Chapter Seven: Tangmei Reunion (I)
Doctor Li looked at him listlessly: "It's just a hurry, are you so tired!" Look at your usual crazy play, drink tea and be sober and sober, what does it look like! ”
Li Yu didn't dare to reply, so he had to sit upright and lift the teapot and pour a cup of tea, and when he saw that Li Tang had no cup in front of him, he also poured her a cup; As soon as he took a sip and came back to his senses, Li Tang grabbed his arm and said, "Brother, you can take me to play in a while!" ”
As soon as Li Yu finished speaking, before Li Yu could reply to her, he heard Dr. Li's warning: "Girl's family, where do you want to go wild?" Walk together after eating, don't run around! ”
Li Tang was reluctant, and was about to speak, when the dishes were ready, Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, where did you get so many rules a day, eat first." Saying that, he glanced at Li Tang slightly, Li Tang had no choice but to shut up and pick up chopsticks to eat.
After the Li family finished dinner at one table, the sky had already darkened, but the street began to be lively.
Chongning City's lantern street this year, from the West Street Exit to the East Street Entrance, the night scene and all kinds of lanterns along the way, the street is full of small stalls on both sides, and there is a lantern riddle contest to sing on the stage, there will be a dragon and lion dance at that time, the whole street usually has to walk for more than half an hour, today's event, crowds of people, stop and go, watch and play, there is no one or two hours, I am afraid that it will not be finished.
In the distance, I already saw the brightly lit streets, and the street was already crowded with people, Li Tang was so excited that he dragged Li Yu and ran, Doctor Li didn't have time to stop it, Mrs. Li had to stop him and said, "Okay, you just let them go, Yu'er is here, and you know the way, so don't worry about it." Dr. Li was helpless: "Let you get used to it..."
Mrs. Li squinted at him slightly, and Dr. Li had to stop talking, and Mrs. Li reached out and held him and walked slowly to the street.
Li Tang pulled Li Yu and ran to the street in one breath, leaving the second elder far behind, and stopped at the street to gasp: "Whew... Dad always has so many rules and so many words, if I go to this lantern festival with them, I would rather go back to the inn and sleep. ”
Li Yu spread his hand and knocked her on the head: "You have a big temper, and you can't control you?" Believe it or not, I told my dad to go? ”
Li Tang smiled: "Brother, brother, don't, let's go, look at it so lively, over there, someone is already guessing the lantern riddle, go and see." ”
Li Yu was helpless, and she was also diverted from her gaze, attracted by the stall that guessed the lantern riddle over there, so she had to be pulled by Li Tang and began to rampage on the road again, running to the lantern riddle stall, there were already a lot of people around, all of them were young people, rows of beautiful lanterns on the shelves, red and green, pink and white, each lantern was glued with a red note, and the riddle and the riddle were written on the paper, and the riddle was sealed on the back.
The rules of guessing lantern riddles are also the same, cast fifteen copper coins to choose a lantern to guess the riddle, guess right, the lantern is a gift, guess wrong, you will send a palm-sized hand to hold a small lantern, if you like those lanterns, you can naturally spend money to buy; Looking at the rows of large and beautiful lanterns, a group of boys and girls looked at the lanterns and riddles and were eager to try, but no one started.
At this time, a young man squeezed in from behind, holding a small round lamp in his hand, I don't know if he bought it at another stall or didn't guess it, the man looked at the colorful lanterns on the shelf, threw 15 coins into the copper basin on the table, and then raised his hand and pointed to a jade rabbit lamp in the second row of the shelf and said, "I want this." ”
The old man of the lantern stall took off the lantern and put it on the table covered with linen-colored coarse cloth, and showed everyone the mystery: a hook of crescent moon hanging in the west building. Guess the word.
The young man looked at the lantern riddle and thought: month? Hanging in the West Building? Waist?
After being silent for a while, the young man asked uncertainly, "Waist?" The old man smiled silently, shook his head slightly, the man knew that he had guessed wrong, and he was disappointed, so he silently took the small hand lamp handed over by the old man, and stood aside with his two hand lamps waiting for others to guess.
Everyone whispered, it was not that they wanted to answer, but they didn't know what they were waiting for, and after waiting for a while, they saw a little girl approaching the stall and putting the money into the copper basin, and after hearing a girl in the crowd answer: "But He?" Jiaguhe." Although it was an inquiry, the tone was very firm.
I don't know which lady it is, holding a fan to cover her mouth slightly, thinking that it is the owner of the money girl.
The old man smiled and said: "Exactly, Miss is smart, this lamp is given to Miss." The girl smiled happily and took the jade rabbit lantern and walked back to the crowd, and walked away with her young lady, leaving the man who had guessed the lantern riddle depressed in place.
Seeing that several people had guessed the lantern riddle, Li Tang couldn't help but grab Li Yu and said, "Brother, let's guess one too, right?" Li Yu thought, even if he couldn't guess, that is, to spend fifteen yuan to buy a hand lamp, so he promised her: "Okay, let's go." After speaking, he pulled Li Tang to the front of the stall, took out fifteen coins from the purse around his waist and put them into the copper basin, and said to Li Tang: "You choose!" ”
Li Tang swept around the full shelf of lanterns and pointed to a cyan koi lantern: "I want this." The old man took down the lamp, and the riddle was riddled: the sheep and the left intersected and were united in one heart. Guess the word.
