)

Since the day of the fight, Lin Zhenniang has never seen Liu Yuan again. Didn't she really provoke Liu Yuan, she didn't even come. Chen asked her several times, but when she didn't see Liu Yuan playing, Lin Zhenniang could only laugh and say that of course people were busy doing big business. Behind his back, it is inevitable that Liu Yuan is too stingy, and he doesn't interact like this.

However, she can't be as stingy as Liu Yuan. Liu's family, naturally she didn't dare to go. Zhiweixuan, but she deliberately looked for it, hoping to see Liu Yuan. It's a pity that although Zhiweixuan opened his doors to do business on the fifth day of the new year, Liu Yuan didn't stay in the shop.

Lin Zhenniang asked Shopkeeper Li to help with the conversation and invited Liu Yuan to go to "Qingmingju" for tea, but Liu Yuan just asked Shopkeeper Li to say, "Not recently, I'm busy, I'll talk about it later."

When Shopkeeper Li replied, his expression was normal, but Lin Zhenniang had a ghost in her heart, and she always felt that the smile on Shopkeeper Li's face had no content.

Because Liu Yuan didn't give face, Lin Zhenniang was also a little angry. Don't come, don't come to her province.

Anyway, on vacation, I simply stayed at home with my mother, teasing the puppy, playing with the crows, and by the way, teasing her little Zhengtai. I stayed at home for several days, and in a flash, it was the fifteenth day of the first month.

The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, that is, the Lantern Festival in later generations. But at this time, no one said that the Lantern Festival was called the Yuan Festival, or the Yuan Night.

This Shangyuan Festival, together with the July 15th Middle Yuan Festival and the October 15th Xia Yuan Festival, is also known as the Taoist Sanyuan Festival. It is said that the three officials in charge of these three elements are heaven, earth, and man. Because the heavenly officials in charge of Shangyuan are happy, so on the day of Shangyuan Festival, the day is the market, and the night is lit with lights, and the sky is celebrated, which is very lively.

In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the two days before and after the Shangyuan Festival were also celebrated and played. In the Song Dynasty, two more days were added after this, a Shangyuan Festival, and the lanterns would be lit up for five consecutive days, and the lights would not fall until the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. Therefore, if this Shangyuan Festival is lively, it is more cheerful than Chinese New Year's Eve.

On the night of the fifteenth, it was just dark, and Lin Zhenniang had already taken the "Zigu" sewn by herself to the corner of the backyard to put the toilet. This "Zigu" is the toilet god. In northern customs, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the toilet god should be worshipped. It is one of the few gods in the New Year that cannot be sacrificed by a man. Perhaps, it's because this toilet god is a rare goddess fairy, right? No small number of words

I heard that this toilet god was originally a rich concubine before his death, but because he was not allowed to be a big woman, he was killed in the toilet on the fifteenth day of the first month, and he was angry and turned into a toilet god. If every household does not worship the gods on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, then Zigu will worship it, which will make the family house restless.

Although I don't think this legend is true, when Lin Zhenniang sacrificed, she still secretly prayed a few words. It's better to believe it than to believe it!

And, in fact, this Zigu is also full of pity.

"From ancient times to the present, those who are little stars are pitiful." Seeing that Lin Jing was not in front of her, Lin Zhenniang whispered. These words were naturally said to Ruyu.

Hearing Lin Zhenniang's words, Ruyu pursed the corners of her mouth, but was silent.

If the jade doesn't pick up the stubble, Lin Zhenniang can't go on. Ruyu is unusual to buy cheap concubines, who are registered in the official mansion, such as other cheap concubines who can be bought and sold. Moreover, even if she is a cheap concubine, the Chen family is not so ruthless, at most she gives some money and sends it away. And Ruyu is a little embarrassed to even send it away.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a custom of "walking a hundred steps after dinner", and when a large family goes out, they do not catch a donkey cart. Lin Zhenniang pulled Chen's family, Ruyu took Lin Jing, Lin Dong followed at the end, plus a money child who was always going around at everyone's feet and always stumbling, so he went to the street.

Before he got out of the alley, he saw the Tao family next door. Xiaohua took Sister Rong and smiled at Lin Zhenniang, but she quietly pointed to the Wang family and didn't say hello.

Since Ruyu didn't know how to use the means to let the Wang family no longer come to the door, the relationship between the two families has deteriorated a lot. Although the Wang family is good at dancing with long sleeves, it seems that they don't have the heart to get together with the Lin family now, so they just nodded lightly and said goodbye.

I didn't see Ang Li, I just watched Tao Yu holding a piece of osmanthus cake and kept eating. Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but pout. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, even the daughters of everyone who usually do not go out of the gate and do not enter the second door will go to the lamp market together. On such a day, he actually let Ang Lee take care of his house - is he afraid that Ang Lee will stand by Tao Alcohol's side and immediately compare this foodie?

