Jiuhuang pulled his thoughts back from the memories.

The three words 'City God's Temple' suddenly appeared in the eyes of Jiuhuang.

It turned out that he had unconsciously walked here, looking at the temple in front of him, and an indescribable emotion surged in Jiuhuang's heart.

Ten years ago here, at that time I had just come to Beijing, both parents died, I was led by my father's deputy general in the Taoist Ministry of Rites Xu Yang's house, accepted as a righteous daughter, and later because of the relationship between my father, thanks to the mercy of the emperor and queen mother, I was given the title of county lord.

She unintentionally ran out of the Xu Mansion and came to the City God Temple, and then met him, the one who brought her a glimmer of light when her world was dark.

I haven't been here for ten years, I haven't been here for ten years.

When he stepped into this place again, the revenge of the family was avenged, but the person was gone.

Jiuhuang sorted out his thoughts, let out a long breath, looked at the gate of the City God Temple, raised his feet, and walked towards the steps.

"Let's go, let's go, wait until the mystery is all revealed, and we won't be able to get anything."

On the emperor street, the three or five young ladies trotted towards the front in pairs, and not far from them, there were a bunch of young ladies and young ladies around, and Jiuhuang who came out of the City God Temple looked at the people on the street suspiciously, not understanding what was happening in front of them.

Reaching out and grabbing a young lady who was just about to walk past her, he asked, "This young lady, I don't know what is happening ahead?" ”

The woman who was pulled looked at Jiuhuang, perhaps in a hurry to walk towards the crowded place in front of her, and said a little impatiently: "Don't you know? The front is guessing the lantern riddle. ”

After the woman's words were finished, she threw off Jiuhuang and pulled her skirt, and hurriedly trotted forward with the maid beside her.

Guess the lantern riddle, Jiuhuang thought suspiciously in his heart, I don't know what this is?

It's no wonder that Jiuhuang doesn't know how to guess lantern riddles. In the Celestial Empire, every moon festival, there will always be a link of guessing lantern riddles on the emperor street, and the sons and ladies of the various families who grew up in the emperor street naturally know, but for the nine phoenixes who have been living on Yunmeng Mountain with Yunmeng Zhenren and only occasionally returning to Beijing to take a few days in Xufu, they have not participated in the festivals that these daughters' families like at all.

Although I was curious about what kind of banquet the lantern riddle was, I didn't want to go and see these Jiuhuang who didn't like it.

At this moment, the little maid who likes to be lively also hurriedly ran towards this side, but when she saw Jiuhuang, she said happily: "Miss, you are also here, do you want to try the riddle too?" I heard that the person who won the first place in this year's lantern riddle can get a wooden flute. ”

Looking at the little girl with a smile in her eyes, her eyes flashed with brilliance, "Is this meeting really so fun?" ”

The first thing to guess the riddle is to get a wooden flute, what kind of wooden flute will make these people flock to it?

"Miss, you are on Yunmeng Mountain, you must not know that in previous years, when it came to the Moon Festival, the most lively thing on Emperor Street was to guess the lantern riddles."

The little maid said with a look of yearning but also a little mysterious.

But these were just a kind of banquet that she had never seen before, and they really didn't have any attraction to her.

"You go, I won't go, I'll go somewhere else and have a look."

In the end, Jiuhuang said to the little maid, looking at the little maid looking at her expectantly, how could Jiuhuang's heart not understand the little maid's thoughts, and the little girl must also want to participate.

When the little maid heard that Jiuhuang was reluctant to go, she felt a little disappointed in her heart, and said, "Miss, with your talent, you will definitely get the first." ”

Jiuhuang couldn't help but burst out laughing because the little maid was so sure of her, "You little girl, do you think you're spending poetry and books on your young lady?" ”

Although he has read poetry books, Jiuhuang also knows that the young ladies and sons of the various families in Shangjing are also full of wealth.

The little maid didn't agree with Jiuhuang's words, so she just listened to her: "Miss, you can try it, I heard that the person who gets the first place can not only get the wooden flute rewarded at the Lantern Festival, but there is also a mysterious thing behind it." ”

The little maid looked at Jiuhuang pitifully, and finally, under the insistence of the little maid, Jiuhuang followed the little maid to the place where the lantern riddle was guessed with the mentality of looking.

The Lantern Festival was already crowded with young ladies and sons from all over Beijing, and on the high lantern stand, there was an old man about fifty years old.

The old man looked at the crowd in the audience, and couldn't help but think in his heart, hoping that this time he could find that person.

"The annual lantern riddle of the Celestial Empire starts now, and we will only have three puzzles as in previous years, and this year we have deliberately increased the number of puzzles, of course, to get the first place, we have also relatively increased the reward, in addition to the wooden flute that we have announced that has been lost on the rivers and lakes for many years, there is another prize."

