My Sisters Excel in Both Literary and Martial Arts - Chapter 905

[Chapter 879 Chapter 890 Lantern Festival (Second update please subscribe)]

After dinner, it’s already afternoon.

Jing Zhe was not in a hurry and called Chen Jiannan and others into the room to talk about his plans for the evening.

After Chen Jiannan finished listening, he felt a little pitiful for Prince Yu and others. It’s not good for you to offend anyone. You have to offend a king who is good at pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger…

But if Jing Zhe reveals his identity from the beginning, even if it is Yu Prince Wang did not dare to offend him easily, but Jing Zhe deliberately concealed his identity, as if he was luring a snake out of its hole.

They can only ask for blessings – no, if Jing Zhe is targeting them, there is no point in begging, they can just wait and cry.

And Chen Jiannan was still a little secretly happy, especially because he wanted to see what the expressions of shopkeeper Hu and the bald waiter would be like when they saw their Juxian Tower being taken away!

As we talked, the time came to evening before we knew it.

When a group of people came down from upstairs, they saw that the hall of Juxian Tower was very different from last night. The most conspicuous thing was that the hall was full of lanterns, and many servants were still putting notes in the lanterns.

Obviously, these lanterns are used for guessing lantern riddles.

However, there are also few people in the hall, because there is still more than an hour before the Lantern Festival Poetry Festival, and people in the city have already arrived at the moat outside Ruzhou City, waiting for the Lantern Festival to start.

Jing Zhe and others did not stop, they came out of Juxian Tower and went straight to the moat outside the city.

…

Speaking of which, let’s talk about the Lantern Festival in Ruzhou—to be precise, it should be the Lantern Festival that is widely spread throughout Anguo.

Legend has it that every year at the beginning of spring during the Lantern Festival, the ladies who are waiting to be married will write their wishes, or some bold girls, their names on paper, and then put them in special lanterns to let them shine. Go down the river and go with the flow.

And on this night, single talented people will gather by the moat, choose a lantern to turn on, and read the note inside. If they are destined, the two of them will definitely have a good situation.

Legend has it that on this night, Yue Lao will look at the men and women by the river from the sky, and bless the young master and young lady who got married because of the lanterns to have a happy marriage for a hundred years.

This legend has been passed down for thousands of years, and it has indeed led to several famous couples. Suddenly, the Lantern Festival has become a unique scenery during the Anguo Lantern Festival. At this time of year, the lanterns in the river and the young ladies by the river They all come in an endless stream.

When we reached the gate of the city, it was already dark. A bright moon rose from the east, and the city of Ruzhou seemed to be covered with a silvery veil.

The city is bustling with traffic, there are lights everywhere, and people are coming and going like a tidal wave.

Everyone was holding a small lantern in their hands, which illuminated the winter night extremely brightly, like little moving suns, adding a lot of charm to the night.

Jing Zhe and the others were walking when they heard someone from behind shouting to get out of the way, and then saw someone carrying a trembling sedan to greet them.

Jing Zhe pulled Zhang Xiaoyu and stood aside quickly to avoid being hit by the sedan. He was still complaining in his heart, what kind of cerebral palsy is this? In such a crowded environment, he chose to sit in a sedan. He must be sick!

At this time, the sedan chair passed by them, and a slightly rough voice came from the sedan chair.

“After waiting for a year, it’s finally the Lantern Festival! I’m going to put out a few more lanterns today!”

“…”

Hearing this voice, Jing Zhe was stunned, while Zhang Xiaoyu covered her mouth and laughed, “This Girl…it’s so interesting!”

Although the tradition of the Lantern Festival is to put out lanterns, there is also a rule that an unmarried woman can only put down a lantern upstream of the moat and write her wish. If it is picked up by a lover downstream, this will It is the God of Flowers who acts as a matchmaker, and they are a match made in heaven. They will surely grow old together, and the flowers will bloom and bring wealth.

And the woman in the sedan actually wanted to put a few more lanterns. If several people picked it up at the same time… wouldn’t this be too tough?

So, Jing Zhe pulled Zhang Xiaoyu and followed him, very curious about this woman’s appearance and what would happen next.

As we walked further, there were more and more people on the street, and there were lights everywhere, which were extremely eye-catching.

When Jing Zhe and Zhang Xiaoyu came to the moat, they heard a few “booms”, and then fireworks flew into the sky. Amidst the explosions, they transformed into colorful patterns. People looked up and cheered. Everlasting.

Looking around, there are colorful lanterns everywhere, colorful and colorful, vying for beauty.

This sound also heralds the official start of this year’s Ruzhou Lantern Festival.

Jing Zhe came to the moat and originally wanted to search for the strong woman just now. Before he could find it, he was attracted by an old man with a wretched appearance by the river.

Because each girl can only place one lantern, single men can only take out one lantern. Therefore, some talented people have spotted the girls they like and stay by their side. As soon as they put down the lantern, they will go up and get it. .

This also resulted in some famous talented ladies and beauties being surrounded by a large group of talented people. As soon as she was put down, these people rushed up to her.

And that wretched old man is a bit powerful.

I saw that the old man moved quickly and did not look aged at all. In a short while, he had picked up four or five lanterns, took a look at the paper in the lamp, and then threw the lantern away with a cold snort. On the ground, let people trample on you.

With his swift movements, more and more lanterns were wasted. This was the wish of all the beautiful and passionate ladies. Others were probably hoping that the lanterns would be picked up by the destined person, but unexpectedly, they were picked up by the destined person. What a disaster to such an old man!

This is indeed too irritating. Not every lady prepares multiple lanterns like the tough woman just now. One was taken away and there were many more… When thinking of this, Jing Zhe inexplicably felt that these two people were really amazing. match!

“This old man…is a bit interesting…”

Jing Zhe touched his chin and smiled, looking like he was watching the fun.

“This old man looks like an old bachelor.”

“I’m sure, not a bachelor who dares to pick up lanterns like this?”

“Haha, even a bachelor can’t pick up lanterns like this!”

“But, why is he picking up so many lanterns? Can any girl fall in love with him?”

“At such an old age, I am afraid that my will is too weak, right?”

“…”

The people watching next to you teased each other, causing a burst of laughter at the end.

Some girls were extremely angry when they saw the lanterns they had carefully prepared taken away by the old man, but as women, it was difficult for them to argue.

Some young talented people couldn’t stand it and stepped forward to question them, but the old man was obviously a tough guy. Instead of paying attention to them, he picked up a bamboo pole filled with water and threw it at them.

The talented people will participate in the Shangyuan Poetry Festival later, but they are all afraid that their new clothes will get wet by him, so they will all be defeated.
