Fu Bingrong said: "Master, I heard that there is a lantern festival tonight, let's go and see it together!" ”
Yang Zeqi said: "What kind of lantern festival, it's not the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, how can there be a lantern festival?" ”
Fu Bingrong said about the Lantern Festival, the people in the capital are very good at playing, all year round, there are all kinds of play, but it is not like the content of the place in other counties to play is very small, such as the Lantern Festival, as long as there is a reason, it will be held, for example, what is the birthday of a certain Bodhisattva, the people will spontaneously hold it, or which prince and nobleman celebrate their birthday, as long as it is called, it will also be held once.
The people are very fond of the Lantern Festival, not only small merchants and hawkers can take this opportunity to come out to do business, but also the big girls and little daughters-in-law of the people's families can also come out to play, especially the big girls and young men who are not married, they can get acquainted at the Lantern Festival, the Dafang Empire is open, sometimes the big girls and young men know each other at the Lantern Festival, say a few words, feel good, often go home and talk to their parents, the next day invited a matchmaker to propose, often the probability of success will be great, unmarried men and women are very fond of this way, It's a bit of a rudimentary form of free love.
Yang Ze heard that there was such a bustle, so he naturally agreed to go and see it, anyway, he didn't have anything to do when he stayed in the Terracotta Division, of course it was good to be able to go out and have fun, he came out to do business things, and all the expenses were borne by Ningbei Dao, but there was no need to save money for Wei Yuancheng.
In the evening, Yang Ze took the four of them out of the Soldiers and Horses Division, not only did he come out, but the soldiers and generals from Linzhou almost went out of the nest, and the soldiers and generals all changed into civilian clothes, hooked their shoulders and went out of the barracks together, and they all went to the street to watch the lantern festival, especially when they thought of seeing the big girl and the little daughter-in-law in Beijing, the soldiers and generals were all excited and red-faced, as if they had drunk too much.
The group went to Suzaku Street again, Yang Ze didn't have to worry about encountering a small ruffian like Chuang Ye this time, he was surrounded by hundreds of Linzhou soldiers, what a small ruffian is not a small ruffian. Even if the ruffians of the earth come, they can still beat them all over the ground to find teeth!
When everyone arrived at Suzaku Street, they saw that the whole street was brilliantly lit, with endless lanterns at a glance, countless pedestrians, handsome men and beautiful women all over the street, and everyone was dazzled and dizzy!
At first, it was okay, and the soldiers and generals in Linzhou were still playing together, but it didn't take long. The generals dispersed, each playing their own way, Yang Ze was also excited, he smiled at Fu Bingrong and others: "I really didn't expect that the night scene of Chang'an is so beautiful, it can be called a city that never sleeps, look at these lanterns, I estimate that there must be tens of thousands!" ”
Fu Bingrong was already fainting when he saw it, and he was all surprised. It is said that this kind of lantern festival is not seen once in a hundred years, and they can see it, which is really blessed. This life is not in vain.
When a group of people next to him heard this, they laughed out loud and said, "You are from other places, and you should be surprised by this ordinary lantern festival." If you can wait until the Shangyuan Festival, then you will see what is called the big lantern festival, not only the lanterns. There are also floats and countless performances, so it's really called the headlight festival! This person is obviously laughing at Yang Ze and the others for not being knowledgeable, they are local buns from the countryside.
Yang Ze didn't get angry when he heard it, they were originally from the frontier, and they really hadn't seen this kind of liveliness, he smiled: "The lights are good-looking, and the people are good-looking, you Chang'an people just enjoy it." ”
Seeing his mild attitude, there were no other outsiders, and after listening to the ridicule, he felt that this person was good, so he pointed to the front and said: "Look at it, there is a big restaurant in front, called Goldfish Pavilion, it is one of the best restaurants in our Chang'an, the favorite place for princes and nobles, as long as there is a lantern festival, Goldfish Pavilion will be out of the lantern riddle, and as long as someone guesses the lantern riddle, you can enter the building to eat and drink for nothing, you go to try your luck, maybe you can guess one or two lantern riddles, mix food and drink, isn't it beautiful!" ”
Yang Ze listened to it and said with a smile: "There are such good things, you can eat and drink for nothing?" Guess a lantern riddle and you can enter the big restaurant in Chang'an City, and the restaurant will be eaten down! ”
The pedestrian snorted and said, "How can there be such a good guess, you will know when you go, if you want to eat fragrant and drink spicy food, you must have the ability to do it!" ”
Mu Gen said proudly: "Our master is the most capable!" ”
Fu Bingrong and Tan Zhengwen nodded together, they felt that Yang Ze was quite capable, but they didn't think he had too much ability, but guessing the lantern riddle was really nothing, so they nodded together.
Yan Chenghou said: "Even if you can't guess, it doesn't matter, what you want to eat, I'll please!" ”
The pedestrian smiled and said, "Don't talk too much, you will know when you get to the place." ”
Yang Ze waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's eat and drink for nothing!" "Take all the apprentices and Yan Chenghou and walk towards the Goldfish Pavilion together.
Goldfish Pavilion is easy to find, although Suzaku Street is long, although there are many shops, but there are not many restaurants as big as Goldfish Pavilion, Yang Ze They went to the place with the most people, and they found Goldfish Pavilion in a short time.
Yang Ze looked at the restaurant, and saw that this goldfish pavilion was extremely tall, with a five-bay door face, as high as five floors, and a huge shelf stood at the door, with hundreds of lanterns hanging on it, and there was a red cloth strip under each lantern, and the riddles were written on the cloth strip, and the people who watched the excitement under the lanterns, there were not two thousand people, but there must be one thousand seven or eight, and the wooden shelves were surrounded by water!
