Chapter 211 Lantern Festival

At the beginning of the first month of the first lunar month, there are a lot of fish and dragons, and there are sights of silver flowers and fiery trees...

Five colors and ten lights, especially the best

Lu Singge was ill and was kept at home by Qiu for several days.

During this period, Song Yunfei came twice, but Chunhua and Qiushi shut him out and ignored him.

Maybe there was something wrong with the Yulin Guards, and Song Yunfei never came again after that.

It wasn't until the Lantern Festival started on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month that Lu Xiangge was allowed to go out as an exception.

The Lantern Festival in Beijing starts from the 14th day of the first lunar month and ends on the 16th day of the first lunar month, lasting for three days. During these days, every household takes to the streets to enjoy the lanterns, celebrate the Lantern Festival, welcome Zigu, walk around, pinch the zodiac signs, and eat glutinous rice balls.

, setting off lanterns, lighting up dragon lanterns, setting off fireworks, lion dancing, walking on stilts...

The streets and alleys are all decorated with lights and colorful decorations to celebrate the festival.

Women who have no children at home, or those who have married a new daughter-in-law, will take advantage of this festival to go to the temple to worship and offer incense, and bring home a lively and lovely clay doll. This means that the family will have a grandchild by the end of the year or next year.

During the Lantern Festival in the sixth year of Dashang Dynasty, the royal palaces and noble families in Beijing placed special lanterns in Beijing.

There is a mountain of lanterns connected by various lanterns. The paintings of crouching tigers, dragons, birds and animals in the mountains are vivid and exquisite. The people passing by are in twos and threes, holding lanterns in their hands, including flowers, birds, fish, insects, birds and animals, all kinds of, which makes people feel

Dizzying.

The lanterns in the palace are the most eye-catching. Hundreds of lanterns are connected to form a giant dragon hovering in the air. From a distance, the dragon is shining brightly, reflecting a prosperous and peaceful age.

Most lamps are made of rice paper, single-gloss paper, and fine tissue paper.

In order to show their wealth, powerful families used silk lamps as the most popular ones, and some also used silk and silk as various figures to show off their uniqueness. Those who enter the market feel as if they are entering a cold palace.

The Lu family walked along Sanshan Street until they could see the inner bridge being blocked from a distance, and then stopped.

Merchants gathered on both sides of Zhonghua Road. The crowds were so crowded that it was difficult for cars and horses to move.

"Xiaosi, hold on to Xiaowu."

"Xiaoyu, hold on to Qingluan."

"Chunhua, you follow the Fourth Young Master."

"Qiushi, you follow the third and fourth girls."

Along the way, Mrs. Qiu kept chattering, worrying about this and thinking about that, and even her voice became hoarse.

"Mom, are you tired?"

Lu Sheige took Xiao Wu and thoughtfully stepped forward to support Qiu, "Let's go sit in Jixiang Building. I asked shopkeeper Li to reserve a room specially."

When I heard about going to Jixiang Tower, Lu Xiaowu was the first to raise his hand: "Fourth brother, I'm tired, my waist hurts and my legs are sore."

"Nonsense, I've only walked a few steps." Mrs. Qiu gently patted Lu Xiaowu on the head in an angry and funny tone, "My back still hurts. The kid has no waist."

"How come you have no waist?"

Lu Xiaowu raised his hand and gestured to the back of his belly, which was slightly rounder than his own, "What is this if it's not a waist?"

"It's a bucket." After Lu Xiaoyu said it, he couldn't help laughing, "Look at you, your waist is the same. It's the same thickness at the top and bottom. You can't even see the waist."

"Second sister." Lu Xiaowu stamped his feet angrily.

Xiao Wu has suffered from physical problems since he was a child. As he got older, he became more persistent in eating, and his eating habits made him look plump and cute.

In an era when most people don't have enough to eat, Lu Xiaowu is a symbol of the Lu family's wealth.

Fortunately, he is still young and will have to draw a strip in the future. Lu Quan, Qiu and other children in the family are all slender, so Lu Xiaowu will not be too fat.

"Okay, your third sister is teasing you." Mrs. Qiu smiled and pulled Lu Xiaowu into her arms, "Mom, hold on to you, don't listen to your third sister's nonsense."

