Tang Ning himself did not expect that he would sleep until the next day
The thirteenth and fourteenth days of the first lunar month, plus the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, is the most lively day of the year in the capital. There is no curfew in the city these three days, so people can enjoy the rich nightlife.
They arrived in the capital two days ago and planned to have a good night's stroll, but they didn't expect to sleep in Shangyuan. I missed tonight and wait for next year.
The sky just got dark, and the whole capital was gradually lit up again, and the lights were as bright as day.
In the capital, the lunar calendar is naturally not comparable to those modern metropolises in later generations. However, the swaying lanterns of candlelight hanging on the streets, lotus lanterns floating in the river, and the pleasure boats floating by are more charming than the colorful neon lights of later generations, and the traffic flow that blocks the streets whenever the festival occurs.
Xiao Jue followed the old beggar, serving carefully like a servant, without any airs of a young master.
He couldn't do anything after taking chun medicine, but he only responded to that prescription. The old beggar has become a life-saving straw for him to realize his life's blessings.
Tang Ning and Li Tianlan walked in front and walked to a bridge. Li Tianlan stopped and looked into the distance.
Tang Ning turned his head and looked at her, noticed a melancholy expression on her face, thought for a while and asked: I am alone in a foreign land for a stranger, and on the Chinese New Year holiday, stay away from my hometown and my relatives, right?
Li Tianlan looked down at the lotus lamp floating below, looked at him again, and asked: Aren't you the same?
Tang Ning was stunned for a long time, and his eyes looked at the same night as her, murmured: Just get used to it...
Li Tianlan looked at him and comforted him: The mission will stay in the capital for a long time. You are better than me. After the imperial examination is over, you can return to Lingzhou.
Tang Ning sighed and whispered: I can't go back anymore...
Li Tianlan turned to look at him, and fireworks bloomed in the distant night sky, clearly reflecting his side face.
The same melancholy, the same thoughts, the difference is that deep hidden despair
It seems that what he is thinking is a place that he will never go back to
He just left Lingzhou and came to the capital to take the exam. This trace of despair should never appear on his face. Li Tianlan stared at him in a daze, his heart full of doubts.
Thinking of another world, Tang Ning lost his mind for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he found that Li Tianlan was looking at him.
Tang Ning said in surprise: What do Miss Li look at me for?
It's nothing. Li Tianlan returned to his senses, immediately looked away, and said: I'm familiar with each other, so I'd better not want Miss Li and Miss Li shouted...
Tang Ning also felt that this was a bit strange. After all, everyone is so familiar with him, let alone Li Tianlan is his life savior. What else can he have with his life savior?
He thought for a while and said: If you don’t call me Miss Li, why don’t you call me Sister Lan? If you are younger than me, then call me Sister Lan... What do you think of Lan Lan?
Li Tianlan pondered for a moment, looked at him and said: You should call me Miss Li
Women are really fickle. They are the ones who say they don’t call Miss Li, and they are the ones who say they call Miss Li. They want to do so for a while. They take all the principles of the world.
After a while, Xiao Jue and the old beggar and others didn't know where to go.
Seeing that Li Tianlan had already walked off the bridge, Tang Ning hurriedly followed. The old beggar and Peng Chen had both left. In order to prevent accidents, he had to hold Miss Li's thighs tightly.
Under the bridge is a small stall for guessing lantern riddles. There are several rows of lanterns hanging on a long shelf. You can get close to guess once if you guess it right. If you guess it right, you can get rid of the lanterns. If you can't guess it right, you won't get it back.
Just in case someone specializes in choosing a puzzle, the riddles are covered. When Tang Ning walked over, Li Tianlan had already revealed a riddle.
The mountains are covered with greenery, and people are among the plants and trees. She glanced at it and said: It's a word "tea"
The stall owner came over, smiled, took off the sky lantern, and said: Congratulations, girl, I guessed it right.
A woman next to her pinched her male companion's waist and said angrily: It's useless, I can't guess this, even a woman is not as good as a woman.
The young man smiled and said: It's just a little bit, just a little bit
Tang Ning took the lantern handed over by the shopkeeper, and Li Tianlan had already unveiled another one.
Ninety-nine missing one is a hundred, it is a white word
The smile on the stall owner's face was no longer as bright as before. He took off the lamp and said with a smile: The girl is so smart...
