Chapter Twenty-Eight: Lanterns

It is logical that someone took the lead in the latter things, and other wait-and-see merchants heard the news, but they were sold out in half a day.

After the winter festival, I have been busy with winter brewing and this has not rested, plus the nerves of Hua Qianyue have been in a highly tense state when she encounters returns, and she suddenly loosens it and falls ill, and she is groggy all day long, except for eating and sleeping, Hua Qianyue even feels that if she continues like this, she may be covered in mold, during which Hua Qianyue received a reply from Tong Wanyu, and the letter chattered a lot.

Tong Wanyu said that after returning to Beijing, she wanted to write a letter to Hua Qianyue, but after her mother gave the playing cards to her grandmother, playing cards became popular in the capital, and there were often families who came to beg for it...... She didn't understand what Hua Qianyue asked her to inquire about, so she asked her brother to do it......

Then he told Hua Qianyue some gonzo about the capital, which caused Hua Qianyue to laugh.

Then two days later, Hua Qian received a letter from Tong Yufei, full of five large sheets of paper, listing in detail all the dynamics of the business circle in the capital.

After reading the letter, Hua Qianyue lost her mind for almost two hours, and the girls saw their master's situation and knew what the young lady was thinking, so they didn't dare to step forward, and even Hua Qianyue, who came to tell Hua Qianyue ancient and modern (stories), was pulled away by Helu's excuse to make a delicious cake for him, and Helu's current cake making skills have been passed on to Hua Qianyue.

Just like that, eating, sleeping, sleeping in a daze, it was the fifteenth day of the first month in a blink of an eye.

Hua Qianyue looked at a clump of bamboo outside the window in a daze, Helu was doing needlework on the side, and Ning Shan helped Helu sort out the silk thread.

Lan Xiang came in with a red food box and a curtain, Ning Shan hurriedly got up and took it, Lan Xiang blew on her hands and rubbed her hands and said, "It's still warm in the house." Pointing at Hua Qianyue: "How long has it been?" ”

Holly gestured.

Lan Xiang nodded, just about to say something.

"What are you muttering about me?" Hua Qianyue turned her head and said.

Lan Xiang took out the Lantern Festival in the food box and said with a smile: "My wise and martial lady, how dare the slave and maid say that you, the slave just wants to know when you will be free to enjoy this Lantern Festival and eat it." ”

Hua Qianyue exclaimed: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival?"

"Ah, my miss, are you really comfortable living this day?" Lan Xiang deliberately exaggerated.

"Why don't we go and see the lantern festival?" It took Chizuki to answer the proposal that was not asked.

In the previous life, Hua Qianyue also saw the lanterns, colorful and colorful lanterns illuminated the night sky, and people came and went, but I don't know why Hua Qianyue always felt that there was less vitality and less New Year's flavor.

Whenever I walk on such a street, I can't help but wonder what the ancient lantern festival would be like.

Now that there is an opportunity, we have to open our eyes.

"Okay, okay" Ning Shan said happily: "I haven't seen the lantern festival for many years, and I heard that the lights are lit on the eighth day of the first month of this year, and the lights are lit until the night of the seventeenth." "A look of yearning.

After dinner, the four masters and servants invited Hua Qianli and a group of seven people, originally Hua Qianyue also wanted to bring Hua Qianshu, but who knew that he had already asked Hua Qianli to go together.

The streets and alleys are lit up with lights, people bring their relatives and friends to carry all kinds of lanterns to come and go, as well as dragon dances, lion dancers, dry boat runners, stilt walkers, Yangge twisters......

Hua Qianyue and seven people ate all kinds of snacks, watched juggling, watched shadow puppet plays, in short, where there were more people and spent Qianyue, they took everyone to squeeze where.

Ning Shan looked adoring: "Miss, how do you know that these places are fun?" ”

Hua Qianyue looked proud: "This is not simple, you see where there are many people, where to squeeze is right." ”

"Why?" Hearing Hua Qianyue say this, everyone else was curious and asked in unison.

"Because everybody loves to watch the excitement."

"Then, there are more people on Miss's side, isn't it more fun?" Lan Xiang immediately drew inferences.

Hua Qianyue looked around, and sure enough, there were a bunch of people not far away, and laughter came from time to time.

Ning Shan said: "Why don't we go and have a look?" ”

Everyone had no objection and walked over together.

It turned out to be guessing the riddle, and the one who guessed smiled happily, and the one who didn't guess was not discouraged and continued to guess other riddles.

Hua Qianyue looked interesting, so she found a lotus lantern and guessed it, only to see that the riddle was written "month after month, two months are half of it." There are arable fields on the top, and long rivers below. Six people share a room, and the two are not reunited. Puzzle"

Hua Qianyue thought for a while and said, "This is a word." ”

"Congratulations to this young lady, this lantern is yours." The shopkeeper next to him took the lotus lantern and handed it to Hua Qianyue.

