In the evening, Wuhou City was bathed in the setting sun, and the sunset stained half of the sky red. Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wuhou City becomes lively before nightfall. Most of the ordinary people are helping the old and the young, taking to the streets. Dressed in festive costumes, the children around them are carrying all kinds of lanterns, such as sesame lamps, eggshell lamps, shavings lamps, straw lamps, fish scale lamps, chaff lamps...... Hold it in your hand and swing it to play.

The shops on both sides of the street are hung with large lanterns that glow softly red. Some of the larger shops will hold events to attract the public. Write some lantern riddles on the lantern for everyone to guess, and you will get a certain reward for guessing. Therefore, guessing lantern riddles to get prizes is also one of the main activities of these people.

And these activities are just appetizers, and the lord of the city will also have fun with the people, stand on the high tower to admire the moon with everyone, and say some high-sounding words to inspire the people. Although this event is not nutritious, it is also regarded as an honor by the citizens to be with the castle lord.

In the same way, the lord of the city will also hold some events, a large performance will be held in the center of the city, the famous song and dance workshop of the city will send beautiful women to perform songs and dances, and folk artists will also perform some juggling. Large-scale performances are held to entertain the general public. And the poetry meeting held on the bank of the Qinhuai River is for those children of the family, talented and beautiful people and other 'upper-class people'.

Playing with lanterns, guessing lantern riddles, and watching performances are activities for ordinary people. Participating in poetry meetings, drinking and admiring the moon, and appreciating osmanthus flowers are the activities of those talented and beautiful people. People of different status have different pleasures.

At this time, the excitement of the Mid-Autumn Festival has just begun. Some of the children of the big families have not yet come out, and they are all attending the old-fashioned and boring family banquets held by the family. However, because it is a festive season, family feasts are usually held very early, and in the evening, they can also come out to move freely. And the city lord will not come out until the end of the day, that is, when it enters the time.

The big guys usually come out late.

"Senior Brother Li, do you want to go out with us to put lanterns and guess lantern riddles?" When Li Changsheng was still in the room, Mo'er and Cui'er each walked in with a lantern and said to him. Little girls of their age actually prefer lively folk activities to those old-fashioned official activities.

It stands to reason that she will need to follow Bian Suwen later. Because after a while, Bian Suwen will also take Chun Yu Tiying and some strong tutors from the medical academy out to open a large booth in the city, treat people for free, and give away some health pills. But it's still early to get in, and the two of them are still very free.

"Okay. Li Changsheng nodded and said, it's better to go outside and see the excitement.

So the three of them walked out of the medical academy and came out onto the street. At this time, the streets were already crowded with people, and people were rubbing shoulders one after another. The lanterns shining in the crowd are like stars in the sky. The streets call the old and the young, and the sound of guessing orders is endless, which is very lively. During the festive season when everyone is happy, the relationship between people seems to be a lot closer.

Although cultivation is the main focus in the Book Sword Continent, cultivators are deceitful and indifferent to each other. But for the ungifted common people, it is still as simple as the commoners of all the worlds.

"Senior Brother Li, you follow us, there are too many people here, so as not to get lost. Mo'er turned around and said to Li Changsheng. Her words are not alarmist, it is not uncommon for a child of a certain family or a young lady of a certain family to get lost after a festive season in a city. However, the next day, their families will report to the city lord and let the city lord help find him.

"Okay. Li Changsheng nodded.

Mo'er and Cui'er were both born in Wuhou City since they were children, and they are very familiar with this place, and they take Li Changsheng around. And Li Changsheng is a foreigner, so he can only follow behind them. Mo'er was wearing a goose-yellow dress today, while Cui'er was wearing an emerald green dress, and neither of them was wearing the clothes of the Medical Academy, so those people only regarded them as ordinary peasant girls.

The clothes of the medical academy have an upside-down gourd pattern on them, which is very obvious, and if they wear them, I am afraid that those people will automatically give way to them, and it will not be fun. And although Li Changsheng was dressed in a scholar's uniform and carrying a long sword, he had only been in Wuhou City for two days, so there were not many people who knew him.

As for why he still carries Dayu's heavy sword at this time? Because as a swordsman cultivator, the sword never leaves his body. This is a habit of cultivators. Although ordinary people are very simple, there are few fights. But in the world of cultivators, they are ruthless and ruthless, and they still need to be careful at all times.

Accustomed to seeing the indifference between cultivators, being with the simple people at this time can make Li Changsheng not forget his original intention. This kind of not forgetting the original intention is also a kind of realm and a state of mind.

"Senior Brother Li, can you guess this lantern riddle?" Coming to a pastry shop, Mo'er and Cui'er stopped with Li Changsheng, and Mo'er pointed to a lantern and asked him. At this time, a group of people had gathered in front of the pastry shop, and everyone was guessing the riddles on the lanterns hung by the shopkeeper, and they were talking about the riddles.

