A few little ladies are young and vigorous and not afraid of the wind and cold, the three of them will share an open-walled car, only hanging down on all sides and slightly separated by a slight partition, which is also the Lantern Festival during the aristocratic women's favorite means of transportation to tour the street, since it is more convenient to visit the street lamp, experience the moonlight lamp mountain full of imperial capital, incense car treasure cover the flowers of the pass.

Jin Xiaomei is to tour the street, and is not in a hurry to rush to the lamp tower, as soon as she gets in the car, she unceremoniously "occupies" the left position, the two sisters don't care about her, Eleven Niang doesn't even have much interest in the street, and the other side of the position is Qian to Jiuniang, and she herself squeezes in the middle.

Liu Shiyi took the lead, a pair of eyes looked left and right, busy searching for beautiful women in the crowd, the annual Shangyuan Festival, many beauties in Pingkangfang will also "close" to enjoy the lanterns, there are also a lot of geisha everyone, today will also form a group to perform at the Lantern Festival, and there are only the famous palace prostitutes who have only heard of the big names in the past, and will also dance in the lantern booths on both sides of the Heavenly Street. Feasting your eyes is also a bonus.

There are also thousands of empty alleys today, almost all the women in Kyoto gather for the lantern festival, and there is no shortage of beautiful women in the cloth clothes, which is really a good time to have an affair.

Fortunately, the three of them did not rely on the escort of this little uncle, and there were many soldiers and families guarding the car they were riding in and around, and they were not afraid of accidental collisions.

"Eleventh sister, guess why Ah Jin is in a hurry to parade the streets?" Jiu Niang suddenly asked.

At this time, the sky is still bright, not the best time to enjoy the lantern festival, although Liu Xiaomei is two years younger than the eleventh mother, the old age has been allowed by Mrs. Tai, to the lantern tower to enjoy the grand scene of the Shangyuan Festival, the lantern will not be so curious, and even can't wait for the family banquet to disperse, Xue Hui and Wei Miao, the two sisters-in-law together, can't wait to jump the two sisters out.

"I can't guess." Eleven Niang watched Liu Xiaojin's eyes widen and just watched the crowd, and after getting into the car, she looked focused without saying a word, smiled and shook her head.

"This nerd, since the old year went to the lantern tower for a night drink, he made a grand wish, to paint a picture of the Lantern Festival, but because she is young, and playful, the eldest mother is not worried about her in the old years, she always feels that the observation is limited and one-sided, and she has to see the grand occasion today, in order to draw a fine picture." Jiu Niang unveiled the mystery: "The city is only full of strange lanterns, a hundred juggling, even if there are ten pairs of eyes, you can't see it, let alone see it in the brush, even everyone like the eleventh sister, I'm afraid that it is rare to have such a masterpiece in my life." ”

It's not that Jiuniang deliberately belittled and ridiculed Liu Xiaojin, it's that the little sister is really cute, if it were a few years ago, she would never have thought that the rude little sister would grow into a learning idiot, except for the piano, chess, poetry and painting, everything is ignored, and Bai Ji has made great contributions.

"Although it is a grand wish, it is rare for Ah Jin to have this self-confidence, and he also knows that he must observe carefully before painting, and not just imagination, which is already good." Eleven Niang encouraged Liu Xiaomei to become a school idiot, instead of being like Yao Ji, Chu Xin planned to harm others.

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have allowed her to come to the streets." Jiuniang said this, but she heard the little sister shouting to stop.

It turned out that Liu Xiaomei was suddenly on the long street, looking at a rare mountain shed, not more than the surrounding lights are bright and golden, but there is a hanging waterfall falling, as if natural, Liu Xiaomei was surprised, I don't know how this waterfall was born on the heavenly street.

I wanted to go close to observe, but Eleven Niang hurriedly stopped: "You look closely, it's hard to see the trick, I know a little bit about it, it's to use a roller to winch the water on the roof of the shed, put it in a huge cabinet, open the water outlet regularly, and let the water flow down." ”

Liu Xiaomei was amazed, her fingers were already sketching, obviously in the Lantern Festival scroll in her mind, there would be this artificial waterfall.

