Chapter 21 Asking for Signatures (Third Update, Asking for Votes)
The Shangyuan Festival was the most lively festival of the year in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the only festival with a large-scale carnival for the people.
Whenever this day, the three nights in Chang'an City can not help but help it, the imperial city is wide open, and the people travel casually.
On the occasion of the celebration of the whole world, the people of Chang'an are certainly out of the family.
Shangyuan lantern appreciation is the old custom, every Shangyuan night, except for all the lanterns in the palace and Zhaofu, when millions of people in Chang'an go out to watch the lanterns, everyone in the big family holds a lamp, even if the poor and small households are not exempt from one. Chang'an has a population of one million, and almost a million lanterns bloomed overnight, making the imperial city brilliant and like a city of fire.
When Du He and Princess Changle left the palace, the sky had not yet darkened, but there were already naughty children who lit all kinds of lanterns that had been prepared, cheered and jumped in the streets and alleys, and occasionally there were children with pouting buttocks quietly lit a firecracker, decorating the atmosphere of the festival at the same time, attracting the screams of the little friends around them, making the market more innocent and noisy.
Princess Changle rarely goes out of the palace to play, and occasionally goes out of the palace to sit in a carriage, and has never had the experience of walking the streets. Therefore, he was extremely curious about everything, looking left and right, and before the night began, he was already smiling.
As soon as the sky falls dark, the people who have been waiting for a long time come out with their families, and light the first lantern in the palace, but the kung fu of half a pillar of incense, the whole city is already full of lanterns, illuminate the sky at the same time, but also make Chang'an bright as day, fall into the sea of fire, Daodaofang Street crowds surge, it can be said that the air is like clouds, sweating like rain.
Where did Princess Changle think that the real Shangyuan Festival would be so lively, and she was speechless in surprise.
Du He said with a smile: "This Shangyuan Festival royal has a royal law, and the people also have the people's law!" The royal family pays attention to the pomp and luxury, while the people pay attention to only one point...... That's the excitement! Compared to the royal Shangyuan Festival, I like the people more. ”
Since Princess Changle left the palace and walked on the street, the smile on her face has never broken, and when she heard Du He's words, she also nodded her head in agreement: "Me is the same, although this is my first time participating, but this lively scene has a more festive atmosphere." I never thought that the people were so festive, and they were really envious. ”
It's so lively, there are as many as 10,000 people on the street, and one sentence per person can converge into a high-decibel noise.
Therefore, when they spoke to each other, they were so close that their cheeks were almost together.
"Don't be envious, there are two of them, next time I'm dating you." Du He also knows that as a princess, Changle Golden Branches and Jade Leaves, may enjoy the glory and wealth that others can't enjoy in their lifetime, but they have also lost a lot of fun that ordinary people have.
Princess Changle's eyes were full of yearning because of these words, and she said softly: "I like ...... I'm waiting! ”
"What?" The street was so lively that even Du He's ears couldn't hear what Princess Changle was saying.
Princess Changle didn't repeat, but asked loudly, "Where are you going?" ”
"Temple fair! It's the liveliest place there! Du He replied loudly!
The temple fair is always the most lively, and the temple fair of the Shangyuan Festival is even more so.
Some people are selling things, some people are setting up stalls, and some people are selling art. All kinds of snack stalls, all kinds of small snacks, and even more. The common people of Chang'an probably went out of the whole city, in the temple, the incense was flourishing, and outside the temple, crowds of people came.
All sorts of people are crowded around.
Princess Changle has never encountered this situation, and it is even more embarrassing!
Du He protected Princess Changle in front of him with one hand, blocking the crowd for her.
Princess Changle was almost in close contact with Du He, and her heart was like a deer, but she did not struggle.
"There are too many people, do you want to go somewhere else?" Du He couldn't imagine that there were so many people attending the temple fair during the Shangyuan Festival, and he regretted it a little.
"No, I want to ask for a sign!" Princess Changle saw that many pilgrims came out with a signature in their hands, and looking at their facial expressions, she was really happy and sad, and she couldn't help but be moved.
"Good!" Du He has never been superstitious, but he also sacrificed his life to accompany the beauty, and squeezed into the crowd with Changle.
Many people gathered outside the temple, but there were not many people in the temple.
The two entered the temple and each breathed a sigh of relief.
Before he entered the main hall, he heard someone shouting happily: "Sign up!" It seems that my eldest grandson Langjun and I are indeed a match made in heaven! ”
This is......
Du He and Princess Changle glanced at each other, and they both heard Cheng Feicui's voice.
Don't?
Could it be?
Thinking like this, Cheng Feicui and the eldest grandson rushed out of the main hall, and behind them were naturally escorted by several King Kong of the Cheng family. There are only three, the eldest, the second, and the third, but no matter which one of them is something that Changsun Chong can deal with.
When they met each other, the eldest grandson Chong could no longer see any jealousy in his eyes, only deep sadness and resignation for his future life.
Alas!
Comrade the eldest grandson of the cup!
It seems that his future life is not only a cup, but also a cup.
Princess Changle reverently knelt in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, whispered something, and then picked up the bamboo tube full of signs, and the sound of shaking the sign kept coming out of it.
Du He didn't bow down, and he shook the bamboo tube when he was bored.
"Snap" two bamboo sticks and drop to the ground at the same time.
The two of them came to the unsigning.
An old monk with a dignified dignity sat there solemnly.
He took the sign handed over by Princess Changle, and asked quite sophisticatedly: "Twenty-six hexagrams, what is the donor asking for?" ”
Princess Changle blushed a little, hesitated for a while, and then said, "Marriage!" ”
"Flutter!" As soon as she said this, Du He couldn't help laughing out loud, and his eyes widened: "Looking for an old monk to solve the marriage sign, the ancients are really unreasonable!" ”
Princess Changle glanced at him with some anger, and looked at the old monk expectantly.
The old monk said with a matter: "The sound of the qin and drums rhyme with each other, and Chang'e is matched with a handsome husband in the month; Not only are the green mandarin ducks all phoenixes, but also the lintoe is auspicious! Congratulations to the donor, this sign is also auspicious! The first two sentences are accompanied by the piano, which means that husbands and women are like fairies in the heavenly palace, and men are like Pan An reincarnated, and their surnames are similar to each other's surnames, and they appreciate each other and have deep feelings. The last two sentences of Luan Feng and Ming, the mandarin duck companion, means that life is happy, and there will be a linzi born. ”
Princess Changle was ashamed and happy, and she was very happy.
Du He also handed his signature to the old monk.
The old monk said: "What the eighth hexagram donor is asking for is also marriage? ”
"Career!" Du He didn't want to pin his lifelong happiness on a monk who would always be a virgin.
"Spring flowers reflect on the balcony, and thousands of miles of cars come to enter the treasure; If you get the third-level wave of Yumen, it is just like a thunder on the ground. It is also a sign of good luck, this sign is from the heart, everything is auspicious, and the donor will have a prosperous journey this year. The old monk said unhurriedly.
"Great! It's all on the top! Princess Changle was really a little superstitious, and she seemed to have taken it seriously, and laughed happily.
Du He doubted on the side whether all the people who found the old monk to unsign were all good luck.
