Nowadays, the world is peaceful, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. When you have enough to eat and drink, you will think about enriching your spare time. No matter whether you are a prince or a commoner, you can’t do without eating, drinking and having fun. The folk customs are like this. Whenever there is a festival or something, you have to go to the whole city Celebrate.
The merchants in Chang'an are very happy about this, and they innovate and try their best to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.
But no matter how you play, the time is mostly limited to daytime. Chang’an City also has a curfew on weekdays, usually starting at the second watch and ending at 15:[-] am. There is only one day on the [-]th of the middle of the month. Night markets are allowed, and the curfew time can be postponed At the third watch, the lantern festival like today's licensed lifting of the ban, which lasts all night, is only once a year, that is, a few days before and after the Lantern Festival on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the lanterns can be put on for three nights in a row. From the nobles down to the ordinary people, they would go out to watch the lanterns, and even the emperor would celebrate with the people on the archway.
Because Tang Sanzang wanted to travel far to the west to obtain the scriptures to save all living beings. It was ordered early that from the day Tang Sanzang left, the curfew would be lifted for the whole city, just like the Lantern Festival, and lanterns would be displayed for three consecutive days to celebrate together.
The sudden addition of such a benefit made the people of Chang'an excited, and craftsmen of all sizes were looking forward to this day. As soon as Tang Sanzang left, the people of Chang'an immediately beat the gongs to send Yudi off to the west, waiting for the evening. arrival.
As the sun sets and the moon rises, the lights of the city are competing to bloom. The lights are as bright as day, pedestrians are like flowing water, and the roads are blocked by cars and horses. Especially in front of those well-made lanterns, the inner, outer, and inner floors are full of people, and it is difficult to turn around.
All the noble ladies were still waiting in the car, but after waiting for a long time, they found that they couldn’t get through, so they simply took the maid out of the car, walked in the car, and completely blended into the crowd.
There are various types of dragon lanterns, palace lanterns, gauze lanterns, and dragon and phoenix lanterns. They are painted with patterns such as landscapes, flowers and birds, fish and insects, and figures. Square, hexagonal, octagonal, and round beads are fairly common. Flower baskets, Pisces, Fang Sheng, gourds, etc. are too numerous to handle.
There is a lamp with a picture of Xian'e drawn on it, and the owner hangs it in front of the stall, and it will automatically turn on without wind, and it looks like Xian'e is dancing.
Ji Liuyue was fascinated by the amazing craftsmanship, and she didn't leave for a long time. She stood there and looked up at the lantern, poking it cautiously with her fingers from time to time. The dim candlelight sprinkled on her body through the lantern. On his face, there was a little more softness and tranquility.
Lu Ya stood behind her, his mind moved slightly, he only felt that it should be like this for a long time to be quiet. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to let go of everything and enjoy this rare silence.
After watching for a long time, Ji Liuyue's eyes lit up, she turned her head and said with a smile, "Lu Ya, I understand why!"
Lu Ya was startled, and took two steps forward and asked, "Why?"
Ji Liuyue pointed at the lantern, and introduced: "Look, the movements of Xian'e on each side of this lantern are different. The skeleton in the middle has been specially processed, and each side is movable. There is a small wheel on the top of the lantern. , connected to each side of the lantern, after the candles are lit, the heat evaporates upwards, the original air is squeezed down to form the wind, and the wheels turn, and the fairy is also turning, so it looks like the fairy is dancing .”
Lu Yashen didn't belong, in fact, he didn't hear what she was saying at all, and just murmured: "I see."
After reading for a long time, she finally understood, Ji Liuyue was very satisfied, and said with a smile, "Let's go now."
Lu Ya came back to his senses: "Don't you want this lantern? If you like it, why don't you buy it?" Then he prepared to pay for it.
Ji Liuyue hurriedly stopped him, shook her head and said, "No need, the lantern is good, but it's not for me, wouldn't it be better to stay here for more people to appreciate?"
Lu Ya frowned, a little puzzled, and Ji Liuyue smiled and stopped explaining. There are so many beautiful things in the world, how can they all be kept in the bag? After seeing it, it is enough. The more you want , the more you lose, greed is the worst thing to do.
The two watched and walked, chatting casually. As they walked, the flow of people became more and more, and they were surrounded by a sea of people before they could react.
And not long after they left, another man in black clothes with indifference written all over his body came to the booth. He watched the revolving lanterns turn and turn, his eyes gradually softened, and his hair was tied with a jade crown. At the back of his head, the side face was cut like a knife, and he was extraordinarily handsome. The slightly raised corners of his mouth softened his hard temperament a lot, and the older girls and daughter-in-laws who passed by couldn't help but look at him.
"My lord, do you like this lamp?" Seeing him staring at him for a long time, the proprietress couldn't help but stepped forward to strike up a conversation.
The man's eyes were still focused on the lamp, and he replied: "This lamp is very delicate."
She likes these gadgets the most, and she should also like this lamp, right?
Received the compliment, the proprietress smiled very happily: "Oh, sir, you really have vision, this lamp in our house is a good one made this year, look at the workmanship, the painting on it is still in the city. It was drawn by a famous painter, whether it is for your wife or sister, it is very appropriate!"
