Fire trees and silver flowers are closed, and the iron locks of the star bridge are opened. The dark dust follows the horse, and the bright moon comes to each other.

All the wandering tricks are filled with plum blossoms, and all the singing is falling plum blossoms. Jinwu can't help but the night, and the jade leaks do not urge each other.

On all the festivals in the first lunar month, the only Chinese New Year is the only carnival that can be called the celebration of the whole world. On this day, from morning to night, there are crowds of people on the streets and alleys, and they are full of joy and pleasure from the beginning of the year.

Xu You sat in the pavilion of the rockery and played against An Yao. Regarding Go, it took thousands of years to develop from thirteen to nineteen. Although thirteen and fifteen go were found in tombs of the Tang Dynasty, seventeen were popular during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. By the Six Dynasties, nineteen began to emerge, and then to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, nineteen had already occupied the mainstream, and seventeen might only appear in remote areas.

The nineteen chess game in Chu State was also popular. Many scholars were obsessed with this method, which gave birth to many national players. Every time they talked, they "forget sleeping and food, and they were clear all day long, and they had no time to take care of each other when they were in the process."

There is not much difference between ancient Go and modern times, but there are still differences. For example, in ancient times, the squad system was adopted, that is, when playing, the four stars on the corner of the board were placed first, two black and white, similar to the layout of diagonal stars, limiting the advantage of the first move to the greatest extent. In addition, white first, black and then black chess is not attached to the image. The final piece is also ended, but the final part is not included in the score. In addition, most of the others are similar.

"Mr. Lang, you are exhausted!"

The chess game was in a stalemate, and the two sides fought fiercely at the corners, and Xu You's big dragon was in danger. But he ignored it and put another word on the middle abdomen. In this way, the black spell had four solitons in the middle abdomen.

An Yao hesitated. He couldn't see through Xu You's intentions and did not dare to slay the dragon rashly. Then he made a tentative bait. Xu You smiled slightly and said, "Don't eat bait soldiers!" Heizi used a subtle move and flew on the upper right. He actually responded to the four sons in his belly, and then pushed them one after another, digging, rushing, breaking, and growing. After ten hands, he completely split the white sons with the soliton in his belly, gaining an overwhelming advantage.

The defeat of Anyao is decided!

"Far away from the gaps and panics, and put them around to the surrounds, and win them with the Tao!" Xu You threw away the blackzi and smiled and said, "How?"

An Yao showed a slightly annoyed look and said, "I was fooled, I shouldn't be entangled with you in the middle of the belly! What is the way of playing with your husband?"

"Check!"

Xu You's chess skills are only amateur level. In his past life, he would play online with his spare time. He only played the game as he wanted, but he liked to play chess. He knew a little about many famous games throughout the ages. However, he lacked some talent and could not become a professional chess player, nor could he become a big player. However, in this era, the development and theory of Go were far behind, and many common playing styles and layouts in later generations did not appear. It was natural that he could not defeat An Yao in a small way.

"You think I'm exhausted, but this situation is not about fighting hard, but combining the battle situation between the four corners through planning the situation. If we look at it, you have the advantage in all corners, but once a siege is formed, it will be a downward trend. This is what I just said, "Distance away from the gap and siege, and put it in a siege."

Anyao fell into deep thought.

Xu You played with the elm wood and made chess pieces, which were as round as jade, and were smooth and smooth. He said: "The wonderful hand of life losing is to make the soft wood of the morning sun. Take Kun in all directions and ranks the general in the five mountains. The so-called nineteen roads are traversed, and there is no important game in the ages. It is enough to play chess and cultivate sentiments, but obsessed with it, which is unnecessary, and it is exhausting and indiscriminate, and it is only confusing!"

He threw away the chess piece, stood up with a clang, and said, "You have nothing to do at night, follow me to watch the lights?"

Anyao hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

In his life, he never visited the Lantern Festival.

At this moment, Lu Shuang came in from the courtyard gate, with a slightly unhappy expression. Xu You waved and said, "Lu Shuang, come!"

"Xiao Lang!" Lu Shuang looked up and saw Xu You with a pretty face, and walked quickly to the rockery, saying, "I said where I went early in the morning. It turned out that I was very interested in playing chess with An Yao here." She was smart and skilled in playing chess and calligraphy while in Qingle Tower. She lowered her head and glanced at the chessboard. The situation and the outcome were obvious, and she said in surprise: "I don't know how good Xiao Lang is at all."

"What good chess skills are? Chess is divided into nine grades. My level may not be available yet." Xu You smiled and said, "You came back from outside and seemed to be unhappy, but did you go to Su Tang?"

"Xiao Lang is really a god, you can guess this. But you definitely can't guess what Su Tang said to me."

"Oh?" Xu You broke a willow branch, put it on his nose and smelled it, and said, "I am not interested in guessing about what happened between you girls!"

Lu Shuang paused her feet unsteadily, and the few strands of black hair hanging on her cheeks moved without wind, and said coquettishly: "Xiao Lang!"

Since Anyao was destroyed by Chen Chan as a man or woman, and because of practicing the Qing Guilu, she has long had no feelings for the love between men and women in the world. However, looking at Lu Shuang in front of her, she still understands how much her frown and smile tempted the man, but Xu You took it indifferently, as if the beautiful woman with a vivid and fragrant color is not as charming as the willow branches in her hands.

This concentration alone is enough to make him look down on most of the men in the world who are controlled by desire!

"Okay, I guess!" Xu You thought for a moment and said, "Today on the Lantern Festival, you asked her to travel with her tonight, but she might have other important things, so she broke the appointment, right?"

