Chapter 575: Lantern Festival (1)

On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, Sheng'an City is very lively, the street is full of colorful lanterns, the flow of people is like weaving, the restaurants and shops that are open are almost all set up lantern riddles for visitors to guess and play, and there are all kinds of color heads, waiting for everyone to win.

There are too many people on the street, and it is not very convenient to go out in a carriage, so the brothers and sisters of the Cen family chose to go out on foot, and each of them brought a close maid or Xiao Si.

Jingshuang took the initiative to give Yingxue the opportunity to go out to watch the lantern festival, and Yingxue felt that her eyes were not enough, and she looked left and right, and the expression on her face was more excited than Cen Xiyan.

Recently, Cen Hongyu has been strictly controlled by Cen Biao, and he hasn't gone out for a long time, but today he finally got the opportunity, and as soon as he went out, he soon disappeared.

Cen Hongyi just didn't see Cen Hongyu's escape, or he didn't bother to care about him, and took his other younger brothers and sisters to continue to visit the Lantern Festival.

Cen Hongmian is a concubine, and the eldest brother doesn't care about things, he naturally doesn't say much, his mouth moved, and in the end he didn't say anything, but sighed secretly in his heart.

Cen Xiyan traveled to this time and space for ten years, but it was the first time to spend the Shangyuan Festival in Sheng'an, although the Shangyuan Festival lantern festivals in various places are very lively, but at the foot of this Tianzi, the prosperous capital is still incomparable, so it is also interesting to watch.

In front of a stall selling gadgets, Cen Xiqin picked up a wooden doll, winked at Cen Xiyan, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, look! ”

Cen Xiyan glanced at the puppet, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cen Xiqin, and said lightly, "It's good." ”

Cen Xiqin grinned, put down the doll, and said, "It's not as good as the sixth sister's craftsmanship." ”

Cen Xiyan didn't hear the ridicule in Cen Xiqin's words, so he picked up a rouge box and fiddled with it, not answering her words.

Cen Hongmian on the side couldn't help but ask curiously, "Oh? Will the sixth sister still make a puppet? ”

"Of course, the sixth sister's hand, it's a coincidence!" Cen Xiqin raised his chin and said proudly. A face of honor and honor.

"Humph!" Without waiting for Cen Hongmian to say anything, Cen Xifen snorted coldly and interjected: "What's so great about being a puppet, it's just a craftsman's work, and he lowered his identity in vain!" ”

Cen Xiyan frowned, looked at Cen Xifen coldly, and felt very tired in her heart, this idiot, if she doesn't find some trouble for a day, she will be uncomfortable!

Cen Xifen looked at Cen Xiyan's extremely penetrating gaze, and somehow, her heart was a little weak, and her gaze involuntarily dodged.

Cen Xiqin also had a cold face, and said sharply to Cen Xifen: "Come out to see a lantern festival, you can't find it happy, it's a big holiday, you have to let me say something bad about you, you are happy?" ”

"Didn't I just tell the truth! Where to find it! Cen Xifen said stiffly.

"Okay, let's not say a word! No matter how noisy it is, go back! Cen Hongyi opened his mouth and spoke.

Cen Xiqin glanced at Cen Xifen and twisted his face.

Cen Xifen saw that Cen Hongyi's expression was serious, not a joke, and quickly shut up, she was still a little afraid of this lobby brother.

Their line of handsome men and beauties is very concerning, if it is really noisy, it will be lively.

When they walked to the entrance of Dongshi Street, they saw a large number of people in front of a jade shop, so they also surrounded them.

"Why are there so many people?" Cen Xiqin tiptoed and looked in curiously.

Someone next to him listened, and saw that a beautiful and cute rich girl was asking, so he replied kindly: "This Duobao Zhai has been open for 50 years this year, and this year's Shangyuan Festival Lantern Festival, the owner can come out with a heavy lottery, guess the top three lantern riddles, but they are all good jade!" It is not in the top three, and there are a lot of lottery heads, which is why so many people are attracted to guess the lantern riddles. ”

"Really?" Cen Xiqin's eyes burst out with excitement, and he asked again: "What kind of color are the top three?" ”

The enthusiastic man on the side: "Oh, miss, you see, the little jade pig in the center of the table is the first color head, the jade pendant next to it is the second color head, the hosta in the box is the third one, and the other gadgets on the table are also rewards for other people who guess the lantern riddle." ”

Cen Xiqin's eyes suddenly focused on the little jade pig on the table, and was attracted by the little pig's cute appearance, "It's so interesting!" Big brother, third brother, sixth sister, I want it! ”

"If you want to, then you can guess." Cen Hongyi said idly. There is no intention of helping at all.

"Humph! Guess what! Cen Xiqin was protected by the two elder brothers, squeezed to the front, and when he saw the hundreds of lanterns in front of him, he was a little dumbfounded, "So many ......"

"This young lady, are you interested in trying?" The middle-aged man who looked like a steward on the side asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'll try." Cen Xiqin nodded.

The man in charge asked a guy to prepare a pen and paper for Cen Xiqin, and asked her to write down the guessed answers in order.

Cen Hongmian looked at the itchy hand, and let the guy take it straight, and planned to give it a try.

Soon, Cen Xiqin came back with a bitter face, and complained to Cen Xiyan: "It's so difficult, I guess I'm out of play first......"

"Oh? How many can you guess? Cen Xiyan asked.

"About thirty of them." Cen Xiqin said depressedly: "It's not necessarily right or not, hey, it's up to the third brother." ”

Cen Xiqin is a very smart girl, but for this kind of lantern riddle game, she is still not very good at it, because lantern riddles are such things, considering not only the flexibility and literary brilliance of the brain, but also the experience of life, for example, the answers to some lantern riddles are common in life, but some pampered noblewomen and noble sons may not have seen it, and it is impossible to guess it.

After a while, Cen Hongmian also returned, and was still frowning, thinking about it.

"Third brother, how is it, how many have you guessed?" Cen Xiqin asked with a look of hope.

"There are more than seventy of them...... Cen Hongmian was also very dissatisfied with his results, and sighed: "This lantern riddle is indeed not simple, not only a lot, but also many questions are unheard of, the top three lottery heads, it is really not so good." ”

Cen Xihan also wanted to go up and show her hand, but now when she heard Cen Hongmian say this, she immediately dispelled her thoughts, how Cen Hongmian's writing is, she knows very well in her heart, even the third brother only answered more than 70 puzzles, in case her grades are not ideal, wouldn't it damage her reputation as a talented woman, but she will not do anything that may damage herself.

At this moment, a commotion erupted in the crowd, and everyone followed the sound.
