"In the first month, the first month is the first month, and the fifteenth day of the first month is a lantern. ”

The fifteenth day of the first month of each year is called the Shangyuan Festival, and the Shangyuan Festival puts lanterns, which is a festival custom that has long existed, and that time will be the most lively time in the entire Southern Dynasty.

On the Shangyuan Festival, the government opened the city gate, lifted the curfew, allowed urban and rural residents to enter and exit freely, and watched the lanterns all night......

"It's so beautiful!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Yu couldn't help but sigh deeply, and the teachers and brothers nodded in agreement, standing on the street, the black sky was illuminated by countless lanterns, and it was magnificent; on both sides of the road, there were merchants and shops, and all kinds of lanterns were competing with each other, the big and small ones were beautiful and exquisite; the people watching the lanterns on the road, regardless of men, women, and children, also carried lanterns in their hands, including gauze lamps, paper lamps, glass lamps, etc., and some children still carried "moths" on their heads Some of them look like butterflies, some of them look like dragonflies, some of them look like moths, some of them look like bees, but they are very interesting.

"Young masters, this is the lantern that my master has prepared for you, you young masters and young ladies may wish to choose one to play with!" The housekeeper and a group of servants in the house, carrying lanterns, said to Bai Yu and his party.

The Shangyuan Festival to watch the lanterns, is the son of the sect Ximen Xuan and Kaiyang Zhenren daughter Bai Yu two begged bitterly, the elders of the family agreed to let some disciples down the mountain to this Bianliang to watch the lanterns, and the Tiandou faction as a big faction in the rivers and lakes always have some disciples in Bianliang to settle down, this time Bai Yu and his party live in the Tiandou faction named disciple Liu Haishan's Liu Mansion, this housekeeper was ordered by his master to send lanterns to the distinguished guests.

"I want this!" Bai Yu took a pink rabbit-like lantern from the servant's hand.

"Senior Brother You, you can pick one too, or I'll pick one for you!" Bai Yu looked at Yu Yi with interest, "How about you see this lamp?"

As soon as she looked at her fingers, it was actually a slightly larger pink rabbit lamp, and she smiled bitterly.

"Senior Brother You, if you don't speak, you agree!" Bai Yu couldn't help but say, and stuffed the rabbit lamp into his hand.

Ximen Xuan, who was standing next to Bai Yu, looked at Bai Yu's intimacy with Yuyi, and couldn't help but flash a trace of gloom on his face.

Yu Yi didn't want to come here to see any lanterns, but he couldn't stand Bai Yu going to his yard every day to repeatedly emphasize that everyone went to watch the lanterns together on the Shangyuan Festival, and slightly revealed the meaning of prevarication, that is, he rolled coquettishly, which made Yu Yi smile bitterly, and had to promise her to come to this Bianliang to watch the lanterns together.

The other brothers and sisters picked up the lanterns, and under Bai Yu's order, they began the lantern viewing journey of the Shangyuan Lantern Festival.

"Hey, Senior Brother You, look at these women, these little lanterns on their heads are so beautiful. Bai Yu tugged at the sleeve of his shirt and pointed to the woman in front of him.

Looking in the direction of the white jade finger, isn't it, some women wear small lanterns the size of dates and chestnuts on their heads, and then use pearls or jadeite to decorate, under the illumination of the light, it is really crystal clear, dazzling, and worn on the head, it becomes the most dazzling jewelry.

"If my sister likes it, I'll go buy one for my sister!" Ximen Xuan stood aside and hurriedly spoke.

"I don't want it, if I don't pay attention and burn my hair, then I'll be miserable, so I don't want it. Bai Yu hurriedly refused, but he was secretly depressed in his heart, so many people were crowded together, it was annoyingly tight.

"Okay!" After a few steps, there was a burst of cheers and applause not far ahead.

