Everyone understands these days, some gatherings can't be pushed off, because they can't write updates, today on this chapter, describing the excitement of the Lantern Festival in the Ming Dynasty, specially dedicated to everyone! By the way, I would like to collect and recommend it for the first time.

===================

During the Shangyuan Festival, the doors of 10,000 households in the capital are open all night; After the second watch, thousands of doors are lit up for the festival.

The jade leaks the copper kettle and does not urge, and the Xingqiao fire tree is fully opened.

Xiao Gu competed for the phoenix moon at night, and the silver moth laughed and forgot to return.

On this night, countless families and children around the whole capital poured into the city, and the black and oppressive common ladies and ladies wore red and willow green, lit fireworks and played with lanterns together, and even the daughters of the noble pavilion who did not leave home on weekdays all went out to watch the lantern market.

At this time, Xu Hao also escorted his daughters to walk on the bustling streets, everywhere he looked, there were all kinds of lampstands, and the exquisite lights on the high shelves were all strange, which made the entire capital like daylight.

Every dozen steps, there are hundreds of jugglers such as singing and telling stories, and the people who watch all kinds of unique activities are fascinated; The vendors and traders on both sides are full of dazzling snacks, some of which are full of aroma, and some are chic and interesting; There is an elegant ring full of riddles, which is full of lanterns, and is crowded with eager tourists.

The girls of the Xu family couldn't help but buy this to taste and buy that trick, Xu Hao couldn't help but also eat a bowl of sweet Lantern Festival, carrying the plum blossom lantern bought by red leaves in her hand. And the red leaves pasted a few bought exquisite flowers on their cheeks, a bright red cinnabar on their foreheads, a few dazzling golden Qi Liang hairpins on their heads, and cut spring moths and some things that Xu Hao didn't know what they were on his sideburns, making a little cutie who was originally made up of pink makeup is now dressed in a nondescript manner, and his appearance makes people howl.

The snow is even snowing, the fire is illuminating, the lights are reflecting, and people are looking at people, which makes Xu Hao's mood immediately rejoice. Compared with the imported Christmas in later generations, it is not a colorful and lively scene that only belongs to Chinese culture, and the extremely strong holiday atmosphere makes Xu Hao feel emotional.

This Lantern Festival has a bad alias called Merry Robbery, and the daughters who are rarely seen on weekdays make an exception to go to the street to watch the lights and walk the bridge, how can it not cause countless merry teenagers to be attached to the ants? In addition, the palace maids in the sect's workshop, the famous prostitutes on the Qinhuai River, and they don't know how many romantic stories have been born over the years.

In view of this, Xu Hao had to cheer up his spirits, watching and listening to all directions, for fear that his sisters would be secretly taken advantage of by some bastard.

But there are so many people, fortunately, the girls are surrounded in the inner circle, and the maid women on the periphery can only ask for more blessings. Along the way, Xu Hao feasted on the blessings, bumping into young women from time to time, some frowned and were angry, some were shy and silent, and some smiled at the corners of their mouths, I really don't know who ate whose tofu!

From time to time, I saw interesting camel lamps, white ape lamps, crab lamps, etc., which made the girls stop one after another; The next moment, there was a pearl of golden lotus lanterns, hydrangea lamps that kept turning, hibiscus lamps that hung tassels, bangs lamps sitting on the back of golden toads, beautiful beauty lanterns, Nezha lamps that turned over the river and the sea, etc., the maids were so happy that they clapped their little hands.

Just like that, the mother-in-law dutifully kept reminding the girls to be careful, just in front of a group of gongs and drums who came into the city to celebrate, followed by a parade of rowing boats, almost splitting the Xu family into two halves.

There are figures everywhere, and it is difficult to take a step forward, Xu Hao is a little anxious, even if he has three heads and six arms, he can't take care of it at the moment.

It's too easy to get lost, Xu Hao, who was sweating in his head, hurriedly looked at both sides of the road, and saw that the railings outside the small buildings were full of princes and grandsons competing to see beautiful women, and the girls in the circle downstairs were beating the rhythm and walking away with songs.

Looking at the carefree girls singing and dancing to their heart's content, following the wonderful melody, stepping on cheerful steps, and rotating their bodies lightly from time to time, they are indescribably chic and colorful. The smiling faces full of youth made Xu Hao fascinated for a while, as if he had traveled to the Tang Dynasty at this moment.

It is undoubtedly safest to rent a high-rise building, so that my sisters can hide inside, and watch the excitement outside on the railing. But it's rare to go out once a year, Xu Hao thought about it and finally gave up.

In fact, he is too cautious, although it is inevitable that there will be a few cases of criminals abducting children in chaos, but when the whole world celebrates, the vast majority of people only have good and no evil in their hearts.

walked for an hour with such trepidation, if it weren't for the conscientious efforts of the family members who guarded the surroundings, and several times due to the dense crowd rushing back and forth, Xu Hao was so shocked that his throat was smoking, and when he saw someone bumping into him, he immediately pointed at the other party and scolded each other.

waited until he entered the palace city in the center of the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, when no one dared to be presumptuous here, Xu Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief and leisurely enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

The hazy moon shadow and the snow light on the ground complement each other, the bright lights flicker, and the temple is majestic. The women who walk are gathered, almost all of them are in groups, or walking in groups of three or five, even if they pass by the men, in fact, it is also the meaning of crossing the misfortune.

