After a while, Lily came back with a glowing face, and said excitedly: "The prince, the prince, and the eldest lady are competing to eat Yuanxiao while blindfolded. No, it should be said that they are guessing the stuffing while blindfolded!" Whoever guesses ten Yuanxiao fillings in a row will win the 'Lamp King'!"
The more Lily spoke, the more excited she became, her eyes shining: "I have gone to see it. That lamp king is indeed the lamp king. It is so exquisite, beautiful and magical..." said Lily, who lacked vocabulary. I can’t go on anymore, so I can only sum it up in one sentence, “Anyway, if you don’t go and see it, you will definitely regret it!”
Baihui looked at Lily from the side and felt very emotional. Her little cousin was still childish and was going to get married in a few days... It was really worrying! But from now on, her cousin will no longer be her responsibility... Thinking about it, Baihui felt a little sad again, and half-closed her eyes to cover up the strange color in her eyes.
Nangong Yue, Xiao Yi and Xiao Fei were all intrigued by Lily's words, and were about to step forward to take a look when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind:
"Ayue!"
"Brother!"
Nangong Yue and the others looked at the sound. Not far away, a group of slightly familiar faces were walking towards them. In addition to Fu Yunhe, Fu Yunyan and Wen Yu, Lian Yongyang was also traveling in plain clothes. In addition, there were Several young men and girls from the Fu family, and even two married aunts from the Fu family.
Since everyone was traveling in plain clothes, it was not convenient for them to salute, so Nangong Yue and the others were not too formal and stepped forward to briefly greet Yong Yang and other Fu family members.
"Ah Yue, what a coincidence, you and Ah Fei are here to enjoy the lanterns too!" Fu Yunyan trotted up to Nangong Yue with a smile and pointed at the arena curiously, "Why are there so many people over there? Do you know they are playing? What?"
Nangong Yue gave Lily a look, and Lily immediately explained again vividly. Her beaming look made several girls show some interest.
Fu Yunying, a nine-year-old girl from Fu Qi, asked curiously: "Is that revolving lantern really that beautiful?"
"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful!" Lily nodded vigorously.
Wen Yu looked at Yong Yang with a smile and said: "Grandma, how about we join in the fun? See if my grandson can win back the 'Lamp King'?"
Of course the reason for coming out to watch the lantern festival was to watch the fun and join in the fun. Since his grandson was interested, Yongyang couldn't let him down, so he immediately agreed.
So, Baihui, Lily and a few accompanying women tried to clear the way in front, skillfully pushing aside the crowd, and finally allowed a group of people to squeeze into the front of the crowd.
On the high platform, five blindfolded people are sitting on it, tasting glutinous rice balls, and reporting the filling ingredients one by one: "Lard, sesame, osmanthus, honey..."
As long as you say the wrong ingredient, you will be asked to leave the ring by the mustached boss wearing a brocade robe with a smile.
Although there are many people watching, there are actually not that many people lining up next to the ring. According to an aunt on the side, it costs ten copper coins to go on stage. Ten copper coins are enough to eat several bowls of Lantern Festival, so ordinary people Just try it once and then just watch.
Although this Yuanxiao is small, the fillings can be made from a mixture of several ingredients, so it’s not that easy to guess. Most people know this well, but there are still some people who are willing to try it several times. That is the charm of the "Lamp King".
Just behind the ring, an exquisite palace lantern-shaped revolving lantern hangs on the branch of a big tree. The lantern's base is decorated with golden cloud patterns, and the bottom is equipped with golden fringes and various tassels. , looks both festive and dazzling. The outer lampshade is a thin layer of white gauze, with a translucent hazy feeling. A white light bulb is placed on the wind disk inside the gauze lamp. In the red candlelight, the light bulb rotates slowly and slowly. , the green mountains and green waters are projected on the white gauze lamp screen. Several generals are galloping on their horses, chasing each other, exuding a kind of heroic spirit that dominates the world. Occasionally, a small butterfly is seen dancing on the green. The water is flying with cicada-like wings, adding a bit of tenderness and delicacy.
Wen Yu on the side sighed: "An ancient poem says: 'The wheel is riding with the flame spirit, flying around the city that never sleeps, the wind hyena chases the stars and makes a shadow, the frost hoof chases the lightning and goes away silently. The Qin army defeated Xianyang fire at night , Wu Juxiao galloped the Chibi soldiers; moreover, he recalled the days when Diao An was young, Zhang Tai stepped on the moon and shattered the bright moon. It is exactly the revolving lantern!"
