Seeing the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the city was much more lively in the morning, and these days of the New Year, except for the first day of the new year, some people came out to pay New Year's greetings and walked around, and the streets were deserted at other times.

It snowed early in the morning, and the weather was unusually cold, but this did not reduce the enthusiasm of the people to go out.

It seemed that the thieves outside the city would also go back for the festival, and on this day the city gate was deliberately opened for an extra hour and closed at noon. But when the people who entered the city went out, they had to wait until the afternoon when it was time to go out, and then they would be closed for half an hour.

The city was flooded with people at once, most of the inns were full, all the shops were open, and there were also many stallholders, all preparing for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in the evening.

According to Hui Niang's law, every year on this day, the county will be lively, and every household will come out to put sky lanterns, which is also the Shangyuan Festival custom of the Hakka people in Fujian.

The sky lantern is also the Kong Ming lantern, which is woven into a large outline bracket with bamboo strips, pasted with paper on the outside, and then lit with a block of candles in the center below, ready to fly, in fact, it is a type of hot air balloon, if it can go very high and far after flying into the sky, it is possible to achieve the things that Ming hopes for.

In the gathering place of the Hakka people in Fujian, almost every family will make sky lanterns, but there are many shrewd people who will make beautiful and fancy sky lanterns in advance and sell them on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and the business is still very good. If conditions permit, people will also write words on the sky lantern to express their blessings to distant relatives.

Hui Niang had already prepared things, and the two families could make one together, after all, the structure of the sky lantern was still a bit complicated, and only Hui Niang in the family could do it, and only she had the heart to do this.

By the time the production was completed, it was already noon, and the writing would be handed over to Shen Xi to do. Shen Xi wrote the words that entrusted the wishes of the whole family on a slip of paper and hung them on the edge of the sky lantern, even if it was a great success.

In the afternoon, Shen Mingjun, who had disappeared for two days, finally went home, but he didn't stay for an hour, and the Wang family was busy with the Yuan Festival and left in a hurry.

Zhou's scolding was actually blaming Shen Mingjun for "not understanding the amorous feelings", she dressed herself up beautifully, just waiting for Shen Mingjun to come back and be able to accompany her, but Shen Mingjun came and went in a hurry as before.

Shen Xi didn't see Wang Lingzhi for the past two days. Present ffff, m.⌒.co≦m

style_tt(); The whole family was preparing for the Shangyuan Lantern Festival at night, so he didn't have the heart to go to Wang Lingzhi to ask him how the task was completed.

After dinner, Hui Niang and Zhou took the family out.

Ninghua county is divided into the south and north of the city by the Xixi in the upper reaches of the Cuijiang River, the two sides are connected by the Shouning Bridge and the Longmen Bridge, of which the Longmen Bridge was built by the righteous people of the county Yi Yanzhong 22 years ago, eight years ago Ninghua rained for ten days in a row, the flood was flooded, the county was seriously affected, and the two bridges have undergone a severe test.

Xixi passes through Ninghua County and winds for several miles from the southeast to the northeast, and joins Dongxi to become an important tributary of the Cuijiang River in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River.

In order to ensure the safety of the city, Ninghua County has two water gates in the north and south on the Xixi, each water gate is composed of three iron fences, divided into the front railing, the middle column and the rear railing, which are controlled and opened by the soldiers on the towers of the city wall on both sides of the river. If there is a business traveler along the Min River, go directly to the wharf in the county, and pay a lot of money when entering the water gate.

Whether it is the sky lantern on the Shangyuan Festival or the river lantern on the Zhongyuan Festival, the people in the city will gather by the Xixi to put it.

It was snowing in the sky that day, and the river was frozen, but no one dared to go down because the ice was not thick.

Both sides of the river are densely packed with people. According to the convention, the sky lanterns should be lit together at a certain time, so that they can appear sincere, and everyone can make a wish together to be inspired by God.

There are many people and children, and adults watch their children carefully so as not to fall into the river. The width of Xixi is about sixty or seventy meters, and the deepest depth is five or six meters, and it is very dangerous to fall into it. Even if most of the children here in Fujian and Zhejiang know water, they can't get out of the ice cave in this winter.

With the beating of the drums, the night came, and the lights could finally be put on.

At first, in twos and threes, and then almost at the same time, all the sky lanterns were lit, and they flew into the sky one after another, and the colorful pieces of flower paper seemed to put on new clothes for the sky. The people who released the sky lanterns all stood on the bank of the river, praying sincerely to the gods, and the whole county was silent at this moment.

Shen Xi also followed Hui Niang and Zhou's to the night market, most of the temporary stalls were sold for food and play, and the expected lion and dragon dance, stilt walking, guessing lantern riddles and other entertainment activities were not found, which was very different from the Shangyuan Lantern Festival in his impression.

On this day, the people of the Yamen were very nervous, and it was easy to bring fire when they put the sky lanterns, and those sky lanterns flying in the sky did not know where they would fly, and many of them would burn obliquely when the north wind blew after liftoff, falling down like fireballs.

After returning home, Shen Xi especially stayed in the courtyard to observe whether there was such a "fireball" falling from the sky, but obviously he was too worried, the quality of the sky lanterns in these years was very poor, and those sky lanterns flying into the sky would soon be blown out by the strong wind, and the quality of the paper was not good, even if it burned before it landed, it would be burned clean.

