It is the creed that Lin Nan has always respected to be happy in life, but after being happy, he naturally can't keep being so playful. Although the Sui army captured Jiankang, it was not determined to unify the north and the south, and although Lord Chen was mediocre, his subordinates were still full of loyal people for the country.

In order to cut off the troubles, Yu Wensu personally led the army south to expand the results. At the beginning of February, Yu Wensu, Xue Guan, and Liu Renen led an army to attack Xiangzhou, and the Sui army defeated Chen Xiangzhou, who went out of the city to meet the battle, assisted in defending Chen Zhengli, the Marquis of Suixing, and Fan Tongjun, Xue Zhou and others took advantage of the victory to enter the city and capture Chen Shushen, the king of Chen Zhennan. Liu Rensijun broke Wu Juye in Hengqiao again, captured Wu Juye and so on. The pacification of Xiangzhou and other places prepared an advance base for the Sui to march into Lingnan, so Lin Nan played Yuwen Su into the Jue Yingguo Gong, 3,000 households in Yi, and 1,000 households in Changshou County. With his son Yu Wenxuan as the same instrument, the award is the prince of Qinghe County. Gifted 10,000 pieces, Su Wanshi, plus gold treasures, and gave Chen Zhumei and 64 female dependents, Yuwensu was grateful to Dade, and his relationship with Lin Nan also improved.

And these are not enough, Lin Nan knows that now that his wings are not sealed, he should take the opportunity to make more friends with foreign officials, so as to fight against the king of Yan, the king of Chu and others, so he decided to meet more local officials.

……

In the beginning of spring in March, the scenery is infinite, the world is full of life, occasionally a light breeze blows, although it is still slightly chilly, but compared with the winter is a different scene. Lin Nan and Dong Zhaoyi strolled along the Surabaya River outside Jiankang City, and couldn't help but feel comfortable.

"Your Highness, the early spring is cold, and you are wearing thin clothes, let's go back. Dong Zhaoyi's eyes were full of concern, and she could see that it was very different from that day.

"It's okay, I need to be sober. Lin Nan took her hand and smiled softly.

Dong Zhaoyi leaned over faintly and said softly: "Your Highness has slept very late these days, and I think I have to work hard to come." ”

Lin Nan saw that the atmosphere was getting more and more silent, his eyes rolled, and he pinched her little face. "If I could, I'd be willing to fly away with my lovely son. ”

"Your Highness. Dong Zhaoyi's eyes were lowered, her face was red, but her heart was very sweet, and then she suddenly heard Lin Nan say in surprise: "Huh, what are those people in front of you doing?"

"En?" Dong Zhaoyi looked for prestige, and sure enough, he saw four or five middle-aged men under a thick willow tree in front of him... ℉dǐng… ℉diǎn… °F small... °F says, .+.≯os_(); The child gathered around a square table. Looking at the way they pointed at each other, it seemed that they were arguing about something. They seemed to be arguing about something. ”

"Well, let's go over and have a look. Lin Nan pulled Dong Zhaoyi and walked forward quickly.

It wasn't until the two of them got closer that they saw that there were pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table, as well as some scattered papers, some of which were neatly written on them.

"You should use a reminder, I feel that the reminder is good. ”

"No, the artistic conception of urging words is not deep, I feel that it is better to use thick words. ”

"No, no, no, you should use clear ......"

The two listened as the group of people argued. A little confused, at this time Dong Zhaoyi took a piece of paper with words on the table. A middle-aged man who looked like a scholar immediately shouted: "Don't move, that's our new poem." Dong Zhaoyi was busy with the poem manuscript, and his face was inevitably a little stupid.

When Lin Nan saw it, his face suddenly changed, and he snorted: "Since it's a poem, can't you read it to others?"

The man looked Lin Nan up and down, and saw that he was well-dressed and had an extraordinary appearance, so he couldn't help but have more scruples. He waved his hand and said, "Look, look." ”

"Hmph!" Lin Nan

"It's also called poetry, it's bullshit. Lin Nan threw away the poem manuscript. His face was full of disdain.

