Chapter 107: Shangyuan Lantern Festival

[Ran^文^Library][]. []. According to the development of the Water Margin, Song Jiang has arrived in Qingfeng Village, and during the Lantern Festival, Song Jiang will be framed by Liu Gao, the wife of Qingfeng Village, as a thief, and then Hua Rong, the deputy governor of the village, will conflict with Liu Gao in order to save Song Jiang, after rescuing Song Jiang and sending him away, the unwilling Liu Gao sent someone to secretly capture Song Jiang. (Ran Library (7764))

Song Jiang is the fuse of this matter, after Liu Gao secretly caught Song Jiang, he would write to Murong Yanda to complain, Murong Yanda thought it was a discord between the chief and deputy officials, so he sent Huang Xin to investigate, Huang Xin went to Qingfeng Village to see the arrested Song Jiang, so he believed Liu Gao's false accusation, and Liu Gao designed Hua Rong together, thus also arresting Hua Rong.

Because of this, later, in order to save Song Jiang, the three thieves and robbers of Qingfeng Mountain, Wang Ying, Yan Shun, and Zheng Tianshou, robbed Huang Xin's prisoner car to escort Song Jiang and Hua Rong, and killed Liu Gao and his wife, and also beat Huang Xin back to Qingfeng Village. After Huang Xin reported to Qingzhou, Murong Yanda asked Qin Ming to personally lead his troops to attack Qingfeng Mountain.

And Song Jiang and Hua Rong are both in Qingfeng Mountain, where is Qin Ming's opponent, after capturing Qin Ming alive, in order to keep Qin Ming from falling into the grass, this is why there is a devastation in the rubble field outside Qingzhou City behind!

These plots are clear in Wu Zhi's heart, he has been here for so long, and the characters of the Water Margin have appeared one after another, which also makes Wu Zhi believe in the plot in the book, he understands that he has traveled through this era at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, but it is also the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty mixed with the heroes of the Water Margin.

It was after these twists and turns that Liangshan ushered in the first batch of fierce people, including Qin Ming, Hua Rong, Huang Xin, Wang Ying and others, all of whom went to Liangshan to see Song Jiang's face.

Whether it's to curb Yangsan's power or to avoid a repeat of the disaster in the rubble field, Wu Zhi must make a trip to Qingfeng Village immediately after the Lantern Festival!

Although Wu Zhi doesn't like Song Jiang, but after all, Song Jiang is the big protagonist of Tianzi No. 1 in the Water Margin, and he is a heavyweight, and he is about to meet Song Jiang, Wu Zhi is still very excited when he thinks about it.

It's just that Song Jiang's prestige is too high, and Wu Zhi doesn't have the slightest idea of trying to win him over, who knows if after pulling Song Jiang into his own group, Wu Zhi himself will become the second Chao Gai, who was killed by Song Jiang, and made a wedding dress for others in vain......

It's Xiao Li Guanghuarong, this person is a god general in the Water Margin, and his image is not much better than Zhao Zilong in the Three Kingdoms, and after Hua Rong was born in a famous family, he is not only proficient in martial arts and strategy, but his strength is at the head of the eight hussars in Liangshan, and his magic arrow method of piercing Yang in 100 steps is even more miraculous!

This person is a young Qiu Ma, high-spirited, Wu Zhi used to watch the Water Margin, he felt that it was a pity that Hua Rong was implicated by Song Jiang in Liangshan as a thief, and now if Wu Zhi can successfully participate in this dispute, then he will definitely protect Hua Rong with all his might, and it is best to dig it into his own camp!

However, Hua Rong is a military general, and Wu Zhi can't poach him as a restaurant security guard like he did with Lin Chong...... But sooner or later, Wu Zhi must bring it over, not for his own industry, but for Wu Song!

Now is also the time to select competent and reliable military generals for Wu Song's military road, a hero and three gangs, there are many professionals like Xiao Rang, Jiang Jing, Jin Dajian in the Water Margin, but in the final analysis, the most dazzling and brilliant in it are those heroes who can resist the Ding and have martial arts to cover the world!

Such as Lu Zhishen, Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng, Li Kui, Suo Chao, Zhang Qing and others, all of them are fierce generals!

