Lin Zhao was very curious about his life experience, but his uncle Gu Qi always pushed back and refused to say more. It's not easy to ask questions for the New Year, so I have to give up!

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the "family" gathered together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, with the gourmand Lin Zhao, the first-class cook Gu Yuelun was there, and the Meng family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was rich and delicious, absolutely incomparable.

Lin Zhao's words are humorous, Meng Ruoying is knowledgeable, Gu Yuelun is well-behaved and cute, and there are two more babies, which makes several elders very happy.

Throughout the New Year's Festival, Lin Zhao didn't go anywhere, he stayed at home to accompany his relatives, and often went home to see that this was also of great significance in ancient times.

Until the fifteenth Shangyuan Festival of the first lunar month, there was a grand lantern festival by the Qinhuai River, and at the suggestion of Mrs. Meng, Lin Zhao took Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun out to enjoy the lanterns to see if the legendary Qinhuai River is really boundless...... The evening breeze blows, and it is still cold, but it can't stop people's excitement and enthusiasm, and they all go out to play one by one.

The Shangyuan Festival was a very important festival in the Song Dynasty, and its liveliness even surpassed that of all other festivals. Originally, the festival was a joy or two, but Song Taizong issued an edict to give permission, and the officials and people enjoyed the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival to celebrate five days.

In other words, for five whole days of joy, it is no exaggeration to say that the Shangyuan Festival is already a carnival of the Song Dynasty. Cities all over the country are brightly lit and lively, and the people are playing to their heart's content...... Last year, when Lin Zhao crossed the rebirth, it was already the first day of the second month of February, and he missed the Shangyuan Festival. He used to be a nerd and didn't go out very often. After being reborn, he was busy with the affairs of the Meng family, and then set off for Bianjing, although he grew up in Jiangning, Lin Zhao seemed to be a little unfamiliar with the city...... Now that we have the opportunity, we must take a good look at the prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River, and as for the famous place of eternal romance - Qinhuai River, it is a must-go...... In the evening, I went out with two beauties, walked on the street, and from time to time ushered in the envious eyes of others. Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun are both beautiful women, hugging left and right, the blessing of all people!

The Qinhuai River originates in Baohua Mountain in Jurong and flows through Jiangning City from east to west. During the Six Dynasties, it was the residence of the major famous families, where merchants gathered, literati gathered, and Confucianism flourished.

After the Sui and Tang dynasties, after the fall of the Chen State in the Southern Dynasty, the land of Jinling gradually declined, but Yangzhou became the first metropolis in the southeast because of the rise of the Grand Canal. There are many historic sites in Jinling, so it attracts many literati to pay their respects, sighing "In the old days, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people", and sighed that "the merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flower in the backyard across the river".

Since the Southern Tang Dynasty was the capital of the Five Dynasties, Jinling has gradually recovered. In the Song Dynasty, Jiangning Mansion became a big city in the Yangtze River Basin, the first metropolis in the southeast, and the Qinhuai River also became the cultural center of the south of the Yangtze River. It is a well-deserved area of the smoke and moon of the Six Dynasties, a place where gold dust gathers.

On the Shangyuan Festival, the people who came to see the lights were endless, and when Lin Zhao and the two beauties arrived, the riverside was already bustling with tourists.

When Lin Zhao saw the beautiful scenery in front of him, he was amazed. At this moment, the flower boats on the Qinhuai River come and go, the lights are red and green, all kinds of lanterns reflect on the water waves, and the water and air are full of brilliance, exquisite and beautiful. The original lights are different from the modern light night scene, especially in such an emotional water town, which is even more agile and charming...... "I can't imagine it is so lively!" Lin Zhao was intoxicated for a long time and couldn't help but sigh. The Song Dynasty was really prosperous economically, the people lived a rich life, and the Qinhuai River really deserved its name.

Gu Yuelun said: "It's like this every year, it's just that my cousin didn't go out often when he used to study, and he didn't browse!" ”

"Hehe, then I have to watch enough ......tonight" Lin Zhao smiled: "Okay, whatever you like tonight, just buy it, it's all my ......"

"Hey, why are you being generous today?"

Lin Zhao didn't say a word, grabbed the jade hands of the two beauties and left, Meng Ruoying was suddenly a little embarrassed, and after a while, she got used to it, and even enjoyed it a little...... The two beauties relaxed a lot, and soon they were attracted by the different shapes and unique shapes of the lights on both sides of the street. For Lin Zhao, who is accustomed to the night scene of the modern city, the ancient lantern exhibition has a special taste...... The three of them shuttled through the crowd like this, and they had all kinds of joy...... As we walked, the water in front of us was suddenly blocked, and many people were all waiting around the river, and a flower boat with red lights hanging high happened to be moored here.

"What's going on up front?" Gu Yuelun was very curious!

"It's Miss Mu, Miss Mu's flower boat, all around guessing lantern riddles!" Someone next to him gave the answer.

"Miss Mu?" Lin Zhao was quite curious, and it sounded like he was very famous.

A man next to him said disdainfully: "I don't even know Miss Mu's name, is it still a man?" ”

"Uh......" I can't afford to hurt the crowd, Lin Zhao was suddenly full of black lines.

I only listened to the man: "Miss Mu Sihong is the head of Jiangning, with the appearance of sinking fish and geese, closing the moon and embarrassing flowers, how many princes and grandsons are rare to see." However, in the past two years, Miss Mu will park the boat on the Qinhuai River during the Shangyuan Festival, and make a few lantern riddles, if anyone guesses, they can board the boat to see the beauty, and Miss Mu may also play the piano to entertain guests......"

