Mrs. Wei came up with four riddles, each guessing one thing, namely:

Looking south at the lone star is low.

Pingding An Shi allocated official food.

Shenzhou is unified, and the two places cannot be separated.

One arrow is lovesick, and one night is like a hundred years.

Four maids holding brocade boxes each hold a riddle, dictate their own riddles, who did not hear clearly, let them read again, although there is no pen, ink and paper, fortunately the riddle is not complicated, but one or two sentences, listen carefully twice and write down.

Yu Shu is not interested in other people's heirlooms, and she doesn't like to figure out these riddles, so while drinking, she listens to other people's discussions, compared to some nervous and excited girls, I don't know how leisurely Lu Dao is.

In fact, these four puzzles are not difficult, as long as they are not too stupid, they can guess at least one with their brains, but everyone who knows it knows that Mrs. Weiguo is choosing her daughter-in-law in the name of guessing puzzles, and if you want to get her favor, you must guess the so-called "heirloom".

The difficulty is that no one knows what the Jiang family's heirloom is, it may be a jade pendant, or it may be a scroll of calligraphy and painting, which requires solving all four puzzles, and then making a choice, taking one of them.

At this time, there were two factions at the banquet, one faction intended to climb the Dongguan Palace, and those who had no intention of marrying a daughter were waiting to see the ending.

There are very few people like Yu Shu who can't tell the difference between the situation, but who is smart not to participate.

Xin Liu held his head and muttered to himself, suddenly "Ah", turned his head to Yu Shu and said, "I guessed one!" ”

Mrs. Xin stiffened imperceptibly. scolded her and said, "Sit down, don't shout, forget how to explain to you when I come?" ”

Xin Liu flattened her mouth, but she didn't argue with her mother, and squeezed her eyebrows at Yu Shu: "Lianfang, did you guess it?" ”

Yu Shu shook his head.

Xin Liu asked Situ Qinglan again, who was gesturing something on the table with his fingers, and smiled slightly when he heard this, and said, "I also guessed one." ”

Xin Liu hurriedly asked her, "Which one?" Is it the one who looks south at the lone star? I guess it's a 'jade' word, what about you? She didn't say much. Everyone nearby heard it. Someone coughed, as if to blame her for not leaking out.

Situ Qinglan nodded, glanced at Yu Shu who was nothing, and said softly, "I also guessed this." ”

Xin Liu's eyes lit up. Poke her. "Then squeak. If you guess right, you can still get a piece of jade, maybe this 'jade' is the heirloom of the Jiang family. ”

It's that simple.

Situ Qinglan sighed secretly, looking uncertainly at the water pavilion not far away. The graceful Mrs. Wei Guo was talking to Princess Changshu, and her eyes swept to the sides from time to time, clearly observing the young woman at the banquet.

The people sitting on that seat are all high-grade women, and the last time is also a lady, these noble ladies are either from famous families and first-class families, or they are married to a good husband, so they can sit in the VIP seat with dignity and style, and their eyes are empty.

She is nineteen years old this year, a twenty-year-old girl, still waiting to be married, if it weren't for her learning in the Taishi Academy, and her grandfather to rely on, I am afraid she would have become a laughing stock long ago.

Her parents died early, and she has been living under the fence since she can remember, and her aunt and uncle can't say that they are harsh on her, but in their eyes, she has always been an outsider, where will she love like her own daughter. And because her grandfather was very kind to her, the old and young of the family were very wary of her, for fear that a woman with a foreign surname would steal their Fang family's outbreak, two years ago, her aunt helped her say a family affair, and almost sent her away to marry away.

She should have known the current affairs and obeyed the arrangements of her elders, but she just found an ordinary person to marry, and since then she has served her in-laws and husbands and children.

But as she got older, she realized how unrealistic this wish was.

Regardless of whether the uncle will have the patience to wait until the day she becomes a female official, even if the Fang family has such an opportunity to arrange for the juniors to enter the Si Tianjian Prison, it will not be her turn to take advantage of this.

She was disappointed, but also full of hope, just two months ago, she heard that Yu Shu had taken office in the Kunling Bureau, and learned that there was still a shortage of a knife and pen officer by her side, so she started to think about it and wanted to find a suitable time to mention it to Yu Shu, so she cheekily invited her to celebrate her birthday.

As a result, she didn't go.

Just after her birthday, she learned that Yu Shu had already chosen to be an official, so she missed such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to break away from the shackles of the Fang family.

She was frustrated, annoyed, and resentful, but these emotions turned into panic after she learned that her aunt was looking at her relatives again.

She was afraid that this time she couldn't hide, and if she really had to obey their arrangement, marry a mediocre person, and live a life that she couldn't help herself, then her years of hard study, struggle and hard work would be in vain.

She was not reconciled.

So she's going to sit here today. Originally, she shouldn't have come, but in the morning, my aunt had already taken my third cousin out, but she turned back halfway, because my cousin suddenly had a stomach upset, and she was temporarily replaced by her for fear of being indecent.

Those who learn to learn easily believe in the destiny of heaven, but also believe in themselves.

