Xu Jinyu grew up in the boudoir since she was a child, and she likes to be quiet and rarely goes out. Occasionally, when I go out of the house as a guest, I mostly sit in a carriage. In her previous life, she ruined her appearance and hid her identity, and no matter how lively the Shangyuan Festival Lantern Market was, she never went out.

Strolling through the streets at the moment, looking around with great interest, is really new and interesting to her. With her brother and the man she likes by her side, she feels a little more satisfied.

As the sky gets late, all kinds of lanterns are lit up, and the light gathers together and is dazzling.

Chen Yuanzhao glanced sideways at her from time to time, under the dazzling lights, Xu Jinyu's eyes flashed with a happy smile, and her pretty face seemed to shine with a layer of crystal light.

It's beautiful, it's incomprehensible.

Chen Yuan's young heart was full of people in front of a stall selling lanterns, and he rushed over. If you guess the lantern riddle, you can win a lantern. If you don't guess the riddle, you have to pay two pieces of silver.

Chen Yuanqing guessed the lantern riddle with great interest.

This stall owner is not an ordinary hawker, but a talent in his twenties. The lantern riddle is not for money, and the riddle is also extremely difficult. The people gathered around the stall scratched their ears and cheeks and pondered.

Chen Yuanqing can take the Mid-Autumn Festival exam, of course, he is quite talented. Soon guessed a lantern riddle and won a lotus lantern.

Chen Yuanqing came over triumphantly with the lotus lantern and gave the delicate lotus lantern to Xu Jinyu: "Cousin Jin, this is what I won by guessing the riddle, and I will give it to you." ”

Under the light, the handsome face of the young man was radiant and smiling.

Xu Jinyu was in a trance, as if she had seen the infatuated teenager back then. I accidentally lost my mind. Subconsciously stretched out his hand to take the lotus lantern.

Halfway through his hand, he coldly took out his other hand to pick up the lotus lantern: "This lamp is a bit heavy, I'll take it." ”

Xu Jinyu: ""

This careful-eyed Chen Yuanzhao!

"Second brother. Where is this lotus lantern heavy? Chen Yuanqing said with some dissatisfaction: "Besides, look around, which woman is not carrying a lantern in her hand"

Chen Yuanzhao interrupted Chen Yuanqing without changing his face: "Ah Yu likes lanterns, so I will naturally guess the lantern riddle to win one for her." Keep this lotus lantern for yourself! ”

Chen Yuanqing: ""

Xu Zheng couldn't help laughing. He is not disgusted by Chen Yuanzhao's cautious and domineering behavior.

Men will inevitably care about the women they like.

Chen Yuanqing touched his nose and said a little stupidly: "Okay, okay, if you want to guess the lantern riddle, just go." But. Let me remind you that the riddles on that stall are very difficult, and it is not easy to guess them. ”

Don't flatter. Instead, it made a fool of itself.

With Chen Yuanzhao's temperament, once he makes a fool of himself, there is a chance that he will be angry with him.

Chen Yuanzhao glanced at Chen Yuanqing and said lightly: "Don't worry." Even if you can't guess right. I will not be angry with you. ”

Chen Yuanqing immediately smiled and said: "This is what you said personally, everyone heard it, give me a witness." lest the second brother rebel. ”

The crowd was amused.

Chen Yuanzhao also had a smile in his eyes.

Chen Yuanzhao has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has also read the Four Books and Five Classics, but he is far inferior to Xu Zheng and Chen Yuanqing. If the riddle is particularly difficult, it may not be possible to guess it.

Chen Yuanzhao strode to the lantern stall.

He is tall and has a cold temperament, and his gestures naturally exude a compelling momentum. The scholars who were originally gathered in front of the stall were awe-inspiring. Subconsciously took a few steps back and gave way to an open space.

Xu Jinyu watched from afar. I couldn't help but laugh.

This Chen Yuanzhao has a calm face all day long, as if he will draw a knife at any time. No wonder everyone is afraid of him.

"Fetch the best lanterns!" Chen Yuanzhao said in a deep voice.

That Xiucai was also frightened enough, almost thinking that he had met a robber and robber, and trembled and took the plum blossom lantern at the highest place. The plum blossom lamp is really exquisitely made, and the plum blossoms painted on the lamp are lifelike.

Chen Yuanzhao took the riddle on the plum blossom lantern, looked at it a few times, frowned, and didn't say anything for a long time

I couldn't guess. Ha ha! The second brother is going to be embarrassed today!

Chen Yuanqingle grinned.