"Really?" Lin Zhao was stunned! The so-called head of the line is the outstanding girl, of course, there are some girls who do not sell their bodies, generally speaking, only the name can be called this, similar to the so-called Oiran in later generations.

Then, the identity of Mu Sihong is self-evident, I think it should be a romantic figure in Jiangning's Huanchang...... "Who doesn't know Miss Mu's name in Jiangning Mansion?" Why else would so many people come? It's a pity that few people can guess Miss Mu's lantern riddle every year...... It seems that this year is like this again......" The man sighed as he spoke, regretful.

Lin Zhao was thinking, isn't this the ancient version of celebrity hype? Ancient names like to associate with talented people, and if the situation is good, they can win the reputation of a talented woman...... It's hard to say how beautiful this Mu Sihong is, it is estimated that she has a bit of talent, is she raising her value by such means?

"What kind of lantern riddle? Cousin, can you guess? "Gu Yuelun is only a teenager, and he asked quite naïvely.

"What's so hard about that? I just didn't have much interest......"

"How can anyone guess Miss Mu's lantern riddle?" The implication was to despise Lin Zhao a little, and continued: "It's up to Gongzi Chen, I don't know if he can ...... it."

When I turned around, I saw a handsome young man in a brocade robe standing on the shore, clean and tidy, and looking good. But it vaguely gives people a weird, unapproachable feeling. This person looked arrogant, Lin Zhao and Meng Ruoying both had a feeling, this person seemed to be familiar.

The brocade-robed man was disturbed by the noise here, and when he looked back and saw Lin Zhao and Meng Ruoying, his calm eyes couldn't help but move slightly, a little surprised. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and although he tried his best to control it, he still couldn't hide the deep hatred...... At that time, I happened to hear Gu Yuelun shouting to let Lin Zhao guess the riddle, and the brocade-robed man's eyes suddenly closed slightly, almost narrowed into a line, and looked at Lin Zhao and the others coldly...... After thinking about it for a while, he smiled and said, "What's the meaning of guessing lantern riddles alone, it's best to have a companion, seeing that this brother seems to be eager to try, why don't you guess the riddle with you?" ”

"This ......" Lin Zhao himself is more interested, but unfortunately he was not ashamed to say it just now, if he retreats now, it will inevitably make people ridicule and brag...... And this brocade robe boy, guess it yourself, why do you have to show off and involve others? I already had a bad impression of him, but now I am even more disgusted, but the request seems to be impossible to refuse...... "Under Chen Hong!" ”

"Lin Zhao!"

When greeting, Lin Zhao obviously felt the hostility in Chen Hong's eyes, it was the first time he met him, there should be no festival, why not?

"My cousin's name is Chen Xuan......" Chen Hong lowered his voice and said in his ear, and Lin Zhao instantly understood.

Chen Xuan killed Meng Ruogu and falsely accused Meng Ruoying, killed and falsely accused him of reversing, the crime was heinous, and the Criminal Department has decided to execute him...... If this is Chen Xuan's cousin, it would not be strange to target him, it is really a narrow road!

"My brother was defeated by you, should I save some face for him?" Chen Hong suddenly said loudly: "This Lin Gongzi said that he would fight with Zai Zuo and guess the lantern riddle together......"

"You ......"

As soon as the words came out, a group of cheers in the crowd suddenly came, and Mu Sihong's lantern riddle couldn't be guessed, which made people feel uneasy. Now the two of them are going to use this as a pounce, and everyone is suddenly interested.

pounced, gambling also, the Song people are good at gambling, such a plot is pleasing to see.

"What? Don't dare? Seeing that Lin Zhao didn't move, Chen Hong was even more aggressive.

"Vexatious!" Lin Zhao was very angry at this kind of behavior, it was simply inexplicable, but he did not refuse...... Since it is a pounce, there must be a color head, Chen Hong said: "If you lose, call grandpa three times in public, and then learn how about a dog barking and crawling three laps?" ”

Many onlookers frowned, why is this Chen Gongzi so rude? Of course, there are also people gloating, who made Lin Zhao say it just now, "self-righteous", and some people coaxed with the mentality of watching the excitement...... "Do you think I can't guess?" Lin Zhao forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and looked at the other party coldly.

"Cousin, he's too much of a deception!" Gu Yuelun saw that Chen Hong and the others had bad intentions, and couldn't help but be a little worried.

"If you don't dare, it can only mean that someone is a bad breed, a useless nerd!" Chen Hong looked arrogant, he was confident in his talents, thinking that he had eaten Lin Zhao, and added: "You guess first, if you guess first, even if I lose, what?" ”

"Cousin, don't worry," Lin Zhao comforted, turned around and said, "The radical method may not be effective...... What if I guessed correctly? Lin Zhao had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was confident.

"Let him learn too......" Gu Yuelun is a little girl after all, with a thin face, and she can't say some cruel words.

Lin Zhao shook his head lightly and said: "I don't want to recognize a dog grandson, so let's do it, if I guess correctly, it will prove that I am better than you, how about seeing me in the future?" This requirement is really too much for a scholar like Chen Hong.

The Song people are good at gambling, and when they saw two scholars doing fluttering, they gambled on Mu Sihong's lantern riddles, and they came over to watch. Everyone has preconceived that Mu Sihong's lantern riddle is difficult to guess, and Chen Xuan is famous, so he may have a chance. Ke Lin Zhao...... I'm afraid that eighty percent will lose.

Chen Xuan took this as a bet and asked others to learn how to bark, which is really not authentic.

On the other hand, Lin Zhao is more civilized, but he is not weak. Dare to let people meet the teacher, could it be that he is really sure to guess Mu Sihong's riddle? The difficulty makes many people shudder...... The cold wind is blowing, Qinhuai is windy, and the funny story has just happened......
