Tianfeng Restaurant is one of the famous restaurants in Beiping City.

A century-old sign filled with famous chefs from all over the world.

Those who can eat here must be rich or noble.

And with today's bustle, it's not easy to get a private room in such a famous restaurant.

This made these girls worship Zhu Gaoxu even more.

When the plates of expensive dishes were served, the girls' eyes were filled with wonder.

What kind of dishes are these?

Rock sugar bird's nest soup, purple ginseng and pheasant soup, braised golden hook fin, abalone and bird's nest porridge, cherry dew honey, cream pine pulp roll cake, braised eel, fried white shrimp...

Many of the dishes have names that I have never even heard of.

Regardless of this group of people, Wei Jiangxue's family background is the best, and his father is a county official.

But such dishes are no longer available to the magistrate, let alone his daughter.

They had vaguely noticed that Zhu Gaoxu's identity was definitely not ordinary.

There are no girls who are not vain. They are all overjoyed. They are very happy that they have met a gentleman like Zhu Gaoxu so that they can eat such food.

I just regret that there are no mobile phones and Moments in this era.

Otherwise, you will definitely take beautiful photos and let your circle of friends eat them first.

On the way, a woman asked politely about Zhu Gaoxu's family background, but Zhu Gaoxu did not answer, leaving them to guess as they pleased.

Everyone was talking and laughing,

Half an hour later, we were full of wine and food.

By this time, it was getting dark.

Looking downstairs through the window, is there any night scene?

The lights are bright, the crowds are surging, and it’s lively!

Dragon lantern performers and acrobats can be seen everywhere...

Talented men and women holding lanterns were playing in the streets, not to mention how lively it was.

Everyone has long wanted to see the Lantern Festival in Peking and can’t wait.

Zhu Gaoxu took the lead and led everyone out of the restaurant, acting as a tour guide.

"Wow, so beautiful..."

"It's really beautiful. There are lanterns hanging everywhere."

"Look, there are countless Kongming lanterns in the sky, like stars."

The group of people followed Zhu Gaoxu closely, touring the bustle of Peiping.

Li Xiao can be regarded as thoroughly seeing the festive atmosphere of the ancients.

It’s so beautiful, so lively, so down-to-earth.

Being in the scene, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel slightly dazed.

Not to mention Zhu Ningyun on the side, the last time he celebrated the Lantern Festival was three years ago.

Experiencing it again is like revisiting the old place, and I have many feelings.

The Lantern Festival was the most grand festival in ancient times. At this time, the shops on the street were hung with beautiful lanterns, and all kinds of beautiful lanterns could be seen everywhere.

On the Yongding River, there are cruise boats hung with lanterns. There are also various exquisite bonsai lights, bead curtains and embroidered curtains, osmanthus and orchid beams on the boats, needless to say.

On the river surface are palm lanterns that flow with the water waves, either in the shape of lotus leaves or feathers, lighting up the river bed.

The lights compete for brightness up and down, truly like a world of glass and a universe of jewels.

The sky is full of stars floating, not stars, but Kongming lanterns.

Lighting up lanterns is one of the most important activities of the Lantern Festival.

Write your wishes on the lamp and float it to the sky, hoping that your wish will come true.

At Zhu Gaoxu's suggestion.

He bought many Kongming lanterns from street stalls, and everyone who saw them had a share.

Zhu Ningyun is like other women,

Carefully using a brush, I wrote my wishes on the lamp:

"May my family be safe and healthy, and may I grow old together with Li Xiaobai."

Then, candles were lit, and the heat of the Kongming Lantern rose, slowly floating, flying higher and higher.

Gathered together with the endless sparks, they flew high into the sky and turned into stars.

She clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and prayed that her wish would come true.

Li Xiao's Kongming Lantern was also written and flew into the sky.

Zhu Ningyun took a sneak peek and said,

The handwriting is still so ugly.

But she saw her name on it.

