The Lantern Festival lantern scene in front of Xi Zhang Zhuang Yuan Temple is a unique sight. In previous years, starting from the evening of the 12th day of the first lunar month, women in the city would walk together to watch the lanterns. Xi Zhang Zhuang Yuan Temple is a must-see. This year it will be another
We arrived hand in hand, but we saw it was deserted. Only the white-barked pine outside the wall was being repaired every day. I couldn't help but be surprised. I asked around what was going on, and the answer I got was: On the Lantern Festival, lanterns are put out in Longshan. It is a beautiful scene in the world. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Most of the villagers go to the city on a sunny day, go under the lamp shacks, walk on the light bridges, and also walk around in front of the Zhuangyuandi gate. They ask why there are no lights in front of the Zhuangyuandi gate this year, and they get the same answer.
Once the word spreads to ten, it spreads to hundreds. Not only the people in Shanyin, but also the people in Kuaiji County know that there will be a grand lantern festival in Longshan on the Lantern Festival. The people in the surrounding suburbs and eight villages also know the news. The villagers who have relatives in the city will be the first to know.
I went to the city to stay at a relative's house, waiting to see this once-in-a-lifetime light scene. On the afternoon of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Yuan was copying teacher Wang Siren's "Luo Shen Fu" in the study. This was an unshakable daily homework.
He ran over and said, "Jiezi, these six big lamps in front of your door have been requisitioned." Zhang Yuan asked, "What?"
Zhang E said: "Even if we hang it up to Longshan, every extra lantern will be a lantern. Tonight we are going to hang a Milky Way upside down and we won't miss these lanterns like yours. It was the eldest brother who said in front of his third uncle that the lamps painted by Zun Lang are elegant and good."
, it can be hung up in Longshan to increase its color, so it was requisitioned."
Zhang Yuan laughed and said, "This is a forced conscription. Eunuch Zhong is so abominable that he forces all the people in the city to flatter him!" Zhang E said, "It's not because of Eunuch Zhong's coming. It's mainly to use this matter to show off the magnanimity of the Zhang family.
Kuo and means, Jiezi, stop practicing your calligraphy and go together quickly." Zhang Yuan said: "I have something else to do, so I'll go later." He wanted to wait for Shang Danran to come, and he made an appointment to come to Shanyin this afternoon on the first day of the new year.
Look at the lights.
Zhang E then asked several servants to pick off the lamps in front of the door and went all the way to Longshan.
Zhang Yuan copied a few more lines of "Luo Shen Fu" "~
The olive fiber is satisfactory, trimmed short and well proportioned. If the shoulders are cut into shape, the waist is as plain as expected. The neck is extended and the neck is beautiful, and the quality is lustrous. The fragrance is not added, and the flowers are not Yu. The cloud bun is tall, the eyebrows are trimmed and the eyebrows are bright.
, White teeth with fresh insides. Bright eyes that are good at gazing, and dimples that support power. Roses, beautiful appearance, quiet demeanor and leisurely body. Tender and charming, charming in words..."
Wang Siren's small regular script is charming and colorful, and the text of "Luo Shen Fu" tries his best to depict a stunning beauty. Zhang Yuan was a little distracted, thinking about Shang Danran, and thought: "Reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant fragrance, can you really concentrate on reading?"
?”
"Master, the merchant is here." Wu Ling ran in to report.
Zhang Yuan hurried out to the front yard and saw the business manager waiting in front of the hall. As soon as he saw Zhang Yuan coming out, he quickly crossed his hands and saluted: "Mr. Zhang, my master has arrived in front of the Fuxue Palace Society School.
Sisters, Miss Jinglan and Miss Jinghui." Zhang Yuan was overjoyed and said: "Please wait a moment." He quickly went in and told his mother.
Zhang's mother, Lu, said happily: "As a mother, I also want to see Miss Shang." She ordered Yi Ting to help clean up quickly.
Shang Danran arrived at the door of Zhang Yuan's house but did not enter. This was not rude, but the rule was that one could not enter her husband's house without being greeted personally. That would be like running away from home, but there was no problem in meeting each other outside.
The eldest girls Yi Ting and Mu Zhenzhen supported Zhang's mother, Lu, on the left and right. Tu Ting followed behind with a small spoon. Zhang Yuan and Wu Ling walked a little ahead. Zhang's mother, Lu, had small feet and could not walk very fast.
