fifteenth quarter moon

After dinner, Fuxian City was brightly lit, and together with Li Huwei, six people, big and small, went out to visit the night market, Yu Xuanyou was the most unhappy among the group.After all, all the money was looted, but fortunately, the little brat in front of him even shared his own bag, so in the end, he could only comfort himself like this.

Nalan Xianyue said: "Guard Li, what kind of festivals does Fuxian City have in previous years?"

Li Huwei said: "This Chinese New Year is naturally a Lantern Festival! It happens every year, so it's very lively!"

Fifteen said: "Then there will definitely be one this year?"

Li Huwei said: "It depends on the idea of ​​the city lord!"

Fifteen: "This is a custom, how can it be determined by the moon."

Beiling said: "Young master is the lord of the city!"

Fifteen instantly understood: "Oh, so that's the case. To hold such a grand event, it is natural to go through the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Nalan Xianyue said: "This traditional lantern festival must be indispensable, from the first day to the fifteenth day of the new year, it must be lively and lively!"

Shiwuxi said: "That's right, this is the first year we spend together with my brother. It will be very lively when we add some programs at that time!"

Beiling said: "Does the lady of the city lord have any good suggestions?"

Fifteen: "Since it's a Lantern Festival, it's unavoidable that there will be lanterns. At that time, every street must be hung up."

Beiling said: "You said the whole city!"

Li Huwei said: "In the past, it was enough to hang lights on the central street, but the price for the whole city is a bit high!"

Beiling said: "Although this lantern is cheap, if it is too much, it will be a lot of money. Besides, the funds of the City Lord's Mansion are not so much!"

Fifteen frowned and said, "Indeed! That's a question. By the way, Lingling, how much did those lotus lanterns cost in Xuanyang City?" Speaking of the lantern festival, Fifteen couldn't help but think of the messy night that moved him.The lanterns all over the sky are flying up, and I am still intoxicated after a few months and fifteen.

Beiling looked at how much Nalan Xianyue spent on this, he really didn't know.All I know is that it was the biggest expense since Qianji Pavilion was founded, and it might not even be that much money used to sponsor the war away from the country!" Well, I really don't know the specific expense, besides, it was given by the son to his wife Yes, it's worth the extra!"

Yu Xuanyou: "Are you saying that you set off the lotus lanterns that filled the sky in Xuanyang City!" It was Yu Xuanyou's most unlucky time at that time, but someone even put out lanterns to celebrate.

Beiling said: "That day, the son and the fifteenth wedding, of course we have to celebrate!"

Yu Xuanyou could only say: "Hehe!"

Li Huwei said: "City Master, how should the lanterns be arranged this year, is it the whole city or a street?"

Nalan Xianyue simply replied: "The whole city!"

Li Huwei will have a headache now. The city lord said that the whole city has been destroyed, but they have to handle things like government soldiers. In previous years, a single street was already a lot of trouble. What should we do with the whole city!But the city lord's order had to be obeyed.

Yu Xuanyou said: "I said, Lord City Master, you are trying to use the public to favor your own interests!" As soon as I heard it, I knew that Nalan Xianyue was talking about the whole city when fifteen said it.

Beiling said: "My lord, but this official salary is not enough at all. Do you have to extract it from Qianji Pavilion?"

Fifteen said: "Oh, no need, you guys don't use your brains, this Chinese New Year is not only celebrated by the city lord's mansion, every household in this city must celebrate it! You just need to visit the residents and ask them to hang up a few more lanterns, distribute Well, isn't that the solution?"

Nalan Xianyue said: "This is a good idea! Just follow what Fifteen said!"

Li Huwei said: "Succeed, the subordinate will give orders in the morning!"

Nalan Xianyue said: "Remember to allocate it well, and if there are lanterns, there will be a fire. The safety of the people must be cautious!"

Fifteen said: "Well, my brother is still thoughtful. By the way, since there is a lantern festival, there must be a lantern show. Has this lantern show been held in previous years?"

Li Huwei: "It's just that some merchants have done something to attract customers."

Fifteen said: "Then this time, the city lord's mansion will hold it, and reward those exquisite and beautiful lanterns. Choose the most beautiful lantern and hang it in the center of Fuxian City, and hang the others on the street. Wouldn't it be a little less money?"

Li Huwei couldn't help but admire the two of them again. The past city lord would not have thought of this.Although the annual lantern festival is held on time, it is just to look at the lights, which is very perfunctory.

"By the way, brother, we can also hold some talent show competitions, as well as painting, couplets, word puzzles, etc. These are essential." Fifteen is when he is happy, and these attentions are a quick effort It just popped out of my head.

Nalan Xianyue said: "These are good, they need manpower to buy them!"

