In the huge city of Hongdu, there are row upon row of pavilions, pavilions, wine shops, and golden terraces, all of which are lanterns hanging high, cat lanterns, doll lanterns, Meng Jiangnu, Ziya sealing the magic lantern, twenty-four filial piety, and the Eighteen Pavilions of Smoke and Clouds.

The lanterns moved with the wind. In this noisy night, they were like the peonies blooming all night in Baima Temple, with different expressions and beautiful scenery. The crowd who had finished eating glutinous rice balls began to watch, and they were all interested in all kinds of lanterns.

Pointing at all kinds of lanterns, which lanterns are beautiful, which ones use good materials, whose lanterns have good-looking characters, whose lanterns have "Dong Yong" who is so handsome, everyone is sitting there, and there is a lot of noise.

The movie was higher than the previous one, and it was extremely hilarious. There were also many intellectuals, waving paper fans, chanting poems in front of the lanterns in the place where the ladies and girls stayed most, so as to attract the attention of some of the maids and girls.

This man chanted loudly: "Don't rush the leaking jade and copper kettles, the iron gates and golden locks are clear and open; who can sit idle when seeing the moon, and who can hear the lamp but not look at it."

The one immediately said loudly: "If there is a lamp without a moon, it will not miss anyone. If there is a moon without a lamp, it is not spring. When spring comes to the world, people are like jade, and when the lamps are burning, the moon is like silver. The streets are full of pearls and green girls, and the ground is filled with music and singing competitions."

God of society, how can you spend this good time if you don’t show your fragrance and open your mouth to smile?”

The voices rose and fell with each other, causing some maids and young ladies to cover their mouths and laugh, and many people were already looking at each other, secretly calling for tokens of love.

Some scholars, who could neither write nor sing poems, were so envious that they simply said to the riddles on the lanterns that they thought of a good thing that the old prime minister Wang Anshi of the former dynasty could use as a matchmaker.

This person pointed to a lantern and said, "On a moonlit night, there are only three parts of the world, and there is a small red building ten miles away in Yangzhou!" He immediately received a round of praise.

One of them had been thinking about a lantern for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Then he heard the sound of firecrackers, put away his paper fan and laughed and said, "I'm right, the high-burning red candle illuminates the sky, and the light spreads all over the ground!"

"Okay, okay, the high-burning red candles reflect the long sky, and the bright light spreads all over the ground. The low-level fireworks shake the earth, and the sound is loud and breathy. The confrontation is neat and seamless, which can be called a wonderful pairing. There is laughter and laughter everywhere, and it is extremely lively.

.It’s so joyful that it makes people’s hearts unable to feel sad.

In the elegant room of "Hanshan", the woman in green clothes still held her chin with her hands and looked out the window with a smile on her face. The silver-white moonlight shone on her body, giving her a faint halo, giving her an indescribable sense of beauty.

Come.

The man in white's eyes flickered, as if seeing her smiling face, there was a rare smile on his face.

The woman in green clothes murmured: "You know, I have never seen such a lively lantern festival. When I was a child, my family was poor. My mother couldn't afford paper or lanterns, so she told me that there were many lanterns when the lanterns were put on.

There are many interesting stories about lantern riddles, and I laugh happily every time, and then my mother brings

She would watch the lanterns with me, and if some wealthy families thought the lanterns were not good-looking, my mother would quietly pick them up and let me take them home. At night, I would draw beautiful characters on the lanterns and write a lot of them.

What about the lantern riddles? It’s just that no one looks at my lanterns, so no one can guess the lantern riddles. Haha...?"

The woman in green clothes smiled faintly, her eyes moved, and continued: "You know, at that time, I often followed my mother to enjoy the lanterns and listen to her tell stories. It was the happiest thing for me. Unfortunately, my mother later died of illness. I

She was sold to a brothel and spent all day practicing poetry, playing and singing, how to greet guests with a smile, how to accompany them with wine, and how to read people's faces. In more than ten years, I have never seen such a lively lantern festival again!

I love the scenery of the Lantern Festival, the moonlight is beautiful, the lights are brilliant. The moon is full of ice, the lights are burning on the land and sea, and people are stepping on the spring sun.

Only three good things can be rewarded, but four ruthless things are difficult to live up to. What I am afraid of is the dim light of the lights, the silence and desolation, the south tower in the corner, and the west wing under the moon."

Outside the window, cheers poured in like a tide. The woman in green clothes always smiled and looked out the window with an envious look.

The man in white finally stood up. He quickly glanced out the window with a sinister look, then slowly withdrew his gaze and fell on the smaller body of the woman in green clothes. He said softly, "Ziyi, go back, I'll do it for you."

Lanterns!"

The woman in green clothes nodded and turned her head. Under the moonlight, her face was like a peach blossom, extremely beautiful. She smiled sweetly at the man in white clothes and asked gently, "Can you, the great governor, make lanterns?"

The pale handsome face of the man in white turned red, and he said softly: "I don't know how, can you teach me?"

The woman in green clothes said: "You are so stupid, can you teach me?"

The man in white took a sip of wine and said, "Yes, can you teach me how to do it?"

The woman in green clothes smiled, moved her lotus steps slightly, leaned over, and gently stretched out her jade hand to hold the wrist of the man in white clothes.

The man in white blushed and said nothing. He stood up slowly and let the woman in green hold her arms and walk towards the door.

"Mom, do you know how to do it? This scholar is so useless? How can you not guess such a lantern riddle?" Wei Dake, who was close to the window, was drinking wine and scolding several scholars outside the window who were guessing lantern riddles.

more than.

After cursing a few words, Wei Dake suddenly turned around and glanced at the wine shop. He saw that many of the people among them were scholars. He pointed at one of them angrily and said, "You, just you, are facing this lantern riddle."

, if it doesn’t match? Watch your head? "

This person was none other than the person in the corner of Hanshan Mountain. Hearing Wei Ke Ke's words, he just frowned, but was not angry at all. He calmly said: "General, it's not difficult for ordinary people to solve lantern riddles.

Could you please tell me, General?"

Wei Da could see that this man was not afraid at all when he saw him, so he nodded and thought to himself: "Can't you tell how brave this scholar is?" He felt good in his heart, but he didn't feel too embarrassed. He listened to the loud voice outside the window.

Said: "Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not. It is like a fox, wolf, cat or dog, neither a domestic animal nor a wild beast."

The man recited it silently, nodded and said: "This is not difficult at all. Please listen, general. Common people are right. Poems are not, lyrics are not, and the Analects is not. It is vague about east, west, south, north. Although it is a short article, it is also wonderful.

arts."

The busy people in the wine shop are knowledgeable people, and a few of them boldly started cheering. Wei Dake also knew a few words. This riddle was simple and easy to understand, and it was not difficult to understand. He nodded and said "Hello!"

As he stood up, suddenly the general, who had been so arrogant just now, seemed to have seen a ghost. There was a "clang" sound, and the wine bowl in his hand fell and broke into pieces with a low voice.

The two young generals on the left and right stood up in unison, and the timid young general on the right took a step back, not even daring to raise his head.
