407, Lantern Festival

Because the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is a festival for family reunion, according to the rules of the Tang family, this festival must be spent at home.

Therefore, the whole family watched the lanterns in Ziruo Garden, and everyone wrote riddles on them. The person who answered correctly would receive a red envelope. If the answer was wrong, the person who gave the question would receive a red envelope.

Xiaoxiao chose a fat rabbit lamp, and the red tag under the lamp reads a riddle: gathering requires wisdom, separation is also about ingenuity. (Answer something)

Xiaoxiao was stumped for a moment, and the stamp in her hand was seen by Han Er on the side. Han Er smiled and said, "This is stumping Sister Wu, is it clearly a chess piece!"

Xiaoxiao frowned: "The chess pieces are all on the chessboard, so they can't be considered discrete. Besides, various chess types are not used, they can only be considered games."

"What did the fifth sister say?"

"I originally thought of Nine Series, but Nine Series is just a toy, and it is not a practical thing."

Sighing, "I thought my name was the most difficult, but I didn't expect that this was even more difficult for my sister." As he said that, he opened his own riddle and showed it to Xiaoxiao: The sunset is extremely beautiful, answer one word.

Smiling then said, "I thought this was a word "媺."

"Who said?" Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"Zi said, " said, " said, " said, "The sunset is endless, so it makes people feel like a big and endless sun. If the word "sun" is enlarged, it is just a fat word "she"!"

Xiaoxiao laughed for a long time after hearing this, and drew in her palm again: "It should be a 'sauce'."

"Which sauce is this?"

"Sauce of fried noodles."

"Is this a solution?" Smiling fingers wrapped around Changshengzi under the light, and for a moment, she felt that the fifth sister had just made up an answer casually.

"The next sentence of the sunset is infinitely good, it's just near dusk."

Smiling thought for a while, she made a sudden enlightenment look, stretched out her finger and wrote the word "Sauce" in the air: "It's really, it's almost the hour of You, isn't it near dusk?"

"This question is interesting, let's see who came up with it." Xiaoxiao turned over the riddle and looked at the name written on the back, "It turned out to be from Aunt Four, no wonder it's so interesting!"

Yanran also came over and pouted, saying, "I only like the lantern of that beautiful woman. Who knows that the riddle below is so unlucky!"

Upon hearing this, Smiling took it over and looked at it: "Why does Chen Jiu feel hatred? Let me answer the diet."

"Wine is a mellow fragrance, so why do you feel hatred when you aged?" Xiaoxiao felt that the mystery was not clear.

Yanran had already had the answer and curled her lips and said, "This is clearly the word "daughter red"! This kind of wine is just stored for eighteen years! It's better to feel hatred after being stored for too long."

Han Er suddenly realized: "It turns out to be hatred for marrying! Which crooked ghost has such a question?"

Yanran said: "Fortunately, I wasn't pulled away by my second sister, otherwise I would have caused another upset."

Miss Tang Er was standing in a place far away from the crowd, and seemed to have no interest in guessing riddles. She just looked at the Kongming lantern in the distance in the sky and was in a daze.

Xiaoxiao also looked at the night sky. He thought he could see the full moon, but he knew that it was a cloudy day. There were lead clouds in the night sky, as if there were abundant rain and snow hidden.

"Maybe it will snow." Xiaoxiao sat down at the table in the garden, playing with the big Buddha's hands on the plate.

Yanran smiled but didn't sit down. Both of them stroked their abdomen and said, "The Lantern Festival I just ate has not melted yet, and they are circling around in a gurgling circle."

Yanran's girl Yingxian smiled and said, "This is what a lot of money is coming."

"You can speak auspicious words!" Yanran smiled slightly and pointed to the beauty lantern he had just chosen, "I will give you this great beauty!"

Yingxian hurriedly thanked the girl for her reward.

He heard a smile again and said, "Our family is the most complete this year, and the Lantern Festival banquet is the most lively! Even the backyard of our room is full of lanterns!"

Yanran nodded and said, "Especially, my uncle and aunt came back this year, my grandfather and grandmother were very happy. In addition, I added Brother Sheng last year, so these New Year Festivals will naturally be held!"

Smile and said again: "This time, my uncle brought back a set of floral and yellow sandalwood furniture to my grandfather and grandmother. The style is also unique, especially the cabinet placed in my grandmother's room, which smells sandalwood!"

Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up, which scared the twins, but saw Xiaoxiao slapped the table excitedly: "I thought of the answer! It's Qiqiao Table! The table is a use object, and every arrangement of the Qiqiao Table requires some brains. Even if it is a big square table, it has to be well combined! This is the gathering requires both wisdom and separation and ingenuity!"

The twins also thought it made sense, and smiled for a moment, "I also want a set of Qijie tables that can be arranged in square, rectangular, or in various shapes. It's so interesting!"

"We can't put our house down, so you can fill it in the form and add it to your dowry at that time!" Yanran teased.

But Han Er didn't have much shy consciousness, but nodded seriously: "Yes, let them add a sum to the dowry list tonight! I want a set of Qiqiao Tables for the scented yellow sandalwood! Do you want it?"