These people, even if Wu Zhi's security team is not needed, they have to dig them to Wu Song's side to become members of Wu Song's military lineage, and the officialdom dominated by civilian officials pays attention to standing in line, but for the generals, the most important thing is to cultivate a descendant army of their own!

Although Wu Song said that his military rank is low, and he can't talk about cultivating any lineage, the lineage troops are slowly cultivated in the process of promotion in the army, so that the lineage that has experienced the ups and downs together is the most loyal and reliable.

What's more, Wu Song is now in an extremely rare environment, the Qingzhou soldiers are famous for their loyalty, courage and good fighting, and the Qingzhou soldiers are Cao Cao's descendants during the Three Kingdoms period; And many of the original Water Margin fierce generals are scattered everywhere at this time, there is Wu Zhi to pick up for him, as long as Wu Song performs well in the army in the future, then Wu Zhi can build him a strong group of fierce generals!

Let you Liangshan have five tiger generals, eight hussars, and eighteen small biao generals...... Let's all bow under the command of General Wu Song!

……

……

It's finally the day of the Lantern Festival.

Although the festivals that people attach the most importance to in the Song Dynasty are New Year's Day, the Cold Food Festival and the Winter Solstice, but this Shangyuan Lantern Festival is the most lively day on the street in the year in the capital counties of the Great Song Dynasty because of its high ornamental value, and the guessing of the word lantern riddles is full of fun.

On this day, the streets of Qingzhou City were tied up early in the continuous lamp mountains and sheds, and the Wuzhi Mansion was also full of lights, in the yard, under the eaves, in the corridors, around the pavilions, and even on the sprouting branches and rockeries in the garden, they were also hung with all kinds of lanterns by the three ladies.

In the final analysis, the average age of the three ladies is not more than twenty years old, or the age of youth and fun, under the joyful arrangement of the three ladies, Wu Zhi's entire mansion is "dressed" like a fairy tale world in the heart of a girl, and at night the lights are lit up, like a fairyland, accompanied by the three ladies in the mansion to play and watch a circle, it has dazzled Wu Zhi and is full of praise.

The tradition of eating rice balls on the Shangyuan Festival is the origin of the Song Dynasty, after eating the golden lotus filling at night, the three women wrapped the round black sesame rice balls, Wu Zhi couldn't stand the entanglement of the three daughters, and accompanied them out to the street to watch the grand occasion of the Lantern Festival.

Wu Zhi thought that no matter how grand and lively this ancient festival was, it would not be as lively as a casual celebration in later generations, and no matter how beautiful the lantern was, it was just a candle inside, how could it be compared with various high-brightness electronic lamps in later generations.

But when Wu Zhi walked out the door, he knew he was wrong.

Qingzhou City, every household, up and down the mountain tower, hundreds of thousands of lamps and candles, stretching the entire Qingzhou City, at a glance, almost in the sea of lights.

The most lively neighborhood is really a layer of superimposed on the sea of lamps in Dengshan, and these Dengshan also set up artificial waterfalls in an ingenious way: the lights are colorful, the gold and blue are shining, and the splendid scenery is ...... Use a roller to winch the water and light the top of the mountain, store it in a wooden cabinet, and put it down from time to time, like a waterfall.

In the temporary sheds on the street, all kinds of wonderful entertainment programs are performed: thaumaturgical abilities, singing and dancing, scales tangential, noisy music for more than ten miles, shooting and kicking, stepping on the rope and rod; The people watched from under the terrace, and when they were happy, they were called out.

In addition to the participation of the people, the government also spared no effort for this lantern festival, not only opened the city tower full of lanterns for the people to watch for free, but also set up a large music shed built by the government at all the city gates, and invited the city to show people to raise people to make lantern riddles on it, and the people guessed the lantern riddles, and there were rich prizes distributed by the government if they guessed correctly.

In this lively crowd of people, you can also see soldiers dressed everywhere to maintain law and order, where there is an emergency, the soldiers will be the first to deal with it. Moreover, in order to prevent children from getting lost, small sheds are set up at the entrance of alleys where there is no music shed, and shadow puppet plays are played to attract children to gather.