The shopkeeper said that there was a pastry reward for guessing the lantern riddle. A few of them have been extinguished, which means that the riddles on the above have been guessed, so you don't need to guess anymore.

Li Changsheng took a look, and saw that the lantern was written on it: Eliminate mosquitoes, everyone has a share, shoot a plant.

"This is too simple, Li Changsheng said. To eliminate mosquitoes, the word "mosquito" will eliminate the insects, which is the word "Wen". Everyone has a share, everyone is a bamboo character, so the riddle is bamboo. ”

"Great, we had pastries again. Hearing this, Mo'er said in surprise. walked up and said to the little boy who was guarding the lantern: "I have already guessed your lantern riddle, it is Wenzhu." ”

"The girl is so talented, and your answer is the answer to the riddle. After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he extinguished the lantern with his hand, picked up a box of pastries from the desk next to him, and handed it to Mo'er.

"What a talent this girl is!"

"This girl, may I ask how your birth date is, have you ever been married?" a young man said to her in a loud voice. The festive season is also the best time for unmarried men and women to find a partner.

"I'm too lazy to bother with you. Mo'er gave him a blank look and said. After speaking, he returned to Li Changsheng with the pastry box, but he couldn't wait to open it, took out an osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Senior Brother Li, Cui'er, this pastry is really sweet, you can also taste it......"

"Okay!" Cui'er was also excited, and took out a pastry and ate it.

"I don't like very sweet food. However, Li Changsheng shook his head and did not eat.

"Senior Brother Li, there are still a few riddles, you can guess one more. Mo'er said to Li Changsheng while eating.

"Isn't a box of pastries enough for you to eat?" Li Changsheng said with a smile.

"There's enough for the two of us to eat in a box, and neither of us had anything to eat when we came out. Mo'er said. There aren't actually many pastries in a box, only four or five, but they are all high-quality, no wonder they all like them.

"You two don't even eat dinner, you want to eat all-you-can-eat pastries. Li Changsheng smiled in surprise and said, "Okay, then I'll guess one more." ”

Li Changsheng looked at another lantern again, and saw that the lantern read: Birds are singing among the trees by the lake, shoot the name of a place. "This lantern riddle is also very simple, the same word breaking game. Li Changsheng said: "Lakeside is the radical of the word lake, the water department. Between the trees, that is, in the middle of the tree word, is another word. Shuijia is another Chinese character. The birds chirping, the birds flying away, it is a verbal word, so the riddle is Hankou. ”

"Senior Brother Li, you are really amazing. Mo'er couldn't help but shout, turned back to Cui'er and said, "Cui'er, this time you go up to receive the prize." Li Changsheng would definitely not go up to receive the prize in person, and Mo'er was afraid that the prince just now would ask her if she had been married, so he asked Cui'er to go up.

"Okay. Cui'er was also very excited, walked forward, and said to the shopkeeper: "I also guessed the lantern riddle, and the riddle is Hankou." ”

"The girl is really smart, and that's exactly what the mystery is. After saying that, he put out another lamp, took out a box of pastries and handed it to Cui'er.

"Another bright girl, here today, we men have lost face. Seeing Cui'er go up to receive the award, the onlookers talked again.

"I don't know the girl's name, but have you ever been married?" It was the son just now, who stepped forward to give Cui'er a salute and asked very politely.

"Ah, you're again?" exclaimed Cui'er.

Li Changsheng turned his head to look, and saw that this son was wearing a shabby scholar's uniform, probably born a little cold, in terms of cultivation, he was not even a child. He was about twenty or thirty years old, and he had a sour smell all over his body. There are very few scholar cultivators in the Book Sword Continent, not many can achieve the Book Spirit, and even fewer can join the Seven Great Academies. He probably belongs to the kind of person who has studied since he was a child, but he can't read.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you. Cui'er said.

"It's really annoying that this person actually asks if he has ever been married. Cui'er returned to Li Changsheng and said. "Leave him alone, let's see what's in the box. ”

I couldn't wait to open it and found that there were actually a few glutinous rice cakes inside, and the taste was different from the osmanthus cake just now. The rewards of the shop are all different, guess different riddles, and you can eat different pastries.

"Senior Brother Li, this glutinous rice cake tastes very good, and it's not very sweet and greasy, don't you want to eat it?" asked Mo'er.

"I don't like this either, anyway, I don't like pastries. Eat it yourself. Li Changsheng shook his head.

"Senior Brother Li doesn't eat it, then we'll eat it. The two girls were not polite and directly divided the glutinous rice cakes. (To be continued.) )
