Lights began to hang on both sides of the street, and during the day there was no color, but at night, the lights under the eaves illuminated the street, making the night as if it were day. There are many small stalls on both sides of the street, selling some cloth bags for blessings, dolls, and some small food.

Before Shangyuan, the streets in this city were already much more lively, as if even the winter cold that had not yet gone had been dispelled.

Shangyuan is the Lantern Festival, there are many customs about the Shangyuan lantern, but the main one is the lantern theory, originated from the Han Wu Emperor in the first lunar month on the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar in the palace to worship the most noble god of the gods at that time, because it is held all night, must be lit all night long, this has become the beginning of the Shangyuan Festival lantern.

Later Emperor Ming has the saying of lighting the lamp to show the Buddha, the custom of lighting the lamp flows into the folk from the palace, it is this day whether the scholars or the common people have to hang the lamp, the city and the countryside are brightly lit all night, and the whole night is worshipped.

Of course, this small city can't be as magnificent as the capital Shangyuan, but it also has a different flavor.

On the morning of the Shangyuan Festival, Gu Nan was still lazy in her courtyard, holding a water spoon in her hand, watering the flowers, while thinking about some side things, she should probably consider visiting someone recently.

But before she could figure out when to go, there was a rush of trotting outside.

It was Lingqi who ran in from outside, her face was slightly red, with some smiles, and she looked a little excited.

But when she saw Gu Nan, she quickly stopped and stood up, panting slightly and said, "Master, master." ”

"Qi'er, what's wrong?" Gu Nan looked at her with a smile, and it was rare to see her show the appearance of such a child.

"Master." Lingqi seemed to be a little apprehensive and asked in a low voice.

"Let's go see the lights together today, shall we?"

When she was in Luoyang, she saw a lantern festival, and at that time, the city was covered in red, which was as beautiful as a woman's red makeup.

She sat on her father's shoulder, and wherever she pointed, her father would squeeze through the crowd and lead her over, and her mother would follow behind and look at them with a smile, and there would be a figure in the light.

Lingqi lowered her head, she was afraid that Gu Nan would not agree.

In her memory, Gu Nan didn't like places with a lot of people.

"Okay." The voice replied with a laugh.

"When the master finishes watering these flowers, where do you want to go, the master will take you there."

The girl looked up, looked at the person who was watering the flowers with his back to her, and smiled softly: "Hmm. ”

It was almost dusk, and the city began to be noisy, Cao Hong really bought a few jars of wine, and pulled Xiahou Yuan and a few people to shout that they wanted to have a good drink.

Li Dian and Xiahou slipped out, they were going to go to the street to have a look, at least better than accompanying these killings.

Cao Cao stood in front of Cao Ang, who was sitting with a wry smile, checking his homework, although there were some things that Gu Nan taught that he didn't understand.

Cao Pi borrowed a whole book of white-clothed generals from Gu Nan a day ago, and when he borrowed it, he didn't know why, his face was flushed, and he couldn't even speak clearly. At this time, I was nesting in my room, afraid that I had been watching it for a day and a night.

The sound of people on the street in the distance was endless, and occasionally the sound of gongs and drums was heard, it should have begun to sacrifice, although Gu Nan couldn't understand what he was doing.

The afterglow shines through the thin clouds, revealing a fiery color, and the warm lights of the city are swaying in the wind, illuminating the streets and figures, and staining everyone's faces red.

Gu Nan walked forward slowly, and in front of him was a field of lights.

Behind her, Lingqi followed in small steps, her eyes looking around, her eyes full of novel colors.

The customs in various places are somewhat different, and the lights in the small town are far different from those in Luoyang City.

She looked at a small stall passing by, and there were some cloth bags on it.

She knew that it was for blessings, and her mother used to like to do it, and she would make it for her and her father every year.

She stopped, it should be the crowd that was noisy, Gu Nan didn't notice it for a while.

The stall owner looked at Lingqi and smiled.

"Little sister buy a cloth bag? It can be guaranteed to be free of illness and disaster. ”

"How much?" Lingqi glanced at the stall a few times, and asked with some embarrassment, she didn't have any money on her.

"It's all homemade, and the two of you, just a copper coin."

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart.

"Well, take two of the same." She took out a copper coin and took two identical cloth bags.

Chase after those who haven't gone far.

"Master."

Hearing the call behind her, Gu Nan turned around to look and saw Lingqi standing behind her, handing her a cloth bag in her hand.

"This can bless those who are free from illness and disaster."

The voice was a little soft, as if she was worried that she wouldn't like it.

The cloth bag is made of ordinary fabric, and it is embroidered with some female red, which is also a little good-looking.

I don't know what's inside, with a faint fragrance. It's not heavy, if it's an ordinary person, I'm afraid you have to put it in front of your nose to smell it clearly, but it smells good.

Gu Nan was stunned for a moment, then took it and tied it around his waist. Around his waist, the cloth bag was gently swayed by the wind.

She laughed and reached out to scratch the girl's nose.

"Thank you."

After saying that, he took her wrist and walked towards the front.

"Let's go, let's go see something else."

It should be because of the red in the sunset, and the white clothes on Gu Nan's body also have a little more warm color.

It was getting late, the afterglow was setting, and the lights were the only ones left in the city. The lights in the night dimmed, as if a light gauze had cast a light veil over a city. The faces of the people laughed, as if they were all in a red tent.

The streets and alleys are lively, there are people who gather to worship, there are also idle people who parade the streets, there are scholars who have admired the wind and moon and chanted poems, drunken drinkers sitting on the roadside, and women who hide their faces and smile lightly.

It's like every place, a person, a thing, can make people look at it for a while.

"Master, look." Lingqi trotted to a piece of light, which lit up the street, and a procession of sacrificial parties passed by, with crowds of people on both sides.

Gu Nan also stopped with a smile.

In the crowd, a scholar passed by and accidentally bumped into her shoulder.

"Ah, I'm sorry." The scholar turned around and apologized, but happened to see Gu Nan's hat slanting down.

The warm light reflected the man's face red.

His eyes froze.

"Nothing." Gu Nan chuckled and waved his hand.

"Auntie, girl."

The scholar's face didn't know whether it was red or blushing, and he stammered: "Little, Xiaosheng Song Xiwen, I don't know the girl's name?" ”

Gu Nan was stunned, didn't react, and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Lingqi ran over, knew at a glance what was going on, smiled and inserted between the two, pushing Gu Nan away.

"Master, let's go, let's go."

Before the scholar could come back to his senses, he had already pulled Gu Nan away.

"Girl, girl!" The scholar pushed aside the crowd and shouted, but in the thousand lights, there was no one anywhere.

When people meet, I think this side is the most beautiful.
