There is also a fast class, each holding a red gauze beaded lantern.

When the drive is approaching, the circumference is several heavy, and there is a person holding a moon-like Wuzi brocade outside, covering the horse.

There were more than ten military attachés in the sky, and they all shouted together: "Look at the driver-"

That's it. After this group of pomp passed, there were more than 100 small envoys and ministers, all of whom were dressed in public clothes, holding beads and playing balls, and riding horses to listen.

Then there are the close attendants and the remaining officials, all of whom are dressed in purple and crimson green official uniforms, the three yatai lieutenants, the guardians, and the royal belts, listing the leaders, and on both sides are the inner ranks, that is, the guards appointed by Wu Xun.

Those who choose the strength of the army, wearing brocade jackets and hats, clenching their fists and looking at them, and there are those who dare to raise their voices in the crowd, and they are beaten and bled out, which is too cruel.

The whole team, in front of the guidance of the teaching workshop Junrong Zhile Club, behind the driving of the classes of the straight horse military band music, outside the rear of the enclosure, on the left is the civil official sequence, the leader of the chief, the attendants and so on, the right is the military sequence, including the prince, the clan, the southern class officials, etc.

When the emperor arrived at the door, more than ten people were already waiting for the Hengmen to whip, and there was a crank small red embroidered umbrella behind the car, and a palace guard was holding on the horse.

When passing through Ao Mountain, the staff of the Imperial Yuan Yuan sang in front of the chariot: "Come with the pole and charm—", and then the Imperial Yuan began to go backwards, and the group turned around, so that Zhao Ji watched Ao Mountain - this name is called "Pigeon Swirl", also known as "stepping on five flowers".

After the stoppage, Zhao Ji and the close ministers of the clan ascended the Xuande Tower, and martial law was lifted.

Tourists who have been waiting for a long time rush to the terrace to seize the best position to watch the lights and watch the show.

Suddenly, the palace frame music, the sound of analysis, erect a "chicken pole" in the thorn enclosure, about ten zhang high, there is a big wooden plate at the tip of the pole, there is a golden rooster, the mouth title is a red flag, and the book "Long live the emperor" four big characters.

The gong sounded, four colored cords hung down from the bottom of the wooden plate, and the four red-turbaned sergeants selected by the commanders of the two divisions and three yas competed for the first place, hoping to grab the golden rooster red flags for their own captains.

This year's Golden Rooster Red Banner was won by the guards and the pro-army Ma Junsi, and the athletes were so excited that they were red and thanked them downstairs in Xuande.

Upstairs in Xuande, there is a red brocade rope, connected to the color building made of silk under the door, soon, a golden phoenix pardon down, the general secretary on the color floor takes down the pardon book, and reads it out.

The Lantern Festival Night Tour has begun!

The Su family's oil-walled car has long been prepared, four-wheeled and four-seater, light and spacious, and Su Xiaomei and Shi Wei are sitting inside.

Shi Tong's apprentice hasn't seen him for many years, and now this baby is the manager of the Zhengzhou factory, and Su You wants to act in the case and recruit him.

Su You rarely drove in person, and he was not very confident in his craft, so he asked Shi Tong to sit next to him as a co-pilot.

Chongyi held a golden spit for a day yesterday, and today he took turns off and came to join in the fun.

They rode horses, Chen Zhaoming, Chong Yi, Su Yuanzhen, Zhang Qi, Shi Luan, Su Hui, and two red-bearded foreigners, wandering around the carriage all the way.

Today's travel is uninhibited for men and women, and women who can't go out on weekdays due to etiquette can go out on this day.

The women in the boudoir also have to deliberately dress up, wear pearl emeralds, moths, jade plums, snow willows, and Bodhi leaves, and meet to go out to play together, enjoy the lanterns, turn the three bridges, and even don't want the men in the family to follow.

The moon halo glitter woven by the Su family, the moonlight, the magnificent light, makes the girls appear more beautiful and soft, this Spring Festival is selling up, just to attract the attention of young men today.

Many unmarried men and women who have agreed on family affairs can also take this opportunity to join hands and talk about their hearts together, without worrying about the eyes of outsiders.

