Chapter 1274 Lantern Festival

It seems that the master still needs face, I am ashamed to plagiarize other people's achievements and claim it as my own. Maybe they will really find out an ancient book!

Ziyuan looked at Fang Xiaoxi, and didn't understand what Fang Xiaoxi was laughing at: "Since Miss Xiaoxi knows about it, the servant girl will go back first."

Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "Sister Ziyuan, go slowly."

Fang Xiaoxi, who was in a good mood along the way, couldn't help humming a song, and walked to the village chief a few steps: "Village chief, I'm back. I brought back the poems, when will I go to the dean to write them."

The village head feels that there is not even a basic shape now, and it seems that it is not very good to ask someone to write: "We'd better wait for the lamp to be formed soon, but we still have to make an appointment with the dean and the master first."

Fang Xiaoxi blinked her eyes, thinking about the poems in her hands: "Then you think it will take a few days, so hurry up, I will visit the dean today, set a time first, and let the dean familiarize himself with the poems."

The village chief didn't have any objection: "Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, Xiao Xi, if our lantern can take the first place, I will give you a great credit, hahaha, seeing that you are running every day, it's hard work Already."

In other villages, the village chiefs are running around looking for help and tricks. Needless to say, after this event, lamp makers, carpenters, and those who can paint tricks all made a fortune!

The entire Xianyou Town is bustling with activity, and everyone is busy. The yamen opened on the seventh day of the lunar new year. Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu took people back to the yamen, and felt the excitement of Xianyou Town along the way. .

"Many people in the town have participated in the Lantern Festival competition, and they are busy making lanterns! Speaking of which, there are still a few days left, and the meeting will start soon. How do we arrange these lanterns?"

These lanterns are to be sent for viewing, because it is a lantern festival, so naturally it can only be held at night. But if you wait until the Lantern Festival to make arrangements, it will definitely be too late.

Mu Yexiao also thought of this, and called Liu Fangfang on the first day of opening the yamen: "Take people to each village and see the size of the lanterns made by those people's villages. The lanterns that the villages participate in collectively , let’s display it on the street in front of the yamen.”

"The other person's is on the street outside. In the past few days, you should first build a batch of fences for easy dismantling. When the time comes, they will be used to hang lanterns, and they will be dismantled directly after hanging."

The entire Xianyou Town is not big, there are only two streets in total, but this time they are all used. Liu Fang took Zijiang to get busy, and Qian Jiujiu took everyone to clean up together, officially starting the preparations for the new year.

It's just that I feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I am a little absent-minded when doing things. Mu Yexiao looked at Qian Jiujiu's state and wondered, "What's wrong, lady?"

Qian Jiujiu frowned: "I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy, as if something bad happened, could it be something wrong with Qingye? Why have you been away for so long and haven't come back yet?" ah."

Mu Yexiao patted Qian Jiujiu's shoulder to comfort him: "Don't think too much, Qingye has only been there for a few days, I'm afraid I haven't arrived at Jiang Hu's hometown yet, that place is far and remote, and there is no news That's normal too."

Having said that, Qian Jiujiu still felt a little worried, and even the rabbit came out to comfort her: "Don't worry, the big big yellow and big gold are following her! What will happen?"

That's right, the golden python followed Beibei, no, what she was worried about was Qingye, how could the rabbit come out to comfort Beibei. Forget it, I guess I'll be back in a few days.

"Forget it, I'd better find something to do to keep myself busy. Maybe I'll think about it when I'm too idle."

Mu Yexiao shrugged his shoulders and ignored her. However, what Qian Jiujiu was busy with was her own business, so she got into the pharmacy and started researching medicinal materials.

After the opening of the yamen, there is nothing to do. Now people are busy making lanterns, praying that they can win the lottery and get the silver, so that the whole Xianyou Town is peaceful, and the people in the yamen naturally have nothing to do.

So they were all sent by Mu Yexiao to help arrange the scene of the Lantern Festival. After a lot of work, it was the Lantern Festival in a blink of an eye. Many carriages entered the town early in the morning, and the carriages were all decorated with lanterns made by their village.

Because it is daytime, everyone covered it with red cloth, and the red cloth would be torn off at night when the lights were lit.

All the carriages met at the entrance of the town. Liu Fang led the yamen servants to maintain the traffic here: "After you enter the carriage, put down the lanterns, and leave one or two people to guard it. Don't block the carriage in the town. And don't leave it around after entering, and don't Think about what position to fight for, and what position in each village has been arranged."

