The whole market rushed to the river, the bank of the Huai River.

I took Mo Xi's hand, crowded in the crowd, there were vendors selling lotus lanterns everywhere, and some selling snacks, bowl cakes, begonia cakes, red bean dumplings and the like abounded, making people dizzy.

"Old man, what kind of lantern is this going to be so lively." I stopped in front of a stall selling sake dumplings and asked the busy old man in a low voice.

The old man smiled and replied to me, "Qiqiao Lantern Festival, it will be the Qixi Festival in two days, don't you know?" ”

Qixi Festival? No wonder. Qixi Festival, also known as Qiqiao, is the day when the Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet once a year, and it is also a good day for those lovers to get together and the girls to make wishes than Qiao.

"If you're tired, two bowls of dumplings, put more sugar." I nodded, and asked the old man for two servings of wine, planning to eat it as dessert with Moxi.

Looking at the vast sea of people, I really don't want to squeeze around, so I might as well stop here and wait for the crowd to disperse and come and go.

"Xianggong, aren't you going to be dumb?" Mo Xi swallowed a glutinous rice ball and sneered.

I shrugged my shoulders, a little helpless, "This big night, the frolic is so loud, few people will pay attention to my voice, and if I don't talk to others, I'm afraid that I will really become dumb." ”

"Actually, Xianggong is really like a man's voice when he speaks in his voice, so don't pretend to be dumb." She said with a serious face.

I nodded my head to show that I agreed.

Pretending to be dumb, it was too hard, and I talked and laughed with her and ate half a bowl of wine, only to feel that my stomach was about to bulge.

After paying the money, he took Moxi and prepared to leave, and the old man actually gave us a lotus lamp, saying that it was made by his wife, and all the guests who visited him these nights would send it.

Mo Xi held the lotus lantern and was careful along the way, for fear of breaking it.

It is a lotus lamp made of pale pink cotton paper paste, a thin bamboo strip made of a shelf, and a small candle is placed in the place of the lotus heart, which is also intimately dyed into a tender yellow, if you don't look carefully, it really looks like a water lotus.

I have never had the Qixi Festival in the palace, there are not many concubines and concubines, and I don't like this, not to mention that I never count the days, let alone when to celebrate what festival, how to arrange the internal supervision room, I will spend it.

This is the first time I've celebrated the Qixi Festival.

Follow the crowd to the Huai River, the whole river has been put into thousands of river lanterns, the stars are like the Milky Way, those faint lights are dotted with diamonds like inky satin sparkling, the wind blows along the water, the scene is really spectacular.

In the willow forest by the river, the willow branches are hung with red silk riddles, and those scholars are also scrambling to take them down and write riddles, some are just for the Pomeranian people to laugh, because the lantern riddle master has been roaring on the color table, can guess a few lantern riddles to send a few silver taels and so on.

Those who can't be provoked want to try it, maybe they will be right.

Mo Xi was also in high spirits, just put down the lotus lantern, and asked me to accompany her to guess the lantern riddle, I looked at her funny, and asked, "If you can't guess, it's embarrassing." ”

She didn't think so, and squeezed her eyes at me, "The slave family won't, and there is Xianggong, Xianggong is a gentleman who reads poetry and books." ”

"Ahem, when did I say that I read poetry and books, but I only know a few words." As soon as she said this, it made me ashamed, and I often boasted to her on weekdays that I was well-read, but I didn't expect this Nizi to bring it up to me now.

"Then I don't care, the prime minister has to come out on top tonight, otherwise Ming'er won't eat meat."

"Okay, eh? Isn't it fair? I nodded in response, and suddenly reacted to being cheated by this girl.

"Didn't Xianggong say that he would spoil his concubine in everything? Now just because she married the second room, it's like this, and the concubine has a hard life. She actually sobbed as she spoke, and such a fuss attracted the attention of many people, and she didn't give up, "The concubine just wants Xianggong to try, not to let Xianggong spend a lot of money." ”

The passers-by on the side looked at me with curious eyes, and pointed and pointed, without listening to it, I knew that I was definitely saying that I was a person of thin affection, or that I didn't understand the amorous feelings, Mo Xi was good, covering her face with a handkerchief, I couldn't see her expression, but I saw the corners of her mouth raised, and I saw it really!!

"Okay, good, I'm afraid of you, just do your best for your husband." shook his head, defeated, really convinced this Nizi.

Hearing me do this, she immediately put down her veil and smiled, looking like a villain.

I had no choice but to follow her into the depths of the forest, and tore off a piece of red silk with her hand, only to see that it was written in small letters, "The sky is great." Typing. ”

"What does it mean that the sky is big?" Mo Xi took the puzzle from my hand, looked at it, and muttered, "What kind of riddle is this, it's confusing." ”

I flicked her with my fingers and pretended to be displeased, "Blame me? ”

"Huh? No, no, no, no blame, how do people know that this question is so nonsensical. Seeing that my face was down, she panicked and hurriedly explained.

"It's good to know that it's wrong, and think about it carefully for your husband." I just like to tease her and see how she looks lost.

When she heard me say this, she knew that I was pretending to be angry again, and Xiao Pink Fist waved it over without saying anything, and I grabbed it and blocked it back, and I hit her waist and whispered, "Don't make trouble." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I heard a few laughing voices next to me, which made the two of us embarrassed, so I quickly let her go, just afraid that outsiders would just flirt in the dark in this forest.

"The sky is big, the word sky is big, I guess, this mystery is one, you take this puzzle to the color platform to get the reward." After thinking about it for a few minutes, I only think that this answer is the most reliable, and the simpler the riddle, the less difficult it is to think of.

Stuffing the red silk in her hand to Mo Xi, she looked at me with a look of distrust as she held the things, and asked, "Really?" ”

"I can't lie to you, go ahead." Hearing that I was so sure, she didn't say anything more, took the red silk and went to the color table, and in less than a quarter of an hour, she rushed back in a hurry, still dragging a piece of silver in her hand.

"Xianggong is so good, keep going, maybe I can earn all the money for this month's food tonight." She put the silver in her purse and urged me in a hurry.

Laughing, this girl really overestimates me.