Further ahead, I saw a few lantern sheds, but it was not like those horses and riding figures, spinning like flying lanterns, nor was it a five-color bead net, a bead lamp with long hanging tassels, not painting dragon boats and phoenixes, and stories of the towers, different arrowheads and delicate, five-color makeup and dyeing, but it was painted with many characters carrying locks and flails, as well as scenes such as whipping and cane scalling, and there were also torture instruments displayed under the lamp, which were very different from the pearls and brocade feathers around them, showing off their gorgeousness.

Liu Xiaomei took a deep breath: "Why are the paintings on these lamps so terrifying? ”

Shi Niang asked her to look at the other side: "Have you seen those prisoners held by the forbidden army?" ”

It was originally on the side of the long street, under the light of the giant candles, the ironclad forbidden army escorted a column of prisoners to kneel on the ground, and there were banners behind the prisoners, stating the crimes, or for the incompatibility of snatching hairpin rings, or for the abduction of women, or for the abduction of children, and so on.

"These lamps and lanterns are listed by the criminal prison institutions, intended to deter lawlessness, every year on the Yuan Festival, happy to the day, it is always difficult to avoid that there will be bad people to take advantage of the law, or rob property, or abduct children, only these prisoners at the scene, in fact, are not the crime written by the book, most of them are dressed as prisoners in prison, intended to remind the public to be careful, not because of playfulness, then go to a secluded place with few people, but also to take care of children, to avoid getting lost and abducted."

So that's the case, Liu Xiaomei bowed her head again and again, and was attracted by a crystal clear boneless lamp, this lamp is made of crystal, round like a ball, in thousands of purples and thousands of reds, transparent than frost and snow, especially eye-catching.

Liu Xiaomei was breathtaking, although the road was long, she was reluctant to blink her eyes, approaching the Mingde Gate, the sky finally got dark, Liu Xiaomei looked back, but saw that the long road was getting more and more bright, so she didn't feel happy, and she wanted to return the same way.

Or eleven Niang reminded: "Just look at this heavenly street, although prosperous, but lose the joy of the market, it is better to take the side of the road, along the west market and then to the east, to the calyx downstairs, just to see the monarch and the people together, today because the queen mother ordered to set up a banquet calyx building, along the street there is a golden beating wine, so that the hundred officials and clans persuade the people to drink the wine, more lively." ”

Liu Xiaomei longed for it when she heard it, and she agreed again and again.

Southwest to north, first is the common people's residence, this day is also the lights of every house, orchestra everywhere, there are huge lantern sheds outside the door, the people gather in the next step to sing and dance, there is also a shadow puppet theater, not more than all kinds of lanterns on the street of heaven, the side of the square road is more juggling, there are singing and dancing artists performing puppets, pestle songs, bamboo horses and the like along the street, you can see everywhere the jugglers who step on the stilts hairpin flowers and apply grease and powder, and even the sumo wrestlers who are shirtless and open-chested on the cold day.

Most of the lights on this road are small, or hanging on the wall of the workshop, or carrying them in the hands of people, and there are also more stalls selling all kinds of food, using light boxes to attract customers, and many ingenious ideas.

When he arrived in the West Market, Uncle Liu did not wait for the nieces to ask for the consciously led the team to enter from the Nanfang Gate, only to see a beautiful orchid in front of the major wine shops, or dancing Hu Xuan, or holding the pipa, and some simply seduced passers-by with wine cups, Uncle Liu relied on strong self-control, and finally did not leave a few nieces, and was abducted halfway, but when he went out from the Beifang Gate, he left a long sigh.

Finally arrived at the calyx downstairs, compared to other places, here is more crowded, there are several major ministers led downstairs to persuade the onlookers to watch a few rounds of gold and wine, the officials have been persuaded to drink, the common people can only today and the aristocratic officials exchange festivals, and there is the opportunity to receive the special New Year's coins of the imperial court, how can they not come to the call?

Of course, Eleven Niang and others were not interested in joining in the excitement, only looking for a slightly open place separated by Zhu Zhu, and looked at the grand occasion from afar, but they didn't want to meet Liu Zhang, Liu Bin and the brothers and Ting, it turned out that Liu Junyi was with Xie Rao Ping to pay tribute to the people, and then he found a way to go back to his own lamp building, there was this elder in charge of the overall situation, Xue Hui and Wei Miao's two daughters-in-law assisted, and the younger generations were completely unrestrained, Liu Zhang pulled Liu Bin to find Jiuniang and the three of them, but Ting was persuaded by Xue Hui to come together to play and relax, I really met outside Xingqing Palace.

