At the end of the year, the merchant ships coming and going, shuttling through the Bianhe River, and the streets and alleys, are all about the reverie and discussion of the New Year and the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the atmosphere of this national heated discussion of the Lantern Festival, Fang Zhongyong felt more truly and more appropriately that the people of Bianjing regard the Lantern Festival as a kind of national carnival.

It can be said that the people of Bianjing, even, do not divide their life stages by age, but by the memories of visiting the lamp market.

In her twilight years, the old white-haired mother-in-law can trace back to her innocent girlhood from sixty years ago, the light market, and her most important social relationship in her life.

Back then, walking together among the colorful lights and candles, guessing riddles, and the friends who occupied the fame of flowers, some of them were already overgrown with weeds, and some were full of children and grandchildren......

The passing life is like a string of cotton threads of memory, and the Festival of Lights is a shining bead that falls on the cotton thread.

Each one is a story of a year, a year old, crowded streets, fallen embroidered shoes, enlarged stores, or disappeared in the torrent of competition......

Whether it's the first time, and the lover, put on a newly made carved silk jacket, make a noise and light a sky lantern, and place a beautiful yearning; For the first time, with children, holding countless things, crowded through the lively streets and alleys, to beg for a drink, the royal family put out the "Golden Ou Wine" at the end gate of the imperial city...... They are all Bianjing people, and they are the most talked about beautiful things.

The tradition of putting lanterns on the Lantern Festival was first published in the first month of the fifth year of the Song Dynasty Taizu and Qiande, and the official edict appeared for the first time:

"Shangyuan Zhang Lantern used to stop for three nights, and now the court has nothing to do, the grains are abundant, and it is appropriate to indulge the citizens to have fun. Ordered Kaifeng Mansion to put 17 and 18 night lights, and then took it as an example. ”

With the economic prosperity of the Northern Song Dynasty, the people who got rich became more and more addicted to the carnival, this kind of entertainment enjoyment, and at this time, during the Jingyou period, the Lantern Festival lantern festival has been officially extended to five days, starting from the thirteenth day of the first month.

However, the atmosphere of the Lantern Festival program began to brew earlier.

Just after the winter solstice, on the royal street of Xuande Gate in Bianjing, Kaifeng Mansion has already been built with bamboo and wood, and the shed building used to put the lamp is decorated with flowers, colored flags, brocade silk, cloth paintings, called "mountain shed".

Thousands of miles to build a long shed, Bianjing people are eager for this rich and prosperous, eternal banquet and carnival.

At the end of the year, in the two corridors of Bianjing Royal Street, there are all kinds of artists performing programs every day, from magic, acrobatics, rap, burlesque, to singing and dancing, acrobatics, magic, lantern riddles, "kit kat hundred, new ears and eyes every day",

Every day is a scene of the Spring Festival Gala repertoire, accompanied by all kinds of eating and drinking, stimulating Bianjing's economy and climbing rapidly.

Fang Zhongyong's "Victoria's Secret Angel" drama is also being rehearsed intensively under Chai Lin's strict selection of models and Jian Jiao's demonstration and training.

Looking at the models with graceful figures in front of him, dressed like all kinds of heroes in lol, all kinds of beauties in fairy swords, twisting slender waists, and going back and forth in front of him, Fang Zhongyong felt that he was like the "Lafayette" of the fashion circle of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the past, when I watched the list of the most popular programs and the list of the most popular programs included in "Tokyo Menghualu", I was always full of infinite imagination of that era, and now, I am about to create a new hot spot in the era of Bianjing's eyeballs, how can I not be happy?

Fang Zhongyong, turning excitement into motivation, grasped every minute on the eve of the Lantern Festival, and carried out his unique arrangement of the "Victoria's Secret Angel" show. For this arrangement, early this morning, he went to Kaifeng Mansion alone to find Fan Zhongyan and bargain.

