From this day on, Chen Guang had to participate in the early dynasty and participate in the government every day, and after returning from the next dynasty, he would also practice swordsmanship in the courtyard, and as time went by, his swordsmanship became more and more proficient. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
A month after Chen Ang's birthday, all the tea leaves from the tea factory were sent to the Jin Palace, in addition to a batch in the palace, but also to each prince's mansion, he left a little bit, and he finished carving up, I wanted to take some out to see the market reaction, but it was out of stock, so I had to give up.
Autumn goes to winter, this year's winter is much warmer than last year, and there are not many days of snow, in such weather, nesting in the room with a soup pot to read and write, making a pot of tea, it is really a fairy day.
Winter passed unhurriedly, and after a winter of nourishment, Chen Guang even had the illusion that he had turned white.
The Lantern Festival seems to be a more grand festival than the New Year, on this day, the capital is full of lanterns, enjoy the lanterns, guess the lantern riddles, and be very lively.
As soon as it was dark, Min'er and Zhou Zhiruo couldn't wait to pull Chen Guang out of the East Palace, their new residence, and went outside the imperial city.
On this day, the curfew is postponed until midnight, and the gates are closed, so you can enjoy the party for the next few hours.
Chen Guang went out this time, in addition to Min'er and Zhou Zhiruo, there were also twenty people including Wu Xin and his little friends, who were scattered around Chen Guang, protecting the safety of the three of them anytime and anywhere.
Coming out of the palace, not far to the west, there is an inland river, here is the cultural street of the capital, selling pen, ink, paper, inkstone, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, selling art but not selling / body, selling / body not selling art, and everything is sold on this street. In the 21st century, this kind of place is called the riverside scenery belt.
The streets are crowded with people, all kinds of snacks are readily available, Min'er is a snack goods, seeing these things can't move at all, you have to buy all the food you want to eat.
Here, you can see lanterns with lantern riddles hanging on them anytime and anywhere.
Taking advantage of Min'er's efforts to buy braised eggs, Chen Guang found a lantern riddle to see.
"This flower has not been planted since ancient times, and it will bloom in the middle of winter. It's strange to have no roots and no leaves, and the spring breeze blows back to the sky. ”
Hey, isn't this a snowflake, Chen Guang smiled slightly, and took the pen next to him and wrote.
He put down his pen, and someone came by, and when he saw that the mystery had been taken first, he looked at it and walked away.
Most of these lantern riddles are hung by nearby businesses, and this lamp has the mark of their business name, which must be the most primitive billboard, and it is also interactive.
Just go all the way, guess the riddles all the way, and eat snacks all the way. After a while, they came to Liufang Bridge.
Liufang Bridge is a famous scenic spot in the capital, and it is also a paradise for literati and poets. In the special festival of the Lantern Festival, it is even more of a focal point.
Liufang Bridge, as the name suggests, is a bridge, a very wide bridge.
The bridge was full of people, men, women and children, stretching under the bridge.
Chen Guang and the three of them squeezed onto the bridge with difficulty.
In the middle of the bridge, there is an open space, and in the middle of the open space is a table of eight immortals, on which are placed eight bowls of wine.
At the table stood an old man with a goatee, who was shouting loudly at this moment.
"The old rule, there are a total of nine riddles below, if anyone answers it, I will dry this bowl of wine, if I can't answer it, I will drink this wine by myself."
"Okay, Master Wei is still as bold as ever, this bowl of wine is half a catty, if someone guesses it all, then you will be drunk here tonight, the lady of the family will not come to invite you back, you have to sleep in Liufangqiao all night."
Acquaintances in the crowd immediately came to make jokes about him.
This man named Wei Fuzi must have done a lot of such things, and everyone who often hangs out here knows him.
Master Wei smiled: "I have thought about these nine riddles for a long time before I came up with them, and I am very confident that no one will be able to answer them in a quarter of the time of the pillar of incense." ”
Since there must be rules for playing, there are nine bowls of wine on this table, and there is a lantern riddle under each bowl of wine, and no one can see the riddle, unless you take the initiative to serve the wine, so that although you see the question, but if you don't answer it, you have to drink this bowl of wine, and if you answer it, this wine will be drunk by the master.
This piqued Chen Guang's interest, and there was no doubt that it was the work of a few literati and people who liked to drink, because whether it was right or wrong, there were always people who wanted to drink.
"I'd like to see how many mysteries you've come up with this year." One person, presumably an old customer, directly picked up a bowl of wine and took out the riddle under the wine.
Born in a wealthy family since childhood, he often goes in and out to enjoy glory. Long live has also passed on the holy decree, and generations of children and grandchildren have been exploring flowers.
It's a riddle under this bowl of wine, a poem, that sounds pretty good.
This person read out the poem, and Chen Guang also got it into the live broadcast room.
"Come on, brothers, it's time to use your brains, guess the riddle, guess the riddle."
In the live broadcast room, millions of netizens were enthusiastic and started a big discussion.
At the scene, the brother who got the riddle frowned, and it was obvious that the riddle was not ordinary and difficult to guess.
Anyway, Chen Guang didn't have a clue at all, just read the first two sentences and thought that the mystery was the emperor, obviously, he was born in a rich family since he was a child, which emperor was not born in a rich family? But in the last two sentences, I was confused, and the emperor's descendants would not be mixed into Tanhua no matter how much they were mixed.
Since the man took the lantern riddle, this Wei Fuzi lit a piece of incense in front of him, the time of a quarter of a pillar of incense is very short, and Chen Guang compared the time in the live broadcast room, it is estimated that it is only five minutes. It's not always easy to come up with a riddle in five minutes.
Fortunately, Chen Guang is not fighting alone, although the wisdom of one person is limited, but what if the wisdom of a million people?
"Isn't this mystery the emperor?" Some netizens thought of going with Chen Guang.
"Obviously not, although the first two sentences make sense, but the last two sentences are obviously wrong."
"What's that......"
There was a heated discussion in the live broadcast room, and after a while, someone in the live broadcast room sent the mystery and solution ideas to Chen Guang.
Seeing that the incense was about to burn out, Wei Fuzi kindly reminded: "There is not much time left, if you can't guess, you have to drink." ”
He was very proud, after all, this was his own question, which stumped people, doesn't it seem that he is a little smarter than others?
The person who got the question was naturally anxious, but it was useless to be anxious, and if he couldn't think of it, he couldn't think of it.
Seeing that the time was coming, he suddenly said helplessly: "I can't guess." ”
He was about to drink, but he saw someone next to him and said, "I seem to have guessed it, why don't I try it?" (To be continued.) )
