The best idlers of the Tang Dynasty

Du Rui didn't know what Emperor Taizong was thinking. If he knew, he would probably only secretly rejoice. Now that the Northern Expedition had passed, Du Rui felt a little regretful. Not going out, not taking two steps, plus just practicing martial arts and writing books every day, I am very busy.

On Yuan Festival, Du Rui didn't want to go out at first. After all, he was still wearing the hat of being a filial piety for Du Ruhui at this time. If those who are jealous of him find out and attack him for a crime of unfilial piety when going out for fun Oops.

But I couldn't help Du Yunlian's hard work, and Du Rui himself wanted to see the customs of the Tang Dynasty. What happened to the Lantern Festival? Du Rui had only read it in the history books in his previous life. He was also curious about the grand occasion.

When the lights first came on, Du Rui took his four younger sisters, Baochai, Daiyu, Yuanchun, and Du Pingyuan, out of the house.

At this time, the great victory of the Northern Expedition had just been experienced, and the people of Datang were high-spirited. They had been aggrieved for several years, and finally they were able to have a lively time, and the entire Chang'an City was immediately decorated with splendor.

"Third brother, I want that rabbit lamp!"

"Third brother, I want to eat candied haws! (I don't know if they were available at that time, but I just pretended to be)"

"Third brother, I want to eat caramel!"

After finally having a chance to go out to have fun, the little girl Du Yunlian seemed very excited, and bought a lot of things in a short while. Du Rui has always spoiled her, and these little things don't cost much. Every time Du Yunlian opens his mouth, Du Rui always buys ten copies, which makes all the girls very happy.

"Someone is guessing lantern riddles over there! Third brother, hurry up and have a look!" Du Yunlian didn't know what she saw, and shouted again, "Third brother! I must bring some more, I want to hang the lantern in my room, It must be beautiful!"

"Okay, then go and have a look!" Seeing that Du Yunlian was happy, Du Rui followed her.

The street over there is jointly held by several merchants. There is a lantern riddle on each lantern, and if you guess it correctly, you can take the lantern away.If you guess wrong and you fancy that one again, you have to pay for it.

"Young master, come and see!" A clerk greeted them enthusiastically when he saw them, "The most beautiful row of lanterns over there is a fan made by our shopkeeper, go and guess!"

"Okay!" Du Rui said with a smile, "Lian'er, Fu'er, you all take a look, and see if I can take it back for you!"

"I want the one with the bird!" Du Yunlian had already squeezed in front of the crowd, stood on tiptoe, stretched her neck for a while, and then pointed to a lantern with a mandarin duck and shouted loudly.

"Don't be alarmed by falling flowers all over the ground. Shoot Jin's name! It's Xie An!"

"Correct answer! This lantern belongs to you!"

"Fifteen days. Shoot a word. Fat, isn't it?"

"That's right again!"

"Half of Chunqiu. Shoot a character. Qin!"

"Eternal peace. Shoot a place name. Chang'an!"

"Sunrise fills the mountain, dusk returns to the hall, a new owner emerges every year, and every day picks flowers. Shoot an animal! A bee!"

"Little Zhuge Liang, sitting alone in the tent in the army, arranged in a gossip formation, specially catching flying generals. Beat common animals in life. Spiders!"

The guys over there had already opened their mouths, and a lot of onlookers came over to watch the excitement. When Du Rui gave the answer, some were puzzled and were still thinking with their heads down, while some thought of the mystery , couldn't help clapping hands and laughing.

"Third brother! Come on! And that one, the upper and lower ones!" Du Yunlian also played like crazy, clapping her hands and laughing loudly.

Du Rui took a look and said with a smile, "It's a stuck word!"

"Shangwu elder brother?" "It's a song!"

"Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not. It is half like a jackal, cat and dog. It is neither a domestic animal nor a wild animal. There are also poems, words, and the Analects of Confucius. It is completely blurred about east, west, north, south. Although it is a sketch, It is also a wonderful essay."

"What kind of riddle is this!" Baochai on the side couldn't help shouting when she saw it, "It's obviously a couplet!"

"Miss, this is indeed a riddle. Type one word for each of the upper and lower couplets." The man smiled apologetically.

Du Rui looked at it, already thinking about it, who is he, in his age of knowledge explosion, even if he wanted to build an atomic bomb, he could get an unknown method from Baidu and Google, not to mention these couplet riddles, After thinking for a while, he said confidently: "The first couplet is a word for 'guess', and the second couplet is a word for 'mystery', together they are a guessing riddle!"

"Young Master is really amazing!" The guy smiled apologetically, and hugged the beautifully painted lantern with various myths and legends, "This belongs to you, Young Master!"

"Okay, let's go back!" Li Chengqian looked at the huge lantern, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Just now, the four younger sisters, and Baochai and the others already had full hands, so they had to hold it by themselves. , a group of little girls laughed, turned and walked back contentedly.

And Du Rui, who was following them, suddenly saw a familiar figure, wearing a moon-white dress, with black hair simply rolled up, although not very beautiful, but it also showed a unique style of pure beauty, which could be vaguely seen After seeing the woman's appearance, Du Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. It was his long-lost ex-fiancée Xiao Rong. Du Rui had also seen the one who was by Xiao Rong's side. Cui Dan, seeing that the two of them had a happy conversation, I think Xiao Wei broke off the engagement with him, probably because he wanted to marry Cui Dan, who was born in a noble family in Shandong.

"Third brother, hurry up!"

"Ah, come on!"

Du Rui is a person who is free and easy by nature. Since there is no fate, he doesn't think about it anymore. She is just an ordinary woman. There is no grass anywhere in the world. It is destined that Xiao Rong will marry someone else's wife, so she cares about her own. Marriage is that.

After playing around with Du Yunlian and other girls in the middle of the night, Du Rui was also a little tired. Seeing that Du Yunlian was still in high spirits, and there were more and more people around him, Du Rui was worried that it would be dangerous, so he stopped and called out. Du Yunlian who planned to go to the shadow play.

"Lian'er! It's too late! Go back first!"

Du Yunlian was still dissatisfied, she pouted and said, "Third Brother! Let's play for a while! At worst, I won't buy anything, you can play with us again!"

Du Rui smiled and said, "I'm afraid you are the only one who wants to play. Look at your third sister and the others."

Du Yunfu and the girls were already sleepy at this time, and they knew that they were very sleepy at a glance, and it was a group of people playing with Du Yunlian in the middle of the night.

Although Du Yunlian was unwilling, she could only stop when she saw the situation, and said: "Okay! I will follow you, and I will go back! But when I get home, the third brother must tell me a good story about the third brother!"

Du Rui couldn't help it, he couldn't bear to beat her, and couldn't bear to scold her, so he could only pamper her, and said, "Okay! Okay! Okay! It's all up to you!"

After finally persuading Du Yunlian to be willing to go back, before she could leave, Du Yunlian discovered something strange, and ran over in a hurry, regardless of Du Rui.

Du Rui came to his senses, and just as he was about to step forward, he saw Du Yunlian pushed aside by a man dressed as a rich man, fell to the ground, and cried bitterly.

Seeing this, Du Rui was immediately furious, stepped forward, and grabbed the rich man's skirt, just about to reprimand loudly, he froze, and couldn't help saying: "It's you~~~~~~~"