Fan Zhongyan's beard, which has just been washed in the New Year, looks thick and clean, and everyone is rhythmic when they are brushed up. After listening to Fang Zhongyong's request, he squinted at Fang Zhongyong:

"Sounds like a novelty, 'fountain'? Do you want to make the Royal Street Mountain Shed set up this set? And say that this set can prevent the water from walking during the festival? You give it to the old man, and say it carefully. ”

Fang Zhongyong said yes again and again, saluted, and strode to Fan Zhongyan's table: "Borrow the adult's pen and ink." ”

didn't wait for Fan Zhongyan to politely say "please".

Fang Zhongyong already looked like he didn't think of himself as an outsider, so he dipped in ink and drew a shape on paper.

Although he is not a professional calligrapher and painter, he has an excellent foundation in calligraphy and painting, and he is very clear.

When Fan Zhongyan took it to see, on the left and right of the mountain shed of the royal street, there were two Manjushri Bodhisattvas formed of colorful knots, and Puxian Bodhisattva, straddling lions and white elephants, from the fingers of the Bodhisattva, five streams of water flowed, and then there was a mechanism, which was the water of artificial circulation, and the water flow was sprayed and circulated, forming a scene background.

Next to it is Fang Zhongyong's dragon flying phoenix dancing with two big cursive characters: fountain.

Seeing Fan Zhongyan's excitement, Fang Zhongyong continued to explain:

"When the time comes, from the mountain shed to the big square of the Xuande Gate of the Imperial City, it will form a large circle with thorns, which is more than 100 zhang long, and is called 'Jing Basin'.

Inside the Jing Basin, the performance on the stage, outside the Jing Basin, the public watching, the Jing Basin District, the Janissaries and the fire battalion, dressed gorgeously on guard, one to maintain order, to avoid water, and the other is also for ornamentation. Wouldn't it be two-poop? ”

Fan Zhongyan took a look, thought about it again, and suddenly turned his face and smiled:

"This time, if the old man helps you to do this, you are ready to send your "Victoria's Secret underwear" to the old man's house?

Last time, you said thank you to the old man, how did the old man think he was grateful? Who knew that you would be, the books printed by your Yue Shuzhai edition pulled more than 30 carts for the old man, and the old man became a part-time book seller for you, you stinky boy. ”

Fang Zhongyong felt that subtly, this Fan Fuzi, who blindly drilled the horns of the bull in his previous life, sang about the country and the people, and talked about the prosperity of the times, now has a much more optimistic, cheerful, and positive mental outlook.

Thinking of this, Fang Zhongyong was extremely relieved, thinking that it was the effect of his little butterfly.

However, in fact, Fang Zhongyong is still too optimistic. A master who has been shouting for decades, worrying about the country and the people, will never give up and do something as long as he is free.

No, the New Year's War is going on again.

Last time, Fan Zhongyan was rejected for "Hundred Official Pictures", and he was also criticized, which is a prevarication, wasting too much time and energy in other businesses that are not his own work, and fighting for a good reputation.

So, this time, Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu once again wrote four letters in a row to refute this evaluation.

The first letter is about the king's goodness.

The second letter is on the selection of talents.

The third letter is on the near name.

The fourth letter is prevarication.

The four letters, written in the pen of the two literary leaders, are written heroically and sassy, and can almost be summed up as the four basic principles of "pro-virtuous and far-reaching".

Zhao Zhen's New Year's Eve is also troublesome.

Two days ago, I slept well at night, the bedroom caught fire, and Zhang Meiren, who was not supposed to sleep, broke into the fire alone and spent it with Zhao Zhen, and the crisis was half an hour.

After that, Zhao Zhen was greatly moved, and he planned to crown Zhang Meimei as a concubine, but who knew that there would be another moth-

The officials and ministers of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Governor's Yuan have written to say that the emperor's dormitory is a loss of the emperor's virtue, and the emperor, please reflect on yourself first.

Zhao Zhen's heart couldn't help but be overgrown with grass:

Nani? If you don't review it, how do you arrange security, and serve the official's family, but let the official's bedroom catch fire, and you want the official's family to self-reflect? Am I the Emperor or are you the Emperor? It's just that Your Excellency has risen from the wind and soared to 90,000 miles. In short,.
