He is from the end of the world

Eat as you say, without ambiguity at all.

The left and right houses are close to the street. During this time, almost all the three meals a day are settled on the street. Just in case, Mr. Lu specially sent Xunquan to buy some rice, flour, grain and oil, and ended up putting them in the kitchen. The bag could not be opened.

Candied lotus seed rice sieve, purple potato sesame cake pearl cake, scallion fried rolls with shrimp and rice rolls, crock pot noodle shredded chicken...the two of them are in heaven, and after a few days, they are a little bit reluctant to leave.

Just like the bowl in front of Mr. Lu, the fried peanuts are sprinkled in the center of the mixed golden brown noodles, and the edges are dotted with white scallion necks and emerald green scallion leaves.

The two of them finished their meal slowly, and Lin Chi touched his stomach as he walked, feeling that there seemed to be a lot more meat there.

Lu Ciyu caught a glimpse of his movements with the tip of his eyes, and couldn't stop laughing in his heart—he was the one who slept in his arms every day, so he had the most right to speak.How could Lin Chi be fat? To put it bluntly, it was his own psychology that caused the trouble.

The two held hands without hesitation on the street, and Lu Ciyu shook his arm: "Didn't you say there will be a lantern festival today?"

Lin Chi nodded: "It feels like time flies, it seems like I haven't done anything these days."

Mr. Lu has no expression on his face - he has been thinking about what to eat all day, and of course the days go by quickly.

No, it will be fifteen in a while.

The weather hadn't warmed up at this time, and he estimated that it would be dozens of degrees below zero. The people on the street were wrapped in layers, and the two people in the whole street were wearing the thinnest clothes.

Mr. Pian Pian's demeanor was completely frozen.

Of course, there are warm clothes inside, and cotton is always warmer than common clothes.

Mr. Lu has been inquiring about the environment and locations of the county since he moved into the house. Lin Chi stayed quietly and listened carefully. The two of them visited many places in the past few days. The basic map of the county is all Keep it in mind.

The place where the two of them walked out from the snack street happened to be at the end of the long street. It was dark early in winter, and the sky had already completely dimmed.

Coincidentally, just as the two of them were about to walk into the long street together, the lanterns on the left and right sides, as expected, lit up one by one in parallel, one after the other like dominoes. A gorgeous sea of ​​lights was woven from various colored lanterns.

Both of them were a little taken aback.

No matter how beautiful the ancient lamps are, they are not as colorful as the modern ones, but they have a characteristic that can never be surpassed-delicacy.

Every lamp here is handcrafted by craftsmen, and none of the tens of thousands of lamps on the entire street are exactly the same.Tent joints, tenon tenon joints, hollow carvings and bamboo carvings, each lamp is endowed with different intentions of the maker when it is manufactured, which can never be matched by streamlined production lines.

There were a lot of people on the long street, crowded and stumbling, Lu Ciyu held Lin Chi's hand tightly, and Lin Chi's wrist hurt a little even though he was so strong.

When he brought Lu Guixi out of the town, he mentioned that supernatural powers can only shield what the naked eye and senses see and hear, but their real existence will not disappear.

In case someone bumps into someone in the "empty place", it's not good to think that it's haunted, which is also the biggest weakness in his ability.

This long street is used to set up stalls for scattered merchants during the day. The road is wide and long, and it is much easier to walk through the later period when the crowds gather at the beginning.

Lu Ciyu breathed a sigh of relief when he felt the pressure decrease, and started to play with Lin Chi with less strength. Of course, the other hand still held Lin Chi firmly, not daring to let go.

In ancient times, the streets for this kind of trading had expressly stipulated when to close the stalls, unlike the modern night markets.Because this day was the Lantern Festival, the government specially issued a document to temporarily lift the curfew for one day like in previous years. Lu Ciyu estimated that these people would continue to make trouble until all night.

As expected, it is the most prosperous central government office county in Dachen, almost all the rare and exotic objects from all over the world gather here.

Obviously the theme is the Lantern Festival, but these clever vendors have long learned to change the concept secretly, and sell some special products in the name of the large traffic of the Lantern Festival. Anyway, for the merchants, earning money is the first priority. top priority.

The princes and brothers who came to join in the fun gave out money to buy things, and ordinary people who had no money to buy could also take this opportunity to feast their eyes on it. People from all walks of life were very satisfied, and the government turned a blind eye. What's more, these businessmen paid a lot of taxes.

These things on the street were nothing that could attract Lu Ciyu, he glanced at them and passed them by. What really impressed him was the variety of lanterns.

There are hexagonal and multi-cornered ones, portable ones, large hanging ones, painted flowers, people and landscapes. Lu Ciyu was almost overwhelmed by the workmanship of these lanterns. He has never resisted such delicate and exquisite things. ability.

He looked at it for a while, turned around and was about to leave, but the voice behind him forced him to stop.

"Brother brother-in-law?"

Lu Ciyu turned around.

Why did he forget that Lin Yang was also studying in the county? !

"Why are you here?!" Seeing them very surprised, Lin Yang whispered something to the few people who were walking beside him, and ran in front of them in a blink of an eye.

"I heard that the Lantern Festival in Anyang County is famous all over the world. I thought that I would come here to take the exam after the next year anyway, so I decided to come here now."

"It's really great! My brother and my brother-in-law definitely deserved this trip!" Lin Yang said with a smile, and the whole person spun around happily.

"Brother, brother-in-law, do you have a plan? How about going forward together!"

