Lanterns, lanterns, lantern wheels, singing and dancing and all kinds of shops that are open all night, millions of happy people, Chang'an has become a sea of joy, whether it is a dignitary or an ordinary person, a tourist, while eating and playing while watching, sometimes singing and dancing with the beat, to release the happiness in the heart.

At the happiest time, Zheng Peng got off the Songzhu Building and went straight home.

As soon as Zheng Peng left, Li Bai, Guo Ziqi and others also followed, but Lan Duo and the others just hesitated and quickly followed back.

Zheng Peng spent ten days making lanterns, threatening to pay attention to the whole city, but the lantern festival began to refuse to take it out, and he was ashamed to say that he would let others "throw bricks" first, and he would "lead jade" in the end, so as not to let others work in vain, and Zhenzhen said that it is a gentleman to think about others.

Landuo has always held an attitude of disbelief, just waiting to slap Zheng Peng in the face.

Since Zheng Peng started to make lanterns, Lan Duo has been paying attention, although she can't go into Shengyefang's house to watch, but she knocked on the left and knew that Zheng Peng took some cloth and silk from home, and a total of less than 1,000 yuan was paid.

The palace maids who are parading have to pay more than 500 yuan in their outfits, and Zheng Peng's money to make lanterns is not enough for the heads of two ordinary palace maids, so he still wants the whole city to pay attention?

Back at Shengyefang's house, Zheng Peng didn't say a word more, and shouted loudly: "People, quickly bring out the lantern of Young Master Ben." ”

"Young Master, right away." Huang San is worthy of being the number one "dog leg", and he is the first to respond to everything.

Soon, a group of servants brought out the lantern created by Zheng Peng, and when Lan Duo saw the lantern in Huang San's hand, he first froze, his eyes were as big as a bull's eye, and he said in surprise: "Zheng Peng, you, you make it a lantern?" ”

Zheng Peng smiled: "Young Master Ben said that to attract the attention of the whole city, you have to make this attention not discounted." ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Peng roared loudly: "What are you doing, preparing to put lanterns." ”

Lan Duo's surprised expression made Zheng Peng very proud, and Song Jing's depressed expression also made Zhang Shuo on the side angry.

The folk lantern parade continues, and the battle for lanterns has come to an end.

Li Longji did not know where he belonged, he lit a marquee lantern called "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu", this lamp is beautifully shaped, the characters depicted in the lantern are lifelike, generally speaking, when the lamp is turning, it is already very good to turn out more than ten pictures, but this marquee lamp uses the way of a scroll, and it is enough to turn out thirty-six pictures.

During the parade, Li Longji also led people to go down to the city tower to watch, and after the palace lantern festival entered the climax, people carried the "Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu" on the city tower.

When the eunuch went to get the lantern, Gao Lishi was already waiting with a red pen on the side.

After the lantern was brought up, Li Longji lit it on the lantern with a red pen, which is called lighting the lantern, and the Zhu pen dotting the champion is the same reason, and the lantern that is lit is the lantern.

The reason why Zhang Shuo was happy was very simple, this lantern that was named by Li Longji and brought up to the city tower was from Chang'an County.

That is, in this bet, the god of victory is already on Zhang's side.

Song Jing was a little unwilling, but he still reluctantly smiled and said to Zhang that he would congratulate him.

After the "Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu" marquee was picked up, Li Longji admired it again, and then said happily: "What a Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu, this lantern is really exquisite, Lux, Zhu Bi is waiting." ”

"Your Majesty, Zhu Bi is here." Gao Lishi respectfully sent the red pen to Li Longji.

In front of everyone's eyes, I saw Li Longji take the red pen and light it towards the lantern, however, when the red pen was less than an inch away from the lantern, the red pen suddenly stopped.

Zhang Shuo became nervous, his eyes stared at the red pen, and he kept chanting in his heart: point down, point down......

I thought that Li Longji was pretending to make his courtiers nervous and then slowly click Zhu, but Zhu pen didn't go down for a long time, just a few breaths, but Zhang Rui felt extremely long.

Looking up to see what was going on, I saw that Li Longji's gaze did not fall on the lantern, and looked at him with his gaze, Zhang Shuo's pupils shrank, and he couldn't help but read it aloud: "God bless the Tang Dynasty, the country and the people are safe." ”

In the direction of Shengye Fang, I don't know when two huge, similar to the round tent things rose, from a distance it looks like a fire, hovering in the air, under the two ignition tents, hanging two lines of glyph lanterns, respectively, Tianyou Datang and Guotai Min'an.

The characters are wrapped in red silk and lit with candles, which are made in the form of lanterns and then strung together.