Hua Qianyue casually stuffed the lamp into Helu's hand and said, "This lotus lantern matches your name very well, and it is given to you." Then he looked at the people: "Everyone has a share today, just say whatever you like, and I will help you win it back." ”

Joke, this ability didn't come, four years of college was really in vain.

Hearing this, Ning Zha said: I want that shadow yarn lamp.

Hua Qianyue looked up, only to see that the shadow gauze lamp was made of linen yarn, painted with mountains and rivers and pavilions and with golden moire decoration and pink tassels, swaying in the wind is beautiful for a moment, only to see the riddle written: "A bamboo leaf opens to the sky, play a word puzzle," Hua Qianyue pointed to Lanxiang and said: "Yahuan's Ya character."

Lan Xiang saw that Hexiang and Ning Shan had lights, pointed to a red carp lamp and said, "I want that," only to see that the riddle was written: "Clever makeup in the lady's room."

Hua Qianshu and Hua Qianmin said in unison: "I know this," and then the two said together: "Painting-thrush!" After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Then Hua Qianli also guessed a chrysanthemum lantern, and then Hua Qianyue guessed two lanterns.

Hua Qianyue saw that she was almost finished playing and was about to leave, but she saw the boss hang out a marquee, and saw the butterflies on the lamp dancing with the rotation of the lamp.

The boss saluted everyone and said, "This is the king of lights tonight, if you want to take away this lamp, you must guess three lantern riddles."

Everyone wants good things, and everyone present is grinding their fists and eager to try. The boss saw that the goal had been achieved, and he clapped his hands with both hands and only heard two snaps, and as soon as the guy pulled the rope, a piece of red paper was hung down from the tree next to him, only to see that it was written: "A piece of paper will never be bullied, and it will be sent to my grandson." Hutu makes his own livelihood and has to read the gray hair of Gao Tang. Hit the name of the four drugs. ”

Everyone was still thinking hard, and Hua Qianyue had already said: "Xinshi, aconite, living alone, knowing the mother." ”

The boss nodded and put down the second one: "Close Zhu Fei, Cai Lang is far away from the courtyard to sit." The sun sets in the sky, and the pavilion hangs empty. Everyone went and asked for the news that there was no trace. ”

Hua Qianyue thought for a while and reported the answer: "It's a door word." ”

Before the boss could answer, there was a scholar next to him who shook his folding fan and said, "How can you see it?" ”

Hua Qianyue said: "'Close Zhu Fei, Cai Lang is far away from the idle court', there is a 'Cai Lang' in the middle of the word 'closed', and the 'Cai Lang' in 'Closed' is far away, that is, the 'door'." 'Sunset in the sky' is a description of the scenery in the first sentence, 'The pavilion is empty, everyone goes', the 'pavilion' is empty, and the 'each' goes, only the 'door' remains. The "ask" in "ask the news and the message is nowhere to be found", without the "message", there is only the "door". ”

The boss nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad." Then he said to Hua Qianyue: "Answer the first question again, this lamp is yours." Then he put down the last question, which was a double land question, and it read: "Thirty-nine is not twenty-seven, and forty-eight is not thirty-two." ”

Thirty-nine, four-eight, the numbers add up to twelve, that is, 'double land', two sixes. The next sentence of Hua Qianyue's answer must also be added to the number two equals twelve.

Hua Qianyue has already answered two questions, and others have no chance, so they simply stopped guessing and watched how this girl answered this last question.

Hua Qianyue wanted to laugh out loud, this kind of simple math problem ......, so she said without thinking: "Five or seven is not thirty-five, and six or six is not thirty-six." ”

As soon as the words "good" came out, everyone applauded.

The boss smiled and put this lantern in Hua Qianyue's hand and said, "Congratulations, this lamp is yours, it's the first time I've seen a smart little girl like you." ”

Hua Qianyue thanked with a smile, led everyone back, and sent Hua Qianli and the three of them back to their homes first.

After sending off the three of them, as soon as they turned onto the road back to their home, Lan Xiang's eyes were sharp, and she said, "The person in front of him seems to be a young master." ”

Hua Qianyue saw that it was really Min Haoqing, but it was too late to see the expression clearly, so she waved at Min Haoqing and said loudly: "Cousin." The voice was full of joy, of course, Hua Qianyue was not happy to see Min Haoqing, but she really hadn't recovered from the joy of getting the marquee.

Who knew that Min Haoqing heard Hua Qianyue's shout, instead of coming over as usual, he turned around and flew away......

Hua Qianyue looked at the figure in the distance and wondered, "Is he okay?" ”

Lan Xiang Helu also felt strange, usually the young master of the table saw the young lady and couldn't wait to rush over hundreds of miles away, how could he turn around and flee today as if he had seen a plague god?