Some of them rolled their eyelids wickedly. Lin Zhenniang secretly laughed at Wang's family as Pan An, but she didn't know that she was actually a foodie. That's what I want, I still want to stage a drama of Shangyuan Festival, love at first sight for a beautiful woman, isn't it laughing to death?

Out of the alley, before the usual bustling street market, I saw the dazzling lights.

In this lantern market, in addition to the lanterns funded by the government, every household will hang out lanterns. This, called the race lantern, the most beautiful lamp every year will be named the "lamp king", and will be placed in the most eye-catching place for people to watch in the coming year, and the owner of the lamp king can get the ten taels of silver color head sealed by the government himself.

Therefore, from the remote streets, there began to be lanterns. If it is a small family, it is just a rabbit lamp tied with bamboo, small and exquisite, hanging obliquely under the eaves in front of the door, and it looks like it.

And in the rich house, there are lampstands hanging outside the gate, and dozens of lamps are placed in a row. Marquee lanterns, octagonal lanterns, Luohan lanterns, butterfly lanterns, blue gauze lanterns, carved beauty lamps, glass lamps, the lamps are exquisite, all beautiful, and people can't catch their eyes.

The lights on the street converge into a sea of lights, reflecting the smiling faces of tourists and reflecting the red light. Even if the girl is shy on weekdays, in this sea of lights, she is smiling, showing a side that is not usually exposed to others.

Along the way, Lin Zhenniang saw several beauties. Although the jacket on his body is also an ordinary cotton cloth, he is better than being young and beautiful, even if there is no bead on his head, just a pink yarn flower, it is enough for people to turn their eyes away.

Because of the fact that men and women of all ages will come out to enjoy the lanterns on this Shangyuan Night, there will always be some romantic stories about Shangyuan Night after the lantern market every year. Over time, this Shangyuan Eve has become "Valentine's Day". I don't know how many young girls in Huaichun hope to meet their lovers on this night. I don't know how many men deliberately wander on the street, just looking for a beautiful woman to have a romantic history.

Lin Zhenniang looked from one end of the street to the other side of the street, and on this street, young men and women accounted for most of them. There are very few families like theirs who come together.

Xu is because there are many people, and he is already a little timid to come to the money, so he has been holding Lin Jing's legs and refusing to run away after scolding. Lin Jing was happy, no matter what Lin Zhenniang called, she bent down and picked up Qian Er and hugged her tightly in her arms. He also pointed to the lamp and called Qian Er to look at it.

couldn't control Lin Jing, Lin Zhenniang simply didn't pay attention to him, and Dongbo followed behind, and she was not afraid of boring people to disturb her. She only supported Chen, walked and stopped, pointed and pointed, saying how good the lights of this house were, and then talking about where the lights of that house were not doing well. Just like that, I walked all the way to the tiles.

The tile shop on the night of Shangyuan is the most lively place. The government's lamp market is here, and last year's lamp king is also here.

Probably the people of Dingtao County are crowded here, with three layers inside and three layers outside, and they can't squeeze in at all. In the distance, only black heads can be seen.

Chen was weak, and after squeezing for a while, he couldn't stand it. Although Lin Zhenniang wanted to go in to see the lights, she couldn't ignore her mother, and greeted Dongbo, so she wanted to squeeze out and wait for them first.

Before she could take two steps, she heard someone call her. Looking back, I realized that it was Chen Shanhu. Chen Shanhu is strong, especially tonight, and he deliberately wore a sleeveless back, revealing two flower arms. Although it is not very clear under the lamp, the clusters of embroidery are very eye-catching.

Xu is because of his two flower arms, which frightened the lively crowd, and wherever Chen Shanhu was everywhere, he naturally separated from each other.

Seeing Chen Shanhu walk through the crowd and walk to her so easily, Lin Zhenniang was stunned, only to see that there were a few people behind him.

It was Shen Moting who smiled gently, Wang Qi who dragged his mother-in-law's hand, and the one who lowered his head and was silent. Come to think of it, these four, following Chen Shanhu all the way, didn't have half a point of resistance.

Seeing that Lin Zhenniang looked like she was leaving, Chen Shanhu patted his chest, "Follow my brother, I will let you go all the way unimpeded...... "Looking at the Chen family who pursed his lips and was silent, Chen Shanhu touched his head, and said a little embarrassed Auntie, I am a rough person. Don't be surprised. ”

Although Chen didn't, he immediately smiled.

If in the past, Chen Shanhu looked like a scoundrel on the street, and Chen was afraid that he would immediately avoid it. But when Lin Zhenniang's shop opened before, when Chen Shanhu went to congratulate him, the Chen family saw him defending his daughter. Therefore, it was very gentle to this young man at this time.

