124 Lantern Festival
On the third day of the third month of March, many people celebrate this festival, which is also the same month as the Qingming Festival. There is a clear river in the south of Chang'an City, the river water is very clear, it is night but there are many people noisy here, along both sides of the river are all kinds of traders who buy and sell lanterns, there is a very long luxury painting in the river, there are two floors on the painting voyage, the two floors are transparent, there is no shelter, people outside can see anything and people inside, the lights are bright at the moment, it is not lively, it is full of some talents who join in the fun, read people or something, the painting also held a lantern fan meeting, as long as anyone can guess the hidden code words of the lantern riddle or guess the word, there are rich rewardsγ
Many people lit small lanternboats on the riverside, drifting with the waves, forming a long line of lights with no end in sight. Xueluo took Zhu Yuxuan to squeeze through the crowd and watched the lights in the river, the bright lights reflected the stars dotted in the river, so beautiful.
Zhu Yuxuan patted his white and tender little hands, his eyes lit up excitedly, and he kept admiring the beauty of the river with his small mouth, and Xue Luo smiled and said, "Do you want to play together?"
Zhu Yuxuan said happily: "Yes, of course, what kind of lanterns are we going to buy?"
Xueluo smiled, took her out of the crowd, and then came to a stall selling lanterns, and said with a smile: "Buy whatever you like?"
Zhu Yuxuan looked at the colorful lanterns with bright eyes, and said excitedly: "I want it, I buy it all, and the stall over there also buys it all, and I want that one over there." Zhu Yuxuan excitedly pointed to the stalls selling lanterns next to him, and bought them all as soon as he exited!
Xueluo opened her mouth for a while, coughed and said, "Buy so much, but it costs a lot of money?"
Zhu Yuxuan said disdainfully: "Just now I said that I had enough to invite people to have fun tonight, but I am reluctant to do it at this time? β
Xueluo was speechless: "But this is too much, right?"
Zhu Yuxuan snorted: "I don't care, I want it all anyway." β
Xueluo said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's all up to you, okay?"
Then he smiled bitterly and said to the boss of the stall in front of him: "Boss, how much do you cost all these lanterns?"
The boss was listening to the conversation between Xueluo and the two on the side, and when he heard that Xueluo was going to buy it all, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly nodded and said, "Uncle, wait a while, I'll give you a rough estimate?"
Xueluo nodded and said, "Then you calculate first, I'll go to the next door and take a look." β
The boss pointed to his lantern in a bit of a panic and asked, "Uncle, you went to see over there, those little ......." β
Xueluo said: "Don't worry, it's all over." β
Zhu Yuxuan washed away the expression of contempt for Xueluo just now, hurriedly grinned, and deliberately grabbed Xueluo's arm and said, "I blamed you just now, I didn't expect you to be so generous, hehe......" β
Xueluo said speechlessly: "Only after buying so much for you can I have a trace of generosity?"
Zhu Yuxuan hurriedly changed his words: "Wrong, it's not a trace, it's a lot of generosity." As she spoke, she drew half a circle with her empty hand, which was a metaphor for her great generosity ......!
Xueluo rolled her eyelids and didn't know as much as her, and then felt that her arm touched the soft place on Zhu Yuxuan's body, Xueluo looked down and saw that she was actually rubbing the side of Zhu Yuxuan's chest, but she didn't expect to see that although Zhu Yuxuan's chest was tightly wrapped, this touch felt very full, looking at Zhu Yuxuan as if she didn't notice it, Xueluo didn't deliberately dodge, anyway, it wasn't her own loss.
Walking to another stall next to him, Xueluo said very generously: "That...... Boss, we want all the lanterns on your stall, you count them. β
The boss's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you want them all?"
