Ji Ning has two more helpers by his side, these two people seem to have a bit of strength, but they are also stupid, they have no knowledge themselves, they obey Lin Yi's words, and they will call Lin Yi "second brother" when they speak, as for the "old seven" and "little six", the titles are more pleasant.

Chen Qi and Li 6 are both small citizens in the capital, they don't have any land themselves, and they need to make a living in the labor market in the capital.

Now that Lin Yi is with Ji Ning, the mix is not bad, and the two of them will have the opportunity to come over together to beg for food.

"Master, these two people owe clean up on weekdays, you always beat and scold casually, there must be no problem, he is also very loyal, if any of them are disobedient, just throw people into the river to feed the fish!" Lin Yi was saying this to Ji Ning, and also to the two brothers.

Ji Ning greeted the two and got into the carriage, Lin Yi was in charge of catching the car, and Li 6 and Chen Qi switched, one ran underneath and the other sat in front of the car, which was also considered attentive along the way.

When they arrived at the place, Tang Xie and the others had not yet arrived, only Tang Xie and Xie Tai came first.

"There will be a while before the turn of the lantern festival begins, although there are many people on the street, but there is less festive atmosphere, Yongning is also very early!" Tang Xie laughed.

After Ji Ning asked Lin Yi and the others to wait downstairs, he went up to the second floor with Tang Jie, because it was a cold winter wax moon, the two did not go to the position near the window, but just sat near the stove.

Ji Ning said: "Ziqian is going to visit the lantern festival, or is he here to do the fur business?" ”

"Haha, there's no way, I'm afraid of the cold, I bought this with the northerners, and it cost a lot of silver, don't see through the body is too heavy, but it's warm, and I don't feel very cold wherever I go." Alas! We southerners come to the north, we are always not very adaptable, this ghost weather is too bad, I hope that in a few days when the exam will not be so cold, don't wait until the time is even frozen hands can't lift the pen! Tang Xie laughed.

The problem that Tang explained was that Ji Ning himself had considered it.

The weather in the north is too cold, and the examination will start in early February, and once the examination starts, candidates will not be able to come out of the examination room for more than ten days.

During this time, even if the handle is frozen, you can only endure it, so you must do a good job of eating and keeping warm inside.

"Yongning, tonight I heard that in the lantern festival in the capital, the county lord of Min Shan will participate, it is on the chessboard street, do you want to go over and take a look?" Tang explained, "Even Gu Yuming will go, Gu Yuming has endured a lot of doubts these days, he should want to make a name for himself this time, but with his talent and learning, he may not be able to achieve anything in this poetry meeting, and now many people are waiting to suppress his limelight and become a unique figure in the limelight!" ”

Before Ji Ning could answer, Xie Tai smiled: "Such a fun thing, we must go and see it." It's not good if Yongning doesn't go this time, right? ”

Ji Ning was silent slightly, he still didn't want to face Gu Yuming, now Gu Yuming's short-lived reputation is completely from his word, and it has nothing to do with Gu Yuming himself, Gu Yuming may have really been suppressed for a long time, and he would actually use the way of stealing other people's poems to achieve his own reputation, but as a result, he was smart and mistaken by being smart.

"Hmm." It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, and Ji Ning could only nod and agree to go and see it together.

Tang Xie and the others called hot wine and hot tea to come up, and there were some meals, and after a while, Han Yu and Song Rui also came, Tang Xie said: "I don't know if there is food sold outside tonight, even if there is, it should be cold, it is better to have a full meal here first, there is food in the stomach, and you are not afraid of the cold wind!" ”

A few people made fun of Tang Xie a few words, and all they said was the heavy fur on Tang Jie's body.

Friends spend time eating, drinking and chatting, which is also a good time.

Ji Ning will also feel the cold, and he can also feel a trace of warmth after eating a few glasses of water and wine.

……

……

In a short time, it was getting late, and there were more people on the road.

Several people came down from the upper floor and walked on the street together, at this time in the Chongwenmen generation, because the three religions and nine streams are mixed, this is also the most lively place for the lantern festival.

Lively doesn't mean it's a good style.

Han Yu, as a person who had been to the capital once and participated in a lantern festival, was also explaining: "...... The lantern festival in the capital will basically be divided into three occasions. One is like the lantern festival in the area of Chongwenmen, which is a lively one, there are many theaters and Qinlou Chu Hall, some lantern festivals will be held tonight, and many people from three religions and nine streams participate, but it is lively here, but it is not grounded, and there is not much silver to come here and not integrate into the atmosphere. ”

"The second is to go to the west of the city four archway, or the east of the east of the city, there are many households, the lantern will be down-to-earth, no need to consume, just need to make a lantern, go to put the lantern. There may be fewer young ladies over there, but maybe you can meet a celebrity lady from a small family, and maybe you can also achieve a beautiful marriage. ”

"Finally, I went to some neighborhoods near the south of the imperial city, where the children of famous families would participate in the meeting, there would be a variety of poetry and lantern riddles, if you can guess correctly, you may also get some rich rewards, and some learned people will also take advantage of the lantern festival to try their luck in the past."

"No matter where it is, there will be lantern riddles and river lantern activities, this is just a summary, not a generalization, we are in Chongwenmen activities, mainly to find a few more lively shops outside, to see what activities can be participated, you can go to the Qinlou Chu Hall at night to join in the fun!"

Han Yu explained in detail, and Ji Ning himself probably understood.

This is the same as the principle of "things gather people in groups", the people of the capital even participate in a lantern festival, they will be divided into three, six, nine and so on according to their own needs and tastes, and it is actually very embarrassing for readers to be mixed in.

Although the scholars were of the scholar class, most of them did not have much silver, and many of them were even poor scholars.

On the one hand, it is said that everything is inferior, only reading is high, and on the other hand, it is said that it is useless to be a scholar, and this era is actually very unfriendly to readers.

In general, no matter which side of the lantern festival is attended, it will not seem very abrupt, whether it is to Chongwenmen to have fun, or to the imperial city to find elegance, or to the east and west of the city to find the countryside and follow the customs, there is its own reason.