Li Tianlan continued to walk forward: ?The two mountains are opposite and connected, and there is a dangerous peak in the middle that penetrates the blue sky. Is it a word ?
The smile on the stall owner's face began to become more and more powerful
You have him, everyone has it, but I don’t have it. It’s a human word
The stall owner can no longer laugh
It's hard to speak, it's a word
?There are mountains on all sides, and the mountains are connected by one another, which is the word "field"
……
When Li Tianlan guessed for more than a dozen times, Tang Ning couldn't laugh anymore because the lamp on his hand could no longer be taken off. The stall owner walked to him, stuffed a piece of silver into his hand, and whispered: Young Master, take care of your wife. My small business, the whole family is counting on this business for dinner...
Tang Ning explained: She is not my wife
The stall owner looked at him and said: Then you might as well leave quickly. If you are seen by an acquaintance, you will be soaked in a pig cage...
Not someone else's wife
The thief dares to be so blatant. If you don’t leave, I will call someone Ah!
……
Tang Ning only picked two beautiful lamps and pulled Li Tianlan away.
He is not afraid of being soaked in a pig cage or being caught by stealing a lady. It’s just that someone is doing a small business. If she gets involved like this, the whole family may go hungry
Li Tianlan looked at the place where he guessed the riddle and said: There is no businessman. Just now, he saw that the person he guessed was a child, so he wanted to pay the debt. What business does such a person do? Why do you stop me?
It was naturally because if she guessed, the stall owner would shout "Miss Stealing". Tang Ning was worried that he would not live next year's Shangyuan if he shouted.
He shook his head and said: "The common people in the city, these are no longer normal. He bullies that child, and naturally some people bully him."
Tang Ning looked back and saw that the crowd in front of the stall had spread out. A child stood in front of the lamp stand, and the stall owner was pressed on the ground and beaten wildly.
My son dares to bully you, and you won’t be beaten to death!
……
I walked around the street with Li Tianlan and met Xiao Jue and the old beggar again
Where did you two go? I'm planning to send someone to find you!
Xiao Jue glanced at the two of them suspiciously and said: I have been shopping for half a night and I am tired and hungry. I will go to Tianranju. I will treat you to fill my stomach first and then go shopping.
In order to celebrate his impending becoming a veritable juren, Xiao Jue insisted on treating guests to dinner. Tang Ning shirked his responsibility and did not want to undermine his enthusiasm. He hesitated for a moment and agreed.
Tang Ning originally thought Tianranju was a restaurant, but when he arrived at the place, he realized that it was actually a garden with a large area.
In a place like the capital where every inch of land is valuable, if you can buy such a garden as a restaurant, the boss behind Tianranju must have money and power.
Li Tianlan stopped at the entrance of Tianranju and looked at the couplets hanging on both sides of the door.
Although it was night, the surroundings were brightly lit, so I could see this couplet clearly
It's just a cool state outside the world that talks about poetry, and even if the lotus dew is freshly cooked, the bamboo spring is just hot
I am soaking in my chest that I can drink wine so that I can chew the cold plums and eat the autumn chrysanthemums
Li Tianlan looked at the couplet and said: This couplet is elegant. In addition to this and the next couplet, can you come up with another one?
Tang Ning knew that her couplet was addicted to her again and urged her: This couplet is ordinary, what's the right thing to do? Go in and have dinner first. If you want to match couplets, go back tonight, there is still time to slowly match them.
If you don’t know, you won’t know. What’s the couplet? Since our couplet is ordinary, you would say that it’s not ordinary!
As soon as Tang Ning finished speaking, a dissatisfied voice came from behind them.
He turned his head and saw a girl dressed in a maid who was putting her hands on her hips, thrusting her chest, looking at him angrily
The little girl is also a good person to stand up in front of Miss Li. Who gives her the courage to stand up in front of Miss Li?
Tang Ning didn't plan to argue with the little maid, shook his head and said: Go in
The little maid stuck out her tongue at him and said: "You're so scared, you're still a man..."
Tang Ning took back the steps that had already taken place
The thing he hates the most in his life is that some people doubt whether he is a real man, no one
The thirteenth and fourteenth days of the first lunar month, plus the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, is the most lively day of the year in the capital. There is no curfew in the city these three days, so people can enjoy the rich nightlife.

My son dares to bully you, and you won’t be beaten to death!

I walked around the street with Li Tianlan and met Xiao Jue and the old beggar again
