Chang'an City, Yuzhou. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Tonight's Chang'an City is particularly noisy, and people have taken to the streets, firstly to celebrate the successful conclusion of the first phase of the kendo tournament, and secondly, because the entire Chang'an City is full of gorgeous lantern displays at night.

Although today's okra experienced a fierce duel, she did not suffer any physical damage, and after winning the match, her spirit was naturally very good.

When she was eating in the evening, she whispered to Xiaobai that she wouldn't let him eat so much, and that they would go out to eat later.

So after eating, Xiao Bai and okra left the post house one after another under the pretext of going out to see the lantern show.

Lover's Bridge, Xiao Bai looked left and right, constantly looking around, he and Okra made an appointment to meet here, and the time was not early, why hadn't he seen her yet?

"Smack-"

A small hand gently patted Xiao Bai's shoulder behind him, okra stood in place with her cheeks slightly red, and looked at Xiao Bai shyly.

Xiao Bai turned around and was immediately shocked by the appearance of okra.

No wonder it came out so late, it turned out that he secretly went back to put on light makeup, Xiao Bai looked at the fairy-like okra, and was stunned for a while.

"What forβ€”"

Okra stretched out her hand and patted Xiao Bai gently, and said in a coquettish voice: "Don't you know me?" ”

Xiao Bai immediately shook his head dumbfoundedly, but he didn't speak.

"Isn't it ugly?" Okra asked in a coquettish voice.

Xiao Bai shook his head again and said, "No, no, it's very good-looking." ”

Okra immediately turned around, turned her back to Xiao Bai and said shyly: "No, I won't melt, Sister Liangyue helped me get it." ”

After seeing okra turn around, Xiao Bai's eyes naturally fell downward, and when he saw that okra was wearing white silk, his eyes were so shocked that he almost fell.

"Let's go, let's hurry over," Okra took Xiao Bai's hand and said, "I want to guess the lantern riddle, let's go quickly, otherwise the things will be taken away by others later." ”

Xiao Bai nodded and followed behind Okra, letting her swing her hand.

Guessing lantern riddles was originally a special activity only at the Lantern Festival, but because of the holding of the kendo conference, Yuzhou specially added the activity of guessing lantern riddles to the lantern exhibition.

People can freely choose the lanterns, and there are different anagrams in the lanterns, as long as they can guess the answer to the anagrams, they can get the corresponding gifts.

Okra doesn't care what those gifts are, she just enjoys the process of guessing lantern riddles with Xiao Bai, otherwise with her family background, what do you want and can't get?

The two of them trotted all the way and finally came to the place where they guessed the lantern riddle.

After paying the money, Okra pulled Xiao Bai and ran in, the two of them looked around excitedly, there were countless lanterns in the venue, and the two of them seemed to be a little dazzled.

"I want thisβ€”"

Okra pointed to a lantern and said to the girl on the side.

The girl smiled, immediately took off the lantern and handed it to the okra, and ended up saying casually: "I didn't expect you to be a couple, I really envy you, I watched your game, they are all amazing, come on!" ”

Hearing the girl's words, Xiao Bai immediately let go of okra's little hand, and a somewhat unnatural smile appeared on his face, but he didn't explain it.

"Thank you for supporting both of usβ€”"

The girl's words made okra smile happily, and her heart kept snickering.

Although Xiao Bai maintained a calm expression on his face, he was somewhat excited and happy in his heart.

Okra took out the anagram from the lantern, opened the note and whispered: "Ah, Xiaobai, this riddle is not very easy to guess, how can this be?" ”

Xiao Bai chuckled lightly and said, "What is it, show me." ”

Okra immediately handed the note to Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai held the note, looked at the content on it and read softly: "I just frowned, but I was in my heart." ”

This sentence comes from the "A Cut Plum" by Li Qingzhao, a female lyricist of the Southern Dynasty's Wanyue School, and the use of ancient words as lantern riddles is indeed quite ancient.

However, this lantern riddle is indeed a little difficult, okra pondered the two sentences carefully, and asked the girl, "Little sister, can you give the two of us a hint?" ”

The girl was quite shy and a little overwhelmed and said, "I'm sorry, we have rules, and we can't give hints." ”

Okra immediately grabbed the girl's hands and said in a coquettish voice: "Little sister, you are so good-looking, you must be very kind, neither of us can guess lantern riddles, you just give us two a little hint, just a little bit." ”

The girl looked at the cute appearance of okra, and her heart was overjoyed.

Although she knows that she is not good-looking, every girl always likes to be praised, not to mention being recognized by such a peugeot beauty as okra, the girl is naturally happy in her heart.

"Well, you must keep it a secret for me." The girl smiled.

Okra immediately smiled and whispered, "It must be." ”

"The riddle is a clutch word, you think about it, it's not difficult, pay attention to the meaning of the conversation." The girl looked at okra with a smile.

Okra held his chin and immediately thought about it, Xiao Bai was more or less puzzled, and asked, "Xiao Kui, what is a clutch?" ”

"That is, a word can be split into two parts, and then these two parts are added to the original word, and if you read them together, you can become a word that satisfies the mystery." Okra looked at Xiaobai and said.

Xiao Bai was a little stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he said, "It's so difficult, how can this be thought of?" ”

Seeing that Xiao Bai was a little disappointed, Okra immediately said, "Don't be discouraged, help me think about it." ”

Xiao Bai picked up the note again, looked at the sentence and said: "I just frowned, but I was in my heart, doesn't this mean that a person is very sad, just now he is not sad, and then he becomes sad again." ”

Okra was stunned for a moment, stared at Xiao Bai and said, "Xiao Bai, you repeat what you just said." ”

"Huh?" Although Xiao Bai was a little puzzled, he still said: "It's just that this person was just happy and became unhappy again." ”

Okra froze in place, her mind constantly flipping through the relevant memories.

"I see!" Okra stared at the girl with wide eyes and said, "Is it the word 'Huan'?" ”

The girl nodded, laughed, and said, "Congratulations." ”

Okra jumped up excitedly, looked at Xiao Bai's puzzled expression, and said: "Thanks to Xiaobai, isn't the word 'Huan' 'again' and 'owed', and the combination of 'Huan' doesn't mean 'owing Huan' and sadness?" ”

Xiao Bai immediately understood, and laughed along.