Because they have suffered so much and don't dare to look back on the days when they had nothing to eat or drink, people of Qiu's generation still like children who are fatter and rounder. In their eyes, fatness means health.

Xiaowu was the only male born to the Lu family, so Qiu naturally felt more partial to him.

He touched Lu Xiaowu's little face lovingly. He really couldn't say that Lu Xiaowu was not fat against his will, so he could only cast his eyes on Lu Qingluan, who was being held by Lu Xiaoyu.

"I don't know how this child Qingluan grows up and looks so good. He's neither fat nor thin, but he's still good-looking."

Qingluan also likes to eat, and because she has been following Lu Xiange, she gets a lot of good things, but no matter how much she eats, she still doesn't gain weight. Even Mrs. Qiu can't help but envy him, the fourth sister, on behalf of her son.

.

Lu Qingluan blushed with embarrassment and said in a voice like an oriole: "Mom, fourth brother said that you need to eat more and exercise more to avoid gaining weight."

Although she eats a lot, she has followed her fourth brother to study at Qingshan Academy since she was a child, and sometimes she has to go to the store to check accounts.

When she arrived in the capital, with Chunhua and Qiushi, she no longer followed her fourth brother, but she had to follow her around the yard for most of an hour every morning and evening.

"That's right, let Xiao Wu run with you from now on." Mrs. Qiu also pushed Xiao Wu, "Do you hear me? Get up earlier in the future and run with your fourth brother and sister, so that you won't gain weight."

Lu Xiaowu looked at Mrs. Qiu sadly, feeling full of grievances.

He's no longer a fucking big boy.

Just now she said his third sister was talking nonsense, and now she dislikes him for being fat.

Dad didn't dare to refute what mother said, and Lu Xiaowu even less dared. He could only endure it angrily, and made up his mind to eat a few more snacks when he got to Jixiang Tower to soothe his injured little self-esteem.

The family decided to go to Jixiang Building and stopped going downstairs.

The street was very lively, but there were many people and many lights, and they had their children with them, so it was better to go to the Jixiang Building to sit down and watch the lights.

Here, Lu Sheige led his family away from the inner bridge and headed towards Jixiang Tower.

Before reaching Jixiang Tower, I heard a "bang" and a fire burning in the direction of the inner bridge in the distance illuminated half of the sky.

People in the entire street market were alarmed, and they all looked up at the place where the fire was burning.

Lu Sheige looked at the fire in the distance and squeezed towards the inner bridge uncontrollably.

"Dad...Dad..."

"Xiaosi." Lu Quan went up and grabbed Lu Xiangge's sleeve, "Xiaosi, dad is here."

But there was no Lu Quan in Lu Sheige's eyes. She had just had a big dream a few days ago, and the memories of her previous life came back to her mind.

The fire in her home almost became her nightmare.

It was this fire that destroyed her family.

If he hadn't saved her, her father would not have died.

Lu Xiangge will never forget the scene when she was carried by her uncle and ran towards the backyard. Her father and the family nurse blocked the human wall and was shot by countless arrows.

She wants to save her father, she wants to save her father.

She didn't want her father to die with thousands of arrows piercing his heart, and she didn't want those thieves to burn down her home.

"Little Four."

Mrs. Qiu also panicked, and stepped forward to hug Xiaosi, "Xiaosi, don't be afraid, I am a mother, I am a mother."

Because this place is only separated from the inner bridge by a street market and a river.

The raging fire on the inner bridge quickly spread, and countless people screamed and ran away.

The entire capital suddenly fell into chaos.

Seeing that Mrs. Qiu couldn't hold Lu Shengge, Chunhua took courage and stepped forward to knock Lu Shengge out with a sword. He picked up Lu Shengge with his backhand and shouted: "Quick, get in the building."

Qiushi also quickly picked up Lu Xiaowu, dragged Lu Quan who was at a loss, and rushed into Jixiang Tower.

Shopkeeper Li, who had already greeted him at the door, quickly pulled Lu Xiaoyu, who was standing stunned with fear, into the building. In his panic, Lu Xiaoyu did not forget to grab his mother Qiu.

Shopkeeper Li took advantage of everyone entering the building and quickly closed the door so that no one dared to let it in.