Bai Yu pulled his sleeves and squeezed into the crowd, but there were many Jianghu artists performing their own housekeeping skills, holding a sword in their hands and swallowing it from their mouths, a strong man with a naked upper body and a big stone on his chest, an old man wearing a broken hat and fiddling with snakes and insects, etc., the people of the Tiandou Sect rarely went down the mountain, and this Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival was only once a year, how could everyone have seen such colorful skills, and everyone who watched it applauded again and again, and their hearts were hooked.

Most of these wonderful skills have never been seen before, but they also watched it with relish, and suddenly felt that someone was pulling their sleeves, and they didn't see who Bai Yu was.

Bai Yu looked cautious, and when he saw that he was looking at him, he secretly stretched out his finger and gently pointed outward, signaled him to follow, and tiptoed out.

Yu Yi hurriedly followed, there were a lot of people here, and the skills of the artists performing were really exquisite, everyone was fascinated by it, even the group of people from the Heaven Dou Sect, but no one noticed the two who sneaked out.

"Whew~" Bai Yu patted his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief, there were too many people, and Bai Yu and Yu Yi and Yi finally slipped out of the crowd.

"Senior Sister Bai, we are ......" Yu Yi looked at this little senior sister who was two years younger than herself, and asked, I don't know what new ideas the little girl has.

"Let them play by themselves, let's go over there and watch the lights!" Bai Yu looked cunning, with a smile on his face, and threw off the group of senior brothers, only her and Yu Yi were really happy, and grabbed Yu Yi's sleeve and ran forward.

"Wow, Senior Brother You, look, it's so beautiful!" Bai Yu pointed to the various lanterns in front of him and exclaimed.

Look in the direction of Bai Yu's finger, on this section of the north and south streets, there is an isolation belt on both sides that cannot be seen at a glance, the isolation belt is made of thorny thorns, there is a lamp mountain in this isolation belt, it is more than a few zhang high, there are marquee lamps, shadow puppet lights, fairy lights, dragon and phoenix lamps and so on on the lamp mountain, the people who see are dazzled, dizzying.

There is a Bodhisattva lamp on both sides of the lamp mountain, that is, the statues of Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva. Manjushri rides a lion, Fuxian rides a white elephant, and the two Bodhisattvas are several feet tall and have golden eyes.

This golden light is the light, and the ingenious lamp-makers hollow out the head of the Bodhisattva, place a giant lamp in it, and the light shines out of the eyeholes, and it is the golden light.

In addition, these two bodhisattvas have erected a palm, and the five fingers of each palm are thicker than ordinary people's thighs, and a stream of water spews out from the fingertips of each finger, pouring down like a waterfall, which is really whimsical.

These lanterns, all kinds, compete for beauty, beautiful, but also quite huge and shocking.

Marveling at the white jade, Yu Yi also nodded again and again, it was the first time he had seen such a big and so many lanterns.

"What are you doing over there!" After seeing the big lantern, Bai Yu pulled up his sleeves and squeezed towards the crowded place.

Yu Yi looked at the white jade who was in high spirits, smiled "hehe", and also let go of his heart and followed.

When I squeezed to the front, I saw a stage set up in front of me, and the stage was full of small lanterns, and the small lanterns were glued with strips of cloth, and different words were written on them. Gentleman's Building' provides, if you feel that you can solve the puzzle on the lantern, you might as well come up and give it a try, where you can answer ten questions in a row, we have a few carefully prepared ten gifts, you can choose two at will, of course, even if you can't answer the ten questions correctly, we also have a small prize to give, which old and young masters, Miss and Mrs. come up and give it a try!"

The man who spoke on the stage was a rich old man, and after speaking, ten young girls came out from behind the stage, each holding a plate in her hand, and each of them had a thing in it, and the old man stepped out of the way, so that people could see the prize on the stage.

These shops are also atmospheric, and the things on the plates are all of high value, and everyone in the audience is talking about it, but many people are eager to try.

"I'm coming!" a young scholar shouted, holding a folding fan and walking up to the stage.

"Okay, Childe, please listen to the question!" The old man shouted hello, took down a lantern, and read: "An acre of land without head and tail, please type a word!" After speaking, he showed the lantern to everyone to watch.

