Chapter 111: Lantern Riddles

"Justice, didn't you say a few days of grounding? Uncle let her out. Gao Shilin said quietly, looking at Cao Yaxin and Cao Yuan's smiling and friendly attitudes, although he knew that the two were sisters, but he really didn't feel good in his heart.

"You also know that as long as she opens her mouth and asks softly, her father can't resist it, and her aunt spoils her again, how can she help it." Cao Ping chuckled and patted Gao Shilin's shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"It's come to this, it's useless to talk too much, let's keep up." Gao Shilin said softly, but his feet were not slow, his stride was like a meteor, and he rolled up a breeze and immediately chased after him.

"Two Chu brothers, please." Shaking his head slightly and sighing, Cao Ping smiled and stretched out his hand to invite.

"Cao Gongzi, please." Chu Zhen politely returned the salute and chuckled at Chu Jue: "Wenyu, Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the opportunity is rare, not to be missed, we also have to bring a few lanterns back to Ju'er to play with." ”

Chu Jue nodded lightly, looking at the lanterns hanging around, his eyes showing a little interest.

"Since you don't want to fight, then we'll win more lanterns than whoever wins." Cao Lu said, giving Chu Jue a provocative look at Chu Jue of the same age.

"As long as you're not afraid of losing, I'll naturally accompany you." Under Chu Qian's hint, Chu Jue, who had been silent for a long time, said indifferently.

"Well, there's a riddle in front of us, let's see who guesses the riddle first." Cao Lu said excitedly, and stood under the lantern a few steps forward to look carefully.

Although it is a riddle to win the lantern, but not all lanterns have a riddle, after all, the people who participate in the lantern festival, its main purpose is to watch the lantern scene, if anyone wins the lanterns, leaving an empty hanging wire, then what is the meaning of the lantern festival.

"Untie the three autumn leaves, can bloom February flowers, cross the river and thousands of waves, and enter the bamboo ten thousand poles." Cao Lu's movements also aroused Chu Jue's competitive spirit, and he also stepped forward and chanted softly.

"From the riddle, you must guess something, but you don't know if it's a thing?" Cao Lu frowned and thought, his eyes drifted away, and he didn't seem to have the slightest clue.

"You guys think about it here slowly, I'm one step ahead of Brother Justice." Chu Zhen smiled lightly, twisted his head and said, "Brother Justice, Caiqing and they stopped and seemed to have encountered a problem. ”

"Let's take a look." Cao Ping said with a smile, and walked slowly to the front with Chu Zhi, where there was a lantern hanging with a silk sac to store millet as a fetus, so it was entwined and depleted, like a glass ball, and under the shining lamp, there were not only Gao Shilin and three people, but also a few contemplative onlookers.

"You're here, where are Gongshan and Wenyu?" Finding the arrival of Chu Zhen and Cao Ping, Gao Shilin said with a smile: "It's just in time, there is a mystery here, I can't figure it out, I hope you can solve it." ”

"Come downstairs, the golden hairpin falls; Ask the sky, where are the people? hated the king and grandson, and went all the way; Wrongdoers, words are hard to stay; I regretted that I was wrong; There is an up-turn, there is no down-turning; dyed into soap, it is difficult to speak plainly; A pair of good mandarin ducks were clearly cut, but they were cut off by a knife; From now on, don't rely on the enemy, and the lovesickness will be wiped out. Cao Ping groaned lightly and chuckled: "I don't know who wrote this poem, and there is a lot of resentment in it." ”

"Indeed, at first glance, the anger is on the page." Chu Zhi said in agreement, with a smile on his face.

"I didn't let you come, to hear you praise this poem." Gao Shilin opened his mouth and whispered, "Jing Chun, what is the mystery?" ”

Chu Zhen smiled and didn't answer, just secretly stretched out a fist, opened five fingers in turn, and then slowly retracted.

"What are you looking at?" Cao Lu's voice sounded, and he seemed to be a little depressed, and when everyone looked at it, they saw Chu Jue carrying a lantern and slowly following behind Cao Lu, with a smile looming on his handsome face.

"Gongshan, what is the mystery just now?" Cao Ping asked knowingly: "But I don't know who won." ”

"The answer to the riddle is the wind, Wen Yu guessed it first." Cao Lu said, as if he was a little lost, and then he became excited, carefully watching the lantern riddle hanging in front of him, and intended to win back a game.

"What were you doing just now?" Moving two steps lightly, Cao Yaxin asked softly, her eyes were like water, and she seemed to be a little shy.

"What does Yue Gongzi mean by this?" Chu Zhen was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile, only to feel a fragrant smell around him.

"I'm pretending to be stupid again, thinking no one will see it." Cao Yaxin bit her red lip, stretched out her delicate and cute little fist, and compared it to Chu Qian's actions just now, her eyebrows were bent like the moon, her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, revealing a proud look.

"Yue Gongzi's eyes are like a torch, which is respectful." Chu Zhen chuckled: "Actually, this doesn't mean anything else, it's just that I felt a little weak in my wrist just now, so I moved it a little." ”

"Wrist movement? Do you think I'm going to believe it? Glaring angrily, her beautiful eyes looked forward slightly, Cao Yaxin's beautiful cheeks suddenly appeared a trace of crimson, and she said coquettishly: "Tell me the answer, I won't pursue you last time...... things. ”

Glancing at Gao Shilin, who was still thinking, Chu Zhen shifted his gaze to other places, but he whispered in his mouth: "One, two, three, four、......、 nine, ten." ”

"I see." After thinking for a moment, Cao Yaxin showed a sudden expression, looked at Chu Zhen shyly, and then stepped forward to hold Cao Yuan's slender hand, and said with a smile: "Sister Yuan, I already know the answer to the mystery." ”

"Then you can hear it." Cao Yuan said with a smile, but her eyes looked at Gao Shilin.

