Lantern Festival——

When night falls, the streets are lit up, and red lanterns hang in the sky, which are more beautiful than the moon and stars in the sky.

It was crowded, lively, and people were smiling.

"It's beautiful!" An Jingyu looked up at the strings of red lanterns above her head, dazzlingly red and intoxicated.

In the distance, there are yarn lanterns, chandeliers and palace lanterns, various, unique and beautiful shapes, there are characters, flowers, birds, fish and insects, mountains and rivers, dragons and phoenixes, wonderful and beautiful.

"Be careful." Forget Wu was holding her little hand on her left, and the road was crowded, worried that she would fall or be eaten tofu.

Although Zhongli Huasen and An Yue had opened the way in front, there were Yan Huan, Wei Ming and Mu Sheng surrounding them behind.

"Hehehe......" She rarely went out once, and it was the first time she saw the Lantern Festival, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.

Yu Chiche supported her on her right, worried about her safety, because many men always deliberately squeezed over, but fortunately he was agitated and kicked him fiercely, seeing him so violent. The men flinched.

The epidemic has occurred for more than two months, and the epidemic prevention and control in Kyoto has been very effective, and the epidemic has been basically eliminated, and people have been confined at home for two consecutive months, and they have not even gone out to visit relatives and friends on the first day of the new year, and the alarm has been lifted, which coincides with the Lantern Festival, the last day of the Spring Festival.

People happily came out to visit the lanterns to relax, and the noise and laughter of the scene were endless.

Today is the Lantern Festival, which is not only as simple as holding a lantern festival, but also a festival for single men and women to go on a blind date.

"Sister, what are you going to play? Guess riddles or play games like rings? An Yue looked back at her, with a happy smile on his face, he was now full of only thinking about playing, and he wanted to have a good time, and he was about to mold in the house for the past two months.

"It's okay, you can play until the end of the lantern festival anyway." The curfew has been for two or three months, and people are going crazy, and tonight they will definitely go home until midnight.

An Jingyu thought about playing and eating, especially the Lantern Festival, which was going to eat glutinous rice balls, it was delicious to think about.

Zhongli Huasen and the others stopped in a relatively open place, and there happened to be a lantern riddle guessing here, and there were already several people participating in the lantern riddle guessing competition.

"Do we play too?" Guess the lantern riddle, she only participated in the welfare home in her previous life, and she didn't try to participate in the lantern festival and riddles outside, which has always been a regret in her heart.

"Do you want to play?" Zhongli Huasen touched the top of her head dotingly, only to see her eyes shining, nodding like pounded garlic, as if she liked to guess lantern riddles.

"How many boys and girls do you want to participate? In a group of three, guess 10 to get a red lantern, guess 20 to get a palace lantern, and guess 30 to get a marquee. ”

The lantern owner enthusiastically promoted his family's lanterns, for fear that they would not participate, and stretched out his hand to point to several lanterns hanging in front of him, including intricate and beautiful palace lanterns, as well as marquee lanterns that would turn into animations.

In addition, he thought that these guests were so beautiful, if they could participate in his lantern riddle guessing competition, they would definitely attract more customers and business would be more prosperous.

Seeing the beautiful and magical marquee, An Jingyu thought of the allusion to the marquee.

The upper link is: the marquee, the lamp goes, the light goes out and the horse stops.

The next link is: Flying Tiger Flag, Flag Flying Tiger, Flag Rolling Tiger Hide.

This couplet comes from the allusion of "Wang Anshi Picks Up the Couplet and Gets a Wife". Legend has it that when Wang Anshi was twenty-three years old, he went to take the exam, wandered on the street at night, and saw a couplet on the marquee lantern at the entrance of the horseman: "Marquee, lamp, light off, stall." ”

Apparently waiting for someone to go down. After Wang Anshi saw it, he couldn't help clapping his hands and saying, "That's right!" ”

What he meant was that it was a wonderful sentence. The Ma family members standing next to them mistakenly thought that Wang Anshi's meaning was easy to be right, and immediately told the staff.

This Shanglian was made by Miss Ma to choose a son-in-law, so the staff hurriedly came out to find Wang Anshi, but Wang Anshi praised and left, and they didn't see each other for a while.

In the field, Wang Anshi was the first to hand in the papers, and the examiner saw that he handed in the papers quickly and wanted to test his talents, so he pointed to the flying tiger flag in front of the hall and said: "Flying tiger flag, flag flying tiger, flag rolling tiger hiding." Wang Anshi did not hesitate to use the "horse lantern, light to go horse, light out horse stop" in front of the horseman's outer door, which was naturally fast and good, which surprised the examiner.

Looking back at the opportunity given to him by the marquee, he couldn't help but come to the door of Ma's house again. The Ma family recognized the person who said "good and right" a few days ago, so they asked him to come to the house to deal with it.

With the examiner's Flying Tiger Flag, it was naturally good, and the Ma family immediately married his daughter to him and chose Ji to marry.

When the wedding was being held, the newspaper came to report: "Lord Wang High School, please go to the Qionglin banquet tomorrow." ”

It really is "the night of candles in the cave room, when the title of the gold list." ”

Wang Anshi picked up two couplets, took the main exam, and won the good wife, which was rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while.

