Chapter 436 Lantern Festival Guessing Lantern Riddles

The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China. It is said that the Lantern Festival was set up to commemorate "Ping Lu" during Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty.After the death of Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ying, the son of Empress Lu, ascended the throne as Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty.Emperor Hui was cowardly and indecisive by nature, and the power gradually fell into the hands of Empress Lu.After Emperor Huidi died of illness, Empress Lu took over the government and changed the world of people who named Liu into the world who named Liu. The veterans of the court and the Liu family were very angry, but they all afraid of Empress Lu who often did something cruelty resentment to them.

After Empress Lu died of illness,the Zhu Lus were very afraid of retaliation.Therefore, they secretly gathered at the home of the general Lu Lu and conspired to cause chaos in order to completely seize the Liu family.This incident reached the ears of Liu Xiang, the king of Qi, the clan of the Liu clan. In order to protect the Liu family, Liu Xiang decided to launch an army against Zhulu. Completely calm down.

After the rebellion was put down, all the ministers supported Liu Bang's second son, Liu Heng, to the throne, and called him Emperor Wen of Han.Emperor Wen deeply felt that the peace and prosperity were hard-won, so he designated the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the "Zhu Lu Rebellion" was quelled, as the day of having fun with the people, and every family in the capital decorated with lanterns and streamers to celebrate.Since then, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has become a popular folk festival - "Lantern Festival".

Lantern Festival originally means "the evening of the Lantern Festival", because the main activity of the "Shangyuan Festival" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is eating glutinous rice balls and admiring the moon at night, so the name of the festival evolved into "Lantern Festival".On the night of the Lantern Festival, the streets and alleys are decorated with lanterns, people enjoy the lanterns, guess lantern riddles, and eat Lantern Festival, which pushes the celebrations that have continued since New Year’s Eve to another climax, and has become a custom that has been passed down from generation to generation.When the Lantern Festival was formed in the early days, it was only called the [-]th day of the first month, the half day of the first month or the moon, and it was called Yuanxi or Yuanye after the Sui Dynasty.Influenced by Taoism at the beginning of Tang Dynasty, it was also called Shangyuan, and it was occasionally called Yuanxiao at the end of Tang Dynasty.But since the Song Dynasty, it has also been called Dengxi.In the Qing Dynasty, it was also called the Lantern Festival.

The small town has also become lively because of the arrival of the Lantern Festival, with lanterns and festoons everywhere, and the sound of fireworks and firecrackers.Perhaps it was because school was about to start after the Lantern Festival, and there were quite a lot of young men and women on the bustling streets.

Where there are people, there will naturally be business opportunities. The dazzling array of commodities on the street is a good example.But those young men and women like these gadgets the most. As long as the beautiful girls are attracted to them, the handsome boys will rush to pay for them. Lost.

"Confinement boy! Why do you still keep a straight face in such a lively atmosphere? It's like a dead parent!" Liu Feng asked Li Xiaoyue, DD and others out to play after dinner at night, but they were still He didn't come, so Liu Feng dragged Li Xiaoyue around with great interest, looking around.

"Get lost! You just died!" Li Xiaoyue glanced at Liu Feng angrily, and stopped talking.Of course, I don’t want to talk. If you didn’t want to go out, but you were urged to call more than a dozen times in a row, how would you feel when you hung up the phone and knocked on your door?
"Hey~ Brother Yue is mighty, don't be angry with me!" Liu Feng saw that Li Xiaoyue still had a straight face, so he knew that he was still angry at what he had harassed him before, so he immediately apologized with a smile.

"Hmph~" Li Xiaoyue was still angry, she snorted softly and left first.

"Brother Yue~~Brother Yue, wait for me!" Seeing that Li Xiaoyue took a step first, Liu Feng hurried over.

After a while, DD, Guangguang, and Feng Yu met the two of them.

"Long time no see!" Li Xiaoyue hugged the three of them with a smile, without any trace of the lingering anger just now.

After chatting for a while, seeing only the three of them, Li Xiaoyue asked DD curiously: "Where's your Yuanyuan? Why didn't you come over?"

DD looked at Li Xiaoyue playfully and said, "She'll come over later! Let's wait for her at the agreed place first."

"Okay!" Li Xiaoyue looked at DD's expression and couldn't help feeling suspicious, but she nodded in agreement.

After the gathering, the five brothers rushed to the place agreed by DD and Zhao Yuan, but at this time Zhao Yuan hadn't come yet, so they stood there and chatted.Guang Guang and Feng Yu are still studying in No. [-] Middle School, while DD is going to learn business from his cousin after the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Yuan came over after a while, but there were three other girls with her.The other two Li Xiaoyue didn't look at it, but just stared at the beautiful woman in plain clothes and white gauze in a daze.It took a long time for Li Xiaoyue to come back to her senses. He held his head high and held his chest high. After thinking for a while, he plucked up the courage to walk towards the woman in white, and said softly, "Long time no see! How are you?"

