Yingxiang Pond is surrounded by men and women, reciting Amitabha Buddha devoutly.
Li Xin stood behind Li Tong and watched the great monk of Qingkong release the old turtle red carp selected in advance into the Yingxiang Pond, and the red carp slashed its tail violently, splashing the water Lao Gao, and swam away in horror, and the old turtle sank headlong.
Li Xin smiled when he saw it, "This is called merit" "The merit is there."
Li Tong pointed to a circle of marquees opposite them, and under the marquee, there were many people around several monks.
"This release festival is said to be held from the hands of the great monk of the green sky, and I heard Master Wuzhi say that the great monk of the green sky pities the poor peasants when they are poor and poor when they are not able to receive their food, and they release them here every year on the Shangyuan Festival, raise donations, and buy coarse grains to give alms along the village."
"This is a real release, and the merit is immeasurable."
Li Xin sighed, saw Ning Hai trotting back from the direction of the marquee, turned his head to look at Li Tong and said with a smile: "I'll go back with you."
"Okay."
Li Tongzheng turned his head to look around with some excitement.
She hadn't been to this Yingxiang Pond for years.
In the past, when Ah Niang was there, she came to see the release festival and alms silver with Ah Niang every year, and then Ah Niang was gone, and she never came to see the Yingxiang Pond release puja again, even in the area of Yingxiang Pond, she almost never came again.
She almost forgot about the bustle and bustle of Yingxiang Pond.
"It's all lively like this now, what kind of excitement did it have to be in previous years" Li Xin looked at the surroundings full of lights and voices, and sighed with emotion.
Ning Hai laughed when he heard Li Xin's emotion, "Uncle, in previous years, it was not much more lively than this time, almost." ” Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, this is a relative or Yu Bei, and others have also sang.
Li Tong's memory of the Yingxiang Pond area has long been distant and blurred, Li Xin is the first time to see the Yingxiang Pond on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the two brothers and sisters see everything strangely, stop and go, and look at things more than when they walk.
Large and small shop doors, are hung with all kinds of carefully prepared lanterns, most of the lanterns are hung under a few lantern riddles, guess the color head, also some hang a few up, the upper and lower links also have color heads, often a lantern down, hang several down, from time to time around a few people, comment which one is the most appropriate.
There are only two months from the spring festival, and most of the people who take the exam have arrived, and they are in groups of three or five, wandering around Yingxiang Pond to see the excitement.
Li Tong and Li Xin walked all the way to see, saw the strange and beautiful lanterns, Li Tong stopped to take a closer look, Li Xin stood behind her with his hands behind his back, blocking the weaving of pedestrians for her, and when she was optimistic, he encountered a few more lower links, or a lantern that was not posted out of the lower link, Li Xin stopped and savored it, Li Tong stood next to him, and also read those lower links.
After walking for most of the street, the two of them stood in front of a lantern that was much larger than the other house and hung with more than ten or twenty lower couplets.
Ji Shuying wore a silver-white thin silk robe, a silver-white silk white fox cloak, and two small servants, walking down the river in the weaving flow of people, looking around as they walked.
In the distance, Ji Shuying's gaze fell on the cloaks, one tall and one short, although they were the same silver-white, but they were particularly conspicuous in the crowd, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled a group of people forward.
The two little guys were stunned and hurriedly ran a few steps to keep up, one rushing through the crowd in front and the other behind.
Ji Shuying's eyes were fixed on the pretty cloak that flashed silver light between actions, and rushed forward in a hurry, rushing to the side of the two cloaks, and there was already a dense layer of fine sweat on his body.
"Da Lang" Ji Shuying gasped slightly.
Li Xin hurriedly turned around, Li Tong also turned his head to look over, Ji Shuying looked at Li Xin, but the corner of his eye looked at Li Tong's smile clearly, "It looks familiar from a distance, it's really Da Lang, this is Sister Ling" Ji Shuying asked, and without waiting for Li Xin to answer, she bowed her hand at Li Tong, raised her head, swept her eyes over Li Tong, and hurriedly moved away, Li Tong returned the salute with a smile.
"You're alone" Li Xin looked at it and asked casually, "Didn't you come with Lu Dalang" Ji Shuying was under Li Tong's gaze, feeling uncomfortable, "I just walked around casually, I didn't expect Yingxiang Pool to be so lively today." ” "But no, my sister and I talked about this just now, I heard that when the Queen Mother passed away last time, after the release ceremony here, there was no one left."
Li Xin motioned for Ji Shuying to move forward, and while talking, he kept looking at Li Tong's side, and from time to time he reached out in front of Li Tong to block the crowd that had actually been blocked by Ning Hai and others.
"It is said that Ning Niangniang asked for a will from the emperor to pray for Zhou Niangniang's blessings in the next life at today's release ceremony.
Almost everyone came, and some of them went back after the release puja.
Ji Shuying spoke casually, and subconsciously looked over, as if he was just following Li Xin's gaze.
"No wonder."
Li Xin suddenly smiled and said, Li Tong listened to Ji Shuying's words, and immediately thought of the eldest princess, I don't know if she has visited the Yingxiang Pool of the Shangyuan Festival.
Ji Shuying's gaze went from bottom to top, from the silver silk bat osmanthus embroidered on the silver white cloak upwards, and saw the beautiful chin on the cloak, he didn't dare to look up again, and then look a little bit more.
At the end of the street, the open space, which was still very sparse when I came just now, was already crowded with jugglers and selling all kinds of small things, and the bustle was a little unbearable.
"Go over and take a look" Li Xin looked at Li Tong and asked, Li Tong nodded hurriedly, how many years had she not seen such a bustle Coming out of the bright lights on both sides of the long street, in the dark, Ji Shuying breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, looking at Li Xin, looking boldly, looking at the smile on Li Tong's face and the shining eyes, like fireworks blooming in front of him.
"Brother Li, Brother Ji" Ning Yuan didn't know where he came from, and patted Li Xin and Ji Shuying on the shoulders one by one, "What a coincidence, you guys also come out to shop and can't write" Li Xin was okay, Ji Shuying was slanted down by his shoulder.
"There is Zhang Youchi, but you can't always write."
Ji Shuying replied angrily.
"That's what I'm saying" Ning Yuan pushed the two of them away from both sides, squeezed them from the middle, and threw his hand at Li Tong, "Miss Li is here too, I'm bored walking alone, just right, let's go together" said, took a step to the side, stood on the other side of Li Tong, and pointed forward with his hand, "It's lively in front, where is it lively, let's go" "The Seventh Master is really good Yaxing" Ji Shuying was even more angry, how could he meet such a bad person, he didn't go to the Red Mansion fat powder pile, how did he come here and come, and bumped into them, it's really unlucky:
