3. Lantern Festival
The snow melts away, and it's the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye. Since the founding of Gaozu Zhu Yuanzhang, he attaches great importance to this festival, and has specially ordered the civil and military officials and the people to go out to enjoy the lanterns on the night of the Lantern Festival, and has canceled the night ban for ten consecutive days. When it comes to the time of becoming an ancestor, begin to put up the lanterns in the noon gate city tower, look up to the flowers from afar, like a fairyland, and the chela mountain lights placed outside the noon gate are also a scene, the so-called chela mountain lights, is to pile thousands of lanterns into a mountain, until it is as high as thirteen layers, it looks like a giant chela general, so it is called chela mountain, each color lamp is alive and flexible, there are eight immortals to cross the sea, there are to make Magu to offer longevity, there are also to make a hundred birds and a phoenix...... All of this, vividly, looks amazing. In order to enjoy the world, Chengzu also ordered that the noon gate was open to the officials and the people for three days at this time, everyone could play at the noon gate, and the hundred officials had a ten-day long holiday. From the 11th to the 20th of the first month of the Shangyuan Festival this year, the officials have holidays every day, and he has leisure to rest and do nothing. There is something important, and it is clearly written and sealed. The people put lamps on the people, and from him they drank and had fun. The soldiers and horses can't help it, don't disturb the life at night, and it will always be the rule. Since then, the Lantern Festival has become a grand event in the empty alleys of Beijing.
Up to now, Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde is very lively again, the Lantern Festival is more noticeable than before, the lamp of Cheshan is more beautiful, and the style is more diverse, there are golden lotus lamps, jade floor lamps, lotus lanterns, hibiscus lamps, hydrangea lamps, snowflake lamps, Xiucai lamps, daughter-in-law lamps...... It makes people dazzled and blind, and on the night of the Lantern Festival, fireworks are set off at the noon gate, reflecting the sky like day, and the fireworks in the sky are in various forms, and the light and shadow are flowing, which makes people feel that the moon is not bright and the dew cannot be revealed. This Lantern Festival in the fourteenth year of Zhengde is also very grand, the night of the ceremonial flowers, the fireworks are bright, the meteors fly, the sky is rendered extraordinarily gorgeous, a cluster of fireworks blooms in the sky, it is really beautiful, it is breathtaking, countless people stand in the capital to see this magical scene, the intuition is overjoyed, overjoyed. Among the clusters of pedestrians on the street, Ding Si also stopped among them, and he was pulled out by Guan Biyue. Under Guan Biyue's care, he quickly recovered from typhoid fever, but Rao is like this, and others are also wilted, which is quite boring and idle. Guan Biyue also knew that he also tied his heart to catching thieves and thieves, so he often found something for him to do, so that he would not feel too idle, how could Ding Si always be not interested, Guan Biyue was afraid that he would get sick, so he took advantage of the Lantern Festival to pull him out to relax. Although Guan Biyue is old, her temperament is still a little lively, and she can't help but be excited when she is full of fireworks, and she is happy like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, Ding Si saw her like this, funny and angry, so he praised her in her ear: "You don't know how many such fireworks you have seen, it seems to be the first time you have seen it, it is really youthful and rejuvenated." ”
Guan Biyue heard him make fun of herself, so she glanced at Ding Si sideways, and said disapprerovingly: "Such a beautiful scene is like a fairyland in the sky, I feel excited every time I see it, how can it be like you, old-fashioned, like an old man." After speaking, he grabbed Ding Si's hand again, and shouted repeatedly: "All the best, this fireworks are all the best." As she shouted, Ding Si looked at the sky from afar, only to see a huge ceremonial flower blooming in the sky, this ceremonial flower occupies half of the sky, and each petal is constantly changing color, just like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers. Ding Si has been busy in recent years, rarely idle to watch the fireworks, today when I see this beautiful "all the best", I can't help but be stunned, only to feel that this fireworks are extremely beautiful, it is really worry-free, but in the blink of an eye this fireworks are extinguished in the sky, although there are still fireworks rising behind, but there are few beautiful fireworks. Ding Si couldn't help but sigh secretly: Everyone asks for all the best, but I don't know that all the good things are also fleeting, there are still many unsatisfactory things in this world, and there are few wishful times.
He was sighing a little here, and suddenly heard Guan Biyue sighing in his ear: "I am really satisfied that you can spare me to watch this fireworks." ”
When Ding Si heard her say this, he suddenly felt a little sorry for Guan Biyue, he has been busy for so many years, Guan Biyue respects the old man at home and raises his son, and worries about himself every day, which is really a little cold to her. Thinking about it like this, Ding Si was a little uncomfortable, and said as if he was a guilty person: "This day is still long, and I will accompany you to watch this fireworks every year in the future, until you get tired of watching it." ”
Guan Biyue smiled in the moonlight, with indescribable joy, Ding Si saw that there were fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes on her face, and her appearance was no longer when she was young, and she couldn't help but be slightly stunned: I never noticed that Ah Bi was getting old before, so it can be seen that this time has really passed a lot, and this time is also a little faster. Guan Biyue is old in the end, after watching the fireworks for a long time, she feels a little tired, and she has the heart to go around again, but she is a little stumbling under her feet, Ding Siyi hugged her and said: "If you are tired, let's go back, fortunately, the future is long, I am idle at home now, and I always have time to accompany you." ”
Guan Biyue sighed: "There will always be an end to this firework, no matter how beautiful it is, it will eventually disperse." ”
Ding Si smiled: "It's okay, it's not this year, and there will be next year, and there will be fireworks every year." ”
The two hugged each other and walked slowly on the street, at this time the fireworks bloomed one by one, reflecting the earth as if it was day, and the crowd let out bursts of exclamations from time to time, which was really a peaceful event and a celebration of the whole country. Ding Si and Guan Biyue were not in a hurry, slowly walking through the crowd, chatting without a word, and suddenly they felt like a dream in life and a white cloud and a dog.
Guan Biyue watched the fireworks with Ding Si today, and she was still very happy in her heart, although the fireworks were watched every year, but this year, with Ding Si by her side, she felt that the fireworks were extraordinarily good, and she had indescribable joy in her heart. She was chatting up, and suddenly felt that Ding Si beside her was a little absent-minded, she hurriedly turned her head sideways, and saw that Ding Si's eyes were firmly focused on one place, obviously the spirit was concentrated there, she followed Ding Si's eyes, and saw several people shrunk into a ball, walking slowly in the dark shadow of the backlight. Guan Biyue was wondering what those people were looking at, when she heard Ding Si say softly: "Abi, those people are so strange. ”