The proprietress said and leaned closer, with a secret look on her face: "Just now, there is a girl who really likes it. I watched it for a long time, but unfortunately the gentleman who was with her was so stingy, and he refused to pay for it. The girl turned around and left, if I told you, he would have to buy it later, otherwise the girl would not calm down, you said you were so stingy, how did you get a wife?"
The proprietress talked endlessly, the man turned his head, his eyes sparkled: "Mother, tell me, if you give this lamp to her, will she be happy or calm down?"
The proprietress was stunned: "Her? Which her?"
The man sighed: "My wife, he has been angry with me for a long time."
The proprietress slapped her thigh: "That's a must! If you give this lamp to Madam, how angry you will be! This lamp is our family's signboard, and we would only sell it if we guessed the crossword puzzle correctly. There are quite a few people down, I think you are a real man, Mr. Lang, you are so handsome and you are so kind to your wife, that's all right, I'll make the decision, I don't need to break the crossword puzzle, I'll sell it to you directly!"
"In that case, I would like to thank the lady boss!" The man said as he took out the money from his pocket and handed it over, and even gave him a smile.
The proprietress took the money in a daze, took down the lamp and handed it to him, watched the man go away, pinched herself secretly, screaming in her heart, ouch, she looks so pretty when she smiles, I don’t know which lady is so lucky .
The man took the lamp and took two steps forward. Seeing the crowd in front of him, he turned his feet and walked in another direction.
Ji Liuyue struggled to squeeze out from the crowd, rubbed a few pieces of ashes on the corner of her clothes, finally found a place that was slightly open, and breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't noticed on weekdays that Chang'an City had so many people.
Lu Ya also squeezed out, fanning the wind with a fan, looking like a romantic nobleman, if you don't look at his messy hair, shoes that have been stepped on for a few times, and crooked accessories, you will More like that.
The two looked at each other in dismay and looked at each other's slightly embarrassed appearance. They felt that the usual tone of high mountains, flowing water, sunshine, spring and white snow was gone. After staring at each other for a while, they suddenly laughed together. mask.
"Why do so many people suddenly appear?"
Lu Ya put his left hand on his forehead and forgot to forget: "It seems that the dragon lantern dance is coming, do you want to go and see it?"
"No more." Ji Liuyue quickly waved her hand, thinking of the crowded scene just now, she felt lingering fear.
The two continued to walk forward and came to a bridge. The river was filled with lotus lanterns, stretching away like a long river of lights. The boys and girls by the river continued to place lotus lanterns on the river one by one. , closed her eyes and prayed piously, Ji Liuyue was suddenly in a trance, as if she suddenly saw the scene where Yang Jian took her to release the river lantern many, many years ago.
At that time, they probably didn't expect such an ending in the end, did they?
"Look, what is this?"
Suddenly, Lu Ya poked her arm, and she came back to her senses, only to see lanterns flying up and down in the sky all around, one after another, like a river of stars.
The people around were surprised, pointing to the lantern in the sky and whispering, as if they didn't understand why such a scene appeared. On the upper reaches of the river, a man with a revolving lantern looked at the lantern in the sky and frowned slightly. Which fairy is this? Are you afraid of disturbing the hearts of the people by doing this?
With a shake of his hand, the lamp disappeared from his hand, his momentum changed, and he turned into a serious face again, looking around.
On the lower reaches of the river, Lu Ya looked at Ji Liuyue who was looking up at the sky with a smile, and asked, "Is it pretty?"
Ji Liuyue nodded: "It looks good!"
"That's good. You'd better smile more. Melancholy shouldn't appear on your face." Lu Ya retracted his fan and waved his hand, and lanterns continued to float in the air one after another: "You Look, although today’s lighting is different from yesterday’s, it’s not worse than yesterday’s, and there may be more beautiful ones tomorrow, and it’s not a pity that yesterday is gone, it’s just a matter of seeing it, and there’s still tomorrow.”
Ji Liuyue was startled, then relieved, and bowed to thank: "Thank you, Brother Dao, but let's return the lantern. It's not easy for a craftsman to earn some money."
Lu pressed his forehead, with a helpless expression on his face: "Okay, okay, go back."
After speaking, he muttered to himself while doing the practice: "The one who doesn't understand the style is talking about you!"
"What did you say?" Ji Liuyue couldn't help asking when she saw that Lu Ya's lips were moving slightly, but she couldn't hear what he said.
Lu Ya quickly waved his hand: "Nothing, nothing!"
Ji Liuyue turned around, put her hands on the stone railing of the bridge, looked at the lotus lanterns full of the river, and the lanterns flying all over the sky, with beautiful eyes, she couldn't help but smile.
Huh?Who is that?She withdrew her smile and looked straight at one place.
"what happened?"
Ji Liuyue took two steps forward and looked over carefully: "I seem to see an acquaintance."
Who is the person over there who is busy arranging the lanterns with a smile like a flower, if not Yang Chan?Why didn't Yang Chan stay in Huashan and go to Chang'an?Wait, who is that next to her? !
The merchants in Chang'an are very happy about this, and they innovate and try their best to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people.
