The old woman stepped forward and said, "Back to my lord, the old man is a hundred years old, and he is more than forty-one. Everyone was slightly surprised, it was not easy to live to such an old age.

Lord Shangshu also seemed to recognize this old woman, and said respectfully: "The old man is exempt, since the emperor ascended the throne, you have not fallen on the Lantern Festival every year, and it has been twenty years now. ”

The old woman smiled and said: "The old man has lived for a long time, and he has just experienced the emperors of the four dynasties of Dahua, and the sacrifices of this Lantern Festival have come hundreds of times. ”

Master Shangshu sighed: "It has been one hundred and forty-one years since the founding of the country, and you happen to be one hundred and forty-one years old, which happens to be the same age as my Dahua Dynasty. ”

The old woman said: "The old body knocks on God's grace!"

Master Shangshu turned around and said: "Presumably, the three of you have already made it clear at this time, the mystery is the age of the old man, please use a New Year's couplet to celebrate the old man, which of you is willing to try it first." ”

Xia Cainu was full of interest today, her snow-white and red goose egg face has been embellished with a light smile, and she immediately said: "The little girl is not talented, but she has come up with Shanglian - a reunion of the sixtieth century, adding three or seven years." ”

Song Xingling immediately opened his mouth and said: "Miss Xia's name as a talented woman is really worthy of her reputation, she came up with Shanglian in such a short time, Shanglian is just a mystery, and it has the meaning of the New Year, wonderful!"

Master Shangshu smiled and said: "This Shanglian is very good, the reunion of the sixtieth century is one hundred and twenty years old, plus thirty-seven years, it is exactly one hundred and forty-one years old." (Sixty years old)

Xia Cainu smiled lightly: "It's much easier to go up than down, the little woman is not talented, so she has to take advantage of it first, and I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Shangshu said: "Who came up with it?"

With Xia Cainu's upper link, but the lower link must not be too bad, everyone saw that this Lantern Festival was a little more interesting than in previous years, and couldn't help but get excited, different from the lively atmosphere of the surrounding people, Song Xingling was bowing his head and pondering, this time the riddle is different from previous years, not only guessing riddles, but also couplets, which have never been touched before.

While he was pondering, Shen Feng shouted here: "My young lady has come out, and the next link is Gu Xi Shuangqing, more spring and autumn." (Gu Xi is equivalent to 70 years old)

Lord Shangshu nodded after hearing this, immediately clapped his hands a few times, and laughed: "Wonderful, this next link happens to be one hundred and forty-one years old, and it is very neat, this lighting ceremony will be held by Miss Xia and Miss Lin, please come forward." ”

Miss Tang said happily: "We won—"

Song Xingling was defeated, and his face was not unhappy, but he came forward to congratulate him, reflecting his humble and elegant self-cultivation, which won the appreciation of many people.

Shen Feng also paid attention to him, and saw that his expression was flat, which showed that this person had a good spirit, and he didn't care about temporary gains and losses, but this kind of person was much trickier to deal with than Du Qingshan, but this time he didn't think he would take it to heart.

After guessing the riddles, there was some red tape, so I simply said goodbye to the two girls, and slipped to the back of the crowd to chat with other people's maids.

After a while, Xia Yanran also walked over, enthusiastically held Lin Kelan's hand, and smiled: "It turned out to be Miss Lin, I didn't look carefully, when did Miss Lin come to the capital." ”

Lin Kelan chuckled: "I only arrived in the capital a few days ago, and today I am entangled in housework, so I didn't come to visit, and I hope Miss Xia won't be surprised." ”

Xia Yanran said happily: "Where is this, when I was in Shengzhou that day, Miss Lin treated me as a guest, and this time it should be Yanran who came to thank her, and Miss Lin is quick-witted, so that Yanran is willing to bow down, and Yanran also wants to take this opportunity to ask you for advice." ”

Knowing that this was not his own guess, but he insisted on admitting it, it was really embarrassing, for a while Lin Kelan was at a loss and embarrassed, Miss Tang was innocent by nature, and she didn't have this consciousness at all, and said happily: "Of course, Sister Lin guessed a lot of riddles correctly in front." ”

Xia Yanran saw that it was an innocent and lovely beautiful girl who spoke, and she was liked by just one glance, and couldn't help asking, "This is—"

Miss Tang was thinking about it and didn't want to be recognized, so her eyes turned strangely: "My name is Xiaoxue, our young lady's maid." ”

Xia Yanran has excellent eyesight, seeing that her temperament is out of the dust, like a little elf in the world, how can she be someone else's maid, she guessed her mind after consideration, but she didn't break it, she smiled, turned a few glances, and asked: "Isn't there another person beside you just now, why don't you see him at this moment." ”

Xia Cainu seemed to be very concerned about that guy, should she have been provoked, Lin Kelan could only sigh in her heart, and said with a smile: "I'll let him wait for us elsewhere."

Seeing Lin Kelan, Xia Yanran guessed that the strange man with the mustache was Shen Feng, imagining his appearance with a fake beard, she couldn't help but laugh coquettishly: "Listen to that living baby of your family, the Lin family has woven some new clothes today, and it has made a lot of trouble in Shengzhou, and even the capital has heard of it from time to time." ”

Lin Kelan blushed and said: "He's not a living baby, it's almost annoying, he also came up with these new clothes, has Miss Xia ever seen it?"

