Dugu Xinci began to make a loveless look, and when she heard that the beauty had an appointment, she immediately looked radiant, and the change made the Dugu Empress Dowager feel very interesting.

The Queen Mother and Dugu Jialuo took turns to torture their impression of the girl of the Nalan family, how did they make an appointment to watch the Lantern Festival together?

Poor Dugu Xinci has only seen him once, but he just feels that he is eye-to-eye, and he really doesn't have a deep understanding of it.

Fortunately, Dugu was kind and anxious, and he satisfied the gossip of the old man and the young man, and finally let him go.

Dugu Xinci wiped a cold sweat when he left the Taiji Palace, it was really rare to be able to sweat in the cold weather on the fourteenth day of the first month.

The whole Chang'an City has now entered the Shangyuan Festival period, the street is full of cars and lanterns, there are bamboo and wood, silk silk, bright balls, jade pendants, silk spikes, feathers, shells and other materials, through color tie, paste, braiding, embroidery, carving, and then decorating colorful paintings and books, looking at it is lively.

There are also a lot of lantern sellers, and the juggling gong and drum team has also started to tour, and it is very lively with many naughty children.

Dugu Xinci also watched interestingly, the big bear and a dog were even more smiling, the three of them had nothing to do, walked slowly, and when they saw Xuanyangfang, they remembered that there was an apprentice in Wannian County, so they turned around and came to the county party.

The entrance of the county party was also lit up, and Du Juan led a group of people to hang lanterns all over the eaves.

Dugu Xinci also found that each lantern has the honor of paying taxes, one person pays taxes and the whole family is glorious, and paying taxes is for the benefit of the country and the people.

When Du Juan saw that his Ming Mansion was coming, he ignored it and continued to check the order of the lanterns, and the three of Quan Yiquan and Fanbang were also commenting on the words on the lanterns.

"Is there a riddle lantern?" Dugu Xinci asked.

Du Juan County Cheng pointed to a few lanterns, too lazy to speak, today's Ming Mansion was taken care of in the morning, but it was still difficult to find people throughout the afternoon.

"Is there a reward for guessing?" Dugu asked again.

"No" Du Juan said weakly, this was his mistake, and he forgot this detail.

"No?" Dugu Xinci thinks about "cook a few pots of balls tomorrow, and eat the balls if you guess"

"Eat balls?" Everyone was amazed, and the folk sayings about the balls were different. It is said that at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, King Chu Zhao passed through the Yangtze River on the way back from the restoration of the country, and saw something floating on the surface of the river, the color was white and slightly yellow, and there was a red rouge like rouge in it, and the taste was sweet. The crowd didn't know what this was, so King Zhao sent someone to ask Confucius. Confucius said: "This duckweed fruit is also a sign of the revival of the Lord who obtains it." Because this day is the fifteenth day of the first month, every day in the future, King Zhao ordered his subordinates to imitate this fruit with noodles, and use hawthorn to make a red filling and cook it. There is also a saying that the Lantern Festival was originally called Tangyuan, and when it came to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there was a palace maid in the palace called Lantern Festival, who was very good at making Tangyuan, and since then, the world has named it after this palace maid. These two legends are not recorded in historical records and cannot be believed.

"Eat balls, the whole family will be reunited, harmonious and happy," Dugu sighed, "I don't know if it's so auspicious?" ”

"And who's going to do it?" Du Xuan County Cheng sneered.

"No one can do such a simple meal?" Dugu Xinci was amazed.

"There is only one idler in the entire county party," Du Juan was not to be outdone.

"Uh" Dugu Xinci was speechless, "Ask the people in the county party, whose lady will do it?" I did it tonight and brought it tomorrow, and the county party paid for it."

Du Juan thought about this method, and said, "Then you must take the lead."

"To take the lead is to take the lead" Dugu Xinci thinks about it, such a simple meal is not easy to catch.

Wandering around, everyone in Wannian County was running to act, Dugu Xinci was very pleased, in order not to affect everyone's actions, he took his apprentices and idle people to leave, and went back to the palace of Liaoyang County.

