Chapter 230: Lantern Festival
Although the courtyard of Fucheng is small, it is full of internal organs, and the details are perfect, and it looks exquisite and extraordinary. Bayi Middle School?? Wenwang ≤≠≥.≈ When everyone came back yesterday, it was already very late, and they were only interested in visiting the house this morning, and they were all amazed.
"When did my sister buy the yard, she actually kept it so tightly hidden, and she didn't disclose any news."
"Qingyan should be more than this house, you are a big landlord!"
Hua Biluo and Hu Baizhi's witty words of singing and harmonizing amused the big guys, Hua Qingyan shook her head and let them mess around, which made her feel more and more peaceful.
If there was no family feud, she felt that it was okay to stay in this small mountain village for the rest of her life, after all, she longed for a comfortable life in her heart.
Hua Qingyan never went out to find a job in her previous life because she was sick and weak, and her family background didn't need her to make money to support herself. She has lived in the countryside since she was a child, and she has lived an extremely comfortable life, and she enjoys this life quite a lot.
Reliving a life, but being led by the nose by all kinds of troubles, Hua Qingyan sometimes really wants to take the burden and quit, but her identity is like a knife hanging over her head, reminding her that danger exists all the time.
Looking at Hu Baizhi's carefree smiles, Hua Qingyan was really envious, she silently thought, maybe she could indulge once today and let herself devote herself to this feast.
The Lantern Festival, also known as the Shangyuan Festival, is the traditional festival of the Great Heavenly Empire, Hua Qingyan came here after the present, and the festival here is different from her previous life.
The national strength of Daqi is strong, and the entire city is decorated with all kinds of lights, and there are even people who make huge lantern wheels, lamp trees, lamp posts, etc., and the fire trees and silver flowers all over the city, which is very prosperous and lively.
Not only that, the wealthy merchants in the city also set up a stage in the square, not only singing, but also a variety of games, guessing lantern riddles, kicking shuttlecock, it can be described as varied, and the biggest prizes are not colored lanterns without exception.
Hua Qingyan stood in the market, surrounded by frolicking tourists coming and going, old people and women abounded, today there is no male and female defense, and even some men and women are looking at the right eye at this Lantern Festival, looking forward to the future only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal.
Hua Qingyan lowered her head and chuckled, and suddenly remembered a poem: "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, and the stars are like rain." ”
"Good poetry, good poetry!" Hearing Hua Qingyan's muttering, Zhou Yaonian's eyes lit up even more after chanting twice, isn't this poem just a description of the scene in front of him! Zhou Yao looked at Hua Qingyan with surprise on his face, he didn't expect Hua Qingyan to have such a knowledge, and he could actually make such elegant and popular poems! He really didn't make the wrong friend.
"Qing Yan Qing Yan, why don't we do it? Your literary talent and knowledge, I can't compare to the horse! ”
Looking at Zhou Yao's shining eyes, Hua Qingyan silently wiped her sweat. Literary knowledge or something, she is really embarrassed, that sentence, but she copied it! If the big word man knew that his words had been changed, the master didn't know if he would be so angry that he would crawl out of the ground and beat her violently.
However, Zhou Yao's proposal, she would never agree to it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a goof!
Hua Qingyan waved her hand and said, "No, you can go up and shop, there are a lot of riddles on each stall, you are a reader and you will definitely be able to guess a lot." Go, go, go. ”
Zhou Yao didn't doubt that he had him, and he was instantly attracted by the lantern riddle, but he just ran two steps and turned around and said: "Qingyan Qingyan, let's have a competition to see who can guess more!" ”
Hua Qingyan: "......"
She really didn't expect Zhou Yao to be so lively, and she was so persistent in wanting to compare with him. Hua Qingyan just wanted to refuse, but the others looked eager to try.
"Yes, yes! Let's compare! Hu Baizhi clapped her hands again and again, and her little face was full of excitement.
"Since it's a competition, you have to have a lottery!" Qing Barley smiled and said, "It's better than this, if anyone loses, how about inviting the big guy to the best restaurant for a meal?" ”
Isn't the best restaurant in Fucheng Guanlanju, that is your own territory! When everyone heard this, they immediately agreed, and rushed towards the stalls!
Because it is a festive season, both sides of the street have been occupied by a variety of vendors, not only that, but the stall owners who want to make money on weekdays are also rare to be generous today, the stalls are hung with lanterns, and there is a lantern riddle in each lantern, and everyone who answers correctly has a small gift to give, which is simply not too generous,
Hua Qingyan looked at the few people who had rushed into the pile of lantern riddles, and laughed silently. Eating a meal of Guanlanju is actually nothing to them, but it is rare to have such an opportunity, how can they let it go. But Hua Qingyan really didn't want to join in the fun. She led the two children and walked slowly, passing by the stalls that the children were interested in before stopping for a while, and she had already made up her mind to pay attention to this meal.