The few people who were arguing all turned their heads when they heard Lin Nan's words, and one of them, a slightly older, silver-haired old man smiled at the short scholar next to him and said, "Brother Zitan's masterpiece is nothing more than that. ”

The short scholar couldn't hold back a little when he heard this, so he glared at Lin Nan and said, "Your Excellency is speaking dirty. I am not afraid of insulting the name of scholars. ”

Lin Nan smiled coldly and said: "Ququ is not talented, and he can't be a scholar, but when it comes to making poetry, I'm afraid it's better than you." ”

"You!" The man's face was angry, and the silver-haired old man next to him also felt that Lin Nan was arrogant, so he took a step forward and said, "Since Your Excellency said so, why don't you give a good sentence or two to appreciate." ”

Lin Nan knew that this group of people wanted to make a fool of themselves, and laughed secretly in his heart: "I have more than a thousand years of knowledge than you, and I can convince you by just taking a poem." Dong Zhaoyi, who was next to him, saw that Lin Nan didn't speak, thinking that he couldn't do it, so he gently pulled him and said, "Your Highness, let's go." ”

Lin Nan had already come up with a poem, so he ignored her, and opened his mouth to say: "The jasper is made into a tree high, and ten thousand green silk ribbons hang down, I don't know who cut out the thin leaves, and the second is like scissors." ”

"Okay!" Several scholars couldn't help but praise, and the silver-haired old man waved his hand and said: "We don't know Mount Tai if we have eyes, and we are offended by the right talents." ”

Lin Nan fought for face, didn't reply to him, and pulled Dong Zhaoyi to walk forward with a smile.

After a few days, Lin Nan appeased Chen Min on the one hand, and was busy writing to the imperial court to reduce taxes for Jiangnan, so the schedule was very tight.

It was almost night, and Lin Nan had just finished resting in the palace after opening the warehouse and releasing grain, when a delicate beauty ran in without a report, threw herself into Lin Nan's arms and said, "Your Highness, you haven't come to see me for a few days, and the concubine thinks about you." Lin Nan saw that the person who came was Yuzhi, and then remembered that he hadn't seen her for some days, so he sat up with her and said softly: "I haven't been idle these days, so I snubbed my sister, don't mind." ”

When Yuzhi heard the words of her sister, she liked it in her heart, and said coquettishly: "Your Highness is busy with state affairs, so naturally you have to let go of your children's personal feelings, but today is March 13, so you should be able to rest for a day." ”

"March 13?" Lin Nan listened to this day, he didn't know what was special, Yuzhi said with a small mouth: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, His Royal Highness said that he would accompany him to enjoy the lanterns, why did he forget it?" Lin Nan patted his head and said with a smile: "I really forgot." Yuzhi pretended to be angry and said, "How can Your Highness not count when you speak." Lin Nan saw a beauty like this. He pulled her and said, "Let's go now." Yuzhi smiled when he heard this, and the two held hands and walked out of the palace.

Although it has just gone through the baptism of war, there is no dilapidated scene in Jiankang City, especially in this Shangyuan Festival, the whole city is full of dazzling lanterns and people passing by.

"It's so lively. Yuzhi rarely goes out of the palace, and the lantern appreciation is even more experienced, so he naturally feels very curious about the rows of lanterns. Lin Nan naturally hadn't seen it either, but he wasn't very interested in these things, so he just followed Yuzhi to take a look and didn't care very much.

"Your Highness. What's written on that?" Yuzhi suddenly pointed to the dazzling array of lamps on both sides, and saw that each different lantern had a note of different colors pasted on it, and the note had words written on it. Needless to say, he knew what it was, so Lin Nan replied with a smile: "That's a lantern riddle, for people to guess and play." ”

"Oh? Yuzhi looked up at a lamp above, and saw that the note read: Today's autumn is over, take a medicine.

This is a very simple lantern riddle, Lin Nan didn't even have to think about it, and replied casually: "It's tomorrow winter." ”

"Oh. What about this one. Yuzhi pointed to a three-flower lamp next to him, only to see that it was written: eyebrows and eyebrows to cause trouble. Typing.