"The answer is the number one to ten, come downstairs, the golden hairpin falls, the next word falls, it is a word." Cao Yaxin explained in turn, her beautiful little face smiling brightly.

"Ah, it's so simple, why didn't I think of it." Cao Lu was remorseful and sighed again and again.

"Xiao Yue is still the smartest." Cao Yuan smiled and groaned, but glanced at Chu Zhen with a deep meaning, obviously the situation just now had fallen into her eyes, but unfortunately someone's reaction was too slow, Cao Yuan sighed faintly, and withdrew his gaze on someone.

"Caiqing, don't go and take down the lamp yet." Cao Ping smiled, patted Gao Shilin's chest, it seemed weak, but it was actually very powerful, and secretly complained in his heart, usually so clever, why is he so confused today, he can't even guess such an obvious reminder, it's really underwhelming.

"Oh, wait a minute." Gao Shilin was also extremely remorseful in his heart, took a few steps forward to the person guarding the riddle lantern, quickly said the answer, and then took down the lantern with a bamboo pole in the envious eyes of the onlookers.

"It seems to be more lively in front, let's go over and take a look." Receiving the lantern handed by Gao Shilin with a light hand, Cao Yaxin's eyes were crooked, like the moon's eyes shining brightly, revealing a bit of cunning and cuteness.

Of course, everyone had no objections, and slowly walked forward, deliberately approaching Gao Shilin, Chu Zhen comforted and said: "Caiqing, don't be discouraged, there is still a chance." ”

"I'm not discouraged, I'm jealous." Gao Shilin said hatefully, obviously he was his daughter-in-law, but he was smiling in someone else's arms, how could this not make him angry and depressed.

"Caiqing, they seem to be two sisters... Brother, you don't need to eat it. Chu Zhen paused, and couldn't help but smile.

"Don't pretend, you kid has a bright heart, how can you not find the slightest clue." Gao Shilin said in a low voice, muttering to himself in his heart, if the person holding his daughter-in-law was a man, no matter who he was, he would not complain secretly, I am afraid that he would not be able to hold back and step forward and beat him.

"Caiqing, what you said is really interesting, what clues can I find." Chu Zhen said with a chuckle, his eyes flickering.

"If Wenyu says so, I naturally believe it, and it's you Jing Chun." Despised Chu Zhen for a moment, Gao Shilin said leisurely: "Then I need to think about it carefully." ”

Between the words, everyone came to a lantern with a thousand silk knots to bind the weak bones, light ball Markham dress, broken red and white, cut wisps of flowers and thousands of eyes, a look like colorful clouds shrouded in the moon, jewels around the stars in front of the lantern, this finely made, beautiful lantern onlookers are more crowded, the sound of discussion and speculation is endless, but unfortunately no one can receive this lamp from the hands of the lantern keeper.

The beautiful woman pretended to be drunk and asked for help, revealing the white snow skin on her chest. Walking into the embroidery and not finding it, let him be full of wind and rain. As soon as he approached, Cao Lu couldn't wait to whisper the riddle of the Ten Thousand Eyes Luo Lantern.

"These few sentences are really thought-provoking, there is no hint at all, but I don't know what to guess."

"It may not be a thing, it may also be a bird or a beast, or a poem or song of a certain word."

"It may also be a metaphor for something, many possibilities, and the mystery is really difficult to solve."

"Who said no, I walked all over the lantern festival, and this lantern is the most exquisite, so this lantern riddle is also the most difficult."

Listening carefully to the voices of discussion around him, Cao Lu complained: "What these people say is not of the slightest use, but it disturbs my thoughts and makes it more difficult for me to guess. ”

"Who distracts you, solves the riddle of poetry, and the most important thing is to concentrate and not be influenced by others." Cao Yaxin said with a smile, intentionally or unintentionally pulling Cao Yuan to Gao Shilin and Chu Zhen's side.

Coughing lightly, he gave Gao Shilin a helpless look, and Chu Zhen said with a smile: "Listen to their words, this lamp must be the best among the thousands of lanterns here. ”

The words "Erhe Xing" are accented, but the words are very vague, if the listener does not pay attention to it, he will listen to the Xing as an immortal.

"What Jing Chun said is extremely true." As if he understood a little, Gao Shilin frowned lightly and thought about it seriously.

"Brother Jing Chun is quick to think, I don't know if I can get something?" Cao Ping said with a smile, looking very casual, but in fact, he secretly paid close attention to Chu Zhen's every move.

"It's still under scrutiny, looking at Caiqing's appearance, there should be occasional gains." Chu Zhi said with a chuckle, but he was a little helpless in his heart, he couldn't say it too plainly, only hinted at metaphors, as for who can understand his meaning the fastest, it depends on whose brain is spinning fast, if he can't think of it, he can't blame himself.

"I'm still thinking about it, wait a while, I should be able to crack it." Gao Shilin said with a smile, but the confidence seemed to be a little insufficient, and he clearly captured some clues vaguely, but he was almost separated by a membrane, and he couldn't guess.

"It's just a riddle poem, so why bother guessing." A loud voice echoed, and the tone seemed slightly arrogant and proud.
