Chapter 74 Shangqiu Lantern Festival

When Wang Yanling and everyone heard that someone came from Luzhou Prefecture, they didn't know what was going on, so they quickly went out to greet them. Wang Yanling saw that the leader was not Tao Yuan, but his good friend Tao Yuan, followed by a girl who was Yuer, and there were many people behind, men, women, old and young, all kinds of things;

At the same time, Tao Yuan and Yuer also saw Wang Yanling. When they met, they looked at each other and held their four hands tightly together to talk, but the first thing they saw was tears...

Later, Wang Yanling looked at it and said that it couldn't be like this. Hurry in. Everyone rushed to the courtyard, but Tao Yuan and others were stunned. When they saw that there were eleven coffins stopped in the courtyard, the people inside were very depressed. Tao Yuan asked eagerly, "What's going on?"

Wang Yanling told the story of the incident. Tao Yuan also shed tears when he heard it, because two of the five real people also died at the hands of Tao Yuan. In other words, these people were also for his loss of life in the seven-star ring, so he was also very sad. Everyone also came out to meet, Jin Ziyu and the rest The old man met with the people of Luzhou Prefecture, and the two sides met each other. Wang Yanling introduced Tao Yuan and Yuer to the people here, and also introduced Tao Yuan and Yuer to them. Tao Yuan heard that these were all ten elders in Shandong, and also came to see the ceremony. Then Tao Yuan called the people behind him and first introduced the ancient tomb old man Gu Sifang to everyone, and him. Sun Ergu Xiaoyi, Mr. Hongbi Meng Jiugong, everyone has also seen each other...

So where did Tao Yuan come from? We have to start from the small fishing village in Ziyun Mountain. After Tao Yuan broke up with Wang Yanling that day, Li Yulang took two villagers to row a boat and sent Tao Yuan and Yuer to Shangqiu against the current. They were speechless all the way. At night, they arrived at Shangqiu wharf. Tao Yuan and Yuer landed. Li Yulang said that they had something else to do, so they A villager went back to the small fishing village. When they left, Tao Yuan and Yuer discussed. We had to find an inn to rest for a night. We got up early tomorrow morning and arrived at Bianliang City in Tokyo before dark, but it was already late. I don't know if the gate was closed. They came here to have a look. It was really lucky. Not today. Knowing what day it is, the gate has not been closed, and many people came out to enter. Tao Yuan and Yuer entered Shangqiu City. Shangqiu has been a big city since ancient times, which is very prosperous. In addition, it is also the first to get to the water. It is relatively close to Bianliang City, and the business is very prosperous. As soon as the two entered the city, they took a look. It's really lively. The lights of thousands of families are full of lights. They found an old store of the Li family by the edge of the city. The small shop is not big, but it is very clean and quiet. The shopkeeper is more than 50 years old, loyal and very kind. He took the initiative to chat up, "You two, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

Tao Yuan nodded, "How many rooms do you want?" We are relatively remote here, so there are not many people staying in the hotel!"

Yu'er said, "We just want a room with two beds!"

The shopkeeper promised to ask the clerk to prepare, and Tao Yuan asked the shopkeeper, "What's your name?"

"Your surname is Li. You are ranked fifth at home, and people call me Li Wu."

Tao Yuan continued, "I see the excitement today. Is there something wrong? I don't think the gates have been closed today?"

Manager Li said, "Actually, when you listen to the accent, you know that you are not locals. There is a good show tonight."

Yuer quickly took over the words as soon as she heard it, "What's a good play? Hurry up!"

Shopkeeper Li was happy, "Today is the Lantern Festival in Shangqiu. Although the lantern festival is only on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we have a lantern festival here every month. It's really a coincidence that you came today. Just in time. After dinner and walk on the street, it will be fun!" Yuer was overheard. Along the way, she was fighting and killing, and she almost lost her life. It was time to relax. She looked back at Tao Yuan, "Brother Tao? How about we go out for a walk in the evening?

Tao Yuanhe had this intention, so he readily agreed, "Okay!"

After dinner, the two came to the street together and looked at the people who seemed to be walking in one direction. In fact, it was the Red Cross Street in Shangqiu, which was also the most lively area. The two also followed the crowd to Red Cross Street. Everyone's faces were full of smiles and went to Red Cross Street. Good boy, a First of all, the tall lantern archway is in sight. It's really spectacular. Hundreds of lanterns are hanging together, and there is a big red flower hanging on the top, but it is not the hydrangea thrown by the bride. In front is a table, not very high, about five feet, all red, big red railings, big The red carpet and red silk strips fluttered in the wind, which were very beautiful. Tao Yuan and Yuer squeezed into the front of the crowd. Some children were playing in front of them. Everyone was holding a lantern in their hands and playing. Tao Yuan and Yuer seemed to have returned to their childhood...

They inadvertently went to a row of guessing lantern riddles, where there was a large row of lanterns hanging, with some notes hanging on them, with riddles, words, and everything...

This is an old man who looked at them, "You two, guess a lantern riddle!" Guess there's still a prize?"

Before Tao Yuan could wait to speak, Yuer took a step ahead, "Okay, can you guess whatever you want?"

The old man smiled and said, "Of course, guess whatever you want. As long as you guess, there will be prizes."

"What's the prize?"

The old man twisted his beard, "There are two kinds of prizes, depending on which one you want. The first one is the trinkets here. You can choose whatever you want, and you can choose one for each question you answer correctly. The second one is that you can go to the table and participate in the hydrangea competition with the people who answered the right questions today. If If you get hydrangea, you can also see Zheng Shishi, a famous actor in Shangqiu!"

Yu'er heard, "What does Zheng Shishi do?"

The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Oh, you are a stranger. Zheng Shishi is a famous actor in Shangqiu. If anyone has a chance to hear her singing, it will be really a blessing!"

Only then did Yuer understand what was going on...

Yuer casually tore down a note. It turned out to be a guessing puzzle. The title was: one person has a mouth and a long hand under his mouth, guess a word; Yuer looked at it, turned her eyes and took it to Tao Yuan, "Brother Tao? Guess what word this is?"

Tao Yuan took it over and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Yuer said, "Isn't this just the word 'take'? You see, 'one mouth', under the word 'man' is 'one', and below is the word 'mouth', which is 'he'; 'long hand under the mouth', and finally there is only 'hand' under the word 'he', plus a word 'hand', isn't it just a word 'take'?

Tao Yuan suddenly realized and shook his head. Yuer was very proud and gave the note to the old man and explained the answer. The old man nodded with a smile, "You are very right! Do you want to choose a prize or compete for the qualification of the hydrangea competition? Yuer said, "I'll choose a prize first!"

As she spoke, the old man took a basket with all kinds of accessories in it. She suddenly found an item in it, which was very eye-catching. It turned out to be a heart with intertwined canine teeth, but it was separated. She asked, "Old man, why is this heart separated?"

The old man looked at it and said, "Haha, the prince doesn't know anything about it. This is a very old legend. In fact, it is a complete jewelry, but it is separated. If a lover will eventually get married, half is in the hands of the groom, and the other half is in the hands of the bride. The moral is to combine into one and be eternal!"

Yu'er nodded, peeked at Tao Yuan, and then said to the old man, "Well, old man, I'll take half first!"

She took half of it, and then tore down a note with the title: one, two small, guess a word; she handed the note to Tao Yuan, "Brother Tao, guess what this word is?"

Wang Yanling couldn't guess after thinking about it for a long time. Yuer was happy, "Look, a 'big' word, plus a 'two' word, and a 'small' word at the left back, what is the word together?"

Tao Yuan suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the word 'Nai'!"

Yuer took out the other half of her heart and gave it to Tao Yuan, "Brother Tao, here you are!"

He quickly took it over and took a look. Yuer said, "Although this item is not a previous thing, it is also our common trophy. I hope you can cherish it!"

Tao Yuan looked at it, carefully put it in his arms, and put it away! Yuer also put away her other piece...

Then Yuer guessed two lantern riddles in exchange for two places to participate in the hydrangea competition. Tao Yuan said, "Yuer, I won't go. I don't want to see Zheng Shishi. I don't know her, and I don't have any intention to see her. I'll wait for you on the stage. Just go up to compete for hydrangea. I'm here. Look at you below!"

Yuer agreed as soon as she heard it!

At about nine o'clock in the evening, suddenly there was a sound, and the whole audience calmed down. From *, he walked on a person with a tall figure. When he came to the stage, he waved to the people behind him, and then said loudly, "Guys, friends who came to participate in the lantern show, today's lantern show is extraordinary. Everyone has also seen it. Today, we built a large table, and there is still a wide shelf behind it, which is full of lanterns. At the top is a hydrangea. Let's take a look at it. This hydrangea has a special significance today. After a while, anyone who has the opportunity to come to this table will begin to compete for hydrangea, and the first to compete for embroidery You can have dinner with the most famous singer in Shangqiu City, Zheng Shishi, who is also like a flower, and have the opportunity to listen to her singing alone!"

When people heard this, they all coaxed, "Oh, Zheng Shishi, wait for me, I will definitely win!"

"Poetry, you are mine, and no one else can do it!"

and others shouted, "Shi Shi, we will always like you!"

There are all kinds of shouts, and Tao Yuan and Yuer are not happy...
