Chapter 8 Lantern riddles

Shen Lianyue didn't know what happened to the second brother today. In previous years, he dragged him out with him. Today, I took the initiative to ask for it. Shen Lianyue couldn't refuse, so she had to come along.

"How can it be, Sister Shen is too worried!" Du Qin didn't want Shen Lianyue to be embarrassed, so he hurriedly responded.

Du Qinxin covered his face with a veil and walked forward with Shen Lianyue.

Shen Zhiwen noticed that he seemed to be deliberately alienating Du Qinxin, and he was stunned.

Today, Du Qinxin wore a pink and white brocade fur cloak, and Shen Lin Lianyue on the side was a feather-forged cloak embroidered with red peony. The two of them walking in the crowd inevitably attract attention.

Xu is because they are hiding their hearts, and they don't have the joyful atmosphere of previous years. This year is the Year of the Rabbit, and the lanterns are mostly in the form of rabbits.

As a group of them, they walked to a crowded shop, and all they could hear was the cheers of the crowd.

Shen Lianyue proposed to take a look, Du Qinxin is also a person who likes to watch lively, so the maids escorted the two and finally squeezed in, and found that it was a lantern riddle. Guessing lantern riddles is nothing new, everyone is curious about the colorful head!

Shen Lianyue also felt that it was delicate and rare. A jade carved rabbit, the size of a palm. The subtlety lies in the hollowing out of the inner rabbit body. A small red candle was placed. The candlelight flickered, and the rabbit seemed to be alive.

And the guessing method of this anagram is also novel. It's not the store out of the anagram, who wants to get this jade rabbit lamp, on the stage to accept everyone's challenge, if a pillar of incense within the time can be guessed, this jade rabbit lamp belongs to whom.

Du Qin felt that this store was afraid that it was only using this lamp as a gimmick, and there were so many people today! I'm afraid that no one can guess everyone's anagram in the time of a stick of incense.

"The boy on this stage is really amazing!" Said next to the lively.

Listening to the discussions of others, Du Qinxin also noticed that the son on the stage had about a finger long left in the incense.

"But there are still people who have a mystery, if not, I want to take a sip of tea and take a break!" I'm afraid that there are hundreds of anagrams in a row, and my mouth is dry.

Shen Zhiwen, who was next to the two, found Du Qinxin, who was staring at the jade rabbit lantern with his eyes shining, and took a step forward.

"At the sunset of the flag exhibition, the clouds fly south!"

Shen Lianyue and Du Qinxin looked at each other, and they were both shocked!

The people on the stage glanced at Shen Zhiwen and smiled! "Ji! Is the answer to the puzzle? ”

Shen Zhiwen placed his left hand on his waist and continued.

"Watch the sunset set to the west!"

"One!"

Everyone looked at the two handsome sons on and off the stage, you mention me guess, it's not exciting! Seeing that a stick of incense burned out, this jade rabbit lamp is estimated to be the son on the stage.

"A crescent moon and two or three stars!" Shen Zhiwen thought about Du Qinxin's gaze at the jade rabbit lamp just now, and said the last word puzzle.

The son on the stage thought for a long time, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Childe might have guessed?" The shopkeeper waited for a while, but the son on the stage answered.

"I can't guess this mystery! Dare to ask Brother Tai what is the riddle? "The son on the stage is also a gentleman, and he does not show displeasure.

Du Qinxin Shen Lianyue looked excited, but she didn't expect Shen Zhiwen to be so powerful when he didn't usually show his dew. Many Du Qinxin didn't guess it, she was a good guesser of lantern riddles.

Everyone is sorry for the son on the stage, and the jade rabbit lamp in his hand is gone.

Shen Zhiwen was invited to the stage by the shopkeeper, and when he told the riddle, he was the champion.

After Shen Zhiwen came to power, to everyone's surprise, he didn't tell the mystery, but only wrote the riddle on the hand of the boy with his finger!

"Take it in your heart!" The boy knew the riddle, folded his hands, and stepped back.

The shopkeeper did not insist on letting Shen Zhiwen tell the mystery and ordered someone to light a new incense.

"Sister Shen, I didn't expect your second brother to be a master of guessing!" Du Qin saw Shen Zhiwen on the stage guessing the anagram mentioned by everyone one by one.

"I don't know what's wrong with these two brothers today, in previous years, let's guess a lantern riddle, he said that we are boring! Now I'm catching up on my own! Shen Lianyue was also confused by her brother.

"On the bluestone on the side of the mountain, hold Qiubo with both hands!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

The person who came was dressed as a scholar.

Du Qinxin saw that Shen Zhiwen was a little embarrassed. Isn't it possible to pass by the jade rabbit lamp?

Shen Zhiwen thought about it, but he was not sure, looking at the people in the audience, if he guessed wrong, he was afraid that someone would be disappointed.

"Childe, have you thought of it?" The shopkeeper asked.

Du Qin, who looked anxious, covered his face with his hands, although he moved quickly, Shen Zhiwen still noticed it.

"Ding!" Shen Zhiwen told the riddle. Thinking back to Du Qinxin's small action of cheating just now, he pursed his lips and smiled.

"Good, good!" With the cheers of the crowd, the shopkeeper announced that the time had come. Take the jade rabbit and give it to Shen Zhiwen. Shen Lianyue looked at the jade rabbit lamp in her hand and was overjoyed.

"That's right, second brother! What is the mystery of a crescent moon and two or three stars? Shen Lianyue asked, playing with the jade rabbit lantern in her hand.

Du Qinxin was also curious about what the mystery was, why he didn't tell everyone, and stared at Shen Zhiwen with big watery eyes.

