Chapter 182: Eating moon cakes and admiring the moon
The answer is actually very simple, although Rong Heng hasn't figured it out yet, he always feels like it's funny.
He smiled and turned his gaze to Gu Tianran, as if expecting it.
"I've been guessing for a long time, can the girl guess correctly, does she have a favorite answer in her heart?"
Gu Tianran shook his head, very depressed and looked at the unsolvable poem: "Can you not urge me, it's really not easy, I have to guess again." ”
"Yes, yes, the old man won't force you, you guess slowly, and then tell us the answer if you guess correctly."
From April to early May, the window paper was scratched and pasted, and her husband had been in Beijing for three years, and there was no word in the letter.
Among them, there are four flavors of Chinese medicine, which are the four flavors...... Gu Tianran didn't know how to use medicine.
Originally, I had a few answers in my heart, but I didn't feel right when I thought about it, and my mind was completely chaotic.
She couldn't even guess this kind of lantern riddle, and felt a little stupid.
The level of these two lantern riddles is simply not at the same level, and the four flavors of Chinese medicine are too difficult to guess.
The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, Gu Tianran actually asked Rong Heng beside him for help, how to say that he was also a fox spirit who had lived for thousands of years, this kind of lantern riddle should not be difficult for him.
However, Rong Heng refused directly.
It's not that he doesn't want to help, he doesn't know much about it himself.
"Your Highness...... Can't your brain turn a corner? Gu Tingran felt that this sentence seemed to be scolding him intentionally or unintentionally.
It's not that she's stupid, even Rong Heng doesn't know this answer, let alone her, it's not easy.
She really wanted it, but she really couldn't help it, and neither of them could think of an answer.
Maybe she will be able to guess it after a while, but the boss also has to do business, and it is impossible to wait for her not to let the people behind her guess the riddle.
Although Gu Tianran didn't want to give up, he couldn't help it: "Forget it, Your Highness, the two of us are not very familiar with traditional Chinese medicine, how can we guess this, let's go." ”
"Let's go? You just gave up so easily? Rong Heng looked at her with a smile, it was rare to see her so depressed.
Gu Tianran said helplessly: "Well, now my mind is full of paste and tofu, and I don't have a clue at all." ”
"Giving up is punishable, the king has already told you clearly, are you sure you have to give up?"
"Well, no matter how His Highness punishes me, I admit it, anyway, I just can't guess this answer, it's a big deal to deal with His Highness after I go back, I don't want to be embarrassed here." Gu Tianran pouted, very depressed.
"You don't have to go back to deal with it, this king is here to tell you, if you can't guess this answer, you won't be allowed to eat and go hungry for the next few days."
This is too ruthless, and she is not allowed to eat.
Hearing Rong Heng say this, Gu Tianran suddenly panicked: "Don't be, Your Highness, your way of punishment is inevitably too ruthless." In this way, I will go back and make you a locust cake, a very, very delicious locust cake, or something else, can Your Highness be merciful to my men? ”
Her favorite thing to do in her life is to eat and sleep, the world's food is her favorite, if she is not allowed to eat, she will definitely go crazy.
And because of her pregnancy, she wants to eat every day as long as she is free, and if she doesn't eat, she feels hungry, if Rong Heng really does this, she will die sooner or later.
Rong Heng felt that this condition was good, and there was only good and no harm to him, so he chuckled and said: "This is what you said, but you are not allowed to go back, just by virtue of your words, this king can be merciful to your subordinates." ”
Great, he actually agreed.
Although Gu Tianran was a little disappointed because she didn't guess the riddle, she could only do this, she said to the boss: "I'm really sorry uncle, your riddle is too difficult, and the two of us didn't know the answer after thinking about it for a long time." ”
Just as she said this, a whisper suddenly came from behind her: Banxia, Fengfeng, Angelica, Angelica.
She turned her head to look behind her, but there was no one behind her, and she didn't know where the voice came from.
Banxia, parsnip, angelica, angelica, this is not the name of traditional Chinese medicine, it just happens to be the four flavors, is this the answer to the riddle?
"Actually, it's very simple, if you don't guess carefully, maybe you can find the answer." The owner of the riddle is still trying to keep them.
Gu Tianran bit his lip, and then said to the boss, "I...... I just guessed it, but I just don't know if the answer is correct. ”
Everyone present suddenly became interested and turned their eyes on her, all wanting to know the answer to this riddle.
