This lighthouse and lantern tree are lantern riddles and poetry activities that have been prepared as early as a month ago.

At the beginning, Li Yuanba and the young handsome man with the five surnames and seven hopes, the gambling and disputes between the gentleman and the six arts also started from this!

The three giant buildings were covered with half-human-sized lanterns, and the walls of those lanterns were filled with riddles, verses, and newly popular pairs.

Don't even think about it, those vernacular riddles are definitely spoofed by Li Yuanba, and now in the Tang Dynasty, vernacular is not so popular.

In order to make this Shangyuan Festival more interesting, Li Yuanba said to Li Shimin, as long as he can answer the riddles on the lantern, the pair on the lantern, and the poems on the lantern, there will be a variety of small gifts.

Therefore, Li Shimin also felt very curious about this activity, so he agreed to this construction.

This is also why there are so many people gathered under the lighthouse, who are all guessing lantern riddles, pairs, and poems.

……

"Fourth Emperor Uncle, let's go over and have a look!"

Without Princess Gaoyang, the most lively child would be Princess Qinghe.

Seeing that there were so many people surrounded by the lamp tree and the lighthouse, Princess Qinghe suddenly became excited, and her little face was full of curiosity.

With the lead, needless to say, the other little guys are naturally noisy and noisy, and one by one they stared at the boss with watery eyes, and the pitiful begging for mercy made Li Yuanba's heart furious.

"Alright, alright...... Don't pretend to be pitiful with your uncle one by one, sue you, this set is not good for uncle! ”

Li Yuanba, a vicious guy, can really say it, and his expression towards the children. It's simply turning a blind eye.

But you have a good plan, and I have a wall ladder. Since the plan to pretend to be pitiful and sell cuteness has failed, you can only take the pillow wind route.

Princess Qinghe immediately shifted the focus of her attack to Wu Shun. In a voice that was almost sad, he said:

"Fourth aunt, look at the fourth uncle. We just wanted to go over and see a lantern, and he pushed back! If you wait until you have your own children, you won't have to take care of it every day, and you won't be allowed to do this or that! I see, you should not have children in the future, how boring and bitter these days are! ”

Your sister, this is really your own niece!

Li Yuanba almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

As the saying goes. A year old looks old. When I first met Princess Qinghe, she looked quite quiet and well-behaved, but after getting along for a long time, I realized that what kind of sister there is has is what kind of sister, and that temperament is simply printed in the same mold as Princess Gaoyang.

Hearing Princess Qinghe's words, coupled with the fact that those little guys fanned the flames, Wu Shun was silent for a long time, and finally looked at Li Yuanba with an extremely resentful gaze, and did not speak. Just stared straight at him.

Li Yuanba was extremely depressed, and he had no choice but to say angrily: "Sue you." Not an example! If you dare to do something like this next time, I will definitely list you all as the least popular people in the Martial Prince's Mansion! Don't forget, this Martial King's Mansion is my home! ”

Li Yuanba let go of his cruel words, it seems that the deterrent power of the first two times is not enough at all, and seeing Princess He's posture, he completely understands his character.

If you want to be anti-customer-oriented, it's impossible!

Who is the uncle, that is the new emperor uncle of the Tang Dynasty. Nothing can stump Uncle.

Li Yuanba's words did not have a bit of deterrent effect on Princess Qinghe. This may be because they know that this Fourth Emperor Uncle has repeatedly flaunted his power status. But all day underground, the best person for them.

So they can distinguish between priorities and priorities, sometimes they can make trouble, and sometimes they have to be obedient.

……

said that he didn't want to take Qinghe and the others to see the lanterns, but in fact, Li Yuanba's curiosity was no less than those children.

This is the first time he has participated in the traditional Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival in the Tang Dynasty, and if he doesn't feel the atmosphere, he is really sorry for himself!

After taking a few steps forward, a sea of people stood in front of them.

But fortunately, there was a group of royal soldiers in civilian clothes, with their strong physique and extraordinarily powerful arms, in the sea of people, they fought a bloody way, straight to the lamp tree and the lighthouse.

A group of passers-by who were squeezing forward in a lifeless manner, but they were directly pushed aside for some reason, and the passers-by who were drowned in the crowd of people, until the big hands of others pulled them behind them, they suddenly woke up.

But at this moment, they have been squeezed out of the crowd.

A group of passers-by looked at each other and wanted to cry without tears.

squeezed to the front of the crowd, Li Yuanba then knew why these people were desperately squeezing forward.

It turned out that it was not just to see those lanterns, but also to increase the fun of guessing lantern riddles in the Shangyuan Festival, under the giant lighthouse and the lantern tree, there were also several high platforms, and on the high platform, a lot of juggling was invited to perform, attracting countless people to watch.

