Chapter 289: Lantern Festival
For a day, Chu Yan spent time in the hustle and bustle, and the liveliness of the entire royal capital was not comparable to that of Red Dragon City.
On the horizon, the sun gradually set in the western mountains, and turned to the other side of the sky, the white full moon and the blood-red crescent moon rose at the same time, and began to emit a hazy halo.
At night, the lights are always bright, every household lights up the lamp in front of the door, the golden halo swayes in all directions, and the entire royal capital is even more vibrant!
The Lantern Festival, one of the most important festivals of the dynasty.
Moreover, this festival was handed down by the dynasty a long time ago, and to this day, people have not abandoned this ancient festival.
Good habits have created the grand occasion of today's Lantern Festival, and every Lantern Festival, the lights of this night will continue until the next morning, and those lights will be extinguished.
On both sides of the street, there are plenty of stalls in their own right, and now there are more!
Obviously, the night of the Lantern Festival is much more lively than the day.
Occasionally, I can see some children, wearing new clothes, bouncing around the streets, looking very cheerful and free, children are so good, they are not yet bound by the world.
"The lantern is a penny, come and take a look!"
"Today is a good day to make a wish, you must not miss such a day!"
"The annual Lantern Festival is also a big day for every family member, and in the past, the Lantern Emperor would travel down from the clouds to fulfill people's wishes. ”
“......”
All kinds of sounds spread far away, and the vast majority of people on the street were carrying a lantern, and the halo emitted by them dispelled the darkness of the night!
If you look down from above at this time, it is definitely a very magnificent picture.
Lantern Festival ......
With a smile on his face, Chu Yan raised his head and looked up at the sky, and could clearly see that the originally dim sky, except for the two moons hanging in the sky!
Slowly, one by one, the lit Kong Ming lanterns were put into the sky, and a little bit of golden light rose from the horizon.
Thousands of lanterns were put into the sky.
The flames rose and burned.
"It's beautiful!"
Some girls are dressed in gorgeous clothes, their beautiful eyes look at the distant sky, the golden halo swaying their faces, their skin is like jade, and they are even more moving.
The sky of the entire royal capital is full of lanterns, and the lanterns flying to the edge of the sky are made countless wishes, although they are useless, but they are indeed the sustenance of people's hopes.
"What is your wish?"
"When I grow up, I want to be as strong as my father!"
"What about yours?"
"I hope to enter the Royal Capital Imperial Academy to learn the Immortal Law and become an Immortal!"
"Then your wish is really not an ordinary wish, before that, you have to work harder, this kind of wish is not so easy to achieve!"
The sound of conversation lingered in Chu Yan's ears!
Just when Chu Yan walked to a lake full of lotus lanterns, some conversations aroused Chu Yan's interest.
"Hey, I heard that there is a masquerade meeting held by the riverside, do you want to go and see it?"
"Masquerade? What is that? Lantern Festival masquerade?"
"It's not, it's said that some of the daughters of the family have already appeared in the masquerade, if you can hook up with some daughters, you can spend a good night with them, hehe......"
"Come on, don't look at your own virtue!"
"According to rumors, Jiang Ziling is here!"
"No, Goddess Jiang has appeared, take me to see it!"
The crowd carrying lanterns turned in an instant, and a group of people rushed towards a wind direction.
"Masquerade?" Chu Yan whispered, glancing at the sky, it was still early, but he couldn't help but go and see this so-called "masquerade party"!
With a puzzled look, Chu Yan took steps and followed the crowd.
Soon, Chu Yan came to a huge pavilion by the river, and the river was rippling, which was a relatively spacious place.
In the middle of the pavilion, the size of a football field, the stone chairs are set aside for resting on weekdays!
At this moment, the entire small pavilion is surrounded by people.
It was a bustling crowd, mostly young men and women, and a few children, who also cheered.
"Brother Tai, do you want to buy a mask!" A voice sounded in Chu Yan's ears, carrying a wooden shelf full of masks, a man stood beside Chu Yan and asked.
On the wooden shelves, masks of various colors are hung, and the styles are completely different, some cover the left half of the face, some cover the upper part of the face, and some cover the mouth......
"Masks!"
Chu Yan glanced at the small pavilion next to him, and could see that the men and women standing in the small pavilion were all covering their faces, making it impossible to see them completely.
Masquerade, at this moment, Chu Yan knew the meaning of the masquerade, mainly not to show his true face, so that he could do something that he usually didn't dare to do regardless of his identity.
That is...... Give people a place to relax.
"Bring me one!" Chu Yan casually smoothed a red mask, the appearance of a demon, very hideous!
"Uh......"
The boss immediately explained: "Passenger transport, this mask is the toy of that bastard boy in my family, wearing this kind of mask, appearing on this occasion, it is very inappropriate, and it is too eye-catching, do you want to consider buying another one?"
On this occasion, half of the face is basically covered, even if you can't see the whole picture, you can basically see a person's beauty and ugliness when you look halfway, isn't this what these men and women love?
You're wearing a full-cover devil's mask, isn't that meant to be funny?
"Is there anything exquisite?" Chu Yan asked.
"Objective, you're from outside the city!"
The boss explained: "The masquerade, as the name suggests, is an activity with a mask, it is a rule left by an emperor ten thousand years ago, it is said that the Immortal Emperor Chu Yun met the woman he loved most in his life here, and at that time the woman was wearing a mask, covering the upper part of her face!"
So if you want to go to a masquerade, you only need to bring half of your mask!
In order to commemorate his acquaintance with his wife, the Immortal Emperor Chu Yun held the first masquerade dance party here.
In recent years, we have called the masquerade ball, the marriage conference, a prosperous marriage, everything is just based on fate, just like the previous immortal emperor, who can't see all the faces of the other party, and only relies on feelings to decide their lover. ”
The red devil mask is indeed not quite suitable, both in the traditional and real sense
However, Chu Yan was shocked, he didn't expect that this tradition was still left by the original owner of his body.
Did he and Chu Linyu meet here?
