"Of course I'm not dreaming." Wang Xian hugged his wife's thin shoulders, looked at her little face carefully, and said with great distress: "Qing'er, you have lost weight again."
"The official is..." Lin Qing'er hugged his waist tightly, buried her head deeply in his strong chest, and refused to lift it up again. After a while, she said shyly: "The official, I am concubine.
I lost my composure..."
"Hahahaha..." Wang Xian laughed loudly and said, "It doesn't matter, everyone is not at home anyway."
"How do officials know?"
"Otherwise, how could the lady be so bold?"
"The official made fun of me..."
The couple who reunited after a long separation naturally had endless things to say about each other. The two hugged each other and returned to the inner courtyard. Lin Qing'er personally helped Wang Xian wash his face. Wang Xian smiled and said: "Even little Jasmine is not at home."
"Everyone in the family went out to play. Yu She stayed with me for a few days. Seeing her scratching her head and scratching her head, I really couldn't bear it, so I let her go out to play with Yin Ling and Ling Xiao." Lin Qing'er said with a bitter smile.
"Then why don't you go out?" Wang Xian washed Yu Jing's face and put on Yu Jing's brocade robe.
"The official is not at home," Lin Qing'er said shyly, "I have no intention of having fun..."
"So I came back in a hurry. Tonight is the last day of the Lantern Festival. Let's go out and have some fun." Wang Xian laughed, stood up and said, "Madam, how about this coat?"
"It's all up to the officials." Lin Qing'er was elated. She hadn't gone out too much. Otherwise, how could she get a chance to be in the world with the officials?
A moment of the Spring Festival is worth a thousand pieces of gold, so how precious is the time during the Lantern Festival? The young couple dressed neatly and went out to the Qinhuai River. Although Jinling City is prosperous everywhere and there are lights everywhere tonight, people are still used to crowding in the most prosperous places.
The most prosperous place in Jinling City is of course Shili Qinhuai. At this time, the sky has just turned dark, and the forest of paintings, flutes and drums on the Qinhuai River has been eager to light up various lanterns, and the colorful lights are reflected on the soft Qinhuai River.
, reflecting the brilliant colors, very charming. The rows of shops along the river also lit up their lights, such as car lights, gondola lights, silk lamps, sun and moon lamps, Shipai silk lamps, mirror lamps, words
Lanterns, horse riding lanterns, phoenix lanterns, water lanterns, colored glaze lanterns, shadow lanterns, all kinds of glazed lanterns, all kinds of ingenious lanterns, Pingjiang Yushan lanterns, Luo silk lanterns, sand opera lanterns, red lanterns filled with figures... the capital city
The residents of the city poured their creativity that they had been holding back for a year into the Lantern Festival. All the lanterns you can think of are here, and there are also things you can’t imagine. Regardless of their financial resources or skills, people are doing their best.
Decorate with your own lanterns, just to add luster to the competition on this Lantern Festival
It was as if the stars in the sky had flipped to the ground and turned into thousands of lights, twinkling and shining everywhere. In this brightly lit nightless sky, people were having fun, and there were a lot of colorful lights.
Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and there were sounds of flutes and drums on the ground. Thousands of gong and drum teams appeared out of nowhere and gathered into a long dragon. There were people walking on stilts, dancing dragon lanterns, rowing land boats, and doing tricks.
The floats and somersaults are huge in scale and come in a variety of tricks, which dazzles the crowds of spectators. But what is more popular among the people are the floats put out by the brothel band, which are not only colorful and colorful, but also fragrant and dazzling.
, standing on top like girls from the lower realm of fairies. The girls either play the piano and sing, or dance gracefully, or even just stand there and show their sweet smiles to the crowd, which is enough to make the viewers intoxicated and the crowds are like heads.
The tide surged with the float.
"Grandma, you're such a bear," Wang Xian was dumbfounded. "Compared to the capital, Taiyuan is just a fucking rural place. I'm not going anywhere, so I'll just stay in the capital." Although he fully agreed with what he said, he still
Lin Qing'er was still spoiled and resentful when she heard the official's dirty words. The official is the master of civil affairs, so wouldn't it make people laugh when they hear you talk like this? She has never given up her efforts to transform her husband into a humble gentleman.
Normally Wang Xian would quibble a bit, but today he had a very correct attitude, admitted his mistakes and promised to correct them. Lin Qing'er was very surprised. She put her arms around his shoulders and said coquettishly: "Master, I'm hungry..."
"You are so hungry, madam? Is this okay?" Wang Xian immediately looked away from the flower boat and said loudly: "Shall we go to the restaurant to have some food and wine?"
"Today," Lin Qing'er stood on tiptoe and whispered shyly into his ear, "I want to try the food on the street."
"Haha, that's right." Wang Xian saw the street vendors selling snacks such as lactose dumplings, crystal wontons, leek cakes, candied fruits, fried pancakes, lotus root boxes, grilled fish and other snacks to the citizens. Under the yellow light, the vendors
These dazzling arrays of food are arranged in piles, which look particularly tempting and will definitely make you salivate. No wonder even Lin Qing'er, who pays great attention to light and healthy diet, is tempted. This also shows how happy she is.
Wang Xian took out a bunch of copper coins and squeezed into the crowd. When he came out after a while, he was holding five or six food boxes in his hands, including seafood balls with soup, lactose balls with fillings, and gold
The yellow roasted tripe... made Lin Qing'er so greedy that she drooled. Seeing the official looking at her teasingly, she hurriedly covered her mouth with a ropa in embarrassment.