"This lamp deserves to be called the King of Lamps!" Yong Yang also praised.
Although the aunt couldn't hear Wen Yu's elegant poems, she knew that he was definitely praising the "Lamp King". She puffed up her plump **** and said proudly: "That's right! The former boss In his early years, his father was the most famous lantern king in the entire royal capital. His craftsmanship in making lanterns was top-notch, and there was no better master than him. But later on, the original boss made a lot of money in business, and the original master stopped working. I was making lanterns for people. As soon as this 'Lamp King' was hung up today, someone paid me a thousand taels of silver. However, the original boss refused to sell it. He also said that this lantern would not be sold because it was for the lantern festival. Prizes keep everyone entertained."
Nangong Yue and the others looked at each other, the former boss was quite interesting.
The aunt lowered her voice, pointed at a young man in rich clothes and a middle-aged businessman on the ring and said: "This young man and that uncle are all eyeing the 'Lamp King'. They both I have participated in several rounds already!"
Fu Yunyan exclaimed: "They are not afraid of accumulating food!"
Yuanxiao is mainly made of glutinous rice. If you eat too much, you will accumulate food!
At this time, another round on the ring ended. Except for the young master and the businessman, several other people came down in disinterest. Some simply left, while others stayed there to continue watching.
"Cousin, I'll go and have fun with you too." Fu Yunyan said eagerly, "But my mother often said that I drink water like my hair. No matter how good the food is, it's the difference between delicious and not delicious when it comes into my mouth. ." There was a bit of self-deprecation and open-mindedness in her tone.
"Go ahead. Come and have fun if you want. You can also join in the fun." Yong Yang suggested with a smile.
Although Yongyang said so, except for Fu Yunyan, the other girls' families still did not come on stage. After all, they had to be blindfolded and eat glutinous rice **** on stage. If they were not careful, they would lose their etiquette in front of the public.
Fu Yunhe casually threw a silver ingot to the second brother who was collecting money, and everyone filed onto the stage.
After covering their eyes, the first round of Lantern Festival was served to everyone. The original boss "kindly" reminded: "This is composed of four ingredients."
"Bean paste, osmanthus, sugar..."
"Bean paste, osmanthus, honey..."
A "white sugar" successfully knocked Xiao Yi off the stage. Xiao Fei silently glanced at Xiao Yi who happily walked back to Nangong Yue, her eyes full of contempt. She felt that Fu Yunyan's words of "drinking water like hair" should be given to her eldest brother! The honey can taste like sugar! The delicious food that went into his mouth was really wasted...
Thanks to my sister-in-law, she always works hard to cook delicious food for him!
Two more rounds passed quickly on the stage. The second round of fruit glutinous rice **** eliminated Fu Yunhe and the two young men, and the third round of pork glutinous rice **** stumped Fu Yunyan again.
Fu Yunyan walked down the stage in frustration and said: "Ah Yue, it's a pity that cousin Yi is not here. If she were here, she might be able to win!" Hey, it's rare that my grandmother likes this lamp. She originally wanted to win the lamp king and give it to her grandmother. Woolen cloth! What a pity...
Nangong Yue smiled and shook her head, and could only comfort her: "Liu Niang, there is your cousin Yu."
Fu Yunyan raised his eyes and looked at Wen Yu, who was still blindfolded on the ring. He really had no confidence in his cousin...
The game on the stage is still going on... With each round, there will be fewer people on the stage. By the time of the last round, only Wen Yu is left on the stage.
Fu Yunyan's surprise in the middle turned into expectation now. With sparkling eyes, he held Nangong Yue's hand and said: "Ah Yue, it seems that this lamp king belongs to our family."
As he spoke, the surroundings became more and more noisy and lively. Many people heard that the "Lamp King" was about to be won away, and they all flocked here to watch the excitement, and talked about it:
"That young man has such a powerful tongue!"
"Yes, yes, I actually made it to the last round."
"I originally thought that the original boss was deliberately trying to make things difficult, but I didn't expect that someone would actually win."
"..."
While talking, the last round is over!
The original boss announced loudly on the ring: "Thank you for your participation today, this lamp king will be given to this young master!"
