Yun Chao plans to take advantage of the Lantern Festival to promote the Lion House, hoping to win a lot of prizes as soon as it opens.
Since there was going to be a lot of fun, Yun Chao simply sent someone to take Lin Youniang to the city.
The little girl is so old and has never been to the city. Taking advantage of the festival, it is just a good time for her to open her eyes.
Hearing that Lin Youniang was going to the city to celebrate the festival, Xiao Yuzhu pulled Zhao Xiugu and insisted on coming with her.
Jia Mancang, who went to pick up Lin Youniang, had no choice but to bring them over.
As soon as Lin Youniang saw Zhao Xiugu and Xiao Yuzhu coming, she was ready to call Aunt Wang and the young lady to avoid favoring one over the other.
The young woman didn't want to come at first, but later she heard that Wu Da's brother was in the city, so she planned to come to see Wu Er.
In any case, she was having a fight with Wu Da and his wife, and knowing that Wu Er was injured, it was unjustifiable not to come and take a look.
After entering the city, the young woman realized that Wu Er's injury had almost recovered.
Even Yun Chao didn't expect that Wu Er's injury would recover so quickly. In less than half a month, he would become lively again.
As soon as he recovered from his injury, Wu Er insisted on following Yun Chao, saying that he wanted to protect his safety, and almost made a group of boys so angry that they challenged him to a duel.
What's the matter, without you Wu Er, we can't protect Brother Chao, right?
The Shangyuan Festival of the Dawu Dynasty was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but the festival started on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the evening of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Yun Chao had a red lantern hung up in front of his house.
Then, everyone drove several carriages to the square in front of the Yamen.
As the sky slowly darkens, there are more and more people on the street.
The Dawu Dynasty was extremely short of entertainment, so it was easy to have a lively festival, and almost all the people came out.
The streets are empty and crowded.
If the government officials hadn't worked hard to maintain order, there would have been a stampede!
In order to show the unity of the government and the people, Magistrate Sun specially asked someone to set up a high platform outside the Yamen. Before lighting the lamp, he personally went up to the high platform to speak.
After speaking impassionedly and passionately, Magistrate Sun waved his fat hand and said, "Light the lamp!"
The first thing to light was the lantern made by the county government. A huge lotus palace lantern was placed on the stage where Magistrate Sun was speaking. It was very conspicuous and very impressive.
After the official lanterns are lit, it is the turn of other lanterns.
There are dragon and phoenix lanterns, lion lanterns, large gauze lanterns, watermelon lanterns, colorful lanterns...
In the eyes of a group of people in Qingyang County, these exquisite lanterns are so beautiful that they are more beautiful than the stars in the sky.
However, in Yun Chao's view, that's all.
Accustomed to the high-tech neon lights of later generations that integrated sound, light and electricity, Yun Chao had no other feeling except that these lanterns were more antique.
Originally, Yun Chao was not confident in the lanterns he made in a hurry, and was worried that it would not achieve the publicity effect.
Now seeing these lanterns, Yun Chao's confidence suddenly rose.
Qingyang County is just a county town, so what kind of good lamps can be made? Unless you go to Bianliang City in Tokyo, you may not be able to see the real masterpieces.
"Young lady, come and light the lamp!"
Lin Youniang's eyes are no longer enough.
When the little girl goes to the city, everything she sees is new.
After seeing all kinds of lanterns, Lin Youniang's eyes were even more exhausted. If Yun Chao hadn't arranged a task for her, she would have run over to take a closer look!
Yun Chao suddenly shouted to her to light the lamp, and Lin Youniang's body became numb.
I was so nervous that I couldn’t even speak:
Second...Second brother, let...let Aunt Wang come! "
Aunt Wang was also numb.
It was Lin Youniang's first time in the city, and it was also her first time.
As soon as Lin Youniang asked her to light the lamp, Aunt Wang's belly twisted.
"No... no no no, little girl, it's you... you do it!"
Yun Chao couldn't laugh or cry. It seemed that it was right to let the women around him go to the city. It would be difficult to grow up without seeing the world just by staying in the village.
The little maid Yuzhu was beside her eager to try. If Zhao Xiugu hadn't pulled her hard, she would have jumped out and volunteered to light the lamp.
"Young lady, don't be nervous, just light a lamp, I believe you can do it!"
After hearing Yun Chao's encouragement, Lin Youniang was no longer afraid.
I will marry my second brother in the future. If I can't overcome this difficulty, how can I stay with him in the future?
When she thought of Yun Chao, Lin Youniang's strength returned to her body instantly.
You must not let the chain slip, and you must not embarrass your second brother!
Thinking of this, Lin Youniang took the fire certificate from Wang Shitou and started to light the candles in the lantern one by one!
Yun Chao is the deputy inspector, so he can naturally choose a good position.
The lanterns are placed on the carriage and can be lit directly without taking them off.
As soon as Yun Chao's lantern was lit, it immediately attracted countless people.
Yunchao's lanterns are really eye-catching.
Not only is the location high, it is also very bright.
In order to achieve the publicity effect, Yun Chao spent a lot of money and inserted hundreds of candles in the lanterns.
As the huge butter candles were lit one by one by Lin Youniang, Yun Chao's lantern became brighter and brighter!
Getting brighter and brighter...
Getting brighter and brighter...
Then, the entire lantern slowly started to rotate!
"Ouch!"
Only then did the people understand that the lantern in the Lion Tower was a revolving lantern!
Each lantern is marked with its origin. For example, shopkeeper Wu who owns a grain store has the words "Wu's Grain Store" written on his lanterns.
The ancients were not fools. They had long understood the effectiveness of advertising. Who didn't know it?
Yun Chao's lantern says "Lion Tower".
As soon as the lanterns in the Lion Tower were lit, people swarmed in and gathered more and more people around.
There were revolving lanterns in the Dawu Dynasty, and the common people had seen them, and there were several on site.
However, compared with the revolving lantern made by Yunchao, it is completely different.
The giant revolving lantern, which is as tall as a person, rotates slowly under the smoke of hundreds of butter wax sticks.
Drawn on the lamp are beautiful fairies.
As the revolving lantern turns slowly, these fairies with different postures dance gracefully, vivid and beautiful!
Drawing on the computer graphics styles of later generations, the fairies painted by Yun Chao are novel in costumes and full of fairy spirit. They are very different from the beauties painted by the ancients and are quite eye-catching.
It was the first time for the people of Qingyang County to see such a large revolving lantern. It was so rare!
And the fairy above is so breathtaking!
As a result, the people rushed to tell each other and call friends, and soon a large number of people gathered.
"Quick, quick, quick, the Lion Tower has put up a huge revolving lantern this year, hurry up and go see it!"
"Really? Didn't you say that the fat shopkeeper of the Lion House is stingy? The annual lanterns are the smallest in the Lion House."
"Tch, that's all the old almanac. Haven't you heard that the Lion House has been replaced?"
"Real or fake, who did it replace?"
"Wolong Village Yun Er, don't you know?"
"Oh, it turned out to be the one who stole Hou Dutou's wife!"
"..."
Seeing that the people had almost arrived, Yun Chao waved his hand: "Stone, let's start!"
