Sparrow Feather

They came just in time, Qi Ruiguo is celebrating the National Day, the so-called National Day is similar to Chinese New Year, but it is different from Chinese New Year in that it has different things to do every day.

The tradition of national festival originated from the emperor's ascension to the throne and the founding of the new country, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth. Later, over time, people continued to reform and added many new customs. Day, Empress Day, Fushou Day, Joy Day, Lovesickness Day, Red Makeup Day and Wishing Day.

There is always a children's song saying: "Sacrificing to the heaven and the earth, the emperor's queen's country is Chang'an, the family is happy and happy, the children and grandchildren are full of joy, lovesickness and dreams, accompanied by red makeup, and wish a happy day."

Today is lovesickness day, lovesickness dream person.

What young people like most is the lovesickness day. On the lovesickness day, men send flowers and women send fans.

There is another activity, lighting the lights. In fact, it should not be called lighting the lights, but guessing lantern riddles. This is a two-person activity. The participants are usually couples, but not limited to couples...

So when the boy excitedly pulled the sparrow over, the sparrow was strangely silent...

"Little boy, have you ever played this game?" The referee's sister next to him knew that he was not from his own country when she saw the boy's blue eyes and blond hair, but she would not stop her.

"Have you ever participated in the sparrow?" The boy pulled the sparrow by the hem and looked at him.

"...No," Sparrow smiled apologetically at the referee's sister, and shook his head at the young man, but his eyes were a little wandering. Of course, he had never participated in it, but he knew the customs, the rules, and the connotation...

Lighting...Lighting... originated from the use of lamps in ancient times. Light up the lamp in front of the Buddha and accompany the Buddha; light up the lamp in the room and accompany you at home; light up the lamp in the river and accompany people; Heart.And those who can light the lamp together will be with you for a long time...

The rules of the game are to randomly draw two lots and then decrypt them.

The group that deciphers the fastest will get the best-looking lanterns, and the rest are river lanterns. Those lanterns are particularly beautiful. They are classical lanterns with ladies, scenery, and poems painted on them, or cute and cute animal lanterns.

Many people participated, not all for the lanterns, but more for the friendship.

The sparrow heard the referee explain the rules, the boy's eyes were always bright, and he was very excited.

After queuing up and drawing lots, the boy opened the red paper in his hand, on which was written a word, Jin.

"What do you mean? Does it mean gold? Or do you mean metal utensils?" the young man muttered to himself.

Where is the gold?The young man looked around, there were quite a lot of metals, the young man thought, so many metal places must not be the answer to the mystery, he can't just try it, everyone only has three chances to ask if it is correct.

Hmm...what the hell?The young man thought about it left and right, but it couldn't be on a human body, so the gold system was also wrong...

"Sparrow, have you guessed it?" the boy asked.

"No," there was a word on the sparrow's red paper, red.

"Red?" The boy looked around again, and suddenly saw a lively place in the distance, "Sparrow Sparrow, look, what is that?"

"That's Hongxi Terrace, commonly known as the stage, where operas are sung." Sparrow explained.

"Isn't that just red?!" the boy said excitedly.

"Red? Although there is a red letter on Hongxi Terrace, is he not red?" Sparrow was a little puzzled.

"Sparrow, you are so stupid! How can this red be the color of red? It should be the color of attention. See if that place has the most people now," the boy explained excitedly.

"Well, yes," the sparrow laughed.

"So that's red!" The young man was extremely cute.

"Yes, yes, very right!" The sparrow praised without hesitation.

"Hmm, then go ask," the boy became reserved again, but his tone was still very proud.

"Okay," Sparrow looked at the boy and smiled very proudly.

Seeing the two people approaching, the referee was a little surprised and said, "Did you guess it so quickly?"

"No, no, we only guessed one," the boy volunteered.

"Well, what's that?" the referee asked.

"Red is the Red Seal Terrace, isn't it?" The young man took the initiative again, his blue eyes were extremely beautiful.

