At this time, the city of Chang'an was already brightly lit, and all kinds of lights in the streets, streets, and squares were on stage, and there were lights and festoons everywhere.

The streets are full of people, and the men and women in Chang'an City, illuminated by the beautiful lights, are looking for the faces that make their hearts beat.

The little ladies lead the maids and maidservants in the mansion, playing around with blushing faces, and the young gentlemen, who know the etiquette, keep a close distance, pass by the beauties, and seek the 500-year marriage.

This night, the spring came ahead of time, so many shoes and socks were squeezed out on the street, and so many tender skins were touched by those hands.

For the Tang people, the Shangyuan Festival is not stingy with the Valentine's Day of later generations.To be precise, in Datang, the Shangyuan Festival is Valentine's Day.

In old dramas, there are countless stories about Lantern Festival encounters and loves, or lovers reunited. In "Spring Lantern Riddles", Yu Wenyan and Yingniang have a life-long relationship at the Lantern Festival; in "A New Story of Two Beijings", Princess Nanchen Lechang and her husband Xu Deyan reunited on the night of the Lantern Festival.

Ouyang Xiu's "Sheng Zhazi·Yuan Xi", "Last year's Yuan night, the flower market lights were like day, the moon was on the top of willows, and people made an appointment after dusk. This year's Yuan night, the moon and lights are still the same. I don't see last year's people, full of tears Spring shirt sleeves." It also wrote about the regret and sadness of the woman who did not see the person she loves on the day of Shangyuan Festival.

In the city of Chang'an, the eye movements and temptations between men and women are going on happily at night like this. People controlled by hormones are collectively caught in this large-scale outdoor blind date activity.

As the saying goes, people look for him thousands of times, and when they look back suddenly, the man is there, in a dimly lit place... Isn't the writing just a touch of the style of the Lantern Festival?

Li Wangyou was riding on horseback, surrounded and protected by Niu Wu and Bu Qu, walking slowly through the crowd, watching this scene in his eyes, but he couldn't help being drunk...

After a lot of difficulty, the group returned to the Kaihuafang mansion. The beautiful boss, Afuluo, Peilan and the others were already impatiently waiting.Seeing that he finally came back, the three women scolded him for being too slow, and immediately pulled him to go out to enjoy the lanterns.

Li Wangyou naturally obeyed his orders happily, and did not shy away from the eyes of others. He laughed, holding the beautiful boss with his left hand, and pulling Aphrodite with his right. Behind him was Pei Lan, who was dissatisfied because the man did not pull her. Under the escort of Niu Wu and others, they merged into the crowd of night tourists.

Watching lanterns, playing a hundred operas, welcoming Zigu, and singing songs... This night, Chang'an City is like a dream and a feast of carnival...

640 Guess the riddle

For Chang'an City, which has a curfew on 360 days and 360 days a year, the three days of Shangyuan Festival are very precious, so Chang'an City during these three days is also the hottest and wildest.

Li Wangyou and his party, under the protection of Fuzhong Buqu, followed the crowd and headed towards Dongshi.

The curfew was lifted on the Lantern Festival. Naturally, those merchants would not let go of such a good opportunity to make money. During the three days in the east and west cities, they were also open all night long.

No matter which dynasty it is in, the commercial center is naturally the most attractive, and the east and west cities naturally become the most lively places in Chang'an City during the Lantern Festival.

Even if Li Wangyou and the beautiful boss came from later generations, they have never experienced such excitement.Along the way, Su Changqing seemed to have turned into a girl like Pei Lan, pointing at all kinds of snacks sold by roadside vendors, coquettishly asking Li Wangyou to buy them.

Speaking of which, Tangshi sold a lot of snacks, all kinds of steaming cakes, glutinous rice balls, boiled water drinks, meat porridge, silk cages, fried cakes, candied haws, sugar figurines...

But whether it is the beautiful boss, Afro, or Peilan, they are actually big-eyed and small-bellied.Instigated Li Wangyou to run here and there to buy all kinds of snacks, but they just tasted them, and in the end these meals were all cheap for Niu Wu and the others.

Because there were too many people traveling at night, even in winter, Li Wangyou was sweating in the crowd.

Niu Wu originally saw that his husband was working hard and wanted to do it for him, but Li Wangyou flatly refused.In such a festival, it is fun to squeeze in the crowd and help the girls buy things.

In future generations, if any boy has the opportunity to go to the streets with girls like the beautiful boss, Afuluo, and Pei Lan, he probably would be willing to run away, right?

Looking at Su Changqing, who is as mature and attractive as a peach, Afuluo, who is sexy and charming, and Pei Lan, who is young and shy, Li Wangyou can't help but think of the comic "Three Sisters with Cat's Eyes" that he has read in later generations.

As many post-90s, the enlightenment animation of the bad side is the childhood memory of many people.The sexy and explosive figures of the three sisters are the ultimate temptation in the dreams of many boys.

As for my inexplicable Soul Transmigration Datang, but I can own these three, I really don't know if I saved the universe in exchange for it in my previous life... Thinking of this, the corners of Li Wangyou's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

My God, treat him well!

