After a while, Lily came back with a blushing face, and said excitedly: "Master Shizi, Concubine Shizi, eldest girl, there is a competition to eat Lantern Festival blindfolded, no, it should be said to be blindfolded to guess 'stuffing'! Who is it? Guess the fillings for ten Lantern Festivals, and you can win the 'King of Lamps'!"
The more Lily said, the more excited she became, her eyes lit up: "The slave has seen it, the lamp king is really worthy of being the lamp king, it's so delicate, beautiful and amazing..." Lily, who lacks vocabulary, can't go on. , can only be summed up in one sentence, "In short, if you don't take a look, you will regret it!"
Baihui looked at Lily from the side, she was very emotional, her little cousin was still childish, and she 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 lowered her eyes to hide the strange look in her eyes.
Nangong Yue, Xiao Yi, and Xiao Fei were all intrigued by what Lily said, and they were about to go forward to take a look when a familiar voice suddenly came from behind:
"Ayue!"
"Big brother!"
The three of Nangong Yue followed the sound. Not far away, a group of slightly familiar faces were walking towards this side. Besides Fu Yunhe, Fu Yunyan, and Wen Yu, even Yongyang went out in plainclothes. In addition, there were several Fu Yunhe. The son, the girl, and even the two married aunts of the Fu family.
Since everyone was traveling in plain clothes, it was inconvenient to bow, so Nangong Yue and the others were not too cautious, and went up to greet Yong Yang and the other Fu family members.
"Ayue, it's such a coincidence that you and Afei are also here to enjoy the lanterns!" Fu Yunyan trotted to Nangongyue with a smile, and pointed to the arena curiously, "Why are there so many people over there, do you know what they are playing? "
Nangong Yue gave Lily a look, and Lily immediately explained it in a eloquent manner, and the flamboyant look made several girls show a bit of interest.
Nine-year-old Fu Qi girl Fu Yunying asked curiously, "Is that revolving lantern really that beautiful?"
"Good-looking, really good-looking!" Lily nodded vigorously.
Wen Yu looked at Yong Yang with a smile and said, "Grandma, why don't we join in the fun? Let's see if my grandson can win back the 'Lamp King'?"
Naturally, he came out to watch the lantern festival to watch the fun and join in the fun. Since his grandson was interested, how could Yong Yang spoil the fun? He immediately agreed.
So, Baihui, Lily, and a few accompanying wives tried to open the way in front of them, and skillfully pushed aside the crowd, and finally made the crowd crowded in front of the crowd.
On the high arena, five blindfolded people are sitting on it, tasting the dumplings, and reporting the ingredients of the filling one by one: "lard, sesame, sweet-scented osmanthus, honey..."
As long as one wrong ingredient is mentioned, the mustache boss wearing a brocade robe will smile and invite him off the ring.
Although there were a lot of people watching, there were actually not that many people lining up at the arena. According to an old lady on the side, it took ten copper plates to go on stage at a time, and ten copper plates were enough to eat several bowls of Lantern Festival, so ordinary people would just take it easy. Try it once, and then just sit there and watch.
Although this Lantern Festival is small, the fillings in it can be made from a mixture of several ingredients. How can it be so easy to guess. Most people are well aware of this, but there are still some people who are willing to try several times and 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. I can see that the lamp base of the lantern is decorated with golden cloud patterns, and the bottom is equipped with golden fringes and tassels of various colors. Both festive and dazzling. The outer lampshade is a thin layer of white gauze, with a translucent hazy feeling. A white lamp bulb is placed on the wind disc inside the gauze lamp, and the lamp bulb rotates slowly in the light of the red candlelight. , on the white gauze lamp screen projected green mountains and green water, several generals galloped on horses, you chased me, exuding a kind of arrogance between heaven and earth, and occasionally a small butterfly was seen in the green The water flapped its cicada-like wings and flew over, adding a little more tenderness and delicacy.