Looking upstairs, I saw that the windows on each floor of the upper floor were open, and they were full of richly dressed guests, and many of them were standing by the windows, looking down, as if they were looking at who had guessed the riddle!
Yang Ze squeezed into the crowd and asked a person next to him who was watching the excitement, and said, "I said brother, if you guess the lantern riddle, you can go up and eat and drink for nothing?" ”
The person watching the excitement looked back at him and said, "You have to guess three in a row, as long as you guess right, you can go upstairs, but, so far, no one has been able to guess three in a row!" ”
Yang Ze pointed upstairs and asked, "It seems that the people upstairs are full, didn't they all guess?" ”
"How is it possible, those are all guests who spend money, they are all big shots, I heard that there are nobles above, if you can sit with them to eat and drink, this life is really not in vain!" The person watching the excitement said with admiration.
Tan Zhengwen also looked upstairs, and suddenly said: "There are too many people upstairs, even if we guess correctly, I'm afraid there is no place above!" ”
The people who watched the excitement laughed: "You actually care about whether there is a place on it, but you don't care how difficult the riddle is, just like you must be able to guess it, you can go up to eat and drink, it's really funny." ”
"Isn't it just a lantern riddle? What's so great, even if you can't guess it, you can't miss a piece of meat, what's so funny! Fu Bingrong didn't care about the authenticity.
Several people who watched the excitement turned their heads together, and they all looked at Fu Bingrong with surprised eyes, and the expression was obviously that you were really funny!
At this moment, I heard a commotion in the crowd, and then the people who watched the excitement laughed, and the laughter was so loud that many people actually leaned forward and fell back with laughter. There were even people clapping their hands.
Yang Ze saw a crowd, and a person came out of it, this person was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he was only wearing a pair of pants, no shoes under his feet, and walked out with a red face!
Yang Ze was taken aback, what was going on, why did this person go out without clothes, even if the people of Chang'an were open. But it's not so open!
The person who was talking to Yang Ze just now smiled: "This is called being immeasurable, and I don't have the ability to go in and guess the riddle, how about it, I was picked up!" ”
Yang Ze hurriedly asked, "Why is this?" If you can't guess the lantern riddle, will you be stripped of your clothes? ”
The man smiled, "Of course, only in this way can everyone be happy." However, in previous years, Goldfish Pavilion did not have this rule, but this year, somehow, anyone can guess. If you can't guess it, you have to pick up your clothes, this rule is funny, but because of this rule, we are happy to watch! How about it, you little Langjun, do you dare to guess, you have to guess three times in a row, and if you make a mistake, you have to pick up your clothes! ”
Fu Bingrong and a few of them were dumbfounded, they really didn't know if they didn't come to Chang'an, the people in this place can really play, they can't guess a lantern riddle, they can even pick up their clothes!
Yang Ze saw that the young man's face was red, and he walked out with his hands on his shoulders, and was ridiculed by the people next to him, almost embarrassed, he hurriedly shouted: "That brother, don't hold your shoulders, don't cover your face!" ”
A word woke up the person in the dream, and the young man suddenly realized, yes, everyone's body is the same, just cover your face, as long as you can't see your face, who can recognize whom! He quickly covered his face, hugged his head, fled the crowd, covered his face and ran wildly, and ran towards the avenue.
Yang Ze shouted again: "Drill the alley, it's dark inside!" ”
The young man hurriedly turned around and fled into the alley, and no one looked at him anymore!
The onlookers are so happy, laughing and shouting, this is lively to see, but it is really enjoyable, some people even shouted, saying that if you want to pick it up, you will be stripped naked, and why do you still keep your pants, this is not completely picked!
Fu Bingrong said worriedly: "Master, I think it's better to forget it, let Xiao Yan pay some money, let's go up and eat and drink, otherwise, let's go somewhere else to see the excitement, it's too dangerous here!" ”
Tan Zhengwen and Yan Chenghou also nodded, isn't it, this is too dangerous, even Mugen doesn't want to eat and drink for nothing!
For people in this year, it is unacceptable to be stripped of their clothes in public, especially for readers, and those who can guess lantern riddles must at least know how to read, and if they are stripped of their clothes, it will be too embarrassing, I am afraid that they will not be able to raise their heads in this life and be ridiculed.
But for the people who watch the excitement, it is so happy to be able to see others, especially the readers, being stripped of their clothes, how can they usually have this lively and good-looking, and how can they see the readers making a fool of themselves, so they all hope that no one can guess the riddles, and the more people who are stripped of their clothes, the better!
Yang Ze struggled to squeeze into the crowd and came to the lantern, he looked up at the riddles under the lanterns around him, and he was happy in his heart, he could guess at least three!
Yang Zechong shouted at the shopkeeper at the door: "What is the guess? Tell me about it! ”
He estimated that it was impossible to point to a lantern riddle and call out the riddle, so that the person next to him heard it, if he also guessed it, wouldn't it be troublesome, and he couldn't be sure who guessed it first!
The shopkeeper at the door smiled: "You can write it down, we have pen and ink here." ”
Yang Ze took a step forward and said, "I'll try!" ”
Fu Bingrong was shocked, grabbed Yang Ze, and said, "Master, don't try this, if you don't guess it, wouldn't it be embarrassing, if you are known, you will have no face to go back to your hometown!" (To be continued)