The scholar clenched his fan, but he was too nervous to answer.

"Childe may not be ready, if you have a chance next year, you might as well come up and try again, 'Gentleman's Building' will give Childe, a knife of paper. The old man said with a smile and asked the maid to take out the gift to send the boy off the stage.

Then people continued to come on stage, and everyone cheered when they answered correctly, and everyone sighed in unison when they answered wrong, but it was as if they were answering questions on stage, but unfortunately no one had even answered ten questions in a row.

"Senior Brother You, why don't you go up and try it too!" Bai Yu said as he tugged at his sleeve.

"No, I'm not interested in this!" he waved his hand repeatedly, not because he was afraid that he would not be embarrassed, but because he really didn't want to be in the limelight. "I've taken a fancy to that golden hairpin, can you help me win it? Bai Yu pouted, grabbed Yuyi's arm and shook it constantly, and said coquettishly.

Yan Yi smiled bitterly, this girl is getting more and more powerful, after a long time of contact, she knows the truth of overcoming rigidity with softness, and hurriedly wanted to pull out her arm, and said with a bitter face: "Don't shake, don't shake, I'll go up and try it, but I can't even guarantee if I can even ask ten questions!"

"I know that Senior Brother You is the best, I believe in you, you will definitely be able to do it. Bai Yu jumped to his feet happily and patted his arm, looking like I believe you.

Yan Yiyi looked helpless, and when the person who answered the question on the stage came down, he walked up to the stage and arched his hand to the old man and said, "Please ask the old man to ask the question!"

"Okay, Childe listen, 'Why not', answer one word!" The old man was not verbose, took down a lamp and asked, and after asking, he showed the lamp in his hand to everyone in the audience to watch.

"Immortal!" After the old man finished watching the lights for everyone in the audience, he was not in a hurry or slow, and he was confident.

"Congratulations, Childe, you're right!" the old man said with a smile.

"Okay!" Bai Yu jumped up happily, even happier than she answered correctly, and her little hand clapped "popping".

The old man took another lamp and said, "Bow your head and think of your hometown, answer a herb!" After asking, he also showed the lamp to the people below.

"Familiarly!" replied the Shoichi.

"Congratulations, Childe, you're right again!" said the old man with a smile on his face.

"Good!" Bai Yu was the first to jump up and applaud, clapping his hands again and again.

In this way, nine riddles in a row, all of them were answered, and Bai Yu's little hands in the audience were red, but she didn't feel any pain at all, but was very happy, her face was full of excitement, and she smiled like a flower.

"Childe is really a master of this way, the little old man dares to ask Childe's name!" The old man never thought that Xuyi was so powerful, and when others came up, he didn't ask for his name, but at this time, he asked for Xuyi's name.

"I don't dare to be praised by my father-in-law, the kid is exempt from your surname You!" he arched his hand, but he used the surname You, and he did not report his full name.

"You Gongzi, okay, let's take a look at the tenth lantern riddle, if You Gongzi answers correctly, you can choose two of the ten prizes on the plate!" The old man didn't force it, took down another lamp, and said, "Sharp, answer the 'Analects'!" After asking, he showed the lantern to everyone to watch.

Bai Yu in the audience clenched his fists, his palms were sweating, and his two eyes stared at him motionlessly, and his heart had never been so nervous.

"Little big by it!" said Yu Yi unhurriedly.

"Okay, You Gongzi is really powerful, and he guessed all the ten lantern riddles correctly. The old man clapped his hands and shouted hello, and everyone in the audience cheered, although he did not admit it, but it did not prevent everyone from applauding him.

Bai Yu shouted in surprise, rushed to the stage and jumped and jumped while hugging Xuyi's neck, Xuyi felt a softness in his arms, and a unique fragrance of a girl came to his nose, Xuyi grew so big but never tasted nephrite in his arms, and he didn't know where to put his hands, and his face was flushed.