Wen Yu, who was beside him, sighed: "An ancient poem says: 'Biao Lun rides and rides the flame essence, flying around the city that never sleeps, the wind chasing the stars and the shadows, the frost hoofs chasing the electricity and disappearing silently. Qin Jun defeated Xianyang fire at night, Wu Juxiao galloped Red Cliff Soldiers; I remember the young days of Diao Saddle, Zhang Tai stepped on the broken moon Huaming'. It is the revolving lantern!"
"This lamp deserves to be the lamp king!" Yong Yang also praised.
Although the aunt couldn't hear Wen Yu's rhythmic verses, she knew that she must be praising the "Lamp King", she straightened out her plump breasts and said proudly: "That's it! The former boss's father was in his early years. But the most famous lantern king in the entire Wangdu, the craftsmanship of making lanterns is top-notch, and there is no better master than him. It's just that the original boss made a lot of money in business, and the original master didn't come out to do it for others. There are lanterns, and as soon as this 'Lamp King' is hung up, someone will pay 1,000 taels of silver, but the original owner was astonished that he would not sell it, and he even said that the lantern would not be sold, just as a prize for the lantern festival to let everyone Have fun."
Nangong Yue looked at each other, the former boss was a little interesting.
The aunt lowered her voice, pointed to a young man in fancy clothes and a middle-aged businessman on the ring, and said, "This young man and that uncle are all eyeing the 'Lamp King', both of them have already participated. It's been a few rounds!"
Fu Yunyan was speechless and said, "They are not afraid of accumulating food!"
Lantern Festival is mainly made of glutinous rice. If you eat too much, you will accumulate food!
At this time, another round of the arena was over. Except for the young master and the businessman, several others came down in despair. Some simply left, while others remained there to watch.
"Cousin, I'm going to play with you too." Fu Yunyan said eagerly, "but my mother often said that I drink water with hair, and the best thing in my mouth is the difference between good and bad." She There was a bit of self-deprecation and a bit of open-mindedness in his tone.
"Go, let's go. Anyone who wants to go, go and play. It's better to join in the fun." Yong Yang suggested with a smile.
Although Yong Yang said that, except for Fu Yunyan, the other girls still did not come to the stage. After all, they had to blindfold their eyes and eat glutinous rice balls on stage. If they were not careful, they would lose their respect in public.
Fu Yunhe casually threw a silver ingot to the younger brother who was collecting the money, and everyone rushed to the stage.
After being blindfolded, the first round of Lantern Festival was sent to the public, and the former boss reminded "kindly": "This is composed of four ingredients."
"Bean paste, sweet-scented osmanthus, sugar..."
"Bean paste, sweet-scented osmanthus, honey..."
A "white sugar" successfully knocked Xiao Yi off the stage first, Xiao Fei silently glanced at Xiao Yi who walked back to Nangong Yue happily, her eyes full of contempt. She felt that Fu Yunyan's phrase "Ru Mao drinking water" should be given to the eldest brother! Honey can taste like sugar! The food that went into his mouth was really wasted...
Thanks to my sister-in-law, she always cooks hard for him to cook delicious food for him!
Two more rounds passed quickly on the stage. The second round of fruit dumplings brushed off Fu Yunhe and the two young sons, and the third round of pork dumplings stumped Fu Yunyan again.
Fu Yunyan walked down the stage in frustration and said, "Ayue, it's a pity that Cousin Yi is not here. If she were there, she might have won!" Oh, it's rare that my grandmother likes this lamp. She originally wanted to win the lamp king and give it to her grandmother! Pity……
Nangong Yue smiled and shook her head, she could only comfort one sentence: "Liu Niang, and your cousin Yu."
Fu Yunyan raised her eyes and looked at Wen Yu who was still blindfolded in the ring, she really had no confidence in her cousin...
The game on the arena is still going on... After each round, there will be fewer people on the stage, and by the time of the last round, only Wen Yu is left on the stage.
Fu Yunyan went from being surprised in the middle to looking forward to it now, her eyes sparkling, she held Nangong Yue's hand and said, "Ayue, it seems that this lamp king should belong to our family."
