Chapter 653: The Winter Festival

The New Year's Eve in Danzhou is not called the Spring Festival, and it has nothing to do with the farming season.

Instead, it is called the "Han Festival".

But the essence is the same. They both mean that the cold is about to pass in the year, the spring is warm, the flowers are blooming, and the heaven and earth are revived.

There is also a legend that in the long, long time ago of the ancient ancestors, extreme cold suddenly occurred and the Danzhou continent was frozen for nine hundred years. As a result, all life was devastated and all things were extinct.

Later, the true sun god came to the Danzhou continent with nine golden crows. The golden crows flew around the Danzhou continent, spreading the true fire of the sun and melting the ice caps, and the continent revived.

In order to commemorate the true god of the sun, the ancient ancestors named the day when the true god came as Chuhan Festival.

As for whether a true god really came during that time, or whether the rules of heaven were simply changed in some way, it is impossible to verify.

But it is true that the weather will start to warm up from the day of the Cold Festival.

Lin'an City is very lively during the Winter Festival, but for Qin He, it lacks a bit of New Year's flavor.

It’s not delicious food, not popularity, and not a dazzling array of goods, but smoke.

There is no gunpowder in this world.

So there were no firecrackers, let alone fireworks.

The protagonist of the Winter Festival is the lamp.

Various lanterns.

Three days before and after the Winter Festival, the government will send city guards and martial arts students to patrol the night to try to ensure the safety of Lin'an City at night.

Under the bright lights like a sea of ​​stars, residents in the city rarely dare to go out at night to enjoy flower lanterns, watch flower boats, and go to lantern festivals, which is very lively.

The major hospitals are full of tricks, and the winter festival every year is also a good time for the hospitals to compete with each other.

Whoever wins the prize will be guaranteed to be popular for the next year.

As for the three top-notch academies in the capital: Cuiqinglou, Rouge Hall and Yixiangyuan, they are working hard to compete with each other.

People compete for a breath, Buddha competes for a stick of incense.

The ranking of the second year of Beijing First Grade depends on these three days. Although the competition is held remotely, it is still a head-to-head competition.

Cuiqinglou just got some fairy flowers scattered upstairs.

Rouge Hall then arranged a fairy in front of the door to spread the wealth.

The next day, Cuiqinglou put up a hundred lanterns to look beautiful.

Yixiangyuan followed the trend and immediately produced an oiran with thousands of lights.

Cai Linglong, the old madam of Cuiqinglou, was furious. Whatever she did, Yixiangyuan and Yanzhitang followed suit, and the scene became even bigger.

This makes it clear that they want to join forces to destroy their own green building.

Cai Linglong gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, and under Wei Wu's suggestion, she came up with something like: Phoenix Dance for Nine Days - Oiran Parade!

Courtesans from Cuiqing Tower boarded floats and paraded throughout the city.

Good guy, that was a sensation in the whole city.

On weekdays, it would cost a lot of money to buy a portrait of an oiran who is a top-ranking oiran in the capital, let alone look at it and keep it privately.

Oiran parades are just around the corner.

Take a look and smell it, you are saving money.

In order to prevent being imitated and surpassed, Cai Linglong even used her own hidden trump card.

At the front of the float, the newcomers clear the way.

Huan Qingwu is dressed in tulle, looming, with her face covered. Even if she is just standing, she is charming all living beings and has become the focus of the entire float team.

Wei Wu was dressed in gorgeous brocade clothes, standing to the side indistinguishably male and female, his smiling face a little stiff.

He originally came up with the idea to look for opportunities to go out. At the worst, he could transfer Cui Linglong and the nursing home. Who never expected that Cai Linglong would let him go too.

Applying makeup and powder, all the old face has been lost.

He didn't dare not laugh, because Cai Linglong was also on the float. Next to the float, almost all the thugs from Cuiqinglou's nursing home were dispatched.

In the slightly cold wind, Wei Wu's ten thousand words "Your family is well and well" flashed across the screen.



"Haha~"

"Haha!"

On the other side of Lincheng City, Qin He, who was bored while walking on the street, sneezed twice and sniffed.

For him, there are no firecrackers and fireworks, and there are also activities held in major institutions, and there are no singing songs. The flavor of the New Year is somewhat dull, and there is no place to go.

"Sir, why don't we go to the lantern festival? It will definitely be lively there." Ma Feimo suggested with hope.

Qin He glanced at it and said nothing.

This unreliable guy almost burned down the house last night.

I remember when Wang Tiezhu was here, nothing like this happened.

You have to throw it away when comparing things~

Seeing that Qin He was silent, Ma Fei shrank his neck and did not dare to speak.

Six corpses were burned to the rafters, one was exploded, and a crematorium collapsed due to overheating.

Now, it feels very guilty.

However, Qin He didn't say anything, but still walked in that direction.

Now that we are here, let’s put on lanterns and do as the Romans do when in the countryside.

After a while, Qin He led Ma Fei to the bank of Qushui River.

The water in the canal is drawn from the Ji River and passes through the city. It is the main moat canal of the two cities inside and outside Lin'an City.

Although it is needed to protect the city, its water surface is extremely wide, no worse than the big rivers.

Countless painted boats with hanging lights float on the water, complementing the lights on both sides of the bank, shining like stars.

However, at this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew from the river, stirring up a cloud of dust and causing many nearby lights to sway.

Many vendors displaying lamps hurriedly protected their lamps for fear of catching fire.

Fortunately, the cold wind came and went quickly, and it soon calmed down.

But...Qin He not only didn't feel the cold, but the hair all over his body stood on end, and his chicken skin rose and fell.

There was a glint in his eyes and he looked into the distance.

I saw countless blood-red lanterns rising above the sea of ​​stars, and the originally brilliant "sea of ​​stars" instantly became eerie.

"Sir, what's wrong?" Ma Fei asked suspiciously when he saw Qin He suddenly stood still.
