"Young master, why don't we repair a light car too?"

"It's not proper, last year it was as high as 12 zhang, this year it must be higher, the height and decoration are not as good as others, and there are only ten days, and the time is too late."

"Childe, make more lanterns and win by quantity."

"Just this little land, how many lamps can be hung, it's useless, it's better to set it on fire."

"There's a way, isn't the son familiar with Pingkangfang, why don't you invite a group of famous red-brand Oiran and organize them to parade with lights, which will definitely grab the attention of the whole city."

This is a wonderful idea, so many Oiran red cards are dispatched together, it must cause a sensation, but after thinking about it, Zheng Peng quickly vetoed: "No, during the Shangyuan Festival, it is the best time for the Qinglou business, call them away, how much money will be lost, and the Qinglou Guild also has corresponding activities, so there is a conflict, that is, the girls are willing to go, and the bustard will not agree, besides, don't make me look like a turtle." ”

Everyone discussed and discussed, but they couldn't come up with a good idea for a long time.

It is difficult to do big things with a small amount of money, but also to do it in a short period of time.

Guo Ziqi said with some frustration: "Zheng Gongzi, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, otherwise, we will just take it." ”

It is not difficult to make the lanterns shine, but it is too difficult to achieve the sights of the whole city, and under the constraints of money and time.

"If it's done, it can be done by handing it over to Huang San, where do we need to sit here and discuss" Zheng Peng said with certainty: "Be spirited, now those women are waiting to see us laugh." ”

"Zheng Gongzi, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass will move first, I still have more than five hundred pieces here, it is better to take them out and tie lanterns." Guo Ziqi thought that Zheng Bing wanted to see the lanterns, and couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he took the initiative to contribute his pocket money.

"No, this money can't be paid out by you, and it's useless to talk about it." Zheng Peng shook his head and refused.

Guo Ziqi was a little embarrassed, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.

Li Bai said a little depressedly: "The world is like this, there are very few things that have the best of both worlds, just like everyone knows that a fierce tiger will be more powerful with a pair of wings, but the wings of a tiger will only appear in mythological stories." ”

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional, Zheng Peng suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and immediately said excitedly: "There is." ”

"Childe, what's there?" Li Bai was startled by Zheng Peng and hurriedly asked.

Huang San asked curiously, "Young Master, have you thought of how to make lanterns?" ”

Zheng Peng showed a smug look on his lips, nodded and said, "That's right, Young Master Ben not only has to spend a little money to do big things, but also take advantage of the Shangyuan Festival to make a lot of money." ”

"Childe, how do you make it?" Li Bai was also interested.

Thinking of a way, Zheng Peng couldn't sit still, stood up and said loudly: "From now on, listen to me, the first thing you have to do is to move to the house in Shengye Fang first, where the place is big and the location is good, just make lanterns there." ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Peng smiled: "If it works well, maybe the house can be torn down and the money can be earned." ”

Li Bai and Guo Ziqi glanced at each other when they heard this, and found that they had disbelieving looks in each other's eyes.

Didn't you want to make lanterns, how did you make money in a blink of an eye, it was already very difficult to spend a little money to do big things, listening to Zheng Peng's meaning, it seems that he still wants to use the lanterns to make a lot of money.

Is it possible?

No matter what the two of them thought, Zheng Peng said he would do it, and immediately took people to Shengyefang's house, and then set out to find craftsmen, buy materials to make lanterns, and set up lanterns behind closed doors.

Lin Xun'er and Lan Duo didn't let them see it if they wanted to, saying that they would keep it secret and give the girls a surprise when the time came.

As the Shangyuan Festival is getting closer and closer, Chang'an City not only has a festive atmosphere more and more intense, there are more and more people, restaurants and inns are overcrowded, even the empty rooms of the major temples are also snatched up by the guests who come to enjoy the lanterns, walking on the road, most of the inns are hanging the "full" sign, the most surprising thing for Zheng Peng, Datang has "RV" appeared.

The room rate of the inn in Chang'an, with the arrival of the Shangyuan Festival, is already expensive on weekdays, and now it has more than doubled, some people who want to save accommodation fees sleep in the carriage, and only need to find a place to stop at night, because Chang'an implements a night curfew, can only be parked in the workshop, so that Wu Hou can make a lot of money.

There are many foreigners with different faces, different skin colors and different costumes on the street, some in groups, some with families, and some from European countries thousands of miles away, which is very lively.