Although this is more difficult than the one just now, it is not enough to stump Lin Nan. "It's a phonetic word. ”

After guessing a few, Yuzhi was enough, so he pulled up Lin Nan and said, "Let's go over there and have a look." ”

Lin Nan followed her temperament to look here and there, and before she knew it, she was in front of an arched bridge. I saw that all the people had arched the bridge and walked against the side of the bridge one by one, leaving all the middle of the bridge behind.

"What do they mean by that?" Yuzhi raised his eyes and looked at Lin Nan. "It's called 'scattering all kinds of diseases,' and it is said that walking close to the bridge can ward off evil spirits and prevent all diseases. ”

"Is it really accurate?" asked Yuzhi blankly. Lin Nan looked at her delicate appearance. I couldn't help but smile and said: "Confucius said: I don't know life, I don't know death, life is impermanent, and I can't get sick What does it have to do with these." Yuzhi listened to it, but she was still skeptical. Lin Nan knew her thoughts, so he pulled her to the bridge and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if he is allowed or not, as long as you like it." Yuzhi's cheeks were red when he said this, and his heart was sweet.

After crossing the bridge, I walked out of the street. Yuzhi's enthusiasm has not diminished at all, but Lin Nan is impatient, and sighs in his heart: "I can't imagine that women from ancient times to the present day love shopping so much." ”

"File!" A gong sounded in his ears, and Lin Nan raised his head and hurriedly looked forward. I saw a lot of people gathered in front of a two-story embroidery building not far away, and there were more than a dozen young women standing upstairs, each carrying a lantern in their hands, which looked very conspicuous.

"Let's go and see the excitement. Lin Nan said while pulling Yuzhi towards the embroidery building, only to hear three gongs in front of the building, out of the building out of a purple-gray robe, who seemed to be a businessman, arched his hand to the surrounding people and said: "Today coincides with the Shangyuan Festival, Gu is not talented, the twelve lights of the special zodiac of the special society, but anyone who can solve all the mysteries on the twelve lanterns, Gu will give two hundred taels of silver, and will never break his promise." ”

"Two hundred taels!" Most of the onlookers were dumbfounded when they heard this number, because they knew that even if they could offer such a high price, the riddle must not be simple.

"Your Highness, let's go. Yuzhi lost interest in silver and lantern riddles, so she simply didn't bother to watch it, but Lin Nan felt that there was something else wrong with this matter, so she grabbed her and said, "I'll try it, it's not too late to go." ”

"Yes. Although Yuzhi was unwilling, he didn't dare to brush his mind, so he could only stand obediently and watch Lin Nan walk through the crowd.

"I'll try. Lin Nan looked at it with a smile, and it seemed that he didn't pay attention to these twelve riddles at all.

"Childe is ready?" The man surnamed Gu had a strange look in his eyes, as if he wanted to find something from Lin Nan.

"You don't need to prepare, you just have to do it. "Lin Nan really doesn't pay attention to things like guessing lantern riddles.

"Good!" the man praised, and waved his hand to the twelve girls upstairs, and the girls understood, and the first one on the left slowly came down the stairs with a lantern and walked out of the door.

"Is Childe really ready?" The man asked again, and Lin Nan saw that his mother-in-law and mother were too lazy to pay attention to him, and said to the girl with the lantern: "Remove the sealing paper on the lamp." The girl listened and looked at the man surnamed Gu and saw that he had diǎn diǎn head. Only then did he reach out and peel off the blue seal, revealing the mystery inside.

The tip of the head and the body are as white as silver, and it is said that there is not half a penny. The eyes grow to the buttocks, and they only recognize clothes but do not recognize people, and they type.

"What is this?" the crowd of onlookers craned their necks to barely see, but they couldn't figure it out.

"It's the word 'needle'. Lin Nan replied casually without thinking.

"Wonderful, wonderful, mysterious, even better!" everyone burst into thunderous applause, and Yuzhi also laughed happily. But he was caught up in the cold and was covered by a big hand. "Woo ......" Yuzhi was taken aback, he wanted to scream but couldn't scream, he only felt that he was put into a sack, and then he was lifted up again, this qiē was only in an instant, so Lin Nan didn't notice it at all.