Li Huwei said: "Don't worry, the city lord, I know a lot of people here in Fuxian for celebrating the New Year. Everyone wants to have a happy and lively New Year. They will definitely help."

Beiling said: "If that's the case, let's do it! Start tomorrow and prepare for the battle!"

Fifteen just happened to see a lamp hanging from a street vendor in front of him, and that lamp was very round, and there were two red carps on the lamp paper.Going forward, he picked up the lamp and said with a smile: "Why don't you start now! I think this lamp is very beautiful!"

Everyone smiled.

The eve of the first day of the new year was New Year's Eve, and the sound of artillery was heard before it was dark. Everyone in the City Lord's Mansion was home for the New Year's Eve dinner, and a group of five people came to the place where Nalan Jincheng lived.

The place is still small, but after Dan Ji cleaned it up, it finally looks more like home.Eating and drinking is a joy.

Fengfeng was even more sweet-mouthed: "Left to the left, right to the word grandpa, Nalan Jincheng is so happy!"

In order not to make the atmosphere awkward, Nalan Xianyue taught Fengfeng to call Dan Ji and Grandma Dan when they first met.

Until late at night, the excitement receded.Dan Ji was still tidying up the house, Nalan Jincheng didn't say anything when she saw her, and turned back to the house without saying a word.

First day

The streets of Fuxian City were bustling from daytime to evening. Even the cold weather couldn’t stop the enthusiasm for the New Year. As night fell, Nalan Xianyue handed Fengfeng to Beiling and Yuxuanyou, then pulled Shiwu and left up.

Yuxuan was discouraged and said: "Hey, it's hard for this person to be short! I have to help them take care of their children!"

Beiling said: "Don't sigh! Watch the child carefully."

Yu Xuanyou looked helplessly at the cute boy in front of her and let Fengfeng hold her hand and said, "Hold on firmly! Don't get lost!"

Fengfeng also held the hands of the two of them tightly and the three of them were going to go to the Lantern Festival.

Nalan Xianyue took Fifteen Ke and flew all the way to a mountain top in the suburbs, where one can overlook the entire Fuxian City.

Of course, Shiwu also understood the purpose of Nalan Xianyue bringing him here, because this is exactly what Shiwu wanted to do.As night falls just wait for the city lights to come on.

The first thing to light up was the lamp in the center of Fuxian City. There was a tall stone pillar in the center, and the lamp was placed on that stone pillar.The lamp is still moving, like petals unfolding bit by bit.

Fifteen, who was originally sitting, suddenly stood up because he saw a huge lotus lantern, "Brother, that lotus lantern?" Originally, the stone pillar was placed for the winners of the lantern competition, but Nalan Xianyue took the lead. up.

Nalan Xianyue said with a high air: "Why, it's so difficult that I can't send you up to that pillar!"

Fifteen laughed and said: "Enough, of course it is enough, brother's lamp is the best!"

Satisfied, Nalan Xianyue pulled Shiwu's hand to signal him to sit down, and Shiwu sat beside him leaning on Nalan Xianyue.The lotus lanterns were all turned on, and other lights slowly lit up from the center of the city.The one around the center unfolds in turn.

Although Shiwu came up with this idea, and imagined what it would be like when it really lights up, he was still surprised by the situation in front of him.

"Brother, you have put a lot of thought into this!" Turning around, she found Nalan Xianyue looking at her.

"As long as you like it!"

The lanterns of the whole city were lit up, followed by bursts of fireworks flying into the sky and exploding.The fireworks are extremely gorgeous, and the sky at this time, Fuxian City is like daytime.It's like a grand event, but this is a grand event.

Fifteen "Brother, watch the fireworks, watch the lights, what do you see me doing?"

Nalan Xianyue said: "The lights in your eyes are much more beautiful than those!" As always, Nalan Xianyue felt happy when he saw the happy fifteenth day.

Fifteen suddenly faced Nalan Xianyue and said: "Xianyue, look, look carefully, there is nothing in my eyes, only you!"

Nalan Xianyue smiled lightly and embraced Fifteen Chao Fifteen with one hand and kissed her on the lips.

"Look, look! It's all your fault, it's been a long time, it's all lit up!" A woman's voice came from a bush not far away, interrupting the kiss between the two. , smiled awkwardly and had to sit silently watching the fireworks and lanterns, and listened to the conversation between a man and a woman next to him.

"Isn't this light on all the time! You're tired and sweaty! I'll wipe it for you!"

The woman said, "Didn't you see the lotus lantern in the center lit up?"

Man: "But you saw the most splendid appearance of it!"

"You are the only one who can talk!"

"Hey, if I can't speak, how can I convince your parents to marry you to me!"

The woman said coquettishly, "I hate it..."

