The dinner lasted until the hour of Hai before it ended. Perhaps because both parties put down the big stone pressing on their hearts, everyone on the table was drunk, and finally they were helped back to their room to rest by the waiter.

The next morning, when Liuyingshan set off to return to Liujiabao, Zhan Hailiang personally led a group of followers out of the Marquis's gate.

Until now, Liu Yingshan was still very puzzled. He didn't understand what kind of nerves these usually arrogant guys suddenly had, and he was so arrogant at first and then respectful?

What he didn't know was that after Zhan Hailiang led his army back to the camp, he issued a strict order, prohibiting his troops from offending Liujiabao and all industries under his name, and those who violated the crimes would be killed without mercy!

Changsun Ding, Dugu Ba and other Xuande generals who had experienced the boundless miracles of the eldest daughter also issued similar bans to their respective troops.

In addition, whenever the troops under Zhan Tianying saw the unique flag of the Rakshasa Sect, they would not harass or plunder again in order to avoid causing conflicts.

The interests of the two sides overlap in many regions. Due to various factors, the senior generals of the Xuande Army seemed too restrained, resulting in the reduction of the income of the Yunzhong Empire in the Hetao area. How can Zhan Tianying support his increasingly large army?

At present, he was even less concerned about advancing into the North China Plain and strictly ordered the generals of the Xuande army to not be too ruthless to the Rakshasa Sect. The interests and wealth that should be fought for must be fought for according to reason!

However, both sides have their own opinions on some issues, so who can explain the truth clearly?

Therefore, some unexpected emergencies occasionally occur between the Xuande Army and the Rakshasa Sect and trigger conflicts, but both sides are restrained enough that the conflict will not intensify further and become a war

However, whether for profit or for the support of the people in the base area, Zhan Tianying finally scored the gods to deal with the Rakshasa Sect. The attacks on Millennium Dynasties were affected to a certain extent. The pace of advancing and infiltration into the North China Plain was effectively curbed and delayed.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was coming. Wuyue got up early in the morning. On such an important day, he naturally had to sleep in Ziyan House overnight. The eldest sister gritted her teeth as usual, but she didn't know how to deal with him.

After careful care of Rainbow and Elsa, two relatively lively sisters, he did not let Sister Beifeng come in to serve her because she was taciturn or because she was too rude, but because she didn't want her to be tired.

In his mind, Beifeng is not so much a fiancée, but rather a big sister who is highly respected and trusted by him. The kindness he has had in his past and present lives is enough for him to repay.

After washing up, he and Zi Yan and his girls came to the hall downstairs, where almost all the relatives of the Liu family gathered here.

Although the Liu family has moved back to their respective residences, in order to respect the guests, the boss must arrange any important activities in the hall of the Yingbin Monastery in order to respect the guests.

Wuyue gathered with her relatives on both sides, and the whole family sat in the hall to have Lantern Festival together. This is undoubtedly the most important celebration of the Lantern Festival.

The Lantern Festival of rice stew is different from other places. It is not wrapped, but mixing glutinous rice and rice in a certain proportion, mashing it into rice flour, and knead different ingredients such as sugar, roses, sesame, bean paste, meat paste, yellow cinnamon, walnut kernels, nuts and date paste into fillings. Use a basket to roll it into a round shape in the rice flour, and it means hot and hot, and it means reunion and happiness. It is steamed and fried when cooking. There are many varieties, which can be meat or vegetable, and the flavors are different.

Perhaps because he was used to this taste, Wuyue liked to eat Lantern Festival at home. After eating it, he wanted to try other varieties. He thought that if he tried Lantern Festival with Tang Mei, this girl would definitely not be able to eat him until he could no longer hold on. He felt the warm and soft mouth and the fragrance was still endless. He couldn't help but sigh: It's great to be at home!

Seeing this, the eldest lady sitting beside him immediately became energetic and swears: Wuyue, do you think Mizhi Lantern Festival is so delicious? The eldest sister will go to the kitchen to observe it. If it takes only two days, it will definitely be more delicious than the chefs at home. In the future, the eldest sister will cook for you every morning, but the premise is that you have to come to the eldest sister! After that, she didn't wait for him to reply, and rushed to the kitchen like a wind, entangling the chefs who were busy seeking scriptures.

After just experiencing this battle with Xuande Army, the Liu family had regarded the two chiefs and deputy heads of the Rakshasa Sect as guardian gods and admired them very much. Naturally, they all gave her everything without any private information.

As the enemy retreated, dark clouds destroyed the city, the imminent threat was lifted. The girls of the Liu family completely relaxed. The festive atmosphere was much warmer than the more important reunion dinner and the New Year's Eve. The sisters laughed and laughed at each other while having Lantern Festival. The scene was very lively.

After eating Lantern Festival, under Xu Yusu's guidance, the women of the Liu family began to worship the door according to the custom of Mizhi, inserted poplar branches above their respective portals, inserted a pair of chopsticks in the bowl containing bean porridge, and placed the wine and meat in front of the door.