Situ Qinglan lowered her head, looking at the few anagrams on the table that were blurred by her, and her eyes slowly revealed firmness

One after another, some people came out to solve the riddle, and the four riddle servants of Mrs. Wei Guo wandered by the lake, and if anyone had a solution, they only needed to stop one of them for verification.

The first to be solved was the anagram that Xin Liu also guessed, and it was expected that someone could not solve all four, and he was afraid that someone would take the lead, so he took the lead.

"Looking south at the lone star is low, I guess it's 'jade', right?"

Yu Shu heard the prestige, she was a little girl she had never seen before, she spoke crisply, and she was not bad-looking.

I saw a maid who reported the riddle and bent over her with a smile, and stretched out her hand to guide: "Miss guessed correctly, please go with the slave to see the old lady." ”

"Ah, I guessed it!" The little girl's surprise did not seem to be fake, and she was urged by the elders beside her. The little blushed and walked away.

Yu Shu touched his chin and said strangely: such a simple anagram, Xin Liu has been guessing it for a long time, and only then has someone angry, why shouldn't everyone compete to get the lottery? What are you waiting for with your neck tilted up? Or are these little girls here today all below average IQ?

"Hey, let people take the lead," Xin Liu stared depressedly at the little girl who guessed the puzzle correctly, and saw that someone got a brocade box from Mrs. Wei Guo and opened it in public. Take out a watery jade ring. That look, not to mention how much resentment.

The only consolation is that this "jade" is not an heirloom of the Jiang family.

Ruled out one. There are people down there who can't hold their breath. Beckoning to summon the maid who holds the riddle. I guessed first, and then I said, so soon, someone untied another one.

-- Pingding Anshi allocated official food. The mystery is a box of candy people. This is also easy to say, all the general history books should know that there was a Tang Dynasty hundreds of years ago, and there was a turmoil in the last dynasty called "Anshi", this official food is "rice", Tang plus rice, is not just a "sugar" word.

Needless to say, this sugar man is definitely not a family heirloom.

Now there are only two left.

Yu Shu was not interested in participating, but the atmosphere became inexplicably tense, and there were a few riddles all around, so she pondered it for a while.

'Shenzhou is unified, how can the two places be divided. 'Well, the two places are not divided, the land is the soil, the two soil can be a "gui" word, Shenzhou, is the Central Plains, the Central Plains is unified, and the addition of a stroke is a "Shen" word, no, how to explain the thought. Read? Twenty? Homophones? It's - shoes!

'One arrow is lovesick, one night is like a hundred years. Is this also a word splitting fan? It's not like ah, the arrow is the arrow, this should be a side, and the acacia is the other half, hiss, let it go first. Look at the second half of the sentence, a hundred years overnight, this is a good solution, a hundred years is a metaphor for "death", if you die overnight, there is a word "dagger", and then look back at the first half of the sentence, there is! Acacia is "red bean", and one arrow and one bean is the word "short" - short dagger!

Yu Shu quickly guessed the riddle, first secretly praised himself for being smart and the sword was not old, and then thought, which one is the heirloom of the Jiang family, this shoe or a short dagger?

It seems to be a short dagger, after all, who would take a pair of shoes as a treasure for several generations, besides, the Jiang family was born as a military general, and it makes sense to use weapons as heirlooms.

She speculated, and as soon as she had the result, she heard two voices on the seat, one far away and one near-

"I've got a solution."

Yu Shu turned his head and looked at Situ Qinglan who stood up next to Xin Liu, then turned his head and looked at the second seat not far away, a girl with a familiar appearance, that was Cui Yun?

Yu Shu raised her eyebrows, and the first time she recognized the face, she remembered that this girl still owed her five slaps, and then remembered that another Zhan Xueyuan, who owed her a slap, had been murdered, and her mood suddenly became bad.

However, she looked away and saw Cui Xin sitting next to Cui Yun, and remembered that the Cui family owed her tens of thousands of taels of gambling money, and her face was a little pale.

As soon as Cui Yun saw that Situ Qinglan was going to take the lead with her, and the two riddle girls were far away from her, she was a little anxious, and raised her voice:

"Sister Situ, I'll speak first."

Situ Qinglan smiled and asked her, "Which one do you guess?" ”

Cui Yun's eyes rolled, ignoring Cui Xin's secret tugging at the corner of her clothes, and said loudly: "I guess that 'one arrow is lovesick, one night is like a hundred years', is a short dagger!" ”

She was so cunning, but Situ Qinglan was not angry, she glanced at the master's seat, and was not surprised that she was looking at her over there, so she waved at Mrs. Weiguo in the air, and said in a loud voice:

"Then I guess the heirloom of the Jiang family is a pair of shoes."

There was silence at the table, and for a moment, a snicker broke the silence, and then there was a succession of laughter, there was no malice, but it was not goodwill, obviously, everyone was laughing at Situ Qinglan's assertion.

The dignified King of Dongjing is in the same vein, and the wealth is unspeakable, how can the heirloom treasure be a pair of shoes?

However, everyone's laughter did not last long, because Mrs. Wei Guo got up and took a box held by the riddle maid, and looked at the slim woman in the distance with an unpredictable expression, and her voice overshadowed everyone:

"Yes, the heirloom of my Jiang family is a pair of shoes that my grandmother sewed for my ancestors." (To be continued......)
