Chapter 211 It's all a bunch of hard-working people
These shopkeepers who sell lanterns and guess crossword puzzles just want to have fun, and they only earn a small amount of money to supplement their family income.
Zhao Mu called Linglong, took out a few taels of silver from his clothes, and handed them to the shopkeeper.
"Okay, shopkeeper, logically speaking, the word puzzles on your lanterns today are for others to guess.
Unexpectedly, I told them all. These lanterns were mine, so I bought them all.
If anyone around you likes it, just give it to them directly.
Linglong, Yue'er, you two each choose one!"
"Thank you, young master. Thank you, Mr. Zhao."
The two of them chose two they liked and put them in their hands, looking pleased with themselves.
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master!"
The shopkeeper was also very happy. Originally, he was just thinking about making some money during the first few days of the first month, who knew he would have a good start.
"Shopkeeper, give me one. Shopkeeper, I want it too, I want it too."
After a while, the remaining ones were all lit up, and the shopkeeper finished arranging the other batch of lanterns with a smile, hung them up, and started a new round of shouting at everyone.
Seeing his operation, Zhao Mu cursed in his heart, what a profiteer.
Look up at the young masters who want to challenge!
“I’m really sorry to you guys, I didn’t expect that I would win in the end.
I also told you at the time, we each have one chance, otherwise this matter will not become like this."
you.
But in front of so many people today, we must maintain our image no matter what.
He raised his hand and saluted Zhao Mu.
"Young Master Zhao's strength is obvious to all. Our strength is not as good as Mr. Zhao, so we will admit defeat."
Oops, it turns out we wrongly blamed this young master. Can we take back what we said before?
Although these gentlemen lost, their gentle and elegant appearance was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. This matter is inevitable.
Just as the words changed, the young men spoke.
"Mr. Zhao, these lantern riddles are just children's games.
We have read the books of sages and sages, but we don’t often play these children’s games.
I wonder if Mr. Zhao knows poetry and poetry?"
Bah, shameless, this is too much fun, I want to cheat.
After hearing what he said, everyone cast contemptuous looks.
You guys can't even play a kid's game, so what are you thinking about?
"Master Zhao, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in Chang'an City, he recited poems and made music, and the most beautiful buildings were filled with flowers.
Every year during the first few days of the first lunar month, Huamanlou will gather in Chang'an City, and even talented people from all over the world come to admire it.
Everyone gathers together to recite poems and have fun, which can be said to be very free and comfortable. Mr. Zhao, would you like to go to Huamanlou?"
"Hehehe, let me forget it, I don't know much about reciting poetry and making music!"
"So that's it, it turns out he's just a person who knows how to play children's games."
Zhao Mu has seen too many people like them.
If you agree to their request and defeat them with poetry and music, the next game will follow.
By then, things would happen again and again, completely disrupting my own enjoyment.
Sometimes appropriate concessions are not fear, but actually reduce a lot of trouble!
"So, Mr. Zhao is here!"
Although they lost the crossword puzzle today, the following sentence really made them feel that they had lost the game.
Just think of him as a country guy who has learned some children's stuff and comes to show off and cheat in Chang'an City. He won't get much publicity!
Although it makes people save face, it doesn't hurt to think about it.
A few people got up and left, planning to go shopping around again and then go to Huamanlou to recite poems and have fun!
Seeing them leaving, Zhao Mu and his party also left and continued wandering around!
"Master, you shouldn't have given them face at that time.
Young Master, your ability to write poems is the best in the entire Tang Dynasty. If I had such talent as Young Master, I would just stand up and knock them down with a few words.
Let them know what it means that there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world!"
"Hahahaha, okay Linglong, since the matter has passed, there is no need to worry about it.
You have to remember not to waste time on things that have nothing to do with you, as doing so is just a waste of life."
"It's young master, I understand."
"Okay, let's go see them do acrobatics."
Breaking rocks on the chest, spitting fire, and all kinds of acrobatics are dazzling to watch.
There is also a child holding a tray and walking among the surrounding people.
"Dear guests, those who have money will support me with money, and those who have no money will support me with personal support. Thank you, guests. Thank you, guests."
Zhao Mu took out a few taels of silver and threw it over. Everyone else gave them copper coins, but this person gave them silver coins. That person thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you for this guest, thank you for this guest."
They are all a group of hard-working workers, earning some hard-earned money.
After watching the acrobatics, I left here and went to the other side. There were many people selling food.
The two of them had a great appetite, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, buying, and eating all kinds of things while walking.
"Young Master, Chang'an City is really lively on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. There are so many people and there are so many things to eat. It makes people want to linger here.
It's just a pity that no matter how lively it is, it only lasts a few days.
During other times, Chang'an City will implement a curfew, and the entire streets will be deserted."
The purpose of implementing a curfew is to provide better management at night.
There are not many good words that correspond to night, such as dark night and high wind, murderous night.
This is also done to prevent crime.
If a crime occurs at night and there are many people, it will be very difficult to arrest it.
Therefore, for better management, we can only implement a one-size-fits-all system.
In addition to these large festivals, curfews are imposed during other times.
Speaking of the curfew in Chang'an, it reminds me of the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty in later generations.
Their Chinese nation is just like the Tang Dynasty now. It uses its broad mind to welcome all the countries from the surrounding countries to gather here. "Master, what is the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty?"
Just when Zhao Mu was sighing secretly, Linglong on the side poked her chin with her thumb and asked.
"The so-called Sleepless City of the Tang Dynasty means that Chang'an City completely lifted the curfew.
I can play and sing every night, I can sing and dance every night, and every night is just like today."