Lu Ciyu opened his mouth to refuse, but a man beside Lin Yang came over, "Yangzi, is this the brother-in-law you always talked about before?"

Lin Yang nodded: "That's right! Is my brother-in-law Pian Pian, a gentleman with a face as beautiful as a crown, Yan Rusong, Yu Yan as more beautiful than Pan An?"

The man thumped Lin Yang's chest: "Why did you use so many words when Mr. asked you to make a fuss?"

Lin Yang made a gesture and rubbed: "Isn't my brother-in-law too nice? These are all from my heart!"

The man introduced himself. He is a classmate in the same school as Lin Yang. He is also a student who also participated in this scientific examination. He is one of the few people who are mutual guarantees with Lin Yang.

Lu Ciyu hurriedly returned the gift.

The people around Lin Yang were all from the same academy, and because it was the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the teacher gave them two days off and let them handle the time on their own.

Lu Ciyu greeted everyone one by one.

Although Lin Chi accepted Lu Ciyu's setting of being a scholar, he suddenly stiffened when he saw these strangers who were also reading sage books.

He looked at Lu Ciyu's speech and behavior among them without stage fright, and he only felt that he was the one who shouldn't be here, and felt that he had nowhere to rest.

Even the joy of seeing my younger brother was not much left.

From the moment Lin Yang appeared, Lu Ciyu's attention was mostly on Lin Chi. Seeing Lin Chi's appearance, he could only say that Lin Yang did something bad with good intentions.

He knew that Lin Yang was afraid that the two of them were not used to coming here for the first time, and wanted to go forward together to help them, but the child didn't notice his brother's mood at all...

Still a child after all.

Mr. Lu has no interest in pleasing these people. The reason why he is willing to "condescend" to stay here is because of the blood relationship between Lin Yang and Lin Chi. Everything about him is centered on Lin Chi. Seeing Lin Chi like this There was no longer any sense of small talk.

Therefore, when someone in the crowd asked which gentleman Lu Ciyu studied under, Lu Ciyu replied directly: "There is no gentleman."

The eyes of several people changed instantly.

student?No guidance from Mr.

Funny?

They racked their brains and devoted themselves to worshiping a great Confucianist, so that a letter of recommendation from the husband can make the official career easier and higher. For them, the letter of worship from the husband is the key to knock on the door. Seeing that Lu Ciyu looks decent, I didn't expect...

Those people just stopped talking.

Others asked curiously which school he was in, but Lu Ciyu still answered correctly.

Now the rest of the people's eyes also changed, and their attitudes became significantly colder.

Want to be a scholar without even going to a serious school?When you are a scholar, how many cabbages can you hit if you turn your head around?

Lin Yang obviously didn't expect such a development, he froze on the spot and didn't know what to do.

Lu Ciyu knew what they were thinking, it was nothing more than the fact that he knew a few words somewhere and then started dreaming about the science exam.

Lu Ciyu was also lazy to restore their image, or this was the result he wanted. He took Lin Chi's hand and was about to leave, but the man who had just asked him stopped him again.

"Master Lu is leaving now? Why don't you stay a little longer?"

"Maybe it's because I found myself ignorant and shameless."

Lu Ciyu didn't care either, and said with a smile, "Exactly."

Lin Yang waved his hands desperately to stop them, but the group of people ignored him.

"Mr. puts his heart and soul into preparing lecture papers for me every day, and I don't understand the meaning after reading them several times. Mr. Lu can take the entrance examination for children just by reading a few books for a few days. Any secrets to teach younger brother?"

Lu Ciyu raised his eyebrows: "I'm ashamed to say, I don't have any secrets for now, but I have a few words of experience."

"Oh? Is it possible for my younger brother to learn?" The man regained his energy.

"Maybe I'm smarter than others. It's innate, and others can't learn it."

The man wanted to attack, but held back because of his image.

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate for a moment.

"It's started, it's started!" Many people surrounded him at some point behind him.

When Lu Ciyu turned around, he heard passers-by chatting behind him: "This store is very famous during the Lantern Festival in Anyang County."

"Other shopkeepers sell colorful lanterns, but the owner of this shop only sells blank lanterns."

"Huh? Who would buy a blank lantern?" asked another person.

"Isn't that what it is? This boss brings a large number of blank lanterns and pens, inks, papers and inkstones every year. Whoever pays a sum of money can draw and write on the corresponding lanterns. You can write whatever you want. From time to time, the boss will choose the ones he likes according to his own mind and give them mysterious gifts."

"What kind of rule is this? Will anyone come?"

"Of course, because the price of blank lanterns is much cheaper than other houses, and you can create on them according to your own preferences, the boss's business is very hot."

Lu Ciyu heard some tricks for a while, isn't this the ancient version of DIY?

"I heard that a young man wrote a four-line poem on a lantern a few years ago, and gave it to Xinyue's brother in the name of giving the lantern to express his love. But that stupid brother couldn't understand the meaning of the poem, so he still I thought it was a tribute to their friendship, so I accepted it indifferently, alas, I really missed that cold and beautiful face for nothing."

"I still remember the boy's expression at that time. Hahahaha, I want to laugh when I think of it, but the boy's face is really scary when he looks down."

……

"It sounds like Mr. Lu is very interested in this lantern?" the man asked.

"There are some."

"It's not as good as this." The man seemed to have thought of something: "We each draw a lamp, and the shop owner will evaluate the result then?"
