The fifteenth Shangyuan Festival of the first lunar month is a very important day for ancient people, and its significance is not even lower than the Chinese New Year's Eve of the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, because it is the first festival of the new year, and it must be solemn.

Usually on this day, the state capitals will hold the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, to hang lanterns on the most prosperous and hot streets, set up small stalls, from the day of dark, until midnight to finish.

There will also be all kinds of lantern riddles at the lantern festival, and if you guess correctly, you can take away the lantern that hangs the lantern riddle, which is considered a reward.

In addition, there are all kinds of delicious and fun food, juggling, lion dance and so on.

In short, the Shangyuan Festival is a particularly important festival, but anyone who is not too poor to eat will take a walk on the street on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, catch up with the excitement, and buy a few things, in order to be regarded as a new year and a new beginning.

But this year's Shangyuan Festival is unlikely to be too lively for the people of Shangdu.

Although the old queen mother had already sent the spirit out of Beijing to the imperial tomb for burial on the thirteenth day of the first month, after all, there were two funerals in a row in the first month, and they were all royal funerals, especially the old queen mother, which was considered a national funeral, so even if the people were allowed to spend the Yuan Festival, they did not dare to live too lively and extravagant.

So people carefully set up the lantern festival, low-key and low-key to find a small street, symbolically hung some lanterns, but there were no lantern riddles under the lamp, anyway, no one came to guess.

Those stalls that used to be set up at the Lantern Festival and temple fairs did not come, what they thought was that during the national funeral, the emperor asked the Lantern Festival to be polite, for fear of affecting the mood of the people.

But when the people can't really ignore the good and bad, take this thing seriously, right?

You said that two big people died in the palace one after another, and within a few days, the people were playing and singing outside, how bad.

People have such an idea, so this lantern festival is also a situation, hanging some lamps meaning, in fact, no one is shopping, even the lamp is hung out, no one is watching, just burn a candle inside, wait for it to burn out and blow it out.

Naturally, this situation was spread into the palace, and Emperor Tianhe was really helpless after hearing it.

But there is no way, he can't tell the people that you just carnival, the queen mother is dead, I want to carnival, I wish she died! This can't be said, so this Shangyuan Lantern Festival can only be stopped like this.

It also looks prosperous, but in fact it is not like that, in addition to the upper capital, there is also the boat on which Hakuzuru is sitting.

There is also a lantern festival on the ship, but it is not run by the ship's family, but by Zhang Luo, the wife of the yuanyuan.

The ship had docked once a day earlier, and during that docking, the graceful lady disembarked with the money returned to her by the boatman, and many other people who had been on a short ride also disembarked.

Of course, there are also people who get on the boat halfway to add it.

Mrs. Yuanwai also sent people to get off the boat and enter the town, in order to buy things and prepare for the lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the lady hung many lanterns on the ship, there were many at the door of each cabin, and many were hung in the public area, and there were lantern riddles hanging under each lantern, which was said to have been written by the lady herself, and whoever could guess correctly could take the lanterns away.

In addition, an extra plate of snacks will be given as a lottery head.

People were happy at first, after all, the boat ride was boring for a long time, and everyone was willing to participate in having a little fun.

But I didn't expect that the lantern riddle made by the lady was too difficult, and the people on the boat had no knowledge, but no one guessed correctly, and no one took away a lantern, which was very embarrassing.

Of course, Jun Mulin and Bai Heran can guess it, but they didn't participate, they won't be this kind of bird, not to mention that after docking at the dock yesterday, a lot of people came up, they don't want to attract too much attention.

The lady who came out to report back to Zhang Luo told the lady about the situation outside, and the lady also felt embarrassed, and felt that she couldn't get over the face, so she simply removed the lantern riddle, and the lantern at the door of each cabin was given to the guests in that room.

In addition, the lanterns hung in the public area were given to the children on the boat to play.

In addition, she also told the shipwright that she had dinner tonight and asked the shipwright to deliver food to each cabin.

Then the people rejoiced, and many threw their hands at the innermost compartment as a token of gratitude.

Someone also brought food to Bai Heran's room, which was two bowls of old soup noodles with meat, and she was very grateful, and said thank you to the maid of the lady who was outside the staff again and again.

The maid was the eldest maid Zhuyun who had given her snacks before, and when she saw Bai Heran say thank you, she smiled, and then said to her good-naturedly: "The last incident affected Madame, I'm really sorry."

We also didn't expect that the one next door was unreasonable, not only didn't eat snacks himself, but also asked Mrs. to return your share.

It's really helpless to meet this kind of person when she is out of the house, but fortunately, she has already gotten off the ship, so don't take it to heart Madame, if there is something you can still go to our cabin. ”

Bai Heran thanked him for a while, until Zhuyun and Pingzi, who came to deliver noodles, came out of the house, and then sat back on the bed, staring thoughtfully at the two bowls of noodles in front of him.

