Chapter 489: Shangyuan Lantern Festival (II)

The Shangyuan Lantern Festival in Chongwenmen will be slightly exaggerated, and the streets are full of colorful lanterns, and any lantern may be worth a few dollars of silver or even a few taels of silver, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.

And the market around Chongwenmen will also be complicated and chaotic, there will be many small traders around, as well as people from three religions and nine streams, mixed with fish and dragons.

At this time, Zhao Yuanxuan, the lord of Huaizhu County, had just gotten off the carriage and walked a short distance, when he felt that he had plunged into an unfamiliar environment, and he couldn't even distinguish the direction.

"Oops!" Zhao Yuanxuan suddenly saw so many lanterns and so many people in front of him, and while feeling dazzled, he would also be a little dizzy, and people were a little unstable.

Xiao Li hurriedly went to support her young lady and asked, "County Lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhao Yuanxuan nodded Xiao Li's head, and said angrily: "What county lord?" You're shouting so much on the street, don't everyone else hear it? Call Me Miss...... No, it's calling my son! ”

"Oh, got it, Childe." Xiao Qian touched the case of his little brain and said, "What's wrong with Childe?" ”

"Alas! It's not good to say what's wrong, you have to bring a little crepe language to show that you are a scholar from a scholarly family, you should say, what happened to the son...... Hehe, forget it, I don't force you to know too much, you are responsible for contacting the guards, investigating where Ji Gongzi is, and telling me as soon as possible, but you can't get separated in the end, if I find Ji Yongning, I will ask you! ”

Zhao Yuanxuan's attitude, first hot and then cold, made Xiao Qian very unhappy.

Xiao Qian thought to herself: "The county lord must have been overthinking Chun, how could Ji Gongzi have been waiting for her on the street?" People will also have friends and relatives to accompany them, if I can't find anyone, then I'm not miserable? ”

Zhao Yuanxuan didn't pay attention to her little maid's embarrassment, and when she got out of the initial discomfort with the surrounding city, she gradually let go.

Because she realized one thing, there were guards with her, and there were quite a few guards, and even if someone came to harass her, these guards would help her solve the problem.

"I'll play happily first, and then have a chance encounter with Ji Ning in the end, and then make a difficult lantern riddle difficult to kill him, hum, let him always ...... with this county Childe is against you! Zhao Yuanxuan clenched his little fist tightly and said.

Xiao Qian said: "Childe, didn't you say that you still want to go to the Imperial City?" I heard that there is a poetry club over there, maybe Ji Gongzi will also go over? ”

"Wait until he passes, why are you so verbose? Come to the Lantern Festival, just hang out, fancy something to buy for you, don't walk around, I heard that there are many traffickers in this place, especially if you are a delicate little girl, you will definitely be abducted and sold in the poor countryside. Zhao Yuanxuan threatened.

This scared Xiao Qian half to death, she quickly tightened her clothes, for fear that she would be recognized as a man, she thought: "As long as others don't know that I'm a girl, they shouldn't kidnap me, right?" Girls can still have children when they turn back, what do men do when they turn back? No, if you kidnap me and go back to work as a coolie, it will be broken, and I don't have the strength...... They're girls now, and they're probably going to ...... me."

Zhao Yuanxuan was interested in watching the lanterns in the front, while Xiao Qian was thinking nonsense in the back, the master and servant also had their own characteristics, but they didn't seem to be in the same rhythm and frequency.

……

……

Compared with Zhao Yuanxuan's cheerfulness, Ji Ning's visit to the lantern festival was much more indifferent.

There will be a lot of activities at the lantern fair, some businesses in order to make their lanterns better to sell, will hold some activities to guess the lantern riddles, who goes up to guess the lantern riddles, you can get the lanterns, although these lanterns are not very valuable, but the colorful dress, take it to the girl's home, maybe you can win the heart of the girl's family.

Shangyuan Festival is almost the same as Valentine's Day in this era.

In this era, there are no dating, and it is rare for men and women to travel together, but you can always see one or two young ladies who come out with their family members and relatives, and they are hugged everywhere they go.

If it is really the girl's family who comes out by herself, most of them have to make men's clothes, because this world is not very peaceful, especially in a place like Chongwenmen, where there are a lot of teeth, and girls don't dare to go out casually, so as not to be stunned by someone with a cloth and take people away, even if something happens, it is difficult to find the culprit.

"Yongning, let's try to guess the riddle, if we can't guess it, we'll buy one or two back, haha, it's better than nothing, take it out and be seen, and think we won it back by learning!" Tang Xie is a little opportunistic, he just tactfully explained a method.

This is also a marketing tool for merchants.

The lanterns that can be obtained by guessing the lantern riddles can also be obtained with money, and the guests take the lanterns in their hands and give them to the ladies who come out to visit the lantern festival, saying that they have won back with their talents and gifts, and they may achieve a good story.

Ji Ning said with a smile: "This is not a meeting at the Qiqi Magpie Bridge, how many pairs of good couples can be promoted by the Shangyuan Lantern Festival?" It's too grand to make a fuss about this, isn't it? ”

Han Yuyi waved his hand and said: "Yongning has to expose the matter, it's boring, it's because there is expectation, it's fun, if you can achieve a lot of right, then it shouldn't be rare, rare is rare There will always be such a good story every year, although it is few, but everyone yearns for themselves to be the one who can meet with everyone at the Lantern Festival, so there will be so many young people to participate in this Lantern Festival!" ”

Ji Ning nodded, just smiled and said nothing.

Tang Xie suddenly pointed to the Chongwenmen River in the distance and said, "There are river lanterns over there, let's go over and have a look?" ”

Ji Ning followed the crowd to the direction of the river, at this time the activity of releasing river lanterns was still in progress, but because it was too cold this winter, the waterways of Chongwenmen were basically frozen, in order to cooperate with the festival, someone smashed a piece of water surface in a very small area of the Chongwenmen river that day, so that the people who put the river lanterns ran over to gather, and also squeezed the water on the bank of the waterway.

"I thought I could go over and have a look, who knew that this year was really a disappointment, so let's go back and buy a river lantern, write a wish, and let people go over after midnight to put it, just take it as a heart!" Tang Xie said with some disappointment.

Ji Ning said: "Letting others put river lanterns is always insincere!" ”

"What can I do? Otherwise, we can only put the sky lantern, but this sky lantern is not very easy to put it, no matter what, it is not too early, we should also find a good Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and find a confidant to spend the night together, such a beautiful scenery, how can there be no beauty to accompany you? Tang explained.

Han Yu reminded: "Ben also said to go to the poetry club, but didn't go?" ”

"No, no, no." Tang Xie smiled, "The beauty is gracious, besides...... It's too cold outside. ”