However, no matter where you come from, when you come to the land of the Tang Dynasty, you must abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty and accept the jurisdiction of the Tang Yamen.

Time flies quickly, unconsciously, finally to the fifteenth day of the first month, the atmosphere of the New Year in Chang'an is more intense, the pedestrians on the street touch their shoulders one after another, careful people wake up and find that they wake up a little later than in the past, because the drum tower did not ring in the morning, and the city drum needs to be beaten to buy and sell the east and west markets, and the door was opened early.

The annual Shangyuan Festival carnival has finally kicked off.

Zheng Peng slept until the third pole of the day before getting up.

"Young master, you finally got up, and you didn't look at the time." Lin Xun'er saw that Zheng Peng was awake, smiled, and waited for Zheng Peng to get dressed as she spoke.

Zheng Peng stretched his waist for a long time, shook his head and said: "I've been busy for so many days, but I can make Young Master Ben very tired, fortunately I was rushed out yesterday, it's rare that the damn drum didn't sound today, just take a lazy sleep." ”

"Young master, what kind of lanterns did you make, can you reveal it to the slave family." Lin Xun'er asked curiously.

From the fifth to the fourteenth day of the first month, Zheng Peng almost soaked in the house of Shengye Fang, Lin Xun'er remembered that Zheng Peng only came back to sleep for two nights, as for what lanterns to make, Zheng Peng has been secret, and he refuses to disclose it, only when he talks about it, and repeatedly promises that he will attract the attention of the whole city.

The more Zheng Peng didn't say it, the more curious Lin Xun'er became.

"I've been waiting for so many days, and I'm not in a hurry to wait a few more hours, it's almost there, and it will be revealed tonight." Zheng Peng is still tight-lipped.

Lin Xun'er bit her red lip lightly, and couldn't help but pinch Zheng Peng's waist: "You will bully the slave family." ”

"Hehe, but Xun'er has been sitting on it and bullying Young Master Ben last night, who bullied whom?"

As soon as Zheng Peng's voice fell, Lin Xun'er remembered the absurdity of last night, and flew her cheeks on the spot, threw down a sentence: "Young master is the worst", and ran out as if flying.

After teasing Xun'er early in the morning, Zheng Peng was in a good mood, finished washing up by himself, went out to the hall, looked left and right, and couldn't help asking, "What about people?" ”

In this little place at home, I don't see my little sister, I don't see the county lord, and I don't see Huang San, who is ready to listen to orders.

"Guo Gongzi sent him over early in the morning, and then Xiaobai also came, pulling Guo Gongzi to go to the street, Guo Gongzi said not to go, and then the county lord took the young lady to Ci'en Temple to incense, Xiaobai and Guo Gongzi went together, there are too many people today, and the slave family can't take care of it, so let Huang San follow and listen to the instructions."

Zheng Peng nodded: "Forget it, it's nothing, let them play." ”

On the Yuan Festival, in addition to the lanterns, there are also beauties.

When it comes to the Shangyuan Festival, the famous ladies and ladies who hide in the boudoir on weekdays will dress up, go out of the house, worship the gods, enjoy the lanterns, join in the fun, and you can also peek at those handsome little Langjun, and some matchmakers use the Shangyuan Street Festival to arrange "coincidental encounters" between men and women to see if they are satisfied with each other.

In ancient times, population was an important manifestation of national strength, the rulers of the Tang Dynasty set up official media in order to maintain their rule, and the official media had a very important task of trying not to have leftover men and women.

In order to find the other half you like as soon as possible, Shangyuan Festival is an opportunity for young men and women to meet.

If the girl slows down or "unintentionally" drops the champa, the opportunity comes, and if the girl leaves quickly, it means that the two are destined to find another goal.

Don't be disappointed, in the three days of the Shangyuan Festival, the beautiful women of Chang'an are dressed up beautifully on the street, and there will be fragrant grass within 100 steps.

In love with each other, the bold ones will make a private engagement for life, and even elope together, no matter what, every time on the Shangyuan Festival, there will be a good story of male talent and female appearance, after the Shangyuan Festival, the workload of the matchmaker has increased for a long time.

To put it more clearly, Shangyuan Festival is Valentine's Day in China.

If you want to be lazy, Zheng Peng feels that Li Bai is better than himself, he is a person who can sleep more and never gets up early, and he wants to pull Guo Ziqi out of the street early in the morning, needless to say, he definitely wants to go to the street to find beautiful women.
