The new year passes in the blink of an eye, and after the new year comes the Lantern Festival.

Because going to the Lantern Festival last year left a bad impression on Wei Ziqian and his wife, this year, Wei Ziqian and Xia Sichan tacitly did not mention going to the Lantern Festival.

This year's Lantern Festival is more lively than ever. Fireworks and firecrackers have been banned for a year, but are also allowed to be set off in the New Year.

There are lanterns and festoons in the capital, and lions and tigers dance. It is said that tonight, officials made 99 tubes of fireworks and scattered them all over the capital to set off.

Therefore, people who have just passed the New Year look forward to the arrival of this day.

On the first day of the Shangyuan Festival, no matter ordinary people or high-ranking officials, almost all of them will come out to join in the fun before it gets dark.

In the bustling night market, there is an endless stream of exquisitely crafted lanterns of various colors hanging on both sides of the street, revealing a colorful and radiant halo.

The lively crowd, colorful lanterns, smiling adults and children, and the smell of incense powder in the air.

Under the fiery tree and silver flowers, the moonlight shines on the person, together with the colorful lantern, and the girl with a peach blossom face followed by the handsome young man who chanted the enigma on the lantern.

In Duke Baoguo's mansion, although Xia Sichan did not go to the lantern festival, Wei Ziqian could not let her spend the lonely Lantern Festival like this.

As early as a few days ago, someone cleaned up the gazebo at the highest point in the mansion.And put a few pots of charcoal fire in the corner of the gazebo.

In this way, people will not feel cold in the gazebo at night.

When night falls, people hang all kinds of beautiful lanterns around the pavilion.

The paintings on these lanterns were drawn by Wei Ziqian stroke by stroke.

There are flowers, birds, fish and insects on the lanterns, flowers of various colors, and landscapes.

When the lanterns come on, hang all these lanterns on the pavilion and nearby branches and rocks of the rockery.

Tonight is a reunion festival. During the day, Chen Yuan invited the opera troupe to sing a half-day opera on the stage in the mansion.

Nanny Wang arranged the servants in the mansion separately so that everyone could come and listen to a play.

It can also be regarded as a New Year's benefit given by the servants of Duke Bao's Mansion.

In the evening, the whole family had the last reunion dinner together in Qingxiang Garden.

Since New Year's Eve, Wei Ziqian's family of four eats in Qingxiang Garden every day except for breakfast, until today's Lantern Festival.

From tomorrow onwards, everyone will eat their own food again.

After eating and drinking enough, Wei Ziqian said goodbye to his parents and went back to Huiyuan. Wei Ziqian held his son in one hand, and Xiao Shenrong's chubby hand wrapped in a small brocade cloak and Xia Sichan in the other held her in the middle, the husband and wife The two led little Shen Rong to Hui Yuan.

The moon hangs high, the sky is full of stars, and the night wind has a clear taste of ice and snow. The strands of night wind blowing over the face, not only do not feel biting, but are refreshing.

"Grandma Lu. Take the little princess and Brother Yuan back first, and let the nanny take good care of you." Wei Ziqian told Grandma Lu who had just come out of Qingxiang Garden and walked through a hand-painted veranda to follow them to Qingxiang Garden.

Nanny Lu made a blessing and said, "Yes, my lord."

Wei Ziqian turned around and did not forget to say to Xiao Chenrong: "Smile, take your brother back and see what good gifts Daddy has prepared for you."

Little Shen Rong stepped on his calf.I am enjoying being led by my parents.

Suddenly Dad asked this question, curious in a daze, why did he go well and asked me to take my brother back?But, nothing is more important than a gift.Little Shen Rong nodded his head and cheerfully agreed: "Yes!"

The rabbit lamp that Wei Ziqian made for Xiao Shen Rong this year not only has four wooden wheels under his feet, but also a colorful windmill on the two rabbit teeth exposed by the little rabbit.

As the little rabbit light "squeaked", the windmill also turned rapidly.

After the children left, Wei Ziqian walked towards the gazebo in the back courtyard holding Xia Sichan's little hand.

"Wow, sir, look, the lanterns here are so beautiful!" Xia Sichan exclaimed after entering the arched door of Hou Yuanzi, looking up at the winding lanterns like a sea of ​​lights.

Wei Ziqian smiled and asked in a warm voice, "Do you like Chan'er?"

"I love it, it's so beautiful!" Xia Sichan nodded happily.

"I like it, my husband arranges it like this every year for you to see, okay?"

"Okay, good!"

Wei Ziqian looked down and saw that his little wife was happy like a little girl, and he was also in a happy mood.

As long as you spend a little time on yourself, hang lanterns all over your house, so as not to save your little wife from going outside to watch the lanterns, meeting annoying disciples, and those uneducated women spying on you.What a swarm of bees and butterflies.
He smelled the unique body fragrance of his little wife that smelled better than orchids in his nostrils. It was worthwhile for him to smile for Bo's little wife after working hard for the past few days.

Wei Ziqian led Xia Sichan's little hand up the stairs, and entered the gazebo without feeling the cold.

Looking at the burning charcoal fire placed around the gazebo, and the glass lamps with copper feet several feet high at the four corners.

The light of glazed lanterns contrasted with the lanterns around the gazebo and the bright moon in the sky, making the surroundings look like daytime.

It was early spring, and all the flowers in the back garden were withered, only winter plum blossoms.

I still see white plums, green plums, and red plums forming a sea of ​​flowers, with a faint fragrance floating and the sea of ​​flowers stretching.

Suddenly, a firework exploded in the sky, lighting up the night in an instant. Crowds of people crowded in from all directions. Qin Yuan, who originally just wanted to hang around, was squeezed in and forced to follow the crowd. Go forward.Everyone pushed and shoved each other, with smiles on their faces, but there was no malice. They were ordinary people who lived seriously, and it was rare to have such a carnival opportunity.Everyone raised their eyes in unison, and the silent night sky was suddenly illuminated with brilliance, as gorgeous as a dazzling spring flower.Immediately afterwards, more and more fireworks "bang bang bang" rushed into the sky, blooming gorgeously.

Wei Ziqian held Xia Sichan's little hand tightly, stood in the gazebo and looked up at the fireworks set off in the palace in the distance.

When the 99 fireworks were set off, and people thought it was over, the sound of "bang bang." came from the direction of Baoguo Duke's mansion, and suddenly there seemed to be countless fireworks exploding in the sky, exploding in their ears. It's gorgeous and colorful.

They have different shapes, some are like delicate flowers, and some are like falling rain. The green fireworks dance shyly, and merge with the pale yellow light in an instant. As time goes by, the fireworks get louder and louder. There are so many, the entire Baoguo Duke's Mansion is like daylight, incredibly beautiful and bright.

"Bang bang," "crackling."

"Wow! It's so beautiful..." Xia Sichan raised her face, like a little girl, and almost jumped up in excitement.

She grabbed Wei Ziqian and pointed to the one in Zhengdong: "Look, Mrs., it's a pink phoenix! There's also a blue phoenix surrounding her, so romantic!"

She knew that the person next to her must have let it go, and moved to lift up Yun Li's small face: "Thank you, Mr. Xiang."

"Like it?"

"Like. Mmm."

Before Xia Sichan could finish her words of gratitude, she was held in Wei Ziqian's arms and sealed with a kiss. (End of Chapter)