Back at the county king's mansion, Dugu Xinci found a few bags of glutinous rice, and thought about it, so he simply asked Da Xiong to grind it into glutinous rice flour.

Then I went to the kitchen to find the filling, and happened to meet the shopkeeper of the Qinglongfang meat and vegetable shop Yu Laozhang, who sent dry goods, all kinds of walnut kernels, dried apricots, osmanthus assortment, jujube paste, nuts, hemp paste, almonds, ginkgo seeds, hawthorn, black and white sesame seeds.

"I'm tired of my father-in-law" Dugu Xinci is very polite, "That's right, can Uncle Yu make a round child?" ”

"Yuanzi? That's going to do," Yu shopkeeper has been collecting dry goods such as pepper for Dugu Xinci in the past few months, and he has made money for a few years.

"Tomorrow you can set up a stall to sell this, and Bao Ru will make money," Dugu Xinci said with a smile.

"Uh" Yu Lao Zhangxin said that he was going to see the lanterns too, what kind of money did he make on the Yuan Festival? But it is also known that this Far Eastern Hou, who was in Qinglongfang before the scientific expedition, is also thinking about himself.

Dugu Xinci took a lot of stuffing for Da Xiong and Ah Dog to continue grinding, and ordered the guards of the palace and Ke Ye Yuzhi to start kneading glutinous rice noodles.

Dugu Xinci personally fried the filling, and at first he was still sorting out the filling, sugar, sesame, hawthorn, and walnut kernels were also ground into powder, and finally simply mixed into a pile, stir-fried until fragrant, and then melted the lard and stirred with boiling water, and the filling was completed.

Dugu Xinci then kneaded the glutinous rice dough mixed with osmanthus flowers, kneaded the dough into long strips, divided into 25 grams of small agents each, and kneaded round. Take a medicine and pat it flat, knead it into a thick middle and thin on all sides, put in the black sesame filling, close it with the tiger's mouth with your hand, and then knead it round, and a rice ball is ready.

Dugu Xinci quickly made dozens of them under the collective visit of everyone, and then opened the big iron pot, put water in the pot, put the rice balls into the boiling after boiling, and constantly push the rice balls with a big spoon to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot, boil over high heat, turn to low heat, and wait for the rice balls to float up, become bigger and softer, and then fish out.

Everyone consciously waited with the dishes, and Dugu Xinci handed out the cigars one by one, and everyone tasted it, and the taste was really good.

After tasting a few of them, the shopkeeper hurriedly went back to prepare, and he was confident that he would sell this food well.

The people in the palace also began to make their own balls with great interest, oh, they were renamed Tangyuan by Dugu Xinci.

Even the king of Dugu County rolled up his sleeves and joined in, at this time, Dugu Xinci was surprised to find that Zhong Licuo, the tiger who was the third on the Junyan list, was also involved, and then he remembered that he was drunk at noon and ordered the Tang Club to be sent to the county king's mansion.

The king of Dugu County and the guards naturally knew this tiger real person who had helped the expeditionary force a lot in the Far East, and knew that he and the heir of the king of Liaoyang County were also friends, so they naturally received him.

Dugu Xinci was verbose for two sentences, and the tiger real person was drunk and just woke up and was too lazy to speak, so Dugu Xinci began to make trouble again, and made a lot of meat stuffed rice balls with diced meat or boiled meat, which was more attractive to a guard.

Dugu Xinci also recited a poem: Osmanthus fragrant stuffing wrapped in walnuts, Jiangmi is like pearl well water.

I saw that a certain house was good at dropping powder, and tried to sell Lantern Festival in the wind.

Everyone laughed, and thousands of rice balls were made.

It was dark, and Du Juan came exhausted, and more than a dozen rice balls were in his stomach, so he was a little tired, and his resentment towards his lazy boss was slightly reduced.

"In two days, I will start thinking about it behind closed doors," Dugu Xinci's words made his resentment suddenly five feet high.

Everyone looked at the triumphant unscrupulous Yuandong Hou Ming Mansion, the first county in the world, in amazement.

