Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The spring was cold, the wind was biting, and the dry and hard frozen soil after the snow was turned into lumps by the ice, making the carriage ride bumpy.  The air is filled with the faint aroma of firecrackers.  The newly thawed river water flows gurglingly, and the sound is clear and loud, which is heart-stirring.  </p>

    Lanterns are hung in front of every house, some are large or small, with different patterns and shapes. The lights are bright or dark, far or near. Looking from a distance, they look like lights hanging on the horizon, lit one by one.  , very beautiful.  </p>

    There were many pedestrians on both sides of the road. The maids held lanterns in their hands and swayed as they walked in the slightly cold spring breeze. The ladies smiled shyly and walked quickly with their heads down, fearing that others would look at their faces.  Young Master Xunchun holds a small fan in his hand and looks at the women coming and going from time to time. He looks very chic.  </p>

    The old saying is true: Fire at thirty, lamp at fifteen.  Half a month has passed since the Spring Festival, and now it¡¯s the Lantern Festival. The atmosphere of spring is in full swing. The lights all over the city are the beginning of a prosperous year.  </p>

    By the moat where the ice had just melted, the river was flowing gurglingly, and countless lanterns were floating on the water, swaying slightly, with different shapes, some like lotuses, or peonies, which were very beautiful.  The reflection of the lamps is reflected in the river, and each lamp's shadow, above and below the water, reflects each other, just like the stars falling into the water, extremely beautiful.  </p>

    This is the Flower God Lantern Festival that is widely spread in the north.  Legend has it that every year at the beginning of the Lantern Festival and the beginning of spring, the ladies who are waiting to be married will write their wishes on paper, then put them in special lanterns, and let them flow down the river.  If it is picked up by a talented and thoughtful person, it is a destined person.  The legendary flower god will bless the young man and young lady who got married because of the lantern to have a happy marriage for a hundred years and stay together.  </p>

    This legend has been passed down for thousands of years.  A few famous couples did come together, and for a while, the Flower God Lantern Festival and the Lantern Festival became unique scenery during the Lantern Festival in the north.  </p>

    This year¡¯s Lantern Festival comes early, and the ice on the river has just melted.  It was extremely cold, but the young men waiting to catch the lanterns by the river were densely packed and there was an endless stream, crowding the water along both sides of the river.  </p>

    A little boy of eleven or twelve years old, dressed in silk stockings, held a long bamboo pole in his hand, with a small iron hook hanging on the bamboo pole. He raised the lanterns one by one, attracting talented people from both sides of the bank.  They burst into admiration and envy.  Most of these young men came empty-handed, even those with tools in their hands.  He was not so well prepared. Seeing that this young man was only eleven or twelve years old, he kept picking up the lanterns that Miss Shangyou had put down.  In addition to admiration, I also admire: Whose young master is this? He is so far-sighted and far-sighted, which is incredible!  </p>

    A large carriage slowly woke up from the distance, rising and falling on the bumpy road.  </p>

    The two horses pulling the cart had their mouths in bits constantly exhaling hot breath.  Although he is dusty and dusty, his figure is magnificent and his martial prowess is extraordinary.  It's just that the driver's handlebar looks too obscene, which seriously affects the temperament of the car. The carriage behind is very large.  There was some dust outside, and you could tell at a glance that it was coming from afar.  </p>

    The carriage jolted, and a woman's voice came from inside: "Hey, what are you doing? You're pressing me down."</p>

    Another man's voice rang out: "Oh, I'm sorry, the carriage was too bumpy. I didn't mean to do it. Hey, what is this soft thing?"</p>

    "You, get off here!" The woman in the carriage shouted.  </p>

    The car curtain opened quickly, and a smiling man with healthy skin was pushed out of the car by a pair of small hands.  </p>

    He shook the black shirt on his body and said with a smile: "The progress is not bad, and you have finally accepted me slowly. As long as you work hard, you are sure to be a beautiful woman."</p>

    The carriage traveled not far and suddenly stopped.  The man following the carriage yawned and looked at the dense crowds on both sides of the river from the handlebars, and was suddenly startled.  Holy shit, what is this for?  In the dark, let's go fishing together?  </p>

    The curtain on the carriage window was opened, and a beautiful little face stretched out with a sweet smile. She carefully looked at the crowd in front of her and said curiously: "Dad, mother, the people in the capital are all here."  Why are people so strange? It's cold and dark, what are they doing around the river? Hey, there are so many lanterns on the river, it's so beautiful."</p>