Amidst the applause and cheers, Wen Yu carried the revolving lantern down from the ring and walked to Yong Yang. He presented the revolving lantern to Yong Yang with a smile and said, "Grandma, my grandson wants to use this 'Lamp King' Given to you, do you like it?"
How could Yongyang not like his grandson's filial piety? He smiled from ear to ear and said, "Brother Yu, of course grandma likes it."
Fu Sanniang, who was accompanying Yongyang, said jokingly: "Cousin Yu, I know you respect your grandmother, but don't forget us cousins!"
Wen Yu smiled slightly and responded calmly: "How dare you forget your cousin..." As he said that, he pointed to the right and saw the original boss walking towards this direction, followed by several young people. Second, each person held several lanterns in their hands.
"Brother Wen and I hit it off right away," the original boss said with a smile, "Brother Wen, don't be polite to me, just give these lanterns to Brother Wen."
"Thank you, the original boss." Wen Yu thanked the other party with a cup of fists, and then distributed the lanterns to several Fu family girls one by one, and ended up with two more.
"The Crown Princess, Miss Xiao," Wen Yu looked at Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei with a smile, "There are two more lanterns here, please accept them!"
There were only two lanterns on the left and right, and they were given in front of the elders. It was in line with the rules, so Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were disrespectful.
Wen Yu gave one of the plum blossom lanterns to Xiao Fei and one of the jade rabbit lanterns to Nangong Yue.
"Thank you, Mr. Wen." Xiao Feifu thanked her and raised the rose-red plum blossom lamp in her hand. The candlelight reflected on her little face through the gauze, making her skin seem to be glowing with a layer of rouge. blush.
From the beginning to the end, Wen Yu's behavior was polite and impeccable, but Nangong Yue always felt that something was wrong...
"Girl, the color of your lantern matches your clothes so well." Tao Yao praised in a low voice beside Xiao Fei.
One sentence attracted Nangong Yue's attention. She looked around thoughtfully. After careful observation, she noticed that the plum blossom lantern in Xiao Fei's hand was the only one among them. The jade rabbit lantern in my hand and the mushroom lantern in Fu Yunyan's hand both have two or three duplicates. Could it be that I am too worried?
"Ah Yue, Ah Yi, where are you going next?" Fu Yunyan came over carrying a round mushroom lantern and suggested, "How about we come together?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Wen Yu say from the side: "Prince Xiao, Crown Princess, I heard that many believers will go to Santai Temple to set up Kongming lanterns tonight, and the scene will be very spectacular."
Xiao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she blurted out: "Isn't that 'the sky lanterns flying in all directions make people live as long as a sage'? Sister-in-law..." Xiao Fei looked at Nangong Yue expectantly, her dark eyes shining brightly. Her eyes are like the moon hidden in the flowing clouds.
Nangong Yue was just guessing at first, but now she is almost 80 to 90% sure that Wen Yu is trying to please Xiao Fei. She couldn't help but recall the scenes at the fire party a few days ago, which seemed to be a sign of this.
It is human nature to admire Shao Ai when he knows he is lustful, but Nangong Yue always felt that Wen Yu's attitude was a little too deliberate...
Is she paranoid?
"Okay." Fu Yunyan said happily, "Let's set off the Kongming lanterns!" As she said that, she looked at Nangong Yue and the others expectantly.
They are very close to the Yongyang Mansion, and it is always inappropriate to refuse for no reason. Nangong Yue said to Xiao Fei with a smile: "Sister Fei, let's go to Santai Temple and have a look."
So, the group continued to move forward to Santai Temple.
At this time, there were more and more people on the road. Every few steps, you could see various stalls and restaurants engaged in various activities, and dragon and lion dance teams passed by from time to time. The atmosphere was lively.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi stopped and looked to the right. Vaguely, he seemed to see a familiar figure from behind, but before he could see it clearly, the figure merged into the crowd and disappeared. trace.
"Ayi?"
"It's okay." Xiao Yi smiled and held Nangong Yue's hand, "Let's go."
The bustling crowd greatly disturbed their walking speed, and they managed to walk for more than half an hour as far as one stick of incense could cover.
By the time they arrived at Santai Temple, it was already nearly Haishi.
Fu Yunyan excitedly pulled Nangong Yue and rushed to the temple, urging: "Everyone, hurry up, the Kongming lanterns will be released at Haishi!"