Mo Yu listened to the movement at the door, and came back after a while and said: "The noodles were also sent on the other side, which were sent by Pingzi, and the maid only stood at the door and did not follow up."

At this time, all the rooms have been delivered, and the people on the ship are eating in their own rooms, which is quiet. ”

After speaking, seeing that Bai Heran had been staring at the two bowls of noodles, he couldn't help but get nervous, "What's the matter, madam?"

Is there a problem with the noodles? ”

As he spoke, he picked up the noodles and looked at them.

Bai Heran waved his hand, "Don't look at it, the noodles are fine, eat them while they're hot!" ”

She took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks, "Speaking of which, we haven't had a hot meal for a few days, and this pretending to be poor is really not something ordinary people can bear." ”

Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite Bai Heran, "Yes, the slave maid also wants to eat meat a little." ”

Having said that, he still gave the few pieces of meat in his bowl to Bai Heran, "Madame, eat more, after this bowl of noodles, the next time you can eat such food, maybe how long you will have to wait!" But speaking of which, the lady is really willing, although the boat is not big, but there are a lot of people living in it, and each person is given a bowl of meat noodles, which is quite expensive. ”

Bai Heran laughed at her: "I just said that I was hungry for meat, and I gave me all the meat." ”

She took it back again, not only did she clip it back, but she also picked two more pieces in her bowl and whispered, "I don't like to eat meat very much, so I'm not greedy, so let's eat it!" The most meat-loving person in our family is Zhen Zhen, and we didn't let her come with us, otherwise she wouldn't be able to stand it just by eating all the way. ”

Mo Yu's face flushed, and she didn't push Bai He anymore, she knew that her young lady really didn't like meat very much, but liked to eat some desserts.

It's a pity that there are no desserts on board, only snacks from the wife.

"Miss Dim Sum will eat more at that moment."

She was no longer polite, and took a piece of meat into her mouth, "It's so fragrant." ”

Bai Heran also ate it, but she kept thinking about it until the two of them finished eating, and then she asked, "Have you seen the content of the lantern riddle that hung at our door before?" ”

Mo Yu shook his head, "I didn't see.

The slave maid came out this time and pretended not to know how to read, since she was illiterate, how could she go to see the lantern riddle! ”

Bai Heran remembered that the character who gave Moyu when he went out was indeed an illiterate maid.

Because she is poor, it is already good to invite a maid, how can she still invite a literate maid.

"Why did the young lady ask such a question?

Is there a problem with the riddle? ”

Mo Yu recalled carefully, but still couldn't remember the content of the riddle.

Bai Heran shook his head, "I don't know if there is a problem, I haven't seen it, I just think that the lady is not full, why did she spend her own money several times to make others happy?"

It's just the first time to send a snack, rich people, they are willing to go out to be kind, anyway, a few plates of dim sum are not worth a few dollars.

But this time, the cost is huge! The things on the ship are already expensive, and the price of this bowl of noodles should be three times that of the outside, so what is the wife spending this lot of money for? ”

"Madame means that Mrs. Wai is trying to deliver news to the outside world by repeatedly sending things?"

Mo Yu was still puzzled, "What message does she want to deliver?"

To whom?

We? ”

She began to get nervous, if the ladies of the staff could see that there was something wrong with them, how could those who followed them not see it?

"Don't be nervous, it's just my guess, maybe the lady just has a lot of money and likes to be lively, so she did this."

Having said that, she still picked up the bowl of noodles and looked left and right, and finally saw nothing.

There was nowhere to move after the meal, and the white crane was lying on the window and looking out.

In winter, the river does not freeze in the north, and it is even less common to go to the northwest, so in the winter, there are many boats on the river, because the waterway is easier to travel than the land route, and people usually choose to go out by boat.

Since the graceful lady got off the ship, no other dangerous people were found on the ship, but she still could not let her guard down, just like the foreign lady, who until now still doubted the original intention of the lady to send things several times.

I hope it's really Qian Duo willful, but if she has other plans, she also hopes that the other party is not her.

In short, I just want this road to be smooth and steady, so that she can reach Lancheng smoothly.

They also have to change their clothes and horses from Lancheng and sneak into Gobu! There has been no news from the Nine Emperors so far, she is very worried, and the Four Princes who are far away in Gebu make her even more relieved.

There was movement at the door, she looked back and saw that it was Luo Xiu who helped Jun Murin over.

When he opened the door, Jun Mulin said, "Lady, I'll come to see you, and I will bring you the snacks from the wife, and you can keep them for tomorrow morning." ”

This sounds very normal to outsiders, when the husband cherishes his wife, he is reluctant to eat snacks and keep them for his wife.

But to Bai Heran's ears, this person is a weasel to a chicken...... No, the weasel gave her a New Year's greeting, and she didn't have a good heart......