"Mrs. Chen, Zhenniang, ...... here" Shen Moting smiled slightly, took two steps out of the way, beckoned the Lin family and daughter to stand, and protected Lin Zhenniang behind her, as if she was afraid that someone would squeeze them.

Such gentleness and thoughtfulness are rare in the Great Song Dynasty. Lin Zhenniang couldn't help but look at Shen Moting again. No wonder so many women fall in love with Shen Moting. In addition to this handsome face, it is probably because of such a gentlemanly demeanor that is rare in the Great Song Dynasty, right? No small number of words

"A gentleman?" Shen Moting suddenly asked in a low voice.

Lin Zhenniang was stunned, only to realize that she had slipped away.

"But what do you have in common with the gentry? I've only heard of the gentry, not the gentleman......"

Lin Zhenniang laughed dryly twice, and didn't explain, only let Shen Moting understand correctly.

With Chen Shanhu opening the way, it is much easier to squeeze into it. Halfway through, Ruyu and Lin Jing were pulled again. Chen Shanhu originally wanted to invite Dongbo to join him, but Dongbo just glanced at him, and Chen Shanhu immediately shut up honestly and didn't dare to say anything more.

squeezed into the inner layer easily, and Lin Zhenniang immediately saw the headlight placed in a prominent position. It was a man-tall lantern.

The high-grade palace yarn is painted with the story of the eight immortals crossing the sea and making trouble in the East China Sea. The painting is exquisite, the characters are lifelike, and as they turn, it seems that a real person is staging a wonderful scene on the stage.

"Wow, this lamp is really big...... Lin Zhenniang sighed, her eyes staring at the lamp, almost unable to move away.

Later generations also hung lanterns, but most of them were red velvet cloth lanterns, and there were few strings of them, but there were few such exquisite handmade lanterns. Just this headlight, it won't take half a year to finish!

"It was the king of lights of the samurai family last year, and I heard that it was a famous artist from Jiangnan who was invited to do it for a full year before it was done. Last year, a boat was used to transport only this lantern. ”

Shen Moting, who was behind Lin Zhenniang, explained softly, and the warm breath sprayed on Lin Zhenniang's neck, a little itchy.

"Zhenniang, you are really beautiful tonight......"

The low voice sounded in her ears, Lin Zhenniang raised her eyebrows unconsciously, and she was a little suspicious that she had listened.

Glancing at Shen Moting, she blinked and couldn't help laughing, "Master Shen, you still have another girl!" Tease me, what a waste - besides, where am I beautiful? Isn't it the same as usual? "She didn't even wear new clothes.

"Who says it's like usual? Zhen Niang hasn't heard it, don't you skip words when you look at the beauty under the lamp. Shen Moting smiled slightly, as if he didn't hear Lin Zhenniang's first half of the words, just looked at her with a smile, and said softly Moreover, Zhenniang has always been beautiful. Although she is still young, she is already beautiful - in the past half a month, Zhenniang seems to have begun to grow up! ”

With a frown, Lin Zhenniang began to feel a little unhappy.

Are all the flowers and eyes poisonous? She has been developing since years ago. Come to think of it, these days, you will probably have your first period - you will suffer twice.

Thinking of the pain in her previous life, Lin Zhenniang felt that she had begun to feel a faint pain.

Because of this, she didn't laugh anymore, glared at Shen Moting fiercely, and snorted Master Shen from her nose, it's just a romantic person, but if it's lewd, you will be beaten. ”

"Dirty? I?! Shen Moting seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

Leaning closer, he still thought, but suddenly someone squeezed, and it was just between Shen Moting and Lin Zhenniang.

"Master Shen, you're so late. The riddles on the stage are almost guessed - don't you say that you have to compare them once, don't you skip words. A gentle voice, but with unquestionable persistence.

Lin Zhenniang raised her head, looked at the tall back in front of her, and didn't know it, so she raised her hand and rubbed her nose.

"Da Lang," Shen Moting narrowed his eyes, looked at An Ronghe, and then turned his head to look at Lin Zhenniang behind him. The smile at the corner of his mouth became a little ambiguous, "Naturally, I guessed that I lost to you last year, I don't know if I can get away with it this year." Da Lang, if I win against you, will I be allowed to win my head? ”

"What does Master Shen want?" An Ronghe's voice was faint, although with a smile, it made people feel so serious.

Because of his seriousness that seemed to be unconsciously revealed, Shen Moting didn't want to continue talking, tilted his head, thought about it, he shook his head, and said with a smile, Forget it, I still don't want to ask for this color - if you want to ask for it, I'm afraid that you will really annoy me and make me suffer......" When he said this, he didn't know what to do, but he winked at Lin Zhenniang. (To be continued.)