The old man said this, looking at the people under his eyes with a little bit of selling, and when everyone guessed what the increased reward was, the old man spoke again, and said: "Of course, the increased reward will only be made public when we send the reward, and the only thing the old man can reveal to you is that the increased mysterious reward will definitely not disappoint you." ”

Although I don't know what the bigger prize is, everyone is a little disappointed in their hearts, but then they are excited by the sudden increase in rewards this year.

Many young ladies in the audience began to move, looking at the old man on the stage, they couldn't help but say loudly, "Let's start the riddle!" ”

"That's right, let's start the riddle, I must win the first place."

After everyone's urging, the old man said with a smile: "Now the guessing of the lantern riddle begins, and we will announce the first puzzle below." ”

After the old man's words fell, two men dressed as small servants walked to the stage, holding a long painting in their hands, the scroll opened, and what fell into the eyes of everyone was a sentence: Mid-Autumn Festival chrysanthemum open. I didn't write anything after that.

The ladies in the audience looked at the words on the picture scroll and secretly guessed what this meant? It's the first time I've seen such a puzzle. In previous years, the lantern festival was either a couplet or a poem with paintings, but this year's puzzle has put everyone in a difficult situation.

The little maid crowded into the crowd, looked at the picture scroll in the stands, and then turned to look at Jiuhuang, and said, "Miss, do you know the puzzle above?" ”

Jiuhuang looked at the puzzle and thought about it a little in his heart and got the answer, and when he heard the little girl ask, Jiuhuang nodded.

Seeing Jiuhuang nodding, the little maid was happy in her heart and said, "Then why don't you guess that miss?" After finishing speaking, he secretly glanced at the surrounding Miss Gongzi who were still thinking, and then pulled the corner of Jiuhuang's clothes, signaling her to hurry up and solve the puzzle while these Miss Gongzi had not yet come up with it.

The little girl's thoughts, Jiuhuang had already seen it in her eyes, and then said loudly: "Spend the full moon." ”

Kindness? The young ladies in the audience couldn't help but raise their heads that were thinking about the puzzle, listening to the riddle of Jiuhuang, and the young ladies who were a little closer to Jiuhuang looked at Jiuhuang sideways, not understanding how she thought of this riddle at such a fast time, and whether this riddle was right?

On the stage, the old man was looking at the young ladies and sons in the audience thinking about the riddle, but he didn't expect it, but in an instant, someone guessed the answer to the riddle, and the old man's eyes patrolled the audience until his eyes stayed on Jiuhuang's body.

"This young lady is really good writing, congratulations to this young lady, answer the puzzle correctly and add one point."

When Jiuhuang heard the old man's words, he nodded politely and said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

The old man looked at Jiuhuang, with a little appreciation and admiration in his eyes, this year's puzzle was made by the master in a different way, if it weren't for the fact that he had already seen the riddle, the old man himself couldn't guess the riddle, but he didn't want Jiuhuang to guess it in an instant.

The old man looked at Jiuhuang with a smile and said, everyone in the audience heard that Jiuhuang's riddle was actually right, and they all looked sideways at her.

"I don't know how Miss guessed this riddle?"

This is what the old man wants to know now, and the puzzle that the master came up with this time is simply too difficult.

Hearing the old man's words, Jiuguang said modestly: "I can guess the answer to this problem by mistake, if there is any way to really lose me, it is that I guess according to every word in the puzzle, and then combined with today's moon and night festival." ”

When the old man heard Jiuhuang's explanation, he instantly understood, and the other people in the audience heard Jiuhuang's explanation and suddenly realized that they could solve the puzzle like this.

Not far from the Lantern Festival, a man in a light purple robe was watching what happened at the Lantern Festival, and when Jiuhuang solved the first puzzle, a trace of joy flashed on the man's face, but then after hearing Jiuhuang explain how he guessed the riddle, the joy on the man's face was then annihilated in his heart.

"Why did the Lord of Jiuhuang also participate in tonight's begging festival?" The guard who was standing beside the man to protect the man couldn't help but say.

Hearing the guard's words, the man in the purple robe did not speak, but seriously turned on the lantern festival.

Faced with the good or bad glances reflected on his body, Jiuhuang turned a blind eye.

At this time, the old man's voice sounded on the stage again, "Next, we will move on to the second question." ”

Similarly, when a hostile puzzle is played, after the old man's words fell, the two little guys took out a picture scroll, which also read: Shui Yue in hand.

With the answer to the previous question of Jiuhuang, everyone guessed the answer to the second riddle according to the method of Jiuhuang.