Xia Yanran sneered and said: "I haven't seen it yet, but I've heard a lot of praise, and I'm very curious, I want to come to see it one day, I don't know if it's okay?"

Lin Kelan chuckled, "Welcome!"

Brother Jun on the side was secretly strange, he didn't understand why she, who had always been arrogant, was so interested in a subordinate, and it seemed that she still knew that person, and she was about to knock on the side, but she heard a decent shout.

"The emperor has arrived—"

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live—"

At this time, the current emperor of Dahua walked down from Qiuxiantai with a group of people, and the people knelt down one after another, and the emperor stood in front of the ten thousand people, rolled up his sleeves and said: "Let's be flat!" is just a gesture and a sentence, it exudes the innate style of the emperor's family.

"Emperor Xie—"

The emperor walked up to Xia Yanran and laughed loudly: "This time, it was Xia Yatou who won the crown, it seems that I gave you the name of a talented woman at the beginning." ”

Xia Yanran bent down and said respectfully: "I dare not take the name of a talented woman, if I think that I am not as good as Miss Lin in terms of talent, she will be impressed by Yanran." ”

Lin Kelan was at the feet of the Son of Heaven at this time, and she was sincerely frightened, she couldn't help but annoy the kid, and pushed her forward, but she slipped away, and the emperor turned his eyes to her and asked, "You are Miss Lin?"

Feeling a majestic and heavy aura, Lin Kelan had some difficulty breathing, and she didn't even dare to raise her head, and knelt down and said, "Lin Kelan, the daughter of the people, greets the emperor!"

The people around knew that her name was Lin Kelan, and seeing that she was not only good-looking, but also equal to Xia Cainu, the crowd suddenly made a commotion, and overnight, the Lin family and Lin Kelan made a big noise overnight.

"Flatten, don't be polite!" The emperor saw that her silhouette was somewhat similar, the dragon's body was shocked, and he said, "You raise your head and let me see." ”

"Yes!" Lin Kelan raised her head as she said.

When the emperor saw her appearance, he was shocked, and his dragon eyes shot out several complicated rays of light, and asked, "Ling Tang is a businessman in Hangzhou, is your mother Miss Shi?"

The emperor asked two questions in a row, which made Lin Kelan surprised for a while, and she didn't react, the emperor's old face showed a sense of nostalgia, and sighed: "I didn't expect to meet the old people here, it's been more than 20 years in a flash, and her daughters have grown so big——"

The emperor fell into a long remembrance, his expression became more and more depressed, and everyone was silent, not daring to disturb him, and after a long time, he sighed: "You really look like her!"

Lin Kelan asked cautiously: "What the emperor said is my mother?"

The emperor sighed embarrassedly, and asked instead of answering: "Is your mother still in Hangzhou all these years?"

When Lin Kelan saw the emperor for the first time, she didn't dare to take a breath more, and said in a calm tone: "My mother has always lived in Hangzhou, and sometimes in Shengzhou. ”

The emperor's face flushed, and he said hurriedly: "Miss Shi has been okay in recent years?"

Lin Kelan said respectfully: "Thanks to the emperor's blessings, everything is fine with my mother." ”

The emperor's expression suddenly appeared with a look of grief, and he sighed to himself: "I didn't take good care of Qing'er, I'm sorry Qing'er-"

Lin Kelan didn't know what he was talking about, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, you-"

The emperor waved his hand, the depression on his face faded a little, and said loudly: "Since you are an old man, it is only suitable for you and Xia Yatou to light the dragon lantern for me." ”

Xia Yanran and Lin Kelan thanked in unison: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!"

Several people followed the emperor to the huge boat, Xia Lin and the two women walked up to the boat with a fire stick, the dragon lantern on the boat began to light from the dragon's head, just when a golden dragon was all lit, a rocket suddenly shot at the dragon lantern, and the dragon lantern was burned out in an instant.

"Dog Emperor, come here!"

When the dragon lantern was lit, a group of people suddenly descended from the sky, each dressed in a night robe, each armed with a sharp blade, and the target of their assassination was none other than the current emperor.

"There are assassins!Protect the Emperor!!"

The crowd panicked as the Assassin shouted, and the guards reacted quickly and immediately surrounded the Emperor.

The assassins were so skilled that they killed seven or eight guards in an instant, and the swords and swords flashed down, even one or two concubines next to them.

Shen Feng was originally behind the crowd, but when he saw the crowd rushing back, he hurriedly grabbed a person and asked, "What's going on?"

"There are assassins who assassinate the emperor, killing many people at once, it's important to run for your life quickly!"

Hearing that there was an assassin, he thought that Miss Tang and Miss Lan were also by the emperor's side, and his heart suddenly became anxious, and he hurriedly pushed away the crowd and looked for him.

"Miss, Miss Lan—" shouted as she pushed through the crowd and squeezed in.

There were still several corpses lying on the ground, some were killed by assassins, others were trampled to death, Shen Feng was anxious for a while, and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