"Lang, come in, there are rice cakes to eat." Zhou's voice came.

"Oh, I'll do it."

Shen Xi returned to the warm room, and soon the two families, including the three maids, sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals and ate rice balls together.

Hui Niang put down her chopsticks after eating two rice balls, and there was a faint trace of worry on her face: "The new shop will open for business tomorrow, I hope business can get better." ”

Zhou responded next to her, as the second shopkeeper of the pharmacy, Zhou didn't have too many constructive opinions on doing business, she just wanted to do what she should do well.

After eating the rice balls, Hui Niang suddenly said: "I'm so bored, Lang, the story you told that day was very good, and the big guys are all together today, you can tell it again." ”

Lin Dai looked at Shen Xi curiously, in fact, Shen Xi had finished telling the story of "Dream of Red Mansions", and she wanted to hear what else Shen Xi had to say.

In fact, in the whole "Dream of Red Mansions", Shen Xi just picked out important content and made it into a story to Lin Dai, and did not say anything to Lin Dai about the tragic ending of the whole story, just like the story told before, the ending is that the hero and heroine live happily together.

Shen Xi talked about the previous part again, and Lin Dai still listened very carefully, because Shen Xi's content was not exactly the same as before.

After listening to it for almost an hour, Hui Niang sighed with emotion: "Sister, Lang didn't see him go out and walk around, how could he hear such a moving story?" But the old man in the family told him? ”

Zhou patted the dregs of medicine stained on his body, and said angrily: "I don't know where I learned some ghost things, who has given him any stories?" It is possible that the old gentleman who appreciated him had told him. ”

Hui Niang was relieved.

The most important thing for the family to get together is to pick up medicinal herbs, and when the drum beats three times, they put down their work and go back to rest. Xiu'er was going to live in the new shop, but because of the snow outside, she was also left behind by Hui Niang.

Back at home in the back alley, Lin Dai was still a little distracted, or she was a little nostalgic when she heard the story of "Dream of Red Mansions" again. When she entered the room, Lin Dai suddenly grabbed Shen Xi and asked, "You have been beaten by Baoyu before, has Daiyu ever seen him?" ”

Shen Xi smiled, this story was skipped by him because of Lin Dai's sentence "deserved" before. Maybe it was later that she found out that Baoyu and Daiyu in the story were really in love with each other, and Lin Dai couldn't help but want to ask about the previous content.

Shen Xi naturally couldn't continue to tell Lin Dai about this.

After Baoyu was beaten, everyone went to visit and express their feelings, so that they could show Jia's mother. For example, Baochai personally "entrusted" the medicine to see, not to do it for the maid, not only to show concern, but also to publicize the meaning, almost shed tears during the visit, and finally to advise, educate Baoyu, you suffer from this disaster, don't blame others, first reflect on whether you have a problem. And these big truths were all told in front of Baoyu and the maids.

As for Lin Daiyu, she was the last to come, and she came quietly. The pair of crying and swollen eyes like peaches, as well as the helpless and complaining advice of "you have changed from now on", showed Daiyu's complete love for Baoyu.

However, such a complex emotional expression is too profound for a ten-year-old girl.

Shen Xi thought for a while and said, "Daiyu should have gone to see it, do you think Baoyu was beaten so badly that she was about to die, can she bear not to see it?" It's just that you are cold-hearted, so you will feel that Baoyu deserves to be beaten. ”

"Who made Baoyu so naughty, just like you, if you were beaten, I would think I deserved it."

Lin Dai pouted arrogantly, and when she got on the bed and entered the quilt, she suddenly turned her head sideways and asked, "Is it true that Baoyu was beaten because he didn't study well?" ”

It's another difficult question to answer, in fact, Baoyu's beating is very complicated, including Baoyu's listlessness when he saw Jia Yucun, which made his father Jia Zheng dissatisfied, and Baoyu's interaction with Qiguan angered the prince of Zhongshun and caused political disputes for Jia Zheng for no reason, but the most important thing is that Jia Huan played right and wrong and slandered Baoyu and forced Jin Chu'er to death.

But these explanations are large, and it is estimated that they will not be able to finish in one or two hours, but they can't help but face Lin Dai's expectant gaze. However, Shen Xi was very smart, smiled, and said, "Because Baoyu secretly kissed the sister of the next door, the sister of the next door was pregnant and committed suicide by throwing herself into the well." ”

"Huh?"

Lin Dai's big eyes widened, and she looked at her head after a while, "That's really a fight." If you kiss me, I'll throw myself into a well...... Giggles, I won't be so stupid, I asked Aunt Sun, her boy and girl won't get pregnant, you like to lie to me. ”

Shen Xi was stunned, thinking that Hui Niang would really teach Lori. In the future, he will have no biggest basis to blackmail Lin Dai, and it is obviously not enough to use stories to envelop Lori.

When she was about to fall asleep, Lin Dai suddenly thought thoughtfully: "I want to dream of my mother, I don't know if I can dream of it, I miss my mother." ”

In the end, Lin Dai looked at Shen Xi, her eyes were full of longing, she smiled at Shen Xi, and suddenly leaned over and kissed Shen Xi on the lips: "Tell me stories in the future, don't lie to me again." ”

Shen Xi suddenly felt that Lin Dai at this moment was like a beautiful angel, worthy of his lifelong love and love.
