Chapter 89: Guess the lantern riddle
What does it mean to have a narrow road?
Lin Zhao didn't expect to go out casually for a lantern festival, and he actually ran into an enemy!
Chen Xuan and Li Shitong/Annihilation, killing Meng Ruogu, and falsely accusing Meng Ruoying are all heinous crimes, and the execution of the crime is completely self-inflicted, and the crime is deserved.
But the Chen family wouldn't think so, and Chen Xuan's death was naturally counted on Lin Zhao's head.
Chen Hong is the son of Chen Qi of Qiantang County and Chen Xuan's cousin, and the two have had a close relationship since childhood. After Chen Xuan was imprisoned and executed, Chen Hong was very sad, and hated Lin Zhao very much, and always had the idea of revenge. But before that, for the sake of another important matter, I endured it for the time being.
Today, I met Lin Zhao just by accident, and it is really a narrow road!
Chen Hong's previous teacher was from Jiangning, and he had just celebrated his sixtieth birthday a few days ago, and it was appropriate for him to come to celebrate his birthday as a disciple, and at the same time, it was also to do a secret thing.
In Hangzhou, Chen Hong has a bit of talent, and his teacher is also a famous scholar in Jiangning.
Chen Hong's knowledge is barely good, as for his conduct...... This game is unexpected, and what people see is always only superficial. But there is one problem that can't be hidden, and that is lustful! In Hangzhou, I have had an affair with several famous people, and there are a lot of wind/rhymes.
I came into contact with Mu Sihong by chance, and then I exchanged letters and poems, and I loved it very much.
Of course, in the end, it's just a fireworks woman, and it's hard to say how really it is. However, when he heard that Mu Sihong was selling her art and not selling her body, and was struggling to keep her innocence, Chen Hong moved his mind to win the first place.
Of course, things can't be rushed, they have to be taken one step at a time. Take a look at the fragrance first, and then kiss the fragrance, and then you can enjoy it overnight.
It's a pity that Mu Sihong just didn't see him, which made Chen Hong's heart itch...... The only chance is the Qinhuai Lantern Festival, as long as you guess the lantern riddle, you will naturally meet.
How could Chen Hong let go of such an opportunity...... It's just that I didn't expect to meet Lin Zhao and his party unexpectedly...... The murderer who killed his cousin, Chen Hong hated it to the bone, although he had never seen it with his own eyes, but he had seen the portrait, so he recognized it at a glance...... As for the two women around her, it is naturally Meng Ruoying who has a beautiful temperament, and her cousin was bent on pursuing it, and it was a pity when she was dying. If you can find a way to get this girl here, it is good to be martyred for your cousin, and if you can't live with each other and die together, I think my cousin will be happy in another world...... Inside, Chen Hong is an extremely insidious person!
However, there is one thing that is barely straightforward, and I directly told Lin Zhao, I have a grudge against you...... Suddenly seeing Lin Zhao, Chen Hong's first thought was humiliation and revenge!
Anger and hatred haunted his heart, and he lost his mind a little, so his behavior was a little low-level and vulgar, as if he was joking. But the purpose has never changed, and he has a deep grudge against Lin Zhao...... Lin Zhao wrote a song "Dotting the Lips" when he was in Jiangning, which seems to be a bit talented, but guessing lantern riddles is another matter entirely. It needs to be more skilled, requires mixed knowledge and sensitive thinking, and there were many guessing masters in the Northern Song Dynasty...... Chen Hong has a lot of knowledge about this, and he is one of the best people in the lantern festival of Hangzhou West Lake in previous years.
Mu Sihong's lantern riddles are notoriously difficult, and she has to work hard to make mistakes, and she is not completely sure, so what can Lin Zhao do? can also let him help test the depths, Chen Xuan's wishful thinking in his heart crackled...... Chen Hong couldn't have imagined that his so-called broad knowledge was a complete fart compared with the electronic information age in later generations. As for skills, Lin Zhao's girlfriend in his previous life was from the Chinese department, and the word guessing puzzle was still an elective course, and Lin Zhao was often teased, and he knew a lot. Coupled with a criminal investigation background, can you not be sensitive to thinking?