"Let's team up then! Anyone who wants to participate please raise their hand. An Jingyu was afraid that someone would snatch her position, so as soon as the words fell, she quickly raised her right hand.

An Yue was excited, and he also raised his hand to vote. "I'm second, I'm going to participate too."

"Of course I'm going to participate." Yu Chiche quickly raised his hand before Forget Wu raised his hand, and Forget Wu was a little disappointed.

"Forget nothing, you can team up with Zhong Liyanhuan." An Jingyu was reluctant to make him sad, but he did move a little slower, and was robbed of the opportunity by Wei Chiche.

"Hmm." In fact, he wanted to be on a team with her, but unfortunately he was a step slower.

"Then let's work together to get two marquees home! Come on! An Jingyu cheered herself up stupidly, but she looked like she was all over the city, and her expressions were very cute and beautiful, and even people passing by were attracted and stopped to admire.

The lantern owner took out two copies of the identical lantern riddle to the two teams, and the answer was written on a piece of paper and submitted to the shopkeeper, and the competition only had a pillar of incense, which was very urgent and exciting.

An Jingyu got the cards with thirty riddle questions, and each gave An Yue and Wei Chiche ten cards, so she looked at the question and thought about it carefully.

Zhongli Huasen also gave Wu Wu and Yan Huan ten cards each, everyone quietly looked at the question and thought, and after a while, several people picked up their pens and wrote the answers on the rice paper.

An Jingyu had already written down six answers, but there were four other riddles that were so difficult and profound, and she couldn't think of the answers.

For example: before the lights go out (hit a flower)

Eighty-eight (playing an idiom)

She had to exchange the four riddles that she couldn't think of an answer with Yu Chiche to see if he could, and then she took a look at his riddles that she didn't guess the answer to, and sure enough, she guessed two of them, and happily wrote the numbers and answers on the paper.

If they want to be a marquee, it means that they have to guess all the riddles, that is, thirty riddles, which is so difficult.

"Brother Yue, how many did you guess over there?" She leaned over to look at An Yue's situation, and saw that he was thinking about only three riddle cards, and seven answers had been written on the paper.

That's amazing! She only has six.

"You won't show us the three sheets, but mine will show you, maybe it will be solved, and there is only a small piece of incense left."

She looked back and saw that the pillar of incense was about to burn out, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious, she snatched the card in An Yue's hand and looked at it carefully.

And Zhongli Huasen's side only had five riddles left to guess the riddle, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw An Jingyu on the other side.

"Don't worry, even if you can't get a marquee, I can buy you a few."

"What's the point of buying? Only those who win it back are commemorative. An Jingyu scoffed at Zhongli Huasen's words, thinking about the answer, and didn't even raise her head to look at him.

"Yu'er, don't worry, I'll definitely help you win that marquee." As soon as Wei Chiche saw the opportunity, he came over and actively expressed his gratitude.

"Really? Then hurry up and give me me! An Jingyu pushed his head back, so close, that she wanted to eat her tofu again. Dislike! The mind is full of love and superficiality.

She glared at him fiercely, and then continued to look at the riddle to guess the answer.

"Sister, I'm done writing, what are you?" An Yue leaned over and showed her the answer. Seeing that she still had two in her hand, she couldn't help but be a little anxious.

"I'll do it."

"Hmm." She knew he was smart, so she asked him to answer the remaining two riddles.

"Mine is done." Yu Chiche came over again and handed her the answer, with a look of joy and pride, waiting to be praised by her.

"I'm done with it." An Yue quickly came up with the answers and wrote them down on paper, handing the three answers to the lantern boss.

"The incense burned out, and the sons handed over the answers to me." The lantern boss can't wait, and on the one hand, he wants to announce the answer, and on the other hand, he is afraid that someone will actually win the first place in the competition. His house is a first-class lantern in Kyoto, and it has been sold for more than a dozen taels before.

Zhongli Watson was the last to give the answer, and looking at his stern expression, the lantern boss didn't dare to be angry with him.

I had to take out the answer sheet to check the answers, tick the correct ones, cross the wrong ones, and return the paper to the contestants to fill in the answers. It was announced that Zhongli Watson's team had answered thirty riddles and won a marquee.

And although An Yue answered thirty riddles, he only got twenty-nine right. I can't get a marquee, just send a palace lamp, which is also very good, although An Jingyu is a little disappointed and sad.

"Yu'er, give it to you, we originally participated for you." Forget Wu asked Zhongli Huasen's consent, and carried the lantern boss to send the lantern away and handed it to her.

"Thank you, Forget. Thank you Zhongli, thank you. An Jingyu's eyes were red, tears were shining, shining in the light, and she was pitiful.

She carried the lantern and grinned at them. "It's beautiful! You see, the lantern screen keeps turning, it's amazing. ”

And An Yue was carrying a palace lantern, and he felt that among all the lanterns, the palace lantern was the best.

"Yu'er, I've worked hard?" Yu Chiche wrapped one hand around her thin waist and kissed her on the cheek.

"Well, I know, I don't blame you." She responded to him and kissed him as well. "Continue next year! Strive to take away the lantern every year! ”

"Well, hehehe......" Wei Chiche was happy in his heart, as long as she was by his side, it was enough.