Playing, swimming, laughing, making noise... After shopping until the middle of the night, the crowds on the street still did not decrease.

At this moment, Li Wangyou finally felt that his legs were almost not his own.Looking at the three girls who were still in high spirits, Li Wangyou couldn't help but admire. Sure enough, men can never compare to women in things like shopping.

He pointed to a restaurant not far away, and said pleadingly: "Three aunts and grandmas, let's rest for a while, I really can't walk anymore. There is a restaurant over there, let's go have a snack, drink some drinks, and rest rest."

The beautiful boss naturally smiled and nodded in agreement, and everyone went to the restaurant.

During the Lantern Festival night tour, these restaurants in the city are of course open all night.

However, when Li Wangyou and the others walked to the door of this restaurant, they found that many people dressed as Confucian scholars gathered in front of the restaurant, and there were also many young ladies with maids, but they didn't go in, they just turned around at the door of the restaurant. Turning around, it seems to be looking at the lanterns hanging in front of the door.

Li Wangyou looked very strange, what are these people doing?If you don't go in to eat and drink, why are you wandering around the door of the restaurant?There are quite a few lanterns in front of this restaurant, there are hundreds of them, but they are all ordinary, what's there to see?

He didn't bother to think too much, and led a group of people in the mansion to the door of the restaurant, and was about to enter, but was stopped by the shop clerk, Doctor.

"My lord, I'm really sorry, you can't enter the restaurant at will today, you have to meet the conditions."

Li Wangyou was taken aback when he heard the words, is there still a condition for eating and drinking?

The doctor pointed to the hundreds of lanterns hanging in front of the restaurant: "My lord, today is the Shangyuan Festival, my boss has ordered that only those who guess the lantern riddles can enter, and all consumption will be entertained by the boss of the restaurant. Your house There are a lot of people, and to enter the restaurant, everyone has to guess a lantern riddle."

After being reminded by him like this, Li Wangyou and others noticed that each of the lanterns hanging outside the restaurant had a red note tied to it, presumably the riddles of the lanterns were written on it.

No wonder there are so many people gathered in front of this restaurant, but they don't go in, that's why.

The owner of this restaurant is also a wonderful person. Today he entertains guests for free, the only requirement is to guess the lantern riddles correctly, which is quite interesting.

Li Wangyou said with a smile: "Haha, since that's the case, then let's just guess the lantern riddles, what's so difficult about it?"

He spoke a little louder, but he dissatisfied the few Confucian scholars beside him: "Hmph, don't you want to talk big, this little gentleman, today's lantern riddles are very difficult. If you don't see me, we are all thinking hard here." Is it? There are so many people in Your Excellency’s mansion, it’s better to change to another restaurant.”

Today's trip, apart from Li Wangyou, the beautiful boss, Afuluo, Peilan, two brothers Niu Yong and Niu Wu, and four other guards from the mansion, there are ten people in total.

According to the requirements of the restaurant, you need to guess ten lantern riddles before you can enter.

Obviously, these lantern riddles are not simple, otherwise, there would not be so many people gathered at the entrance of the restaurant, unable to enter.

Regarding the doubts of the Confucian scholars, Li Wangyou was not angry, but just smiled.

Is it difficult to guess lantern riddles?

It may not be easy for people in Tang Dynasty. After all, there is no book like "Complete Book of Lantern Riddles" sold in Tang Dynasty, and no one has specifically summarized how to guess lantern riddles.But for Li Wangyou, who has been holding a thick copy of "Encyclopedia of Lantern Riddles" since he was a child, reading it as a leisurely book, it may not be so difficult.

Li Wangyou led Rou Yi, the beautiful boss, to stroll under the lantern, and looked around.

"Talk about five o'clock by the pillow, and type a word." Li Wangyou thought for a while, then pointed to the lantern and smiled at Su Changqing: "Pick it off, I guessed it."

The beautiful boss naturally smiled and nodded, reaching out to get the note hanging under the lantern, but suddenly stretched out an arm from the side, grabbing the lantern riddle away before the beautiful boss.

Li Wangyou couldn't help being furious, turned his head and stared, wanting to see who was so arrogant, but couldn't help but froze.

"Uncle, two aunts, why are you here?"

The person who stretched out his hand to snatch the crossword puzzle was none other than the smiling Empress Changsun.Standing beside her were Li Er and Concubine Yang, all three of them were dressed in casual clothes, apparently traveling in modest clothes.

Li Wangyou looked behind Li Er, there were dozens of palace guards in plain clothes, mingling in the crowd to secretly protect them, he had met several of them several times, and they were very familiar.

The beauty boss hurriedly pulled Afuluo and Peilan to greet Li Er and the others.

Li Er smiled and waved his hands: "There is no need to be too polite, today is the festive season, and your two aunts and I are also here to join in the fun."

Empress Changsun smiled and raised the lantern riddle in her hand: "Changqing, you don't have any objections to giving this lantern riddle to your aunt?"