Yanran only covered her mouth with a veil and smiled seriously, but she said with a serious look: "I want it too! I want a set of golden nanmu! By the way, who is our dowry list in hand? Have you ever seen your own list?"

"Of course it's in my mother's hands." Yanran smiled at the other party for being strange.

"Forget it, I won't make any more money." Xiaoxiao suddenly said again.

"Why is this? Your three houses are the richest. Can't you even afford a set of Qijie tables?" Smile asked with the most straightforward and straightforward attitude.

Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "I like everything my mother arranged for me and didn't want to disturb her for this. What she gave me is naturally the best."

Smiling thought about it seriously, then said, "Anyway, I have bothered my mother more than once, so why bother adding one more!"

The few people laughed. Seeing that Yanran was particularly reserved at the moment, she was feeling that she had grown into a big girl. Suddenly, she thought that the dowry of the twins must be the same. If she smiled and asked for one, Yanran's dowry list would definitely be added. No wonder this child could smile so confidently at this moment.

Although the twins look exactly the same, their temperaments are really very different.

A gust of night wind blew over, and the three sisters wrapped their cloaks tightly.

The Lantern Festival is not as good as the August Festival. At this time, the garden is still chilly in the spring. The old lady really spoke, asking everyone to go back to the house to warm up.

Ziruo Garden was full of lanterns, so Xiaoxiao and his sisters naturally refused to go back in the sedan chair, so they walked all the way to enjoy the lanterns, guessed riddles all the way, and slowly headed towards Xiaotang Village.

The Tang family's houses and courtyards, as well as the attractions worth lingering, are all equipped with large lanterns.

For example, the carp leaping at the dragon gate in front of Ruiyun Hall just now. The blue waves and bright red carp are all made of vivid glass lamps, especially the golden dragon gate, which is almost as high as the hall door, which is very spectacular.

This time, my uncle's family reunion, so we naturally had to arrange some lanterns. The theme chosen by my aunt was "A hundred flowers blooming", which was a large silk flower basket filled with peony lotus and other kinds of gauze lanterns, which were rich and festive.

The second room has always been strong. This time, it is a colorful peacock gauze lamp. I don’t know what mechanism is installed inside. Once you pat the peacock’s head with your hand, a bird’s song will be heard.

Perhaps it was because of the principle of music box? Xiaoxiao even felt that these ancient lanterns were not inferior to modern ones.

This time, Sanfang took the route of returning to nature, recreating the glass bulbs of the Tang Dynasty back then. However, today's glass is more transparent and burn-resistant. It is made of a large number of fist-sized glass bottles to form various beautiful shapes, such as pagodas, lying rabbits, or arch bridges.

These transparent glass bottles are filled with clear water, and a small red goldfish is raised inside. A burning red candle floats on the water surface. When countless glass bottles gather together, the light of the stars forms a brilliant and spectacular effect. The goldfish swims around in the water, and the red candles float around with the waves of water. The water light reflects the candlelight, and the candlelight ripples on the water light. In front of you is a romantic and dreamy crystal world.

"How did this candle float on the water?" Smile was very curious.

"Because the candle holder was made with thin tin, the candle seemed to be held by a small boat, and there was no need to be soaked in water at all." Xiaoxiao explained on the side that he had provided this method to Shanniang himself.

The lanterns of the Fourth Room this year were arranged by Tang Qiyuan, and are meant to be bright and bright. It is a bright glass peach tree. From a distance, each peach blossom is a hazy pink spot, and the whole tree seems to be a peach tree elves.

The most lively one in the Five Rooms actually made a huge revolving lantern. The ancient Chinese used the principle of heat energy transmission to make the heat of the candle form an airflow, and then pushed the wheel axle to rotate, forming the earliest "cartoon" in the world.

Xiaoxiao looked up at the Eight Immortals crossing the sea like watching a movie. While she was moved by the wisdom of the ancients, she felt a little cold. The huge revolving lantern formed a whirring wind, blowing off Xiaoxiao's hood.

No wonder the ancient Lantern Festival was also called Lantern Festival. Xiaoxiao truly realized the meaning of Lantern Festival for the first time, and it was just in his own garden. I really don’t know what the grand scene would be in the street market outside?

"The largest lantern market in Kyoto is on the 16th day of the first lunar month. We will go outside to enjoy the lanterns tomorrow night!" Yanran said longingly.

Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly, and said that several friends would go to enjoy the lanterns together. At this moment, I couldn't wait to see the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

I looked up and looked at the moon without realizing it, but I still couldn't see it.

For a moment, I felt something cool falling on my nose. Xiaoxiao stretched out his hand from the warm cover and felt a small cold sand falling on his palm.

It's snowing?

The sisters all felt it: "Is it snowing? I didn't see the clouds covering the moon on August 15th. Why did the lights turn on the snow on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month?"

Stills Shu Yan said: "It's the sixteenth day of the first lunar month now."

The sisters suddenly realized that the snow was getting heavier and heavier at this moment, and everyone went back to their yards one after another.

Xiaoxiao walked back to the Zhuli Pavilion on the thin snow, looking at the glass bulb in the snow, the lying rabbit seemed like a mysterious crystal beast, from the sea or outer space.

The snowflakes gradually formed and snowflakes fell down. I don’t know how long this spring snow will last.
