"This year's Lantern Festival is no longer just about listening to songs, dancing, and reciting poems as before. This year our Lantern Festival will be held in the form of a competition, with a total of ten participating teams."

"The ten teams will present wonderful performances and lanterns prepared by each of them. The judge is every audience present! The ticket in the hand of each audience represents one vote. After the ten teams have finished their performances, they will Ten ballot boxes are placed in front of the stage.”

"Every audience can vote for their favorite team and lantern. The winning team will receive the first lantern plaque and be written into the county annals. The winning lantern will be named the King of Lanterns and presented to Beijing!"

This is another deception that Gong Ruixue negotiated with Mr. Fan in addition to seeking sponsorship from merchants... ah, no, it's a way to attract people.

Writing in the county annals is nothing more than recording in the county annals that a certain business firm won the championship in the lantern festival in such and such a year. When the Deng King enters the capital, it is true that he will be sent to the capital, but it is not certain whether the emperor will take it seriously. In the worst case, he will be sent to the Yonghe Palace.

But for merchants, these are very attractive conditions. Being written in the county annals means that it can be passed down from generation to generation. When the lamp king came to Beijing, the name of his shop was written on the lamp. What if it was taken a fancy by some nobleman?

Therefore, in preparation for this lantern festival, more than merchants signed up. After Gong Ruixue screened them (the one with the highest price will win), ten participating teams were finally selected!

The merchants who were kicked off the stage turned their attention to sponsorship when they saw that there was no hope of getting on the stage.

As a result, the entire street was laid out and the stage was built without any money from the Yamen. Those merchants couldn't wait to engrave the names of their stores on every beam of the stage!

Gong Ruixue watched helplessly as the final acknowledgment manuscript handed to Wu Feng changed from half a page to four pages and was about to increase. She hurriedly shouted stop, otherwise the merchants would have put their ideas on the floor tiles.

"After each team's performance, we will have a reserved item, an on-site lantern riddle guessing activity! There will be many interesting forms of lantern riddles, and the audience who guesses correctly can receive exquisite gifts provided by the merchants who sponsor us! The audience who does not guess correctly Don’t be discouraged, when leaving the lantern festival, everyone will receive an exquisite souvenir sponsored by Ningxiu Garment House!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the audience was in an uproar. They came in just to watch the show, but they didn't expect the Yamen to be so generous and gave everyone souvenirs!

Although they spent yuan to come in, they not only watched and enjoyed the singing and dancing and witnessed the birth of the Lantern King, but also received gifts. If they were lucky, they could also get more rewards for guessing lantern riddles! This wave is not a loss!

"Now we invite Mr. Fan, our parent from Sitai City, to come on stage and give a speech!"

Wu Feng trotted all the way, nodding and bowing to welcome Mr. Fan onto the stage. Although Gong Ruixue had corrected him many times during rehearsals, people in this era seemed to be suppressed by their bloodline when meeting officials, and they forgot about it when they were nervous.

Mr. Fan stood still in the center of the stage, looked at the pairs of eyes staring at him below, cleared his throat and said: "I am very happy to meet you here on a day like today. This year's lantern show will be the Four Thais." A major turning point for the City Lantern Festival, I hope you can leave wonderful memories today! The Lantern Festival has officially begun!"

The first one to take the stage was the Ningxiu Garment Team. Because the voting was at the end, everyone thought that the further back they came, the more impressive they would be.

Therefore, Gong Ruixue generously adjusted the order of appearance (auction) and ranked her team first, which no one wanted.

The lights dimmed and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded. The lights turned from dark to bright. Five girls in lavender dresses descended from the sky and landed lightly on the drums.

The crisp and ethereal drum beats sounded, one, two, neat drum sounds connected together.

Twenty-one women in purple stepped on the drum's head and struck the drum's head with their ball shoes, making a "dong-dong" sound accompanied by a clear "ding-bell" sound.

"Qingqing Zijin, my heart is so long, even if I don't go, Zi Ning will not follow the sound..."

The drum beats are accompanied by the girls' ethereal singing, and the grandeur and the tenderness of women are cleverly combined. The sound spreads through the stage's special amplification structure, giving it some just the right reverberation.

"Qing Qing Zi Pei, I think about it for a long time. Even if I don't go, Zi Ning won't come..."

When you tap your toes, your skirt blooms and your clothes fly, like blooming violets.

"This skirt is so beautiful. What kind of gauze is the lining? It's so light!"

"This purple is so bright. It's the first time I've seen such a beautiful purple!"

"Husband, have you ever seen clothes like this? I don't know which store they are from? I'll make one custom-made. How about this year's spring banquet in the capital?"

Almost all the girls were attracted by the clothes on the dancers, and every one of them wished that they could wear such beautiful clothes.

"The combination of the drum beats, silk and bamboo, and the chanting words... Qing Qing Zi Jin is in my heart... they really complement each other!"

The literati all praised the lyrics, music and the entire stage. Some even said that they felt like they were in a fairyland palace enjoying the music!

"I heard that Sita Textile Factory donated a batch of pure purple fabric this year? True purple cannot be used by the public, but this lavender color will definitely be very popular! I wonder if it is a team from Sita Textile Factory? I will go tomorrow Textile factories place orders!”

"Is that cloud-like gauze skirt also from Sita Textile Factory? Is this a new product? You must grab it!"

The businessmen saw the hidden commercial value in it, and the wallets around their waists began to move.

Most of the people in the private room had some doubts about themselves. Is this Sita City really the Sita City they remembered?