"The bond between life and death is broad, and it is said to the child. Hold the hand of the child, and grow old together with the child. - Li Xiao, Zhu Ningyun."

After peeking at such handwriting, Zhu Ningyun quickly looked away for fear of being discovered.

But my heart is full of joy and warmth.

Despite the huge crowds.

But it seemed like there were only two people left in the world.

While playing,

Li Xiao secretly took out the Xiangyun Lantern from the system warehouse.

Each man held one in his hand.

This Xiangyun lantern is particularly beautiful, emitting a warm yellow brilliance. Because it is an LED light strip, the brightness is several times that of other candle lanterns, like bright fireworks.

"This auspicious cloud is so beautiful."

"Well, as beautiful as you..."

The two were extremely sweet, holding hands and walking behind the crowd.

Went not far.

Huo——

There was another good show to watch.

Several old craftsmen, holding hammers, threw a lump of molten iron and hit it in the air.

When splashing, it looks like colorful snakes flying, and the iron flowers hang upside down like a volcano erupting.

This is - Iron Tree Silver Flower!

It exploded like countless sparks, showing a gorgeous scene in the dark night.

The people stayed far away and looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Li Xiao and Li Xiao were also like this, watching mesmerizedly.

After watching Iron Tree and Silver Flower.

Zhu Gaoxu took him to a fun place again.

Everyone was dazzled and their smiles never stopped.

We enjoyed them separately: lion dance, dragon dance, stilts, Yangko, Shi Bu Xian, jar playing, lion playing...

Is this the Ming Dynasty?

Li Xiao sighed in his heart.

This flourishing scene of flowers and brocade is really like a prosperous age when fire is cooking oil!

"The highlight is next. I will take you to the lantern festival. The lanterns there are all kinds of strange and dazzling."

Zhu Gaoxu explained: "There are also interesting activities such as lantern riddle guessing and poetry performances. That is the most interesting part of the Lantern Festival. If you are lucky enough to come out on top, there will also be gold and silver jewelry and other goodies."

Upon hearing this, the other girls were excited.

They come here because of its reputation, and the most popular thing is this lantern festival.

"Where did the gold and silver jewelry come from?"

Wei Jiangxue looked at Zhu Gaoxu curiously and asked.

"That's what you don't know."

Seeing that his sweetheart was becoming more and more familiar with him, he said excitedly:

"Every Lantern Festival, merchants in Beiping City hold lantern festivals."

"And this Peak Lantern Festival is the most famous, and it is hosted by the shopkeeper of the most famous Jin Fengluan Jewelry Shop."

"They spent a lot of money on it, and they also added color to the lantern festival. They are all valuable gold and silver jewelry."

"Last year's top prize was a red gold hairpin with emerald beads wrapped around it. I heard it was worth a hundred taels."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao was stunned.

Businesses with ancient feelings have already begun to sponsor competitions and build brands, right?

It seems that these are the leftover things left by ancient people...

"Oh my god, why don't you hurry up and take a look."

"I've wanted a hairpin for a long time..."

"Maybe if I'm lucky today, I can come out on top!"

When they heard that the top prize turned out to be a hairpin worth a hundred taels, everyone was eager to try it.

Zhu Ningyun also completely let go at this time, looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said: "Gaoxu, please lead the way for everyone."

"okay."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand: "Everyone, follow me. There are a lot of people. Follow closely, don't get lost... Miss Jiang Xue... I will take you there..."

That's it.

The group of people walked in the direction of the Lantern Festival in a mighty manner.

...

distance.

A dimly lit place.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun held hands and saw this scene.

From beginning to end, my daughter blended in and enjoyed it.

There is no trace of the sorrow of the past.

Seeing my daughter so happy.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun couldn't help but have red eyes and were filled with emotion.

"My lord, why are your eyes red?"

"The wind and sand have confused my eyes... Let's go, they seem to be going to the lantern festival, let's go and have a look too."

"Um...."
