Among the dynasties in ancient China, only the Ming Dynasty had the longest time for hanging lanterns, starting from the eighth day of the eighth day and continuing to the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, which lasted for ten days.
Of course, guessing lantern riddles, which is well known in this plane, is also held on this day of the Lantern Festival. In order to attract business and expand the reputation of the firm, some ancient firms would use the method of guessing lantern riddles to present lanterns made by the firm to the passing crowd. Or other rewards to show off.
In addition to these, the Lantern Festival has another meaning, that is, it has the reputation of the first "Valentine's Day" in ancient China, which is earlier than the recognized Qixi Festival as Valentine's Day.
On the day of the Lantern Festival in ancient times, the daughter who was originally locked up by her parents and could not easily meet strangers would get the approval of her parents to go out to enjoy the lanterns on this day.
It is also the only day in a year when my daughter who has not left the cabinet can play happily until late at night.
On this day, not only the daughters who have not left the cabinet will visit the lanterns, but also those ignorant young men will also go out in costumes on this day, hoping to meet a close beauty.
Or take this opportunity to take a look at the words of the matchmaker, the unmarried daughter-in-law who was ordered by her parents, and the same bold daughter's family, will also take this opportunity to see what her future husband will be like People, whether they are a good match.
Therefore, on the day of the Lantern Festival, the streets at night are illuminated by various lanterns. There will be many young men and daughters who have not left the court, wandering in the streets, looking at the lanterns, and at the same time they have other goals in their hearts.
In the name of lanterns, they tested each other.
.....
.....
On the day of the Lantern Festival, Zhang Yan came up with a whim, and decided to go out of the palace to take a look at the folk night market lanterns in the capital.
And on the premise that no entourage should be followed, Li Mu was only allowed to take the five girls out of the palace to watch the lanterns.
For this proposal, Li Mu refused at first.
Because it can be seen from "Dream of Red Mansions" that no matter in the original plane or in ancient times, there are human traffickers. Otherwise, Cao Xueqin would not have written so many plots of kidnapping and trafficking women in "Dream of Red Mansions".
He was the only one who accompanied Zhang Yan's five daughters out of the palace to watch the lanterns. It was inevitable that there would be things that he couldn't take care of, and some unruly people would get a chance.
In that case, Li Mu would not regret his death, even if he turned the whole capital upside down afterwards and beheaded those criminals who coveted his woman's beauty, it would not be worth the loss.
In the end, Li Mu agreed, because Zhang Yan made a condition that he could not refuse.
That is, the purpose of Zhang Yan's proposal to go out to the palace to visit the lanterns is to let Li Mu spend more time with these women when he leaves.
Faced with Zhang Yan pulling Zhou Yu'er to pretend to be pitiful and pleading, Li Mu had no choice but to nod in agreement, and accompany them out of the palace to go shopping with lanterns.
The only condition is to bring a servant, bring Wei Zhongxian with him, so that he can do some chores.
Zhang Yan readily agreed to this request.
Li Mu naturally smiled in his heart.
.......
.......
night.
A side door of the palace.
Li Mu, dressed in plain clothes, stood at the side of the side door, waiting for Zhang Yan's five daughters to come over. When he was bored, he looked at Wei Zhongxian who was waiting by his side.
"Wei Gong, have all the things I ordered to be placed in the Osmanthus osmanthus Hall been put away?"
Decided to leave the Daming plane and return to the original plane after the new year, he naturally had to be concerned about the goods he brought back. It can be said that the goods brought back to the original plane this time are very complicated and the number is also large.
"Returning to the Lord, the old slave has done everything according to the Lord's instructions. All the things are placed in the Osmanthus osmanthus Hall, and no one dares to touch it." Wei Zhongxian, who was dressed as a servant, replied respectfully.
What Li Mu ordered, he always took it as a top priority, even if it was a matter of the court, he had to stand aside.
"Well, after the Lantern Festival is over, on the [-]th day, Duke Wei will accompany me to the Osmanthus osmanthus Hall." Li Mu nodded, confirming the date of his departure.
Wei Zhongxian nodded and wrote down: "This old slave understands."
After chatting for a while, Wei Zhongxian saw a few figures appearing on the only royal road leading to this side door.
"Lord, the Empress Dowager and the others have arrived."
Hearing this, Li Mu looked at the other end of the imperial road, and through the night, he saw Zhang Yan's five daughters walking towards this side jokingly, so he smiled at the corner of his mouth.
When Zhang Yan's five daughters approached him and stood pretty in front of him, Li Mu could see clearly the outfits of the girls. Just like him, they were all plain attire, without any decorations to show their identity.
These robes, including those on him, were all sent to the palace by Wei Zhongxian, and there is no such plain plain clothes in this palace.
Seeing Li Mu sizing them up, Zhang Yan turned around and asked, "Husband, does this concubine's outfit look good? Is it too plain?"
"Yeah, husband, come and see if Yu'er looks good in this body?" Zhou Yu'er also turned around.
Only the three daughters Zhezhe stood aside dutifully, watching the turning bodies of Zhang Yan and Zhou Yuer, showing envious expressions from time to time.
"It looks good, the queen mother looks good in everything she wears, and so does Yu'er." Li Mu smiled and did not forget to praise Zhou Yu'er.
Just the next sentence exposed his true nature.
"However, I still like the empress dowager and the concubine when they don't wear clothes."
"My husband is playing tricks on my concubine and my sister." Zhang Yan was ashamed when she heard Li Mu's words, she stepped forward and punched her lover, and said, "Duke Wei is still here."
Although Zhou Yu'er next to him didn't step forward to beat Li Mu like Zhang Yan did, she also became shy and lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Haha." Li Mu laughed loudly without making any excuses.
Wei Zhongxian, who was standing by the side, was very heartbroken when he heard Li Mu's words, and hurriedly said: "The robes of the two ladies really shocked this old slave into heaven, and Feng Luan's contempt cannot be concealed. Now this old slave I began to worry that even if the two empresses change into plain clothes and go out of the palace, the common people in Liming will recognize their noble identities, this is really hard to hide the light of bright jade and pearls."
"Hee hee." Wei Zhongxian's flattery was very useful to Zhang Yan and Zhou Yu'er, and he laughed happily after hearing it.
For Wei Zhongxian's flattery, Li Mu couldn't bear to hear it, and interrupted: "Wei Gong is good at flattery."
"Hehe, this old slave is telling the truth, and so is the Lord..." As he spoke, Wei Zhongxian thought he had forgotten to flatter Li Mu, so he hurriedly made amends.
"Okay." Li Mu hurriedly interrupted, and let Wei Zhongxian continue. It was already dawn, and he turned to Zhezhe and the three daughters, and said, "Zhezhe, have you three changed?"
"Come back, master, Zhezhe and the three have changed." Finally having a chance to speak, Zhezhe took his niece and two to show Li Mu the changed robes.
Looking at the robes on Zhe Zhe's three daughters, which were the same as Zhang Yan's, but in different styles, he secretly thought that Wei Zhongxian was very good at handling things.
Seeing that Zhang Yan's five daughters were all ready, Li Mu ordered: "Yan'er, my husband wants to tell you that once you leave this palace, you should stop calling yourself Aijia, lest you accidentally reveal your identity. When traveling, it is best not to disturb the activities of the people."
"Understood my husband." Zhang Yan nodded with a smile, she understood this.
Li Mu looked at the other four girls and said, "You too, do you understand?"
"Understood my husband." Zhou Yu'er nodded.
"Understood." The three daughters Zhezhe nodded.