Xu Jinyu suddenly whispered to Xu Zheng: "Big brother, I also want to go over and see the lanterns." ”

Xu Zheng clearly saw Xu Jinyu's thoughts, but he didn't say anything, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, let's also go over and guess the lantern riddle." ”

The brother and sister walked over hand in hand. Chen Yuanqing hurriedly followed: "Wait for me!" ”

Chen Yuanzhao frowned and looked at the lantern riddle, as if he was glaring at the enemy. That Xiucai felt a chill in his heart, and cautiously reminded: "This son, there is a time limit for guessing lantern riddles."

Chen Yuanzhao glanced over coldly.

Xiucai immediately changed his words and said, "It's okay, Childe just guess slowly." ”

I really can't guess it, so I just give him this plum blossom lamp! lest you keep standing here and provoke others not to come closer.

At this moment, a group of people walked over.

As soon as Na Xiucai raised his head, a beautiful face as gentle as jade suddenly came into view. She is a beautiful woman, and her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque under the lights, and her smile is bright.

That Xiucai's eyes flashed with amazement, and his heartbeat suddenly jumped much faster: "This young lady, do you want to guess the lantern riddle?" There are all kinds of lanterns here."

Chen Yuanzhao came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Xu Jinyu: "Ah Yu, why are you here?" ”

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and chuckled: "I like lantern riddles the most on weekdays, and I have itchy skills for a while, so I came over." Leaned closer to Chen Yuanzhao and said softly: "What about the lantern riddle in your hand, let me see it." ”

She spoke so softly, as if she was whispering in her ear, which would not make Chen Yuanzhao feel frustrated in her self-esteem, and handed the riddle to Xu Jinyu casually.

Xu Jinyu took the riddle and quickly glanced at it.

The three mountains are from the three mountains, and the mountains are upside down. Month after month, month after month, month after month. The left and right rows are double-feathered, and the two rivers are vertically and horizontally. The family has six people. The two are not reunited.

This is an anagram.

Xu Jinyu thought about it for a while, and guessed it, but deliberately frowned and pretended to be embarrassed.

Xu Zheng saw it in his eyes. I couldn't help but smile knowingly. Xu Jinyu is afraid that if she guesses too quickly, it will embarrass Chen Yuanzhao. I don't know if Chen Yuanzhao can understand Xu Jinyu's hard work

Xu Jinyu "frowned and pondered", and only said hesitantly after a while: "I don't know if it's a word?" ”

Na Xiucai hurriedly smiled and replied: "This young lady is quick and admirable. This plum blossom lantern belongs to the young lady. As he spoke, he diligently picked up the plum blossom lantern and sent it to Xu Jinyu.

Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled slightly: "Thank you." ”

The smile is like a flower, blooming instantly.

That Xiucai took a breath. It's almost impossible to look away. Cold flashes flashed in Chen Yuanzhao's eyes, and he took the plum blossom lamp from Xiucai's hand. The strength of his hand was a little bigger, and Xiucai let go of his hand a little embarrassed. Don't dare to look at Xu Jinyu more.

In fact, not only this showman, but also the men around him quietly looked over here. A girl as beautiful and quiet as Xu Jinyu and a jade temperament is simply unseen in her life

Chen Yuanzhao glanced around with a cold face.

The men suddenly withdrew their gazes.

Beauty is good. It's a pity that it's already famous. The eyes of this Xuanyi boy are really terrifying! It's better to see less

The plum blossom lamp is delicate and lightweight. It doesn't weigh much in your hand.

Xu Jinyu's eyebrows and eyes were soft, a sweet smile hung on the corner of her lips, and a pear vortex loomed on her cheeks.

Chen Yuanzhao was a little annoyed because he didn't guess the lantern riddle just now, and he was even more depressed by the amazing eyes that looked around him from time to time. If you knew this, it would be better to stay in the old house of the Zou family

But Chen Yuanqing didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, so he came over with a smile and arrived at Chen Yuanzhao: "Second brother, there is still a lantern stall over there." Do you want to guess the lantern riddle again? Cousin Jin guessed this one just now, you should always win one and give it to Cousin Jin! ”

Chen Yuanzhao: ""

It was rare to see Chen Yuanzhao's face flushing red and white. Chen Yuanqing was overjoyed and grinning.

Xu Jinyu and Xu Zheng also heard this. Xu Zheng couldn't help laughing, Xu Jinyu tried to hold back his laughter, and said understandingly: "I just have this plum blossom lantern." If there are lanterns, where can I carry them? ”

Xu Zheng took over with a smile: "Yes, the riddles on these stalls are ordinary anagrams, and there is nothing particularly difficult." When we go to guess the lantern riddles, we can't help but feel like bullying the vendor owner. ”

Chen Yuanzhao's handsome face is even darker!

As soon as Xu Zheng spoke, he felt speechless. Chen Yuanzhao didn't guess the anagram just now, he just said that the anagram is simple, isn't this a disguised mockery of Chen Yuanzhao's lack of proficiency in literature and ink?