Chen Hong deceived people too much, Lin Zhao was very angry! seems to be forced to fight, but in fact, it does not mean that it is not a pig and a tiger, which is fascinating...... There were many people around the Qinhuai River, all of whom were coming for Mu Sihong, and it was inevitable that they would be depressed if they couldn't guess the riddles. Now that he saw someone doing this, he was naturally full of interest, and his eyes all fell on Lin Zhao. Some people are full of expectations, while others think they are overwhelmed...... Meng Ruoying was standing next to her, and she probably knew what people were in Chen Xuan's family. She knew very well that Lin Zhao's unjustified disaster was completely caused by herself...... It's just that I don't know if he's good at guessing lantern riddles, so don't bother him because of this...... Gu Yuelun also noticed something unusual, and stood nervously on the side, watching Lin Zhao walk towards the river in full view of everyone...... An elegantly decorated flower boat docked on the shore, with red lights hanging high, blending with the starlight lights of the Qinhuai River. However, because of his identity as the owner, he has undoubtedly become the focus of Ambilight...... There are several unique lanterns hanging from the bow of the flower boat, and only one of them is lit, and under the light stands a pretty maid.
A good deed person has already explained: "Miss Mu's lantern riddle is above the red light, guess the first one, and the maid will light the back lights one by one and guess the next one." ”
"This year, Miss Mu's lantern riddles are more chic, all in the form of paintings, see? The mystery is above the lampshade! ”
Lin Zhao saw that under the soft light, the paintings on the lampshade were clearly visible. On the picture, a scholar is practicing calligraphy, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone are readily available, and on the unfolded paper, the words "Yonghe nine years, the age is in Kwai Chou" are completed in one go, and they are connected as a whole, which is Wang Xizhi's "Lanting Collection Preface".
This painting is a riddle, and the following is a Tang poem...... Everyone's eyes fell on Lin Zhao, but they didn't have much hope. In the past half an hour, there have been countless answers, but none of them are correct. As for that Chen Gongzi, he was still thinking about being interrupted by Lin Zhao's arrival...... The corner of Chen Hong's mouth sneered, Mu Sihong is really special, this lantern riddle really hasn't been guessed at first glance, and it needs to be thought about carefully. Shicai almost made a fool of himself, but fortunately, Lin Zhao appeared to temporarily relieve the siege, so he could have more time to think...... "How about it?" Did you guess this son? "There are not a few people who are cheering to see the excitement.
Lin Zhao looked at the red lantern and asked the maid under the lamp: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, the reunion, is your young lady missing her family?" ”
"Don't shake it, your pick-up routine is too outdated, isn't it?" When the words landed, someone immediately expressed disdain.
Lin Zhao didn't realize it, and said: "The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt, the dense sewing before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late, who is careless, I will repay Sanchunhui, and Miss Mu is also a filial daughter!" ”
"Don't mess around, did you guess this riddle?"
"By the way, this boy actually guessed right!" There was a quick response, and when he heard Lin Zhao's poem, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. Chen Hong chuckled in his heart, and his face instantly pale...... Someone immediately explained: "The people in the painting practice writing the Lanting characters are connected, and the Lanting preface is a line of books, that is, copying the line of books, and the words are connected to each other, isn't it a dense seam!" It is the sentence of 'close seam' in Tang Dynasty Meng Jiao's "Wanderer's Yin"! ”
With such an explanation, everyone suddenly became enlightened, and they all felt that there was some truth. Many people are annoyed, how can they not think that self-blame is so simple?
Chen Hong's face was very bad, Lin Zhao actually guessed correctly?
I saw the maid walk over and light the second red light, there is no doubt that Lin Zhao guessed the first question.
The Qinhuai River suddenly erupted with an earth-shattering shout, it has been two or three years, and finally someone guessed Mu Sihong's riddle, it is not easy!
