"It's really hilarious. Wang Feiyi nodded, stretched out his hand and yawned on his mouth, and said, "Senior Brother Huo, Senior Brother Ye, let's hurry up and go to the other courtyard of Tianfeng City!

"That's good! go to the place first, rest and rest!" Ye Qingchou pulled the reins and nodded.

"Indeed, if you don't put things down first, it's not easy to go shopping later!" Huo Qinglong still had curiosity in his eyes, as if he wanted to take a closer look.

Seeing that everyone agreed, Wang Feiyu asked people how to go, and then pondered the draft of his novel in his heart, while leading the horse and the two senior brothers to walk forward together. It's not that he doesn't want to ride a horse, but there are too many pedestrians on the street at this time, and several carriages are blocked! Speaking of which, although the newly acquired 'personal memory' deduction ability is not weak, it is also at the cost of slowing down the deduction of martial arts in order to help Wang Feifei deduce novels, so he prefers to ponder and write by himself. Personal memory can't collect external information to help Wang Feifei correct errors, and it is necessary to check it again.

"Wang Feisui, when you arrive in this capital, what does the master want you to do?" Seeing that there was still time on the road, Ye Qingchou simply asked about Wang Fei's training mission.

"Yawn!Senior Brother Ye, I don't know, now I can only wait!" Wang Feiyu said and yawned again.

"Wait?"

"Yes, Master made it clear at the beginning that I only need to rush to the capital before this autumn, and the rest is to wait, and then someone will naturally come to me. ”

"Before autumn?" Huo Qinglong on the side touched his chin when he heard Wang Feiyi say this, "Since there is still time, let's take a good look around the capital first and have fun for a few days, how about it?"

"There's nothing to do in the capital, and there are too many dignitaries, and I still have some things to do recently. When Ye Qingchou spoke, he was a little listless.

"What's the matter?, Ye Qingchou, if you come here, you don't want to hide if you don't show us the way! If you are defeated, you don't want to be happy?" Huo Qinglong said and turned his head to look at Wang Feiyu.

"Senior brother, I have a lot to write recently, and I don't really want to go shopping! yawn!" Wang Feiyu felt that his brain was a little tired at this time, so he simply put down the matter of the novel, and he decided to take a bath and sleep when he arrived in the other courtyard.

"You-" Huo Qinglong pointed at Wang Fei, and then looked at Ye Qingchou, "It's hard to come to the capital, you have this attitude?"

"Senior brother, even if we want to go shopping, we are very tired all the way, you might as well rest, you might as well rest, and then come out!" Although Wang Feiyu also had the idea of shopping in his heart, it only took an hour or two to walk, as for Huo Qinglong said that he was playing for a few days in a row, he was really not interested, especially the novel himself added too much weight to his task, plus martial arts and medical skills, he really didn't have much time to go shopping.

Hearing Wang Feifei say this, Huo Qinglong had no choice but to put aside the matter of shopping for the time being, but when Wang Feifei said this, he somehow remembered the person who was regarded as a tonic, "I said Ye Qingchou, when we left that Songtian City, what did you do with that returnee, I forgot to ask when I was on the road?"

"Don't worry, I've already asked Elder Huo Dragonfly from your other courtyard to help me send people back. ”

"Sent back, sent there?"

He committed a crime in his own sect, and of course he had to be sent back to the sect to get a favor. Ye Qingchou said but remembered the situation when he handed over the severed human head to Huo Dragonfly, to be honest, on such a hot day, it was still quite troublesome to put a person's head in a wooden box.

"I said, if you send people out, will it expose our affairs?" Huo Qinglong continued to ask as he walked.

"Don't worry! It's just that he won't recognize us yet, not to mention that he can't speak now!" Hearing Ye Qingchou say this, Huo Qinglong nodded, but he didn't care about the meaning of Ye Qingchou's words, he was still relieved to leave this matter to Ye Qingchou to deal with, and he just wanted to find another topic when he said this! I don't know why, although he knew that the fifth pure tone might be in the capital, he couldn't raise the interest of seeing her, and he always had the scene before leaving Youzhou in his mind......

"I said that since you don't go shopping, at least you have to try this food, right? There are a lot of people sleeping in the open along the way, Ye Qingchou, you introduce one, we have to eat something good these days. Looking at the food stalls that kept appearing on the side of the road, Huo Qinglong only felt that his taste buds were secreting strongly.

"Shall we eat? Let's go to the separate courtyard of the Heavenly Closure City first, put down all these salutes, and rest for a while. I'll take you to the 'Long Food Street', where there is a very good restaurant and a lot of snacks on the way. ”

"Okay!" Huo Qinglong listened to Wang Feiyu next to him yawn again, and nodded.

When they arrived at the Tianfeng Courtyard, after arranging a place to live, the three of them went to take a bath in the hot spring of the Courtyard together, and slept well under the drive of Wang Feixuan.

