Chapter 62 The city is full of lanterns
The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of incense, the sound of the phoenix flute moves, the jade pot turns brightly, and the fish and dragon dance all night.
The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim.
After Gu An and the others rested in the teahouse for a while, they went to the lamp market to buy lanterns together.
Zhao Qian was most familiar with this place, so he took everyone to the Lamp Market.
He said to the crowd: "If you want to buy lanterns, go to the lantern market, where there are the most abundant lamps and lanterns, and you can buy any lanterns you want." ”
His words made everyone's eyes light up, and they began to look forward to what kind of place the light market was.
When Zhao Xuan heard his brother's introduction, his heart was itching, and he was anxious to go to the lamp market.
She said, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" ”
And she came to Mu Wanqin's side? Pulling Mu Wanqin and said, "Brother Shaobai, what kind of lanterns do you like!" Why don't we buy the same one? ”
Mu Wanqin looked at the lively and cheerful girl in front of her, and she also smiled.
She looked back at Ruoyi again, but saw that she was only eating the chicken leg in her hand, and she didn't follow the rhythm of everyone at all, so she couldn't help but shake her head.
The two are of similar age, but their personalities are very different.
So she said to Zhao Xuan: "I like lotus flowers, out of the mud without staining." I'm going to pick a lotus lantern. ”
Zhao Xuan also said after hearing this: "Then I also want lotus lanterns!" ”
After she finished speaking, she secretly looked at Mu Wanqin, and saw that she had no objections, and she was secretly happy in her heart!
Seeing this, Gu An felt a little surprised for some reason. Although this person is just a little girl, he still feels that a "rival in love" is a great threat.
But then he laughed dumbly, fighting with a child, still a girl, he thought it was funny.
So he shook his head helplessly and left it behind.
Zhao Qian walked first and led everyone towards the light market.
Illumination market for the carnival of lantern parties. There are plenty of lanterns of all kinds.
After arriving at the light market, everyone was attracted by the various lamps and lanterns in front of them.
The types of lanterns not only include horse lanterns, Kong Ming lanterns, glazed lanterns, white jade lanterns, grass lanterns, bead lanterns, Luo silk lanterns, sheepskin lamps and other small palace lamps with exquisite structure and fine decoration, as well as a variety of vivid color tie simulacrum lamps, as well as lantern wheels, lamp trees, lamp towers, and lantern scenes that are stacked and suspended with lanterns.
Zhao Xuan was the most lively, pointing at the hanging lantern, and looking at the anagram on it was also full of confusion.
Ruoyi, this girl has melon seeds in her mouth that she doesn't know where they came from, and follows behind everyone.
Cheng Mo followed behind Mu Wanqin expressionlessly, looking at the surrounding situation vigilantly at all times, and dutifully started the escort work.
Leng Wushuang and the fourth prince talked and laughed at the end, as if the excitement here could not interrupt their laughter.
And Zhao Qian introduced the situation of the lamp market to Mu Wanqin and Gu An.
He pointed to the various lanterns in front of him and said, "Lanterns, also known as lanterns, have now formed a unique industry. The lamps and lanterns in the lamp market are very rich, such as line lamps, tripod-shaped lamps, seat lamps and animal-shaped lamps, etc., and the materials used in lamps and lanterns are also copper, iron, pottery, jade, stone and so on.
Moreover, the lantern shape is basically based on four, five, and six as the decent fixed number and cardinal number, in order to symbolize the number of four hours, five squares, and six combinations, and the decoration on it is more exquisite, and it symbolizes the meaning. ”
Gu An and Mu Wanqin listened to Zhao Qian's introduction very carefully, and asked some questions from time to time.
And Zhao Qian also answered them one by one.
Suddenly, Mu Wanqin looked at a lantern, which was huge, composed of all kinds of small lanterns and became a perfect tree lantern.
She couldn't help but ask Zhao Qian: "Brother Zimo, this lantern is so special!" ”
Zhao Qian looked at the tree lamp in front of him, and he was also full of praise, and he didn't forget to explain it to Mu Wanqin: "The lantern wheel is twenty zhang high, the clothes are brocade, decorated with gold and silver, and 50,000 lamps are burned, and the clusters are like flowers and trees." Among them, the large-scale lanterns such as the lamp tree and the lamp mountain are very prosperous in Jingcheng. At night, when the tree is lit, it is even more beautiful. ”
Mu Wanqin couldn't help but sigh, this lantern has really been developed to the extreme, and I have to say that the great wisdom of the working people, they continue to create miracles.
Then Zhao Qian took them to a stall, which was full of lanterns, and it was also the place where he introduced everyone to buy lanterns.
The lanterns of this house are also the best one made by Jingcheng.
Zhao Qian said to Gu An and the others: "The lanterns in this house are very good, and the owner of this house, Wang Yurong, is known as the 'Lantern King'. Among them, he is the best at lotus lanterns! ”
Among the many lantern makers, Wang Yurong is known as the "Lantern King". He was a simple and intelligent farmer who loved to make lanterns. Every time he is free in winter, Wang Yurong goes to the lantern maker to learn the lantern-making skills. After painstaking research, the lotus lanterns and carp lanterns he made were very popular, and he was known as the local "lantern king", and since then he has been making lanterns for a living.