"Yes, the answer is correct, I will give you a river lantern," the referee said with a smile.

"Huh? Isn't there a reward for guessing everything?" The young man looked at the river lantern in his hand, a little surprised.

"Of course not, as long as you guess it, you will be rewarded," the referee said with a smile.

"Then we don't have to guess anymore?" The boy felt a little regretful.

"No, if you can guess the other one, we can give you a lantern." The referee comforted.

The referee who was comforted was called away by others.

"Sparrow? Why aren't the rules the rules?" The boy looked puzzled, but that wasn't what he said at the time.

"Because this is a custom, there is no need for big competition, but to have fun with the people, to win harmony, and to be happy when you lose," said the sparrow, stroking the boy's head.

"Yeah, I see," the boy smiled, and said mischievously, "Then let's quickly guess the rest, and then find the referee's sister to exchange for rewards!"

"Okay," Sparrow nodded with a smile. His teenager has a lot of curiosity and prefers to think, which really makes him proud.

"What exactly does gold mean? Hmm... the sparrow, is it a Buddha statue?" the young man looked at the sparrow and said.

"Hahaha!" Before the sparrow could answer, a young man in red laughed wantonly.

"Hey, I'm not a local. Why did I participate in the lighting?" The boy in red walked up to the boy and looked at the strange boy wearing a veil.

"Hey? Why are you wearing a veil? That's strange, is your face hurt?" The red-clothed boy was thinking whatever he wanted, and his hands were like lifting the veil.

However, a hand stopped him, "Impossible." The sparrow was serious.

"Okay, okay, you foreigners just have a lot of things, you have all... customs." The boy in red curled his lips and retracted his hands. Although he was still curious, he didn't do anything anymore. He was also sensible and knew that there were some things. Things cannot be touched.

"Have you been talking about gold?" the boy in red asked.

"Yes, do you know what? Is it a Buddha statue?" This is the first time the boy saw this kind of peer. Although his movements were unruly but restrained, the boy's curiosity was endless, but he could not cross the line.

"How could it be a Buddha? Although the Buddha statue has a golden body, hahahaha, you will never guess it in your life!" said the young man in red arrogantly.

"Why?" The boy asked curiously.

"Because it comes from ancient poetry! There are no ancient poems in foreign countries!" The boy in red was very proud.

"That ancient poem?" The boy asked again, he always loves to learn.

"Report your intentions on the golden stage, and lead Yulong to die for you!" the young man in red said loudly.

"Gold, it's the Golden Terrace..." The boy in red made a sound before he could finish speaking.

"Brother! Brother, what are you doing! Aren't you going to guess the riddle with me?" The girl in pink clothes ran over.

"...It's not that I said, we are brothers and sisters, not lovers, how can we guess riddles!" The red-clothed boy looked impatient, not that he really didn't want to go, but his sister is simply a mystery maniac, if he goes, If you don't guess thirty or forty, you can't stop, let alone he still wants to watch the fireworks!

"But you went to quiz with Brother Fan last time! You are not in a relationship!" The girl broke the lie with an unhappy expression.

"You Brother Fan, who doesn't know that Brother Fan is my boyfriend, what's wrong with me going with him!" the young man in red said righteously, he and Brother Fan are male friends, referred to as boyfriend!

"You you! Hmph! Bad brother!" The girl in pink shook her hand angrily and left.

"I'm going to watch the fireworks first." The boy in red nodded to them and left.

"Sparrow..." The boy looked surprised.

"Hmm..." Sparrow was very flustered, he didn't expect that the boy would hear this, but he was also a little happy, he also wanted the boy to ask.

"It turns out that gold means golden platform! The ancient poems are so profound!" The young man sighed.

"..." The sparrow didn't want to speak anymore.

Seeing the young man rushing to the referee to exchange the reward, the sparrow felt a little melancholy.

He didn't see the smile in the boy's eyes.
