Chapter 1957 Lantern Festival
And it was specially given a holiday. Anyone who has no errands can go out for a walk. Everyone happily thanked them, ate glutinous rice **** in a lively manner, and went out for a walk with friends and companions.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunyun also went out together.
An An was too young, and the lantern festival was crowded with people, so they didn't take him there.
There are also many lights in the yard, and An An is also very happy to play. Qiao Xuan deliberately avoided him and went out secretly, but he didn't notice it.
The flower lantern district is a yamen that has been demarcated early, two long streets and a wide square connected.
Tonight, the lantern area is under control, cars and horses are not allowed to enter, and there are yamen guards at each entrance.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunyun got off the carriage, and before they walked over, they were already surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the crowd.
"A lot of lights, it's so lively! Next year, An An will be a little older, and you can bring him with you!"
Qiao Xuan said with a smile. Sure enough, after having a child, if you don't take him with you when you go out, you must also take him in the three sentences.
Shao Yunyun tightened the rose-red embroidered cloak with rabbit velvet trim for her, holding her hand and walking forward, "An An is still young, he can go wherever he can go by himself."
This year's Lantern Festival is not only meant to celebrate the success of bandit suppression, but also to make good luck for the newly appointed Zhizhou adults. All businesses and big households give face, and decorate these two streets into a splendid and dazzling array, so that Dazzled, one step at a time.
All kinds of lanterns, you can admire them all the way, not to mention the exquisite styles and patterns, but the materials are silk, yarn, silk, kraft paper, snow wave paper, mulberry paper, wood, bamboo , feathers, glaze, jade, etc., with various shapes and multicolored patterns, with various colors of silk, jade, beads, thorns... The exquisite workmanship and the ingenuity of living alone will make people's eyes shine from time to time.
In the wide square, there are 24 giant lanterns like small houses. The national color is youthful, auspicious and happy, the pine crane is rejuvenating, the carp leaps over the dragon gate, the Chang'e flies to the moon, the prosperous lotus, and the bamboo reports peace. ...The competition for beauty and beauty, and the splendid flowers, attracted countless people to stop to joke and give pointers.
There are also many potted flowers around the giant lanterns. Lilies, chrysanthemums, and azaleas are in full bloom, adding to the lively atmosphere of the festival.
Qiao Xuan was in high spirits all the way, and the admiration in her mouth hardly stopped, and she felt even more regretful in her heart. It's a pity that such beautiful scenery cannot be preserved in the form of photos. If you want to see it after today, you have to wait until next year!
Shao Yunyun reserved a private room in advance at a teahouse next to the square, and the two walked around the square before preparing to sit in the teahouse and overlook the scenery from afar.
Unexpectedly, I haven't gone far, and I happened to meet Mrs. Jia and two other ladies who were also enjoying the lanterns together.
The three Mrs. Jia were very pleasantly surprised and came up to say hello, and Qiao Xuan had to entertain one or two.
One of them, Mrs. Lin, said with a very attentive smile that she had reserved a private room, and warmly invited Qiao Xuan to sit with her. Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Long also smiled and invited. She also didn't want people to feel that she was inhumane, so she smiled and let Shao Yun go away, and she and Madam Jia would go back to the house later.
The three ladies were even more delighted when they heard it, politely said goodbye to Master Shao, and went with Qiao Xuan.