"Haha, madam, the Lantern Festival lunch box is so wild." Wang Xian laughed and said, "Didn't you see those girls?"
Lin Qing'er followed Wang Xian's gaze and saw groups of girls hanging out in groups, wearing jade plums, snow plums, snow willows, bodhi leaves, moths and bees made of various colors on their heads, with flowers and branches spread out, chatting and playing as if no one else was around.
They made noises and screamed with joy. What's more, they winked at the wandering young men who were following them, and even held hands, shoulder to shoulder, and even were carried on their backs. Where was the defense between men and women?
This is the Shangyuan Festival. There are no etiquette and rules. The human nature that has been suppressed for a year naturally bursts out like a volcanic eruption. It is this scorching heat wave like volcanic lava that makes this Shangyuan Festival so dazzling.
Mesmerizing...
Lin Qing'er finally let go completely. She held Wang Xian's arm and wandered in this ocean of joy. She opened her mouth to eat whatever she wanted and asked her husband to insert a stick into her mouth. When she saw the wonderful things, she shouted "Little"
Yelling, even jumping up and down... Ever since she was a child, she has never been so carried away.
Wang Xian only looked at his wife dotingly, his eyes full of guilt and apology. After Lin Qing'er filled her stomach, he threw away the food boxes and suddenly leaned down and said: "Madam, I will also carry you on my back."
Let’s go.”
Lin Qing'er's eyes flashed and her face turned red. Although she had not drank yet, she was already drunk and she nodded tremblingly. Wang Xian followed the example of those wandering young men and put Lin Qing'er on his back, carrying her like a baby.
Walking through the lantern market like a fish.
Lin Qing'er was petite. She originally felt that the crowds in all directions were blocking her like a forest, so she dared to act recklessly. At this moment, she got on Wang Xian's back, towering over him, and her sight suddenly opened up, but she felt as if there was no obstruction.
It seemed that everyone was watching. He hurriedly struggled to get down: "Officer, let me down quickly. I'm so embarrassed."
"Don't be afraid, who knows who?" Wang Xian laughed loudly.
"The officials are tired..."
"Your body is so light, I can't even feel your weight." Wang Xian laughed and said, "I won't let you down today without saying anything, just enjoy the lanterns on the officer's back." After saying that, he walked towards
Look at the place with the brightest lights and loudest voices - Yuqian Street. Although there are not as many lights on Yuqian Street as there are on the Qinhuai River, they are more exquisite, grander and more expensive... The reason is simple, the emperor will be on the Meridian Gate
Enjoy lantern feasts with the princes and concubines, and enjoy themselves with the people. Naturally, the best lanterns must be shown to the emperor...
Lin Qing'er had no choice but to continue to lie shyly on Wang Xian's back, looking at the lights around her, and found that her vision was indeed better than ever before. She could finally see the eighty-foot-high tower. After it was lit, everything was bright, and the light captured the moon.
The colorful hundred-foot lantern tree, and the splendid lantern mountain with an area of 20 rooms and a height of 150 feet, hung with pearls, jade, gold and silver spikes, depicting dragons, phoenixes, tigers and leopards, are extremely beautiful and charming. The Western Bliss
,. Thousands of lanterns on Dengshan Mountain are all bright, shining with splendor and beauty. Some of the lanterns are painted in the shape of Manjushri Bodhisattva astride a lion, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva riding a white elephant, etc. What is particularly surprising is that the Bodhisattva's arms can move freely.
When you move, your fingers can also produce water, spray beads and splash jade, which is wonderful and colorful...
But what is more attractive is the Aoshan lantern. The Aoshan lantern is an ingenious combination of lanterns and fireworks. I saw a lantern mountain made of lanterns of various colors, with phoenixes, golden dragons, mountain monsters, birds and beasts... At this moment, the phoenix flute sounded,
The jade pot is spinning, fish are waving their tails in the water, phoenixes and golden dragons are hovering in the air, spraying clouds and mist from the dragon's mouth, and the phoenix's wings are full of fireworks. When the dragon and phoenix fly to the highest point of Dengshan, there is a sudden loud noise and countless fireworks.
Soaring into the sky, it lit up the dark night sky.
Together with the emperor's concubines on the Five Phoenix Tower, everyone raised their heads and stared blankly at this extremely gorgeous scene. When the fireworks dissipated, people had not yet woken up from the shock, and the sky was still red.
"The water has leaked, the water has leaked" suddenly rang out, and people followed the sound at a loss, only to see a raging fire burning on a mountain of lanterns. The fire spread in the blink of an eye, starting from a mountain of lanterns.
It burned to another mountain of lanterns and ignited the shops on the street. The fire soared into the sky and dyed the night sky red.
"Quickly put out the fire!" The emperor on the city was stunned, but his ministers reacted and shouted loudly for the water dragon team that had been prepared in advance. However, there were at least 100,000 people on Yuqian Street, shoulder to shoulder, and those heavy water dragons could not get close at all.
Where the fire started, the fire spread rapidly and threatened to engulf the entire Yuqian Street.
The people watching the lanterns were in complete chaos. Some wanted to put out the fire, while others wanted to escape, and everything became a mess. The husband could not find his wife and children, the servant could not find his master, the father-in-law could not see his son, and there were cries and screams one after another.
