at this time.
Yellow Crane Tower Lantern Festival.
The colorful lanterns in the market extend from ten miles away to the Yellow Crane Tower, and the lights are bright.
It's an unprecedented event.
The literati and bachelors who went to the lantern festival in the market mingled with ordinary city residents, making endless noises of frolics and laughter.
The lantern festival is very lively.
Entrance to the lantern festival.
Lin Yi, Chen Jingzhi and Mei Chunguang, all three of them were literati and dressed in Confucian robes.
They entered the lantern festival successfully.
The three high-ranking bosses, at this time, looked like country folk who had entered the city.
I was dazzled by the bright lights.
Lin also has good knowledge.
But this feeling of being at a bustling ancient lantern festival is completely different from visiting a night snack stall in my previous life.
Mei Chunguang opened her mouth slightly.
He is a eunuch... He is learning to serve people from his adoptive father in the palace, and he just wants to get ahead.
There are very few people leaving the palace. Where have I seen such a grand event?
Not to mention Chen Jingzhi.
Born in a small place, even if he is now the crown prince Shaobao... his horizons can still keep up with the speed of promotion in status.
"Too... Young Master!"
As soon as Mei Chunguang opened her mouth, she quickly changed her words and said, "You see, many literati and bachelors are wearing masks. Why don't we... wear them too?"
Lin Yi took a look.
It really is.
Are those literary bachelors afraid of being recognized, or do they want to play up the mystery and pretend to be pigs to eat tigers?
"Go buy a third pair."
Lin also became interested.
The mask is a good thing, it can hide his identity as the prince.
This will not cause unnecessary commotion...
soon.
Mei Chunguang bought three masks, but Lin Yi and Chen Jingzhi fell into silence looking at the three big-headed doll masks.
"..."
Other people's masks are either foxes or hawkeyes.
What Mei Chunguang bought were three big-headed doll masks, which looked very impressive.
Chen Jingzhi frowned and said, "Eunuch Mei, do you want His Highness to wear such a mask?"
Mei Chunguang said helplessly: "We don't want to either. They are all sold out. We are thinking of wearing them first to cope with the situation. If there are sales at the lantern festival, we can exchange them..."
Lin Yidao: "It's okay, no one will recognize it anyway!"
He took a big-headed doll mask and put it on, walking deeper along the street.
Chen Jingzhi chose a symmetrical mask, put it on, and followed Lin Yi.
Mei Chunguang trotted up.
…
at this time.
Entrance to the lantern festival.
In front of a mask stall.
Several young men wearing Confucian shirts came over and looked up and down.
One person stared at the big-headed doll mask and asked, "Can't this mask be sold?"
"Young master, you are joking. Who among serious scholars would buy this mask? The others are all sold out..."
The vendor smiled and said helplessly: "My family had a lot of these big-headed masks in the early years. They were originally ordered by some opera troupes, but since the opera troupes of the Capital became mainstream, these masks have been put aside..."
Several young people looked at each other, their eyes met, and they nodded lightly.
The young man in Confucian shirt said: "How many big-headed masks do you have?"
The vendor was stunned for a moment and said: "More than thirty..."
"I want them all! But... no one else wants this mask, right?"
The young man in Confucian shirt said expressionlessly.
The vendor has a keen mind. He doesn't know what this group of people means, but he knows very well...
If anyone else bought it, they would definitely not buy it.
The vendor said: "Of course not!"
The young man in scholar's shirt nodded slightly and said, "Take it out, I want them all!"
"Thank you guys!"
The vendor was overjoyed.
He decisively took out all the big-head masks, collected the money and delivered the goods, and thanked these people profusely.
Several young people went to an alley wearing masks.
Then people came in one after another.
When they walked out, they put on big masks and dispersed among the lantern festival.
…
at this time.
Yellow Crane Tower Lantern Festival, upstream of the river.
Many girls wearing masks were setting off lanterns and writing their little daughter's thoughts on paper.
Put it on the lantern.
Let the lanterns carry thoughts and blessings and float into the distance.
Zhang Jiuer was among them.
She didn't know if the person in her heart would come, but she... still wanted to write down her thoughts and blessings.
Not far from her.
It was Luo Hongling who was wearing a long red dress. She had put on a new outfit today and her whole person was less capable.
A little more charming.
The tanuki mask could not hide her incomparable beauty.
She put down the lantern.
She revealed her feelings that she had never expressed before. She didn't want to be known by the person involved, but just wanted to resolve the knot in her heart.
"The knot between my eyebrows that I can't untie is you..."
…
downstream.
Lin Yi walked most of the street with Chen Jingzhi and Mei Chunguang.
My eyes were dazzled by the sight.
"Most of these stalls sell food, why are there no lantern riddles?"
Chen Jingzhi said doubtfully.
Lin Yi also felt strange.
Yesterday, the emperor's uncle deliberately asked him to guess lantern riddles and gave him hundreds of taels of silver. He had no sense of experience.
Today he wanted to experience it at other stalls, thinking that someone would give this to him, right?
But the strange thing is, why is there no lantern riddle guessing activity in this lantern festival?
Mei Chunguang smiled and said: "This place is just outside the lantern festival. It is originally selling food and vendors selling some gadgets."
"The real lantern festival is on the street outside the Yellow Crane Tower."
Mei Chunguang had already found out yesterday.
As the chief eunuch of the East Palace.
You must do your homework on many things in advance. Otherwise, if His Highness the Crown Prince doesn’t know anything about it, wouldn’t the bird be cut in vain?
"Sir, shall we go there?"
Chen Jingzhi looked at Lin Yi, who was wearing a big-headed doll mask.
Mei Chunguang chuckled and said: "Master Chen, what are you so anxious about? Of course you want to experience putting lotus lanterns down first!"
"Okay!"
Chen Jingzhi nodded, thinking that Mei Chunguang was right.
"Putting on lotus lanterns?"
Lin Yi raised his eyebrows and suddenly became interested.
He knows the lotus lantern.
This is a form of praying for blessings. Scholars look forward to a future, and young girls look forward to marriage.
It is said that the lotus lanterns bring blessings and expectations, and are known to the gods so that their wishes can be fulfilled.
certainly.
Lotus lanterns can also be used to express love. It is said that if you write the name of the person you like on the lantern, the lantern will bring him to you.
Lin Yi crammed yesterday and learned something.
"Sir, look, there are lotus lanterns coming down from the upper reaches of the Yellow Crane Tower..."
Mei Chunguang looked at Jiang Mian with a bit of surprise on her face.
Lin also looked towards the river.
really.
At night, on the river, countless lanterns float down the river.
"Let's go pick up the lanterns. Our beloved girl is waiting for us upstream!"
"Hahaha, everything in life is stable!"
"Shuyi, I'm coming!"
"..."
As soon as the lotus lanterns came, many literati and bachelors rushed to the riverside as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
They showed off their magical powers and used various means to lead the lanterns in front of them.
"Sir, let's go too."
Mei Chunguang was also a little anxious.
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Mei Chunguang's lower body and said, "Do you also have such a need?"
"slave……"
Mei Chunguang was stunned, her face turned red, and she said, "We are just joining in the fun."
"Go and see!"
Lin Yi smiled.
Lin Yi came to the riverside and looked at the various lanterns floating down the river, feeling inexplicably moved deep in his heart.
Will someone... confess to me?
Did he happen to be seen again?
This should be the so-called fate and destiny, right?