This strong festival atmosphere of national participation deeply shocked Wu Zhi, and there were many festivals, celebrations, and entertainment performances in later generations, but no matter how gorgeous the scene was, it was difficult for people to experience the taste of the festival.

The essence of the taste of the festival is "rare" and "faith".

Because there are rare spectacular scenes in the festival, people will be happy.

Every traditional festival in China is related to the gods, and what is praised and commemorated is truth, goodness and beauty, and what is expected is health and happiness; These good expectations can only be expressed to the gods in various ways during the festival.

Unlike religious believers and religious believers, the belief in folk gods in ancient times was national, and on the day of the festival, both men and women, young and old, felt that the gods must be looking at themselves on this day, and they were full of infinite reverie about the gods, which was the unique charm of the festival.

Later generations don't believe in any ghosts and gods Chang'e, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl... Therefore, when the festival is celebrated, not only does it not have the taste of the festival, but also loses the basic meaning of the festival - awe, remembrance and expectation.

For example, the Qixi Festival has become the opening festival, and no one will pay attention to the bright Vega star on both sides of the Milky Way and the three slightly dim cowherd stars - folklore has it that it is the cowherd who carries two cradles, and inside the cradles are his and the Zhinu's children......

The lantern festival is also a very romantic festival, the so-called "willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk", there is this beautiful scenery, young boys and girls naturally inevitably have a rippling spring heart. Those young masters, young in Wuling, are either leading their favorite little maids, or the wonderful beauties with the Qinglou, or the young lady next door who deliberately separated from their families to come to the appointment...... Shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand, wandering together in this romantic sea of lights.

However, those young men are far worse than Wu Zhike, surrounded by three stunning beauties around Wu Zhi, the three girls are having fun, and the laughter is endless, but many young talents are full of envy, jealousy, and hatred for Wu Zhi's eyes.

After turning most of Qingzhou City, Wu Zhi wanted to take the three ladies to the top floor of the proud building to watch it again, but the guards behind him reported that the top floor of the proud building had been chartered tonight.

It is the tallest building in Qingzhou, and it is not strange to be chartered, of course, it is Wu Zhi's own industry, if Wu Zhi has to go to the top floor of the proud building now, as long as the person who charters the house is not Wu Zhi's acquaintance, then Wu Zhi will say a word, Zhang Tong will immediately clear the top floor and wait for Wu Zhi to come.

It's just that the three ladies are not willful people, and Wu Zhi didn't want to offend anyone for no reason like this, so they went home after they had fun walking on the street.

The mothers-in-law and maids in the house also came back early, Xiao Taoyue was taken out to play by Brother Yun who had just returned from the field the day before yesterday, and when she saw Wu Zhi and others coming back, she took a cup of fun and delicious food to Sanniang Xue'er and excitedly introduced, looking at the smiling face, it seemed that she hadn't had enough fun......

……

Outside the mansion, there was still a red light of a lantern, and in the lights of the city, no one would notice that a bright white moon was hanging in the sky at this time.

Compared with the flickering and prosperity of the lights in the world, the faint fluorescence of the bright moon is cold and calm like water, Wu Zhi lay on the bed and carefully stared at the moonlight reflected on the floor of the bedroom through the window, Hu Sanniang beside him had fallen asleep, and his long legs were lazily on Wu Zhi's belly.

Wu Zhi carefully lifted Sanniang's calf and gently put it on the bed, and then Wu Zhi tiptoed out of the hot quilt and came to the window......

Seeing the bright moon in the sky that was exactly the same as in the future, and thinking of tonight's Qingfeng Village, which was destined to be a night that would not be peaceful, Wu Zhi couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart!

"Life is infinite from generation to generation, and the bright moon is only similar every year......"

"Hey!"

sighed because Wu Zhigang wanted to sing a poem lyrically, but found that he only remembered this sentence, and he couldn't hold back the rest anymore...... I wanted to take advantage of the beautiful scenery to play on myself, but I found that I didn't have this level at all......

Shaking his head helplessly, Wu Zhi had no choice but to crawl back to his hot bed.

Wu Zhi had to admit that he was a layman, and he couldn't become a literati, or a gentle beauty in his arms!
