    There was no need to walk into the city. While the few people were talking, the carriage had slowly arrived under the city wall.  Old Li stood on the chariot shaft, looking at the red-lacquered city gate and the two bright red characters above the city gate.</p>

    The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, known among the people as the Lantern Festival, also commonly known as the "Festival of Lanterns".  According to custom, the Spring Festival does not end until the Lantern Festival is completed, so the Lantern Festival is also one of the most important festivals in the Moon Country.  </p>

    The Lantern Festival is the beginning of spring, when everything comes to life, and people who have been dormant all winter start to go out for activities, which is more lively than the Spring Festival.  But I won¡¯t go out for fifteen days. According to the customs of the Moon Country, tonight is the time to eat Lantern Festival, and you can only go out for a long trip after eating Lantern Festival.  </p>

    "Zixuan, do we have a place to eat Yuanxiao tonight? I'm a little hungry." Putting aside the thoughts in his heart, Lao Li chuckled and said, "I just know how to eat!" Zixuan said softly: "Can there be anything less?  Yours?"</p>

    The carriage moved forward a few steps, but could no longer move.  It coincides with the Lantern Festival, and every household in Beijing comes out to enjoy the lanterns.  The roads were so crowded that it was difficult for even pedestrians to pass, let alone carriages.  </p>

    Yan'er hugged Zixuan's arm and said coquettishly: "Mom, let's go out and play now!"</p>

    This girl.  Zixuan sighed helplessly, glanced at Lao Li, and asked for his opinion: "What do you think?"</p>

    Lao Li smiled and said: "We are here to play, of course we must satisfy our little Yan'er's wish."</p>

    Yan'er looked at him and smiled sweetly, biting her red lips. If her mother hadn't been by her side, she would have jumped up to hug his neck and kissed him.  Zixuan glared at him, with some anger in her eyes, and then said: "There are many people outside, so the four of us will walk together, don't get separated."  ¡±</p>

    Four people walking together?  What kind of move is this?  I haven't tried it yet.  Old Li laughed, opened the curtain and jumped out of the car, looking around.  </p>

    "Xiaofu, you can do whatever you want tonight"</p>

    "Okay, thank you boss, Xiao Taohong from Baihualou, I'm here. I haven't seen you in thirty years. I wonder if your taste has changed. Hahaha" hurriedly jumped down and rushed to the most prosperous brothel in Beijing.  </p>

    A bright and bright moon rises from the east, and the land of the capital city seems to be covered with a silvery veil.  The city is bustling with traffic, lanterns are everywhere, and people are coming and going like a tidal wave.  Everyone is holding a small lantern in their hands.  There were even young ladies from wealthy families, shouting in front of them and dozens of servants, carrying lanterns of different sizes and swaggering across the border, crowding the streets.  </p>

    On both sides of the avenue, there are flying pavilions on the eaves and colorful lanterns hanging high.  The revolving lanterns, jade rabbit lanterns, gourd lanterns, watermelon lanterns, cat lanterns, doll lanterns, peacock tail lanterns, and Ziya sealing lanterns are all lifelike, just like the blooming flowers, each with its own mood and beauty.  The walking crowds rushed to watch and pointed at the various lanterns. There was laughter and laughter everywhere, and it was extremely lively.  The festive atmosphere is even worse than New Year's Eve.  </p>

    Old Li took a quick glance and couldn't help shaking his head. No matter which dynasty you were in, the capital had the most people. This was simply a golden rule.  </p>

    The couple got out of the car and looked ahead.  Yan'er was young. Seeing this lively scene, her little face flushed with excitement and said, "Dad, is this the Capital Lantern Festival? It's much more lively than our sect's lanterns."</p>

    Although Zixuan has traveled many places, this is the first time she saw such a lively scene tonight. She looked around for a few times and sighed deeply: "Who can sit idle when seeing the moon, but can't hear the lights anywhere?"  It seems that we used to enjoy lanterns every year in Tongfang City. When I was young, my mother took me to see them. At that time, I thought Tongfang City was the most prosperous place in the world.  , seeing this Lantern Festival, I realized that my previous vision was too short-sighted.¡±</p>

    "More people don't mean prosperity. I still miss my hometown a little more." Lao Li smiled slightly and said meaningfully.  </p>

    A surging crowd rushed forward, and the two beauties turned pale with shock in the crowd. Lao Li spread his arms to protect the two of them, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, that's what happens when there are too many people.  Besides, you two are beautiful and loved by everyone. It would be abnormal if you don¡¯t squeeze in. I will squeeze back later to avenge you.¡±</p>

    Yan'er chuckled, "Look." Yan'er exclaimed.  He pointed his slender little finger in the distance, his eyes flashing with excitement.  </p>

    Zixuan and Lao Li took advantage of the situation and looked at it.  I saw a square lantern city erected on a high platform in the distance, majestic and brilliant, shining with the moon.  The majestic and gorgeous climbing gate, the slightly flashing sea of ??lights at the city head, and the majestic atmosphere are dazzling.  There is a nine-lotus lantern elevated in the center of the lantern city, surrounded by a sea of ??lanterns.  Thousands of people were moving.  </p>