They have been standing here for a long time, but they have never guessed half a word, and some have only guessed the name of one or two Chinese medicines.
"What you just said was serious?" Rong Heng looked surprised.
I obviously said I couldn't guess it before, and I was about to leave, but suddenly I guessed it again.
Gu Tianran looked at him, a little unconfident: "I suddenly guessed it, but it's not necessarily correct or not." ”
From April to early May, the window paper was scratched and re-pasted; The husband has been in Beijing for three years, and he has not written a word in the letter.
This is a poem about a resentful woman, once upon a time, there was a woman whose husband left home for three years and did not return. In the spring and autumn of three years, the evil wind hit the door, and the cold rain knocked on the window. It was already a melting day, only to think that the window paper should have been pasted, and the poor infatuated woman looked at her husband in the capital with a heartfelt hanging, calculating the time when he left home, and dreaming of reunion. Wait, wait, wait, but what I hope to come is a wordless disgust. ”
"According to the interpretation of this poem, the four lines of the poem represent four herbs: banxia, parsnip, angelica, angelica, right?"
"You can guess it, it's amazing."
The boss of the riddle heard the answer and praised again and again: "Yes, yes, the answer is these four flavors of Chinese herbal medicine, the girl is really amazing, you are still the first person to guess my riddle, in this case, I also believe in my word, and give the prize to the two." ”
As soon as the words fell, he handed over the things to Gu Tianran's hands.
It seems that the answer is indeed these four flavors of Chinese medicine.
Gu Tianran happily dangled in front of Rong Heng with his things, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect to go around and around, I still got the things, I can still do it, Your Highness." ”
"Well, he is clever and clever, and he has won the heart of this king." Rong Heng saw that she was happy, and he felt happy.
"Congratulations to this girl and son, the things have been sent out, and there is no need for me to continue to put this riddle on the table. I wish you all a happy and safe reunion, and we will see you next year. ”
After the boss left, the crowd of onlookers also left.
Gu Tianran carried the red carton and said very happily: "Childe, we are a little tired after shopping for a long time, why don't we go to the gazebo in front of us and sit down and eat the contents of the box." ”
"What's so good about it?" Rong Heng looked at the box with great disdain.
"Why is it not delicious, this is a moon cake, alas, it tastes sweet and soft, very glutinous and delicious, and today is a holiday, isn't it just to eat this thing?"
Rong Heng shook his head, he said that he wouldn't eat anything: "Anyway, I don't want it, if you really want to eat, we can go to a nearby restaurant and order a few drinks and dishes, isn't it better than this strange thing?" ”
But Gu Tianran disagreed: "No, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, we just want to eat moon cakes and admire the moon, we can go to this restaurant at any time, but the Mid-Autumn Festival is only once a year." ”
Rong Heng was very dissatisfied with her decision, but had no choice but to agree: "Okay, it's up to you." ”
Originally, I wanted to invite her to a decent Manchu and Han banquet, but since she didn't want to go to the restaurant, she would find a place to eat moon cakes.
Rong Heng has always been used to being lavish, and it is the first time that he has been taken to such a humble place to eat such cheap things.
However, this person is Gu Tianran, and he has to bear it silently.
If she wants to change to Zhao Yaoji, she will definitely not agree like this, sometimes Rong Heng feels that Zhao Yaoji is another self.
Zhao Yaoji has never liked these cheap and old things, if the fox clan also has a Mid-Autumn Festival, like today, she will never find a place to sit and chat with Rong Heng casually.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the full moon hangs in the sky.
At this time, there was a commotion by the lake, and a round moon hung in the distant dark sky, and the moonlight was charming.
There were many people by the lake, some were standing, some were sitting on the ground, Gu Tianran ran over to take a look, there was no open space for a long time.
The people of the Windy Country are as simple as her, buying some things, sitting by the lake, eating and admiring the moon, and chatting.
There was no place to sit, Gu Tianran walked around with the box and didn't know what to do: "What should I do, Your Highness, the lake can't accommodate our two big Buddhas, and they won't even leave us a place." ”
"Don't worry, this king has a way." After Rong Heng finished speaking, he turned around and left this place.
Gu Tianran originally wondered what he could do.
He walked over to a young couple, muttering something strange to them, only to see the couple get up from the grass and go somewhere else.
The moonlight was hazy, he turned to look at Gu Tianran, his eyes were full of affection and tenderness, this moment was very beautiful.
He waved his hand to Gu Tianran and motioned for her to come here.