The surface of the silk seems to be stained with a lot of gold leaf, and the light that comes from nowhere illuminates it sparkling, and it looks spectacular and eye-catching from a distance.

It should be the attention of the whole city, from a distance, the two lines of huge characters, higher than the light wheel built by the palace, Zhang said that it can be guaranteed that the entire Chang'an City can be clearly seen.

Yao Chong said in surprise: "That, what is that, it can actually fly into the sky." ”

"Yes, it's amazing, it's fun and auspicious to make words into lanterns and rise into the air." Li Longye, the king of Qi, said with interest.

"It's not like Kong Ming lantern, what is this thing?" Song Jing was also a little puzzled.

Zhang Shuo seemed to think of something, hesitated, and said with some uncertainty: "In the Battle of Liancheng, the key to the victory of the Tang army is to use a thing called a hot air balloon, which is said to have been created by Zheng Peng, the general of Dingyuan, could this be the lantern put by General Zheng?" ”

At this time, Kang Zhongming, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who accompanied the foreign mission, came over and respectfully saluted Li Longji: "Inoue Kozaburo of the Fuso Mission asked, what is that lantern that can magically float in the air?" ”

Li Longji didn't know what was going on, but this kind of trivial matter couldn't bother him, he looked left and right, pointed at Guo Ziyi and said, "You go and see what's going on." ”

"Obey" Guo Ziyi was overjoyed, hurriedly saluted, and then quickly went down the city tower.

After Guo Ziyi left, Gao Lishi looked at the lantern that was still waiting to be lit and said, "Your Majesty, this...."

Li Longji put the red pen on the gold plate, and then waved his hand casually.

Gao Lishi understood, and said to the little eunuch with the lantern, "Go down first." ”

I thought this marquee was good just now, but the two-line glyph-shaped lantern appeared suddenly, the lantern was not only novel and interesting, but also the words "God bless the Tang Dynasty, Guotai and Min'an" were also very appetizing to Li Longji.

If there is no accident, this lamp will change hands.

The appearance of the glyph-shaped lantern attracted the attention of the emperor, ministers and foreign envoys on the city tower, and caused a sensation among the people who watched the lanterns.

"What is this lantern called, it's so special."

"The lanterns are wonderful, and the meaning is good."

"I heard that the emperor also noticed that the lantern of the Three Heroes Battle Lu Bu just now was taken to the city tower, but in the end, I took it back without ordering Zhu, hehe, this lantern is afraid that it will change hands."

"What kind of family is this family that came up with such a clever idea?"

"It's really amazing, you can go to heaven by lighting a fire, do you think there are any immortals in this house?"

"I didn't expect that the most special lantern only appeared at this time."

Outside the wall, a group of people talked and praised a lot, and in the courtyard, Zheng Peng sat in the free chair, Xiaoyin carefully pounded his legs that stood a little sore, Lin Xun thoughtfully sent the cut fruit to Zheng Peng's mouth, and Zheng Peng calmly commanded while enjoying the service of the two women: "Huang San, pull the rope well, don't let the words dangle around, Ah Cai, you guys should put the angle of the iron plate better, otherwise the light will not be enough." ”

Zheng Peng was afraid that the words were not eye-catching enough, so he thought of a way, let people get a batch of copper mirrors, and also let people polish and polish a few large iron plates, set up a few bonfires in the yard, and use the method of refraction to send the light to the gold leaf pasted by the font lantern.

In this way, two rows of zigzag lanterns shine in the sky above Chang'an City, and it is difficult not to attract attention.

Li Longji was attracted by the font lantern at the last moment of ordering Zhu, and he did not fall Zhu in the end.

"How about it, this lantern is the attention of the whole city, right?" Zheng Peng swallowed a piece of candied fruit and said a little arrogantly.

"Young master, you really have a way." Lin Xun'er looked at Zheng Peng's eyes, full of tenderness, and said with a look of adoration.

Zheng Bing said happily: "Brother, you are really amazing, my little sister is the most convinced of you." ”

"Zheng Gongzi is resourceful and talented, and Ziqi is willing to bow down."

"Taibai has always thought that his intelligence is rarely matched, compared with Gongzi, it is like the light of fireflies, how can he compete with Haoyue" Li Bai bowed to Zheng Peng very seriously: "Gongzi is talented, Taibai is also willing to bow down." ”

A group of maids and servants sang like a tide, making Zheng Peng a little fluttering.

"County Lord, how about it, what Young Master Ben said, is there a discount?" Zheng Peng turned his head and said to Lan Duo with a smile.

There are so many people, only Lan Duo has not expressed her position, and among so many people, she has the most opinions about herself.

