It's the Lantern Festival outside, so it's not lively.

Everyone comes to the street to watch lanterns or set off firecrackers, and the excitement of the festival is everywhere.

Xiaoxiang walked and watched, touched the lantern of this little rabbit, or clamored to eat fried rice cakes and sugar gourds, and took it away if he fancied, and Xuanyuan Zhan walked behind to pay.

The streets are bustling with people.

"It's so lively in front, let's go take a look" Xiaoxiang likes to join in the fun, and when he saw a circle of people in front of him, he ran over.

"Take a walk and take a look, guess the riddles, win the jackpot, guess, look at it. The lanterns here are free to guess, and there is a fee here, you can guess the free lantern riddles, or you can participate in the fees here, and there are also grand prizes for the fees here, all of which are answered correctly, and the grand prize will be taken home. ”

"Boss, what's the first prize?"

"The first prize is a pair of mandarin ducks, the second prize is a folding fan personally mentioned by the calligrapher Zhang Xi, and the third prize is a rabbit lamp of Li Ji. Everyone has their own ability, all participants have to pay 500 money, and the prize is taken away if they win. ”

"Pay the money here to participate", the boss shouted while collecting the money to register.

Some people went to guess the free lantern riddles, and some people who rushed for the jackpot paid 500 yuan.

"I want it too, I want it too. Xiaoxiang pushed through the thick crowd and got in, because of her small body, it was easy to get through the cracks.

happily paid 500 money, Xiaoxiang was ready to guess the riddle.

Everyone, look at it, now the riddle begins.

The first riddle, the boss takes the first lantern and takes down the riddle.

Aloud reads: riddle: little by little, little by little, little by little, little by little, little by little.

Enigma: Type four words

The answer is, who knows, please answer.

It's so difficult, Xiaoxiang didn't expect this lantern riddle to be so difficult to guess, it seems that he won't be able to win the grand prize.

The boy who is dressed in white, please answer.

"It's Fen, Qia, slip, sand. The man in white said loudly.

"Exactly, Childe is very literate. "The owner didn't hesitate to praise himself.

"Good" The crowd of onlookers around cheered in unison.

"The second lantern riddle has begun," the boss removes the second lantern.

"Listen up, everyone:

Mystery: The emperor has it, but the minister doesn't. Marshals have, generals don't. The master has it, but the apprentice has not. There is something on the market, but there is no one on the market. There is a lady embroidered drapery, but there is no in the scholar's study.

Enigma: Typing a word"

Xiaoxiang listened to the clouds, why is it so difficult.

"Towel," Xuanyuan Zhan beside him said loudly.

"That's right, this son is also a good writer. It's a 1-1 draw now, don't worry, there's still a chance. ”

.........

After a while, 10 lantern riddles were all guessed, the boss looked at the guessing results, made a difficulty, the boy in white and the boy in brocade each guessed 4 correctly, a tie, the first prize is a pair of jade pendants, who should be given it?

This jade pendant was prepared by his wife for a couple, "The result of the guessing puzzle is a bit unexpected, this white-clothed boy and the brocade-clothed boy are tied, my first prize is a pair of jade pendants, raincoats are in pairs, how is this good?"

This statement immediately exploded among the masses.

The two of them were tied, one for each person, and the jade pendant was divided. ”

"The boy in white is a person, and the boy has the beauty of an adult, so it's better to give this pair of jade pendants to the boy in brocade, they are a couple. ”

"What nonsense, the boy who is with the boy in brocade clothes is a man. ”

"It's not fair, the man in white won, why let it?"

Everyone was talking about it, and they didn't give in to each other.

This also made it difficult for the little boss, "Can you listen to me, why don't we try another question?"

"Okay," everyone echoed in unison.

"This question will come to the pair, change the trick, the upper link is: people over the big Buddha temple temple Buddha big people please the next link"

"The guest is a natural dwelling, and the guest is actually a guest in the sky. Xuanyuan Zhan immediately chanted the next couplet.

The boy in white was the first to applaud, "Bow down to the wind." ”

"Okay, in this game, this brocade boy wins, and this pair of mandarin duck jade pendants will be given to this son. Bless you little couple and beautiful harmony. ”

Xiaoxiang's face turned red when the boss said it, and he turned around and walked out of the crowd. Although Xiaoxiang is shown in men's clothes, the boss who guessed the lantern riddle saw at a glance that Xiaoxiang was a girl, and she was a pair with this brocade boy.

This pair of jade pendants is a token of love between him and his wife, and this Lantern Festival is taken out because Mrs. wants to accumulate blessings for Cai'er.

His daughter Cai'er is suffering from a vicious disease, and his wife hopes to use this pair of jade pendants to spread her good wishes and accumulate good results for her daughter.

The prize for guessing the lantern riddle this time is also the daughter's beloved thing, and the couple hopes that their daughter can get better soon.

The white-clothed boy looked at Xiaoxiang and Xuanyuan Zhan, who had already walked out of the crowd, and the two of them didn't seem to be from Longyou.

"Childe, Childe, your prize. The boss panted and chased after the man in white, insisting that he take the fan away, because it was his prize.

"Thank you. After the boy in white thanked him, he walked in the direction where Xiaoxiang and Xuanyuan Zhan disappeared, the girl was very interesting, he wanted to follow and have a look.

"Look, the lantern festival is about to start. "Everyone is talking about it, you and I are talking, and some people even make bets to guess who this year's Oiran is. Of course, these men discussed the most enthusiastically, and the women all looked disdainful, and what was there to look good about a prostitute in a play, each pulling his man towards his home.

Xiaoxiang pulled Xuanyuan Zhan through the crowd, and finally found the best position to watch the lantern festival, they stood at the highest point on the bridge, from this angle you can see the various stages below, all of which are built by various flower shops, this year's Oiran competition is particularly fierce, so the flower shops built are also beautiful, splendid.

The most competitive this year are Miss Liu Shishi and Miss Lu Xiaoyuan of the Red Mansion.

Everyone knows that these two flower houses belong to different forces, this land of fireworks, but the place of elegance and nobles, and now this Oiran flower falls to whom, it shows who is behind the backstage.

The stage of the Red Mansion is elegant, beautiful, surrounded by smoke, like a fairyland on earth.

These two stages are two different styles. Each has its own merits, and it is difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

At this time, the two Huafang girls walked out slowly, under the illumination of the moonlight, it was really beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off, especially the men's eyes, they all looked directly at the two beauties.

These two beauties also have their own merits, one is a northern beauty with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the other is a beautiful southern beauty with grace and independence.

One is a beautiful flower of wealth in the world, and the other is a wonderful fairy garden that is not stained with dust, forming a stark contrast, it is really difficult to distinguish between victory and defeat.

The competition was divided into four rounds, which were examined from their piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, dances, etc.

The first round of the competition was dance.

Liu Shishi's performance is the dance "Plugged Enchantress", with the vast and melodious voice of the beard, Liu Shishi began to dance, powerful dance, dancing out of the enthusiasm and pride of the people, but not lose charm, the waist that Yingying grasped, evoking your wireless blindness.

And Miss Lu Xiaoyuan's performance is "Three Friends of the Cold Year", one person plays the triangle, pine, bamboo, and plum.

The first dance is about the pine trees welcoming the snow.

Snowflakes floated in the sky, and the snow became heavier and heavier, and Miss Lu Xiaoyuan began to dance in the heavy snow, dancing vigorously, and the audience was enthusiastic.

The pine and cypress represent perseverance and majesty, although it has been devastated by the wind and snow, but it is still proud of the wind and snow, without losing the wind and bones, Lu Xiaoyuan's small body, but jumped out of the perseverance and strength of the pine and cypress, so that the audience felt its strength.

The second dance is performed by the Gentleman of Bamboo.

Bamboo represents the gentleman's high wind and bright festival. Bamboo, the character is simple and pure, the character is strange and elegant, and the form is quiet and pleasant.

When it is not unearthed, there is a festival, not only has the meaning of elegance, but also has the heart of integrity, and there is the bosom of the valley.

