Nine

As soon as I turned back to the main street, it was completely dark, but the street was very lively. Everywhere there are lights, people come and go with bright smiles on their faces, the smell of all kinds of food with warmth fills the whole street, and the laughter, shouting, and selling sound that fills it are also contaminated with this warmth, and the coldness of the city is faded, and the whole city shows a kind of lazy and hazy lightness.

Liansheng looked at the river lanterns floating in the river, looked at the lanterns hanging on the roadside with lantern riddles, and then looked at the Kong Ming lanterns dangling in the sky, and suddenly said, "Today is the Shangyuan Festival?" ”

I was also a little confused when Liansheng asked me this, "Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?" ”

Su Yi was speechless, "Today is the seventh day of the second lunar month, the blessing ceremony of Sifang City. ”

Su Yi mentioned this, and the two of us came back to their senses, a place that didn't even care much about Chinese New Year's Eve, and would not celebrate the Lantern Festival in a big way, and Liansheng once again cast an admiring gaze to Su Yi for her wisdom and wisdom.

Liansheng was admiring the progress, and the stall owner of a lantern stall next to him leaned out half of his body to greet us: "The two sons came to guess the lanterns, if you guess the interesting objects, don't you just send this fairy-like beauty next to you!" His words were vulgar, but his tone was funny, and even Su Yi couldn't help but laugh when she heard it.

Lian Sheng paced to the stall and said in his tone: "Then what kind of lanterns do you have here?" ”

The stall owner raised his head and motioned for us to look up at the two lanterns raised above our heads, and said with a smile: "There are only these two lights left in this round of guessing, and the villain hasn't had time to hang it yet!" ”

Lian Sheng smiled: "Your boss is in a hurry, and he started to solicit business before he cleaned up, so we might as well wait, you hang up first." ”

The stall owner smiled: "Childe might as well guess first, and then hang up after guessing!" ”

Liansheng smiled, took out a piece of broken silver and threw it to the stall owner, looked up at the lantern riddle, the lantern riddle cloud:

"The flowers there are not fake, but this month is not real.

You laugh and laugh, and when you cry, it cries. ”

Lian Sheng thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This is a mirror." ”

The stall owner handed over a beautiful bronze mirror with both hands, and said with a smile: "Childe is so talented, I guessed it with just such a little effort." ”

Lotus looked at another one, and the Tao was:

"In my previous life, I was in the hands of the Buddha,

Originated from Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.

Right and wrong turn yin and yang in a string,

For whom are you working hard and for whom? ”

Lian Sheng pondered for a moment and said uncertainly: "Abacus? ”

I laughed and said, "Your Buddha has an abacus in his hand every day? It must be a string of Buddha beads. ”

The stall owner smiled: "Childe is very talented." "Hand over a string of Buddhist beads.

I took the beads, which were not wood or stone, and the translucent amber color was warm.

There were three or two people passing by beside him, discussing excitedly, "The most difficult to guess lantern riddle this year has appeared, and no one can guess it all night." ”

Lian Sheng was suddenly curious, stopped and asked, "Lao Jia asked, where is this unguessable lantern riddle?" ”

One of them pointed back and said, "It's the lantern riddle hanging out of Yuheng Tower, you can see it when you walk forward, and there is a group of people!" ”

When I arrived at Deyuheng Building, I saw that there were many people gathered downstairs, or scratching their ears and cheeks, or groaning and thinking, all of them were concentrating on guessing the only lantern hanging out of the flower window on the second floor. Riddle Cloud:

"The world is thin, people are evil, and the rain sends the dusk flowers to fall. The wind is dry, and the tears are left. If you want to write about your heart, you will be oblique in your monologue. Hard, hard, hard!

People are different, today is not yesterday, and the sick soul is often like a swing. The horn is cold, and the night is dark. Afraid of people asking, crying and pretending to be happy. Hide, hide, hide! ”

This word is called "hairpin head phoenix", made by Tang Wan, a lyricist of the Song Dynasty, Tang Wan as a rare talented woman, quite sensitive, quite emotional, this word is made for answering the former lover, the lyrics soon after the end of depression, only a wisp of fragrant soul flows in the literati and ink in the word of mouth and poetry and books in the ink fragrance, but today it flows to the lantern riddle, it is really difficult to guess.

Liansheng said: "Do you think they detained the girl's soul?" ”

I said, "If they have the ability to make some riddles here, I'd rather believe that they dug up the ashes." ”

Liansheng said: "It's because you look down on them...... Letterhead? Swing? ”

"Hairpin Phoenix...... The hairpin head phoenix ......," Su Yi muttered.

"Crested hairpin!" I had a flash of inspiration and blurted out.

Upstairs, there was a gong sound, people stopped talking, and automatically dispersed to both sides, leaving only the three of us in the middle, they looked at us for a while, and looked at Yuhenglou for a while.

Soon, someone walked out of the building with a rosewood box, walked in front of me and said, "Childe is talented and sensitive, this is a mysterious thing, hope to smile." ”

I opened the wooden box, inside is a simple, ancient crested jade hairpin, I took out the jade hairpin inside and out and looked at it in front of Su Yi, said with a smile: "I don't need this, I'll give it to you." ”

Su Yi glanced at me affectionately and joked: "Oh, it turns out that you don't need it to know what you need to give it to me!" He took the jade hairpin and inserted it diagonally in his bun.

Lian Sheng's expression stiffened slightly, and he forced a smile: "Although it is not fifteen today, there are a lot of Kong Ming lanterns in the city, let's join in the fun!" ”

When I woke up to the palace, I could occasionally see the Kong Ming lantern floating up in the world, and when I was interested, I would come and see the wish written on it, even if it was naΓ―ve, it was also childish and interesting, Liansheng proposed so, and I gladly agreed.

Liansheng lit the Kong Ming lantern, and after a while, the lamp swayed and floated into the sea of lights, and he could no longer recognize which one was ours.

I retracted my gaze, rubbed my sore neck, and asked Su Yi, "What did you wish for?" ”

Su Yi was still looking at Kong Ming's lantern, and just when I thought she wouldn't answer, I heard her say, "First wish, you can find your mother; The second wish is that you no longer have a burden in your heart. What about you," Su Yi looked at me, "what wish did you make?" ”

I was about to speak, but there were screeching voices in my ears, followed by fireworks that dragged their tails into the air, but in an instant, thousands of flowers exploded, deafening, and the brilliant fireworks lit up the entire night sky.

There was a slightly pungent smell all around, so thick that Liansheng's nose was a little sour, he looked at Meisheng who was laughing in Su Yi's ear under the fireworks, and slowly closed his eyes, he didn't want to know Meisheng's wishes.