Lu Shuang opened her mouth slightly and said for a while: "Xiaolang, you are such a living immortal!"

"I just said I am a god, but now I am saying that I am a living god. Could it be that the previous saying "I am a god" scolding me for the dead god?"

"How can I have such courage?" Lu Shuang chuckled and said, "But Xiao Lang was wrong. Su Tang first asked me for the Lantern Festival this time, saying that she would go with the winter solstice and the autumnal equinox. But she just invited me to go over and say that she could not go with me... As for why she couldn't, she didn't say it, but, but..."

Xu Youqi said: "But what, why are you talking so hard?"

"I'm afraid Xiaolang blames me for being too talkative..."

Xu You immediately understood and smiled and said, "You, if you involve Su Tang's private affairs, there is no need to mention it. She is a smart person and knows what she is doing. Besides, no matter what she does, it is her freedom. It has nothing to do with Jingyuan, you and me!"

Lu Shuang was still nervous, so how could she speak to Xu You about this, but she didn't seem to be chewing the tongue behind her back. After hearing his statement, she felt relieved and said, "Yes, I understand!"

Su Tang is just an outsider after all!

At night, He Ru also rushed back from Sajinfang. Everyone packed up and went to the lantern market happily. There are many sayings about the origin of lantern viewing on the Shangyuan Festival, but the more reliable one is that Emperor Ming of Han started with the lamp display. First, it was in the palace, then the Buddhist temple, and the capital, and then it was introduced to the people.

Chinese people are typical group animals, and they are flocking to join in the fun, so soon the Lantern Festival became a fixed custom every year and was widely popular among the common people.

Qiantang is no exception. Every family hangs lanterns, including gauze lanterns, chandeliers, palace lanterns, silk lanterns, sheep horn lanterns, rhinoceros horn lanterns, round, long, square or bird-shaped. Various patterns of landscape characters, flowers and birds are painted on the lanterns, just as the poem says, "Thousands of doors open the locks, tens of thousands of lanterns will move, and the imperial capital will move in the middle of the first lunar month." However, the one that moves tonight is not the imperial capital, but Qiantang City.

Xu You and his group of more than 20 people came to Nancheng Lantern City. This was originally a wide alley that was hundreds of meters long. Because there were many streams around, they were not afraid of fires. In addition, the terrain was flat and there were no high-rise buildings to cover it. Teahouses and taverns gathered, and their popularity was more prosperous than elsewhere, and gradually developed into the location of the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival.

Before I reached the entrance of Dengshi, I was almost unable to walk. Lushuang and the autumnal equinox snuggled against Xu You, pulling his sleeves, fearing that they were wrapped around. The Winter Solstice was the most bold, and walked side by side with Anyao, looking around and said, "This year seems to be more lively than in previous years. Look, the lamp tree is really colorful!"

Following the direction of her finger, a lamp tree more than ten feet tall was visible from afar. There were ribbon silk embroidery hanging on the tree, and there were many copper coins. When the wind blew, it rustled. The lamp jade was painted with tigers, leopards, eagles and horses, and it was leaping and neighing, lifelike.

The top of the tree is hung with a coiled dragon lamp, and the lamps and jade are rotating. The four freely Liu characters are eye-catching. Xu You smiled and said, "It's not that coincidental. It's Liu Yu's lamp, right?"

He Ru narrowed his eyes and said, "Tonight is a meeting of lights. Officials, scholars, wealthy families, and good people from all over the country are all traveling at night. The carriages and horses are full of people, so people are not allowed to take care of them. They drink and have fun and compete with each other. Liu Yu is a smart man, so he must take this opportunity to make a name for Jubaozhai. He took your secret medicine and thought he could also make big paper. He must be eager to win over some big customers who can afford the price. This lamp tree is the sycamore tree that attracts the phoenix!"

Zuo Qi shook his head and said, "Liu Qi forced the husband to hand over the secret medicine. He thought he was a plan. It was really stupid!"

Xu You smiled without saying a word, walked forward and said, "Let's go and see if such a good night will become more interesting!"

The singing bells are even darker in the night, and the silk and silk are filled with the fragrance of dust on the street.

This is a poem that Xu You loved very much in his previous life. On the Lantern Festival, it was the night of watching the lanterns, and it was also a good time for men and women to have a private meeting. On this night, the scholars and ladies walked out of the veils of the boudoir and went out together, laughing and laughing. They could even walk side by side with the man in the street, guessing riddles under the lamp for fun, so that even the dust on the street was fragrant.

In addition to the girls on the streets who are pleasing to the eye, there are many more interesting people. They wear animal faces, show off the market, or men wear women, and are radiant, not to mention those who advocate acrobatics and strange shapes, just like the popular drag dances abroad a thousand years later. At that time, young people were fashionable in foreign fashion, but they didn't know that thousands of years ago, these were the things that our ancestors played with.

Xu You has experienced many grand parties and many celebration occasions with unique charm, but he cannot help but admit that Qiantang City in front of him, from people to trees to lamps, is like a star-filled room, all of which are beautiful and incomparable. It is exquisite, prosperous and dazzling, and gathers the thoughts and auras of countless skilled craftsmen, and future generations are no longer able to meet.

Along the way, I saw that the inside and outside were all looking at each other, and I had never avoided each other. I crossed the road with high sheds, covered the clouds with wide curtains, removed the clothes and made up, filled the carriages and horses, and had delicious food, and gathered the silk and bamboo.

In Qiantang on the Lantern Festival, Xu You is willing to indulge in it and can’t linger!