In the rolling red dust, there are many people who chase fame and fortune, who can have the heart of bamboo, and how many people can understand the artistic conception of bamboo?

But the girl Lu Xiaoyuan jumped out of the bamboo's high-winded and bright temperament, dancing with the melodious and elegant sound of the bamboo flute, sometimes ethereal, sometimes wanton, unrestrained, so chic and free, so hearty.

Suddenly, the flute sounded urgently, as if the wind was blowing, and Lu Xiaoyuan's dance also changed, every movement was vigorous and powerful, like struggling upward, breaking through the ground, and rising against the wind and frost, not afraid of adversity, not afraid of hardships, tenacious and upright.

As this dance ended, there was a thunderous applause from the audience. For a long time, Miss Lu Xiaoyuan's dance danced out the character and voice of countless men, which resonated with them, and the audience cheered.

In this rolling red dust, his noble qualities are not accepted by the world, and he wants to stay away from officialdom and deceit, but he has to support his family, pass on his ancestry, and it is really difficult to be a man.

The third dance is

Hanmei Aoxue

A pure and crystalline snow in the cold winter wax moon, Shu Roll floated as promised to the vast earth, the sky was full of dancing shadows, like a belated angel in white, Ana's pure and beautiful, quietly and silently gentle and generous, and the trees made of the cold plum and sparrow intimate and affectionate encounter, that moment surprised the sky, let the earth sigh with emotion, the vast and boundless sky, in the ethereal dance whispered from the heart of the poem: "The dragon prince dances the scales, and Snow White gives spring love." The silver is wrapped in plain carving, and the jade tree is painted in the wind.

The audience seemed to be completely immersed in Lu Xiaoyuan's dance, forgetting the land they were on at the moment.

After a dance, they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and there was no doubt that this time it was the victory of the Red Mansion.

The second round of competition is the guqin.

Miss Liu Shishi used the famous piano Jiaowei, and played the famous song "Guangling San", which won a round of applause.

And Miss Lu Xiaoyuan used the famous piano Luqi, and played the famous song "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", which also resonated with countless audiences.

This round of competition was a draw.

The third round of the competition was calligraphy.

Liu Shishi wrote cursively in one hand, playing with the dragon and the phoenix, vigorous and powerful, and completed it in one go.

And Lu Xiaoyuan's girl is a bitter and wild grass, full of Zen and artistic conception, which makes people love it, and many celebrities in the audience are full of praise, and Lu Xiaoyuan's girl wins this game.

The Red Chamber has already won 2 games, and if the last game is won, then the Oiran will be the Red Mansion, but things will never go so well.

At the beginning of the last game, suddenly there was a fire in the flower shop of the Red Mansion, the fire spread quickly, and quickly spread to the surroundings.

Xuanyuan Zhan pulled Xiaoxiang into his arms and escorted Xiaoxiang back to Longmen, now the crowd is too chaotic, Xuanyuan Zhan pulled Xiaoxiang tightly, so as not to be scattered and not found.

In the moving crowd, there was a pair of eyes that were always staring at Xiaoxiang in Xuanyuan Zhan's arms and did not move away, he was the white-clothed man who guessed the lantern riddle.

Xiaoxiang and Xuanyuan Zhan, who returned to Longmen, hurriedly changed their clothes and put back on their shabby clothes, because tonight is the Lantern Festival, Xiao Xuan and Xiao Jin have gone home to spend the holiday with their families, and there are only two people left in this small courtyard, she and Xuanyuan Zhan. Therefore, no one found out that the two of them came back late.

"I think this lantern will be full of suspicions, obviously the Red Mansion can win the championship, why did it catch fire?" Xiaoxiang asked puzzledly, is there someone manipulating this?

"These two flower buildings were opened by the Great Prince and the Nine Emperor Princes of the Northern Underworld, who do you say can win?"

"The people of the Northern Underworld Imperial Family, it is estimated that neither side wants the other party to win, and they will try their best to make the other party lose. ”

"Do you know who the Nine Emperor Princes of the Northern Underworld are?"