During the conversation, the surroundings became more and more noisy and lively. Many people heard that the "King of Lamps" was about to be won, and they all flocked to watch the excitement, discussing:
"That son's tongue is really powerful!"
"Yeah, yeah, it actually lasted until the last round."
"I originally thought that the original boss was trying to embarrass people, but I didn't expect someone to win."
"..."
Talking time, the last round is over!
The original boss announced loudly in the ring: "Thank you for your participation today, this lamp king will be given to this young master!"
Amid the applause and cheers, Wen Yu carried the revolving lantern off the ring, walked up to Yong Yang, presented the revolving lantern with a smile, and said, "Grandmother, grandson wants to give this 'Lamp King' to you. , do you like it?"
The grandson's filial piety, how could Yong Yang not like it, he smiled and said, "Brother Yu, of course my grandmother likes it."
Fu Sanniang who was beside Yong Yang deliberately joked, "Cousin Yu, I know you honor your grandmother, but don't forget us cousins!"
Wen Yu smiled slightly and replied calmly: "How dare you forget my cousin..." He pointed to the front right, only to see the former boss walking towards this side, followed by several little twos behind him. Each of them had a few lanterns in their hands.
"Brother Wen and I hit it off right away," the former boss said with a smile. "Brother Wen, don't be polite to me. Just give these lanterns to Brother Wen."
"Many thanks to the original boss." Wen Yu clasped his fists and thanked the other party, and then distributed the lanterns one by one to several Fu family girls, and finally added two more.
"Prince Prince, Miss Xiao," Wen Yu looked at Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei with a smile, "there are still two lanterns here, please accept it with a smile!"
There were only two lanterns on the left and right, and they were given in front of the elders, which was in line with the rules, but Nangong Yue and Xiao Fei were disrespectful.
Wen Yu gave one of the plum lanterns to Xiao Fei, and one of the jade rabbit lanterns to Nangong Yue.
"Many thanks, Young Master Wen." Xiao Fei thanked her and raised the rose-red plum blossom lamp in her hand. The candlelight reflected on her little face through the lamp gauze, making her skin seem to have a rouge-like 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 really matches your clothes." Taoyao whispered beside Xiao Fei.
This sentence caught Nangong Yue's attention, she looked around thoughtfully, and after careful observation, she noticed that the plum flower lantern in Xiao Fei's hand was the only one among them. The jade rabbit lamp in his hand, as well as the mushroom lamp in Fu Yunyan's hand, have two or three repetitions. Could it be that he is too concerned?
"Ayue, Ayi, where are you going next?" Fu Yunyan came over with the round mushroom lamp and suggested, "Why don't we go together?"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Wen Yu say from the side: "Xiao Shizi, Shizi Concubine, I heard that there will be many believers in Santai Temple tonight to put Confucian lanterns there, and the scene must be very spectacular."
Xiao Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she blurted out, "Isn't that 'Hundred-square kongming lanterns fly up, showing a long life like a sage'? Sister-in-law..." Xiao Fei looked at Nangongyue expectantly, her jet-black eyes seemed to be hidden The moon in the clouds.
Nangong Yue was only guessing at first, but now she is almost 80 to 90 percent sure that Wen Yu was trying to please Xiao Fei. She couldn't help recalling the scenes at the stove heating meeting a few days ago, and it seemed that there was this omen.
Knowing lust, Mu Shaoai is human, but Nangong Yue always felt that Wen Yu's attitude was a little too deliberate...
Is she suspicious?
"Okay." Fu Yunyan said happily, "Let's go set up the Kongming lantern!" After saying that, she looked forward to looking at Nangong Yue and the others.
They have a close relationship with Yongyang Mansion, and unreasonable rejection is always inappropriate. Nangongyue smiled and said to Xiao Fei: "Then sister Fei, let's go to Santai Temple to see."
So, the group continued to move forward and went to Santai Temple.
At this time, there are more and more people on the road. Every few steps, you can see all kinds of stalls and restaurants doing various activities. There are even dragon and lion dance teams passing by from time to time. The atmosphere is very lively. .