"Childe is quick to think, and he admires and admires him. The man clasped his fists and saluted, and Lin Nan smiled and said, "Replace the next one." ”

"Good. The man glanced up, and the second girl stepped down, carrying a lantern in her hand. At this time, Lin Nan paid attention to it, and the pattern shown on the lamp was actually a cow. "That must have been a rat. This is in line with his zodiac lights. Lin Nan thought that the girl had uncovered the mystery.

The seven fairies marry one person and play an idiom.

When Lin Nan looked at this riddle, he couldn't help but laugh out loud and said, "This riddle is really simple, it's just that the six gods have no master." ”

"Good!" the man smiled and looked up again. This group of people came down and guessed a total of eleven lantern riddles, each of which was immediately guessed by Lin Nan, and in the end, only a girl carrying a "pig" lamp walked downstairs. The man obviously paid more attention to this girl, and walked over to give her a look, as if he was exchanging some information, Lin Nan had already said that this woman was no different, and she was more than one step better than the eleven girls in front of her in terms of temperament and appearance.

"Childe, be careful, this last riddle is not so easy to guess. The girl was very calm, and her expression was very calm.

"Say it. Lin Nan guessed the eleven, and didn't pay much attention to the twelfth, the girl stretched out her hand to uncover the mystery, and then looked at Lin Nan.

Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not, and foxes, wolves, cats and dogs are neither domestic animals nor wild animals.

"Why didn't you hit anything?" the onlookers around looked at each other for some reason.

"I see, but I've seen it. Lin Nan secretly pinched his sweat, but his face pretended to be full of indifference and said, "It's a 'guessing riddle'." ”

Unexpectedly, the expression on the girl's face did not change at all, and she only said lightly: "Guessing the riddle is just a little child's play, is the son interested in writing a song with me?"

Lin Nan was annoyed when he saw that she didn't care, so he snorted and said, "Let the horse come." ”

The girl pondered for a while, and slowly chanted: "A hundred branches of fire trees and thousands of golden trees, BMW incense and dust are endless, Feiqiong came to try the lights together, endure to say goodbye to Tan Lang, once feigned anger, once smiled, the little maid was timid, the stone bridge road was slippery, and whispered to the mother, Da'e has no regrets this night? It's better to go back, it's hard to know the past, it's always a reunion month. ”

Everyone listened to it and thought secretly, until they understood the artistic conception in the words, and then they applauded.

"It seems that I'm going to surprise you, if you want to talk about the Lantern Festival, is there anything better than this one?" Lin Nan thought of this, and read aloud: "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down, the stars are like rain, the BMW carved car is full of fragrance, the sound of Feng Xiao moves, the light of the pot turns, the fish and dragon dance all night, the moth snow willow golden wisps, and the laughter is full of dark fragrance." The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”

As soon as these words were pronounced, the girl's expression had changed from indifferent to surprised, and she stood for a long time, until the applause of the spectators fell, and then she bowed and said: "A good sentence that everyone is looking for him thousands of times, and suddenly looking back, the person is there, the lights are dim, the son is talented, and the little woman is deeply surprised." ”

"There, there. Lin Nan smiled proudly, and his heart was full of indescribable joy.

At this time, the man surnamed Gu Na came over with a smile, stretched out his hand and asked, "If the son doesn't dislike it, how about going to the house together?"

Lin Nan saw that it was not early, so he excused himself and said: "Forget it, we ......" As soon as the word "us" was mentioned, he realized that Yuzhi was gone, and he vaguely felt bad in his heart, so he hurriedly shouted: "Childish!" The shout spread far away, but no one answered.

"Didn't Childe come alone?" the girl asked softly.

"Yes, there is another girl, which of you has seen it?" Lin Nan looked at everyone eagerly, but no one spoke.

"Childe's friend may have gone to watch the lights, so don't worry. The girl came over and said quietly, but Lin Nan shouted: "Impossible!" This drink startled the girl, and the other people around were taken aback, Lin Nan felt that someone in this group of people must know, but it seemed that for some reason they didn't say it, a heart fire arose, and his face became extremely ugly.

"Whoever dares to tie me up, I see that you are impatient!" )
