The Yingxiang Pool is surrounded by men and women who believe in men and good people, and they recite Amitabha Buddha devoutly.

Li Xin stood behind Li Tong and watched the Qingkong monk release the old turtle red carp he had picked in advance into Yingxiang Pool. The red carp slashed his tail and splashed the water into Lao Gao, wandering away in horror, while the old turtle sank.

Li Xin laughed at it, "Is this called merit?"

"Where is the merit?" Li Tong pointed at a circle of lanterns opposite them. Under the lantern, many people were surrounded by monks. "This animal release ceremony was said to be held from the Great Monk Qingkong. Master Wuzhi said that the Great Monk Qingkong was pity for the poor peasants when they were not in charge of the green and yellow peasants. Every year on the Yuan Dynasty, they released animals here, raised charity money, and bought coarse grains to give alms along the village."

"This is the real release of animals, and the merits are immeasurable." Li Xin sighed, and saw Ning Hai jogging back from the direction of the lantern, turned to look at Li Tong and smiled, "I'll take a walk with you before going back?"

"Okay." Li Tong turned around and looked around with some excitement.

She hadn't been here in Yingxiang Pond for many years. When Ah Mom was there, she would visit the releasing ceremony with her every year and give alms. Later, Ah Mom was gone, and she never visited the releasing ceremony of Yingxiang Pond again. Even the area of ​​Yingxiang Pond had never been here again.

She almost forgot the bustling and prosperous Yingxiang Pool.

"It's so lively now. How was it so lively in previous years?" Li Xin looked at the colorful lights and the crowds of people, and felt deeply moved.

Ning Hai smiled when he heard Li Xin's feelings, "Uncle, the past years have been much more lively than this time, almost the same."

Li Xin was stunned and then laughed. This is the sadness of relatives or other people, and others have already sang.

Li Tong's memory of Yingxiangchi area has long been far away and blurred. This is the first time Li Xin has seen Yingxiangchi on the Lantern Festival. The brother and sister are strange in everything, and they walk around and stop. They look at things more often than they walk.

There are all kinds of carefully prepared lanterns hanging at the doors of shops of all sizes. Most of them have a few riddles under them. If you guess it, you will have a lottery head. Some have a few top couplets, and there are also a lottery head for the upper and lower couplets. Often, under one lantern, there are several lower couplets hanging, and several people will hang from time to time to comment on which one is the most appropriate one.

There are only two months before the spring exam, and most of the juren who took the exam in various places have arrived, stalking in groups of three or five in Yingxiang Pool to watch the fun.

Li Tong and Li Xin walked all the way and saw the strange and beautiful lanterns. Li Tong stopped and looked carefully. Li Xin stood behind her with his hands behind his back, blocking the weaving pedestrians for her. When she saw that she had posted a few more lower couplets or a lantern that had not been posted on the lower couplets, Li Xin stopped and savored them carefully. Li Tong stood beside him and recited them again.

After walking around the street, the two of them stood in front of a lantern that was much bigger than other families and hung up more than a dozen or twenty lower couplets. Li Xingang reached out and turned over the upper couplet to read it, and then went to look at the lower couplet one by one.

Ji Shuying wore a silver-white thin silk robe, and a silver-white silk-faced white fox cloak outside. She took two servants and walked along the river among the weaving crowds, looking around as she walked.

In the distance, Ji Shuying's eyes fell on two pieces, one tall and one short, although they were the same silver-white, but they were particularly conspicuous among the crowd. When his eyes lit up, he hurriedly drove a crowd forward.

The two servants were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly ran a few steps to follow, one rushed out of the crowd in front and the other behind.

Ji Shuying stared at the pretty cloak with silver light flashing in the action, rushed forward as anxiously, rushed to the next two cloaks, with a dense layer of sweat on her body.

"Da Lang?" Ji Shuying gasped slightly.

Li Xin hurriedly turned around, and Li Tong also turned to look over. Ji Shuying looked at Li Xin, but from the corner of her eyes, she looked at Li Tong's smile clearly, "It looks familiar from a distance. It's really Dalang, is this Ling Mei?"

Ji Shuying asked, and before Li Xin could answer, she bowed to Li Tong, raised her head, glanced at Li Tong, and then hurriedly moved away. Li Tong smiled and replied.

"Are you alone?" Li Xin looked at it and asked casually, "Didn't you come with Lu Dalang?"

Ji Shuying was restrained and uncomfortable in Li Tong's gaze. "I just wandered around casually, but I didn't expect Yingxiangchi to be so lively today."

"No, my sister and I just talked about this. I heard that when the Empress Dowager passed away last time, there was no one after the release ceremony here." Li Xin signaled Ji Shuying to walk forward, and while talking, he kept aiming at Li Tong, and from time to time he reached out to Li Tong to block the crowd that had actually been blocked by Ning Hai and others.

"It is said that Empress Ning asked for an order from the emperor to pray for the blessings of the next life for Empress Zhou at today's release ceremony. Almost everyone has come, and some of them have returned after the release ceremony." Ji Shuying said casually, subconsciously glanced over, as if he was just following Li Xin's gaze.

"No wonder." Li Xin smiled suddenly. Li Tong listened to Ji Shuying's words and immediately thought of the eldest princess. He didn't know if she had visited Yingxiang Pool, which had been on the Lantern Festival.

Ji Shuying's eyes went from bottom to top, from the silver-wire bat osmanthus embroidered on the silver-white cloak, seeing the cloak with a beautiful chin, she didn't dare to look up any further, and looked down a little bit.

As the street ended, the open space that was still very sparse when we arrived just now was crowded with juggling and selling all kinds of small things, which was a bit lively.

"Go and take a look?" Li Xin asked at Li Tong. Li Tong nodded quickly. How many years have she not seen such a lively life?

Coming out from the bright lights on both sides of the long street, Ji Shuying breathed inexplicably in the darkness, and looked through Li Xin with courage, 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 jumped out of nowhere and slapped Li Xin and Ji Shuying on the shoulders with one hand, "What a coincidence, are you here to go shopping too? Can't you write anymore?"

Li Xin was fine, but Ji Shuying was patted by him and his shoulder was tilted down and lowered.

"With Zhang Youchi, you can't always know how to write." Ji Shuying answered angrily.

"That's what you said!" Ning Yuan pushed the two of them away, squeezed in from the middle, and bowed to Li Tong, "Miss Li is here too. I'm bored walking alone, just so let's go together!" As he said that, he took a step to the side, stood on the other side of Li Tong, and pointed his hand forward, "There is a lively place in front, wherever we are lively!"