As if to confirm her words, one, two, three... hundreds of sky lanterns rose slowly in the night wind like white doves, and the candlelight flickered in the sky lanterns.
I saw that the courtyard behind the main hall was already crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder. People either leaned over to light their own Kongming lanterns, or looked up to watch the countless Kongming lanterns floating high and low in the sky, which was almost as bright as the night sky. The stars are still shining, they are getting farther and farther away, slowly blending into the stars in the night sky, and finally disappearing.
This scene is so beautiful!
The girls all looked up and stared intently...
I don’t know how long it took, but the Kongming lanterns in the night sky became sparse and the crowd around them began to disperse.
Xiao Fei looked back with some lingering thoughts, Nangong Yue comforted her with a smile: "Sister Fei, let's light the Kongming Lanterns next time too!"
"Next time" represents good expectations... Xiao Fei couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, someone in the crowd screamed hysterically and loudly: "Ah! It's gone!"
One sentence is like a pebble dropped into a lake, quickly causing ripples in circles and spreading around...
"Look, it's gone!"
"Everyone, run!"
"It's gone! It's gone!"
"..."
Nangong Yue followed the sound and saw thick smoke coming out from the direction of the main hall. In it, she could faintly see red flames rising all the way up and spreading to all directions. After a while, she saw the thick smoke billowing into the sky. Gone into the night sky.
Others naturally saw it too. Fu Yunyan was still calm, while most of the other girls from the Fu family had turned pale and were at a loss.
Nangong Yue's heart sank, Xiao Yi quickly grabbed her wrist, while Lily hurriedly blew out the lanterns in her hands, shouting loudly: "Everyone blow out the lanterns first!" Where was the time to escape? There are still people who care about lanterns, but if they throw burning lanterns around, it is likely to create new fire points and even cause the fire to spread faster.
Yongyang glanced at Lily appreciatively and hurriedly warned: "Everyone, be careful and try not to get separated..."
But her voice was drowned in the crazily surging sea of people in the blink of an eye...
The panicked crowd surged around like headless flies. Everyone was blindly trying to escape from here... In this extreme panic, the power of the crowd was like the rolling incoming The mudslide pushed Nangong Yue and others with a roar and they had to run out along with the flow of people.
When she could slow down a little, Nangong Yue nervously discovered that Xiao Fei was missing.
"Prince Princess, I'll go look for you!" Lily said, and quickly squeezed in against the crowd.
"Lily!" Nangong Yue was about to tell her to be careful, but Lily had disappeared.
Nangong Yue felt anxious and uneasy, wondering if Lily could find Xiao Fei.
Xiao Yi carefully hugged Nangong Yue's shoulders, protected most of her body in his arms, and followed the direction of the crowd towards the gate.
The surroundings are extremely chaotic. You can see lanterns that have been thrown aside everywhere. The candles in the lanterns ignite the withered grass and burst into flames. Before you know it, Santai Temple is filled with turbidity. The thick smoke makes it difficult to see the direction...
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue rushed out of the temple gate in one go. As soon as they arrived outside, they saw Yong Yang and Fu Yunyan already outside. Fu Yunyan hurriedly came up to greet her and said happily: "Ah Yue, Ayi, you're fine... Where's Afei?"
"Sister Fei and we were crowded apart." Nangong Yue looked towards the temple worriedly. Before, only the main hall was on fire, but now at a glance, both the side hall on the left and the wing on the right were on fire. The flames are swaying, and the fire is showing its teeth and claws. Just looking at it from such a distance makes people feel uneasy...
At this time, Fu Yunhe also protected Fu Sanniang and rushed out of the temple. Fu Sanniang's hair was slightly messy, her face was half-smeared with makeup, and there was a familiar figure behind them.
"Taoyao!" Nangong Yue stepped forward quickly and asked anxiously, "Where is your girl?" Why wasn't Xiao Fei with Taoyao?
Tao Yao's face was already black and red, and she was in a very embarrassed state. She said with a sad face: "The Crown Princess, the servants and the eldest daughter were crowded away..."
In other words, Xiao Fei was still in the sea of fire, and Nangong Yue's face suddenly turned pale without a trace of blood, and her slender body was trembling slightly.
Sister Fei, will she be okay?