The woman in white is exactly Su Muyan whom Li Xiaoyue misses day and night, and who is always on her mind.I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but after seeing Li Xiaoyue chatting with Su Muyan, everyone moved away a few steps to chat with other people.

"Hmm~" Su Muyan looked at Li Xiaoyue with a complicated expression, and stopped talking after a word.And Li Xiaoyue didn't know how to speak, as soon as she saw Su Muyan, she felt her mind went blank, and anyone with outstanding literary talent and eloquence must go to hell.The four eyes are facing each other at the moment, and they can't speak for a long time.

The noisy voices on the street and the people walking seemed unreal. In Li Xiaoyue's eyes, there was only one person, and that was the woman in front of her.You are as intoxicating as that poppy flower, knowing that it is poison, but wanting to hold you in the palm of your hand, care for you, care for you, and shelter you from wind and rain, just like this for a lifetime.If, if it's a pity that there is no if in the world, what can we do?What can I do?
"Ahem~" I don't know how long it took, but the few people couldn't stand it any longer, so they deliberately coughed to remind Li Xiaoyue to get up.

After being woken up by the cough, both of them lowered their heads in embarrassment, and then Su Muyan walked two quick steps to Zhao Yuan and the others.

"Hey~" Seeing Su Muyan walking away, Li Xiaoyue sighed in disappointment, feeling that her life was a failure.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyue was sighing sadly after failing, all the brothers came over to comfort him.

"Huh~ These lanterns are so beautiful!" Zhao Yuan and a few other girls were walking in front, when suddenly one of the girls spotted the lantern in front of her and trotted over.The other people followed after seeing this.

"Today's Mid-Autumn Festival is a good time to eat moon cakes and enjoy the lanterns. I am conceited that I have a bit of literary talent, so I wrote lantern riddles on these lanterns. As long as I can guess the lantern riddles above, I will give this lantern to him. Of course I can't guess." It doesn’t matter, the lanterns are ten yuan apiece, but those with lantern riddles need 51 pieces.” A group of people had just passed by when they heard a middle-aged man say to the passers-by, he must be the owner of the lantern.

I saw some small characters written on the colorful lantern riddles, such as: the boundless falling trees are rustling, the spring rain is continuous, and the wife sleeps alone.

"It's so difficult~" Looking at these densely packed small characters, the onlookers were all scratching their heads and thinking hard.

"Damn, I can't even read it! Boss, bring me a lantern!" A fashionable young man with yellow hair thought for a long time, but after he couldn't think of an answer, he took out ten yuan from his pocket and gave it to him. boss.

The boss took the money with a smile and took a lantern without words from the side and handed it to the young man, then looked at the crowd and said with a smile: "Do you have any friends who guessed it?"

"Do you like this lantern?" Seeing that the girl had been staring at the pink lantern above, Guang Guang couldn't help frowning and asked.

"Hmm~~" The girl nodded when she saw Guang Guang asked herself, and looked at him expectantly.

Although Guang Guang wanted to help the girl win back the lantern, but he usually didn't like to study these things. "Fortunate people have a lot of skills, and it's rare to have merit or luck. Because of the chaos in the town, it's just because the number of yin and yang is different." Looking at the densely packed small characters on the lantern, the wide head is as big as a bucket.But in order to win the favor of his younger sister, Guang Guang still thinks seriously.

"Hey~" After pondering for a long time, Guangguang still didn't think of the answer. Looking at the expectant girl next to him, Guangguang's heart became ruthless, and he took out 50 yuan to buy it. "To please my sister, everything is worth it!" Thinking this way in Guang Guang's heart, he felt a lot more comfortable.

"Wait a minute~~" Li Xiaoyue walked over at some point and stopped Guang Guang who wanted to pay.Regardless of Guangguang's doubts at the moment, he looked at the owner who sold the lantern and asked, "Is it free if you guess correctly?"

Originally, the boss was happily preparing to accept the money, but after Li Xiaoyue stopped him, he became a little unhappy. After looking at Li Xiaoyue angrily, he said: "It's absolutely true, there is absolutely no lie!"

After receiving the promise from the boss, Li Xiaoyue read the riddle with a faint smile, then cleared her throat and said, "The answer to this lantern is the abacus!" Everyone looked at the lantern riddle carefully, and it was indeed an abacus, and they couldn't help but exclaimed.

"Thank you boss for the lantern!" Li Xiaoyue took down the lantern and smiled at the boss, then handed the lantern to Guangguang, indicating that he could go and please his sister.