Fortunately, it has been sunny for several days. The snow on the streets has melted and the roads are easy to walk. Shexue is located on the left bank of Fuhe River, only one mile away from Zhang Yuan's home. After passing Fuxue Palace and walking a short distance east, you will find Shexue.
It is the New Year's holiday now, and the door of the social school is closed. Two carriages are parked there, and there are several maids beside the carriages.
Zhang Yuan rushed over, greeted Shang Zhoude, and said, "Brother Shang, my mother is also here and wants to see Miss Danran."
Shang Danran also expected that Zhang Yuan's mother would take this opportunity to see her, so he was already prepared. After hearing this, he quickly got out of the car. Sisters Jing Lan and Jing Hui also got down. 1 Little Jing Hui must have won over his uncle and aunt.
Strictly ordered, he only smiled at Zhang Yuan and said nothing.
Two maids brought a roll of red felt from the carriage and spread it on the ground. Shang Danran stood up shyly and respectfully. Seeing a kind-faced woman with slightly freckled hair approaching, Zhang Yuan stepped forward to help her: "Mother, this is
This is Brother Shang, and this is Miss Shang Danran."
Shang Zhoude greeted Zhang's mother Lu as a junior, and Zhang's mother Lu returned the gift. Shang Danran, who was standing by the red carpet, raised his hands and forehead, pressed his right hand on his left, first bent his left knee, then his right knee, wrapped in his skirt
The plump tunnel is pressed close to the heel, the body leans forward, and the solemn salute~
Thousands of warnings, ten thousand, and small warnings, but this matter was not mentioned. In order to show that she was well-behaved and polite, Xiao Jinghui, who was one year older in the new year, followed the example of her aunt Shang Danran and knelt down to bow to Zhang Yuan's mother.
It’s a big gift, but Shang Jinglan knows that this is a big gift for her aunt to meet her parents-in-law, so it’s not easy to go to the little girl at this time.
Hui, gave Zhang Yuan's mother a light slap, and quickly gave Zhang Yuan's mother a blessing.
When Shang Danran performed the solemn worship ceremony, he said clearly: "My son Danran pays homage to his mother.
The sun was shining brightly that day, and the front door of the social school was open and bright. The Fuhe River not far away was rippling brightly. Zhang’s mother, Mrs. Lu, could clearly see her future daughter-in-law and heard Shang Danran’s words clearly.
Shang Danran is tall and graceful, dignified and beautiful. Today she is dressed up again deliberately, with light makeup and powder, and her face is radiant. This beauty that is revealed in the bones and penetrates into the texture is far from what the picture of a girl playing Cuju can depict Zhang Mulu.
His heart was full of joy, and he first turned to look at his son, which meant, "My son really has good eyesight and is so lucky!" He took a few steps to help Shang Danran, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, good boy, Jia'er!"
Jia looked at the daughter-in-law carefully on the other side, while putting a gemstone ring on Shang Danran's finger. Shang Danran lowered his eyelashes, his face was red and his face was extremely beautiful.
When Xiao Jinghui saw her little aunt standing up, she stood up too. Fortunately, her little aunt didn't imitate her and said, "Greetings, mother." Shang Jinglan quickly dragged her sister to the back of the carriage to teach her a lesson. After a while, 1 Xiao Jinghui stood up.
The two sisters came out, and Xiao Jinghui pouted and said nothing.
Yi Ting, Tu Ting and Mu Zhenzhen all came to salute the young lady at this time. Shang Danran was so embarrassed that his neck turned red and he could hardly open his eyes. Zhang's mother, Lu, took pity on her and said: "Let's go to the car.
Sit down and talk for a while." When Shang Danran got into the car, Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu, paid attention to her feet and said, um,
It is indeed a bit big, but not too big. It is smaller than Yi Ting's feet. Zhang's mother Lu is already very satisfied. When Shang Danran and Zhang's mother Lu were talking in the carriage, Zhang Yuan and Shang Zhoude
Walking to the Fu River, Shang Zhoude told Zhang Yuan that his brother Shang Zhou Qu had received a letter and was very satisfied with the marriage of his younger sister Shang Danran. In fact, how could Shang Zhou Qu, who was far away in the capital, know about Zhang Yuan's character and talent?