Suddenly, Xiao Yi's footsteps stopped, and he looked forward to the right. He seemed to see a somewhat familiar back, but before he could see it clearly, the back merged into the crowd and disappeared.
"Ai?"
"It's okay." Xiao Yi smiled and held Nangong Yue's hand, "Let's go."
The hustle and bustle of the crowd interfered a lot with their walking speed, and they just walked for more than half an hour, as far as a stick of incense can walk.
By the time they arrived at the Santai Temple, it was almost Hai Shi.
Fu Yunyan excitedly dragged Nangong Yue to the temple, urging: "Everyone, hurry up, the Kongming lantern will be set in Hai Shi!"
As if confirming her words, one, two, three... Hundreds of Kongming lanterns are rising in the night wind like white doves, and the candles are flickering in the Kongming lanterns.
I saw that the courtyard behind the main hall was already crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder. People either leaned over and lit their kongming lanterns, or looked up at the countless kongming lanterns floating high and low in the sky, almost more than the stars in the night sky. To shine, they drift away, slowly blending into the constellations of the night sky, and eventually disappearing.
This scene is so beautiful!
The girls looked up one by one and couldn't take their eyes off...
I don't know how long it took, the Kongming lanterns in the night sky became sparse, and the crowds around began to disperse.
Xiao Fei withdrew her gaze a little unfinished, and Nangong Yue smiled and comforted her: "Sister Fei, next time, let's put the Kongming lantern too!"
"Next time" represents good expectations... Xiao Fei couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, someone in the crowd screamed hysterically: "Ah! The water is gone!"
A sentence is like a stone falling into the lake, quickly causing ripples in circles, like spreading around...
"Look, let's go!"
"Everyone, run!"
"The water is gone! The water is gone!"
"..."
Nangong Yue looked at the sound, and saw thick smoke coming from the direction of the main hall. Among them, you could faintly see the red flames rising all the way up and spreading around. After a while, he saw the thick smoke billowing into the night sky. .
Others naturally saw it, Fu Yunyan was still calm, and most of the other Fu family girls were pretty pale and at a loss.
Nangong Yue's heart sank, Xiao Yi hurriedly grabbed her wrist, while Lily hurriedly blew out the lantern in her hand, and shouted loudly, "Everyone blow out the lantern first!" No one cares when he is running for his life. There are lanterns, but if the burning lanterns are thrown away, it is very likely that a new ignition point will occur, and even cause the fire to spread faster.
Yong Yang glanced at Lily with admiration, and hurriedly urged: "Everyone, be careful, try not to get separated..."
But in the blink of an eye, her voice was drowned in the frenzied crowd...
The panicked crowd surged around frantically like headless flies, and everyone was blindly trying to escape from here... In this extreme panic, the power of the crowd was like the rolling mudslide, booming. The bang pushed Nangong Yue and others to run out along the flow of people.
When she was able to slow down a little, Nangong Yue nervously discovered that Xiao Fei had disappeared.
"Concubine Shizi, the servant girl is looking for it!" 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 was terrified, wondering if Lily could find Xiao Fei.
Xiao Yi carefully embraced Nangong Yue's shoulders, protected most of her body in his arms, and followed the direction of the flow of people all the way to the gate.
The surroundings were extremely chaotic, and you could see lanterns thrown aside everywhere. The candles in the lanterns lit the yellow grass and burst into flames. Before you knew it, the Santai Temple was already filled with turbid smoke. Can't tell the direction...
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue rushed out of the temple gate in a hurry. When he got outside, he saw that Yong Yang and Fu Yunyan were already outside. Fu Yunyan hurriedly greeted him and sighed happily, "Ayue, Ayi, You're all right... Where's Fei?"
"Sister Fei and us were separated." Nangong Yue looked at 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 are moving. Huo Miao, raging fire, claws 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, only to see that Fu Sanniang's hair was slightly messy, and the makeup on her face was half spent, and there was a familiar figure behind them.
"Taoyao!" Nangong Yue stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Where's your girl?" Why wasn't Xiao Fei with Taoyao?