At this time, the night is picturesque, and whenever they pass by a stone arch bridge, the women have to deliberately walk it again, and the men consciously avoid it. On the bridge, the maid and maid walked in front with incense and lamps, followed by the lady in the middle, and the mother-in-law and woman followed, all dressed in green white or beige shirts for luminous clothes, plain and elegant, with unique charm.

Xu Hao waited by the bridge, looking at it with a smile. Under the shadow of the moon, your sisters and women, whether you are the daughter of an official family or a woman from a poor family, everyone's identity is equal at this moment, and they do not avoid each other.

The sleeves are fragrant, the graceful girls are the most attention-grabbing, the girls are swaying gently in their skirts to hide their laughter, or jumping, or pondering on the threshold, or looking up at the moon, or looking down at the water; The beauty of the beautiful scenery, do not be in this place do not know the beauty, is all the bridges and small bridges in the capital at night, the shadow is dense, all are so.

Xu Hao's mood became calm, and the little knot between him and Mu Ningxue today was slowly melted away by the peaceful scene in front of him, and he put himself in the other party's shoes, the responsibility was on herself, no wonder she was unhappy at the time.

From the first meeting, Xu Hao was indeed attracted to her, but it was more of a deliberate pursuit for the sake of interests, not so much to love Mu Ningxue as to love Zhu Di, the king of Yan, with impure motives.

"What qualifications does the dirty self have to match with the people who are clear and jade?" Xu Hao was infected, his heart became pure, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

If you can meet Mu Ningxue tonight, it means that there is fate between you and her, and you will pursue her wholeheartedly in the future. At that moment, Xu Hao's eyes searched around, hoping to find that moving figure.

It's a pity that an hour later, there was no expected romance, and the Xu family finally came to the side of Jinshui Bridge, where hundreds of lieutenants patrolled the side of the bridge without squinting. The maids introduced incense one after another, and then handed it to their own girls, on the stone steps of white marble, Xu Qinglian looked pious, and muttered prayers in their mouths.

Xu Hao smiled and asked the green bamboo beside him: "What are you reading?" The little girl quickly glanced at her mother Liu, and said obediently: "I am praying for my mother's health, my grandmother's long life, and the whole family's longevity." ”

Seeing this, Liu quipped: "Nonsense, it must be praying for your husband!" And you girls, you must be blessing you to find a wishful husband. We dare not look forward to the water spilled by this married daughter. ”

Luzhu's little face turned red, and she lowered her head shyly, the other girls were similar, and the maids were just giggling, obviously all of them were right by Liu.

Wang smiled: "There is filial piety, but it may not be tonight." Good days and auspicious times, seeking good luck is only this time of the year, let's go to touch the nails, the big guys are going, but you can't miss it. ”

Suddenly, a young man not far away came and said: "The good luck is in the people, not in the sky." The woman who was praying before and after the commotion was furious, and the reproachful gaze was shot at him, which was like a knife, and startled the young man, and he knew that he had inadvertently committed the anger of the people, and hurriedly shut his mouth.

The Xu family slowly paced towards the palace gate along the flow of people, and when they got closer, some lowered their heads, some closed their eyes, and raised their hands to touch the rows of bright copper nails on the palace gate like a blind man.

Xu Hao couldn't help but look at this scene with a secret smile, the girls' cute reactions, and their coquettish demeanors are innumerable, but they can only be understood and not spoken, but there is no need to describe them in detail.

When he returned the same way, the crowd was not scarce, Xu Hao's legs and feet were filled with lead, and he began to be a little disobedient, wondering why he was still nimble and energetic even though he was stronger than them, which was really incredible?

Xu Hao didn't want to relax his vigilance on this part of the road, and continued to scold some of the little guys who couldn't walk to cheer them up.

In the middle of the night, I always feel that something will happen, such as a stampede and a fire, such as a disciple who is molesting a good family, such as rushing out of a few wealthy bad guys who rob girls, at least pick up a lost "nobleman", right?

Xu Hao was secretly on guard while walking, thinking that as soon as something happened, he would immediately command his family to come forward to save the people, and a hero to save the beauty or something, but he sighed that he had returned to the Wang family all the time, and nothing happened.

"Those bastards should be having fun on the Qinhuai River right now, right?"

Xu Hao, who is not as good as God, really wants to take people over immediately, open a hole in the painting boat, let these bastards all fall into the river, and wait on the boat to play with them to their heart's content, so that they can breathe a sigh of relief, and then save one for five hundred taels of silver, but once one or two people are drowned, it will not be beautiful.

Some children of the Wang family came to invite him to go out to have fun, but Xu Hao, who had sore legs and feet, refused politely, and after bathing and changing clothes in the guest room of the outer courtyard, he lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

Outside, it was still that sleepless night that was as bright as day.
