The Tang Dynasty implemented a curfew, all year round, there are not a few times when it is open, the situation of having fun with the people is even less, and only in the Spring Festival Yuan a few days, and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival three days, there is this kind of lively opportunity, so after nightfall, Chang'an City is naturally brilliantly lit, the music is melodious, the visitors are like weaving, the flowers are splendid, and it is extremely lively.

On each street, the color building faces each other, the Zhumen embroiders the household, the painting is carved and the beams are carved, the color lamps are hung high, the hexagonal palace lamp, the tower lamp, the various colored lanterns of the festive and auspicious, the lanterns of the birds and beasts, the auspicious and interesting horse lanterns, and the pavilions and pavilions of the scenery lamps, there are everything, the shapes are different, the various are varied, and the beauty is magnificent.

Different from usual, this year's Lantern Festival, there is another novelty activity, that is, fireworks, when the night falls, I see thousands of fires rushing into the sky, and then falling from the sky, like a meteor shower, like a fire tree and silver flowers, brilliant and bright, attracting the attention of all people, stretching out their necks to watch.

The most loud and lively movement, naturally in front of the Imperial City Vermilion Bird Gate, a few miles of land, the torch, the light candle world, the lights are bright, the reflection is like day, the music of the Taichang Temple Teaching Workshop Division is all dispatched, the sound of silk and bamboo singing and dancing, conveying more than dozens of miles, echoing in the Chang'an City, melodious and drifting away.

In this rare few days, up to the princes and nobles, down to the peddlers and pawns, all go out to enjoy the lights, light car canopy, the crowd is surging, so that the traffic and horses in Chang'an City are jammed, blocking the difficult to walk, Han Rui and others, the mighty and loud search for the sound to go, but unfortunately the way is crowded, almost blocked, finally get out, the avenue can not go, have to turn around the corner, in the alley roundabout.

In the alleys, there is also a special interest, occasionally you can also see, the lanterns that make people's eyes shine, but naturally not as good as the bustling scene in front of Suzaku Street, a pole of lanterns, like a group of flying fireflies, the singing and dancing under the lamp, a hundred operas are even more dizzying, men and women are crowded, people are crowded, it is very spectacular.

"There are a lot of people here." Liuying was amazed and said in distress: "Lang Jun, what should I do?" ”

The flow of people on the street is like a tide, wave after wave, and there is no moment of stopping, squeezing in, it must be like a drop of water falling in the sea, drowning in it, and there is no trace of it.

Holding Zheng Naoyuo's slender hand, Han Rui smiled bitterly: "What else can I do, you are close behind us, don't patronize and watch the excitement, I can't find you if I get separated, and the others will surround and open the way......"

Under an order, seven or eight servants held the spirit of sacrificing their lives for righteousness, squeezed into the flow of people with difficulty, opened up a small space for Han Rui and others, and moved forward bravely.

Looking around, excited and excited faces, Han Rui and others were also infected, cheering loudly, until the break of the Fish and Dragon Dance Team, they swallowed a dry throat, followed the flow of people, continued to move forward, gradually, lost in the brilliant night, did not know the direction, and did not have the mood to pay attention to where they were, just need to know, with many people, joy, cheer, applaud.

Shangyuan Lantern Festival, in addition to Kabuki music, exquisite lanterns, splendid fireworks, the most attractive to everyone, is naturally a variety of or easy to understand, or strange lantern riddles, rumored to be the Three Kingdoms period, there is no investigation of the source, in recent years, in the Central Plains, quite popular, the riddle hanging on the gauze lantern, for people to guess, if it is hit, there is naturally a gift of color.

Naturally, can afford this kind of activities, most of them are rich and noble families, not bad for those few gifts, the picture is lively and interesting, such a small game of more wisdom, it will attract the interest of young girls, especially the Shenggong Shizi who went to Beijing to take the examination, studied hard for a long time, and also understood the principle of combining work and rest, taking advantage of the imminent approach of the imperial examination, but also came out to indulge, besides, this is also a good opportunity to make a name for himself, and he cannot miss it.

For Han Rui, this kind of game, there is really no slightest challenge surname, all the way, met several people who hold lantern riddles, if it weren't for Han Rui's attention to moderation and mercy, I'm afraid they could turn off the lights and close the door, despite this, the hands of the flowing fireflies and the painting screen are full of some exquisite small objects, although they are not willing to give up a few dollars, but they are very excited, the red fluttering little face is smiling, beautiful and gorgeous.

However, they were not satisfied, and after Han Rui and Zheng Nao made an appointment, they stretched out their tender white hands from time to time, pointing and pointing.

"Lang Jun, that palace lamp is very beautiful......"

"That hydrangea is so beautiful."

"Little pendant, little pendant."

Han Rui smiled, he didn't have to go out by himself, he glanced at it, he could know the answer, and then instructed the servant to go and receive the prize, so he walked, and after a while, the accompanying servant also carried a beautifully shaped lamp, which was very eye-catching and amazing, which greatly satisfied everyone's vanity, and also lost the interest in guessing the lantern riddle, so he changed his way and continued to watch the excitement.

Emotions are always easy to contagious, everyone's interest is high, tired to stop and watch the song and dance performances, thirsty and hungry, there are temporary food stalls in the streets and alleys, there are also hawkers selling along the line, noodle soup, floating round, pancakes, etc., snacks with color, flavor and shape, unique flavor of Western Regions Hu food, all are not lacking, business is booming, this situation and this scene, the hawkers hate to celebrate the festival every day.