As soon as they heard that the positions of each village had been arranged, the people in those villages immediately asked, "How is it arranged? What is the basis for ranking?"

Liu Fang raised his eyebrows. These village chiefs are very ambitious: "Of course, they are arranged according to the size of the lanterns you make. The names of the lanterns are all written down. Don't misplace them. Misplaced ones will be regarded as Forfeit the game automatically."

As soon as you hear it is regarded as giving up the game, who would dare to put it indiscriminately, it must be placed properly. Seeing that all the village chiefs understood the rules, Liu Fangfang began to ask people to line up to enter.

There is a group of young people standing beside the carriage, they are here with you to carry the lanterns. After the carriage entered, according to what Liu Fang said, after finding his own place, he put down the lantern, and selected the most trusted people in the two villages to watch here. Of course, most of the village chiefs chose to stay by themselves. up.

Because the queuing was going on in an orderly manner, the lanterns in more than 120 villages were put up in one morning. In the afternoon, those private contestants all started to find their own seats and hang up the lights.

Of course, there are yamen guards in the private competition, and those who come to hang the lamps need to pay a few pennies to buy a booth. This is because there are only so many stalls here, and there are some good ones and some bad ones.

So who wants good and who wants bad! Naturally, it can only be distinguished by price. The price of a good location depends on whether you are willing or not.

Of course, the best places have been occupied by people now, and even the lanterns have been moved in, and they are covered with red cloth as usual!

At this time, the people who came here could only buy the remaining seats. Fortunately, most of the seats were okay, and the price was not expensive.

Everyone was busy during the day, and finally when the evening came, the Lantern Festival was about to begin. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao also came to the street. After all, they were going to be judges, so they had to come early.

When the two of them came, the lanterns had already been lit with candles, and they looked very luxurious and magnificent. Especially the biggest lantern among them, it looks really majestic and majestic after it is lit, and you can see four dragon heads from afar.

The position of the lamp is also placed above the position of the dragon head. This is a sea of ​​lanterns. All the lanterns are lit, making the whole Xianyou Town as bright as daytime, but with a different color, which is very beautiful. .

Qian Jiujiu smiled and said, "I saw the lanterns in Fangjia Village at first glance."

Just kidding, who can't see those bright faucets, and the characters on them, after all, this font is really beautiful. There were even more people visiting the Lantern Festival tonight. Almost every teahouse and restaurant in the town was full.

Mu Yexiao looked at the excitement of the crowd, but the most important thing was to vote for the first place tonight: "Everyone, listen to me, let's vote now, who will win the first place tonight. From now on, everyone present has a vote, and people from the two streets stop them, they can go out after voting, and no one is allowed to come in."

When everyone entered the arena, they had a paper ticket in their hands. This was made by the government office. When they entered the town, it was issued to everyone. There was a number written on it. Of course, the aborigines in the town had them.

There were still quite a few people watching the lanterns for the private competition outside. No one thought that the voting for this lantern festival was not the last, but the first program. This is really a rush to give money to people.

I can't get in now, even if I want to contribute to my village, what a pity. At this time, most of the lanterns in the village were watched by people from the town.

Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao: "Isn't it a bit unfair to let people vote like this and only look at the appearance? Why don't every village head introduce the lanterns in their village? What do you think, Dean? ?”

This time, not only Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao came here, but all the famous people in the town came here together. Each of them has ten tickets in their hands! In the end, maybe you can turn defeat into victory!

This is a good idea. Hearing this, the village chiefs became excited. Naturally, Mu Yexiao would not object to his wife's proposal, and looked at Liu Fangfang beside him: "Liu Fangfang, go prepare for the lottery, and use the lottery method to determine the order of their introduction."

Qian Jiujiu was a little speechless: "Don't be so troublesome, just make it according to the size, anyway, the position is already arranged."

That's true, but in this way, Fangjia Village is really taking advantage. In the crowd, Nan Nan also stood with Fang Xiaoxi: "If there is no accident, it should be the first introduction in your village. Have you told the village chief how to introduce it?"

Fang Xiaoxi nodded: "Don't worry, the village chief must know."

At this time, it was the village chief's turn to give a speech: "Hello everyone, I am the village chief of Fangjia Village, and this lantern behind me is a masterpiece that everyone in our village participated in these days. The name of the lantern is Long Looking up, it means our new year, good luck again and again."