Li Yu is not good at guessing riddles, looking at the riddle and making it difficult, he looked down at Li Tang, only to see Li Tang twisting his chin with his right hand, thinking about it, he suddenly raised his head, the corners of his lips smiled, and looked at the old man confidently: "Poor, dispatched." ”
The old man looked at the young man in front of him, but when he was a young student, he praised it very much: "The little boy is so talented, this lamp belongs to the little boy." Li Tang happily took the fish lamp, thanked the old man, and then pulled Li Yu forward and continued to walk.
There are lantern stalls all the way, as well as all kinds of supper, dim sum, snacks, Lantern Festival, there are many people selling Lantern Festival on the street, Li Tang happily pulled Li Yu to eat this kind of food, that kind of taste, it is not a precious thing, the picture is happy, it doesn't cost any money, fifteen-year-old Li Yu is just a big child, so he and Li Tang eat and play crazy all the way.
There is a moat in the city from north to south, which runs through the whole Chongning City, and the cross of the moat from the West Street to the East Street, and a stone arch bridge is crossed to the center of the city, which is called the Guanyu Bridge; The stone bridge is wide enough for seven or eight people in parallel, Changzhang Xu, Li Tang and Li Yu are about to arrive at the Guanyu Bridge, there is a dragon dance team on the opposite side beating gongs and drums towards the bridge, and the two are busy standing aside to watch.
The long dragon, the head has crossed the bridge, and the dragon's tail is still on the opposite side of the bridge to see the end, after the dragon walks across the bridge, the leader dances a gold-edged red hydrangea supported by a pole in his hand, the dragon chases the hydrangea in the hands of the dragon dancer to rotate and fly, sometimes open the giant mouth and fly, sometimes around the city a circle end to end, sometimes stacked into a tower, the head is high, so not mighty.
After dancing for a while, the brother and sister watched with relish, but the team continued to move forward after the performance.
I saw two big red lions, blinking big golden eyes, jumping on the bridge, the two lions turned in a circle on the bridge, playing with the hydrangea held in the hands of the leader, sometimes jumping high and biting, sometimes prone and kicking.
Just when he saw the rise, the leader suddenly threw the hydrangea in his hand and threw it towards the side of the bridgehead street, the two lions watched the hydrangea fly in front of him, both jumped up, and chased the hydrangea in the air, but the hydrangea was grabbed by one of the lions, biting in the mouth and swaying proudly, and the one who did not grab it, sat on the ground and began to roll on the ground...
The crowd of onlookers immediately burst into laughter and applauded desperately... The pair of lions played with hydrangeas on the ground for a while, and were taken away by the leader, Li Yu and the two brothers and sisters were satisfied, and saw that the lion dragon team had gone away, so they continued to walk forward, at this time, because many people followed the lion dragon team, there was no one on the bridge, and the two crossed the middle of the bridge, because the end of the bridge was inclined and sloped, Li Tang played with his heart suddenly, and rushed down from the top...
Playing up, rushing down the slope and turning the corner, but unexpectedly three people came side by side, not paying attention, and was about to pounce on the person in the middle, but fortunately a man reached out to block her shoulder, so she was able to stop.
After all, he stood firm, and he didn't hit anyone, but the man who stretched out his hand on the opposite side said with an angry face: "How did you kid walk, didn't you see someone in front of you?" Bai Shaojie thought to himself that it was fortunate that he reacted quickly enough to stop him, if he let this stinky boy hit Mei Xue, he would have to beat him half to death.
Li Tang stopped his steps and stood firmly, and then looked up at the three people in front of him, on the left stood a young man of the same age as himself, wearing a round neck red robe, a black and purple belt with gold trim around his waist, and a piece of jade in the middle of his waist.
And the man on the right who is black and angry, wearing the same round-necked robe, but with red lines on a black background, the inner collar is snow-white and neat, and the whole person looks very clean, with a black silver belt around his waist, and a jade ring hanging on the left side.
Looking at the two of them dressed, they are clearly the little sons of rich families, thinking that they are either rich or expensive, looking at the man with a black face, Li Tang couldn't help but want to laugh, and finally looked at the person who was almost hit by himself in the middle.
Delicate and delicate, wearing a light purple skirt, with a belt hidden in it, and two pink tassel pendants on her side, she was a head shorter than the man in black, looking like she was in her teens, looking at herself with a smile.
Li Tang is looking carefully, suddenly bang bang, Chongning City's Lantern Festival night sky, colorful fireworks blooming, reflected behind the beautiful lady, the girl under the fireworks, the little face is immature but the beginning of flowers, eyes are bent like the moon, eyes are like obsidian, teeth are like pearls, although it is not a country and a city, but the cherry lips are bent, the eyes are turned around, such a smile, Li Tang seems to see the blooming white lotus in the summer lotus lake, the turbid water comes out, but the ice is flawless...
Li Tang stayed in place after seeing the face of the young lady opposite, completely ignoring the angry gaze of the young man and the man opposite.