Nangong Yue felt a throbbing pain in her heart and couldn't help but think: If anything happens to Sister Fei, it will be all her own fault! If I hadn't insisted on keeping Sister Fei in the royal capital, Sister Fei would have returned to southern Xinjiang now, so she wouldn't have suffered this disaster...
She was still thinking wildly when Xiao Yi beside her suddenly said in a deep voice: "Ah Yue, wait for me here..."
"Ayi..."
Nangong Yue intuitively raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yi, only to see Xiao Yi striding towards the temple: "I'm going to find Xiao Fei!"
Nangong Yue subconsciously wanted to chase, but was immediately grabbed by Fu Yunyan beside him: "Ah Yue!"
Nangong Yue calmed down, yes, if she followed him at this time, wouldn't she cause trouble for A Yi?
What she can do now is wait, and——
She looked at the monks coming in and out carrying buckets of water, and the countless men and women who came from nearby carrying buckets to put out the fire.
Nangong Yue calmed down and told Baihui: "Baihui, I will be fine with Grandma Yongyang. You and the guards should help put out the fire. ...Be careful yourself."
"Yes, Crown Princess." Baihui immediately took the order and left.
Everyone looked worriedly in the direction of Santai Temple, and at this time, poor Xiao Fei was trapped in the side hall at a loss. She was squeezed into this side hall by the crowd. It is said that as long as she passed through this side hall, she could escape from the temple through the side door.
But there were too many people at that time. I don’t know who knocked over the candle in front of the Buddha, and a fire quickly broke out in the side hall. The fire at that time could actually be extinguished, but the extreme panic made the crowd lose their minds. , so that they allowed the fire to spread and only focused on escaping. Later, almost the entire side hall was plunged into a sea of fire...
Xiao Fei watched helplessly as several people rushed out of the back of the side hall, and their robes burned instantly. Although the fire was finally extinguished after those people rolled on the ground a few times, it still burned them to a miserable state.
She hesitated and lost the opportunity. A burning beam fell down with a bang, forming a wall of fire at the door, blocking the way and trapping her and a middle-aged woman in the side hall.
The two of them immediately wanted to go back the way they came, but the road they came from was already surrounded by fire, and the heat was blowing against their faces, making it almost impossible for them to move.
"Girl, what should we do? We are dead now!" the middle-aged woman said in fear, her lips trembling.
It was winter, but they felt like they were in a huge furnace, sweating profusely.
What to do? Xiao Fei took a deep breath, tried hard to calm down, and said: "I remember I once read in a miscellaneous book that when there is a fire, it is best to wet the sheet and put it on your body, and then rush out..."
"But where are the sheets here..." As she said that, the middle-aged woman looked at the cloaks on Xiao Fei and herself, with a look of joy on her face. Fortunately, she was wearing a cloak because of the cold weather.
Xiao Fei looked around again, her eyes fell on the vase on the altar table, and she hurriedly ran over, but she heard the middle-aged woman behind her exclaim: "Girl, be careful!"
Xiao Fei was startled, and heard a "click" sound coming from above her head, followed by another sound, followed by scattered sparks falling down one after another.
No matter how slow Xiao Fei was, she felt something was wrong. She quickly raised her head and widened her eyes in disbelief.
On the roof of the side hall, a blazing beam fell with a "bang", faster and faster, and the surging heat rushed towards her face, so hot that it almost set her on fire.
Xiao Fei knew she should hide, but at this time her body was completely out of control and could not move at all. She could only watch the beam like a flaming sword getting closer and closer to her. The closer...
I didn’t expect that I would die like this, but I still have a lot of books that I haven’t read yet? If I had known her...
One thought after another flashed rapidly in Xiao Fei's mind. At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, followed by a familiar voice: "Why are you standing there stupidly?"
In the red fire, a silver sword light looked extremely eye-catching. It struck the beam neatly, splitting it in two. Then there were only two loud "bang bang" sounds, and the two beams were heavy. It fell to the ground, and countless sparks flew out.
"Brother..."
Xiao Fei looked at the other party's incredibly handsome face in the firelight in disbelief. To her, this handsome face with disgust and impatience was so familiar, yet so strange at the same time!
If the eldest brother had come a little later, she would have been burned beyond recognition by now, right?
Thinking of this, Xiao Fei suddenly felt a little scared, her slender body trembled violently, and even Xiao Yi's disgusted eyes seemed to feel more friendly.
