Chapter 8 Visiting the Lantern Festival

Although the year was full of surprises and surprises, it has finally passed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info It's like I never thought of coming to the capital, I still came, and I never thought that I would meet Wu Ye, which reminded me of modern memories. Fate is like a maze ring, one ring after another, but there will eventually be a ring, which will continue the front edge, there must be a cause for effect, and there will be a cause for effect.

It wasn't until the early stage of the Lantern Festival that the entire Protectorate Mansion stopped a little. I was tired of seeing it every day, so I took Qiu Ju and Dongmei to ask for a half-day leave with Miss, so that the three girls from the south could see the Lantern Festival in the national capital. The young lady guessed that it was me who pleaded with it, and probably thought that I had been embarrassed about what I had been doing lately, so she didn't say anything else, so the three of us went out happily.

"Anyway, Miss is also coming to visit the Lantern Festival, why do you have to take leave and come out alone, and we are all gone at once, will Miss be unhappy?" Qiu Ju, a good old man, was most afraid of making others unhappy, so he asked. "I heard Xia He say that they accompany the young lady out in a carriage every year, and go back after watching from a distance outside the Lantern Festival, how can they compare to the immersive feeling? I'm afraid that a few of their big girls rarely visit the lantern festival! Huh~ If you are really worried about Miss, you won't delay going back this time, why don't you go back now, Dongmei is going to follow me to the Lantern Festival. I said evilly. Oh, you're the worst, if you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have thought about it. Don't don't, you two should take me with you, I don't go out often, I can't recognize the road, don't leave me. After speaking, he hurriedly grabbed Dongmei's arm, for fear that Dongmei would not care about her, and at the end she did not forget to glare at me fiercely, presumably she never flattered me in this mansion. Looking at the two of them in the shape of a conjoined baby, it is really unbearable.

This is our first New Year in the capital, everyone wants to bring something back to their families, so we simply walked along the most prosperous street of the Lantern Festival, one by one, this time there is really someone to accompany me shopping, no longer have to be afraid of the tail, look at people's faces. Qiu Ju needlework is the best, so I bought some handkerchiefs commonly used by people in the capital, and planned to embroider some small patterns after returning to give them to the good sisters of the past. Dongmei bought a lot of favorite items for children in the capital and planned to send them to her nephews and nieces. On the contrary, I have no worries, even if I have adoptive parents, after entering the garden, I see that I am not growing, maybe I have not believed for a long time. Especially after recovering my memory, I feel that I should cherish the present, as for those pasts, it doesn't matter whether they are good or bad. So I was very worried about this kind of reunion festival, so I simply bought some colored ropes, and went to Zhenbaozhai to ask for some jade horns with bad texture, planning to go back and weave some bracelets or something to play.

When everyone had almost bought their things, the sun was dark, and the lanterns everywhere had been lit. Guessing lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival, this kind of activity that has been passed down for a long time will not be thrown away at any time, so the street is full of literati and scholars, shaking fans, and making a ** style, which has attracted countless women to wait and see. But for me, the riddle may not be too difficult to guess, but the riddle of classical Chinese is not the same, although I have also studied for a long time, reading is still understandable, but if it is some pun, there is another other meaning of the splendid words, know that the riddle can understand it is good, of course, compared to the shortcomings, than Qiu Ju and Dongmei, I still have a lot of leeway. As the day gets darker and darker, I just feel that the number of people is increasing, and we are all carrying something, it is not easy to push, sure enough, I was squeezed away by the crowd after a while, relying on the height of the people, I tried to find them for a long time, and I didn't see half a figure, I want to look against the crowd I am afraid that it is even more difficult, fortunately, Dongmei knows the way, Qiu Ju grabbed it tightly, presumably they should be together.

I really didn't want to waste this hard-won good time, so I continued to move forward with the crowd, and when I saw someone guessing the lantern riddle, I would squeeze in, and see the freshness. Later, when I walked to a small stall, I fell in love with a square lantern, and I was about to pick it up and look at it carefully, when I felt a pain in my instep, and I couldn't help but hum "Oops! "Who is so short-sighted and stepped on my aunt and grandmother so hard. I jerked my head up to look for the murderer, and suddenly saw a figure in front of me turn around, but I didn't expect to look back suddenly, that person was really in the dim light.

