Chapter 385: Illumination Gala
It is said that it is a lantern festival, but Cang Luochen has not seen any colored lanterns along the way, and on the contrary, there are not many pedestrians on the street.
"The lantern festival that the prince said, why don't you see the lights?"
"The lantern festival here is not a lantern festival." Yue Jun was leading Cang Luochen to continue walking, and he saw that he had arrived at the city gate.
Originally, it should be a quiet time outside the city, but at this time, I saw the light of a light in the distance.
"Why is this lantern held outside the city?" Cang Luochen asked Yue Junzheng puzzled.
The two walked all the way out of the city, and while walking, Yue Junzheng explained to Cang Luochen why he held this lantern festival outside the city.
It turns out that this is not appropriate to call it a lantern festival, but it should be called a lantern festival.
This is the time of year when the town's trade is at its most frequent, and in late summer and early autumn, many merchants from other countries come here to buy furs and local specialties, as well as bring goods unique to Shikoku to exchange and sell, which is simply like a commodity fair.
And after that, some people sold their goods and made money, and some people bought the goods they wanted, and everyone took what they needed and made a profit. The people of northern Xinjiang used to light bonfires to celebrate during celebrations, but there was no open space in the city, so they lit bonfires outside the city to celebrate all night.
Later, many other residents of the three countries participated in the festival and lit lanterns in their own ways of celebrating. A few years later, it has become a custom to hold such a lantern festival here every time of year, not only for people who have been busy for a year to have a moment of celebration and relaxation, but also to make friends and even talk about business with each other.
Cang Luochen couldn't help but smile when he heard Yue Junzheng's explanation: "The prince has only been in this city for ten days, and he understands the customs here so clearly. ”
Yue Junzheng smiled noncommittally.
Not far ahead, there was a bright light, a man-high bonfire in the center, a slightly smaller bonfire around it, and a lot of colorful lanterns of various sizes in the distance, and you could hear the jubilant voices in the distance, accompanied by the sound of drums.
"In the past, when we were in the army, when we had a big victory during the New Year's Festival, we would set up a bonfire in the army to celebrate, and at that time, regardless of military rank, everyone drank and sang together." Cang Luochen's eyes reflected firelight, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were all smiling.
"I used to just hear about it, and I wasn't afraid of your jokes, but this is the first time I've seen this bonfire celebration at night." Yue Junzheng said.
Cang Luochen listened to his words, and suddenly thought of something, she suddenly stopped and looked at Yue Junzheng: "Lord, you ...... you"
"What?" Yue Junzheng also stopped with her.
"Is this town the same as the White City?" Cang Luochen was a little unsure.
"Where's the same?"
"That's ......" Cang Luochen pondered for a while, and thought about how to say this: "Baicheng, you arranged Li Beyu, what about here?" ”
Yue Junzheng suddenly smiled: "He is not in the city now, and when he returns to the city in a few days, it will not be too late for you to get acquainted with him again." ”
"Really?!" Cang Luochen secretly said that he was really stupid, and he should have thought of this a long time ago.
Why is there suddenly so many dark guards in the city, even if you go to the surrounding towns to mobilize now, you won't be able to do it so quickly.
It turned out that he had already made arrangements in this city, and like Baicheng, he didn't know how long ago......
