"No way, no one thought they would come out suddenly, we can only take action."
Hearing the comments of his subordinates, the leader in black interrupted their discussion and shouted firmly in a low voice: "But the lord said, we must complete the task, otherwise... we don't have to go back."
"..."
While the people in black were whispering and discussing countermeasures, Lu Bing in the crowd was laughing in good faith among the audience, shaking his head helplessly.
The old man also laughed and said, "We don't listen to the story of the Lantern Festival girl. Adults can continue to tell history. We love to listen to this.
At that time, people had few books to read, and it was difficult for ordinary people to have access to such historical knowledge. Today, after listening to Lu Bing's remarks, they all listened with gusto and urged Lu Bing to continue.
Lu Bing had no choice but to continue: "During the Song Dynasty, the custom of viewing lanterns during the Lantern Festival reached its peak. Based on the three-day lighting of the lanterns in the Tang Dynasty, until the first month of the fifth year of the Song Dynasty, the imperial court was fine, and Ou Yu was safe and ordered Kaifeng. The palace has increased on the seventeenth and eighteenth eves, and therefore the custom of five nights. In the Song Dynasty, colorful lanterns were used to form the shape of Aoshan in the gods for people to watch. There were also fireworks, Lantern Festival singing and dancing, and dry boating. Program. In addition, with the lantern watching the lantern, the custom of guessing lantern riddles also appeared.
The real development of glutinous rice balls was called "Floating Yuanzi" in the Lantern Festival in Song Dynasty. At that time, Zhou Bida once wrote a poem "Lantern Cooking Floating Yuanzi":'Tonight is He Xi, and reunion is the same. Tangguan inspects the old taste, and the stove maid is surprised at new skills. In the starry dark clouds, beads float in the turbid water. Compiled a miscellaneous chant during the year, with this family tradition. '
After our Ming Taizu established the capital of Jinling, he vigorously promoted lighting in order to make the capital prosperous and lively. At that time, the Lantern Festival lights up for more than ten days. This is the longest Lantern Festival in history.
In the seventh year of Yongle, Cheng Zu Xia Zhao'shangyuan starts on the eleventh day and gives a holiday for seven days'. The Lantern Festival, which focuses on lighting up, has entered its heyday. The Lantern Festival Lantern Market was formed in Beijing, where the lanterns and the city were combined. During the Lantern Festival, the folks flared the lights in the evening, and they used fireworks, and even advocacy, juggling and string performances. Don't let it down', it's really lively till this time. "At this time, Lu Bing has come to the end: "Actually, there is a long tradition of guessing lantern riddles. It comes from folk oral riddles, and later processed by literati into riddles. Including lantern riddles, thing riddles, children's riddles, cross-frame puzzles, etc. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the capital city Lin'an put lights on every Lantern Festival every year. Some good people attached poem riddles to colorful lanterns for people to guess and shoot. At this time, literal riddles became'lantern riddles'. The first was the rise of officials, eunuchs, and officials, and then it gradually spread to the people. During the Lantern Festival, there are an unusually large number of riddles and guessers, and the content is quite lively and has always been popular. "
After Lu Bing finished speaking, the audience could not help but cheer. The love in Lian Qiu's eyes was about to overflow from Lu Bing's eyes.
It was the first time Xiuying heard this father tell a story, and she was completely impressed with this father.
Lu Bing smiled at the old man, "Lao Zhang, can I pass this level?"
"It's over! Of course it's!" The old man continued to say: "You don't have to guess at the back, I'll give you the hairpin."
Lu Bing disagreed, and said, "Since we have said that we have to guess, we can't give it up halfway."
The old man listened, thought about it, nodded, and said, "Well, if you want to know the next question, continue to guess. However, no matter if you guess it later, the hairpin is yours."
Lu Bing smiled without saying a word, and continued to look at the sixth lantern.
The sixth lantern is a big red lantern. On it is a figure with a big sword, wearing a green robe and long beard. With the face of the big red lantern, he knows that it is Guan Yun Chang Guan Yu.
The mystery of the sixth lantern riddle is: "Eight horses travel thirty thousand per day."
This is easy, Lu Bing answered without hesitation: "Ma Liang."
The people around are cheering again! Xiuying looked at Lu Bing's eyes and admired more and more, this father-it seems that he is no worse than his father!
Lu Bing felt that it was too long here, so he speeded up and immediately took the seventh lantern.
The seventh lantern is an exquisite revolving lantern, and the mystery of the seventh lantern riddle is: "Jin Wuxi falls with a white head to see"
This lantern seemed to have no hint. Lu Bing thought about it. Looking at the ever-changing patterns, he suddenly realized, "The answer to this mystery is a place name—Luoyang."
Seeing the old man smiled and nodded in the audience, knowing that Lu Bing had answered correctly again, there was naturally another cheer.
It was the last one soon, and everyone became nervous. Lu Bing did not hesitate and took the eighth lantern.
The eighth lantern was again a white paper lantern with some flower patterns on it, but based on the previous riddles, Lu Bing did not dare to guess in the flowers.
The mystery of the eighth Lantern Riddle is: "The Shark's Tears"
Lu Bing thought for a while, and from all angles, he felt that the answer was not appropriate. He tried to really think about it from the flowers, but he didn't expect it.
When everyone saw that Lu Bing seemed to be stumped, they couldn't help feeling nervous. Everyone hopes to be able to achieve a good story, hope that the ending is happy.
They all hoped that this knowledgeable and noble person could answer all of them correctly. Even the old man became nervous. He also hoped that Lu Bing could answer it and take the hairpin in a fair manner.
When Lu Bing got stuck, Li Shizhen, who had been standing behind Lian Qiu, and Xue Yan, suddenly pulled Lu Bing's clothes.
Lu Bing turned his head and saw Li Shizhen looking at the pearl that was swayed by the golden step on Xue Yan's head. He couldn't help but think of Li Shizhen's identity and immediately got the answer.
Li Shizhen is a doctor. In addition to flowers, plants can also be medicinal materials, so the eighth answer is self-evident.
Jin Dynasty Ganbao's "Sou Shen Ji" Volume 12: "Outside the South China Sea, there are shark people, living in the water like fish, do not waste weaving achievements, and their eyes can weep, then they can produce beads."
The mackerel, the fish-tailed human body, is the supernatural being of mermaid. The sharks recorded in ancient books, the sharks they produce, are not wet in the water, when they cry—the tears will turn into pearls!
"The answer to the eighth lantern riddle is..." Lu Bing affirmed the answer in his heart, smiling: "Medicinal materials, pearls scattered."
The crowd couldn't wait for the old man to say right or wrong, and they all cheered loudly.
The old man held the small wooden box in his hand to Lu Bing with both hands, and said with a smile: "The old man, this baby, can be considered to have found the right owner."
Lu Bing hesitated for a moment, and said, "Actually, I didn't get the answer completely right. The answer to the last question was what my friend reminded me, and I thought of it."
Seeing Lu Bing pointing at him, Li Shizhen smiled and said, "I didn't remind you of anything. Not everyone can guess by looking at me at the pearl."