Then there are rats, welcome Zigu to worship the god of the toilet, Wuyue and the girls go out together, carry out activities such as touching nails across the bridge and waving all diseases, and drive away diseases and disasters. The purpose is to pray to the will of heaven, protect the people, gods, people, ghosts and animals, without any omissions

Then Wuyue and his girls boarded the joyfully decorated carriage and went shopping together, which is also a major feature of the Lantern Festival.

On the carriage to Mizhi City, he smiled at Xiaohong: You have always been known for your erudition and talent. Can you tell me the origin of the Lantern Festival so that we can gain some knowledge?

Xiaohong nodded and talked: There are many sayings about the origin of the Lantern Festival. There is an interesting legend about the lanterns. A long time ago, there were many ferocious birds and beasts, and they hurt people and livestock everywhere. People organized to fight them. A divine bird was trapped and lost and landed on earth, but was shot to death by an uninformed hunter. The Emperor was very angry when he learned about it. He immediately ordered the heavenly soldiers to set fire to the earth on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, burning all the people and animals to death. The Emperor's daughter was kind-hearted and could not bear to see the innocent suffering of the people, so he secretly drove the auspicious clouds to the earth to tell people the news.

Wuyue felt aroused when she heard this. The daughter of Emperor Tian is Greyho. When did she come down to earth to do such a good thing?

Why have you never heard her talk about it?

With her personality, it is normal for people to do good deeds without knowing it. This was the case when she dressed up as Xiaoyu to serve him to recuperate.

However, there is a problem here. People’s understanding of the separation between immortals and mortals is too superficial. First of all, since they are divine birds, how could they get lost in the mortal world?

Mortals are even more incapable of killing it; secondly, the greyhound could not descend to the earth in his previous life, unless he was reincarnated, just like her now

Then he thought about it again and again, this was just a folk legend, expressing people's infinite admiration for the little princess with fairy branches and jade leaves in the heavenly court, so why should I take it seriously?

No matter what, he missed this beautiful, gentle, dignified and elegant little fairy a little, and secretly thought that he should take time to go to the Jade Emperor Top of Mount Tai as soon as possible to get together with her, as well as Feng Yin, Ruowen and Ying'er...

While pondering, Xiaohong continued: Everyone was so scared that they didn't know what to do when they heard about this news. Finally, an old man came up with a way. On the 14th, 15th and 16th day of the first lunar month, every household would set up lights and decorate at home, making the Emperor of Heaven think that people were burned to death. On the night of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Emperor of Heaven opened his eyes and looked at the mortal world. He found that there was a red everywhere, which was the case for three consecutive nights. He thought that the flames burned by the fire had saved their lives and property. From then on the 15th day of the first lunar month, every household would hang lanterns to commemorate this day.

After listening to it, Wuyue gave an evaluation: It's too popular and doesn't match your peerless talented woman's identity, haha!

When the carriage entered Mizhi City, Wuyue and others ordered the driver to drive slowly, lift the curtains, watch dragon lanterns, stilts, lion dances and dry boats and other performances, and play all the way, but saw tourists on both sides of the street, including men, women, young and old. The vendors placed all the goods on the temporary stalls in front of the store, shouting loudly to sell them to passers-by, which seemed very lively.

Before we knew it, night gradually came. This is the night when the earth rejuvenated in spring and the first full moon night. People celebrate Lantern Festival as a continuation of the Spring Festival.

According to the ancient customs of the Central Plains, on this night when the full moon hangs high in the sky, thousands of colorful lanterns are lit on the streets, and every household is decorated with lanterns and various types. There are also tall lamp wheels, lamp buildings and lamp trees. They are full of golden lights everywhere, exquisite and fantastic, dazzling and spectacular, with tourists coming and going, more lively than during the day.

Ten thousand colorful lanterns on the street form a mountain of lanterns, lanterns and fireworks, golden and blue, and beautiful and beautiful

Tourists gathered on both sides of the street to watch the genius of magical abilities show off various juggling skills, singing and dancing, and scales are connected.

The streets and alleys, teahouses and wine shops are lit up, gongs and drums are heard, and the music is noisy for more than ten miles.

In the music and dance performances in the market, a large number of girls who sing and dance in the lights are particularly eye-catching. Men refuse to miss this opportunity and rush to the front to watch carefully and search for their favorite beauties.

In addition to these beautiful dancers, Wuyue also saw many women wearing festive costumes, regardless of age, walking out of the house in groups, laughing in groups on the streets in three or five, looking around. He couldn't help but open his eyes and asked in confusion: Xiaohong, in recent years, when I was out in the world, I usually only saw some married women in towns and streets in various places. Why did so many young girls who were not married yet appear tonight? And they were all smiling, which was too abnormal.

Xiaohong smiled and said: Because girls who are not married are bound by ethics, they don’t go out all day long, and they don’t go out of the door, so they can only stay in the boudoir to learn needlework and thread, etc. During the Lantern Festival, they can go out together to relax, providing young men and women with a chance to get close to each other. If young men can find the one they like by watching the lanterns, they will often motivate their parents to propose marriage to the woman’s house, which will lead to many happy marriages. Couples who cannot meet usually can also take this opportunity to go up to the willows and make an appointment after dusk.
