Chapter 359 Xuande Downstairs Lights Like Day
Jiang Liu, who got into the crowd, hid behind a lantern shelf with his sister and brother to peek at his father and Mrs. Yazheng. The two of them each carried a lantern, one wore an ivory white meticulous brushwork landscape robe with a round neck, the other wore a plain azurite-pigmented face makeup coat, one was absolutely beautiful in the world, and the other had a dusty temperament. .
Jiang Muyan worried, "Will my father take his wife to a place where he shouldn't go, or feel annoyed and leave her halfway and walk alone?"
Jiang Liu is worried about who pays the bill when buying things. "My father doesn't have the habit of carrying a purse, and Jiang Hou'er also ran away. I won't ask my wife to pay for shopping later, right?"
Shu Qiu, who was behind her, said confidently, "Don't worry, girl, you won't. In the whole West City, the second master can take whatever he wants. He pays to buy it, and the store has to worry about him."
Yes, Jiang Liu nodded.
Jiang Ling took her sister's hand, "Didn't my sister say that she wants to put lanterns, let's go."
Jiang Liu, who didn't see his father and Mrs. Yazheng holding hands, stood up regretfully, and looked at the sea of lanterns with golden and green lanterns, and was very excited, "Where are the lanterns made by this girl? Let's go, let's put the lights on. go"
Qinqing immediately presented the lanterns, Shu Qiu muttered behind his girl, "Look, girl, many people wear masks, can we buy a few to play with?"
In addition to viewing lanterns, Shangyuan Lantern Festival also has a variety of entertainment activities, thaumaturgical abilities, singing and dancing, and countless operas. Not so prosperous. Wearing a mask to visit the lanterns is very popular among young men and women. Because masks can cover their faces, allowing them to swim, watch dances, and listen to plays without any scruples.
"It's good to wear a mask, let's pick a few." Jiang Liu took his brother and sister to pick a mask. Jiang Ling liked the green-faced and fang-like mountain spirit monster mask, but he was afraid that it would scare his sister if he put it on, so he chose a white tiger, while Jiang Liu and Jiang Muyan chose the puppy and goat masks. Shu Qiu chose a little pig to put it on his face and shook his head proudly.
Qin Bai asked in a low voice, "Why does Sister Shuqiu make the girl wear a mask? Wearing a mask to cover her face, it's hard to find if you get lost."
"You can still be recognized by the clothes and hair accessories when you are separated. The girl is too beautiful, so she should cover her up." Shu Qiuzhen said in a plausible manner. In fact, she thought the girl's lanterns were too ugly. People laughing, wearing a mask to put on the lights.
for this? Qin Bai whispered, "The one who should wear the mask the most should be the second master." The second master's face was too ostentatious.
Er Ye Jiang, who was left hanging by the children, pretended to be nothing, and raised the lantern to the front of Ya, "Nanwang Lone Star Brow Moon Rising, what word should it be?"
Mrs. Yazheng also pretended not to be embarrassed, and guessed, "Up north and down south, 'Nanwang' should be the lower part of the word for hope, that is, the word 'wang'; a little bit of 'Lone Star', a swipe of 'Browning', the three Unity should be…”
Jiang Erye's peach eyes lit up, "Zhuang!"
Before waiting for Mrs. Yazheng to say anything, the old man who sold the lamp immediately said loudly, "Second Master is so talented, I guessed it right away!"
The corners of Jiang Erye's mouth were raised, and he said modestly, "It's not Master, it was Mrs. Yazheng's guess."
"Mrs. Yazheng is your daughter-in-law who hasn't been through the door, and the wife's guess is also the second master's guess!" The old man cheerfully took down the smallest but most beautiful lamp on his stall, and handed it to Jiang Erye with both hands. "This is the lucky draw for the second master to guess the lantern riddle."
Although this lamp is small, it is a boneless lamp made of colored glass. After Xin'an paid tribute to the boneless lamp last year, this year, the vendors in Kang'an also began to sell Xin'an boneless lamp. This small one costs dozens of taels. silver. Jiang Erye refused to take advantage of the stall owner, so he lifted the jade and pointed at the masks on the shelf, "Could I replace us with two masks? It's very novel to see the masks on your stall."
