Section 378 Lantern riddles

The Zhen family set off for five days, but Zhen Mo still didn't know.

No one in the countryside came to sue him.

He didn't think that anyone would dare to hit his family, so he didn't pay much attention to his family, and he was still as usual.

Gu Jinzhi sent someone to pay attention to Zhen Mo's movements.

As usual, he either served by Tan You's side or went back to his yard. He lived a monotonous and rigorous life every day.

The Zhen family has been gone for so many days, and it is a little difficult to catch up. Zhu Zhongjun saw that the effect was achieved, and said to Gu Jin with a smile: "The eldest grandmother of the Zhen family is pure and kind, and her knowledge is shallow, otherwise she would not be so lightly taken away by you, you have great luck this time." ”

Gu Jinzhi smiled: "Yes." ”

She remembered that Zhu Zhongjun once told her that people can't be kind, and once they are kind, they will be used by people with ulterior motives. Gu Jinzhi didn't like Zhu Zhongjun's tone very much in the past, and felt that he was too mean and unkind. Now that I think about it, the reality is so ruthless.

The only one living in the ivory tower is Gu Jinzhi.

Therefore, Zhu Zhongjun always felt that she was terriblely stupid, and she did.

Time has come to the Shangyuan Festival in a blink of an eye, and the Zhen family has been gone for almost ten days.

Every time Zhen Mo left home, he would tell his wife when he would go back. On that day, Grandma Zhen would send the family maid to pick it up early.

is not only to pick up Zhen Mo, but also to see if Zhen Mo has something to do.

If something is delayed and can't go back, Grandma Zhen will have to make other arrangements.

This has been the rule for several years.

When it came to Shangyuan Festival, Zhen Mo told Tan You in the morning. He's going back to the country today.

Tan You said: "Go back and stay for a few more days." ”

Every time Zhen Mo wanted to go home, Tan You said this, and asked someone to send a lot of gifts, fruit snacks, tea, and cloth, for Zhen Mo to take back.

Zhen Mo thanked him.

He went back to his yard and packed his luggage.

Every time I go home, as long as there is no emergency, Zhen Mo will bring some gifts. He bought it himself, Tan You rewarded him, and loaded half of the car.

He sat at home. Waited a little and waited. Seeing that there was still no family in the countryside to report the news, Zhen Mo was suspicious.

The roads in the countryside are not easy to walk, and the family sometimes misses the hour.

Zhen Mo was too lazy to wait, he wanted to get home before lunch. He got up with his little guys. Out of town.

In the city of the Shangyuan Festival. In the morning, the excitement should not have boiled yet, but the streets were also clogged. Zhen Mo's carriage squeezed for half an hour before leaving the city.

After leaving the city, go directly to Liujiazhuang.

On the Shangyuan Festival, lanterns should be hung at the door early.

The carriage stopped, and Zhen Mo got out of the carriage, but saw that there was silence at the gate of Zhen's house, the gate was closed, and a layer of ash fell on the bronze door cymbals.

Zhen Mo shouted in his heart, and without waiting for the little guy to knock on the door, he stepped forward quickly, and his heavy palm personally slammed on the vermilion gate, and for a while, the door cymbals were also shaken, and the sound was harsh.

It took a long time before a family came to open the door slowly.

Seeing that it was Zhen Mo, the family was not surprised, and called the master.

Zhen Mo asked busily; "What are you doing when your house is closed?"

The family was also confused: "Grandma is gone, isn't it the master's order?" Grandma told us to watch the house and hide in the cellar if something happened......"

Zhen Mo only felt a scoop of cold water and splashed it on his head.

He was cold from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

――――

During the Lantern Festival, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun entered the palace to accompany the Queen Mother for the festival.

The banquet was held at Inshou Palace.

The presiding positions present were the emperor and the empress dowager.

Then, the crown prince.

Under the crown prince are the vassal kings who have not yet left Beijing.

The concubines and princes and concubines were divided into two columns, left and right, and sat down separately with different statuses.

The music began, and the sound of silk and bamboo lingered.

The aroma of wine fills the four seats.

After the Empress Dowager moved to Renshou Palace, the situation in the court was tense again. Especially the Tan family, the intention is about to come out.

The concubines in the palace have their own thoughts.

The princes are sitting in a precarious position, with a respectful and cautious attitude, no one wants to move into the turmoil, they just want to spend the Shangyuan Festival in peace, hurry back to their respective fiefdoms, and live happily.

When toasting, Gu Jinzhi lowered his eyelashes, neither looked at the emperor nor the queen mother, toasted in a proper manner, and returned to his seat.

After the feast, it's time to listen to the play.

This time, Gu Jinzhi and Zhu Zhongjun sat together.

During the interval of listening to the play, the palace people brought lanterns again, and let everyone write lantern riddles one after another, and guess the lantern riddles later.

Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi were not used to playing this, so the two of them picked up the pen, but they didn't know how to start for a while.

looked at the Nanchang Wang Fen writing next to him, and finished writing it quickly, and gently turned sideways, let the princess whisper in his ear, and teach his princess. Princess Gong of Nanchang nodded and quickly wrote.

Gu Jinzhi was a little anxious.

Zhu Zhongjun said in her ear: "Day after day. ”

"Guess what?" Gu Jinzhi asked.

"Guess the word." Zhu Zhongjun said.

Gu Jinzhi thought about it in his heart, and couldn't help but smile, it was very appropriate, so he wrote "day after day", embellished it, typed it, and handed it in.

Zhu Zhongjun thought about such a thing, and then pondered.