Therefore, the Lantern Festival is a beautiful scenery in the memories of scholars and doctors, Ouyang Xiu wrote down the eternal "willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk." ”

Thinking of Ouyang Xiusu oil, he couldn't help but sigh, alas, it was all the fault of the glamorous words.

Su Xiaomei probed out: "Brother, why don't you leave?" ”

"Let's go!" Su You smiled and shook the reins: "Drive!" ”

There are many theories about the origin of the Lantern Festival, Confucianism believes that "the Han Dynasty is chaotic", and the day when the loyal ministers Zhou Bo and Chen Ping worked together to survey and level Zhulu is the fifteenth day of the first month, so on this day every year, Emperor Wen of Han will go out of the palace to play to celebrate, which is the beginning of the Lantern Festival.

However, Buddhism holds the theory of "burning the lamp to show the Buddha". Legend has it that Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty advocated Buddhism and 'lit the lamp to show the Buddha' in the palace temple on the night of the first century. Let all the Shishu people hang lamps, and this is how the Lantern Festival comes.

The Taoists quit, they think that the Lantern Festival is the day of blessing from the heavenly officials, so the Lantern Festival is a Taoist festival.

"Historical Records?? The record of the Book of Music is relatively early: "The Han family often takes the first month of the Xin Temple Taiyi Sweet Spring, and the night temple at dusk, until the end of the day, there are often meteors passing on the altar." and he made seventy boys and girls sing. ”

In short, no matter which festival it is, it will eventually become everyone's festival.

The passage of the royal street for carriages and horses to walk is very wide, enough for horses and carriages, and along the way, "the green curtain is closed, and the candle and lantern yarn are opened." Dance teams are all over the place, and the singers are closely embraced. The crisp pipe is clear, and the new sound is intertwined. Drama powder babies, singing artists, one after another. ”

Such a prosperous scene, not to mention the two foreigners who have never seen the world, even Su You was dumbfounded while driving.

The merchants on the side of the road are selling hard under the brilliant lights, and there are many lanterns hanging on the side of the store, and the tourists are fighting bravely and boasting in front of their female companions, competing for the riddles.

Magicians on the side of the road, fire-breathers, shaking forks, singing, singing, singing, talking, selling snacks and small toys...... There were a bunch of people gathered around him, and from time to time there was a sound of mountain shouting.

There are also a lot of people who sell masks, pink baby boys, evil ghost yakshas, lion tiger heads, and there are many tourists who buy them, and they wear them on their faces when they buy them, and continue to walk forward with a smile.

Chongyi was very curious: "What kind of custom is this?" ”

Su Yuanzhen said: "The Book of Sui?? It is recorded in the Biography of Liu Yu, "Eavesdropping on Jingyi, loving and other states, looking at the night with the first moon, filling the streets, gathering friends and traveling, and lighting the ground." People wear animal faces, men wear women's clothes, advocate excellent acrobatics, and are weird. Looking at each other inside and outside, they did not avoid each other...... There is no question of high or low, men and women are mixed, and there is no distinction between the primary. This is a custom that existed in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and it still exists today. ”

Su You turned his head and said: "Yuanzhen, you hurry up and buy one for Xiaoba, Alie Jiumudi is a secret person, and he has to wear a black iron mask every time he goes out to fight, Xiaoba has been envious for a long time, and he will also have a good time." ”

Yuan Zhen said with a smile: "Xiaoba is now an internal position appointed by the emperor, why hasn't he come down yet?" ”

Planting and recovering Suizhou, everyone shouted and beat among the civil ministers, but among the military ministers, it was inevitable that the rabbit and the fox would die and be sad and hateful, and even with the kind of Xiaoba, he was quite taken care of by his colleagues in the guard class.

Chong Yi had a bitter face: "Teacher, hurry up and get me out, it's not a good job to hold a spittoon." When did I do this? ”

Su You laughed: "No matter how hard you boil, you have the temperament of your family, you have always been arrogant and do not listen to commands, do not follow the instructions of your superiors, and it is good to hone it." Your brother has to wait for another year or two to do this, and it will be a matter of course. Now it's a mess, it's not people inside and out, and everyone has to wipe his ass together. ”

Shi Tong couldn't stand it anymore: "Master! Look at the road! How can anyone drive a car and still look around and tell jokes? ”
