Chapter 102 The Lantern Festival
  Not two days after Lin Feng returned to the county office, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was coming soon.

Su Shunnian came to the county magistrate's office and suggested: "Your Majesty, all affairs in the county went smoothly last year and great achievements were made. During the Chinese New Year, everyone went home to celebrate the holidays and there were no activities planned. This time Do you want to make the Lantern Festival lively and show off the new look of the county?"

"Okay, that's a good idea. It's time to have fun together all year round, so let's hold a Lantern Festival on Rulin Street, the main street of the county." Lin Feng responded.

"The Lantern Festival requires a lot of money, and now the households are out of money." Su Shunnian said worriedly.

"Don't worry, this kind of event can be held by the county government setting up a stage or performing operas in shops, and we don't have to spend money." Lin Feng thought of the festival model that was often held in later generations.

"How do you do this specifically?" Su Shunnian was obviously inexperienced and didn't know what to do.

"The county government came forward to organize this Lantern Festival and asked each shop to contribute some money to sell their products at the lantern festival, or to display their signs and promote it.

I asked Zhenming Group to cooperate first. It doesn’t cost much and has publicity effect. The shops should be happy with it. " Lin Feng said.

"Oh, I understand. Then I'll take care of it." Su Shunnian responded.

In the evening, Lin Feng returned to Lin's house and told Lin Wanyu about the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.

"Okay, okay, I haven't participated in the Lantern Festival for a long time. I must go and see it that night. Brother, you have to accompany me." Lin Wanyu said happily immediately.

"Okay, I'll go with you and call Li Xiongzhen," Li Feng said.

"Then invite Sister Ru Shi from the Li Mansion, and Sister Fang Xiaolan, and let's go out for a walk together." Lin Wanyu continued.

"Okay, then you will arrange the personnel." Lin Feng agreed.

Soon, the time came to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month.

After having dinner early that day, Lin Feng changed into casual clothes, took Fang Xiaoyu and a few other personal guards, and accompanied Mother Lin, Lin Wanyu, Fang Xiaolan, Li Xiongzhen and others on the street.

One advantage of being an official in ancient times was that there was no TV news or anything like that, and very few people had actually seen the county magistrate, so it was unlikely that he would be recognized on the streets.

Two days ago, Fang Xiaoyu had resigned as the leader of the fishing team. After Lin Feng asked the official office to conduct a brief inspection, he appointed Yu Yongan as the leader.

Now that Fang Xiaoyu has returned to Lin Feng, he has transferred five or six reliable members from the escort team and the Minzhuang team to form a personal guard team, with him as the captain.

Yu Yong'an knew that County Lord Lin was going to the streets tonight to enjoy the lanterns, so he also brought a few government officials over to prevent any collision with the County Lord.

Lin Feng drove him away with a few simple instructions, asking him to maintain order on the street and leave them alone.

Get a bunch of government officials to protect you, and even a fool can tell that it's an official taking to the streets. How can you still feel like shopping freely?

When the group of people arrived at the street entrance, Li Rushi was already waiting with her maid and two guards.

When he saw Lin Feng and others, he came up to say hello: "Brother Lin, you are here."

Lin Feng saw that Li Ru was wearing a thin long dress that showed off her figure, and asked with concern: "Xiao Shiyou is a little thin, is it cold?"

"Thank you, Brother Lin, for caring. I'm not cold." Li Rushi replied. It seems that girls in ancient and modern times are the same, as long as they have demeanor and not warmth.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go to enjoy the lanterns together." Lin Feng said.

At this time, Rulin Street has been divided into a small section of the street with each shop responsible for it, and colorful lanterns have been hung up.

Looking from a distance, the lights are shining and brilliant.

Although the weather is still relatively cold in January, the people of Fugu have had a rare good year this year and are very enthusiastic about taking to the streets. Most people are wearing the new wool coats launched by Prairie Trading, so they are not very afraid of the cold.

The streets are full of people selling snacks and merchandise, performing street art, and enjoying lanterns. It is very lively.

After walking for a while, I also saw a lot of lanterns. The largest and most beautiful ones were of course those made by the Zhenming series of shops, which have a lot of money. Whether it was Zhenming Bank, Li's Cereals and Oils, Sledgehammer Iron Art, or Grassland Trading, they all had a large-scale lantern. The lanterns, with the name of the shop written on them, not only entertained the people, but also took the opportunity to advertise. "Xiong Zhen, our Zhenming store occupies half of the business in Fugu County." Lin Feng said to Li Xiongzhen when he saw that half of the lanterns on the street were from the Zhenming Group.

"Yes, the group has developed very smoothly this year, so we made more lanterns to give back to the people of Fugu." Li Xiongzhen said.

"Our group still needs to focus on key industries, and some small businesses must be left to ordinary people to prevent them from losing their livelihood." Lin Feng ordered.

"Yes, we will pay attention to this." Li Xiongzhen replied.

At this time, Lin Wanyu and others passed by a stall selling candied haws on a stick and couldn't walk any further. They gathered around and carefully commented on the various candied haws.

Lin Feng immediately ordered Lin Jiakang to pay the bill and bought a bunch for each girl, and then the group continued to move forward.

Arriving at the center of Rulin Street, there were more people there. Colored lanterns were hung on the trees on both sides of the street, and a group of people were gathering around to guess lantern riddles.

Lin Wanyu and Li Rushi also gathered around happily.

I saw several rows of lantern riddles on the lantern riddle stall, divided into three groups from easy to difficult. Each guess costs one silver. If you guess all three questions correctly, you will be rewarded.

The little girls naturally liked this challenge and quickly gave them a penny to start guessing the riddles.

Li Rushi was still very good, and she quickly guessed two questions correctly. However, she ran into some trouble with the last question, and the girls couldn't figure it out even after chattering together for a long time.

Lin Feng went over to take a look and saw that it was a word puzzle: "It's already the end of the month after the distribution."

This kind of lantern puzzle was a bad thing in later generations. Lin Feng was also somewhat impressed. After a little bit of unraveling of the words, he knew the answer.

So he reminded: "Think about what day it is today."

"Yuanxiao! That's right, if you split the word "wan" and add the word "yue" and "dang" at the top, it's just the word "yuanxiao". Li Rushi immediately reacted.

After answering three questions correctly, the two girls won a doll as a prize and were very happy.

Although the prize is not unusual, it was won through his own wisdom. Although Lin Feng also helped, of course he was very happy.

Feeling a little hungry after walking around, Lin Feng found another wonton shop on the street and treated everyone to a bowl of hot Chaos.

Looking at the bustling scene on the street, Li Xiongzhen couldn't help but said, "I wonder how the Lantern Festival is in Taiyuan?"

"Xiong Zhen is homesick." Lin Feng answered.

"It's been almost half a year since I came out, and I feel a little homesick." Li Xiongzhen said with emotion.

"If you miss home, just go back. Recruit more available people from Taiyuan. Bring all the backbones of your family. By the way, you can also propose a marriage to Feng Mansion in Taiyuan for me." Lin Feng said, in case of being here If something goes wrong, Miss Feng must be picked up as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll go back in a few days." Li Xiongzhen said.

　Fourth more.