Lan Duo was a little unwilling, but in the end he said convincingly: "The lord of this county is not a person who is messing around, although I can't get used to your arrogant appearance, but I have to admit that you really have a way of doing things." ”

Using the hot air balloon used to attack Liancheng here, and then using worthless bamboo and yarn to tie a few words, and then using some copper mirrors and iron plates, to create such a dazzling effect, Lan Duo was shocked by Zheng Peng's whimsical idea.

As for the effect, you don't need to ask, just know the movement coming from outside the wall.

With these words, Zheng Peng said with some pride: "Not only one set, there are many more sets for Young Master Ben." ”

It is an achievement to be able to make a proud county lord like Landuo say a word.

Lan Duo pouted: "It's a pity, the left side door is the left side door, you can't get to the elegant hall, if you have the ability, go and get a lamp back, then it's worth showing off." ”

This Zheng Peng just can't praise him, praise him, and his tail is cocked.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "Young Master Ben is in the limelight too much, so you have to keep a low profile and let others be in the limelight." ”

Lan Duo rolled her eyes at Zheng Peng and said disapprehantly: "I'm really not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue." ”

Suddenly, a hearty and excited voice came from outside the door: "Third brother, where is the third brother?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to take a look, only to see Guo Ziyi, who was wearing a uniform and carrying a horizontal knife at his waist, strode in.

"Second brother, why did you come back, didn't you say you were on duty?" Guo Ziqi saw Guo Ziyi come back, and said with some surprise.

Shangyuan Festival, it is best to spend it with relatives, now there is only one person, although Zheng Peng is with him, but he still feels a little lonely.

Guo Ziyi patted his younger brother on the shoulder and said happily: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I have grown strong again, the food here is good, eat more." ”

"Second brother, what are you talking about" Guo Ziqi was thin-skinned and a little embarrassed on the spot.

Listening to the second brother, it doesn't cost money to eat here, so you have to take advantage of it.

Seeing Guo Ziyi coming, Zheng Peng hurriedly stood up: "Big brother, why are you here, are you on duty?" ”

Guo Ziyi pointed to the word lamp hanging in the sky: "This thing attracted so-and-so." ”

After a pause, Guo Ziyi said happily: "When I saw this lantern in the city tower, I guessed that it was the handwriting of the third brother, and only a smart person like you would think of such a wonderful method, when the emperor lit the lantern, he saw that the lantern was not lit, and ordered me to bring someone to him, third brother, quickly follow the brother, the emperor is waiting to see you in the Suzaku Gate Tower, and it is estimated that you will light your lantern as a lantern." ”

"No, the emperor will let me go?"

"Otherwise, for my brother is also to do things by order, there are many envoys from Fusang Kingdom who asked the emperor, saying what the name of the lamp hanging in the air is, and the emperor can't answer, so he sent me to find someone, hurry up, don't let the emperor wait in a hurry."

Zheng Peng looked at the clothes on his body, and said with some embarrassment: "Big brother wait, let the younger brother change into official clothes first." ”

"No, this is very decent, let's go, the horse is ready outside the door." Speaking of this, Guo Ziyi said with some envy: "The emperor wants to see him by name, a certain new champion of science and martial arts will accompany you personally, and the imperial guards will open the way for you, third brother, you are going to be in the limelight again this time." ”

"Okay, let's go."

In the envious eyes of everyone, Zheng Peng strode out.

When passing in front of Lan Duo, Zheng Peng shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and said a little depressedly: "Excellent people, if you want to be low-key, you can't do it at all, you have to wait until this time to put the lights, county lord, you see, the emperor has to be the lamp, alas..."

Rando was a little dumbfounded, opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.

I really don't know what to say to this almost demonic Zheng Peng.

Wu Zhuangyuan was accompanied, and the imperial guards personally opened the way, and in the overcrowded Shangyuan Festival, Zheng Peng once again took the limelight:

"You see, it's Zheng Dacai, so many imperial guards open the way for him, what is this for?"

"See, just now the old man said that the lantern was made by Zheng Dacai, now I believe it."

"Yes, yes, yes, the battle of Liancheng, it was General Zheng who used that hot air balloon, and the divine soldiers descended from the sky, and now he is using the hot air balloon to add joy to the Shangyuan Festival, which is really smart."

"Look, it's Zheng Gongzi, Zheng Gongzi, Xiao Tuan'er of the slave family, the slave family is waiting for you in Qunfang Courtyard tonight, see you or leave."

"Zheng Gongzi, I want a little girl, and I am willing to be a servant and a little girl for Zheng Gongzi."
