The ninth day of the eleventh month of the Great Jin calendar.

The snow fell for three whole days, and the land was white.

After the snow stopped, the joy of the people did not dissipate.

Because, the first snow festival has arrived.

There are regulations in Dajin that the first day of the first day after the snow is the first snow festival.

Today's Yangzhou County is as lively as the Snow Festival at the beginning of the year.

Truman was also infected by the atmosphere.

Half of the catchers and soldiers were put on vacation, and the rest were trained as usual patrols, and their salaries were doubled.

There are fewer people available, and Truman naturally has a task.

Patrol.

On the East Street of Yangzhou City.

Truman was dressed in civilian clothes, and Li Lianyi followed behind him.

is a micro-costume patrol, and he is dressed as unrecognizable as possible.

Truman's civilian clothes are white slim models, lining out the muscles he has practiced for most of the month, and it looks less bookish and more chivalrous.

But this chivalrous spirit is not as good as Li Lianyi.

Today, she didn't have the same light armor as usual, and surprisingly wore a blue thick dress, or added an extra white cloak because of the cold.

She had a sword hanging from her waist, and she didn't have to go out on patrol in a small suit, because she was a fast catcher.

Along the way, there will naturally be people she knows to greet her.

After seeing the red umbrella in Li Lianyi's hand, these people would have a relieved smile on their faces.

Li Lianyi not only holds a red umbrella in her hand, but her outfit today is also very exquisite.

Her long hair was neatly tied, and her pretty face was smeared with some rouge, and under the snow, she looked like a girl who had just come out of the rivers and lakes.

Girlish? Li Lianyi in the past would not have this kind of appearance.

In the middle of the crowd, Truman looked at her with a little interest.

looked at Li Lianyi and felt uncomfortable.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Li Lianyi said angrily.

"Ahh Patrol, patrol. Truman snorted, but his eyes did not leave.

Li Lianyi's face turned red inexplicably, as if something on his mind had been discovered.

"Are you still watching?" Li Lianyi raised the umbrella and made a gesture to hit him.

"Don't look at it, don't look at it." Truman took two steps back and waved his hand.

The first snow festival is a more important festival in the Great Jin Dynasty, the rich lady, the talented son will go out of the attic and the study today, or go to the Guanyin Temple to seek marriage, or gather a sprinkle of pen and ink.

Li Lianyi was holding a red umbrella to ask for marriage.

This is the custom of the Great Jin Dynasty, and Trumen has no reason for it.

"You might as well beg me if you go to ask Guanyin Niangniang, I have been in the palace, but I know a lot of talented and handsome sons, and you say what you like, I can find it for you."

After taking two more steps forward, Truman suddenly stopped and whispered.

Li Lianyi's pretty face turned red again, and there seemed to be flames coming out of her eyes.

Boom!

She pulled out her sword.

On the originally lively street, it was quiet for a while, and his eyes looked at her in unison.

With so many eyes staring at her, this frightened female arrester didn't know what to do next.

I don't know what the reason is, but then she just glanced at Truman lightly, put the sword into the scabbard, and walked away.

Seeing that the flirtation failed and was ignored, Truman had to chase after him in embarrassment.

After a man and a woman walked away, watching the lively crowd go back to their original things again, they seemed to say to the people next to them with some hindsight.

"This is another quarrel between two husbands and wives."

"Yes, this kind of thing can always be encountered at the first snow festival every year, do you want this thing?"

"If you want it, buy it for my little daughter to play with, but you say that these two couples don't look like the county magistrate and Li Zhukuai?"

"Hey, it's really like you say that, three taels of silver, no credit."

"Don't."

......

On the streets, the two were still patrolling.

However, it was Li Lianyi who walked ahead.

Truman wanted to say something to break the awkwardness, but couldn't find anything to talk about.

Li Lianyi has changed.

I don't know when she became cold to Truman.

No matter what topic Truman was looking for to talk to her, she answered very seriously, without the previous intimidating attitude.

Truman had thought that her relatives were coming, but judging by the length of this timeline, he denied the idea.

Forget it, don't dwell on it.

Truman looked around carefully and began to patrol seriously.

Soon, the street belonging to the two of them was patrolled, and it was almost dark, and the rest of the time was private time.

Li Lianyi said goodbye, hugged the umbrella and went in one direction.

She didn't know what had caused her attitude to change in this way.

She suspected that it was because Truman was the county magistrate and her immediate boss.

But it was also quickly denied.

As early as the last county magistrate, she was not a lot of the opposite.

Li Lianyi tightened the umbrella into his arms.

He smiled abruptly again.

The person I want to marry Li Lianyi must be a hero with strong martial arts.

Others don't even think about it.

Of course.

Except for those who are handsome.

.....

The patrol mission was completed, and Truman had nothing to do, so he wandered around the street casually.

But I heard the shouting in my ears.

"Come on, come on, take a look, take a look, the annual first snow festival has arrived, and the annual lantern riddle contest has also begun."

"The lantern riddle contest prepared by Lao Wang's family only costs one tael of silver, and if you guess nine correctly, you may get ten taels of silver, guess first and get it first."

Lantern riddle contest, Truman is quite interested.

It's okay to go back to the yamen, and it's okay to go and see.

Truman thought about it, and came to the lantern riddle contest.

The so-called lantern riddle contest is quite rudimentary, with only a table and a few wooden plaques placed on it.

The wooden sign style is the same, which is the so-called lantern riddle.

Although it is very simple, it can't stop the enthusiasm of the audience.

Even if Truman has external strength, he squeezed for a long time to squeeze to the front.

At this time, someone was already guessing.

The lively environment has also been quieted down because of this.

A scholar handed over a tael of silver to the boss.

The boss was a middle-aged man, he took the silver, and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it first, this time the puzzle is written by Wang Xiucai of our county, which is quite difficult. ”

The scholar thought about it and seemed to be a little entangled, but when he saw that there was a reward of ten taels of silver written next to him, he was still ruthless and said: "I am a scholar, I learn benevolence, righteousness and morality, so naturally I will not regret it." ”

"Okay, I don't know what question the guest officer wants to answer?"

"That's it." The scholar pointed to a wooden board.

The boss took the plank, turned it over, and said loudly: "This guest officer chose this puzzle, the puzzle is, a pair of swallows fly in the sky, one is thin and the other is fat; Come once a year, three times a month, type, a time limit of half incense, please guess. ”

After the boss finished speaking, a stick of incense was taken up by Xiao Er.

At the beginning of time, the scholar was confined to thinking, and everyone on the side was also thoughtful.

Before the time for half the incense was up, a smile appeared on the scholar's nervous face, and he had already come up with the answer.

He said confidently: "This is a 'eight' character." ”

Hearing the other party's answer, the boss was not disappointed, he said with a smile: "That's right, it's the word 'eight', congratulations to the guest officer for solving the puzzle of this question, this will give ten taels of silver, I wonder if the guest officer wants to continue?" ”

The scholar took the silver, and he was very satisfied with the ten taels of silver, so he waved his hand and did not continue.