    Another woman also stuck her head out of the window, her cheeks were pink, her mouth was slightly red, her eyes were moving, and she was looking forward to it.  She looked at everyone and then said: "Oh, is it the Lantern Festival today? We have been practicing for so many years, and we have forgotten even this good time. This is probably the legendary Flower God and Lantern Festival.  Legend has it that as long as an unmarried woman puts down a lantern on the upper reaches of the river and writes her wish, if it is picked up by a loving young man below, it will be a match made by the flower god, and they will surely grow old together, and the flowers will bloom in the future.  Our little Yan'er can also"How to pick a man?"</p>

    "Okay, okay, I will also choose a husband in the future. Dad, what is a husband? Is it delicious?"</p>

    "Haha, little baby Yan'er," Zixuan rolled her eyes at Lao Li, "Langjun is not a thing, let alone a good thing. You can't eat it."</p>

    Someone walking by the car touched his nose in embarrassment. After hearing these words, he suddenly realized that these people were here to get the lamp. No wonder they were all so wretched and their eyes were shining.  However, this activity has some benefits for exercising these industrious young ladies.  </p>

    He glanced around and saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy who moved quickly. In a short while, he had picked up four or five lanterns. He took a look at the letter in the lantern and then threw the lantern away with a hum.  aside.  More and more lanterns were being ruined, which were the hearts of beautiful and passionate ladies. The young men watching beside them were so anxious that they swallowed their saliva.  </p>

    "Hey, is there any justice for someone who comes to fish for lanterns at such a young age? At such a young age, those things haven't even grown hair yet, yet they want to engage in such romantic activities. It's really unconscionable." He spat hard.  I immediately looked at the handlebar style. </p>

    "Little Rich"</p>

    Handlebar understood, and immediately walked forward with a smile on his face, and said with a kind smile on his face: "Hello, little brother. Wow, it's amazing. You can pick lanterns to play with at such a young age. Can I play with you?  Huh?"</p>

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The young masters around saw a wretched servant coming up to him, and they immediately felt contempt. Whose servant is so ignorant of etiquette, and doesn't have any sense of etiquette, justice and integrity, and even deceives other people's children.  </p>

    Li Fugui shyly approached the child and said: "How about it, little brother, do you agree? Hey, you don't say anything. I'll take it as your promise. Hey, this is one tael of silver, as long as you pick up ten lanterns  , this one tael of silver is yours.¡±</p>

    The child snorted and said nothing.  </p>

    It has personality, I like it.  He chuckled, took out a piece of white silver from his crotch, dazzled it in front of the child's eyes, and said with a squinted smile: "Did you see it? This is a piece of white silver. Ten lanterns are just one piece of silver."  Two silver dollars, what a bargain.¡±</p>

    The child looked at him with disdain and took out an ingot of gold from his arms, which was four or five taels. He raised his little finger and said to him: "Hey, this is five taels of silver. As long as you pick up a lantern, it will be worth it."  This money is my reward to you." The crowd of people watching burst out laughing.  </p>

    "Okay" Li Fugui picked up the bamboo pole and immediately hooked up one, "Hahaha, I caught one. Give me money, give me money"</p>

    "Shameless, even cheating children out of their money" Li Fugui's behavior immediately attracted the contempt of everyone around him.  However, he is very thick-skinned and does not mind the ridicule of others.  </p>

    "The child looked at him with disdain, threw the ingot directly and pointed at Li Fugui's nose and said, your shamelessness is far beyond the limit of what I can bear, you are really a senior."</p>

    Not only was Li Fugui not angry, he took the money, kissed it hard, put it in his crotch, gave a thumbs up and said: "Little brother, you really have a personality, and that shameless look is quite like my old man, I like it.  Why don't we make friends? My name is Li Fugui. What's your name?"</p>

    "Shameless" came another burst of contempt.  </p>

    "Li Fugui?" The child frowned and shook his head: "This name is ugly enough and vulgar. If you give this name, your character is not much better."</p>

    This little guy looked like a grown-up and talked for a long time, but didn¡¯t say his name.  Li Fugui smiled nonchalantly and said, "Yes, my name was given by someone else. It's messy and filthy. I wonder what kind of elegant name you have, little brother?"</p>

    The child looked at him warily and said, "Why are you asking me my name? Humph, eight out of ten people who get close to me are plotting to do something evil. Look at your sly eyebrows and wretched look. You can tell at a glance that you are not a good person.  Are you trying to abduct me? Master, I'm not a vegetarian! I was able to kill a cat at the age of three, tear up a leopard at the age of five, and just killed a tiger with my bare hands. Are you trying to abduct me?  Man!" He stretched out his hand and shook his fist, as if I was a muscular man.  </p>