Taoyao's face was already black and red, and she was extremely embarrassed. She said with a sad face, "Shi... the concubine, the slave and the eldest girl were crowded out..."
In other words, while Xiao Fei was still in this sea of fire, Nangong Yue's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and her slender body trembled slightly.
Sister Fei, will she be alright?
Nangong Yue felt a throbbing pain in her heart, she couldn't help thinking: If there is an emergency with Sister Fei, it's all her fault! If she hadn't insisted on keeping Sister Fei in the capital, and Sister Fei had already returned to the southern border, she would not have suffered the disaster today...
She was still thinking about it, when Xiao Yi next to her suddenly said in a deep voice, "Ayue, you are waiting for me here..."
"Ai..."
Nangong Yue intuitively raised her eyes to look at Xiao Yi, but saw 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 who was beside her: "Ayue!"
Nangong Yue calmed down, yes, she followed at this time, didn't she cause trouble for Yi!
All she can do now is wait, and—
She looked at the monks who were carrying buckets of water in and out, and the countless men and women who ran from nearby with buckets to put out the fire.
Nangong Yue calmed down and instructed Baihui, "Baihui, grandmother Yong Yang and I will be fine. You and the guards should help put out the fire quickly. ... Be careful yourself."
"Yes, Concubine Shizi." Baihui immediately took the order and left.
Everyone looked worriedly at the direction of Santai Temple, but at this moment, 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 on the side.
But there were too many people at that time, I don't know who knocked over the candle in front of the Buddha, and the side hall quickly caught fire. The fire at that time could actually be put out, but the extreme panic made the crowd lose their minds, so that they Let the fire spread and spread, and only care about escaping, and then the entire side hall is almost caught in a sea of fire...
Xiao Fei watched helplessly as a few 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 for a few times, it also burned them into a mess.
When she hesitated, she lost the opportunity. A section of burning beams 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 this side hall.
The two of them immediately wanted to go back the same way, but they didn't want to be on the road they had come from. The road was already surrounded by fire, and the heat was blowing in their faces, making it almost impossible for the two of them to move.
"Girl, what should we do? Now we are dead!" The middle-aged woman said in fear, her lips trembling.
It was a cold winter, but they were sweating profusely as if they were in a huge furnace.
How to do? Xiao Fei took a deep breath, tried to calm down, and said, "I remember reading in a miscellaneous book that it's best to wet the sheet over your body when it's on fire, and then rush out..."
"But where are the sheets here..." Said, the middle-aged woman looked at Xiao Fei and the cloak on her body, with a look of happiness on her face, but fortunately she was wearing a cloak because of the cold weather.
Xiao Fei looked around again, her eyes fell on the vase on the offering table, and hurriedly trotted over, but she heard an exclamation from the middle-aged woman behind: "Girl, be careful!"
Xiao Fei was stunned, and heard a "click" from above his head, followed by another sound, followed by sporadic sparks that fell one after another.
No matter how slow Xiao Fei was, he felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly raised his head and widened his eyes in disbelief.
On the roof of the side hall, a section of flaming beams fell down with a "bang", getting faster and faster, and the surging heat rushed towards her, so hot that it almost set her on fire.
Xiao Fei knew that she should hide, but at this time her body was completely unresponsive, she couldn't move at all, she could only watch the beam like a flaming sword getting closer and closer to her... …
I didn't expect that I would die like this, but I still have a lot of books that I haven't read? I knew her earlier...
One thought after another flashed through Xiao Fei's mind in an instant. At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of her, followed by a familiar voice: "Why are you standing there stupidly?"
In the crimson fire, a silver sword light was very striking, and it slashed neatly on the beam, splitting it in two, and then only heard two loud bangs, and the two beams fell heavily. On the ground, countless sparks scattered.
"Big brother..."
Xiao Fei looked at the other party's unbelievably beautiful face in the firelight in disbelief. To her, this handsome face with disgust and impatience was so familiar, but at the same time so unfamiliar!
If Big Brother came 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 disdainful eyes seemed to feel kinder.