"A certain person has been impeached and needs to be suspended for self-defense" Dugu Xinci's face was not red and his heart was not beating.

"Thou hast been impeached? What is the crime of impeaching you? King Dugu also asked curiously.

"Who knows? I didn't read it, Li Fuyin said that there were twenty-nine letters to impeach a certain person."

Is this really big-hearted? Du Xuan County Cheng lamented.

"How can you be so happy to be impeached?" The king of Dugu County didn't bother to pay attention to the content of the impeachment, and his heir's recent actions were also in his eyes, except for the conflict with the Auxiliary General's Mansion when collecting taxes, the others were still remarkable.

"This is called the Hou Ye who is not impeached, and it is not a good county order," Dugu Xinci said nonsense.

"Nonsense" Dugu Junwang made an understatement comment.

"I'm going to apply for a transfer" Du Juan County Cheng is really unlucky, is he really such a boss? This is the first duty of a certain company, huh?

Dugu ignored it, and after a while, Wen Yuren came as scheduled, and he was also tired.

Hearing that this son was honored to receive twenty-nine impeachments, Wen Yuren was overjoyed.

"You will go to Guangyuntan in the future, and you will be found at any time."

"A certain is defending himself behind closed doors," Dugu was puzzled.

"It's just to find you to come up with ideas, hey, those methods really work" So Wen Yuren Wailang and Dugu County Wang Dujuan County Cheng began to talk about many ways to dredge the Cao Canal, and the three officials who are dedicated to the country and the people Yan and Tang Dynasty talked very well.

The rest of the people were indifferent, and under the leadership of Qiu Bin, they got some food at will and started drinking.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival. It is also known as the Shangyuan Festival, the Yuan Night, and the Lantern Festival. According to legend, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty celebrated the rebellion of Zhou Bo in the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month of the survey of Zhulu, every night, must go out of the palace to play, and the people have fun, in ancient times, the night is the same night, the first month is also called the first month, the first month of the first month is also called the first month, the Han Wen Emperor will be the fifteenth day of the first month as the Lantern Festival, this night is called the Lantern Festival. Sima Qian created the "Taichu Calendar" and listed the Lantern Festival as a major festival. Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, it has been extremely prosperous. "Sui Shu Music Chronicles" day: "Whenever the first month, all countries come to the court, stay until the 15th in the end of the gate outside the Jianguo Gate, stretching for eight miles, the opera is the theater", the participants in the song and dance are tens of thousands, from the faint to the dark, to the obscure.

Because of the thought that he would have an appointment with his favorite little lady today, Dugu Xinci began to reorganize his outfit after morning exercises.

Dugu Xinci, the official robe, didn't want to wear it, and changed two brocade robes, but he was not very satisfied, and then he was annoyed again, and he made a white-robed scholar at will.

Anyway, this date is about people, not clothes? Dugu Xinci comforted himself.

Du Juan saw that his boss didn't even bother to wear an official robe today, and knew that he would definitely not be able to count on what this son could do today, so he went to the duty, and the unscrupulous boss also ordered him to carry a large bag of rice balls to the county party.

Fortunately, the king of Dugu County understood the distress of Wannian County, and ordered Dugu Jia and others to help, anyway, Wannian County is not far from here.

Meimei ate breakfast, Dugu Xinci took the big bear and his apprentice with full power, but Yu Zhi Stalin, Fujiwara Mayang, and the three Fanbang clans naturally followed, and the tiger who regained his spirit, Zhong Licuo, and a dozen people went out of the house to Suzaku Street.

Along the way, there were already a sea of people, everyone was full of smiles, and the light sheds on both sides of the street were already densely packed.

Everyone began to be interested in commenting on the advantages and disadvantages of the lantern sheds, and when they arrived on Suzaku Street, they were no longer interested in talking, the streets were full of people and lights, and the lamps and candles had not been lit during the day, but there were only a few kinds of various lamp types, oh, there were still hundreds of them, but they were also lamps, but no matter how beautiful and beautiful the lamps were, they would be numb to see more.