"It's right or wrong, I'm sorry, Young Master Ben didn't mean it." The beautiful picture was suddenly interrupted by this nasty voice, that's right, the person who turned around was indeed Wu Ye, but unfortunately it was the eldest young master who stepped on me, and Wu Ye just turned around to see the excitement when he heard the sound. Why, why, why, why can't he not be so annoying, I took a deep breath, tried to suppress my boundless anger, but still bowed, and said, "It's the slave who doesn't walk with long eyes, and doesn't do the things of the eldest young master." I don't know how much I gritted my teeth when I said it, but Wu Ye smiled mysteriously at me when he heard it, and suddenly my brain went blank, and I immediately became a nymphomaniac.

"Well, it happened that I broke up with the little guy just now, and we will have to guess the lantern riddle later, and the winning gift will be held by you, and you will make up for it." The eldest young master's cool words instantly froze my heart, it turned out that it could be like this, obviously he was wrong, I not only have to apologize, but also do manual work to atone for my sins, I really should sing Dou E's injustice~! "Feiying, what did you buy? Why didn't you guess a lantern riddle and win a lantern? "Probably because I can't stand the bullying of the eldest young master, it can be regarded as easing the atmosphere, Wu Ye found a specific topic to distract me." It's all because my brain is too stupid to guess, and the lanterns in the capital are too expensive, so I only bought some colored ropes, and planned to make some things for the sisters to play with. "Maybe he just talked casually, but I was still very happy to answer his question, after all, only more communication can shorten the distance between each other, understand each other, and like each other." Oh, when are you going to be long-winded, isn't it just a lantern, hurry up and get one for you later. After saying that, he pulled Wu Ye forward, and I didn't have a chance to say a few more words, it was really rare to get along with Wu Ye outside the Protector's Mansion, so I had to trot and follow the two of them closely, so I was afraid that I would be accidentally scattered again.

After playing along the way, the two young masters won a lot of loot, but what I didn't expect was that the straw bale young master also had two brushes, which were on par with Wu Ye. In the end, we stayed in front of a jade shop, because this shop is newly opened, in order to attract people's attention, there is also a lantern riddle for visitors to guess with prizes, I looked at the best set of prizes from a distance, it was actually three jade pendants, and the pattern in the jade implies the pattern of the three friends of the year. Although the jade pendant is small and the texture and head are average, the workmanship is quite exquisite, and the meaning is good, which really attracts many literati to stop and guess the riddle.

Naturally, such a jade pendant can't enter the eyes of the two young masters, but I just want to see who this set of jade pendants will fall to, so I coaxed the eldest young master to watch it too, maybe my performance is too obvious, maybe it is the noble self-esteem of the eldest young master, in short, the last two young masters also participated. The guessing link is divided into two steps, the first step is ten lantern riddles, the anagrams are easy to become difficult, step by step, a stick of incense within a limited time, write the answer to the store, all the correct answers can enter the second link, but the final riddle has not yet been given. Ten anagrams, if you say more is not much, less is not less, although the front is childish, but there are a few I have thought for a long time and have no clue, so I want a good, all the answers are still very difficult. So in the second link, in addition to the two young masters, the remaining three look similar to me dressed in men's clothes, BINGO! The remaining three are poor scholars who boast of being talented, and they seem to be good friends with each other, they must be very fond of the jade pendant of the three friends of the old and cold, after all, there is no money to buy, and through the power of knowledge to get the things they like, it can be regarded as a gentleman's love for money, and they take it in a good way.