It's just a blind cat touching a dead mouse, Chen Hong is still unwilling to admit defeat in his heart, and there is still ...... He realized that he had underestimated Lin Zhao, and as long as Lin Zhao guessed correctly, he would lose even if he was right, right...... The second lamp has been lit, and the painting is clearly visible under the shadow of the lamp. The attic water pavilion has a pool of clear water, and the bright moon in the sky is reflected in it.
While everyone was thinking about the answer, they all paid attention to Lin Zhao's actions. Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun were very nervous, Lin Zhao guessed the first one, so what about this?
I saw Lin Zhao sigh lightly, and stepped forward to say to the maid: "Tell your young lady that you don't want to cry and hurt your body!" ”
The maid's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lin Zhao in some surprise, and she couldn't speak...... "What are the words?" Did you guess it? Don't sell it! The crowd asked impatiently.
Someone next to him heard Lin Zhaozhi's words and said in surprise: "Shuangmu and January by the water, isn't it the word 'Lu' that brings tears to your eyes!" ”
Everyone suddenly realized...... I saw the maid light the remaining lamp and said, "There are three paintings on the four lampshades of this lamp, if the son guesses, write the answer on the remaining side, and the young lady will judge it herself!" ”
When everyone heard this, they immediately became interested, and Mu Sihong personally judged, presumably this third lantern riddle had a lot of articles, and their eyes were all attracted by the huge lantern.
The maid carried the red light and turned it in turn, and the first picture showed a plane tree, dotted with leaves above it, and it seemed to be raining a sparse light.
The second picture is a clear night, the full moon hangs high, and the osmanthus flowers bloom just right, it seems to be the Mid-Autumn Festival in August. From the direction of the leaves, there seems to be a breeze blowing, and a woman in the distance smells lightly, as if the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.
The scene in the third painting is above the river, and a lone sail is crossing the river. On the window of the side of the ship, a person looked out, and the remnant sun in the distance was like blood, half the river was sorrowful and half the river was red. On the small table in the window, a candle seemed to have just been blown out by the evening breeze, and there was still a wisp of green smoke.
After the maid turned around, she said, "The young lady has instructed, this is an anagram, please answer the son!" ”
"Miss Mu's lantern riddle is really chic!"
"The artistic conception is very beautiful!" Everyone commented that in previous years, they had seen the riddles behind them, but now they were eye-opening and couldn't help but be amazed.
"But no, you look at the three paintings, and the rain falls on the sycamore...... Enjoy the wind, the moon, and the cinnamon...... A river flows alone, and the candle flame is extinguished to reflect the remnant sun......"
"Miss Mu said that this is an anagram, what is it?"
"Alas, looking at the painting, Miss Mu seems to be in a depressed mood, lonely sycamore, lonely sail in the distance, candle flame remnant sun...... This ......"
For a while, the Qinhuai River exchanged ears, and there were different opinions, of course, the core was still the mystery of the three paintings.
Chen Hong was even more nervous, he finally figured out a problem - because Tuoda had bypassed him. If Lin Zhao guessed correctly, he would lose; If he can't guess it, can he guess it? Maybe he could have guessed, but at the moment he was nervous, where could he concentrate on thinking? Or will it be humiliating...... Of course, if you don't guess correctly, that is, you don't win, the situation is better. If Lin Zhao guessed correctly, then he would have failed miserably...... How can there be a feeling of being cocooned and self-inflicted?
I saw Lin Zhao walk to the side of the boat and say to the maid: "Girl, take the palace lamp to see your young lady!" ”
"But Childe hasn't answered yet?"
"That's it? What's going on? ”
Lin Zhao shook his head lightly and said, "You just have to go, and listen to your young lady's orders!" ”
Everyone looked at Lin Zhao suspiciously, what kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd? Although the maid was puzzled and hesitated, she did so!
After a while, the maid came out again and said respectfully: "Congratulations to the young lady, the young lady is invited!" ”
What the?
An unbelievable scream suddenly erupted from the Qinhuai River!
He answered correctly, Mu Sihong actually wanted to see him? It's incredible!
Yan Fu is not shallow, a group of men looked at Lin Zhao and were envious!
There are also many people who are curious, what is the mystery?