Xueluo waved his hand and said, "Don't doubt it, it's all about it, just count the accounts." β
The vendor smiled and said, "Then wait a minute." After speaking, he hurriedly counted them, and even the one next to him was also a lantern seller, and his eyes were green with envy. Xueluo glanced at him and said, "Don't look, I want all of your side too." β
The vendor was so happy that he hurriedly began to count as well. Not long after, the vendor of the first stall smiled honestly and said, "That uncle, the small ones are counted, a total of ninety-eight taels of silver." β
Xueluo nodded and walked over with Zhu Yuxuan to pay him. These vendors are still regretting it in their hearts, why don't they get more out! Mistake! The lanterns of the three stalls all cost Xue Luo more than 300 taels of silver, but fortunately he has money! Otherwise, it would really be bloody! Xue Luo sighed with emotion.
Hurriedly beckoned to the three vendors and said, "Could you please help us move all the lanterns to the river?"
The three vendors were happy now, and of course they would not refuse this little thing, so they picked up a large number of lanterns and walked towards the river. Xueluo hurriedly went with Zhu Yuxuan to separate the crowd around the river to make way. There are more than 1,600 lanterns on several loads, this time it is really spectacular, those crowds around the river to watch are curious to discuss, I don't know what the snow falls a few people want to do, why pick up so many lanterns to go down to the river.
Zhu Yuxuan laughed and followed Xueluo to the riverside to reach the water, where small boats are usually parked, but due to tonight's festival, those small boats are gone, only the one in the middle is luxurious.
At this moment, there are more than 20 men and women playing by the river, and when they see the snow falling, they pick up so many lanterns and know what they are going to do, but they are all amazed that rich people are different!!
After the three vendors picked up all the lanterns, Xueluo chuckled and said to Zhu Yuxuan: "You can start, you will definitely ignite until you are tired and faint." β
Zhu Yuxuan smiled and said, "Do you think everyone is so stupid as you?"
After speaking, Zhu Yuxuan grinned and shouted to the men and women: "How about you please put lanterns together tonight? We have a lot of them here." β
The twenty men and women clapped their hands and shouted, "Okay, okay." As he spoke, he untied the lanterns and put them all out one by one.
Zhu Yuxuan proudly raised his head and said, "How is it?"
Xueluo gave a thumbs up: "You can ......!"
Then Zhu Yuxuan asked the three vendors to do it together, and everyone worked together, placing them, lighting the fire, putting down the riverside, putting down the riverside, in short, all the division of labor, everyone was so unhappy.
There are no idlers in the snowfall, and there are few such activities to do anyway, but the lanterns reminded Xueluo of the night when the lanterns were put out a certain year ago. Get rid of the mess, today is not yesterday, and it's useless to think about it.
The lanterns drifted in the water and drifted with the waves, and you can imagine what the scene was like. The crowd on the riverbank was in a commotion, and men, women, and children were screaming, cheering, and clapping their hands at the sight.
Even the lantern riddles on the painting voyage were temporarily stopped, and one by one they poked their heads out to look at the mighty army of lights in the river.
At this time, suddenly more than a dozen people on the shore hurriedly walked over with a large pile of lanterns, and when they saw the snow falling, Zhu Yuxuan hurriedly said: "This uncle, miss, do you still want lanterns? β
Zhu Yuxuan looked at the lanterns carried by more than ten people, covered his mouth in surprise and was inexplicably excited, and without waiting for Xueluo to answer, he hurriedly shouted excitedly: "Yes, we want them all, we want them all, quickly pick them down......"
Xueluo's head was covered with black silk, as if it had been struck by lightning, and the spirit of the whole person collapsed, and he counted the number of lanterns of these people at will, and suddenly gasped, the lanterns of the three vendors just now added up to more than 1,600, if he bought all these individuals, wouldn't it be more than 10,000? It's not that Xueluo gasped because of money, but because there were too many lanterns, right? When will this be placed?
But it didn't matter if the snow fell into his heart, Zhu Yuxuan had already shouted to the people watching the excitement on the shore: "Let's have some more people to help?"
With a coax, Zhu Yuxuan had just finished shouting, and twenty or thirty people had already run down noisily.