Those who can't guess the riddles, can't get the right pairs, and can't pick up the poems, so they pay attention to these high platforms, see the highlights, and burst into bursts of applause from time to time.

"Wow, look over there, that guy breathes fire, is he a fire man?"

"That porcelain urn won't fall off his head, will it?"

"The ladder is so high that day......"

A few children, as if they had come to the overpass of the old capital in later generations, watched the performances that were obviously full of rivers and lakes, but thrilling enough, and danced excitedly.

A group of onlookers also burst into cheers, and it can be seen that they like this atmosphere very much.

"Rank, please be quiet! Today is the Shangyuan Festival, above these two lantern trees, on the lantern wall of the lantern of a lantern tree, the ground is written as a lantern riddle; On the wall of the lantern on another lamp tree, poems are written; As for the lantern wall above the lighthouse in the middle, there are couplets written on it! ”

Before Li Yuanba could watch the performances on those stages carefully, he heard a voice that seemed to be amplified countless times roar.

Li Yuanba followed the prestige, but found that on the edge of the high platform directly opposite those high platforms, there was also something similar to a watchtower, a thin young man wearing a brocade robe stood on the high platform, and in front of him, there was a super-large metal horn that Li Yuanba invented.

Fang Cai's voice also came from this metal horn.

"Earlier, in the decree of the saints, it was said that anyone who can guess the riddles on the lighthouse and the lantern tree, make couplets, and connect poems will receive a reward! Fangcai, the new will of our street! The previous reward conditions remain the same, but now a new reward condition has been added: as long as you can match a couplet on a lantern at the same time, connect a poem on a lantern, and guess a lantern riddle! You can get 500 yuan! ”

Wow!

One stone stirs up a thousand waves!

The people who came here to participate in the Lantern Festival were all ordinary people, those who were rich and wealthy, although they knew that the Lantern Festival was chosen in the West Market, but the self-esteem of the rich and noble people did not allow them to lower their status and come to the West Market.

In fact, to put it bluntly, if you go up for a few generations, no one is from a clay leg, so no one dislikes anyone.

For the common people, the reward of 500 guan is not a small amount, even if they eat meat every month, it is enough for a family of five to eat for several years.

Yes, the young man on the high platform spoke in a square voice, and the crowd began to surge in the direction of the middle, what breathing fire, swiping sledgehammers, where is the charm of money great?

Regardless of whether you can understand or not, it is the last word to stand shoulder to shoulder.

But the previous ambitions, when they really faced these strange riddles, poems and pairs, were ruthlessly broken and full of frustration.

Under the lantern riddle and lantern tree, there were no less than a thousand people gathered, and they looked up at the lantern directly above them, and their faces were strange, because the riddles written on the lantern wall were really varied, and some of them could even be called insulting.

"The roof leak happened to rain overnight...... Hit a colloquialism! ”

"It's like heaven and earth...... Hit a two-word phrase! ”

In order to be able to clearly express the characters, the craftsmen who made the lanterns deliberately made a special treatment of the characters, so that they occupied almost half of the lantern wall, and the people could see them as soon as they raised their heads.

"What is this?" Li Su stared at the lantern above his head for a long time with some complaints, his face full of hatred.

"Stinky boy, if you can't guess, just say it, don't make another excuse!" Li Yuanba unceremoniously rewarded Li Su with a slap of chestnuts and said: "Ke'er, Lizhen, you two come and see, what is this 'house leak happened to rain overnight'?" ”

Among this group of bear children, only Li Ke and the eldest princess Li Lizhi, that is, Princess Changle was frowning and thinking hard.

Speaking of which, this Li Lizhen is Li Shimin's eldest daughter, because she was born to the eldest grandson queen, she was particularly loved by Li Shimin, and in the second year of Zhenguan (628), she was enshrined as the princess of Changle County.

Originally, according to historical records, Princess Changle and in 633, that is, in the year just past, she was going to marry Sun Chong, the son of Sun Wuji, the prince of Qi State, who was the eldest son of Zongzheng Shaoqing, that is, his cousin.

At that time, although cousins and sisters were close relatives, there were not so many scientific theories, and it seemed that it was nothing to marry cousins.

It's just that I don't know if it's because of Li Yuanba, Princess Changle didn't marry in 633, which made Li Yuanba also depressed for a long time after he knew, and even thought that history had changed before he appeared.

But the next qiē seems to have not changed, and history is still that history.

This is also the reason why Li Yuanba was not surprised when he saw Du Ruhui, a person who had been an ancient man in Zhenguan for four years, appeared in front of him alive. (To be continued)
