Yangzhou is known as the city of flowers and the reputation of the city of poetry, which has something to do with the emperor's love for peach blossoms and widely planted in Yangzhou, of course, in addition to those endless coquettish characters and scenery, there is another reason that has won so much reputation here, that is, the lantern festival is full of lanterns.

At the end of March and the beginning of April, it is a day when there are wonderful love legends, and it is also designated as the day when the annual lantern festival is held.

This lantern festival is no less than the Spring Festival of the people of Yangzhou City, this lantern festival is also a unique style here, according to the practice of the government, this day will not be limited to the flow of people, many times there are any policies of the state government to benefit the people, and it will also be distributed today.

Tonight, the huge city of Yangzhou is already beautiful, and this lantern festival is even more beautiful and spectacular than words and words.

Xu Ping'an only felt that he had suddenly broken into the world of fairy tales and fairy tales, and the ancient city of Yangzhou, which was originally gorgeous and unparalleled, was decorated with countless lanterns like a heavenly palace, which was so beautiful that it was intoxicating and obsessive.

How many talented and beautiful women rowed across the West Lake by boat, bursts of wonderful music sounded, adding to the poetry and painting of the world, and those customs in the orchid wine shop pushed the happiness of men to the extreme.

Countless people put small lanterns on both sides of the West Lake, let them go with the flow, and sincerely make a wish, hoping that everything can come true.

Xu Ping'an, Yu Youwei, Li Ji, Xiaoying and five children mixed in the crowd of Yangzhou people, walked by the West Lake, and enjoyed a good time What is heaven and earth!

It's indescribably beautiful.

Li Ji's tongue was knotted, like a country man who had never seen the world, and muttered: "Childe, what a splendid lantern, what kind of hand can be so ingenious!"

He pointed to an embroidered lantern three meters wide on the side of the road, which looked so delicate that even the halo was multi-colored.

At this time, several children held hands and looked east and west, their little faces were flushed, and they were happy to the extreme, if it weren't for Chen Sheng holding a stick to guard, I am afraid that they would really be abducted and trafficked.

"Youwei's show is not inferior to this lantern maker. Xu Ping'an saw the stitches and praised Yu Youwei with a smile.

Yu Youwei is not an ordinary woman, she immediately glanced at him, and said, "That's not it! Along the way, how many orchids and Qingqi people are flattering at you, and even the ladies on those small boats in the West Lake have looked at you three more times." ”

"Most of this enjoyment depends on the robes I sew, and the Spring and Autumn Knife, you have to treat Mrs. Ben well. ”

"How do you treat?" said Xu Ping'an.

"Didn't you promise the demon a few girls to buy clay figurines?"

"I want to buy it too, and I want to buy the best step-shake golden hairpin and rouge gouache, nothing less, don't think that Mrs. Ben has forgotten!" Yu Youwei said with a smile, her cheeks were full of colors reflected by the lanterns, and she was so beautiful.

Xu Ping'an spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Do you think I look like a person with a silver ticket?"

In fact, Li Ji was already holding a large bamboo basket in his hand, which was already full of all kinds of strange gadgets and food, all of which were bought by four girls.

These things alone made Xu Ping'an penniless, and he was even more shocked by the golden hairpin that Yu Youwei said.

"No, look where!"

Yu Youwei held him with one hand, and pointed to the place where the crowd gathered not far away, where there were many lanterns, which were full of colors, gorgeous and bright.

"What is it?" said Xu Ping'an.

"This is the poetry program that Yangzhou Lantern Festival will have every year, and many shops will take this opportunity to buy good sentences from the literati and ink writers, so that the guests can not come up, so as to make a sum of money, of course, there are also a small number of amazing and gorgeous talented young ladies who can come up. ”

"It's just right, Xianggong, your Wenzhi is quite good, and tonight depends on whether you can shine. Yu Youwei winked at him playfully, looking instigating.

Xu Ping'an smiled: "Why don't you go, madam, I'm afraid I can't even compare to one of your toes in terms of knowledge." ”

"What kind of vulgar words are you talking about, besides, am I a woman who is suitable to show up?!" Yu Youwei glared at him angrily.

At this time, Li Ji and the others were interested and shouted in unison.

"Childe, just listen to Madame, you go and give it a try!"

"Big brother, go!"

"Master, go and suppress the limelight of those Confucian scholars, let them see what Wencai is!"

“......”

Subsequently, Xu Ping'an really couldn't stand the instigation of everyone, and squeezed into the door of a rather large business shop, where the yamen allowed to open a wide street, and a lantern was hung on it.

The lanterns are big and small, and the price is naturally higher when they are bigger, and each lantern has riddles or poems written on it, as long as you can answer correctly or give you the right half of the poem, then the merchant will pay you the money for the lantern, otherwise, Xu Ping'an needs to pay the money for the lantern.

It's a glorification of the way in the gambling house.

There are a lot of people here, and countless people are shouting here, not only those who come to say the same thing, but also those who watch the excitement.

Li Ji highlights his unique advantages at this moment, the whole person is like a wall wherever he stands, living is isolated from the crowding of hundreds of people, and a small girl in one hand, and one sitting on his neck, it looks like a hill.

Xu Ping'an hugged the demon in one hand and Yu Youwei in the other hand, which attracted the side eyes of many people, such a combination is too envious of others, and the golden boy and jade girl make people sigh.

He didn't rush to choose whether to guess the puzzle or the poem, and looked at the others with great interest with everyone.

Not far away, a young man dressed in white and holding a feather fan, who looked like a Confucian scholar, was shaking his head and thinking about the next link.

Its upper link is "East Pawnshop, West Pawnshop, East and West Pawnshop Pawnshop", which directly stumped the literati who watched here eight or nine times out of ten.

The people had different opinions and pointed fingers.

"You'd better hurry!"

"Cut, a reader can't get a few words right, it's really a waste of sage books!"

"Get down, Ben Gongzi is here for a couple!"

“......”

There was a burst of boos in the crowd, which made the young man who had dressed up to be in the limelight today have a red face, almost dripping blood, like a little daughter-in-law who spent a candle night in the cave room.

In the end, he left the scene in shame.

The first moment Xu Ping'an looked at the Shanglian, he felt that Yangzhou people were indeed as rumored, very poetic, and there were too many literati and inkmen, and it was not easy for such an ordinary business shop to come up with such a Shanglian.

"Xianggong, do you also think that the author of that couplet is very talented?" Yu Youwei said with a smile.

"Yes, it is impossible for ordinary scholars to write it, Yangzhou is an outstanding person!" Xu Ping'an sighed.

"Big brother, do you know about the next link?!"

The demon raised an innocent face and asked him in surprise.

Li Ji, Xiaoying and others also looked at him.