Then, he wrote the word "plunder", and then embellished it with "hit an idiom".

Gu Jinzhi is not good at this kind of word game, she thought about it, couldn't guess which idiom, and asked Zhu Zhongjun in a low voice: "What is it?" ”

Zhu Zhongjun smiled, didn't tell her, and said, "Think about it again......"

Gu Jinzhi had to sit up straight.

Taking advantage of the gap between Gu Jinzhi's thoughts about Zhu Zhongjun's riddle, everyone finished writing one after another, and the palace people put away the pen and ink and handed over the lantern.

After singing two songs, the riddles are ready.

The eunuch Liu Shu came in and said, "The lanterns of the Nanhua Hall have been hung, please enjoy the lanterns of Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the princes and the ladies to enjoy ......the lanterns."

Nanhua Hall is not far from Renshou Palace, a few steps away.

The emperor personally supported the Queen Mother, and the crown prince supported the Queen Mother's other arm, and everyone followed them to the Nanhua Palace.

The main hall of Nanhua Hall. Lanterns were hung all over the hall, illuminating the ceiling of the blue dome hall, reflecting the scorching light, and then falling on the marble floor.

The ground of the Nanhua Hall was actually light for a while.

Gu Jinzhi followed behind Zhu Zhongjun and entered the hall.

She whispered to Zhu Zhongjun: "It's amazing, there are so many lantern riddles, I'm afraid everyone has guessed one, and it will be over tonight." ”

She wasn't sure.

Zhu Zhongjun's lantern riddle, she still hasn't remembered what the idiom is.

"You can't guess?" Zhu Zhongjun gloated.

Gu Jinzhi glared at him.

"My riddle riddle to you. If it's really uncertain. You take down my riddle first. Go back and take it to top up. Zhu Zhongjun said in a low voice.

Everyone's lantern riddle has its name written.

Gu Jinzhi took Zhu Zhongjun's lantern riddle, isn't it cheating?

It's better not to guess.

"It's not good, isn't this a bully?" Gu Jin's way. "I'll take a look first. If you really can't guess. I'll just pretend to have a headache......"

Zhu Zhongjun wanted to laugh. and dare not be presumptuous. But in the end, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Fortunately, when they entered the main hall, everyone whispered around the lantern. The main hall was noisy, covering up Zhu Zhongjun's laughter.

In front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, there were people around, and Zhu Zhongjun and Gu Jinzhi didn't bother to move forward.

The two looked at each other slowly.

There are also lantern festivals in the market, and there are many lantern riddles. Merchants ask people to guess, and if they guess correctly, they give money or things as a gimmick to attract business, so it is more difficult.

But in the palace, it's just fun. If it's too difficult, it's boring to guess, so most of them are simple and popular.

Gu Jinzhi is not good at anagrams, but he can still guess one or two correctly.

“…… Hiding black charcoal in his belly, wearing a splendid robe, he made his heart angry, and he jumped eight feet high. Hit a thing. The crown prince was thirteen years old, already an adult, standing beside the Queen Mother, loudly reciting lantern riddles for the Queen Mother.

He was at the age of voice change, so his voice was hoarse and low, like a person infected with wind and cold.

He made this riddle.

The Queen Mother thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's a firecracker?" ”

The crown prince hurriedly said: "Exactly." The grandson thought about it for a long time, and the imperial grandmother guessed it. ”

The Queen Mother smiled heartily and said: "It's not difficult for your imperial grandmother to do these popular mysteries, and in the future, study hard, have more ink in your stomach, and make it difficult." ”

Then he shouted to the palace maid Cheng Wan: "The prince has done a good job in this mystery, the mourning family likes it, and bring the gift of the mourning family to ......."

The crown prince may not be able to understand the riddles. Even if he doesn't, there is such a group of attendants in the East Palace, they are all from Hanlin, who is not Bogu Tongjin? It's not easy to make a riddle for the prince, and let the prince carry it?

The crown prince made this simple lantern riddle, which was nothing more than to make the queen mother smile.

The Queen Mother is a very good person. She always knows how to leave the scenery and pride to the emperor and the crown prince, and she is the one who cheers on her back. As soon as the prince's riddle came out, the queen mother was immediately rewarded.

The atmosphere suddenly came alive.

It's just that Tan Guifei's gaze at the crown prince added a bit of gloom. Her obscurity flashed, but Gu Jinzhi looked at her squarely.

Gu Jinzhi quickly looked away again, not letting Tan Guifei find out that she was peeping.

When Gu Jinzhi made a small move, the Queen Mother guessed a few more.

Several princes and concubines were smiling and complimenting the Queen Mother's knowledge

For the Queen Mother, it is not difficult. These are common guesses.

Gu Jinzhi was a little nervous. She looked at a few casually, only two.

The two she would know, the Queen Mother guessed one of them.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor also came to guess.

He also guessed several times in a row, and rewarded the puzzle solver with something.

Unfortunately, the other one of Gu Jinzhi's meeting was guessed by the emperor......

Gu Jinzhi casually glanced at a few more, but he couldn't, so he had to gently pull Zhu Zhongjun's sleeve: "Tell me the answer to your mystery." ”

Zhu Zhongjun was slightly surprised and asked, "Don't you know how many?" ”

"It's been guessed by the queen mother and the emperor......" Gu Jinzhi said helplessly.

Zhu Zhongjun was first surprised, and then laughed.

His laughter, which could not be suppressed for a while, filled the entire hall.

Everyone's eyes suddenly moved to him.