"Second Master has good eyesight. My mother-in-law drew these masks, so she doesn't like these strange things." The old man smiled with a wrinkled face, and showed and explained the masks one by one in front of the second master.
Jiang Erye picked two pleasing ones and handed one to Yazheng, "This one is also interesting."
Mrs. Yazheng saw that the second master put on the mask, so she raised her hand and covered the mask on her face.
The mask covered Jiang Erye's beautiful face, causing the women who were secretly following him to sigh regretfully. Jiang Erye and Mrs. Yazheng walked along the flow of people and were almost scattered by the crowd. Madam Yazheng endured her shyness, and took the initiative and secretly pulled a little sleeve of Jiang Erye's sleeve, feeling nervous and excited.
Jiang Erye found that she was one step behind, so he slowed down half a step, protecting her slowly forward in the stream of people, "Long live tonight will be watching the lanterns upstairs in Xuande. The colorful images of Manjusri Bodhisattva riding a lion and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva riding a white elephant are erected on the left and right of the mountain. The Bodhisattva's arms can move, and his hands point out the five paths of living water, like a waterfall in the mountains. There are tens of thousands of lamps on each side of Changle Gate. The formed lantern dragon, let's go to see the excitement too?"
Mrs. Yazheng also heard that Long Live this year will go to the Xuande Building on Changle Gate to enjoy the lanterns, and she was also a little curious, but, "Will there be many people there?"
Outside the palace is the imperial city where the six departments, nine temples and five prisons and yamen are located. Usually, people are not allowed to enter or leave casually. This time, the seven gates from east, west, south, three sides of the imperial city are opened, and the people of Kang'an will surely flock to see the flourishing lanterns. . At this hour, can they still squeeze in?
Jiang Erye said confidently, "Let's enter through Shunyi Gate, which is guarded by a police officer. I have already asked for a token from the Dali Temple Secretary Xiao. After entering the imperial city, we will pass through Dali Temple, which leads directly to Changle Gate. outside."
"Second Master can actually take the token from Master Xiao?!" Mrs. Yazheng exclaimed.
"What's so difficult about this? It's just a trivial matter." Under the mask of Shan Jing, the corners of Jiang Erye's mouth were raised high, and he was very surprised. In order to take Yazheng and the children to see the lights, he spent a lot of time. He wanted to give the children a surprise today, but who knew that those three little things with no conscience left him and ran away alone!
So, Jiang Erye decided to take Yazheng only to see the lights, and then bought the most beautiful lamp outside Changlemen for Yazheng, and brought nothing for the three little things!
As we approached Beicheng, there were more and more people on the street. Jiang Erye looked at the young couples who were holding hands in pairs, clenched their fists and wondered whether he should hold Yazheng, which seemed a bit rude. Jiang Erye's face was hot, and he raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose. His fingers landed on the cold mask.
When he raised his sleeves, Yazheng immediately let go of his sleeves and lowered his head.
Jiang Erye got closer, protected her with his arms, and explained somewhat uncomfortably, "This way you won't be knocked over."
Yazheng thanked him and moved to the Shunyi Gate with him. Jiang Erye walked to the side with fewer people, showed his token, and led Ya Zheng into the imperial city.
"Long live, Jiang Chenxian brought Su Clan into the imperial city through Shunyi Gate." Yang Feng walked to the jade table and whispered beside Long live.
Today's description of the lamp market is based on Meng Yuanlao's "Tokyo Dream Hualu" in the Song Dynasty. However, my writing skills are not enough, and my writing is not as good as Meng Yuanlao's writing. , let everyone feel the Lantern Festival written by others:
"Sapphire Case Yuan Xi" Xin Qiji:
Dongfeng night blooms thousands of trees. More blowing, stars like rain. BMW carved cars fragrant all over the road. The sound of the phoenix flute moved, the jade pot turned brightly, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.
Moth snow willow golden thread. The laughter is full of fragrance. People look for him thousands of Baidu. Looking back suddenly, the man was there, where the lights were dim.
I'm really sorry today, I have a game tomorrow morning, so I have to prepare, and only update one chapter today.
I wish everyone a happy Dragon Boat Festival.