, and it wasn’t all based on Shang Zhoude’s letter. Shang Zhoude said again: “Next month, my brother will send someone to pick up my sisters-in-law Fu and Jinglan and Jinghui when they come to Beijing. Originally, Dan Ran was going to go with them because they were engaged.
Dan Ran himself doesn't want to leave Shaoxing." Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "Of course Dan Ran can't go to Beijing, otherwise we won't be able to see each other for at least three years. If I want to go to Beijing, it won't be until the end of the next year at the earliest. Well, county examinations, government examinations, etc.
Only if you succeed in the road test continuously, and then pass the provincial test, can you rush to Beijing to take part in the joint examination. Is it too late to pass the Jinshi at the age of nineteen?" Zhang's mother Lu and Shang Danran talked in the car for about two moments. When they got off the car, they said,
Zhang's mother, Mrs. Lu, smiled even more happily and was extremely pleased. Her eyes when looking at Shang Danran were extremely kind and gentle. "Ding asked Zhang Yuan to accompany Danran to watch the lanterns, and she took Yi Ting and Tu Ting back.
It was already sunset at this time, and Longshan Mountain in the distance to the northwest was completely black under the setting sun. Where was the strange scene of the Milky Way upside down?
Zhang Yuan and Shang Zhoude followed the carriage on foot. When the group arrived at the Longshan Pass, the sky had darkened. They saw Feng Hu, the healthy servant of Xi Zhang, carrying a huge lantern with several lines of big characters shining brightly on the lantern: "
Cars and horses are prohibited, fireworks are prohibited, noise is prohibited, slaves of wealthy families are prohibited from drinking and walking around."
Feng Hu carried a lantern and walked up and down the mountain pass. He would stop any carriage or horse and hold the lantern high for people to see.
Shang Zhoude said with a smile: "These must be banned, otherwise the mountains will be troubled by horses and horses, and people will not be able to squeeze through. With fireworks and lanterns, the mountains will be burned, and it will be even more vulgar for wealthy slaves to shout." Then Shang Danran let Shang Danran.
He also got out of the car and was taken care of by Zhang Yuan. The two carriages drove to the Guangxiang Bridge and stopped there.
Shang Zhoude, Zhang Yuan, Shang Danran, and sisters Jinglan and Jinghui came to the foot of Longshan Mountain. Thousands of people have gathered at the foot of the mountain, including scholars, ladies, and rural husbands and wives, as well as wine sellers and advocates.
There are people everywhere - the weather has warmed up in the past few days, the snow has melted in Longshan, and the mountain streams are gurgling. Only the back of the mountain cliff is still covered with snow. I saw about hundreds of Xi Zhang's servants, hanging lanterns everywhere on the east side of Longshan.
There are hundreds of wooden frames, painted with red paint and covered with brocade. Three lamps are hung on each wooden frame, which means there are thousands of them. Moreover, along the road along the mountain, there are all lamps hanging between the branches and trees.
I have heard that all the six lamps she painted have been hung here. I looked around with bright eyes, looking for the six lamps she painted. Zhang Yuan said: "Those are top-grade lamps. They should be hung on the mountain, not at the foot of the mountain. I can't see it."
It's my third brother's turn, I'll go ask.
Zhang E was shouting over there: "Light the lamp, light the lamp."
Then several servants followed and shouted: "Light the lamp, light the lamp."
Immediately, hundreds of people shouted: "Light up, light up."
I saw that from the gate of Chengyou Temple to Penglaigang, lights were lit up one after another, and then up to the Xingsu Pavilion on the top of the mountain, extending down to the foot of the mountain. Countless lights were lit up, and darkness fell in an instant. Looking from the bottom of the mountain,
Going up, it's like the stars are hanging upside down, the baths are blazing, and there are countless lights leaning on the grass and trees, as if the whole Longshan is about to burn.
Thousands of people at the foot of the mountain were silent at first, holding their breath and concentrating. They were completely shocked by the spectacle in front of them. The lights were colorful and brilliant due to the different colors of the lampshades. This was truly an unforgettable sight.
Zhang E didn't know where he had gone. When Zhang Yuan went back to look for Shang Danran, he could not find any trace of them. Looking around him, only Mu Zhenzhen was still following him.
The description of prosperity only reveals the tragedy of the demise of the late Ming Dynasty. One must draw from the heart and let this beauty stay.@.
