After dark, Chen Changsheng went out with Ruyi and Ping An.
The temple fair is held in the east of the city, because there is a river there, so it is natural to choose a place with water to worship the Dragon King. In the early years, a Dragon King Temple was built here, which was larger than other temples and similar to the City God Temple.
There has been a lot of incense in recent years.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but think that there were really more and more temples of the Old Dragon King. At that time, they were only popular in the Tongtian River area, but now they are everywhere.
It is estimated that it is not the old Dragon King who is busy with these things. How can he have such thoughts? It is probably all done by Yin.
Speaking of which, I don't know if the old Dragon King will come to this temple fair.
If you come, you can bring some blessings to Ping An and Ruyi.
Chen Changsheng held a person by the hand and arrived at the east side of the city.
When the elder and the younger saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but be stunned.
"So many people!"
“So lively!”
Ping An and Ruyi looked at the crowds of people in front of them and the brightly lit lights. They looked at everything curiously.
This was a bustle they had never seen before.
I have never seen so many people gathered together, it was almost impossible to squeeze in.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but think that the Qingshan City Temple Fair was probably more lively than the one he had seen in Shangjing City.
"Uncle Chen, let's go over there. There's a villain over there!"
It was Chen Changsheng who was supposed to be pulling them, but at this time Chen Changsheng was being pulled by Ruyi to run around in the temple fair.
"Thing choke, thump choke..."
I saw a small car standing on the street. There was a piece of cloth sealed on the small car, and there were little people moving on it. With the sound of gongs and drums, the little people on the picture started fighting.
There were people around, all watching attentively.
"good!"
With a cry of praise, the front of the car became lively.
Then he threw the reward money over again.
"Thank you all, thank you all."
The tinkling copper coins fell to the ground, and the sound was very loud.
"What is this?" Ruyi asked curiously.
Chen Changsheng said: "This is called a shadow puppet show. Is it good to watch?"
"It looks good!" Ruyi and Ping An had never seen such a novelty before.
A few people stopped and looked at it for a while.
It was a play about fighting a tiger.
"How did you do it?" Ping An was a little curious.
Chen Changsheng explained it to him.
After hearing this, Ping An said: "It seems, it's not difficult..."
Chen Changsheng said: "This requires skill. Although shadow puppetry looks simple, it requires a lot of skill. Otherwise, the movements of the shadow puppets cannot be so smooth, and it will feel strange when you look at it."
"Uncle Chen has seen it before?"
"This is also the first time I've seen it."
"Then Uncle Chen knows so much."
"Read more."
"oh……"
After looking at it for a while, Ping An and Ruyi were attracted to other places.
Chen Changsheng said: "Don't leave in a hurry. We have been here for so long, and we can't just watch other people's dramas in vain."
Ruyi and Ping An looked at each other, obviously they were short of money.
Chen Changsheng said: "It's just for fun. It's not that I won't let you see it if you don't have money. But if you have money, you will still be rewarded. This is respect for others."
"It's like..." Ping An understood and said, "Like Mr. Storyteller?"
"good."
Chen Changsheng took out three coins from his pocket.
Then he threw it in.
The guy in front of the car immediately handed him over and thanked him.
Chen Changsheng responded with a warm smile, and then left with peace and happiness.
Then he was taken to guess lantern riddles.
Ping An and Ruyi probably run wherever they want to see beauty. For such children, the brightest place in the bustle is the most lively place.
I saw a note hanging on each lantern with words on it.
You pay three cents for one guess, and you get a prize if you guess right.
As for the prizes, they are mostly novel gadgets.
There was a row of lanterns hanging on it, and when they arrived, someone happened to guess one correctly and took a box of rouge from the owner of the lantern riddle.
Ping An jumped up and said somewhat helplessly: "Uncle Chen, Ping An can't see you."
"I'll carry you up."
"Watch it if you wish!"
"Let's get together."
Chen Changsheng held one in each of his left and right hands.
This startled the people next to me.
"Brother, you are very capable!"
Chen Changsheng responded with a smile.
The boss of the lantern riddle guessing game was an old man. He looked at the people in front of him and said with a smile, "How about giving it a try?"
Ping An looked at the note in front of him and muttered: "Blow half of the flowers in the apricot forest and type one word?"
The boss praised: "Oh, the young master is so awesome, he actually recognizes everyone."
Ruyi also looked at one and said, "The sound of the gentle breeze blowing and the rain is also a sign of typing."
"Young ladies are amazing," the boss praised.
Chen Changsheng saw that both of them were thinking.
"Did you think of that?" Chen Changsheng asked.
Ping An blinked and said, "Uncle Chen, Ping An seems to have guessed it."
Ruyi reacted in a blink of an eye, "I know!"
Chen Changsheng immediately took out six cents and handed it to the boss.
Ping An said: "Blowing open half of the flowers in the apricot grove is the character for cough, right? Half of the two characters for apricot grove, the rest becomes the character for bunch, and combined with the separate character for blowing, it becomes the character for cough."
The boss was stunned for a moment, then said: "Young Master is amazing!!"
Then the boss took out the things placed in the lantern.
"What is it?" Ping An asked curiously.
The boss said: "It's a hairpin. Congratulations, young master."
Ping An took it in his hands, obviously very satisfied with it.
The people watching on the sidelines were full of admiration.
"This doll is really amazing."
"How did you guess this?"
The boss looked at Ruyi again and asked: "How did you guess, little lady?"
"Is that the right word?" Ruyi said.
Unfortunately, Ruyi guessed wrong.
Ruyi was a little puzzled and asked: "Uncle Chen, isn't that the name?"
Ping An smiled and said: "Sister, I'm so stupid. It's obviously the character for Yu."
"Boss, am I right?"
The boss said: "The lady guessed wrong just now. If you want to guess again, you have to give me more money."
Chen Changsheng handed over another three coins and went out.
The boss asked: "Young master, should you guess the word "yu"?"
"If you don't change it, it will just be the character Yu." Ping An said.
"Congratulations, young master. The answer to the riddle is exactly the character Yu."
"I guessed it right!"
"How did you guess this?"
"Why is it the word feather?"
Ruyi was also very curious and asked: "Ping'an, why is the word "feather"?
"Feathers and rain sound together, and Xixi is the sound of wind."
The onlookers were astonished, and one by one they asked which young master this was. He was not very young, but he was so powerful.
The final prize is nothing unusual, it is a fan.
Ruyi thought for a while and said seriously: "Ping An does have some abilities."
He spoke in a tone that sounded like an adult.
Chen Changsheng couldn't help but smile, Ruyi was always so cute.
The boss stopped Chen Changsheng at this time and said: "My little brother is also very knowledgeable. Why don't you leave a lantern riddle for my stall? If it is good, I can return all the money you just received."