Shen Zhiwen didn't seem to guess when he saw Du Qinxin, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, did not answer, and strode forward.

Seeing this, the two smiled bitterly.

After walking around for a while, I saw that it was not early.

"Sister Shen, it's time for me to go home!" Du Qinxin said.

Shen Lianyue saw that Du Qin's heart was tired, and she didn't do much to keep it. Holding her hand and admonishing, "Be careful on the road, and I'll add makeup to you on the day you get married!" ”

Shen Zhiwen on the side suddenly heard Shen Lianyue mention this matter, and felt particularly harsh! Negative behind the back of the hand clenched.

Du Qinxin nodded, "Sister Shen, Second Brother Shen, I'll go back first!" He turned and got into the carriage.

He had only walked a few steps before the carriage was stopped.

Su Ling lifted the curtain and saw that it was the maidservant next to Shen Lianyue.

"Miss Du, my young lady asked me to give this to you!" The maidservant handed over the jade rabbit lantern won by guessing the lantern riddle to Du Qinxin.

"Thank you Sister Shen for me, it's just that this lamp was won by Second Brother Shen, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!" Du Qin remembered that Shen Zhiwen didn't want to see his appearance, and he was reluctant to give it to himself.

"The second young master agreed, and Miss Du accepted it! The slave and maid retired. With that, the girl left.

Du Qinxin was surprised. But looking at such a delicate and transparent jade rabbit lamp, I am very happy.

"Second brother! What's wrong with you today? Shen Lianyue always felt that this second brother was too abnormal. Just now, he actually proposed to give the jade rabbit lamp to Du Qinxin. Shen Lianyue thought the same way, but she was afraid that he would not be happy, so she didn't dare to mention it.

Shen Lianyue stared at Shen Zhiwen with an uncomfortable face, and her eyes widened. "Brother! You won't be..."

Shen Zhiwen didn't argue, shook off his robe and turned away.

Shen Lianyue was stunned, my brother's reaction, this is, this is true?

"My stupid brother, you said you, why did you go earlier!" Shen Lianyue said regretfully.

In fact, Shen Zhiwen didn't know what happened to him. Originally, I only felt that Du Qin's heart was too beating, and he didn't have the appearance of everyone's ladies. If it weren't for the fact that she and Du Minglang were classmates and friends, she really didn't want Shen Lianyue to have a close relationship with her.

But when I learned that she was given to marry Queen Rui, I would always think of her, and remember that I had not had much contact with her, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, and it felt like I had an incurable disease.

I didn't come today, but I still couldn't control my heart that wanted to see her. I saw it, and found that her smile was not as bright as before, and I felt very distressed.

Shen Zhiwen didn't dare to face his heart, he didn't dare to admit that he fell in love with Du Qinxin, the woman he didn't look down on in the past.

Rui Wang's Mansion.

"It's a pity! It's a pity! Xiao Yang, who was full of alcohol, returned to the Rui Wang's Mansion.

"Didn't Xiao Gongzi go to enjoy the lanterns, why did he come back soon?" Su Li held Xiao Yang when he walked.

"My son was defeated by a white-faced scholar today! It's really unpleasant! Why didn't I remember! ”

"Definitely, it must be that the wine in this capital is fake, and this son is confused..."Xiao Yang is the son who was defeated by Shen Zhiwen today.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang! You go and snatch the jade rabbit lamp back for this son! "I think I've drunk a lot of alcohol like this.

Xiao Yang staggered into Zhao Qirui's room.

"A crescent moon two or three stars! Prince, guess what the riddle is? ”

"Xiao Gongzi, Xiao Gongzi, you are drunk!" Su Li was afraid of disturbing the master's rest, and he didn't know who had offended this master today.

"If you don't tell the mystery yet, there must be some secret that you can't tell!" Xiao Yang's thoughts were a little confused, and he didn't know what to say.

Zhao Qirui, who was already resting, didn't want to pay attention to him, and ordered Su Liren to help Xiao Yang down to rest.

Xiao Yang saw that Zhao Qirui didn't guess, and he was entangled, and was finally dragged down.

Zhao Qirui is a person who practices martial arts, and he can detect the slightest movement. was so troubled by Xiao Yang, he had long lost his sleepiness.

"A crescent moon and two or three stars?" Su Li on the side was also curious, muttering in his mouth.

Zhao Qirui thought about it after Xiao Yang said the anagram, and his eyes narrowed.

"You go and find out who came up with this anagram!" Su Li was stunned for a long time, when did the prince become interested in word puzzles? Don't dare to ask more, you should leave.

This Xiao Yang was known to Zhao Qirui in his crusade against Fanbang a few years ago, and he had some talents, so he was left by Zhao Qirui's side. is a changeable temperament, a humble son, a prodigal son in love, Su Li doesn't know why the master keeps such a person by his side, it's not appropriate.

The injuries on his body are almost healed, and because of these injuries on his body, it is rare to have a few days of rest. He has led troops to fight outside for many years, and has trained a body that is not afraid of severe cold and heat. In the weather of the first month, I didn't burn the cage, I only got up from the couch in a bed, and I didn't feel cold.

Zhao Qirui thought about what the housekeeper told him today, and suddenly found that this marriage was such a troublesome thing.

He kept thinking that it was just someone to pick it up and throw it in the backyard, if it was a safe one, he wouldn't embarrass her. Otherwise, a sword solves it, so why bother to arrange it.

Zhao Qirui is twenty-two this year, and it is said that when he is young, he should have children. He didn't even have a side concubine, and if it wasn't for the emperor's marriage, I was afraid that he would have to wait for two years.