The most conspicuous thing in front of Suzaku Gate is the Royal Lantern Display, where the 20-zhang high Ferris wheel full of lanterns begins to rotate slowly, and it is said that 50,000 lanterns of various types are placed here in the library.

Dugu Xin's heart was not at the lantern festival, but looking at the warm sun in the sky, he remembered that the time agreed by Medusa was night, and there was still a whole day left?

Dugu Xinci was suddenly disheartened, lamenting how to survive this day?

After watching the royal lantern show, he took Dugu Xinci along Zhuque Street to look all the way to the north, and also commented on the lantern exhibitions of Wannian County and Chang'an County on both sides.

In terms of luxury, Wannian County can't catch up with Chang'an County, and several giant lantern sheds in Chang'an County are also crowded, and Wannian County is still sparse.

But Dugu Xinci pondered for a while, and looked at the lantern show in Wannian County basically according to his intentions, so he didn't bother to worry about it.

After walking a distance, Dugu Xinci had a lazy attack, and pulled everyone back to Liaoyang Wangfu to play mahjong, everyone was puzzled, but he said that "the lantern will naturally need to be watched at night, and you will look at the back of your head during the day?" ”

Everyone pondered it, the lantern show is naturally waiting, what is the point of this lantern not being lit?

The king of Liaoyang County watched everyone turn around, and he was also puzzled, and when he asked, he didn't pay attention to it, he needed to enter the palace tonight and accompany the saints to watch the lanterns and admire the moon.

Everyone set up the mahjong table and started playing, but Dugu Xinci was driven away from the table, with him on the table, whoever wants to win him can go to the scientific examination, that luck Bao Ru can win.

Dugu Xinci smiled and didn't make trouble, made a pot of tea, and lay in the courtyard basking in the warm sun to recuperate.

After lunch, King Dugu took Qiu Bin and Dugu Jia to Xingqing Palace, and the rest began to stare wide-eyed, so let's play two more games of mahjong, so everyone began to support the table again.

Until the time of the unitary, everyone shouted for dinner, and Dugu Xinci smiled and said, "Wait until you go to the street to find food, if you are full, you will lose if you encounter good food but can't eat it."

Everyone thought about it, and when they went out in the morning, they saw that the boiled shop and the star picking building of Shengdaofang occupied half of the street area, and they didn't have to worry about eating and drinking when they arrived at Suzaku Street.

Dugu Xinci led everyone to light their own lanterns and candles in front of the county king's mansion.

The lantern in front of the palace of Liaoyang County is made by Qiu Bin with the guards, A dog is the general guide, and it is rough but novel, five wolf-shaped lights, five tiger-shaped, five bear-shaped, rabbits, roe deer, and other shapes are still Dugu Xinci asked to add them, and everyone is also perfunctory, that is, they are tied with bamboo strips and pasted with red silk.

Seeing that his house is a cluster of beasts, the Shenwang Mansion opposite is a regular lantern shed, a row of huge palace lights is red and shining, and the high platform in the shed is also full of exquisite lanterns of various types, and there are many onlookers.

Dugu Xinci didn't care, thinking of the little lady waiting in front of the Suzaku Gate, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

The people on the street, in the middle is the BMW carved car, on both sides are all kinds of people walking, Dugu Xinci and his party from Qinren Fang through Changxing Fang to the Anren Fang where the tower of the Recommendation Fu Temple is located, the stalls of the Shengdao Fang and the Star Picking Building are on the street between Anren Fang and Guangfu Fang, with lanterns to enclose the territory of hundreds of steps, full of tables and chairs, under the wall of the steaming hot boiling pot and steamed steamed buns.

Dugu Xinci and his entourage occupied a few tables, Wang Wulang personally sent all kinds of food, boiled hooves, pig's head meat, pig's heart, pig's lungs, pig's tail, and a few plates of pickles, pastries, everyone feasted, the tiger real person is not taboo meat, eat two bites and call out good.

The osmanthus fragrant stuffing is wrapped in walnuts, and the river rice is like a pearl well water.

I saw that a certain house was good at dropping powder, and tried to sell Lantern Festival in the wind.