Gu Tianran was puzzled in his heart, people sat in that place decently and didn't provoke him, what did he discuss with others, and they would willingly give up their positions.
"Your Highness, what did you just say to them?"
Rong Heng knew that she would ask, and naturally she would not use any conspiracy to force others to leave, and the two couples just now were completely voluntary.
He wiped the place where he was sitting with a handkerchief, and his eyes were full of smiles: "It's nothing, as long as there is money and nothing bad to do, this king took some money to give them away, and they naturally obediently gave up their positions." ”
After Gu Tianran heard this, he was a little speechless for him.
Sure enough, as he said, there is no money in this world that cannot be done, whether in modern times or in such a world.
You can't do anything without money, but you can really do whatever you want with money.
Although he didn't say exactly how much money he took, Gu Tianran knew that the money was definitely not a small amount, otherwise others would not give up the position he had worked so hard to occupy.
Sure enough, it's a vixen, and it's really tricky, and you can really come up with any way.
However, as long as he occupies a position, it is good, and Gu Tianran does not blame him for his wealth, but feels that it is okay for him to do this, and it is a fair deal.
With a smile on her face, she placed the box in front of her and began to open the contents.
This lake can see the best moonlight in the windy country, and the moon hangs in the sky at this time, like a crystal clear mooncake.
A thin layer of white mist drifted around the lake, and the cold water rattled in the lake, and the sound was crisp and moving.
There are also autumn chrysanthemums on both sides of the strait, red, yellow and white colors, the breeze blows from time to time to drift a fresh and elegant chrysanthemum fragrance.
Eating moon cakes and admiring the moon in this place is really beautiful, and it is not only many times more splendid than other places.
And with such a lively scene during the Mid-Autumn Festival, how boring it is to stay at home alone, it is better for everyone to sit here together, eat something and chat.
Gu Tianran really likes the atmosphere at this moment: "It would be great if it could be like this all the time!" ”
Inadvertently glimpsed Rong Heng's side face, he looked up at the full moon hanging high in the air at this time, the breeze gently blew the long hair in his ears, and Gu Tianran's heart suddenly thumped twice.
He looked at the moon and suddenly smiled, Gu Tianran saw this scene and almost fell.
"If you think, we can always be like this, since you like this place so much, why don't I buy a house here another day, what do you think?"
As soon as the words fell, Gu Tianran thought that he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "Huh? What His Highness said is serious? ”
"Well, if you think we can buy a house here."
Oh my God, sure enough, rich people are different, they have a lot of money, they buy a house when they say they buy it, and they don't even blink an eye.
But this incident surprised her, Rong Heng was so generous, but she really didn't dare to ask for this kind of thing.
Gu Tianran was afraid that Rong Heng would take it seriously, so he hurriedly refused: "No, Your Highness, it's useless for us to buy so many houses." ”
She doesn't dare to accept ordinary people's things, let alone a person who likes her, when a woman accepts a man's things, it means that she wants to have a relationship with him.
actually said that this kind of life is very beautiful, and she also wants to buy a house by the lake and sit and eat and watch the moon like this, but if it is given to her by Rong Heng, she resolutely does not want it.
She is not without hands and feet, she can wait until she saves money in the future and buy it for herself.
"How could it be useless?"
Rejected by her, Rong Heng seemed to be very unhappy in his heart: "As long as you want it, you can buy it, and you have to live in a house, how can it be useless?" ”
In fact, he understood that Gu Tianran's implication was that he didn't want to accept his kindness, and he really didn't want to accept gifts from him.
"Our Sansheng Hall is so big, there are so many courtyards and rooms, I can't live so much even if I live every day, and this place is just used to see the scenery, Your Highness don't spend money, besides, I don't have time to come here every day to admire the moon."
Of course, this kind of thing can't be rejected head-on, otherwise with his temperament of dying to save face, he will definitely argue with himself again, so she has to say this.
And she really didn't have time, Lu Wushu ordered so many things for her store, if she couldn't deliver them on the appointed day, she would be finished.
So after today, she will stay in the store and make things.
However, these words caused Rong Heng to be strongly dissatisfied: "I don't have time, how busy you say is every day, and isn't it enough for you to call so many small people in the store?" What are you busy with all day? ”
And now she is still pregnant with a child, so he is very distressed about being busy inside and out, back and forth.
Although he knew that Gu Tianran didn't want this child, he naturally wouldn't pay attention to his body, but Rong Heng cared.
