to squeezing around in this kind of place, but it was a little laborious.

It's hard to make a trip, is it hard to waste all your time on this? Qin Daixin simply ignored the two mothers-in-law, just ignored them, and took the four girls to walk over one by one.

The scale of the night market is not small, in addition to the stalls selling lanterns and guessing lantern fans, the stalls selling silk flowers and snacks have also doubled, Qin Daixin found a stall selling rouge gouache and silk flower jewelry, and picked out some flower toys for the four girls, even if it was their festival.

A few girls were naturally happy, and they picked up the styles and colors, fiddled with them for a while, and spent three taels of silver, but bought more than a dozen jewelry of different styles, including small earplugs, various colors of silk flowers, and hairpins carved from wood, beads and other things.

Everyone went shopping for a while, only to feel hungry, so Qin Daixin picked a snack stall that sold "reunion" and asked for a few bowls of "reunion" with different fillings to eat.

It's funny to say, this "reunion" is clearly the glutinous rice balls of later generations, but here, it is called "reunion" by people.

Because there are more people patronizing the food stalls, Qin Daixin's group waited for a long time and did not wait for the reunion to be served, and it was an elderly couple who sold the reunion, and frequently apologized, hoping that everyone would wait for a while, and seeing that Qin Dai's heart responded, he was busy with a smile and back.

Qin Dai had nothing to do, so she asked the two mothers-in-law to wait in the seats, and took the four girls to the stall next door to pick up the lanterns.

I don't know if it's because of the bad location, the front of this stall is deserted, the stall owner sees that other people's business is booming, but no one patronizes him here, he is so anxious, seeing that Qin Daixin is dressed well, it is a distinguished guest who comes to the door, and suddenly smiled like a flower, greeting him very hard.

"Girl, take a look, our lanterns here are of high quality, new and ingenious, and are small ancestral crafts, if you have a fancy to them, I will sell them cheaper."

Qin Daixin didn't care about these little money, but she was also happy to hear him be generous, so she simply picked a few lamps to suit the occasion.

Everyone was interested, so they picked up an octagonal lamp, a Chang'e moon lantern, a snowflake lantern made of tulle, and a complex marquee lantern.

Each of the four girls took a lamp, all of them smiled, and the happiest one belonged to the vendor who sold lanterns, smiling so much that his face was toothless and blind.

Everyone was about to turn around and go back to eat reunion, but Qin Daixin caught a glimpse of a chic and unusual lantern hanging in the corner of the stall, the whole lamp body is like a delicate pagoda, with exquisite fancy patterns painted on it, and the four corners of the lamp are decorated with red tassels, and the most special thing is the inside of the lamp, where the candle is placed, it is actually a small three-dimensional lark candlestick, the lark is vivid, and the feathers of the whole body are clearly visible, which is really lovely.

Qin Daixin felt that such a beautiful lamp, Su Shi must like it, so she hurriedly asked the vendor to hand her the lantern, took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and asked, "Why is this lamp placed in the corner, and what price?" ”

Where else could the peddler take care of, but said: "The girl takes care of my business, if you like it, give five taels of silver, this lamp is time-consuming and difficult to make." ”

Qin Daixin nodded, this price is real, so she took out five taels of silver from her purse and put it in the hands of the vendor.

She turned around and was about to leave, but she heard a sudden sound of whipping from behind her, and the word "whip" reflexively came to her mind, and before she could react, she felt a thin leather whip wrapped around her wrist, and a voice like a lark said: "I will give me ten taels of this lamp." ”

PS: Are the officials resting? Why haven't I had a favorite recommendation for many days in a row? Come on!
