Since that day in the drunken fairy building after the elegant gathering, time has passed four or five days quickly, that day Yu Youwei finally tried to sing a song "Eternal Happiness", although her singing skills are very good, but the whole song is sung, more than sad, heroic enough, so the next two Yu Youwei did not sing again, these days have been staying in Cao Yi's seat, has been practicing how to sing these three words well. Cao Yi and Yu Youwei are in the same room, and they are naturally willing to listen to the latter singing repeatedly, no matter what, Yu Youwei has a beautiful voice, beautiful singing, and her appearance and figure are pleasing to the eye, such a number one person has been performing for Cao Yi, why shouldn't he do it.

Jin'er, as Yu Youwei's maid, is naturally accompanied by her these days, Cao Yi sometimes pulls Jin'er to play backgammon, but the latter's chess strength is getting more and more profound, Cao Yi is basically losing more and winning less when playing chess with her, and generally only one or two games can be won in ten games. Occasionally, he would answer a few questions from Yu Youwei.

"Childe, it would be better if the pitch should be raised here." and so on. Of course, more often it's just Yu Youwei's self-talk, although Cao Yi can "write" poems, but he doesn't know much about the rhythm of this era, although he consciously learns Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu and Pingping, but in front of Yu Youwei, the music and rhythm master, he still doesn't dare to comment too much on this aspect, otherwise it will be easy to find out that he doesn't understand the rhythm but can write many good words strangely.

Whenever Yu Youwei asks a question or answers herself, Cao Yi will echo and say a few irrelevant words, or show a little appreciation, at this time, Yu Youwei will often show joy on her face, and then continue to study how to sing with a sense of grandeur. Of course, Tan Yun is also the most cheerful person who runs to the elegant seat these days, although after the Spring Festival, the work she has been assigned has become more, but she has always been flexible, and her hands and feet are quick and fast, and she almost does it with half the effort, and is full of efficiency, so she has a lot of time to run to the elegant seat, and every time she comes in and goes out, she can bring some melons, fruits and pastries out.

As for Taitai Mingde and Tantai Yunlan, they also have their own arrangements, Tantai Mingde and Musk Yue, and Raider, have been following Red Sleeves, learning how to manage the Drunken Immortal Building alone, and Shantai Yunlan, the old master invited by Cao Yi to teach enlightenment knowledge, together with the Tai Yunlan, as well as those waiters in the Drunken Immortal Building, Tantai Yunlan is all the class hours, and the waiters are arranging shifts, Cao Yi's goal is to let these waiters also have the opportunity to read and write, after all, knowledge changes destiny This sentence, It doesn't matter which dynasty it is placed in, it is correct.

Cao Yi promised them that he hoped that they would be able to walk out of this drunken immortal building in the future, instead of being waiters for the rest of their lives. However, these people's foundations are very poor, and they can teach them once, and they basically have to teach them three or four times before they can remember and understand. If it is in a private school outside, these students belong to the kind of people who are not gifted and suitable for doing hard work, and the teacher will quickly lose patience, and in the process of teaching, the attitude will deteriorate, and these students will not dare to show that they do not understand or understand, and then they will not be interested in learning because they can't keep up, and even have disgust.

So Cao Yi specially mentioned this aspect when he invited the master to sit in the hall to teach, and specially gave the master twice the monthly money for this purpose, which was called the patience fee, at first the master didn't know much what the patience fee was, and he knew what it meant after teaching for a day, but for the sake of this money, the master still stayed in the "lecture hall" in the drunken fairy building, the most important thing is that the Taibai drunk tube here is enough, as long as he doesn't get drunk, this alone is to make him twice as patient

, and he was willing.

Time is spent in the bustling, the days are also passing day by day, according to the practice of the Great Yan Dynasty, the Lantern Festival and the Spring Festival are all national festivals, starting from the twelfth day of the first month, Jiangning City began to be lit up, until the eighteenth day of the first month will be completely lit down, plus three days before and after, a total of seven days. As the most enthusiastic for eating and playing among the people, Tan Yun, from the tenth day of the first month, has been looking forward to the arrival of the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first month.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, it is more firecrackers continuously, the lights are like dragons, just like the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jiangning City is not closed the city gate on the same day, some people will follow the dragon and lion dance team, from the Confucius Temple along the Qinhuai River, holding lanterns, all the way to follow, the city is naturally indispensable to enjoy the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, fireworks and a series of activities, the excitement of this night is not the same as the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival is basically Yongyue thoughts, in addition to the female moon worship family reunion, there are various activities to play the moon, but basically all are family units, Among the literati and writers, poetry and writing will be used to sing the moon for the Mid-Autumn Festival, so people will also pay more attention to appreciating the poetry of literati in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The Lantern Festival seems to be more like a carnival for the whole people, in the days when the lights are on, everyone has gone out of the house, calling friends, shopping and appreciating, chanting poems, piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and hops, and good scenery.

As for the day of the Lantern Festival, the talented and beautiful people all go out to play one by one, enjoy the flowers together, guess the lantern riddles, visit the temple fair, guess the poems, invite friends, raise a glass and drink together, the market is noisy, the tourists are like weaving, the beauty is like a cloud, and the grand occasion is for a while.