Unconsciously, Han Rui and the others returned to the Suzaku Gate, the excitement here is still the same, but the pedestrians are scattered, not as congested as before, just in time, more than a dozen Hu people wearing Hu robes, deep eyes and high noses, lined up and walked over, full of exotic music sounded, immediately attracted everyone onlookers.

Accompanied by a brisk rhythm, more than a dozen Hu people raised their sleeves and danced, stepping neatly and making a few strange movements, and then they spun up, over and over again...... The Hu people who performed were not good, but the onlookers were dazzled and a little dizzy, and they were reluctant to give up watching and fell into a tangle.

"Lang Jun, why haven't they fallen yet?"

There was a delicate voice in his ears, Han Rui couldn't help laughing, and whispered: "It's almost over, it is estimated that when it ends, they will fall to the ground." ”

Between the words, more than a dozen Hu people's footsteps stopped, a bowing and belly tucking action, the music stopped, the performance ended, and naturally won a round of applause, Liuying snorted his small mouth, and said angrily: "Lang Jun is lying again." ”

Han Rui smiled and was about to explain, but he heard a heroic laugh next to him: "I knew that Han Gongzi had this order, so I let them act like this." ”

The voice was familiar, Han Rui turned around, but it was a bearded businessman Wusal who he hadn't seen before, his two beards were slightly upturned, his smile was cute, and he was skillful, and his movements were not the slightest jerky.

"Brother Usar, it's been a long time." Han Rui said hello lightly.

"yes." Ursar smiled brightly and explained: "During this time, I was busy looking for a suitable house to settle down in Chang'an City, and I finally found it, and I moved later, hoping that Han Gongzi would be able to appreciate his face." ”

It's difficult to find a house, Han Rui couldn't help but feel a little resonance in his heart, nodded and said, "If it's okay, go naturally." ”

Wusar was overjoyed, politely saluted, saluted Zheng Nao with a few people, and also retired, surrounded by more than a dozen Hu people, slowly disappeared into the flow of people.

Liuying was puzzled: "Lang Jun, those Hu people are not the tricks of the Teaching Workshop Division, why did they all go with him?" ”

"That's someone else's business, let's just watch the excitement, don't worry about it." Han Rui smiled, Liuying stuck out her little tongue, and didn't ask again.

However, Zheng Naoyue said softly: "Husband, that person is trying to please in every way, it seems that there is something to ask you for help." ”

"Well, it should be so, but whether to help or not, we still need to consider." Han Rui said, speaking of which, the idea of suggesting that Li Chengqian present the Kyushu Siyi map at Li Shimin's birthday banquet was inspired by the map sent by Ursal in the brocade box, but one yard is one yard, and the two cannot be confused, after all, it is not a favor, and it must be returned.

Zheng Naoyu nodded, and didn't say much, her beautiful eyes glanced lightly, and she was suddenly stunned, and subconsciously, she reached out to wrap her arms around Han Rui, and her body was closer.

"What's wrong?" Han Rui asked in a low voice, looking around, only to see that under a palace lamp, a beautiful woman stood with her head upright, her eyes were as clear as autumn water, her robe was elegant, her cut was well-fitted, she looked tall and slender, with beautiful curves, and where the candlelight was swaying, she reflected a beautiful jade face that was extraordinarily beautiful.

Next to it is a girl with a bun, born with skin better than snow, innocent and lovely, hair dense and shiny, hairpin like azure and point blue, like quicksilver and inlaid beads, a moon-white silk bead embroidered gold line skirt, bundled with a white jade inlaid emerald ribbon, around the five-color peony pattern, luxurious and indescribable.

"Chief Xiyin, and Sister Pianjiao." Zheng Naoyue smiled softly: "Husband, do you want to go over and say hello?" ”

Glancing over, Han Rui added: "There are also Gong Li and Mrs. Zhang, since they have met, how can they not come forward to greet them." ”

Also, Zheng Naoyue nodded slightly, walked hand in hand with Han Rui, and saw them approaching, under the reminder of the servant, Li Jing looked back, with a happy smile on his face, greeted him, and blamed: "Boy, it's been more than two months, and I haven't seen my house play chess, don't you think I usually don't greet me well, and I have resentment in my heart." ”

"How dare you, how dare you." Han Rui hurriedly acknowledged the crime.

Li Jing was in front of him, Zheng Naoyue was embarrassed to continue to hug Han Rui, lightly handed, stepped forward to salute Zhang, his wonderful eyes moved slightly, and he smiled lightly at Li Xiyin, and then grabbed the innocent and lovely Li Pianji, and greeted him gently.

"It's cold in the mountains, it's not fun, and I'm back." Li Pian's voice was crisp and moist, with a bit of innocence, and asked curiously: "Sister Zheng, I heard that you are married to Han Gongzi and are going to have children?" ”

Zheng Naoyu's face was blushing, a little flustered, and he didn't know how to respond.

cough, Han Rui pretended not to hear, and said with a smile: "Li Gong called, if he is in Ping, the kid will definitely be happy, but unfortunately there have been a lot of mundane things recently, and thanks to His Majesty's kindness, he served in the secretary province, and he was even more idle, so please be more considerate of Li Gong." ”
