Chapter 401, Shangyuan Lamp

This dragged on, and it came to the Shangyuan Festival.

The Shangyuan Festival of the Great Jin Dynasty will have a three-day lantern festival, from the fourteenth day of the first month to the sixteenth day of the first month, and then the year is officially over.

The streets of the capital are lit up with lights, along the banks of the South Crown River and the North Crown River, which are the most dense. The inside and outside of the Imperial City are also full of colorful lanterns, and the streets next to the Imperial City are all where the prefectures are located, and many adults also hang lanterns, most of which are also made by themselves, and the styles are different.

Outside the imperial city, also set up a high lamp tower, there is a brocade box at the top of the lamp tower, every year on the day of the Yuan Festival, the emperor wants to come to watch the lantern in person, set up a colorful head, the lion dance wins, because there is a certain risk, ordinary people do not dare to participate, most of them are several battalions of military generals and soldiers, these gentlemen in Beijing, last year's champion is the two leopard guards under He Teng. This year, because King Xiaoliang came to the capital, in order to help the fun, even the people in the guard camp had to go to the lion dance to grab the lottery, Emperor Huiwen also made a cost, Helan Xue said that he didn't understand, does such a scumbag need to be so pleased?

She didn't bother to pay attention to it too much, and she didn't want Jingwei Ying to lose face too much, so she picked two generals with good kung fu to go, and she invited Liao Qiaoyu to go to enjoy the lanterns with Wei Huan and the two sisters. Wei Peng was naturally inseparable from her, so the group plunged into the sea of lights.

Liao Qiaoyu has always been dignified and steady, and together with the Wei Huan sisters, she covered her mouth and nose with a veil, fearing that people would have many eyes and would make trouble when they saw their appearance. Especially afraid of meeting King Xiao Liang, others naturally dare not do anything to them, but who knows if a lustful person like King Xiao Liang will be overwhelmed if he sees it.

The lantern festival is crowded with people, there are people who guess lantern riddles, there are people who set up a stage to sell their arts, there are also pot betting, there are chess games, and there are countless flavor snacks and folk gadgets, and there are countless of them.

Wei Huan and Wei Singer carried the lantern in one hand, holding the sugar man, suffering from the inconvenience of taking off the veil, seeing Wei Peng carrying the lantern for Helan Xue in one hand and a bag of snacks in the other, He Lanxue reached out and touched it from time to time and put it in her mouth.

Liao Qiaoyu couldn't help shaking her head, Wei Huan took her hand, and sighed: "Sister Qiao Yu, why do you say that these two people never converge?" ”

Wei Ge said with a smile: "The mother concubine said that when my brother marries Sister A Xue home in the future, I won't be so presumptuous when I look at it every day." ”

Helan Xue had already put the sesame candy in her hand back into her mouth, and said angrily: "When did I say that I was going to marry your brother, your brother has a high vision and dislikes me." ”

Liao Qiaoyu glanced at Wei Peng, and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning when you say this?" The prince of the world dislikes you like this, so do you want the son of the world to spoil you to heaven? ”

Wei Peng couldn't help nodding, this eldest sister is right!

A few people talked and laughed along the riverbank to go around the imperial city, the lion dance is the highlight of the night, every year is set in Haishi, the time is still early, the lantern festival is crowded, all in the direction of the imperial city.

Wei Ge tiptoed around from time to time, the excitement in her eyes could not be concealed, she pulled He Lanxue with her backhand, squeezed into the crowd over there, and said, "Sister Axue, come and help me throw the pot and win that lottery." ”

Behind him, Wei Peng couldn't help telling him to be careful, he didn't want to squeeze in to see the excitement, and He Lanxue waved his hand impatiently.

The color head of this pitcher is a jade vase, the jade is also a high-class color, the chips are also one or two silver branches, eight arrows, all in and the score is high, this is not high in difficulty, but the arrows of this house are thinner and lighter than the ordinary, the diameter of the spout is exactly the size of the space of the eight arrows, and the ear on both sides is the thickness of the four arrows, that is to say, this size is full of calculations, and the slightest deviation will miss.

Wei Ge explained to Helan Xue that this pot throwing shop sets up such a lottery head every year, but very few people are all successful, and those who are not without good hands are just self-contained and disdainful of the end, and those jade and jade that are used as lottery heads are not good goods. Wei Ge and the others are not just trying to be happy.

Helan Xue pulled her and squeezed her over to see the colorful head and couldn't help but laugh, there are no good things in the palace, how can this be rare.

Wei Ge smiled and pouted: "Good sister, you can win that one for me, I just want to see you kill in all directions, it's really too spirited." As she spoke, there was a look of adoration and admiration on her face.

Helan Xue rubbed her head with a smile, and said softly: "Why don't you go back and I'll ask you to teach you kung fu, and you will go with me to the front of the battle?" After speaking, he shook his head again, and said deflatedly: "Forget it, Aunt Xin holds you in the palm of her hand, and Ah Peng and I fight and kill in the court every day, forget it, you are still safe and secure in the palace." ”

As the two spoke, Pin Ming had already bought sixteen arrows and handed them to them. Helan Xue asked the rules with a smile, weighed the weight of the arrows again, and whispered something in Wei Ge's ear, Wei Ge's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously. She stretched out her hand and threw the arrow in her hand towards the mouth of the pot, Helan Xue smiled on her face, and with a flick of her fingers, a small piece of loose silver had bounced out, hitting the tail end of the arrow, correcting the direction and strength, and the arrow fell lightly in the pot.

The audience cheered loudly.

Wei Ge also smiled and bent his eyes, like this, if He Lanxue felt that the arrow was going in the wrong direction, she would help her correct it, and if she felt that it was okay, she would ignore it, and sure enough, Wei Ge threw six branches in one go. There are more and more onlookers, is this little girl going to take down this vase?

The moment this seventh branch was thrown, Wei Ge suddenly bumped into the person who squeezed in, and the strength in his hand was also much off, no matter how He Lanxue cheated, this branch would be irreparable. When Wei Ge turned his head dissatisfied, he saw Wen Muqing happily pulling Princess Dinghe and squeezing in, and it was this squeeze that missed Wei Ge's arrow.

Wei Ge said angrily: "Sister Mu Qing, you missed my arrow, you compensate me." ”

Wen Muqing responded with a smile: "Who should I be here, it turned out to be Sister Ge'er, what?" Did you win? Dinghe said that the lottery head of this house is extremely rare, and I also want to try it. ”

Seeing Dinghe, Helan Xue inevitably saluted her, but when she was outside the palace, it was inconvenient to be too public, so she just made a regular salute. Dinghe smiled slightly, he still had a good impression of this female general, after all, he was fighting foreign enemies for the Wei family, and arrogance was just arrogance in front of those who hated him, and there was no reason to dislike others like Wen Muqing.

Facing Helan Xue's smile, Wen Muqing's face darkened and turned to the side.

With the addition of Wen Muqing and Dinghe, the crowd was much denser, and Helan Xue was not good at doing it anymore, Wei Ge threw the last throw and landed outside the pot, and the crowd sighed loudly.