Xu Zheng coughed and tried to play a round: "I didn't mean to make fun of you when I said this, don't take it to heart." You have been practicing martial arts since you were a child, and what you are good at is the art of war, arranging formations, and leading troops to fight. If you read less books, you will not be interested in these anagrams, and it is inevitable that you will not be proficient in them. ”

This kind of thing, the more you explain it, the more wrong it becomes.

Chen Yuanzhao lost face in front of everyone, especially in front of Xu Jinyu, and he was quite embarrassed. was comforted by Xu Zheng again, and it was even more unpleasant in my heart.

You've got to find a way to get it back!

Chen Yuanzhao took advantage of his height and long legs, his eyes crossed the crowd, he didn't know what he saw, and his expression moved. Suddenly, he said, "There are a lot of people gathered there, and it looks quite lively and interesting." How about we go over and see? ”

The politeness in his mouth has actually taken a step forward.

Xu Zheng and Chen Yuanqing glanced at each other, very curious, and hurriedly followed.

Xu Jinyu guessed a little bit of Chen Yuanzhao's thoughts, pursed her lips and chuckled. Chen Yuanzhao is the most proud and conceited, and he must have found a way to win back face

It's just a dozen meters, but because of the crowding, it took a long time to walk for a cup of tea.

There were a lot of people gathered around the stall, and the people inside didn't know what they were doing, and there were bursts of cheers from time to time. There was a mixture of laughter, discussions, and excited shouts of children.

Chen Yuanqing stood on tiptoe and looked at it, and was immediately happy.

No wonder the second brother insisted on coming here! I want to show my skills in front of everyone!

Xu Jinyu was covered by Chen Yuanzhao and Xu Zheng, and couldn't see what was inside, so she pulled Xu Zheng's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Big brother, what's inside?" ”

Xu Zheng turned his head and smiled: "This is also a lantern stall." However, instead of charades, the pot is thrown with a wooden arrow. If you throw a pot of silver once, you can return the silver in the middle of the vote, and you can also take away any lantern here. If you don't win, the money will go to the boss. ”

This kind of pot throwing game is also new and interesting. Charades are more popular than crepe. After all, not everyone is literate, especially ordinary people.

Wooden arrow pitchers rely on eyesight and hand power, and are suitable for men, women and children. It's no wonder that there are so many people around this lantern stall.

At this time, a boy of eight or nine years old was throwing the pot, accompanied by his parents. The boy bought three wooden arrows, but unfortunately they didn't hit.

The boy looked disappointed. It's a pity that this stall is expensive, and my parents must be reluctant to pay any more money.

The boss, who was in his forties, took a small rabbit lamp from the side and gave it to the boy. The boy carried the rabbit lamp and immediately became happy. The family of three left happily.

Xu Jinyu looked at this scene, and only felt warm in her heart.

The greatest happiness in this world is to be a family and stay with Meimei.

Chen Yuanzhao turned his head and asked lightly, "Which lantern do you like?" I'm going to win it for you. There was confidence in his tone.

Xu Jinyu wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, this was a piece of his mind, and it was not beautiful if he refused. He smiled and pointed to a lantern hanging high and said, "That one is the most beautiful, so I want that lamp." ”

Chen Yuanzhao replied without thinking.

Without waiting for Chen Yuanzhao's orders, Zhou Cong had already walked up to the boss and took out some broken silver from his body. The boss smiled: "If you throw a penny of silver into the pot once, you can return it in the middle of the vote, and you can also take away the lantern." If you don't hit, then you can't help it. The money will not be returned. I wonder how many arrows you want to throw? ”

Chen Yuanqing was also interested, and interjected on the side: "Give him three taels of silver and take thirty wooden arrows." Ten sticks for each of the three of us. ”

Zhou Cong paid the silver. The boss was overjoyed to see that these people were well-dressed and handsome, and they were generous. He graciously carried thirty wooden arrows over.

Chen Yuanqing was the first to step forward with great interest.

Ten paces away was a copper kettle on the ground, with a large belly and a small mouth, and a thin wooden arrow, which did not weigh much. Without the strength of the head, it is indeed difficult for this wooden arrow to be thrown into the pot.

Chen Yuanqing won four out of ten, which has already aroused applause. The boss deliberately sighed with a bitter face: "If they were all as accurate as this son, I would not only lose much today." ”

Chen Yuanqingle laughed: "Okay, don't complain, I'll just take one." "It was just for fun, what do you want so many lanterns to do.

The boss immediately smiled.

Xu Zhengzhun couldn't compare to Chen Yuanqing, and only hit three.

Next, it was Chen Yuanzhao's turn. (To be continued......)