Hearing this, Nalan Xianyue and Shiwu were embarrassed, they usually show their love and sweetness to others, but on this dark and stormy night, they were actually tired of others.

Fifteen leaned close to Nalan Xianyue's ear and whispered, "Brother, let's go! Leave this land to others!"

Nalan Xianyue was still a little unhappy in her heart, but she still nodded, it was unreasonable to let others go.

The two people next to them didn't realize that there was anyone here at all.

The streets are very lively. After all, it is Chinese New Year and there is no need to work. It can be said that people from every household are gathered on the main street.Misses from every family, young masters Pianpian, and anonymous laymen all came to the street for no other reason than to join in the fun.

Some merchants and hawkers are also ready to take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.

It is said that there are many laymen in Fuxian City, this is really not a rumor.And laymen are generally indifferent hermits like Luo Xi, so there are more people around those places who write calligraphy, paint, or couplets! And there are some rewards for these.

Fifteen looked at these and thought carefully, "Brother, can you win all of these on this street? Win the first place!"

Nalan Xianyue browsed around and said, "Most of them are fine!"

Fifteen: "Then let's start with this crossword puzzle!" Then he faced the vendor and asked, "Boss, how do you play this?"

The peddler said: "Guess the crossword puzzle, five taels of silver and ten questions, if you guess five questions correctly, you will get a clay figurine, and if you guess ten questions right, you will get a pair of Jinxiuyuan lanterns!"

Fifteen looked at the lanterns on the side. The two boxy lanterns were ordinary in shape but exquisite in workmanship. "Is this a pair?"

The merchant said: "Of course, Jinxiu Yuan is paired with lamps, and they are in pairs, a good marriage for a hundred years!"

Fifteen: "How is this different from other pairs of lamps?"

The peddler separated the two lamps without saying a word, and the lights inside went out. When the two lamps got together, the lights were lit again.

Fifteen saw it very much, and looked at Nalan Xianyue expectantly, "Brother..."

Nalan Xianyue gave the vendor five taels of silver to look at the densely packed branches hanging on the side railing.Pick one at will.

Fifteen took it over and read: "Clouds cover the moon?"

Nalan Xianyue immediately returned: "Yu, Yu Yu."

The merchant nodded.

Fifteen picked another one, "Oh, this one is a bit difficult!"

Nalan Xianyue: "It's okay, read it!"

Fifteen frowned and said, "There are dishes that can store things, mouths that can laugh out loud, hands that can pick things up, and birds that symbolize peace. Uh, what the hell is this?"

Nalan Xianyue smiled lightly, "It's not a ghost, it's a union. Some people store things in boxes, and some people laugh out loud..."

Fifteen: "I know, I'm laughing out loud! There are hands that pick things up, and birds symbolize peace. Doves symbolize peace, so they are doves. The answer to this riddle is really a ligature!"

There will be a lot of people watching.Just wait and see if Nalan Xuanyue can succeed in the challenge.

"Cross to cross, sun to moon."

"Morning"

"Uh, fifteen pairs of crescent moons!"

Nalan Xianyue: "..."

Fifteen: "Hey!"

"Break the box and discover talent!"

"group!"

"If you have a bad intention, you can't speak."

"Asia"

"Brother, that's amazing! He answered without even thinking about it."

The people next to him also began to praise, "This man is so amazing!"

"That's right, that's right!"

Nalan Xianyue said: "Continue!"

[-] "Oh, yes!"

The next few words were the same as before, Nalan Xianyue just came out as soon as the fifteenth day was read out.Jinxiu Yuandeng Deng Fifteen easily got it in his pocket.The two continued to challenge the next item.Nalan Xianyue seemed to be omnipotent after going through five stages and beheaded six generals, and it didn't take long for Fifteen hands to be filled with winning gifts.There are swords, daggers, dolls and so on.

"Nalan Xianyue, can't you get some for me?"

Nalan Xianyue turned around and looked at Fifteen, who was holding a pile of sundries and was still angry.

He picked up a long sword and said, "Isn't the Yueshuang sword bad?"

Fifteen: "Okay, of course!"

Nalan Xianyue: "Then what do you want him to do, don't want it! You can keep this dagger for self-defense." Then he looked around and said to the stick holding the Jinxiuyuan opposite lamp: "Just this lamp is fine. , you don't want those!"

Fifteen: "These are all earned by you!"

Nalan Xianyue whispered in Shiwu's ear: "I married you hard, I can't let you get tired!" Then she walked away with the lamp in her hand, "Follow me, don't get lost!"

Fifteen: "Ah..." Then with a smirk, he put those sundries in front of a vendor and said, "These are for you!...Brother, Xuanyue, wait for me!"
