I only heard Luzhu continue: "In addition, there is a particularly difficult riddle to guess in this Lantern Festival, as long as you guess it, our host will directly reward eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver, and please actively guess." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud bang in the hall, and everyone couldn't stop being surprised.

Eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver?

Oh, this owner of the Penglou is really a big deal, a lantern riddle is directly rewarded with eight hundred and eighty-eight taels, it is really shocking, if you can answer correctly, then you can not directly become a rich man with a lot of money.

All of a sudden, everyone in the hall was excited, all of them were full of joy, and everyone was eager to try.

Seeing this, Zhi Zhao smiled faintly, and said to himself: "I haven't seen him for a few years, but this person's hakama and ointment temperament has not changed, eight hundred and eighty-eight taels?" It's really a big deal, I'm afraid that the princess will know about it, and she will kneel on the washboard directly......"

Cui Wenqing didn't hear the chatter in Zhezhao's mouth clearly, and hurriedly asked suspiciously: "Lady, what did you say?" ”

Zhi Zhao hurriedly restrained his smile and avoided answering: "It's nothing, husband, look, the Lantern Festival has begun." ”

Sure enough, at some point, a group of Jiao'e with feather fans in their hands flew in, all of them with bright eyes and bright teeth, and a long and plump body.

They danced in the accompaniment of the silk and bamboo orchestra, dancing lightly, their bodies were as light as swallows, their bodies were as soft as clouds, their arms were as soft as bones, and their dancing postures were like lotuses, but they danced the most famous "Neon Clothes and Feather Song".

It was the first time for Cui Wenqing to see this long-standing and legendary music composed by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.

A song of the square, the lantern riddle officially began, the green bamboo first took a carp lantern, looked at the text on it, smiled and said: "Guests, but listen, the first lantern riddle is: draw the round, write the square, there is it warm, not it is cold." Please type. ”

As soon as the words fell, Wen Gongzi, who was standing next to Cui Wenqing, immediately lit up his eyes, and said repeatedly: "There is an answer below: This is a 'day' word."

Lu Zhu smiled and said: "This son is really talented, yes, the riddle is a 'day' word." ”

As soon as he heard this, bursts of cheers immediately sounded in the hall, and Wen Gongzi clenched his fists triumphantly, pretending to be modest, but his eyes did not forget to look at Cui Wenqing, and he was provocative.

Cui Wenqing said with a smile that didn't care: "It's just a very simple question to send points, but I didn't expect him to take the lead." ”

Zhi Zhao glared at him and said, "I said it, but I rushed to answer, husband, you have to hurry up." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded and began to listen intently.

"Now for the second riddle." Green bamboo stretched out his hand, picked off a lantern woven into a fairy peach, looked at the words written on it, and recited loudly: "The Eastern Jin Dynasty is destroyed, and a person's name is called." ”

"There's an answer below." Almost at the moment when Luzhu's voice landed, the two voices were already speaking in unison.

Cui Wenqing raised his eyes and saw that it was a pretty woman who spoke up with him, and at this time, the pretty woman also looked at him, and her eyes were a little embarrassed.

As a man, you can't compete with a weak woman to answer questions, right?

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing raised his hand to the pretty woman and said, "The lady spoke first, and you can answer." ”

The pretty lady gratefully gestured to Cui Wenqing, and replied with a smile: "The answer to this mystery should be Sima Guang." ”

Lu Zhu smiled and said: "The lady answered well, it is indeed for Sima Guang." ”

After thinking about it, everyone understood the reason and immediately laughed.

The emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was originally surnamed Sima, the country was ruined, and the heirs of the royal family naturally all died, not Sima Guang.

However, now Sima Guang is also a secretary of the court, and his high power is quite trusted by the Empress Dowager, which has Peng Lou using Sima Guang's name to make up a lantern riddle, and there is a meaning of ridicule and contempt, aren't you afraid of making taboos?

On this side, Zhi Zhao shook his head and said with a smile: "My husband really knows how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and the good scoring question is actually handed over to people like this." ”

Cui Wenqing smiled leisurely: "Don't worry, lady, this riddle will definitely be more difficult in the future, at that time, you don't have to worry about how to answer, and it is also the time for me to score and beat Wen Gongzi." ”

Smile noncommittally and continue to listen to the riddles.

One after another lantern riddles were read out of the mouth of the green bamboo, and before I knew it, a full hour had passed.

At present, others don't care about the situation, just Cui Wenqing and Wen Gongzi, but the former answered two, and the latter answered four, which was twice as leading.

Seeing that he had such an advantage, Wen Gongzi was inevitably a little complacent, and sneered at Cui Wenqing and said, "Cui nerd, how is it now?" I'm twice as far ahead of you, so just wait to pour me tea and kowtow to admit your mistake. ”

Cui Wenqing said with a smile that didn't care: "Aren't there two riddles left, and I know that I can't turn defeat into victory?" When the time comes, it must be the son who apologizes and admits his mistakes. ”

Wen Gongzi snorted coldly, but he didn't bother to argue with him and continued to listen to the riddles.

In the middle of the hall, Lu Zhu smiled and said: "Everyone, there are still two lantern riddles left in the end, here the slave family reminds everyone first, the last two lantern riddles are very difficult, and each person only has one chance to answer, and please be able to think clearly before answering." ”

After that, she walked to the northernmost end of the hall, picked off one of the peacock lanterns, and recited aloud: "Listen, everyone, this lantern riddle is: solve the three autumn leaves, can bloom February flowers; Thousands of waves across the river, into the bamboo ten thousand poles oblique. Please guess something. ”

The words fell, this time the guests did not scramble to answer as they did at the beginning, everyone was frowning and contemplating, which was obviously quite difficult.

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing smiled and said to Zhi Zhaoyan: "Did the lady guess what the lantern riddle is?" ”

Zhi Zhao chuckled and said: "I have only loved dancing knives and guns since I was a child, but I am not good at the games of these literati, don't count on me." ”

"Hehe, speaking of which, I didn't expect you."

"Oh, then what do you ask me for?"

Cui Wenqing replied with a smile: "Because I know you can't answer, I want to find a sense of accomplishment in you." ”

Zhi Zhao didn't understand the meaning of Cui Wenqing's words, but he saw that Cui Wenqing had already spoken: "This young lady has already thought of the answer below." ”

Little sister?

It's a little weird to call it like this, and Lu Zhu smiled and asked, "If Childe guesses the answer to the riddle, it's okay to say it." ”

Cui Wenqing said in a deep voice: "If you guess correctly, the answer should be "wind". ”

"Wind?" The guests were stunned for a moment, then they all thought about it seriously, and immediately sighed.

Yes, there is only wind in the world, which can blow down the autumn sunset leaves, blow the flowers of spring, and stir up thousands of waves when sweeping the long river, but entering the bamboo forest can make thousands of bamboos tilt.