At this time, the sky was already dark, but the street was brightly lit, and people came and went, rubbing shoulders, and each one carrying small lanterns of different sizes and shapes in their hands, walking on the street. They gather together to be a long dragon gathered by the lights, this dragon winds and circles, occupies every street to the full, and the Milky Way in the sky reflects each other! Look up and see that under the eaves above are also lanterns, especially those high-rise buildings between three and five floors, under the scattered eaves, there is more than one lantern hung, the rich people are long dragon-shaped, big elephants, flying phoenixes and other kinds of lanterns, but more are red, yellow, white, cute round lanterns.

"The lights are brilliant, I said Ye Qingchou is it a festival today! Why are there so many lights?" Huo Qinglong looked at the dense and colorful lanterns in front of him, a little surprised, he didn't pay attention when he entered the city during the day, he didn't expect the scenery at night to be so beautiful.

"Festival?" Ye Qingchou patted his head lightly, "How could I forget this! Today is a unique festival in this Yanhua capital, called the Lantern Festival." ”

"What does the Lantern Festival mean?" Huo Qinglong asked as he looked at Ye Qingchou.

"It is said that in the past, when Yanhua Capital was not the capital, here is the world's largest candle, lantern production area, in order to attract businessmen, the local craftsmen will take out all their craftsmanship to make on the street, show their skills to the merchants who come and go, it is said that they also set a date, every year specially used to select the most can make lanterns, candles expert, is every year today. ”

"Then today is also the day to choose a craftsman?" Huo Qinglong was a little excited when he heard the draft of a craftsman, and wanted to go and see it immediately.

"It's been a long time since you chose?" Ye Qingchou shook his head and poured a basin of cold water contained in the words on Huo Qing's faucet.

"Why?" Huo Qinglong was puzzled.

"I heard that it was more than 100 years ago, when the country was in a great drought, it was the Lantern Festival, and someone wrote to the Son of Heaven that the Lantern Festival was a strange trick and a suspicion of losing his mind, so he provoked the anger of the sky, and if you want to eliminate it, you have to change the selection of craftsmen to the selection of talents!"

"Who said that?" Huo Qinglong knew that he was making a joke as soon as he said it, so he changed the topic and said, "Then what else is there besides lanterns now?"

"Write poems, be a pair! Choosing a talented person is naturally a pair of poems, and the vassal is elegant!" Ye Qingchou said, unconsciously with a hint of ridicule in his words.

"That's not the same as the Mid-Autumn Festival! What's the point?" Huo Qinglong thought back to the Mid-Autumn Festival in previous years, and suddenly he didn't have a lot of interest, but thinking that this was the capital after all, and the scale was larger, he still decided to take a good look.

"It's really not interesting, so the biggest feature of this festival now is that in addition to the lanterns, it's eaten!" Ye Qingchou said but unconsciously thought of someone, and I don't know if she hasn't seen her in the past few years, is she doing well?

"Then, are the craftsmen who made lanterns still there?" Wang Feifu was more interested in these craftsmen who made lanterns.

"It's still there, but it's all hard work now. ”

"Senior Brother Ye, I don't understand what you mean by this, how do you call it a coolie?"

"Non-defeated, do you know who is providing the lanterns on this street after the competition of craftsmen?"

"Don't know?" Wang Feiyu shook his head.

"Okay! Ye Qingchou, don't sell it! Hurry up and say, I'll listen to it too. Huo Qinglong on the side waved his hand a little impatiently.

"The eaves hanging on the eaves near the city are all from the royal workshop, and the ones in the hands of these people are from the Confucian family. ”

"Da Ru, what are you doing making lanterns?" Huo Qinglong didn't quite understand.

"Don't you see the poems on the lantern? Half of the profit from the lantern in each person's hand is used to support the students of the country. Ye Qingchou said and pointed to the lanterns in front of him.

"What about the other half?" Wang Feiyu looked at it, and sure enough, there were a lot of small words written on the lanterns.

"Naturally, it has become the foundation of the Confucian family!

"Then why didn't the royal family also make the lanterns carried by these people?" In Wang Feiyu's opinion, this benefit royal should not be taken lightly!

"This is called not competing with the people, if it is done by the royal family, then what do you think the literati of later generations will say? It is this tributary matter, and the literati of all dynasties are scolding, thinking that it is robbing the people's interests, let alone others. Ye Qingchou shook his fan as he spoke, and then said: "At the beginning, the lanterns used by this group of people were still made by craftsmen, but later some people said that since it is a selection of talents, there should be an atmosphere of selecting talents, and the lanterns should be separated from the magic and obscenity to become the vehicle of inheritance and cultural transport, and then I don't know how to do it, after ten years, there will be no more craftsman shops!"

"Then Senior Brother Ye, what else can this Confucian family say besides being Confucian for generations, buying and selling lanterns?"