The boss came back to his senses after being surprised, and couldn't help giving Li Xiaoyue a thumbs up, and praised: "The young man is quite educated, why don't you guess one for the girl you like!" The boss saw Li Xiaoyue and his party There were men and women who thought it was a group of young couples out shopping, and the boss was also a cultured person. Seeing that Li Xiaoyue could guess her own lantern riddles, they became interested and wanted to see if he could guess.

After listening to the boss's suggestion, Li Xiaoyue involuntarily looked in Su Muyan's direction. Seeing that she was chatting with another girl who was not interested in these lanterns, she smiled and shook her head, and the boss said thank you Then I was ready to go.

"Hey, the lantern riddles on this lantern are so poetic, brother Xiaoyue help me guess it!" Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan looked at the lantern and said to Li Xiaoyue.

Li Xiaoyue was not interested in guessing lantern riddles for a long time, and she was also afraid that guessing too many would make the boss's business difficult, so she said to Zhao Yuan, "If you want, ask your DD to buy it for you!"

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan didn't follow her, she rolled her eyes and ran to Su Muyan's side. "Okay Qi, let him guess for me!" Zhao Yuan said while shaking Su Muyan's jade arm, as if if you don't let him guess, I won't let go.

"This~~" Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Su Muyan looked at Li Xiaoyue in embarrassment, but he still couldn't open his mouth.

"Boss, I'm sorry!" Li Xiaoyue frowned slightly seeing that Su Muyan was having trouble opening her mouth, but she was still going to help Zhao Yuan guess the lantern riddle, so she apologized to the boss first.

"It doesn't matter, you can take as many as you can guess. If you can guess all of them, I will give you all these lanterns!" Seeing Li Xiaoyue's politeness, the boss also laughed and said boldly.

Although the boss said so, Li Xiaoyue would not do this. After all, the boss still relies on selling these lanterns to support his family.After smiling at the boss, Li Xiaoyue looked at the crossword riddle on the lantern seriously: The spring rain continues and the wife sleeps alone. "Husband and wife are two, now only the wife is left to live alone. The answer is one!" Li Xiaoyue said to the boss with a smile after watching the lantern riddle.

The boss didn't say anything anymore, after hearing what Li Xiaoyue had said, he took down the lantern and handed it over.

"Guess right?" After Zhao Yuan took the lantern happily, everyone came over curiously, wanting to see if the answer was correct. "呵~~" As soon as Zhao Yuan opened the white paper, each word came into everyone's eyes.

"Brother Yue is mighty~~" Seeing that the answer was correct, Liu Feng quickly flattered him.With Liu Feng taking the lead, everyone also looked at Li Xiaoyue with admiration, even Su Muyan nodded slightly to Li Xiaoyue.Seeing Su Muyan nodding to herself, Li Xiaoyue was elated and extremely happy.Immediately, he hurriedly ran to Su Muyan's side, his literary and artistic atmosphere instantly broke, and he turned into a bastard.

Afterwards, everyone strolled around for a while, seeing that it was getting late, DD greeted everyone, took Zhao Yuan and left first, and smiled strangely at Li Xiaoyue before leaving.

"Ahem~~" Li Xiaoyue looked at Su Muyan next to her with some embarrassment, and said softly, "I'll take you home!"

Under the crabapple tree, the cold moonlight shines through the branches, mottled and slanted on him, casting a hazy silver halo lightly.Under the long and drooping eyelashes, the deep eyes twinkling like black crystals, the high nose, the beautiful lip shape, and the sharp-edged face have a trace of uninhibitedness, which is both unrestrained and sexy. And it also has a faint fragrance.The mixture of various temperaments, all exaggerate nobility and elegance, and also have his own unique ethereal and handsome!

Su Muyan carefully observed this man who was obsessed with him, and felt a little moved.After paying half the salary, her brows suddenly frowned slightly, and she said coldly: "No need!" Then she left alone.The two girls who were traveling with them also followed after seeing this, leaving a few single dogs in a daze on the somewhat cold street.

Gone, just left, and simply caught Li Xiaoyue off guard.Li Xiaoyue didn't understand what she did wrong?In fact, there is nothing wrong with loving someone, but loving someone does not mean that she will love you. Love cannot be settled, and if you don’t get along, you can’t get along.But Li Xiaoyue was not convinced, and was not reconciled. Maybe he didn't understand the meaning of love, or maybe what he couldn't get was always in turmoil, and those who were favored had nothing to fear.

Love is always so helpless. "Hahahaha~~~" Li Xiaoyue looked up to the sky and laughed like crazy, who can understand his mood at this moment?

Waves to the end of the world, accompanied by dry leaves, wind, dust and sand, it is hard to hide the true elegance, I love flowers if I am not infatuated, the flowers are too fragrant, the flowers are romantic, the flowers are dead, and the flowers are impermanent, without any injury, walking openly