"Why don't you go to the East Market again?" Liu Xiaojin, who was still unsatisfied, was not happy to go back to the lighthouse so early, sitting there and admiring the hustle and bustle, she was more eager to be in the hustle and bustle, rather than for others to admire.

Liu Chang and Liu Bin also wanted to play around, so they hit it off.

Uncle Liu saw that a few "oil bottles" had finally been taken over, and he was happy to be free, and pretended to tell the juniors a few words, and then went to the Orchid Restaurant in Xishi to have fun.

There are not so many orchid restaurants in the East Market, and there are more concentrated elegant operas here, and it goes without saying that there are stands in front of the major wine shops, and many geisha are invited to play and sing poetry, which attracts a lot of literati, and bet on whose poems are more sung by the beauties, and some people take advantage of the excitement to recite new works, maybe there is that luck to be chosen by the beauties, and they are sung in public, and become famous overnight.

There are also dancers, either spontaneous or invited, and the geisha of the Great Zhou have always been very self-satisfied.

The more elegant ones are like sand books, which are hand-plucked fine sand and swayed into words, which also attracted many onlookers.

Shi Niang and her entourage were attracted by a "good play", got out of the car to watch, didn't listen to a few words, but heard a greeting, and when they looked back, it turned out to be Xu Xiuneng...... It's really a place in life where we don't meet.

He Ye also said that this Lantern Festival is simply boring for him, as one of the auxiliary kings, today he was not only forced by the Queen Mother to go to the Calyx Building to accompany the drink, but also by Xie Ying "blackmailed", forcing him to agree to the palace banquet after the dispersal of the lantern market, He Ye did not wait for the palace banquet to disperse, he found an excuse to slip away halfway, but for a while he didn't know how to dismiss - His Royal Highness the King of Jin, who was worried about the country and the people, really had no intention of appreciating, but was more willing to find a quiet place to read, or have a long talk with Lu Li, He Zhan, etc., but today Lu Li, He Zhan was with the banquet calyx building, and even Shao Guang was arrested to accompany him to drink, he must not be able to accompany His Royal Highness the King of Jin, go back to read, this is too inconsistent with his consistent behavior, thinking that since he can't miss the appointment, he will simply kill the lantern tower of Xie Xiang's mansion and meet Xie Ying in advance.

Xie Ying, this girl, had already jumped into her brother to take her on a tour of the street, and had been waiting for the time to make an appointment with King Jin, who knew that she was invited by He Ye in advance, which made the grandmother and mother make a fuss, full of etiquette and restraint, and did not let Xie Ying and He Ye go out without permission.

Xie Ying was anxious, and stomped her feet: "The eldest father knows that I am planning to build a corner field with King Jin, isn't there no objection?" It's not once or twice that I'm in a private relationship with King Jin, it's worth making such a fuss? Today's Lantern Festival, just an invitation to parade the streets, the streets are full of joy, men and women are confused, but we have to be bound by the rules of etiquette, His Royal Highness knows that I have always been not so rigid, if this time if I am rejected, I will be annoyed and angry, if His Royal Highness makes a fuss, the eldest mother and the grandmother can withstand it? ”

Taking advantage of the fact that Mrs. Wei was stunned, Xie Ying simply pulled King Jin and left......

Mrs. Wei, who came back to her senses easily, hurriedly asked her eldest grandson Xie Jing to catch up with her peers, rubbing her chest and tears of anger: "Wei Haichi's poisonous woman, I don't know what medicine I gave Ying'er, I have a granddaughter, and I was instigated by her to be so willful!" ”

Mrs. Xiao Wei was first angry with her daughter, and then she was frightened by her mother-in-law's words, and she was so anxious that her head was full of sweat on a cold day, and she hurriedly comforted her mother-in-law, and she sighed again and again.

He Ye is destined to be a short-lived ghost, but her daughter is obsessed, and she seems to recognize this person, how should this be born, she can't watch her only daughter jump into the fire pit!