Mu Wanqin looked at the various lotus lamps and carp lamps on display, and finally chose a blank lotus lamp.
She said to Wang Yurong: "Boss, do you have paper and pen here?" ”
Wang Yurong said with a smile: "This son wants to write a poem!" I'm going to fetch it. ”
He didn't feel strange at all about Mu Wanqin's request.
Because many people who come to him to buy lanterns like to inscribe themselves.
Because the lantern integrates poetry, literature, calligraphy and painting, it strengthens the aesthetic taste, and at the same time inherits the traditional symbolism and allegorical expression.
Soon Wang Yurong brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone and handed it to Mu Wanqin.
Mu Wanqin took the pen and ink, thought for a moment, and then happily picked up the pen and made a painting on the lotus lamp, which was the scene of a pair of lovers meeting with a lantern.
Then she wrote a poem in the blank space next to her: The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy and you don't know.
This is a sentence from "Yue Ren Song".
After Zhao Qian looked at it carefully, he couldn't help but admire: "Shaobai's painting is good, and the poem is even better!" ”
Zhao Qian also admired Mu Wanqin's ability to write such beautiful poems in an instant, if he really couldn't do it.
Gu Anxin realized something, and he also brought a carp lamp, and inscribed a sentence on it: I only hope that your heart is like my heart, and I will live up to my love.
Lizhi, flounder!
Seeing this, Mu Wanqin also smiled.
This laugh captivates the city and the country.
Let Gu An on the side look fascinated.
There are no colorful phoenix wings, and there is a little bit of wisdom in the heart.
At this moment, Zhao Xuan was also clamoring for Mu Wanqin to inscribe the lantern she gave her.
Zhao Qian had no choice but to ask for this sister: "Brother Bai is tired of writing an inscription for her sister!" ”
Mu Wanqin was helpless, and also wrote a sentence on Zhao Xuan's lantern: There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent. One look at the city, and then look at the country.
Zhao Xuan took it and was overjoyed.
Although she didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, she was happy to see that it was Shaobai's brother who wrote it for her.
Others also bought a lantern, and then bought a lantern market to hang out, the lamp market, generally at night is the most lively, when the thousand lights bloom, the whole city is like a city that never sleeps.
At night, the lamps hung on the walls of each house, the lamps hanging in front of the doors, and the lamps of visitors...... There are all kinds of fire, fire trees and silver flowers, such as entering the city that never sleeps.
The lanterns are high, and the lamp market is booming.
Lights, torches, singing and dancing everywhere!
It was a battle for wealth among wealthy businessmen, and the lanterns hung during the Festival of Lights also became an opportunity for them to show off their wealth. The paintings on many lanterns are either hand-painted by famous teachers, or written with innovative lantern riddles, which are often dizzying.
Only one lantern festival, there will be dozens of kinds of golden lotus lanterns, jade house lanterns, lotus lanterns, hibiscus lanterns, hydrangea lanterns, snowflake lanterns, Xiucai lanterns, daughter-in-law lanterns, monk lanterns, general judgment lanterns, master's lanterns, bangs lanterns, camel lanterns, green lion lanterns, ape lanterns, white elephant lanterns, catfish lanterns, crab lanterns, sheepskin lanterns and preying lanterns.
And the most eye-catching entertainment program at the lantern party is to guess the lantern riddles.
Guessing lantern riddles is a very prominent and popular recreational activity in lantern culture, that is, riddles are pasted on the lanterns, so that people can guess riddles while enjoying the lanterns.
Enigmas mostly focus on the meaning of words, such as a word, a poem, an object or a name. Lantern art is a kind of comprehensive space art with strong characteristics, and this art form is unique because of the time factor of introducing light, and it is full of vitality by the soul of the penetrating lamp of firelight.
Mu Wanqin held her lotus lantern in her hand, and as everyone walked in the lamp market, looking at the lively scene, she was also very happy, and it was a happy thing to be able to watch the lanterns here with the people she liked.
At this time, Ruoyi was also attracted by the excitement in front of her, she didn't know when she talked and laughed with Zhao Xuan, both of them were cute ages, and they were very happy about the excitement.
Zhao Xuan has always been strictly required by his uncle and father, and rarely has the opportunity to go out to play, especially at night.
And Ruoyi didn't have the opportunity to contact such a lively scene, but she was even more attracted by everything here, and she was curious about everything in front of her.
After a while, they were gone.
Zhao Qian was worried about Zhao Xuan's safety, and hurriedly followed them.
left Gu An and Mu Wanqin behind.
Silence is better than sound at this point.
Although the two didn't speak, their eyes were on each other's bodies, and their love couldn't be hidden.
As for Leng Wushuang and the fourth princess, they didn't know where they went after nightfall, and with the protection of Leng Wushuang and the secret guard, Gu An didn't worry about their safety, so he walked with Mu Wanqin and the two of them in the lamp market.
And on this day, in the palace of Chu State, the Emperor of Chu also personally feasted all the ministers, this is the time to enjoy with the people, they are no exception, and naturally they are also in the palace to enjoy the colorful lanterns in the city.
And in the middle of the night, there will be a fireworks display, which is even more exciting.