Hua Qingyan just bought two masks for the children, worry-free is a white-faced scholar, and the little Xi'er will actually pick a green-faced and fanged ghost, Hua Qingyan looked at the slightly terrifying mask, and pulled the corners of her mouth, so this cute little guy will like this style of things, this taste is too heavy!
"Girl, do you want to guess the riddles on our stall? If you guess five correctly, you will be given a mask. Seeing that they couldn't eat, the stall owner hurriedly suggested, and even smiled and handed out a lantern with a riddle written on it.
Hua Qingyan couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the boss, handed the child to Yu Jiamin, who had been following her for personal protection, and took the lantern to look at the riddle.
"There are no vulgar people in the world, and they are famous."
Xiao Wuwu's crisp voice made the stall owner laugh happily, and he took a string of small beads from the stall and handed it to the two children, praising him: "The little boy is so smart, he can read and write, amazing!" This is a little bit of my heart, Miss Childe will play with it. ”
Xiao Wuwu looked at the bead and didn't reach out to take it, but shook his head and said, "We don't want it, my mother said it, you can't just ask for other people's things." This is the uncle who takes money to make money, and we can't ask for it. ”
At any time, the children's words made the people around them amazed, this child looked only three years old, but he didn't expect to be so sensible, and the praise was endless for a while. Xiao Xi'er has always been shy, and buried her head in Yu Jiamin's neck socket early, but Xiao Wuwu still has a small face paralyzed, and she can't see her emotions, but the red ears reveal her thoughts.
Hua Qingyan rubbed Xiao Wuwu's head and returned the lantern to the stall owner: "Shopkeeper, is this mystery Gu Yu?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! It's Gu Yu, the girl is so knowledgeable! The stall owner praised, and then handed her another one, looking at this appearance, obviously wanting to see if Hua Qingyan could take away the grand prize from his stall.
Hua Qingyan didn't refuse, she was already idle, and she came out to play today, how happy she was.
"The lotus flower is blooming in the summer, and you can play a medicinal herb." Hua Qingyan thought for a while and smiled, "Isn't this Poria cocos." ”
The next three riddles, Hua Qingyan was like a god, all of them were answered correctly, and the surrounding spectators were extremely surprised, looking at Hua Qingyan and thinking in her heart which lady of the official eunuch family was this, she actually answered five riddles correctly in less than a quarter of an hour! True knowledge is comparable to the people in the private school!
"What a clever girl! I asked the scholars in the city to come up with this lantern riddle, but I didn't expect it to be guessed by the girl! The stall owner sighed, took out a mask from the box on the side and handed it to Hua Qingyan, "Girl, this is the color of my stall." This mask was made by my mother-in-law, but I have the best thing on the table. I don't know if the girl can look down on it, but it's also a prize, and I'm happy. ”
Although the stall owner said that the mask was worthless, Hua Qingyan liked it a lot. The mask was only half of it, and it only covered the top half of the face. But the material is special, it is actually woven with white feathers, made into a butterfly wing shape, delicate and beautiful.
The stall owner took out the mask, and there were many girls and ladies around who were amazed and a little annoyed, why didn't they guess those puzzles, this mask was so beautiful!
"Thank you, I love this mask." Hua Qingyan put on the mask as she spoke, although half of her face was covered, revealing some of the outlines was even more reverie.
Hua Qingyan took Yu Jiamin to eat and shop all the way, and soon bought a lot of things, Hua Qingyan forgot to forget the surroundings, but she didn't see a familiar figure.
"The others don't know where to go crazy, let's find a place to sit and drink a glass of water, and then go find them." Hua Qingyan proposed.
Yu Jiamin naturally had no reason to refuse, and there happened to be a tea shop opposite them. The tea shop was full of people sitting, and there were storytellers patting the shocking wood, and the emotions of the spectators rose and fell with the amazement wood.
As soon as Hua Qingyan and the four of them entered the door, a young man greeted them, and told them the situation very politely, roughly that there was no place in the lobby, but there was a private room upstairs, and asked them if they would like to sit in the private room upstairs. Hua Qingyan's original intention was to sit in the hall so that others could find it. However, considering the large number of people and the miscellaneous people, they also have two children, and they must always take care of the safety of the children. So he nodded in agreement.
The tea shop is decorated in a special way, making it look like a duplex building, with the top of the hall high up to the ceiling. On the second floor, a long corridor was built around the entire tea shop, and on the other side of the railing was a private room separated by a screen, and sitting in the private room could have a clear view of the situation in the hall downstairs.
Because it is the Lantern Festival, the entire tea shop is full of lanterns, and you can take them off when you sit on the second floor. Xiaowu introduced that there will be a lantern riddle guessing in the store every half an hour, and the objective consumption of today's guess can be free of charge. Hua Qingyan chuckled, this shopkeeper is also a businessman, so I'm afraid that the business in the store will be too busy.
Hua Qingyan and the others sat down, ordered the most famous and characteristic tea and snacks in the store, and just about to listen to the story, they heard a noise at the staircase.
"What's the matter, didn't you say there was a private room! Why not now! ”