"The most mysterious thing is that I don't test the literary skills of all the talented people in the school. This lantern riddle is made by the owner of my shop, all for the scene, the first to answer is the winner, you can get a set of exquisite jade pendants provided by the shop. The riddle is: 'Twelve o'clock for the son of a daughter.' 'Type two words. "I like this puzzle, but the more simple the puzzle, the harder it is to figure out what it means. However, since it is a businessman, and it is for business, it must be closely related to their business. Twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock, twelve o'clock is not a "jade" word, as for the son of a daughter, there are men and women, not "good", together it is "good jade", hehe, it is really easy to understand! I looked up at the contemplative expressions of these five geniuses, and I must have been shocked by this popular riddle, they are used to twisting and turning, but straightforward things are not easy to find. So I had to stand quietly behind Wu Ye and hummed like a mosquito, "Good jade!" After listening to this, Wu Ye immediately understood what I meant, so this set of three friends of the year and the cold came to my hands. This riddle is not difficult at all, and it can be regarded as a stealth coincidence, and the seven-character puzzle is divided into two words, and the five geniuses who have been thinking that these seven characters must be a metaphor word, so they can't guess it.

I saw that the three talented men said "vulgar" angrily, and then left in disgrace. On the contrary, the eldest young master was unwilling, and asked Wu Ye how he guessed it, Wu Ye didn't want to be greedy, so he directly confessed to me, so angry that I glared at him fiercely, and then lowered his eyebrows and said to the eldest young master: "The slave and maid are rough, where to guess what lantern riddles, but just now with the young masters walking closer, looking at the three jade pendants under the candle flame dazzling, he gently praised a good jade, who knew that the young master read it out, and actually answered correctly, the slave and maid still don't know what is going on." The eldest young master must believe the slave maid, the slave maid is really talking nonsense. After speaking, he also put on a frightened face and looked at the eldest young master, the eldest young master turned his head to look at the young master after hearing this, I immediately stared at Wu Ye, if he dared to say that I guessed correctly, I would definitely jump up, hug him fiercely, and then said to him with tears in his eyes: "I know you love me, but the two of us just know, don't let outsiders see the joke!" The above is purely my cranky thoughts, after receiving my eye warning, Wu Ye replied: "I thought that the right and wrong shadow knew the answer and prompted me, it turned out that I thought too much, but if there is no unintentional compliment from the non-shadow, I am afraid that we will not be able to get this set of jade pendants today, in other words, it can be regarded as providence!" ”

"Anyway, whether it's providence or artificiality, since you also contributed to it, that piece of plum jade will reward you. You are not very good at weaving children, so you will give me and the young master two unique tricks of the jade pendant, and send them to my garden after dinner the day after dinner. The eldest young master commanded. Thank you for the reward, the slave and maid will definitely do their best. After saying that, I glanced at Wu Ye again, not wanting him to look at me with a smile.

I thought that such a lame reason must not be hidden from his eyes, but fortunately, in the end, his providence was a little cover for me. As the night deepened, the crowd dispersed, and the three of us walked back slowly, but fortunately we ran into the two lost little guys after a while, otherwise my arm would really be tired and broken. After entering the house, we didn't go the same way, before parting, Wu Ye took a delicate palace lamp from the hand of the little guy and handed it to me, I remember that he just guessed the lantern riddle, very beautiful, I thought he was going to give it to the young lady, so he took it, but heard him say softly: "I have worked hard for you tonight, I apologize." ”

He was going to give me this lantern, and of course I could hear it, and he was apologizing to me for what he had just confessed to me, and I couldn't help but feel a pang of joy in my heart, and I didn't know how to respond. At this time, a lantern was stuffed into my hand, and it turned out to be the square lamp that I had stopped and looked at for a long time just now, but I remember that I didn't seem to have taken this lamp, could it be that the eldest young master bought it for me? The warmth just now was instantly coldly washed away by this surprise, although I don't know why, but I still feel very happy, just about to salute and thank you, I heard the eldest young master say: "Such a rustic lantern with you is just right, after taking it back, I don't need to say that I rewarded it, I'm afraid that Sister Shuang will think I'm stingy when I see it." "I'm really speechless, I finally feel that he may not be so annoying, he must jump out and hurt you, I have to make you uncomfortable, I really don't know if he and I are destined to fight each other, he will always disrupt my good mood for no reason!