The maids of Qingyun Pavilion had already made an appointment to play together during the Lantern Festival, and also asked Cao Yi to watch together, Cao Yi originally promised to be together, but early in the morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, he received an invitation sent by the mad man, and on the night of the Lantern Festival, a banquet will be held, and at the same time, the famous old Hongru in Jiangning City, the talents of the major colleges, and the heads of the various Qinglou gathered together, and the sages gathered, sang about the wine, and wrote poems. However, although this time is also nominally called a dinner party, it should be called a cocktail party, and the time is set at the beginning of the year, not a normal dinner time.

And it's not a poetry competition, it's purely the same as the Lanting Yaji in the Wei and Jin dynasties, everyone gets together in a way similar to the Qushui Liuzhen, and the major talented scholars exchange the occasional masterpieces after school or college, and take them out for Su Lao and Hongru to comment, although they may be judged the best poems of this party, but there are no prizes and specific rankings, so the atmosphere at this time is relatively not as tense as the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year is still there, The Lantern Festival is another festival celebrated by the whole world, and the whole event is a joyful atmosphere.

Of course, sometimes the old man will also be itchy because of the talent competition to steal the limelight from each other, according to Cao Yi in "Jiang Chengzi" is the old man talking about juvenile madness, but although there are such examples, but it is still very rare, after all, the fist is afraid of less strong, and the poetry competition is the same, these old men should naturally win, if they happen to lose to young people, they will definitely be a little weaker in personal prestige and momentum, which will damage their image of high morality.

Because the time is different from the dinner time in Cao Yi's impression, Cao Yi changed his original plan, and first ate with the maids of Qingyun Pavilion and the two brothers and sisters of Yutai Mingde and Yu Youwei's master and servant in the evening, and then went to the street to guess lantern riddles and watch lanterns.

When it comes to the street, it is Cao Yi and Red Sleeves, Yu Youwei and Jin'er in a group of four, and the others can be combined into one group or split into two groups. Cao Yi asked the red sleeves to give each of them the usual money, which was used to buy some snacks and snacks, and they could taste a little bit of everything, at this time, there were many kinds of snacks on the Lantern Festival, but the prices were very cheap, the most expensive ones were just a few tens of dollars, and they were all popular delicacies, so for Tan Yun and Tantai Yunlan, it was enough for them to eat all-you-can-eat.

Red Sleeves also went to participate in this dinner was specially brought over by Cao Yi, and now Red Sleeves is the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Building, and the manager of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, and the background of the various characters she comes into contact with in the future will also be improved accordingly, Cao Yi is deliberately taking her to meet a few more people, for the way of business, connections are money, and it is always no harm to know more high-level people.

And Yu Youwei received an invitation from the madman alone, although she has been redeemed by Cao Yi, but anyway, she is still the first Oiran in Jiangning City, and this Lantern Festival party is an elegant and prosperous era of talented and beautiful people in Jiangning City, so it is naturally very normal to invite Yu Youwei, as the maid of the first Oiran, Jin'er will also participate with her young lady.

Whether it was Cao Yi and others who were going to go to the Mad Mansion's Mansion to participate in the Lantern Festival party, or everyone who didn't go, they didn't eat too much at dinner, because they had to leave an empty stomach to fill in later. A group of people, led by Cao Yi, walked out of the main gate of the Drunken Immortal Building, swam along the Qinhuai River, looked at the lanterns, guessed the lantern riddles, and ate snacks. The whole street is very lively, there are all kinds of food stalls shouting, dragon and lion dances and other juggling performances, and even the circus performances of the Hu people, in addition to the flames of various lanterns and the heat rising from the stoves of the vendors on both sides of the street, the whole Jiangning City is dyed with great noise, and it is full of fireworks in a song and dance in the peace.

Tan Yun led Yunlan to the front, carrying the lanterns of the rabbit and the foal respectively, basically seeing the snacks they were interested in at the snack stall, they would buy and taste a bite, if it was delicious, eat a few more bites, if the taste of Tan Yun was average, he would hand it to the sisters behind him, and each person would solve it with one bite, and Tan Yunlan would hand it to his brother, and let his brother solve it if he couldn't finish eating. Cao Yi couldn't help but shake his head when he saw it, these two carefree little Lori, no matter what they did, looked full of joy, Cao Yi told Musk Yue and Tangtai Mingde to take good care of them, don't let them go too far from sight, otherwise now the streets are full of people, all gathered together, and it is easy to get lost.

"Childe, what is the mystery of 'Cloud Breaking Moon and Flower Shadow Shattering'?" Tan Yun, who had been running to the front, suddenly ran to Cao Yi and asked in a low voice, with a smile in his eyebrows and eyes, bent into a waning moon, which was very infectious.

"It should be the word 'can', right?"

"What do you mean by 'five sentences'?"

"Three words, huh?" Cao Yi replied with a smile.

"What about the 'blind man touching the elephant'?" Tan Yun asked again, thanks to her good memory, she could still remember so many riddles.

Cao Yi touched her head, which was already messed up, and said with a smile: "This lantern riddle is about you!" ”

"Me?" Tan Yun showed a surprised expression, and asked in disbelief, "Is it the word Tan Yun?" ”

Musk Yue looked at Tan Yun dotingly, and said with a smile: "Childe is saying that you 'don't know the general situation'?" ”