    "This is the official lantern, right?" Zixuan said softly.  </p>

    "What?Calling Guandeng?  "Old Li asked curiously. When it comes to these, he is a complete novice.</p>

    Zixuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "It turns out that there are times when you don't know it. I thought nothing in this world would be able to stop you."</p>

    This little girl took the opportunity to retaliate, and Old Li chuckled: "If you can know 70% to 80% of the things of heaven and earth, you would be lucky."</p>

    "Bragging." Zixuan covered her lips and chuckled, with a faint pink color on her face: "The so-called official lanterns are actually lanterns paid for by the government. The annual lantern festival is actually a lantern fight. Rich people have  The rich and powerful people will spend their money to make lamps, and the government is no exception. This is called having fun with the people. The bigger the lamp, the higher the status."</p>

    ¡°So that¡¯s what it is, it¡¯s just a bunch of stupid and rich guys showing off their money.  Lao Li was greatly disdainful.  Now that the barbarian invasion is imminent, the court will not spend its money wisely.  It is really sad that it is wasted in these places.  </p>

    Yan'er couldn't bear it anymore and said softly: "Mom, Daddy, let's go forward and buy some lanterns to look at." After she finished speaking, she grabbed Lao Li and started to move forward. Zixuan had no choice but to  He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said in Lao Li's ear: "Remember, we must stay together and never separate."</p>

    Lao Li felt hot in his heart. This girl was not hinting at something. He smiled, nodded and said, "Remember. We will be together forever, even if we die."</p>

    Murong Zixuan¡¯s face flushed with embarrassment, and she said softly: ¡°I don¡¯t know what you are talking about, I don¡¯t want to pay attention to you, Yan¡¯er, let¡¯s go.¡±</p>

    There are many pedestrians on this street and it is extremely crowded.  The two women were walking in front. How could Lao Li feel relieved? He hurriedly stepped forward and picked up Xiao Yan'er in one hand. Yan'er smiled sweetly at him and took a bite on his face.  </p>

    Seeing that Zixuan was not squinting, Old Li was too lazy to think about it. He stretched out his big hand and touched Murong Zixuan's little hand.  </p>

    Zixuan¡¯s eyes fell on the lantern in front of her, but her face was pink, her little hands were trembling slightly, and they were stained with sweat from nervousness.  Lao Li held her little hand, and she glanced nervously at Yan'er. Seeing that she was not aware of her being in Lao Li's arms, she couldn't help but glare at Lao Li, and struggled slightly with her little hand.  </p>

    Old Li said sternly: "It's done, but don't get lost. It won't be easy to find it back if we are separated."</p>

    I hate you so much, Zixuan gritted her silver teeth secretly, and no longer dared to speak, let alone struggle.  </p>

    I really didn¡¯t mean to make this happen.  Lao Li held Zixuan's little hand, and his heart was trembling slightly.  </p>

    With a few "boom boom" sounds, brilliant fireworks flew into the sky. Amidst the explosions, they turned into colorful and eye-catching patterns. People looked up and heard the cheers.  Looking around, there are colorful lanterns everywhere, colorful and colorful, vying for beauty.  </p>

    "Ladies, do you want to buy a lantern? A good-quality Lantern Festival lantern costs twenty taels of silver each. I guarantee that your wishes will come true and your dreams will come true." Several vendors selling lanterns standing nearby shouted loudly.  The women who had made their wishes earlier had already bought a few lanterns and carried them in their hands, looking at them as if they were more beautiful than the flowers.  </p>

    Twenty taels of silver each?  Why don't you go and rob? You must be a moral person!  Even though Li Fugui was a profiteer, he still despised these vendors.  Unfortunately, Yan'er liked it very much, so Lao Li had no choice but to accompany her and walked up to her and said, "Is this a Pisces lantern?"</p>

    "Exactly, exactly. Miss, this double fish lantern symbolizes mutual affection and love. It is appropriate to buy it as a gift to your parents."</p>

    "Daddy, here, I wish you and your mother happiness together"</p>

    ¡®Haha, okay, my good daughter, my good baby, daddy promises you that you and your mother will love each other.¡±</p>

    Since it was a gift from my daughter, I had no choice but to pay for it without hesitation.  Lao Li stepped forward, pointed to the largest Pisces lantern and said: "This, the largest one, how much money is it?"</p>

    "Fifty taels of silver!" The hawker took advantage of the good business tonight and sat down on the ground to raise the price.  </p>

    Damn it, you tricked me.  Lao Li took out the banknote and said, "Hey, one hundred taels, we'll pay together later. Zixuan, do you like it?"</p>

    The vendor secretly smacked his tongue when he heard this. Zixuan's face turned slightly red. She walked to the lantern stall and carefully picked out the lanterns.  I looked at mandarin duck lanterns, lotus lanterns, and Guanyin lanterns one after another, but I didn¡¯t know which one to choose.  </p>

    Lao Li picked up a lamp and said, "Just choose this one, this one is better."</p>

    Murong Zixuan looked at the lantern in her hand, but it was a lantern with red threads that was a month old and taller than one person.  The kind-hearted Yue Lao tied the red thread around the ankles of a young man and woman, stroking his beard and smiling.  </p>
